Chapter 27

(A/N- play song before reading (if you want to) )

Shit

Momo Yaoyorozu isn't one to swear, even in her head. But this time, this time, she simply couldn't help it.

Oh no no no no! This can't be happening! Oh lord! Why did I even say that. The wrong place and wrong time and wrong everything and Shouto looks.............different?

Shouto Todoroki was indeed caught off guard. He certainly did harbor feelings for this girl, really strong feelings, so much so that he struggled to reply.

He blinked at her for a few seconds, the greenhouse in stunned silence.

Then slowly the rain started to pour, the glass windows began to fog up and the only noise besides the raindrops were the gentle rustle of the plants.

Momo looked at him.

Should I just apologize and leave?

"Hey Shouto, it's fine, I'll be leaving now. Sorry for all this." Momo managed to let out and stood up, giving him a small smile.

For some reason she was mad at the weather today, why did it have to reflect her tears that she desperately tried to hold back.

Great, just great Momo. You ruined it. The first ever friendship you've ever created with someone is ruined. And it's all because of your rashness and foolishness.

"Wait." Shouto grabbed her hand and stood up, looking down at her.

She's so beautiful

"I'm just so happy, that you, that you share the same feelings I do." He paused, enjoying the flustered look that grew on Momo's face,

"You know, I've never caught feelings for anyone, just seen it happen a few times on tv and in high school. So when I started experiencing these weird feelings around you, I was quite confused and asked Midoriya about it and he said, that I probably have a crush on you. I didn't know how to react really and I thought of putting these emotions aside and focus on UA but, but you wouldn't let me." Shouto softly chuckled, before continuing,

"I grew fond of you more and more with each passing day and I just wanted to be with you. I wanted to to talk to you. Spend my time with you. I wanted to help you. I started to understand the gravity of how important you were to me and just couldn't get you out of my head. And then I liked it when we had our conversations and when we went to Peaches and the bakery and the bookshop together." He paused again, looking down now,

"I liked it when you comforted me, when you spoke to me, when you held my hand and when you hugged me. I wanted to hold your hand, I wanted to hug you and I-" He looked at her, his heterochromatic eyes gazing deep into her onyx ones,

"I wanted to kiss you, I still do."

The second stunned silence for the day, filled the room.

Momo by this point had simply stopped working and Shouto was blushing, a lot.

"Momo I-" He brought his hand to her jaw, his thumb brushing it gently.

She slowly moved closer. Her heat beating just as rapidly as his.

Her eyes drifted up to meet his.
