Hints of NSFW stuff in this chapter - don't worry no Smut/Lemons - although I will be incorporating that WAY down the line in this story. Its marked mature for a reason so just remember that.

*Reminder - Anything that isn't mentioned or touched upon in this story that has happened in canon, still happened in the story. Essentially this story just adds onto canon, so everything that happens in the anime/manga will still happen unless the story does something different. For example, I might skip a lot of the early Season 4 stuff - but that stuff will still happen.

Thx for the support as always!

Uraraka sat on her plain looking, yet incredibly soft comforter. She had just come back from Deku's room, and the night had been, well - involved.

First off she just learned about Deku's fight with stain. Iida's fight with stain. Todoroki's fight with stain. That was a heavy truth to learn - and she just hoped she responded to it correctly. If anything else she learned that Izuku did trust her. Not like she didn't know this before.

Secondly... she was just told possibly the greatest secret in the entire world, and she didn't know how to feel.

On the one hand, she felt incredibly worthy. Deku had thought so highly of her that he had told her this secret. He did trust her, and there was no wonder why he didn't tell her before. If the villains had wanted, they could track her down and slaughter her entire family. His family. Their friends.

On the other hand, Uraraka felt unimportant, small. Did she really deserve to have a role in Deku's destiny? Was she the one, out of everyone he knew, that he thought was the best to tell this to? Was she even capable of being apart of his journey?

Slapping her cheeks, Uraraka rolled over onto her back. Of course, she was, he chose her to know this secret. And it wasn't only his journey, she had one as well.

And all of this just strengthened her previous resolve.

Uraraka was, with no doubt in her mind, head over heels in love with Izuku. She knew it, and a large part of her didn't care at all. She loved him with all of her heart, and tonight only confirmed that for her.

But tonight...also confirmed something else for her.

There was no time for her to be distracting him with a relationship. All Might told her, that it was his job to become the number one hero. That it was his job to be the new pillar of society, the symbol of peace.

Uraraka would not be the one to keep him from his destiny.

But there was something else as well. Uraraka had her own goal, her own 'destiny' if it could be called that. She wanted to become a successful hero too! And she wouldn't let her feelings be a distraction for herself either, she promised herself that she would give her parents a better life. That's what she would do.

That wouldn't make suppressing her feelings any easier though. But she would have to push through the pain, no matter what it took. She would still be his best friend, she would spend as much time as possible with him. They could train together, study together, hang out together, whatever they could do. She would be there with him, be right next to him.

Uraraka promised herself something that night, she would help Deku become the hero he needed to be. But she would be right there with him, keeping up with him, becoming the hero she needed to be as well.

Sometime between 12:00 and 12:30, the girl heard a knock at her door. It was quiet, almost not there. But she heard it.

A little annoyed, Uraraka kicked her feet over the side of her bed and trudged her way to the door. Clad in her pink and white Pajamas, she grabbed the door handle and creaked the door open. Who could be at her door in the middle of the night?

Her eyes peaked out from the doorway, and in her view was one of her classmates. Wearing baggy black sweatpants, and a dark grey tank top - Bakugou stood there completely silent.

For a second, Uraraka wasn't processing the current events. Bakugou had knocked on her door in the middle of the night? What would he want with her?

Almost becoming angry at the blonde headed boy, Uraraka opened the door the rest of the way. Bakugou was standing there with his arms crossed, a contemplative look on his face. The girl had to remember what Deku told her earlier after her talk with All Might and him, just so she didn't snap at him.

"Uraraka, I know you overheard what Bakugou did to me. Don't get mad at him, I've forgiven him. And I understand it might be hard to understand, but...he means a lot to me. I can't explain it, but just know he's trying."

Uraraka clenched her fist at her side, "What do you want Bakugou?"

The boy visibly shifted, still holding the same face as before. A small sigh left his mouth, and his arms unfolded, "Listen..."

He paused for a second, seemingly to gather his thoughts, but Uraraka was rather impatient, "spit it out Bakugou."

"He needs you."

Uraraka's face was nothing short of surprised.

Bakugou folded his arms once more, "Deku...he's not...right."

The girl had now officially transferred from incredibly pissed to incredibly worried, "what's wrong with Deku?!"

Bakugou seemed to hold back a growl, "It's not like that. He's not in danger, at least not physically."

Uraraka was starting to get more and more impatient, "Then what do you mean then? Just tell me—"

"I'm trying!" Bakugou whisper-shouted suddenly, shocking the young girl. He hated this so much, "I know you know about his panic attacks. But...he didn't just have the two you know about. He's had at least three more since then."

Uraraka's eyes widened, "w-what!?" Deku had three more panic attacks since last Saturday? Why didn't he say anything earlier?

"It had something to do with you, with you ignoring him for a few days," Uraraka's head sulked slightly, "but it was mainly because of One for All."

The girl had a visible look of confusion on her face, "One for All? What does that have to do with panic attacks?"

Bakugou leaned against the wall across from her door, "It's not something direct. He told me it was the stress from being the new sole holder of it, with All Might retiring and everything."

Realization clouded Uraraka's mind, it made a lot more sense now.

"He thinks he won't be able to live up to All Might's name, and that he won't be able to become the Symbol of Peace he needs to be."

That just made her feel like shit. How was she supposed to help him if she couldn't even figure out what was bothering him? It was so simple, "Oh...he didn't tell me..."

Bakugou sighed a little, "He wouldn't have," the boy looked down slightly, "he cares about you too much to bother you with his problems."

Uraraka was suddenly speeches. This entire time...he was the one looking out for her?

"That's why he needs you," Bakugou took a few steps towards Uraraka, "Listen. Your the closest friend he has here, be there for him."

"Of course I will be," Uraraka answered instantly.

Bakugou looked her directly in the eyes, "ya no shit. But I mean like, take him out. Do shit with him, keep him busy so he stays out of his mind. He's dangerous to himself when he's in his thoughts."

Uraraka nodded firmly, "I will. I promise," her mind lingered over something Bakugou had just said, "w-wait...t-take him out?" Her entire face resembled a tomato.

The boy scoffed and turned around, "you don't have to date him, even though it's fucking obvious you like him," Uraraka nearly fainted on the spot, "just...be there for him. I know you care about him, so just be that person he can come to. Be that person he can always talk to. I know he cares about you a shit ton, so I'm asking you."

Uraraka stared at the back of Bakugou's neck. Like it or not, she had to admit Bakugou was a good friend. He was making sure Deku was okay.

She would do all of those things. She already was going to, but now she knew it was important, "I promise, I'll be that person for him. I'll be at his side."

Unbeknownst to Uraraka, Bakugou smirked to himself, "Good."

With that, the boy walked off down the hallway, leaving the girl in the middle of her doorway. Well...she now knew what it was like to hear Bakugou's calm side. It was different, a little unnerving, but a welcome change.

Throwing herself back into her bed, Uraraka entered her thoughts ~ she knew what she had to do now. Well, she did before - but now it was crystal clear. She would be there for him, she would help her best friend. And she didn't mind at all. Uraraka knew him, and especially now, almost better than anyone. So she would do what Bakugou asked, she would keep him occupied. Make sure he isn't alone.

Not like that would be a difficult task, she really enjoyed spending time with the boy. Uraraka considered him her best friend, besides Tsuyu of course, but with Deku it was different. She could open to Tsu all she wanted, but...she felt comfortable around Deku. Like it was natural. And spending more time with him would only strengthen that bond.

Uraraka's last thoughts were that of gratitude. Towards Bakugou, for letting her know what had been going on and asking for her help. But especially towards herself, since she already learned to push down her feelings before. It was complicated, but part of her was not fully ok with that. A small part of herself yearned for those feelings.

But Uraraka yearned sleep harder, and so the brown-headed teen drifted off.

Izuku, Uraraka, Kirishima, Tsuyu, Mina, and Iida all sat in the common room of Height's Alliance. It had been a few days since Uraraka was told of One for All, and even though she felt closer to Izuku and All Might (even Bakugou) nothing had really changed with the rest of her classmates. They were all currently discussing what they would be doing for their hero work studies.

"So Uraraka! Mirio told me Nejire was helping you and Tsu get an internship with Ryuko the Dragon Hero! That so cool!"

Uraraka blushed lightly, "Heh, ya I guess it's pretty amazing. I'm just really grateful for the opportunity."

"Me too, kero. Midoriya, out of everyone I thought you would be the most excited. I mean, you get to work with Mirio and All Might's old sidekick!"

Izuku frantically scratched the back of his head, "I-I am! Or at least I was when Mirio first invited me..." the boy cringed and looked towards the floor, "apparently he's extremely strict. I'm not sure if he'll like me or not."

Uraraka noticed this immediately and placed a hand on his back, "C'mon Deku, it'll be fine. It's kinda hard to not like you."

Izuku's face threatened to blush, instead, he simply smiled back to the girl. He wasn't too worried about it if he was All Might's old sidekick, Izuku was sure he would be ok. Worst case scenario he just has to deal with it; if he wanted to become a Hero not everything was going to go his way.

"You will be fine Midoriya, you all will be," Todoroki stated leaning back and folding his arms, "Bakugo, and I won't be able to join any of you. So you're already going to be far ahead of us in terms of experience." Todoroki was still a bit upset at himself for failing the provisional license exams. He didn't even bother telling his father, although he had a feeling he already knew, Todoroki didn't feel like putting up with an attitude while he took his extra classes.

"Todoroki don't get like that!" Mina ordered lightly smacking his right shoulder, "you're not going to fall behind! Plus, not everyone is doing these internships you know..."

"Ashido is right Todoroki, even though you and Bakugou will be unable to join the rest of the class in the hero work studies, a lot of us simply do not have the contacts necessary to be working with such famous hero's," Iida assured fixing his glasses, "of course some of us will be partaking in this custom, but it's not like you won't have the rest of your U.A career to get these experiences yourself."

The rest of the kids sitting on the yellow couch nodded, wordlessly agreeing with their class rep.

Todoroki sighed and then brought a smile to his face, "I know guys, thank you. I'm just going to have to work harder to get my license and catch up to the rest of you."

Izuku stood up and brought his hand into a fist in front of his chest, "that's the spirit Todoroki! Speaking of catching up, I still have to catch up from the days I was on house arrest." The boy stretched his arms out in a lax manner, "I'm gonna go train a little outside. I'll see you guys later."

Before the boy could walk away, Uraraka stood up next to him, "mind if I join you? I'm in the mood for some training myself."

"Not at all, let's go!"

Todoroki watched as the two walked out of Heights Alliance, and around to the open field surrounding the building. A small look of confusion mixed with curiosity appeared on his face, "Iida, is it just me or has Uraraka and Midoriya gotten closer lately? They seem to be doing almost everything together."

Iida nodded stiffly, "you are correct Todoroki. Over the past few weeks, they have been spending a significant amount of time together." Iida smiled slightly before turning to face the half and half boy, "it makes me happy seeing them together. Especially after what happened earlier this week."

Todoroki nodded, "Agreed, I don't know what went down but it's the first time I ever saw Uraraka look genuinely mad. It seems they've reconciled though, and they're closer than ever."

Mina giggles to herself beside the two boys, "I bet they're dating!" A light blush covered both boy's faces almost immediately.

Stammering slightly, Iida coughed, "we should not be talking of Midoriya and Uraraka's personal affairs. It is frankly none of our business."

A fourth voice suddenly giggled next to Mina, which nearly gave the three classmates heart attacks. "This is all too priceless!"

"H-Hakagure!?" Ashido nearly screamed, "GIRL! Do not do that again! You nearly killed me! How long were you there?"

A heavy cackle escaped the invisible girl's lips, "I've been here since before you all sat down. It's fun to just listen without having to talk at all!"

"You know, that's creepy Hagakure." Todoroki pointed out with a light chuckle following.

"Eh, I like to think of it as stealth training, hehe."

"So Deku! What do you want to work on?"

Izuku brought a hand up to his chin, "hmmm. I wanted to see if I can get my kicks to have a more narrow buildup. Kacchan said that it was my weakness when we fought, and I think he's right."

"That sounds doable, I've actually noticed that a little too." Uraraka pointed out while doing some light stretches, "I think I know your problem."

Izuku smiled at the girl. She was really beautiful, and all she was doing was stretching out her legs, "Really? And what's that?"

Uraraka pulled an elastic from her pocket and tied her hair into a ponytail, "You copy Iida too much."

Izuku almost didn't respond, he was too busy staring at the girl's hair. He had never seen it tied up like that, and he liked it, "I-I copy Iida? How so?"

Uraraka giggled ever so lightly, "I mean when you asked Iida to help you with your shoot style. You just adopted a lot of his fighting style into it." Izuku's face shifted to one of realization, "The problem is Iida has wider kicks because he accelerates them mid-kick, so it's harder for the enemy to react. But with your kicks, it's always going the same speed."

Izuku finally got it, "So the enemy is going to have an easier time predicting and reacting to my kicks since it's always the same speed!"

Uraraka smiled in delight, "Exactly!"

"Wow Uraraka! That was amazing! I should've thought of that! It seems so obvious now..." Izuku trailed on starting to mutter about the diameter of his kicks and whatnot. Uraraka simply smiled on, it was amusing to see him in his element.

Out of nowhere the boy stopped muttering and became flustered, "S-Sorry...I was doing it again, wasn't I?"

Uraraka laughed, "it's ok Deku! It just means you are really passionate about improving!"

Izuku took the compliment, although he still felt a little embarrassed when he would do stuff like that, "Speaking of improving, we've only been talking about me. What do you want to work on?"

Uraraka started to crack her knuckles, "Well, I've been getting a lot better at keeping down my nausea when I'm weightless. So I wanna practice maneuvering in the air."

Izuku's eyes widened, "Uraraka! You realize that if you can learn to make yourself weightless without any side effects, you would basically be able to fly around everywhere!"

Uraraka's eyes copied the boy's, "I guess I never thought of it like that before, maybe I can put in for a suit change. Some repulsors to move around in the air, oh that would be so cool!"

The girl was beaming, and so was the boy. They were both geeking out over there quirks before they realized what they had come out to do. So naturally, they both started to train.

Izuku was on his phone, looking up martial art forms that would be better for kicking. He found taekwondo was a pretty popular one, so he continuously practiced the form at speeds that his classmates would probably have a hard time keeping up with. 8% of One for All was no joke, it was such a small change, but it definitely upped his capabilities.

Uraraka was floating in the air, barely feeling the Nausea. She found that using the momentum of flipping and kicking off things could propel her in different directions. So, the girl would float in the air, spin towards the ground, jump of the ground, and repeat. It was nauseating, but it was a good drill.

After an hour of this, both teens began to feel a little fatigue. Uraraka more than Izuku. She felt like she could throw up any second. Her body felt weak and dizzy from the continuous spinning, she most definitely had to take a break.

'Just one more wouldn't hurt, right?'

Wrong.

Uraraka jumped off the ground and flew into the air. Just as she was about to start her spin towards the ground, her entire body felt dizzy and loopy. The girl almost passed out midair. It took a few seconds, but Uraraka finally regained her senses. She pushed herself too hard, which in hindsight was her fault to begin with, but she now found herself in a predicament.

She was roughly 150 feet off the ground, with no way of getting down.

She could spin like she had been doing for the past half hour, but she would most certainly pass out. She almost just passed out from jumping up so fast, so she could not chance to spin again.

She could deactivate her quirk, which would release some Nausea sitting at the back of her throat. But she didn't have her hero costume on, so she would probably break her legs from a fall of this height.

A minute passed and her situation only worsened. She was slowly but surely gaining height as time passed. Izuku seemed to notice the absence of his friend, turning around in every-which-way to try and find her.

"Uraraka? Where'd you go?"

"Deku! I'm up here!" Uraraka screamed with all of her Might. She was high up, so it would be difficult to hear her.

Izuku, however, heard her voice immediately, he looked up and spotted his best friend floating high in the sky, "Uraraka!? Are you okay!? You're really high up!"

From the lack of response, the boy seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation. He wouldn't be able to jump that high with his current level of one for All, but he could meet her about half of the way.

"Uraraka!" Izuku screamed at the top of his lungs, "Release your quirk! I'll catch you, I promise!"

The girl heard his calls, but she was too Nauseous to respond. She had little choices here, so she would have to trust him. Pressing her fingers together, the girl squeaked out a 'release' and started promptly falling towards the ground.

Like a pro, the boy jumped up and caught Uraraka by the base of her hips. As they fell, he brought the girl closer to his body and prepared to land roughly.

Landing roughly they did.

So roughly, in fact, Uraraka had somehow ended up on-top of Deku. But not just, on-top, of the boy. No... sitting directly on top of his face.

One could not describe such embarrassment.

It took roughly two seconds before Uraraka zoomed off of the boy, and another two seconds before the Nausea finally caught up to her.

As the girl puked in a nearby bush, Izuku laid there. He had just had his face, pretty firmly pressed in between Uraraka's thighs...

He was immobile. He was Illiterate. Quite possibly the pinkest his face had ever been in his entire life.

'Oh my god...oh my god...oh my GOD!'

A small line of blood trickled from Izuku's nose. The boy's nose actually bled. He thought that was only in cartoons and anime! Was his nose actually bleeding right now?!

After a few more seconds of throwing up, what had just occurred finally hit the girl. She just, quite literally, sat on Izuku's face. Holy crap. Her face was a little less red than Izuku's, but her entire body trembled to make up for the lack of color.

Izuku slowly got up from the ground, and before she could even react he was on the ground in front of her, begging for her forgiveness.

"Uraraka I'm so so sorry! I was acting carelessly and I didn't watch how I landed! I'm so sorry! I'm such an idiot please forgive me I didn't mean to I swear!"

Watching the boy plead for her forgiveness on the ground, brought the girl away from her embarrassment. And soon, as his apologies went on, she began to laugh.

"Just kill me now I'm so sor—-"

"Hahahahaha!" Tears of laughter filled the girl's eyes as she cut the boy off from his apologies. Izuku paused in utter shock, how could she be laughing!

"D-Deku," Uraraka squeaked out mid laughter, "why would you apologize?"

The boy was scared. This was unusual, right? Usually, if something like this happened it would be with Mineta and he saw how those situations went down. But Uraraka just stood there cracking up gleefully, a small stain of throw-up still on her lip "I-Um...I..."

Coming down from her laughter, the girl got down on her knees next to Izuku and wiped her mouth. Her face was a little flushed, and her hair had fallen out of its tie and fell messily in front of her face. Using one hand to tuck a few strands behind her ear, Uraraka smiled at Izuku, "Deku, it was just an accident. Calm down ok? It may have been a bit...um...awkward," the girl's face grew a little redder, "but it's not your fault at all. I'm the one who was up too high in the first place."

The boy finally came to his senses, he did probably overreact a little, "Still! I should have been paying more attention to you, then you wouldn't have floated so high."

Uraraka gave the boy a look that screamed, "really?" It was sarcastic, it was cute, god he had to stop thinking like that.

Izuku chuckled lightly, "ya ok. Wanna just forget it and move on?"

Uraraka giggled in return, "ya, I think that'd be good."

Neither would be forgetting

"Alright then," Izuku exclaimed standing up and reaching a hand out to his friend, "If it's alright with you, I'm gonna keep on training."

The girl took his hand gratefully, "Not a problem, but I might just watch you from now on ok? Forgot how much trouble my quirk gives me if I push it like that."

Izuku had no trouble with that whatsoever. So, the boy continued to train, and Uraraka was happy to give him pointers here and there. Soon, night fell and the two said their goodbyes; retiring to their respective dorms. Their Hero Work studies would start soon, and they needed to get as much rest as they could.
