Izuocha's Love Stories

IZUKU'S BAKERY (CHAPTER 7-8)

CHAPTER SEVEN

To say that Ochaco was nervous as she walked down to her friend's bakery would be an understatement. She had thought long and hard about what she was going to say, and even after rehearsing it several times, she still found it difficult to speak about it without stuttering. She just wanted to say it, to get those feelings out, her visit to her family had been filled with thoughts of Izuku, often causing her to start daydreaming.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" Her mom had asked her once, suddenly stopping Ochaco's daydreaming, "Your head seems to be somewhere else."

"I-I'm fine!" She quickly responded, her cheeks turning bright pink as she caught herself thinking about him again.

"Are you sure?"

"Y-Yes!"

"Is it a boy?" Ochaco's eyes widened at how accurate her mom's guess had been, leaving her at a loss for words. Her mom just laughed it off and gave Ochaco a knowing smile.

That was the first and only time her mother had commented on the matter, much to Ochaco's appreciation, but after that incident, she always smiled when she caught her daughter deep in thought. Her father, on the other hand, wouldn't comment on the matter, but she suspected it was because he was completely oblivious to the situation.

When she finally arrived at her destination, Ochaco doubted a single word would come out of her lips. She took a second to compose herself, breathing in deeply before knocking the store's door.

"Who is it?" She heard the all too familiar voice coming from the inside.

"It's me!" She said cheerfully, "I came by to see you!" Hearing Izuku again made her nervousness leave completely, she couldn't really understand why, but everything just felt better.

As the door opened in front of her, simply seeing Izuku once more melted her heart, and before she knew it, she had thrown herself at him, embracing him tightly.

"Hello, Midoriya!" She said, not a hint of nervousness on her mind.

"H-Hey Uraraka!" Izuku responded, he was a complete blushing mess.

She let out a tiny giggle as she looked at him. He just looked so cute while he struggled to put words together into a coherent sentence. She was just now starting to realize just how much she had missed this boy.

Ochaco let go of him and sat down at the table, she could not help but smile as she looked at him, still trying to find something to say but fumbling on his own words soon after.

"Wait here," He said, finally recovered, "I have something for you."

As soon as Izuku left the room, Ochaco's heart started racing again. Seeing him again had made her completely forget why she was there in the first place. Now that she remembered, she was determined to let him know about her feelings. She ran the words through her head once again, fully determined to speak her mind the second he came back.

She was at a complete loss for words then, when Izuku came back into the room with a platter, containing six strawberry shortcake slices, two plates, and two forks.

"I uh..." Izuku started, his face getting redder by the second, "S-Since it was your birthday yesterday, I figured you would like these."

"Are those?..." Ochaco asked, pointing at them. Whatever she had to say earlier was going to have to wait, she wasn't able to say another word.

"It's the first cake I've made, I tried all weekend long to make it right." He confessed, Ochaco noticed he was fidgeting slightly as if he was as nervous as she had been just moments earlier.
