The next morning wasn't much better as her sleep was interrupted between her own concerns that plagued her from the events of the day before, the muttering of her family concerning the same issue for the night, and friends messaging her on several different platforms. She allowed herself moments of peace through a night of turmoil. She attempted to recall the events of last night. The final message she had received was from Ochako which simply read:
Would you like to meet up tomorrow? I'm worried after everything that happened and being stuck in the house is not helping.
Tsuyu typed purposely, and deliberately to try to finish this final thought and drift off as she recalled.
Sure. We will decide on details tomorrow.
Her phone buzzed, in an unusually quick response for any human, Tsuyu decided that along with Gravity manipulation the girl must have lightning texting capabilities as her second quirk.
You are the best! Thank you, Tsuyu! :))))))))))
Tsuyu decided that it was probably best to not stick around the house too long as she was sure that her parents would lose their mind, then have her lose hers with the questioning. She grabbed her floppy white hat, white dress that cut off just above knee length, and a green cardigan. The days were very mild but too mild for her liking. She quickly said goodbye to her family and started texting her friend. Ochako quickly respond, after much of the discussion revolving around where they should meet and cost, they decided on a small cafe that Tsuyu knew.
Tsuyu began the walk to the train station with the pleasant conversation of Ochako with the texts, but those quickly subsided. She made her way to thee much more crowded than the night before platform. She patiently waited for her train, as her mind began to wander to the conversation between her and Deku, and Her and Recovery Girl. She focused on her conversation with the nurse who seemed convinced that she was falling for Midoriya. The conversation seemed fresh as she pondered the pints she made. She came to several conclusions if anything was to ever happen whether it was Deku or someone else.
First: Civilians would always come first regardless of Circumstances.
Second: Mild PDA was alright. Hand holding, hugs, the occasional quick kiss, kiss on the cheek, she was okay with.
Third: Nothing would stop her from her ultimate goal. Regardless of the goal or person.
Fourth: Dealing with people regardless of who it was would be as it always have been, The blunt and forthright nature everyone has come accustomed to with her.
She supposed that this is what Recovery Girl would want to know and understand. As, she concluded her thought the train came to halt in front of the platform and everyone broaded to their various destinations. She unluckily wasn't able to sit, but had prime view to the outside world from the door's window. The train began to move and the world shifted around them. Tsuyu quickly fell into a daydream of the world she was in.
"Froppy, you need to be more careful. We don't know what that thing can do to you." Uravity yelled at her from meters above her.
"Don't worry, I've got this." She shoots her elongated tongue as a method to take on the foe, but the villain grabs her tongue and pulls her forward. The villain's sharp teeth and foul breath flood her senses.
"SM-" She sees a figure rise into the air. "ASH" And the villain becomes a nonexistent plup.
"All Might?" She looks up blinded by the sun above the figure. The figures laughs wholeheartedly.
"No, But we do have dinner with the old man thursday. Remember Dear?" The word ring in her head and she can't make sense of the world for a moment.
Someone taps her on her shoulder trying to get her to move from the door. The door is open and she is looking at another crowded platform and realizes she daydreamed through the trip. She walks off of the train and the platform to the street. The city smells and sounds assault her senses. She walks casually as her body falls into a rhythm with her surroundings. The city is modern and has the occasional repair construction going on. But there aren't many major projects. The cars and motorcycles on the road next to the pedestrians are clearly enjoying a smooth ride. Tsuyu also notes that sidewalk is pristine condition and lacks very little wear. As her walk continues she figures that the reason for the condition is the constant repair due to attacks for some reason for another and the minor damage they cause.
She arrives at her destination as the walls glow with a white with a double blue strips around the wall that highlight the interior nicely. The seats all match the aesthetic. The cushion are all a blue and the backs are white. The side to the cafe have booths pressed against the glass for people and the floor space has been dotted with tables meant for either two or four people. The countertop is blue while the counter itself matches the white of the walls. Tsuyu decides to take one of the unclaimed booths. She figured that the Ochako would be getting there soon and wouldn't mind if she got comfortable by basking in the sunlight that was bursting through the window warming Tsuyu up. The establishment is not very busy but does have a few seats that have been occupied. Within minutes the bubbly girl clad in a pink shirt and blue jeans almost floated into the shop.
"Tsuyu!" She called excitedly drawing some attention from the other cafe-goers.
"Hey, Ochako-chan." She said blandly but happily. She got up to go order and Ochako followed suit. Ochako order a sweet coffee of some kind a name Tsuyu didn't recognize. Tsuyu order her usual drink from the cafe, a sweetened chilled tea with flavored jelly pieces in it. After, receiving their drinks. They both returned to their seat and began sipping their drinks.
"How are you after everything?" Ochako said setting the cup back on the table in between the two girls and smiling.
"I'm fine, I was uninjured, and went to see Izuku and make sure he was okay." Tsuyu nodded as she raised the cup to her lips again.
"That's great! I heard he saved you and the little pervert." Ochako scowled.
"He did." Said blandly.
"He really is a hero." Ochako simply beamed at the thought of his actions. Tsuyu simply nodded. "What do you think of him?" Ochako blurted quickly.
"He is a good person, intelligent, gentle, determined, ambitious, and has potential." Tsuyu said tapping her finger to the corner of her mouth. Ochako nodded.
"Definitely and cute too." She let out a small giggle and sipped her drink. "I think he likes someone in the class but won't say anything."
"I would disagree, not to say he doesn't find any girls attractive, but I think he is too focused on being a hero. The relationship, social life, and hero life are hard enough individually. Then balancing them is extremely difficult, but he also has the added bonus of learning to control a quirk. I think his focus is elsewhere." Tsuyu said tapping the corner of her mouth more urgently, not sure why. Ochako smiled and nodded.
"You know, one thing that hurts your personality." Ochako continued nodding.
"Huh?" Tsuyu said through sipping on her tea, munching on a few of the jellies.
"You analyze things that are unanalyzable." Ochako said smiling.
"How so?" Tsuyu set her cup down on the table.
"Love, crushing, liking, friendship, any emotion really is irrational. It transcends reason and logic no matter how much you think you can't think it. It just happens, I think that is why they call them feelings." Ochako eyes burned with passion and conviction. Tsuyu nodded comprehending the statement by her bubbly partner. After a long silence Tsuyu finally broke the silence.
"I don't quite understand. Obviously, feelings have to be involved but why is that a flaw?" Tsuyu tilted her head.
"Let me ask you this. Who comes to mind when you I say future?" Ochako pointed her finger at Tsuyu.
"Me." Tsuyu croaked.
"Alright, bad question." Ochako shook her head trying to disperse her poor judgment in phrasing. "Have you ever had a dream of someone of something you didn't expect and are not explainable?" The girl crossed her arms in silent victory.
"I have." Tsuyu brought her finger to her chin and sipped her drink again.
"Can you tell me?" Ochako quickly sat forward elbows holding up her smiling face from the table. Tsuyu told her of the dream and the daydream of earlier. "I have an idea of why."
"Please, enlighten me." Tsuyu croaked as she looked quizzically at her friend behind her usual blank stare. Ochako sat back tapping her finger to her cheek.
"You have a crush and feelings you aren't ready to admit to yourself." Ochako said confidently.
"Hmm, I guess it plausible, But the dreams seem a little extreme for just that. Ribbit." Tsuyu let her nerves get to her.
"Yep. but who knows. Maybe, it is just how your brain is trying to tell you. I'm not sure." At that Tsuyu's phone buzzed. Her phone screen lit up and it said Midoriya across the notifications.
"One moment, Ochako-chan." She said as opening and typing the messages.
"Hey, I was wondering if you could go to lunch with me today? I'm fully healed." The messaged seemed sincere.
"No, I'm with Ochako." After thinking that was pretty harsh she responded again. "How about dessert? I have to eat with my family but, I'll be free after than."
"Sounds great! Meet you at the Train stop to the city?"
"Sounds like a plan." She nodded making a mental note.
"Sorry, Ochako- chan. I had to respond." Tsuyu smiled internally at her friend.
"No worries. We should get going. We could do this more often if you want." Ochako smiled. Tsuyu nodded. The two girls left the cafe, content with the day. They both faded into the crowd into their general direction of home.
