Situational Gravity

Relationship

"That was so embarrassing!" Ochaco covers her cheeks, flustered as she shakes her head back and forth. "I can't believe we're already heroes and no one told us! Ah..."

Izuku chuckles at her, grabbing her wrists as he lowers them from her face as he grins at her with closed eyes. "That just means we'll have to become even better heroes by the time we graduate, yeah?"

"Yeah!" She smiles back, fist pumping the air. "Plus ultra!"

"Plus ultra!" Izuku repeats the common phrase as they both giggle before he sighs. "The whole world knows how much you mean to me. That's a whole lot of pressure...."

"Aw, I'm sure it will be ok, Zu. We have each other and that's all that matters. We'll be each other's heroes first and foremost." Ochaco looks down to where he still holds her wrists. "Can I get my hands back?"

Letting go, he rubs a hand behind his neck nervously as his cheeks turn pink in embarrassment. "O-of course! Sorry!"

"No problem at all. Now, where's Ms.Inko and Dracon?" She questions, realizing the adults disappeared from backstage. "I thought we were supposed to have dinner with them?"

"They wanted to make up for the short date we had the other day. Him calling right when it began to rain was not ideal... so he told us to go on without him." Izuku explains as she turns even redder than before. "You're going to activate your quirk at this rate, Ocha."

"S-sorry! I'm still getting used to us being a couple. It's like a dream come true..." She mumbles, pouting as he laughs at her; grabbing her hand this time and intertwining their fingers as he leads them towards the exit.

"I haven't even done much yet, besides caused trouble for you. If this is a dream, I don't want to make it a nightmare." He sweatdrops with a chuckle.

"Deku, nothing could be a nightmare as long as I know you're nearby. You make me feel safe, so I know you won't hurt me." She grins at him before looking up, causing him to join her. "We're here."

The greenette untangles their fingers, opening the door for her as she giggles and thanks him; stepping inside. The entire front of the restaurant goes quiet as the hostess blushes a bright red. "W-welcome Deku and Uravity! P-please let me take you to your seats!"

"They were totally airing the live, weren't they?" Ochaco whispers to Izuku who's now behind her, nodding slowly. "Well, this is going to be awkward..."

"I hope it isn't, we can just get a private room if it makes you uncomfortable. U-unless that would make you more uncomfortable." He suggests as she nods, thinking over her options.

"I think a private room would be nice. This is supposed to be our first date! I want it to be perfect." She says determinedly, dragging him by his worst to the hostess who tried to seat them in the middle of the room. "Excuse me, miss! We'd like a private room."

"I-I'm s-sorry! We can't do that-!"

"Bull, I see like three empty rooms and I know it's common practice to have reservations for important meetings 3 days in advance. If you have that many rooms available, then they're free." She huffs as the hostess blushes, sighing as she walks them to the back; hearing multiple people groan in dismay. "Wait-! Were you trying to get us in the middle for all those people to watch? We aren't entertainment!?"

"No... but you are heroes! And it's so cool. I'm sorry that everyone is so nosey, but we're just curious!" An excited server takes over, beaming brightly. "Hi, I'm Kyoto Emi and I'm going to be your server tonight. I won rock, paper, scissors."

"Glad to know our service was determined by a hand game." Izuku smiles weakly as Emi rubs the back of his neck, embarrassed from oversharing. "I'll have katsudon, but substitute the pork for tofu."

"You got it! And for the young lady?"

"I'll take a mapu tofu."

"Excellent choices, and they will be right out. But in the meantime, anything to drink?"

"Just two Pepsis and two waters."

"Is Coke, ok?"

"..."

"........."

"Just the waters, thank you." Izuku closes his menu, handing it to the server as Ochaco does the same; holding in her laugh at the silent exchange. The server closes the door right as she explodes into laughter. "W-why are you laughing?"

"Why'd you look at him like that?! All he asked was if Coke was ok and you glared at him! It was adorable! Like an angry baby with puffy cheeks!"

"A-angry baby?! He was offering the worst drink. Coke is not a sub for Pepsi, I don't care if it's the same company. It definitely tastes different!" He debates as she slows her laughter, staring at him in silence. "W-why are you silent?"

"Angry. Baby."

The greenette groans, pulling out her chair as she sits; snickering at his annoyance. "Fine, I'm an angry baby. Did you want a Coke?"

"... no, it sucks."

"So then why did you make fun of my reaction!?" His voice squeaks as he takes his seat, her laughter echoing off the walls. "You suck."

"And swallo-... I am so sorry, that was not appropriate of me at all!" She blushes, covering her mouth as she surprised herself with her dirty joke; seeing his face turn a deep red. "I-I promise I'm not that kind of girl! Mina said that joke the other day to Kiri and I-I thought it was funny."

"I-It's fine, it's a funny joke. Just wasn't expecting you to say that to me." He laughs weakly, watching as their waters get placed on the table before the door closes. "D-do you think about doing that sort of stuff w-with me?"

"I mean we're teens, I'm pretty sure all teens think about it. N-not that I want to do that right now, I'd like to get married before that ever happens." The brunette explains as he nods, playing with a spot on the table. "D-do you think about that sort of things?"

"I haven't done anything like that before, I haven't even had my first kiss to be honest. I never thought about romance before you..."

"I forgot, you did say that before. If I may... can I have your first k-kiss?" She whispers as she looks down at the table, the room getting quiet as she peaks up at him to see him staring at her. "D-did you hear my question?"

He remains unblinking, green eyes blown wide like a playful cat. "K-kiss... me... you? Y-yes! I mean yes."

Ochaco smiles with her eyes closed, tilting her head. "Ok!"
