Holding hand pt2
Ever since that day, Izuku been shunning Ochako, by so far a week now.
On the outside the girl is fine, since she made some other friends. But every time she see him. She never felt so heartbroken.
On the other hand Izuku befriended a tall boy named Tenya Iida. Every time he see her. He would instantly turn away so he wouldn't feel much guilt than before.
"Did something happen between you and, Ochako was it?" The ravenette ask in curiosity seeing how they would break away every time the two made eye contact for four seconds. The tall boy being the key witness. He see Ochako would almost be on the verge of tears, and he would see Izuku distraught about it.
"It's nothing…" The green-haired boy responded very quickly as the tone of his voice drop to a low key.
Being a good friend. Tenya didn't press on with the question.
"Could it be you like Ochako?" Being the straightforward guy (and friend). Tenya went to a different topic.
The small boy sputter out a rejection.
When Izuku headed home. He been walking alone without anyone to chat. Times where he remember how he and Ochako used to walk home and talk about anything, whether it was something fun or stupid, or both. They would always have a good time when they were together.
But he shook his head to erase the memory now that he broke the years of friendship with the brunette. And guilt begin building up inside him once again.
"Izuku?" Speak of the devil. The voice who spoke his name was a voice he know very well.
He didn't need to turn around to see who it was. And instead stood frozen with his feet practically planted through the sidewalk's concrete.
Then he heard Ochako's petite footsteps coming closer.
Then out of fear he finally pick up his feet and ran away.
"IZUKU!" The girl chased after him with determination to sort things out between them.
It became a game of cat and mouse with Izuku the mouse and Ochako the cat trailing behind by a couple of meters.
The green eye boy arrived to his house and successfully open when he saw his mom's car in the driveway. And he hoped that his mother just arrived and he made it in time where she's just getting her house key out to lock the front door. Miraculously he was right and made a final sprint to his bedroom.
"Izuk—?!" Mrs. Midoriya surprised to see her son very early to be home. She see her son would be home at least 20 minutes later in walking speed.
"Wait!" Then Ochako ran through the open door. She didn't have time to greet the woman when she have one goal to pursue.
The boy turn to a corner after dashing upstairs to reach his hand out to the doorknob. Ochako increased her speed as well as she tries to stop him.
"I NEED TO—" The brunette fail miserably when he quickly entered the room and slam the door shut with a loud bang. Over the top that he slammed the door close to her face and she heard the lock on his door switch. "...To talk to you…"
"Please… Can we talk about it…?"
No reply from the other side of the door.
"I wanna clear something up! I know it's my fault that this happen to you!" She spoke again but with a more determined and concern voice.
Izuku on the other side sat down on the floor with his back against the tall block of wood. He's hugging his knees as he buried his head to block the voice of the girl. More guilt building up almost to the point of overflowing.
"I didn't know that you were getting bullied, for something I did… I'm such a jerk for not noticing..."
'Please don't say that.'
"And I must of ignored you and I didn't notice that you were in trouble."
'I chose to hide my problem, so you wouldn't worry about me.'
"I'm sorry for not noticing and not helping. I-I didn't know h-how…" Her eyes began watering and her voice starts sounding shaky. "L-Long you been hurt… And I d-didn't do anything." Eventually hot liquid stream down her face as more tears trail behind.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! P-Please say s-s-something… It's all m-my fault~!"
'I should be saying that…'
"Hate me a-all you want! B-but I want to m-make this right!"
'I don't hate you…'
"I w-want us to be friends again!"
Still no reply.
Ochako slowly falling down onto the floor with her forehead against the door. Sniffle and hiccups was only what you can hear from her.
Mrs. Midoriya only saw the scene of the little crying her heart out. Hurt was written on all three faces in the house. She was about to quietly approach the girl until she heard a door lock switch.
The door open to slowly reveal the green-haired boy, who's almost on the verge of tears.
He crouch down to see Ochako on her knees with her hands place in front of her for support.
Izuku's mother decided to walk back downstairs since this is something kids need to settle without adults' help.
Izuku continue watching the girl before him who's still crying. He hesitantly raised his hand to place it on top of one of her own.
"Why do you keep wanting to hold hands?"
Their eyes met. And she felt his hand tighten its hold, showing the green-haired boy wants an honest answer. And Ochako knows she need to be honest with her friendly wants. She took a deep breath and would let out a few sniffles as she give him her answer.
(*The commas will be her sniffing her nose.)
"Because...I-I know you'll be t-there. So I know you w-won't disappear, and stay by my, side. I always, want you to b-be, a-always with, me. I really l-like you and you're, my best friend. I w-want us to, stay together…!"
She felt very embarrassed, that more tears fell as her face redden by natural reason and life-like reasons. And all her reasons leads back to Izuku Midoriya. Causing her to tilt her head down to have more of tears to land on the floor.
"Ochako…" He leans forward with an unreadable expression and lifting his hand off of her's.
She slowly rose her head up to see his face coming closer.
"Izu…" Her tear-filled eyes locks in with his forest green eyes, until his face moved to the side of her head, and arms slowly wrapping around the girl.
"I'm sorry…" He place his chin on Ochako's shoulder. "I should be the one crying for my friend." He tighten his hug around the brunette's shoulder and back. "I c-could never hate you. You been my friend ever since kindergarten, and I'm the one who's being a jerk...I'm sorry."
Ochako could only be baffle by all of this. But she know that she need to return the hug. She hooked her hands onto Izuku's shoulders from underneath as a way to hug back.
"S-So I guess, we're friends again?" She let out a weak laugh.
"Yeah. I'm glad we are."
They both rise up from the floor. Sharing ready eyes and awkward smiles. After their eyes dried with swollen eyes left.
"You wanna hang out at the park?"
"Sure. Let's go ask my mom."
"Kay…!"
Out of habit Ochako grab Izuku's hand. She realize her mistake and instantly let go with both hands in the air.
"S-Sorry…"
He didn't say anything but instead grab onto one of her hand and began walking downstairs.
"Izuku?" She was so confused when she mainly focus their clasped hands together.
He met her brown eyes with sincere and pouty lips, along with a dark red blush complimenting his facial feature.
"O-Only at school we don't do this."
She smile brightly and nodded excitedly as they met the first floor.
"But this time I'm doing the leading from now on."
And the first MHA two-shots have come to an ending.
Please review on what you think of the ending! I ended adding more than what the chapter needed… And it's 50-50 that's it good or a waste of space XD.
