Drunk Call (Izuku x Ochako)

Drunk Call

IzukuMidoriya was able to leave work early today.

A hard case which they worked on for months was finally solved and everyone was relieved. The search was endless; the paper works never-ending. The truth was, even though he was very much likely needed to rest, he always went to work six days a week, and often when he didn't have to like today because he loved his job.

Their head chief decided to dismiss them early for the day as a celebration. The symbol of peace went ahead and spoiled himself by buying groceries. He's been eating fast food this couple of weeks.

When he was loading all of his groceries on the backseat, his mobile rang. He forgot where he put his phone and it took him a minute before he could answer it. It was Uraraka. A concern frown form on his brow. He answered the phone with an uncertain hello.

Izuku didn't know what to say to that.

A series of grunts follows after then, "I'm sorry, Midoriya. Ochako's drunk. This is Mina."

He was instantaneously relieved when he heard Ashido's voice. Mina sounded sober at least. She was a heavy-drinker after all. "I invited Ochako for a drink and now she's drunk. She called you while I'm not looking." The pink haired girl explained. He heard his drunk friend whining at the background and then the sober one grunting, perhaps struggling to keep the phone away from her. "Everything is okay—uh, Ochako, darling! Stop pulling my hair!"

Now he was worried.

"Where are you?" He asked softly as he started his car. Mina's office was ten blocks away and if he recalled it right, there's a nearby bar in there but he still wants to be sure.

"In your dreams, Deku!" It seems Ochako managed to get her phone back. "In your dreams. . ." She repeated, whispering it dramatically this time.

"I'll drive you both home." He felt a headache coming. "Can you please tell me where you are?"

"Guess, detective." She said playfully and hangs up.

When she's drunk—even though it was very rare—she always calls him but never had given him her location. He couldn't recall how many times he was on the verge of asking Hatsume to put a tracking device on Ochako.

Fortunately, finding them was easy for his assessment was correct.

"Hey, Mina." He called after her and did a timid wave as he approached them. Mina glanced towards him and when she saw Deku, she perked up as if seeing her hero.

"Izuku!" Mina greeted back with a relieve chuckle. "Thank goodness, you're here!"

Upon hearing his name, Ochako stopped laughing and blinked up. "Deku?"

Ochako untangled herself from Mina and sauntered clumsily towards Izuku.

He met her halfway, concerned that she will trip. Ochako reached him with wobbly steps and he steadied her with his hands on her arms. Uraraka raised her hands up and began tracing his features with her fingers distractedly, her gaze glazed. The gesture was tender however, and it felt like butterflies.

Izuku didn't know what she was looking for but Ochako seemed satisfied; she smiled her rubber grin, and enthusiastically wraps her arms around his neck which caught him unprepared.

"Deku! It's you!"

His breath hitched by the sudden contact, his hands suspended in the air not knowing where to touch. Flustered, Izuku looked at Mina for help.
