Authors Note: I'll make this one quick. The "Last updated by" thing glitches again on me for uploading chapter 6 so I'm sure this one will correct it but it is really getting annoying as it doesn't flag an alert that it has new content up. More notes at the end of the chapter, I really hope you all enjoy this one.
Izuku POV
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
*Rubbing eyes*
Today's the day. I have no more time to avoid this, I still don't know what to say but hopefully she'll understand I really mean it when I want to be with her.
Yesterday I had finished most of the cliff flattening and smoothing and I even cut the rock in a way to make a ramp to the platform. All I have to do is wait for her to be there again and make sure this goes right this time around.
(Sorry for cutting in but the rock platform I envisioned is the one from the story profile picture. You can find many like it on google by searching "Nebula Beach". Just wanted it to be clear on what izuku was doing and that there is supposed to be an even bigger cliff that's above it covering it with an overhang.)
Well I should make it to the breakfast cafeteria. It's 9:30 am right now so I think a lot of people should be there right now.
I changed into a black shirt with green spikes coming from the sides and diagonally facing down going towards my chest and stomach and I decided to change into my green flame with lighting bug style lights shorts (actual shorts from Nike) because even though they were meant for swimming, I thought they looked really cool and I could go swimming after breakfast to pass the time.
I got to the cafeteria and it smelled great, it was sweet with the scent of fresh fruit and savory with the scent of ham steak and bacon strips.
"Yo Midoriya, over here!" Ojiro and Kaminari were eating together at a table waving to me
"Hey guys, am I late or are you guys up 'early' too" I said with a bit of sarcasm at the end.
"Haha nah, mostly everyone is up and at the beach right now, tokoyami is still sleeping and mineta went to a supermarket with shoji for some snacks. We're planning on having a small party later if you wanna join." Kaminari stated as laid back as ever
"Maybe not tonight, but some other time might work better" I really did not want to mess up this night, if I go to that party it's game over from there on.
"you and your training man, you ever have a plan to slow down and enjoy the smell of the roses?" Ojiro added in
"Yeah, but I just can't right now." I ended that subject there.
"Anyways, you guys going to the beach after breakfast too?" I had to break the small silence I had created.
Of course man, that's where everyone else is.
So after stuffing myself with ham steak, hash browns and bacon it was off to the beach.
Mostly everyone was there and playing volleyball or surfing the large waves here.
I noticed Uraraka playing as the server in their current game and she was doing great. I'm wearing my emerald tinted glasses so I'm not sure if she knew if I was staring or not because her swimsuit looked amazing on her when I stopped to think about it. All the detail added on to it just complimented her everywhere possible and I probably should stop before something noticeable about me changes.
Todoroki was relaxing under the umbrella and I decided to drop my things on the empty chair next to him.
"Can I leave my stuff here while I'm in the water dude" I said as I dumped it there anyways
"Yeah of course, I'm just kicking back for now"
I always wanted to try something but I never got around to it. I took off my shirt and approached the water.
To run on water, one must be able to move at 30 meters per second. I know all might was easily capable of that speed but my full cowling just barely might clock in at the speed range. It might be extra difficult with the waves in the way too but I think it's worth a shot
*Full cowl 8%!*
I heard someone say "Hey midoriya what are you doing"
by then I already started running and off I went to the water, I jumped over the set of waves and went pretty far in towards the calm part but if I don't run fast enough for my landing I'll just sink right in.
*Splash*
"OH MY GOD" i heard someone scream loudly, but I am too busy to focus on them, i was actually doing it, i was kicking up so much water that it looked like tiny explosions but it feels amazing to be doing this, the scenery I'm passing while running on water is something I cannot put to words other than amazing beyond belief.
I should start heading back... and I tripped
"Cra-" *Splash, splash BOOM!*
i shoved my foot to far inward that I tripped myself and bounced on the surface of the water twice and cannon balled in my final bounce like a skipping stone with no more momentum. I started swimming up and when I got to the surface I was able to see that I was only around 40 or 50 meters from shore. This is no problem normally but the current is something else.
*Full Cowl!*
"Now we're talking"
I swam back relatively easy and got back to shore where my classmates were waiting. Some of which very worried
"Midoriya that was reckless!" Mina yelled first followed by everyone else there.
Uraraka was the only one who stood back and I could tell she had a look of worry when I first got back but she was calm once she figured out I was ok.
"I'm sorry guys really, it was just a dumb idea that turned out to be really fun while it lasted" I said laughing it off.
"I'm going to get back to training" I said grabbing my backpack and sprinting full speed towards the cliff again.
i had packed everything I thought I would need for the time there. A pillow to lay back on with her, my towel that was also a fast drying blanket that was put in either mode by Velcro straps folding it to being a towel or being opened up as a blanket. Some snacks and my phone.
It was 8:37 pm. The sun was setting and it was all looking like my dream. I decided to swim to pass the time until 10:45 pm.
I guess it wasn't sweat, I was just swimming. I looked at my phone and I remembered the second dream.
I pulled out my pillow and laid back with my arms crossed behind my head. Sure enough I heard footsteps and then
"Deku?!"
She brought me a water bottle just like before and I accepted it yet again.
"Thanks, I forgot mine in my room" I said smiling
"Deku I wanted to ask you something"
Here goes again, don't screw up
"Do you like someone?" She said nervously like before in the glimpse of the future dream i had
"Well what do you mean by that Uraraka?" I said calmly
"Like you want to be with that person all the time and sometimes you can't even think straight when you're next to them"
"Yeah I guess I can relate a little" ok here comes the tears, I know I can do this right!
"What would you do if you wanted to be with them, but you didn't want to be in the way of their dreams?" She started to sniffle
"You're talking about me right? About us" I said quietly
"I'm sorry, I just can't help the way I feel. I shouldn't have thrown this on you" she was crying and got up to run away
"Wait" I said as I grabbed her arm
"Uraraka, you're wrong. You're not in the way of my dreams. You are a part of them, I don't want to lose what I feel with you either, it's just I've never had feelings like these before and I don't know how to express them" I was starting to panick a little hoping my words would reach her.
She turned around and looked at me with those big beautiful cloudy eyes and said "Really, you really mean that?! You're not just say-mmfff!?"
I cut her off from speaking by kissing her! What am I thinking?! Am I even thinking right now!?
We pulled away slowly from each other.
"I want you to be a part of my life Uraraka, being a hero is important to me yes but I wouldn't be any hero if I threw away the feelings of my best friend I also am in love with"
"Deku, i..i...i I'M SO HAPPY" she said breaking into some more tears and smiling while holding me tightly
"These feelings made me feel trapped for so long, i couldn't help how I felt, but I didn't know how to tell you or if I even should. i..I'm just glad you wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with you."
We looked each other in the eyes and smiled.
"You wanna spend a little more time out here with me" I asked holding my hand out gesturing towards my pillow and blanket I layer out on the rock platform.
"I'd love too" she responded holding my hand was we laid down and looked at the stars overhead.
We spent so long talking about when we first started having feelings for each other and laughed at each other's stories for trying not to be so obvious and it worked on each other but everyone else could tell.
Holding her hand, laying down under the stars in a private place away from our friends and the public. It's nothing short of magical. I turned to her and she turned to me, we smiled and before I knew it we had begun to kiss again.
This time it was just more than a simple peck on the lips. She was gripping on the back of my head and I was pulling her body closer to mine as we kissed for as long as we could before breaking for air and going right back to kissing again.
Her hand started creeping up my shirt and I think she was trying to pull it off but before anything happened, her phone began to ring, as did mine. We each gestured to take a step away to answer.
"Hello" I said. It was todoroki
"Midoriya, where are you at. Is uraraka with you? It's 12:45 am and we were all worried about you."
"Yeah sorry it's just I had something come up but me and uraraka are fine, were just at the beach spot I told you guys about earlier." It took another 3 minutes for each of us to convince them we we're ok. Yaoyorozu being the one to call Uraraka.
"You think we should head back now" I said.
"Um yeah, i think that's a good idea" she said sounding slightly disappointed.
"Well then let's go!" I said sweeping her feet and carrying her bridal style
"Deku what are you-?"
*Full cowl!*
"I'm saving us a bit of time I said running with her in my hands."
"I want to spend more time with you walking on the beach, but then I have a feeling some of the guys would get suspicious. Haha, how about we meet here again tomorrow night?"
"That sounds great" she said smiling while rubbing her head into my chest and clutching me tighter.
We arrived within 5 minutes but to me it felt like seconds. I wanted to have her in my arms longer.
I got to the side of the hotel her room was at and jumped up onto the balcony and let her down.
"Thank you again Deku, for everything you've done for me"
she pulled me in and gave me one more kiss on the lips before going inside of her room and closing the door waving bye.
i jumped back off and headed back to my room. I got down and laid on my bed exhausted. That...WAS AMAZING. I thought spazzing out on my bed shaking it furiously. I didn't expect to say what I did but it worked out perfectly. I did it, I don't have to worry about our friendship being ruined because now she's my girlfriend. Wait! I have a girlfriend! Oh I can't stay still, how am I going to sleep tonight now?
Ochako POV
My heart won't stop racing. Oh my god, that really happened, deku said he wanted to be with me! HE SAID HE LOVES ME! and that I was a part of his dreams. This trip can't get any better and it can't be anything bad now with him by my side as my boyfriend! Oh I felt so much weight just being taken off of me that it feels like I'm using my quirk on myself again!
I don't know why i was reaching up his shirt, it just felt like i had to *blushing* i was so lost in the moment and in the kiss that it felt so right. I mean, is it wrong? I know we're not married but deku is not anywhere near being the type of person who would abandon someone he loves right. I don't wanna rush this with him but I can't help it. But this time I'll control myself. Just one step at a time
I can't help but smile... I'm not going to get any sleep tonight.
*knock knock knock*
It was the balcony door! I'll just take a peek on who's outside.
*pulling curtain*
"Deku!" I shouted a bit only to cover my own mouth and open the door
"Sorry, I just couldn't sleep. It feels weird right now, not in a bad way though! It's just I don't know how to control my feelings right now and it's making me stay up" he said blushing lightly, he was too cute.
"don't worry, I'm on the same boat" I said scratching my head
"Do you want to sleep here then? With me?" He started blushing an insane amount of red when I realized what context he took it on.
"NOnononono, I didn't mean it like that!" Partially did, just not really because I doubt he'll ever be up for something like that anytime soon.
"Yeah, I don't know what else to do so i guess spending the night would help" I have a feeling he just wanted to talk more and I pushed him to us doing this but i couldn't help it, I didn't want him to leave again.
I gestured for him to come lay down with me and it was a little akward at first but when we locked hands it all went away. I felt at peace right now.
about 10 minutes in I think deku fell asleep because his grip loosened a bit, I decided to let go too to give him some room.
*rustle*
I felt his hand go over me, he was hugging me in his sleep. He felt so warm and he was holding me in his arms now. I held his arm and kept it wrapped around me and I started drifting to sleep.
Todoroki POV
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I reached for my phone on the night stand next to me and I saw no new messages.
Wait, did midoriya ever come back last night!? When I called him I told him to drop a message of when he got back.
I got up, dressed and started running to his room. It's only 8:20 am but still, he should've said something.
I put my hand to the door and conjured an ice key fit to the insides of the lock to open it.
He's not here! Let me call him.
*your call has been forwarded to an auto-*
"Damn it, his phone is off"
Maybe uraraka knows!
I started running to the other side of the hotel and down the hall I saw yaoyorozu outside her door.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked me surprised
"Midoriya didn't message me last night if he got here so i was planning to see if Uraraka knew what happened to him or where he went.
"I came to check on uraraka too but I knocked twice and she's not answering."
thats it, we need answers
*Ice key*
Me and Momo rushed in only to turn to the bed and see them, laying together.
"Oh shit" I whispered a little too loudly
that caught me off guard more than my fights with villain masterminds.
Midoriya sleeping with Uraraka?! What world am I in?! I'm still sleeping right? That has to be it. I turn to see Yaoyorozu more red than her hero costume.
"I don't think we should have seen this" she said squeaking in between words.
"I agree, I think they need their privacy" we backed out of the room and closed the door and ran to the lounge room that was empty.
"You saw that too right?" I asked her with my hands covering my face
*Mmmmhhhhmmm* she said still cherry red.
"I never thought, he was the type to just go and and" I'm too lost for words right now.
"no no, they still had clothes on" I said calming down.
"yeah, yeah you're right, but why were they in the same bed?" She said calming down as well.
"I don't know but let's just assume it wasn't anything much. I mean he was laying on his back and holding her with his left arm wrapped around from under her while she was hugging him laying closer to his chest with her hand up his shi-" wait a second
"I guess it still could be possible" I said holding my chin
"Todoroki, this is not helping!?" She said starting to panick again
"Yeah, I mean if they have a kid both their dreams end way too soon" I added in
"No, no way" yaoyorozu looked like she had an idea
"What is it" I asked
"Since we first started hanging out, she stayed over one night with some of the other girls. She said she was taking birth control to lessen the amount of time to deal with her days of the month"
"uuuhhhh, ok I'm following" i said unsure of this idea
"You don't think" i stopped her there
"no, I know Midoriya and Uraraka, they aren't those types of people. I think she is taking that medicine to deal with her problem there but the only thing I'm questioning is how they were so calm next to each other. In class, they always bug out and seperate away from each other blushing. It's like now they are used to each other or something happened where they are no longer bugged by being around each other anymore"
It was a long deduction but I'm sure I'm right.
"Look Yaoyorozu, if they want to tell us one day, I'm sure they will but for now let's just keep what we saw between us."
"Agreed" she said back to her normal self
"Well since we're up, do you wanna grab breakfast?" I said
"yeah sure, breakfast sounds great right now" she said standing up from her chair
"Oh, and I almost forgot." She was reaching into her purse for something.
"I've been meaning to give this back. Sorry but I went a little over the budget you set. But it was to get her that white swimsuit with the roses" She was starting to get nervous again as she handed my card back to me.
I couldn't help but laugh
"nah don't worry about it, I knew you wouldn't break a rule unless it meant a lot to you. I just didn't think your plan would involve all the other guys staring at her too"
"He-Hey that wasn't the plan, I didn't think that the- Wait a second, don't tell me you were staring too" she got up and punched my shoulder lightly.
"it was more of a glance" I said jokingly
"Im sorry, it's just I figured you'd go for something more settle like a hair clip that would let him compliment her personally and not have every guy giving her compliments and stares"
"yeah I guess I wasn't thinking it through" she was laughing now too!
me making people laugh, much more to make her laugh, I feel great.
"So about that breakfast" I said after it got quiet and we were standing still for about 20 seconds.
"right right" she said and with that we headed to the cafeteria.
Izuku POV
*Eyes blinking open*
"wha- where am i?"
I turned to see a sleeping ochako right next to me holding me close and my left arm was wrapped around her holding her close.
Ok ok, easy dont overheat, just calm down remember what happened.
I turned to look at her again but this time she was looking back at me.
"Good morning" i had no idea what to say, what does one say in a situation like this?
"Yeah, it really is!" she said pulling me closer hugging me
"I was starting to think last night was just a dream and then i saw you here and IM SO HAPPY" she said squeezing tighter.
"Yeah, I can't stop smiling either" I said like an idiot
"Oh man what time is it?" she asked me
I turned and saw the clock
"11:48" (am)
"Oh man, we really overslept!" i said starting to panick.
"Yeah, but i mean its vacation so whats the big problem" she asked me
"Its not a problem its just everyone is gonna be questioning why we were gone for so long and why we didnt wake up until now" They might get the wrong idea and this could end badly
"Oh OH, uh im gonna go shower and change, you go do the same and we'll meet up at the cafeteria for lunch with everybody." she said starting to understand how panicked i felt
"Ri-RIGHT" I grabbed my phone and bag and got out onto the balcony
*Full Cowl*
Full speed! back to my room
Oh man what was i thinking, but I felt so calm last night with her there and when i woke up, seeing us like that, I felt so warm. Things are going to be different now, and im liking it. Not to mention I have another date with her again tonight at the cliff again!
I got back to my room, grabbed my key card from my bag and got inside and ran to the shower. I changed into my casual green cargo shorts and black plus ultra shirt and then hoofed it back to the cafeteria.
She was already there sitting down with all the girls and I saw the guys at another table across from them and started to head over there.
"Yo Midoriya! Come on man, grab some lunch and come sit with us" Kirishima said waving to me.
"Yeah, sure thing" I called back.
This trip cannot get any better.
Final Notes: So yet again, i uploaded chapter 6 and no new notification was given on the "Last Updated By" timeline so i think somethings bugging the system. It still said it was last updated when I uploaded chapter 5. Hopefully this one fixes it, but if not oh well what can i do.
So yeah after next chapter might have to change rating to M for "PLOT" reasons
Just a heads up because after chapter 8 is released later today or tomorrow and it probably will glitch the "Last updated by" thing again, it might dissapear from your "K-T" or "T" filters.
It'll be under "Ratings: ALL" or "M" as im sure you know but the story isnt going to be deleted.
Anyways, that was the 4k words chapter, throwing some TodoMomo in there too. I'm gonna have them be a thing after I finish focusing on the whole IzuOcha situation.
Thats all for now so I'll see you all later today or tomorrow.
~Peace
