More pillars descended towards Izuku, who reached out and grabbed them with his Quirk, stopping them long enough for him to get his footing and jump out of the way before they ripped themselves free and crashed into the spot where he had been standing. But the shockwave from the crash ripped out, and cracked the ground under Izuku's feet, sending him spiraling to the ground.
Wolfram capitalized and sent multiple pillars to crush him, only for All Might to intercept them, putting his body between them and Izuku, catching them all and holding them back.
"All Might!"
"Now isn't the time to wonder about these villains' motives. Focus on winning, and then we can figure this out— hack!"
All Might coughed and hacked up a mouthful of blood, wincing as he could feel his body starting to scream at him.
Izuku could see the steam coming off of him like a smokestack, and knew things were bad. And things were about to get worse. Looking past All Might, Izuku could see Wolfram preparing to unleash another attack, doubling the amount of pillars All Might was holding back. All Might must have noticed too.
"Young Midoriya, run!"
Yeah, no chance of that happening, Izuku grunted to himself. Instead, his body glowed like an emerald star, as he reached out and held the oncoming attack back. The metal pillars twisted and groaned as Izuku held them, the metal crunching and straining as Izuku pushed them back, fighting to overcome Wolframs control, and at the moment, doing just that. Now both he and All Might were holding back two sets of attacks aimed to crush them.
Wolfram snarled as he felt his attack getting repelled, but instead of trying to overcome it, he simply sent out a third. "Die!"
All Might and Izuku watched the third attack come.
"Oh—"
"—Shit."
Boom!
Multiple explosions smashed into the three sets of pillars, turning the ones that exploded into scrap. More of them were then suddenly encased in a solid glacier of ice, while the rest were hit with something that punched a hole clean through them, shattering them into shrapnel.
"The hell is going on All Might? Why is this pissant giving you a hard time?!"
Suddenly not having to worry about the attack, Izuku and All Might turned to see who it was that had come to their aid, though they both recognized one of them by their foul mouth.
"Kacchan?!" Izuku was shocked to see Katsuki glaring at them, looking very annoyed. So, par the course. Shouto was also there, taking his hand off the ground where all the ice had come from, and last was Momo, standing next to a pair of cannons that looked like they belonged on a battleship. In fact, everyone was with them, though each had their own bumps, cuts and bruises. Kyouka, Mina, someone Izuku was only kinda certain was Moe, also known as Burnin, who was an up and coming sidekick for Endeavor, and then last but most certainly not least was, "Ocharakako!"
…
"What the fuck?"
Ochako sighed. "I told him he could use my first name. He still hasn't got the hang of it."
"…Break the fuck up. I'm not dealing with this shit every day for the rest of high school," Katsuki said, looking absolutely disgusted and horrified that this might actually be his life now.
"Don't worry, Deku! You'll get it eventually!" Ochako said with a cheerful wave.
"ARE YOU FUCKING FLIRTING NOW?!"
Kyouka groaned. "They are and it's as bad as you think."
"Can we focus on the big fucking villain?! What is wrong with you U.A. guys?!" Moe asked. "And Todoroki! I told you not to get involved here! Do you have any idea what'll happen to me if your father finds out you got hurt by a villain?!"
The amount of not caring on Shouto's face spoke volumes.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" All Might's boisterous laughter echoed over the rooftop, over the constant noise of Wolfram's Quirk ripping the building apart. "Now that all my students are here, I can't afford to just play around anymore!"
All Might immediately kicked off the ground, launching himself into the air and straight at Wolfram. In reality, he knew he needed to end the fight fast, before he found himself in exactly the same predicament he had been in months ago after his battle with the Nomu.
More metal walls and pillars were thrown into his path, but All Might crossed his arms as he blew past them. "Carolina Smash!"
The metal shattered from All Night's attack and now he was closing in on Wolfram himself. All Might was sure, one solid hit would be enough to end this.
Wolfram pulled up another wall. "That won't work either fiend!"
All Might smashed through this one as well, moving through the debris, ready to deliver the final blow. All Might swung his fist, just as Wolfram's body seemed to contort and shift. His coat shredded as his muscles swelled, and a deep crimson glow seeped out from behind his skin, giving him a demonic appearance. He crossed his arms in front of his face, protecting himself as All Might's punch hit his block. Tanking the blow with a pained grunt, since All Might hadn't expected him to have a second Quirk enhancing his strength, he was just able to keep himself from getting overpowered.
All Might gasped, "Multiple Quirks?!"
Suddenly he felt his arms and legs get yanked back, as dozens of wires and cables wrapped around his limbs, pulling him away from Wolfram and leaving him looking like a bug caught in a spider's web. More metal then closed in around him, crushing his side and making All Might grit his teeth in pain.
Shit!
With All Might trapped, Wolfram gasped, wincing as he shook his arms. "It seems I was right to make that deal with that monster."
"All for One," All Might snarled out, as he tried to pull himself free. But the pain of his weakened side getting crushed sapped him of his strength.
Wolfram lifted a hand, and the cloud of metal around him began to form and compress into multiple giant cubes. "Time for you to finally die!"
The cubes were readied to be hurled towards All Might, as he braced and hoped he had enough in the tank to weather the attack.
"All Might!"
All Might only heard her voice a split second before Ochako flew by him and landed on the metal around him. She briefly pressed her fingers together, giving herself her gravity back and and touched down. Quickly, she reached out and snagged the giant hammer before it hit the ground, removing its gravity and letting her wield it. She once again ignored the horrible things floating the hammer did to her stomach.
"Young Uraraka?! What are you doing?!"
Ochako held her hammer at the ready. "Everyone's trying to get up here. I'm just the only one that made it."
All Might whipped his head around, and sure enough, he saw his students below fighting their way through Wolfram's attack, trying to reach him. Katsuki and Momo taking the explosive routes with their explosions and cannon fire, Kyouka plugging into anything she could to shake it apart, Shouto freezing anything in his path and Mina melting holes as she scrambled around.
"You need to get out of here before—!"
The cubes of metal were launched even as All Might ordered Ochako away, not that she was paying him much mind, too focused on the task at hand. As the first cube neared, Ochako swung the hammer, the head hitting the truck-sized projectile dead center, and shattering it.
Bits and pieces flew by harmlessly while Ochako twisted, bringing the hammer back up in a reverse swing, shattering the next attack.
The third, the muscles in Ochako's arms bulged while the hammer was a blur, as the head was swung upward, sending the metal up into the air.
The last attack, Ochako screamed while bile bubbled from her mouth, "Home Run Comet!" Her counter strong enough to rocket most of the metal debris right back towards Wolfram himself.
The villain quickly acted to regain control of the metal before it hit him, though he wasn't able to get it all, cuts along his arms and cheeks showing the force with which Ochako had sent the metal back at him. "Little whore!"
Ochako let the head of the hammer crash into the metal platform while she bent over, clutching the shaft that was one wrong move away from shattering, and vomited. "F-fucking god… blergh!" Another stomaching empty wretch came from Ochako as she tried to catch her breath. All Might looked at her with wide eyes and it suddenly hit him just what she was swinging around.
"Holy shit, Young Uraraka."
"Plus… fucking… ultra…" Ochako looked up. "…Oh fuck."
Both Ochako and All Might watched, stomachs dropped, as Wolfram was quickly recollecting all the metal and scraps from the cubes and reforming it into a block the size of a large house. Ochako let out a guttural scream as she forced herself back upright and got the hammer up to swing, the shaft coming apart in her hands. The attack was launched, and Ochako and All Might were quickly swallowed up in the metal's shadow.
Until…
"ONE HUNDRED PERCENT DETROIT SMASH!"
A bolt of green lighting streaked by and collided with the metal. A lightning storm of green electricity ate away at the metal and in a flash followed by a thunderous blast, the metal was shattered and rocketed up into the sky, burning as it went higher and higher from the friction of its speed, until it was gone.
Then, with a dull unheroic thud, Izuku dropped to the platform in front of Ochako and All Might. Both looked absolutely stunned. Izuku however wasn't done, and as he climbed to his feet, both got a good look at his face. The boy was pissed the fuck off. Glaring up at Wolfram with enough hate to make even Katsuki proud, Izuku pointed up at Wolfram, the Full Gauntlet around his hand and forearm showing huge cracks and chips. "I'll never forgive you for calling Ocuraka that! Apologize, or else I'll come up there and rip off your head and shove it up your butt!"
There was a long, embarrassed silence before someone down on the rooftop just groaned out, "For the love of god, just fucking curse already!"
"Deku!" Ochako gasped.
Izuku looked behind him, and while still very mad, flashed her a thumbs up. Then his eyes snapped to All Might and he seemed to realize something. "Also, hurting All Might is bad too!"
…When did my welfare become second billing?
Izuku's counterattack had thrown Wolfram for a loop, and All Might could feel the bonds holding him loosen a bit. With a pained grunt, he ripped himself free and was up on the platform, rubbing his side as he started coming up with a new plan. Which seemed to default to, 'punch villain extra hard,' at the moment.
"Deku, was that really a hundred percent?" Ochako asked, her jaw now off the floor, but still in awe.
Izuku, his attention pulled away from Wolfram, softened his expression and fidgeted around, absently picking at the tech around his arm. "I mean… Melissa did say she made this to be able to handle a few of All Might's punches, so I just kinda…" He was rambling and sorta making excuses since he knew even with the tech, him suddenly going all out could have been dangerous. But, he also didn't want to come off like he was avoiding the question so… "Yeah… it was."
He waited for the reprimand.
"That was really hot." The way Ochako's voice had an almost husky tinge to it made Izuku chirp and his knees wobble.
"Time and place, you two," All Might cut in, trying not to let the second hand embarrassment distract him. Which was really hard. "Need to end this soon. Or else things are going to get complicated."
Both looked at him, and could tell he was at his limit. They needed a solution and they needed it fast. They could also hear Wolfram ranting. Yelling at them as he pulled in all the metal he had collected from the building, surrounding himself in a makeshift fortress.
"Okay." Izuku was back to looking up at Wolfram. "So we have to get up to him while avoiding all his attacks. That's problem one. The other one is, can we beat him without risking the Professor's life?"
Ochako blinked. "Wait? What?!"
"Wolfram has taken David hostage. He's… in there somewhere."
Ochako hissed, realizing the issue. We have the power to beat him if we get up there, but we can't use it if it puts Melissa's dad in danger… wait. It then hit her. "Where is Melissa?"
That's when everything shook. Not just the tower, which was constantly vibrating as Wolfram stripped it down. No, it was the whole island that was quaking. All Might quickly reached down to grab the two and steady them, while below, everyone braced themselves so they didn't take a bad tumble.
Shouto took the added step of freezing a few people's shoes to the ground. Momo quickly reached out and yanked Kyouka into her chest, wrapping her up to make sure she was extra secure.
"What the fuck now?!" Katsuki growled in annoyance.
"An earthquake?!" Mezou asked.
Momo shook her head. "That's impossible. I-Island isn't even connected to the earth's crust. It's a mobile island."
Kyouka, most of her view blocked from the way Momo had her face pressed in, did notice something from the corner of her eye, past the island's great sea wall. "Umm, guys, what's that?"
The ocean surface was swelling. Waves crashed as the surface of the water was pulled up into the air, dragging more and more water upward.
"If that's Godzilla, I quit," Eijirou said definitively.
"I'll throw hands with that giant lizard, I don't give a fuck!" Katsuki said, completely missing the 'are you serious' looks his classmates all gave him.
More and more salt water was sucked up into the swelling tower of ocean. The act defied all laws of physics and common reason. The swell of water now towered over the island, jutting up into the night sky like an ominous obelisk.
Then, the water roared as waves crashed over the surface of the swell. Its surface bubbling like a roiling boil, the water looked like it was coming alive. Gradually, the swell started to change; some parts receded in on itself, disappearing, while other parts expanded outwards. The swell was starting to take shape.
As more and more water moved, the shape started to become more and more clear; that of a person. A giant that towered well over the top of I-Island's central tower. Soon, that human shape became more and more defined. Large and defined muscles lined the body. Feminine features became obvious and then, at the top of the water giant's head, eight tufts of hair cascaded outward.
The giant had taken the form of America's number one hero, Star and Stripe. And if someone looked, and had either Quirk enhanced eyesight or a pair of really good binoculars, they would see Star and Stripe herself, right in the middle of her water giant doppelgänger's chest.
Looking pissed.
「The ocean shall solidify to become 1000 times my size!」
Star and Stripe reached out, her hand held out over the ocean, with her doppelgänger mimicking the move.
「The salt of the sea will crystalize and become—
Izuku was the first of the three to remember how to talk after it became clear just what the sudden water giant actually was. "All Might… Did you know she could do that?"
All Might shook his head. "No. No I did not."
"Soooo, what's she doing now?" Ochako asked when the water giant reached out its hand.
Then, turning at the wrist, it rotated a closing fist, like it was grabbing onto something. Even from the center of the island, the three of them could see something white start to form from the hand. At first looking like giant white crystals, they continued to grow and reform from the giant's hand and then upward from the surface of the ocean. At first, the shape was something none of them could guess, but as the seconds went by and the crystals solidified into a form, no one could mistake what the giant now pulled out from the surface of the ocean and held up at the ready.
Katsuki looked up, staring up into the sky. He even took the time to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Is that fucking Andúril?!"
Eijirou looked at Katsuki blankly. "Is that… a word? You hit your head or something?"
Mezou was all eyes as he looked where Katsuki was looking. "Are we sure we're focusing on the right thing?"
"Maybe Bakugou finally gave himself a concussion from all his explosions."
Katsuki sneered. "Are you two serious? From the damned books." The blank stares he got just made him angrier. "What kind of bitch asses don't read the Lord of the Rings?"
"Ooooh, did they make a book from that old movie or—-"
"I'll fucking kill you if you finish that sentence."
Momo looked up at the creation in wonder. Her voice regal and elegant, she recited, "'Reforged, from the shards of Narsil in Rivendell. The light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen. And Aragorn gave it a new name and called it Andúril, Flame of the West.'"
Kyouka blinked and looked at Momo. "Please quote Lord of the Rings to me more."
With a sword of solid salt, the ocean Star and Stripe hefted the weapon up, clutching the hilt with both giant aquatic hands, stepped over the ocean wall, and strode forward, giant feet crashing into the giant lakes that ran around the city. With only a few steps, the ocean copy was now more than close enough to reach the central tower.
Wolfram was desperately pulling as much metal as he could to protect himself.
As Izuku watched the giant raise the sword up into the sky, it hit him. "Wait, does she know about the Professor?"
Swoosh!
The giant sword was brought down and cut through Wolfram's defenses like they weren't even there. Slicing through all that metal like a hot knife through butter, Wolfram's metal fortress thoroughly bifurcated, though the villain himself hadn't been hit. He was however reeling in a panic as he tried to recollect and regain control of all the metal around him. While he did, Star and Stripe reached out, and shoved a giant hand into the mass of metal and cables. When she pulled back, Izuku could see her pulling her father out, clutching him protectively in her hand.
"She got him!" Ocahko cheered
"HA HA HA! Masterfully done!" All Might clapped. "Now, I suppose there's only one thing left to do. With the hostage freed—"
"—We can smash that jerk's face in!" Ochako finished, smiling like a feral insane child. Or a student of Miruko, take your pick.
"Er… Well, I mean yes, but not how I'd phrase it…"
Ochako just ignored All Might. "Deku, give me your shirt."
"Yes ma'am." Izuku quickly went to work pulling off his tattered shirt and handing it to Ochako.
A little too fast to take off your clothes Young Midoriya! Also 'ma'am?'
Ochako, after snapping off the ruined and disintegrating hammer shaft, quickly took Izuku's shirt and wrapped it around the floated hammerhead, before strapping it to her fist, creating a makeshift, completely overkill, brass knuckle. Ochako posed with her new weapon, flexing her arm and doing a perfect Rosie the Riveter. Izuku openly gawked at his armed and dangerous girlfriend. "That is the hottest thing I've ever seen."
"And I get to see you without a shirt. Win-win." Ochako smiled hungerly and unashamedly.
"Again. Time and place you two." All Might looked down at his two painfully in love protégés and sighed. "If you two are ready?" Izuku and Ochako turned away from each other and looked up at him, their determination burning in their eyes. "Lets go!"
Wolfram screamed in rage as the three suddenly started running towards him. Still only just holding himself together, the attacks he sent out were wild and unfocused. To make matters worse for him, any attacks that might have gotten close were countered and destroyed by the other students. Everyone was doing anything they could to hold him off and create an opening for the three to get to him.
All Might was able to smash through anything between him and Wolfram while Izuku, with Ochako catching a ride as she held on for dear life, scurried and dodged around, zipping across the roof like a little bolt of lightning.
Wolfram tried to collect enough metal to crush them, but with another swipe of her giant sword, Star and Stripe scraped that. "DAMN YOU!"
Leaping up into the air, All Might, Izuku and Ochako were ready to deliver the final blow. Izuku launched Ochako before he kicked off after her, All Might right besides them, their fists drawn back. Wolfram tried to wrap himself up in as much metal as he could. But it was too late.
"TRIPLE!"
"DETROIT!"
"SMASH!"
The impact shook the tower to its base as the fortress Wolfram had created for himself exploded in blinding white light.
With a groan, Izuku slowly opened his eyes, as he tried to figure out what was going on. He remembered the final attack, an explosion and then…
"You know, you guys are lucky I was there to catch you. Otherwise the backpage news for the day would have been, two stupid kids make graphic street art with their guts."
Sitting up, Izuku turned to find Star and Stripe sitting on a railing, smirking at him.
"Star and Stripe? Wha… Wait, the battle! Wolfram. Your fa… I mean the professor! All Might, my friends! URACHAKO!? Where's—"
"Deku, I love you, but if you keep screaming, I'm breaking up with you and fight Tsu for Toga." Ochako groaned as she sat up beside him and rubbed her aching head. "Where are w—urk!"
Ochako gasped as Izuku wrapped her up and squeezed her in relief. "YOU'RE OKAY!"
Star and Stripe snickered at the pair. And while they got themselves oriented, she explained the events right after their attack. "So you won, you three pretty much obliterated that villain… and the top of the tower. It's going to take… like a whole day to fix. Maybe two." Star and Stripe pointed off to the side, and the two looked to see the ruined top of the central tower already buzzing with small repair drones. "I grabbed you guys as you were falling along with All Might. I put you two down here and dropped him off back home for… obvious reasons. Along with my father." Star and Stripe sighed. "Uncle Might will … deal with things regarding Papa."
"Deal with things?" Ochako frowned, not liking how that sounded.
"I'll explain tomorrow. Let's just enjoy the win." Star and Stripe smirked. "And don't worry about your friends. I let them know you all were okay. So was Melissa. Told them that they should head downstairs and get their injuries treated. I'll take you both down to join them after you've collected yourselves."
Izuku got to his feet, and helped Ochako up too. It was then he noticed that the Full Gauntlet wasn't on his arm anymore. He recalled, just moments before everything went white, the shower of red as it exploded off his arm. "Oh no! Melissa I broke your… ah… I mean…"
Star and Stripe laughed. "No worries, I brought you two to a roof that wasn't monitored twenty four seven. You don't need to watch what you say here."
Izuku nodded before bowing deeply. "I'm sorry I broke your gift, Melissa."
"Oh, don't worry about it at all. I destroyed hundreds of those things when I was training. That was just one of the early ones I still had in stock. I kept improving and making new ones, but after I got these," she flexed, "I didn't have to make new ones. But since your arm isn't shattered, I'd say they did their job. How many full power punches were you able to get out of them anyway?"
"Two. I got to throw two one hundred percent Detroit Smashes! It was amazing!"
Star and Stripe blinked. Even though the Full Gauntlet she had given him was the type one model, those were still able to take three full power punches from her uncle. So Izuku breaking it in two, said a lot.
Star and Stripe then noticed Ochako looking down at her own hand. "By the way, you obliterated the hammer. Congratulations, you're just as nuts as your boyfriend. Using something like that for a boxing glove. Absolutely insane."
Ochako laughed, scratching the back of her head. "I mean, it worked didn't it?"
As the three let themselves take a moment after their win, Izuku looked over at Ochako, hands over her head as she came down from the adrenaline high. He was captivated by her. Bruised and dirty, her dress torn to the point that it wasn't even really clothing, just doing a good enough job to cover what needed to be covered. He just wanted to…
Star and Stripe sighed when she saw the media drones start to buzz around. "Welp, looks like they already found us. Now the fun part can begin. What do you two say about letting me do all the talking? Less risk of—"
"D-Dekuhmmmm!"
Star and Stripe blinked and turned, before quickly turning away. Izuku had rushed to Ochako's side, and was now holding her cheeks as he leaned in and was giving her a very heated kiss. Which, after her initial shock, Ochako was happily and enthusiastically returning.
Star and Stripe blushed and, again noticing the flying media drones, grabbed her cape and raised it up, acting like a privacy curtain for the kissing pair, since she was sure the two didn't want themselves plastered all over new cycle with their lips locked. After a little while, Star and Stripe was about to drop it back down, but when she peeked to make sure the two were done with their kiss, they weren't.
"Ah-em. Sooo you done?"
The smacking of lips seemed to get louder.
"Now?"
Neither Izuku or Ochako were pulling away. No, now they had their arms wrapped around each other.
"Now? ... Okay you two, this is… You know breathing is important right?"
Star and Stripe stood there, looking completely uncomfortable as she was now responsible for making sure the two didn't make fools of themselves. Gonna throw both of them into the ocean. That's what I'm going to—
Hmmmm!
Ochako's hungry moan was the end of it. "OKAY YOU'RE BOTH DONE! NONE OF THAT! GIRL PUT THAT TONGUE BACK IN YOUR MOUTH!"
Ochako pulled back with a disappointed sigh, while Izuku looked a little dazed. His fingers brushed along his lips, Izuku looking amazed. "W-was th-that yo-your—"
Ochako licked her lips as she smiled, before giving Star and Stripe an annoyed look. "Buzz kill."
"I-I almost got a-a-a-a-a fr-fr-fren—" Izuku was broken, his mind skipping as he came to terms with just how close he had gotten to Ochako french kissing him.
Star and Stripe was able to get the pair back down to the ground with little trouble, moving fast so that they could get checked out, and their injuries worked on by the doctors and EMTs on site. Fortunately for the both of them, nothing they had couldn't be fixed up amazingly fast with the island's advanced tech. By the time Star and Stripe escorted them away from the tower, they were sporting some bruises and were sore, but had no other injuries to worry about.
After making sure their friends were all alright, Star and Stripe dropped them off at their hotel before she departed, saying she had a feeling her night still had a few issues to deal with. Izuku and Ochako, who now had been filled in, both wished her good luck. And that if she needed to talk, their door was open.
Izuku groaned as he got off his phone. "Okay… that's Toga and Mom up to date."
"Good idea to call them before we crashed… otherwise… yeah, I don't think those would be fun phone calls."
"No kidding," Izuku said with a chuckle.
"Ugh… what time is it anyway?" Ochako asked groggily as she shuffled herself into their shared suite.
Izuku looked over at the clock by the bed. "…bed time." Despite feeling exhausted, Ochako chuckled. Izuku started pulling out towels so they'd be ready whenever they were done taking turns with the shower. "Sorry your pretty dress got all torn up."
Ochako looked down at herself., "Yes… it's a tragedy."
"I'm sure All Might could get you another one."
"…" Ochako glanced over at Izuku, and could see he looked legitimately sorry for her, and was trying to make her feel better with the idea that somehow, All Might had access to a second dress. "You're sweet, Deku."
That was the extent of her ability to lie.
"I'll get everything ready, so you can take your shower first," Izuku offered as he started laying out towels for Ochako to use.
Ochako hummed. She had to admit, a hot shower sounded absolutely divine. Just what her aching muscles and joints needed. Plus, she could feel the dust and rubble on her skin. It felt like she had just come out from an active construction site, just without all the fun.
Yeah, a nice long shower sounds like just what the doctor ordered… Or a bath would be even better, Ochako chuckled, just lie in a tub and soak this crazy night away. It was too bad that taking a bath was out of the question.
Ahem.
Ochako frowned at the stupid voice in her head. She could practically see Himiko in her mind smirking and pointing. Rolling her eyes, Ochako turned, and suddenly remembered the fucking jacuzzi tub sitting in the center of the room.
Happy birthday bitch.
…Okay so what? Just kick Deku out of the room so I can soak in the tub? I do that and bitch would be the nicest thing to call me.
The way that voice hummed was really concerning. Who said anything about kicking Deku out?
Ochako blinked. She absently pointed at the tub, then at Izuku, her mouth opening and closing. WHAT?! So you're saying I should just suggest that Deku and I hop into the tub together?!
Again, I'm you. You're just imagining me with Toga's voice, so you can avoid taking responsibility for the fact that you are fucking horny and want to do all sorts of things to the innocent hunk behind you.
…Fuck.
That's one of the things, yup. The voice cackled. Look at it this way. If this was a mixed onsen there'd be no issues.
An… onsen…
Yup! So just because—
"Deku, do you want to use the jacuzzi tub?" Ochako suddenly asked, completely cutting off the voice in her head.
Izuku froze in place, in the middle of hanging up some nice fluffy towels for the shower, and some more in case they were needed. "H-H-huh?"
Ooooh, so we're just going straight in, huh?
Are you complaining?
Nope!
Izuku looked down at the tub, then at Ochako. "N-no! No, it's alright. I'm fine with the shower. But if you want to use it, I don't mind waiting down in the lounge for a bit. Actually, yeah, um… if you don't mind, I'll take a quick shower while you get it ready and by the time I'm done and out you can use it."
Ochako had seen the way Izuku's eyes had dilated, the way he had looked at her, his eyes going from her face, traveling down. A lot of her was exposed, but Izuku had been making a concerted effort to not stare. But she could tell where his mind went before he refocused. It was honestly so adorable.
"Deku, that's not what I meant," Ochako said, smiling as a blush spread over her cheeks.
Izuku pointed at her, pointed at himself, then pointed at the tub, and Ochako nodded. And Izuku promptly puffed out a cloud of smoke as a blush spread out from his face, covering his ears, crawling down his neck and over his very shapely pecs. Ochako took a moment to admire the look before she cut off the stuttering she was sure was about to come.
"I'm not saying we… you know, jump in naked." Ochako had to stop from laughing at the weird mix of relief and disappointment that flashed across Izuku's face. "And I know we don't have bathing suits, but… we have towels." Izuku looked over at them. "What if we… treated it like we were in a mixed bath onsen? We'll shower off, get off this grit and dust off us… then… we can soak in the tub together." Ochako could see Izuku was having many thoughts about this. A lot of them looked like happy thoughts. "And maybe we could… make out too."
Izuku thought about it. Was this appropriate? No, not really. In fact, this was probably really inappropriate. Even with Ochako's reasoning, it was still the two of them getting into a not super large tub together. And under their towels, they would be naked. And kissing. Izuku blinked. "Wait, I'm being asked by my incredibly hot and beautiful girlfriend if I'd like to get in a jacuzzi with her and make out… and I'm asking questions? What is wrong with me?"
You also said that last bit out loud kid.
Ochako snorted as she laughed. "Seems like you're not against the idea."
"N-no. Not at all…" Izuku gulped. "Just, um…"
Ochako could see some hesitation, and had a pretty good guess what they were over. "We'll keep the towels on, and we won't do anything either of us aren't ready for."
Maybe some clear boundaries were a good thing. Something for both of them to cling to, while they tested out some new waters together.
"I'll take my shower first, then you Deku. While you're in, I can get things all set up."
After turning off the shower, Izuku gulped nervously. His hands tightened the towel around his waist, because of all the unknowns he was about to step out into, his towel falling off in front of Ochako was not going to be one of them. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, his heels making little splashes in the puddles on the shower's floor. Izuku hesitated to open the glass door and leave the shower, questioning his state of undress, and wondering if maybe he should throw on a shirt.
But you don't wear shirts in hot spring baths… Izuku shivered, despite standing in the steaming mist of the recently turned off shower. Maybe this is a bit much… Maybe I should—
"Deku?" Ochako's voice had a slight tremble to it, betraying her own nervousness. "The jacuzzi's ready. Are… you going to join me?"
Caution and second thoughts thrown to the wind, Izuku quickly exited the shower, almost slipping as his feet slid on the tile floor. Stepping out, Izuku tried, he tried his best, not to look like he was rushing. That he was completely in control of himself. He also didn't want Ochako to catch him staring.
He of course failed spectacularly as Ochako giggled when she saw how fast he flew out of the shower.
Izuku also failed not to stare. Ochako was sitting on the edge of the jacuzzi tub, running a hand through the bubbling water. She had one of the room's large fluffy white towels wrapped around her chest, with the bottom hanging at around mid thigh. She had also tied her hair up, so that her shoulders and upper chest were left bare. So Izuku stared, hard.
Ochako blushed, but didn't exactly do anything to stop Izuku from looking, nor did she take any steps to hide herself. She just smiled and reached behind her, pulling out the small complimentary bottle of champagne and the two flutes the hotel had sent them. "I figured… if there was ever a reason to have a little secret drink…" She snickered when she saw Izuku bob his head up and down. With the look on his face, Ochako was pretty sure he would agree with anything she said.
She had to admit she liked this power she held over him.
Though, taking her turn to stare at Izuku's waistline, and how he had tied his towel low enough so that she could see all of his toned abs, she got the feeling she could end up under his power too at the drop of a hat. Which gave her an excited little shudder. But those thoughts were for later.
Setting the glasses and bottle down on the tub's edge, Ochako got up, and keeping a hand on her towel, started to get into the soothingly warm and churning water. Izuku was quickly by her side, offering his hand to her, giving her something firm to hold onto as she stepped into the tub so she didn't accidentally slip. As Ochako slipped into the water, she let out a long, content sigh, stopping only after she was sitting down, the roiling water coming up to just under the top of the towel around her chest. Ochako's head leaned back, so that it rested on the tubs rim, and she moaned, "Oh, this feels soooo good."
Izuku almost flatlined hearing Ochako make that kind of sound.
"Hmmm, Deku?" Ochako smiled up at him, her eyes twinkling with mirth, love and a tad bit of lust. "Aren't you getting cold standing there? Come on, the water's great."
Izuku's head bobbed up and down as he nodded. He almost on instinct leapt into the tub to get in quicker, but fortunately, his brain wasn't completely turned to mush at the moment, so he didn't. He did take time to consider where he was going to sit. The tub could fit two people, though it would be an intimate squeeze no matter how they were arranged. Which, given everything else about the room, was most definitely the point. There were two places Izuku could sit, at the other end of the tub, so that he'd be facing Ochako, or…
Ochako moved a little to the side, freeing up some space.
…or he could sit right next to her. And given the smile she had on her lips, that was clearly what she wanted. So Izuku carefully slid in beside her. There was a lot of contact, even though he was trying to be careful not to jostle her, but as he finally got situated, Ochako just rubbed up against him anyway.
"Feels good, huh?" Ochako teased while she reached over and grabbed the glasses, handing one to Izuku and keeping one next to herself while she started fiddling with the small champagne bottle cork until it popped. "Ah! Here we go. Come on, come on, give me your glass."
Pouring Izuku a glass, then herself, Ochako held up her drink. "Here's to you. You fought a villain and didn't end up in the hospital."
"Hey!" Izuku complained while Ochako cackled and clinked their glasses together. Izuku sipped at the drink, the bubbles tickling his nose. The strange dry taste reminded him of the wine he had got to sip at the expensive dinner with his father's boss, though this was much… dryer might be the best way to describe it. It wasn't bad, though Izuku thought he probably hadn't developed the taste for alcohol yet. Maybe it would come to him when he was older.
Gulp.
Throwing the glass back, Ochako downed the bubbling treat like it was nothing. She giggled at the bubbles and decided that this was much better than regular old wine. "Oooh, I like this."
Izuku's jaw dropped. "Did you just… I think you're supposed to sip this."
Ochako rolled her eyes. "I'll sip on the next one." Checking the bottle she hummed, "Yeah, there's enough for one more each."
Not to be outdone, Izuku copied Ochako and quickly downed the rest of his glass, which after his sipping was only a little over half. Still, it was like someone gave him a little clubbing around the ears as he gulped it down. "Oh wow… okay, not doing that again."
Ochako snorted. "Lightweight."
"I'm fine being a lightweight. That's totally normal. How are you not one too?" Izuku asked, eyeing Ochako as her cheeks started getting a little pink, either from the heat of the water or the glassful of alcohol.
Ochako refilled her glass, but kept it on the rim. She did the same for Izuku's and guided his back to rest on the rim as well. "You're asking the wrong questions for a time like this, Iz. U. Ku."
Hearing her say his name in such a teasing way, made him shudder as an excited jolt shot through him. Ochako, snuggled up against him, felt that and she hummed happily, her fingers running little circles around his collar and chest. "Yeah, what you should be asking is, do you wanna finish that kiss Melissa interrupted?"
Izuku actually gasped, like a little boy being told he was getting a surprise treat. "The french kiss?!"
Oh, Ochako loved how excited Izuku was for this. Cupping his cheeks with her hands, Ochako leaned in and pressed her lips against Izuku's. First starting off with soft, gentle, kisses. Then, as she snaked her arms around his neck, Ochako's lips lingered on Izuku's longer.
Soon, Ochako didn't bother to pull her lips away from Izuku's at all. And when his arms snaked around her waist, she hummed at his touch, and slowly parted her lips, letting her tongue slip out and the tip lick across his lips, repeating what she had started to do earlier. She ran it across where his bottom and top lips were pressed together, delicately guiding Izuku to open up.
When his lips finally parted, Ochako's tongue slipped between them and found his. Hungry and delicate, the touches were wet and hot. As Ochako brought her tongue back, she moaned happily when Izuku's tongue followed after hers, pressing against each other and making gentle pokes and prods.
All too soon for either, they pulled back, giving each other a chance to catch their breaths. Ochako felt like her lips were tingling. Izuku's warm lips and mouth got her whole mouth feeling it. Eyes sparkling, Ochako giggled, "Dang Izuku. You've got some hidden talents, hmm?"
This close together, being held like she was, she was pretty sure the heat she was feeling wasn't coming from the steaming water. "Makes a girl wonder what else you can do with those lips of yours."
Izuku's mind was complete mush. No thoughts, only Ochako. That kiss, that intimate touch of her tongue against his, had taken Izuku for a ride and he was pretty sure he had seen god. Who was a goddess named Ochako. And mushy brain Izuku wanted more. Wanted to do more. Wanted to not just kiss Ochako's lips, but do something she had done to him earlier, but take it to another step.
"Ochako," Izuku's voice carried so much want and heat that Ochako felt it. She also shuddered hearing him say her name.
Through half lidded eyes, she looked at Izuku coyly. "Hmmm, finally got it right, Izuku?"
"Ochako, I want to kiss you like you kissed me in the Ferris Wheel. But… more. Can I…" Izuku's eyes drifted from hers and fell on her neck. "Can I kiss you here? I wanna give…"
Izuku licked his lips while his fingers lightly ran up and down Ochako's neck. Ochako smiled, and tilted her head to the side. "A hickey, huh? Do whatever you want… As long as," Ochako caught Izuku's eyes with her own, "I get to kiss on your neck too."
Ochako groaned deep in her throat as Izuku kissed and sucked at her neck. It almost felt like he was marking her as his. And she didn't have any problem with that at all.
By the end of the night, after spending more time kissing, drinking the last of the champagne and snuggling up, the two were tired, spent and ready for a good night's sleep. Though after getting changed into their night clothes, and falling into the bed, they didn't even bother to put up any pillows as a boundary. Instead, facing each other and holding each other's hands, they each had two thoughts.
Just how lucky they were to have each other, and that they really hoped the bruises on their necks blended in with the other bruises they had from the fights, so they didn't look too suspicious tomorrow.
