And so the battle ended. Midoriya and Hagakure won to Kaminari and Sero. Barely. Midoriya felt the two boys watching him, he felt embarrassed to battle in front of them, to have them see how it went. The two boys being Bakugo and Todoroki. If it weren't for Hagakure's surprise attacks, Midoriya would have lost badly.
His whole body hurt, yet Hagakure looked okay, like not the slightest fight had occured.
"You're distracted" Told him Mr. Aizawa, as the training finished "Focus."
Hagakure poked Midoriya's shoulder, and her giggle could be heard. She repeated the words in a playful tone: " You're distracted, Midoriya~Kun~" Was it that obvious? Even a classmate that wasn't that close to Midoriya knew, who else could know?
Todoroki's and Bakugo's match was different, however. Midoriya paid close to attention - of course Hagakure played with that too: "Why so focused, Midoriya~Kun? If I remember correctly, just a moment ago you were so distracted, isn't that right, Midoriya~Kun?~". Todoroki easily defeated Kirishima, and just as easily Bakugo defeated Yaoyorozu. So the match was up to those two.
"Oh Midoriya~Kun, who will win? Who will be the one?~"
Damn it.
It was a tie.
Obviously Todoroki and Bakugo are extremely strong, but Midoriya didn't expect a tie. So they were going to change that score. Fight again in a few hours, for now they would rest in nursery. Hagakure stopped her playful teasing and told Midoriya that maybe he really should visit one of them. Actually, forget the visit one of them, Bakugo would just kick Midoriya out.
"I'll be visiting Todoroki while our other classmates battle. Sero~Kun, Kaminari~Kun and Kirishima~Kun are probably with Bakugo. Come with me, show him you care about him."
Under the weirdest love circumstances, Midoriya suddenly felt less lonely. Hagakure was there for him, helping him live with those overwhelming crushes. Midoriya then smiled for no reason at all.
"I-I will, Hagakure~San, t-thank you for helping me…"
To Midoriya's surprise, Hagakure stood silent for a little bit.
"So you really crush on them!"
"Shhh, not so loud!"
And Hagakure laughed happily, and soon Midoriya let out a shy chuckle too. And they both went to visit Todoroki.
There was a slight knock at the door. Gentle, shy, almost ashamed of being there. Then the door slided open quickly, fast, energetic and ready to party.
"Todoroki~Kun!!!" Hagakure jumped inside the room, screaming Todoroki's name and asking random questions about his health or how he was. Todoroki wasn't surprised or jumped by Hagakure's bubbly behavious, and he just answered her questions with silent nods or a quiet "Yes".
Then his eyes caught a glimpse of Midoriya's, and his face showed no reaction to the boy either. Not surprising. Midoriya - obviously - was starting to shake a bit, and awkward stutters came from his lips.
"H-H-Hey, T-Todoroki~Kun…!"
"Hey, Midoriya."
And silence installed in the room, interrupted by an obvious and loud cough coming from Hagakure. She noticed.
She noticed how much Midoriya looked at Todoroki and Bakugo.
She noticed how they looked into each other's eyes right now, silent, quiet, and in some sort of agreement.
She noticed how much Todoroki gazed at Midoriya in class, and how a grumpy frown formed on his face when the green haired boy talked to Iida or Uraraka or Tsuyu. Or anyone really.
She remembered his exact words. His exact answers to her questions.
"Yes, I do like Midoriya."
"No, silly, I mean, do you have a crush on him!?"
She remembered the silence in the classroom, as the two students were lonely there, left for cleaning. She remembered the feeling of October in the air, an orange and brown color pallette filled the quiet atmosphere. Quiet, yet comfortable, and Todoroki didn't seem disturbed at all by her questions.
"Yes, Hagakure, I have feelings for him."
For Todoroki, it would be hard to read Hagakure's face expression, but for us, it's easy to understand how much excited she was - like always.
"That's so cute! He totally likes you too!"
"No, he doesn't."
Todoroki looked… indifferet, as he said that. Did he not care? Hagakure was confused, and she made a little "hm?" out of that same confusion, asking Todoroki in no words to continue.
"Hagakure, he likes Uraraka."
His eyes were fixed on the floor, his hands grabbing to broom firmly, wiping the dust in the floor to a certain area already accumulated by a pile of it. His lips were closed shut. And Hagakure didn't know what to say to that.
"I-I don't actually think…"
"He does, and she likes him back."
Hagakure was starting to feel a bit more uncomfortable. She stopped her actions, and her unseen eyes focused on Todoroki's face. He looked up at her. And Hagakure felt shocked, because his eyes were actually teary, and the neutral look on his lips had been replaced by a gentle biting on the lower one, possibly to hold back tears.
Hagakure ran to him, knocking her broom on the floor accidentally, and hugged him tightly. She repeated him for what seemed like thousands of times of how sure she was Midoriya liked him, and he could feel him shake a little, silently crying the tears he had been holding back.
She could still remember his crying.
Hagakure remembered that, and as the memory faded away, she realized she had left the room, leaving Todoroki and Midoriya inside, alone. And she was crying. Because she was actually afraid. The invisible girl didn't expect Todoroki to be crying that day, she wasn't ready to see her friends cry over love drama. She was afraid she caused something impossible to begin, since she had been the one to drag those two to one room, and she had also been the one to pray the most for nothing terrible to happen.
Of course, nothing terrible happened, so Hagakure - and we all too - can relax.
