The Source of My Strength

Chapter 45

1 week until Izukus birthday

"Ochaco, what's wrong?" Izuku asked as the teen won't let go or speak.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know how much stress you must've went through Deku. I should've been there to help you." Ochaco said, making Izuku realize that he hasn't fully explained everything about One for All yet.

So that's what this is about.

"Ochaco, I-" Izuku began but was cut off by Ochaco. "I knew you were bullied by Bakugo, but I didn't know that it was for being quirkless. I wish I knew but I understand why you didn't tell me." She continued but pulled back from the hug.

"I want to be with you when you beat All for One and save this world. I want to stick by you through everything Deku. But first you have to promise, promise me that you'll tell me the truth from here on out. About you, about your quirk, everything. Got it?" Ochaco asked while looking at Izuku with caring eyes but has a slight bit of fear for Izuku.

Izuku nodded and replied. "I promise Ochaco." He leaned in and kissed her, reassuring her. Ochaco pulled out of the kiss and hugged Izuku again. "Thank you Deku. I love you." Ochaco said. "I love you too Ochaco."

The couple stayed hugging for a little while longer but then decided to head back to the dorms. They made it back and went straight to bed.

~~~Ochacos POV~~~

It was morning and Ochaco wasn't able to sleep since making it back to the dorms the previous night.

Ochaco sits up and goes to the bathroom so she can shower before her day of training.

I wonder how we'll train today, unfortunately I got no sleep since I was thinking about everything I was told. But hopefully I can train hard. I have to get strong enough to fight alongside Deku.

She stayed in the shower for around 15 minutes but eventually got out and left the bathroom to see Izuku sitting up, muttering to himself.

It's so weird that he does that but I also find it kinda cute.

After admiring her boyfriend for a second, Ochaco decided to snap him out of it. "Hey Deku, you're mumbling to yourself again." She said while waving a hand in front of his face. But to no avail.

"Hey, babe?" Ochaco said while touching Izukus shoulder. Izuku then got startled and snapped out of his trance. "Wh-wh-what did you call me?" He asked with his face growing bright red.

Wow, I knew it would work but not this well.

"Babe, what's wrong with calling you that?" Ochaco asked. "N-nothing, I just didn't expect it is all." He responded, with his face returning to its normal color.

"Well, Deku. I would love to sit here and chat all day, trust me. But I think you should start getting ready to train." Ochaco said, trying to make her voice sound stern yet sweet.

"Ok Baby." Izuku said, trying to get a reaction out of her. "Wha-" Ochaco began but was cut off. "But you know, we DID wake up pretty early. Maybe we can have some fun beforehand." Izuku said while grabbing Ochacos waist, making her blush.

He's pretty convincing.

"De-Deku." Was all Ochaco could say. Suddenly Izuku let go of her waist and begin to walk towards the bathroom. "But, unfortunately you're right. We should start training, we don't have all day afterall." Izuku said while entering the bathroom, making Ochaco speechless.

How the hell did he get so good at teasing me like that?

An hour goes by and Ochaco, Izuku, and Bakugo, all met up at the training spot but All Might was late. "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS GUY?! HE ISN'T GOOD AT BEING EARLY, IS HE?!" Bakugo said, while angry at All Might for being late.

Bakugo maybe getting better but he still has quite the temper.

Izuku goes to Bakugo to calm him down but right before he could, All Might is seen heading towards the group. "FINALLY!" Bakugo exclaimed loud enough for All Might to hear. Then the group sees another person behing All Might.

"Is that Todoroki?" Izuku asked as he sees the half hot, half cold user following All Might. "Yeah, I wonder why All Might brought him." Ochaco said.

"I am here with young Todoroki." All Might said in a tired tone.

Did he stay up all night after we all talked?

"A-All Might, you sound tired." Izuku said. "Yeah, I wa-" All Might began but was cut off by Bakugo

"CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ICY HOT IS HERE?!"

Straight to the point. I guess he didn't change everything.

"Yes, well, he is here to help with training. That and his potential is the second highest in UA so I decided that we can help him with that." All Might said, not realizing what he just did.

Oh no.

Ochaco turns around and sees Bakugo, his face red with anger and he looks like he might actually explode.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Bakugo yelled.

Oh no, here we go.

Izuku and All Might spent 30 minutes trying to calm Bakugo down until finally he was quiet and ready for training.

The group worked on combat training. Izuku was focusing on his speed and ability while using float against an opponent (Bakugo). While Todoroki was trying to snipe the two out of the air so he can work on his speed and precision. And Ochaco worked on her zero gravity, mainly the amount she can float and her own control while floating.

They worked hard and continued for days to be ready for the fated day.

The fall of UA.

~~~Authors note~~~

Just a quick note, I'm sorry for taking so long making this chapter. I wasn't sure what to write but I finally know.

Next chapter will be a date with Izuku and Ochaco. The one after will be the beginning of the end as it will be the last stretch of chapters for this story.

The last chapter might be chapter 50 but we will see when the time comes since there is a lot to cover. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the story so far and I hope you all read the next few chapters! <3
