Chapter 4: Change of plans
Mina saw Izuku's expression and knew she had to fix the shit storm that was about to fall on them. She started formulating an excuse grabbing elements from movies and books that she had read. Ochako was no dumb girl, if Mina gives her enough milliseconds she will figure out about the crazy night that the two alcoholics went through.
"What do you mean by that?" Ochako questioned Mina's choice of words "Did something happen between you two?"
"Well… uh, you see"… "Fuck" Mina said in her head
"Here it comes" Deku was prepared for the inevitable clash, but a light swept away the darkness that was surrounding him, the waitress was ten feet away from his table, and she was getting closer.
"Good morning and thank you for eating at Tashiko's Grill. What would you lik-"
"GIVE THREE NUMBER NINE PLEASE" As he shouted almost everyone in the restaurant directed their gaze at him
"… Ok… Someone s hungry; you want some beers with that?"
"No… thanks" He said as he melted on his seat.
Mina couldn't help it, she wanted to laugh so hard, but at the same time she was quite amused. How far is he able to go just to save both of their dumb asses. Ochako on the other hand was even more irritated than before.
"Ok fuckers, you are definitely hiding something "
"We all have our little secrets Uraraka" Ashido refuted.
"I just wanted some ribs" Midoriya whispered annoyed.
"I'm not playing games Deku, I'm so fucking tired of being the only one here trying to keep our relationship in one piece" Her tone was aggressive and quite intimidating.
"…"
"Why is he taking all this shit…? Why isn't he defending himself?" Ashido was pissed at Izuku and his submissive attitude.
The waitress came back with their orders and quickly left after feeling the hostility in the air; everyone on the table took their respective food and started eating silently. Mina was throwing glances at Izuku and Ochako, she was still waiting for a response from the green haired boy. Ashido wanted to raise her voice and defend him, but that only would make things worst, in the end she said nothing.
"You know, I don't remember you being this big of a coward Deku… Have you ever ported something to our relationship to begin with?" Ochako said maliciously between her teeth.
Those words made Mina angry, she wanted to slap Ochako with everything she got, but before she raised her voice she noticed the way Izuku flinched at her Toxic speech. Izuku raised his head and saw Ochako straight to the eyes.
"He he he… That's funny… Me… A coward?" Izuku seemed like a different person, the fear had him pinned to the ground disappeared in an instant.
"If I remember correctly I was the one who had the balls to ask you out… while you were trying to push your feelings away…" Izuku was sharp as a knife "Hiding from yourself, instead of confronting the problem you chose to ignore it…"
"Mop head…" Mina wanted to stop him, but she decided not to. Ochako deserved to get some slack to, Mina wanted to smirk but at that moment was too inappropriate. Ochako was furious; she never thought Izuku would come back with such visceral response.
"Shut up…" Ochako whispered frustrated.
"But I decided that staying silent was not an option"
"Shut up"
"I needed to confront that weight on my heart"
"Shut up"
"And Eri was the one who pushed me forwa-"
"I said… SHUT UP!" As fast as a lightning Ochako raised her hand… and then she let it go.
A loud slap traveled through the local. Mina let out a gasp and Izuku's head violently turned to the side.
"If it weren't by you and that brat… My head wouldn't be a fucking warzone right now…" Ochako realized what had she just done; she covered her mouth with her hands and her. She gasped, her eyes started to get watery.
"Deku… I-I'm sorry"
"So… That's what you think uh?" Izuku slowly turned his head and faced Ochako, he had a pained expression, strangely no tears in his eyes.
"You can talk shit about me, I really don't mind at all… Fourteen years of my life were full of shit-talking against me… But if you dare to talk about Eri with such bitterness I…"
"Deku…" She extended her hand trying to reach him.
"I'm done…" Izuku got up from his seat and went straight to the waitress "Here, keep the change" He gave her the 20.000 Yen and went straight to the exit. The waitress was happy, in contrast to the two girls on the table.
"Deku wait!" Ochako shouted… but he didn't even bother to turn.
"Good job Ochako… Mop head Wait" Mina ran to the exit hoping she would catch him before he started running.
Ochako was left alone in that restaurant with her eyes full of tears and her hands trembling. Full of regret, she graved the hand that slapped Deku and hold it tight… "What have I done…"
"Mop head!" Mina was running trying to catch his friend. She managed to spot him in a rooftop leaned on a chimney, he was holding a photo. Mina jumped between buildings using her acid to slide and gain momentum, after a couple of stunts she was able to catch him.
"Midoriya *cof*… Man you are fast" Mina put a hand on his shoulder just to catch her breath… He was smiling at a picture of Eri, He loved the little girl and wanted to keep her safe of everything that could harm her, he busted his ass almost every day just provide her with the best money could buy, but also providing the love and attention she lacked when she was a little child.
"I'm sorry" Ashido apologized
"Why"
"Well… What happened down there… It was my fault"
"No… Ashido, don't apologize… It was a matter of time" Izuku said with a hollow smile.
"I fucked up, if I didn't open my goddamn mouth maybe Ochako would have forgiven you"
"Would you like to go out tonight" Izuku asked
"Uh…?" Mina was confused "Why would you ask me out after the little scene we lived down there?"
Izuku turned and gave her a warm smile, a genuine smile… throwing some of the pain out of the window, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and gave her a couple of pats on the back.
"You know, you have been doing the impossible trying to cheer me out through this fucking week… I own you one"
"Dude, you are scaring me" Mina said mildly smiling.
"Well if you don't want you don't have to..? Izuku closed his eyes and smiled. Ashido stroke her chin and hummed.
"Eri and Kota will be there, also Mrs. Sosaki" Izuku remarked.
"Sign me in" She gave him a thumps up
"Cool, we'll come to pick you up at 7:00 PM" Izuku's body was wrapped in green lightning and jumped to the next building.
"Ok, I'll be waiting Midoriya" She waved and ran to the other direction. Izuku nodded and returned to his path, Ashido smirked.
"See you around Milf hunter" She shouted making Izuku flinch. Twitching his eyebrow he turned his head and screamed a loud "Fuck y-"Just to crash into a signboard.
Mina laughed as she made her away between rooftops "This fucking guy…" She put her hand on her chest and smiled.
"Ouch, that hurt…" Izuku saw her figure slowly getting lost on the horizon, as the wind blowed his green hair; he noticed a small store on a Hall.
"I should get her something..."
"This is lame; do you have any R Rated games?" Kota said frustrated
"You don't like it because you suck" Eri whispered in his ear with a smug smile
"F-Fuck you"
"He he he"
Eri heard the door opening and immediately got up to her feet, she ran to the entrance and jumped to Izuku's arms, they both started laughing on the floor. Kota and Sosaki Peeked through the hallway, they simply smiled at each other.
"Well somebody missed me" Deku said
"Well yeah, Kota sucks at fighting games. I need a worthy opponent" She said while flexing
"Hey what's that supposed to mean" Kota screamed from the living room.
"Come on; let's go to the living room" Eri grabbed his arm and pulled him to the living room, Sosaki was on the coach reading a book and Kota was on the floor with his arms crossed and a face that expressed annoyance.
"Sosaki , Thank you very much for helping me with Eri"
"No problem Midoriya, I just hope the dinner wasn't just bait"
"Not at all… Kota, buddy how are you doing" Izuku crouched and patted his head,
"Cool I mean great I mean excellent aha ha ha… Fine I guess" Kota was stuttering trying to keep his cool in front of his idol.
"We need to work on that" Eri said with a hand on her mouth and the other one on her stomach. "I-I-I'm Hungry" Kota covered his face with his cap ran to the kitchen.
"He he… So how did it go?"
Izuku smiled, raised his arm and gave her a thumps up "A total disaster"
"Yay" Eri jumped
"Those two are the polar opposite of normality" Sosaki scratched the back of her head.
"I have some good news thought, Ashido is coming with us" Eri's face was filled with bright sparks "Hell yeah!" Eri responded fist pumping the air.
"Hell no" Kota screamed from the kitchen.
"Anyway, I have something special for you guys" Izuku started to explore the bag he was carrying, and pulled out a brand new game.
"Here you go"
"Wow. This is not suitable for my age at all!" She said smiling brightly. Kota appeared behind her and gasped.
"This is violent and will make us stupid… Can we play it?"
"Go ahead"
"You rock big bro Izuku" Kota and Eri ran to the console "Thank you dad" Eri returned and gave him a tight hug. She stopped and glanced at his cheek, she rubbed her palm on his cheek but Izuku took it and wrapped it in his hands.
"What happened…" She expressed her concern, Izuku kissed her forehead and roamed his hand on her hair "Don't worry… just play" Eri gave him another hug and seated next to Kota. Izuku went to the kitchen and Sosaki was waiting for him.
"Rough day uh?"
"Yeah…"
Sosaki approached Izuku and placed a rag with ice on his cheek "Look, things might look gloomy at the moment… But when you are on the bottom of the barrel… there is no other way out than up" Sosaki took some snacks on a plate."I'm going to leave some snacks to the kids, they better not be playing something inappropriate" She started making her way to the living room.
"Oh shit… KIDS ABORT ABORT!"
"6:45 PM Ashido's Household… This seemed like a better idea in my mind" Izuku was in front of her door, he was sweating for some mysterious reason… something felt suspicious; he gulped and prepared to knock the door.
