[Izuku POV]

I walked around the roughest part of Musutafu. People might be in trouble, so I'll try to help, even if Mr. Aizawa doesn't approve.

I wore a dark green hoodie, light blue jeans, and my favorite red shoes.

I was walking down the sidewalk, staring at the cars racing by and noting some mutation quirks I saw when I was suddenly ran into. I stumbled and shook my head to rid of my daze. I looked down to see someone jump into a hug.

What is going on?!

"IT'S BEEN SO LONG!!!! I HAVEN'T SEEN YA SINCE OUR FIRST YEAR!!!!"

The person pulled back from the hug and gave me a nervous smile. It was a girl. I heard a grunt and glanced in that direction. Some shady looking men were glaring at the girl's back. I looked down at her with a smile.

"I can't believe we keep meeting like this!! Can I buy you a drink?"

The girl looked relieved and rapidly nodded her head. I grabbed her hand and walked towards a cafe nearby.

'Cozy Diner'

We walked in and were met with a polite waiter. He led us to a table by the window and we sat down, opposite sides, of course, as he set down 2 menus.

"What may I get the both of you?" the waiter, Reiko, asked us in a cheerful tone.

"I'll take a green tea, please?" I then turned to the girl to see that she was intently looking at the menu. She started to slightly mutter under her breath.

Why is she thinking so much about this?! Even I don't think too much about ordering a drink!!

"I'll have a strawberry bubble tea," the girl ordered, handing Reiko her menu, and I followed suit. Reiko nodded and rushed off to prepare our drinks.

Wait... I'M ALONE WITH A GIRL!!!! AND WE HELD HANDS!!!! AND HUGGED!!!!

I could feel my face go up several degrees.

"Are you okay?!" the girl asked, a hand reaching out in worry.

"I-I-I'M OKAY!!!!" I shouted, flailing my arms everywhere. "I'M A-OKAY!!!!"

The girl smiled in relief.

"That's a relief!!" she exclaimed, a hand over her heart. "Oh!! And... thank you for helping me back there... I think they would've jumped me if ya didn't show up!!"

My blush had settled down to a noticable pink. I looked down at the table in embarrassment.

"I-I didn't do that much..."

"Of course ya did!!!!" the girl exclaimed with a fist gently hitting the table top. I looked at her in surprise. "If you weren't there-..."

What is she-

"They would've done something terrible to me... And you saved me from that..." My eyes widened.

Saved...? I... saved someone...?

"Y-you're welcome... uh..."

The girl tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"What's your name?" I asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head. Her eyes widened.

"I'm so sorry!!!! I completely forgot!!!!" she exclaimed and then cleared her throat, a fist in front of her mouth. She held out her hand to me. "My name is Ochaco Uraraka!! Now, what's your name, hero?"

My cheeks lit up at the nickname.

HERO?! A GIRL JUST CALLED ME A HERO!!!!

BUZZZZZZ!!!! BUZZZZZZ!!!!

I jumped in my seat and pulled out my phone and gasped.

Dadzawa

Dadzawa:

Come home. Someone important wants to talk to you.

Me:

I'll come as quick as I can!!

"I'm really, really sorry, but I need to get home!! I can drop you off at your place before I go!!"

Uraraka smiled at me and stood up with her bubble tea in hand. I looked down at her drink in surprise. When did she get that?!

"While you were looking at your phone," Uraraka told me, causing me to blush.

"I said that out loud...?"

Uraraka giggled, handed me the green tea I ordered, and started walking towards the front doors, me following behind her.

"You're funny!!" Uraraka told me after a long sip of her bubble tea.

"Huh?"

Uraraka slowed her pace to match mine.

"You're funny on accident," she clarified. I smiled at her, a single bead of sweat rolling down my face.

"Is that good...?" I asked, scared of the answer. Uraraka gave me a teasing smile.

"What do you think...?"

My cheeks flared up again.

"Uh..."

HOW DO I REPLY TO THAT?!

Uraraka suddenly stopped and I quickly stopped almost beside her. I looked up to see a rough-looking apartment complex and glanced at Uraraka out of the corner of my eye.

"Do you live here?" I asked her, receiving a nod.

"It's trashy, but it's better than on the streets," she replied with a shrug and walked up to the door. She opened the door, but stopped and looked back to me. "Yes."

"What?"

"It's good that you're funny," she clarified. "It's even cute!!" And with that, she disappeared inside. I stood there in shock.

A GIRL JUST CALLED ME CUTE!!!! AM I DREAMING?! Please don't be!!!!

I smiled at the girl inside of the apartment complex and started my journey home, the smile present the whole way there.

DID YOU ENJOY IT?! I wonder who this special person is... *shrug* PLUS ULTRA!!!!
