I AM HERE! With a brand-new fanfic for you all! But before we get to the good stuff, some of my usual nonsense! HAHAHAHAHA!

… Okay, enough All Might impressions; doesn't really work in written form anyway, now does it? Anyway, anyone who's read my stuff before, you know where this is going: a (hopefully) quick anecdote about how this story came to be, because that's just my writing style, I guess.

But yeah, back in September, I got bored and decided to come over here to the MHA archive and check out what kind of Deku x Uraraka stories people have come up with, and I discovered Black Fuego Rio and his stories (which are great btw; go check him out). Perfect timing, too, 'cuz at the end of September, I got hit with a sinus infection even Recovery Girl probably couldn't help with and Rio's stories kept me going that week. After that, I got a bit restless, and with the magic of Google, I found a Tumblr page with daily prompts for this year's IzuOcha week, and here we are. God I hope this preamble doesn't end up longer than the actual story. *Sweatdrops*

Also, yeah, this is in fact my first time doing one of these theme-week, prompt-challenge-things, so don't expect Shakespeare ;P.

A Week's Worth of Green Tea

Day 1: Make a Wish

'Hmm? He's still out there?'

It was getting pretty late, and as Ochaco Uraraka got up from her seat on the couch, she noticed some green sparks in the window out of the corner of her eye. Walking over and looking out the window, she saw her best friend and possibly-kinda-maybe-sorta crush Izuku Midoriya practicing his kicks outside, occasionally looking at his notebook lying on the ground.

On a whim, Uraraka decided to go and bring him a water bottle. That's what best friends do, right? They bring each other water when one of them is working out at all hours of the night. It's not like she's doing this in the hope that he's worked up a good sweat and that his shirt will stick to his body to give her a peek at that chiseled torso she couldn't help but sneak a few peeks at during that day at the pool earlier this summer...

Ochaco shook her head to dispel those embarrassing thoughts and the heat in her cheeks that came with them. Deku was her friend. She'd been happy with that before, she can be happy with that now.

'Yeah. Yeah, I can be.' Having reassured herself, Ochaco grabbed a couple of water bottles and a hand towel and headed outside.

-Outside-

"Alright, I think I almost got it. I just gotta remember not to overextend right there... -"

"Geez, Deku! I know you're a hard worker, but don't you ever take a break? They are good for you, you know," Ochaco giggled as she approached, the green-haired boy getting up from the notebook on the ground.

"Oh, hi, Uraraka. Yeah, I've been told that by a few people," Izuku chuckled with a light blush while scratching the back of his neck. He reached out and grabbed the towel and one of the water bottles that his gravity-manipulating best friend was holding out for him.

"Well, maybe now's as good a time as any, y'know since we're already talking about it," the heroine-in-training said with a smile as she took a seat on the grass. Izuku took a moment to wipe the sweat from his face and neck with the towel before responding.

"Okay," Izuku said as he hung the towel over his shoulders and sat down next to his friend.

"Ah, yeah, okay. I definitely needed that," Izuku said after taking a much-needed drink of water from the bottle the brunette had provided. He smiled at the girl next to him. "Thanks, Uraraka. You're the best."

Uraraka hoped it was dark enough for him to not see her constantly-pink cheeks darken just a little. She smiled back. "No, Deku. You're the best."

Midoriya pretended to think for a moment. Then he playfully responded. "No, you are."

"No, you are," Ochaco fired back, trying to suppress the urge to giggle.

"No, you."

"No, you!"

"No, you!" Izuku gave Ochaco a light shove with his shoulder, having a little fun. Ochaco, by this point, had of course lost all composure and was laughing out loud.

"No, YOU!" Uraraka pushed him in retaliation and, not knowing her own strength, almost pushed him over.

Deku got himself back into a sitting position, laughing. "Okay, okay. Agree to disagree, then?"

He held out his water bottle like he was proposing a toast.

"Deal," Uraraka giggled as they tapped their water bottles together and took a swig. The two then spent maybe a minute or two in comfortable silence. Then, as she was looking up at the night sky, Ochaco saw something that almost caused her to choke on her water.

"Deku! Deku, look! A shooting star! A shooting star, Deku! You gotta make a wish! Quick, Deku, make a wish! Make a wish! Mmmmmmmm...!" Ochaco chattered excitedly as she squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her fists, making a wish with all her might.

Amused by his companion's energy, as well as figuring there was no reason not to, Izuku closed his eyes to make a wish as well. After a few moments, they both opened their eyes. Izuku turned to the girl next to him. "So what'd you wish for, Uraraka?"

"If I tell you, it won't come true! Everyone knows that, Deku!" Uraraka replied indignantly, before a smile spread across her face. "Besides, everyone knows what you'd wish for, Mr. 'Next Number 1 Hero'."

"Eheheh, yeah. You, uh, got a point there, I guess," Midoriya replied with a slight blush, scratching his cheek with one finger while looking at his shoes. He actually didn't wish for that. Figuring that Ochaco was wishing for eventual success in her dream of giving her parents an easier life, Izuku actually wished for her dream to come true, too; hopefully, with him being able to help her any way he can. Though, for whatever reason, he felt like keeping that to himself, at least for now.

"Well, we should probably head back inside before Mr. Aizawa locks us out for being out past curfew, or worse," Ochaco said, looking at the building and then the water bottle in her hands, not really moving to get up at all. Hanging out with Deku like this was nice, and she didn't really want it to end.

"Yeah, you're probably right," Izuku said as he reached over to grab his notebook, stood, and stretched is back for a moment. He then offered his hand to help her up. "Come on."

"Awww, what a gentleman," Ochaco said, smiling at the sweet gesture. She then grabbed his hand with her own as he helped her up, her pinkie finger held out the whole time to avoid accidentally using her Quirk on him.

"A Hero and a gentleman. I think I win, Deku; you are the best," she said as she stood up, giggling at the blush on the boy's face as she started back towards the dorm.

"Sure," Izuku said, regaining his composure and walking right next to her. One thing the two didn't notice, however, was that from Izuku helping Ochaco up off the ground to them reaching the door, their hands never left each other.

-End of Day 1-

Prompt for Day 1: Stars/Dreams

Fun fact: Uraraka holding her pinkie finger out like that is something Black Fuego Rio came up with. It's just such a small but brilliant detail; I love it and wanted to give proper credit.

In between that sinus infection and time of writing, I've read Rio's stuff maybe 2-3 times now, and that gave me the writing itch that started this whole thing. Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll see you all tomorrow. Plus ULTRA!
