*Ochaco's POV*
It's almost time for our performance, and Deku still hasn't returned from getting rope from the shop. He texted me to say that he was gonna be a few minutes later then expected because he had to go to a specialist shop to get it, but this was cutting it close. I hear some members of the class start to voice their concern about Deku's whereabouts. The show was literally about to start, when Deku rushes in with the rope, looking a little rough and distressed. I run over to fix his hair while he hands the rope over to Aoyama, I ask,
"You okay, you look a little... worse for wear?"
"Heh... yeah, I got into a little bit of a situation on my way back, I'll tell you about it later." Mina and Toru are giggling at how close we are right now, I try my best to ignore them, but I can't help but smile at it. Deku runs into the changing room to get into his outfit. While the rest of us get into position. He rushes back out to join us and the curtains start to rise. It was time!
*Deku's POV*
I was still a little disorientated from my previous battle, but the performance couldn't have gone any better. Jiro, and everyone on the band, were amazing and the dance team were really cool too, thanks to Ashido's coordination. I was on the dance team for the first few minutes, before I was helping the special effects. As soon as the concert had finished, and the people started to file out I see Eri and Mirio-senpai. She was smiling. She excitedly talked about what she saw. I could feel myself getting super emotional, and a tear was starting to form in eyes, and I kneel down to say,
"I'm glad you had such a good time," She smiles while nodding her head. Mirio comes from behind her and says,
"Hey, the fun doesn't stop here, we still have more thing to do." Eri cheers, as Ochaco walks over to us.
"Hey guys, and hi Eri, how are you?"
"I'm doing good."
"That's nice to hear, so what do you guys have planned for the rest of the day,"
"We're just gonna go around the whole school in a circle, so we can make sure we don't miss anything." Mirio tells Ochaco.
"D'you mind if join you guys?" She asks, Mirio replies with an assured 'yes!' while I nod. We start heading around the school, catching the end of class 1B's play and watching Kachan compete with Kirishima and others in an obstacle race. Spending the day with Ochaco and Eri was so much fun. And to see Eri smile made the day even better.
It's almost the end of the day and Eri has to go back to where she is staying. Mr. Aizawa is waiting for her next to his car, as is Mirio. Eri is a little saddened by the fact that this is goodbye, Mr. Aizawa reassures her that she will see me again soon. I get out from my bag a container, which had a candy apple in it. I remember her being excited to eat one of these when we went to visit her. I held it up to her and her eyes and smile widen. Mirio exclaims,
"Whoa, candy apples! I didn't see a stall selling those!"
"Yeah, when I noticed that there weren't gonna be any at the festival, I decided to make one for Eri, here, taste a piece," I say facing back to her while simultaneously giving the apple for her to eat.
"Wow Deku, it tastes amazing, so sweet." she says. I reply,
"I'm glad you like it; I'll be seeing you again soon, okay?" She nods while continuing with the apple. She gets into the car with my teacher and senpai. I wave goodbye with Ochaco. Once they get far enough away Ochaco comes into hug me. As she pulls away, we start walking back to the dorms, she says,
"so, what was it that was keeping you so late,"
"Oh right. There was this..." I continue my story about my encounter with the Gentle Criminal. She chuckles before remarking at my ability to always find trouble. Things have been great between me and Ochaco and I don't want to ruin it. But I feel so bad about hiding the truth from her on so many occasions. Why I train so often, my relationship with AllMight and Kachan, the notebook she found in my room about the One for All users. Luckily, she didn't open it, otherwise she would've found out then. But I want her to know. I don't want to lie to her about it. And I can tell that I worry her, but AllMight has been advising me not to tell anyone. And I've been taking his advice since I was feeling quite bad after I kinda told Kachan about the quirk. I've been hesitant about the whole situation because of it. I don't know what to do. Before we get into the dorms, she tells me that she wanted to talk to me about something, her tone of voice was kinda serious, so I was worried. She goes up to my room pretty much straight away, and a few minutes later I also join her. I walk into the room and close the door behind myself,
