My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 1) Chapter Seven - The Date Part 1

     "Oh my goodness you look so cute! Ooh I gotta get a picture!" Mina squealed snapping some photos.

     "Ok Mina settle down. But I will admit you do look nice. This boys gonna like you like this" Momo stated. "And if it's who I think it is, which I won't tell, he's gonna love you no matter how you look."

     "Thanks girls, this means a lot" I told them.

     "Anytime. We're always here to help" Jirou stated.

     I had to admit, my outfit did suit me. I had a red jacket with short sleeves and a good attached to it, a white undershirt, and a cute skirt that went down to my knees. Oh, and some black tennis shoes and with my hair tied into a small ponytail, besides the front that hung down.

     I got a notification on my phone, and it was a message from Deku.

Izuku: Hey, I'm ready to go when you are, just let me know.
Ochako: I'm ready now, let's meet by the cherry blossom tree in 5?
Izuku: Alright see you then there :)

He sent me a smiley face! Okay, maybe I'm looking too far into it.

     "Well girls, I have to go. Wish me luck!" I told them with a small smile.

     "You go get em' Ochako! Make him see you're worth it!" Momo told her.

     I smiled and ran out of the room and to the elevators. Once I clicked the button, I got another message, this time from Momo.

Yaomomo: Don't panic, I'm sure Izuku will love you no matter what :)
Ochako: Thanks, Momo. I'll let you know how it goes. XOXO

     So she did know who it was. I'm okay with that. The elevators opened, and  I made my way to the doors, passing Sero and some of the guys who were playing videogames.

     Once outside, I walked over to the cherry blossom tree, and saw him. He was on his phone, scrolling. He had a nice, casual outfit on too, consisting of a blue zio-up hoodie, a white shirt and black pants. I approached him

     "H-hey Deku" I said.

Blushing already?!

     "Oh, h-hey Uraraka. You ready to go?" He asked me. "I planned our day out for us, I'll fill you in on the way."

     "Alright, let's go" I told him.

     ...Do I know how I feel now? I like him. A lot. I like being around him. I like his smile, his caring nature, everything. Maybe... no, it has to be tonight. Tonight I'll tell him how I feel.

     "I figure we go see a movie first, then we go to eat after, I was thinking this new coffee and food shop nearby. Then if we have time, I have a surprise at the end" he stated.

     "What's the surprise?" I ask.

     "Well, you'll have to wait and see" he chuckled.

     "No fair!" I whined.

     "Heh. Anyways, what movie would you like to see?" He asked me.

     "Hmm... Well, they did release that new action movie. What was it called... Action Force? That one looks pretty good!" I mention

     "Hey, I heard about that one! Its supposed to be an action comedy. Sounds good to me" Izuku stated.

     We kept small talk all the way up until the theatre. I went to pay for my ticket, but he insisted that he would pay both.

     "You didn't have to do that, Deku" I stated.
    
     "Don't worry about it, consider it an apology for earlier" he stated, smiling.

     That's sweet of him. He's always so sweet and caring...

     I helped pay for some of the food and snacks, seeing as he did cover the tickets. We got into the theatre, and it was surprisingly almost empty. Lucky us, I guess. We took a seat in the top row, the best seats as they say, while we waited for the movie to start

     "Uraraka?" Izuku asked me.

     "Yes, Deku?" She asked.

     "Thank you for giving me a chance to make things right. I'm truly sorry" he said to me.

     "I should be the one thanking you. Even after how I acted, you asked me on this date. It means so much to me" I replied, feeling my face get slightly hot.

     I guess he felt the same as he started to blush slightly too. Does he like me back?... I don't know. But what I did know was that tonight was already gonna be amazing. As the movie started, we sat in silence, both excited of course.

     Twenty minutes into the movie, I went to reach into the popcorn but accident put my hand on his as he was reaching into it. I could tell I was blushing, but a look at him showed he wasn't. He was smiling. He took my hand in his and held it. After a few minutes, I was able to stop blushing and smile too. This felt great.

----2 hours later----

     The movie started finishing up and rolling in the credits, causing the few people in the theatre to cheer, even us. Sadly, Deku had let go of my hand which was a bummer. But man, that movie was longer than expected. Deku and I left the theatre, and it was only around 5:30.

      "That movie was awesome! Did you like it?" He asked me.

      "Are you kidding? It was hilarious and action-packed!" I told him.

     "I agree! Anyways, how are you enjoying this so far?" He asked.

     "It's been fun, Deku. I'm really enjoying myself."

     I didn't tell him this, but I really wanted to hold his hand again. Even if it didn't mean anything, it made me... happy. I think he saw it on my face as well, because he extended his hand to me.

     "We can... hold hands again... Only if you want though!" He said blushing a bit.

     "S-sure, I'd like that actually..." I said quietly, hoping he didn't hear me as I took his hand.

     My blush quickly faded again and he interlocked his fingers between mine, and we headed out towards the coffee place.

     Within fifteen minutes we were there, and we walked inside. We took our seat and waited for a waiter to come by.
