The Source of My Strength

Chapter 12

The two make it to Izukus room and make their way inside. Izuku and Ochako stand with no words for a few minutes until Ochako speaks. "Soooo, what did you want to talk about. Cause I wanted to talk to you about something." She said getting a little embarrassed.

What should I say? I can't just out right say it, can I?

"We-well, it'll take me a minute to gather the words. So, umm. You can say what you want to first." Izuku said getting a little nervous. "Oh, well. Um. Gi-give me a minute. I uh. I have to use the bathroom." Ochako said before running into the bathroom with her face as red as a tomato.

~~~Ochakos POV~~~

What should I do? I wasn't prepared for this. What do I say to him? How am I supposed to bring up 'hey, I like you'? Jeez, he makes this so difficult looking like that as well, I choke up everytime I try to say something. Ok, let's try this again I guess.

~~~Izukus POV~~~

Ok. I may have choked up. But I don't think she thought it was weird or anything. Did she? I don't know what to think anymore. I need to ask her tonight. But damn I'm nervous.

Ochako leaves the bathroom, her face is still as red as can be. She is looking down, seemingly embarrassed. "Hey, you ok?" Izuku asked forgetting how flustered he was so he can take care of her. "Ye-yeah, I'm ok. Thanks Deku, you're always so kind to me." Ochako said, still looking down.

"Well, of course I am. You're an amazing person. And I want everyone, Especially you, to be safe and happy." Izuku said without realizing what he had said. Ochakos eyes widen when he says that. "We-well. I mean, you're very important to me, so I just wanna keep you safe. Wait. I don't know what I'm saying anymore." Izuku said looking down with his face as red as Ochakos.

~~~Ochakos POV~~~

I have to tell him now.

"D-Deku, I have to tell you something." Ochako said, still looking down. "I have to tell you something too." Izuku said with determination in his eyes. "Ok. At the same time?" She said hoping he will say what she wants him to.

~~~Izukus POV~~~

Ok, at the same time. I got this. I can do it. Just three easy words. Lets do this Izuku.

"3." Ochako said, starting to count down. "2." As she counted down, both of them got even more nervous. "1." She said. Getting ready to say what she has to say. "Go." When they heard go, they both too a deep breath and was ready to say the three words that both wanted to hear.

"I like you!" They both said simultaneously. As they said that, they both turned red and their eyes widened.

Did. Did she just. Did she just say that...

~~~Ochakos POV~~~

Deku just said that he likes me?! Oh my god. I'm so happy, but like. I never would've expected it to be honest. Why me?

"Yo-you like me?" Izuku asks with a smile growing on his face, though he has no clue why. "So do you!" Ochako said beginning to go in for a hug.

The embrace was cut short, as they heard Aizawa knock on the door. "Midoriya, I know someobe else is in there, tell them to go to their room and go to bed already!" He yelled from the other side of the door.

Damn. I wish I could've stayed like that all night.

"Ok, well, I guess I should be going." Ochako said with a slightly sad expressing. "Yeah, I guess so." Izuku said with his head down. "So. Does this mean we're like. A thing?" Ochako asked, not really understanding how that stuff works. "I guess so." Izuku said.

Why do I have to leave? Gosh, I'm so happy right now.

"Anyway, I'll see you later Deku!" Ochako said before giving Izuku a kiss on the cheek and running off to her room. Izuku just stood there with his hand on his cheek, completely stunned.

Ochako finally made it to her room with a smile never leaving her face.

I just kissed Deku. He admitted to liking me. This is probably the best day of my life.

Ochako changed into the clothes she had borrowed from Izuku during the sleep over so she can feel close to him and tried to go to bed.

Tomorrow will be a good day. Hopefully I could spend it with Deku.

~~~Authors note~~~

Just a quick Authors note. Sorry this chapter is a little shorter, I ran out of time making it since I try to post daily. Anyway, I'm glad I finally established the ship and am very excited for what comes next. I have big plans for this story.
