This was on a whole new level. This feeling had everything. It made him scared, excited, anxious, sad, tempted, whole, and still made him feel empty, while he saw the girl moving closer. His instinct was to turn his face away, but he didn't want to hurt her more than she already was, so he just accepted her kiss, trying to control himself, imagining that this could actually hurt her more than a refusal. After a few seconds, he slightly pushed her, narrowing his eyes with a concerned expression:
"Momo- What are you doing?"
Her face was completely red, but her eyes still looked lost.
"I- I don't know." She whispered, not meeting his eyes, leaning as if going for another kiss, but he stopped her advance, holding her shoulders while looking deep into her eyes.
"Not like this."
"..."
She sighed while turning, and sat again, becoming silent for some time until she finally said:
"Hahaha... I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I'm a complete mess right now- I just- I don't think I can learn how not to feel, Midoriya-kun. Everything inside my head is confused. I don't think I'm strong enough to overlook all of these feelings. I don't think I can become strong like you."
Midoriya sighed and thought about those words. He sat next to her and scratched his forehead.
She understood it all wrong.
"You're wrong, Momo. What I do is the opposite of being strong. I'm not strong at all. I'm just a coward, a coward who chose to turn his back on his own feelings instead of facing them, and this is not a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness, but it's the weakness I chose to embrace so I could go on. It doesn't have to be the same for you."
She just became silent for some time and then whispered:
"My head hurts."
"Well, you did some major effort tonight, and even though my Lazarus healed your body, your mental stress is still there, so for now you should rest before you break down again."
"What about them? You're going to help them, aren't you? Please, Midoriya-kun... I know we are not in good terms, but I'll beg if I have to-"
"You don't need to beg, Momo. I'm still irritated with you for not trusting me after everything we went through, but I see that I was wrong. Even when I thought we weren't friends anymore, you never stopped seeing me as one."
"I hadn't, and I never wanted to make them hurt you... All I wanted was to see your old self again, although I understand why he's not around anymore- Wait, I thought you didn't believe me-"
"Raiju showed me your memories from that night."
"Oh, so you didn't actually believe in me after all. You needed proof." She said while looking down.
Midoriya sighed before lying down on his back, looking towards the sky.
"Let me explain this to you. There are only two people in the entire world that I trust with my life right now: My mother, and Yami, because I know that no matter what happens, they would still be on my side."
"..."
"Would you be on my side if you saw me doing something shady without any explanation from my part?" He asked, slightly moving his head towards her.
"I don't believe that any of them would-"
"They already did."
