Tell me pretty lies
Look me in the face
Tell me that you love me
Even if it's fake

Chapter 10 - 'Nothing changed'

Day 42

It was about nighttime again and Izuku and I didn't talk about the previous night at all.

We didn't have the chance to spend time together through the day so we didn't talk much if not around dinner time and about the kid he was willing to help, I think he said Kota was his name. He seemed more concerned about the kid than anything else, that made me wonder if he was trying to avoid talking about the fact that I kissed him or if he just didn't care. Either way, I let him deal with whatever was going inside his head and stayed around Yaoyorozu most of the time even thought that lack of communication was starting to worry me.

Yaoyorozu didn't say a word about it but she seemed concerned about my feelings and even if I couldn't understand why she would be, I was somehow grateful that someone cared for me.

Most of the class was currently sat around the dining tables making a lot of noise as they talked and fought with the students of class 1-B. I couldn't bother with any of that, I hated how loud they could be, and I couldn't understand where they found all that energy after an entire day of training and testing our limits. I was honestly so worn out I could barely focus on anything, so I just decided to sit on the stairs at the entrance of the building to get some kind of peace.

It was stupid of me to think that my old man's trainings were hell.

Aizawa's ones were even worse, he was a monster!

I saw Izuku walk towards me to sit next to me with a sigh. I didn't bother to keep my gaze on him.

"What are you doing here alone Shōto?" - he said, probably glancing my way.

"They're being really loud" - I murmured keeping my gaze on the bunch of teenagers in front of us. Why Bakugou was about to blow Kaminari's face for the thousandth time?

"I understand, is it ok if I stay here with you?" - he asked. I looked at him and nodded before resting my head against the wall.

"Did you figure out what to do with the boy?" - I asked. It might have seemed like I was just trying to avoid the silence, but I was honestly interested; everything concerning Izuku interested me. That was weird and kinda creepy to be honest, but it was how things were now. I couldn't remember the exact moment I started caring so much about him, but I know for a fact that the moment I realized my feelings were getting stronger, it was already too late to stop myself from falling for him.

"Kota? No, but you're right I should stop sticking my nose into someone's else business" - he mumbled playing with a little twig he picked from the ground.

"I didn't mean to offend you. If anything, I'm glad you tried to help me but I know you and you tend to just walk in and break everything. I just think that it's not always going to work out fine. Feelings are complicated."

"It's fine, I just wish I knew how to help him" - he said scooting nearer and resting his head on my shoulder with a sigh.

"I'm sure you'll find a way" - I said earning just a hum from him. We kept silent for a while; it was comfortable though, just sitting together watching time pass by in front of us.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" - Izuku said. I glanced down at him, he was watching the stars as his head rested on my shoulder. I felt like that was romantic and too intimate for two friends to do, but I knew nothing about friendship, so I didn't comment on it and just enjoyed the moment.
