The Source of My Strength

Chapter 18

The couple is walking from the train station to Inkos house, Izuku has barely said a word since he's been thinking about the dream he had. "Hey Deku, you sure you're ok?" Ochaco asked being very worried about her boyfriend. Though he wasn't paying attention as he was stuck in his own head.

Why can't I unlock Levitate already? That would help me a lot with maneuvering through the air with shoot style. Besides, unlocking is just the first step. I also have to train with it. And since Shigaraki can level cities with it and still hit someone, Levitate seems like the best way to fi-

Ochaco tapped Izuku on the shoulder with her right hand since he was holding her left and he snapped out of his trance. "Yes Ochaco?" Izuku asked. "I've asked you three times if you were ok and you just kept looking down, what's wrong?" Ochaco asked making Izuku feel bad.

Did she really ask that many times without me hearing her?

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just nervous about training and everything. I'll be ok." Izuku said smiling, hoping she doesn't ask any more questions. "Ok, you'll let me know if you're ok though. Right?" Ochaco pressed, trying to make him answer. "Yes. I promise." Izuku said not knowing it was a lie. "Good. Oh look, we're hear!" Ochaco said looking at the apartments.

The two walk up to the door and Izuku opens it. "Mom! We're hear!" He yelled to get his mothers attention as they walk in. Suddenly Inko walks around the corner and gives the two a big hug. "You finally show up! Where have you guys been?" Inko asked noticing that they are a little late, though she was kind of overreacting the time.

"Yeah, sorry mom. I kind of got a big headache and was out for a second. But I'm ok now." Izuku said while rubbing his head. Inko then looks at Ochaco. "Is this true sweety?" She asks Izukus girlfriend. "Oh, yeah it is. But he says he's ok now so let's just go with it." Ochaco said making Inko chuckle a little bit. "Boys can be so complicated with pain. You never know if they're lying." Inko whispered making Ochaco laugh.

"What are you two whispering about?" Izuku asked a little worried they're making fun of him. "Oh nothing. Hey Izuku, I have a present for you and your girlfriend." Inko said before running to her room.

"What do you think it could be?" Ochaco askes as Izuku shrugged. Inko comes out with two boxes, one labeled Deku and one labeled Uravity. What was weird to Izuku and Ochaco was the use of their hero names and how she handed the Deku to Ochaco and the Uravity to Izuku. "Ok, now come with me. You'll open those in the livingroom." Inko said super excited for them to see what the presents are.

The two made it to the couch and sat down with the boxes on their laps. "Ok, you guys can open them now!" Inko said looking more excited than the two with presents. They both open the presents and look inside.

In Ochacos box, there's a jacket that is bright green, it looks a lot like Izukus first costume. It had small ears and it came with the same colored sweatpants. "It's just like Dekus costume!" Ochaco smiled and hugged the jacket.

In Izukus box he has a jacket that has the same design as Ochacos hero costume. It has everything including the two black dots on the collar. And it came with sweatpants like Ochaco but it matches his jacket. "W-wow. Thanks mom, I love it!" Izuku said also growing a smile.

"Well, go ahead! Put them on!" Inko said still very excited. The two put on their respective jackets and look in the mirror together. "Wow." Is all Izuku could say when he looked at Ochaco wearing the jacket with the hood up.

"What?" Ochaco asked. "It's just. You look really cute." Izuku said blushing a little and looking away. After he said that Ochaco started blushing. "You two are too cute." Inko said making both of them get flustered. "Thanks. Anyway, they are awsome mom. Thank you." Izuku said hugging his mom. "Of course sweety! Anything for my baby and his girlfriend." Inko said.

"So anyway Inko, how have you been? We haven't been able to check up on you when we got here." Ochaco asked making Inko happy. "You're such a caring girl, that's why I like you. Anyway, I'm doing fine, thank you for asking Ochaco." Inko said smiling at the young girl.

The three then sit down in the livingroom and Inko gets up to make dinner and the two are left in the livingroom alone. "You know Deku, you are really cute in that jacket." Ochaco said blushing a little as she said that. "Oh. Th-thanks. You do too." Izuku said also blushing now. "You already said that silly. Anyway, why is your mom so great?" Ochaco asked.

"Well, she's raised me practically by herself. And since I wasn't exactly popular as a kid, she had to make up for my lack of friends. So in a way she is my mom and my best friend. I mean, you're also my best friend but you know what I mean." Izuku said making Ochaco wonder. "That's right, I don't know much about your childhood. Just that Bakugo bullied you as a kid." Ochaco said looking a little said.

"Ok kids, it's time to eat!" Inko said getting the food dished up. "Ok!" The two said at the same time. The three eat dinner and finish it. It got pretty late so Ochaco and Izuku decide to stay for the night, so they change into their sweatpants and Izuku gives Ochaco a shirt that he left at the house from his room and wished her a goodnight before going into the livingroom and seeing his mom sitting on the couch.

"Sit down son, I want to have a talk with you."
