My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 1) Chapter Four - Close Calls

URARAKA'S POV:

"Y-you mean here? Like in, my room?" He managed to get out. He looked at me shocked.

"N-nevermind, I'm sorry I asked. I knew it was stupid" I said before turning around and going to leave, but he grabbed my arm.

"No, stay! I-I actually don't mind you staying" he stated, a slight blush forming.

"T-thank you. I'll take a blanket and sleep o-on the floor if that's okay?" I asked.

"No, you're a guest. You're taking the bed and I'll sleep on the floor. And there's no changing my mind" he said, putting his hands on his hips. There was no point it arguing.

"A-alright" I said shyly, before slipping my slippers off and going to the bed. I can't even begin to think of how red my face was, I was going to sleep on his bed...

He grabbed a blanket and pillow from the shelf and laid them onto the floor before laying down. I nervously tucked myself into his bed, realizing how comfy it was. I felt like I could drift off to sleep immediately, but I didn't for some reason.

"Night, Ochako" He told me.

He called me by my first name again... I like when he does that.

"Night, Izuku" I said, returning the favor .

IZUKU'S POV:

I had been laying there for about 45 minutes, unable to sleep. Guess there was a lot on my mind at this point. How she finally spoke to me, how she has been feeling, and how guilty she felt about all this. It was a lot to take in, but I'm glad she feels a slight bit better. I blushed a little thinking about her. Something about her just made me a happier person. Maybe it was because she was the first friend I made here, or maybe something else....

I heard ruffling happening on the bed, before I saw her face come into view, we made eye contact.

"Cant sleep?" She asked, dazed.

"Y-yeah, finding it difficult" I replied to her.

"Me too."

She stared for a second, as I think she was thinking of a solution.

"W-would you like to maybe s-sleep up here... with me?" She asked, before turning red and covering her face "I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to say that" she said clearly embarrassed.

"S-sure, if it's okay with you" I said, now clearly blushing.

"I-I'd like that" she said before covering her mouth. I don't think she meant to say that either. "I-I want the outside though."

I needed and climbed over her, careful not to land on her, and tucked myself under the covers. I could tell my face was beet red as I faced the wall and she faced the other way.

I was really sharing a bed with a girl!

I heard soft pouting before turning around again.

"A-are you okay Uraraka?" I asked.

"Y-yeah. I just still feel a little bit s-sad is all. I still hurt you" she said holding in tears.

"Here, turn towards me" I said, and she obeyed. "No matter what you're feeling, remember that I'm not mad at you or anything. I'm always gonna be here for you. I promise you that I won't let anything hurt you and I promise you that I'll never be mad at you because I care about you."

I pulled her into a hug. And we stated like that for a little bit. As much as it made me blush, I knew she needed it. We both needed it. She eventually drifted off to sleep, and a little while later, I found myself drifting off too.
