The Unexpected Twist

Deku's eyes scanned the room once more, as if searching for an escape or an alternative, but ultimately, they landed on me. I felt my heart skip a beat as our eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. The room around us melted away, and all that was left was Deku and I, locked in a gaze that seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words. As the seconds ticked by, Deku took a step closer to me, his face still flushed with a mix of excitement and nervousness. I could see the uncertainty in his eyes, but there was also a sense of determination that I hadn't seen before. The rest of the group seemed to fade into the background, their voices and laughter becoming a distant hum as Deku's eyes remained fixed on mine. I felt my cheeks grow warm, and my heart began to pound in my chest. What was Deku thinking? Why had he chosen me? As Deku took another step closer, Kacchan's face fell, and he looked away, trying to hide his disappointment. I could sense the tension in the air, the unspoken emotions that seemed to be simmering just below the surface. Mina, ever the observant one, noticed the sudden shift in dynamics and piped up, "Wait, Deku, are you...?" But she trailed off, sensing that something was about to go down. Deku's eyes never left mine as he took another step closer, his face inches from mine. I could feel his warm breath on my skin, and my heart was racing with anticipation. It seemed like Deku had made his choice, and that choice was me. I held my breath, waiting to see what would happen next. Would he kiss me? And what would it mean for our relationships with the rest of the group? The air was electric with tension as Deku's face drew closer, his lips mere inches from mine. I closed my eyes, preparing for the unknown, and waited for Deku to make his move.
