Author's Notes – You guys are really making me happy and you're inspiring me to write more. Thank you so much for reading my story and thanks to all the ones that reviewed, especially the reviews that criticized my plot and writing in a truly constructive and non-demeaning way. If you guys don't stop being supportive then I will have to redundantly tell you "thank you" each chapter :D
So in case you couldn't tell I'm trying to update this on a weekly basis. Check my profile page if you want a specific date of when to expect a new chapter or if I've failed to update within a week (I may have written down a reason as to why). And next week I'm planning on releasing TWO chapters! I will not spoil anything but there will be a chapter 4 and a chapter I will title as an "Interlude" that has nothing to do with the main plot and is considered a side plot. The events in the "Interlude" have already happened by the time of this chapter and chapter 4's release but I decided to write a different sort of piece. And of course, reading the interlude is not mandatory as it doesn't have anything to do with Izuku or Ochaco and isn't entirely relative to their relationship.
Yeah yeah I hear you, enough rambling; I get it. You would think Izuku is the one writing this, huh? Anyways, Welcome to Chapter 3! I hope you enjoy!
ALSO, THIS CHAPTER IS SUPER FLUFFY. You have been warned.
Chapter 3 – Work Studies
Ochaco had technically spilled her feelings to Izuku on the second day of the second term; a Tuesday. It has been six days since that day and an entire week since the timid boy had asked the infamous question, 'Do Heroes date?' Many first year students at U.A. Highschool have begun to bring up the aspect of relationships within classes and with each other. Couples began to spring up all over and Class 1-A was no exception to that statement. Kyoka Jiro and Denki Kaminari were officially a couple; they went on a date to a concert over the weekend. Mina Ashido had a crush on Eijiro Kirishima but Eijiro seemed to have a thing for Momo Yaoyorozu. That awkward triangle was made a square because Momo was interested in Shoto Todoroki while both Toru Hagakure and Tsuyu Asui haven't been very vocal in who they like, if anyone.
And then there is Ochaco Uraraka and Izuku Midoriya…
Almost everyone in the class knows at least one is interested in the other and are willing to help him or her obtain the goal, but it's hard doing so when the both of them become bashful when bringing it up around the other. Ochaco insists she tell Izuku when she thinks she's completely ready while Izuku continuously rambles to himself during every conversation with the girl. He knows she likes him and wants her to confess first but tries to act like the gentleman and tries confessing first instead; the girl doesn't know if Izuku likes her or not but she wants to at least air her feelings out him and let him decide. It's hard for both of the teens, however, as it takes more courage than they are used to expending which has made communication and simple interactions quite challenging. Thus the two lovers have been avoiding each other, at least to the point of them being alone.
"It is Monday, my Hero colleagues! Today we shall form pairs to combat villains and relieve the citizen's dismay for the next month! I will surely miss all of you deeply during this time but we can keep in touch using our group chat!" Tenya Iida voiced throughout the classroom.
"NO! NO TEXT!" Katsuki Bakugo yelled in disagreement. "I won't see any of you bastards for the next month! I don't want to be reminded you guys still exist through text!"
"What about me, buddy?" Eijiro questioned from two aisles over.
"SHUT UP!" Katsuki replied, putting his feet up on the desk and proceeding to kick Toru in the back of the head.
"Bakugo! Your feet are on my head..." the invisible teen muttered in annoyance.
"You don't have a head!" the fiery blonde retaliated in disgust.
Toru crossed her arms and if you could see her face then the expression established on it would not be happy.
"Hey, Midoriya, do you want to team up with me this month?" Minoru Mineta asked from behind the student with green hair.
Izuku looked up from his desk to glance over at Ochaco who was also staring at the tabletop and spoke, "I don't know, I was thinking of asking Uraraka."
"Oh, you mean your girlfr- oof", Minoru started until Momo kicked his seat from behind. He continued, "I gotcha'..."
Izuku frowned while looking at the teen with a gravity controlling Quirk. She is really cute… He thought to himself, biting his lip in nervousness.
Ochaco then looked over and saw the boy staring at her. She gave a warm smile and slightly waved as he quickly looked away.
"Are you going to ask Midoriya?" a voice piped in from in front of Ochaco, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hmm?" she hummed, looking up to see Tenya finally in his seat looking behind to his friend. "Oh, hehe, I don't know. Should I?"
Koji, in a seat to the left of Tenya, rapidly nodded.
"Yeah, what Koda said", Tsuyu agreed to the girl in back.
"Wouldn't it be awkward, though? Like I thought we were getting rooms together with our internships", Ochaco said, addressing the situation.
"Even better!" Mina exclaimed from the front but behind Yuga Aoyama.
Ochaco blushed and smacked her puffy cheeks. "You guys aren't helping..." She muttered.
"Well I certainly don't wanna sleep with him", Tenya claimed.
"SLEEP WITH HIM?!" Ochaco shouted bringing her hands to her face again, causing her Quirk to react and send her floating into the air.
At that moment, Aizawa entered the room and asked in a stern voice, "Why is there a girl floating in my classroom?"
"AGGHHHH!" Ochaco screamed as she quietly whispered to herself 'release' and ended up on top of Yuga's desk.
"Why, bonjour mademoiselle", the flashy French student said as Ochaco hopped off the teen's desk and moped back to her own.
"All right, guys, form your pairs. You leave in thirty minutes", the groggy teacher commanded.
"THIRTY MINUTES?!" the class shouted in unison.
"Yup, hope you got your groups decided. All of you need to be out the door and to the front in twenty, you're leaving in thirty", he said with a sip of his coffee and a seat at his desk.
"YO, KIRISHIMA! ESSKEDDIT!" Denki gleefully outcried, extending his hand for a high five toward his friend with red, spiky hair.
Eijiro returned the high five and brought it down to some weird bromantical handshake.
"What the hell, Denki?" Kyoka exerted as she held her arms in a disapproving manner and gave her boyfriend a questionable look.
"What?" the electrical teen asked.
"You said last week we were gonna group!" she replied, slamming a hand down onto his desk.
"It's okay, Jiro, we can group!" Momo suggested, giving her friend an approving thumbs up.
"Yeah, dude, leave some room for the boys!" Denki said with a laugh.
With an explicit mannerism of the middle finger she got up from her desk and sat on Momo's.
"I saw that, Jiro." Aizawa confirmed with his eyes completely closed.
"Sorry, Mr. Aizawa..."
Okay...okay… Lemme just go over there and ask him before someone else does. I mean what's the worst that can happen? He rejects me? "Oh sorry, Uraraka, I couldn't stand to see you get hurt with me around not protecting you. I respectfully decline your offer." "Oh that's okay, Deku, I'll just respectfully ask you to marry me!" "Oh my! Oooh Uraraka I love you let's make-out and go on a cruise to Hawaii!" Oh shoot...I don't really know how to kiss…
"-URARAKA!" a voice yet again protruded her thoughts.
"H-HUH?! I promise I'll learn how to kiss!" Ochaco claimed as she looked around nervously.
"Uh… W-Why would you... need to learn to k-kiss…?" a familiar voice spoke up.
Ochaco looked to see Izuku standing next to her desk with papers in his hand and seemingly asking a question. "OH! I… uh..."
"Midoriya is asking if you'd like to group up with him this month for the work study", Tenya explained trying to avert the discussion.
"YES!" Ochaco screeched, her voice slightly cracking in the process as the people around her, including Midoriya, laughed. The girl with a short bob haircut cleared her throat and said once more, "Yes, Deku, I would love to!"
With a dorky smile on his face he replied with a joyful, "All right, cool! I hope we have fun and neither of us get hurt or anything. Maybe we can learn a lot this month."
"I hope so, too", Ochaco solemnly replied.
The class spent the last ten minutes talking amongst themselves trying to figure out who to pair with and before they knew it another ten minutes had passed.
"If you're not in a group and you're not Bakugo or Todoroki then you need to be in one", Aizawa stated after opening his eyes and taking a sip of his now significantly cooler coffee.
"What's wrong with Bakugo and Todoroki?" Eijiro asked his teacher.
"They did not earn their provisional Hero license therefore they cannot participate in this internship", the teacher with black, greasy hair replied. "They get to spend the next month with me. Alone."
"Sounds like fun!" Mina pitched in.
"Do I detect sarcasm?" Shoto retaliated from the back of the classroom.
As Mina shrugged with a wide grin on her face she noticed both Yuga and Minoru were still in their seats. "Umm, who're you guys pairing with?"
Yuga's eye twitched and glanced over at Minoru who sat with folded hands across his desk.
"If you guys don't group up and go then I'm expelling you and hope I never see you again", Aizawa condemned with the straightest face one could ever witness.
Bakugo laughed as the boy with grape balls for hair grumbled. Yuga's eye continued twitching but he had the same perfect expression on his face as normal.
Each of the pairs went to the lobby of the school, waiting for a sign of their third year partner. Izuku and Ochaco sat on a bench together completely frozen, as neither of them knew what to say to break the ice that had come over them. Izuku kept opening his mouth as if he was going to say something but always closed it shortly thereafter, never taking his stare off the floor.
Ochaco swallowed and called him out on his hesitation while also acting very nervous, "I, umm, notice you trying to say something. W-What is it…?"
His eyes widened as he stuttered and started, "W-Well, uh… I just really-"
"MIDORIYA, IZUKU? URARAKA, OCHACO?"
"YES!" The pair announced in conjunction.
"I AM YOUR THIRD YEAR PARTNER. THIS WILL BE FUN!" the student exclaimed in such unbearable excitement.
Izuku looked up and noticed it was Mirio from The Big Three. "Mirio! Nice to see you again!"
"You, too, good sir! I am here to teach you, so firstly, let me congratulate you both!" Mirio said in his natural and electric tone.
"Congratulate us?" Ochaco inquired.
"Yeah! Aren't you two...ya-" the third year with blonde hair stopped himself before raising a hand and continuing, "Ah, my bad! HAHA! I forgot."
Izuku and Ochaco looked at each other quizzically then blushed, realizing that was the first time in about a week they looked at their eyes so close like that.
"Adorable..." Mirio muttered to himself, inaudible from the two 'soon-to-be' couple. "All right, gang, let's book us a train. Do not worry, however, I shall pay for the tickets! Follow me!"
Izuku gestured for Ochaco to rise first as the two followed the student Hero who was deemed to be the number one.
The train ride to the office of the pro Hero wasn't too terribly far but it seemed that way as the anxiety got to Izuku while he was sitting so close to Ochaco. Just say it… He thought to himself.
Little did he know the girl had just thought the same thing.
"Umm...you look really… c-cu- NICE. Y-you look nice l-like you're going to save s-someone…!" Izuku stammered, heart beating in his chest like a bass drum.
Ochaco choked a little on her own saliva as her face reddened, the color glazing over her already rosy cheeks. "OH! Wow, thanks Deku! I-I'm just wearing my school uniform! Hehehe..." she forced herself to say.
"Uhhhh right! I-I mean, it just… ya know… fits you nicely. And you j-just look, I don't know, really..." CUTE. PRETTY. EVEN 'GREAT' WORKS. JUST SAY IT.
"You said it last week..." Ochaco muttered, folding her hands making doubly sure all five fingers weren't touching.
"H-huh?! W-what do you mean?!" Izuku erratically questioned while clearing his throat and readjusting himself.
Ochaco's heart was beating a mile a minute; if the two Heroes-in-training could hear each other's heartbeat it would sound like an 808 bass drum concert.
I have to say it! Ochaco thought.
No! I… can't let her confess! It has to be me! Izuku thought.
The gravity girl opened her mouth but Izuku cut her off and said, "OH! T-that, I told you that was Kacchan! Hah, haha..."
"No, Deku..."
"Are you two new at this or something?" Mirio piped in from behind them.
"WHAT? HUH?!" the two exclaimed, looking at the third year student and then each other in the eyes.
They became lost in that sight. Izuku's dark, jade eyes glistened nicely with the shining sun and Ochaco's brown eyes looked as smooth as a creamy mocha on a cold winter's night. Neither could look away as if it was the first time they had ever seen the jewels on their face. This was a moment that didn't want to end for either teen; unspoken words actually can be the true sentence to understanding what another felt. An increasing smile appeared on both faces as each blushed and had an even faster beating heart.
Is...is this what true love feels like? I feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest. It almost… it hurts. The lump in my throat is begging to get out, my hand is itching to touch yours, my lips are quivering to meet yours, my heart is beating to stay… to stay with you and tell you how much I actually care about you. How worried I am when you're not with me and I don't know where you are… and… when you get hurt. The last time I saw you in the hospital I couldn't stand it. Your arm… so bruised and battered and… your entire body. I… I want to hold yours next to mine. I want to tell you how passionate you are. How much of an inspiration you are. How you push me to be the best I can be. How much I LOVE YOU... If only… I could just SAY IT! Ochaco was thinking of everything she wanted to say as her smile trembled and a single tear left her eye as she wiped it and shook her head.
"Uraraka? Are you-" Izuku started.
"I'm fine. Please don't worry about me, you of all people. You… are just so..." Passionate and beautiful… "caring", Ochaco mumbled, closing her eyes.
"W-Well yeah… of course I'm going to care about..." My girlfriend… The greatest girl I've ever met… "my friend..." the boy replied as his smile faded, too.
Oh crap… I did something wrong… Izuku thought.
Oh crap… He's going to think he did something wrong! Ochaco thought.
"Are you guys in the same science class?" Mirio asked from out of nowhere again before continuing, "because you both sure do have chemistry! HAHA!"
Ochaco's smile was brought back as she slightly giggled, and looking over to see Izuku's dumbfounded expression trying to figure out what Mirio was implying made her giggle even more, increasing it to a cute laughter.
"You're such a dork, Deku", she said.
"Well Miss and Mister Dork, get your things together, we get off at the next stop." Mirio commanded as he sat back down into his seat.
Izuku glanced at Ochaco moving a lock of hair behind her ear and gathering her supplies as she looked back up to him once more, as well. They exchanged a smile knowing very well something special happened between them just a moment ago but neither of them understanding how to capitalize on it. To many it was a wasted opportunity. To the two lovers it was recognized as a next step toward something greater in their relationship.
The three U.A. students got off and headed toward the seemingly decrepit building.
"Welp, here is where my, and now your guys', internship resides", Mirio stated with a sense of excitement. "So, just as a prerequisite, make him laugh."
Izuku raised an eyebrow and hummed a, "Huh?"
"Sir Nighteye! He may come off as cold and intimidating but he values a sense of humor", the strong teen affirmed. "Like, don't overdo it but just be amusing. Act as if you're meant to be here to entertain others."
"Wait, Sir Nighteye?! Aww man, I can't believe it! He's awesome! He used to be All Might's sidekick, you know!" Izuku exclaimed in a more exciting tone than Mirio.
"Yeah, haha! It's cool you're a fan, just don't act like that around him", Mirio pleaded.
Izuku nodded in confirmation as the three walked inside and upstairs. At the top of the creaky stairway Mirio informed the students that Sir Nighteye's office is at the end of the hallway and to the left.
"You not coming with us?" Ochaco asked.
"Nah, I need to go back downstairs real quick. I'll be waiting for you when you get done, though. Shouldn't take too long!" the blonde replied with a warm smile as he stepped his way back down the stairs.
As the two students entered the Hero's office the pro, himself, shouted, "STOP!"
They both froze in place, wondering what all the commotion was.
Nighteye turned his chair around, stood, and glared at the first years before him. "You two don't act like you belong here", he concluded.
"I belong here just as much as anyone else", Izuku said with a fierce determination. "...Sir."
Ochaco grinned at Izuku's strong passion yet again and nodded in agreement as Nighteye huffed a single chuckle. "Congratulations, you amused me. Sadly, I'm fairly certain you didn't even mean to."
The ascertained student Hero holding One for All was displeased with the pro's assumption and resolution. "Sir, I am here to sign for an internship. Both me and her are actually."
"Hmph." Nighteye moaned, crossing his shoulders acting in complete disregard. Keeping eye contact with the boy, he started, "I know why you're here. I don't have to like it. I saw both of your sports festival matches and I have one word for you: 'unimpressed.' If you want to work with me for this month you have to meet my high expectations, even if I know you won't."
Izuku said nothing. He just handed the clipboard with the signing sheet to Nighteye.
"I will admit, your resolve is admirable..." he said, snatching the clipboard from the kid's hand. He swiftly signed the paper and announced, "You're dismissed."
Both Izuku and Ochaco bowed and headed for the door until Nighteye said, "Wait, Midoriya, stay for a moment."
The gravity girl frowned but nodded a 'goodbye' to Izuku as she walked out and closed the door.
"Follow me to your room!" Mirio told the girl, startling her in the process. "Haha, sorry, didn't mean to jump up onto ya!"
"Heh, it's fine." Ochaco replied halfheartedly before confirming, "So… uh… Deku and I will be sharing a room?"
"Deku! HAH! What a nice pet name. I'm sure he loves it!" Mirio exclaimed, clapping his hands together as the girl blushed. "Yeah, you will. I'm assuming that won't be a… 'problem'?"
Ochaco looked Mirio in the eye as he winked, her cheeks becoming a brighter shade of pink.
"Hahah, I'm just messing. I just hope the beds aren't too close for you two." he said, opening the door to introduce her to the rooms.
The teen with rosy cheeks became worried, noticing the space of the beds was about two feet, the room itself probably not being bigger than the space of three more of the beds. At least the room came with two wardrobes and two counters.
"And the bathroom is to the right! Well, we'll start tomorrow! You two can rest for today, do whatever, it doesn't matter! Enjoy yourselves!" Mirio explained with energy.
"Thanks, Mirio", Ochaco conveyed toward the elder as she laid her supplies on the left-most bed and blushed about the tight space of the room again.
Back in the office with Sir Nighteye…
"I spoke with Sorahiko and Toshinori, you know", the pro Hero explained.
"Mmkay."
"They spoke highly of you", Nighteye continued.
"Of course they did, Sir", Izuku retaliated with a sense of pride.
Nighteye combed his hand through his green hair and belittled the boy by saying, "You don't deserve One for All… You don't have as much potential as Mirio has."
"Then I'll just have to prove you wrong", said the determined young boy.
"Hmph", the pro hummed again. "You're dismissed."
On one foot the up-and-coming 'symbol of peace' turned around and whisked out the door, surprised to find Ochaco right beside it.
"WOAH! U-Uraraka!" he exclaimed before a sense of dread flooded throughout himself. "Uhh, you didn't hear anything, did you?"
"NO! I… wasn't trying to eavesdrop! I just wanted to greet you as you walked out. Sorry", Ochaco apologized.
"You don't have to apologize, I was just worried you heard something you didn't need to hear." Izuku reaffirmed, trying not to make a big deal out of the situation but seemingly failing.
"Uh… oh! Well… you kinda got me curious now, hehe", the girl said trying to lighten the air.
"H-How about we just go to our room…?" the boy suggested, acting nervously, placing a hand on the back of his neck.
"Sure… um, this way", Ochaco replied visibly nervous as well, though for different reasons.
The two walked down the hallway and entered the small room.
"Oh...wow. The room is. Small", Izuku stated.
Both of the students unpacked their things and tried to settle into the room. After playing on their phones for a little while and chatting normally about random things, thoughts started creeping back into Ochaco's brain. Thoughts that made her heart race again as, for once more, her face fell red and warm. She wondered if there was any way she could ask Izuku how he felt about her without actually asking how he felt.
Figuring he was oblivious enough to the situation, she timidly said the boy's nickname that always perks the hairs on the back of his neck, "Hey… Deku?"
"Mm, yes, Uraraka?" Izuku replied, locking his phone and setting it aside to pay attention to the fascinating teen.
"So… I don't want this to sound weird or anything-"
"Coming from you, nothing sounds weird", he confirmed.
Ochaco bit her lip and blinked nervously as she tried to steady her breaths and calm herself from the boy's accidental goosebump inducing compliment. "Do you know… ahem, do you know what… like, love… feels like? Hmm, I mean, how do you know if you're in love with someone?"
Izuku's eyes widened at the sudden and surprising question as he leaned his head back against the baseboard and thought for a moment. "Well, I feel like if your heart starts racing as fast as a racecar, and if you develop butterflies, and whenever you see them your knees get weak, and you feel a pit at the bottom of your stomach, and if you wish you could tell someone how you feel but can't, and your feelings of compassion are stronger around this person, and-"
He's so cute when he's rambling… I wish I could ramble like that and accidentally tell… HIM MY FEELINGS WAIT. Can… can I really get in the zone and do that?
"-and I can say I love you because I do-" Izuku continued with an absolute nervousness in his voice.
Ochaco, seemingly unaware what words just slipped through the boy's mouth, started, "Yeah I get what you mean. It's hard telling someone your feelings when you have so much of them they're just on the edge of bursting. I mean some people-"
"-Deku…. I… I really love you, okay? I know it has taken me a lot of courage to say this to you, right here, right now, but I'm letting my feelings shine. I want you to know how I feel about you. I've been harboring these feelings for several months now and my heart is going to burst if I don't tell you. So...please, just tell me if you feel the same way so I can… Oh..." Ochaco finally stopped, having completely spilled her heart in the only way she knew how, and the classmate she had fallen for… was asleep.
The girl had a few stray tears fall from her face as she recoiled in the fact another missed opportunity had slipped through her fingers. Her heart had to fight back the emotions for yet again another day. She was reaching her breaking point. Ochaco thought about just getting out of her bed, climbing in with Izuku, waking him, and giving him a passionate kiss at the very moment. Her heart ached at imagining the act. She couldn't… Maybe it wasn't the right time or maybe it just wasn't meant to be, altogether… She didn't want to believe that, however. Not caring if Izuku was now awake or not, she continued talking.
"I admire you, Deku… How you handle yourself and how you help people through their struggles. How emotional you can get in hard times. And… oh~ how it makes my heart beat go faster knowing you're around", she stopped for a moment, wiping another tear and sniffling. "I just wish you could know how I felt. I wish you could be with me forever, how I want you to wrap me around your arms all night, every night. I just wish… you knew how much I loved you. Words just can't express my emotions. I love you, Deku. Do you hear me? Izuku Midoriya, my Deku, I love you. Okay? S-so… just…"
Ochaco sniffled once more as a stream of emotional tears ran down her puffy cheeks. Unable to wipe them all away she tried to say, "I didn't want you seeing me like this, but… I can't stand it, Deku. I love you so much and I want you to love me back… I… I spilled my heart out for you and, I wasted it. I'm…. I wish I was as strong as you… I love you so much…"
The girl with gravity powers had her eyes closed the entire time. She couldn't stand to see anything right now. Her heart ached so much.
"I… love you, too", a soft whisper soothed through Ochaco's ears from directly in front of her. She opened her wet eyes to see a completely nervous teen with nappy hair twiddling his fingers. He smiled as best as he could to reassure the lovestruck teen, looked up, grabbed both of her hands, interlocked them in his, and finally climbed in bed with her and planted a tender kiss on her pink, soft lips. "I love you, Ura- Ochaco…"
"Deku~" Ochaco muttered in a heartfelt manner as all nervousness left her body, going in for another kiss, leaving her breathless. With a hot tingle on Izuku's ear she whispered, "Please… say my name again…"
"O-Ochaco...~" he complied, moving a strand of her hair to look at his newfound love's chocolate colored eyes. "I-I truly…-"
The giddy teen girl giggled at Izuku trying to talk. He knew the poor guy was probably as nervous as she should be right now but she was so in the moment it's like her feelings had just completely taken over. There was no room to think, she just did what her heart wanted to do.
"I truly love you, Ochaco. I'm… I'm sorry it took me so long to come around…" Izuku finally said, clutching her hand as if he planned on holding onto it forever.
"It makes the feeling more worthwhile, I think…" Ochaco replied, touching noses with the boy, breathing heavy and warm air through her lungs as her heart beat raced faster than the speed of light.
"Your heart…" Izuku muttered, his breath now tickling her face. "It's so fast yet so rhythmic."
"It's beating for you~" Ochaco whispered into his ear while also running her hand through the messy green hair.
"There's no reason for it to be… I'm n-not anyone special", he said.
"Deku…don't say that. You're so amazing in every way imaginable…" Ochaco said, placing a hand underneath his chin. "Do I have to recite my entire monologue stating my feelings for you again? Hehe."
"N-No, I guess being this close t-to you is… woah", Izuku muttered as Ochaco scooted even closer, caressing her lips with his once more.
"Deku~ I'm so sorry… I've just wanted this for so long… And your body, your warmth, just you being here…" Ochaco nestled her head into Izuku's chest as her hand wandered over the defined muscles and healing scar tissues on his arms and toned abs. She breathed in acutely and mumbled another, "I love you."
"I love you, too, Ochaco~"
Author's Notes – I hear some of you thinking to yourself "FINALLY!" While I was not expecting to have Izuku and Ochaco officially confess to each other this chapter I ended up thinking the scene would be too cute and fluffy and I didn't want to pass up on the opportunity. In the draft I had several more chapters of them just hinting at their relationship. I'm worried I have gotten them together a lot sooner than I wanted them to.
BUT OH MY FREAKING GOD I SHIP IZUKU AND OCHACO SO HAAAARD.
I really hope you enjoyed the fluff. The ending wrote itself, my fingers just kept on typing. Considering Izuku is only 16 and Ochaco is still 15 it does seem a tad bit odd that they have become so romantic and sensual with each other but still SO CUTE. I'll need to redraft a little but having them as a couple right now doesn't deter the story too much.
Anyways, thank you so much for reading. If you are happy the cinnamon rolls finally got together then let me know, vice versa if you aren't satisfied. Until next time!
