#herostoried / uraraka ochako

Ochako's apology is met with silence, broken only by the faint sound of rustling when Izuku puts his hands in his pockets. Despite the obvious implications that would come to mind first, this silence doesn't weight heavy on the shoulders, coming as a sign of a thoughtful moment than anything else.

"People do a lot of things they shouldn't," Izuku sums up eventually, cleverly, as his words could be an answer to both the other's statement and her veiled question. Realizing it—or is he?—a moment later, he adds one more thing: "I'm sure you'll find out everything about me soon enough." Most likely when the classes start, in half an hour give or take a few minutes. As if out of spite, there's no clocks around for him to see when exactly.

"You're a nice girl, you know. You seem... kind."

Ochako's face falls at Izuku's sudden drop in mood, and it hurts when she can tell she's disappointed him. It's ridiculous that she should care about that - he was (is?) a villain! But... even in his anger, he's trying to be understanding. He's holding back his frustrations, at least to an extent.

She doesn't know how that makes her feel.

"...I'm sorry." Ochako finds herself apologizing, eyes downcast as she plays with the fabric of her shirt awkwardly. To be honest, she still doesn't entirely get it. She wants to ask what he means when he says he wouldn't, and when he says he doesn't have a quirk... honestly, it takes her by surprise. It's not something she'd thought about before. But all the comments she's heard throughout her life, about the quirkless... suddenly rush into her head, filling her with shame.

"They... they shouldn't treat you that way." It feels stupid as she says it - obviously, he knows that already - but she still wants to make her feelings clear. But if there really are people out there who think people like Izuku shouldn't exist... how is he supposed to reach them, anyway? Is it even fair to ask him to try?

Ochako bites her lip - she can feel herself growing more and more confused, and she feels like a traitor to herself for even considering the thoughts floating in her mind! All at once, she wants to run away, so that Izuku can't "corrupt" her anymore - but she stays rooted in place, thinking deep down that Izuku doesn't deserve that.

"I guess... I don't like seeing people get hurt. But I don't even really know what you did as a villain, so it's not fair of me to judge you..." She can't help but wonder if Izuku even really is a villain. He seems just like an ordinary boy, like one of her classmates... did the Heroes make a mistake somehow...?

The villain smirks—or is it just a normal, amused smile?—at the other’s reaction and moves his shoulders in a small shrug, as if saying that fine, if that’s what she says. Forgetting that his hands aren’t free makes the gesture a bit awkward—but just a little bit. Even despite an unskillfully tied tie, the school uniform fits him, like he’s supposed to be here somehow. Who would have thought.

“Yeah?” The boy hums when the other student mentions their first thoughts of him, “And who did you expect? Someone mean and scary?” Izuku may not look like it, but he certainly could meet these criteria. He doesn’t want to.

After a pause, he addresses the other part of what Ochako said. ���I don’t think there’s anything that comes to mind. I guess we could go back to class?” Another moment and he adds: “I can always ask you to show me around again if we missed something, right?”

Ochako's apology is met with silence, broken only by the faint sound of rustling when Izuku puts his hands in his pockets. Despite the obvious implications that would come to mind first, this silence doesn't weight heavy on the shoulders, coming as a sign of a thoughtful moment than anything else.
