Izuku's POV:

He woke up to bright lights glaring in his face. He got up with a bit of a struggle and looked around. He was in Recovery Girl's clinic with Ochako and Eri sitting close beside him and Recovery Girl staring out the window. Izuku observed that they hadn't seen him sit up yet. "What happened?" he asked. Ochako immediately turned to look at him as soon as he'd spoken. "Deku, you're awake!" she exclaimed and hugged him so hard he could barely breath. "U-Uraraka-S-San-y-you're-ch-chok-ing-m-me." her eyes widened, "Oh I'm so sorry Deku!" He smiled weakly, "It's all right Uraraka-San, you were only trying to make me feel bette-''he got cut off when Eri jumped on him and gave him a hug to rival Ochako's, and yelled, "DEKU-KUN, WHY DID YOU GO TO SLEEP WHEN WE ALL WERE TALKING?!" Izuku immediately went to work trying to calm her down. "No, no, Eri, I fainted because......" he looked at Ochako. "Why did I faint again?"

Ochako's POV:

Just then Recovery Girl said, "I'll give you all some time to talk." and walked out of the room. Ochako remembered Izuku's question and blushed lightly. "W-what?" she asked, trying but failing to avoid his gaze. He looked at her questioningly. "I said, why did I faint?" Eri stared at them both. "Papa, why is mama red?" she asked, confused. Izuku went pale at what she said. "Oh yeah...." he whispered. "Anyway, Deku, are you okay?" Ochako asked, trying to changing the subject. He looked at himself. "Yeah, it looks like it." Hearing this, Ochako said hurriedly, "Wellthat'sgoodI'llgoaskRecoveryGirlifyoucanbedischarged." Then she ran out of the room. When she was alone, she thought to herself, WHY DID ERI CALL US PAPA AND MAMA?! She did have parents......right? She found Recovery Girl at the cafeteria getting some soba and rice. Ochako walked up to her. "Hey Recovery Girl? Can Deku be discharged from the clinic?" Recovery Girl looked at her. "Yes he can, but do you have something, or someone, bothering you?"

3rd Person's POV:

After Recovery Girl said this, Ochako blushed very intensely. "W-what do y-you mean?" she said, while clearly avoiding the elderly woman's eyes. Recovery Girl looked Ochako sternly in the eye. "I know how you feel about Midoriya even if you don't." Ochako blushed. In her mind she thought, Oh I know.... While out loud she really said, "I-I don't know what you're talking about." This time when she said that, she looked the Pro Hero in the eye. "Deku-Kun is my best friend, nothing more." Recovery Girl stared into her eyes for what Ochako thought felt like an eternity. Finally, Recovery Girl turned and walked away while saying, "Whatever you say Uraraka." Relieved but flustered for reasons she didn't know, Ochako went back to tell Deku the good news.

Izuku's POV:

He was talking to Eri when Ochako came back. She looked a little flushed, which sparked his curiosity, but was mostly relieved when she said he could be discharged.

After they left the clinic, Deku gave Eri her candy apple. They were all walking toward the dorms with Eri eating her candy apple. When they got there, Ochako asked Eri if she wanted to see the zero gravity quirk user's room. Eri replied enthusiastically, "YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!" Ochako was taken aback by the powerful words from the small girl but managed to contain it, though Deku saw right through her. (After all, he was surprised too.) The older girl took the one full of energy to her room, but Izuku stayed back. He wasn't sure if he could handle being in Ochako's room: he might pass out again. He thought back to when his crush came back from going to talk to Recovery Girl. What had the Pro Hero said to make her look like that?

Eri's POV:

As Uraraka (Mama) opened the door to her room, Eri gasped with delight. All around Ochako's room was Thirteen merchandise, anime, and manga. Kawaii and Mochi plushies were on the bed, in the corners, and all over the rug.

Author's Note:

I know this isn't what it looks like in the anime or manga, but I feel like her room describes her attitude. So I made Ochako's room based on her lively, enthusiastic, sweet personality. Now back to the story! :)

Eri looked around in wonder. "This is your room?" Ochako smiled, embarrassed. "I know it's kinda dorky," she said, looking kinda sad. "I remember when people used to make fun of me for liking this kind of stuff." Eri stared at her, amazed. "You call this dorky? It's amazing!" Surprise etched into Ochako's face. "Y-you really think so?" she asked hesitantly, still looking pretty down. "You don't think me liking this stuff is weird?" Eri shook her head very seriously. "Of course not! You're allowed to have your own interests, no matter what other people say!" she said. "You can like whatever you want!"

Ochako's POV:

When she heard what Eri said, she was shocked. Ochako never knew how serious the little girl could be when she wanted to. She'd faced so much, yet here she was encouraging Ochako. Shadows covered Ochako's eyes. Eri got worried. "M-mama? Are you okay?" Finally, Ochako looked up. She had tears in her eyes. "Thank you so much for that Eri," she tearfully said. "You deserve those words more than me after all you've been through." She took Eri in her arms and held her tight. Eri as well started to tear up. "W-well you needed that mama. You were s-sad." Ochako smiled gently at the little girl. After they both cleaned up, they headed back downstairs to meet Deku.
