Ochaco Uraraka

Kyouka: Hey Ochaco

Ochaco: Hey

Kyouka: Are you ok? I know that what happened with Bakugo was hard on you.

Ochaco: No I'm fine. Just exhausted. Between hero work and the situation with Bakugo, it's mentally taxing. I never have time to myself anymore.

Kyouka: But you still have time for Midoriya.

I didn't respond.

Kyouka: Oh come one Ochaco, we both know you have a gigantic crush on him.

Ochaco: It doesn't matter.

Kyouka: Yes it does.

Ochaco: Just leave me alone.

Kyouka: You know what, I have an idea. Why don't you come over and hang out with us. Take the day off, because you need it.

Ochaco: Fine. I'll be over in a few minutes.

Kyouka: Great! See ya in a bit!

I rolled my eyes and got out of bed. I had just taken an afternoon nap. I got dressed, just putting on a white t-shirt, and shorts, with a nice white sweater. I packed some things, knowing that Kyouka would turn it into a sleepover. I opened the door to my house, walked to my car, started it, and drove to Kyouka and Kaminari's house.

Kyouka Jiro

"She's coming over Denki."

"Cool! How about Midoriya?"

"I got him coming to." The doorbell rang. "That must be him right now." I walked over to the door and opened it. Standing there was my childhood friend, Izuku Midoriya. "Midoriya!"

"Hey Jirou. Nice to finally see you again." Midoriya stated. He took off his sunglasses and walked in. He was wearing a
t-shirt with the Nike logo on it, and some blue jeans. "Nice house you got here. Did you buy it, or are you just renting it?"

"We bought it." I answered. "We make quite a bit of money as professional heroes."

"I noticed." He replied. "Is there anyone else you're inviting for our, as you call it, 'game time'?" He asked. I giggled a little bit. "What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing." I responded. "We did ask Ochaco to come though." At the mention of Ochaco, I could see a tint of red run over his face, just beneath his eyes.

"Ochaco? Cool, I haven't seen her since the incident." We walked into the living room, where Denki was. Apparently , he heard out conversation, as he jumped right in.

"Hey Midoriya, when are you gonna ask her out?" I slapped him. "Ouch! Sorry for asking." I knew he had taken it a bit far when I saw Midoriya turn a bright shade of red.

"N-No! It's not l-like that! Besides I hardly know her." He sputtered.

"Yeah right. You two have been with each other everywhere these last few weeks." Denki retorted.

"Kaminari."

"Yes Midoriya?"

"Shut up."

"Ok."

Then, there was another knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" I said. I walked over and opened it. Standing there was Ochaco.

"Ochaco! It's great to see you again!" I gave her a hug.

"Yeah, sure. I'm tired, so don't mind me." She walked in sort of sluggishly.

"Hey Ochaco!" It was Midoriya, calling out Ochaco's name. She instantly perked up.

3rd person POV

"Izuku?" She poked her head around the corner, only to see Izuku shirtless. She internally freaked out, turning the shade of bright red. She retracted her head, and looked at Jirou.

"Why didn't you tell me they're shirtless?!" Ochaco asked, clearly flustered. Jirou looked at her questioningly. She poked her own head around the corner.

"Oi! Why are you two shirtless?" Ochaco heard the response.

"Kaminari made a bet his muscles were bigger than mine. I won!" At that statement, Ochaco turned an even brighter shade of red.

"W-W-Will you two put shirts on!" Ochaco explained. She heard a silence from the other room. Suddenly Izuku walked over to them with a shirt on.

"Sorry." Ochaco just rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. Let's just get to the games."

Time skip brought to you by this message-

"Objection!"

"Mr. Wright, What is the meaning of this!"

"My client was being possessed by her twin sister, Dahlia, at the time of the murder. Therefore, there is no way it could have been her!"

"Objection! Ah, ah, ah, but Mr. Wright, have you forgotten? It's already been proven that the time of death is unknown, as the victim had been bashed with a blunt object, and had been losing blood for a long time."

"Grrrrrr."

"Nick, thanks for trying, but I'm done for."

"Iris! I can't let this happen to you again! You just got out of jail, I can't let you go back."

"Why do you care so much Nick? What have I done for you anyways?"

"You're my client!"

"I think we both know that's not the case Nick. What is it really?"

"I-It's B-Because.....I still love you."

"D-Do you really mean that Feenie?"

"Yes."

"I believe I am ready to hand down the verdict!"

"Objection! Your honor, the prosecutor, Ms. von Karma, has failed to present any evidence pertaining to my client."

"But her fingerprints are all over the murder weapon!"

"But as the clerk who sold that knife testifies, she didn't actually buy the knife! She picked it up and looked at it! So stop making baseless claims, and show me proof!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

"Order! Order in this court! Ms. von Karma, can you show us some actual proof?"

"N-No, your honor."

"Then, I'm ready to hand down my verdict. I declare the defendant, Iris Hawthorne, NOT GUILTY!"

"We did it Iris!"

"No, you did it. Thank you."

I ship it

Jirou brought out the first game, Sorry.

"Oh, I rock at this game." Kaminari said.

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble Denki, but I destroy you every time we play.

"Those were just flukes. I'm going to destroy you this time!"

Needless to say, he lost horribly. Jirou won easily. Izuku got second, Ochaco, third.

"What do you think we should play next Denki?" Jirou asked.

"Hmmmm....Oh, I know!" He looked at Jirou mischievously. "Truth, or Dare." Jirou laughed.

"Perfect!" Jirou exclaimed.

"No! Not that game! Come on guys, we're adults now, isn't that game for teenagers?" Ochaco argued.

"Nope! And you are going to play it." Kaminari said.

"You know guys, if Ochaco doesn't want to play, she doesn't have to." Midoriya said. Ochaco sighed, knowing even with Midoriya saying that there was no way out of it.

"Whatever. Let's play." They sat on the living room floor and played the game. They used an old wine bottle to play. Kaminari went first. He spun the bottle and it landed on Jirou.

"Truth or Dare Kyouka?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to kiss me."

"What kind of dare is that?" She kissed him with no hesitation. She looked at the other two sitting there. "Are you two jealous?"

"W-What? No!" Midoriya sputtered. Ochaco just pulled her legs up close to her body.

Kyouka spun the bottle. It landed on Ochaco.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Ochaco answered grumpily.

"Why are you so grumpy? Are you on your period?"

"No!" Then Ochaco realized something. "Hey! That was your question!" Jirou froze, realizing her mistake.

"Damnit! You got me. Your turn."

Ochaco spun the bottle, and it landed on Midoriya.

"How do you know Kyouka, Izuku?" Ochaco asked.

"We were childhood friends. We used to hang out all the time in middle school."

"Oh, I didn't know that. Your turn anyways." Midoriya spun the bottle. It landed on Kaminari.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to fry your brain and ask the next question while still like that!" He shrugged.

"Alright, then I'll be right back." He walked outside. They heard some yelling and a flash of yellow outside. Then, Kaminari came back in a few seconds later, running into things. Jirou spun the bottle for him. It landed on herself.

"Dare or Truth?" Kaminari asked, accidentally getting it backwards.

"Dare."

"Will you marry me?" Everyone laughed at this, excluding Kaminari. "What's so funny?"

"That question is so stupid! You idiot, we've been dating for three months." Jirou said. Though Ochaco noticed a small hint of red on her cheeks. Jirou then knocked Kaminari out of it. Then, she spun the bottle again, and it landed on Ochaco again.

"Truth or Dare Ochaco?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to pick Truth."

Ochaco Uraraka

I knew this was where it was going to go. Whenever someone did that, it was always the same question.

"T-Truth." I stammered. Kyouka got up in my face.

"Who do you like Ochaco?" I started sweating bullets. I wasn't ready yet. I couldn't tell him yet. Kyouka seemed to know it was Izuku. That was probably why she invited him here, as well as me. She was trying to make me confess.

"I-I don't k-know."

"Yes you do Ochaco. Stop lying to me! Cmon! Tell us!" Kyouka gave me a knowing look. I stole a glance at Izuku. When I saw him, one question went through my mind. Why was he turning red? Kyouka, though, continued to press me.

"Cmon Ochaco! Who is it? Who's the lucky man?"

"W-Well, I wouldn't say lucky....."

"Awww, don't say that. Now, Who. Is. It." This time, it was more like a demand then a question. "If you don't tell us, I'm going to lock you in a room until you tell me." I finally stammered something out.

"I-It's, I-I-I" I couldn't get it out. Kyouka finished it for me.

"You like Izuku, right?" I turned bright red, and looked at Izuku. He, too, had turned a bright shade of red. I stood up and walked out of the room.

"Hey! Where are you going Ochaco!" Kyouka called.

"I-I need some fresh air." I replied.

I opened the door to the house, and walked outside. I sat down on the cool grass, and looked at the moon. It was a beautiful sight. I looked at my phone, and realized we had been playing games for a few hours already. It was already midnight. I sighed, wondering what Izuku would say when we saw each other again. Suddenly, I heard someone come outside. I figured it was probably Kyouka, coming to get me to come back inside. When I felt someone sit down next to me, I looked over, expecting Kyouka, only to find Izuku sitting there. She was slightly red, probably from the embarrassment of what Kyouka had said.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." He responded. We stayed silent for a while, not really acknowledging each other. I don't know how long we sat in silence, but I know it was long enough to make me startled when he broke it.

"Hey Ochaco."

"Y-Yes?" I responded.

"Is what Jirou said back there true?" He asked.

I hesitated before speaking.

"Yes." Then I turned away from him, only for me to feel his hand on my shoulder.

"But why me?"

"Why don't you ask yourself why you're so hot?" I said it before I could stop myself. I turned into a stuttering mess. "I-I'm s-sorry Izuku! I-It just s-slipped out of my mouth! I-I didn't mean-" I stopped when I felt him wrap his arms around my body.

"It's ok Ochaco. I just don't know how you think that." He nervously laughed. "Most people say I'm a bit plain faced."

"Well, maybe a bit." I responded. I saw his face droop a bit at the comment. I tried to cover myself up. "B-But it's ok! You look fine!" He laughed again.

"No, it's alright. I understand. I just don't see how, the number one hero, the Symbol of Peace 2.0, or whatever else they may call, you, could like a simple police officer, who hasn't even been a police officer for a year yet, and doesn't even have a quirk."

"I don't care if that's what you are, because I-I like you, for you! You are the kindest, most caring person I've ever met! I don't care what other people think about you, or what you think about yourself, because I like you!" I exclaimed. He looked at me with a shocked look on his face. That's when I did it. I leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the lips. Just a peck. Even so, it was my first kiss, and I couldn't help but feel like I was walking on air. I stood up and offered my hand to him, and he took it, and I pulled him up. We walked back into the house, and standing there waiting for us was Denki and Kyouka.

"So, What happened out there?" Kyouka asked.

"Nothing. Just got some fresh air." Kyouka laughed.

"Is that why you two are holding hands?" She asked. I looked down, and sure enough, we were holding hands yet. We pulled our hands apart.

"N-No." Denki smirked.

"Awww, you two are so cute together." I walked over to him and slapped him. "Ouch! That hurts!"

"Deal with it." I responded. "I think I'm going to go guys."

"Awww, you aren't going to stay for the sleepover?" Denki asked.

"No, because I think I want to sleep in my bed tonight." I answered. I looked at Izuku. "Are you staying here tonight? Izuku?"

"Yeah. So, I'll see you later then?" He asked. I gave him my first genuine smile of the day.

"Of course." I grabbed my stuff, waved goodbye, and got in my car to drive back home.

Super short time skip

I was at home when I got a text from Kyouka.

Kyouka: Ochaco! We got a problem!

Ochaco: What! What is it!

Kyouka: Bakugo was here! He broke in and Kidnapped Izuku!

Ooooh cliffhanger! Anyways, with that, we end chapter number 7. Hope you enjoyed! Also, this is my longest chapter yet, over 2,000 words!
