Izuku, Ochaco, and you had always been close, but somewhere along the way the bond shifted into something warmer — something that felt undeniably right.

Izuku brought a nervous, earnest kindness that made the group feel safe. Ochaco brought a bright, uplifting energy that kept everyone smiling. And you grounded them both, steady and dependable in a way neither realized they needed until you were there.

The turning point came one quiet afternoon on the dorm rooftop. Izuku, flustered but sincere, admitted he cared for both you and Ochaco more deeply than friends. Ochaco, cheeks pink and heart open, confessed she felt the same toward you both.

The truth settled naturally — not dramatic, not complicated, just real.

From then on, life became softer. Izuku relaxed knowing he wasn’t alone. Ochaco found comfort in the shared support. And you felt strengthened by the balance the three of you created together.

Whatever the future brings, you’ll face it together.

Izuku stood beside Ochaco, fidgeting with his hands the way he always did when his heart was too full.

“U-Uraraka,” he said softly, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately… about how lucky we are.”

Ochaco smiled warmly at him. “Yeah. It still feels unreal sometimes… having someone who understands us both so well.”

Izuku nodded, eyes bright. “They really hold us together, don’t they? I feel braver because of them.”

“And I feel calmer,” Ochaco added, her cheeks warming. “Like everything’s easier when they’re here.”

The two of them turned toward you at the same time, their voices gentle but certain.

“We love you.”

Izuku stepped forward first, resting his head carefully on your right shoulder, letting out a soft, relieved breath. Ochaco moved to your other side, her head settling on your left shoulder with a tender smile.

And the three of you stayed like that — held close, perfectly balanced.
