Chapter 9~ Breaking The Ice

The recap takes forever to do so imma just leave it out now

Y/N's POV
I dashed in through the classroom door, and leaned against the wall to catch my breath. I slowly felt my legs giving out, letting my back slide down the wall and my pole fell to the side. I placed my head on my knee and grasped my leg with my hands. I whimpered, because pain both emotional and physical tore at me. Shakily inhaling, I fought the overwhelming urge to cry.
Why do I always mess things up for both myself and other people I care about?
My lips slipped and a puckered sob escaped my mouth. I harshly closed my eyes and burrowed my face in my leg.
The door slowly slid open and someone crouched infront of me.
Two arms cradled my head, pressing me against their familiar warm body and their subtly musky scent of lavender flooded into me. I didn't need to guess who. I melted into the embrace and buried my head into the crook of their neck, lifting my hands up to shyly curl under their arms and place against their shoulder blades. The craving of their company had become so strong that I couldn't push them away anymore. I couldn't just pretend that we didn't know each other.
"Look at me, please." His voice came as a slightly raspy plead.
I lifted my head and looked at his glossy indigo eyes.
What could I say?
'I'm sorry' won't cut it. It'd be too late for apologies now.
I straightened my back so I was at his level, not breaking eye contact and placing my hands on his shoulders. A warm tear trickled down my face and dropped onto my hand.
"Can you talk to me...?" He whispered, nervous.
If I answered his question, what would happen? I figured out that he could make you do whatever he pleased once you answered him, but why hadn't he ever controlled me before? I pressed my forehead against his, closing my eyes and sniffing.
"If I do, what will you do?"
I knew that because he didn't use his quirk on me before, I knew that was why I was able to talk to him properly.
He held my chin with one of his hands, his thumb placed on my bottom lip.
"I haven't decided." He breathed out.

I had. I'd decided that I wanted him to to stay. I didn't want him to leave. I wanted to stay like this forever. I opened my eyes and stared into his.
"I have."
His other hand placed on my waist, he smiled and sighed nervously.
"Could you close your eyes for a second..?" He looked away.
I hesitantly did so, and his warm exhales right infront of my face. I swallowed, completely flustered.

Third Person's POV
He sighed and pressed his lips against hers briefly. The shorter girl tensed at the sudden action for a second, but then softened and kissed back. They just stayed like that for a moment, both not wanting to move away from each other, until the ringing bell warning late students that they had 5 minutes to get to class made them part. Y/n stared at him, completely in shock. He seems equally surprised, but stood up and grabbed his bag from the side of the doorframe and pulled her up with him. He squeezed her hand for comfort, before saying, "you should go first, no one will notice if one of us shows up late."
"A-Are you sure you don't mind being late?" She stuttered.
He shook his head and smiled. She missed that genuine smile, feeling the butterflies in her stomach flutter even more.

Once she started walking down the halls, not feeling his fingers intertwined with hers felt lonely. But she smiled to herself, knowing they broke they days of cold ice, and she began feeling all flustered again. She flexed her hand and the quiet sound of glass shattering was heard as her pole retracted back to her body, as she noticed the sprinkles of glass on the floor trailed back to her body aswell.
She walked into the classroom door, covering her pink face with her hair and shuffling into her seat.
As she sat down, she noticed a similarly quiet girl glancing at her from across the back row. Confused, she looked down and twiddled her thumbs, before looking up again to take a peek, and saw her smile softly at her before facing forwards again.
Hmm, she thought to herself.
That was...strange.
Hitoshi walked in just before the teacher did, making Y/n internally giggle, thinking that was a close call.

During class, a note was slid onto her desk by the person next to her. She opened it and it said:
Hello, it's me, my name is Suki.
The one who looked over at you, sorry if I scared you.
I know about you and Hitoshi, but don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone, I was just wondering...

Would you like to be friends?
