Izuocha one-shots

A Smile for his Hope

The two laid on the itchy grass, their heads would ever close to touching to imply where the positions were. For Ochako, the only thing lightening her way was the stars so bright. To Izuku, his star was just inches away from him still on Earth instead of dancing in the sky like all the rest.

Their stargazing is under appreciated by themselves as their time would be spent inside of U.A walls. Until when Izuku was alone was his only companionship was the stars so high in the air he wonders if Ochako would ever reach using her quirk. Though, he remembers the baseball flying infinity in the sky just as a reminder of Izuku's affection towards his friend. It's all cut short when a shooting star flies above their heads to which Ochako points out.

Izuku did the see the shooting star, but he didn't say anything, only his star did. "Did you see that, Deku-kun? Did you make a wish?" Ochako didn't make a wish instead immediately pointing out something so dear to some to give to others like she'll always do.

With a quick response, "I didn't, Uraraka-san. I didn't have anything to wish for when I have everything." He just have some desires to be filled with Tenko being saved from Shigaraki's vessel that possessed the young boy's soul. But that didn't cross his mind at the moment though he should be resting now and wishing for the best, he wants to be a normal high schooler at the meantime with a crush. "Did you?"

A small chuckle from the girl as Izuku already knows the answer before she can comprehend the thought of saying. "I did not." It's a short pause and though she wishes to be selfish at this particular moment to wish for something else, but she just can't bring herself to say that. "If I did wish for something it'd be for this to be over. Everyone would smile together, everyone including villains." Course, her mind wanders to Toga with their last encounter and Ochako just hopes for Toga's sake, it won't be their last.

"I should've known it wouldn't be a wish for yourself." Ochako looks up to which wouldn't be to the sky, but the other's head; her hands are no longer being itched by the grass instead of her stomach careful not to float away to which she knows Izuku would catch her. "That's what not only makes you a great hero, but a great friend. You're selfless and though heroes shouldn't be, there are some who are, but not you. As of like All Might was the symbol of Peace in everyone's eyes. I can't help, but see you as my symbol of Hope."

It's a long pause between the two before Izuku thinks his speech or commentary made it into uncomfortable silence. He just continues to look up at the stars in hoping his replies soon as he sweats profusely. His collar now becoming tight to squeeze his fingers in that doesn't release the pressure. Yeah, he's surely made Ochako uncomfortable if it's taken this long with no response, so he speaks again.

Immediately, it's an apology, he doesn't know for what specifically, but it's more to try to release the tight pressure around the atmosphere. But when a another long silence comes, he thinks he made it worst. So, he keeps quiet for a long time.

She's beet-red when she dares to speak up, but Izuku won't shut off that light. "Thank you." Izuku doesn't know why she's thanking him, but he doesn't have a chance to ask when she continues speaking, not willing to turn off her light. "I thought my speech was a roller coaster, but it does hit hard when it's from someone you care deeply apart. Thank you, I needed that, Deku-kun."

"It has been rough lately, hasn't it?" To which now it's comfortable silence that a breeze comes and stops Izuku's sweat. "We'll make it right, I know we can together." A chuckle to burst-out laughing, "What did I say something?" Izuku can't help himself from smiling by Ochako's contagious laughter to where he's also laughing brightly.

Their laughs mix and sure is it loud, but they can't think of that now when it's just them being kids again. "You're—", she can't even continue before bursting out a chuckle again, "so cheesy."
