My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 2) Chapter Six - One Last Night

IZUKU'S POV:

    It was the last afternoon before the big fight, and everyone had worked and trained so hard, that the staff had set up a dance for the night in the gyms for us. Shiketsu high still never got back with us, so hopefully our numbers are enough. Uraraka and I hadn't spoken since our big fight, and I hadn't gotten over it. It still hurts me.

     Everyone had been ready to just relax for the night, after putting so much work in to defend the place we love. I was with Iida, Todoroki and Kaminari in the restrooms, finishing up our outfits for the night. I decided on a green dress shirt, black dress pants and shoes, and a gray vest with a dark red bowtie.

     "You don't know how ready I've been for tonight, guys!" Kaminari exclaimed. "It's been a hard couple of days. I think we earned this."

     "I agree. It's always good to limber up before a good fight" Iida stated, and noticed I was silent. "Midoriya, are you okay?"

     "It's just... Uraraka will be there. I'm afraid I'll run into her..." I told them.

     "I know it's still hard, bro. But you need to relax. Tonight's for you to have fun. After everything is over, talk to her. Explain to her where you went wrong and that you'd do anything to be with her again" Kirishima explained to me.

     "Wow Kirishima, I didn't know you knew so much about relationships" Todoroki threw in.

     "I've dabbled a little. Now come on, let's get this party started!" He shouted, pumping his fists into the air.

     He always knew how to get us smiling. The four of us walked together to the gymnasium, meeting up with Sero and Sato on the way. Withing five minutes we were there, and you could hear the music blasting inside. Aizawa was outside, making sure nobody who wasn't training or helping with the fight got in.

     Everyone with me gasped as we looked at the huge display of beautiful decorations and tables full of food around the place. Present Mic was up on the stage, preferably our DJ for the night. The place looked stunning. Jirou and Aoyama came up to us, not together of course.

     "Ah, more friends have arrived it seems" Aoyama posed, greeting us.

     "This is sick, isn't it? The girls somehow convinced me to go up to since later, embarrassing huh?" Jirou stated. "You just want anything to drink?

     "I'm good, thanks" I said over the music.

      Everyone kind of dispersed away from me as the rest of the people filed in to the gym. There wasn't a humongous amount of people, but it was still a lot. After a few minutes, Aizawa got on the mic.

     "Listen, everyone. Tonight is a celebration for all your training, you all deserved it. I want to thank you all for coming tonight and give a big thanks to The Wild, Wild Pussycats who are retired but agreed to fight with us" Aizawa said getting a round of applause. "Now have fun tonight because tomorrow we fight for our school."

     Everyone cheered. I looked around the place, but didn't see Uraraka here. Everyone else was, so I don't know why she would skip out...

     "Hey Midoriya, I'm gonna do something, and I want you to know that you gave me the courage to awhile ago, and I think tonight is the right time. Thanks man" Kaminari said, giving me a thumbs up, leaving me confused.

     He then walked over to Jirou who was with Momo and Hagakure, and I heard everything.

    "Hey, Jirou" he said.

     "Oh, hey Kaminari! What's up?" She asked.

     "I've given this a lot of thought. And seeing as we could, like, die tomorrow..." He said, and Jirou looked confused. "I wanted you to know I care about you a lot, even though it never shows, so..."
