Unexpected

Ch 16: Lies or Love?

"Don't tell me... you like... need to shit?" Bakugou asked obliviously.
Kirishima burned even brighter.
"This is why I hate you so much." He pouted.
Bakugou smiled and slapped Kirishima's face. "Whatchya gonna do about it, huh?"
Kirishima gasped.
Bakugou's smile was playful.
No furrowed eyebrows or angry dents were visible.
Just a plain sweet half smile.
"Hey, if I were that stupid I think I'd be a freaking millionaire for how many situations I feign ignorance." He replied.
"Uh... then..." Kirishima started.
Bakugou grabbed Kirishima's right and left hand and flung him to the wall.
He locked his arms together with one hand.
"I'm not good for you." He warned.
"I-I... I don't care!" He shouted.
"I'm a BAD boy. You couldn't handle me even at your best."
"Bakugou... I--" He started. He sighed and then began again.
"I want to try this out with you."
He said softly.
"You're going to regret it. BIG TIME." Bakugou answered.
"In fact, most of the time I might as well be beating the shit out of you."
"A-are you saying... you can't be changed?" Kirishima asked embarrassed.
"I don't know." Bakugou answered honestly.
The look in his eyes expressed worry and trouble.
"Do you think you can be the one to change me?" He said urging him on.
"If not by a large margin, I think I can change you a little. Even if we don't work out... What's the harm?" Kirishima asked.
"I'll say this once and I'll say this now. If you and I don't work out. I'll always be your friend. I care about you, dumbass." A moment of silence filled the room. "DON'T TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS OR YOU'RE DEAD. GOT IT?" Bakugou warned.
"Y-Yeah..." He replied with a soft nervous smile.
"But that doesn't mean I'll be with you. Idiot." Bakugou scoffed.
"Bye, bastard."
Bakugou left leaving the door open and Kirishima alone in the dark classroom.
After a minute of solitude he clenched his fists and lowered his head.
"So you're gonna play hard to get, huh? Two can play at that game! Players but not lovers? What is that?"
Kirishima ran out the classroom and headed down the hall.
Aizawa-sensei passed by him.
"Is anyone else still in the classroom? I forgot to lock it. I need to make sure everyone is out." Aizawa said.
"Uuuh. No it was just me, Sensei. Sorry! Haha." He said convincingly.
"Ooookay then." He grumbled.
Aizawa walked towards his class room and locked it up.
Kirishima ran downstairs and outside the school.
It was dusk and the sun was barley up.
"Momma! Sorry! I'm coming home late, too!"
After a few hours passed and everyone had gone home Aizawa went to his car and opened the door. He paused.
He immediately closed it and drew back.
"Aaaaw! C'mon! Don't be like that!" Tomura called.
"Get out of here." He said angrily.
"Shouta. Why do you continue to reject me? You know we've always been one." He taunted.
"I'm done with you! GET OUT!" He shouted.
Tomura got out of the car and put his hands up.
"Are you saying that All Might is better than me?" He said angrily.
"What?! You crazy fool! This is the reason I left you in the first place!" Aizawa shouted.
"Do you really think I'd let you go that easily? You're mine. And you'll always be mine!"
"Get out of my life! And get out of my way. I'm tired, I have dry eye again and I'm not dealing with your bullshit!" Aizawa yelled furiously.
"Fine. I won't get in the way of my princess's beauty sleep!" He cooed. "You seem to be aging rather quickly."
"Like you have room to talk?" Aizawa scoffed.
"You're right. I suppose. After all... We have so much in common!" He smiled.
"Shut up. Shigaraki." He got inside the car and locked all the doors. He turned on the engine and backed out of the parking lot.
"That creep." He whispered. "If the car didn't explode then he must have placed a tracking device. I'll have to disassemble it manually just to find his little tweaks! That bastard!"
Shigaraki smiled and waved as the car carefully drove away.
"Shouta... when are you ever going to learn?" He sighed.

The Next Day

"Tsuyu-chan!" Ochako called.
"Uraraka-san." Asui replied.
"Whataya say we hang out together today?" She asked her.
"Hang out? Like after school?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure!" She said delighted.
"I don't know. I'd really like to! But I'm not too sure." She said uneasy.
"Why's that?" Ochako asked concerned.
"I... Don't you have to be with Midoriya today?" Tsuyu asked.
"No, no! Tsuyu-chan! You're best girl! If I had the choice, I'd spend all my time with you!" Ochako admired.
"Stop..." Tsuyu blushed.
"Please, please! You're the only one I can go with! Jirou-san is too rockish and Momo-san is... different." Ochako laughed nervously.
"But I'm frogish." Asui said embarrassed.
"Tsuyu-chan! You're the same as me! We both take advantage of gravity and the air! We both like to do things out of the ordinary and we have good chemistry!" Ochako complimented strongly.
Asui was quiet.
"Okay..." She said suddenly.
"If you're willing to go that far..."
"I AM!" Ochako insisted.
She edged closer to Asui.
"There you are!" Iida shouted.
"AGH! Iida-kun! Don't you see?! I'm in the middle of something here!" Ochako shouted. 😡😣😤
"You ready to finish this game?" Iida asked competitively.
"Iida-kun!" Midoriya called.
"Yes?" Iida answered. "Is something wrong, Midoriya-kun?!"
"Ah! I've got a question to ask you." Midoriya said sheepishly.
"What is it?" Iida asked.
"Can we talk in private?"
Ochako looked hurt.
"Uh, Ochako-san! It's not that you're not important! It's just... guy things. Things that only guys can understand!" He said frantically.
"No, I get it." She replied. "I really do. If you feel like you can tell me one day, I'm right here."
"Thank you, Ochako-san!" He said happily. "C'mon Iida-kun!" Midoriya grabbed Iida by the hand and dragged him down the hallway.
They ran to the courtyard and sat down near the fountain.
After sitting in silence for a long time, Iida finally asked him.
"What's wrong Midoriya? Did something bad happen to you?!"
"Uh-mmph." He answered. "It's just the opposite." Midoriya's face lit up. His cheeks were rosy red, his breathing was heavy and he gave off a glow.
"Midoriya... Are you..." Iida said, too shocked to move.
"Iida-kun..." He started. "What does it mean to act so silly in front of someone you barely know?"
"Midoriya no way!" Iida shouted.
He began to think. Does this mean... He's in love? But... who could it be? And when did it happen? Too many questions, too little time!
Iida sighed. "Well... it seems to me... that... You have feelings."
He mustered out the word.
"Eh? Y-y-you think-k so?" Midoriya stammered.
"Yes. I'm certain of it." Iida declared.
"B-but... It's just... too sudden!" Midoriya said breathlessly.
"I'm not too sure since I don't know the details. But what you're describing is love. Or something similar to it."
"Similar?" He asked. "But what could be similar?"
"Maybe your overboard respect or admiration for someone you deeply care about could confuse you into thinking you are in love. When in fact, you wouldn't even think about having sexual relations with them let alone let them touch you inappropriately."
"Oh." Midoriya pouted.
It doesn't look like the answer he wanted. He's pouting in embarrassment and disappointment. What should I tell him? Iida thought.
"W-well! Don't mind me! I c-could always have the facts wrong!" Iida laughed nervously. "Always go with your heart. Don't let me stop you!"
"Thank you, Iida" He smiled happily. "You know just what to say!" Midoriya giggled.
After a moment of silence
Iida smiled and looked at Midoriya. "So... who is it? This mystery person."
Midoriya sighed and looked up at the sky. His facial expression in complete bliss. "A mystery person." He replied.
