"A Jealous Storm Brews"
Part 43
The scene unfolded with the boys' reactions growing more and more intense, while the girls seemed to be enjoying the show. Mina, Ochaco, and the others were giggling and whispering to each other, their eyes shining with amusement as they watched the drama unfold. Meanwhile, the boys were a different story altogether. Deku looked like he was about to cry, his eyes wide with shock and hurt. Bakugo's face was still red with rage, his fists clenched at his sides as he glared at me. Kirishima and Kaminari looked like they were about to start a fight, their faces twisted in scowls. And Todoroki... Todoroki just looked like he was seething, his eyes burning with a quiet intensity. "So, you're dating Shinso now?" Deku asked, his voice shaking with emotion. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the situation down. "It's not like that, Deku, I-" But before I could finish, Osby piped up from the sidelines, "Hold up, let me grab some popcorn. This is gonna be good." The girls burst out laughing at this, and even I couldn't help but crack a smile. But the boys were not amused. Bakugo's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on me like a predator. "You're laughing? You think this is funny?" Kirishima and Kaminari took a step forward, their faces twisted in scowls. "Yeah, what's so funny?" Kirishima growled. The tension in the room was palpable, and I could feel the air thickening with emotion. It was like the boys were all seething with jealousy, and I had no idea how to calm them down. "Guys, come on," I said, trying to reason with them. "Let's just talk about this, okay?" But they weren't having it. The boys were too far gone, consumed by their own emotions. And I was starting to realize that things were about to get a lot more complicated.
