Chapter 1|| Crushes With A Side Of Mochi

*Thanks to whoever made this cute chibi artwork!*

*Ochaco's POV*

There he was once again.

I pressed my face on the window, not missing a single action from his swift, decisive movements. His green hair (now damp) was swaying rhythmically, matching his quick kicks, it sparkled in the cotton candy-like sky, like an emerald. Also, like an emerald, his eyes gleamed, matching ever so perfectly to his freckles, I pushed onto the window, even more, if I missed a single thing, I would never be able to forgive myself.  

"Ochaco-chan, are you trying to break the window?" Ribbits a familiar voice. 

I snap out of my trance and blink, dazed. How long have I've been watching broccoli boy? I turn around to see my second best friend, Tsuyu Asui. 

"Are you okay, you've been staring outside for an hour now! Ribbit." 

"I'm fine, just.... watching something." 

Tsu's eyes widened, "Is it that cute that it needs that much of your undivided attention?"

"Uhhh..." I glance back at Midoriya, who was energetically punching the trees that surround the boy dorms. I felt my cheeks heat up and unconsciously muttered, "It's the most cutest thing I've ever laid my eyes on."

"In that case, can I see?"

I slam my mouth shut as if it was Bakugo's face. 

"Nononononononononononno, it's not worth it, I was just wasting my time!" I frantically said, waving my arms like there was a fly. 

"I dunno Ochaco," A voice suddenly appears, it sends chills down my spine. I immediately recognised that evil, evil voice. I prayed that it wasn't who I thought it was, but it was. Mina Ashido, also know as The Matchmaker. 

"This looks pretty cute to me! Tsu! Why don't you take a look at this? I'm sure it's worth your time."

Tsu hopped over to the window, before I could stop her, her eye's widened and she looked back at me. I felt my face turn beet red. 

"Ochaco... you're telling me-"

"Itsnotwhatyouthinkiwasntspyingonhimoranything!! It's not what you think! It's not what you think!" I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment, repeating the phrase over and over again as if it was a mantra. 

"Ochaco-chan! You're floating!"

I look up and Tsu was right, I was floating! 

"Sorry! I'll release it right now!"

"Don't! From that high, you'll sprain your ankle!"

I look down from where I was floating and Tsu was right, I was pretty high. "Let me catch you!" Tsu offered. "No need, Froppy!" Mina smirked. "I'll call in Izuzu, I'm sure he will be able to catch you!" And with that, Ashido skipped outside. "No, WAIT!! ASHIDO!! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!" I pause for a moment, only to hear the echo of my voice. "....AND DON'T CALL HIM IZUZU!!"

By now, my face was red. As red as a strawberry-flavoured piece of Mochi.

*Izuku's POV*

I wipe the sweat dripping ever so slowly down my face. 

"Only.... four.... hours today!?" I pant in between breaths. "I can.... do better.... than that! PLUS ULTRA!!" I say, kicking the tree. 

"MIDORIYAAAA!!" 

I hear a familiar cheerful voice, I turn around to see Ashido running out of the house.

"Yes..... Ashido?" I answer, drinking a ton of water.

"It's Ochaco, she activated her quirk and now she's stuck up the ceiling, we need you to catch her." She swiftly said. I dart daggers at her. "What?" She says all innocent-like. "Ashido, what did you say to her." I glare, folding my arms. She sighed as if she were in love. "She was just staring at how hot  you were." My face turned beet red and my heart started pounding. "M-me?" 

"Yeah! She has it for you, baaaaaaaaaad!" There was this feeling in my gut, one of which I'd never felt before. If I hadn't been so flustered, I would've noticed Ashido hiding her smirks. "Lies," I mumbled. "What was that?" Ashido asked. 

"Let's go help her," I say, heading to the door. 

My stomach growled like a beast, maybe I could eat some Katsudon, or maybe some Mochi.
