Kacchaco Short Stories

Kaleidoscope (1/2)

A/N-----Lord Izuku Midoriya has been pestering Ochaco for her hand in marriage since they were both teenagers. It has become so commonplace for her to deny him that it is a running joke whispered between her and your two sisters and met with a frown from both of your parents. Ochaco does not care. Her eyes have always been set on broader horizons, away from her family's countryside estate. In fact, she has been frequenting several symposiums at the local college hosted by a young man who believes he has harnessed the power of flight, Katsuki Bakugou. Most attendees go simply to scoff at the lad, but she finds it fascinating and, moreover, attainable — so much so that she'd decided to fund his project in secret with some of her hefty allowance. However, she had included one stipulation: that she would be his first passenger. She helps him build a prototype of his magical flying machine and, in turn, build a relationship that is most certainly forbidden. When her parents find out, they promise you to Lord Izuku . She is devastated. Now her and Katsuki must finish the machine before your wedding day in the hopes of escaping a lifetime of monotony.

TY TO MY FRIEND FOR THIS PROMPTTT

 Part 1: The Proposal

The sun hung low over the sprawling countryside, casting a warm golden hue over the rolling hills and neatly trimmed gardens of the Uraraka estate. Inside the grand drawing room, Ochaco Uraraka sat quietly, her hands folded in her lap, her mind far from the idle chatter of her two sisters seated beside her.

"Ochaco," her mother's voice broke through her reverie, "are you even listening?"

Ochaco blinked and forced a smile. "Of course, Mother."

Her mother, Lady Uraraka, sighed, her sharp eyes narrowing as she looked her daughter over. "Lord Midoriya has requested your hand again," she said with a slight frown. "This time, his proposal came with a letter of intent to speak to your father directly."

Ochaco stifled a groan. This was hardly news. Izuku Midoriya had been persistently proposing marriage to her since they were both teenagers. Each time, she had politely declined, and each time, he returned with renewed determination. What had once been a source of mild irritation had since grown into an exhausting routine.

Her sisters, Himiko and Tsuyu, exchanged amused glances. "You might as well say yes, Ochaco," Tsuyu teased. "You know he's never going to give up."

"And besides," Himiko added, her tone light and teasing, "he's quite the catch. Handsome, wealthy, and oh-so-devoted to you."

But Ochaco's heart wasn't swayed by wealth or devotion, at least not in the conventional sense. Her mind wandered to the small, dimly lit workshop hidden away at the edge of town, where a young man with ash-blond hair and fiery determination was painstakingly working on a project that most deemed impossible.

Katsuki Bakugou, the brash and brilliant inventor, had captured Ochaco's imagination in ways that no lord or suitor ever could. His ambition to harness the power of flight was nothing short of revolutionary. While others attended his symposiums to mock his ideas, Ochaco saw potential. She believed in him, so much so that she had secretly funded his project with her allowance, ensuring that his work continued unhindered.

But more than that, she had attached one very specific condition to her support—when Katsuki Bakugou's flying machine finally took to the skies, she would be the first to soar alongside him.

"Mother," Ochaco began carefully, "I appreciate Lord Midoriya's continued interest, but I'm not ready to settle down just yet."

Lady Uraraka's lips thinned into a disapproving line. "Ochaco, you're twenty now. It's time you stopped playing with childish dreams and started thinking about your future."
