"Yes.. Yes! I would love to come! The flowers there look beautiful! I can't wait to actually see it in person!" He exclaimed in joy.

"Is that so.." I replied. I stood up from my seat. We both looked at each other.. giving a sweet atmosphere between us.. it was like some sort of magnet I couldn't take off. I wish this would stay foreve-

A bike was ringing attention at us.. we were in the way.. I grabbed Izuku by the hips and pulled him towards me. Leaving both of his hands and arms to rest on my chest. Izuku was looking at the bike that passed by us behind him and while he wasn't looking at me.. I was giving him a gaze.. giving him all my attention. At that moment I didn't even want to bother thinking about whatever that was surrounding me. Nothing else mattered. This boy.. made me realize.. that I can't always be sad.. I can't always be unhappy with what I have.. I can't be selfish.. I can't always hate myself.. he made me appreciate who I was because... he assured me that I wasn't facing some sort of misery alone.. he made me feel less lonely, he made me feel like as if.. he's my.. flower.. soft and fragile yet feels magical. He magically made me love myself because.. what did he do..

Ahh..

Ba-thump

What is this feeling..

Ba-thump

"Ummm s-shouto?" He said, interrupting my train of thought. "Thank you for moving me out of the way..I could've been hurt.. haha" giving me a faint smile, he reminded me what situation we were in. He looked at our current position and looked back at me.

"Ah yes.. Ofcourse" I let him go out of my grasp. "I guess we should be heading home..." I said.. frowning

"Don't worry.. we can still hang out tomorrow right?" He must've noticed me, sad, and trying to comfort me..

"Yeah.." I can't wait.. "I'm really happy I have you.. Izuku" I can't wait... "You're a really good friend..." I can't wait till tomorrow.. "You know?"

"Hmm?" He said showing a face like he wanted to say thank you a thousand times, clenching his fists.

"I've never smiled at anyone..." I looked away.. "so this is.. a first.." I looked back wanting to see his reaction. His emerald eyes were shining, his mouth open wide showing his teeth, showing his face like he was going to squeal.

"R-really??" So eager to know if it was true

"Yes.. why would I lie?" Smiling back at him

"Wow..." he said looking at the ground. "Thank you.." then took a glance at me. "I'm in a hurry.. but" he walked faster beside me and walked in front of me. Spreading his arms open so a hug. "Hnggg~" his struggle in squeezing me tight in his arms. Submerging his head on my chest.. saying "thanks a bunch.." all ruffled in my clothes. All I could see of him was his red ears and pink cheeks and tight eyes... He quickly broke the hug.. took my hand and told me to open it, he placed something in it and ran off. "Bye!" He yelled.. He really was in such a hurry.. he didn't manage to tell me why.. I mean he did tell me that he wanted to go home but he didn't tell me what the rush was.. I sighed giving off a vibe that I miss him.. I looked at what Izuku gave me and it was a white, long, strip of paper that was rolled up.. I unravelled the message and saw numbers on it... saying:

+62-8472-9889
For Todoroki

His.. number. I think at that moment I was.. blushing.. not too much though.. I felt my forehead compared to my cheeks were the same temperature.. and both of my hands were cold.. which meant that my hands were sweating.. It was a weird feeling.. I've never felt this before.. I wasn't nervous neither was I scared nor terrified.. so what is this feeling? 

I came home and took my phone lying right beside my bed. I went to my contacts.. only seeing my entire family's name except any friends.. I was.. excited to add Izuku's number. My heart has never pumped this much without exercising..

Shouto: Hi
I texted

Izuku: Hello! Ah! You finally got my number!
He replied no longer than a minute

Izuku: Sorry I was in such a rush, I had only realized that my mom told me to cook rice as soon as I got home.. and I didn't want my mom to arrive with an empty stomach

Shouto: No worries... also. Are we meeting up right after school tomorrow?

Izuku: Yes! but I'll have to be a few minutes late when I meet you..

Shouto: ?

Izuku: Tomorrow is the event day.. remember?

Shouto: What?

Izuku: We have.. cosplay day tomorrow..Mr.Aizawa told us.

Shouto: Cosplay? He really told us that?

Izuku: Yeah! U don't remember? Oh.. right.. You left earlier than all of us.. umm right. Mr.Aizawa told us last minute. Sorry I forgot to tell you.. 

Shouto: No, it's okay. But what is the cosplay supposedly for?

Izuku: Umm.. it's really weird. He said it effects our behaviour skills on our report card as well as... money.

Shouto: That's odd

Izuku: Since it was such a sudden decision.. he told us the class gets to vote on what to wear.. It had to be appropriate and clean.

Shouto: Is everyone supposed to participate?

Izuku: They did say it's not a must to join in on the event... it's mostly for volunteers. They also say that the longer you wear the outfits recommended in class.. the more amount of money you get. Whatever gender that votes, yet wins, evenly gets paid double, the amount of hours the longest cosplayer works. So... I'm staying back a little bit later after school.

Shouto: Oh.. so you're participating the event? I never knew you like these kinds of things

Izuku: N-no no no no no.. I was forced to participate in the event.. it's not anything to my liking, but I knew I had to agree on it because me and my mother are running low on cash.. this is the least I can do.

Shouto: Is that so? I have a lot of money.. I can give you some. You don't have to even pay me back that ice-cream I payed for you.

Izuku: Noooo it's fine really! I'll just work hard~ hehe please don't worry about it.

I really can't help but care...

Shouto:...

Izuku: Ahh.. please. Look. I'll meet you right after school.. all cosplayers meet in the cafeteria in order to serve those students in lunch and recess.. You can meet me there if you think I'm taking too long.

Shouto: O.k. I suppose..

Izuku: I'll see you tomorrow.. I have to go to bed.. Promise you'll meet me okay??

Shouto: Ofcourse

Cosplay huh? I wonder what Izuku would wear..
