making it right (for real this time) by ladyofsnails

Summary: Deku, who he’d dreamed of being a hero with when they were kids. Deku, who was quirkless and crushed that dream. Deku, who was told he was useless every day of his life and yet never gave up. Deku, who always strove to achieve his dreams despite the fact that Katsuki was so sure he couldn’t, and who pissed Katsuki off because of it.

Deku, who he’d only stopped being mad at after he gave up on that dream. After the world and Katsuki broke him down.

Deku, who forgave him even before he apologized. Who he didn’t deserve.

Deku, who was probably more heroic than Katsuki ever was.

Fuck. What had he done?

Izuku is a support course student at UA, and Katsuki's neighbor, best friend, and former bullying victim. After Izuku's performance at the sports festival, Katsuki realizes something. He has to make things right.

Do You Know Midoriya, From The Support Course? by theamandarogers

Summary: “Looks like you got hit with Cupid’s arrow,” Sero chimes from his seat.

“You could say that,” Kirishima says with a sheepish smile.

“SPILL!” Mina and Denki shout at the same time, lunging forward to place their hands on his desk, getting in his personal space to urge him on.

“Hmm, ok well.. do you know Midoriya, from the Support Course?”

That seems to get everyone’s attention, even if it was said in a slightly hushed tone to his friends directly in front of him.

He suddenly feels like a piece of meat, floating in the middle of a school of piranhas. All eyes and attention suddenly focused on the spiky red head.

Fuck, but he's hot though by Gruffgami

Summary: Izuku was ready for just about anything. He was prepared - emotionally, physically, spiritually, All Mightily - for just about anything but a brash, aggressive, annoying, thoughtful, kind and sometimes...flustered Bakugo Katsuki.

— — —

“Icyhot got you first?” Katsuki gaped at him, “Fucking hipster edge-lord has had you working on his costume – of course, you made those temperature bombs? Sharing his quirk is genius, so of course it wasn’t his idea. I can’t believe he didn’t-“

“Kacchan,” Izuku scolded, voice close to fond. And then it all halted abruptly. He hadn’t meant to – thought he had better control, thought he was going to be able to keep the past out of it all, “…uh.”

And it was only when his eyes flicked back to Katsuki that he realised the other man was blushing again.

They both half-started sentences, fumbling.

Thankfully, Katsuki got his shit together faster than Izuku.

Support class by silverynight

Summary: Izuku is quite happy in support class; when he was a child and found out he was quirkless he thought he wasn't going to be able to enter UA. Now he's in support class and if he's being honest, he absolutely loves it; he's really excited whenever someone comes to him or sends their suits to the lab for Izuku to repair them or improve them.

The only problem is that his childhood friend, Bakugo Katsuki, goes to that school too (he's in a hero course) and they didn't part on good terms. Katsuki started to be mean to Izuku in front of his other friends, but at the same time got upset when Izuku decided not to speak to him anymore.

However, Bakugo doesn't visit the lab often and when he does, Izuku is conveniently elsewhere. Besides, they say he usually goes there to complain about his suit.

The Sports Hero: Deku

A Quirkless hero/hero-in-training Izuku Midoriya idea where he has a gimmick with his equipment that relies on being underestimated and the element of surprise.

In this prompt, Midoriya took up a fascination with pre-Quirk era sports and inventing to go with his hobby of studying people's Quirks to cope with his own Quirklessness. Eventually, Midoriya starts developing hero equipment that looks like ordinary sports equipment. Things like baseball-shaped grenades (regular, net, ice, etc.), vibrating fencing saber to enhance cutting and piercing power, a whistle that can work like Present Mic or Jiro's Quirks, strength-enhancing goalie gloves, etc.

Since Izuku is also interested in sports, he might be in better physical condition than canon through practice. Meaning if you still want to give One For All to him, he'll be better prepared for it.

Along with his Class 1-A friends, you could even have Midoriya become friends with the members of the Support Department since he may spend a lot of time in their lab to develop his equipment and trade ideas with the rest of them.

Your support desk Bakugo is then starting to try finding your socials based on your name from the company email/credentials you give him. He probably tries to play it off and convince himself it's just to know who he's talking to next time he picks up for your stupid questions but gets annoyed when your credentials don't match your socials/different names (like you use a middle name/ nickname everywhere else or something).

He finds himself asking more about the conference from his coworkers. Strictly for information, no other reason of course

omgggg he ABSOLUTELY tries to play it off to himself as just wanting to know who he's talking to for the next time you call LOL he finds your instagram but it's private so he's taking a screenshot and then zooming in to try and see your face 😌 he remembers the number from your department and every time he sees it come up, he's snatching the phone up so fast skfhdjakqk and then he's trying to be so cool 😔 so slick 😔 asking deku about conference like it's not the FIRST TIME he's ever given a shit about sitting at the booth and handing out cups altheusjqk LMAOOO i want to bite him CHOMP CHOMP

It was a regular day for the trauma dipped kids as they were sitting in the living room of class 1-As dorm just chilling out with some watching a series on the TV, some writing down some notes in his new notebook while Todoroki was making some cold soba for lunch, uraraka watching TV with Hakeeguri, Sero,Tsu, Momo.

Uraraka was trying to catch Dekus attention, but was failing miserably😞 and Tsu and Momo could see it unfortunately it was no use when it comes to him and that notebook😔, he's just too concentrated, that was until you walked into the dorms with your fine self with natural makeup on wearing a yellow super low cut hoodie top along with a couple chains and some baggy black sweatpants and grey J4s.

Everyones attention shifted to you👀 and not that your sports bra was slightly peaking out of cropped hoodie,but that:

1)you were one of the new transfer student from America for the Support department that everyone has been talking about for the past 3 weeks.

2)You were black and you don't see that many black people in Japan in general.

3) Bakugou was walking towards you and gave you a hand shake meaning you knew each other on a personal level.

Everytime he catches himself staring at your black beauty✨ he has to manually scrub his face and push his jaw away to look at the ceiling or something cause baby girl you were fine😩👌. "Hey dumbass, you brought what I asked for or did you just what to show off the shoes I bought you?" Bakugou started while analysing your outfit, "Does it really look like I would even step on this goody to shoes hero area if it wasn't for you asking for it", you sassed back.

Everyone was still in shock that you of all people were mutual friends with the Katsuki Bakugou aka The explosive tempered blonde kid in class 1-A aka the kid the won the Sports festival aka Dynamite aka Lord Explosion Murder aka I think you get the point.

"Wait a minute can we rewind back a bit here !?", Sero shouts with a suprised and confused expression that matched with most of the students in the lounge, "What you want flex tape?!", the blonde glared in the direction of the Hispanic sitting on the couch along with you turning as well.

You had violet doe eyes that so cute and adorable yet intemidating, " I just wanted to know who this chica was?", He smirked towards your direction trying to holla at you do matched his energy, "Yeah Bakugou why don't you introduce me to everyone and maybe give me his number", you turned to the blonde for him to just roll his eyes, " Chubs meet Flex tape" he groaned in irritation and you just gave him a look through your glasses.

"Hola los nombres Y/n L/n", you walked towards Sero and he shock your hand with a big impressed smile and the kissed it, "Hi the name's Y/n L/n," you translated for everyone whilst smiling, "El nombre es niña Sero", "the name is Sero baby girl 😉", Sero winked at you his hand coressing your hand in which you winked at his charm.

However everyone interrupted the moment by introducing theirselves, and you tried to make a mental note to try and remember all of them, but when it got to Deku you couldn't hold back your gasp which caught everyones attention, even though you were the centre of it to begin with 😌✨.

"So your the same Deku that literally blasted himself in the race last year but somehow Bakugou keeps talking shit about?", you questioned with a raised eyebrow in which he shyly nodded.

"What is wrong with you?!", turned to the blonde you were surprised by the shy broccoli boy, " "The Fuck?!", He glared to your direction.

"You made him seem like such a stuck up asshole", you playfully glared at the man beside you only for him to look down at your chubby self and just pull your arm to the hallway shouting to the class that their time with you was up even though there were some protest whines and complaints.

"Wow, you really want me all to your self huh?"😉 You winked at him as you went to his room but he just rolled his eyes at your flirting charm even though he like it since it always built tension that he found adorable.

Obviously he wouldn't ever say that in front of you, but he thought it'll be better that way.

You sat on his bed and opened your bag to pull out two thick silver bracelets, " the hell are those", Bakugou observed the two massive silver bands in your small hands you roll your eyes 🙄 and sighed heavily at his bluntness.

Like how can someone so smart be so damn stupid and good looking at the same time🧐.

Its what you asked for Blondes you stepped closer you put them on his wrists but he took a step back hesitantly as if an insured wolf protecting himself from further harm. "It's okay, I just need to make sure the bracelets will fit properly and if it'll need adjustments", speaking softly as to calm his nerves and you clipped the bracelets onto his wrists with his gaze on you as if making sure you don't do anything out of the question.

Whilst finishing with his right hand you brush your fingers against his skin to adjust the bracelets to not be too tight or lose and the blonde was blushing hard at the gentle care when you touch his scars and burns from his experiences and training but as well as your concentrated form only reaching up to his chest.

Before you can lift your hands from his wrists he grabs your arm taking you by suprise and you look up at him to only find him staring right back at your amethyst eyes when you into his ruby ones and just like that he tries to let go yet he still wants to have you this close to him and he wants to be vulnerable with you since your the only other person who gets his apart from kirishima. He likes you more then he wants to but he doesn't want to experience the pain of a lose again nor does he want to lose the opportunity to make you his but doesn't want to destroy your amazing friendship, but then a sudden warmth surrounds his chest and abdomen.

Your hugging him seriously hugging him out of nowhere and then your face is buried in his chest and he huggs you back with his chin resting on top of your head where he inhales the shea butter and coconut oil from the chemicals put in it. He really wanted to confess but he pulled away quickly with him covering his blushing face but not his ears.

In which you giggled at his soft side that you were so grateful that you were able to see, but a continuous beeping sound that activated the bracelets meaning that it was working perfectly fine and that it has been switched on. So... um th-they work so I did my work perfectly as expected" you awarkardly try to regain your confidence again but failed with the maroon blush on your face as you tried to shuffle out of the room but a strong arm pulled you back to have you facing Bakugou with his eyes fixed on you.

He knew he wasn't your type, and that he wasn't worthy of you, but he would be damned that he doesn't give it a try even if he loses you for admitting this disease to you, "Bakugou?", Your voice called to him confused at his actions, "I like you Y/n, since the day we were partnered together for this damn project and we started to spend time together we really made a connection and I know that you don't feel the same way, but I had to get it off my chest even if you will never think of me in that wa-

[faulty-writes]

Could you please do a follow up to that one story with the super flustered Iida? The one where reader worked in support and knew he was in love with her? Maybe the follow up includes him finally confessing

[ I hope you mean this one dear @mommyfw3nd requested because that's the one I'm going with! I'm sure they won't mind me tagging them since this request is a continuation of the request they requested. Anyways, this was fun to write. ]

"I don't care, it has to be done! It's obvious how he feels about Y/n!" Ashido said, ignoring the fact that Uraraka was clinging to the back of her shirt to prevent her from marching down the hall to Tenya's room. Uraraka pleaded, "B-but you can't force him to admit his feelings for Y/n!"

Izuku nodded and walked in front of Ashido to block her. "I...I agree, Iida is...well it's difficult to..." he glanced away, scratching his cheek. There were so many thoughts in his head, and deciding the right course of action in this situation was tricky.

"I think...maybe if he c-could be put in t-the right situation with Y/n that would h-help" he explained. "Well, how can we get that to happen?" Ashido asked with her arms crossed. Uraraka sighed in relief and let go of Ashido's shirt, before tapping her lips in thought.

It was challenging to match Tenya's intellect, let alone help him be with the one he clearly loved. "What if we tried to set them up on a date but don't tell them it's a date?" she suggested, feeling shy when her friends looked at her.

"A date!?" Ashido exclaimed, but her smile faded seconds later. "How will we convince Tenya to go on a date but not date, with Y/n?" she asked. "Maybe Deku and I could ask Iida to hang out and convince him to invite Y/n to come along, then from there we can get them alone," she explained.

"That always works in the movies, and I don't think Iida could refuse, right Deku?!" she asked, looking at him with a smile. "I...I don't know if t-that's the best idea, I um..." he rubbed the back of his head, glancing at the ceiling.

"Oh, come on!" Uraraka said, approaching him. "It'll be fun!" she exclaimed before Ashido pointed her finger at his face. "We will help Iida whether you like it or not! He and Y/n deserve to be together!" she proclaimed, crossing her arms again.

"Besides, they spent the whole day together in the park before!" she shouted before pressing her hands against her chest. "And Iida came home lovestruck!" A soft flush tinted her cheeks as she sighed contentedly. "That's the kind of magic we need to recreate, but this time with a little PUSH!" she shouted with a grin.

"But how are we going to get Y/n to come? They're always so busy with their work?" Uraraka replied. "Hmm..." Ashido grasped her chin, tapping it lightly with her finger. "Maybe we can get Hatsume to convince them," she suggested, making Izuku and Uraraka flinch.

"Hm, what's the matter with you two?" she asked with her hands on her hips. "N-nothing!" Izuku replied, holding his hands up. "It's just..." He paused, how could he explain that he was terrified to see Mei considering the many incidents that have occurred in her presence?

Izuku nodded in agreement when Uraraka remarked, "Hatsume is just a lot to handle!" Ashido rolled her eyes. "I don't care!" She said, pointing at them. "This is for Iida! Talk to Hatsume and tell her that Iida is interested in hanging out with Y/n and you guys...and convince Iida to ask them out or whatever!" she explained.

Gritting her teeth, she pointed to herself. "I'll choose the restaurant," she said. "B-but..." Izuku sighed, there was no point in arguing with Ashido and maybe she was right, if Tenya needed their help, they had to do this.

Izuku turned when Uraraka laid a comforting hand on his back and smiled. "We'll go together," she said, but his uneasiness didn't change. The walk to the support department's first-year dormitory wasn't that long, but when he saw Mei outside, he froze.

She had a table set up with several tools and metal pieces across it. He couldn't determine whether she was fixing or inventing something. "Uh, H-Hatsume," he said, trying to ignore Uraraka's hands grasping onto his shoulders.

She popped her head up, leering at him with an unsettling smile that he had long ago learned to fear. "Uh, w-we need your help," he uttered, and in the blink of an eye, Mei invaded his personal space making him cry out in response.

"What do you mean, Deku?!" she exclaimed excitedly and glanced at Uraraka who couldn't help but feel jealous, something she usually dealt with whenever the pink-haired girl got too close to Izuku. "Look," she said, stepping in front of him.

"You're close with Y/n right?" she said, leering at the other female with determination sparkling in her eyes. "Hmmmm?" Mei responded, tapping her cheek. "Yeah, what do they need!?" she asked, trying to remember if you had warned her anything was amiss.

Then again, the two of you were so busy with your support careers that you barely had time to talk lately. "Huh, oh well uh..." Uraraka's confident expression dropped, and she looked over her shoulder at Izuku, silently pleading for help.

"Hatsume," Izuku said walking past Uraraka. His hands hung at his sides, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself and find the courage to continue speaking. 'This is for Iida,' with that thought, he locked eyes with Mei.

"You need to convince Y/n that Iida is interested in hanging out with them! W-We'll be there too!" he said, gesturing to himself and Uraraka. Mei knit her eyebrows. "Hm, nah not interested in doing that!" she said, turning her back on the two.

"What!?" they screamed in unison. "B-but you have to," Uraraka urged with clenched fists. "Hm?" Mei paused and looked over her shoulder. "You messed with Iida before, you owe him this much. He likes Y/n a lot!" she shouted angrily, not caring who heard her.

"Uh...Ochako..." Izuku said, hesitantly reaching out for her. Mei frowned and turned her head forward. "You know I really need to work on my babies today!" she said, placing a hand on her hip. Uraraka stepped forward, prepared to yell again.

"But I'll see if I can squeeze talking to Y/n in between my work," she replied and resumed working on her gadget. "Mm..." Uraraka turned to Izuku, clearly unhappy. He smiled sympathetically. "I'm s-sure she won't let us d-down," he said before walking toward their dormitory.

"Now all we need to do is convince Iida," Uraraka nodded. "Right!" she cried out, raising her fist in the air. This was unexpected. You leaned up from the table to look at her with wide eyes. "What?" you replied in disbelief. Mei shrugged.

"Don't know, that's just what they told me to say to you. So, what do you think!?" Unlike most, you weren't bothered by her leaning over and invading your personal space as she normally did. Of course, since you were her closest friend, you were used to it.

You glanced away and tapped your chin. You couldn't imagine Tenya finding the courage to ask you to hang out. You suspected that his friends were asking you for him, which was disappointing, especially after the time you spent in the park with him.

You chuckled at the memory. He was so willing to try your inventions. When the day ended and the two of you were covered in sweat as the sun set, you recalled looking into his eyes. There was so much confidence and love in them, and you thought he would confess but...no.

He politely asked if he could "provide assistance" and "aid" you in cleaning up your workspace. While you appreciated the help, you still expected some kind of confession when he walked you to the door of your dormitory building. But alas, he only gave you a heartfelt goodnight and left.

You frowned and turned away from Mei. "Should I?" you asked, seemingly dissatisfied. "I know Iida likes me, but he hasn't made a move yet." You sighed and propped your elbow onto the table, resting your hand underneath your chin.

"Now his friends are involved," you weren't sure how to feel about that. "I don't want anything to happen between us unless it's natural but..." you looked back at the pink-haired girl. "How long do I have to wait, scratch that. How long should I wait for him to make a move by himself?" you asked.

"Hm...don't know!" she said, turning around. "I have to get back to my babies now!" she declared, but you reached out and grabbed her arm. "I could use some help, you know!" you hissed, annoyed. She paused and looked back at you.

"Romance isn't my thing," she replied, shrugging. "But if you want to create something, you gotta take action!" You knit your eyebrows. 'Take action huh?' That advice was actually...helpful but how could you put it to practical use?

"Pardon?" Tenya asked, curiously looking at his friends. "It's just, we thought it'd be fun to go out together, and since you and Y/n seem so close lately we thought you could ask them to come along," Uraraka explained, and Izuku nodded.

"Uh yeah...I mean, y-you don't mind asking Y/n, right Iida?" His expression became blank, and he grasped his chin. "Well, I..." he paused. Yes, he knew very well and accepted that he had feelings for you. But was this the correct way to establish a romantic relationship?

He almost detested the way his stomach twisted into knots at the very idea of asking you to join him and his friends in a simple social interaction activity. "I am uncertain as to what their presented reaction will be when I inquire about requesting their companionship on this social activity," he explained.

Naturally, his friends were confused by his words and exchanged glances before Uraraka ruffled the back of her head, nervously laughing. "Well, um..." Izuku stepped forward. "I...I don't think you n-need to worry about that Iida!" he declared, determination coating his words.

Izuku's courageous heart was quite mesmerizing, but it also served as a painful reminder of what he lacked. How could he keep up with someone who was true hero material while he stumbled with this very simple issue or one that should be simple?

"Y/n is nice and even though...t-they're always busy with their work, they m-make time for others and I know they'll make time for you," Tenya's eyes widened and he looked away, subtly tapping his chin. "Perhaps you are correct," he replied.

"Very well, I will request Y/n to join us in this social bonding activity!" he exclaimed, rapidly chopping his hand through the air. Izuku chuckled, relieved, while Uraraka smiled and cheered Tenya on. "I will make it a priority to ask them promptly in the morning before classes begin," he said, smiling at his friends.

"Mmhm," Uraraka replied before leaning closer to Izuku. "Do you think he'll be alright?" she asked. "I'm s-sure it'll be fine!" he replied. "Besides...Iida...w-well if he really likes Y/n then he...he w-wouldn't leave until they accept," and boy did he hope you would.

Tenya made his way to the Development Studio the following morning after spending extra time ensuring he looked presentable in his Yuuei uniform. "Excuse me!" he declared, making you jump unexpectedly. You were working on yet another support item and while you hated being interrupted, you turned to face him.

After thinking over what Mei said, you concluded that she was right. If you knew that Tenya liked you, then you should act, maybe even manipulate situations just as you manipulated parts and bits to make your inventions work to get him to confess.

"Hi...Iida," you said, waving half-heartedly. "Apologies," he said, placing one hand on his chest and bowing. "I do hope I am not interrupting, but I wished to inquire about something," you blinked, and for a split second felt hope.

Was this it, was he going to ask you out or rather to hang out? "Oh yeah?" you replied, leaning toward him, and trying to contain your excitement. "Yes, I..." He cleared his throat, trying to ignore the nervous feeling that made his stomach twist.

He took a deep breath, raising his hand in the air. "I wish to invite you to spend an evening with me and the provided company of my friends," and although you already knew his friends were going to be there, you couldn't help but frown.

Then again, they could be there for support like Mei was there for you. There was also the possibility the two of you could find yourselves alone at any given point during the evening. "Hm..." You tapped your lips, thinking about it. "Okay," you said, crossing your arms.

"I'll go out with you and your friends," you muttered. "Pardon?" Tenya replied, leaning closer to better hear your response. "Nothing, nothing!" you exclaimed, waving him away, and while he found the gesture somewhat rude, he leaned back.

"Very well," he replied. "I believe my friends wish for this to occur on Saturday," he stated. "Does this otherwise conflict with your schedule? If so, I am more than certain-" You held your hand up. "That's fine Iida, really," you replied.

Confusion washed over his features for a few seconds before he nodded. "I guess I'll see you then," you said, returning to your table. "I believe it's customary to arrive at a person's house when an activity is scheduled," his words made you pause.

"What?" you replied, and he cleared his throat. "Forgive me," he said. "I merely wanted to establish that I insist on escorting you to the scheduled activity." Did he mean he would pick you up? You took a deep breath, sighing.

Well, that was something people did on dates, but you weren't sure if he fully understood that. "Okay, sounds good Iida," you said, slightly disappointed but grateful nonetheless. He sensed your uncertainty but ignored it for now.

After all, it was quite understandable to feel uneasy around those you were merely acquainted with and perhaps you were experiencing a bit of anxiety in anticipation of what was to come. "Thank you," he said, walking away. A strange warmth filled his chest. Perhaps this was another reminder that he loved you.

As promised when Saturday came, Tenya was waiting on the doorstep of your dormitory building. "Hm? Who are those for?" you asked, pointing to the bouquet of roses he was holding. He stepped forward, holding it out for you.

"I took the liberty to conduct research regarding the proper protocol and acceptable gifts to present to the one you admire when requesting their time at a social event such as spending the evening with them" he explained, and you raised your eyebrows.

'Admire?' You thought, placing your hands on your hips. "I believe these were the most acceptable to present to you in relation to this social activity we will be participating in," he explained, making you sigh. "So...you're saying you're giving me roses because we're going on a..." you paused, unsure if you wanted to use the word "date."

It might confuse him more and if his friends were also attending, then how much of a "date" could it be? You shook your head, reminding yourself to make the best of this. After all, you were still spending time with Tenya and something was bound to happen by the end of the night or at least you hoped.

"Um, nevermind," you said, taking the roses from him. You smiled and sniffed them, enjoying their floral scent. "Thanks," you then noticed the outfit he was wearing. It consisted of a blue suit with a white button-up shirt and a dark blue tie to match. His shoes, as expected, looked polished and new.

His hair was also slicked back, making him look older but still attractive and his glasses were absent from his face. "Heh," you smiled, catching Tenya's attention. He noticed you staring at him and felt the slightest bit of heat color his cheeks.

"I...I do hope I look rather presentable," he said, trying to hide his nervousness. You nodded. "Yeah, you look handsome," he appeared taken aback by your compliment. "Uh..." was he really confused? "Not used to being complimented I take it?" He sensed your teasing tone and frowned.

"Perhaps not," he replied, pressing a hand against his chest. "However, I believe it's natural to thank one for their kind words," he said, bowing. "Thank you very much," he leaned back up and offered you, his hand. "Shall we depart?" His tender smile made your stomach flutter with butterflies.

The clinking of glass was heard in the distance and soft chatter surrounded you. The restaurant atmosphere was calm, and the dimmed lighting contributed to it. The savory scent of food lingered in the air, making your mouth water.

"Uh so..." you propped your arms onto the table, catching Tenya's attention. He sat across from you and Izuku was next to him while Uraraka was next to you. "Did you guys choose this restaurant?" You might as well start a conversation or try to.

"Hm?" Izuku perked up and looked at Tenya, almost as if he expected him to answer but he didn't. "Mina suggested we come here," Uraraka replied, smiling. "Mina?" you asked, trying to recall what she looked like or if you had made any support gear for her.

"Yeah, she's one of our classmates," Uraraka said, making you scratch your head. Why would a classmate suggest this restaurant? "Oh, well I'm sure she's nice," you replied. "Excuse me," Tenya interjected, making all three of your heads turn.

"It's rather rude to put one's hands, elbows, or arms on the table when in polite company," you raised your eyebrow and looked at Uraraka who smiled sympathetically. "Wow Iida," you said, pulling your hands into your lap.

Your fingers curled into your thighs, eager to feel metal and tool handles. Yes, you could be creating more support items right now but as most would argue, it was good for you to get out. The bouquet Tenya gave you lay on the floor by your chair.

"Uh hey! Why don't we order some appetizers?!" Uraraka suggested, nervously laughing as she picked up the menu. "Y-yeah, that sounds like a good i-idea!" Izuku agreed nervously. "Hmm..." You glanced at Tenya. "I suppose that would be beneficial," he stated, taking a sip from his glass of water.

"I'm fine with whatever," you replied, shrugging your shoulders and turning your head to glance across the room. There was a small dancefloor, and one couple circled around with their arms entangled around one another.

Uraraka noticed you staring off into the distance. "Hm?" she closed the menu and leaned over the table, trying to gauge what you were looking at. "Do you want to dance?" she asked, leaning over to place her hand on your shoulder.

"Hm?" you shook your head, turning in your seat. "No, it's alright, uh..." You paused when you noticed her frown. Did you make her angry? "Iida," she said. "Yes?" he responded, lowering his menu to give her his full attention.

"Do you wanna dance with Y/n?" she asked. "Huh!? Hey, wait a minute-" You protested, but Tenya spoke over you. "I was not aware dancing was permitted in this establishment," he replied before looking at you.

"Well, that settles it!" Uraraka declared. "What settles what?" you asked. "Deku and I can order the appetizers and Iida and Y/n can dance," she insisted with a bright smile. "Uh, Ochako is that-" Izuku trembled when she fiercely glared at him.

You raised your eyebrows as you stood looking at Tenya bewildered. Did his friends always act like this? You shook your head and turned to Uraraka, prepared to yell but Tenya spoke yet again. "Do you wish to dance Y/n?" you froze. "Uh, w-what?" you replied.

Honestly, you were surprised he asked that, although this could be your chance to manipulate the situation. Something had to make him confess. "I believe dancing is considered an appropriate activity to engage in during social activities and I would be honored if you wished to-" You held your hand up.

"Okay," you said before running your hand through your hair. "I mean...I guess a dance wouldn't hurt," you replied with a sheepish smile. "Very well," he said, pushing his chair in and walking around the table. "Are you certain you can order the appetizers correctly?" Uraraka nodded.

"Now go dance!" she urged. Tenya smiled and offered his hand to you. "Hm? Oh right," you chuckled and took the said offered hand. He guided you to the small dance floor and turned to face you. "Please ensure you have a secure grip on my hand and place your non-dominate hand on my shoulder," he instructed.

"Okay Iida," you replied, almost rolling your eyes but doing as he wanted. "Pardon my touch," he said prior to laying his hand on your hip, looking a tad nervous. Although in the dim light of the dance floor, his slightly flushed cheeks were hidden.

You smiled as he took the lead and circled the two of you around. The light music drifting through the air put you at ease and your eyes focused forward. Tenya looked content if unfamiliar with dancing and you couldn't help but once again think about how handsome he was.

The thought of having him to yourself for a moment made you excited. Now, what was the easiest way to get someone to admit they liked you? One idea came to mind, but you wondered if it was too forward. Then again, you could just initiate it and see what happened.

He liked you, so he would surely comply. You locked eyes with him and leaned forward with your lips slightly out, indicating you wanted a kiss. "Hm?" He tilted his head, and although you couldn't tell, his heart beat faster than ever before.

His mind turned blank, it was obvious what you were silently conveying to him. He swallowed hard and paused, contemplating how to engage in a kiss. Yes, it seemed simple, but he had not bothered with romance, and pursuing you seemed to present a challenge.

He could blame himself for that. He seemed to yet have the courage to confess his feelings of affection toward you, and he wondered if this was the best time. Well, maybe there was no right or wrong time to engage in a heartfelt confession.

He glanced at your lips and slowly leaned forward only to pause, and second guess himself. He then leaned back. "Pardon," he said releasing his hold on you. "I believe it would be best if we returned to the table," so he could sort out the thoughts in his head.

"Huh?" you replied, feeling embarrassed for your actions and angry that Tenya didn't reciprocate them. 'What just happened?' You thought, standing still. "Are you well?" Tenya asked, noting your strange reaction.

You hummed in response. "Do you require some form of assistance?" he asked more sternly, and you shook your head. "No...nothing," you replied, feeling defeated. You walked past him and toward the table. Once there, you slumped in your seat.

The delightful scent of the appetizers that now lay on the table did nothing to brighten your sour mood. "Hm, did something happen?" Uraraka questioned worriedly. You glared at her in response and once again the thought that you could be working on support items instead of doing this came to mind.

You curled your hands in your lap. Maybe it was your fault for expecting something to happen. Have you been misreading Tenya this whole time? Was it possible that he wasn't as into you as you thought? Either way, you've been pushed past your limits.

"I'm afraid I concluded our dance early," Tenya explained, taking his seat. "Y-you what?" Uraraka replied, and you weren't sure if she was concerned or worried or both. "It doesn't matter," you said, sliding your chair back. "Sorry Ochako," you looked across the table.

"Sorry Midoriya, but I think I'm going to call it a night," You ignored the shock on everyone's faces and reached for the flower bouquet on the floor. Tenya immediately stood up, "Y/n I insist you-" he was taken aback when you shoved said flowers into his chest.

"Thank you for these, but I don't think I need them," your words were cold, and you ignored the look of hurt on Tenya's face. Yeah, maybe you were acting childish, and maybe you let your own expectations cloud your sense of judgment.

But it was too late now. You walked away from the table intent on leaving as promised. The bouquet slipped from Tenya's fingers, and he frantically shot his arm out. "I insist you wait!" he cried after you, but you ignored him and continued walking.

What a fool you were for thinking he would admit his feelings and yet deep down you knew it was your fault. You couldn't force something to happen, despite what Mei said. Feelings were entirely different from creating something physical.

You couldn't force him to do anything if he wasn't ready and honestly, it hurt. Maybe you should focus on your inventions from now on. "Oh no..." Uraraka turned to Izuku, desperation and worry written across her features.

"We have to do something!" she insisted. There was no way she could let this night be ruined. "Hold on Iida!" she said, grasping his arm. "I'll talk to them!" He frowned, believing it would be most beneficial if he handled the situation as he felt it was caused by his own fault.

But perhaps it would be helpful if you spoke to someone else first as there was a chance he'd only escalate the situation. "Very well," he replied reluctantly and Uraraka nodded, immediately chasing you. "Y/n!" she called, but like Tenya you ignored her. "Hey!" she hissed, picking up the pace to scurry in front of you.

"Hold on!" she exclaimed with her hands up. You stumbled to a stop and placed your hand on your hip. "Yes?" you replied, clearly annoyed. She frowned. "What's going on? Did something happen between you and Tenya?" she asked, too innocently for your liking.

You appreciated her concern, but you couldn't tell her everything. Could you? Well, if your intuition was incorrect there was no reason to keep it a secret anymore. You crossed your arms, glancing away. "I just thought...maybe Iida liked me..." you said, your voice hushed.

You sighed. "I thought he asked me to spend the evening with him and you guys, to tell me how he felt," you explained with your hand on your forehead. "But maybe I was wrong? It's hard to believe that," you said rolling your eyes.

"You weren't wrong!" she urged, stepping closer. "Hm?" You looked at her in disbelief and lowered your hand from your forehead. "Uh Iida," Izuku said, but Tenya's attention was focused on you and Uraraka. He did not wish for you to leave, and yet he did not want to force you to stay either.

"Uh um..." Izuku twiddled his thumbs together. "Mina told us that...t-that you liked Y/n," Tenya's eyes widened and he glanced at Izuku with his lips slightly parted. "Is...that true?" he asked, curling his hands into fists.

He knew he shouldn't have gotten carried away, but what Ashido said made sense. Tenya frowned, glancing at the floor. "I am afraid I..." He paused, and his throat tightened. "I cannot...gather the courage to admit such a thing to them," he replied shamefully.

Izuku looked at him with wide eyes, his heart yearning to help somehow. "Well..." he glanced away, thinking over his words carefully. "I think...it's m-more important to show...someone y-you care through your actions..." he suggested.

Tenya frowned, "I....I believe they wished to..." he paused, feeling his stomach twist into knots. "I am uncertain if I can perform the actions they desire accurately," he explained, and Izuku mirrored his frown. "Um...well,'' he scratched his head, trying to think of how to convince Tenya to gather courage.

"Heroes don't ask for fans," he said. After all, he didn't ask to be a fan of All Might. "They show the world w-what they can do, and w-why they should be a fan of them in...in the first place." Tenya raised his eyebrows at those words.

"Forgive me, perhaps I was acting rather foolish. I should not be afraid to express my feelings of affection even in the face of rejection," he stated, proudly chopping his hand through the air. Izuku smiled, silently cheering Tenya on when he walked toward you and Uraraka.

"Are you sure about that?" you asked but grew distracted seconds later. "Hm?" You leaned over, looking past Uraraka to see Tenya approaching. "Huh?" she blinked and turned to see what caught your attention.

Panic washed over her when she saw Tenya and turned back to you with her hands clenched into fists. "He's coming!" she exclaimed, although you didn't need her to state something so obvious. You flinched when she laid her hands on your arm.

"Do you trust me!?" she asked frantically, and you knit your eyebrows. "Uh yes, but what are you-" Your words stopped when she pressed all five of her fingers against you and activated her quirk. You trembled in response, feeling an odd warmth radiate through your body.

A knot tightened in your stomach when the floor underneath your feet disappeared. "Ochako!" you yelled, holding your hand out to her as you ascended further into the air, but she smiled. "Iida will save you!" she called back.

Tenya stopped suddenly, watching you float helplessly through the air. His head snapped toward Uraraka and his engines fired up in the panic of the moment. "Kindly explain what happened this instance!" he demanded chopping his hand through the air.

"I'm sorry Iida! I guess my quirk kind of slipped," she lied, rubbing the back of her head. A growl rumbled in his throat, although he highly doubted that Uraraka was the type to lose control of her quirk. He stepped closer to her. "Pardon!" he said, roughly grabbing her shoulders.

"If you do not deactivate your quirk, Y/n is reliable to injure themselves if they impact the ceiling!" He urged, and Uraraka while surprised turned her head to look at you. Many people in the restaurant were pointing at you, and some even tried to reach out to you.

You felt so nauseous you were likely to throw up. As you looked at the floor and the people spectating you, your body trembled. If there was one thing you hated, it was heights, and the lack of solid ground beneath your feet only made it worse.

'What am I supposed to do!? I didn't bring any support gear! Damn it!' You leaned forward, grasping your head, and your eyes watered. 'I didn't bring anything, what is wrong with me!?' You squeezed your eyes shut, allowing tears to fall.

Tenya clenched his jaw, tensing up as he watched you drift further and further away. He looked back at Uraraka and leaned over, pulling his pants legs up to his knees. He leaned back up and pressed one hand to his chest and extended the other out to her.

"I insist you use your quirk on me," he pleaded, knowing there was no time to lose. "I am most certain I will be able to properly control the anti-gravity atmosphere associated with it and ensure Y/n remains uninjured," he stated, somewhat suspicious as to why Uraraka smiled in return.

"You got it Iida!" she declared, brushing her fingertips across his palm. Much like the first time he experienced the effects of her quirk, his stomach twisted, and he tried to adjust his body as it lifted off the floor. He turned midair, trying to focus his eyes on you.

The way you curled into yourself made his heart sink and guilt washed over him. He was responsible for allowing this to happen, and he needed to be honest with himself and his feelings toward you. He stretched his arms out, replicating a swimming movement to get closer to you.

A soft rumble sounded when he activated his quirk. This helped propel him forward, but he kept in mind to control his speed to ensure he wouldn't collide with you. You heard the distinct sound of his engines and slowly lifted your head.

Tears still flowed down your cheeks, but you wiped them away, clearing your vision just enough to see him reaching out for you. However, you recoiled in anger and tried to kick him. He instantly pulled his hands back and angled his legs so he could hover just above you.

"Please remain calm," he instructed, but you shook your head in frustration. Why was he trying to save you? Why did he chase you? "Are you injured?" he asked. "Do I look injured?!" you snapped, your voice broken.

"I can't do this anymore!" like before you curled into yourself, somewhat accepting your fate that you'd either plummet to the floor or be stuck against the ceiling forever. Tenya frowned, trying to ignore the small flashes of light from the bystanders below.

He should have expected such behavior, but that wasn't his main concern at the moment. Once again, he activated his quirk, closing the gap between you. "I...I apologize," he said, slipping his hand through your hair.

He anticipated you jerking your head back, refusing his comfort even though his only wish was to de-escalate your anxiety. Instead, you remained still, and he waited until your sobs were barely audible to wrap his arms around you.

He hesitantly pulled you close, hoping to be your source of comfort. Perhaps there was one thing that would ease you. It was foolish and irresponsible, but it was also overdue, and he was willing to accept the consequences it would bring.

"I insist you look at me," he stated, reaching over to grasp your chin and guide your head up. You resisted for a moment, feeling your heart race. You hated heights and you'd certainly be having a word with Uraraka after this. "Iida..." you hissed out, digging your fingers into his suit.

"I understand you are scared, but I...I wish to do something to ease your fears," he replied, leaning close. You knit your eyebrows together. "What?" you replied, doubting that anything but the sweet touch of the solid ground underneath your feet would do the trick.

"Close your eyes," he insisted, and while you wanted to argue, his tone was stern. "Mm..." You sank your teeth into your bottom lip but closed your eyes despite the fact that you didn't know how this would help. Tenya pulled his hand away from your chin and caressed your cheek.

"Forgive me, I believe this may be too forward but I..." you noticed his hesitation and peeked one eye open. He looked uncertain. "Perhaps I should have confessed this earlier," your eyebrows raised, and although your heart continued to beat fast, a new joyful melody coursed through it.

"I...I was certain of what you were attempting to convey earlier. However, I found myself absent of the courage to give you what you desired," you opened both eyes, looking at him stunned. Wait...he was afraid to kiss you?

You hadn't anticipated a hero student being afraid of anything. For a moment, you forgot that you were helplessly floating upward with nothing to grab onto. Instead, you were coming to the realization that you may have set your expectations too high.

Even Tenya wasn't immune to the fears that were associated with romance. "W-wait so you knew I wanted to..." you trailed off, closing your eyes and seconds later, a sigh passed your lips. He frowned. "I...did," he said, remembering Izuku's words.

"But I believe that actions speak more than words, so allow me to show you the words and feelings I have been holding back," he said. However, he was feeling the tiniest bit nauseous because of Uraraka's quirk, and the butterflies that formed the closer he leaned toward you didn't help.

Your eyes widened. Could this be...was he really confessing? You smiled and slowly lowered your eyelids. All you were focused on was Tenya's lips pressing against your own and felt a pleasurable and long-awaited tremble course through you.

His lips were soft, and you could faintly taste spearmint on them. The soft coos from below fell deaf to your ears and the flashes from several phones were ignored. Young hero students making a scene and kissing in a restaurant were bound to make an excellent social media story.

But Yuuei couldn't expect their students to not cause trouble or fall in love, right? You curled your fingers tighter into his suit and leaned forward causing the two of you to float askew through the air. Tenya's body stiffened in response, and just as before he hesitated, uncertain of what to do next.

However, he felt his stomach drop and quickly realized the two of you were descending. "And slowly release!'' Uraraka muttered to herself, trying to channel her quirk the best she could so you wouldn't plummet back down. "Hm?" you broke the kiss, feeling relief wash over you the closer you got to solid ground again.

As soon as your feet touched the floor, a soft round of applause came. You stumbled while trying to adjust to the gravity change. Uraraka smiled, happy that everything worked out...sort of. She placed her hands behind her back and looked at Izuku who nervously returned her smile.

"Um..." you realized your hands were still curled into Tenya's suit and pulled back, giving a nervous laugh. "Thanks for...you know," you said, shyly glancing away. "Hm?" He blinked, looking perplexed before nodding.

"Yes, I'm...I'm quite happy to have...assisted you in such a manner," he replied, chopping his hand through the air with pink-tinted cheeks. You smiled, took a deep breath, and noticed your lips tingled. Likely the aftereffect of the kiss you shared with him.

"Heh, so...do you want to return to the table?" you asked. After all, you were the one that kind of ran away from it and Tenya deserved a good night out. He looked at you with a kind smile, and nodded, extending his hand out for you to take which you happily did.

He then guided you to the table and pulled your chair out for you. The rest of the night went fine, and you got to know his friends a little better and learned more about the hero department. It was interesting to hear about Tenya's classmates, some of whom you made support items for.

When the night ended, much like before, Tenya insisted that he walk you to the door of your dormitory building. The only difference was that you stole a kiss before bidding him goodbye. The following Monday, Tenya requested that he walk you to Yuuei.

You gladly accepted, even though you didn't need him to. "You could have just told me that you liked me from the start you know," you teased, walking past the front gates with him. "I am aware of that," he replied, making you chuckle. "Even if you were scared," you added.

"I am aware," he repeated, slightly annoyed. "Well, it's still sweet of you to offer to walk with me" he nodded, although he had an alternative motive for walking you to class and that was to ensure no paparazzi or members of the media disturbed you.

Given the pictures and or videos others took of the two of you at the restaurant it was slightly astounding and suspicious that no one had bothered the two of you during your walk as was the lack of paparazzi outside the gates of Yuuei. "But," you came to a stop and turned to face him.

"I promised Hatsume I'd do something for her. So sorry if you also wanted to walk me to class, but I gotta go," you said, walking up to him and laying your hands on his chest before leaning onto your tippy toes to peck his lips.

"I'll see you later," you said, trying to suppress your chuckle when he turned away to hide his obviously flushed face. He cleared his throat. "Uh, y-yes!" he replied, raising his hand. "I do hope you have a wonderful day!" he cried out, chopping said hand through the air.

"Mmhm," you said, walking away with a smile. He pressed a hand to his chest, feeling the rapid and uneasy pace of his heart. Then a sudden thought occurred, and he shouted "P-please halt!" causing you to stop in your tracks and look back at him.

He ran up to you, tugging at the collar of his uniform before nervously uttering the words, "I...I love you." He knew that perhaps it was too soon to speak such words, but he would never allow fear to prevent him from expressing his love for you or anyone again.

As soon as you recovered from the shock, you giggled. "I love you too," you replied, smiling before walking into the school. Yeah, it felt good to know he finally confessed even though it took a while. But if things went according to plan, you and Tenya would have a very happy relationship.

[artzychic27]

I'd like to see some more MHA stuff.

Well, I do have one au where Izuku is basically Cruella DeVil, and one where he’s Regina George but with green hair

Izuku DeVil

Izuku remains quirkless, but he has the personality and fashion sense of the villain, Cruella DeVil, and enrolls in Yuuei’s Support Course design department

He’s WAY more confident when dealing with his bullies back at Aldera middle school, and on top of that, the left half of his hair is white and the right half is green

Even when Izuku didn’t get his quirk, his confidence never wavered. He just took one look at a quirkist, snapped his fingers and said, “You don’t exist to me.”

Inko ADORES her son, and will always take him shopping whenever he asks

Hisashi is still around, yay! And no, he didn’t cry when his precious three-year-old son critiqued his fashion choices

With her position as his official aunt, Mitsuki often brought Izuku with her to her small but successful fashion house so he could help her critique and fix any errors in the clothes made by the young designers. The designers were not at all expecting a four year old in a Gucci suit sipping apple juice out of a fancy glass to give them fashion advice

When it was announced that Izuku was quirkless at five years old, that only scared Katsuki. Because all this time, Izuku eccentricity and natural flashiness wasn’t powered by some dormant quirk. And he’s terrified to see how it’ll progress as he gets older

Izuku does this with his outfits, a lot⬇️

He carries around a riding crop to emphasize all of his points

No one knows how he pulls off his dramatic entrances in such a secure school. When Aizawa was introducing him to class 1A as the new designer for their hero uniforms, he descended from the ceiling using an aerial acrobatics ribbon

Class 1A is also scared of him

Izuku: You all will become my personal projects.

Class 1A: …

Mina: Is it too late to run?

He adopted Neito and Shinsou on the spot. Neito shares his love of fashion, and he just kidnapped Shinsou and gave him a complete makeover. And that how friendship works

Those two are his Horace and Jasper, and help him with all of his schemes

Kyouka sings the Cruella DeVil sing every time he walks by

No one’s figured out why, but whenever Izuku sees a Dalmatian, he just stops and stares at it. His eye twitches and his hands look as if they’re trying to grab something. All it takes is a firm hand on his shoulder to snap him out of it, but no one’s quite sure why that happens

When the dorms are implemented, Izuku’s dorm gives his classmates some Gothic Victorian/Hell Hall vibes. The room is painted black with some hints of green, there’s a chaise lounge in the corner, a small canopy bed with curtains, an armoire filled with fur coats, and a sewing station with all of his materials

Katsuki often hides in the vents when Izuku is having… A moment. He urges his classmates to do the same, but they haven’t known Izuku long enough. So, they end up becoming his live mannequins

Whenever they cross paths, Izuku and Shouto just look at each other and nod. Many suspect it’s due to their similar hairstyles

Pony Tsuntori once pointed at him and screamed, “Oh my God! It’s Cruella!”

Shouto is up to his conspiracy theories again and suspects that Cruella De Vil is a quirk. Because, if people can have quirks based on animals, why can Izuku have a quirk based on a Disney villain?

Knowing his similarities to Cruella De Vil, people are terrified of the day Izuku gets his drivers license

When they watched the Cruella movie during movie night, Class 1A wondered if Izuku has a tragic backstory like the title character

The day Tooru brought a Dalmatian pup into the dorm, Katsuki flipped out

Katsuki: Why did you bring that here?! You know how Deku gets around Dalmatians! He will turn it into a fur coat!

Sero: Relax, Kats. Izuku won’t even realize it’s here.

Ochako: Besides. He’s in the 1H dorm right now.

Izuku: *From inside the dorm* I sense a familiar canine presence!

Class 1A: …

Katsuki: … HIDE THE DAMN DOG!

Mean Boy Deku

When Izuku is five and announced quirkless by his bitch pediatrician, he just rolls his eyes and goes back to sketching out some outfit ideas for his mother, saying, “Okay, and?”

Idiot: And, having no quirk means-

Izuku: Means a death sentence. I know. I can read newspapers, Tsubasa. I learned what an ignoramus was last week, and I’m sitting before a big one right now.

Inko: *Snickering*

When it’s announced by the teacher that Izuku is quirkless, the kids all want nothing to do with Izuku, and honestly, he’s fine with that. It shows who his real friends are… Which is no one, apparently. Even Katsuki is avoiding him

Izuku refused to hold his tongue. So, when the teacher tries to reprimand him for literally nothing he just says,

Izuku: Here are the five things wrong with your outfit. The sweater gives you a uniboob, that watch is too gaudy, the pencil skirt, those tacky flats, and that necklace is a desperate cry for attention. I’ll escort myself to time out, thank you.

Hisashi is a good dad in this one, too! Yay!

Izuku’s always had a bit of a mean streak, and no one is safe. Not his teacher, and especially not his classmates. He made his principal cry

When Izuku gets his first cell phone, he creates an Instagram account where he critiques the outfits of pro heroes. And one thing’s for sure, he’s extremely mean about it. But, he does gain quite a large following

At age ten, Izuku discovers the Pre-Quirk era movie, Mean Girls. He is enraptured by how Regina George and her fellow Plastics cause the other students such misery. His favorite scenes are those that involve the Burn Book

And, after a particularly bad day at school, Izuku storms into his room and pulls out a green binder he never used, along with a yearbook from last year. He cuts out a photo Tsubasa, and glues it to the first page, then writes, “Tsubasa is a moronic little brat who won’t shut his bitch mouth, and can’t do basic math to save his life.” He doesn’t stop until everyone in his class has a page

That’s Burn Book #1. In it, contained not only Izuku’s rants about the students and teachers at that sorry excuse for a school but also some secrets he’s sure they wouldn’t want to get out. What a shame that would be…

Izuku only gets more creative with his insults as he gets over, and has made about twelve students cry in one week

Inko: Sweetie, the principal called and said you got into a fight at school.

Izuku: I wouldn’t call it a fight. I simply pointed out that Daiki should invest in some cosmetics for those hideous pores of his. He’s the one who got all huffy about it.

Inko: As long as you’re using your words.

By his final year at the hell hole known as Aldera Junior High, Izuku’s own version of the burn book had become so full that he had to buy a second binder… And then a third. There was just so much to rant about the students and teachers, and he wasn’t just going to keep those thoughts to himself

Izuku: And just what the hell gave you the right to tell this entire room comprised of quirkist little shitheads about my future plans?” Izuku questions the man who shouldn’t even

Idiot teacher who obviously has a perm: Midoriya, that is no way to talk about your classmates.

Izuku: Oh, so they can call me a useless Deku, use their quirks to physically assault me, and tell me to off myself on a daily basis? Favoritism at its finest, you pointy-nosed bean pole. Lemme guess, grammy was discriminated against by quirkless folk during the dawn of quirks, and now you feel the need to lash out at me? Pathetic. You feel the need to harm a child just to feel superior. Or, perhaps, you were never loved as a child due to having the weakest quirk, so you take it out on me, someone without a quirk. That’s just sadder, you perm-using fuck

~Later~

Katsuki: Take a swan dive off of a roof and pray for a quirk in your next life.

Izuku: Okay, do you want me to quote that in my letter? I’m sure my dear mother and father will love to read that their unofficial nephew told their darling son to jump off of a roof simply for being quirkless. Katsuki, if there’s two things I’ve learned it’s that my legs look gorgeous in high heels. And that, I get a kick out of seeing the world burn.

Katsuki: ...

Izuku: Here’s what going to happen, honey. I’m not going to Yuuei with you, you’re stuck at Yuuei with me. I’m going to be a living nightmare for you while I’m in the Design department. Who knows? Maybe I’ll paint your equipment my signature shade of green. That way, you can think of me… Bye! *Leaves*

~Later Again~

Izuku: Oh, like hell I’m letting you touch me. *Pulls out a bedazzled pepper spray canister and sprays it into the sludge monster’s eye for about ten seconds until All Might arrives*

All Might: Excellent work, young man! I’ve been trying to hunt them down for days!

Izuku: As if I would let that thing touch my sneakers.

All Might: Well, even so, you seem to have the true makings of a hero.

Izuku: Flattered, but I prefer to make heroes look better, outfit-wise. Quirkless Quipster, at your service.

All Might: Wait… Aren’t your the boy who tore into my Silver Age costume and called it a disaster of epic proportions?

Izuku: It had to be said, sir.

Also, Izuku makes his first friend in years! Yay! It’s Momo! Yay! They became close after Momo commissioned a gorgeous dress

When it comes time for the Support Course Entrance Exams, Izuku discovers that he has quite the fan base among the hopeful students, who surprisingly don’t have a problem with him being quirkless

Power Load: ‘Cause in the Support Course, we don’t take kindly to quirkism

Now, according to some, Power Loader doesn’t have an “Eye for fashion,” so Midnight will be handling Izuku’s entrance exam (Which he passes)

So now, he's going to Yuuei. And Inko couldn't be more prouder. She gets so drunk, that she screams over the balcony for everyone to hear, "HEY, BITCHES! MY BABY GOT INTO YUUEI! SO, SUCK IT, FUCKERS!"

Hisashi: That's my pretty wife.

When it's announced that Izuku's going to Yuuei, Katsuki is having none of that and corners him in an alley after school while his lackeys keep watch. He threatens Izuku into rejecting his application, but Izuku is having none of it, and gracefully tells him to fuck off

So, Katsuki grips the sides of his head and activates his quirk. Before he can storm off, Izuku grabs his wrist and forces Katsuki to look him in the eye as his hair singes

Izuku: Transfer to Shiketsu. Transfer to Ketsubutsu. No one at Yuuei is going to let you play their reindeer games.

When he heads back home, Izuku shapes his hair into an undercut style. And when that's over with, he pulls a Regina George and puts his name in Burn Book #2

~The Following Week~

Izuku: *Crying* I-I found this in the bathroom, Tamaka Sensei. It says all sorts of horrible things about the students, teachers... You.

Idiot Principal: *Flips through the pages* What does this say? "Akido Hana is a..."

Izuku: Pasty snitch.

But, he didn't stop there. Izuku had made several copies of each page in the Burn Book and left them all over the hall for the students and teachers to find when the bell rang. Now, imagine that scene from the movie, but with destructive quirks

Izuku calls the police in tears and begs for them to come quickly as the school descends into chaos. He just walks out with a smile on his face

Aldera got shut down, police are investigating the Burn Book, and will be on their way to making many arrests until eventually, they just shut down the entire school district

During the first week of school at Yuuei, Izuku's first assignment was to watch the Battle Trials from the observation room and make ten critiques for each outfit. Instead, he has ten pages for each outfit. Actually, he has fifteen for Katsuki. Nedzu is impressed, and Power Loader is afraid

When Aizawa introduces him to the class and explains that they will all be a part of Izuku's design project, Izuku makes it very clear that the only person he likes is Momo. The rest? He doesn't like or trust... Yet. He's especially not fond of the "Bakusquad" that's starting to form. To him, they're just the Yuuei versions of Katsuki's lackeys

Uh, what else?... Neito, Mei, Momo, and Shinsou are his most trusted allies

Neito has full access to Burn Book #4, Izuku and Momo give Shinsou a much-needed makeover, and Mei gets a kick out of making Katsuki's gauntlets the same green as Izuku's hair

picture this.

bkdk childhood friends to lovers, they stayed friends throughout middle school and ended up dating in their last year. but they dont tell anyone in UA so they all think they're rivals since they bicker like old married couples.

but one day:

todoroki was walking through the halls, he was just at the support department talking with hatsume as she was adjusting his hero costume to help regulate his temperature more. but now he was on his way back to aizawas class to pick up his stuff, he was expecting to see an empty classroom, since school ended almost an hour ago. so you can imagine his surprise when he saw bakugou and midoriya in there together. his first thought was to barge in and separate the two since nothing good happens when they're together, but luckily he hesitated. he looked in through the small window on the side of the classroom and saw midoriya sitting on his desk (something iida would have Definitely have scolded him for), and bakugou in standing between his legs. and they were kissing. KISSING. /the/ bakugou and deku kissing. the wonder duo who whenever they're paired together always make a riot.

he knew something was off between them, obviously he did. shouto knew everything. he has a board in his room with all the relations everyone have with each other (no it is Not a murder board, hanta). he assumed they were long lost brothers. not that they were dating. oh minas going to have a field day with this.

although no one believes him. as mina said "its like the boy who cried wolf." after hid many theories being wrong. everyone thinks hes crazy.

fuck bakugou and deku

*reading the Four Swords Manga to refresh myself after taking yet another break from the Minish Cap figurine hunt, does a double take and almost drops coffee mug*

So was anyone going to tell me Four is the only Link with at least one alive parent still around who actually did something , or was I just meant to find this out by myself when going on a Zelda binge in preparation for TOTK?

Like, this man is a knight that gets captured and brainwashed by Vaati, duels his son thinking he is Shadow, but manages to snap out of it by throwing a dagger at Vaati while disguised as Zelda. He tries to curb Four's reckless tendencies and to remind him not to rush headlong into situations without his allies and to keep a cool head, it's not much but let that sink in like holy mother of Farore-

He couldn't have know that Link was really himself, he couldn't have know that Vaati wasn't actually the princess, yet he actually takes the gamble because even if he is exasperated by his son and isn't around much he actually cares. Honestly it arguably may not be much and their relationship will likely have some strain due to the brainwashing deal but it's something.

Just, let that sink in. Four is shockingly lucky in that department so good on him, him, Twilight, Time and Legend were arguably the luckiest in the parental figure/role model department (if we count Sir Raven for the time he was around after Link's uncle is gone, which I am doing so by the way, Legend really looked up to him and he's his ancestor and actually very hands on with helping him in the Oracle of Ages manga, a rarity in Zelda in general really and his uncle was also really nice. The only one who was quite as lucky to have a parent/role model actually help a lot in the plot was Twilight, because Time's Deku Tree dies pretty early in during Ocarina of Time after raising him with the Kokiri before the quest and thus can't offer him support and is, ya know a tree, kind of limited in action there). Maybe Wind too if we count Linebeck (this man stabs Bellum for the kid even though he's terrified and is disgusted with himself after the brainwashing for attacking him, honestly props and respect to the sea rat), I think we can also count Spirit if he's around due to Alfonzo? Though I haven't played Spirit Tracks in a bit so I could be wrong. Anyway, he's pretty darn decent and involved in the plot rather than just shoving it onto the Link's shoulders for one reason or another (unlike SOME PEOPLE. *Side eyes Gaepora in Skyward Sword for doing the bare minimum even though his daughter is missing and he's implied to have raised Link/Sky with her, side eyes King of Red Lions, side eyes BOTW's King Rhoam because he really wasn't helpful at all to either Zelda or Link and only did the bare minimum for the later, side eyes OOT's king for not believing is own daughter until Link/Time was already traumatized by the events of the game and coming in to spill the tea, side eyes- actually no, Dot's/Minish Cap and Four Swords' Zelda's father is actually half decent.), They could form a little support group or something.

... Now I want a fic where the Chain actually meets the guy and just, gets a lot of whiplash that "Wait a second one of us is NOT an adopted orphan in some fashion?", That or he just immediately integrates himself as a secondary father figure for some of the Chain members, give Time a bit of a break for a change in wrangling these chaotic green clad menaces (affectionate), someone to bond with Rusl and we can know someone other than Twilight has a decent father figure still around. That or the bigger and arguably more comedic whiplash of meeting Sir Raven, who looks like a young Time with hints of Sky what with the cloak.

#loz #linked universe #link #lu chain #lu four #link's dad #rusl #Sir Raven #loz sir raven #Summer's Sleep Deprived Rants and Ramblings about Zelda/LU #let the links have good parental figures/role models in their lives that they trust and rely on #and who aren't willing to let them do everything all alone without barely nary a back up even if they can't do much #or so help me I'll do it myself

BNHA villain!deku fanfiction recommendations

Guidance, or To Shake(the world and its foundations) by orionchildofhades

part 2 of a series (status: 2/3 works, words: 76,810)

status: complete

chapters: 9/9

tw: Major Character Death, Violence and Blood, Gore

tags: villain!deku, quirkless!deku, support department!deku, traitor!deku, shigaraki & midoriya friendship, league of villains as family, gore

summary:

When does a victim becomes a villain? To be born in a world full of powers without one is simply unjust. Even more when said power defines everything you are and would be. Midoriya Izuku, quirkless, learned that the world in which he lived wasn’t perfect. Heroes did bad things, villains did good things. The former were usually the reasons why the latter existed. After a certain All For One gives him a chance to show his value, Izuku joins the not-yet-known League of Villains.

AU where Deku stays quirkless and he enrolls in UA's support department, he and bakugo befriend each other because they take the same train to school & Deku approaches him because they're both batfam fans :) they bond over common interest which also inspires them to work togetherrrrrr

#the canon event of bakugo bullying deku does not happen & i am usually not a fan of that its so crucial to them but this is a fun nerd au #they team up as either vigilantes or stay connected because bakugo interns under heroes that deku is also doing an apprenticeship under ig #deku is still connected to all might idk maybe thats his biological father for real this time or like he can be their bruce idk #anyway i think they'd be so fun as a duo i'd love to see deku navigatebattles and crimes without a quirk #and they have nerd discourse in their free time ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww #bnha #midoriya izuku #bakugo katsuki #deku #mei is deku's best friend in this universe :) #she covers for them when needed they rlly should be vigilantes sorry

You know, I don't think I would have ever expected Spinner of all people being the last guy AFO betted on XD (on a side note, I love AFO getting his shit kicked in again. Arrogant bastard derseves it so much!~) I'm happy we're going to see best villain boy again!! If you were to ask me during Training Camp if Spinner was gonna be an endgame important villain, I'd have laugh! Hope he can make All Might regret not putting up a match for him...or giving him a cool epithet!

My goodness, I hope the Spinner importance pans out, for so many reasons.  Of course, as a Take That to All Might for omitting him, the fandom for underestimating him, and for all the anime production committee’s crimes, too.  But there’s also just a great thematic weight there as well.

Like, the bond that Shigaraki built with the League needs to come to something, otherwise why did we spend so much time on it?  I would very much like to be able to gloat about having been saying for ages that Spinner’s lack of an obvious student parallel is just as much a reason to guess that he'd be important to the endgame as a reason to guess that he wouldn't!  And lo, here we have that: Twice and Mr. Compress removed from the field, Shigaraki cornered by Deku, with Dabi and Toga, the much-hailed other two members of the Villain Trio that no one (least of all the merchandising department) can shut up about, peeled off by their own respective foils.  And who's left?

Spinner, the one whose only credible student foil has always been Deku himself, the one who adores Shigaraki the most, the one Mr. Compress trusted to figure out how to wake Shigaraki up, the only person in the entire comic who's bonded with Shigaraki on the simple human level of a shared hobby.  I mean, just look at how everyone else stacks up:

The heroes see Shigaraki as a monster and a threat to be put down, to the extent that they've explicitly built their plans around killing him, not defeating him and remitting him to the justice system.

Deku only cares about Shigaraki for the pitiable victim he sees in him, thinking not at all of whoever Shigaraki might be beyond the Crying Boy.

AFO sees him as his next vessel, with his own individuality only worth anything for the path it can provide to stealing OFA.

Other villains---including the rest of the League!---see him as a path to a transformed world.  True Liberation, Harima's dream, Toga's world where she can live freely.  They care about Shigaraki, but their connection is still based in nakama, in alliance, in common cause.

While Spinner certainly has the nakama angle as well in that vision of the barren horizon, his line about bonding with Shigaraki over video games is completely unique.  Let me just share this link to codenamesazanka's recent post on the matter.

But also just in general, yes, if the series wants to harp on teamwork and the strength of Intentions, then it really just needs to stop cockblocking villain cooperation and also let Spinner's strong intention to help and support Shigaraki matter for Shigaraki, and not just as a method for AFO to manipulate him.

Thanks for the ask, @shockersalvage! Fingers crossed for good developments from the leaks tonight!

The Skyline Falls as I Try to Make Sense of it All

The skyline falls as I try to make sense of it all by do a little bunnyhop

How did he end up here? On a rooftop, trying desperately to convince himself not to take that final step? He met his all-time favorite hero, he should be happy, but all he feels is an overwhelming sense of despair. All Izuku has ever wanted was to be like All Might, to save people with a smile, but that can never happen. He's too weak. Even All Might thinks so.

He thinks back to the last time anyone told him he would make a great hero, or even just that they were proud of him. He can't remember. He doesn't think those words have ever been said to him. (At least, not since he got that terrible diagnosis at only four years old.) Is he so useless that they can't even lie about it?

Maybe Kacchan was right. He'd be doing everyone a favor if he jumped. Kacchan would be a great hero without a stupid Deku following him and holding him back, and his mom would shed a few tears before moving on with her life, finally free from her poor excuse of a son.

Izuku is suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by a quiet thump behind him. He freezes; nobody is supposed to be up here.

OR

After All Might leaves him on a rooftop, instead of fighting the slime villain Izuku meets Eraserhead. Angst and fluff ensue!

Do you think All Might knows about the saving Shigaraki idea or Deku probably has only told Ochako about it?

Well, I guess it’s up in the air in the same way that it’s up in the air if Shigaraki knows about Twice being dead. Could go either way. With Shigaraki it really won’t make a difference either way, but with All Might it actually would be pretty stupid if he DID know, in my opinion.

All Might has been shown to be quite callous as of late. And he’s basically been shoved aside with Gran Torino in terms of ideals.

If you’re asking me, I feel like if the story wants me to think that a character is feeling a certain way, it needs to be shown or said. Izuku in chapter 305 and an instance or two in the rogue arc, Izuku and Ochacko in chapter 342, Shouto in chapter 342–those are all instances that either SHOW or TELL me that these characters feel a certain way and want to do a certain thing.

All Might has had no such instance, so therefore I have no reason to believe he knows Izuku’s intentions and is on board with them if he did.

The way we were shown the conversation between him and Ochacko in 342 was shown in such a way that pretty much indicates Izuku hasn’t had a chance to tell anybody his intentions, because as soon as Ochacko mentioned feeling conflicted on Toga—he jumped at the opportunity to reassure her that she isn’t the only one conflicted and having these confusing feelings. When he departed from the island Toga yanked him to, she reassured him that she knows what he wants to do and believes he can do it. It seems to be a thing they’ve only confided in each other.

Honestly if it turns out All Might knows, then he’s been very shitty in the mentoring/supporting department. Or, maybe it’s just really sloppy handling of it—because I personally feel like it would be complete bullshit for these three kids to struggle internally to come to these decisions, and it be a big deal with BIG pay off and success for them, only for it to turn out that “Oh look! All Might was on board too!”

I do think All Might at his core is a person who wants to save Tenko. He’s held back by peer pressure, internal conflict, hopelessness that anything can even be done about Tenko, and his own feelings of helplessness too. I do think he remains at the core of everyone’s heart their inspiration to be true heroes—but I really hope the “true hero” mentality isn’t just handed to him after calling Touya insane, not acknowledging Shigaraki’s current lack of agency despite being aware that he’s possessed, and then when the three kids went back and forth, thought about the consequences and pain they’ve endured, and STILL chose to save despite all of that, while All Might has shown absolutely no difference between the time Gran Torino shut him down and now.

That’s how I feel but honestly, I can’t say it’s impossible for him to just have been on board the whole time either.
