So this is my 1st fanfiction ever. I hope it's alright.

Dinner?

POV: Ochaco, Wednesday

It had been months since we all graduated. We'd all grown so close in our years at UA that watching everyone scatter to the wind was bittersweet. Sure, we're all making our way in the hero world, but I miss my friends. Well, one in particular.

That's why I ended up on the ceiling when I read his text, "Hey Uraraka-San! It's been way too long since we talked. I hope you're getting settled with your hero work. Would you like to maybe get dinner with me?"

OK, ok. I know it's been a few weeks since I last talked to Deku. That's probably why I'm overly excited right now. I gathered myself a bit, "Release!" Now pacing around my new apartment I replied, "That sounds great! I hope you're settling in too! How about this Friday at 8 in Kamino? There's a new ramen shop that's supposed to be good!" I pressed send and held my breath.

I didn't have to wait long thankfully. "That sounds great! It's near my new apartment too! I should be done with my patrol by then. Just send me the address later! Can't wait to see you!" His reply seemed so excited, but I shouldn't read too much into it. I had worked so hard to keep my crush on the back burner, since becoming heroes was so important to both of us. Of course, now we are. Maybe that means we'll have some time for…"Ah! Come on Ochaco! Get it together!" I lightly slapped my cheeks.

POV: Izuku, Wednesday

I exhaled with a bit of a huff as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket. "Well, I did it!," I exclaimed as I threw my fist in the air. "Ah, I take it she said yes then?," Iida calmly asked.

"Yeah, we're meeting Friday for dinner in Kamino ward at 8 at a ramen place." I grinned at my accomplishment until I saw Iida furrow his brow at me. "Are you certain you made it clear you were asking her on a date?" "Huh? O-of c-course!" Iida pinch the bridge of his nose, "That does not inspire much confidence. However, I do not foresee it being much of an issue either way."

I scratched my head a bit, "Why would you say that?" He straightened his glasses and looked me in the eyes, "I've had a suspicion Urarakakun has harbored feelings for you since our 1st year attending UA." I failed to hide my shock and threw my arms over my head as I jumped back, "W-what!? What would make you say that? It's been so long since out 1st year now and she's never said anything! Why would she keep quiet about it if that were true? Unless! Maybe she was worried about rejection, or-or hindering our hero careers? Now that I'm thinking about it, why did you keep quiet if you knew!? How should I act? Should I-"

Iida gave a little cough to interrupt my verbal stream of consciousness that was pouring forth. "Because Midoriya-kun, it's not my place to speak for her. And I'm sure she had her reasons for holding back all those years. Just be yourself and I'm positive everything will be fine."

I couldn't hold back the slight blush forming across my cheeks. "Thanks. You're a good friend." He took a sip of his latte, "You're very welcome. I'm glad to help."

POV: Ochaco, Thursday

Was texting Mina for advice a mistake? My phone did not stopped chiming with messages for over an hour. She was convinced it's a date. Which is how I ended up with her today, shopping for an outfit.

"OH MY GOD THOUGH! You have to try this one on!" Mina was excitedly pushing a black, halter dress with lacy details into my hands. "You don't think it would be a bit much? It just seems a little, forward for me?"

She threw her hand on her hip, "Girl, at the end of the night do you want a kiss, or a handshake? Cause, this dress says kiss." Can you die from blushing too hard? She pushed it into my hands again. "Just try it on ok? You've held back your feelings for him for years now. You both deserve this!"

I nodded my head and walked to the dressing room. Once I got the dress on, I had to admit it is flattering. I opened the door, "Alright, you win. I want that kiss." "EEEEEEEEEEEE! YOU LOOK SO GOOD! With this dress, you're gonna get it for sure!" Mina hopped in place before pushing me back into the dressing room. "Ok, dress down, shoes and accessories to go! Get dressed and let's get mission 'Green Tea' complete!"

Mission green tea? Did she seriously just say that? I got dressed and we finished up our shopping and grabbed some mochi to make out day complete.

Mina leaned forward on one of her hands, propped up on her elbow, "He's really grown up super handsome! He was always a cutie, but dang!" "M-Mina!" I squeaked. She giggled, "No worries, I'm not interested, just making an observation. He's also managed to get into the top 20 heroes in only a few months! You picked quite the man to fall in love with! We're all rooting for you."

Even though my blushing was out of control, I managed not to make myself float. In the biggest voice I could muster, "Thanks. He really is amazing." It came out as barely audible over the chatter around us. Texting Mina for advice wasn't a mistake at all.

And there's the 1st chapter! I hope I did ok!
