Guilt: The Trial of Izuku Midoriya

XII

Welp...it's been over a year since I started this project.

My original plans for this side-project that should have taken a couple of months. Became a delightful endeavor, took over a year and challenged me to become a better writer. It was a challenge I was happy to accept.

I will be forever grateful to Isaac, the original author, for the opportunity.

The next chapter is the finale. It will be followed shortly by the brand new epilogue that will place the final pieces for the brand sequel I have planned for The Trials series. The title for the new sequel will be revealed when the epilogue goes live. However, as I said before, the sequel will not be worked on for a while.

As I am be refocusing on both the Untold Universe and my Fantasy AU that is coming soon.

Draco Knight readers, I hope the wait was worth it because chapter five is going to blow your minds!

Fafnir Knight readers, Chapter 34 is complete! And will be sent to my beta reader shortly, and I'm already hard to work on 35, 36, and 37!

I am really excited that Fafnir will begin to update again. Which will hopefully be soon; once again, everyone, I am grateful for your patience.

Now with that out of the way.

Please enjoy the chapter.

Chapter Twelve: Closure

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Izuku stirred from sleep as a soft breath gently drifted down to his face.

Cracking one eye open, he gazed up at the sleeping form of the girl who had tucked him into her chest. Maybe once upon a time, Izuku might have been embarrassed to find himself where he was, nestled in Ochako's bosom. However, considering everything that happened and the fact that Ochako had personally placed him there, there wasn't any concern about misunderstandings.

Smiling, he adjusted himself deeper into her embrace, savoring the warmth and comfort it brought.

'I could spend the rest of my life right here,' He thought with a sigh of contentment.

When he looked up to see Ochako's face, lit beautifully with the first strands of the Sunday morning light. His eyes traveled across her soft brown hair, shooting messily in various directions, to her permanently blushing cheeks, set in a slight smile. 'I'm the luckiest guy in the world...'

Unfortunately, Izuku's movements had stirred Ochako from her slumber. Her eyes slowly opened, blinking a few times, before looking down to meet his own. A sly smile formed on her face as she leaned down to gently kiss his forehead.

"Hey, you~" She whispered, making Izuku want to melt. From the look in her eyes, Ochako was trying to be sensual, and she was succeeding. Izuku wanted to return the favor, but his lack of experience would prove a problem.

"Good morning, my love," Izuku did not have any experience or natural instincts when it came to trying to sound sexy. The instant the words left his mouth, he cringed, and it didn't help that Ochako's face blanched.
