[While he might not realize her deeper feelings for him Izuku is so grateful for her in his life. She's been one of the reasons he's gotten as far as he has. From day one she's been supportive and there for him more than anyone else. He'll never forget how it was thanks to her that he was even able to pass the entrance exams. She's important to him and while they are stuck in this strange fantasy world learning magic, owning familiars, fighting orcs, and learning to zap things... He really does want her to be happy. He wants to work with her, learn with her, tell her all kinds of things. He wants to tell her about South Sister when the time is right and about... well.. everything else.

She's cute too, he's always thought that. Even cuter when she smiles or laughs or snorts through her nose the way she does when she's trying not to laugh. He's always been charmed by her, even if he was a nervous idiot way back when.

The dancing is enough, being able to bounce and sweep around and for a little while just forget all the things he's been through to just spend time with a close friend... It's enough. His cheeks flare naturally, him almost breaking eye contact for it but he manages to not let his nerves catch up with him this time.]

I- I hope so. [He's trying really hard lately to accept compliments better!] I just wanted her to have a good experience, to see that everything can be good, that she deserves that too. Yeah. We all did great that night...

[He smiles, looking shy.]

But- You're the one who's better at these sorts of things than I am. You're already leading...! I still have a lot to learn. [He smiles again!!] I'm having fun! Should I start calling you, Uraraka-sensei?
