@historias-multorum​​ asked: "Ochako-san, I'm having a study session in my room for the upcoming test. Wanna come?" - Momo

Ochaco perked, her brows aching from furrowing for so long as she had stared intently at the page of information that offered none to her, and relaxed at the presence of her classmate. “You are?” Hope and elation shot through her tone as she reached down, gathering up the splayed books into her arms. “You’re a real hero, Momo-chan!” The brunet fawned, knowing where the vice president studied, the zero gravity hero could understand the material.  

And where there might be snacks as well.

If my character was under a truth serum, what would you/your character ask them? || Still Accepting

@cupids-flight​​ asked:  I would ask what Ochaco's true reasoning for being a hero is - so I can assist in bringing it to fruition.

“My…true reasoning?” Ochaco echoed the question, her gaze unwavering upon the familiar inquirer. If this question had been presented at the very beginning of her tenure at UA, then it would be a simple, albeit selfish, answer that flung from her tongue: to earn enough money to support her family. The income aspect of a hero was sought after, but also frowned upon. Those who saved people should do it solely for the benefit of those who need it.

People like her that desired recompense were considered leeches upon the society that no longer had a glimmering hope that was All Might’s shoulders.

“I…” Her lips parted, chocolate eyes wide and holding their spot upon pink. Every part of her knew that her drive had shifted from the initial goals, the friends she had made, the sorrow she had witnessed, the battles both won and lost. They shaped the girl into something more than simply thinking of herself and her family. It was more than she could even breathe into existence.

Swallowing down, the truth began to slip from her tongue. “When I started, all I wanted was to earn enough money so my parents wouldn’t ever have to struggle and I could buy whatever food I wanted. But now it’s to be someone who can make other heroes smile. A reassurance that I have their back, and that the people we save can smile too. I want to be the best in my class, even if I know there is a huge gap between myself and some of my classmates.”

There was a pause as she offered a gentle smile.

@jabbers-wild-world​​ asked:  He doesn’t say a word, just walks up, and slumps down next to her, and it’s only a moment or two before he’s leaning his back to hers as he shifts position. Just being close to her was enough for him. - Bakugou to Ochako

Studying for their finals for the year, Ochaco’s focus was nearly wholeheartedly upon her school work as she scribbled upon her notebook, ensuring that her notes were pristine and all of the answers at the ready for her to go over. It wasn’t until Bakugo’s weight fell upon her back that she blinked, tilting her head back some to peek at him, before offering a little smile.

@bstar​​ asked: “ O - Ochako - chan ! “ Izuki stammered , rushing to her aide. How did she end up smack down on the ground , she usually catches herself ! ( deku for ochako ! )

A groan issued out from her as she began to lift up a little, her gaze bleary and face tinged with green. Ochaco’s arm stretched across her middle, holding it as her other began to brace herself up, hearing the familiar voice call out to her. “…De…ku?” She asked, trying to swallow down the nausea that had overwhelmed her enough to make her fall from the air. A small break in her concentration and her elbow gave, nearly causing her to crash back into the floor.

“I-I’m…fine.” He was the last person she wanted to see her like this, the person who she admired so much to see her weak. “Just…maybe training on an empty stomach wasn’t my best idea.” A laugh hid the pain that wracked her body. Truthfully, she had been overexerting herself for days now, trying to strengthen herself. With the chaos the League had caused them, the way Izuku and Bakugo seemed to be racing ahead of her, she couldn’t falter now.

She had to keep herself going.

@jabbers-wild-world​​ asked:  “Hey. I got you- I bought- ...Just take the stupid thing!” Bakugou quickly shoved the object into Ochako’s hands, avoiding eye contact. It was an adorable mochi charm keychain.

Ochaco was patient with him as he stammered, her chocolate gaze watching him as he fiddled with the present in his hands. Knowing he would eventually either give up in rage or manage it, she was calm as she waited for either to happen before finally, the prior was the victor. A small giggle emerged from her lips as she accepted it. Well, he had lasted a good thirty seconds, nearly a new record.

Plucking it from her palm, her focus fell wholly on it as she stared in awe. Adorable, and perfect for her to place either on her phone or her dorm key, she was elated by the gift. “Katsuki!” She smiled brightly, pulling it close to her chest. “I love it, it’s perfect!” Immediately she got out her key—the phone would need a case if she were to put it on her old clunker of an electronic—and hooked it.

@lonelydxnce​​ asked:  (Izuku for Ochako) don’t go.

The call had come in to the Gunhead agency of a robbery nearby, and most of the heroes and sidekicks had already taken off to the scene. Ochaco had been left behind to man the station in the meantime. It was not for the need of her quirk, but instead that they had several students come to attempt their internship and needed the practice. The Zero Gravity hero didn’t mind staying back, especially when it came to the fact that Izuku was there to keep her company.

But when the explosion came from the direction the heroes had taken off in, Ochaco was already on the move, out of her seat and grabbing up her helmet. Readying to put it on, she halted as his small voice beckoned to her. A plead to not jump into the fray. A beg for her to stay with him.

“Izuku…” She murmured softly, her finger trembling on the frame of her headgear as she turned to peer at him. “Izuku, I…” She wanted to stay. She wanted to protect him.

Ochaco wanted to make him feel safe and smile.

Placing it on her head, she turned back towards the door. “Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. Being a hero means I have to go, even if I don’t want to. I’ll be back really soon, okay?” Turning back to him and smiling brightly, she forced the twisting in her stomach down to instead offer him that light. That promise that she would always come back.

Listening quietly to his explanation, Ochaco’s expression shifted from that cheery brightness it commonly held, to a dimmed sadness that crept across her features. She had always assumed that feeling nauseous from negating gravity would be one of the worst side effects of quirks—aside from whatever happened to Deku when he went too far, but he was always a special case since the beginning—until now.

Being in love as it was, hurt too much. To feel it over and over and over again, only to have it slink away and grip your heart until it felt like it was going to burst? It seemed to be too cruel of a thing.

But here Maeda was, enduring it, just for her excursion. For them to become heroes; he had wholly accepted the consequences and still pushed forward. Even as the pain filled him, he seemed unchanging. Just Maeda in his stoic expression. For anyone, he was truly Plus Ultra.

Ochaco took in a deep breath, shaking her head enough that her brown locks lifted without the use of her quirk. “It’s fine! We can absolutely do it without the quirk or you having to hold on longer than you have to!” Her hands curled into determined fists, pulling close to her as she waved them a little. “Plus, Aizawa-sensei probably pushes you hard enough during practice, so don’t worry about it!”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want him to use his quirk around her again, she already knew he would have to. But Ochaco wanted to keep him from doing too much so soon.
