This is my first fanfiction, I hope you like it!!
The war against All for One, and his army of villains, was finally over. It's been a few months since then, but the city was being repaired at a steady pace. Meanwhile, U.A has finally been able to resume its academic schedule for the first time today, and Class 1A was just released from its last class for the day.
The students all rushed back to the dorms to relax, already worn out from the first day of class, in a long time. It was evening time and every single person from Class 1A was relaxing in the common area. Heck, even Bakugo was surprisingly not being his usual temperamental self. Meanwhile, Deku and Uraraka, who have not exactly revealed their feelings to each other yet, are chatting with each other about finally being able to go back to U.A.
"I'm so glad we're finally able to go back to our normal schedule Deku!!! What do you think?" the pink-cheeked brown-haired gravity girl asked him.
"I think I'm worn out," Deku said. "This feels more exhausting than the hero work we were doing months ago, but I'm glad to be back. There's still much more to learn about being a hero! Just because I defeated All for One, doesn't mean I'm a full-fledged hero just yet, but I'm going to continue pushing forward, until the day comes when I am the greatest hero in the world!! I still have so much to ask All Might, like- *mutter* *mutter* *mutter*."
Uraraka was happy to see that Deku is back to his usual muttering self. He hadn't done that since he left U.A. so long ago. Seeing him go back to his usual self, was a sight to see, so much so that she smiled at him, but the smile she gave him was much different than her usual smile. Deku all of a sudden stopped mid-ramble and stared at Uraraka:
"Has she always smiled that way before?" Deku asked himself. "Wow, she looks really beautiful." Deku all of a sudden got red, after realizing he was staring at Uraraka for quite a while. After seeing him turn red, Uraraka's face also got flustered.
"Oh no Deku, I just remembered, I have to clean my teeth, and brush my room really quick, I'll be back in a bit," Uraraka said, getting up and walking to her room, trying to hide her flustered face. "I sure hope he didn't see that. Gosh, when do I even tell him that I love him? Maybe I shouldn't, Deku probably doesn't feel the same way, I don't think," she thought to herself, while fanning her face with her hands.
*Deku 3rd POV*
Meanwhile, Deku is still thinking about how he stared at Uraraka. "Oh man, how am I ever gonna tell Uraraka how I feel about her? I need some advice, maybe Kaachan knows something." Deku gets up from the sofa he was on, and approaches Bakugo, who is alone, sitting at one of the dining tables, reading a Fruits Basket manga. As soon as Bakugo sees Deku in his sights, he immediately closes the manga and puts his arms over it, hiding the cover.
"Need something ner- Izuku?!" Bakugo asked
"Kind of. Let's just say, theoretically, just theoretically, I like Uraraka, what would be the best way to tell her how I feel?" Deku asked.
"First thing you need to do is do a better job at lying. I know you don't 'theoretically' like her, so just admit it when talking to me. Secondly, You don't even tell her you love her!! You just tap her shoulder, and when she turns around, you kiss her!! Aggressive pursuit!! It's basically how my mom got my dad." Bakugo said.
Deku thought about what Bakugo said, and realized he made a mistake asking Bakugo about this.
"Probably not I was hoping to hear, but I'll think about it Kaachan," Deku replied. "I think I'm gonna try asking Todoroki now. Enjoy Fruits Basket Kaachan."
"If you tell anyone what I'm reading, I will murder you before you even have a chance to confess!!!" Bakugo said.
Deku made his way to Todoroki, who was sitting at one of the other dining tables, eating a bowl of soba.
"Todoroki, is it okay if I ask you a question? Deku asked. Todoroki gave Deku a nod, as he continued slurping the noodles of his favorite dish from the bowl.
"Well, you see, I have certain feelings for a girl-"
"Uraraka?" Todoroki asked.
"Yeah. It's just, how do I tell her that I have a crush on her?" Deku asked.
"Well, I don't think you want to tell her that, because I think the last thing she wants to hear is that you want to crush her. Probably not the best thing to say," Todoroki responded, going back to eating his soba.
"No Todoroki, that's not what I mea- never mind, I got it. Thank you. Enjoy your soba."
*Some time later*
After Deku asked nearly asked all the boys from Class 1A the same question, with Sato giving a response to "bake her a cake, then confess," Tokoyami telling him to "show her your light, not your darkness," Koda suggesting he "buy her a puppy," Ojiro just telling him to "be yourself," and Shoji, Sero, and Aoyama unfortunately being unable to help him, he realized he hadn't asked Kaminari, Kirishima, Iida, or Mineta yet. As soon as Mineta's name popped into Deku's head though, he immediately took him off the list of people to ask.
Deku decided to leave Iida as his last option, and went to Kaminari to ask him next.
"Hey, hey, hey Midoriya, how you feeling bro? Feeling charged up now that we're back?!" Kaminari asked.
"Yeah, I am. Actually, I came over to ask you something." Deku said
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well, I've had this crush on a girl in our class for a while now, and I don't exactly know how to confess my feelings to her, any advice you can give?" Deku asked.
"I can already tell you're talking about Uraraka, you should just stop beating around the bush, but I'm gonna be honest with you man, I don't know how to answer you on that one. I mean, I'm tryna figure out the same thing with Jiro, so if you figure something out, can you let me know?"
"Yeah, sure," Deku replied.
"Alright, thanks man. And hey, good luck," Kaminari said.
"Thanks."
Deku felt his next option was to go to Kirishima, who was actually talking to Ashido at that moment. If anyone had any answers of what a man should do in a situation like this, then Kirishima was bound to have an answer.
"Kirishima, can I talk to you for a minute please?" Deku asked.
"Sure bro. Hang on Mina, I'll be right back," Kirishima said to the pink-haired horn girl he was hanging out with. Both Kirishima and Deku walked to the hallway, so they could have their private conversation. After they both stopped at the entrance to the hallway, Deku spoke
"Well, this isn't exactly easy to say, but do you have any advice on how I should confess my feelings to a girl I really like? Maybe even love?" Deku asked Kirishima.
"I'm assuming you mean Uraraka," Kirishima said.
"Why does every guy keep saying her?" Deku asked
"Because it's pretty obvious that you like her bro, plus, you two were honestly made for each other man. And don't fret about having feelings for her bro, that's honestly the manliest thing a dude can have. If you just want my opinion, show her how much of a man you are when you confess! Be confident bro, and just go get her! Mina would definitely agree, she's been pushing for you guys for quite a while, so make it happen bro! I believe in you!" Kirishima said.
"Thank you Kirishima, I'll think about what you said," Deku said.
"No problem. I'm gonna get back to Mina now, but good luck!"
Even though Kirishima didn't quite answer Deku's question on how he should confess, Deku gained some confidence just talking to Kirishima, but before he goes to talk to Uraraka, the last person Deku needs to ask is Iida.
Deku approaches Iida, who is sitting on one of the green sofas. Unsurprisingly, Iida is already studying. Once Iida sees Deku, he starts talking with him:
"Ah, Midoriya. Have you come to study too? You know, it's never bad to get a head start," Iida said.
"No, I actually came over here because, well, I need some love advice," Deku said.
"Love advice? Well Midoriya, it's a bold move you're making coming to me, but you've come to the right man. This is about Uraraka I'm assuming?' Iida asked.
"Everybody else has guessed her at this point. Yeah, it is," Deku responded.
"Well, you'll be glad to know Midoriya that your search for love advice has stopped here! But before you even do anything with Uraraka, you may want to start off slow, take my parents for example, they started off by-"
2 hours later
"And that's how they managed to stay married to each other, even after so many years," Iida said.
"Iida, not to be rude, but please, just tell me what to do. How do I confess my feelings for her?" Deku said, snapping his fingers at him
"Oh, if that's all you wanted to know, then the first step would probably be to ask her out on a date, and pick a spot that's special for you two, and maybe do it there, but I'd recommend waiting until the third date," Iida responded.
"That's it?" Deku asked.
"That's it," Iida said.
"You couldn't have told me this two hours ago?!"
"Your first question was love advice, not how to confess to Uraraka, but I recommend taking it slow Midoriya, but knowing you two, that may not happen."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Deku asked.
"Nothing. Now, you have an hour left before we have to be in our rooms, so if you want to do something, you'd better do it now," Iida replied.
Deku walked toward the hallway of the dorms, to get to his room on the 2nd floor. He didn't feel like doing anything right away, he was worn out enough after hearing the love story of Iida and his parents, but he felt he didn't ask everyone he could. There was still one more person he could have asked.
"All Might! I should ask All Might!!" Deku said out loud, stopping in the middle of the steps
"Ask him what?" Uraraka said, as she appeared in front of Deku.
"Huh?! Uraraka, when'd- when'd you get here?" Deku asked, trying to hide the blush that came across his face.
"Well, I finished organizing my room, and I was just going back to be with everyone else. I was actually hoping we can talk some more," Uraraka said.
"Yeah, sorry. I just have to call All Might really quick and ask him something. I'll be in my room, but I promise I'll come back down," Deku said.
"Okay, have fun with your call, Uraraka said.
After passing by Uraraka, Deku made it to his room on the 2nd floor. After lying down on his bed, on top of his Golden Age All Might blanket, Deku grabbed his phone and called All Might. *Ring* *ring* *ring*
All Might: Midoriya, my boy. It's almost time for bed. Shouldn't you be getting ready?
Deku: Sorry for calling All Might, but I really need some help.
All Might: Help?! Okay Midoriya, I'll be right over.
Deku: No, not that kind of help, just, some love help. About Uraraka
All Might: Hmm. I see. I don't know how much I can help young Midoriya, but if you want to ask anything, go ahead, because I AM HERE!
Deku: Well, it's just, I've liked, well, loved Uraraka for a while now, and I don't know how to tell her. I don't know if she feels the same way or not, but I guess what I'm asking is, how do I confess to her? How should I?
All Might: Well, I don't know how much advice I can give you young Midoriya. I was quite the single man back in my day, and confessing to a girl then, is a lot different now. But if you want to know what I did, to confess to my one and only girlfriend during the time, I just told her when the time felt right.
Deku: When the time felt right?
All Might: Yes Midoriya. You're not going to know when the time is, and if I'm being honest with you, there is no one way to confess. It's however you feel. Just don't force it. Whenever you feel the time is right, just tell Uraraka how you feel. You may be surprised to hear what she has to say.
Deku: I guess I'll try that. Thanks All Might. If you don't mind me asking, whatever happened between you and your girlfriend?
All Might: Well, that's a long story, you see, it all started when-
*Uraraka 3rd POV*
As Uraraka joined the others back in the commons, she was wondering why Deku was in such a rush to talk to All Might. Could it have been for the same reason why she left to her room all of a sudden? No, couldn't be. Why would Deku out of all people reciprocate the feelings she has for him? But as her mom put it, why wouldn't he?
Besides Uraraka cleaning her room, she spent quite a bit of time talking to her mom about what she should do about her feelings for Deku. Should she confess to him? Her mom ultimately advised her daughter to confess to Deku, when she felt the moment was right, but to also not wait too long. Feelings go away as time goes on, and if Uraraka didn't tell him soon, she would regret it for the rest of her life. And the worst thing Deku could say is that he doesn't feel the same way, but the best thing he could say is that he feels the same way. She knows she has to take the chance, and soon!
She went to Iida, one of her closest friends, who was still studying away, to ask him what she should do.
"Hey Iida. I need some advice on something," she asked him.
"Sure Uraraka, what is it?" Iida replied, still reading his textbook.
"Well, I've liked Deku for quite a while, but I don't know how I should tell him. My mom said I shouldn't wait, and I should just tell him, but I don't know."
"That's funny, Midoriya was asking me the same thing," Iida said.
"Deku asked you what?" Uraraka said, hoping she heard wrong. Iida's face went red with embarrassment, realizing what he just admitted.
"I'm sorry Midoriya, I've said too much," Iida said to himself. Uraraka, realizing she hadn't heard wrong, rushes to Deku's dorm.
"I have to tell him, if what Iida says is true, then I have to do it now!!" Uraraka thought.
*Normal 3rd POV*
As Uraraka is running to Deku's dorm, getting ready to confess her feelings, Deku is just finishing his conversation with All Might:
Deku: Thank you for the talk All Might, I'll definitely think about what you said.
All Might: Of course young Midoriya. Remember, timing. I'll be rooting for you. *beep*
As Deku gets up from his bed, and goes towards the door to open it, Uraraka arrives at the entrance to his bedroom at the exact same time. When Deku opens the door, he is surprised to see Uraraka waiting outside, all out of breath.
"Uru- Uraraka, what are you- what are you doing here?" Deku asked nervously.
"Deku, I- I have something to say to you," Uraraka said, breathing heavily. "Something I've been wanting to say for a long time.
"Me too Uraraka," Deku said. "I-"
"I'm in love with you!!!" they both said.
"Wait, really?" Uraraka asked.
"Yeah, for a long time. Maybe since the day we met, when you saved me from falling, and when you made that speech getting me back into U.A. I tried to ignore them, but I realized I truly felt that way about you, when we talked that night before our battle against All for One. I wanted to tell you right after the battle, but I-"
Before Deku could finish his sentence, Uraraka kissed him, fully on the lips. They both embraced each other, continuing their kiss, both of them feeling what the other felt. It was the sweetest thing for both of them. Uraraka accidentally activated her quirk while embracing Deku, but they still managed to continue, even while Deku was floating. They broke their kiss after about 15 seconds, both of them catching their breath.
"I'm so sorry Deku, I guess I got carried away, haha. Release!" Uraraka said, pressing her fingers together.
"It's okay, that actually made it more special," Deku said, as he landed on his feet. "I'm just glad no one was around to see-" As they both turned around, they saw the rest of Class 1A staring at them in awe.
"It's about time," Ashido exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you two!!"
"Ah, that's the manliest thing you've ever done Midoriya!! Nice job!!" Kirishima said, giving a thumbs up.
"To see my two best friends get together, never thought I'd see the day," Iida said.
"Midoriya, you lucky son of a gun," Mineta said.
"I'm still confused as to what's happening," Todoroki said
"Alright, alright, let's all give De- Izuku and Uraraka some space! I'm pretty sure they still have more to say. Everyone clear out!!!" Bakugo yelled. As Class 1A was clearing out, Bakugo mouthed to Deku "Don't screw this up." After the class all left, Uraraka admitted all of her feelings to Deku.
"Deku, I've never met someone like you. Someone with a heart like yours, always willing to sacrifice yourself just to save one life, and just how caring you are of everyone. You have been my biggest inspiration. I've always aspired to be a hero, but you made me a better hero than what I could have imagined," Uraraka said.
"Uraraka, I-"
"And I want to be with you, I want us to always be there for each other besides just being friends. Through whatever thick and thin, I want to be there by your side, so you're never alone, and-"
As Uraraka was about to finish her sentence, Deku used Blackwhip to pull her in, and kiss her again. They both closed their eyes, holding each other close, taking in this moment. They both knew that things would be different between them from this point on, but nonetheless, they were looking forward to the bright future that they would end up sharing together.
