Chapter 4 - Rekindling a Flame

"Stop saying rude things about her. She's with Deku because she lost her mom last night."

My eyes widened with shock, I turned around and looked at her, "You know you shouldn't just go around saying stuff like that!"

"I'm not! It's the truth! I thought maybe if you heard it you'd put someone else before yourself for once." Uraraka turned and left.

I stood there and clenched my fists and teeth. Tears sprung to my eyes yet I didn't know why. I quickly wiped them away and went to my dorm, waiting for the return of Deku and Suki.

~~~~~SUKI'S POV~~~~~

Izuku and I left the cafe around noonish and decided to walk through the city. I was still lost in the depths of my mind. What did I do to deserve this? I lost everything so fast and when I finally thought things were sort of turning around, my mom died.

I missed Kacchan...and I wanted to spend time with him, but what if he was just using me? What if he wanted something from me and was pretending to want to be friends again? I wish he was here...I desperately wanted to be reassured by him that that wasn't the case; that he really did care about me. I wanted to be hugged. I wanted to hold his hand. I wanted us to be close like we were before our third year of elementary school.

"You should really get out of your head and stop worrying..." Izuku said to me.

I looked at him, "Sorry...I have a-"

"Don't apologize, you're just worrying me. Are you gonna be okay?"

"I'll be fine." I smiled, "How about we go and get some candy?"

"Sure!" Izuku smiled.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him away to the nearest shop that had candy.

LATER

Everything went great. Izuku and I got our candy then we went window shopping.

Now we were walking back to the dorms. The sun was setting, turning the sky pink and orange.

"I love sunsets." I smiled. They reminded me of a time when I had an actual family. They were synchronized with color to make something so beautiful and breathtaking. When it went away you were still left with beauty.

"Yea, they're nice." Izuku smiled too.

We reached the dorms.

"I can walk you to your dorm if you want." Izuku offered.

"No it's fine. I'll go by myself. Thanks Izuku." I smiled and left.

While I was walking to my dorm room I ventured back into my thoughts. Did Kacchan really still care about me? After years of bullying? I tried to hate him and it came off like I did. But the truth was I just wanted my old friend back. I wanted us to be close again. I sighed. 'I could never hate him...'

"Hey."

I looked up and saw Katsuki, "Oh...hey Katsuki."

"I heard about what happened last night...."

"Oh...Yea..." I looked away.

"If you want, you can stay at my place. My parents haven't seen you in awhile. I'm sure they won't mind."

"I don't know Kacchan...Izuku already offered. I'm probably better off over there..."

"You're always with that idiot." He scoffed, "What if I wanna spend time with you? What if I miss you?"
