Introduction
Hey there, journal! It's me, Izuku. Today I want to talk about something that has been weighing on my heart for a while now. You see, there's this person in my life who means the world to me. Someone who makes my heart race and gives me butterflies just by being near them. That person is none other than Kachan - or Bakugo as some people call him.
The Bullying Years
Back when we were kids, things weren't easy for either of us. We grew up together in the same neighborhood and attended the same school. But instead of becoming friends like one would hope, our paths took a different turn.
Kachan was always so talented and confident; he had an explosive personality that drew attention wherever he went. On the other hand, I was quite shy and struggled with low self-esteem due to constant bullying from others.
I remember those days vividly – how they pushed me around and called me names because of my dream to become a hero someday seemed impossible back then when even believing in myself felt like a distant fantasy.
But despite all the pain inflicted upon me during those years, Kachan stood out from his peers not only because of his fiery quirk but also because he showed flashes of kindness towards someone like myself – someone who desperately needed it at that time.
Our Shared Dreams: Becoming Heroes
As we grew older, our dreams became clearer – both determined to become heroes capable of protecting others from harm just as All Might did before us. We enrolled at U.A High School—the most prestigious hero academy—and found ourselves side by side once again through fate or destiny (or maybe both).
At first glance you wouldn't think we could ever get along considering our past history together… but somehow things changed between us over time. We started training together under intense circumstances where bonds formed—both physical ones through rigorous exercises as well as emotional ones through shared experiences.
The Unspoken Feelings
It was during these moments that I realized my feelings for Kachan went beyond friendship. Whenever he flashed a rare smile in my direction, my heart would skip a beat and an unfamiliar warmth would spread throughout me. But how could I ever tell him? How could I confess something so delicate when our past had been filled with pain and hurt?
So, instead of revealing the truth, I buried it deep within myself – choosing to admire him from afar while silently supporting his dreams.
Confiding In Close Friends
The weight of unrequited love can be crushing sometimes; it's like carrying around a secret burden that no one else knows about. However, there are moments when even the strongest have to let their guard down and find solace in those they trust most.
I confided in Ochako and Tenya—my closest friends at U.A High School—about my hidden feelings for Kachan. They were both surprised but supportive nonetheless. Ochako urged me to take a chance on love while Tenya advised caution due to our complicated history together. Their opposing views left me torn between following my heart or playing it safe – unsure if revealing the depth of emotions inside me would strengthen or weaken our bond as friends.
A Bittersweet Crush
As time went on, we all grew closer together - forming an unbreakable trio known as "Team Midoriya." We faced challenges head-on side by side without any doubt about each other's loyalty or commitment towards becoming heroes who protect others selflessly.
However, despite this strong camaraderie we developed over time… My crush on Kachan remained bittersweet—a constant reminder of what might have been if circumstances were different back then.
Conclusion: A Hopeful Future
In conclusion journal-chan (yes...I named you), having this secret crush has been both a blessing and a curse. It's given me the motivation to push myself harder, inspired me to be better, and taught me that love can exist even in the most unexpected places.
But at the same time, it has also caused moments of pain and doubt – wondering if our past will forever define us or if there is a chance for something more. Only time will tell what lies ahead for Kachan and I. Maybe one day we'll have an opportunity to discuss our shared history openly – allowing healing to take place between two souls who were once broken apart by circumstances out of their control.
Until then, I'll continue cherishing every moment spent with him as his friend while secretly hoping that one day he might see me as something more than just "Deku" - someone worthy of being loved in return.
Signing off, Izuku
