"Now I think of all the times we shared.
Now I wonder where you are,
and if you'll play.
Come knocking at my door.
And I wonder, will our roads cross
someday?
Best friends forevermore."

[ MIDORIYA X FEM!OC...
[this is before Uraraka starts crushing on Izuku, so she has no issue talking girl problems with him.]

"Deku, are you okay?" Uraraka asks, tilting her head to the side. Yesterday was their day off from the Sports Festival, so she didn't have a clue why he was seemingly asleep today.
He groans in response.
"Oh no, where's the Deku translator?!" Ochako screeches dramatically.
"You're the Deku translator." Katsuki grits, wanting to plug his ears with pencils.
"Oh, right. So that," she imitates his groan, "means that you're upset and don't know what to do about something that just recently happened."
Izuku opens his eyes, staring down at his lap. Right on, Uraraka. "Yeah..."
The brunette turns to the blond, "Bakugo, get out your seat."
"Excuse me?"
"I said move. I have to talk to Deku."
"First of all, who the fuck do you think you are? Second of all, sit in Mineta's chair."
"Ew, no. C'mon, it'll only be a few minutes."
Izuku lifts his head. "It's not that important, Uraraka."
Suddenly, Bakugo get's up from his seat, "Make it snappy." He really does not want to deal with Moody Midoriya.
"What changed his mind?" Uraraka mumbles, twisting Bakugo's seat around and sitting in it. "Okay, therapist Uraraka Ochako is in business. What's bothering you today?"
"Confession gone wrong."
"Confession gon—" Uraraka gets over the shock fairly quickly, "The five Ws! Who? What? When? Where? Why?"
"Middle school friend, one-sided crush, last night, my apartment, I'm stupid."
"Gee, I had no idea you liked anyone!" Uraraka exclaims, tilting her head slightly.
Izuku nods slowly, then says, "She doesn't go to school here."
"Oh. So, she went over for something?"
"We haven't spoken in a little bit, so she came over to hang out to make it up to me, I guess... she's got a crush on this guy in her school, and I suppose I was jealous about it... and I was already upset that she'd practically ghosted me. And then she started bothering me about asking y—" Izuku pauses, "uh, someone from here out. It added fuel to the flame and I just blurted it out."
"I'm assuming she reacted bad."
"We both did, honestly. I started trying to backtrack and she just stayed completely quiet before saying she had to leave. Then she texted me later on that..."
"It'd be best you guys didn't talk anymore, right? That sucks." She slouches slightly, "People like that irk me. Like, I get if you don't like them back but you don't have to completely cut off a good friendship."
"I guess our friendship wasn't good enough. The fact that I got rejected isn't as bad as the fact that she decided some stupid crush was enough to end our bond. She'd been my friend since grade five. My only friend, really. Until I met you and Iida and everyone else, that is. It just... sucks."
"Yeah... well, I suppose it's best to have ended it now. Because if she could've dropped everything you two had so easily, she isn't worth anymore of your time or feelings." Ochako says, lightly patting Izuku's hand. They look at each other and smile gently.
"You're right. For now, I just gotta move on, right?"
"Yup! And hey, remember that you always have me and Iida no matter what! I'll always be here for you, Deku."
