First off I want to say thanks to everyone who has sent me some positive messages and comments. It's really helpful.
Now this chapter is basically set in this story,but at a different time
And since it's my birthday I wanted to make a special chapter for it.
And as a birthday present I demand lots of you to follow me so I can have 200 followers
Izuku rubbed his hands together as he tried to warm then up.Piles of snow were all around him as he walked down the sidewalk.
It was only a few days after Christmas so stores had only just opened back up and there wasn't much to sell as most stores hadn't re stocked yet.
' I'm an idiot. I should have got her something along with her Christmas present when I had the chance. Stupid' Izuku thought to himself.
Izuku looked up at the ice hanging on the edge of the roofs of several stores as he was in deep thought of what he should get his girlfriend.
He had thought of a couple things but every time he did the stores either didn't have it or it was out of his budget.
His and Ochako's comic work had been taking a break due to the holiday season, plus with shopping for all their friends and family really took a toll on their money.
It didn't help that Izuku bought Ochako a very expressive car despite neither of them having a driver's license yet.
'Jeez it's really hard to get someone a gift for their birthday despite it being after Christmas' Izuku thought to himself.
He soon found himself inside a bakery shop feeling a need for a drink.
"Welcome how may I help you?" Asked an employee from behind a counter.
"Can I just get a hot chocolate?" Asked Izuku.
" That will be 420 yen" Said the employee. (About 3.92$ in America money)
I definitely did not use Google for that........
Izuku paid for the hot chocolate and after a few minutes the employee brought it out to him and he took a seat drinking his beverage.
After a few minutes he took out his special All might pocket watch he got from Ochako for Christmas to check the time.
' I better get going. Ochako will be coming home from her parents soon and I still haven't gotten her anything' Izuku thought to himself.
He stood up and walked out the door throwing his cup away as he did.
'Hmm mochi? Nah that's something she always gets anyway. Maybe a movie? Nah to basic. I need something special for my special one ' Izuku thought to himself.
He looked over several different stores but nothing stood out to him.
' Jeez. How is this so hard? I know everything about her! I should be able to get something she would love! Maybe some clothes or- That's it! Jewelry! ' Izuku thought to himself.
He quickly ran towards the closest jewelry store, falling on the ice only once, and made it inside where only a couple of people were also inside.
"Welcome! Please let me know if you see something you like!" Said an employee.
" Thanks" Said Izuku as he began to look over everything.
'Hmmm what exactly should I get? A ring? Nah we ain't getting married anytime soon. A bracelet? But I don't know her wrist measurements... Oh earrings! That would be perfect! ' Izuku thought to himself.
He scanned over several different types until he found one that stood out to him.
Once again I have no fashion sense.
'This is perfect! ' Izuku thought to himself.
"Excuse me! I would be interested in buying this!" Said Izuku to the employee who immediately walked over and took them out for Izuku to look at.
"This is a good choice. It's hand crafted and it fits most people" Said the employee.
" That's perfect! How much is it? " Asked Izuku.
" It's a low price at 70495 yen" Said the employee. (About 657.58$ in America money)
" O-oh. I'm sorry I only have about 50500 yen on me" Said Izuku (About 471.06 in American money.
He pulled out his watch to check the time.
"I'm sorry sir. But I gotta get going. Sorry for wasting your time" Said Izuku as he walked towards the door.
" Wait sir! " Said the employee causing Izuku to stop in his tracks and turn back.
"Is that a All might watch?" Asked the employee as Izuku walked back up to the counter.
"Y-yeah it is" Said Izuku a little bit confused as to why the employee is interested.
"May I please take a look?" Asked the employee.
"Um sure" Said Izuku handing the watch to the employee.
" Hmm. This is actually a really nice watch. One my own children wanted one of these for Christmas but the store was all sold out. Told me that the last one was sold to a young teen girl with brown hair" Said the employee
" Brown hair? " Asked Izuku realizing who the employee was talking about.
" Yep. They said she had waited for nearly 7 hours in line. She looked like she was about to collapse from standing for so long" Said the employee.
" Wow" Said Izuku suprised Ochako would do that for him.
" Yeah so you should know that this watch is actually Worth quite a bit. My kid have been pestering me for one" Said the employee.
" W-w-what are you getting at? " Asked Izuku.
"You see I'm not just an employee. I'm the owner. And I think we can make a deal" Said the owner with a smile.
*Later
" Happy birthday Ochako! " Said Izuku holding a small wrapped box in his hands.
" Deku! I told you that you don't have to get me something since Christmas just happened! " Said Ochako with her cheeks puffed out.
" And I told you that you deserve lots of love and happiness.! Now open it up! " Said Izuku placing the box in her hands.
Ochako rolled her eyes smiling. She tore through the wrapping paper as Izuku watched on.
He watched Ochako's face light up as she pulled out the earrings from the box.
"Oh my gosh Deku! T-these are absolutely beautiful! " Said Ochako smiling brightly and happily.
" Try them on" Said Izuku.
Ochako quickly went over to the mirror,took out her current earrings, and put the new ones on.
" Oh my gosh Deku! These are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much! " Said Ochako pulling Izuku into a tight hug which he hugged back.
" Anything for you my love" Said Izuku.
"....................... Hey Deku? " Said Ochako still holding onto him.
" Yes Ochako? " Asked Izuku.
" These look kinda expensive. How did you afford these? " Asked Ochako.
'Oh shit' Though Izuku.
" Well... You see... I... May have... S-sold.... My all might... Watch... " Said Izuku.
A few seconds passed before Izuku felt Ochako's grip on him fade away. He then saw her looking into his eyes.
"Y-y-you sold your watch! But I thought you loved that gift! " Said Ochako with tears starting to form in her eyes.
" Ochako please don't cry! It's just. The owner of the store I bought these rings from said he went to a store to buy the same watch but it was sold out and the last one had been sold to you and I found out you waited hours to get it! " Explained Izuku.
".... " Ochako stood quiet as she listened.
" A-and I felt like I really needed to give you something and I found these earrings and I didn't have enough money so I exchanged the watch to get a better deal" Explained Izuku some more.
" Why would you do that for me though? I know how much you love that watch" Said Ochako.
" Because I love you so much more Ochako" Said Izuku looking into Ochako's eyes as he said that.
"... Your such a dork" Said Ochako hugging Izuku once again.
" But I'm your dork. Now c'mon. Let's go blow out your birthday candles" Said Izuku after giving Ochako a peck on the lips.
He brought out the cake and lit all the candles.
"Yes let's. And maybe later you can give me another present in bed" Said Ochako whispering that onto Izuku's ears causing him to blush redder than the flames.
"Happy birthday Ochako" Said Izuku after regaining his composure.
" Thanks Deku" Said Ochako as she blew out her candles.
She wished for a ring on her finger in the future.
If anyone cares I got manga for my birthday.
Also I'm an adult now so I get to vote.
