Izuocha 《 One Shots 》

6 ■ The Coat

"Tsu!"

"Oh, hello Deku. H-how has your day been?" Tsuyu said, freezing in the cold.

It was winter yet again at U.A. The freezing air made for a nasty frostbite, and Tsuyu was getting the worst of it.

"Uh... you seem pretty cold. You can have my sweater if you want! My powers can heat me up enough."

"A-are you sure? Ribbit." She stumbled over her words, almost falling into hibernation.

Deku gently wrapped his arms around her, and let her have the winter coat.

"You're welcome!" Deku said with a smile, running off to class.

But someone had gotten the wrong idea.

...

"Hey, Uraraka!" Deku went up to hug her as usual for the couple, but was greeted with a harsh stare.

"Uhm... is something wrong? I can get you mochi-"

"No. Don't. I know what you did." Uraraka said, holding back tears.

Deku had been very confused and concerned, as the rest of the class was. Had something happened at home? Everyone was at a loss of words in that moment.

"Ok, sit down, sit down. Let's get ready for today's lesson." Aizawa said, rounding up the future superheros.

After class, Deku went up to Uraraka, and tried to ask her what had happened.

"Hey Uraraka, why are you so mad at me?"

Uraraka simply left without speaking.

"Oh god... what did I do? I can't think about that right now, I have to start training with All Might again." Deku sighed, knowing she was going to keep him up all night after training.

                                          ...

"Midoriya. Midoriya? Hello? Snap out of it!" All Might flicked his fingers at Deku.

"Oh! I'm so sorry sir! I'll do better!" Deku stood up straight, and started hia leg practices yet again.

"Something seems.... off with you today."

"Oh! Oh it's nothing! I promise sir!"

All Might gave Deku a "yeah sure there isn't a problem" look.

"...Fine."

Deku explained the entire situation to All Might, and both of them stood in silence for a couple minutes, thinking.

"Have you done anything with... another girl recently?"

"WHAT! No! I swear on All For One!"

They both stood in silence for another minute, before Deku finally figured out what had happened.

"...Oh."

"Did you figure anything out, Midoriya-"

"Sorry All Might! We will continue practicing tomorrow, for longer, ok?" Deku yelled, running into the distance.

"That kid."

                                         ...

"Tsu! Hello?"

"Ribbit. Hi Midoriya! Here is your coat back. Thanks again."

"No problem. But... could you tell Uraraka something for me? She won't talk to me."

"What is it, ribbit?" Tsu cocked her head sideways.

"Uraraka thinks I'm cheating on her with you." Deku straight up said it as fast as he could.

Tsu widend her eyes, and gasped a little. "Well, how do I fix it? You and her are inseparable!"

"Could you please, please tell her that I am not doing anything with you, and that it was just to help you?" Deku was still very red from the entire problem.

"Sure thing, ribbit!"

                                         ...

Deku waited patiently inside his room, tapping his foot anxiously. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and went to open it.

"Hi." He opened the door slowly, not knowing who would come in.

The door bursts open, and out comes a short brown haired girl completely blushing incoherently.

"I'm reallyreallyreallyreallyreally sorry!" Uraraka looks down at the floor, peeking up to see his reaction.

"Come here." Deku smiles lightly, asking for a hug with his arms.

Both of them sit there in the middle of his room, both red but smiling.

"You are so dumb." Deku chuckles, running his hands through her hair.
