Situational Gravity

Movie

The movie begins with an overly complex story line that explains the conflicting problems of two kingdoms with details about the two royal families. Thing is: the story has nothing to do with the royals. A handmaid for one of the castles falls in love with a pauper from the rival kingdom. This handmaid has the beauty of a queen, the kindness of a medic and the determination of a soldier. The pauper was just your run-of-the-mill love interest.

Glancing over at Ochaco, a look of surprise crosses the greenette's face as tears are streaming down her cheeks. "W-woah! U-uraraka, why are y-you crying?"

"S-sorry, I was thinking that their love story is so sad. Like how she was originally supposed to be a concubine for the Prince, but denied the offer; only to be a lowly handmaid instead. She gave up riches and stability for the love of her life. That's so sweet, don't you think?" Ochaco sniffles, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. "She caught the king beating her lover for just being in his kingdom. She saved his life."

"Reminds me of us in a way. L-like how I saved you from that zero pointer robot during the entrance exam." Izuku scratches the back of his neck, reminiscing. "But is this really that sad...? Sad enough to make you cry?"

"Every girl dreams of love, Deku. It's inescapable at one point or another." Ochaco shrugs, taking a sip of her coca-cola; licking her lips afterwards from the coldness of the drink.

"Do... do you love a-anyone, Uraraka?" The teen questions, genuinely curious as he raises an eyebrow at the girl who turns red in embarrassment.

"W-why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious. I-if it's too personal, I can stop asking. I was just thinking about what you girls would be talking about... Whenever we talk or try to talk about that sort of thing, the guys usually change the conversation. Kaminari s-ships, I think that's the word, a few of us together while Mineta just ranks you all. Of course, we stop them before it gets out of hand. I was just wondering if your conversations go the same way." Izuku mumbles with a hand on his chin as Ochaco giggles, causing for him to blush. "S-sorry for rambling!"

"No, no! We have similar conversations... we actually rank you guys, too. It's for fun, don't get me wrong! Usually Mina and Yuga does the shipping while Toru does the ranking. Todoroki is number 1 on the list majority of the time...." Ochaco hums as Izuku nods.

"He is attractive... but what do you mean by most of the time? Who else...?" He questions, not afraid to admit the attractiveness of his male classmates.

"Either you or Bakugo. His attitude is what gets him placed right before Mineta sometimes, though. You're a 'puppy', 'boyfriend material', and a few other things the girls say." She explains as his face turns a deeper shade of red. "D-don't be embarrassed! It's embarrassing enough admitting this!"

"It... it doesn't embarrass me. I-I'm flattered." He chuckles airily, bringing his knees up to his chest as he leans back on his bed; the movie becoming white noise as he sighs. "I never thought anyone would see me in that way. I'm pretty plain-looking, aren't I? I wasn't well-liked growing up, so I'm not used to the compliments."

"You're amazing, Deku! Your past doesn't define you in the slightest and you're achieving your dreams! Meanwhile, I have no goal and I'm doing it for money, which is a very selfish reason." Ochaco hums, placing a hand on his leg. "You're not plain looking, y-you're a-actually r-really c-cute."

"C-cute?!" Izuku's cheeks flame red as he covers his face with his arms, avoiding her eyes. "T-thanks U-uraraka-c-chan..."

"You can drop the honorifics, Deku! We're friends, aren't we?" She smiles sincerely as he nods, still avoiding her gaze. "If you want, y-you c-could even call me by m-my given n-name."

"R-really?" He smiles brightly, his head snapping up in surprise. "I-I d-don't want to make you u-uncomfortable-!"

"Y-you won't! You're my best friend, so it's only fair." She determinedly states as his eyes sparkle with glee. "Oh... the movie ended."

"I guess we should sleep now, huh?" Izuku mumbles, standing up as he turns the television off, then places the remote on the table. "Um... you know where my room is. I-if you need something, just let me know."

"Okay! Thanks Deku! Goodnight and have sweet dreams." She gives a small wave, stalking off the bathroom to get prepared for bed.

"Same to you..."

A ringing cuts through the silent room as the brunette wakes up from her slumber, alarmed. Grabbing the phone, she quickly swipes it as she wipes her eyes and answers. " Hello?"

"Ochaco! Baby, where are you? You said you were going out for a little while to window shop and you never came back! I was so worried for you, with all the villain attacks and what not. Where are you?" A sweet yet stern voice questions, worry heavily etched into it. A squeak from a bed is heard very faintly in the background before a gruff voice speaks up just shy of a whisper. "Your father is worried as well."

"O-Oh! I'm so sorry for not calling! I got invited to stay over by one of my friends' house. I-It completely slipped my mind-! What time is it?!" Ochaco squeaks, looking over at the All Might themed alarm clock that reads '9:00'. "Ah! I promise this won't happen again!"

"You're right young lady, it won't be happening again. Almost gave me heart palpations." Her mother sighs, running a hand through her dark brown hair. "Now, what friend are you staying with and have we heard of her?"

"U-um w-well, i-it's not-!"

"Uh Ochaco...? Is everything okay in there? I heard noises and thought I should check up on you." Izuku calls through the door, wanting to know if she's awake. "Mom's not home right now, she stepped out to get you an outfit since she didn't want you wearing the same clothes without it being washed. I made breakfast if you're hungry..."

"Thanks Izuku!" She responds, cringing before glancing back at her phone screen as a gasp of shock rings out.

"Izuku? As in that green haired kid from the sports' festival? You're with a boy?!" Her mother squeals as her father takes the phone from the excited woman.

"You're bringing him over to meet us later. We want to know more about your little boyfriend." The man hangs up the phone, a long beep echoing out into the silent room.

"Oh no..." She sighs, heavily; regretting her choices.
