The Source of My Strength

Chapter 4

~~~Izukus POV~~~

Izuku is the first to wake up and he notices that they still have an hour until they have to get ready.

Man, this floor is more uncomfortable than I thought, my back is killing me. I hope Uraraka slept ok.

Izuku peaks over to the top of the bed and sees Ochaco sleeping peacefully. Curled up with his All Might blanket. Izuku looks for a little longer, happy to see her like that but then gets up and heads to the bathroom.

~~~Ochacos POV~~~

Ochaco finally wakes up to the sound of Izuku attempting to shut the bathroom door. She looks up at the clock and notices that she has an hour but should leave soon before anyone notices and gets the wrong idea. Then Ochaco sits up in Izukus bed and starts rubbing her eyes and looks down at Izukus make shift bed.

I hope Deku slept ok. Well no need to worry I guess, i should probably tell Deku that I'm gonna leave after he gets out of the bathroom. Maybe he can keep watch for me. Wait, what about his clothes though?

Izuku then leaves the bathroom to see an half asleep Ochaco sitting on his bed. "Good morning" Izuku said enthusiastically. "Morning" Ochaco was yawning when she said that. Neither of them could believe how comfortable they are at the moment, they just slept in the same room afterall. "So, how will the clothing situation work?" Ochaco asked not entirely sure if she should change into the smelly workout clothes. "Oh, well you can just give those back later if you want. I don't want to make you change if you don't have to." Izuku said turning a slight shade of pink.

Is he serious? I guess it makes the most sense. I'll just give it back sometime after class maybe.

"Ok that's fine!" Ochaco said ready to leave. "Well I'm going to head back to my room before others wake up. I'll see you later!" Ochaco quickly grapped her stuff, peaked out the door, and speed walked down the hall.

~~~Izukus POV~~~

That was kind of fun. But now it's time to clean my ro-

Izuku was cut off by a few rough and loud knocks on his door. He wasn't sure why but he knew who it was.

Is that Kacchan? Why is he knocking this early in the morning?

Izuku opened the door to a scruffy looking blonde wearing a black tank top and gym shorts. "What were you doing last night Deku?" Bakugo asked peaking over Izukus shoulder to see blankets and pillows on the floor and his bed is unmade as well. "What do you mean Kacchan?" Izuku asked hoping he didn't know Ochaco stayed the night in his room. "Last night I was hoping we can spar again after your training with All Might, but I noticed that you weren't back yet. Then this morning I see Round face running down the hall with what seems like your shirt and shorts since the shorts were obviously All Might merchandise. So I'm going to ask one more time, what were you doing last night Deku?" Bakugo sounded a little louder with that last "Deku" but he was angry. "Oh we-well, Uraraka was helping me with my training yesterday so we got food and ended up coming after curfew. We snuck into my room but couldn't get her to her room so she stayed here." Izuku admitted scratching his head.

Kacchan wouldn't tell anyone so the secret is safe for now.

"Ok, well tonight you better not be training. I want to take you on with that new quirk of yours. Also now that you're at 60%, I want to see what that really means. So meet me behind the dorms at 5 O'clock. Got it?!" Kacchan finally raised his voice getting annoyed at how long the conversation is getting. "Got it, see you then Kacchan!" After Izuku said that Bakugo gave him a rough look and started walking back to his room.

I wonder why he's in such a rush to fight me. It's kind of scary to be honest.

~~~Ochacos POV~~~

Hopefully no one saw me. Well now that I'm on my floor I think this is the riskiest part. Let's hope no one sees me and gets any wrong ideas.

As Ochaco turns the corner she sees Mina Ashido at her door knocking. As soon as Ochaco notices her, Mina turns and sees Ochaco in Izukus sleepwear. "Ochaco?! Whose clothes are you wearing?" Mina asks while scanning the clothes for any hints and suddenly notices the colors of the shorts that are showing and immediately knows whos shorts those are, as she realizes it, her eyes widen and light up as a huge devilish grin grows onto her face.

Oh fuck

"Are those Mi-?!" Ochaco covered her mouth before she can finish her question. "Sh, just come with me into my room." Ochaco whispered while looking around.

They make it into Ochacos room and after Ochaco shut the door, Mina gave her a strange look and quickly started asking questions. "Are you guys together? How long? When did it happen? What happened last night? Did you guys have s-" she was quickly cut off by Ochacos hand again. While Ochaco began turning extremely red. "We are not together, I was training with Deku last night and we lost track of time and had to sneak in, and ofcourse we didn't! Get your mind out of the gutter, I just had to stay in his room. And if you mention even a word about this to anyone then I'll make you float until you escape the atmosphere." Ochaco tried hard to sound intimidating but it didn't work.

Am I seriously THAT intimidating? She seems like she's about to burst into laughter.

"Don't worry Ochaco, I won't tell anyone. But just know that I don't believe that you guys aren't together. Like, you two seem like a total couple when you're together. It's kinda cute." Mina said trying to tease Ochaco and succeeded as Ochaco started making herself float from embarrassment. "We aren't a couple Mina! Deku and I are just really good friends is all!" Ochaco yelled trying to keep herself together. "Release" Ochaco undid her quirk and started to push Mina out. "We have to get ready for school now, and remember not to say a word! Got it?!" Ochaco sounded a little more intimidating but still wasn't enough. "Got it! See ya later girl! You and your boyfriend." Ochaco stopped and was about to object to what she was saying but before she could, Mina quickly shut the door and rushed to her own room.

~~~Izukus POV~~~

It's now time to head to class, Iida and Izuku are waiting for Ochaco but she is a little late. "Where is she? She will be late to class, something that I cannot allow!" Iida said while making his usual hand gestures. "Don't worry Iida, I'm sure she'll be fine. Probably taking her time getting ready." After Izuku said that however, Ochaco came running out of the building with a familiar pink girl with here, "Sorry I'm late! Mina insisted on walking with us so I had to wait for her!" Ochaco yelled blaming Mina for her tardiness.

I wonder why Mina is walking with us. Normally she walks with Tsu and them. Weird

"I just wanted to come so that I can see the lo-" Mina was cut off by Ochaco punching her arm, "Ouch! That hurt Ochaco." Mina pouted under her breath. "Hey! No rough behavior on school grounds!" Iida said scolding Ochaco. "Sorry Iida, I'll stop." Ochaco chuckled under her breath. Izuku just watched as the three of them argued and played around until they made it to the school.
