Deku's POV
I cried the rest of the night. I didn't understand what happened. We were doing well together and I could tell he was changing.
I told uraraka the next morning before class that I wouldn't be going to the dance. I didn't tell her what happened but I figured she would find out after the dance.
"If you change your mind, just know your always welcome to join us." She smiled trying to make me feel better. "Thanks uraraka." I smiled faintly and walked to class with her. Suddenly kirishima ran up behind me yelling my name. "Hey Midoriya!!" Kiri flashes his shark teeth as he caught up to me. "Hey kiri..." I mumbled not making eye contact with him. Kirishima gave me a worried look. " well uh Mina and I wanted to ask if you and bakugo wanted to come to the dance with us!!" He smiled putting his hand on my shoulder. I felt bad breaking the news to him since he seemed so excited about it.
"Uh actually We're not going to the dance..." I frowned.
"What?! Did something happen with you guys?!" He looked worried. I mean it's not normal for me to miss school events, so It made sense why he would think something was wrong. "N-no he just doesn't want to go, everything's ok though." I talked softly still not making eye contact.
"That's not very manly of bakugo, well sorry about that man, If you change your mind though don't be afraid to ask."
Bakugo's POV
As I saw deku enter class I noticed he looked exhausted. His eyes were puffy and he kept a frown on his dumb face all day.
Shit...
After class shitty hair came up to me and pulled me into an empty hallway. "What the hell do you want shitty hair!" I growled angrily. "Dude why aren't you going to the dance?!"
I rolled my eyes. "I hate parties, and the nerds going anyways so it doesn't matter if I go."
I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall. "Bakubro, he's not going." He frowned.
" I asked him to come with Mina and I but he turned us down."
"WHAT?! that shitty nerd isn't even going?! What the hell?!"
I suddenly realized
"That nerd really didn't want to go with anyone else but me...."
"Shit, I fucked up big time.." I groaned, putting my hands on my head.
"Hey I know why you did this, I can understand too."
"I was scared Mina wouldn't want to go with me since she has so many cool friends she could go with instead, so just make it right dude" shitty hair put his hand on my shoulder. "Whatever, Its not like I fucking needed advise."
Dumb hair knew that was my way of thanking him.
-Time skip-
I went to deku's dorm after curfew, using the spare key he gave me, but he wasn't there. "He stayed in someone else's dorm just to get away from me?!" I growled from frustration and went back to my room.
Deku's POV
I knocked on todoroki's door. He opened it and was shocked to see me in front of him. "M-Midoriya, what are you doing here, does bakugo know where you are?!"
He looked concerned. "N-no but C-can I stay in your dorm for the night?? I can't let him find me and he won't know where I am if I'm here."
Todoroki sighed and let me in.
"So uh, why are you hiding from bakugo??" He sounded concerned. I told him everything that happened the other night and he was really sweet about it. Even though what I did to him was horrible, he still treated me with the same respect. "Hey you should stay in your dorm tomorrow, the whole day is focused on the dance so you should catch up on some sleep instead , I'll cover for you."
I smiled thankfully.
"you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor, you need to get a good rest." He put down a blanket on the floor.
"T-todoroki I was the one who barged in you should sleep on your bed."
I kept arguing but he insisted I slept in his bed. As I got comfortable, I realized how lucky I was to have todoroki as a friend. I was surprised he still treated me with kindness after what I did. The next morning I went back to my dorm and caught up with my sleep.
Bakugo's POV
Deku didn't show up to class. Was he really avoiding me?! I need to apologize to him! Right after class I went to talk to shitty hair.
"well what the hell am I supposed to do if i cant fucking find him!!" I growled. "He wasn't even in his dorm last night, so where the hell did he even stay?!" "Uh bakugo your not gonna want to hear this but I think he stayed with todoroki.." shitty hair frowned. "HE STAYED WITH ICYHOT?!" I was yelling. "THAT BASTARD IL KILL HIM!!" I activated my quirk but shitty hair calmed me down before I blew up the place. "Hey calm down, we'll get him back, I have a plan." He smiled putting his arm on my shoulder. I couldn't help but slightly smile. I'm not usually the soft type to smile, but I felt so relieved I was gonna fix this and show the nerd I really care about his dumb face.
Deku's POV
I woke up from sleeping all day and realized the dance was in an hour. I looked in the mirror and notice my bags were less noticeable and my eyes weren't puffy anymore. I felt better and decided to try to lift my spirits. I was going to use this time to do some training!! I got my dumbbells and started to workout. Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. I got up and opened it to see Kacchan.
I looked behind him and everyone from class was standing behind him, dressed up for the dance.
"W-what are you guys doing here?!"
"Your going to the dance with me deku so get your ass ready." I didn't know what to say.
I stood there unable to speak. "You gonna say anything nerd?!" He was becoming impatient. Kirishima nudged him and he cleared his throat.
" I mean, I should've told you the other day that I lied when I said I didn't care if you went, I was being a shithead and I thought it would be better that you went with your friends, I'm not good at going to social events, so I was afraid you wouldn't enjoy yourself if I was there." Kacchan blushed, and gave me a bouquet of flowers. I could tell this was hard for him to say, especially in front of the whole class. "Don't make me repeat myself deku.." I took the bouquet and smiled faintly. "so is that a yes??" He said worryingly.
As I stood in thought, I began to realize why he reacted that way the other night. I smiled wide as I looked at everyone dressed up after they put all their hard work into this event. "l-I be right back!" I had a big smile on my face as I shut the door and got dressed. I could hear kirishima congratulating kacchan On the other side of the door. I quickly put on my green and black suit and styled my hair. When I was done, I opened the door with a huge smile on my face.
"I-I'm ready!!!" Kacchan's eyes went wide as he blushed. He reached his hand out and smiled. "Let's go then."
I grabbed his hand and we all went to the dance hall as a class.
