todoroki doesnât understand the reference, and doesnât ask because he knows ochako never explains her self depreciation jokes.

she shows him how to save, how to stretch his money and make the most of it by thinking before he buys.
itâs almost worrying just how impulsive he throws money away online for the weirdest things.

and when he finally does start making his own money as a hero, he goes to her door in excitement to share with her.

itâs probably six months after u.a, after he was cut off, that he realizes he wants her in a romantic kind of way. he has debuted already, has an agency he works for, and has income rolling in as his names blows up.
to be honest, he didnât know what romantic feelings felt like.

but thatâs kind of the thing. it just sneaks up out of nowhere.
one moment, heâs okay with the way things were, and the next he canât imagine not having her by his side as they âsecure the bagâ or whatever she had called it once.

or feelings. or driving. or confessing to his friend after she rainchecks on him for the fifth time that week, and itâs a wednesday.

the next time he sees her, theyâre working a villain scene together, and a mutual friend offers drinks at his house.
hey, itâs free liquor, and ochako had already agreed so thatâs a plus in his book.
they sit next to each other, and his heart is racing as his palms sweat.

he asks about work, about partners, and she just smiles and says everythingâs okay, that she doesnât have a partner in crime.
âwhat about dating? that kind?â

the night progresses, and he feels like some kind of creep who keeps hitting on someone whoâs clearly not interested.

heâs really not good at this, at girls and feelings and his knotted stomach.

but sheâs giggling, hanging off his arm and smiling with flushed cheeks and glossy eyes.
yeah, sheâs drunk, but he has always wanted her underneath his arm. she fits so perfectly, and smells sweet like peaches even after a long day at work.
or maybe thatâs just her liquor.

regardless, he offers to take her home, but she wonât tell him her address because, âthatâs top secret information!â
so he takes her to his house, greets his sister with a fast smile and his father with a nod of acknowledgement.
they stare at him like he has two heads.

âyouâre underaged.â enji scolds them both.
âno, iâm uravity!â ochako giggled, and shouto looked up when he heard fuyumi laugh quietly.
âand iâm going to my room. goodnight.â he told them, immediately carrying her away.
sheâs slurring, asking what he planned to do in his room.

he just lays her down, hands her clothes from his dresser and then offers to leave the room.
she doesnât get a choice as he shuts the door behind him, waits for her to tell him to come in.
he almost gets excited at the sight of her drowned in his shorts and t-shirt. almost.

and though he offers to take one of his million guest bedrooms, she pulls his arm and forces him to lay beside her.
heâs a weak man. so when she pouts, he caves fast.
they fall asleep like that, with her head on his left side and his arm wrapped around her shoulders.

when he wakes up, itâs to an elbow in his stomach and his door shoving open.
before he even knows whatâs happening, heâs leading her to the closest bathroom and holding her hair back as she pukes.
itâs gross. as much as he likes her, seeing her spit up isnât a fun time.

he tells her thereâs more clothes in his dresser that sheâs welcomed to borrow, and decides heâll start breakfast if his sister wasnât already slaving in the kitchen.
and ochakoâs embarrassed. so deathly embarrassed of her hangover and of throwing up at her crushâs house.

but he doesnât seem bothered as he keeps her hair in a grip and helps her wipe her mouth.
when she leaves to his room, sheâs fumbling with his dressers for clothes while panicking over what happened last night.
they couldnât have possibly done anything... right? he wouldnât?

thereâs no smell, no condoms and tissue anywhere.
when his door opens and his brother is standing there with a bucket of clothes, she screams.

she wants to ask who the heck puts a watch like that with their t-shirts, but refrains because itâs in a velvet box with her name hanging off of a satin ribbon.
when a knock sounds at the door, sheâs pulling the new shirt on and tossing the watch hand to hand.
itâs shouto.

foodâs done, but when his eyes land on the box, his face seems to drop.
despite that, he confesses to liking her, to wanting a date and buying it as a gift for her a month ago.

and really, shouto doesnât expect her to like him. he expects to be let down, friendzoned, or whatever itâs called.

she agrees to a date, admits to being afraid of rejection herself which lead to her pulling away and busying herself with work and others.
shouto argues the only thing she should be afraid of now is facing his family while sober.
