For the Dancing and the Dreaming
They walked along the boardwalk, holding hands. Their arms were swinging as the sunset over the beach. Pro heroes Uravity and Deku were finally taking their long awaited vacation.
Izuku started humming something, Ochako looked over and laughed. He started whistling, making her laugh harder. He bumped her hip, starting to sing. “I'll swim and sail on savage seas, with never a fear of drowning. And gladly ride the waves of life...” he started.
She rolled her eyes, still smiling. “Oh Deku...” How to Train Your Dragon was one of their favourites to watch (Izuku cried like a baby during them, and she still hasn’t admitted to sobbing during the second one).
“If you would marry me...no scorching sun! Nor freezing cold, will stop me-”
“On my journey, sorry!” Someone interrupted, he looked over, and waved with a laugh. “My wifes favourite!” The guy called, Izuku snorted. “Continue on!”
He rolled his eyes again, still chuckling. “If you will promise me your heart...and love...”
“And love me for eternity.” He looked back at her with a grin. “My dearest one, my darling dear. Your mighty words astound me. But I've no need for mighty deeds, when I feel your arms around me,” she sang, giggles dancing in her tone. He let go over her hand, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, bundling her close.
“But I would bring you rings of gold! I'd even sing you poetry!”
“Oh would you now?”
He laughed, pausing their walk. He turned to look at her, finger in the air. “And I would keep you from all harm! If you would stay beside me...”
She snorted. “I have no use for rings of gold, I care not for your poetry.” He rolled his eyes. That part of the song was true for her. He confessed with a god awful love poem. She kept it, and used it to tease him. “I only want your hand to hold!”
He kissed her cheek. “I only want you near me.”
They let their voices pick up speed. “To love and kiss to sweetly hold! For the dancing and the dreaming! Through all life's sorrows and delights, I'll keep your laugh inside me!” They sang, their laughter overshadowing the tune.
“I'll swim and sail a savage seas, with never a fear of drowning! I'd gladly ride the waves so white!” She sang, having to stop because she was laughing so hard. But Izuku didn’t stop, he moved in front of her.
“If you will marry me,” he whispered, getting down on one knee. Her eyes widened, and a hand flew to her face.
“If you don’t say yes, I will!” The lady, the wife of the guy who interrupted yelled, making Ochako laugh again. Her husband let out a gasp, making her laugh.
“Ochako, I love you. You know that. I just...I want to marry you, you know? You’re the light of my life, my laughter, joy. You deal with my mumblings, and I love you to the ends of the universe and back. So...Ochako Uraraka, give me the pleasure of being more than the happiest man on earth, the happiest man alive and marry me?”
She let out a small sob, laughing. “You dork. Of course!” He stood and swept her up in his arms, kissing her. “I love you, Izuku Midoriya. Always.”
“Always.”
