Secrets. They live within us. Sometimes they hurt us. Sometimes it helps us.
So many people have secrets, those they're willing to share, and some that they really aren't. Some they would take to the grave before admitting them to the world.
Katsuki Bakugo thought he'd never admit to his true feelings about the boy he pushed away from his fear and anxiety of getting close to someone. But then that boy left him, not evening paying him any attention. Then another person came in.
He wasn't a pushover like the first boy, perhaps Katsuki needed someone to not themselves be pushed around. He needed a wake-up call. A really big and hard wake-up call.
It was a perfect wake-up call when Izuku and Shoto came out as dating, and Katsuki's old feelings for Izuku came forwards once again, confusing the shit of Katuski, who thought he was in love with Kirishima.
Feelings are a bitch. They hurt. They suck, though sometimes they are wonderful.

Ochako Uraraka has a secret. A secret she can admit to herself. One that keeps her up at night, fear that the boy would know, and he wouldn't stop being friends with her.
A fear that sometimes made her school work difficult, one that nearly made her drop out of UA High School. But Iida talked her out of it.
But she didn't know that Iida's own feelings towards her hurt when she is hurt by her own feelings towards someone else. Iida is in love with Urarka, but, is too scared to admit that, as he knows they wouldn't be returned. So he hides them, helping her.

Maybe if Kaminari wasn't so scared, he'd tell him, instead of trying to make himself straight, because he knows his parents would never be happy if they knew he was gay.
Of course, trying to make himself straight doesn't actually work, trust him, he's tried everything that anyone has ever said to do.
It doesn't work.
Kaminari tries to not be in love with Kirishima, but, it doesn't work like that.

So, with Bakugo truly being in love with Deku, Kirishima being truly in love with Bakugo, Deku being in love with Shoto, Ura being in love with Deku, Iida being in love with Ura, Kaminari being in love with Kirishima...
It's a whole mess.
