IT'S COMPLICATED (An Izuocha Story)

"CONFESSION"

"The girls and I need to talk you about something..."

"Sure! What is it about?" She asked

"It's about Midoriya, Ochako" Mina replied "Are you two okay?"

"Of course Mina!" She assured waving her hands

"It sure didn't look like it... You didn't even greet him" Jirou pointed out "Is there something wrong?"

"What's the matter Ochako? You can tell us" Hagakure asked

"Seriously Ochako kero, are you and Bakugo a thing now ribbit" Tsu asked not sugar coating it whatsoever

"What?! What makes you say that Tsu?" Ochako felt a bit embarrassed by her friend's assumptions "We're just friends!"

"Sorry Ochako, its just you haven't visited Midoriya before he woke up plus you were avoiding him" Hagakure asked "And seeing you and Bakugo earlier kind of makes it hard not to assume something"

Ochako remained silent for a moment "You got it all wrong... It's not about Bakugo..." she calmly stated

"You should tell that to Midoriya" Mina asked

"What do you mean?"

"Ochako" Tsu uttered "He saw the two of you earlier... when Bakugo approached to greet him, Midoriya kind of congratulated him"

"He's kind of under the impression just like us that you and Bakugo are dating now" Momo stated

"What? Why we're not..."

"Ochako if there's something bothering you... You can tell us... Why are you being so distant to Midoriya" Jirou asked

"That's enough you guys, if Ochako doesn't want to say it we shouldn't force her" Momo declared

"No it's okay Momo... I guess there's no point in trying to hide it right?"She faintly smiled, and confesses everything that took place

"You know that time when Toga attacked me right?... She was actually taking revenge on Deku for her friends in the league..."

"S-she wanted to kill me to make him suffer... At first it didn't make any sense to me..." She began to recall Toga's words once more "if I kill you... it'll kill him more... isn't that romantic"

She told me that Deku might have feelings for me... That it would be his weakness... if that's true... I don't want him to get hurt because of me..." a tear streamed down in her face...

"That's why... I just want to ignore this feelings again, and ignore him... so it wouldn't get in the way of our responsibility as heroes, especially for Deku..."

"After what happened to him even imagining him getting hurt again is too much for me..."

"So for both of our sake I should just keep this away... " She couldn't keep it from herself anymore, she had to let all her tears out

The girls were speechless at first, all they did was comfort their friend... They didn't know how much her encounter with Toga had affected her.

"I'm sorry Ochako..." Momo muttered giving her friend a tight hug

"Ochako... don't believe on what Toga said" Mina refuted "You shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness just because she said so..." She added

"I know both of you, you've always fought together and supported each other... and all the time you win together" Mina muttered "I know I always wanted to push the two of you together but that's because I felt how strong your connection is with him"

"I-I don't know Mina..."

"Just talk to him Ochako..." Mina insisted "A friendly conversation wouldn't hurt much right?" She smiled
