Anime Avengers

Chapter 13

{Ochako Uraraka p.o.v.}
After what the Principal and All Might said at the assembly, I can't help but be worried out of my mind about Deku. I don't even know where he lives to check on him. All I can do is hope I guess, I wish there was some way I could help him get better but I'm not the nurse so I'd be useless.
I get to the beach and sit on the sand just to enjoy the view. The villains are making everything tear down around us. The fact that they even attacked Deku says that they'll hurt or kill whoever they want without a care.

"There's no way I could tell him, I wouldn't be able to get the words out. Plus, what if he doesn't feel the same? It would be embarrassing if I was the only one."
~
I shake my head and I feel my face burning red.
Why do I get so embarrassed when I think about him now? I used to be just fine until Aoyama brought it up awhile ago.
~
"Is it because, you like him?"
~
"Ughhhh!" I throw a rock at the water, it skips across and finally sinks.
Just like my heart when I see him. What!? No! Don't think like that! That's not how you think at all! We're just friends and everything is fine. Just stay calm and it'll be okay.
"Can I join you?" I look up and see Todoroki.
What is he doing here?
"Yeah, sure." He sits next to me and looks at the view too.
"What are you doing here? May I ask?"
"Just to sit here, the same as you."
"Have you heard from Deku?"
"Yeah, he texted me and the rest of our friends. I'm guessing you don't have his number?"
"No, I haven't thought about asking."
"All Might thinks we should get in a group if we're going to fight with the heroes against the villains. Of course, I already know that Midoriya will. He never says no to fighting against them even if he gets tortured, that just motivates him more."
"That's true. So our group of him, you, Bakugo, Kirishima, Iida, Asui, Mineta, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Jiro, and I?"
"Seems like it. And I guess anyone else who wants to join."
"Well I guess it's better as a group to fight The League Of Villains instead of alone. But we're U.A. students and we need to prove that we're ready to be heroes."
"I was thinking the same thing."
"I'm just worried about Deku right now."
He looks at me and I look at him, "What?"
"You know, you make it obvious that you like him. Everyone sees it but him because he's blind behind that journal he's always got under his nose."
"W-What!? I never said that!"
"You don't have to. The whole class knows, it's obvious."
I turn red again and look down, playing with the sand.
"If you don't at least get it off your chest, nothing is going to happen. Even if he doesn't feel the same way, at least you told him before the battle goes down instead of never saying anything at all."
He's right, waiting too long would ruin the point. And if something happened to either of us then it would be terrible that we never told each other the truth about anything.
"Thanks, Todoroki."
"Good luck, whenever you decide to." He gets up and leaves.
I guess I'm a little more confident about it, but I still feel my cheeks burning. Ugh so embarrassing.
