Six hours after Ochako woke up, she lost the baby her and Tomura Shigaraki had created by accident. She had been sedated again but not as heavily. Tomura had left her room to pace on the roof top alone. He had asked Izuku to keep her company so he had time to himself after promising he wouldn't throw himself off the roof top. It took more convincing than it should have.

I want to know why. I need someone to explain this to me.

He looked up at the dark and cloudy sky. Tomura might've been slightly emo like Dabi had called him several times but he always asked the same question every single time- Why me? He hated his quirk. It was nothing similar to anyone else in his whole family. Nothing like anyone else had ever seen and now...

He hurt someone who actually loved him.

In his own twisted mind, he hurt her. Inflicted this on her without meaning too. She did cry after she was told before they helped her relax again. She had dealt with so much even though she had been out of it for a while. Her body was under too much strain. If he had never touched her, she would've dealt with a lot less.

What did I do? Tell me what I did to deserve all this?

What did she do to deserve this?

Tears finally rolled down his cheeks. He didn't want to cry that much because he felt like he should be stronger than that.

But he wasn't.

I just need an answer. Just an answer.

"Hey."

Izuku turned around to see his childhood friend standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"What do you want?" he said coldly.

"I want..."

The freckled hero snorted, "That's all you do."

Katsuki didn't say anything as he stood there for a few moments, motionless.

"I'm sorry."

Izuku turned more to look at him.

"Are you sorry?"

"I am... to you at least."

He stood up slowly.

"You should be sorry for them both. Tomura wasn't acting maliciously. This wasn't some ploy to get into our heads or infiltrate the hero world. He was kidnapped and so happen to fall for her. Like we did. She's no longer the Ochako we know. She's a woman with an unspeakable power and who better to learn from than him?"

"She could learn from you actually," Katsuki said.

Izuku didn't say anything.

Ground Zero looked down at the cracked floor.

"He said when she woke up she did her best to control it before she miscarried."

The blonde hero didn't say anything.

"He didn't want her to turn into a murderer. He wanted to save her from that fate. The murder of innocent people she had sworn to protect."

"It doesn't fix what he's done!" he snapped.

"I think it does," Izuku said coldly, "It fixes lots of things."

"He only saved her! One person!"

"One person who can save thousands! That's what he did! It doesn't make up for what he did but it's a damn good start! She's not just one person Kacchan! She's a hero! Our friend! How could you say that?"

After a minute, Katsuki cleared his throat.

"But what happens now?" Bakugou asked softly, "Is she running off with him or we getting him off those charges?"

Izuku's annoyed expression fell.

"I-I can't answer that because they haven't talked."

The blonde pro hero sighed and sat down beside of his friend.

"Tell me what happened."

Ochako's eyes started to open around two in the morning. She looked to her right to see Shigaraki's head resting on her bed. He was bent over uncomfortably but he was fast asleep. She sat up a little more trying to see what was in her hospital room. To her it seemed like no one else as there with them. She reached over and grabbed his hand.

"Tomura... Wake up."

He frowned.

"I'm up now. Wake up."

He looked up at her. He looked like he hadn't slept well in days. She had no idea how long she had been in there. It could've been weeks for all she knew.

"How are you feeling?"

"I feel exhausted," she whispered, "I'm scared. I'm so sorry. I am."

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

"What about Overhaul? He's still out there-

"Not anymore. We took care of that."

She pulled herself up a little more.

"You...?"

"Don't worry about who did what. You need to rest."

She looked down at her lap.

"I didn't want you turning your back on the wrong person. You shouldn't have to walk around watching your back for the rest of your life."

Ochako stayed silent. He squeezed her hand leaving his pinkie out.

"We have to figure it out now," he whispered with his voice filled with pain.

Her brown eyes started to water.

"I don't want too."

"Ochako."

She glanced at him, her cheeks already turning pink.

"I can't-

"I can't stay here forever because you won't be here forever. You'll leave here and go on with your life."

"I can't- not without you..."

She started crying.

"Ochako, there wasn't much I had in my life. I realized I only needed you to give me the kick in the ass I needed. I sit here before you hating myself for this but I don't want you running. I don't want you hiding, missing family and friends. I don't want you stuck in another white room."

Ochako reached out and stroked his gray hair.

"I love you- don't make me go back home alone."

His eyes started to water and it burned. It hurt his heart. It felt like someone was squeezing it really hard. Damn all these new emotions.

"My way of life isn't for someone like you. You wouldn't make it and I wouldn't want to force you too."

She didn't say anything.

"I will be there every chance I get. I won't just disappear. I promise Kurogiri will allow me to see you. I won't leave you."

She started crying harder, "You are leaving me."

She wasn't wrong.

"Let me lay beside of you."

She scooted over and he laid down with her. They held each other for the longest time without a single word while she cried into his chest.

Tomura held her close with his mind racing. Half of him couldn't wait for her to wake up so he could hear her voice again and the other half wanted her to stay asleep so he could be with her for a little while longer. Life was so unfair. He wanted so much and he couldn't have any of it. Not now.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"About what?"

"The baby. The doctor told me and I lost it. I didn't mean it. I didn't..."

"It was never anyone's fault."

Ochako buried her face into his shoulder.

"He told me I won't have kids. They had to remove my uterus... I was bleeding way to much. He ruined me. I wanted to have kids in the next five years and that's not going to happen now."

Shigaraki pulled her face away from his shoulder so he could look at her.

"He didn't ruin you in any way. He tried to create a destructive force to destroy innocent people but he underestimated you greatly. You are the greatest gift to mankind. All he did was create a stronger human- a stronger hero. No one owns you."

"Tomura-

"I can't let him know about you."

Her lips parted but no words came out.

"You'll be safe... Every step of the way."

A new wave of tears started rolling down her face.

"Let's sleep."

"Will you be here in the morning when I wake up?" Ochako asked softly.

"I can't promise you that. You know that."

She closed her eyes.

"I wish I could let you choose- make your own choice but while my sensei still walks the Earth... I will choose it for you, even if means you'll hate me for it. Good night Ochako."

"Goodnight Tomura."

She leaned into the pillows. She hated how tired she was but she couldn't fight it anymore. The last thing she saw was Tomura's sleeping face.

-Four Months Later-

Ochako walked out of the hospital. Her rehab hadn't been the greatest but the super intense gravity she had experienced over one hundred times had finally ceased to only her emotional out bursts. She had a case of syringes with medicine she could use in a case of an emergency and a big bottle of pills. She had to be seen once a week and she had to stay with someone until she found a new apartment too.

"Ochako!" Izuku yelled waving excitedly.

She smiled at the three young men standing by a newer gray car. It was about time for those three to get a nicer car. Though it was weird they continued to share the same one car.

"Hi."

She placed her bag in the open trunk.

"You can stay with us," Shouto said offered, "We have the extra room."

She frowned.

"Don't you have a three bedroom apartment?"

"We do, but these two are fucking now so there's an extra room now."

Ochako stared at Izuku whose face was now bright red then to Shouto whose was a bright pink.

"I always thought there was something there. Congrats guys. How long?"

"Four months or so I think," Katsuki answered as he opened the front passenger door for her, "It's just a guess with all the moaning I hear almost every night."

Izuku looked like he wanted to die right there.

"Thanks."

The happy couple got in the back and Katsuki jumped in the driver's seat.

The ride back to their apartment didn't take that long but it felt like it. She looked out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of Tomura anywhere. She missed him so much even though he kept up his end of the bargain. Ochako still hurt from the night they fell asleep together and she woke up alone.

Once they were in the apartment, Katsuki showed her Shouto's old room. She stepped inside. They had already decorated with stuff she liked. It was like she did it herself. She smiled. It was nice they tried so hard. Her mom and dad were out of the country seeing her aunt since she was really sick.

"I want to say I'm glad you're ok," the blonde said, "They made it seem like they weren't sure if you were getting out anytime soon."

"Therapy is going ok. If that's what you're worried about."

"Yea a little."

"Well, I got to make a few calls. Can I borrow your house phone?"

Katsuki nodded. He left the room looking a little disappointed.

I suppose I'm not surprised. After everything he found out he was pretty upset. I wonder how mad they would all be if they found out Tomura had been with me almost every night... It's more depressing I haven't seen him in a week though.

Every single time she crashed mentally, almost tearing apart her therapy room- Tomura was there to talk her down while he could barely move a finger. He was skinny guy but he was tougher than he looked.

"Here you go."

He handed her the house phone. Ochako had hoped he would've walked away but he just there awkwardly.

"Ochako?" he asked.

"Yea?" she asked looking down at the phone.

"You... you want to go out tomorrow night? Movie and a dinner maybe?"

"Katsuki... You know I can't."

"He hasn't been around for months. Do you really want to wait around for an asshole like that?"

"Yes I do. There's a big reason for it and not's not only for my good but yours too. Quit acting like he got up and left me."

The blonde hero didn't move from his spot.

"Can you go? I need to let Mom know I made it ok."

"Whatever."

He slammed her door in her face. Ochako only sighed. The moment he confessed his feelings two days after that night Tomura left, it had been a big problem. The way he looked at her. It made her feel guilty more and more. She really needed her own place fast. She didn't want to be mean but he kept pushing- hoping for a different answer from her.

Here I go.

She dialed her Mom's cell number quickly.

"Um, hello?"

"Hey Mom."

"Baby! How are you?! "

"I need my own place. This isn't going to work. It's so weird."

"What do you mean?"

"I... I just don't want to stay."

"I'm sorry sweetie. You can look online. Have you... talked to him?"

"It's been about a week. I miss him."

"I bet you do. He came and explained everything to us. He apologized and wanted to make things right."

Ochako smiled.

"I didn't know he did that."

"No matter what happens, we still love you. Things here aren't going so well... I'll see in a few weeks."

"Bye Mom, love you too."

Click!

Ochako tossed the phone on her bed with a heavy sigh. She started unpacking everything which wasn't much anyways.

I need to get out of here.

It wasn't like she could get up and leave anyways. About two weeks ago All for One found out about Shigaraki's nightly visits but he didn't find out who he was seeing and why. There was no papers about her disappearance or any rumors. She had no idea how they all managed to cover it all up but she wasn't going to complain.

I wonder if he will figure out where I am.

It seemed unlikely since he hadn't talked to her and coming near an apartment complex with pro heroes living in it isn't smart.

Ochako had went to even some of the darkest and worst places she could think of in hopes that one of Shigaraki's friends would see her or even him but no luck. She couldn't return to work for another two months as part of her recovery plan so that wasn't going to help her any time soon. Being out in the open and the news would've been her best bet.

She even sat on the roof too out in the open but no one other than the people that lived in the apartment complex showed up. Maybe he just didn't want to come. Maybe he couldn't.

This is getting to be annoying. Unless he knows where I'm at and he's having everyone ignoring me.

She groaned and laid back on the roof. It wasn't as comfortable she thought it would be. The movies always showed people laying on the roof top under the stars. Maybe she should've brought a blanket and a pillow.

I still can't find an apartment. They're all booked up. Maybe I just need a house.

She closed her eyes for while thinking. She thought of everything that could go wrong. What could go right. What kind of future she wanted. It was enough to cause her to drift off to sleep without meaning too.

"Ochako."

She had to been dreaming about Izuku because it sounded like him. They were fighting off some villain from their second year. For a moment he shook her shoulder.

I'm asleep. Just wanna sleep.

"Hnnn, just let me sleep Izuku damn."

"I hope he doesn't sleep in your bed because I would have to kill him."

Her eyes flew open to see Katsuki standing over her. He looked slightly concerned.

"Why would you kill him?" she asked.

"Because I'm sure Icyhot would be upset. I don't need a bunch of emotional people in my home."

Ochako laughed, "True."

"Why the fuck are you outside sleeping anyways?"

He looked at her funny. The way he was looking at her made her feel uncomfortable. She could see that he cared and it bothered her. She really needed her own place so she didn't see those puppy dog eyes. It bothered her that Tomura and Katsuki had the same colored eyes.

"Um, I needed time alone."

"It's three in the fucking morning, what kind of alone time do you need exactly? Shouto demanded we hunt for you. He almost called the cops. It took me thirty minutes to calm his dumb ass down."

"Sorry."

She sat up feeling her back crack. She definitely would feel in the morning.

"Alright, I'm going in."

She walked over the edge, pressed her fingers together and stepped off. She floated down to the steps as Katsuki jumped off near her.

"I will never understand women."

Ochako smiled, "I will never understand men either."

They walked over to the apartment door, she opened it and let him in first.

"Get to bed. Shouto wants to take you about nine in the morning to look for your own place. I think he just wants an excuse to get out."

Ochako blinked in surprise.

"Oh. Of course."

Ochako told Katsuki goodnight and she went to her room. She shut the door to be surprised by Tomura standing there. She almost fell over from the shock.

"What are you doing?!" she hissed quietly.

"I've been waiting. Where the fuck were you?" Tomura asked looking very annoyed.

"I was asleep on the roof... Hoping you would see me!"

He blinked.

"I don't normally look for people sleeping on the roof. You went to sleep on purpose on the roof so I would find you?"

She threw her arms around him and started kissing his lips feverishly.

"Slow down..." he growled.

"I can't help it!"

She grinned at breathlessly. His pale face was a light shade of pink and he was avoiding her eyes.

"I brought you a present..." he muttered turning his head away from her warm lips.

"O-oh."

That was a surprise.

"I was informed you still have a flip phone from high school."

"I... I broke it actually- four days ago. It wouldn't turn on anymore."

Shigaraki smirked.

"You snapped it?"

Her face turned red.

"Maybe."

"That's hot but not as hot as you swinging that beam like a beast."

For a minute she smiled but it fell quickly.

"You... you're going to leave again aren't you?"

He sucked in a sharp breath. Tomura knew she would ask but he really hoped she wouldn't have.

"I can't- I want to stay but I can't. Yet."

He pulled out a a gift wrapped in shiny blue foil. It had a tiny green bow on top.

"I decayed three different wraps before I put on gloves... It's my first one so I'm sorry if it looks sloppy."

Ochako took it looking at the metallic paper.

"You didn't have to get me anything," she whispered.

"I know but I wanted too. This phone is special though."

"Special how?" she asked ripping the paper off the box like shape.

"It has my number in it already. With some..." his face was bright red now, "With some selfies I took. I didn't want you to be lonely so I thought it would help until I could be with you everyday."

Her eyes started to water but she looked down at the phone box. It was a gray smart phone and it was definitely high end. She had seen Denki on commercials with the phone trying to boost the company's sells with a pro hero.

"This is too much!" she whispered quickly.

"I know you're frugal... Your mom told me so. She told me you were really poor growing up and she always wanted better things for you. So I want to help you have better things."

Ochako's mouth opened but no sound came out.

"I hope that's ok."

"You... you talked to my Mom?"

"And Dad actually. I googled... how the boyfriend thing works. I guess if it's serious they do things like that and I figured we were um... serious. Only considering everything that had happened and after I got some advice from Himiko and Saiko."

She opened her mouth but no sound came out once again. She was speechless.

"So... I better go..." he said looking embarrassed.

"No!" she almost shouted.

He slapped a hand over mouth quickly. The two of them listened but there was no sound but their breathing heard.

"I won't be able to see you much after tonight but I had to make it here. He wants to make his move in a few weeks. I want to relay everything to you. It will out us both but I trust you. You know who you should trust with this information. Bargain if you have too but if it goes the other way... We'll leave here and I won't need to look back. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. I want this to happen so I can be with you all the time not just at night and in secret."

Tears rolled down Ochako's cheeks.

"No more hiding and no more running," he whispered, wiping her tears away.

"What is it that you want?" she asked, "You never told me."

"I just want you. I told you- I only needed you."

"There just has to be more-

He put a finger on her lips to silence her.

"I can't tell you because I don't know. I literally have to google things to know what's considered 'normal.' We can talk about that when the moment comes."

She nodded slightly but she looked unconvinced.

"I love you Ochako. I wish I could touch you again. I miss the feel of you."

Ochako's cheeks warmed up. It wasn't as sexual as it sounded but it still felt that way.

"I love you too."

Ochako pulled on his black hoodie.

"I need you. If I have to wait for you then I need something to tide me over until then."

His pale face turned bright red.

"What? What about the others-

"I have to listen to two of them do it almost four times a week. I think it'll be fine."

Ochako placed the new phone on her dresser and pulled him onto the bed.

"Just for a little bit. It won't be long," she whispered.

"I don't think it would take me that long..." he confessed, "I've been thinking about you a lot."

She smirked, "No more talking."

The next morning, Ochako woke up realizing she was alone as she reached beside of her. The only thing there was a cold bed sheet. She sighed softly and go up. She stared at the bed sheets seeing the mess and balled it up feeling empty. She tossed it into the white, plastic hamper and grabbed her towel. She stopped by her dresser seeing the brand new phone he had bought her.

Her heart clenched at the sudden sadness that washed over her.

Damnit.

She unlocked it and looked into the pictures he had taken. There was one of him smiling, the other looked like someone took it of him watching TV. One of him sleeping and another of him giving the finger. She laughed out loud. Then the next one was of him in a suit and tie. He looked really nice. It made her melt on the inside and her eyes started to water. One day, she would see all those things. When everything was ok.

Ding!

For a moment, her breath caught in her throat as the text message at the top read:

I love you. Here's a picture from last night.

The phone went off again to reveal a picture of them in bed together, covered by the bed sheet. It was obvious he had taken it but he made it seem like he was asleep too.

She put the phone in her drawer and walked to the bathroom. Ochako shut and locked the door before sliding down it. The tears flowed more freely with the only one thought in her head.

I love this man.

It took her a couple minutes to regain her composure. She stood up and starting messing with the knobs to the shower. Ochako began chewing her bottom lip as she held her hand under the hot water.

I need another costume.

A small smile appeared slowly on her lips.

I guess I have things to do before then.

She stepped in and let the water hit her body. After a few moments of letting it hit her without thinking, a wicked grin appeared on her lips.

All for One better watch out because he is in for one hell of a fight.

The End

I had thought of several different ways to end this. I struggled the last week trying to decide how to end it and none of them sounded as good. So I leave it with a cliffhanger for you. As painful as it is, I thought this was best. I have separation anxiety with my stories for some reason and it makes it hard for me to decide on the ending.

Also, no sequels... Those are hard for me too and I feel like they take something away from the first story.

Anyways... I will write more of this pairing in the future but I must finish other stories first lol Have a great night everyone !
