Chapter 8

"Midoriya." Shouto cautiously said,

Yes Todoroki." Izuku answered as he looked up from his books,

"Do your cheeks heat up when your with Yaoyorozu?" Shouto asked in full seriousness.

Izuku spit out the non-existent coffee that he was drinking.

"W-What d-do y-y-you m-mean?" Izuku stuttered,

"I mean, when I'm around her my heart beats really fast and sometimes when she smiles I feel my cheeks heating up and when she says something unexpected I don't know what to say, like at all, it's really weird," he pauses, "I mean I just think about her a lot and have this weird feeling around her, I've never felt this before and sometimes I get these weird urges like-"

Izuku cut him midway,

"I-I think I get it." Izuku covered his red face.
He definitely has a crush on her.

"Todoroki, my cheeks don't heat up when I'm with Yaoyorozu, but all the things you feel around her means that perhaps you have a crush on her?" He slowly stated.

"A crush?"
"A crush is when-"
"I know what a crush is Midoriya."
"Ah yes, I should have known."

The room was silent as Shouto thought about what Midoriya said.
After a few more moments of silence, Shouto began, "So I have a crush on Yaoyorozu, I have feelings for her, so this means that I'm in love with her?"

"Yes, I suppose so." Izuku smiled,
"Alright then, I need to go to my room, good night Midoriya and thank you." Shouto says as he walks to his room.
"Happy to help."

It was one day since Yaoyorozu hugged and thanked him and he still can't get that scene out of his head.
He sat on his bed.

I've never even thought about being in love, it's a distraction. Will me having a crush distract me from my goals? I guess it will but I don't want to avoid her. I just don't. Should I? I mean-

"Ahhh" Shouto groaned as he fell flat on the bed,
"This is complicated." He mumbled.

——————

So I guess I have a crush on Todoroki. Thanks for making me freak out Kyouka.

Momo sipped her tea, trying to calm her nerves.

But love can be a wonderful thing. What will mother and father say? I don't think they'll necessarily mind.
Who am I kidding? Of course they would be majorly concerned.
Wait. Why am I getting ahead of myself? I don't even think he shares the same feelings. But for now, I guess our friendship is more than enough.

Momo stood up, desperate to get her mind off things, she began to rearrange her room. Then she proceeded to organize her notes and finish up her assignments. After that, she took out her notebook.

I feel like writing something short today.

After a couple of minutes, she examined her work,

~The silent glow encases her, almost as if she's part of it's rays.
It's radiance so powerful yet so mild captivates her as she breathes in its aura.
"Beautiful." She whispers, her voice like that of crystals shimmering in it's dust.
Her eloquence and it's elegance truly was a connection.
'The moon song' they called it, a melody of conclusion.~

Momo was satisfied with this piece and then her eyes landed on her books.

What am I even doing? I should focus on work not on this. Why do I still write such foolish things. Get your head out of the clouds Momo, I've been wrapped up in my own ridiculous fantasies, that I strayed away from my actual goal. I came to UA to learn and better the business. I came here to prove to mother and father that I can do it. I cannot, no, I WILL not bring shame to the family again.
