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.

[This is incredible. If Deku grabbed her hands like this before they arrived in this place, Ochako knows that her heart would have stopped; now, however, holding hands with him almost feels the same as holding hands with Tsuyu, or with Mina, or with any other close friend: it's... comfortable.

Hmm. She blinks down at him for a moment, feeling her cheeks begin to cool as she realizes that this doesn't feel awkward, either. Something has definitely changed in their friendship, but change isn't a bad thing. Change can, in fact, be a very, very good thing, and that's certainly what this feels like.]

...Thank you, Deku-kun. [Her voice is quiet, but hey, now she's smiling again.] I'm happy, too.

[About Okuyasu, obviously, and also about this. How can she put that into words, though? She pauses for a moment, considering this, before abruptly pulling her hands out of Deku's— and throwing her arms around his neck. Is this the best angle for a hug? Well, no, but she's determined to make this work!!]

And I'm really, really glad that we're friends!

[Sudden hug attack! A startled laugh escapes him as he catches Ochako and holds her close before they both fall over onto the floor. Hearing that she's happy is all that really matters to him in the end.]

I'm really glad we're friends, too. [It seems like forever ago that they met outside of UA's gates--two students hoping to pass the exam and find their place in the school's hero course. And yet, it hasn't even been a year, has it?

Izuku smiles, letting his head rest against hers.] Did you know that you were the first friend I ever made?

[There's Bakugou, of course. Even if things are still rocky between them, Izuku still counted him as a friend all those years ago--though they'd started off hanging out because they lived so close to one another. Ochako, though... she's the first friend he's really made on his own.]
