Learning to be the best (Izuocha)

Chapter 5-Panic about the visit

*Ochaco's POV*

After I set Deku down, the match resumed swiftly. I was occupied with Monoma while Deku and the others fought with the rest. Eventually I use my Gun-head martial arts knowledge to get in close and knock him out before restraining him and getting him to the prison cell. But my mind really wasn't focused on the battle, I was worried about Deku. What had just happened? Who was he calling out for, he called for 'One for All' and what exactly was that, or who were they? I can still envision his face when he was in pain. The gut-wrenching screams that pierced my ears. I hated seeing him like that. I wanted to know what was happening, so I could help him, like he helped me... We were alone together, still at the training field and pretty soon after the fight had ended. We were looking at each other, I call out for him, but my voice was not that much higher than a whisper, it's some miracle that he heard me. He walks closer to me reaching for both my hands and holding it in front of him. He looks at me with reassuring eyes while saying,

"I'm okay," I take his word. I don't think he would lie to me in a situation like this. My eyes are gazing into his beautiful emerald orbs. He puts his hand on the side of my face, cupping my cheek while wiping the tear that had formed from before. He says,

"Come on, the others are probably wondering where we are," he says while smiling. I smile back and we're looking into each other's eyes. My blush was definitely showing at this point but, I didn't really want to move from this position.

By the time we get back I'm still blushing slightly at what had just happened. Mr. Aizawa says, as soon as we're close enough,

"Good, we're all here now. Firstly, Midoriya, what was with that whole act?" Everyone goes quiet, awaiting Deku's answer. He clenches his fist, revealing his half-ripped glove while looking at it with intense eyes.

"To be honest I'm not really sure, one second I'm trying to fight Monoma, next I felt myself being consumed by this form of energy. If it weren't for Uraraka and Shinso, I'm not sure what would've happened. I think I would have lost control" he turns to face both me and Shinso, "So, thanks you guys," he says while bowing to both of us. Everyone is shocked at this; I have never seen Deku be like this before. Not to say that he isn't nice, because he is, one of the most adorable little cinnamon rolls I have ever met. But this, was a shock to say the least. I quickly go to lift him up by reaching for his back while saying all flustered,

"Errrm, Deku you don't need to do that, I'm just glad you're okay," He raises his head, and Mr. Aizawa continues talking. Mina come up to me and whispers into my ear,

"So, you and 'Deku' huh? You seemed to show real initiative when you jumped to save him, grabbing onto his arm super tight" My face his blushing really hard now,

"I guess when you put it like that..." I swear, she has some sort of superpower for turning innocent things into the most questionable and lewd acts possible. Mr. Aizawa and Vlad King finish discussing the analysis for each of our matches while I'm trying not to die of embarrassment over what Mina had just said. But my mind kept imagining Deku's face as he was looking into my eyes. I couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same way I did. If he didn't, then what was with that thing that we just did, I don't know, I don't want to fill myself with hope just in case.

Nothing really exciting happened for the rest of the day. By the time we get back there was only a little bit of time before the end of the school day. Mr. Aizawa said he had an announcement to make so the whole class had made their way to the classroom.

"It's coming" He says in the most chilling way possible. Everyone is silenced at his words, scared at what the next ones coming out of his mouth were going to be. "The school festival..." There's a pause, a sigh of relief from a lot of the students, including me, and then Kaminari got out of his seat shouting,
