Time was passing by and the more it did, the more Midoriya noticed that he had started developing a strange behavior.

He was always careful to Bakugo's habits and preferences. If he heard his name be mentioned somewhere, Izuku's head would perk up and listen in. He blushed constantly when talking to him and even just talking about him.

He loved looking at his back during class, watching him as he wrote things down on his notebook or he doodled some stuff whenever he was bored.

His spikey blond hair and his strong yet also soft profile being the thing he concentrated the most on.

In fact, very often he got distracted during lessons, having to ask Iida for the notes that he couldn't take because he was too occupied mentally pinning down every single detail about Bakugo's face and behaviors during class.

No one really seemed to notice or to give that much attention Midoriya's behavior, except for his friends.

Uraraka, Iida and Todoroki in particular had taken notice of all of this and they were worried that the incident with the quirk might have resulted in something changing in him.

One afternoon, after class, while Midoriya was training with Bakugo, the 3 reunited in the living room to discuss about the topic.

<I'm worried for Deku-kun...> Uraraka whispered, a worried tone in her voice.
<Me too.> Iida and Todoroki added, talking at the same time.

<I mean... Midoriya-kun never acted this way before...> Iida then said, adjusting nervously his glasses.
<Yeah... And it's weird, it seems to happen whenever we mention-> Todoroki continued, stopping his sentence abruptly and then whispering:
<Bakugo...>

Everyone nodded, also looking around making sure no one was listening in or that Midoriya heard them.
<Why would he act so weird around him?> Uraraka asked, making the other 2 think.

<Well, isn't it clear? Midoriya has a crush on Bakugo, cra.>
Tsuyu's voice reached them from behind, making them jump and think When did she get here?! There was no one here before?

<What? Aren't you talking about Midoriya's strange behavior?> she added, sitting down beside them.
<I wouldn't be so worried about him... It's just a crush... But, I think he's an airhead just as you are, so he doesn't even know himself!> she concluded, looking at the group, still in shock.

Uraraka shook her head and then said:
<You're right! Agh, how come we didn't think about it before?!> she exclaimed, crossing her arms.
<Well... I think we should watch closely over him. We may never know what could happen.> Todoroki said, looking towards the door of the dorms.

<Yes, you're right Todoroki-kun. Are you joining us too, Tsuyu-chan? After all you helped us figure this out!> Iida proposed, smiling.
The greenette smiled back and said:
<Of course, he's my friend too and the more the better, cra.>
<Perfect! All right then... Let's see how we're going to plan this.> Uraraka exclaimed, a determined glare in her eyes and smiling fiercely.

They decided that, on turns, they were going to try and spend some time with Midoriya without Bakugo, so that maybe he could realize his feelings and open up a little more about it.

Izuku didn't really seem to notice this at first and for a while he just thought that hanging out a little bit more with his friends could've helped him understand what was wrong with him.
