Jealousy

Chapter 4

Deku's POV

I was wrong.

It was bad.

First of all, when I got to school I couldn't even approach Shoto because of embarrassment. At recess, when he passed by me or tried to approach me I got flustered and I ignored him. Then last of all, Katsuki gave me weird looks. He looked constipated but what do I know.

"IZUKU!" Shoto yelled worriedly, trying to catch up to me.

I stayed there dumbfounded. My eyes went wide as he hugged me suddenly.

"I was worried! You were ignoring me all day!" he said.

Guilt flodded me and I averted my eyes to the floor, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I thought you hated me..." Shoto's voice trailed off at the end giving the impression that he strongly believed that.

Once those words were spoken I jolted my head up making eye contact with him. "I could never hate you..." I guiltily responded.

Shoto gave me the softest smile he gave in a while. We walked back to class forgetting about what went on between us right now and the day before. From an outsiders look we seemed like a cheerful couple, we weren't a couple. I wish we were but I'm still not ready for another relationship...

As the last lesson ended Shoto slipped me a paper with a question on it.

Hey Izu!
So, it's Friday and I was wondering if you'd be alright with me spending the night at yours. Maybe we could have fun, watch movies and maybe, just maybe, go beyond being 'just friends'.

Yes.                                                              No.

I quickly circled the 'yes' option and passed it back to him.

After School

I was sitting on my couch when I got a knock on my door.
