Tell Me This Isn't Real ~ Tododeku Love Story

4 - Jealous Much?

I was minding my own business in class when Momo handed me a note. "From Uraraka" was written on the front. I unfolded it carefully, beginning to read it.

"I hate to be so mean, but stay away from Deku. I love him and he loves me and he is mine. Please stop trying with him." The note read.

I sighed, folding it back up and slipping it into my pocket, glancing at Uraraka, who was giving me the death stare. All throughout class I felt her eyes burning into my skin, telling me to back off. So that's what I did. For the next three weeks, I avoided Midoriya like the plague. I knew he knew something was up, and I knew he thought he did something wrong. What I knew he didnt know, however, was that his girlfriend was crazy jealous. She watched me like a hawk, like a mental patient suffering from paranoia watches the other patients at a hospital, her eyes practically popping out of her skull with fury as she made sure that not only did I stay away from Midoriya, but that I didnt so even think about looking his way. Which I guess worked out fine for me. I didnt want to really see him because I knew he knew I liked him enough to get Hanahaki.

After a while, I guess Midoriya got fed up of me avoiding him, so one day after class he pulled me into the locker room, pinning me against the wall and locking the door. I was surprised by his bold move, unaware he'd do such a thing.

"Mido-"

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"Not your business." I sighed, turning my head away.

"Uhm, it sort of is. Please tell me. What did I do wrong?"

"I'm not avoiding you."

"Yes you are. Tell. Me. Why."

"Please stop, Midoriya. If Uraraka finds out that I spoke to you she'll literally stab me in my sleep."

I immediately realised what I said, clasping my hands to my mouth with wide eyes.

"What?" Deku asked. "Uraraka? What does she have to do with this?"

I sighed. There was no way out so I figured why not tell the truth, you know? I dug my hand into my pocket and pulled out the note Uraraka gave me three weeks prior. Deku took it, unfolding the thing and reading it. When he finished, he looked up at me, sadness in his eyes.

"So you stopped talking to me? Because of some petty note?" Deku asked.

"Its more than that. I was...embarrassed. I know you know I had a crush on you and it makes me uncomfortable around you. And I dont want to start some petty fight with a girl over a guy. That's selfish and not the behavior of a hero. I just dont want drama so I obeyed." I explained.

"I'm going to go talk to Ochaco." Deku said.

I grabbed his wrist, keeping him back.

"Dont. I dont want drama. I'm not selfish like that. Just...let me avoid you like she wants. She's happy knowing I'm out of the picture."

"Todoroki...why are you doing this? Sometimes its important to put yourself first. After what happened to you, you deserve it more than anything."

Deku yanked himself out of my grip, unlocking the door and leaving. I stood there, watching as he walked down the hall, a slight annoyance in his pace. I groaned, running my hands through my perfectly styled hair and sitting on the floor. After a few minutes, I got up, making the decision to go back to my dorm. As I walked down the hall and out the door, I felt embarrassed. I couldn't help it. As I walked down the UA campus, Uraraka stepped infront of me.

"I told you to stay away from him. Why did you tell him?" Uraraka asked angrily.

"He grabbed me and pulled me into the locker room where he begged the truth out of me."

"He dumped me because of you! I hate you! I hate you!" She cried, shoving me. "I'll kill you!"

She tried to punch me, but I dodged. She swung again and again, and by now people were gathering around to see what the hell was going on. Especially my classmates.

"Look, Uraraka, it's not my fault he dumped you. Please stop. I dont want to fight with you."

"You stupid gay faggot! It's all your fault!" She screamed. She kept throwing punches by I kept dodging.

"Stop it, please. I'm not fighting you."

"Well I'm fighting you!"

"What the hell is going on here!?" Deku demanded, stepping between us. I was surprised, and clearly Uraraka was too. "What the hell is wrong with you, Ochaco?! I didnt dump you because of or for Todoroki! I dumped you because you're a jealous bitch! You cant tell my friends to stay away from me just because they used to have a crush on me!"

The classmates around us gasped. I dont think anyone expected Deku to swear like that, but they rolled with it as the drama continued.

"Izuchan, I'm so sorry!" Uraraka begged.

"No, Ochaco. Sorry won't go back in time. I liked you because I thought you were kind, yet here you are calling Todoroki a faggot and getting all bitchy because you cant handle being dumped! This isnt heroic, Ochaco! This isnt what you're in the hero training course for! This isnt you!"

"Midoriya, it's fine. Dont worsen this situation more than you already have."

"I'm not worsening the situation, Todoroki."

"Midoriya this wouldnt have happened if you just accepted it and left it alone. You did not have to confront her. You did not have to dump her." I sighed. "She gave me a note and told me to back off. I did so because I didnt want this to happen. Stop pouring fuel on her flame."

"No, Todoroki this isnt fair! She cant just call you a faggot like that!"

"Midoriya, it's fine. It's not the first time I've been called that by someone who I care about. I'm used to it. And Uraraka, please forgive me for whatever you think I did." I said, pushing my way through the crowd. I hated drama and it was last thing I needed after everything that happened, what with the Hanahaki. I was so done.
