Below the Surface - IzuOcha

Chapter 26- Return

Uraraka's Pov

Class 1-A Dorm: 7:30 PM

'That took quite a while...' I think as I lean back in my desk chair and stretch. 'That math homework was really difficult.' I think as I start to put away my books. 'Maybe I could ask Deku-Kun for help sometimes, he usually does well in Math Class.' I think as I put away my science book. 'I'm sure he wouldn't mind teaching me-' I think before remembering what happened earlier.

"And then, I-I saw you outside my door and I..." I said before briefly pausing. "I couldn't h-hold back and I k-kissed you, I'm sorry!" I said, yelling the last part as I turned around completely, taking a few steps away from Deku-Kun.

"W-Why are y-you apologizing?" Deku-Kun asked as he stuttered slightly.

"Y-You're upset that I k-kissed you out of nowhere again a-aren't you?" I asked hesitantly as I took a few more steps away from Deku-Kun.

"Why would I be upset with you?" Deku-Kun asked as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"Deku-Kun..." I said as I got shocked and flustered that Deku-Kun was holding me again.

"I-I was e-embarrassed, but not upset. I-I a-actually enjoyed that..." Deku-Kun said as he stuttered a bit more.

"Y-You did? T-Then..." I said shyly, contemplating my next words. 'I'm really going to ask this...' I thought before finishing my sentence. "C-Can you k-kiss me?" I asked sheepishly as I blushed brighter than before.

A deafening silence fell between us when those words came out of my mouth, I was blushing an incredibly bright red as I tried to comprehend what had been said.

'Oh my god, why did I say that?' I thought as I mentally berated myself.

"Deku-Kun?" I questioned as I didn't expect Deku-Kun to let go of me all of a sudden.

"Ochako, please look at me..." Deku-Kun said suddenly with a bit more determination in his voice.

'Is he actually going to...' I thought as I turned around to see a blushing Midoriya looking directly at me with a resolute gaze.

"Ochako..." Deku-Kun said as he grabbed my chin and lifted it towards him.

"Deku-Kun..." I said as I let Deku-Kun lift my chin.

'It's going to be awkward talking to him after that...' I think as a blush creeps onto my face. 'But it won't be too bad, after all, it's Deku...' I think as the blush on my face subsides slightly. 'I wonder where Deku-Kun is anyway. It's been a while since he was here.' I think as I get up out of my desk chair. 'Maybe he's in his room.' I think as I head toward my door.

Class 1-A Dorm Hallways - Second Floor Boys' Side: 7:33 PM

'Let's see if Deku-Kun is here.' I think as I knock on the door. 'Is he asleep?' I think after hearing no response or sound come from the other side of the door. 'I'll knock again.' I think before I knock on the door a little harder. 'Maybe he's not there.' I think as I still hear nothing from the other side of the door. 'I should probably check to see if he's in the common room or ask if anyone knows where Deku-Kun went.' I think as I walk away from the door and toward the stairs.

The Common Room: 7:36 PM

As I walk into the common I spot Mina, Toru, Momo, Tsuyu, Jiro, Iida, Kirishima, Kaminari and Tokoyami.
