To Protect and Serve (IzuOcha)

Chapter Two

-Midoriya POV-

As I sat in the common room I couldn't help but find myself daydreaming off about Uraraka and the future I wanted with her. Kids, nice dates, buying our first house, protecting her with my life... Wait, what was that last one? My thoughts continued to get more and more Yandere as I began to wonder if maybe I liked Uraraka a bit too much, for it was nearly certain that she felt nowhere near the same way for me. It's not like she accidentally confessed to our entire class last night that she liked me, right? That'd be too perfect! She came and sat beside me on the couch, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hey, Deku!" She beamed her beautiful white smile at me, infecting me with one of my own. "Ur-Uraraka! I was just thinking about you!" I smiled and my eyes widened. "ImeannotinastalkerwayIwasjustthinkingabouthowmuchIwantedtohangoutwithyouandthatreallydoesn'tsoundanybetterjuststoptalkingDeku!" I felt my face burning as I moved my hands to cover it. I could hear Mina laugh from across the room. Kirishima and Bakugo came in after their scrap with Kirishima taking a loss this time. "Hey round face, beat it. You too Deku, Kirishithead and I are gonna smash." Bakugo calmly (for once) demanded. "Oh, that's alright." Uraraka obliged as I sat still, with an expressionless look on my face. "Bakugo is that any way to talk to a woman?" I questioned him. He raised an eyebrow in reponse and smirked.

"I talk to whoever I want however I want, damn loser. If you have an issue with it then I'll kick your ass just like Kirishima." "You always picked on me but you've never beaten me." I challenged him. "Daaaaamnnn, Midoriya really likes Uraraka." I faintly heard Kaminari say from down the hall. "FINE THEN YOU DAMN NERD, LET'S GO OUTSIDE!" Bakugo screamed, now back in character. Oh shit... I've never fought a Bakugo this pissed, I've never even talked back to him... This surely won't end good. We ended up outside surrounded by the entire class. "Kick his ass Bakugo!" "Don't let him talk back to you Bakubro!" "Break his bones before he gets to do it to himself!" I sighed. Nobody was on my side. "You can do this Deku!" Uraraka cheered for me. I clenched a fist and knew I could win.

Bakugo charged at me with explosions propelling him as green energy began to crackle all around me. I quickly jumped out of the way and found myself in the air. "Delaware..." I shouted, cocking back my fingers to propel a flicking motion, but was met by an explosion to the face. I fell to the ground and smacked into it hard. 'Ooo' and 'aaahh' could be heard in abundance. I slowly climbed to my feet and my green energy continued to crackle. "I'll..." I began "I'll beat you Bakugo." In a flash, I soared behind him and gave him a detroit smash, sending him into the ground and knocking him unconscious. "No way, Midoriya beat Bakubro!" Kirishima shouted, prompting the rest of the class to gasp. I dusted myself off and walked back towards the dorms.

-That Night, Ochaco POV-

"Did you guys see how quick Midoriya was earlier? He was like an entirely different person!" Asui commented. "He's so strong and so cute! No wonder Ochaco is all lovey dovey for him!" Yaoyorozu poked fun at me. It's true. I usually hated violence, but seeing Deku leap to my defense so quickly sent butterflies in shockwaves throughout my body. I clearly meant so much to him, to see him stand up to a bully he never had before over me felt surreal, almost as though he was an entirely different person. I blushed a little at the thought of it. "I wonder what got him so fired up." Mina theorized out loud. "Maybe Bakugo was mean to Ochaco." Asui added. Followed by 'ooos' and 'aahhs' and giggles. "Well, it may not have been that but he was mean to me in front of Deku." I revealed. Everyone went quiet for a moment. "I knew it!" Ashido broke the silence before pure chaos erupted.

I slipped out and went to see Deku.

-Midoriya POV-

I sat in the common room, playing Red Dead Redemption on the TV, I loved Westerns, so it was only natural that I was drawn to John Marston and his story. As I rode my horse to the next mission area, I saw Uraraka come in. "Hey Deku!" She beamed her signature smile at me and melted my heart. "Deku, why are you up so late?" She questioned, sitting next to me after I patted the seat next to me and lifted my blanket to let her under. She happily grinned and sat next to me, lying her head on my shoulder and wrapping her arms around me. Normally I'd blush and freak out, but right now Bill Williamson is more important. She asked me several questions about the game and I was happy to answer, until the questions were spaced further and further and filled with slower and slower words until they eventually stopped coming and she fell asleep hugging me and snuggling up against me.

-A few hours later-

It was time for me to go to bed, I'd turned off the console and the TV remotely, the only issue now was Uraraka. "Ochaco." I shook her gently awake. "Hmm?" She sleepily murmured. "I'm going to bed." I told her. "Take me with you..." She said with both of her eyes closed. I blushed this time without the distractions of New Austin and reluctantly gave way. "Alright, come on." I sneaked her up to my room by carrying her bridal style. She quickly jumped into my covers and patted the bed beside her so I'd lay next to her. As soon as I did, she laid her head on my chest, hugged me, and threw one leg over me almost as if she was trying to climb me or cling onto me for dear life.

I fell asleep soon after and didn't have a single regret.
