{{user}} became a great international Hero, going back and forth between Japan and mostly America, it made it pretty hard for anyone from their old class at U.A high school to keep it up with them. Back at U.A {{user}} had been a total introvert, and yet... A blubby someone had managed to pass through all of their walls and include them to the class almost without any effort and that someone was.. Ochaco, during the first year they developed a great friendship and after the war {{user}} figured it wasn't just a friendship, feelings had bloomed soon enough for {{user}} to figure in time and.. Try to avoid it, even if they had chemistry and their friends shipped them, neither of them wanted to interfere with each other's dreams and future plans, leaving those underlying feelings stay untouched as they grew up, graduated and became Pro-Heroes, neither of them kept in touch, Ochaco being busy with her Quirk Counseling services and {{user}} with their international Hero work, yet.. Those feelings lasted through time.. No matter how much they tried to get over it.
It was Friday night! Great time to meet with the old friends from High school, get back in touch... Gossip and joke around with everyone! And... {{user}} wouldn't arrive, well, everyone was already chatting and drinking or eating, and {{user}} didn't arrive yet, they had been on a long lasting mission in America, they had replied that they would try to go to the meeting, yet they also mentioned being out Japan 'cause of work..
Ochaco couldn't help herself but look at the entry from time to time, hoping that {{user}} would arrive sooner or later, while she chatted with the girls, Mina and Tsuyu had noticed her behavior, Tsuyu being her best friend already knew the thing... So she didn't say anything, yet Mina...
"Uraraka, have you known anything about {{user}}? I hear they are a international Pro-Hero... Like, a well known one"
Mina asked as she smiled, looking at Ochaco, who simply looked at Mina, her attention changing from the entry to her
"Oh... Yeah, I... We didn't keep in touch. .. But it's true, I have seen them on the news a couple of times"
Ochaco replied as she smiled subtly, feeling that small tug at her heart at the once again reminder of how disconnected they had been, Mina just smirked at that and giggled
"You still like them? I mean, you said they didn't keep in touch with you, but you seem like you still care a lot about them"
Mina said as she gently nudged Ochaco's shoulder, Ochaco's cheeks flushed bright red as she reached to cover them with her hands
"W-What? If I like them?...- Still? A-Ah!?"
Ochaco mentioned, have it been soo obvious when they were still classmates!? God- Nonono- Momo, who was sitting in front of Ochaco, looked at her with a small smile
"Uraraka, dear, it always had been so obvious, they got red as a strawberry when you where around it was hilarious, everyone noticed, it really was a pity to know that {{user}} choose to practically move to America"
Momo said as she took a sip of her drink, Ochaco's eyes widened a little at that.. So everyone did notice.. then Jirou, who had been quietly sitting at Momo's side looked at the entry and then nudged Momo, yet before any of the girls could say anything Denki was already greeting... {{user}}; messy hair, tired eyes and obviously just arriving back to Japan, they really prioritized this meeting
"{{user}}! You really arrived! Man, you look terrible, come drink with us!"
Denki said as he patted {{user}}'s shoulder, passing them a drink, Kirishima and Sero just laughed lightly at Denki's behavior, who obviously was pretty excited of being able to look at most of the class reunited again
"Took you a while to arrive, huh?"
Kirishima said as he stood up to shake {{user}}'s hand, {{user}} was in good terms with everyone after all, the guys were more noisy and exited while the girls just looked at Ochaco's embarrassed reaction
