Y/n had a difficult incident as a kid. His only friend is his partner. Now he begins his new life at UA. Will he be able to make new friends? More importantly will he be able to find someone who'll break his shell and who'll love him despite his pas...
I feel my heart beating as I fidget a bit. I take a deep breath and prepare myself. I take a look at Y/n and slowly open my mouth.
"Hey Y/n" I say to him.
"Yeah Tsuyu?" He responded back to me.
"There's something I want to say to you" I said to him. I feel my face heat up as a blush arose. I look down in hope that maybe he won't notice.
"What is it you that you want to tell me?" He asked in a calm voice.
I slowly look up and look into his e/c eyes. I take one last deep breath and pour my heart into the following words.
"Y/n....I like you" I said as I feel like face heat up a bit more.
We stare at each other for what seemed like an hour as Y/n looked at me with surprised look on his face. I could tell that this caught off guard so I wait for his response.
"W-what did you say Tsuyu?" He asked me dumbfound.
"I like you ribbit" I repeated, this time a bit louder so he could hear me. He continued to look at me till he finally gulped and managed to compose himself a bit.
"Tsuyu...I'm flattered that you feel that way towards me..." He said as my heart raced. "But I'm sorry...I can't return your feelings..."
A moment passed as those words escaped his mouth. My heart felt like it was falling apart. I could feel my eyes water but I held back as I attempted to on a brave face.
"It's ok ribbit. I understand" I lied to him. He looked at me with a sad look in his eyes. It was almost as he could see that I was lying.
"Tsuyu...I..." He started to say as he reached towards me.
*Ding*
My phone ringed as we snapped back to our senses. I take my phone out as Y/n pulls back his arm. I look to see I got a text from Mina.
Hey Tsu, Momo said she wanted us to meet up before lunch is over. It's about the cheering event. Meet me at the locker rooms. Don't be late
"Hey Y/n, I'm sorry but Mina needs to see me about something ribbit" I said a bit quickly as stood up.
"No it's ok I understand.." He said as he picked up the trash. "I guess I'll talk to you later...?"
However before I could respond, my legs were already running towards the locker room. I refuse to look back as I feel my eyes water up again. I got to the door of the girl's locker room but stopped before entering. I feel tears stream down my face, my heart feeling like it's breaking.
"Hey Tsuyu are you ok?" I hear a voice call out to me.
I turn to see someone looking at me with a concern look on their face. Once seeing my tear streaked face, they wrap their arms around me. I begin to cry into their chest as my heart ached.
Y/n POV
I watch as Tsuyu runs off to meet up with Mina. My heart ached after that conversation. I take our trash and throw them away as I wait for lunch to be over with.
"You're an idiot you know?" I hear Zwei talking to me. "You really hurt her."
"I know. It's not like I wanted to..." I told him.
"Then why did you? We both know that you do care about her. No use trying to deny it" He said to me.
"Zwei...I told her that because she'll be safer this way" I explained to him. "If Malice found out we were together, she would be in greater danger than if we stay as friends."
Zwei remained quiet after I said that to him. I guess he understood why I did what I did but it didn't change the fact that I hurt her.
Soon I hear an announcement calling all students back to the stadium. I walk slowly knowing that I was gonna have to face Tsuyu sooner than I wanted. My heart ached at the thought of seeing her face again.
(Time skip short as Y/n and Tsuyu nap under a tree at the park)
We stood in front of the stadium once again. I was confused as to why but that quickly changed as the crowd began to cheer louder. I look around to see why and I couldn't believe my eyes. Walking into the stadium were all the 1A girls wearing cheerleading outfits. My eye quickly look at Tsuyu as I feel my cheeks warming.
"Like what you see partner?" Zwei asked me.
I blush harder and quickly avert my eyes. I don't want her to think that I some pervert. Especially after rejecting her confession. I grip my chest as my heart clenched from the pain of that scene.
"Everyone it's time to move on the next part of the school festival!!" Midnight shouted as I look back up at her. "The students from the top 4 teams will be fighting it out in a one on one tournament. Time to show everyone the line up!!!"
She raised her hand again as the screen appeared again. I look at the line up and quickly found my name.

I look over at Mina but what I saw caught me off guard. She was glaring at me with pure anger. I don't want know what could of happened to make her mad at me. I look away to avoid her glare but I could still feel her staring. I try to pay attention to what Midnight had left to say.
"The next few events will be optional for the 16 students participating in the tournament. They may use this time to relax, study their opponents, or eat if they so choose so" Midnight explained to us.
After a few more announcements, they dismissed us with the first optional starting in 10 minutes and the tournament starting in a hour and half. I go to our classes locker room to nap before my fight with Mina.
"Hey Zwei, can you come out?" I ask him. He forms and stands in front of me.
"Do you need something?" He asked me as I sat down on the floor with my back on the locker. I set up an alarm on my phone to wake me up.
"I'm gonna take a nap" I told him. "Can you keep an eye out for me? And wake me up if needed?"
"Sure thing kid" He replied back as I began to doze off. "But I want to something if I can ask."
"Ask away Zwei" I yawned.
"Do you care about Miss Tsuyu?" Zwei asked quietly.
"With all...of my...heart" I said as I asleep.
Unknown to me, Zwei smiled at my answer. He lay across my legs with his ears perked up.
"Hopefully you'll be able to find the courage to be with Miss Tsuyu someday" Zwei whispered to himself. "You need a strong woman in your life...Y/n."
