Day 1: A Wish Upon A Star

Heights Alliance, the current home of the students of UA. It was past midnight and many have gone to sleep. In the building designated for class 1A, Izuku Midorya was heading back to his room via the stairs. He was about to enter the hallway for the second floor when he heard the movement from above.

"Urakaka-san?" Izuku whispered worriedly.

She seemed distressed and being the heroic person that he is, could not leave her like that. So, he followed her to the roof. Keeping his distance until he deemed it necessary to reveal his presence.

Ochako leaned on the railing looking up at the stars. Her mind playing treasured moments of her best friend. Her emotions have become uncontrollable at times. The events leading to now had caused changes in her that she could not understand or denies.

"Aoyama-kun, you baka," Ochako vented.

'Aoyama!?' Izuku thought from his hiding place. His face had taken a panicked and hurt expression. His heart clenched and tears were falling from his eyes.

"I was doing just fine until you pointed it out," Ochako said.

'Huh?' Izuku thought. 'Did Aoyama-kun say something to her?'

"Ugh!" Ochako groaned frustratedly. Pulling her hair. "My feelings are all jumbled up! I can't think straight anymore! Argh! What am I supposed to do!?"

'Uraraka-san,' Izuku called in his mind. He took a step towards her but froze when he heard her next words.

"I have to keep my feelings for Deku-kun down," Ochako unknowingly admitted. "I can't let this distract either of us."

'Eh?' Izuku thought as his brain overclocked trying to process her words. Trying to find different meanings to her words.

"Fine!" Ochako pouted meekly as she rested her chin on her arms. Sighing in defeat. "Maybe Mina was right. Maybe I do love him."

'Love!?' Izuku repeated in his mind. Jaw slacked and a flatlined sound echoed through him. His mind reached a critical error and hit a blue screen.

For a few minutes, they stayed like that. Izuku staring at her in utter shock and disbelief. Ochako connecting the stars to resemble his face or just using the night sky to replay moments in her mind.

'She likes me!' Izuku thought finally getting over the shock. 'Uraraka-san likes me! Wait? Why me? I'm Deku. Useless, plain, nerdy and 'constantly injuring himself' Deku.'

"You're just too sweet, kind, determined and heroic," Ochako said to herself as she drew imaginary lines in the sky. Unknowingly countering said boy's line of thoughts. "I just can't help but find something endearing about you. You don't make it that hard either. You've been amazing since the day we met. If only you knew."

Izuku was dumbfounded, Here was a girl that liked him. Here was someone willing to accept him for who he is. He could not help but feel a sense of gratitude towards her. An emotion swelled inside him and his legs moved unconsciously.

"Oh! A shooting star!" Ochako said. Pointing towards the trail that the star had left behind. "A wish! A wish! I need to make a wish!"

She thought for a second. What should she wish for? Her parents needed money. The class needed to stop getting attacked. Everyone's safety. She could have wished for any of those things but with her emotions running rampant, she clasped her hands.

"I wish that I could tell Deku-kun how I feel and that we can be together," She said before her mind could think rationally. 'Ah! What the hell did I just wish for!? Bad Ochako!'

"And I hope that we'll be very happy together," Izuku said from a few feet behind her. His head bowed, tears falling from his eyes and a smile on his face.

"Deku-kun!?" Ochako said in surprise and embarrassment. She tried to turn around but she tripped causing her to fall backwards. "Eep!"

Crackling sounds filled the air as an emerald streak of electricity was left from where he was. Losing control of One for All for a split second causing an indent on the floor. His bones started to creak but he did not care.

Uraraka had braised herself for the pain. She half expected to fall off the ledge and was about to use her quirk on herself. A warm feeling and a gust of wind turned her world into a blur. When it came back into focus, her cheeks heated. There stood her Deku carrying her bridal style with a smile that threatened to split his face.

"Sorry for going crazy with my quirk there," Izuku repeated from memory and tried to imitate her smile from back then. "I just think it would have been a bad omen if you tripped, right?"
