(Y/n)'s POV

I rapped on Shinsou's door, letting out a soft breath from the brisk walk I had taken over here. It swung open immediately and I smile at him to which he half returned. I was beginning to suspect that not a lot of guys in this school really liked to smile. What was with this whole bad boy image? At least Izuku smiled fully.

"Hey, do you mind if I talk to you?" I asked. For a while, and by a while I mean this past night, I couldn't stop thinking about the video footage. Seeing as Shinsou was right up with the action, I figured I would ask him what he thought about the whole thing. Did he think I remembered all that happened? And if he did, then why was he acting so casually about it? It was no secret now that I went a tad overboard on capturing the guy.

"Yeah, sure," he said, stepping aside to let me in. As I walked past, now closer, I gained a look at him to see he was slightly sweaty. I assumed he was back form training with Aizawa. "Here, you can sit here." He pulled up his desk chair, seating himself at the edge of his bed.

"Thanks, I was wondering if you could talk about the sound villain attack with me. Considering you were there," I said, running my fingers through my hair.

"Sure, what about it? It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, no it has."

"You saw the video then," he continued and I nodded.

"So you remember everything right?"

"Yeah? Why wouldn't I?" I frowned slightly, knowing that I had forgotten myself.

"Well to be perfectly honest, I don't remember anything after grabbing his ankle," I said and his eyebrows furrowed, causing him to prop one leg up to rest his chest against.

"What?"

"In the video...I captured him right? I don't remember that happening. I don't even remember you coming up to help me."

"Oh...I was a little confused as to why you didn't seem to recognize me," he said, agreeing with me.

"I...tried to kill that guy?"

"What??" He asked and I leaned back in my chair slightly, a guilty look on my face. "I mean I'm sure you hurt him a little, but you definitely didn't intend to kill him, I mean come on. I tried getting the guy under my control, but you grabbed him and pinned him with water. Might've hurt, but you certainly couldn't have killed him." So he hadn't anything to do with my memory loss. Damn.

"Oh."

"Is that what you're worried about?"

"Well no, I'm a little more worried about the fact my mind blacked out all of that. Makes me wonder what other trauma my brain just chooses to ignore," I said, shaking my head.

"I don't know, you got hit a ton. I'm sure that was why. I mean afterwards Aizawa sensei and I were helping you to Recovery Girls and you were babbling about some crazy stuff."

"Excuse me?" I asked. He glanced over to me, realizing that he had spilled and I in fact had no idea what he was talking about. "What stuff? Did I even pass out?"

"Oh yeah, big time outside RG's office," he said. "I don't really remember exactly what you said, but it was stupid stuff like 'I have to remind my aunt to fold the socks the right way this time', you know?" I placed a hand over my face, groaning in embarrassment. So I'm hysterical now.

"You've got to be kidding."

"Yeah, you wouldn't stop talking, even though you were losing your voice by the second." I frowned, having forgotten that part of it. "I think you were talking a bunch about the angry blonde one, Bakugo."

"Like what?"

"Something about shutting him up? I believe I distinctly remember you describing a scenario where you invite him out on a date just to stand him up," Shinsou said, tugging at his neck awkwardly.

"Oh my All Might," I murmured. "I can't tell him that, I'll never hear the end of it."

"He is so lucky to have you I suppose," Shinsou said, "standing him up for dates and fighting him? You're a stand up girl."

"I'm going to take that as a joke," I said, crossing my arms at him.

"Are you...dating him?" He asked. I knew we weren't really outwardly telling people, but Shinsou did ask. Should I? It couldn't hurt, but then again if Shinsou made Kacchan mad, I would never hear the end of that.

"Uh...yes."

"Ahh," he said, passing his judgement silently. I didn't mind when people made their judgements, I would too because from the outside it must not make very much sense. Especially from Shinsou's point of view, being so out of touch with our whole class. Well except Kaminari.

"Well thanks for the info I guess...enough about me though. Did you talk to Kaminari?" I asked. I had been dying to know if they had finally chatted.

"Yeah I did."

"Really? What did he say?"

"Well I asked him why he was harassing me, he got very very awkward and said he liked me," he said, peering at me. I had a suspicion he knew that I was aware of Kaminari's crush on him.

"Oh wow!"

"You can save it, he told me you knew."

"Oh."

"Which by the way, he watches me train? Creepy," Shinsou said and I frowned, my stomach dropping. By the direction in which this conversation was going, I didn't suppose the interaction with Kaminari didn't go well. "He's just...really weird about it. I already told him I don't really want to make any friends and even though I'd consider him a friend, I certainly didn't want anything more like that."

"So you said no?"

"I don't like guys like that," he said, crossing his arms. "Even if I did, I probably wouldn't go out with Kaminari. He's a good friend and a good person, just not like that."

I could imagine it going down.

"So what's up Shinsou?"

"Are you sending me these flirty texts?"

"Hah, well, yeah, I kinda like you a lot."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I unfortunately don't feel that way about you."

"Wait...what?"

"Oh no...oh Kaminari is going to hate me," I said, placing a hand over my face again. Poor Denki. And it was my fault for sending Shinsou to him. It was strange to believe Shinsou didn't reciprocate the feelings. He seemed the most comfortable around Kaminari when I saw them together. Maybe both Kami and I read it wrong. "Sorry I asked."

"You should go, I'm sure he's want to talk to you," Shinsou said, looking away from me, and I grimaced before nodding him goodbye. It just didn't make any sense to me, but I suppose Shinsou didn't like him like that. I hurried back to the dorms to find Kaminari. Was that why he wasn't as loud today like he usually was? The thought made me queasy. I had a feeling Kaminari wasn't going to tell his friends about his sexuality any time soon after that.

I was such a dummy.

I knocked on his door repeatedly until it swung open and a dejected, annoyed Denki was staring back at me. He winced when he saw me.

"What's up?" He said.

"I just talked to Shinsou, are you okay?" I posed the question.

"Fine thank you," he said, going to shut the door. I stopped it with my hand.

"Denki, I'm so sorry I sent him your way like that. I didn't mean to—"

"Can you not block my door, I'm busy not talking to you."

"Kami come on," I insisted, pressing open his door. "I'm sorry, I really thought he liked you so I sent him your way. I made a mistake, I didn't mean to—"

"We were clearly both mistaken then," he said. I glanced around his room, seeing it was messy and felt extremely warm due to him shutting himself up in here. "I was fine with just messing around with him over text you know."

"I know! And I'm sorry, I swear Kami I feel terrible," I said, flashing him my best 'I'm sorry' face. He remained morosely glaring at me as he just plopped in his bed. Perhaps the forgiveness wouldn't come as easy as I thought. "I feel awful, I never should meddle in people's love life it always goes wrong. I have to learn from my mistakes." I slapped myself in the side of the head.

"Could you not do that?"

"Trust me, I really had no idea he would do that and I didn't wish that upon you."

"You're just easy to blame and be mad at. It's better than being sad," he said, looking away from me. "I get rejected all the time, it's so not fair. The one time it actually truly mattered if the person liked me back...they don't. Just like everyone else. I'm so sick and tired of always pulling the short straw."

"Oh Kami..."

"What is there something wrong with me?" He asked, looking back at me. I could see his face was red and he was holding back the urge to cry. I had no idea he liked Shinsou that much. I was the biggest idiot in the world.

"What? No!" I said, sitting beside him and wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "You're a great guy and I'm sorry people don't seem to see that. Shinsou doesn't know what he's talking about, I mean if I was him I'd be all over you."

"Yeah right," he scoffed.

"I'm serious. You'll find someone. Maybe dial down the whole pick up line kind of stuff. Some people want to see what's underneath and I think you're awesome!" I said and he paused. "You just have to let people see that."

"Sorry for blaming you."

"Nah, don't worry about it. It was kind of my fault for telling him to talk to you," I said. "I'm a dummy sometimes."

"The tables have turned," he said.

"Please don't tell me this is going to discourage you from sharing that you like guys too," I said and his face flushed slightly.

"Yeah, yeah whatever," he scoffed.

"Good. I mean Shinsou must not have good taste, thats all," I replied and Kaminari shook his head. I hugged him, feeling him return the gesture tightly. I wasn't at all afraid to be shocked now, he was well under control of it. Even if it did happen, it would be fine, so long as Kaminari knew he was wanted. "His goddamn loss."

"Thanks," he said, his voice muffled by my shoulder.

"No problem," I replied.

"You know if Bakugo caught us like this, I think he'd kill me," Kaminari said.

"Why?"

"It's obvious," Kaminari replied. Did everybody know at this point? Was there even a reason to keep it secret. "He's totally simping for you."

"Oh shut it," I scoffed.

"He should really ask you out," Kami replied.

"Man you're right," I replied, messing with him. Maybe I would find a more shocking way to reveal it to Denki. His reaction would be priceless and I didn't particularly want to flaunt my relationship in front of him right after Shinsou's rejection.

"Didn't think Bakugo could be such a simp," he continued and I held back a laugh.

"Do you want to watch a movie with me or something?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Why not," he replied, "I mean I could totally go for some Netflix and chill."

"See that's what we're not going to do," I said, standing up and offering him a hand up.

"Right, right," he said. "Just checking."

"Haha very funny."
