Is This It Then?

"Hey Hagakure-san, can we talk?"

Toru knew exactly what was about to happen. She had asked Sero to call her by her first name, which he had done for the six weeks since he asked her out, but from his solemn tone of voice she knew something was not right. It was two days after Ochako had confessed her feelings for Todoroki to the girls, nothing too eventful had occurred since then (if you don't count Bakugo almost blowing up the kitchen because somebody had finished the chilli powder). However, for Toru, she felt that her relationship with Sero was fading. They had been talking less, hanging out after classes less; until he had approached her he hadn't spoken to her at all that day.

"S-sure, Sero-kun..." Toru replied shakily.

She didn't want to break up with Sero; she really liked him, and enjoyed his company. Yet the more time they spent apart made her feel like their relationship was crumbling.

"So, Hagakure-san, this might sound sudden, but I don't know if this is going to work any more..."

"Are you saying we're breaking up?" Toru asked. Her lip was starting to quiver, and she could feel a lump starting to form in her throat.

"If we were to put it bluntly, yes. Sorry..." Sero replied with a sad smile.

"But why? I thought we were going okay?" Toru cried. 'No we weren't' she thought 'I know something like this was going to happen soon, but I don't want this to end, not right now!'

"Well, lately I feel like we've been growing distant and we haven't been talking much, even if it's over text. Sure, we are getting a lot more work with school, and I'm not trying to discredit you at all, I think you're an amazing girl. I just don't know if this is what's right for us any more..."

"But I really like you, Sero! I don't want this to be over! It's been six weeks, maybe we-"

"No Toru, I don't think that this will go anywhere from here. I mean, come on, we haven't even kissed? I think you're really cool, but I think the spark that we had six weeks ago has gone. I'm sorry." Sero said, interrupting Toru.

As it dawned on her that she had just been dumped, Toru burst off in the direction of the elevator, as tears escaped her eyes and landed on the carpet of the common room. She spammed the up button to call the lift, the quicker she could escape to her room the better. When the cliché 'ding' of the elevator arriving was heard, she rushed through the doors without looking, only to bump into and fall on top of...

"Ojiro?"
