"Alright good night guys!" Izuku waved to the rest of the U.A students and started toward his room. Once he was inside and he closed the door everyone sighed.
"Dang it I thought we had it this time!" Mina slammed her fist on the side of the couch.
"Yah, I guess we forgot to take Midoriya's scared side in consideration when making the plan." Yaoyorozu said while looking at Ochako's disappointed face. The group had just gotten back from a carnival, which they had planned to get Izuku and Ochako on the Ferris wheel together, where at the top Ochako would confess to Izuku. But as they got on Izuku started freaking out about how high they were and poor Ochako had to spend the whole time calming him down.
"It's ok Uraraka, I'm sure next time our plan will work, and you and Izuku will be together!" Toru tried to cheer up Ochako.
"Thanks Toru," Ochako smiled at Toru but then started frowning again, "it's just that this has been our third plan so far, and I haven't even held his hand yet…" Everyone sat in silence after what Uraraka said. The group she was with were the people Uraraka had trusted to help her with confessing her love to Izuku Midoriya. The group consisted of every U.A student except for Bakugo and Mineta (for obvious reasons).
"Well what do we do now guys?" Kirishima got up and tried to put a positive face on, "We can't just give up now, let's think of a new plan!"
"Yes, Kirishima's right. We have to stay positive if we ever want to succeed!" Iida shouted as he stood up with him, "Any ideas?" Everyone looked at each other and then thought for awhile until someone spoke up.
"I have an Idea, Ribbit." Tsuyu looked up at everyone. "Does everyone know about Izuku's plan to see that new action movie tomorrow?"
"Oh yeah, I believe he's seeing that one about the girl and boy who save the world or whatever." Shouto said out of the corner of the room where he had been the whole time.
"Well my friend actually has a cousin who helped with the effects for that movie, so I've already seen it, Ribbit." Tsuyu saw everyone's surprised faces.
"Really?I didn't know you had a friend in the effects industry!" Yaoyorozu looked up from her deep thought.
"Well what does that have to do with Uraraka confessing to Izuku?" Shouto said trying to get the group on task.
"Well it's actually not an action movie, it's a romance." When Tsuyu said that everyone got confused.
"Really?! But the advertisements clearly depict it as an action movie..." Iida tried to think back to the advertisements, but all he could remember was fighting and explosions.
"Yep, Ribbit, the people decided to market it as an action movie so action fans would see it, and then have the action fans tell the romance fans it was a romance and have them see it."
"Is that even legal?!" Kaminari voice cracked when he said that which made Jiro burst out laughing, which in turn made everyone start laughing, and Kaminari just sat there and took it. While everyone was laughing Yaoyorozu realized what Tsuyu's plan was. She waited for everyone to settle down and then spoke.
"So Tsuyu, your thinking of getting Midoriya to accidentally see a romantic movie with Uraraka? Your a genius!"
"No problem, Ribbit." Tsuyu gave a smile and everyone looked toward Ochako, who started blushing.
A romantic movie with Deku… Ochako started smiling and blushing more.
"That's a great idea Tsuyu! But if we are going to do this, we need to set it up right!" Once Ochako said that everyone started throwing out their ideas on how to make this plan work.
It feels so nice to have such caring friends! Ochako thought to herself as they planned the night out.
4:00
Ochako walked over to the dorms and checked the time on her phone.
2 hours… She thought to herself. Uraraka decided before heading to her room to get ready she would greet Izuku. She opened the door to the dorms and looked where Izuku and Iida were talking.
"Oh, hi Deku!" She noticed Izuku's face suddenly turn red as she walked toward him.
"O-Oh, h-hey U-Uraraka!" Ochako quickly thought of something to start of conversation with Izuku with.
"Today was really boring huh? I mean Present Mic wouldn't stop going on about verbs."
I hope that wasn't too random. Ochako thought as Midoriya quickly responded.
"O-Oh yah, and w-when Kaminari threw a paper airplane at Present Mic's head, and we all had to stay 5 minutes after class." Izuku started laughing so she started to laugh with him. While doing that though she started to think about what was happening tonight. If the plan worked then she should have a great "date" with Deku, and have the perfect setting to confess to him. Unfortunately the hardest part for her was the last part, the confessing.
What if I mess up my wording? What if he doesn't feel the same? What if we stop being friends?
Ochako started to go through every bad thing that could happen to her while confessing. The main question on her mind was, could she survive a rejection?While thinking of the answer she realized that everyone was staring at her.
"Aghh!" Ochako jumped back and shouted the first excuse that came to mind, "Ineedtodomyhomeworkbye!" Ochako the dashed into her room. Once inside she buried her head in her bed sheets to try and calm down from the embarrassment.
How am I going to confess to him, or watch a movie with him for that matter, if I can't even talk to him!
Ochako sat there was her head in her bed until someone knocked on her door.
"Hey Uraraka? You ok? I'm comin in." Ochako raised her head up and saw Mina walking into her room.
"Maybe we should call off the plan…" Ochako said quietly.
"What? No! Why are you so sad all of a sudden?" Mina put her hand on Ochako's shoulder.
"It's just that I get so nervous with him at times and I don't think I have the strength to confess…" Ochako put her head back into her sheets.
"Look Uraraka, all you have to do is be positive. If you keep thinking your going to fail, you are going to fail." Mina said smiling as Ochako looked back up from her sheets.
"T-Thanks Mina…" Ochako smiled at her friend.
"No prob! Also by the way it's time to go set up for your date!"
"w-WHAT!" Ochako checked the time on her phone, "5:20 Already?!" Ochako jumped up and started fumbling for her stuff.
5:40
Ochako walked into the theater with Mina as they made their way to the popcorn stand.
"Hello what would you like?" The lady at the stand said.
"Oh, a small drink, and that's it." Ochako said. The lady got her the drink and Ochako made her way to the theater. While Ochako did that Mina went up to the lady and said,
"Hey, there's going to be a freckled green haired boy here soon, could I ask you to give him a large popcorn instead of a small?" At first The lady looked confused but when Mina slid a 50$ bill toward her she responded,
"Alright I'll do it!" The lady said as she took the money.
"Thanks!" Mina then just walked away and met up with the other students.
Ochako sat down at J-9, as Iida had told her that Izuku was sitting at J-8. She took a deep breath and waited. After a bit she saw Izuku walk into the theater.
Alright let's do this!
She sat there pretending to not know Deku was coming her way. She turned toward him though, and saw him walking backwards away from her.
What! He can't hate me that much! She quickly tried to think of something to say to get him over to her.
"Deku? Wow what a coincidence!" She thought about what she just said and started to freak out.
...Did I sound normal? Wait was that too obvious? Does he know what I'm up to now? She tried to calm down, positive, positive…
"H-Hi U-Uraraka! Y-Y-Your seeing this movie too?" Izuku started walking toward Ochako again.
"Well yeah obviously I'm in the theater silly!"
Ok now smile!
She gave her best smile to try to make Izuku feel more comfortable around her. She then pat J-8 to tell Izuku to come sit.
"C-Cool!" Izuku sat down and Ochako started the conversation.
"Do you think the movie will be good?" Ochako turned to Izuku but blushed over her being so close to him.
He's even cuter up close!
"W-Well t-t-the setup is v-very bland b-but I think t-they could make it w-work…" Izuku mumbled and then smiled at her, which made her go crazy.
Cutecutecutecutecute…
The lights started to dim, "Oh the movie's starting!" Ochako, faced the screen and got ready.
After a couple minutes of silence between the two, Ochako started phase 2 of the plan.
"That's one big bucket of popcorn for just you." Ochako chuckled. Izuku quickly responded,
"Oh! U-Um that lady at the popcorn stand actually gave me a large instead of a small for some reason." Izuku blushed and grinned a bit which made Ochako blush.
"Lucky! I didn't have enough money for any popcorn…" she looked down and made a sad face.
"O-Oh! Well we can share mine! I mean I didn't think I could finish this anyway!" Izuku moved the popcorn toward Ochako.
Yes!
"Thanks Deku, you're the best!" She put her hand in and started munching on the popcorn. After that, the two started actually talking. About halfway in Izuku said,
"Could have sworn this was an action movie…"
"Oh yah... well maybe the action starts later." Ochako said, knowing that the only action in the movie was a little at the end. They kept talking until she heard one of the characters say the word "downtown". Ochako took a deep breath and prepared herself. This was a que word Tsuyu told her about to prepare for when the characters hold hands. When they hold hands in the movie, Ochako is supposed to grab Deku's hand while he reaches for popcorn.
Alright here we go!
The characters in the movie grabbed hands which then Ochako awkwardly moved her hand on Izuku's.
"O-Oh sorry!" Izuku said as he quickly zipped his hand back.
That could have gone better… his hand was so warm though. I wish I could have held it longer…
Ochako blushed when she heard herself say that. For the rest of the movie the two just talked and eventually the movie was over. The two then walked out of the theater and onto the street.
"Hey Deku, are you hungry?" Ochako asked.
"Oh, um yeah I was actually thinking of having dinner after the movie." Ochako noticed Izuku blush when he realized what was happening.
"Well, why don't we eat together then?" Ochako blushed with Izuku, and he responded almost immediately,
"S-Sure! Where would y-you like to e-eat?" Ochako smiled.
"Oh, um how about, oh I don't know… that ramen place 4 blocks east from here!"
Shoot! I hope I didn't sound too scripted!
"Oh, um sure!" Izuku turned east and started down the road, Ochako sighed in relief and smiled because she knew once again,
Everything was going to according to plan.
