Tensions Rise
Part 179
Mina's voice cut through the room, her words drawing everyone's attention. "So, we all know Todoroki, Bakugo, Deku, Kirishima, Kaminari, Shinso, and Shindo all like Vesper at least just a bit, right?" She raised an eyebrow, her eyes scanning the room as she waited for a response. The room fell silent for a moment, and then, one by one, everyone nodded in agreement. I could feel my heart racing as I wondered where Mina was going with this. Mina's grin grew wider as she continued, "Why don't we test their feelings?" Her words hung in the air, and I could sense a collective gasp from the group. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized what Mina was proposing. The room was about to get a lot more interesting. Neijire's eyes sparkled with amusement, and he leaned back in his chair, looking like he was ready to watch a show. Shinso's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Mina. "What did you have in mind?" he asked, his voice low and cautious. Mina's smile grew even wider. "Let's have Vesper go talk to each of them, one on one. We'll see how they react." She glanced at me, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Vesper, are you up for it?" I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. But then, my curiosity got the better of me. I nodded, and Mina grinned. "Great," she said, her voice dripping with excitement. "Let's start with Todoroki." Todoroki's eyes flicked to mine, and I could see a hint of wariness in them. He nodded, his face set in a neutral expression. I took a deep breath and stood up, my heart racing with anticipation. I had a feeling that this was going to be a long night. As I walked over to Todoroki, I could feel everyone's eyes on me. The room was electric with tension, and I could sense that anything could happen. Todoroki stood up, his eyes locking onto mine. "Vesper," he said, his voice low and smooth. I smiled, trying to play it cool. "Todoroki," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. The room fell silent, waiting for us to make our move. I could feel the weight of everyone's expectations on me, and I knew that this was just the beginning. I took a step closer to Todoroki, my heart pounding in my chest. What was going to happen next? Was Todoroki going to confess his feelings, or was he going to play it cool? Only time would tell.
