"You can't just..! I can't! I mean...Why do I have to—?!" She floundered at his demand.

This lasted longer than he was willing to wait, so he tried rushing her. "What's the matter?! Spit it all out already!"

"Y-Yes, I like you, and I don't mind repeating it...But you're forcing me to list the reasons out of nowhere....it's not good for my heart to keep confessing to you all in one day, you know!"

"I thought you wanted to help me get out of this mess; stop stalling."

'Jeez, even when it's his turn to say how he feels, he puts up a fight. It's a little bit cute.....What are the things I like the most about Katsuki? I know there's plenty, but saying them out loud is pretty embarrassing.......'

[____] sighed, going off the top of her head. "I like your spiky hair and your angry eyes. The expressions you make when you're annoyed or upset. Your smile...You don't show it often and even when you do it just to mock me or the others, it's very pretty..."

"All I'm hearing is that you like how I look. Is that all there is?"

"N-No! There's so much more! But it's true that your appearance is the first thing that comes to my mind..."

'You can't blame me, though. Your personality isn't really that great...' [____] finished her sentence silently, to avoid conflict.

Bakugo furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, not believing her. "....I see now, if I end up with a girl like you, you'll just leave me for some dumbass who catches your attention, the very next day."

"No, never!" She took a step back and waved her hands around defensively. "If we date, I promise to never look at other guys in that sort of way.. I don't even do that, right now!"

"Dating?" Katsuki wasn't thinking that far ahead into their future. He was only trying to get his fever to go down as soon as possible. "Is that what you wanna do?"

[____] fell silent; 'I don't think he's ever gone out with anybody, either...What kind of girl would be able to put up with his attitude? I kind of want to run every time he looks my way...And yet here I am, trying to be more than 'just friends' with him...'

The blond rolled his eyes at the idea of being her boyfriend. "If you're thinking that I'm going to be doing all of that mushy crap with you, then you're getting way over your head."

'Ahh, he means it, if he says it right now... Could that be the truth he needs to tell me? I'm about to get terribly rejected, aren't I..?'

[____] bit her bottom lip softly. "I don't expect you to be different than who you are...It's hard to see you in another light... That's why, if you're going to reject me, then just do it already so you could go back to normal."

'I get it now...He only wanted me to confess again, so he could tell me that I'm not his type... Katsuki really is the worst, isn't he? Whatever...I'll just hear him out, if it's for his sake...'

Bakugo hadn't said a word, he was still trying to figure out how to properly return her feelings without sounding too much like a loser.

'I still like him...and I want him to like me back, somehow...I can already feel my eyes getting watery. I'm about to cry, I want to hold it in but I can't...'

"Fuck; what a pain!!" He was very familiar with the pained look [____] was giving him. "I'll tell you, but you need to stop crying."

"I'm...not crying." She sobbed.

"Yeah, you are. Quit pretending and come here." He opened his arms with just a little bit of effort, inviting her for a hug in his own way.

[____] took her chance, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Katsuki! I just don't want you to stop being my friend! Please don't kick me out of your team— Don't partner up with someone else for the exams, either! I'll work harder. I'll stop crying, I'll stop being annoying to you. Please..."

"...Cute."

'Just now— Did I hear him right...?' [____] stopped talking and wished for him to repeat whatever he just said.

To her luck; that's what he was planning on doing. "You're cute, alright?! So annoying, but still pretty fucking cute."

He mumbled the last part, which made the girl loosened her arms to give each other enough space while still hugging. 'Not a rejection?! What's happening!?'

"Katsuki...You feel the same way?!"

"I'm never gonna say this again— So listen carefully...When you're like this, it just makes me want to hold you and hurt whoever or whatever made you cry. Even though I know it's me...It is me, isn't it?

I'm the person you should be disliking, the most. I know it, yet you claim to feel the opposite...It's all so fucking confusing to me.

As kids, I only thought of you as a nuisance, coming into my house all high and mighty, like if you knew us...I wanted to show you that we weren't equals, and to not get any ideas in your head about us becoming friends. Then, Deku had to go in and meddle, it was so annoying how you two tried protecting each other.

Back then, I kept thinking 'maybe she likes him' and I was alright with that. But then, that day...I saw you cry for the first time ever. You were crying so much I could even see your nose running with mucus and it was pretty fucking disgusting, by the way—"

"Ah! You don't have to remember that part so vividly!!" [____] interrupted his confession.

"Shut up; and yes I do. Because it was then when I started to doubt my sense of justice. I wasn't able to come up with an explanation as to why I couldn't stop thinking about you when I saw you again. You were still kind to me, smiling at me, offering me something despite how much I made you cry that one time...It's annoying, feeling this way about you..."

"Whoa, so honest..." [____] could feel like she was going to cry again, but this time out of happiness after finally hearing the truth. "Katsuki! Is that really how things are?! Because, then we could— Ow!"

She slapped his hands out of her way and finally let go off him after he pinched both of her cheeks to make her stop talking. "Don't act so happy. I'm still not going to ask you out. Relationships are just a waste of time, I have no interest in that type of thing."

"I figured..." [____] took in a deep breath. "Still! I'm going to work hard so that you will notice it and fall for me! I'll prove to you what a great girlfriend I'll be."

He smirked at her sudden ripple of confidence. "You're still trying to go after me, even though you heard what I just said?"

"I don't really understand why, either...But I know its only you, who I feel so strong for, and nobody else. So I'm going to give it my all!"

"Bring it on, fat cheeks. You can't make me change my mind." His everlasting headache was finally starting to fade. Katsuki could feel his energy coming back to him, the more [____] spoke about their future relationship.

The girl was able to catch his insult as a good sign of Kaito's quirk leaving his body. "Katsuki! You're back!!"

"Hey; get off me!" He tried peeling [____] away from him without using a lot of strength. "You opened a portal without knowing where we'll land, didn't you? I want to go home already."

[____] stopped trying to hold him since he didn't seem to be in the mood, so instead she pulled out her cellphone from her pocket to check their location. "I'm not sure where we ended up...But I think I can figure this out..."

Katsuki crossed his arms and waited until she was done searching for something. "We're on top of a place called 'SARA SWEET', it seems like..."

As she looked more into it; Katsuki had the idea to tease her. "How bold of you. Admitting your feelings for me, then taking me to the rooftop of a shitty love hotel, right after."

"I didn't do it on purpose!! My mind was kind of foggy, I couldn't focus enough when I used my quirk!" [____] locked her cell phone screen after finding out why there were so many hearts in the sign of the hotel. "Also— You admitted into liking me back!"

"Hah? I don't remember saying that."

"You didn't use those words, exactly...But it happened..."

"Quit dreaming. Get us out of here."

'So he's just going to pretend like it didn't...Okay! I can play along, too!'

[____] opened up a portal, upset at herself for believing that he was going to stay being kind even after the quirk disappeared. "This portal should take you home."

Bakugo raised an eyebrow at her, "What about you?"

"So you care about where I go?" Her eyes lit up, getting her hopes as high as they were one more time.

"Fuck no." He entered the portal without saying anything else, and [____] closed it right after.

"You jerk...You're just gonna make it easier for me to move on if you keep acting like this..."

She got a text, at the same time she said it.

"Then again...You can be kind of sweet, too..."

🌸🌸the next morning🌸🌸

"Hhgh...Who's calling me at four am..?" [____] groaned after being woken up by the default iPhone ringtone. She yawned before answering, her eyes flinching at the bright screen next to her cheek. "Hello...?"

"Wake the hell up. We're going for a run."

"Katsuki..?" Her eyes, then, opened in an instinct as soon after hearing his voice. "We're gonna start training, already? At this hour?!"

"If we don't start now, then you'll never be strong enough. Now, come outside, I'm standing right in front of your fucking house. If I don't see you in ten minutes I'm blasting this door open and I'll find your perverted dog to kill him."

"M-My perverted dog... Hideaki?!" The fact that she knew who he was talking about gave her the courage to get out of bed, to save someone's life. "Alright! I'll be down in a bit!"

"Hurry up!! If you make me wait long, I'll kill you too!!" He hung up right after saying that.

"It's nice to know that he's back to his usual self so fast, at least..." She stretched her arms, yawning a few more times. "I guess all he needed was a few hours of sleep to feel better...Now, I should probably find something comfortable to wear for a jog at this time of day..."
