Deku's dad headcanons ramble (MHA/BNHA)

Updating my brother on the manga (no spoilers here, don't worry) and I just thought:

What if Izuku's dad is just a normal guy, working hard in some foreign country, sending home money to his lovely wife and watching his son grow up through phone updates and such (he may or may not have been able to catch the sports festival live on TV or online if he's on a site cut off from the outside world)... just to turn on the TV and see HIS ONE CHILD fighting for his life in a LITERAL WAR, just GOING THROUGH THE MOST TRYING TO SAVE THE LITERAL WORLD.

Imagining this man stuck on like an oil rig or private island, some jobsite he can't physically leave, talking to Inko like "I heard when you said he suddenly got a quirk, when he got into UA (we knew it was his dream), being mentored by his idol, breaking up his bones, getting REPEATEDLY attacked by villains... AND NOW THIS?!"

Him on the phone with Inko watching the coverage of the (current) big fight in real time...

Then me and my brother spiraled into (this is mainly crack going forward):

Imagine Deku's dad finally getting back home after everything and just beating the fire out of everyone involved 🤣 Just a line of people getting the fatherly smackdown, starting with the withering skeleton that is All Might. "YOU PUT THIS ON MY SON!" And poor Izuku like "but Dad, I wanted this! I chose this!" Only for Mr. Midoriya to shout back, "You were FIFTEEN! HE'S THE ADULT, he should've known better!"

We imagined Bakugou's dad trying to calm him down, only for him to catch smoke for Katsuki bullying Izuku when they were kids until Mitsuki steps in trying to smooth things over by admitting she's the majority reason her son was such a terrible person...

Enji approaches trying to use his stature (and possibly the fact of Mr. Midoriya's absence) to get him to cool off only for Mr. Midoriya whirl on him, "OH, I heard about YOU. I may have been absent but at least my son didn't become a STRAIGHT UP VILLAIN!"

O.O I just remembered this man breathes fire😆😆😆 Full on daddy dragon rage only quenched by Inko and Izuku's gushing waterfall level tears.

I wanted to draw a drunk Connor, but as always it turned out as a comic. XD

My drawing style changed a little bit as you see, it’s a tiny bit smoother.

I Miss Him, Too [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Markus, Leo Manfred

Video Game: Detroit: Become Human

Genre: Comfort (for emotional hurt)

Summary: Leo finds Markus grieving and doesn't leave him by himself.

Word Count: 408

Prompt 8. Grief/Mourning

Leo paused at the bedroom door to confirm it was actually sniffling he was hearing. He rapped a knuckle on the wood. "Markus?"

It was quiet for a moment.

"Are you ok in there? I'm coming in if you don't answer." He was met with silence. Leo carefully turned the knob, listening still for any word. Nothing. He peeked inside.

The room was dark and cold. Leo could see the silhouette of Markus sitting up on the side of the bed with his head down. He had his hands pressed together against his lips.

Leo carefully approached him, sitting on the bed.

Markus' voice was soft. “He’s really gone…”

"I miss him, too," Leo said softly. "I know I wasn't the best son for a time and I'm glad he had you. He really did care for you, Markus.”

“He… he made me what I am. He's the reason I was able to-”

“Change the world as we know it?” Leo chuckled. “Not the legacy he thought he'd leave, that's for sure. But…” He looked down at his hands, clasped over his knees. “He was proud of you."

Markus sighed, pressing his face into his hands. 

Leo made a face, twisting his wrist in his hand subconsciously. “I was wrong to be jealous of you back then, when it was my own fault. I'm glad we were able to make up before he passed… I was lucky to, all things considered.”

Markus looked over at him. “He never stopped caring about you, Leo, even if he didn't do the greatest job of showing it at times.”

Leo looked down. “It still doesn't feel real some days, you know? Like… I wake up and have to remind myself he's not here anymore and it hurts all over again. Even though we made up, there's still all this… regret.”

“The ‘what-if’s’, the wishes,” Markus agreed. “The why…”

They sat in silence after that, each in their own thoughts but appreciative of the other's presence.

Sometimes Leo preferred when he forgot, and other times he forced himself to remember. He wondered how it was for Markus, who literally couldn't forget, even if he wanted to. Or maybe he could delete the memory, like a computer file. Leo knew the deviant leader better than that, though. Markus would never let himself forget. 

So he couldn't either. 

Even if that was the easy way out.

Especially because that was the easy way out.

Flashbacks and Motivation [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Markus, Female Human OC (Freisha), Female Android OC (Lana)

Video Game: Detroit: Become Human

Genre: Comfort (with a light dash of angst)

Summary: A failed assignment reminds Freisha of the tragic loss that made her start android tech studies. Flashbacks turn into a new nightmare that has her calling Markus to calm down.

Word Count: 796

Prompt 28. Flashbacks and a 14. Late night phone call

“I can fix it! I can fix him!”

Freisha hadn't slept well in weeks. Her android biotech lessons had been going fine up until one failed exam. One crossed wire had ceased all functionality of a crucial biocomponent. No operational android had been damaged but she couldn't get the mistake out of her head. 

(Flashback)

“Lana! Lana! I'll call someone! You'll be-”

The AP700, her only friend in the world, rested a hand on her arm with a sad smile. “No time, Freisha. Shutdown in less than a minute.”

Freisha’s chest caved. “Lana, no. Please! I can find you a new one. I'll get you back online!”

Lana shook her head. “Thank you, Freisha. You're the best friend an android could dream of having. You always made me feel… alive.”

 “Lana!”

( flashback end)

Sleep was sacrificed for studying. One would think that the series of A’s and A+’s and extra credit she earned following that would've settled her down. Or the fact that she could now wire that particular biocomponent with her eyes closed, along with a number of others.

Perfectionism would beg to differ.

The mind was a dangerous thing when you let it run as it pleased.

(flashback)

Lana gave Freisha a questioning look as she slipped from the blue blood pouch. “Do I want to know where you got these from?”

She was met with a mischievous grin. “Nope. You're too nice. You'll tell everyone about my spot then I'll have to find a new one.” 

Lana frowned, resting the bag in her lap. “I really don't want you getting in trouble again, Freisha…”

“It's my choice.” She plopped down on the floor beside her. “Besides, you need it more.”

Lana leaned over, resting her head softly on her human friend's. They both knew this was temporary with no true fix in sight. 

(end flashback)

Both Connor and Markus were concerned about the young tech in training. Everyone she worked under spoke highly of skills, android and human alike. 

Yet still she never seemed fully receptive of praise, due or otherwise.

(Dream)

The LED spun a violent, flashing red.

“Come on, Markus, come on…”

The flashing slowed, and then stopped.

“What else is there?!” She yelled in frustration, fingers flying over the keyboard.

The red bled from the LED and didn't light up again.

“No. No no no, not again! Please, Markus, please!”

The LED stayed gray. There were no sparks. No lights. No signs of… 

“NO!”

(dream end)

Her eyes flew open as she woke up in tears, chest painfully tight. The nightmares were changing. The theme was the same, but the android before her had changed. She swallowed, patting around the mattress for her phone. It was ringing in her ear before she knew who she'd dialed.

“Freisha?” Markus’ tone was polite and concerned, as if she hadn't interrupted his rest cycle. 

A fresh tear trailed down her cheek.

“What's the matter?” He asked after not getting a response.

She blinked. “Are you-” she cleared her throat and tried again. “Your um, replacement parts. How- Are they, um-”

“My eye, ear, and both legs are fully functional and not causing any problems,” he assured her calmly. 

She nodded, letting out a few heavy breaths. “That's- good. Good. I'm glad.”

“Are all your parts functioning normally?” He asked.

That earned a shaky chuckle. “For the most part, yeah. Just some software instability that's my own fault. I'll fix it.”

His tone softened to gentle. She could imagine his expression as he spoke. “Let us help. You've been stressing for a long time. We don't want you to self-destruct.”

“I promise I won't. You don't have to worry about that.” She relaxed back into bed, pulling the soft blanket over her head.

“Too late for that.” The voice was equal parts smiling and warning. “I'm sending Connor over for a wellness check in the morning.”

“Markus-”

“Good night, Freisha. Please do try to sleep well.”

The silence after he hung up gave way to the sound of her fan blowing air at her ceiling. She had half a mind to text Connor that he didn't need to come but knew that would only get him to her door faster. She smiled helplessly as she put her phone on charge, turning on an audio of Markus' piano playing to fill the room and her mind. 

She focused on that, pushing away the darker thoughts in favour of a memory of him playing, lithe fingers precise on the keys of a grand piano. Every attempt her mind made to drift was combatted by her actively seeking to fill in details of the memory. The colour of his shirt, the lighting in the room, if his eyes were open or closed.

Eventually, the calming music drifted away as she fell into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: Markus speaks to Freisha like she's a deviant even though she's human. It helps reset her mind in the moment.

Come Splash With Me! [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Ashido Mina and Kirishima Eijiro (Platonic)

Manga/Anime: Boku No Hero Academia/My Hero Academia

Genre: Comfort (but more fluff, I think)

Summary: Mina invites Kirishima to splash in the rain with her, just like when they were little.

Word Count: 774

Prompts: Started on 25. Rain with a sprinkle of 6. Sick with (childhood) 26. Friends

Kirishima slowly woke up to the pleasant sound of rain pattering on the roof. His curtain danced with the wind. He checked the time. "Oh, shoot! Mina!" She was supposed to be coming over for them to hang out.

He hopped out of bed, pulling on a tank top and giving his place a quick sweep. It wasn't spotless, but tidy enough for him not to feel self-conscious. He had snacks she liked and drinks in the fridge and even tea and coffee if she wanted something warm instead. 

Carefree laughter pulled his attention to the window. Kirishima peeked outside to see none other than Mina, splashing around in some small puddles in his front yard. She was wearing a clear plastic raincoat and knee-high rainboots, having the time of her life. It reminded him of when they were little, how Mina kick-started their friendship.

(Flashback)

Little Mina pulled on the dark-haired boy, who tumbled after her in his yellow rain boots. "The puddles are fun, you'll see!" 

She did a big jump, sending water droplets out in a circle. “Come splash with me!”

The boy’s pointy teeth showed with his cautious and curious expression as he pulled his hood over his head. Bright red eyes watch the fluffy-haired girl with matching pink skin stomping about with her big grin. Light rain was drizzling all around them, sunlight glistening about and making Mina's front yard sparkle. She had invited him over after school - out of nowhere, to him - and here he found himself. 

“Eijiro, come on!” Mina called out to him from the middle of a small puddle. Her raincoat was buttoned up but her hood was down, though the rain seemed to have no effect on her hair. It was like she didn't feel the rain at all, solely focused on the water gathered at her feet.

He gingerly tapped his foot in a circle of water in front of him on the pathway leading to the house. The water jumped and rippled outwards. A harder tap made a happier sound, and he looked for a bigger puddle. 

One foot, step. Other foot, tap. Splish, plop, splosh, sploosh.

A big smile spread across his face when he jumped into his biggest puddle yet, making water splash more like his new friend’s. “Mina, look!”

Mina splashed her way over, her joy only growing as Eijiro got more comfortable with the activity. “It's fun, right?”

He gave her a big nod. "Really fun! How have I never done this before?" He jumped again.

Mina was upset to see that Eijiro wasn't at school the next day. She went over to his house.

Eijiro’s dad answered. “Hello, Mina. I'm sorry, Eiji can't come out to play today. He's not feeling well.”

“He's sick?” Mina frowned. “What happened to him?”

“Nothing serious, I think he just got a head cold from getting wet yesterday.”

Mina’s eyes widened. “It's my fault…” she sniffled. “I made Eiji come outside with me…”

Mr. Kirishima ruffled her hair lightly. “It's ok, Mina. Don't worry. Tell you what. You can come see him but be very careful. I'll give you a mask.”

Mina nodded as she came in, putting on the mask before coming inside. 

Eijiro was on the couch, covered up to his chin with a blanket. He looked tired but perked up when he saw her. “Mina!”

She ran up, eyes wide and sad. “I'm sorry, Eijiro! I didn't mean to get you sick!”

“You didn't make me sick, Mina.” His voice was a bit weak, softer than normal. “Dad said it's because I got wet in the rain yesterday. I caught a cold…”

Mina patted his forehead, brushing away his bangs. “I like when my mommy does this when I'm sick.”

Eijiro closed his eyes. “It feels really nice.”

“Do you think you can come to school tomorrow?” 

He frowned lightly. “I hope so…”

Mina looked around for a moment. Eijiro’s dad was busy in the kitchen. She pulled her mask down and gave Eijiro a bright smile. “My mommy says if you can smile while you're sick, you’ll get better faster. Can you smile?”

He looked at her for a moment, blinking. He used his fingers to push up the corners of his mouth, giggling when Mina laughed at him. “I'll try to smile lots and lots!”

(End Flashback)

Mina looked up to lock eyes with him through the window, giving a big wave. Her hair was uncovered, just like back then. “Come splash around with me, Riot!”

He laughed, running out the door. “My immune system’s way manlier now, so you won't have to take care of me this time!”

"I love you, Daddy" [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Touya Todoroki x Black Female OC (Machelle) and their blasian babies (Maya and Champion) Manga/Anime: Boku No Hero Academia/My Hero Academia Genre: Comfort (more fluff, I feel) Summary: Touya's kids tell him they love him. He's still not used to it. Word Count: 359

Prompt: Loved Ones

Touya and Machelle were sitting in bed watching TV, both sitting up against the headboard, legs under the blankets. He looked up at a knock on their open door. In peaked their youngest, bright blue eyes under a full head of bouncing white curls.

“What's up, Champ?”

The little one lingered in the doorway for a moment before clambering up onto their bed, crawling in between the two. He braced on their thighs, leaning up and kissing his dad on his scarred cheek. “I love you,” he said plainly before turning to his mom and kissing her cheek. “And I love you.” 

Champion was climbing and off the bed before Machelle could get out her coo. 

“We love you, too, baby!” She called as he left.

The two parents looked at each other for a moment, Machelle's grin growing wider as she poked her husband's cheek above the stitches.

“You're blushing~” she sang teasingly.

Touya refused to look in her direction. “He's too young to be acting cute to get something… right?”

“Some humans do just express affection for affection’s sake, you know.” Machelle leaned onto his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his. 

They turned their attention back to the TV, although neither was really hearing what was going on anymore.

It was maybe half an hour later. Their daughter didn't even knock, only giving the courtesy of waiting until a commercial break. She walked around to her father's side of the bed first, gracing his other cheek with a kiss. “I love you, Daddy.” She sprinted around to her mother's side, where the woman leaned over for her cheek kiss. Maya gave her a loud one. “Mwah! I love you, Mama.”

“I love you, too, Maya. And Daddy does as well.”

Maya shrugged, glancing at her still-processing father. “I know. He just isn't good at responding if he doesn't say it first. Bye!” She slipped out the door with a wave.

Touya had his fingers on his cheeks, brushing over the ghost of his children's kisses. “They're planning something.”

Machelle gave him a look, taking a mental picture. “They love you.”

“That doesn't mean they're not planning something
