I don't think it's silly, Uraraka-san. [He's been listening attentively the whole time, barely saying a word, though the way his expression softens is enough to show just what he thinks of the whole thing. Izuku had already known that Okuyasu cared for and appreciated his friend after seeing the sunflower and the poem. What Ochako's telling him now only cements it.

Izuku slips out of the chair and moves until he can crouch down in front of her and pull her hands away from her face. It's kind of incredible, if he thinks about it. Just a few months ago, he would have been too shy with her to even think about touching her so casually like this. Some of the things they've gone through together in this town were tough, to say the least, but if there's one thing he's grateful for, it's the new sense of familiarity he feels with his friends now.]

I feel the same about Iida-kun and Yaoyorozu-san, so I understand. You wanted to let Nijimura-kun know how you felt before you lost the chance--and you did! Your feelings got through to him, even though the town was messing around with you both.

[Smiling gently at her, Izuku shifts so that he's holding her hands in his.] I'm really happy for you, Uraraka-san.
