Not the CONFESSION you'd expect

Chapter 3: Toga

Toga

-x-

Five months. Five fucking months of hell have passed meaning there is still another four more left before my mission. Izuku has spent almost half of his year waking up late, studying in school, checking in with the League of Villains, then topping it off with cleaning up Dagobah beach. Training was also sprinkled in there every now and then instead of cleaning.

Now, as painful as Izuku Midoriya makes it sound, he does find some amusement at school and around the town. Because of his extensive training with Dabi he has turned from a scrawny, weak little Deku that everyone hates into a taller, far more mature Deku who gives nosebleeds to every woman who sees him in his smaller clothing because his mum won't let him get any new uniforms. He can't even stutter if he tried hard enough. The only downside to this little entertaining 'joke', some girl followed him to Dagobah beach and recorded him working out. This got sent around the school and elsewhere. Before you knew it a crowd started to appear and cheer him on for his hard work helping make the beach use-able again.

The fame wasn't good for the League of Villains. The attention drawn to Izuku means that Dabi cannot go out and train him some days. At least they had a trump card, being a female going by the name, Toga. She and Izuku were somewhat close in terms of friendship, even though Kurogiri knew it would turn into something more. They were also the same age and into the same stuff like MarioKart and knives. She would always stay to watch Izuku train and whenever someone came to ask her why Toga was looking at the other person's new crush, Toga simply replied with "I'm his girlfriend," inevitably scaring them off.

When Izuku was not training he would be seen walking home with Toga, laughing and chatting away, both not knowing how long they can do this for before they have to split ways and head off to another mission.

Tomura has also matured a fair bit in that short amount of time. He no longer jumps around in excitement and can actually handle a loss in a game without turning the controllers into dust. But Tomura did something that Dabi and Kirogiri will treasure forever. He was filming Izuku stumble into the bar after a long of school. He was now halfway through his sixth month of training and completely used to the routine of managing sleep, school, and Dabi. But today he was particularly tired. He flopped down onto the bar counter before muttering under his breath "...Toga..." For some reason Tomura started recording instead of opening his phone to check missions and caught everything Izuku said about the crazy blond girl.

"Hey, hey Izuku..." Tomura started to shake him awake while still recording. "Training starts soon."

"Wh-where's Toga?"

"She is still tired from her last mission."

"Oh... ok." Izuku lay back down and started to doze off, but Tomura wasn't going to let that happen.

"Why are you so sad? Is it because you like her?" A grin formed on his face before Izuku muttered under his breath.

"Yeah, I love her, so what?"

His eyes shot open.

Kurogiri dropped a glass.

Dabi burnt the table.

Tomura stopped recording.

Toga's phone pinged;

"Hey mum, I'm going to go hang out with my friends later this afternoon. I might stay the night. Is that okay?"
