You're Just Not My Type (Tenya Iida x OC)

Chapter 53

Shina's pov

I was kinda surprised that Aizawa didn't yell at Bakugo and me for coming into class late.

We spend the first part of class taking notes. I cleared my mind to try to focus, but I always found myself back at the hospital. Maybe really need to talk to him so that I can stop thinking about it. That way, if he wasn't to act like it never happened, then I could sit and act like it never happened, and then I could gaslight myself into thinking it wasn't a big deal. Because it wasn't, I mean, it's an almost kiss-like- like who even cares...

I do. I care.

I hate that I care, and I don't even know what I'm feeling or how I'm feeling. I'm just a girl. I don't need this right now.

Before I knew it was time for lunch.

"Hey Bakugo, can I meet you at our table? I just need to do something real quick."

"I don't care, do whatever you want," Kastuki stated. This is Bakugo's way of saying 'go ahead.'

"Cool." I smile and walk over to Tenya.

"Hey-" I say nervously.

"Hello Shina, are you alright? I didn't mean to cause you to have a panic attack." There was panic in Tenya's eyes that made my heart drop.

"Oh- Yeah, I'm ok. I think it's just that I felt everyone's eyes on me, and I got nervous. I wouldn't say you yourself caused my panic attack. I should probably get those under control." I laugh nervously.

"Well, we all go through different things, so if you need any support, I'm here for you. Anyway, how can I assist?"

"Well, if you are okay with it, maybe we can talk now."

"Oh, oh- of course." Tenya composed himself.

"Cool." I nod timidly.

I walked to the courtyard outside with Tenya, and we sat under a tree.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"You can go first-"

"You can go first-"

"I insist."

"I insist."

We paused and laughed as we had been talking in unison.

"Oh, Shina, please go first," Tenya asked.

"Well, I think we might want to talk about what happened In Hosu. at the hospital." I paused and felt a small blush on my face.

"I agree. I think we should talk about it." He stated. Not that I could read any emotion on his face.

"Right, well. I want to say sorry. For running away, I just got nervous and ran, which I tend to do often. I wasn't trying to be rude. So when you didn't reach out over the weekend, I-I thought I offended you."

Tenya stared in disbelief, and he cleared his throat.

"You didn't offend me. In fact, I thought that I had offended you. You know, because you ran away, I thought that I had done something wrong. But I see that I didn't, so I am grateful. But I also apologize." Tenya bowed his head down slightly.

"For what?" I asked, confused.

"I should have reached out and called you. I didn't know how to or what I would even say." Tenya shakes his head a bit.

"Yeah, I get that," I say.

An awkward silence fell over us.
