You and me no matter what

~7~

As the weeks turned into months, the bond between Uraraka and Midoriya grew deeper. The stolen moments of quiet between patrols became sacred, filled with shared jokes, whispered secrets, and the gentle brush of fingers against palms.

One night, as they perched on a rooftop watching over the city, Deku turned to her, his eyes filled with something new. "Ochaco," he said, his voice a soft rumble in the darkness. "I don't know what I would do without you."Her heart fluttered at the sound of her name on his lips, a warmth spreading through her chest. 

She looked into his eyes, her own brimming with emotion. "You'll never have to find out," she said, her voice just as soft. "Because I'm not going anywhere." Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world around them faded away. The only thing that existed was the connection between them, the unspoken promise of a future where they could be more than just partners in crime fighting.

And then it happened. 

Deku leaned in, his breath warm against her cheek, and kissed her. It was a gentle press of lips, a silent declaration of his feelings. Uraraka froze, her heart racing. And then she melted into it, her arms wrapping around him, pulling him closer.

The kiss deepened, the passion between them igniting like a flame in the cold night air. They had been dancing around their feelings for so long, and now it was as if they couldn't get enough of each other. It was a moment of pure, unbridled emotion, one that neither of them wanted to end. But the city didn't sleep, and neither could they. 

They pulled apart, their breaths ragged, their eyes filled with a newfound intensity. "We can't do this," Uraraka said, her voice barely a whisper. "We're... we're heroes." Midoriya nodded, his own emotions a tumultuous storm. "But we're also people," he said. "And I can't ignore how I feel about you." Uraraka searched his eyes, finding the truth she had been too afraid to admit. "Neither can I," she said, her voice trembling. 

"But we have to keep this between us. For now." They agreed, knowing that the path they had chosen was fraught with danger and uncertainty. But in the quiet moments, as they held onto each other, they found solace in the promise of a love that could conquer even the darkest of nights.

And so they continued their vigil, their hearts now entwined in a way that went beyond friendship. They fought side by side, their love a beacon of hope in the grim reality of their lives. The city was changing, and with it, the very essence of what it meant to be a hero. But in the shadowed streets, amidst the chaos, they had found something unbreakable. 

A bond that would carry them through the darkest of times, a love that was as fierce as the justice they sought. Their journey was far from over, but in the quiet moments, as they shared a stolen kiss under the moonlight, they knew that they had found something worth fighting for. And as they disappeared into the night, hand in hand, they were ready to face whatever the world threw at them, together.
