As soon as I got back into my room, I changed into my pajamas and flopped onto my bed. I wonder if Izuku's done with training. Oooh! I should tell him about Mr. Aizawa's girly pop voice!

Y/n:

Izuku!

Guess what!

Izuku:

Sorry but I don't really want to talk now

Y/n:

Oh

Is everything alright?

Izuku:

I said I don't want to talk okay

Sorry

That came off wrong

Goodnight

Y/n:

Goodnight

I love you

-Seen-


    He didn't say it back? That never happens. Maybe he's just tired and cranky from training. Yeah, that has to be it.

-The Next Day-

    "Hey." I caught up with Izuku after he left the dorm hall to go to class.

    "Oh, (Y/n)!" He smiled, before remembering something. "Sorry about yesterday, I was just tired."

    "It's alright." I pecked his cheek. "I kinda figured. You have been training a lot recently; you better not overdo it."

    "I won't."

The boy began to stare off into space, as we silently walked together. Usually, he tells me if something's bothering him. Well, if it's about OFA, then I suppose he wouldn't.

    "Izuku." I snapped my boyfriend out of his by poking at his cheek. "Are you sure you're okay? You haven't spaced out like this in a while." Catching me off guard, the green haired boy threw his arms around me, lifting me up into the air. "Hey, what are you-"

    "You don't have to worry about me!"

-After Lunch-

    Izuku sure has been acting strange today. First, he was overly clingy with me where other students were, and now he's being distant.

    When we are at lunch, I usually hold his hand under the table once we finish our meals. Today, I put my hand on top of his, which rested on his thigh. Instead of turning his hand over to thread his fingers with mine, he moved his hand on top of the table. He never does that. Not to mention, he hasn't said a word to me since before homeroom started.   

Back in class, I sat at my desk, contemplating my actions. If he's acting like this, then it must mean that I did something wrong. But what the hell did I do? The only time that I actually pissed Izuku off was when he found out that I never told him about my brother being All Might's former sidekick. But we resolved that quickly.

    "You're awfully quiet." Katsumi sat on the corner of my desk, as she popped her lollipop in her mouth. "Usually, you're talking to your pooks."

    "I think he's mad at me," I admitted.

    "Woah, that's a first." The white-haired girl lowered her voice. "What'd you do to piss that little ray of sunshine off."

    "That's the thing. I have no idea." I buried my face in my hands. "He was acting strange earlier, but I thought he just wasn't getting enough sleep. One second, he was his normal clingy self, and now he's not talking to me."

    "Girl," Katsumi facepalmed. "Go talk to him after class, I'm sure it's some kind of misunderstanding."

    "Yeah, you're right. I'm thinking way too much into this."

-After School-

    I waited outside of the building after changing back into my uniform. He came outside after a few minutes, causing me to go up to him.

"Hey, Izu-"

    "Yeah, that's super cool, Iida." Izuku laughed, as he walked right by me with the class rep and Ochaco walking with him.

    He ignored me?

    "So, how'd it go?" Katsumi walked up from behind me, lightly punching my shoulder. Bakugo stood next to her, just wanting to leave already.

    "He... he just walked past me like I wasn't even there."

    "What?!" The white-haired girl dropped her bag, before rolling up her sleeves. "I'm gonna kill that little piece of-"

    The blonde grabbed the back of her collar. "Yeah, I'm not letting you get suspended. What the hell happened anyway?"

    "Her sorry excuse of a boyfriend has been ignoring her since lunch!" Katsumi growled. "Not even (Y/n) knows why he's doing it!"

    Bakugo's eyes slightly widened, as if he knew why my boyfriend was acting strange. "Just leave him alone for now. I'll go talk to him."

    "You will?" Since when is Bakugo actually a nice person?

    "I have an idea about what it is, but I can't tell you."

    "It's fine." I guess it is about OFA. "I'll probably find out later anyway."

***

    Katsumi and I went back to my room, while Bakugo went to train at Gym Gamma with Izuku again.

    "Yo!" The white-haired girl laid on my bed, as she scrolled through her phone. "Wanna guess how many Lady Hecate fan fictions there are now?"

    "People are writing fan fictions about me?!" I snatched the phone out of her hand to see the list of 44 stories all titled 'Lady Hecate x Reader'. "You've gotta be joking- Oh my god! Is that a Lady Hecate x Hawks? Nah. You gotta put the phone down."

    "I mean you two were seen together," Katsumi reasoned. "I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Lady Hecate x Endea-"

    "I am going to stop you right there," I cringed. "One's basically family, while the other is an old, abusive man. Not to mention that I'm sixteen, and those two are twenty-two and probably fifty-something."

    "DILF?"

    "Get the fuck out." I motioned to the door with my pointer finger.

    "Okay, I get it, my bad," she sighed. "Oh hey, I got a text from Katsuki."

    "What'd he say?" I questioned.

    She began to read the text word for word. "That damn nerd didn't realize that he was ignoring Tsutsumi, he was just out of it at school."

    As if on cue, my phone began to ding. "Guess that I was overthinking it."

Izuku:

(Y/n), I'm so sorry. You didn't do anything wrong, it's all my fault. I didn't mean to ignore you, I swear. Training's just really getting to me. I'll try to take it easier; I promise. I really do love you more than anything and I wouldn't do this to you on purpose.

(Y/n):

It's ok

I'm just glad that I didn't do anything wrong

I love you too
