Ochako whipped her head around in horror as she heard Kirishima and Sato groaning in pain and Izuku hollering in agony.
It all happened so quickly. The boys had been rough housing with their quirkless friend while he was visiting Ochako at her dorm when Izuku showed the two hero students a video from a pre quirk era wrestling match, it was a triple threat where one beastly man held a smaller man up on his shoulders then threw him down into the announcer's table while a third man jumped inot the air and grabbed the second one’s neck and guided his face into the desk. The three boys decided to try the stunt, against the advice of Iida and Yaomomo, and promptly left Izuku with his tibia sticking out of his skin when Sato lost his balance and Kirishima misjudged where he was landing causing Izuku’s leg to be sandwiched between Kiri’s head and Sato’s hip.
The two hero students slowly moved to their feet and then looked down in terror at what they’d unintentionally done to Izuku.
“MIDORIYA!” They both screamed out, steadily taking the smaller boy into their arms.
“Midobro! We’re so sorry! We should’ve been more careful!”
“Yeah man! We didn’t mean to hurt you like this!”
“It- it’s okay guys! Just get me to Recovery Gir-”
“Dude, RG’s on vacation. We’ve gotta take you to the hospital,” Kaminari murmured, looking pale at the grisly sight.
Ochako was in tears. Izuku was such a sweet heart but he was also horrifically clumsy and often assumed he was stronger than he really was. He was already dealing with a broken hand from punching Tetsutetsu from Class 1B in the face during the sports festival.
“You’ll be okay baby, I promise!”
Izuku nodded and smiled at her. “With a big strong girl like you around, I’m sure I will be.”
Ochako nodded, smiling back at him even as the tears welled up in her eyes. Why did it seem like he was comforting her more than she was him?
There was a heavy sigh.
“Uraraka, cancel his gravity and take him outside. I’ll drive him to the emergency room,” Aizawa instructed.
“Yes sir,” she nodded, pressing her hand against Izuku’s chest as the boys responsible for his predicament carried him outside.
As Izuku was carried out to Aizawa’s car, Ochako couldn’t help but glance at her arm. She was pretty strong for a young woman and at 183 centimeters, she was easily the tallest girl in class. She wasn’t quite as jacked as Sato but she still gave a lot of the other boys a run for their money. Training with All Might to receive One For All had done a world of good for her, but if Izuku was going to need surgery and with Recovery Girl on leave for who knows how long, that would would mean he’d be out of commission for a while, moving on crutches or in a wheelchair would be fairly difficult. She’d already decided she was going to take care of him all the while, and she would do so gladly, but in order to do that, she’d need to be a lot bigger and a lot stronger for her beloved boyfriend.
Ochako cracked her neck.
Game on. She declared internally.
Izuku had been given a rude awakening. He knew deep down that he probably wasn’t built to mess around with the guys in the hero course. Quirks or no quirks, he was only 167 cm and barely 51 kilos soaking wet, and definitely shouldn’t have been messing around doing wrestling moves with two big guys like Kirishima and Sato. Izuku felt kind of bad worrying them like that. They meant no harm, they were all just having some fun, it was his idea to show them the clip of Randy, Batista, and Bryan in the first place.
He felt especially bad for Ochako, she’s been worried sick the entire time he’s been in this cast.
At least, they’d been doing some couple’s bonding together since then. Ochako had taken it upon herself to attend to Izuku’s every need and Izuku himself wanted to make sure he could carry his own weight once he was healthy again, so they’d taken to going to the gym together. After going at it for six months, they were both seeing some pretty good results. The doctors were saying that Izuku’s leg might actually be stronger after taking the cast off than it was before he had to put it on, he’d even put on a good four kilograms of muscle. It was impressive stuff, though nothing compared to Ochako’s transformation.
She’d started having a late growth spurt not long before Izuku’s injury and she rode that momentum all the way to sprouting up from 183 centimeters and 77 kilos to an awe inspiring 231 centimeters and 290 kilograms.
She was already fairly strong thanks to training her quirk which allowed her to both increase and decrease the mass of any given object including herself, letting her erase both gravity and give her superhuman strength on par with All Might, but now she was even bigger and more jacked than the Symbol of Peace ever was!
Izuku would be lying if he said he didn’t find it really attractive.
“Hey honey, I’m gonna call it a day and hit the showers.”
Ochako looked up from the bench where she’d been pressing a 365 kilo bar and smiled. “Okay babe, give me just a minute and I’ll be right there.”
Izuku chuckled. She’d been insistent on never leaving his side ever since the accident. He understood why and actually kind of appreciated it, but still didn’t see it as necessary, especially not when she was heavily involved with her own stuff. “It’s okay honey, I can make it on my own. I promise.”
“No, no, it’s fine babe. I’m more than happy to help you out. You’re hurt right now and you need someone to give you a helping hand sometimes, and what kind of hero would ignore a person in need? Especially the person they love the most?”
Izuku blushed when she said he was the person she loved the most. “Ochako, I promise, I can make it with my little scooter over to the showers just fine on my own.”
Ochako grunted as she set the bar back on the rack. “Well too late now, because I’m ready to go.”
Izuku shook his head but laughed. There was no getting through to her.
“Besides,” Ochako giggled, moving so that she and Izuku were seeing each other eye to eye. “I kind of wanted to take a shower with you anyway.”
She winked at him and Izuku blushed even harder. Well there was no way he could say no to that.
