I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 18: The Date

Deku's POV

"Izuku!" Ochaco's voice called out.

I take a deep breath and look her way. I was struck by a wave of heat in my cheeks. Ochaco was running towards me, wearing an amazing outfit. her hair was once again in the ponytail, leaving the longer fronts of her hair down. She was earing a black shirt with a green jacked with the sleeves rolled up, with a deep navy skirt and black flats. She also had a brown purse with a long strap that went around her shoulders. She looked beautiful.

"You look amazing..." I said quietly as she came up to me. A blush had came to her face. She had heard my mutter.

"I-Um... Thank you, Izuku. You look really good yourself..." Ochaco said, putting her two forefingers together. "So, um... what's first?"

I stood there for a minute admiring her beauty before realizing I was staring.

And that she had asked me a question.

"Oh. OH! Well the original plan for this date was to go to the mall right?  Might as well start there first!" I chuckle nervously. "Is that alright with you?"

"Of course! Well, let's go!" Ochaco smiled brightly. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the train station.... WE'RE HOLDING HANDS!

I feel my face burn but I immediately shake the nerves away. It's not like we haven't been closer... BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE SEE'S? WOULDN'T THAT BE LIKE... EMBARRASING?

I start matching Ochaco's pace, trying to control the burn on my cheeks when I realize Ochaco is blushing even harder than I am. I smile. Good to know I'm not the only one embarrassed by this. Still, Ochaco would rather be embarrassed than not hold hands. She always surprises me.

We make our way to the train station and get on the soonest train to the mall. Ochaco and I were able to find a decently less packed car with only about ten people inside. Ochaco walks towards the seats and sits down, beckoning for me to come sit next to her. I nod, and sit next to her, still leaving space between us. That seemed to bother her. She pouted for a second and closed the gap between us, wrapping her arms around mine.

"Ochaco! There are people around you know..." I say flustered, though I can't say I wasn't happy.

"I know... But I want everyone to know that your mine..." She said quietly, blushing and looking away from me. That made me go completely red. She considers me hers? Suddenly my nerves had subsided, at least for the time being. I can't let nerves get in the way of this date. I have to give her the best time of her life!

Ochaco and I eventually found our way to the mall.

"Wow it feels like forever since we've been here huh..." I said looking around the huge shopping district. "Still need that bug spray?" I ask laughing.

Ochaco, who was still gripping on to my arm, gripped tighter.

"I told you I was sorry about that! This was supposed to be my make up day for that she pouted giving me the puppy eyes with those brown orbs of hers. I laugh again.

"So what did you wanna do first?" Ochaco pulled an Asui and put a finger to her chin.

"Oh, I wanna go there!" She said, looking at the arcade.

"Alright lets go!" I said as we both ran in.

Ochaco ended up beating me in pretty much every game, though I couldn't help but be All Might in any of the hero based games we played. I used the excuse that All Mights quirk was similar to mine... but I really just wanted to be All Might.

However I did notice when I said my quirk was similar to All Mights, Ochaco gave me a strange look. Maybe I said too much? I still can't have Ochaco finding out about One for All... but how could saying something like that, esspecially about a game give it away? I think I'm worrying too much, the arcade was dark anyway, they keep the building dark as to make the games look brighter. I'm sure I'm over thinking things as usual, she went right back to being her usual self.
