Day 7 - Friday

This was it. The day of the prom. The day I promised myself to ask Ochaco out. But luckily, I already built up my own courage to complete the task. The only thing left was to actually commit to it.

"Good morning Izuku!" Ochaco's beautiful figure bounced in front of me, making my cheeks turn into a light shade of pink. I bent down to hug her, while she wrapped her arms around me as well.

"Good morning Ochaco." I placed a small peck on her forehead, making her giggle. Dear god was she adorable. She glanced up at me with a sly look on her face as if she were planning something major. "What's that look for..?" She giggled once again.

"Aren't you excited for today?!!" She jumped, smiling brightly. My eyes widened in realization, and I nodded as a response.

"Oh yeah... I just got so lost in your beautiful eyes that I completely forgot.." I smirked, flirting with the brunette. She placed a hand in her cheek in embarrassment, excluding her pinky.

"Gawh, don't flatter me Izuku!!" Her face became a rosy pink, while I continued to keep her close.

"It's true you little cutie!" I released a hand from her back, and booped her nose lightly, keeping my pointer finger up after I completed my action. She stared into my eyes, her chocolate eyes shining beautifully. "...You're so gorgeous, you know that?" I said out of nowhere, my eyes drowsing. She shoved her head into my chest, her grip on my upper back growing tighter.

"Thank you Izuku..!" We gazed at each other for a while, standing there in an awkward silence. "We should probably get ready for the day.." I nodded, agreeing. We went our separate ways, preparing ourselves for the day slowly rising before our own eyes. And just like that, the school day was over. It felt like I blinked, and it was already 4:00pm since I was so eager about the dance.

"Remember, be one your best behavior at prom, don't make a mess, just be responsible and respectful. You guys are dismissed to go to your dorms." Mr. Aizawa announced, staying in the classroom while everyone scurried out of the door. Me, Iida, and Ochaco ended up walking together like we always do.

"So, are you two excited for the big night?" Iida smiled, glancing over to the two of us.

"Yea!" Ochaco smiled, making two fists and squeezing her eyes. "I can't wait, I've looked forward to this day for what feels like forever!! What about you Izuku?" She and Iida turned their heads in opposite directions to look at me, since I was in the middle of the three.

"Oh! Y-Yeah, I'm really excited! I've been looking forward to this day for a while just like you, Ochaco." We stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, completely forgetting the fact that Iida was right there beside us. "Are you going with anyone to prom tonight Iida?" I brought up to break the awkward silence. He gave me a simple and patient nod.

"I decided to go with a group of people, since I do not have a love interest at the current moment. What about you two?" Ochaco and I glanced over at each other, with an expression kind of saying that we should tell him. He stared at us, raising an eyebrow. "Is something up..?"

"Oh! Not at all! It's just that..." The brown eyed girl began, peering over to me. I gave her a small nod to notify her it was fine if she told Iida about our relationship status. "So, the thing is... Izuku and I are uh..." She trailed off, stumbling in her words with a red blush.

"We're dating." I said once I lost my patience to wait for Ochaco to spit it out. She stared down at the ground embarrassed, giving it away by having her hands on her cheeks, excluding her pinky so she wouldn't float herself. Iida brightened up, giving us a sincere smile.

"That's wonderful you two! It about time." He chuckled the last few words under his breath, however it was loud enough that the two of us could clearly hear.
