{Izuku's POV}
I wake up and realize I'm in recovery girls room. As I'm looking around I see All Might and I notice my stuff is at the side of the bed. Y/n must have brought it.
"By chance do you know where the girl who dropped my stuff off went?"
"Actually kid, she just left. She left as soon as she dropped off your stuff."
"Yes, I think the girl was nervous in All Mights presence."
"Oh....."
I look down at my hands and see them healed, that's when All Might speaks up.
"Young Midoryia, I hate to ask you a question like this but the girl that just walked out, do you like her?"
"Of course I do! She's my friend after all"
"No Midoryia, I'm asking if you like her in a romantic sense."
I think about what he said and start blushing. Yes, I do like Y/n but what does that have to do with One For All?
"So I take that as a yes. I have to know because this girl can either inspire you to work harder or she'll be a distraction. If she turns out to be a distraction from your training you'll have to start avoiding her and I would hate to make you do that kiddo."
"I see..."
I again look back down at my hands and think about how All Might said she could be a distraction. I can't let her be a distraction! I would hate to grow apart from her, I'm afraid she'll think that I hate her or something! I personally can't lose someone I love. I think that would be a bigger distraction if she was mad with me.
"I'll just think of her to motivate me then!"
Oh crap. Did I say that aloud.
"A-ah, sorry about that...."
"Well kid you should probably get going and catch up to that girl alright? I can see that she is clearly special to you and you probably don't want to lose her."
"O-okay, thanks All Might. Thank you again recovery girl for healing me!"
I get up, grab my bag and start running home. Hopefully I'll catch up to Y/n. I see that she had barely gotten outside of the campus.
"H-Hold on Y/n!"
{Y/N's POV}
I hear the sound of the one I love most behind me. So if course, I stand and wait for him.
"Hey Izuku! How are you feeling?"
"Much b-better than before."
"Well I mean you did break multiple fingers..."
"Y-yeah......"
We walk in silence for a bit. I really want to ask about his quirk but I have this feeling he won't answer me honestly.
"So Izuku, I hate to ask this but what is your quirk?"
Izuku stops in his tracks then starts walking again.
"U-uh, I rather not answer?"
"Oh. Okay."
I had a feeling he would do that. I've gotten so close to him but I still feel like I know nothing. It kinda hurts me he can't tell me what his quirk is but I guess we all have secrets for a reason. I'm guessing it's because he doesn't trust me, but that's okay. I've only been here for a few days now.....
We get to a part where we would normally separate and go to our separate houses but Izuku walks with me to my house. As soon as we get there I stop in front of my home.
"So uh, thanks for walking me all the way home.....?"
"No p-problem."
We stand there again in silence. Why is today so awkward with him? This morning it was fine.....maybe was it because he was uncomfortable? Did I make him uncomfortable? Probably. I must've accidentally pushed him away by being super weird. I sigh.
"Do I even known you anymore?"
"W-what does that mean Y/n?"
"Oh, uh, nothing. I was just talking to myself, that's all. You should probably get home now. I'll see you tomorrow Izuku."
"......bye....."
I unlock my front door and walk inside. I'll text Uraraka. I think she'll be able to get things off my mind....or she might make it worse. Either way she'll talk and understand me.
[Y/n,Uraraka]
Y/n: Hey
Urar: hi. What's up Y/n? OH WAIT- SO WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU LEFT MY HOUSE?
Y/n: well after the beach with everyone I decided to meet with Izuku because he lives near by
Urar: oooooooo~~~~? Getting cozy Y/n?
But other than that, what did you guys end up doing?
Y/n: well I came over wanted to get to know him better but after today I feel like I still don't know him....
Urar: oh I'm sorry to hear that, um continue with the story though, it sounded like you were having fun?
Y/n: alrighty
I tell Uraraka about what happened but leave out major chunks. I mean major chunks like almost kissing, me staying over twice, cuddling, and teasing him. I couldn't embarrass me or Izuku like that, even if I don't know him.....
{Izuku's POV}
As soon as I get home I plop myself onto my bed. I hate keeping secrets from Y/n but it could be bad if she found this one out. Anyway, it's just that she looked so hurt when I couldn't tell her. I can't believe that I'm trying to protect her, but then I'm hurting her as she protects me. I have so much guilt pent up in me right now. Maybe I should take her to dinner or something, but in a friendly way because I can't tell her how I feel yet. It's still too soon. I've gotta change the way I'm thinking, I feel too negative. I wish I wouldn't have broken my fingers though. Y/n got to fight Bakugo and I don't even know who won, better yet I didn't even get to see Y/n's quirk! I really missed a lot today, and now I'm just missing Y/n..... what am I gonna do? I can't tell her about my quirk....
I pick up my weights and start doing exercises to clear my head. It seems she still lingers in the back of my mind. Damn it, I need to do something. Quickly as well, I feel like I'm losing her already...
{Y/N's POV}
Uraraka and I finish texting each other and it's around 10:00 pm. I didn't even realize the sun went down. I sigh and get ready for bed. I try to lay down to sleep but I feel uncomfortable. I bet it's because I was with Izuku the past two nights. I believe Inko gave me her number and said if I ever needed anything to just call her, I think I might have her steal a shirt from Izuku. I guess I'll call her now before it gets any later.
Ring~
Ring~
"Hello?"
"Hi it's Y/n. I'm sorry to call you so late Mrs. Inko but I was wondering if you could do something for me because I can't sleep."
"Ah, sure Y/n. What do you need?"
"This might sound silly but could you steal the green shirt Izuku let me barrow so I can barrow it again? I'll go over to your house to pick it up."
"Okay, I can do that."
"Thank you Mrs. Inko! I'll see you soon."
I hang up and put on some shoes. After doing that I walk to the Midoryia residence and Mrs. Inko greets me at the door.
"Is this the right shirt?"
She lifts the shirt I borrowed from Izuku before.
"Yep! That's the right one, thank you Mrs. Inko for his shirt. I'll leave you be now. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Y/n, sleep well."
As soon as she handed me the shirt I ran back home. I took off my shirt as soon as I got to my room and then put on the forest green shirt. Yep, still smells like a cinnamon roll. The smell relaxes me and I feel sleepy all of the sudden. I suppose I just needed a comforting smell. I hop into bed and fall asleep quickly and soundly.
{Izuku's POV}
I hear a slam. What was that? Who could be here at 10 and leave so quickly? I walk downstairs and see my mom locking the door.
"Mom why are you up now? You should be asleep"
"Someone just needed something, don't worry about it Izuku. You need rest for tomorrow, go to bed."
"Whatever you say mom, goodnight."
"Goodnight Izuku"
I still want to know who was here and why. Like seriously, who needs something at 10 pm? Oh well, I guess people have their reasons. I walk back upstairs and get comfortable in my bed again. I guess I should put my plan in action tomorrow...but I don't know if I'll be able to get Y/n by herself. Actually what I'll do is see what kind of things she likes likes. I don't think I'll be able to ask her one on one so I'll ask Ida to help me out. I'll help him out if he needs any with whoever he likes. I feel myself start drifting and I fall asleep.

AN: Hi! This was a shorter chapter than usual as you can see. It was hard to write because I had to make Izuku and you become a bit more distant since Izuku is trying to keep One For All a secret. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can! Let me know if there are a mix of words you don't understand and I'll try to fix it. Thanks for reading!
