Hello, everyone. Your girl's back to update another chapter for you all. Izuku and Ochaco will be hanging out at the mall for their day while they'll talk about their time at U.A. soon. I don't own the canon characters as they rightfully belong to their actual owners while I only own my OCS.

Ochaco seat down while she waited for her friend to arrive. The brunette girl thought about wanting to ask her friend to hang out again next week. Ochaco knew that U.A. will be extremely hard, so she wanted to spend as much time with Izuku as possible since their respective classes will make it difficult for them to see each other. However, Ochaco deeply cherished her friendship with Izuku very much and nothing will ever change that her feelings no matter what.

"Ochaco-chan, sorry for keeping you waiting," Izuku as she walks up to her friend with her beloved maid, Yuzu, walking behind her.

"Izuku-chan," Ochaco said happily as she got up while her friend approaches her.

The two girls warmly smile at each other after what felt years since the last time they were together. The brunette and green-haired girls each other's hands while they began to talk about how their graduation ceremonies went.

"My mom cried when I went to take my certificate. My dad even said he took a picture of it while I was shaking the principal's hand," Ochaco said as she fondly recalls her graduation day and how her parents told her they were proud of her.

Izuku talks about how her family was happy that she graduated from middle school now and is now a step closer to the adult world. However, the green-haired girl couldn't actually tell her brunette friend the whole truth yesterday. She didn't want to cause trouble to Ochaco and her parents as they already have enough on their plates right now. Izuku knew that her mother would have cried a river during the whole ceremony while her father held her and her grandparents would simply chuckle while they all watch going on stage and took her certificate.

"Izuku-chan, what's that mark on your neck?" Ochaco asks, pointing to the barely covered hickey on the green-haired.

Izuku blushes when her friend saw one of the hickeys she was trying to cover with some makeup. Since Tenko had given her his love bites, Izuku had to cover them so no one will realize that she was having sex with someone in fear of what her family will do if they find out. The green-haired girl had used the makeup that her aunts use on her at the special events they had at the house or other places.

However, it appears that she somehow failed to completely covered one. Izuku didn't want to lie to her friend and say she actually hurt herself while she was changing. But she didn't know if she could tell Ochaco the truth since she was afraid that her family will force her to end their friendship like they did with her relationship with Tenko. She was also scared that her aunts and uncles will try to ruin Ochaco's and her parents' lives as they're poor and couldn't stop a rich family from destroying their lives.

Izuku could even imagine her family blackmailing her to stop see Ochaco by threatening the brunette girl will be kicked out of U.A. if she doesn't agree. Izuku is fine with the hurt her family gives her since she uses to it by now, but she won't allow anyone to share the pain by her family with her. Ochaco and her family deserve to live a life of happiness after living in poverty for years.

"Izuku-sama accidentally hurt herself while she was asleep. She wanted to this from you so wouldn't be worry," Yuzu said, lying to keep Izuku's secret from her friend.

Yuzu knew how much Izuku cares for Ochaco and worried that she might lose her friendship if the Fukui family finds out about her relationship with Tenko and they might think that Ochaco was involved with it somehow. Yuzu was fine if she loses her job because that meant Izuku will still have someone with her in her hour of need, who was trying to be a hero one day.

"Izuku-chan, you shouldn't have to hide that you're hurt from me. I'm your friend, so I have every right to be worry if something happens to you," Ochaco said to her beloved friend.

Izuku felt her heart skip a beat when her brunette friend said that. She wonders how she could ever manage to found such a good friend in Ochaco. The tiny green-haired felt she didn't deserve the brunette at all. Izuku felt she was taking Ochaco for granted.

"Izuku-chan, are you okay?" Ochaco asks the green-haired girl.

"Huh?" Izuku said before she finally realizes she was crying again. Her tears were already falling down her cheeks. The green-haired girl wonders if she could go a day or two without shedding tears over something.

"I'm sorry, Ochaco-chan," Izuku said as she dried her tears away.

The green-haired girl hated when she cries in front of people since she knows just how uncomfortable they could get by being near an over-emotional girl. Even though Tenko said that he likes seeing her cry, he's just one person and other people would probably walk away from her in embarrassment.

"It's fine. To be honest, I actually prefer if you have real tears instead of a fake smile," Ochaco said before leading the other girl to one of the shops here.

"Come on, there's a cute thrift store that my mom and I like going to," Ochaco said as she led her friend and the blonde maid to the thrift store.

"It's been a while since I've been into one," Izuku said as she let her friend take her there.

While the girls went inside of Ochaco's thrift store, a pair of red eyes were watching them. Tomura Shigaraki couldn't keep his eyes off his Izuku while she smiles at the brunette girl. This brunette girl had actually thought she could have all of Izuku's love for herself. This stupid girl believes that she could take what's his and be a Pro Hero all while she was making Izuku smile easily.

He watches as Izuku and her friend began to talk over something. He couldn't make it out, but he believes it was something about the dress that they both were looking at. It was simply pink, so he couldn't get why those two would be so excited about it. It's just clothes. He was wearing a simple black hoodie and grey pants. Nothing special but enough not to track Pros Heroes to him.

However, he couldn't get this burning feeling of jealousy out of his chest. It spread through his entire being like his Quirk decaying a person's body. He began to scratch his neck while angry watches his lover laughing with her friend. That brunette girl was ruining everything he had to work hard to get back. And she was going to destroy it again by taking Izuku from her. Izuku belongs to Tomura Shigaraki. Those love marks on her neck are proof that she is his by body and soul.

Hey, everyone. Thank you for reading this. It means so much to me. Izuku and Ochaco really love and care about each other a lot. Unfortunately, some focuses may try to pull them apart. Also, I really love it when they interact with each other.
