A Couple ( IzuOcha ) [Book 2!] | *Main bnha Series*

Chapter 8 | Midnight Craziness

Uraraka's Pov.

  She fell to the ground for a break. She felt like her bones had turned to jello and sweat formed around her.

  "I should've modified this exercise for all of you... Sorry..." Deku apologized.

  "No, it's okay," Uraraka smiled, "I'm just really tired now..."

  "No wonder Kaminari wanted to stay back, ribbit," Tsu commented, "He would've groaned and grumbled until his lips fell off..."

  "Yeah..." Momo agreed.

  "Actually, that happened a little while ago. We did Midoriya's workout and the only reason he stopped complaining was because you started making pancakes," Todoroki chimed in.

  "Maybe we should stop talking behind Kaminari's back so we can go shower and sleep..." Uraraka suggested. While Kaminari was really worried for Jiro, they were all talking about how he wouldn't stop complaining. Which might have been true, but still wasn't a very nice thing to do.

  A refreshing night breeze blew through her hair, making her feel a little better. She could've fell asleep right then and there if Deku didn't shake her lightly.

  "We need to get back inside," he insisted.

  "Why can't we just sleep out here..?" she mumbled groggily. Her eyes fluttered shut and she almost fell asleep.

  "I know you're tired Ochaco... All of you have... But you need to fight it, for me," he gave her a soft smile.

  She smiled back and sat up.

  "There's no need to be so dramatic, right? We'll make it through this," she replied.

  Uraraka took Deku's hand and stood up.

  "Let's go shower," Momo yawned.

  They made there way inside the dorms.

  "The stars were really beautiful," Momo broke the silence.

  "They were quite calming," Todoroki agreed.

  "The wind was nice, ribbit," Tsu chimed in.

  'Yeah...'

  She yawned again.

  "I'll have to think of something better to do tomorrow... I'll try my best," Deku told them.

  "Do you have any ideas so far?" Toru questioned.

  "Not really... I haven't gotten any sleep recently-" Deku cut himself off, and then the next bit he said was rushed, "Er... You guys haven't gotten nearly as much sleep as me though so I'll be fine to think of something tonight."

  "I-" Mina was cut off.

  "Shh!" someone shushed them.

  Uraraka turned to the voice.

  Jiro was... Sleeping? On Kaminari's shoulder..? When did that happen?

  Mina clapped her hands together softly with delight and beamed at the couple. Ten she pulled out her phone and took a picture.

  Momo and Tsu went over to Kaminari to talk to him for a moment.

  "When do you think that happened?" Deku wondered.

  "No clue, but it's a step closer to their confession, so I'm here for it!" Mina answered his question excitedly. Uraraka just didn't know what to say.

  Tsu and Momo came back to talk to them.

  "He said it was an accident," Momo shrugged, "But I'm not completely sure whether he's telling the truth or not..."

  "Well you ship it too, right?" Mina shoved trough the group to get closer to them, "So that shouldn't be a problem."

  "I just... Want the best for Jiro, that's all," Momo turned away from her.

  "Me too, ribbit," Tsu nodded.

  "Let's just go take showers and," the next part Toru was saying came out strained, "The boys sleep for the night..." her tine went back to normal for the next part, "We can be refreshed for tomorrow."

Deku's Pov.

  He felt really bad. Hagakure was upset that she couldn't sleep while he could rest every night...

  Deku glanced at Ochaco. She wasn't looking so awake at the moment... Almost like she could fall asleep standing up.

  Deku still nodded when she suggested going to the showers. He probably smelled awful...

  They all went up to the showers, leaving Kaminari and Jiro in the Common Room.

  His eyes felt heavy and all he wanted to do was rest on his nice, soft bed.

  After taking a shower, he felt even more drowsy. He bumped into Ochaco (figuratively, not literally) on the way back to his dorms.

  "Hi Deku..." she mumbled.

  "Hey..." he tried to sound excited to see her, but it honestly just made him sad... She looked so tired... And he couldn't do too much about it.

  "Don't sound so depressed," she smiled at him, "I'm fine."

  "You said-" she cut him off.

  "I know. I said the same think when my head was bleeding, but I'll be fine," she assured him.

  "You need to sleep,"he sighed, "But there's nothing we can do about that right now..."

  "Yeah... Unless I slept in your dorm for the night and you shared a dream with me," Ochaco sighed too.

   That was when they both stopped walking.

  His face went red immediately after he processed what she said. He turned away from her and covered his face.

  "Oh my god I didn't mean that I was just groggy!" Ochaco's words were rushed. 

  "Oh my god will you both stop? You're so shy!" Ashido complained.

  Deku felt a hand push him into a room and then the door slammed behind them.

  "Did she just-" Ochaco stopped herself. Probably after she saw him nodding.

  He flicked the light on to get a better view of the room. It was his dorm. 

  "Why does everything have to just... Go Ashido's way all the time?" Deku questioned.

  "I don't know... But I thought she was done with her crazed shipping..." the brunette trailed off. She stood up and tried the door handle.

  "Locked," she reported after a minute.

  "How did she lock it?" Deku wondered.

  "I don't know..." Ochaco yawned.

  "You're tired..." he touched her shoulder, "You can sleep on my bed. I'll sleep sitting on my chair."

  "It''s your bed though... I can sleep on the floor..." she mumbled, leaning on him.

  "No, don't sleep on the ground," he smiled at her a little, feeling heat go to his face.

  He led her to his bed and she fell to sleep almost immediately.

 'Oh no! I won't be able to think of anything to replace the morning workout... Well, I'll modify my usual one then... For now... I'll just go to sleep...'

  He yawned as he sat on his chair.

  Right before he went to sleep, he entwined his fingers with hers.
