Chapter 3: The morning after

Deku awoke from his slumber on the sofa. The TV was still on and playing while two empty glasses sat on the coffee table surrounded by cookie crumbs.

Huh? I fell asleep? I wonder what the time is.

He was still holding the TV remote in his left hand so he pointed it at the TV and pressed the power button instantly filling the room with darkness.

Smart one Izuku now you can't see anything...and why does the right side of my body feel so heavy?

Deku was still half asleep and tried to move his right arm but couldn't move it for some reason. Wondering if he'd gotten sleep paralysis in his arm he decided to use his left hand instead to search for his phone in the darkness. Eventually he found it between his legs. He clicked the lock button momentarily blinding him with the sudden light after his eyes were beginning to adjust to the dark. Squinting at his screen he could see the time was 5:27am.

I need to go to bed Uraraka probably already went back to her room when I fell asleep...but if that's the case why didn't she wake me up? Unless she felt it would be rude of her to do that? Oh well either way she's probably alre-...

His thoughts trailed off suddenly realising something and he wanted to be wrong so badly.

If Uraraka had gone to bed she would've turned off the TV yet it was still on...and she was sat next to me on my right side...and I can't move my right arm because it feels trapped by something...or someone...

Turning on his flashlight his eyes widened in terror and embarrassment at the sight before him. Uraraka had also fallen asleep and she was leaning against Deku trapping his right arm between their bodies and her head was resting on his shoulder as she slept peacefully unaware of the embarrassing situation they were in or at least that Deku was in.

She looks so cute when she's sleeping

Deku slapped himself.

Don't think about that right now you idiot not while she's so close to you. See if you can wake her up and then you can both go to bed.

"Uraraka...hey Uraraka wake up" Deku whispered to no avail. Her slumber was undisturbed. He tried to move her so he could at least get up but as his free hand touched her shoulder she rolled over to her left throwing her right leg over both of Deku's and her right arm over his chest resting her hand on his left shoulder and her face turned to face Deku's neck so that he could feel her breathing on him.

What the fuck do I do now? This is so embarrassing Uraraka is cuddling me in her sleep. Is it wrong of me to not want her to move right now this is kind of nice but at the same time so unfair she doesn't even know she's doing this. I'm gonna have to wake her up or carry her to her room we can't stay like this what if somebody sees us? Oh god what if somebody already saw us while I've been asleep.

Ochako groaned and her body flinched a little but she remained in her deep sleep however Deku could never have prepared himself for what she said next.

"I can't believe I saw Deku in his room without a shirt on today... he's so well built..." She let out a small giggle in her sleep. Deku meanwhile had gone into shutdown at what he just heard. Sweat was pouring from his forehead his heart was racing and he was paralyzed in...in...fear? Excitement? The truth is he didn't know he was feeling all sorts of emotions right now.

When did she...oh you idiot Deku you left the door open and while you were busy mumbling to yourself trying to figure out where you left your clean shirt she must've walked in and seen you stood there exposed for the world to see! Then why did the door creak? She must've been trying to close it again and sneak back out without me noticing...wait that also means that when she was so red when I came out of my room it was because she saw me like that!

At this point Deku had had enough of sitting there not knowing what to do and being embarrassed by the adorable girl that had wrapped herself around him like her own personal human sized teddy bear. He reached for Uraraka's other leg and pulled it up onto his lap where she'd put the other blushing furiously at the thought of touching a girl in such an intimate place. He then manoeuvred his right arm out from it's cuddle trap and put it around the back of hear head so he could support it and stood up.

Wow she's really light I thought she might be heavier....don't ever mention that to her she'll kill you.

He carried Uraraka back up the stairs and to her room bridal style. On the way up to her room Ochako stirred every now and then but never awoke her arms still clinging to her human teddy bear. Deku set her down on her bed and gently pryed her arms off of him so as not to wake her. Finding some sticky notes he wrote out a message for her for when she woke up and stuck it to her forehead. He felt bad for doing so but this way he could guarantee she saw his note and with that he turned out the lights and headed to the door.

"Goodnight Uraraka. Sweet dreams"

*8:00am*

Uraraka awoke and to her surprise she woke up with something stuck to her face.

"That's weird" she said still not fully awake however she soon realised it was a sticky note. It read:

"Hey we both fell asleep on the sofa last night and I woke up around 5:30. Anyways I tried to wake you but no matter what I tried you were intent on sleeping so I carried you up to your room and put you back into bed"

Ochako sat there for a moment thinking about what she'd just read. If she didn't know any better it seems like the note was from Deku about last night...

OMG LAST NIGHT! I fell asleep on Deku's shoulder didn't I? I hope I didn't do anything embarrassing. I hope nobody saw us.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Ochako called.

"Hey it's me can I come in I really really really need to talk to you about something" Ashido called back.

"Ok gimme a sec" she climbed out of bed hiding the note first before opening the door but as soon as she unlocked it Ashido burst into her room slamming the door behind her and locking it again.

"Hey Ashido what gives?"

"So...you and Midoriya huh?" Ashido said with the world's biggest grin on her face.

"I don't know what you're talking about me and Deku aren't dati-" she was cut off by Ashido shoving a phone in her face with a picture of her and Deku asleep on the sofa together all cuddled up to one another.

"Well come on Uraraka spill gimme some juicy details" Ashido begged.

"I know what it looks like but I promise we aren't dating I haven't asked him out and last night was an accident neither of us could sleep and we bumped into each other downstairs and we drank milk and ate cookies together and we just both fell asleep I swear it's not that big of a deal" she insisted

Ashido studied her for a moment before finally speaking.

"Whatever you two are crushing hard on each other and you know it despite your denial but fine I'll drop it for now" she said before opening the door to leave.

"Oh just one thing though Uraraka. If you fell asleep on the sofa with Deku...how'd you get back into your bed?" She asked smirking at Uraraka who sat there dumbfounded at what she had just heard.

Is it really that obvious? Even though I hid the note...omg the note where is it? Wait don't tell me she...

Ashido stood in the doorway waving the note around in the air still smirking as if she'd won the lottery.

"When did you-" Ashido slammed the door causing Uraraka to quickly jump up and open it to chase after her but it was too late she was gone.

That bitch. She better not tell anyone.

Suddenly her phone started furiously vibrating at all the text alerts that were coming through. The group chat for the girls of class 1A was going crazy. Ashido had posted the picture and a picture of the note Deku had left her. Every single one of them were asking Uraraka any and every question you could think of. Embarrassed Uraraka simply typed "it was an accident nothing serious or romantic about it now pipe down all of you". She waited for someone to reply when Ashido wrote "Fine ok we'll stop asking questions but we're still gonna tease you a little about it". Uraraka could handle the occasional tease she was used to it. After all they did ask her straight up if she loved Deku and she floated around the room embarrassed and denying the whole thing rather unconvincingly but she'd gotten better at hiding it since then.

If she sends that to anyone else I'm gonna kill her. Anyway I guess I should see about doing something today. I wonder what Deku is doing....
