Day 4: Domestic Life Of Izuku and Ochako

The decision to move the students into dorms was made for the protection of the students. It ensures that there will be a pro hero that can respond if anything were to happen. The students get to be with their friends; however, there ups and downs in living together. A few rules had been established to avoid any problems. It was a good plan but like all plans, there will always be unforeseen situations.

It was Ochako's turn to cook dinner. She decided to make katsudon; a recipe that she had asked when she met Izuku's mother. Humming a tune while she worked. A smile on her face and white apron above her clothes.

"Mhm," Izuku said as he walked in the kitchen. "Something smells good."

"Hi Deku-kun," Ochako said. "Why don't you go sit down? I'm just about done here."

"What are you making?" Izuku asked.

"I'm making katsudon and a side of soup." She replied.

"Really!?" Izuku asked in anticipation. "Do you need help with anything?"

"Would you mind stirring the soup while I clean up here?" She asked.

"Sure," Izuku replied.

He went over to the stove and began stirring the soup. Ochako noticed that he was stirring it too fast and decided to give him a bit of advice.

"You don't have to stir so roughly you know," she said giggling.

"Oh ok. I'll try to be gentler." Izuku replied.

Izuku wasn't any more gentle whatsoever. He tried to be gentle but to no avail. Ochako walked behind him and grabbed his hand causing the boy to go stiff. She guided his hand. Slowly stirring the soup.

"See? You have to be a bit gentler." She said. A warmth spread throughout her body as a smile appeared on her face.

"Ah...Yes!" he replied embarrassed. Trying to fight the reactions that he was having from her proximity. 'Uraraka-san! Please stop! Don't you realize what you're doing to me!'

The two had become oblivious to the world. They stood there, enjoying or panicking from each other's company. Unfortunately, their moment was cut short when the sound of a book hitting the ground brought them out of their moment. They turned to find Yaoyorozu, bright red and clasping her hands to her mouth.

"I'm sorry for interrupting!" She screeched before bowing and walking the other direction.

With the interruption, Izuku was freed from his previous position. Thanking the creation quirk user for her timely appearance in his mind. Saving him?

"The soup should be ready now," Ochako said before walking away. "Thanks for the help Deku-kun."

Izuku noticed something on her face. Judging from what she listed on the menu, he assumed that it was soup base. It was nice to see something as a smudge on her face rather than the usual cuts and bruises that they usually had because of training. She had already returned to what she was doing earlier. The picture of her busying herself with simple chores was somewhat refreshing and was so alluring to Izuku that he could not help but just but stare. Enjoying the sight and committing to memory. She seemed so at ease and in her element. Deciding that he should stop ogling her before he got caught, he turned to leave but stopped. That smudge was tantalizing him.

"Wah!" Ochako screamed. Jumping from his sudden appearance. "What is it Deku-kun?"

"You have a smudge on your cheek," he said. Before she could react, he raised his hand and trailed a finger on her soft, silky cheek to wipe it away.

Speechless, Ochako stared at the boy as he looked for something to clean off his finger. When he found none, he shrugged. Under a widening gaze, he placed his finger in his mouth and licked it clean.

Ochako stood frozen in place. Rag suspended in mid air. Her heart pounding in her chest and steam was probably coming out of her ears. Too stunned to form coherent thoughts. So she settled on gaping at him.

"Well," Izuku said with a smile before leaving. "I'll see you at dinner, Uraraka-san."

Her body slumped to the floor as soon as he was out of sight and groaned. The sight of him licking the finger that had just brushed her cheek had felt so intimate. She could still feel the trace of the shiver that had ran down her back as he did it and her cheeks suddenly felt warmer.

"Deku-kun, you idiot," Ochako whispered. Too mentally and emotionally exhausted to be rational. "Don't you realize what you're doing to me?"
