Midoriya P.O.V

"So why did you run away" Todoroki asked me.

"I felt like everybody was staring at me" I said while looking down. Lies, I thought to myself.

"If they were staring at you, why become nervous? We're all your friends, he said while looking me in my eyes. "Did Bakugo say something to you?" He said while his voice went dark.

"Hey nerd. You got the hots for icy hot or something?"
"Well. It's pretty obvious he likes you. Make a move."
"Because. You helped me with Kirishima. I owe you this much."

"He did? Didn't he? Don't worry I'll hand-" he said before I cut him off, almost screaming No.

He looked at me genuinely confused. He let go of me and we began walking.

"He did say something, but it was anything bad. It was actually good I guess. It made me think, so I felt a little overwhelmed with everybody's eyes on me. So I ran." I said while running my hands through my hair.

Soon we began to talk about everything.

School, life, favorite food, favorite color, favorite tv shows, basically everything.

"So who do you like?" I asked him, which caught me by surprise. I didn't mean to say it, but it was already too late, so I kept going with it. "You like Momo?" I asked. "No. I don't like her, as a friend, yes. Anything other? No. Besides, I'm gay. I have no interest in girls."

The last two sentences had me shook.

"W-well. Well I- um" I said before he pressed his lips onto mines. It caught me by surprise, but I kissed back.

He was my first kiss, I knew I liked him all along, but I didn't know he felt the same way I do. Suddenly I started hearing ringing, so we stopped kissing.

Next thing you know, I was in Recovery Girl's office.

I sat up moaning from disappointment to think my dream had actually happened. She walked in.

"You're finally up!" She said while smiling at me. "Your friends were awfully worried about you. You were running away from them, then you fell down the stairs" she said while I looked at my arms and legs. "You broke some bones, but I fixed them, you'll have some scars, but nothing major" she said while giving me the thumbs up. Suddenly, All Might came in.

"Young Midoriya! Are you alright?" he said sitting next to me. "I'm fine! Just a little clumsy" I said while scratching the back of my neck.

I feel so guilty. How am I suppose to kill somebody. Not even somebody. Todoroki, when I think I have feelings for him. I sigh in defeat.

"Well. I'm going to go to class! I'll see you guys later!" I said while running out the room. Suddenly, I was pulled in a portal.

I saw Tomura, Dabi, Toga and Kurogiri sitting while I appeared in front of them.

"Kid. You're not cut out for this mission" Tomura said while cocking his head to the right.

"Are you?" He said sternly.

"Listen. I'll give you more time. I've noticed you been hanging out with him though." He said while standing up.

"You don't like him. Do you?" He said while putting his hand on my shoulder, keeping one finger up so he doesn't harm me. I look to Dabi who gives me a concerned look. He knew I was gay, and he knew I liked Todoroki.

"No" I said looking Tomura in his eyes.

"You can go now" Tomura creepily smiled as Kurogiri sent me back to the school.

It's no way I can do this mission. What am I suppose to do? I thought to myself as I walked into class. I sat in my seat and never spoke a word.

I've received some weird glances from everybody, but I didn't care.

Should I tell All Might? Should I run away? Should I warn Todoroki? Should I beg them to spare him and tell them I've grown to like him?

So many possibilities, but only a few outcomes, most of them being bad.

I'm going to protect Todoroki, I thought to myself as I looked over to him while he looked over to me.

I'll protect him. With my life.
