All My Favorite Things About You

together with you

The sound of crickets chirping and the occasional wind blowing through the trees filled in the awkward void of silence the two sat in. it had been months since they were together like this. Alone.

Ochako sighed and brought her knees up to her chest, continuing to pull blades of grass out the earth. Slightly frustrated she furrowed her eyebrows together. The fluffy feeling she never liked came back running through her body. But stronger. She looked up, her eyes met with the boy she loved spending her days with.

Izuku was staring up at the sky. Probably admiring the stars.

It was no secret she admired izuku. She had brushed off all the times Mina and the others teased her for rambling on about him all the time and told her she "was in love" making her turn redder than a beet and sink down in her seat. But this time it was different. It was no use. Maybe she was in love with izuku.

no.

She WAS definitely in love with izuku midoriya.

She just couldn't understand why he had been avoiding her for so long. It kind of hurt her, but it's also not like she hadn't been avoiding him too. Everytime she would find the courage to go up to him and start a conversation either her cheeks would heat up and that fluffy feeling would come back, causing her to freak out and run away or if she would see him come over to her she would make some dumb exuse like having to use the bathroom.

It's not like she wanted to avoid him. Actually, she wanted to stay and finally talk to him, but something in her body couldn't keep her from making her face turn red and jump up from her seat yelling she had to use the bathroom before running off.

As for izuku, he would notice her coming over to him, and his face would redden up and he would flee away. Maybe he was just, really busy? It was weird on both sides. Like they were some type of contagious virus or something. It was weird. It came out of nowhere like nothing. It's like she woke up one day and decided to helplessly fall in love. It's not like she wanted to avoid him, it's just, this concept of love was too awkward for her to understand.

The more and more ochako thought about it, the more her face turned from frustration to sadness. She wanted to figure out what was wrong. So things could go back to normal. For the both of them. It had been two months of them clearly avoiding each other and creating an awkward tension when forced to talk to each other. Even their classmates noticed, to which they would just brush off with another lame excuse.

The thing was, she was nervous. Or maybe scared was the right word. What if he didn't want to talk to her ever again. What if it was her fault. She was the one who started avoiding him in the first place. What if he was mad at her for it, that's why he stopped talking to her. Those thoughts swarmed her mind, before she brushed them off.

She was 17 now. She didn't have time for silly thoughts like that to distract her. She deeply inhaled and exhaled before raising her head again, getting ready to get a couple things off her chest. Butterflies swarmed in her stomach like she ate a jar of them, not helping the situation at all. She wouldn't be surprised if izuku could hear her heart thumping in her chest.

"H-hey, deku-kun?" she lightly asked. She would be surprised if he even heard her. He turned around giving her a light smile. It was the first time he heard her say his name in a non forced tone in months. He was happy. "Yeah?" he asked. Ochakos eyes widened and she blushed at the sight of him. He was giving her a sincere smile and the stars reflected in his eyes making them way brighter than they already were. Her heart thumped harder in her chest and she was hesitant to continue. He was so beautiful. She wanted time to stop and forget what she was even going to ask him just so she could stare at his breathtaking face forever. Her lips quivered, feeling bad she was about to ruin his breathtaking smile with her dumb question. She sighed, stuffing her head back in her knees.
