Hey everyone, Thank you for being patient! I had to decide where I wanted to go with this story. I will be wrapping this up in the next 4-5 chapters! There will be massive time skips and you'll see what I mean! If anyone wants to pick this up, Id be more than willing to hand over some rights to my work :)
Tsuyu hopped out of bed and to her wardrobe looking to the clothes that sat were hung there and simply trying to decide what was to be worn was going to be a hard decision. She place her pointer finger on her chin in contemplation. She decided that sticking to the earthy tones she usually wore would be best and grabbed a green dress that had black stripes on the side with a ocean blue running down the middle of that. As she finished dressing her phone buzzed with a single notification lighting up the screen for the time being. She smiled at the name on the name on the screen and opened her phone.
"Good Morning beautiful, are we still good for our date later?" Tsu could not help but laugh as she respond to him.
"Yes, How long was it you had to wait to get the confidence to say that?" She tapped send and felt her stomach flutter as she grabbed her black flats and moved to the door.
"Only 20 minutes this time, It is getting better the longer we stay together and is just easier as we do more together…" She stopped reading the rest of the ramble that was seemingly a book. She smiled knowing he meant well with the long message, but he was over explaining. She made a note that it was something that they would work on together. She finally picked up reading the last line. "Was that too cheesy?" She croaked, with her laughed as she wandered down to the station to meet him on the other side of town.
"The second half was a little out of character for you, Phrasing was strange. But I think it was the right amount of cheese." She kept pace as she typed and found her way to the platform. She wondered if she fell asleep if she would have a vision again. She pushed the thought to the back of her mind as she boarded her train for the destination a small stop that Deku had decided on he was being tight lipped about her their destination. Tsuyu was settling in to the routine of getting her morning text messages from him that always finished with beautiful.
"I was trying to be smooth. I talked to Tenya about it, he said it was supposed to be a thing couples did." She stared at her phone as if trying to burn a hole through it. She was afraid that this would happen. She knew that it was possible that he would try to be something he wasn't just to impress her or keep her interested. She simply took a moment to look around and decided, as she usually did to be blunt. She boarded the train as and took a seat next to the door. As she typed her response to him.
"I decided to started dating you for you. I'm not looking for someone else. Just be yourself. Please, Don't Change." She hit send and left that at that hoping that it got the message across. She laid her head back against the glass as she stared at the ceiling, no daydreams came, but sleep certainly did. She awoke with a jolt as the world seemed to come to a raging awareness of her surroundings and life. She stood up and looked to see that she wasn't actually at her stop because the destination was different than usual. Before she had realized it, she had lost her seat to someone. She stood and waited for her stop as she slightly seethed at the individual, but quickly let it go. The train had made it stop and she was let off to a smiling Izuku. She let her long fingers and hand into a wave at him.
"Hey, Tsu." He smiled and held his arm out for her to grab onto. They had tried holding hands but it was strange with to her because of her hands so they settled on this with Deku's insistence of some form of affectionate display. She came to appreciate it as she liked his want to display how he felt. She chuckled to herself, coming out something similar to a set of high croaks. "What are you laughing at?" He asked inquisitively as they walked with him leading the way.
"Sorry, I just thought how you always put your heart on display for everyone to see. I just really appreciate it. It's cute." His face was crimson with a simple compliment. He smiled trying to not beam with happiness. They continued to walk in silence until they both reached a park and Tsuyu looked around at some of the trees noting how tall they were. The ground didn't have many small plants and very little grass. This part of the park was very old and was remaining for the portion of nature that the city had not claimed.
"This part of the city is the oldest." Deku spoke proudly, "it was untouched by people and eventually the city claimed it as a huge park with walking trails and a pond those are all man-made." He smiled, his nervousness still very evident. "Th-The pond has att-attracted all kinds of life to the park, birds, a few deer, frogs-" He immediately stopped as if he had a huge realization. "I'm so sorry, that probably super offensive, I really didn't-" They stopped on a dime. She took her pointer finger and pressed it to his lips to stop his rambling rant.
"I like frogs." She smiled at him trying to calm his nerves. "Thank you, for being thoughtful about what might be uncomfortable for me, but seriously it doesn't bother me at all." He smiled, and sighed. She removed her finger and they simply shared a stare of understanding and continued walking. They eventually reached their destination where there was a picnic basket with a blanket laid out next to it overlooking that pond he was talking about earlier although it was much larger than a pond. He obviously had gotten there much earlier to look set everything up.
"Thank you, Aizawa-sensei." Izuku declared as a yellow sleeping bag rolled out from under a bush. A purple hair kid walked hunched over looking at them both and smiled at them. This had her very confused as it was uncharacteristic for Aizawa to help and for Izuku to ask for help. Seemingly reading her mind again, Deku explained. "I came by and was setting up when Aizawa and Shinso were training and Aizawa asked if i had a plan for ants or animals or other people coming to take the food in the picnic basket. I said that I would carry it with me and he said that it would spoil the surprise, so I asked that he would look after it and I would owe him a favor." He finished with a motion to a very indifferent looking Aizawa.
"Speaking of favors, Spar with Shinso and I'll call us even. No powers just had to hand on the other side of the pond for now." He gave as a command seemingly wanting to remain unquestioned. Deku simply looked at Tsuyu who nodded. His arm slipped away and she immediately missed his touch. He and shinso walked slowly around the edge of the pond, probably more for shinso's sake more than Izuku's. She looked around able to take a minute to observe her surroundings. The pond has grass running up to the edge a few meters between the water and the scrub line. There was small bushes with a few openings around the trees were all beyond that wall. It was a beautiful scene, She could tell that a lot of planning had gone into making the pond and to the choice of location. "Now, I can talk freely." Suddenly the yellow bag appear next to her looking up to her.
"What do you want to talk about?" Tsuyu looked at the bag at her feet trying to discern his meaning.
"Life." He simply said, as the bag shuffled with his movement. "You and Izuku."
"Elaborate, please." Tsuyu said tapping her finger to the corner of her mouth.
"Warning, mainly. I'm not trying to drive a wedge in between you, rather hope you do work out, however my pessimism won't allow me to believe in you both. So, I offer this. If either of you fall behind in your studies, I won't hesitate to expel either of you." He remains indifferent throughout his whole talk.
"You won't." Tsuyu says with a simply confidence. Aizawa responds with a puzzled look waiting for an answer. They both watch as Shinso and Izuku keep going back and forth with their fight. "You want to see us succeed even with your cold personality at times, its easy to tell you care deeply."
"How did you deduce that?" He says smiling with excitement.
"Simple, We are similar. Both try hard to keep a level head but ultimately we are human and have human emotions." His smile widens and just chuckles.
"Seems like I've been found out." He shuffles in the bag. "And to think I bet against you two." He huffed and sat up in the bag. "Enough." He proclaimed as both Izuku and Shinso seperated and bowed. They started walking back towards them both. "I wish to see you both succeed, but the expulsion is not a hollow threat. Keep up the dream you both share. Become Heroes." Tsuyu simply nodded. The boys figures grew closer and there was a silent acceptance between both teacher and student, when Deku and Shinso finally made it back The bag simply looked up at them and started inching away with Shinso in tow.
"Well, that was weird." Deku said his index finger curling covering his mouth with his finger.
"A little, but we are all a little weird. Shall we?" Tsuyu holds her hand to motion to the picnic.
"Y-Yeah." Deku suddenly blushed. "I-I', Uh, Kinda starving." He nervously chuckled. They sat down making small talk and eating the little things that had been made by Midoriya. It was a peaceful date with a very weird start. The sun started to go down and as the sun started to kiss the horizon the sky turned a bright orange as it fade to a pinkish red. The frogs started to croak as the grasshoppers made their song known. It was a beautiful night. Deku leaned back and started looking up at the sky. He stared into the sky without any particular object capturing his vision. Tsuyu made herself comfortable by laying her head on his shoulder, her arm crossing his chest, and finally wrapping her leg around his.
"This is great." He said with a very content voice. "I was really worried, but this is perfect." Tsuyu shifted to look up at him.
"Well, almost perfect." She smiled, he looked down and she took her chance and leapt up to have their lips connected. It was sloppy and not proper by any means. But it was both their first kiss after all, They both had their flaws they could work on, but this was a special moment. Deku finally snapped out of the trance he was in and pulled her onto him laying on top of him. He kissed her gently and they pulled away. "Now, it is perfect." He once unobstructed vision was now filled with Tsuyu and her hair hung around they both. She leaned down and snatched another quick kiss. Tsuyu crossed her arms on his chest getting comfortable. They laid like that for at least and hour stealing kisses from time to time until the sky finally filled with stars. This was their cue to leave They packed up their things and started to leave. She grabbed his arm and leaned her head on his left shoulder as they walked. They made their way to the train station and relaxed a bit as they waited for each of their trains. The train rolled into the station. Tsuyu put her arms around Deku's neck and went to kiss him. He tried to say something as she placed her lips onto his. He lost all composure and after she released his lips. There was a moment that he squeaked out.
"Tiramisu." He was blushing hard. She laughed out loud at him as she tried to make sense of what was going. Her laughed turned to croaks she rasped out.
"What?" He blushed harder.
"I'm not even sure." He looked away. She nuzzled his neck and she got him to look at her and she kissed again.
"Let's do that again. Ribbit." She smiled as she let go of him and turned to her train.
"G-G-Good night, Tsu." He called after her. Waving his hand. Once she was on the train she returned the wave.
"Good night, my Deku."
