Here's another MHA fic for you. I've thought about doing this one for a while.
Izuku and Ochako have a date coming up, but there's a small problem. Izuku doesn't know the first thing about girls, and Ochako doesn't know the first thing about dating. How can these two get past this and make the date a success? That's where a few others from Class 1-A decide to lend our struggling lovebirds a helping hand. Izuku may even have more problems to deal with than landing his first date. Also, expect interaction among the other characters.
It was supposed to be an ordinary day. She didn't know what would happen or how he'd respond. Without hesitation, Ochako Uraraka rushed to the classroom.
"Need to hurry." Uraraka sprinted ahead. She knew today was supposed to be important. 'This time, I'm going to talk to him.'
Just then, Izuku stood there seeing someone running up. Trying to see who it was, he panicked.
"Uraraka? Wha-"
Without realizing it, Ochako bumped into him and used her Quirk to make Izuku float in midair.
Izuku seemed frantic at first. "Uh, think you can you get me down?"
"Oh, gosh. Sorry about that, Deku. I was hoping to see you, but not like this." she nervously laughed.
"This feels kind of familiar, doesn't it? I thought you wouldn't mind me trying to slow you down."
"This is familiar, seeing as how I'm the one who said I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you when you tripped that one time."
Both couldn't help but laugh. The day went by pretty mundane, but when it came time for Class 1-A to go all-out on the track, those with greater muscle than the others were still in it. Since Kirishima seemed to be taking a few hits, his hardening Quirk greatly reduced any damage dealt to him. Ojiro's use of his tail was able to give him the lead a few times. Sato, Midoriya and Shoji whose extra arms definitely came in handy for the course this time, didn't rely on their Quirks, but their own muscles to push through.
Midoriya knew he wasn't the biggest or the strongest, but could hold his own very well. What would happen next would make him feel like he was strong enough to handle anything. Since no one finished the course in the allotted time, that left a cause for concern with not only Aizawa, but the students, too.
As classes wrapped up, Aoyama, Mineta, Ojiro, Shoji and Midoriya were trailing the halls. It was then a few of the guys got an idea. A real display of strength, one that would determine the strongest in the class. The multi-armed and tailed fighters decided there should be some kind of competition.
"I've got it. How about a free for all or even a small tourney between the strongest boys in the class?" Ojiro suggested.
"Not bad. But how many of us are going to be in it?" Mezo asked.
"Yeah, there are some of us that are insanely strong. Shoji, you crushed the grip strength test on the first day no problem, but I couldn't even throw a ball without breaking my finger." said Izuku.
"Look at it this way, Midoriya. You're the survivor in the class. You've come back from situations that none of us could even imagine." The multi armed hero said in his defense.
"Yeah, the USJ Invasion, the Sports Festival, the midterm against All Might, summer training, now switching up your fighting style. You're definitely stronger than us. And that's why we want you to spar with us. People all over town considered your match in the top 8 to be a major highlight; the most talked about and most streamed match of the event online." said Ojiro.
"Yeah, but every time I used my power, it always backfired. I just end up hurting myself in the end. When I rescued Uraraka during the entry test, when I finally stood up to Kacchan, the fight against Todoroki, the list goes on. The main reason I now utilize my Quirk in my legs is because my arms took too much backlash. The doctors said if I overdo it, I'll completely lose the use of my arms." Reminiscing his trials left him almost uneasy.
"But now you've got a fresh resolve and a killer new costume! We've all seen it." Mineta called out.
"Not to mention you've also had some impressive strides." Izuku felt more confident in his abilities. "Okay, if you insist, I'm in. How many of us are doing this again?
"Basically you, Sato, Ojiro, Kirishima and Shoji as far as we know. You seem to be the strongest physically." Aoyama suggested.
"Yeah, Bakugo only won Sports Day because Midoriya and Iida overworked Todoroki, so let's not add either of them. Not to mention first thing he'd do is slam Midoriya's face in." Minoru added nervously.
"I'm standing right here, Mineta..." Deku said in a slump knowing he had a point. The shortest one of them quickly noticed.
"We'll see if we can get the others to agree." The tailed martial artist seemed to be looking forward to it.
Izuku was at a standstill. "Look there. Isn't that Uraraka?" He couldn't help but stare, knowing how important she was to him.
"Come on, just keep looking. He has to still be here." She felt like giving up right there. After searching every hall, she didn't realize she'd be in for a surprise.
"She's looking for someone? And why do I feel like only I could hear her? She looks so distressed, though. Maybe I should..." Deku made sure no one could hear him upon his observation as he quietly spoke. People knew he rambled incoherently, but as he spoke, he wanted to be more cautious.
"It's all right, go to her, Midoriya. Shoji, Iida and I saw the way you saved her from that giant robot, now go rescue her again." Yuuga encouraged him. Somehow, he always knew there was real chemistry between them.
"Here goes. I'll meet you guys back at the dorms." He felt his nerves returning, but still pressed on.
The zero gravity girl couldn't help but gaze at who was slowly walking towards her. 'Wait. Isn't that Deku?'
Izuku stopped. "Something wrong, Uraraka?"
"Oh, uh… I was just walking back to the classroom since I forgot something." sounding as nervous as he does normally.
"I'll walk back with you." he smiled.
They made it back to Class 1-A. They had talked about a few random things. Once Ochako found what she had gone back for, she turned around nervously toward the always shy Deku.
"Say, Deku. You're not busy, are you?" Her hands slightly fidgeted.
"Not too busy. You wanted to do something?" the shy one asked.
"Sure, but I want it to be just us. Maybe someplace nice so we can talk."
'Holy whoa, is she actually asking me out on a date?' "Like a… Like a-" He felt like he was overheated.
"I-If it's okay." Ochako hesitated.
"Sure it's okay."
"Then I'll let you know when we can plan our day together."
"It's a date." He simply just blurted the words he thought he'd be the last person to say, only to feel the butterflies flapping uncontrollably.
'Wow, I have a date with…? He must really like me!' The redness in her face also increased. She didn't expect any part of what happened. "Thanks, Deku." Without a word, she scurried off. And Deku could feel his heart rate not getting any slower.
Well, that's the first chapter. I've already started writing the next one. Here's a quick question for you. About the face off between the boys, do you want the five to fight all at once or the winner among the four gets to challenge Izuku? Also, I am aware I made both unaware of what to do on a date, so I will have a few other classmates willing to help them out. Let's see if you can guess who I'm thinking of using in the reviews.
