An Unexpected Kiss

Part 45

I couldn't shake off the feeling of embarrassment and confusion as I made my way back to our makeshift hideout. I had managed to avoid Izuku for now, but I knew I couldn't avoid him forever. I needed to talk to someone about what had happened, and who better to confide in than Ochaco and Mina? As I entered the hideout, I spotted Ochaco and Mina sitting on a blanket, chatting and laughing together. They immediately noticed the look on my face and exchanged a concerned glance. "Hey, what's wrong?" Ochaco asked, concern etched on her face. I took a deep breath and sat down beside them. "I need to tell you guys something," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Mina and Ochaco leaned in, their eyes wide with curiosity. "What is it?" Mina asked. I hesitated, unsure of how to start. "It was with Izuku," I said finally. "I... I accidentally kissed him." Ochaco's eyes widened in surprise, while Mina's face lit up with excitement. "What?!" Ochaco exclaimed. "How did that happen?" I shook my head, feeling my cheeks heat up all over again. "I don't know. We were talking, and I think I just... leaned in or something. I didn't mean to, but it happened." Mina grinned mischievously. "Well, that's certainly unexpected. What's going on in that head of yours?" I sighed, rubbing my temples. "I don't know. I feel so embarrassed and guilty, but at the same time... I don't hate it. I mean, I like Izuku, but I didn't expect to... you know." Ochaco nodded sympathetically. "I think I understand. You're not sure how you feel about him, but this has definitely complicated things." Mina nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and now you have to deal with the aftermath. What are you going to do?" I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed. "I have no idea. I was thinking of apologizing to him, but I'm not sure if that's enough." Ochaco placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "We'll figure it out together. But first, let's get one thing straight: you're not going to avoid Izuku forever, okay?" I nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. Maybe it was time to face the music and deal with the consequences of my actions.
