50 years had passed since they entered UA together.
Ochako sat in her chair, flipping through hero news on her tablet. She was retired but she still liked to keep track of the goings on in the Hero world.
"Shigure is number six now... good for him." She muttered "Kyouka and Denki must be proud."
The door opened and Izuku, the former number one hero and her husband of fourty years walked in, taking a seat in the chair next to her.
"See the news?"
"I did. Shigure is a good kid, I can easily see him making the top five."
Ochako frowned slightly.
"He's not a kid anymore, he's an adult now."
"Yeah, it's just hard... one moment he's a little boy playing tag with Toshi and the next thing he's a pro hero."
"Time flies when you grow old." Said Ochako wistfully
"It does. It feels like just the other day we confessed atop the remains of the League's HQ... now fourty year's later we're grandparents."
Ochako chuckled.
"It sure does..."
They were both silent for a moment.
"Ochako... do you ever... miss it?"
"Miss what Deku?"
"The old days when we were younger... back when One For All was still in my veins... when we were in our prime, just wide eyed kids in UA dreaming of being tomorrow's heroes."
Ochako closed her eyes and smiled.
"Sort of..."
She opened her eyes and took Izuku's hand into her own.
"When I think about our youth, I think about pushing down my feelings... I think about what could have been if I told you how I felt... what we could have been."
"Ochako..."
"A part of me wishes my youth had more movie nights and couples dinners." She continued "I long for what our relationship could have been."
"High school sweethearts?"
"I guess... pretty silly I guess. Especially since we ended up together."
"That we did."
Izuku turned his attention to a framed picture on the wall of a much younger class 1-A.
"I guess a part of growing old is longing for your youth."
"Ha... Yeah..."
Izuku got up and walked over to Ochako.
"I long for the days when I could leap entire buildings... I long for the time when our love was fresh..."
Ochako smiled and nodded.
"I long for the days when you were still alive."
Izuku frowned.
"Ochako... you're doing this again..."
"I... I know... I'm sorry Izuku I just-"
"No, talking to me is exactly the problem, I'm dead Ochako."
Ochako sighed and got up.
"I forgot to take my meds didn't I?"
"Well the fact that you're hallucinating about me is proof of that..."
Ochako got up and walked out of the room, making her way to the bathroom.
"I swear I'd forget to put my own head on if it weren't attached..."
Ochako never really got over the day Izuku died. She had visions, convinced that he was right there with her. It got to a point where her own son Toshinori had to put her on medication to control the hallucinations.
Ochako entered the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet.
"So many pills..." she muttered.
The illusionary Izuku followed her in and gestures to a bottle in the cabinet.
"To the left of the peroxide."
"There it is, tha-"
Ochako stopped herself, remembering that nobody was actually there. Grabbing her medication she swallowed two pills and chased it with a glass of water.
"Take care of yourself Ochako."
And with that Izuku was gone.
"There that's bett-... taken care of."
Ochako shut her medicine cabinet and was greeted by her reflection in the mirror. It was a stark reminder that her best days were over, that she couldn't help anybody else. It reminded her that time has moved on and took Izuku with it, leaving behind sad old woman who longed for better days.
"No Chako... you're thinking those thoughts again..."
Ochako looked away from the mirror and returned to her chair. It was quiet in the house without Izuku. She still missed him.
Without realizing it tears fell from her eyes. She buried her head in her hands and began to sob, longing for the days when he was with her and longing for the day she could see him again.
Don't mind me I'm just stepping on your heart over here.
Yeah this And day 5 were the hardest to cone up with something for, so I ended up just making them sad. Tomorrow is the last day and that one will be more positive.
have a nice day and remember to take your medications, because not everyone has a Deku hallucination to remind them to.
