I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 19: The Question

Ochaco's POV

I looked up at the starry night sky. The stars shown brighter than I had ever seen before, the different colors of purple, blue and white mixed in to create the perfect light show. I can't take my eyes off them. It's no wonder Izuku hadn't wanted to go home yet. He wanted to show me this beautiful scenery.

I had only ever brought my love of the stars up to him maybe once or twice a few months ago when we first met. He remembered that? He remembered that the stars were one of my favorite things from so long ago?

I could feel the tears running down my face. He's amazing. He really is. Where would I be without him? I honestly didn't have the answers as I felt the warm breeze of the night against my face, my eyes glued to the magnificent night sky.

"You are beautiful you know." Izuku said to the side of me.

"Yes they are bea-, wait what?" I stammer, as I look at Izuku. The light from the sky made him clear to see. Izuku wasn't looking at the night sky. He was looking at me.

"Th-thank you Izuku but your missing the scenery! Look at the stars! They're never this bright!" I say, looking back up. I love that he was complimenting me, it made my heart flutter, but he really is missing an amazing view.

"Sorry Ochaco. I've got the brightest star right in front of me. Nothing else I'd rather look at. That's why I have something for you..."

I look at Izuku once again, blushing furiously at his comment but also curious. What could he have gotten me? When did he have time? We were together all day.

"Close your eyes." Izuku states. Oh boy. Whenever Izuku tells me to close my eyes I know he has something up his sleeve.

I give him a look of confusion before closing my eyes. I feel clasp something around my neck. I jolt at the feel of his touch around my shoulders and neck, I feel something loose and a bit cold around me.

"Alright, open."

I open my eyes and look down. I almost burst into tears then and there. A silver chain necklace was wrapped around my neck with a star shaped gem in the middle of it. I cup my hands around my mouth once again, the tears falling even heavier.

"Izuku... Izuku...." I couldn't get the words out. Why was he going this far for me tonight?

"Ochaco, I- Um..." Izuku stumbles. He sighs and looks up at the stars. I stay locked onto him. The stars suddenly don't compare to his brightness.

"School is going to get harder. A lot more work is going to e given to us and I thought that maybe we wouldn't have enough time to spend together to have a normal relationship. I thought maybe we should wait until summer or the end of this year to start actually dating..."

My heart fell. He didn't reject me but... waiting that long? I will if I have too but hearing that stung.

Deeply.

"However I don't want to wait that long. I wanna be with you. Now..."

My eyes widen as Izuku looks back at me. Is he really doing this now? Is this really happening?

"Izuku, are you sure? Its only our first date... I don't have a problem with it at all don't get me wrong! It honestly feels like we've already been dating this last week of studying together honestly but... are you okay with me? I get jealous easy, I can get a bit loud, I come up with some dumb ideas, I'm inexperienced-"

"Ochaco."

I immediately stop at the sound of his voice. He gives me a nervous smile.

"I'd much rather go through the hardships of the school year with you than technically without. If anything having you by myside studying and doing hero stuff would make it a whole lot easier. I'm serious."

A little gust of wind blows past us, moving his hair and the leaves around us.

He's serious.

"If you don't want to and think it's to soon, I understand, I won't be offended at all but..."

Izuku takes a deep breath.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

My eyes widen even more. Both ands are now clasping even harder against my mouth. The tears are thick enough to blur my vision now and my chest was rising and falling at an increasing speed. I was trying my hardest not to bawl.

I couldn't hold it in.

I balance on the tree branch, pushing through leaves, over to Izuku as fast as I could and buried my face in his chest. I bawl my eyes out.

"I was so worried! I didn't think you'd like me, then I thought I would be a distraction to you from becoming a hero, and then I almost lost you in the Chisaki battle, I thought you were gonna die, Nighteye said you'd die and I got so scared and I didn't wanna let you go again! And then I wanted to be around you more and you started getting more confident and I got happy and then I was embarrassed and now I'm really happy again and, and, and, WAAHAAAA!"

I cried my eyes out, into Izuku's arms, who was now gently holding me. We ended up crouching below the trees again and sat on the tree branch as I cried.

"So is that a... yes? Izuku asked. I nodded as I kept crying into his shirt.

This was the happiest nights of my life.
