Izuku used to dream about finding his soulmate, the person he was destined to spend his life with. But sadly things don't always go as planned and after a bad two years, he almost resented the thought of finding his soulmate. Ochako, being the good...
"Oh come on Izu! We've been planning this since we were little, you can't bale on me now," Ochako complained to me as she paced my room. We had been best friends for practically our whole lives, and she was dead set on dragging me to this thing.
"I don't want to go, Ochako, all of the alphas in this town only want to use us as sex toys, I'd rather not find my mate," I told her. I knew firsthand how bad they could be, I don't want to be stuck with someone like that.
Tonight was this special ball that was thrown once a year. If you haven't found your mate by the time you are 18 you went to the ball to try and find them. It was such a big deal and I hated it.
"Oh come on! You and I used to dream about finding our mates and now you want to bale on this opportunity?" Ochako asked sitting on the bed beside me. "What happened?" She looked over at me and I wondered how she could be so positive about this when she knew what happened.
"What happened was-" I started as I stood up leaving her side. Now it was my turn to pace. "-I found out that the majority of alphas use us just to get off, I don't want to be stuck in a relationship like that," I said. "Not again." I looked down at the floor sadly, kicking my foot against her carpet. "Besides, I'm perfectly happy on my own."
Ochako got up taking my hands in hers. "If you won't go to find your mate then at least go so that I won't be alone," she said, giving me her puppy dog eyes. When I said nothing she continued, trying to guilt-trip me into going. "You know... I heard they have free alcohol there, and you know how easily I could get drunk without supervision."
"Are you trying to guilt-trip me?"
"Is it working?"
I stare at her a little longer. God, I hate this, but she's right, I can't let her go alone. "Fine, but I'm only going for you, I don't have to talk to anyone I don't want to."
"Yay!" She said happily bouncing up and down. "Now help me pick a dress!" she said running to her closet and pulling out her dresses. And honestly, that process was waaaaay too long.
In the end, she picked a nice peachy sort of colour dress. It reached just above her knees and had a floral design. It poofed out at the bottom making it look more frilly.

I felt like it was too short, who knows what someone might do if they saw some sort of opening. For some reason, people see clothing as an invitation and don't ask if it's ok to touch them.
"Ok, now you!" Ochako said. "We should go to your house."
I sighed. "Fine," I said. "But I still don't want to go."
Ochako put her dress neatly on her bed. We still had 4 hours till we had to leave so there was no point in wearing the dress at the moment, she could accidentally ruin it or something.
The walk to my house wasn't that long it was under a minute because I was only three houses down from where Ochako lived. We said a quick "hey" to my mom before heading up to my room to pick out an outfit.
