The Green Tea Anthology - Izuocha week 2023

Chapter 7: Dreams made reality (Diamond)

"Ochako? Are you ok?"

The girl came back to herself after hearing her friend's words. She had been lost in her own imagination, that she had forgotten that Tsuyu was talking to her.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine. I was just thinking..."

"Thinking about Midoriya, right?"

Her tomato red cheeks and the small words she started to get out of her mouth quickly gave the girl away. Tsuyu laughed lightly after knowing she got it right on the first try. Uraraka smiled slightly, no chance to hide her feelings at that moment. At least she was happy that Tsuyu was the one accompanying her in that room, because if it had been Mina or Hagakure, she was going to get a full interview.

"Yeah? Maybe" the blushing girl replied.

Tsuyu stood up from the chair and started to pour some more green tea for the girl, seeing that her cup had nothing to drink anymore. Uraraka received the green tea without a problem, grateful for her friend's kindness to her. Of all the people she met at the academy, she was the one who had had the strongest friendship.

It was a girls' night out at the time. Tsuyu had decided to invite Uraraka to her house after a long time of not seeing her, and wanted to take the opportunity to talk about everything they did in that time they were separated after graduation. They talked about their families, their agencies, and especially how life welcomed them with better people for their respective futures.

And no matter how many years passed, Tsuyu had the precise idea that Midoriya had been the most important person Uraraka met at UA. She already knew they were in a relationship, and it was nice to think that, to this day, they were still together without any problems.

"How is he?"

"He's fine. He's now visiting his mother and cleaning his hero costume for work. Thing is, he also told me that tomorrow we were going out together, and I kept thinking about where he was going to invite me."

Those little details that Deku showed Ochako were enough to make her fall in love every day. She felt special to feel his love and attention. That innocent and silly personality he had in UA was still intact, although she also admired how strong and creative he was for his ideas and missions. He rescued people with a smile as he had always said, and enjoyed his time with her accompanied by that same happiness that filled his mind.

However, she knew it was also a bit unfair that, in quality time with another person, she would spend his time thinking about someone else instead of paying attention to the person in front of her.

"I'm sorry if I got distracted. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable on this girls' night out."

"Don't worry Ochako. It's adorable that you think of him I tell you. It doesn't bother me at all." Tsuyu smiled. "I can tell you are a real couple, and a cute one. You both remind me of the couples in the stories my mother used to tell me before bed."

Uraraka felt that sometimes she was very sweet. Sure, sometimes Tsuyu was blunt with what she thought, but she was someone who was very friendly and caring to those closest to her. She understood how important Deku was to her life, and she emphasized it even on that night. Those last words made Ochako cover her face, blushing more than usual.

Tsuyu noticed her friend's action and threw another question.

"Ochako?"

"Do you seriously think our romance is like one from fairy tales?"

Uraraka didn't think Tsuyu saw their love as magical. She knew the relationship with Deku was sincere, but she knew they weren't that perfect. She found that comparison so cute, her face ended up hot like her green tea that was poured in her cup.
