I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 26: Late Night Changes

Izuku bolted up from his bed, before collapsing back onto his hands and knees. His breath was heavy, he was sweating, and couldn't have felt more tired, but he felt it. The feeling of One for All coursing through his body. He hadn't activated it, it was acting on its own. He put a hand to his head. Which user of One for All was that? The original? A few others were more clear this time as well... What is One for All trying to tell me? What about this singularity?

Izuku removed his hand from his face placing it back on the bed, still on all fours, however Izuku gasped when he saw his sheets. Burned, torn, and ragged. He looked around his room in a panic. There were marks on the walls, the chair had been flipped over, curtains torn, and even his own arm sleeve had been ripped apart.

Izuku started to panic. He couldn't let her see this! She would definitely ask questions. Izuku checked his phone. The time said 12:58 a.m.... She usually arrived at 1. am. Izuku jumped from the bed, grabbing as many pieces of paper that had flown to the ground as possible before hearing a rapping noise at the balcony window. Izuku furrowed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He turned toward the girl now standing outside of his balcony door.

She smiled that beautiful smile and waved vigorously at him. Izuku walked towards the door, still holding the papers, and opened it up, allowing her in.

"H-Hey, Ochaco... what brings you here at this time of night?" Izuku asks nervously, giving a fake laugh, rubbing the back of his head. Ochaco give him a look.

"Izu, what do you mean? I'm always here at this time, you told me I could-" She stops, taking in the mess before giving Izuku another look, this time with worry.

"Izuku what is this? What happened?!" She asked, examining the wall and the bed.

"I-I dunno, I guess I'm a heavy sleeper?" Izuku said nervously, still pretending to laugh it off.

"Izuku... even the heaviest of sleepers don't BURN THEIR SHEETS!" Ochaco yelled at him, holding one of the blankets.

"Ocha, I- um, well...."

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Izuku and Ochaco looked at each other, they hadn't expected anyone else. Izuku walked over to open the door.

"Wait Izuku! Hold on-!" Ochaco started, however the door was already open and the visitor had already started talking.

"What is all that ruckus you were doing!? I am trying to get some beauty sleep to keep my a twinkling for the morning! And then there's you! You were banging the wall and some other small-" Aoyama starts, still wearing his night cap before spotting Ochaco, holding the torn sheets. He took one look around the room, and then repeatedly back at Izuku and Ochaco, and smiled.

"Désolé. I am terribly sorry, please keep enjoying yourselves in the night of Sparkling Romance!" Aoyama said, twirling away and closing the door behind him. Izuku shrugged, not understanding what Aoyama had meant. Ochaco turned beat red.

"Izuku! Why would you open the door?" Ochaco asked, putting blankets to her face.

Izuku opened it assuming the person at the door had been disturbed by his sudden outburst during his sleep, however he couldn't understand why Ochaco was so embarrassed.

"I probably disturbed him so I thought I'd apologize. He left before I could though...." I said putting his hands on his hips. "I guess he didn't need one..."

"Izu you dummy! He left because he took a look at this room and thought we were... you know...." Ochaco trailed off, face still in the blankets. However her ears were a bright red still.

Izuku processed her words before understanding what she was getting at. His face burned.

"OH...Oh....Oooooooh..." He said, once again scratching the back of his head.
