“Hah!?” What for is she panicking!? Being classmates, it’s not like it’s unusual for them to run into each other. “What, can I not be here!?” He was really just out for a walk, debating on going for some training or not when he ran into Ochako acting all weird all alone. 

A frown as he eyes the girl ( not missing the hands behind her back ), his own hands tugged away comfortably in his pockets instead. It’s not like it’s his business that she has been acting weird, but… “What are you hiding?” The question posed shows that he knows that she is hiding something, and to make his point clear, he takes a step closer to the girl, eyes glancing at her hands vanishing behind her back; then back to meeting her gaze. 

It’s partially curiosity and partially the feeling that he’s caught her red-handed. If someone tries so hard to hide something, then it must be something big, right? 

Ochako gulps, taking a step back as Bakugou takes a step forward. Ahhh, why did this have to happen! He’s definitely onto her!!

Thinking about it, the notepad she’s holding behind her back isn’t really all that incriminating. It’s not like she has a bright flashing sign saying “Surprise! Witches and magic are real!” ...But even so, the out-of-context list for spell ingredients found on the first page... at the very least, if he sees it, it’d make her look like a huge weirdo!

...Is that so bad, though? Really, she’s being paranoid. The importance of secrecy in the world of witchcraft has been drilled into her by now, and while part of her feels like everyone has the right to know about something so huge... she still fears getting in trouble for spilling her secrets - not to mention, afraid that something bad might happen to whoever finds out the truth. But there’s no way Bakugou would see her list and come to the conclusion that she’s a real witch.

Despite that, Ochako still looks this way and that, unable to meet Bakugou’s eyes - a forced smile plastered onto her face.

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about! No secrets here!! ...Anyway, it’s kind of embarrassing, so...”

[fateopposed]

“B-b-Bakugou-kun!?“

In a panic, Ochako whips her head around and shoves her hands behind her back as fast as she can. Her heart hammers in her chest, wildly out of control, and for a moment she has to remind herself to breathe. Of all people, why did it have to be him!!

She’s sure her classmates have caught her acting weirdly all week, but she’s managed to just about keep her head down and avert their suspicions so far. Today, it was finally seeming like things were starting to go back to normal... on the surface, at least. Of course, for Ochako, nothing will ever be normal again... but none of that stops the embarrassment and panic she feels as she realizes that she didn’t notice Bakugou’s arrival. She’s a failure! A failure as a witch!!

That thought still feels a little surreal to her. But after a moment, she thinks to herself - it’s not like he actually caught her doing anything, did he? All she was doing was reading. It should be fine. This situation is still salvageable!

...Now if only her unsettled nerves would agree.

“W-what are you doing here? I thought you were, umm, with Kirishima-kun, or one of the boys...”

since it’s almost halloween... LIKE THIS POST FOR A WITCH!OCHAKO STARTER!!

specifically, in this particular verse - even in a world full of quirks, people still don’t know that the supernatural exists. that included ochako - up until very recently, that is! turns out she was adopted, and her biological mother was a witch who passed her power down to ochako. now ochako’s discovered a whole supernatural world she didn’t know existed and is struggling to keep it a secret from her friends and teachers, all while still trying to become a hero...

I am strongly feeling the urge to write aizawa/kurogiri today... alas...............

  Himiko overlooked the city, seeing the people going about their ordinary business. She wondered whether or not they knew that they were restrained by society. Her legs dangled over the ledge, feeling no sense of danger. She had an acute sense of balance, so she knew she wouldn’t fall. 

 She wondered whether the cutie got her note. She had been very obvious. An anatomically correct heart made out of cherry gelatin with an address was pretty on the nose, and Himiko thought it was pretty cute! 

 The teenager was growing bored and impatient. She wanted to see Ocha-chan and try and convince her to run off with her. Sure she had her duties to Shiggy, but she could do those WHILE living in a cute apartment with Ochaco and cooking and cuddling. Maybe adopting a few animals, wearing matching outfits. 

 A blush spread over her face at the thought of it. They were meant to be together, why couldn’t she realize that? 

[fateopposed]

It’s difficult to say what it is exactly that drove Ochako to come here today. When she first saw the note that Himiko left her, she’s been more than a little disturbed. It was difficult to tell whether it was a threat or an innocent gesture - and it didn’t help that she didn’t know who it was from. The heart was... well, a little scary, but almost sweet in a strange way - though Ochako couldn’t stop the way her gut twisted as she read the address.

The handwriting was unfamiliar, and she didn’t think that anyone in her class would give her a note like that one... in the end, perhaps it was a sense of duty that made her come. No matter how irrational, she couldn’t help but fear that something terrible might happen if she didn’t show up...

Now, though, she’s beginning to regret not showing Aizawa-sensei the note. She’d been in such a state that she hadn’t even considered it...

But when Ochako spots Himiko Toga for the first time, her blood runs cold. Instantly, she drops into a position ready for battle, but her heart is racing as fear overtakes her entire body - and she can’t stop herself from crying out-

“Toga Himiko!? What... what are you doing here?”

[fateopposed]

"I was wrong about you." (ochako to himiko!)

Shadow & Bone ✦ @fateopposed ✦ Accepting

Cat-like eyes widened at the girl's words, before fangs were bared in a grin. "Oh, that's so good to hear, Ochako!" she remarked gleefully, clasping her hands at her chest. Took her long enough, geeze! "You finally came to your senses. So, you see things my way now? You better!" Friends were supposed to think the same way about things, right? So this only had to mean Ochako was truly her friend!

[fateopposed]

“No, no! That’s not what I meant!”

Panicking, Ochako frantically shakes her hands in protest, finding herself getting a little flustered. She always seems to end up this way whenever she’s dealing with Toga... but eventually, she gets herself back under control, swallowing once before speaking again.

“I still think that you hurting people is wrong. I can’t approve of that. But... I thought you didn’t care about anyone - and... now I think I was wrong. You care about your allies in the League... don’t you?”

Ochako finds herself becoming a little unsure of herself near the end. This girl, this villain, is so hard to read, and even now, she scares Ochako more than Ochako ever wants to admit. But she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it. The way Toga treats her allies, and the fact that Ochako has no idea why she does the things she does... no matter how hard she’s tried, she hasn’t been able to get it out of her head.

Maybe now, she’ll get the answers she’s looking for.

Whether it’s the inability to come up with a comment to discharge the awkward tension or just being merciful with saying nothing, the young villain only smiles when he hears Ochako laugh.

“Yeah,” he offers, just to show he’s listening.

Fortunately, everything seems to smooth up on its own, and the tour begins without any other weird hiccups. Talking about the school, something the other must know much better than conversing with an enemy, and thus feel more comfortable with, brings them on track again, and Izuku looks just as much grateful for this.

“The classrooms, please,” he exhales. But then, the program is brought up again— though in a different way, and he purses his lips for a moment before delivering an answer. “I… not really, no,” he shakes his head at the notion he would sign up for it himself. Villains and willful rehabilitation… that’s something more out of a comic book than real life. “You could say I slipped up and now I’m here.” Not very informative, he knows, but how much can he say? Nobody’s really given him any pointers or specific rules to follow.

“It doesn’t seem that bad though. This place, I mean.”

“Oh... I see.”

So he was forced into the programme. Pretty much, anyway. Does that mean that he doesn’t regret his actions as a villain at all? ...That thought makes Ochako uneasy, though she admittedly realizes that she doesn’t actually know what kind of things Izuku’s actually done.

In general, Izuku is just... not what she expected from a villain at all. He acts so friendly, but maybe that’s just because he has to act that way or he’ll get in trouble? That seems pretty likely - so then, why does Ochako feel so guilty for doubting him?

...Either way, she started this tour, so she can’t give up now. For a moment, she almost finds herself asking about Izuku’s actions as a villain, but she can’t bring herself to ask. Wouldn’t that be, like super awkward, anyway?

“Ahhh, yeah! It’s great!” Ochako replies, grateful for the chance to change the topic. “It’s hard work, and they don’t go easy on us, but all the teachers are really good!” she wouldn’t say they’re nice - thinking of Aizawa, there - but even he’s a teacher she really likes, too. “I’ve learned a lot since coming here.”

[fateopposed]

“Oh... hey, Deku-kun!”

For a moment, Ochako’s expression almost looks sad as she stands there, eyes downcast, not noticing Izuku’s presence. But in an instant, all of that is replaced by a friendly smile as she calls his name, even if it’s slightly more melancholic than it would usually be.

“Sorry I was distracted. I was just... thinking.” her gaze grows distant again just for a moment before it settles back on Izuku. At the very least, she’s glad to be able to spend time with him now, especially since it feels like it’s been an eternity since they’ve seen each other. So much has happened, and it’s all been so overwhelming... but now’s the time to be happy, right?

“How are you doing? It’s good to see you again!”

Okay!! I already owe quite a few starters + replies atm which I am going to work on soon, but just in case anyone wants one but hasn’t seen my previous starter calls - like this post for a starter with one of my primary muses, Ochako or Aizawa! I’ll still be working on threads with other characters - but starter calls for them will come at some point later. Thank you!

[fateopposed]

ALSO ALSO i really desperately want to write a “hit by a quirk” thread for aizawa… so like this post if you’d be interested in that as well!!

Though it disappears nearly as quickly as it showed, Izuku catches a glimpse of some sort of change in the girl’s expression. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what may be the cause, but he decides to leave it for now.

“Yeah, that would be nice,” he responds to Ochako’s inquiry instead, his lips still curved in that small, polite smile. “If you don’t have anything else to do right now, of course. I heard you’ve got lots of studying in your course.” That’s what his knowledge of the hero school consists of as of now: gossip and whatever he’s able to hear hanging around the campus. It’s another one of those perfectly understandable things; Izuku is still an unknown factor, a variable that remains to be found, so his interactions with the young heroes are limited to general studies classes. According to the homeroom teacher, he might be allowed to join more activities one day, but that’s still a vision of what seems like a distant future.

And that brings him back to the matter he pushed aside earlier on.

“I’m not going to bite you or anything, you know?” The villain says, not beating around the bush. “They, uh... turned off my quirk for the time being, to put it simply.”

“Oh!”

Ochako didn’t know that. But that makes a lot of sense, though Ochako wasn’t even aware that Quirks were something that could be turned off. More importantly, though... Izuku’s words mean that he did pick up on her hesitation, after all. She had hoped it wasn’t that obvious. The guilt she was already feeling in her gut seems to grow heavier inside her... but there’s no need to feel guilty, is there? He is a villain.

“Ahaha, that makes sense!” she laughs awkwardly, resisting the urge to apologize. If Izuku didn’t want people treating him with distrust, he shouldn’t have gone around hurting people! Though thinking about it... Ochako doesn’t really know what Izuku’s even done as a villain to begin with.

“It’s okay, I’m not busy. I’ll show you the classrooms, and then you can tell me where you want to go!” With that, she starts walking, though slowly enough that Izuku can follow her comfortably. After a moment, though... she’s unable to hold back her curiosity any longer.

“So, umm... how did you end up here, anyway? Did you sign up for the rehabilitation programme? Or did they, like, force you into it?”
