"Morning!" Ochako announce to everyone of her classmates when she enter class 1-A. Some of her female classmates return the greeting as the brunette spread her arms out in preparing to give hugs. The girls do the same before beginning a typical conversation in gossiping.

Watching his best friend from a far giving affection away to people in platonic hugs, is none other than Izuku Midoriya. He thought it was cute seeing a simple display of affection, and seeing the girl smiling, made him smiled as well.

And when Ochako turn her head to him. He flinch a little under those bright brown eyes of joy, hoping she didn't notice he was watching. With a wave of his hand (though it was more a rigid motion up and down). Then his inside jumped when the brunette begin walking away from her girl friends...to him...!

He didn't know what to do! Getting all flustered and muttering some nonsense of how to approach this moment. He got from his chair and move out of his assigned desk.

"Morning!" She greet with just a small wave of her hand and the pure smile on her face. But her expression faltered a little when Ochako see Izuku somewhat having his arm spread and his body lowered, almost similar to a sumo preparing himself before the match starts.

"Deku…?"

He open one eye and realize what he was doing. Quickly straighten his height and brought his arms down to his side with a awkward grin.

"A-A-Ah…! Morning, Uraraka!"

She could only smile weirdly before walking closer to him, causing him to be more nervous than before. Leaving the space between them a foot and a half.

"So how are you?" She begins the conversation with a generic topic, not to mention the her pitch change into a weird out joyful voice.

"Good...sorry about...that..."

"It's fine, Deku. We all have our awkward moments!"

'But does your moment involve with making a fool of yourself in front of a cute girl...?' Izuku internally asked. But instead agree with Ochako's relatable statement.

Then it went from knowing how one person's status is going, to gossiping and being nerds about heroes doing their jobs shown on the news.

"Oh! There's Tsuyu." Ochako announce the teal-hair girl entering the classroom. "I'm gonna go talk to her. Talk with you again after school?"

"...Definitely."

And so the curly-haired boy watch his friend walk away and envelope Tsuyu into her arms.

Revealing a weak smile. He sighed in defeat for he made another awkward moment with a girl he's most comfortable with. He slowly return to his seat. Place his arms on the desk and brought his head down lightly cushioning them, having them be his support pillows.

"Something wrong, Midoriya?" The class president walks by to ask his friend.

"Nothing...just being, Deku." Izuku replied through muffle sounds against his sleeves.

From a far, also known as from across the classroom. A group of girls meant to glance at their surroundings. But instead see a boy with green curly hair being in a slump with Tenya Iida at his console.

"Midoriya looks depressed about something." Tsuyu points out with her finger leading to the sad boy.

"I saw the whole thing~!" Mina the pink acid-power girl giggle knowing why. "Maybe he needs a hug!"

Ochako's blush topped her usual rosy cheeks as she quickly turn her head in question. "W-What?!"

Ochako may be social with everyone, but she have awkward moments. And one of them is hugging the opposite sex. Always paranoid if she hugging guys too tight or if she's hugging them wrong.

"M-Maybe some other time! Besides...! He was fine when we talked earlier..." Ochako avert her eyes to something else where they won't land on a single person. Biting the bottom lips in hesitation.

"I never take you as an awkward person." Tsuyu commented on the topic.

"How unexpected." A certain smooth voice surprised the brunette from behind. The girl's' eyes turn to their sparkling French-Japanese classmate, Yuuga Aoyama. His charming smile never left his face as he knows the current situation all to well. "Hugging the opposite sex is no difference than kissing people on the cheek as a sign of greeting." Navel boy then walk away with this random aura of sparkles.

Boy... This is Japan.

"K-Kiss?!" Ochako screams out loud that caught some people's attention. She instantly shut her mouth and look away from her classmates stares with her face fully red.

Her girl friends pat her shoulder in easing up the brunette's embarrassment, with their share of giggles.

End of school

Izuku was one of the last students to leave the school building. His head slightly hanging down, still bother about he fact he embarrassed himself in front of Ochako, and he didn't get one of her affectionate hugs. He doesn't know why he's so bother about it. They haven't been friends for very long, but he thought it would nice to try it out once. It wouldn't hurt to give it a shot, right?

Ochako was following behind to head home as well, being that she's one of the other student leaving last. Passing through the entrance door, she see Izuku's back, noticing his head was lower a little.

She feels bad about this morning. And so she was determine to find be a way to make it up to him in apology.

Then all at once, she remember her friends' recommendations how to cheer up the curly-haired boy.

"...!"

She doesn't know why, but her feet instantly ran to the direction of the freckle-faced boy's back.

"D-Deku!" She calls out to him, getting louder as she closes in on the boy.

"Urar—" He stopped when his felt small arms wrapped around his back and her front closely pressed against his chest. Before his mind could even process what was going on. Right now, Ochako Uraraka, is legitimately hugging him.

When he came back to reality. His face became fully red and was so flustered and confused, he didn't know what to do and didn't do the following response. Cautiously looking at their surroundings for anyone watching them.

"U-Um, uhhh— i-is th-there—"

"I'm sorry for not hugging you earlier!" The brunette didn't let him finish his question. Shouting at her friend's face, not wanting to see his reaction. She was so embarrassed she couldn't look at Izuku face-to-face, instead shut her eyes very tight as the blush deepened in a darker shade of red than the One for All student. "Please don't be sad!"

"H-HUH?! I-I d-don-mmf!"

Both thrown off by their own awkward embarrassment. Ochako's eyes were still shut closed, she didn't paid attention as brought her head up to have her lips landed somewhere on his face.

Unfortunately for her... it was on his lips.

Her eyes opened wide to see her lips landed on his. She immediately broke it off which lasted four seconds. Trying to explain her real intention but she could only stay speechless even though she trying to sputter a word out. After all... She meant to peck him on the cheek.

But it seem to be both of them broke the kiss off. Both were panicking at this sudden event and physical intimidate contact.

Everything was getting out of hand, especially for Izuku for each event was going one and rushing straight to another one. He became so scared of so many things coming at him at a confusing speed.

He try to pry the brunette off him, but she wouldn't allow him to do so. Ochako refuse to let him see her face, she press her dark red face into the front of his shirt.

The gravity manipulator may have press herself against him too fast, that Izuku tripped backward on his own two feet, bringing the girl down with him.

Izuku landed on his bottom. Ochako landed on her knees.

The boy position himself to have his elbows support as he slowly sitting up straight as the girl adjust herself to be less uncomfortable.

Taking deep breaths. Izuku wasn't less awkward as he was before when he observed the brunette in front of him. Remembering what she was screaming earlier.

'I'm sorry for not hugging you! Please don't be sad!"

Revealing a small concern smile.

"A-Are you okay?"

She only reply in tightening the hug and deepening her face into his shirt.

"I'm sorry…" She muffle through the boy's blazer.

He let out a sigh of relief when he figure out her original intention of today.

'You were making up for it... Thanks Uraraka.'

Ochako on the other hand wasn't feeling the same as Izuku. She already felt guilty enough for making a miss on her guy friend, but now she feels worst forcing this on him and making them stay in this position for a while now. and not to mention how she's feeling hot as hell for making a complete fool of herself.

'I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...'

Then she felt a pair of thin muscular arms wrapped around her shoulders and her waist. Knowing whose these obviously belonged to. It surprise her but was a little happy knowing he wasn't upset about this. Feeling his hands tighten a little on her right shoulder and her left side, she adjust herself again for this time, her chin on his shoulder

"Is there something wrong, Uraraka?" Izuku voice was calm and worry, not to mention a little hesitant and awkward.

"No... Everything's fine." Ochako smile relaxed as she slowly unravel her arms. She finally faced him despite her face still red. "We should proabably get going."

Izuku return the smile with his from earlier, but this time it was wider as his blush was the same shade as hers.

Everything didn't go as planned, but the outcome was good enough for her.

Ship it! Also I never got the guy's name throughout the whole series...Navel boy... That shall forever be in my memories of BNHA.
