Please read ending Authors note!

This chapter was edited by my amazing beta: Whatisthiswitchery.

Izuka glanced around as she exited the makeshift office of Recovery Girl. A light blush was still heating her face at the thought of being so close to Kacchan. Now, though it seemed he had taken off. As soon as they entered the room Recovery Girl told him to leave, she would need to see the damage of her ribs which meant Izuka's shirt had to come off. As he was disappearing out of the door it seemed like he was walking quickly like he wanted to leave more than just because of Recovery Girl.

A frown slid across her face as she noticed the hallway was empty, apparently he had left. With a sigh she found her fatigue had risen after being healed and knew food would be needed soon and, if there was some time, a quick cat nap.

It sounded like a plan and she could already feel the need to go find a spot to curl up for a few minutes. With a yawn she began to move toward where the entrance was and where she could find someone to help her go get some food.

"Midoriya," came a toneless voice, one she knew well. Turning around she found his eyes locked onto her. There was an intensity there and instantly she knew he had been looking for her. Confusion flooded her gaze as she stopped walking and allowed him to catch up to her.

"Todoroki," she said softly in a greeting. "What are you doing here?"

"I would like to talk to you," he said motioning for them to go somewhere more private. "If you don't mind."

"Oh," she said still confused. "Sure, I don't mind." Her stomach growled quietly reminding her of her plan, a small disappointed sigh at not having time for a nap came and went, but the knowledge that she would at least still get food kept her moving. Izuka followed Todoroki until they came to one of the more secluded entrances to the field.

Here she leant up against a wall feeling the uncomfortable digging of the metal pole into her back that she ignored. Her hands came to rest on it taking off some of the pressure.

"What did you want to speak to me about?"

He leant against the other side directly across from her, his mismatched eyes staring into her own emerald ones. It was beginning to make her feel a little uncomfortable but she pushed the feeling away. This was her classmate, even if he was acting weird at the moment.

"I mean I'm pretty hungry after being healed and the canteen will be full soon." He still hadn't said a word and she felt the need to push him a little to speed up the process.

His eyes finally lost some of their intensity as he moved just enough to reposition. "You surprised me, before today I hadn't felt your power," he said his eyes once more staring into her own. "I experienced a power similar to yours once more, you remember don't you?"

Izuka could feel herself stiffen even as she tried to ignore that not wanting to give anything away. She thought she knew where he was going with this, what connections he was trying to make, but she hoped she was wrong, or at least could lie well enough to throw him off.

"What are you saying, Todoroki?" she asked hesitantly. Izuka couldn't fully force herself to relax around him now. A small smile had graced her lips in a confused way and she hoped her body language wasn't giving anything away.

"All Might's power felt similar to yours. That pressure was the same. So I have a question, are you All Mights illegitimate child or something?" Izuka could feel herself deflate at the words uttered from the boy across from her. He only thought she was his child, even though she felt like he was a father to her it was still a long way from the truth. The fact that he hadn't figured out the truth was enough for Izuka to smile widely at him.

"Even though he feels like a father to me he's not my dad," she said feeling once again disappointed with that fact. It wasn't even the fact that All Might was someone she looked up to or even held in a highlight, but the fact that he took time and believed in her.

"That's still interesting that you know him well enough to feel like he is something other than a teacher," Todoroki said with a small nod of his head having gained some information. "There's something you're not saying, I'm not really sure what it is." He went quiet and Izuka wondered if she would have to once again try to get him to talk or ask if she could leave. The conversation was growing more uncomfortable for her by the second.

Bakugo sighed as he walked along the passage back to where he had left Izuka with Recovery Girl. He had only been gone ten minutes, enough time to regain his barings, and hoped he hadn't missed her. His anger always got the best of him, his insecurities always nagging away at him, and the fact that they were revolved around Izuka only made it worse to be in her presence.

Today's actions were unspeakable to him, it only added the guilt he felt toward her and the rage.

It was surprised to him how the bond that connected him to her still existed with everything he had felt and done to try to disengage it. He knew it was fruitless, an action that wouldn't get him anywhere. Bonds were for life, Marks never disappeared. The way that you accepted it outlined the rest of your life, one of misery, or one of happiness. He had picked the path of happiness in the beginning, and as the days went on and he walked further from it, it became harder to find.

That day he had picked a fight with her, calling her out on her quirk, so pissed that she seemed to have one after all this time just to hear some story about it not being hers. There were so many connections he had started to make with that talk they had. But that day there was only one thing that stood out to him more, and it was when he had seen her wrist, had seen the Mark that adorned her skin, his mark.

It could have only belonged to one person. To him.

Whenever this quirk was given to her must have activated it, but it didn't change anything. How could something that existed now but not ten years ago, when it was truly needed, change something that deeply ingrained.

Sighing he kicked at the floor and rounded the corner but there was no sight of the green haired girl he was looking for. A growl of frustration left his lips as he took off in a random direction hoping he would run across her soon. Fear plagued him at what she thought of him, she always tried to keep their friendship floating even when afraid of him, but would this last action push her fully over the edge. Izuka was always around and he wasn't sure if he could handle her finally disappearing.

"What did you want to speak to me about?" Her voice floated down the hallway toward him. He walked slowly up to where the corridor veered off ahead of him and off to the right. He was curious about who she was talking too, but when he finally heard his voice he could feel some anger at the fact that they were together.

Instead of rushing off and demanding to know what's going on he decided to stay flush against the wall and listen.

"You know my father is Endeavor," Todoroki stated causing Izuka to become startled and more confused by the random fact. They had just been talking about herself and All Might, though she supposed bringing up how she thought of him as a father could potentially open up this line of talking.

Todoroki didn't seem to be the type to open up about personal things.

"He's the second greatest hero, that means if you're somehow connected to the greatest hero, then that's all the more reason for me to crush you."

Izuka frowned at his words wondering what could have caused someone to act this cold, this calculated about a war all because of the people they were connected to.

"Why does it have to be like that?" she asked with honest curiosity.

"My father is powerful bastard who only thinks of ways to become stronger," Todoroki said his eyes becoming colder at the mention of his dad. "Even though he's done everything to make a name for himself as a hero, All Might has always been a pain in his side, blocking him from what he truly wants. My father could never beat All Might on his own so he came up with another plan."

He answer to her question only seemed to bring up more questions for her. His father didn't seem all that great but it didn't make sense that he would be sharing this with her.

"What do I have to do with any of this?" she asked. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm sure you've heard of quirk marriages." He seemed to pause to give her time to answer. She only nodded already disliking where this was going with just that phrase. "In the second and third generations of quirk they had become a problem, people wanting a stronger version of their quirks, and forcing others into marriage to obtain them. With his wealth and fame my father forced my mother family into agreeing with the marriage. All he wanted was her quirk. He raised me as a hero who could exceed All Might, just to fulfill that ambition of his. I hated being no more than a tool for that bastard."

She watched as he took a breath, whether for centering or calming himself she didn't know, but his eyes seemed to soften and grow colder at the same time with the next words uttered from his mouth.

"I remember my mother always crying," he said his voice only sounding more detached. "She always muttered about a Mark that didn't match his, always crying. 'I can't stand to see that left side of yours,' she said, before throwing scalding water on my face."

Izuka couldn't help the horrified gasp that left her mouth. The thought of his own mother doing that to him, no matter the circumstances. Her hands flew up to her mouth to keep herself from saying something that might upset him.

Todoroki hadn't seemed to have heard her, too lost in his own thoughts as his hand came up to cover the scar that laid there. His fingers dug into his skin as he thought back to that day. They shook ever the slightest as he shoved his hand back to his side.

"I never use my left side, never use my father's quirk, and during this festival I'll refuse to use it even during my fight with you. I'm sure we will be fighting against one another again. By rising to the top without using it, I'll have denied him everything."

Izuka couldn't help but just stare at him. Everything he had just told her resounded throughout her mind. They were the same but so different, both rising for the top. Todoroki pushed himself from the wall as he watched her, his gaze only showing boredom once more. His eyes still had the same chilling effect they always had on her.

"Keep your connection with All Might a secret then, either way it doesn't matter because I'll rise above you with just my right side. Sorry for wasting your time."

Izuka could feel herself shake unsure of how to respond to that. His backstory was a lot to take in, and she was still unsure of why her connection with All Might would be a good enough reason to declare war on her. His father had been selfish and raised him for only his greed. She didn't agree with how Todoroki was going about rising against his father knowing herself that his quirk wasn't his father's. That still didn't stop her from uttering her next words.

"I've always had help," she said making him pause in his decent away from her. "No matter the situation, I-I've only come this far because other people have helped me." She thought of Uraraka on her first day at the exams, of Kacchan on that day they fought, of Hagakure when she got the flag, and when All Might believed in her.

"I want to be like All Might, to do that I have to become the strongest, I owe it, and that might seem like a lame motivation compared to yours, but there's no way I'm going to lose. All of those who have helped me, this is how I repay them."

She stared determinedly up into his eyes as he turned to look at her. He eyes shined brightly like emerald fires. "I would like to return your declaration of war, I'm going to beat you." Her hair slapped her face with the breeze that drifted through the opening of the corridor as she stared at him waiting to see what he would do.

He only nodded accepting her words as he spun back around and walked away. Her stomach growled once more announcing that she had been ignoring it for far too long. Placing a hand over it she began to walk toward where Todoroki had just disappeared to in search of food when arms wrapped around her waist and began to pull her back. A small gasp left her lips in surprise as she was spun around and shoved up against the cement wall she once was leaning on.

Widened emerald eyes met familiar crimson as her mouth parted open in shock before she blinked and frowned. "Kacchan?" she asked her brow furrowed. "What are you doing?" She hadn't expected to see him unless she was the one to go searching for him. His hands came up to lean his weight against the wall, each one on either side of her head.

Izuka felt herself gulp at the action as it brought him several inches closer to her face. Her cheeks began to heat up and she felt like dying from embarrassment if it showed. She hated the fact that she was always blushing around him when they got close unless it was during a battle. It couldn't be helped she had always been hyper aware of his presence.

It wasn't very helpful when in that moment his breath washed over her face with how close he was and she could smell hints of mint. She always joked it was the cool version of spicy that he couldn't get with toothpaste or gum. Not that he had ever found her funny.

Eyes darted around uncomfortable with looking up into his own. She wasn't sure if they had ever purposefully been this close, and definitely not with him being the one to initiate it.

"Fuck, Koneko, this doesn't fucking make sense," he growled out his crimson eyes darting around taking in her face as his hands scraped against the cement. She wasn't sure what he meant and her face showed her confusion.

"W-what do you mean?"

He couldn't get over how pissed he was about earlier, how he had watched himself beat her up, how he couldn't even make himself feel defenseless or horrified in the moment, there had only been blankness. His earlier thoughts and insecurities that never truly went away came rushing back from before he heard Izuka and Todoroki talking.

She watched as his face morphed for just a second into one of displeasure and sadness, an expression Izuka wasn't used to on his face. Before she could stop herself her hands reached up to rest against his face softly, trying to give comfort of any kind to him. She wished she knew what was going on in his mind at that moment. Why he had her against the wall looking beyond sad, but the expression slipped away faster than it appeared.

"You piss me off," Kacchan stated suddenly causing her to widen her eyes in shock and hurt. The statement caught her off guard and she felt a deep ache in her chest over it. His gaze bore into her own reading her emotions as soon as they filtered across her face showing everything to him. He could feel the regret at the words he spoke but this was something he felt he needed to say. "You always followed me around, even when I didn't want you too. You were just always there. This irritating shadow I was stuck with, a horrible reminder of everything I wanted to forget."

This wasn't what Izuka had expected to hear. The tears that threatened to spill over were only held back by sheer will power. Her movement to break away was squashed as Kacchan's arms around her kept her caged in. He wasn't finished.

"I've been riddled with these emotions for years, this regret, this anger, the bitterness, and frustration. I couldn't understand why I didn't deserve what everyone else had, why the universe was playing this horrible joke on me."

Izuka watched as his expression morphed to one feeling lost. The look tugged at her heart and her tears only came down harder already figuring out she was the reason for all of this. This was the most he had ever shared with her, ever, his expression, the way he spoke, all of it always around his anger.

"My Mark activated, I was ecstatic, I had a powerful quirk, and met my soulmate," he continued his voice growing rough. "This person my mother and father always talked highly of, a person I wanted too. Turns out they didn't have a Mark, the bond was one sided." He let out a bitter laugh as he spoke. His eyes were no longer looking at her instead they had fallen to the floor. The grip on the wall behind her and loosened and she knew without a doubt that if she tried to leave now nothing would stop her.

Instead she was frozen in place. This was a conversation between them long over due and even though she knew it wouldn't fix everything or even graze the top of what they needed to get by it. It was a start, and he needed this.

"I was doomed to be connected to someone who could never feel the same about me that I do them," he whispered barely loud enough for her to hear. "They would never feel this undying need to be around me like I did, an unwavering loyalty and love, and slowly over time I became twisted. My bitterness changed me, hardened me, and I found myself acting like a jerk toward the one I desperately needed." His eyes darted back up to her own capturing her gaze and holding it as a new emotion crossed their depths causing her to drown in it.

"I never intended for it to go like this, to get this bad. I just began to drown in it, the bond was pulling me in one direction, my fear and anger pulled in another." Izuka gasped at him announcing that he had fears, he didn't put up a wall like usual. Before she could stop herself she felt her hands move up and grip at the front of his gym suit. Her fingers digging into the material, stretching it.

Their gazes stayed locked onto one another, his eyes darting down before flickering back up to her eyes. One hand left its place against the cement a calloused finger swiping across the soft skin on her cheek, wiping away the tears that accumulated there.

At his touch she felt this sudden sense of calmness causing her to lean into him as a sigh escaped her lips. The tears still fell down her cheeks, she hated everything he felt, had gone through during the years. Everything they were both put through.

She felt rather than saw him shift closer to her, the finger that had wiped at her tears had now been joined with the rest of his hand now cupping her cheek. She rested her cheek more firmly against his hand her eyes slipping close.

Bakugo watched as an expression of bliss crossed her features. An urge that had been building inside of him felt stronger than ever as he closed what little bit of space was still between them. Feeling him shift caused her eyes to open as she took in his new position. His face was barely hovering above her own, his eyes once again darting down only this time actually lingering on her lips.

A blush heated her cheeks as she realized what he was about to do, nervousness tugged at her stomach, but nothing inside of her told her to move away. Izuka knew if she tried Kacchan would allow her to push past him and walk away if she felt uncomfortable. He wouldn't force this upon her but she could feel the fear of the unknown dragging her stomach down. She always carried strong emotions for Kacchan, she always wanted to be near him, to be close to him, to be his friend, but recently she had begun to grow for more. She wasn't satisfied with how their relationship was, she never had been before now, but that intensity for him to like her had grown stronger.

The inclination of what he was about to do was enough to cause her to grow fidgety to start over thinking everything.

All of that disappeared in the next instant.

His lips were on hers, urging a response from her own. If before just being held in his arms felt like pure bliss, like she was complete, this was on a whole different level. Her body buzzed with electricity, the nonexistent space crackled between them, and her fingers that had been dug into his clothes unfurled and glided up his arms, across his neck, and buried themselves within his blonde soft hair.

She tugged lightly at his locks as the kiss turned from a hesitant unsure pressure of lips to a demanding battle. The hand still resting by her head shifted to hold his weight better as he pushed flush against her body. This caused another round of crackling electricity to her system as she felt like she was drowning inside of him. All she could sense was him. He was her entire being in that moment. Where they were didn't matter, proving herself to everyone was no longer a care, all that mattered was him and that their kiss never stopped. Her head began to feel fuzzy but she relished in the emptiness.

Her breathing was erratic and in the back of her mind she knew she needed to breathe but it didn't feel important. He was all she needed to survive.

He nipped at her bottom lip and a moan escaped her mouth, an action that barely registered to her, but her mouth opened and she gulped in a much needed breath of fresh air.

The moan filtered through Katsuki's brain dragging him from the depths of passion and need, and pulling him back up to reality as he took in the gulp of air she drug through to her lungs. His breathing was hard, coming out in short bursts as the haze in his mind was slowly cleared. Once their lips met everything had melted away. All the hate and regret was filtered away leaving only the need and desperation behind. Now, that single most amazing noise he had ever heard come from her had shoved him roughly back into the present.

"Fuck," he gasped his eyes darkening and his cheeks glowing red. He used the hand on the wall to shove himself back his feet stumbling over the action, his body failing to work as fast as his brain was. Izuka's grip on his hair was ripped away and her eyes popped open in shock and confusion.

Her brain was finding it hard to pull from the haze it was once in. Blinking she stared up at where he towered over her, several steps farther away from her than he was in before. A horrified and angry expression was dragged across Kacchan's face. His fists clenched at his side as he stared down at her.

"K- Kacchan?" she whimpered her voice shaking at the look he was giving her.

"I- I got to go," he said roughly as he spun around and disappeared back down the hallway. Blankly she watched as he went, his body stiff, and his strides long. It took several moments before her brain caught up with what just happened. Her fingers lifted to graze at her lips touching where his lips once were before she slowly slid down the wall her butt hitting the ground. She felt shock as her hands began to shake and the rest of her quickly followed.

Her head fell forward allowing her hair to cover her face from view. Clutching at her chest she gasped as a single tear escaped her eye. The feeling of happiness and of being at home had quickly disappeared with the absence of him, leaving only a hole of sadness behind.

"Kacchan." A single sob filled the air hanging heavily in the silence around her.

As soon as she was capable of pulling herself together she had, but it took longer to grow the strength to push herself into a standing position. Izuka was sure she only had enough time to eat so she did just that. On her way she had ran into Momo and the other girls, all strangely dressed up in cheerleading outfits. Her slightly red eyes blinked in confusion at what she was seeing as she grabbed for something to fill her stomach. Exhaustion was pulling heavily at her but there was still so much she had to do.

She wouldn't allow what just happened to cause her to lose her focus on the festival. Her plan was to push Kacchan from her mind for now.

"Where have you been?" Momo asked as she determinedly walked up to her friend. "I've been looking everywhere for you, Izuka." Taking a bite she quickly swallowed before sending the dark haired girl a small apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry Mochan," she said hesitantly as she eyed the outfit Momo was holding out toward her. "I got distracted." A wave a pain shot through her chest as she thought over what happened.

"Well it can't be helped now I'm just happy I found you," she said while thrusting the outfit into her hands.

"Um, Mochan, what's this for?" she was horrified at the thought of what she was expecting from her.

"The boys told us that Aizawa-sensei said we were supposed to wear these." Izuka frowned at the material, not having the strength to deal with wearing something like this but sighed and nodded anyway. Perhaps it would be the distraction she needed. Anything to stop thinking about that kiss.

"Alright, hold on I'll get changed into it." The girls nodded and watched as she began to scarf down the food before heading to the closest bathroom. Once it was on she began to tug at the outfit wishing it covered more of her skin.

Allowing the girls to drag her down onto the field so they could listen for the next event she kept pulling at her top and skirt only causing Momo to swipe at her hands. As soon as they entered the field Izuka realized that the girls had been lied to and she could only guess who it had been. It really couldn't be helped but she sighed anyway.

"Look at you!" yelled a familiar voice as she spun around to see who it was. "Don't you just look cute in your outfit!" Her eyes narrowed at Kaminari but a small smile was tugging at her lips. Even though she knew he was the cause for this she couldn't help but smile at him.

"Kaminari how dare you," she said with a shake of her head.

"I just couldn't help myself and dare I say you're a treat to see!" Her hand struck out to smack him lightly on the arm but she was already starting to feel a bit better. Denki smirked but kept his mouth shut as he followed along after her. Izuka couldn't help herself and had to speak up to repay him for doing what he did. A mischievous smirk splayed across her lips as she slowed down to walk next to him.

"By the way didn't I see you making googly eyes at Ibara earlier," her voice was soft and sweet like honey but there was a playful edge to her tone telling him she wanted a rise from him. Unfortunate for him she got it as he began to choke on his own spit and hurriedly went to deny any claim.

"I- I don't know w-what you mean, Iz-chan," he said with wide eyes as he recovered.

"Oh, don't lie to me your eyes were basically hearts," she laughed but had kept her voice down the entire time. It felt good to laugh with Kaminari, even if the the sadness still tugged at her.

"Shut up," he cried as his eyes darted around for the girl in question. His heart soared at just the thought of knowing her name, secretely grateful toward Izuka for letting that slip, he hadn't caught it earlier. She waved at him before patting his arm.

"I'll be quiet now," she said with a small smile. "I understand." She did. That look he had given her when he laid eyes on her before the second round was unmistakable. She was happy for him having found that special person in his life so early.

"Thanks," he said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

Their playfulness came to an end as Midnight's voice rang out announcing the next event. Every year it was always a one on one fight, but the circumstances always changed. Midnight began to show the match ups and Izuka was surprised to find her name matched up against Ochaco, and if she won her next rival would either be Tokoyami or Sero.

Both were amazing opponents so the outcome wasn't one she could figure out ahead of time. Either one would be amazing to fight against.

Before she could stop herself her eyes searched for Kacchan's name, wondering who he would be going up against. When it fell on Shinso's name her breath stuttered out. After everything that had just happened between them she wasn't sure how that would end up turning out. There was no way Kacchan could just keep his mouth shut and if he did then the win would be in the bag, but if he didn't, she wasn't sure if he could break free from it again. Izuka wasn't even sure what caused him to break out the first time to begin with.

"Midoriya," Shinso's voice broke her free from her thoughts. Her head snapped up to glance at him. After everything it wasn't entirely surprising that he sought her out. Today was turning out to be more stressful than imagined.

"Yes?" she said curiously. It did cross her mind that he could activate his quirk in that moment but she was trusting him enough to keep from doing that. He was after all very important to Ochaco she would have to start trying to get along with him. It would take a little bit to become friends with him if ever really she was sure. So far during the festival the only redeeming moment was when he saved her from falling. She hoped he only acted like this because of the competition.

"Tell your boyfriend that I'm looking forward to our fight," he said smirking.

"He's not my boyfriend!" she coughed out glancing around them hoping Kacchan wasn't around or anyone other than Kaminari had heard him. Shinso let out a laugh quite aware of the lack of a title between the two but he wasn't stupid he could see what was between the two.

"Perhaps if you keep saying that it will make it true," he said before walking calmly away leaving Izuka angry behind him.

"What's that guy talking about?" Kaminari asked. "Who's he calling your boyfriend?" Glancing up at the scoreboard his eyes widened. "He thinks Bakugo is your boyfriend!" Izuka spun around and slapped her hands over his face.

"Kami!" she yelled out her eyes bouncing around. "Shut up! Not so loud!"

"This is horrible!" he blurted out around her hand. "That guy can't taint my precious cinnabon!" Izuka blushed at the recent new nickname, he had started to call her as such after finding out her love for the sweet. She began to block out the cries of injustice from Kaminari as her eyes searched through the crowd. Spotting familiar ash blonde hair caused her to begin to drag her upset friend away.

That was until she was stopped by a familiar redhead. "Looking good, Midoriya!" Kirishima stated with a laugh and thumbs up as he wrapped an arm around Mina.

She sputtered as the couple laughed at her but their laughter died down upon the noise of a loud explosion cutting through the air. "What the fuck!" Bakugo yelled out as his eyes landed on Izuka. At the sound of hair for brains voice commenting Izuka he had been confused which quickly turned into a spluttering mess at the sight of her. He was still beating himself up for just leaving her earlier but honestly he didn't know what else to do. This was far more than he was willing to let himself feel. "Why the fuck are you wearing that!?"

"Don't look at my sweet cinnabon!" Kaminari yelled out still indignant at what he heard from Shinso earlier. Bakugo spun around and trained his glare on him.

"Was this your doing, pikachu?!" He stalked over to the electricity user and Izuka took this time to run off still not able to be this close to Kacchan after what just happened between the two. Heading back to the nearest bathroom she quickly changed into her gym uniform feeling much more comfortable back in something that covered more skin.

Deciding she needed to go somewhere quiet to prepare herself for her first fight she took off for a lonely corridor.

So! -hides behind the nearest steel wall- Don't hate me too much! Ugh, I know I'm just horrible! But I promise this leads up to a breakthrough we are all desperately waiting for and the next kiss will go waaaayyy better! Our favorite explosive cinnabon couple will get together soon! I love me some slow burns so this was totally expected with this couple :D I feel like I sucked at writing the kissing scene though guys, I'm just not totally comfortable with that yet, but eh.

The bonus chapter will give you guys some cute moments though! So read on cause we will definitely be seeing more of this couple in the future!

Bonus: Chapter Four

Ochaco had felt like she had been hit in the gut upon seeing the purple haired angel for the first time. Angel was the first word that came to describe him but she was sure her thoughts were biased, if he was an angel it was a tired looking one. His purple eyes danced over her own and in that single instance she noticed how full of life but worn out they seemed to be. She had to force herself from running over to him in that instant, she had a race to finish.

Shaking herself physically she threw herself back into the race and jumped for the tight rope making herself float enough that even if she let go she wouldn't fall as she began to walk across.

After the race was over and she found herself still in the running she wasn't able to hold herself back as well. In actuality she had flung herself in the nearest direction and began to instantly look for the boy who held her future. A need to hear his voice, to hear him introduce himself, to just know his name, was a strong feeling. One she wasn't able to deny herself this time.

As she ran she felt this tug pulling her off into a random direction but she gladly followed it hoping it was the bond between the two. It only took seconds for her idea to be proven right as a familiar mop of purple hair came into view. Not giving herself a second to think over her actions she threw herself in his direction and came to a bouncing stop right behind him.

No thoughts of how he could possibly reject her flashed across her mind, after all your soulmate was supposed to accept you no matter what. Only hope and joy could be felt inside of her as she reached out to tap at his shoulder. The boy froze curious about who had touched him, most didn't try to talk to him, too afraid.

"Hi!" her happy voice rang out causing his heart to stutter in it's beating. "My names Uraraka Ochaco! You can call me Ochaco!" Before he knew what was happening a small smile tugged at his normally frowning lips. When their eyes had met earlier during the obstacle race he hadn't thought she would come to find him so soon. Being from a heroes class he figured she would have put it off until after the festival but this was a pleasant surprise.

"Hitoshi Shinso."

"It's such a pleasure to meet you!" her voice rang out as she took another step forward not able to help herself.

"A pleasure indeed."

It's super short and I apologize for that but this was like the perfect ending and honestly it just felt right to end it here. I go with my instincts people :D
