"DIE!" Upon hearing the words, Ochako immediately flinched, nearly dropping the plate she was cleaning. That was definitely Katsuki Bakugo, no one else could shout the word with such... passion? She immediately ran outside of the dorms building for class 2-A. Turning to the right she saw it.
Katsuki was helping Izuku Midoriya, his sworn rival, up from the ground. She continued to watch as Izuku entered his Full Cowl, and proceeded to leap to the top of the building.
'What are they doing?' She thought to herself, wondering why Izuku just leapt to the roof. Her question was answered when he leaped off of it. "Oh my god, Deku!" She ran forward but stopped when Katsuki hit him with a small explosion, sending him to the side.
"BAKUGO! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Ochako usually kept her cool, but she just saw the boy she was madly in love with suicide dive off the roof, only to be hit with an explosion seconds before he connected with the ground.
"Huh?" Katsuki turned, realizing they had a spectator. "The fuck are you spying on us for round face?" She was stunned. He was just caught blowing up another student and has the nerve to call her out? "I wasn't spying! I was washing dishes when I heard you screaming 'Die' and letting off explosions left and right!" She then turned her head to see Izuku laying on the floor, holding himself up by his elbow. "And you... and... you~!"
She hadn't realized it before, but Izuku's shirt had been seared off from the explosions. He was built so perfectly. His muscles were so toned, but he wants overly big like some kind of body builder. She felt like she could just die. Now only in his shorts and shoes, Izuku looked confused. "Ochako? What's wrong?"
Izuku jolted up, allowing his body to be seen in full. Ochako's face went from pink to cherry red in an instant. Katsuki scoffed. "She's getting off on you being shirtless you fucking nerd." Izuku looked at Katsuki, moved his gaze to Ochako, then down to his bare chest, then back to Ochako. His face lit up like a traffic light. Izuku turned to Katsuki, glaring at him with a stare of death.
Katsuki is the only person who Izuku has told about his feeling for Ochako. He knew that people like Shoto and Tenya had suspicions, but he only trusted Katsuki. He felt as if there was a sense of absolute trust between the two after he had found out about One For All. He trusted Ochako the same, maybe more, but it was All Might's secret, not his.
"Ah, uh, s-sorry for making so m-much noise Uraraka. I was j-just training on taking d-d-amage in the air." Izuku was stuttering a lot. Ochako felt like he wasn't being honest, but she didn't want to pry about honesty. That would make her the biggest hypocrite of the century. "Oh, ok. Just be c-careful. I don't want to have to clean up Deku splattered on the pavement." Izuku nodded, letting Ochako leave before looking at Katsuki.
"What?" Snarled out Katsuki as Izuku deadpanned at him. "What the hell Kacchan? Are you trying to let her know that I like her?" Katsuki let out a chuckle. "For a nerd, you are incredibly fucking stupid. Now come on, we need to get your shitty fucking floating to work." Izuku nodded, powering up his full cowl again, leaping back up to the roof. Unbeknownst to the duo, Ochako hadn't fully left yet. She noticed her shoelace was untied, so she began to tie it. While on her knee, she had over heard their conversation.
"Deku... likes... me back?"
-~-~-
A few days had passed since Ochako overheard what Izuku had said. "Are you trying to let her know that I like her?" That meant what she thought it did, right? It caused butterflies to swirl around in her stomach. She knew she liked him, loved him, but she never thought it was reciprocated. Never until now.
She heard a knock at her dorm door. Upon opening it, she was practically tackled by Mina and Toru. In unison both screamed, "OH MY GOSH YOU TWO ARE GONNA BE SO CUTE TOGETHER!" In the doorway, Kyoka, Momo, and Tsuyu all stood watching the assault of their friend. Eventually Momo and Kyoka pryed the two off of Ochako, with Tsuyu helping her up.
"Thanks Tsu." Tsuyu gave a blankless nod. "Don't mention it, ribbit." Ochako moved to her bed, plopping down onto it. Mina and Toru proceeded to sit down next to her on either side, with the other three girls taking the floor. "So details girl!" Initiated Mina, followed by Toru, "Yeah! How did he confess? Did you buy you flowers? Chocolate?"
"Huh?" Ochako's face began to heat up as she shook her head. "He didn't confess! I heard him tell Bakugo he liked me." The room went silent, taking a few moments before Momo spoke. "Midoriya told... Bakugo this?" All Ochako did was nod silently. "So why don't you go tell him you like him? I mean, you know you one hundred percent aren't getting rejected now." Added Kyoka, causing Tsuyu to nod in agreement. "I think you should go tell him now honestly, ribbit."
Ochako's light blush began to grow. "What?! T-today?" Tsuyu continued to stare at her. "Not just today. Right now, I saw him sitting on the couch in the commons." Mina began bouncing on the bed over and over again. "Oh my gosh if you do, then Kyoka and Momo totally have to confess to their crushes!"
The two mentioned girls eyes grew wide. Momo looked at the ground becoming as red as he hero costume, while Kyoka's cheeks became pink. "I don't like that electric idiot!" Toru let out a small laugh, "Funny, she never mentioned Kaminari~" Now Kyoka's face turned as red as Momo's was, he earjacks tapping together behind her back. "Sh-shut up!"
All the girls beside the blushing two began to laugh. Ochako was laughing, but her mind wasn't focused on the conversation. Should she really go tell him? Now, of all times?
Yeah. She's waited long enough, and now she knew there was at least a chance.
-~-~-
Izuku currently sat in the commons, reading the newest issue of the All Might comic run. Some of his classmates saw it odd that he was still reading comics about All Might when he could go talk to the guy, but he didn't care. This new issue was especially special to him. It was revealed that Deku (Yes he is in the comic as All Might's sidekick. He nearly had a stroke when that issue has come out.) would admit his love to another character. What he hadn't expected, was that said character would be Uravity.
He nearly had a heart attack upon seeing the last panel of the two of them kissing.
"Who ok'd this? Why did they put Ochako as my... Kacchan!!!" Izuku knew Katsuki had to have told All Might about his feelings. As he got up to go yell at him, he bumped into a familiar face. Ochako stood in front of him, looking so, so pretty.
She had some kind of lip gloss on, as it was clearly visible... Wait why did he look at her lips immediately? She wore a cute pink t-shirt and a pair of short shorts over a pair of yoga pants. The yoga pants looked so tight, perfectly showing off her beautiful cur- what? What is he doing, he's starting to sound like Minoru. She's your best friend. That's all.
"Whatcha reading Deku?" Asked Ochako, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Oh, just the new All Might issue. Deku and Uravity kiss at the end." The room goes silent after he said this. Why did I say that?
Izuku's face began to burn a bright red, Ochako's following suit. They both stood in an awkward silence for what felt like an eternity. Eventually Izuku began to stammer out an apology. "I'm sorry for saying that. I know it's so weird, why would they have us do that. I guess people like to put friends together. Yeah that's it, they see how well we work together, like a couple. Not saying we are like a couple, just friends you know-"
Izuku continued to stammer and stutter through his apology as Ochako reached for the book. She flipped through to the last page, seeing how they both looked in their kiss. He was in her arms, like she just dipped him while dancing.
She felt it fitting. He would never kiss her, he'd be way to nervous. Not like she wasn't just as nervous a few days ago before she heard what he said. So she took initiative. Wrapping her arms around him, preformed a quick kick to the back of his leg.
"Waghagh!" He cried out as he fell, but she caught him, the pose matching that of the issue. He looked up at her face. Eyes staring into his, lips being licked like she found her prey. "Umm- U-U-Uraraka?" His adorable stutter was the last straw.
She shot her head down, locking her lips to his. Izuku's eyes widened as his arms flailed behind her, like he was being attacked. Her lips felt so soft, so enchanting. His nerves were being broken as fast as his bones back in his first days at U.A. He eventually brought his hand to rest around her neck, pulling himself up, deepening the kiss further.
A few whistles were heard from around them, causing Ochako to blush and pull away too quickly. She let go of him, forgetting she was holding him up. She reached out to grab him, but realized he was still in the air. She couldn't help but giggle as he was stuttering and steaming from the kiss. She placed her hands together, "Release."
He didn't move.
"Huh?" Mumbled Ochako, visibly confused as to how he was still in the air. So she attempted again. And again. But nothing changed, Izuku still was idle in the air.
"Um, how is Midoriya flying?" Asked Denki, one of the spectators of their heated first kiss. Hanta nudged him with her elbow. "Guess he's on cloud 9 after that kiss, huh?" Causing a few of the other spectators to laugh. "This seems like a serious matter." Stated Momo, silencing the laughter. "If this isn't Uraraka, then perhaps Midoriya's quirk is acting in a new way again, similar to his blackwhip."
An audible groan was heard from a number of the guys. "Midoriya has can fly now? Man, that quirk of his is too op." Complained Denki, gaining him an earjack into his gut. "I think it's pretty manly. Maybe thats why it took until he was in highschool for his quirk to manifest, it was too powerful before hand." Added Eijiro, wrapping an arm around Katsuki's shoulder. "Get off me shitty hair!" Katsuki then looked to Izuku, still red faced and confused.
Izuku was a complete mess. Not only did the girl of his dreams sweep him off his feet, literally, but he also was flying. Flying! His eyes were focused on one thing currently, the tall, see-through figure standing behind everyone. She was built, her face and hair looking almost like his mom's. She wore a black suit, with yellow gloves and a white cape. Her hands were pressed to her face, moving her mouth up into a smile, before fading away.
That was Nana Shimura. He had manifested Float.
Concentrating, he slowly lowered himself, landing in front of Ochako, where he had been before she dipped him. "Soooo?" She asked, dragging out the 'o'. "So?" He asked, completely and utterly confused on what to do next. "So, how about we go to my room and we talk this out. Without the peanut gallery?" Ochako asked, nodding her head towards the group of classmates all watching them. Izuku smiled, "I'd like that."
"Aww, no fair. I wanted to see you guys get all flustered confessing your undying love." Pouted Mina, receiving a pat on the head by Eijiro. As Izuku and Ochako were leaving, he gave a nod to Katsuki, confirming his suspicion about the new quirk. The commons were now silent, everyone staring awkwardly at each other. Well it was silent, until Mina gained a wide and evil smile.
"Well, now that Ochako has confessed~" Sheoved her gaze to Kyoka and Momo, both seeming to combust. Denki looked over to Kyoka. "You like someone. Dang they must be pretty lucky." Shoto also had something to say about it all. "Congratulations Yaoyorozu. I hope this person will accept you feelings."
Mina began to die of laughter, everyone else with a brain that could understand the situation following suit.
