Iida's POV

I ran my hands through my hair, sighing. I had another fight with Mei. It's just.. weird I guess. And frustrating. We've never really had a serious fight like this, now that I think of it. It's... I don't even know what to think if I'm to be honest. God dammit, it's all because of Uraraka. She is one of my best friends, but why does she have to be so touchy? Maybe I should have told her to maintain a bit of a distance...

I stuffed my hands in my pockets walking towards our dorms. Fu- wait I shouldn't swear. Meh, whatever, these are just my thoughts, not like anyone's gonna find out. I felt a tear form in my eye, and I quickly wiped it away. No Tenya, you shouldn't cry because of things like this. Just a lover's quarrel is all. But... Did she mean what she said in the fight..?

Flashback

I walked in with my hands in my pockets, only to be met with the girl of my dreams glaring at me with tears in her eyes. She threw one of her many failed contraptions at me. I caught it midair and looked at her in shock.

Iida: Mei, sweetheart, what happened?

Hatsume: Don't "sweetheart" me Tenya. You know exactly what you did.

I was confused. I knew that she had intense emotions and became moody sometimes, but this was different. She was actually upset at something I did.

Iida: Mei... Can you explain what I did?

Hatsume: Oh, now we need EXPLAINING don't we?

I slowly walked towards her, not knowing what I should do in the situation. She threw another metal object at me.

Hatsume: Don't you DARE come near me. Not after what you keep doing.

I stopped in my tracks. Something I keep doing?

Hatsume: Yes, I mean it. You and you Best Friend.

I scoffed and looked into her eyes.

Iida: You mean Uraraka?

She sarcastically threw her hands in the air.

Hatsume: No, I mean the air- of COURSE I MEAN HER!

I stared at her.

Hatsume: I know you used to like her. It hurt honestly. But I was so SO happy when you chose me. But every single time she hugs you, clings to your arm, and just is touchy with you in general, I feel like I've been slapped in the face.

Hatsume: I'm sorry. I like you a lot, I really do, but if this goes on, I don't think our relationship will work out.

Hatsume: Goodbye, Iida.

I just gave her a blank look as she walked out of our usual meeting place, wiping her eyes. I grabbed her wrist, but she slapped my arm away.

Hatsume: I said Goodbye. Don't try anything until we fix things. Please.

As she looked up at me, I could see the genuine pain in her eyes. The tears threatening to fall. She was trying to be strong. She always does that. Wiping my eyes, I gave her a nod. She gave me a small smile in return.

Flashback ends

I wish that she knew that I love her so much, and that my feelings for Uraraka were just a simple crush..

Hatsume's POV

I gripped the hem of my shirt and sighed. That was probably the hardest thing to do, just break up with Te- no Iida like that. But I had to. It was better for me. A few tears started trailing down my cheeks. I just have to get through this.. This is harder than I thought. Why, Why did Uraraka be so close with him? She's everything I'm not...

She's pretty, a hero, kind, popular...

Fun....

I walked slowly to where my dorms were. As I was passing by, I saw the door of class 1a's common room. It was slightly ajar. Huh... I could just sneak a peek if Tenya's there-

Mei, no! The point of this was so that you could separate yourself from him! You won't be able to stay away if you keep looking for him...

But... Just a little peek wouldn't hurt right..?

This isn't a game of hide and seek....

Flashback

Hatsume: Ready or not, here I come!

I giggled as I removed my hands from my eyes. Me and Tenya were playing a game of hide and seek, as if we were still kids.

I skipped around, scanning the garden for any traces of my boyfriend.

Long story short, I didn't find him.

I was bending down, checking in a spot when I felt a pair of arms around my waist. He found me instead...

Turning around, I bop his nose.

Hatsume: Found you!

He just smiled at me and gave me a soft kiss on the lips.

Iida: No, I found you!(AN: In another life fans where ya at-)

I frowned at him and tried to escape, which only resulted in me tripping over his feet and him falling over me. I laughed as he stared at me, and amused expression on his face.

Hatsume: So are you gonna kiss me or should I get up?

He let out a snort and brought his face closer to mine.

Iida: I don't know, you tell me.

I flushed bright red and gasped.

Hatsume: I didn't know you had this flirty side Tenya!

Iida: Well I do.

Flashback ends

You know what? Fuck it. I'm going to see if he even cared. If not, looks like I made the right decision after all. If he does, then....

I'll think about it later. I crept up to the door, and peeking in, I was shocked by the sight I was met with.

What have I done?

Iida's POV

I walked to our dorms, opening the door.

Iida: Ah fu-

I then noticed that lights were on, and a few of my classmates were up. Ashido, Sero, Yaoyorozu and Jirou stared at me in shock.

Iida: ... What are you guys doing, awake at this time?

Momo: I could ask you the same.

Shit. Now I have to explain everything to them...

Or I could lie.

Iida: I went to the restroom, remember?

I gave them a stern look.

Jirou: Did he? I thought he was asleep or sum-

Mina: Yeah, he did...

I inwardly thanked Ashido. Thank you lord for making her decide to side with me-

Mina: But one doesn't spend that long in the restroom right?

Never mind, curse you Ashido, hope you find a place in hell.

Iida: I fell asleep.

They all raised sceptic eyebrows at me. That was when Jirou's eyes widened.

Jirou: WAIT-

Please don't say it, please don't say it, plea-

Jirou: Hatsume?

Anddd she said it. God really REALLY wants to make life shitty for me huh. Was it because of what happened with Mei..?

Mei...

Jirou: OH SHIT-

Momo: Kyoka, I'll say this as nicely as I can because I love you, shut up.

Jirou: ...Right

Mina: Iida, are you okay?!

Sero: Dude, what happened with her?

I looked up at them.

Iida: What makes you think I'm not okay?

They exchanged uneasy looks.

Sero: Uh, dude? You're literally crying right now.

I quickly touched my cheeks, and sure enough, they were wet. Damn. Well, guess since they already know I'm upset and why, they might as well know the whole thing.

Iida: Yeah... It's Mei... So basically we are- I mean were dating...

I smiled wistfully as happy memories flooded in.

Iida: So, uhm, you know how Uraraka gets REALLY touchy, right?

They exchanged slightly uneasy looks and nodded.

Iida: Well, Mei, uh got upset.... And she snapped. It's not like I blame her, I should have asked for space...

I could feel tears flowing down my cheeks again.

Iida: A- and... She broke up with me...

I started breaking down. I was in tears, and the others had come near me to calm me down. I could feel a few soothing hands drawing circles on my back, and I smiled at the blurry images of my friends.

Sero: But aren't Uraraka and Tsuyu dating now?

I looked at the couple cuddled in each other's arms, in a totally non platonic way.

Iida: She doesn't know, and they weren't before.

Iida: And besides...

I let a few more tears make their way down my cheeks and sniffed.

Iida: I used to have a small crush on Uraraka, but in the first month of school.

The others exchanged devastated looks. I could see that they were contemplating on how to help me. I just continued crying. They say crying makes you feel better. I wonder if it does.

Iida: It's funny isn't it? I found the person I truly loved, and then I go and mess things up. I do that a lot don't I? Like that time with Stain...

I looked at Midoriya and Todoroki, cuddled up into the latter's sleeping bag. I gave a weak smile, and a few more tears stained my face.

I heard a noise coming from the door, however I ignored it.

???: ... Tenya?

My eyes widened, and I turned around. It had to be a figment of my imagination right? There was no way...

Mei...

Hatsume's POV

Hatsume: ... Tenya?

As he turned around to face me, I grimaced. I could see that he was crying a lot, judging from his tear stained cheeks and puffy red eyes. I quietly walked towards him, and knelt down. I put a hand on his cheek, wiping a tear with my thumb.

Hatsume: I'm sorry... For everything. For being stupid, judgemental, impulsive, tempered... The list keeps going on huh...

I let out a soft laugh.

Hatsume: I know this is a lot but... Can we go back to how we used to be..?

I screwed my eyes close, expecting a rejection. I don't really know why I had even asked that, of course he'd be ma-

I felt a slight tug on my hand as I was pulled forward, and strong arms wrapped themselves around me.

Iida: Found you.

I laughed, memories from the past flooding in. It hadn't really been a while but.. I'd been acting distant for quite some time. It was good having this again.

Iida: Wait, for how long were you mad at me? It's been a while since we had something like this-

Hatsume: I'm sorry for being distant for so long.

Hatsume: But don't worry, now this will stay.

I pressed me forehead against his as I let the last word be unsaid but understood.

Forever.

I could hear a girly screech from the door. It was that person who resembled pikachu.

Sero: Kaminari-

Girls who are awake: HOW DARE YOU RUIN THE MOMENT I-

Bakugou: CAN Y'ALL SHITTY EXTRAS SHUT THE ACTUAL FUCK UP I'M TRYI-

I turned around to the sound. Oh, that kid who won gold. He stopped as he saw me and Tenya.

Bakugou: Oh, you got that solved? Good for you I guess.

Tenya looked at him with an incredulous look.

Tenya: HOW DID YOU-

He snorted.

Bakugou: Oh PLEASE I could SMELL the tension. Been there for about a month now.

Bakugou: But seriously, shut the fuck up, me and Eijirou are TRYING to sleep.

Mina: JHSDFBFVHNFHNJFGFFGV YOU GUYS I-

I laughed softly and put my head on Tenya's shoulder.

Hatsume: Remind me to hang out with your classmates more, they're pretty chill.
