IzuOcha Arc 3 Chapter 5 Fireworks

[Final chapter for this Arc! I am excited for you guys to read this!]

Uraraka POV:

As we walk, hand in hand I can feel the warmth seeping from him into my hand even though I am wearing a glove. His hand is rough with scars from any training sessions and countless battles but all I feel when I touch them is safe, not disgust most girls would feel just looking at them, I feel happy and safe. Knowing that Deku sacrifices everything to protect people, to be the hero I aspire to be. I think that is the reason I have fallen in love with him.

His generosity knows no bounds, even getting me a box of mochi just minutes before knowing I didn't have the money and it being extremely expensive, but he got them anyway. I can't stop my small glances at him, his outfit every time I look at it makes my cheeks grow warm. Even seeing Eri smile her widest doesn't bring that amount of warmth it does just thinking something about Deku.

"Eri please don't run off ahead!" he calls to the little girl as she gets a little far ahead as the sun is starting to set, letting the darkness surround us.

"Alright!" she calls back, dancing in front of us. As I look up, I see it, the hill with the cherry blossom tree that Deku, Iida, Todoroki, myself and even Momo sometimes all sit under in the hot weather enjoying our lunch and talking without a care in the world.

As I look, I see two figures sitting down from the top a bit, both slender but as I look to the outlines of their hair, I recognise them instantly.

"Hey Midoryia, Uraraka!" Momo calls motioning us over to Todoroki and herself, as we reach them, I notice they are hand in hand extremely close together. "You look so cute Eri!" she calls out as Eri walks into their vision.

"Thank you, Ms Doll," she says happily, looking at Momo.

"Hey, do you want to stay with us for a bit let Uraraka and Deku have some alone time?" Momo asks Eri, smiling a million-dollar grin.

"No," Eri responds pouting making me giggle but also making my heart sink,

I would have liked some alone time with Deku because this is our first date.

"What about now?" Momo asks with a tiny evil grin as she pulls out a candy apple and I can see Eri's eyes goes wide with excitement.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" she squeals running over to Momo and jumping into her lap. Eri literally shaking with excitement as she stares at what will be her fourth candy apple.

"Go on you two enjoy some time together, me and Eri are going to watch the fireworks together and eat candy apples." She says, smiling at me and Deku.

"THANK YOU MOMO!" I mouth as Deku starts to move up the hill suddenly, as we reach the top wordlessly, he sits down against the tree and I follow. Not caring who sees me, I wrap my arm around his waist and pull myself in as close as I can. Placing my head on his shoulder, enjoying the physical contact that isn't related to nightmares or having to comfort each other.

As I try to subdue the heat on my cheeks I listen to his body and I hear his heartbeat. It beats faster and faster. I then suddenly feel his arm wrap around me and pull me closer leaving almost no part of my side with no physical contact.

Thank you Deku, this is the perfect way to finish tonight.

I think as with my other hand I pull out the box of Mochi. I quickly place one in my mouth and it explodes in sweetness as I feel my favourite food disappear down my throat. It is the best tasting Mochi I have ever had, "Thank you again for this Deku," I say before he can speak my body has taken overtaking another Mochi and place it right in his mouth as he goes to speak.

His cheeks explode into a red, even brighter than Kirishima's hair. His eyes wide like an owl in surprise, as I drop the Mochi onto his tongue and remove my hand. As he nervously starts to close, I feel my mouth form a small smile. Hopefully expressing that it is alright. As he swallows the Mochi I start to giggle, not knowing what has come over me I just can't stop. My cheeks are bright red and burning but I don't care one bit, just as long as I am in his arms I don't care.

"Thank you for today, it made me feel like a princess the way you treated me, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way," I say resting my head again on his shoulder just as the sun finally sets.

Momo POV:

"So Eri are you enjoying the candy apple?" I ask looking down to see Eri quickly turn her head back around, clearly pretending to not be looking up the hill towards Uraraka and Midoryia. I sigh at the sight of the little girl's innocence act.

"Yes, Ms Doll it is delicious, thank you for giving it to me," she says as she watches the sun descend behind the last of the buildings turning the warm dusk to the starry night. As I look down, I see Eri looking up the hill again.

"Eri give them some alone time," I say stroking her head trying to think of something to distract the girl. "Hey Eri, have you ever seen fireworks before?" I ask curiously still stroking her head gently,

"No, apparently according to Deku they are beautiful! With lots of lights and colours, he keeps telling me that he can see firework in my eyes whenever he sees me eating an apple, but I don't know what they are," she says with a defeated shrug, which causes my heart to squeeze and I know how I am going distract her.

"Well Deku is right, I see them in your eyes too sometimes," I say as I hold out my arm and reveal some skin. As I do, I focus my quirk sending small sparkles from my arm, which sends tingles up my arms like little electric shocks.

As I finish, I pull out a pair of green miniature night vision goggles just the right size for Eri. "What are those?" she asks curiously staring at the green goggles that just came from my arm.

"Well these are night vision goggles; you need to find the correct roof that has a cart on them, then you need to keep watching because if you don't you will miss it," I say handing over the goggles, as she takes them and puts them to her eyes she starts searching the rooftops of the school. Moving her head side to side over-enthusiastically.

"I see it. I see it," she squeals almost jumping out of my lap as she points to a rooftop right across from the hill on the opposite side of the festival.

"Yeah that makes sense they put it on top of one of the training facilities," Shoto says nodding with a small smile that makes my heart flutter.

"Yeah, so keep watching without the goggles now. Because from that cart an explosion of light will occur, shooting a bright light right into the air which will explode into many colours and shapes. Some even make whistling noises, but you have to watch otherwise you will miss it." I say to Eri who nods vigorously and stares directly at where the cart would be approximately. As I begin to stroke Eri's hair again I hear a bang.

As I look up, I see the first firework shoots into the sky and explode adding more twinkling lights to the already beautiful starry sky. As I look down, I see Eri staring in awe mouth open with her full attention focused on the colour lights exploding right in the sky.

"They are so beautiful," Eri mumbles to I assume herself, as I hear that my heart squeezes at the cute sight of Eri staring at the beautiful night sky. Then I feel a pair of eyes staring at me, as I turn to meet them, he opens his mouth,

"I want you to meet my mother, I want to show her that someone else loves and cares for me like she does. I want her to be proud of the man I have become thanks to you and my friends." He says stuttering out the last part but managing to make it audible, which makes my heart begin to beat faster and faster.

"I would love to meet her. I love you Shoto," I say placing my head on his shoulder as I continue to watch the dazzling light show.

Aizawa POV:

As we walk past the last set of vendors hand in hand enjoying just the alone time we have together. As I look over, I see a small smile, the one I know meaning she is truly happy and is having a nice time with me. As I look up, I see the last of the sunset behind the teaching building next to me the sky turning from a fiery orange to a black starry one instead.

Alright now or never.

I think as I pull out my capture device throwing it with one hand to wrap around a flagpole on the roof next to me. I move my hand quickly to wrap around Emi's waist and before we know it, we have swung up onto the roof.

"Aizawa what are we doing up here?" she asks extremely confused looking around at the dark rooftop,

Alright, you can do this, she used to ask you every other day. You can do this; this is your one chance to make you both extremely happy.

I mentally scream at myself, but it doesn't help, my entire body starts shaking like an earthquake and I feel streams of sweat roll down my face. My entire body doesn't want to do anything but shake and sweat with nervousness.

So, this is how it feels Midoryia, bloody hell.

I think as I watch Emi look at me, she moves quickly over to me. Going onto her toes and planting a kiss onto my forehead, with it my shakes disappear, my sweating stops, flowing away like waves in the sea.

"Take your time, I am not going anywhere," she says pulling a strand of her long sea-green hair behind her ear and waits gazing into my eyes with her two sea-green gems. With it, I pull out the black box and get down on one knee. As I open it, I see her eyes go wide like an owl, then bang the first fireworks go off.

"Emi Fukukado." I start managing to hold myself together, "Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" I ask with no stutters no nervous sweats anymore, then silence for what feels like years. I feel my world start to crumble around me, in the silence.

"YES, I would love to marry you! Oh, Aizawa! You made me the happiest girl alive, thank you so much! This ring is so beautiful, it looks just like the sea!" she yells jumping for joy like a madman. I watch my heart beating a million miles an hour, as I stand up and grab her hand and slide the ring onto her finger.

"It is a Tsavorite garnet, it reminded me of your hair and your eyes which look like the sea," I explain as I watch a small pink blush appear on her cheeks. Then she leaps at me planting her lips onto mine in the passionate and electric kiss. Shoving her tongue down my throat, her love and affection feel like it is being shoved into my mouth. So, I do the same, deepening the kiss, sending all my love and affection to my sea green-haired fiancé.

I don't care about the probably beautiful lights exploding around us, I only care about the most beautiful sight in front of me. I just can't take my eyes away from her even after we have separated for air, she is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my entire life.

Izuku POV:

As I am feeding another Mochi from the most beautiful girl in the world, I feel my heart racing a few million miles per hour, no ten million miles per hour, as I swallow the sweet mochi. Which tastes even sweeter than usual.

Alright, Izuku this is your moment, this is what you wanted to do and say, just get it out. What's the worst that could happen?

I think as I gulp, swallowing imaginary mochi. "Uraraka I don't want to upset you," I start no stuttering just yet, but I feel the nervousness sneaking behind me like a shadow on a sunny day, "but I have to know for sure," I say stuttering towards the end as I feel nervousness start to massage my shoulder, "What are we?" I ask as I watch her eyes grow in confusion, "Because I care about you so much and I want to be with you. Are we just extremely close best friends or are we something more? Or would you like to be something more?" I stutter out, every word, nervousness now strangling me, forcing me to stutter and feeling of sweat rolling down my forehead. In response, she sighs,

Oh god, did I do something wrong? Did she not understand? Or does she want to get rid of me? Oh, I don't want to lose her, just after finding some happiness with her.

I think before she starts speaking, "I didn't know either, whenever we had alone time it was because of some nightmares and didn't seem like the right time." Her words soothing and soft, causing me to relax as if I was drinking tea or hot chocolate. "I care about you too; I want to be next to you as a hero and as a partner. I think you're the only one I feel safe with. You're the only one I have these warm feelings for in here." She says pointing to her heart as she does, I feel my own increase even further and I feel my cheeks grown hot.

"You get them too?" I ask pointing to my own heart to confirm to which she nods her face growing pink,

It's time, just to get rid of any confusion, time to make things official, time to take a leap of faith.

"Uraraka, will you be my girlfriend?" I stutter out, trying to be a little confident at least. Then time freezes, her chocolate eyes staring into my own, I watch as I see her eyes start widening to be larger than some owls, her cheeks going from a soft pink to a deep red in a matter of seconds.

Then I hear a bang, knowing it is the fireworks I continue watching waiting for a response, "Yes!" she says as if a spell had been lifted her face erupting into a bright smile that would put the fireworks to shame. Her eyes now filled with love and affection, as I continue to stare into them. I see the dancing colours and explosions in her soft brown eyes matching what my heart has going on, love and happiness exploding within it, making my heart beat faster and louder than ever before.

Time for me to make the first move for once.

I think, still starring into her eyes. Then I lean in quickly, placing my lips on hers, quickly giving a peck hopefully the right way since I have never kissed anyone before. Her eyes going wide with surprise then I watch her have a blue screen of death moment and she falls unconscious into my arms. All within a matter of seconds after asking her out.

I place her head on my shoulder, making sure she is comfortable. I grab her and hold her even closer as I watch her sleep on my shoulder. "Your so cute when you sleep," I say to my new beautiful girlfriend.

"Thank you Izuku, I will always have a place in my heart for you, forever and always. Thank you for being with me," she mumbles sleepily, causing me to blush and turn a pink colour, in response I turn my head and kiss her forehead and I see her lips turn up just a bit.

"I won't ever leave you Ochaco,"

[Alright, that's the end of this Arc, please tell me what you thought, your comments and reviews are extremely useful and insightful! Without them, I wouldn't be able to improve! Now please tell me what your favourite part of the chapter is? What is your favourite part of this arc?

Also, she says Izuku at the end because I thought it would give more meaning, rather than his common name, she uses Izuku to show how deeply she cares for him and not the hero, but the man behind the hero. Anyway, that's my reasoning for it at least.

Now usually I announce the next arc, but I am just trying to think of the name still, it will be good hopefully I will announce it in my authors update which will go out next week except for AO3, which I don't post them in, just go find me on Fanfic or Wattpad if you want to read it. I will be taking a small break from writing this story for a week or 2, I will post a mini-chapter in that time and the author's update. If you are bored I have my NarutoxTenten fic that has a few chapters up and I will be posting a new chapter for that end of this week. Anyway, remember, GO BEYOND PLUS ULTRA]
