Todoroki P.O.V

I don't know why, but I just can't stand seeing her sad. For some reasons, the sight of her smile warms my heart. But the sight of her tears makes it feel seem like my days just got darker. Why am I feeling this way for L/N? Am I... falling for her?

-What's Your Problem?-

Y/N P.O.V

"Thank you for comforting me, Todoroki" I said, pulling away from the dual haired boy. He sends me a small smile. I move my head from his shoulder and stand up. I place my necklace back inside my shirt. I turn to look at Todoroki and offer my hand to him. He grabs my hand, allowing me to pull him up. "I'll head back to the dorm. See you around, Todoroki..." I said. He nods his head at what I said. I turn around and walks off.

As I was about to enter the building, my body crashes into someone. I yelp and falls on the ground. I look up to see it's none other than Bakugo. He sends me a cold gaze as he walks past me with his hands inside his pockets.

"Okay, hold it right there!" I exclaimed. He turns to face me. "Just what is your problem, huh? You bumped into me, then you just walked away like nothing happened?" I said. He just sends me an annoyed look. He didn't say anything and just walks away. I scoff at him and let out a sigh. I guess there's nothing I can do. Since that's exactly how he usually is.

"Are you okay, L/N-Chan?" Someone said. I turn my head to see Midoriya. He offers a hand for me to take. I grab his hand, allowing him to help me stand. "Sorry about Kacchan. Him and I had a little argument a while. Well, I guess he's in a sour mood" he said.

"Sounds a lot like him..." I mumbled, making Midoriya let out a chuckle at what I said. "What were you both arguing about anyway?" I asked. He let out a nervous laugh at my question. I raise an eyebrow at his reaction. "Never mind. Forget I asked" I said. He just sends me an apologetic smile.

"Erm... L/N-San?" He said. I tilt my head as I stare at him, wondering what he wants to say. "The other day, when you played the violin. I really liked it. So... um... I w-was wondering, if you can play again?" He asked. I blink my eyes at his request.

"Um... sure" I said, nodding my head. His eyes lit up at my response. I gesture him to follow me. "I can play a different instrument. Not just violin. Does guitar works for you?" I said. He nods his head eagerly. I head inside my room to grab my guitar. I walk back out as he waits for me. "Let's go to the rooftop, Midoriya..." I said. He nods his head. We make our way to the rooftop.

We're now at the rooftop. I sit down with Midoriya next to me. I adjust the guitar to rest on my lap comfortably. I turn my head to look at Midoriya. "Any specific music you want me to play?" I asked. He place his finger on his chin and shakes his head. I hum softly and nod. "Hmm, alright... any songs works for you then, right?" I said. I start to adjust the note to my preference.

I turn my head to look at Midoriya who stares at me in awe. I feel my cheeks starting to get warm at what his reaction. I turn my head away as I focus on playing.

"Wow... you're really talented, Y/N" he said, making me smile softly at him. I hear someone calls out for him. I turn my head to see it's All Might. "I have to go... I'll see you around, L/N-Chan. Thank you for playing the piece for me" he said. I nod my head. He stands up and walks away.

I let out a sigh once he's out of sight. I know that I'm probably overthinking. But I can't help it. My anxiety makes me believe that maybe they all just accepted me out of pity. Deep in my heart, I believe that Midoriya and the others didn't actually welcomed me, and that they're all actually scared of me.

I turn my head to look at the guitar on my lap. I start to strum the guitar again as this time I decide to sing a little song. A song that reflects what I'm feeling.

Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy
Like all my friends hate me
Overthinking alone
No one picks up their phone
My anxiety tells me
That you're better without me
Now I'm crying alone
No one picks up their phone
So somebody save me, save me, save me
Do all my friends hate me, hate me, hate me?
I don't know, I don't know

I close my eyes as I sing the song. I feel tears gathering in my eyes, as I continue to sing.

Bakugo P.O.V

I saw Midoriya walking down the stairs from the rooftop with All Might. "You seem close with young L/N, huh?" He said. Deku's face turns red at his comment. I hid as they walk past me. Deku was hanging out with L/N at the rooftop?

I hear a soft sound coming from the rooftop. I make my way up the stairs. The closer I get to the roof, the louder the sound. It sounds like L/N is singing. I just stand behind the slightly ajar door as I listen to her voice as she sings the song.

I don't, I don't know
I don't, I don't know
I don't, I don't know
Am I just going crazy?
Feels like all my friends hate me
Overthinking alone
No one picks up their phone

'What's with that lyrics?' I thought to myself. I also hear the emotions coming from her voice as she sings. 'Did she... believe that we didn't care about her? That we hated her?' I thought.

The song eventually ends. I hear a soft sniffling sound coming from her. Looks like she's crying. I bit my lips as I contemplate what I should do. I kind of feel guilty, she could be singing this song because of how I acted earlier when she bumped into me.

If I approach her right now, will she even want to see me? After all, my action must've made her believe that I hate her. I don't hate her... I just don't know how to act around her. I didn't mean to act so rudely towards her.

I shake my head as I made up my mind. I push the door open, making her jump in her spot. She turns her head to look at me. "Oh, Bakugo" she said. Her voice sounds hushed and it cracked a little since she was still crying. Her eyes widen slightly as she quickly wipes away her tears and turns her head away from me. I feel my heart aches at the sight of her tears. Why did I feel this way?
