Limit Reached

Carnival Adventures

— POV: Midoriya —

I waited the whole day for school to end, since I was so excited to do something fun for once. Todoroki and I weren't a couple, but every time I'm around him I always get a protective feeling, that if someone was to ever hurt me, he would be right there for me.
That's something Kacchan couldn't even give to me, or anything meaningful in the first place.

I went home and got dressed in a casual t-shirt, and waited for Todoroki at the front entrance of the carnival gate.

"Shoto!" I waved at him as he walked towards me. He took my hand, snatching one of the tickets.

"Let's go." He smiled generously.

About two hours passed by, and I was already having a way better time than every moment I had with Kacchan combined.
Todoroki was not only attractive, but he was a sweet gentlemen, and had great manners around others. He was almost the complete opposite of Kacchan.

Am I in love? I question myself.
No, I'm not making another mistake.

But no matter how many times I try to convince myself that I hate Kacchan, my heart always says the opposite. I love Kacchan, and only him. However, I still try to encourage my heart that he's not the one, even though he is.

I don't want to fall into his arms again. No, not in his dangerous arms.

— POV: Bakugou —

"Kirishima, you idiot! What took you so long?" I drag the hard-headed bastard into the carnival center.

"I was waiting for you since 6:30, and you come at 8?! My baby might be home already! The one thing I ask you to do, you can't even-"

"Uh, Baku.." I look behind me and I spot two familiar figures; Icyhot and my babyboy.

My heart races when I see my ex, but I have to act like I never have a fuck about him, so he'll be jealous.

"What were we doing, Kirishima-baby?" I say loud and proud, hoping for the hard-headed boy to catch on.

"Oh! Uh.." He began stuttering, that idiot. He was making me look bad in front of Deku.

That's when I went for the kiss.

I seized his rather soft lips on mine. For some reason, Kirishima didn't pull away.
Does that bastard like me?  I get angry at the thought.

After a while, I pull away. I see that Deku was standing right in front of us, in which Icyhot went somewhere else, probably to make the scene less awkward.

"You taste so much better than my ex!" I roar and praise the man I just kissed. Deku, however, was blazing red with anger and frustration, in which in response I give my signature smirk to him while giving eye contact.

"Why are you standing here, asswipe?" I stare with passion in his face. "Don't you have to tend to your little boyfriend?" I frown upon him with a disgusted look on my face.

— POV: Midoriya —

"COME AT ME, DEKU! OR SHOULD I SAY EX! I HATE YOU! I'VE ALWAYS HAVE! IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HATE YOU AGAIN!"

My eyes started tearing up as he was practically shouting in my face. However, his eyes were watering a little too.

I stood silent as all the emotions I was feeling were shown.
"Bet you feel like what you really are, huh? A piece of shit. You're dead to me!" He finishes me off. "Let's go, Kirishibae." They both walk away.

Todoroki appeared again before me, with his arms open. I hug him tight as tears rolled down my eyes once again.

"He's not worth shit. You deserve so much better."

After we hug, he puts on a more serious face.

"Hey, Midoriya, can I ask you something?"

"Of course. What is it?"

"I like you. Do you like me?"

My heart skipped a beat, but I already knew the answer.

"Todoroki, I love you so much as a friend.. but I love Bakugou."

"But he hates you!"

"... It's complicated. I still have feelings for him."

He turns around.

"Please don't let this change anything between us." I declare, trying to ease the tension. I take his hand in mine.

He turns his head back around, smiling at me.

"I trust you."

I smile back. I really do love him, indeed.

We spent the rest of the evening playing games and having fun, while trying to get my mind off of Bakugo.
