Chapter 37 - Heaven

So come on, won't you give me something to remember?
Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out.
Even though we couldn't last forever, baby
you know what I want right now.
Hit me one more time it's so amazing,
how you shooked my world and flipped it upside down.

Chapter 37 - 'Heaven'

TODOROKI's POV

DAY 423

Izuku smiled shyly from across the room momentarily ignoring Aoyama. I bit onto my lower lip and turned back to Momo and even if I couldn't really focus on whatever she was saying, I tried to, just to avoid staring at Izuku like a creep. He had stopped trying to talk to me and even though that was what I said I wanted him to do and forced myself to believe in, it was a huge lie. In a way I wished he wouldn't have given up on me, maybe I would have forgiven him eventually.

"Stop checking him out and come dance with me!" - Momo said grabbing my hand and trying to pull me away from the wall I was leaning on.

"You know that I don't dance. And I wasn't checking him out..." - I said lowering my voice by the end of the phrase avoiding eye contact.

"Yeah, you sure weren't..." - she chuckled before leaving me alone to join Ashido and Jirō a few meters away.

I glanced one last time at Midoriya noticing he was now talking animatedly with Bakugō.
With a sigh, I turned away and tried to focus onto something else, desperately trying not to mind the skinny jeans he was wearing. I couldn't remember seeing him in anything else than regular jeans and sweatpants, so that was new, and it somehow bothered me.

Anyway, Momo seemed to be having the time of her life; I had no clue if she had a drink or not, but I was sure I've never seen her so happy and careless as in that moment as she danced with Jirō and Ashido. I sighed and kept watching them having fun as I just stood in a corner with my back against the wall.
I was glad she had no worries like that, and I somehow wished she'd just confess to Jirō and finally date her. It was frustrating watching them act like a couple and deny it; especially Jirō whom I heard say more than once that they were only friends.

"Is she drunk?" - Izuku's voice recalled my attention.
I glanced at him standing next to me, he was holding a blue cup in his hand and smiled up at me with rosy cheeks. I had no clue when he got there; I should have paid more attention to my surrounding.

"I don't think I saw her drink anything but water..." - I mumbled.

He giggled a bit and rested against the wall next to me with a light sigh.

"Maybe it wasn't water. You know, Denki is...well he always finds a way to sneak alcohol in the dorms." - he said. I could see him nervously fidgeting with the edge of his cup with the corner of my eyes.

"Why are you talking to me now?"

"Because why not?" - he said with a little shrug.

"You've been ignoring me for a while, thought you finally gave up..."

He adverted his glance to the floor, and he seemed to frown a bit before letting out a something that resembled both a sigh and giggle.

"Are you drunk?" - I asked him while watching Jirō say something in Ashido's hear as Momo was a few meters away trying to convince Miyako to join them.

"No, why?"

"Don't know, you're weird and your cheeks are red" - I stated watching Miyako laugh as Momo physically dragged her to dance with the other girls. At least they finally seemed to get along well.
