I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 25: Inko's Worry

Ochaco's POV

The rest of the time at Izu's house was amazing, the food the family feeling... everything was perfect. Except for the small nagging feeling in the back of my head about Izu telling me he had the quirk qualifications... When Izu's Mom told me he actually didn't!

Why was this bothering me so much?

I sigh slightly, helping Inko and Izuku wash dishes, drying them off and putting them away. I look over at  Izuku , who was right next to me, peacefully humming away, his mom humming the same tune with him, with a beautiful smile on his face. He looked as if he couldn't be happier. I let a small smile escape from my lips.

I really love him. I just... worry. Something is up with how Izuku got his quirk. All Might is seemingly the reason. What did the Number 1 hero pull Izuku into? And if he did do something... is it really a bad thing?  Izuku gets to be a hero, what problem is there? And honestly, if it was big.... Izu would tell me. Maybe he just remembers wrong...

As unlikely as that is, no one is perfect. Maybe he really has nothing to hide. He's always told me things since we first started dating, concerns about school, so on so forth. He's already told me so much anyway. I'm just being a worry wart. I smile a bit bigger and nudge Izuku with my shoulder a bit. He looks down at me, still humming along with his Mom. I stick my tongue out at him.

He grins, still humming, and bumps me a little back. I giggle, and scoot over so our shoulders were touching slightly. He chuckles as he continues to wash and hand me dishes.

"Thank you for helping us with the dishes, Ochaco." Inks says, turning off the sink water and drying her hands.

"No problem at all!" I say enthusiastically. "I had to pay you back somehow for the amazing lunch."

"You're welcome over anytime for some more, dear." She said, smiling sweetly. "When are you guys heading back to the school? It's a school day tomorrow isn't there?"

"There is but we'll hang out here for a bit, it's still a bit early into the afternoon." Izuku said, looking at one of the clocks on the stove.

Into nodded, seemingly happy that her son was staying home a bit longer.

"I'll be watching the TV in the living room doing laundry. Let me know if you two need anything alright?" 

"Thanks Mom," Izu said, leading the way to his room, as I skip behind him.

"What were you and your mom humming too?" I ask, following him down the hall.

"Just some song she used to hum to me when I was little. I think it was an All Might song from some video site..."

I laugh.

"What?" He asked looking over his shoulder.

"Nothing, it's just very Izu of you."

"Ha ha..."

We make our way into his room. He plops down, sitting on the edge of his bed looking down at any updates on his phone.

"All Might wants me to train with him tomorrow... y-e-s, i-l-l, b-e, t-h-e-r-e.... sent." Izuku says, repeating what he was typing. Once he puts his phone down I run and jump on top of him, knocking him down onto the bed and wrapping my arms and legs around him.

"And the villain is captured!" I called out, laughing.

"Oh no you don't!" Izuku swings me onto the bed and starts tickling my sides. I burst out laughing uncontrollably, kicking my legs around.

"THAT'S... NOT... FAIR!" I call between laughs. He always pulls the tickling move. We've had quite a few of these bed tussles, and I would always win until he found out I was ticklish.
