Ochaco was excited, like always to meet up with Midoriya after classes. As class ended she hurriedly gathered her things together. "Hey, Ochaco!" Ochaco turned her head to the familiar voice, it was no other than her good friend Tenya Iida. "Oh hi Iida, I was just heading out to meet Deku." A bright smile spread across her face. "That's exactly what I was coming to talk to you about. " Ochaco curiously tilted her head. " Midoriya wanted me to tell you, he wants you to meet him by the training field today, instead of right outside the school." She nodded at the statement, though she thought it was weird that he didn't just text her that, or mention it to her earlier. "Thanks Iida, I'm gonna head over there now, have a great evening." She waved him goodbye and hastley left the classroom.
The petite, short haired brunette was in such a hurry, she didn't realize Bakugo was entering at the exact same moment she was leaving. And, she slammed into the dirty blonde haired boy. Bakugo didn't even flinch when she ran into him, but she took a couple steps back from the force of the impact. "Watch where you're going round face" Bakugo said with an almost snarl to his tone. Ochaco rolled her eyes as she caught her balance. "My name is Ochaco and you should address me as such. Round face is just mean." She placed her hands on her hip with a slight attitude. Bakugo rolled his eyes , but before he could respond she cut him off. "Sorry for running into you like that I'll be more careful next time, I have to get going though. Bye Bakugo." The little brunette turned on her heels and continued on her way in the same hurried fashion. "Yeah you better be sorry!" Bakugo yelled in vein.
As Ochaco made her way to her lover she started thinking about what Iida said. Why would Deku not tell her himself, or just send her a quick text? She thought to herself. He's also been acting kind of stand offish for a while...ever since the attack on the Simulation Joint... Her body caught a chill at the thought. That was not a great time for any of them. A month or so has passed since then and everyone seemed to be doing a lot better, well mostly everyone. It seemed to hit Deku really hard, but she hasn't been sure as to why. She's just tried to be there for him the best she can be. Ok Urauraka, she says shaking her head to physically stop the thoughts. Stop being a negative nancy, Deku would want you to be strong and think happy thoughts. Maybe he's just having an off day and wants to be alone for a while before heading home? A slight blush comes across her face at the thought of them being alone for a while. It had been longer than normal since they'd been intimate, so she was hoping to be able to steal a few lingering kisses later.
Ochaco finally arrived at the door leading outside to the training field. She still remembers her first time out here when Mr. Aizawa tested their abilities with various trials. She smiled at the thought of how far Deku had come. How far they've all come really. She spotted Midoriya's highly noticeable dark green locks further out in the field. "Dekuuuu~~." She cooed, while waving her arms at him. When she saw that he noticed her she sprinted to him. She leaped towards him once she was several feet away and suddenly used her quirk to make herself float. Just as she was over him she pressed her stubby finger tips together releasing herself, and falling into his arms. She knew he'd catch her, he always did when she greeted him like this. She threw her arms around his neck in a tight embrace. "I've wanted to hug you like this all day." She said squeezing him ever tighter.
"Urauraka…." Midoriya's voice was low, and filled with sadness. He let her out of his arms and placed her on the ground, without embracing her in return. Ochaco was very concerned by this. Maybe I took it too far today and annoyed him? I just missed being close to him that's all…"S-sorry Deku, I jus-" "I really need to say something" Midoriya stopped her sentence abruptly with his. "O-okay…" Ochaco said nervously. He had his fists clenched together, and wasn't looking her in the eye. "I...I don't think we should do this anymore." A cool evening breeze was the only sound after that for a moment. "Don't do what Deku…" She feared what he was trying to say. "I don't think we should do us anymore." Tears immediately began to swell in her eyes. "Deku, are you breaking up with me?"
With his eyes still averted from her gaze he slowly nodded. The tears now began to ferociously pour from her doe like eyes. " Bbb-but w-why? Did I d-do something wrong?" She was a blubbering mess. This is the first time he's looked at her since she got out here, "Urauraka no you've never done anything wrong. You are perfect." He stepped closer to her and raised his hand to her cheek, she stepped away. "Deku stop!" She was angry now. Midoriya withdrew his hand. What did he expect, why would she accept his comforting gesture at a moment like this. "You can't expect me to believe that. If it were true I wouldn't be crying like this. I wouldn't feel unbearable pressure in my chest. I want to know the truth!" Her eyes were now puffy and red.
There was a brief moment of silence before he began. "After the attack on the Simulation Joint, with the way thing with down I've lost all my confidence." His fists clenched once again, tighter this time. " I'm not strong enough. I'm not good enough. Not good enough to be a hero, not good enough to be at UA…" He hesitated for a moment, "not good enough to be yours Urauraka…" At this moment Ochaco was brimming with different emotions heartache, anger, confusion, frustration. "Deku…" she couldn't look at him right now, it made her too upset. " You are being so selfish, making this decision on your own, but if this is what you really want I'm not gonna beg you to reconsider. She couldn't take staying out here with him anymore. "I'm going home...goodbye Izuku." She turned a being to sprint away before he could say anything else to break her heart further.
Midoriya felt horrible. Any time before when she would use his first name, it was the sweetest sound to his ears. She'd say it when they made love, or had a heartfelt moment. But, this was for the best. She deserves so much more than who he was right now. A man who can't even control his quirk to save others.
