Izuocha's Love Stories

3 - STARS/DREAMS

By: vee_utiful

There was only one thing Ochako loved more than general store deals on her favorite mochi-the stars at night.

Tonight, the sky was exceptionally beautiful. Not a single cloud, the moon was a perfect silver crescent shape, and the dark navy trademark color of the sky seemed much more vibrant tonight compared to any other day. The sky looked like a fairy tale, and as much as Ochako knew she would hate herself in the morning if she didn't go to sleep, she couldn't contain herself to admire the sky from her dorm window. She had to go outside.

To keep from bothering any of her classmates (and also trying to keep out of trouble, who knows if any of the teachers were lurking around to make sure no student was missing during curfew) Ochako slowly opened her window, keeping the creaks of the hinges to a minimum. Hopefully, Jirou didn't hear her... Making sure to pull her curtains closed, she activated her quirk, slowly lofting up a story to the roof of the building, landing just above her dorm room. Feet meeting with the roof, she released, her sense of gravity returning and throwing off her balance a bit while on the sloped rooftop. Sure, she could save herself with her quirk if she happened to fall...but it'd be embarrassing to have fallen at all. Besides, with how often she came up to the rooftop at night, and with using her quirk since she developed the power at a young age, she should be used to her normal center of gravity returning.

The moment Ochako got her footing, she carefully sat down, curling her knees under her chin. She really should've bundled up a bit more. But, soon after, her lack of sleeves didn't bother her anymore. As soon as her big, brown, amazing eyes met the blanket of stars above her, she was engulfed in the warmth of their glow.

Alright, so a kick here, but sweep it under. Follow through, with a flick of the ankle at the lowest point!

No, Iida did it this way. His back was straight with his shoulders back. Todoroki kept his stance wide.

Only 5% throughout! the power even throughout my entire body!

Huff....

Huff...

Pant....

Wiping his brow with his forearm, Izuku took a deep breath as he steadied himself, careful to not move too much. After dinner with the rest of his class, the boy headed outside to get in some extra training practice. He was behind the rest of his classmates, after all. To get a better hold of One for All, he needed all the training he could get. That left no room for slacking.

Looking back down at his notebook, it finally dawned on Izuku just how dark it was outside. He couldn't read a single note from the pages! Was it already this late? But he only started this extra training at 7 PM. Clicking the home button on his cell phone, Izuku couldn't believe it when he saw the bright screen displaying "11:30 PM."

"I didn't even get to train much of what I wanted today..." he muttered to himself in disappointment.

Tilting his head back to release some built-up tension in his neck, Izuku stopped and stared at the moon. It sure looked really pretty tonight. The too-perfect crescent shape, the soft glow around its form, the brilliant silver color, the small dark crater moving across the....

Crater...how could he see it from down here? And why is it moving?

Squinting up at the sky, the freckled boy focused on the moving object. Why was something floating in the sky?

Floating?

It couldn't...

"Uraraka?!"
