Stranded

Confessions and Friends

"It's so good to see you all again." Ashido said with a smile as she sat in a room with some of her best friends.

"Yeah, we missed you like crazy!" Kirishima said with a smile as he stood up, stretching his arms over his head. After four hours, everyone had been cleared to move around other than Bakugo and Midoriya, who were still sleeping. "Ashido, want to go for a walk?" He asked as he extended his hand down to her.

"You sure you're up for a walk?" She asked with concern as she took his hand. "I know you aren't hurt bad, but maybe you should rest a little longer." She said as she was pulled to her feet.

"I'm fine.." He said with a soft smile before looking at everyone else in the room. The only people that weren't in there were Bakugo, Midoriya, Todoroki, Kaminari, and Shinso. "We'll meet you guys in Bakubro's room when we're done, we'll grab Kaminari and Shinso on the way."

"Sounds good dude!" Sero said as he held his thumb up, silently wishing him good luck.

"When are you guys leaving?" Kirishima asked as he stepped into the hallway with the pink girl, casually making small talk until he reached the destination he had in mind.

"I think we're all staying the night." She answered as she looked at his face. She didn't realize how amazing he was until she thought she lost him. "Your guys' parents will be here tomorrow, if not tonight. Figured we could keep you company until then."

"I don't know about everyone else, but I would certainly appreciate it." Kirishima responded with a small smile as he reached the end of the hallway before grabbing his friend, pulling her into the stairwell.

"Kirishima, what are you doing?" She asked with a laugh as she was pulled up half a flight of stairs to a platform that wasn't completely visible from either door.

"Look Ashido, it was hell on that island." He began nervously as she looked at him with wide eyes. Nobody had asked what they went through, they figured they would tell them when they were ready. However, she wasn't expecting it to be so soon. "I'm not going to go into extreme detail yet, I figured we would just knock it out of the way with the whole class later." He said with a sad smile. It was weird for Ashido to see any smile that wasn't his giant grin. She only hoped it would return to his face soon, she missed it.

"What I will tell you is that everyday, it was a struggle. Not knowing how long we were going to be there or how long it was going to be until we saw you guys again. We weren't sure if your plane made it through the storm, so we were also terrified of that." He began explaining nervously, not entirely sure if he was taking this in the correct direction. "However, we learned a lot about ourselves there as we were forced to face reality without any distractions."

"What do you mean by that?" She asked as she squinted her eyes, trying to read his body language. His face was tinted a light shade of pink and he kept swaying side to side, nervously looking at the ground.

"For starters, Shinso and Kaminari are officially out as a couple. Iida and Uraraka finally got together and our class even has a throuple now."

"I knew about the two relationships, but there's a throuple?" She asked with excitement as she brought her hand to her chin, attempting to figure out who it could be.

"That's besides the point at the moment." Kirishima said with a nervous smile, drawing her attention back to him. "Before we left, I was debating on telling you something. I've been debating on it for a while, but I always chickened out when I decided to do so. When we crashed, it was all I thought about. I don't want to ever leave this world without telling you." He explained as he took a deep breath, attempting to calm his nerves and his racing heart.
