So I came up with this idea after seeing the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children trailer. I've never seen the movie though, just the trailer so I was inspired to write this.

I wrote this a while back, so it's kind of rushed and chopped. I apologize in advance.


Ochako really hates her gloves and shoes. Like really, really hates them.

Though she can't complain too much. The shoes do keep her from floating off into space as do the gloves she wears.

She probably shouldn't complain too much. Some of the people have it worse than she does. One kid has to wear weights otherwise he'd destroy everything he touched. Another has to constantly drink the special milk brews otherwise she'd burn her mouth. Another can't stay in complete darkness or he'd go out of control.

They all had their problems and she certainly respects that not everyone has to put as much work into keeping their quirks in check.

Though it does get frustrating to have to monitor herself and when she finally decides to give in to the constant check ups and the heavy accessories…

She ends up forgetting to put her gloves back on.

"Dammit! If you don't get me down from here, i'm going to blast you into space. You won't have to worry about forgetting your fucking shoes! Hey! Are you listening? Get me down, now!"

It's not her fault really. They know she forgets sometimes and they usually check to make sure she's wearing her gloves before letting her handle stuff or touching someone. It's not her fault Katsuki forgot.

"Get me down!"

"Hold on!" Ochako shouts looking up in the trees.

Floating upside down from the tree near the top was Katsuki. Katsuki was a hardheaded and prideful boy who usually didn't try to associate himself with others. Ochako, at first, had avoided him as his temper was explosive as was his quirk. Katsuki had to wear gloves on his hands when handling things or he'd blow them or himself up if he got too agitated.

Or annoyed.

Or embarrassed.

Most of the children at the Home avoided him, and he seemed lonely at first. Some of the strong willed children talked to him and he seemed to loosen up, if even a little, around them.

Ochako then decided to befriend him.

It was rocky at first with Katsuki unconsciously or maybe purposefully setting off explosions and causing mayhem. Eventually, he became less explosive and their conversations usually ended up with black eyes or bruises.

Ochako thought he was making great progress.

That was until he decided it'd be a great to try and flip her.

Ochako had no idea what had possessed him to do such a thing. Someone probably taunted him and, seeing it as a challenge, decided to do it. Because of it, Katsuki was now stuck up in a tree.

Ochako knew that climbing up the tree as she was now was not an option. The weight of her shoes would probably break the branch.

So she decided to take them off.

"What in the world are you doing?!" Katsuki yelled.

Ochako ignored him in favor of jumping up to move higher.

"Stupid! What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to make us both float out of orbit?"

Ochako skilfully made her way through the branches. Using tree branches as the occasional booster, Ochako finally reached the top of the tree.

She held out her hand.

"Grab on," she says with her hand out, waiting expectantly.

"Hell no," Kastuki immediately replies, holding onto the branch tighter.

Ochako sighs and, not for the first time, she wonders why she wanted to be friends with him in the first place.

Ochako reached out and as she expects due to him not having his gloves on, the branch started sizzling and it cracks. Just before she touches him as he starts to frantically reach for another branch, his hand brushes hers and he falls, pulling her along with him, crashing to the ground.

When Ochako wakes up next, she finds Katsuki, surprisingly, standing at her bedside.

"H-hey," He says and Ochako almost laughs because Katsuki sounding so timid is so out of character. "I, uh," he scratches at a bruise on his arm and Ochako notices that he's wearing his gloves.

She smiles. Though she wished that Izuku came, she's happy Kastsuki showed up.

"It's alright. But, please," she holds up her hand that he had burnt during the fall. "Try not to get so cranky, alright, Big Baby?"

Ochako sees him twitch slightly and her smile widens when he just huffed, crossed his arms, and turned away.

Ochako really doesn't think it's her fault.

"And maybe do something about your overall attitude. It makes you unattractive. He's never gonna fall for you like that."

The room ends up charred and there's several different items floating in the air.

She really hates her shoes and gloves.

But getting back at Katsuki was worth it.
