izuku's Point of view

It's been nearly a year and a half now since the great battle, and to be honest, it doesn't seem real after everything we've been through everything we had to do which is back at school in her second year training to become heroes me. It's like none of it ever happened because you did they still rebuilding city, but it just feels like everyone's come back to the way things were before.

Not that's a bad thing it's the greatest thing in the world it's just I don't know, it doesn't seem real to me but we could just go through all of that and just go back to the way things were then again I had my reality shattered when I found out that alternate worlds exist, and I fell in love with a girl I cannot longer see so maybe it's just me

Everyone's noticed night sun transformation, how I'm more positive I make jokes I laugh a lot and I can hear my friends talking in the background confused on what caused the sudden change and I can't tell them because they'll think I'm lying or be or they think I've gone crazy

That's the worst part of all of this. I can't tell them what I've done with a mate who have fallen in love with so I just go about my day pretending like everything is fine then reality is I really wanna see her

What makes things worse is that some girls have replied above to me and I've turned them down. I've not really given them. A reason. I just tell them that there's someone else which unfortunately gives the girls the impression that they're at the someone else I know it was stupid, but I just can't betray Gwen.

I know she said that I needed to move on, but I just can't I keep thinking about her. I draw her in my sketchbooks all the time I learn to play the drums just a few closer to her. I also got rid of some of my all might merchandise well got rate is a strong word. I would say I placed it somewhere else and I started to realise that being an overbearing fanboy it's a bit... Childish after everything I've been through

Right now, I'm just walking through the corridors of our temporary school, since UA kind of got destroyed in the last battle i'm doing this because I just rejected another girl from general support studies. She was a nice girl, but she just wasn't my type... and she wasn't her

Todoroki: so you turn  down another girl

I nod as I continue walking: yep... She wasn't really my type

Mineta Who seemed angry: Midoriya! I don't get you, you have a girls confessing her love to you left right and you would turn them all down what is wrong with you?! I would do anything to be in your shoes!

I roll my eyes at the comment: that's because you're a pervert, for the record, it's not like I don't have any interest in girls whatsoever it's just they're not her

Ashido gasped: Oh yeah, your secret love, the one that you don't tell any of us about come on Midoriya give us some details. Do you even give us her name come on details details, how did you meet? How did she steal your heart so much so that you will refuse any other girl?

Oh God here we go again ever since I told them about this other girl all anyone in class a want to talk about is who she is she

Kaminari: yeah like does she know about Uraraka

And here we go again with the other thing, just because I now call her by her first name. Does that mean we are romantically involved: for the hundredth time, there is nothing going on between me and her were just really good friends

Ashido: but you call each other by first names, though that's got to mean something

Yeah, we've been to a life of death situation and we had a heart-to-heart moment, but that doesn't mean  we are romantically involved: look at guys there's something going on between me and her and I would appreciate it if you respect my privacy.Look the girl I'm in love with she is amazing. She is the whole reason I came back to UA without arguing well that in another guy, but the point I'm trying to make is she special to me even if I I cannot see her now, if you excuse me, I'm heading back to the dorms

It's better for me to just walk away from this this otherwise they'll go on about it for hours. I can't understand why everyone so interested in my secret love it's gotten so bad that I have to hide my notebooks with drawings of her and I can't let anyone see my phone on the off chance that they'll see a picture of her

It's not like I don't trust everyone, it's just if I say I'm in a relationship with Gwen Stacey well, they'll I've gone mad since Gwen Stacy in our universe, lived well over 200 years ago and was a famous revolutionary in reforming civil rights for people with quirks I mean, I could show them the picture, but that would only lead to more confusion because Gwen looks almost identical to her counterpart in this universe and I don't want to break anyone's reality when they find out alternative realities exist. So now I just sit in my room and go through my drawings of her, imagining us together and pretending like it's actually possible when it's not.

I want it to be. I want us to be together, but my world doesn't even believe in ultimate reality is that even if they did, we don't have the technology to travel there plus knows what kind of dangers would come along if we accessed those alternate universes, and that's a risk I'm not willing to take for now I'll just pretend like she's here with me see only thing I can do

Closing my eyes, I just imagine her in my head I smile way it makes me feel the way she looks at me how happy it makes me I can almost hear her voice

Gwen's voice in my head: izuku

It's so clear, it's almost as if she's here: izuku!

That's very clear, almost to clear way, don't tell me... I open my eyes and she's there right in front of me. I'm not imagining this she's there Gwen Stacy is right there in front of me

 I'm not imagining this she's there Gwen Stacy is right there in front of me
