My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 1) Chapter Six - The Truth

IZUKU'S POV:

    "Uraraka, wait!" I shouted, but she just kept running into the dorms.

     "I didn't know she was there, I swear!" Asui promised me.

     "That doesn't matter right now. Ugh, how could I be so stupid. She probably heard that" I said nervously. "I need to go, Asui. I need to talk to her right now before she gets to her room and it gets worse" I said running off.

     I could tell in Asui's eyes she was feeling guilty about all of this. But I can't ask her about that now, I need to catch up to Uraraka. I saw her entering the elevator, obviously crying.

     "Wait Uraraka, I want to talk!" I called to her.

     "Just leave me alone Deku, I don't want to talk to you right now" she said between sobs.

     "Listen, whatever you heard, I'm sorry."

     "Were you sorry about last night, too? I thought maybe you cared, that maybe... just forget about it! I want to be alone!" She said as the elevator doors began to close.

     Shoot! If she gets to her room, then she'll probably go back to staying in there and not talking to anyone. I can't see her like that again.

     I ran to the stairs and activated my quirk at 5%. If I did it quickly, I could beat the elevator up there.

     "Full Cowling" I muttered and began to jump up the stairs, using the walls as leverage until I reached the top floor. I threw open the door and was face to face with her, as she stood outside her room.

     "I told you to leave me alone, Deku. I-I heard what you said, and I know now that last night... You did that out of pity didn't you? To make me feel better? Everything you said, was it to just make me feel better, Deku? Tell me!" She scream-cried.

     Luckily, none of the girls were up there. Or at least I hoped. I pulled her into a hug, but she tried to get out of it, even hitting my chest. But I knew we'd both regret it if I did. She stopped after a few seconds and cried into my chest.

     "I'm sorry for what I said. I know you won't believe me right now but I am. I just couldn't tell Asui the truth. I don't know why, but I felt like I couldn't. Could we take this into your room? I don't want someone to see something like this" I told her.

     She let go of me and opened her room, before we both entered.

     "Uraraka, I don't know how you'll react when I say this, but it's been on my mind since yesterday. I care about you so much. You always support me and cheer for me and stand up for me when the going gets tough. Without you, I don't even know if I'd be here at UA right now" I continued.

     She collapsed to the floor and pulled her knees to her head. I kneeled down to her.

     "I'm gonna say something, and I don't know how you'll react, but I just need to say it" I told her.

     "Just say it, Deku, so you can leave and I can lock myself in here again."

     "Ochako Uraraka, I spent so much time training and trying to become stronger, but I completely ignored you and how you felt. I didn't know how I really felt about you until it hit me last night  I need you, Ochako. You never gave up on me and I don't want to give up on you either. What I said was wrong" I said to her, causing her to gasp.

     "I want to make all this up to you, tonight. Just the two of us. Would you like to m-maybe... go out to eat and maybe a movie?" I asked her.
