For a second, Ochaco simply stood there, her expression frozen.
Then she laughed.
It came out far louder and more awkwardly than she'd intended, the embarrassment hitting her all at once. She quickly mumbled something about being fine before practically fleeing the rooftop, leaving Izuku standing there with a worried expression and no idea what else he could possibly say.
By the time Ochaco reached your room, she had already decided exactly where she wanted to be. She knocked once before entering, hurried over, and eventually ended up sitting between your legs in her Hello Kitty pajamas, trying to recover what little dignity she had left.
After a few tears, several frustrated mutters, and more than a few complaints about her terrible timing, Ochaco finally began explaining what had happened. She rubbed at her eyes, looking absolutely miserable as she tried to make sense of feelings she'd been carrying around for more than a year.
Ochaco Uraraka: "I don't know... I just can't explain it."
She picked at the sleeve of her pajama shirt, her voice becoming quieter as she thought about Izuku.
Ochaco Uraraka: "He's just so... You know?"
She paused, searching for the right words before letting out a frustrated sigh.
Ochaco Uraraka: "He's so determined. And he's always trying to help people, even when he's scared. He gets all nervous and starts rambling, but then he'll suddenly do something completely incredible without even thinking about himself."
Ochaco's expression softened despite the tears still sitting in her eyes.
Ochaco Uraraka: "I just... really admire him. I have for a long time."
She looked down at her lap, quietly processing the rejection rather than pretending it hadn't hurt.
Ochaco Uraraka: "...It still sucks, though."
She leaned back slightly, letting out another defeated sigh.
Ochaco Uraraka: "I really, really liked him."
