I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 13: Can I Ask Her?

"OI, THAT'S MY MOVE DONT'T COPY IT!"

"JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMILAR DOESN'T MAKE IT THE SAME!"

Explosions went off between us in, the arena ring shaking as wind pressure and condensed firepower collided mid air. I was testing out the new gloves and armbands that Hatsume had designed for me to use one of my original moves effectively.

"WELL MINE IS BETTER!" Ka-Chan shouted, sending a wave of AP Shots back at me. I sigh and raise my finger up and flicking it multiple times, sending repeated burst of wind pressure, once again colliding with Ka-Chans AP Shots.

This time however, Ka-Chan had used the collisions as cover to get up close, flying through the explosions towards me. I charge One for All to 8% and sidestep the incoming explosions, grabbing Ka-Chan mid-air, turning and slamming him into the ground, back first. However Ka-Chans aim, even being thrown down never faltered. His arm was still outstretched and aimed right for my face. I try and jump back, but the few feet I of distance I had gained handed completely shielded me from the explosion that had came mere seconds after.

I sit up, already charged at 8%, while Ka-Chan is already on his feet readying another assault.

"That will be enough for today you two!" A voice calls from the edge of the arena.

"Let's call that a day, you two have already been at it for an hour, even in this age of quirks the amount of stamina you two have is amazing."

Ka-Chan makes a sound of disapproval and walks off, grabbing his bag at the door and storming away. I sigh. I admit that my progress has grown but wasn't that the point of the training I do with him? Was it to help me grow and not ruin All Might's legacy... or was it just to make sure he stays ahead?

Honestly now that I really think about it, it's most likely the second one.

"Young Midoriya," All Might turns towards me after watching Ka-Chan walk out. "While its great that you are training to further your experience with One for All with Young Bakugo... I have noticed that you usually ask him or agree to train with you if you have something on your mind. Anything going on?"

I feel that familiar heat return to my face.

"I-um-well.... ugh..." I say scratching the back of my head and looking down at my feet.

All Might stares at me.

"You aren't blaming yourself for NightEyes death are you?" All Might asks, looking down at me with serious blue eyes.

"NO! No, I'm not I promise. I was but... a special person helped me out..." I say, feeling the burn on my face increase even more.

"In fact that special person is what I'm thinking about currently..." I became more and more inaudible.

"Young Midoriya..." He said seriously. "There wouldn't perhaps be a... girl... you like would there?"

I looked up with fear in my eyes. I hadn't thought about this, All Might not approving. What if he tells me I can't focus on Ochaco? I told her I would try... I WANT to try and become something with us? Will One for All get in the way?

I look down again. I silently nod and brace for the lecture of how I can't focus on romance when dealing with the legacy of One for All.

"That... Is... AMAZING!" All Might shouted, poofing into his muscular form.

"Really?!" I shout. I was shocked at his answer... and that he could miraculously still transform into his muscular form.

"Indeed!" All Might says as he transforms back into his usual self. "Love is something that should always be spread Young Midoriya."
