Maybe I'm going crazy

Marinette

I laid in my room and stared at the ceiling above me.
"Youf okavy Mrnte?" Tiki asked as she munched on a chocolate chip cookie.
I sigh and continue to focus on the cracks. "I have no idea Tikki."
"Well...can you tell me what's up? I can be your own little therapist!" She squeaks.
I laugh and then groan because I remembered how my heart rate increased triple speed yesterday when Deku nervously laughed. I don't know what that boy did to me that made me turn into a goopy mess.
"I feel like I'm being selfish Tikki..." I close my eyes and let out another breath. "Like...I'm really enjoying spending time with Deku but...at what point is enough going to be enough? He's slowly molding into my heart and brain Tikki. But he has to go home eventually." I sigh and open my eyes. "Maybe I'm going crazy but I think I may be starting to like him..." I whisper.
"That could be seen from a mile away Marinette..." Tikki comments. "And if I'm being honest...he seems like a great guy."
"He is. But he's from another dimension Tikki. I'm falling from a boy who isn't even from my world. It feels like a Wattpad!"
Tikki sighs and places one of her little stubby hands on my hand. "I think it'll all work out. You should probably go find him though. School starts up in an hour and you promised you eat breakfast with him." I nod and sit up.
I quickly get dressed and run over to Deku's room and I knock.
"Come in!"
I open the door and Deku is sitting at his desk scribbling something down. When he looks up and sees me his eyes widen and he shuts the book. "Uh...hey Marinette."
"H...hey...I just wanted to see if you were ready to go have breakfast?"
Deku stands up and I notice he's wearing light gray joggers.
Shit.
"Um Marinette are you okay?"
I nod and give a tight lipped smile.
Why are guys so attractive in light gray joggers? It really shouldn't be that cute.
"Oh. Um. Okay. I just said I'm ready so we can head down now if you'd like."
"Yes I like them- I mean you- I mean me go down like- I mean-" I groan and cover my face with my hands.
I hear the sweetest laugh and look up to see a warm smile on Deku's face.
"You remind me so much of me." Izuku places his hand on my head and smiles.
I feel my cheeks warm up and I turn on my heel to run downstairs.
This day was gonna be a long one.

Breakfast was silent for the most part. I just peeked at Izuku through my bangs.
I mean how on God's green Earth could I think that a guy eating was sexy? For crying out loud we were eating breakfast burritos! But the way he scarfed back seven burritos and licked all the sauce off of his fingers and-
Gross. I was officially deeming myself as being foul.
When Deku decided he had had enough burritos he stood up and stretched. He chugged back two glasses of orange juice and went to wash his plate.
"Oh, sweetie you don't have to do that-" My mom said to him as he grabbed the sponge.
"Please, Sabine. I don't mind. You've already graced me with enough kindness by allowing me to stay here. Please let me return that kindness tenfold in any way that I can." He gave my mom a sweet, sweet smile and my poor mom's face turned red.
Izuku really had his way with anyone of the female species.
In fact probably with every gender. He was just...
He was amazing. I hadn't really ever met someone like him before.
He turned to me and smiled. "Do I have something on my face?"
I run through a list of reasons as to why he would ask me that when my mom answers the question for me.
"Oh no honey. Marinette just has a problem with staring at handsome guys. Especially those with a somewhat boyish cuteness." She smiles and pinches Izuku's cheek.
His face turns pink and he turns away quickly.
My mom winks at me and walks away to go open up the bakery.
"Please forgive her. She's...a bit much sometimes." I mumble.
Izuku nods slightly. "I...I...I'm not the best when it comes to talking to girls." He chuckles a little and looks at the sink rather sadly. "Which is unfortunate because I want to fall in love. I want the kind of love thats...you know a love that..." He sighs and looks up with his eyes closed a small smile playing on his lips. "Back home we have this word...ikigai..." He pauses momentarily and I find my eyes tracing the nearly perfect features of his face. For the first time I realize the splash of freckles on his cheeks. And I want so badly to have enough time with him to count all those freckles a hundred times. A thousand times.
"What does it mean?" I whisper quietly.
A laugh escapes his lips and his teeth are so white. His adams apple bobs as his laughter fills the kitchen.
"There isn't a perfect translation for it. But...its like...your reason. A reason for being. A reason to get up in the morning. A reason to live. Its simply...a reason." His eyes open slowly and he tilts his head towards me, his face highlighted by the sun peeking through the window. For a minute I'm hypnotized by how beautiful he looked in this moment.
If I could take this moment and freeze it forever I would. Because he was beauty in that moment.
"I want a love like that." He whispered.
And in that moment I felt like...

Izuku was my ikigai.

Yay! I really liked this chapter! I hope you guys did too <3
