Chapter 8: That’s Not How You Eat a Banana
Hanaka’s freak out caused a whole lot of hassle for her and Tensei. The staff had to go all hands-on deck to keep things peaceful to appease the mother of the twins (aka the school’s biggest donor and contributor). It’s not looking too good for the twins.
-Lunchtime, at school-
“Hey, you girls go ahead” said Hanaka to her friends “I’m just gonna-”
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?” asked Petti “You always want to have lunch.”
“Yeah! I even brought those strawberry Koalas Nya!” Kyanka presented the colorful box of snacks in her paws “Your favorite!”
Hanaka eyed the snacks “Thanks but I’m just not feeling myself today.”
Twinkle gasped “What did that school counselor tell you?!” she furrowed her brow “Because if he said something bad, I’m going to-”
“Guys it’s not what the school counselor said” Hanaka waved her arms to dismiss any escalation of anger “I’ve just doing too much talking to people this week. I need some quiet time with no talking.”
The girls looked at each other with worry, Hanaka was usually the high energy one and seeing her so worn down like this was concerning.
“Okay, you go have your alone time” assured Petti “We’ll see you later.”
The other two nodded, making Hanaka feel a little better.
“Thanks guys” sighed Hanaka in relief “see you later.”
The girls waited for Hanaka to turn the corner that led to the stairs for them to scurry off to the roof top. They sorta had the same idea to spy from afar to make sure their friend was okay. The girls have been worried about Hanaka since the freak out a few days ago and wished they could do more to help.
“Nya! Good thing I got my multi-use googles today!” Kyanka said as they pulled out her support tool out of her bag “Could use the practice before the license exam.”
“Girl isn’t that after the training camp?” Twinkle asked as she tried to scope out Hanaka in the courtyard.
“Wait, didn’t sensei say that was pushed for after the licensing?” Petti was trying to recall “No wait, that doesn’t make sense.”
The girls were trying to remember meanwhile Hanaka strolled near the mindfulness garden. She really hasn’t had the chance to see what it was all about other than that her mom got this built when she made her first big donation many years before she had kids.
“Mindfulness Garden, built to give students a place to reflect and heal mentally. Bulit in honor of Intelligence alumni Agent 19, CEO of Robodog Inc and Inner Circle agent of the Emperor’s Coup.” Hanaka read the plaque at the entrance of the garden “Huh, I forget that mom is an agent. What a girlboss!”
She makes her way into the garden and sits under the willow tree that’s tucked in a more secluded part of the garden. Bringing her knees up to her chest, lunch bag set next to them, they give a large inhale and exhale into a heaving sob. God, they were so mentally exhausted! They didn’t want to talk about their feelings or performance in school to teachers or counselors anymore! And they don’t want to burden their friends with their feelings. With things at home being limited to basically talking to their dad that doesn’t know the meaning of being so mentally tired, Hanaka feels so alone. She could wait until their mom is done with her company stuff, but she wants her now, not a week from now! Her boiling hot tears flow out of her tired, little eyes. Tears so hot that they sizzle upon contact.
“What do you see?” asked Petti to Kyanka, trying to toggle the settings
“Nya hold on! I’m trying to find the right setting, but the buttons are too small!”
“Just use your nail Kya” suggested Twinkle.
Kyanka groaned “My daddy made me file them down because I was snagging on everything in the house” she flexed her paw to show the other two “I can’t do shit with just my beans!”
“Yeesh! Here I’ll click through for you” Petti grunted “Tell me when.”
“Okay!.....NYAH!” Kyanka signaled “Where did you lose her Twinkle?”
Twinkle pointed toward the garden “Over there, she went under those trees and I’m not sure where she went after.”
“How are you going to see through the trees?” asked Petti
“These googles come with a heat seeking setting” Kyanka looked toward the area “And since Hanaka radiates high heat, she’ll show up as bright white on my thing.”
“Wow look at you kitty girl! Having the braincell today!” praised Twinkle
“FOUND HER! Wait, nya?”
“What is it?” asked Petti and Twinkle
“Well I found her but theres another thing I’m picking up, nya” Kyanka was trying to explain “Another, person? Thing? Person shaped thing?”
“What’s got you confused?” Petti was trying to piece what Kyanka was seeing.
Kyanka pursed her lips in concentration “Like, why is this thing pitch black? Like it’s made out of the coldest ice ever. And it’s...moving around? So it’s not an ice sculpture, nya.”
Twinkle gasped “Hanaka’s direct opposite?! What are the chances!”
Meanwhile, Hanaka wasn’t aware that she wasn’t alone until she hears a very soft but close by “Damn!”
That startled her out of her thoughts, looking around to see who was there. But she didn’t see anyone next to her, maybe somebody was behind the tree? She crawled to peer behind the trunk of the tree, at first there was nobody there but in a blink of an eye, suddenly appeared a male uniform with a presumably invisible person in it. Hanaka flinched in fear but didn’t want to look away out of curiosity, she’s never met an invisible person before! Even though she couldn’t see their face, she felt their eyes on them.
“I- um, I-I-I” the invisible person stammered, like they just got caught.
Hanaka wasn’t sure why they were acting like that but then noticed the spilt soy sauce on the knee of their pants.
“Ah! Here, I have a detergent stick” Hanaka reached into her bag to pull out a pen detergent stick “I eat really messy too, don’t worry.”
The person was hesitant to reach for the pen she offered but slowly leaned over to grab it “Th-thank you” they said in the same soft voice.
Hanaka looked on as they removed their stain “Oh uhhh, I’m-”
“You’re Hanaka R. Iida, Hero course student in 1A” the person finished her sentence “I know who you are.”
“Whoa, how do you know my name and class?”
“I um, I studied you closely- NOT IN A PERVY WAY!” they clarified in a panic “I mean, I’m a business student here. I’m Tenten Chuubei, class 1A. The business course has us predict trends on things like top students or who’s more likely to be a top hero or sidekick.”
“Oh, cool! I didn’t know the business course did that” Hanaka was even more intrigued now “Say, I’ve never met anyone with your quirk! How does it work?”
“Huh? You’re curious about me?”
Hanaka nodded eagerly.
“Well, I have three quirks, according to the registry here” the person explained “I have invisibility, clairvoyance and sheer cold.”
Hanaka gasped “Cold?! I’m a fire user!”
“I was kind of hoping we’d never cross paths for you to see me like this” Tenten sighed as they recapped the pen “Don’t think you can-”
“Can I shake your hand with my hand at max heat?”
“Huh?” Tenten was confused as hell
“I’ve never experienced the cold before, and it doesn’t snow where I’ve lived my entire life” Hanaka stuck her hand out “I’d love to see how it feels.”
Tenten looked Hanaka’s hand and gulped hard “Now that I think about it, I’ve never felt warmth” he reached out his hand slowly “I’m curious too.”
Even though Hanaka can’t see his hand, she certainly felt it when his fingertips touched her palm. Their hands fell into the handshake position, but they didn’t do the shaking part because they were too focused on the new sensation. They didn’t know how long they were holding hands or how the other was feeling, all that Hanaka could do is give a big dumb grin and wide eyes.
“Why the hell are they just holding hands?” Petti squawked “I just know she convinced them to hold hands, Hanaka always wants to touch things with they’re quirk related.”
“Hm? I didn’t take Hanaka for the curious type” commented Twinkle as they munched on the abandoned Koala snacks “How do you know?”
“Nya, she asked me what I was hiding my mittens when I was the new kid in preschool” Kyanka clapped her paws “She said my paws were cool and would poke my beans. And we were friends since!”
Petti groaned “When we were babies, Hanaka would collect my feathers when I was preening or molted” she lifted the back of her feathers on the base of her neck “She burned me on the neck when we were toddlers when she tried to put my feathers back on when I molted. I like to say she branded me as her friend at that point.”
“Nya, I have mine too on my wrist!”
Twinkle gasped excitedly “Wow! When will I get my friendship branding?!”
The two branded friends looked at each other, then at their unbranded friend.
“You don’t wanna, those burns were painful as hell!”
“Humph! I just want a friendship thing!” whined Twinkle, crossing their arms “Bracelets are so cliche! I want to get branded!”
Back to Hanaka, only 5 minutes has passed in the hand holding position, but the boy was starting to feel a bit weirded out.
“Alright, erm” he spoke as he loosened his grip.
“Hm? OH!” Hanaka quickly let go at his hint “That was nice! So that’s how being cold feels like.”
The boy was looking at his hand “Yea, nice...Like I was going to, melt? Turn into water?”
“Do you have lunch here every day?” blurted Hanaka “Can I join you again?”
“Erm, I come here to hide” said the boy meekly, making himself invisible again “I gotta go.”
“WAIT!” Hanaka bolted up but it was for nothing, he ran off and she couldn’t see him.
Now Hanaka wants to get to know Tenten and become friends. She was excited to tell her friends that she experienced cold for the first time. But the others already had an idea of what happened.
After School, walking to the nurse’s office
“YOU WHAT?!” yelled Hanaka
The girls winced at the outburst.
“We were concerned for you!” Petti defended “We gave you the space.”
“Nya! I didn’t say that we knew who that was or what was said” Kyanka crossed her arms “It was just predictable and surprising that the one time you want to be alone is the time you find your direct opposite.”
Twinkle was pouty and slowly inching their hand toward Hanaka “If you’re mad, you can take it out on me.”
Petti and Kyanka slowly lowered their friend’s hand away, making them more pouty.
“ANYWAYS! Who was the person?” asked Petti “are they nice? Bitchy?”
“Are they pretty?! What class are they in?” asked Kyanka “I don’t think there’s an ice user in the B class next to us.”
Hanaka raised an eyebrow and recalled “Hm, actually. They’re an invisible quirk user with 2 other quirks. And they’re a boy in the Business course.”
The three girls gasped and eyes widened.
“A boy?! You held hands with a boy?!” screamed Twinkle before Kyanka shoved a paw in her mouth to silence her.
Hanaka looked at her hand and fully processed what she said to Tenten earlier. Once it clicked she turned red and set the top of her head on fire.
“Oh my god why did I do that?!” panicked Hanaka, hands on her cheeks “I’ve never talked to a boy that wasn’t my siblings’ friends! I was just curious! Oh geez what if he thinks I was flirting with him?!”
The squak were in hysterics right outside the nurse’s office, thankfully nurse Eri put a stop to it before anything caught on fire. The girls calmed down and got the band aid for Twinkle before leaving. Hanaka was very bothered by this realization but didn’t really know how to express it or explain it. She just went straight to her room once she got home, no words exchanged to her twin or dad. She even forgot to lock her door! That’s how bothered she was.
“Hanaka? You want a snack?” her dad asked carefully before opening her door a bit wider “We just got our shipment of hot chips, mom got your favorites.”
She looked over to her dad in the doorway with a bag of Exxtra Hot Cheetos. No words were spoken, just her holding her hands out with the grabby hands.
Her dad sat at the foot of the bed and waited to see if Hanaka wanted to talk about what’s bothering her as she popped the chip bag open. Hanaka just crunched, unable to find the words but just a singular sigh.
“Ah, so you talked to the opposite sex and your friends/classmates are teasing/shocked about it and you’re not sure how to feel about it because you’ve never talked like that and wonder if they took it the wrong way but you just wanted to make a friend.”
Hanaka stopped mid crunch “What the- how did you?”
Their dad chuckled “That’s what happened to me when I held your mom’s hands for the first time when they told me their secret” he reminisced “I told my brother when I got home and my classmates saw me from the third floor window hold her hands. I was embarrassed and unsure about my feelings, because I wanted to be friends with her. But at the same time I developed feelings that never truly went away.”
Hanaka turned red again, as bright as the cheetos she was snacking on.
“It’s okay to feel like this, you don’t need to figure it out right away” their dad opened his arms for a hug “take your time, you just met this boy right? Who knows! He might make a really good friend.”
Hanaka threw herself into her dad's arms for the hug “Thanks dad.”
He embraced her “Anytime Hanaka. Just take my advice, if you do find yourself that you like this boy: Don’t wait, just tell him you like him. You might regret it if you don’t say anything.”
“Is that what happened to you?”
“Yes and if I wasn’t just a denier of my feelings, I would’ve confessed 2nd year and married the day we were 20 years old.” he sighed and held his daughter tighter “But then you and your siblings wouldn’t exist! And I very much love you all.”
“Dad, are you crying?”
“....yes” he croaked “I just really love my little family and all my children are growing up so fast! It’s like last week you were crawling for the first time and now you’re talking to boys! I’ll blink and you’ll be married!”
“Dad! I don’t know if I even like this boy!” Hanaka tried to squirm herself out of her dad’s embrace “let me go you big sappy fool!”
“No, because if I let you go” her father didn’t budge “you’ll grow up! Stay little just a bit longer please.”
Hanaka stopped resisting and pondered on what her father said, almost in defeat.
“Fine, no promises that I won’t be a little taller tomorrow tho!”
-Later that night, before bedtime-
There was a knock on Tensei’s door
“Go away Rosa”
“STUPIDO TENSEI YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT!”
Tensei sighed and unlocked the door anyways “Que quieres?”
Hanaka barged in and front flipped onto her twin’s bed, almost missing the edge of the mattress. She turns to properly face Tensei.
“I have to tell you many things twin brother.”
“Uh huh? That’s why you come in to stand higher than me?” Tensei smirked as he sat at his desk chair “Pues? What do you need to tell me gemela?”
Hanaka takes a deep breath “Okay, first off! I’m sorry for letting my rage get the best of me at school.” She did a tiny hop on the bed “Secondly, I know I’ve been a shitty twin and dragging you into all my drama but I know it’s because I depend too much on you fixing things.” She did a slightly bigger hop, just enough to get the bounce back of the mattress “Thirdly, but not leastly-”
“Those aren’t words”
“Shut up! I’m trying to made amends with you!” Hanaka huffed as she did another hop “What I mean is that, I need your help with something not school related.”
“Oh? You’ve piqued my interest!” Tensei leaned in with his elbows on his knees, holding his chin “Continue.”
Hanaka carefully sat down on bed, leaning toward her twin “I uhhhh, I need help talking to this person I just met today.”
“Who are they?”
Hanaka gets shy “It’s a boy in the business class. BEFORE YOU TEASE ME! I want your help with talking with boys.”
Tensei gives his twin a look “You need help talking to this boy? Why, you like him or something?”
“I don’t know!” she threw herself back, laying perfectly on Tensei’s freshly fluffed pillow “I talked to him and since the only non-family boys I’ve talked to are your friends and the children of our parents’ friends, I literally don’t know if I said something that sounds like I’m flirting with him or it’s friendly.”
“Ay Rosa, talking to boys is so simple” sighed Tensei, folding his arms “Boys wear their emotions on their face.”
“Okay but what if he has an invisibility quirk and he doesn’t show his face in the first place?”
Tensei blinked and put a hand on his chin “Damn, I didn’t consider that, what the fuck Rosa?!”
“You see why I’m freaking out?!” Hanaka groaned “Help me Tensei! I promise to help you out with talking to girls!”
“Fine I’ll help, the offer won’t be needed” Tensei gave in “tell me about your interactions and I’ll say if that was friendly or not.”
“Yay! You’re the best twin ever!” Hanaka sat up quickly with her arms out “The offer will be on the table, just in case.”
Before Tensei could say anything, the robo-dog trotted into the room.
“Children, it’s 10:11pm on a school night” the robo-dog displayed a count down “You have T-minus 90 seconds to get to bed with lights off before I alert your mother.”
The timer starts ticking down
“Run Hanaka! Mama is letting dad chose the punishment this time!” cried out Tensei.
“Aw FUCK!” Hanaka ran with no quirk at high speed to her room. Not wanting to fuck around and find out this time.
The robo turns to Tensei, making him yelp and jump into bed “Goodnight doggy!”
“Goodnight Tensei” The robo starts trotting out the room, turning off the light “Sweet dreams, your mother returns tomorrow in the afternoon.”
Tensei waited until the door closed to breathe out “God that thing scares me! Why the fuck is that thing the reason for my family’s wealth?”

GahDam where did the time go?
Hi Tumblr, Palma-sama here.....or if you know my irl name, you know what tf up.
It has come to my attention that I’ve been on this hell-site for 9 years and BOY does that make me feel old. But where have I been for months at a time, I know the fics stopped coming regularly as I usually promise in the tags. Well... I’m a working (semi) professional! If you looked at the tags in the last two updates of my fics, I was going sicko mode on my studies while doing some work-study. Things turned out really well for me and I got a higher position and pay since graduating with my three degrees. Granted, associate degrees BUT they got me my current job and all the other tangent side gigs. I’m a co-professor at the college I graduated from, a hired judge for Speech and Debate competitions and a small business owner. So you can say I’ve been a bit busy. I even changed my icon to one of my favorite graduation pictures. Right now I’m in the process of applying to transfer to finish my bachelors. And the more I pause and think about my past self, the more I’m reminded that I thought I wasn’t ever going to make it this far. I was a bad student and constantly told that I wasn’t worth the resources to help because I wasn’t finishing in the expected 2 years. Guys, it took me 7 YEARS to finish community college! Tumblr was there for me while I was barely skating by in college and beyond. Thankfully, it was a happier ending than predicted!
What does that mean for the fic? Just that it’ll take longer to hash out. I have the whole thing written down in a timeline type format, I just fill out the details on here in 7k-10k words at a time. I hate when authors rush their works to meet the quota or when things take too long, I’m going to release things the way I wanted to. Even if it takes me another 2 years to do so, just ride it out with me! Also thanks for checking in on me every now and then, it makes me feel cared for and that you actually like what I write and it’s not entirely self-indulgent. I started writing to escape my responsibilities, then to hone my writing skills, turned into something to do to keep myself sane during lockdown and now sometimes it’s to fill in the unplanned free time/sleepless nights. Either way, it brings in the anime/manga only crowd every time something fucky happens in the canon. Hello to the new folks and a very loud YEEEERRRR to the day 1 readers.
Whatever reason you came to my blog for, I just wanted to share my irl accomplishments to justify my months of non-updates. Hope you stick around for a while more.
Until then!
- Palma-sama
P.S. My ask is open for any questions! It doesn’t have to be fic related :)
#//Palma-sama Speaks#tumblr anniversary#9 years dawg! I made this account when I was a senior in high school!#I hate the qualms of time#ask me anything#remember when this was a language learning blog?!

BNHA self insert AU [Book 4]
Not caught up? Why not?! Here’s som handy links 1 * 2 * 3
Chapter 7:...Yes, A Really Good Book
The twins are now seeing the reality that their whole family went through at UA, all the rigorous training but now with the added expectations to be like the rest of their family. It’s only been a month and they’re close to exploding emotionally.
-Saturday, Iida household-
“Gemelos, adone estan?” their mother coo’d for them “I cut some fresitas, come eat.”
A collective groan was made from the living room. The twins were face down on the carpet, unmoving and sore as hell.
“Come on, I’m not air lifting you guys” sighed their mother as she floated over to her children with the bowl of fruit “I know training is kicking your asses, this is why your dad and I trained you. Without it, you’d be dead tired.”
Tensei rolled onto his back “Ow! Mama, how the fuck did you survive doing both hero and intelligence training?!” He looked at his mother with curiosity “All the staff is expecting us to be on par with you. And I took a major L yesterday when doing the rope climb.”
“I set the rope on fire because sensei got me mad” Hanaka added, barely lifting her head.
“Ah my favorite” their mother said sarcastically as she folded her legs to sit next to her children “I was just built different. Had to fight my way through everything in my life before coming here. So this training shit was like a breeze in comparison.”
“Is America really that intense?” questioned the twins
Their mother sighed and nodded “I was raised in a very conservative time, anyone that wasn’t white or white passing was oppressed. But especially if you had more than one quirk!”
Tensei attempted to sit up properly “No way! What did you do to hide your quirks? Everyone in your family would’ve had to hide their too!”
“We just didn’t say our quirks publicly, my mom worked in places where they were safe to use both their quirks. My sister had to register herself as disabled because both of her quirks prevent her from getting a job or living an independent life” she described “My brother didn’t have much trouble hiding his and I struggled a bit.”
“Why mama?” asked Hanaka as she shakily tried to sit up and plopped back down.
“My telekinesis wasn’t stable and was borderline disabling” their mother said as she watched her children struggle to sit “If hero culture was a thing, I’d be sent to a specialized school to hone my quirk as a child or be encouraged to use both of them in public... But I was just another cog in the machine that the government was willing to cast away at the moment’s notice.”
“That’s so wack! How could you be okay with that life?!” protested Tensei, now sitting up “You always said you wanted to go back or that you wished you never left, how is that better?!”
“Oh my sweet bebe, it was so liberating to not be dependent on your quirk to live a normal life” she sighed as she floated a strawberry toward her son “I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, I had everything I needed and I only ever wanted to be loved and be comfortable. And when things went down, I fought to have my shred of normalcy back.”
“Thats all you wanted?” Hanaka questioned, still struggling “But what about meeting Papa? You’re so in love with him!”
Their mother sighed lovingly “Ay mi~ As much I love your father” she gently fed a strawberry to Tensei “I had a boyfriend that I was willing to marry before I came over here.”
Hanaka latina gasped and finally sat up properly, ignoring her pain “QUE?! I lover left behind?!”
“Si mi amor, I left behind who I thought was my one and only”
Tensei swallowed his bite of strawberry “So what happened to him?”
“I don’t know” their mother showed a pained expression “I lost track of him when I graduated from UA. I don’t know if he’s still alive or if he moved on to someone else. But I hope he’s doing okay and he’s happy with his new life...without me.”
“Aw mama I didn’t mean to make you sad” Hanaka comforted, she hates to see her mother so sad.
“No bebe, I’m not sad” their mother smiled through the pain “I just miss him, I literally planned my entire, short life with him. And he just swept me off my feet with the simplest things, plus it helped that he was so talented and sensitive. We didn’t need money to be happy, just each other.” She glanced over at the family picture on the wall “Not to mention that my parents LOVED my boyfriend and his family. They were really rooting for us to get married the moment we turned 18.”
“Abuelito and Abuelita love Papa no?” questioned Tensei, hoping he was right.
Their mother let out a sharp, singular laugh “Oh no bebe, your grandma HATES your dad! She really wanted me to marry a latino with those hard working morals. Not your rich boy playing superhero father, or as she puts it ‘a cop without the gun’”
Tensei scrunched his nose “Well in that case, why move on? I wouldn’t if I loved someone else before.”
“Oh yeah Tensei, the girls are just lining up to confess daily” sarcastically spoke his twin “they stuff your locker with notes and give you handmade bento to spoon-feed you at lunch!”
Tensei squinted at Hanaka “Sure! And the boys are on their hands and knees to your every whim too!” he matched the energy “They’re bending over backwards to shade you in the sun and carry you to your desk, so you don’t tire your little legs!”
“Okay enough you two” mediated their mother “You’ll understand once you meet your special someone, things will fall together and wonder why you ever lived without them.”
Tensei was always skeptical about love and romantic feelings, so his mother’s words were just another thing that he didn’t see the logic in. Hanaka absorbs anything love related but doesn’t put in the effort to be in a relationship. Not like anyone was actively seeking them anyways, especially not in UA!
-Two weeks later, Homeroom-
“...next for spars, Hanaka-”
“Please not Tensei, PLEASE NOT TENSEI!” Hanaka harshly whispered her plea in the gym bleachers.
“aaand Tensei”
“FUCK! OF COURSE IT’S MY FUCKING TWIN!” screamed the twins, angrily making their way to the sparing circle.
“Sheesh, you’d think they’d be over their tantrums” Masaru whispered to Tetsu, as they watched the twins do their little pre-spar stretch “This was bound to happen!”
“Heh, bet you 1,000 yen that Hanaka is gonna beat the shit outta Tensei” Tetsu wagered.
Masaru gasped “Don’t you have confidence in our friend?!”
Tetsu deadpanned to Masaru “Dude, she sent the class rep to the nurse’s office with a multi-punch attack in under a minute. Not to mention that she’s undefeated so far in spars!”
“If you put it that way” Masaru sighed in defeat “I’ll throw in this betting rink.”
The buzzer rang and the twins carefully circle each other, waiting for the other to make a move.
“I’m real sick of getting put up against you” spat Hanaka, high off their last 2 wins “Do me a favor and lose because I’m the queen of spars, that’s MY thing NOT YOURS!”
“The feeling is mutual hermanita” Tensei responded “But you know me, and I won’t go down without a FAIR fight. Not that you know how to play fair.”
That pushed Hanaka over the edge and ignited herself, tensing her body into fighting stance. Tensei did the first move and the fight escalated into a sibling fistfight and less of a technique display. Hanaka tries to pin her twin down for a pummeling.
“I should of ate you in the womb!” she yelled “then I wouldn’t be compared to you!”
“Bitch I wish you would’ve!” Tensei yelled, dodging his twin’s fast fists “then I’d never be compared to you!”
“Me?! You’re the perfect twin!”
“Bitch, you have the powers!” Tensei landed a punch on Hanaka’s stomach “Everyone wanted to you to be strong and carry on the family legacy from the moment you popped out. Everyone thought I was fuckin quirkless until 3rd grade!”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” screamed Hanaka as she shoved her twin to knock him on the ground “Everyone tells me why am I not as smart as you all the time! Since you won those little, stupid academic awards, where are my titles and awards?!” She swings a kick to Tensei’s side but he teleports to the other side of the circle “I’m just the dumb and angry one, so just let me HAVE THIS!”
She lunges a fiery punch toward Tensei but the power in that punch, with the solid block from Tensei, sent the twins out of bounds.
“No winners that round” sensei clicks his pen to scribble on his sheet “I have lots of technique critique and spar etiquette comments, but I’ll have you read them later.”
Hanaka wasn’t listening, she was absolutely crushed by the fact that her winning streak was gone. Just like that, all because of her twin. Feeling tears welling in her eyes, she ran out of the gym.
“Hanaka! Come back!” her friends cried out and chased after her, even though they have no hope in catching up to her.
“Aren’t you gonna-” started Tetsu
“No” Tensei interrupted “I don’t know what’s her deal, she’s been on my nerves at home about studying. And when I offer my help, she gets all defensive and shouty that she can do it herself.” He starts skimming through his critique paper “I blame my dad for focusing on quirk training with her instead of the other shit.”
The journey home was quiet as Hanaka fumed in the backseat of their dad’s car. When they got home, the twins went straight to their rooms with slammed doors. Without the older siblings at home, there's no mediator and dad is left with all the high emotions.
“Tensei? Can I talk to you?” asked their dad, knocking carefully.
“No, I’m busy” Tensei responded, totally lying but he really didn’t want to talk to his dad “Hanaka is the one with the problem, go talk to her!”
Their father sighed “I know your sister is the one that is angry. I just want to know what happened.”
Tensei sighed and unlocked the door. He gestured toward his desk with an arm chop “Come in, sit down please.”
He sits down and waits for Tensei to sit down “Alright, what happened?”
Tensei sighed with a slight groan “Did you know that your daughter is failing in her common core classes?”
“Even English?”
“Dad don’t be dumb! We tested out of that” sneered Tensei “But we got a report card today and I got praised for having the best grades in class and I guess that made Hanaka mad.” Tensei crossed his arms “Like? Who cares?! It’s not like I’m also good at fighting or rescue like she is! I get my ass kicked every class training, except when I went against Kyanka but that’s because I dodged at the right time for an out of bounds win.”
“Oh she’s upset over grades” their father connected the dots “and you’re upset that she’s excelling where you’re faltering.”
“Hey! I’m doing okay!”
“Show me your report card then” challenged their father.
Tensei handed over his report card, not making eye contact.
“Ah, so your ass is getting kicked in those parts” their father said after skimming the card “Well Tensei, I’m going to do what I did with Lili and Iwata.”
“Huh? What did you do?” Tensei was confused, he didn’t see the connection between their older siblings and him.
Their father stood up “I’m going to train you until these grades get raised” he handed back the card “You might not know but I made my way up the ranks with my ability to rescue and close combat. Just because you don’t have the family namesake quirk, doesn’t mean you can’t do what I can do. I see a great rescue hero in you.”
“How?”
“You punched that boy off your sister, even if it costed you the debate” he listed off “You pulled your sister and her friends to safety during the entrance exam, despite not being skilled enough in your quirks. And for someone that says they aren’t strong or fast enough; you always manage to push your unsuspecting sibling out of the way to an oncoming dog pile.”
Tensei didn’t have a comeback, he recalled everything his dad listed and meditated on it. It’s true that he can sort of sense danger at the most critical moment, but all those times were because it’s his family or people he cares about. He certainly cares about his family; can he really do the same for someone in need? And will Hanaka ever make amends with Tensei now that there’s a clear divide in what type of hero student they are?

BNHA self insert AU [Book 4]
CATCH UP! Book 1 * 2 * 3
Chapter 4: Lets Get Fuckin FUNKY!
Not that big of a time skip, the twins are nearing the end of their second year of middle school. Hanaka has special training time with her dad. Tensei still has to reach out to his mother on quirk training, mainly because he’s been debating and making a new sound for his band.
“...points to the opposed, Iida and Tanaka move on to the next round.”
The room erupted with cheer as the debate duo stood up to give their bows. Tensei was internally psyched out of his mind! He was at Japan’s Grand Prix Debate Tournament and he just got his team to move on to the semi-finals. If they do well in semis, Nationals next year is a guarantee!
“Gentlemen, I won’t lie” Tensei tried to hold it in “the moment they slipped up in their cross examination, they were done for!”
“We saw that! The way you pushed up your glasses before giving your final statement was iconic” gushed one of his teammates.
“Lets go get some food before they do the final draw” suggested one of the boys “They have good food here!”
“Hup! Iida-kun, may I have a word before you go on your lunch?” requested the new coach.
“Ummm sure” Tensei walked toward the coach, then quickly turned back to the group “Get me yakisoba! I don’t know how long I’m going to be.”
The coach waited until the other boys were out of earshot “Alright, you’re not in trouble and nothing is wrong. I wanted to let you know that I spoke to a coach at Waseda Uni.”
“Waseda is here?!” gasped Tensei.
The new coach smiled “I thought you might react like that! They have you on their radar. If you play your cards right, you might be looking at scholarships and offers to get into their humanities programs when you apply for college.”
“That does sound ideal” Tensei pondered out loud “I’ll do my best to make this a clean sweep for our school.”
“Oh and another thing! Are you doing this next year too?”
Tensei got sheepish “I’m not sure anymore. Since I’m still going with my plan to do hero school after middle school” he sighed “That big infraction on my school record doesn’t look too good on me to go to those privates with their absolute units of debaters. I don’t really see the point of doing a third year of this if I’m going down that route.”
“Well, if you change your mind” the coach takes out a pin from his satchel “I’d love to have you as my student coach for next school year.”
Tensei gasped “You want me as Club Senpai?!”
He nodded as they handed Tensei the tiny gold pin “I can’t think of anyone else that’s more than capable.”
“Oh I can’t possibly take this” Tensei handed back the pin “I don’t have a definite answer.”
“Hold on to it, think it over” the coach pushed Tensei’s hand back gently “Give it back on the first day of third year if you’re not joining. I trust you won’t forget nor misplace it until then.”
That was the biggest power move Tensei has ever witnessed. He continued to get his school to the finals and 2nd place overall that day. On the car ride home, Tensei was lost in his thoughts.
“...Tensei? Did you hear me?”
He snapped out of it “Huh?! No, sorry! What did you say mom?”
“I asked if you wanted McDonalds” repeated his Mother.
“Oh...yes please”
His mother turned into the street of the McDonalds their family frequents.
“You’re not as excited as I thought you might’ve been” his mother waited to say until after they ordered “What happened mijo?”
Tensei sighed “I am happy and psyched to get our school into nationals again. And this win is a pretty good note to end on...but should I stop here?”
“Oh I see, you don’t want to quit the team huh?”
“Yeah! And things are making me want to stay” Tensei gushed “Like, coach wants me to be club senpai AND Waseda has me on their radar! Too good to pass up but I want to get started on my quirk training for hero school. I’m not sure if I can juggle everything for my third year.”
They pulled up to the pick up window.
“As a mother, I want to tell you to do the right thing and sacrifice one thing to help you focus” His mother started “But as the chaotic, over-achiever, ‘fuck you, don’t tell me what to do!’ personality I am... Fuckin do it all! Flex on everyone and be THAT bitch. I believe in you.”
Tensei wasn’t expecting that from his own mother “Huh? How is being in a band, being club senpai and hero training flexing on them?”
“Did you listen to yourself saying that sentence?! That sounds cool as hell!” giggled his mother “I’ve gone through all the juggling in my school years and turned out as this absolute beast! Before I married your father I was one of the most powerful women in Japan already with my status as a top agent, college degree and CEO of my security robot company. I didn’t have to get married and start a family Tensei...but I wanted nothing more than to have a family of my own. And I did! All without giving up a single thing, now I’m THE most powerful woman in all of Japan, would you want to mess with a married woman that’s not only smarter, stronger, richer and has four kids?”
Tensei shook his head in fear “If you put it in perspective like that, I would be scared to be on your bad side. With all those titles, it feels like you can make me disappear in a snap.”
“Now imagine yourself! Tensei Oro Iida: Musician, Lawyer and Hero. Serving justice in and out of the court in the day, playing a gigs in the night!”
“Hmmm, that does sound pretty cool” Tensei receives the bag of food on his lap “You really think I can do it?”
“OH I know you can!” his mother exited out of the drive thru and towards home “You’re my son, my children are capable of the impossible.”
That filled Tensei with motivation to juggle all those titles.
But meanwhile, the girls are having a girls night at Petti’s place.
“Oh my! Is this you guys?” gushed Twinkle at the framed photo in the living room “You were so tiny! In your little dresses and with your dads!”
Hanaka looked over Twinkle’s shoulder “Your dad kept this picture framed Petti? This was so long ago!”
“Nya! It’s the only nice picture we took ‘member?” Kyanka giggled as she flopped onto the couch “We threw a temper tantrum so bad that we lost control of our quirks.”
“Ah yes, good times” reminisced Petti as she brought out the snacks “My dad kept that one framed because it was the one time I willingly put on a dress and smiled.” She pointed to the other pictures on the wall “You can see in the other ones that I wear alt-core and scowl.”
Twinkle looked at the other pictures as the other girls ate snacks.
“If you don’t mind me asking” Twinkled started off “Where’s your mother Petti?”
Kyanka and Hanaka stopped their snacking to turn to Petti. They know that she doesn’t respond well to that question and braced themselves in case she activates her Dark Shadow.
“My mom? She’s not in the picture sadly” sighed Petti, surprisingly calm “Dad tells me I was abandoned at his door as an egg. And she never returned to get to know me, so it’s just been my dad and I. Dad doesn’t have family either.”
“Oh I’m sorry I brought it up!”
“No it’s alright! I’m okay telling you” smiled Petti “Like, my dad tries really hard to raise me right. But it’s tough being a single dad and hero! Hanaka’s mom is basically my mother figure and I ask her all my girl questions that I don’t want to ask my dad.” She looks at the her cup of pink drink “I really want to meet my mom someday though. I have her eye color, skin tone and quirk trigger according to my dad. So I get my hot-headed nature from her and I kinda wish I got her normal face and not a bird head! But I don’t have an idea where she could be.”
“That’s so wholesome of you” Twinkle got teary-eyed “I hope you do get to meet your mom. Maybe when we become heroes, you’ll have the resources to find her!”
“That’s the goal” Petti stretched her back “Hopefully she’d want to be in my life at that point, I like to think that she just doesn’t like children.”
Hanaka spoke up “Now that I think about it, all of us look to my mom as their mother figure.”
“But aren’t your parents are together Kyanka?” questioned Twinkle.
“My mom old as hell” blurted Kyanka “How my dad got suckered into getting with an older woman is beyond me, nya. But she’s always away for hero work with the Wild Wild Pussycats, so I ask Hanaka’s mom for girl advice too. She’s a good woman but I wish she’d just, retire and act her age” sighed the cat girl as she flexed her paws “I may not show it, but I’m scared that with her age and not being in her prime anymore, she’s going to die on the job. It’s scary to think about it and I can’t do anything to stop her from going to work. That’s why I want to be a hero, so I can take her place as a rescue hero, making her retire.”
Twinkle was bawling at this point “Such noble causes! You guys are making me miss my mama.”
“Oh geez, get it together girl” Petti stands up “I’ll get you some tissues.”
“Yea, noble causes” Hanaka repeated aloud, making her pause to think “I don’t really have a reason to be a hero. Other than I can and have the means to do so, my parents never made me do something because of our status or family name.” She looked in the reflection of her cup “I don’t really know what I’m good at. Tensei got all the talent and smarts, I have the quirks and good genes.”
“Aww don’t compare yourself with your twin again” Petti said as she walked in with a fistful of tissues “You’re talented in your own way.”
“Oh yea? Name one thing- THAT ISN’T QUIRK RELATED!” Hanaka huffed.
Petti handed the loose tissues to Twinkle “Easy! You’re charismatic, people think you’re cute and go all mushy and do things for you with little interaction.”
“Ooh! You have a good sense of distance” Kyanka blurted “With just a glance, you know how far something is. AND you’re always quick to help out with things, even if you’re not sure if you’re a good fit for the job! ‘member when you volunteered to do the food stall in 1st year?”
Twinkle blew her nose “You’re a good friend! You integrated me into your group and share your food with me. And from the stories Kyanka and Petti tell, you’re always the first one to start things, a natural leader!”
Hanaka was touched “Aww guys, you’re too much!”
“Can you guys not cry at my house?!” Petti tossed a loose tissue at Hanaka “Seriously! I’m trying to chill with the girls, not get all sappy.”
Not too much time passes and it’s graduation season! Of course the ones graduating are Lili and Iwata from their respected institues. Everyone is home for the holidays and decisions have to be made.
“What’s up with you two?” Lili asked as she looked up from her phone “Usually something would be on fire and it’s too quiet for having a full house. What is going on?”
Hanaka and Tensei were face down in the middle of the living room.
“Shh, they’re communicating” Iwata teased “But deadass, why are you guys so quiet?”
Tensei lifted his head to speak “I’m tired as hell! Mom got me on her training regime and my legs are refusing to work.”
Hanaka flipped over “Ow! And Dad had me do so much reading that my brain hurt and eyes burn.”
“Oh man, I remember those days” sighed Lili with a smile “The mental and physical pain of hero training. Aren’t you glad you’re done with all that Iwee?”
“Yup! Thought I’d never get out of that cycle of pain” Iwata sighed back “Just wait until you realize you’re gay after a series of weird events happen.”
“But that part was my favorite!” beamed Lili.
Hanaka furrowed her brow “That sounds like a you thing. We actually have friends.”
“We have friends too!”
“Yea, the ones you’re dating and are going to marry someday!”
Lili and Iwata tried to think of a rebuttal but their little sister was right.
“ANYWAYS! How prepared are you guys for the entrance exam?” Lili asked.
Tensei groaned “Man, I forgot about that! Why can’t we just, take a written exam like a normal school.”
“It’s not that bad, come on Tensei” Iwata coaxed his brother to stand up “The telekinesis shit is kinda hard to master. But you can flex what that metal bending quirk can do to those robos!”
“Literally, you two have the upper hand to easily pass” Lili explained “The test hasn’t changed in decades! It’s always the robots and the ‘big boy’ robot is worth 0 points BUT you get rescue points if you either save someone from it’s path or you destroy it out of safety of others.”
“Then why did you two struggle?” asked Tensei, not believing that the exam is that simple.
“We can go fast but our second quirks aren’t power based” Lili snapped her fingers to instantly transform the curtain into a pair of pants “imagine that but in battle! The most useful thing I’ve done is make netting and a hot air balloon to transport my classmates! I had to learn certain fighting styles and have multiple support items for me to be on par with everyone else.”
Iwa levitated everything in the living room “And I can do all the floaty things but I’m not like mom, where I can crush things with my mind!” he throws a pillow with force at a wall “that’s my ‘force’ with my quirk, yea it helps me fly for a short amount of time but I wasn’t strong enough to stop a robot from attacking me when I was entering UA.”
Hanaka flails her arms “Okay okay I get it! We’re stronger by default! Put me down now!”
“Oof forgot you don’t like getting levitated” Iwata quickly set everything down “But please don’t feel so helpless, we’d kill to have the advantages you two have.”
The twins faced at each other and exchanged looks.
“If you say so” sighed Tensei “Then I guess we’re ready.”
“YAY!” the older siblings cheered and did the little quick claps.
“Don’t clap and cheer! We’re not babies!” barked the twins.
Just out of sight were their parents, looking on at the sight of their children being their usual selves.
“It was getting too quiet around here” whispered Tenya as he hugged his wife from behind “I feel complete.”
“Enjoy it while you can love” Ita whispered back “Our nest is going to be empty sooner than you think!” She gave her husband a quick kiss “Okay ninos, visitas are at the gates. The living room should be nice and tidy! I got the curtains special made for this year’s theme!”
The kids glanced at the pants that were once the curtains and then to the disorganized furniture, shit!
“Okay mom we’ll fix the living room!” Iwa spoke up “No need to come in here and check! You go and greet the guests!”
Lili frantically fixed the pants-curtains as the twins fixed the couch cushions and Iwa floated everything back to the original layout. Just like when they were younger.
With new confidence and old support, suddenly the new part of the twin’s lives isn’t so scary.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 4]
Foo... here's book 1, 2 and 3. CATCH UP!
Chapter 2: I Thought You Were Bae!
As summer break approaches, the twins gear up for their respected challenges. But of course, this is the middle school years...there's the added bullying to top of trying to do anything.
"Hey Iida-chan" jested a boy from Hanaka's homeroom "why do you put on makeup, you're still ugly."
"Leave her alone you jerk!" Petti snarled at the bully.
"I'm not talking to you feather brain" the bully pushes Petti aside to corner Hanaka up to a tree "Iida-chan, why even try to look pretty? Your face is all round and darker skinned. And you have fat calves."
"Please leave me alone" Hanaka warned "I wasn't bothering you."
"Your ugly face was bothering me" the bully tried to grab her arm but the surface of Hanaka's skin was scorching to the touch "YEOWCH! With a temper and quirk like that, who could ever love you?! You'd burn anyone that tried to get close to you! I bet your parents never hugged you, thats why you're like that."
That tipped Hanaka over the edge and she combusted into flames. It was too much for her to control, so everything caught fire. On one side, it made summer break come earlier. But on the other, it pushed bunch of things back like the mock trials to middle of summer break. Luckily nobody was hurt, but Hanaka's self esteem went down the drain. Their parent's said it was best if the twins were separated until Hanaka sees a doctor. Tensei was more than willing to be away from home and his cases for a while. The Ashido's housed him for the time being.
"Okay boys I'm going on my work trip" announced Ashido-kun's mom, Mina "I'll be back tomorrow evening, your father is coming in an hour. No funny business! And I want that room spotless Masaru."
"Yes mother" groaned Ashido-kun "We'll behave!"
"I know Tensei will, I was talking to you" His mother said sternly "Okay, I'm off! Bye Bye!"
"Bye Mrs Ashido!" Tensei waved.
Masaru waited until the front door closed "Okay she's gone, what do you want to do?!"
"Want help to clean your room?" Tensei suggested.
"What, no! Something fun!" Masaru paused to think "Wanna....sneak out to Huei-kun's?"
"I don't want to get in trouble with your mom" Tensei scowled in reply "Plus your dad is coming home in an hour! He's gonna know we're gone."
Masaru groaned "Come on Tensei, loosen up a little! It's summer break, extendo version" he scrolls on his phone "I'm gonna shoot a text to the boys and see what kind of adventure we'll get into."
Tensei leaned on the wall he was sitting by "Fine! I'll play along but don't expect much from me."
Masaru's phone chirped "Huei says that he has a cousin that recently opened up a shop nearby and we should go check it out."
"A shop? I guess we could pop in and see" Tensei crawls over to his duffle bag "Let me change my shirt real quick, I don't want to get clowned for wearing a button up and glasses."
"See? You're loosening up!" Masaru encouraged as he stood up "I'll just write a note for my dad and we'll be set!"
The boys met up at the shop after a short walk.
"Wait, this is a tattoo parlor!" Tensei freaked out "You said shop Huei!"
"Yeah, same shit" Huei shrugged as he walked toward the front door "Relax Tensei, my cousin isn't going to do any work on us. He just needs a few bodies to fill the space to attract clients."
Masaru and Tetsu walk in casually while Tensei follows after very stiff. The inside was very 90's style grungy and aesthetically pleasing to the boys.
"Yo! It's my lil cuz Beni!" greeted the shop keeper "Are these your little band members?"
"Hello Maito, yes these are my band members" Huei peered over to the opened boxes behind the glass counters "You're still unpacking things?"
"Nah I just got my order of piercings but it looks like I have to return them" he pointed to one of the boxes "They're fine except I got a bunch of curved ball piercings when I ordered the straight barbells." He sighed "It's gonna suck because half of my services are piercings and I won't have all my materials. But what can I do?"
"May I see the curved ball piercing?" Tensei asked politely.
"Um sure dude” the shop keep handed Tensei the metal piercing.
Tensei looked it over carefully “And may I see what a straight barbell looks like?” The shop keeper gave him the one he had on display “Oh these are the same gauge, it’s an easy fix.”
Tensei used his quirk to straighten out the curved piercing. Leaving the shop keeper speechless and the boys wide eyed.
“Wow! You have metal powers” gasped as the shop keeper picked up the fixed piercing from Tensei’s hand “Absolutely flawless! Can you do that to all these? I promise to make it worth your time.”
“Um sure” Tensei stretched his arms “I have time to kill. I won’t take too long.”
“Yay Tensei to the rescue!” cheered Masaru “Your loosening up bro!”
It literally took Tensei 20 minutes to straighten out the piercings for the shop keep to sanitize before putting them on display. All the while the shop got some traction.
“Thank you so much lil dude” bowed the shop keep “As thanks, how would you like a piercing, on the house.”
“A piercing?” Tensei pondered “Don’t I need parental permission to-”
“Just get the damn piercing you nerd!” Huei huffed “Seriously Tensei, loosen up and do it! When will you ever get the chance to do something like this again?”
“Yeah! Do it Tensei!” egged on Tetsu “I think it’ll look so cool on you.”
Tensei looked at his friends “Oh okay! I’ll get one.”
“Cool, just sit over here and I’ll get my tools” gestured the shop keep as he put on some gloves “So where do you want the piercing? I’d say you have the eyebrows for a super sick eyebrow spike.”
Tensei thought about it for a moment “On the bellybutton, that’s a thing right?”
The boys gasped.
“Why there?” asked Masaru.
“Why not? I figured that if I want to hide it from my parents, I should get it somewhere I could easily do so” Tensei explained as he got prepped for the piercing “Plus I can’t go to my mock trials with a visible piercing, I wanna be professional until the shirt comes off.”
“Excellent choice my dude” said the shop keep as he clamped the area for the needle “I need you to take deep breaths and relax, this might hurt a bit.”
Tensei looked away and did his breaths. But it was over in a matter of seconds and there was his first piercing.
“Oh wow that wasn’t bad at all!” Tensei said getting up to look in the full length mirror “Wow....who am I?”
Tensei was slowly spiraling into a crisis. He didn’t regret the piercing! It just changed his perception of himself. In fact, he feels more himself with this on and it was making him question a lot of things. So when it came time to go home, he sped to tell his twin what he did.
“Rosa! Okay, okay, okay” he said quickly before calming down a little “I did…a thing…wait- Iwa? When did you get home?”
“I got here late morning but whats the haps lil bro?” the older brother asked “You look like you landed in a trash heap.”
“I can neither confirm nor deny that happened” he said closing the door behind him and locking it “But back to the thing I did. PLEASE don’t tell mom and dad! Because I’m still very fresh from the thing I did and I’m still processing it.”
“Okay just spill it” Hanaka was getting annoyed “You keep saying thing like you don’t know other words! What thing did you do on your sleep over with the boys?”
“This” he lifted his shirt up to his chest, revealing a belly button piercing.
Tensei watched as his brother and twin’s eyes bulge out in shock. They never expected goody goody Tensei to do something like this.
“What the- where in Japan did you go to get pierced?” Hanaka asked genuinely “Those jewelry places don’t let you get one without adult permission if you’re under 16.”
“Don’t get mad, but one of my band members has a cousin that’s a tattoo artist and does piercings at the place they work at” Tensei started to get red faced “Sooo I showed him that I could fix his little barbel piercings for free when the boys and I walked into his shop for fun… And he gave me this as payment.”
“Tensei! You got this i l l e g a l l y?!” Iwata harshly whispered “Why did you agree to it?”
“Yeah! It’s not like you to do those things” Hanaka scowled in concern “What’s gotten into you lately? Ever since you came back from Nationals, you’ve been acting different.”
Tensei pulled down his shirt and sighed “I’m sick of being praised of being as good and law abiding like dad. I’m nothing like him inside! I’m not some capri-wearing rectangle!” he huffed “I’m way cooler, smarter and talented then people give me credit for. I don’t need the signature quirk to make my way in this world! And I wanna change my image so people take me seriously…no more orderly Tensei, I wanna be anarchist Oro!”
Hanaka narrowed her eyes, like she was shooting needles into her twin’s soul “Is this because you lost and can’t accept the L?”
Tensei turned red and scrunched his nose “No! I’ve already grieved over that and took and L” he crossed his arms “Nationals was just a tiny part of the whole reason.”
“What?” Iwa was lost in this timeline of events.
Hanaka leaned over to Iwa and whispered “Tensei cost his team majorly on all his debates. So bad that the team barred him from going to more debates this season and has to prove himself all over again to get back in the top 3 teams at school.”
“Oof that’s some sad boi shit” Iwata winced at the recap “It’s okay to still not be over that L, you don’t have to spiral like this.”
“Well it’s too late, I got the damn piercing already and planned the next one” Tensei took a deep breath “I’ve been wanting this for a while, to just rebrand and have respect as my own identity. Not some clone of my father or just be the ‘other’ Iida twin. But until I take the next few steps, please don’t tell our parents about this. I want to tell them myself when the time comes.”
“Okay sure” his twin and older brother agreed.
Tensei turned to open the door “Thanks guys, it means a lot to me that you support me.”
Crisis averted...for now.
-Mock trial day-
Tensei took time to get dressed up in his nice suit and fixed his hair. But he couldn’t help but to look at himself in the mirror and not like what he saw. All he saw was a spitting image of his father and every male in that side of the family that had a portrait in the lineage hall. Same eyebrows, eyes, hair type and jawline...only difference was that belly piercing. As he put on his glasses and let out a sigh, Hanaka was having her little tantrum downstairs. That was his cue to head out. His twin was upset that she had to go with him to his mock trials, only because she’d be home alone otherwise.
Halfway through the trials, Hanaka tugged on Tensei’s sleeve.
“I’m bored! I’m going to walk outside” huffed Hanaka “That’s how bored I am!”
“Fine, this next one is my last trial” Tensei glanced at his watch “Don’t wander off! Mom is going to pick us up at exactly 4 and she expects us to be together.”
“Okay DAD!” spat his twin as she turned to leave the multi-purpose room.
Tensei groaned and turned to his debate partner “I envy you so much Tanaka-kun. You don’t have siblings to deal with.”
“I don’t know Iida-kun, I wish I had a twin” Tanaka smiled “It’s like having a built in friend. Hanaka-chan and you must of gotten along at some point.”
“Not since we were babies” Tensei recalled.
While the next trial was going on in the building, Hanaka was biding the time by finding white clovers in the grass area.
“Is that you Hanaka-chan?”
Hanaka looked around to find the voice that called out to her “Oh, Huei-kun! What are you doing here?”
“I was inside doing volunteer work for the trials” he responded “I’m done now and I was going to head home but it looks like you might want some company.”
“Ummm sure, I was pretty bored in there” Hanaka sat under a tree and held out her harvest of white clovers “Help me make a flower chain!”
Tensei had full view of the two from his spot of the trials. Keeping a watchful eye when he wasn’t speaking or doing cross-examinations. Hanaka was having seemingly normal conversation with her twin’s friend. Both of them have known Huei since elementary school, so he’s to be trusted.
“Hanaka-chan I think that bully was wrong” said Huei “I don’t think you’re ugly or unloveable.”
“My older brother gave me a whole pep talk about it” Hanaka sneered as she did the last knot on the flower chain “I don’t care what that bully has to say anymore.”
“No like, I think you’re pretty”
Hanaka stopped what she was doing. Something about the way Huei said that didn’t settle well in her.
“Huh? What are you saying?” she looked up at his face, showing her discomfort.
“Aw don’t hurt my feelings like that Hanaka-chan” Huei responded in a flirty but creepy way “I’ve always liked you.”
Hanaka stood up quickly “Stop, you’re being creepy.”
The boy loomed over Hanaka “But I love you Hanaka-chan.” He grabbed her by the arm “I know you want to fall in love with me too.”
“No I don’t! I don’t like anybody” Hanaka tried to loosen his grip “Let go of me you weirdo!”
Tensei caught the moment Huei grabbed Hanaka. Knowing his twin’s faces, he could tell Hanaka was in trouble and wanted out. Hanaka was in her own dilemma, she doesn’t want to use her fire and cause another accident. Nor hit her twin’s friend knowing that Tensei will get mad at her for doing so. Tensei stands up to make a run for the side door to save his sister.
“Iida sit back down, we’re in a middle of a closing statement.”
Tensei tried to explain “But coach, theres-”
“Sit back down or you’re out of the team” the coach threatened ���I don’t care if your sister caused another fire, that’s her problem.”
Appalled but collected, Tensei sits down calmly to give his closing statement.
“Here’s my closing statement” Tensei clears his throat, then does an arm chop “My opponent is using their phone to look up additional sources under the table. This judge is clearly biased and only chooses the affirmative side in every case” He points to his coach “And you coach, I know you’re cheating on your wife with the school nurse!”
The audience gasped at Tensei’s outburst. No more Mr nice Tensei, Anarchist Oro is here to make his debut. As he got up to leave he turned around one last time.
“Oh and one more thing” Tensei flashes both of his middle fingers to everyone in the room “This school administration is garbage and can suck my ASS!” He gave a forehead salute “Tensei OUT!” and teleported outside.
Hanaka was basically pinned to the tree at this point.
“I said knock it off!” struggled Hanaka.
Huei grabs her chin “Come on don’t be a tease!” he growled “Give me a kiss Hanaka-chan.”
Tensei ran at full speed and tackled Huei off his twin.
“Tensei!?” Hanaka gasped at his display of heroism.
“What the hell man?!” Huei yelled as he picked himself off the ground “Can’t you see I was having a moment?!”
Tensei wasn’t holding back “I trusted you Beni-kun! After all these years of friendship, starting a band together and letting you in our home. This is how you repay us?!” he stood between his twin and Huei “You dare to take advantage of my sister? My twin at that!”
“It’s not like you were going to do anything about it! She didn’t even try to push me off” Huei tried to get closer but Tensei didn’t let him “Oh you’re a tough guy now that you have your little piercing huh? Come on then, hit me!”
Tensei gritted his teeth “You’re out of the band! And I never want to see you near my sister or any of her friends ever again.”
And before Huei had the chance to speak, Tensei sucker punched him so hard that Huei was knocked out cold. The side door slammed open and the sound of his coach yelling for him to get back inside. Instead of obeying, Tensei grabbed his twin by the hand and started running toward the front gates.
“What are you doing?!” Hanaka asked as she was being dragged along, confused by her twin’s actions.
“What does it look like?” Tensei responded, picking up more speed “We’re getting outta here!”
Hanaka looked back and saw the school administrators were catching up quick. She activated her engines and took the lead, dragging Tensei along. She ran for what seemed just minutes and collapsed in a patch of grass.
“Where are we?” Tensei asked, rubbing his eyes.
Hanaka said out of breath “We’re...in the...park.”
“The park?!” Tensei looked around “Hanaka, that’s like 5 miles away from the school!”
“So? We were running away” Hanaka turned her head to face Tensei “We were going to get caught if we went your pace. That was the point right? To not get caught?”
“Yes but-” Tensei groaned and threw himself next to her “Man, I don’t know anymore. Who am I anymore? I’m just a huge fuck up now. Not that my silly little problems matter to you Hanaka, you were born perfect.”
“What are you talking about? You’re the one with the talent and intelligence” Hanaka responded “I’m the huge fuck up, look at the mess I started this time. And you swooped in to save me, I know I messed up if you’re involved in my mess.”
“Nah I saw that you needed my help and I just acted on my instinct” he sighed “I offended that entire room Hanaka, just to save you. Trust me, it was worth it.”
Hanaka looked up at the clear sky “You gave up your one chance to redeem yourself to save me? But what are you going to do now? Debate was your everything.”
Tensei shrugged “Guess I’ll do music now.” He took off his glasses and held them up to the sky “I’m going to change into my truest myself, someone I can face in the mirror and be content with what I see. Who cares about what anyone else has to say, not like they cared before!”
“I care” Hanaka responded meekly “And I support you on your self image journey.”
“Thanks Hanaka”
“Hey, it’s what twins are for!” giggled Hanaka as she reached out to his hand to squeeze it “We’re supposed to support each other.”
They laid on that patch of grass watching the sky turn into it’s late afternoon phase. Tensei’s phone started beeping.
“Oh crap, mom is probably at the school looking for us!” Tensei sat up quickly looking at his phone. “FUCK! Now what?!”
“Okay, what if you teleport us home before mom leaves” Hanaka suggested, wiggling her eyebrows “She doesn’t have to know what happened at school if she never makes it there.”
Tensei glanced at the time “Fine, we have 2 minutes before mom would have to get in the car to pick us up.” He puts his phone back in his suit and t-poses “Assume the position sis.”
Hanaka hugs him tightly “Ready!”
“1, 2, 3- JUMP!” they chant before teleporting onto their uncle Jin’s front lawn.
“Close enough” Tensei shrugs “You can let go of me Hanaka.”
“But I wanna keep hugging” pouted Hanaka, still clinging on to her twin “We haven’t hugged in so long!”
The twins walked up to the front door of their home, pretending like nothing happened.
“Hi mom” Hanaka announced herself to their mother “We’re home!”
“Oh? I was just about to go pick you two up” Their mother said in a normal tone “But I just got off the phone with the school funny enough! You two wouldn’t be accomplices to a string of school offenses would you?”
The twins started to sweat. They forgot that the school could easily call their parents.
“Noooooo” said the twins innocently.
Their mother gave them the look and they tried to run back outside. But alas, their mother used her telekinesis to grab the twins before they could open the door.
“I can’t believe it! Both of you?!” their mother scolded “It would make sense if it was just Hanaka, but you too Tensei?! Telling off the entire room, shouting profanities AND getting into an altercation?!” She faces the little sister “And you assisting his escape by using your quirk?”
“But mom-”
“HUP! No buts!” their mother shut them up “I want you two to kneel facing the front door, so you can tell your father what you did when he comes home.”
“Yes mother” the twins obeyed and kneeled when they got set down.
Their father came home an hour or so later. Shocked by the scene of the twins kneeling and diverting their gaze, clearly guilty of something.
“Both of you did something?!” their father gasped as he took off his shoes “Explain yourselves!”
The twins took turns telling their sides of the story to their parents.
“...then I teleported us home.” Tensei finished “I know I didn’t have to tell off the entire room but they upset me with that comment about Hanaka. They don’t know what’s going on and what gives them the right to say that the team was my priority?!” he bowed his head “I’ll accept capital punishment, Hanaka didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Well, it’s clear to me that you’re the guilty one” their mother spoke up “But that doesn’t mean you’re going to take all the punishment. Hanaka was an accomplice to your crimes, out in the field we call that the ‘get-a-way driver’ clause. She also gets punishment for helping the criminal.”
“I’m sorry but we don’t have a choice but to administer house arrest” their father nodded to his wife “No travel, no visitors, internet use for homework only and limited phone use. Starting now until the end of summer break.”
The twins didn’t show it but they we fuming internally.
“Yes sir” they uttered and bowed their heads.
After a shower and some screaming into their pillow, Tensei laid in bed face up with his hand out. It was sore from that hard punch that knocked out his ex-friend. He’s never used so much force but this wasn’t adrenaline fueled. It felt like he gathered all the energy from his body to focus on his fist? He couldn’t explain it logically.
“Hey, can I come in?” asked his twin from behind the door.
“Sure.”
Hanaka tip toed in and gently closed the door. She then jumped onto her twin’s bed to hug him.
“I don’t think I thanked you for saving me” she looked up to her twin “Thank you, for caring about me enough. It was pretty heroic of you.”
Tensei chuckled “Heroic? I just did what was right. I’m not a hero.”
“But that’s exactly what heroes do!” Hanaka argued “I didn’t know you had the strength to knock someone out! And for once I felt this admiration for you. Yeah you do good things all the time, but that’s textbook good! What you did was out of pocket, immediate justice!”
“Are you...trying to convince me to become a hero?” Tensei gave her a look “Is my twin, using debate tactics to have me in favor of becoming a hero?!” He was in disbelief “Wow, today isn’t real. It can’t be! I’m going to bed.”
“I’m serious Tensei- DON’T FAKE SLEEP ON ME!” Hanaka started slapping her twin’s chest “Dead ass, you’d be a great one. You know laws and stuff, plus you can control your quirks better than me.”
“Only my metal one” Tensei retorted “I don’t really know how to control my teleportation, you saw when we landed in uncle Jin’s front yard. It’s not exact.”
“But imagine if you could?!” Hanaka wiggled her eyebrows.
Tensei briefly imagined it to amuse his twin “Am I really that much of hero material to you?”
“Yes! Plus the girls and I are going to start training too!” she squealed “We’re going to apply to UA.”
“Hol up twin, you forget that we have our parent’s quirks” Tensei put his finger on her forehead “You’re gonna have to ask dad for quirk training.”
Hanaka deflated of all excitement “Awww wack! No queiro!”
“Pues?”
“FINE! I’m gonna ask dad for help” Hanaka pouted “What are you going to do?”
“Ask mom and Iwa for help. Seems like they had success in quirk training with each other, how bad can it be?”
-The next day-
“Hey mom, what can you teach me about my quirks?” asked Tensei bluntly to his mother, who was trying to relax on the couch.
His mother snapped her eyes wide open and turned her head to face her son “Why?”
Tensei felt like this wasn’t the best way to open up the hero school talk but proceeded anyways.
“Just asking because I was such a late bloomer, ya know” Tensei struggled to keep his composure, afraid of her answer.
His mother sat up “Well you have facet of my quirk and your grandfather’s quirk. Which is rare, considering all the factors.”
“Factors?”
“Yeah, you’re a male telekinesis user with a second quirk AND a twin with supporting quirks.”
Tensei was trying unravel all that “Wait, what do you mean by that second part?”
“Hm? The twin part?” she asked, Tensei nodding his head “As a twin, it’s rare to have both children with quirks, usually one or both are quirkless. I thought you didn’t have a quirk since Hanaka came out breathing fire!” she chuckled at the memory “But I noticed that you had the gold skin tone and knew that you had my father’s quirk. I was so happy that you had it, because it meant I didn’t have to separate you and Hanaka.”
“But what does that mean?!”
“Haven’t you noticed that you don’t get burned by Hanaka’s flames?”
Tensei paused to think “Now that you mentioned it, I don’t!”
His mother smiled “That’s because my father’s quirk has two facets to it, manipulating metal and fire resistance. Most users are born with the gold skin tone, before they show signs of the metal bending part.”
“So I’m immune to my sister’s power?” Tensei looked at his arm “And I wasn’t a late bloomer?”
His mother shook her head “Nope, you were also born with your power. And I feel like it couldn’t be more perfect! But of course, your father gets worried and wanted to separate you two” she sighed “He meant well, but I wanted you two to be in the same crib so you could help your sister control her fire as babies.”
“When what about my other quirk?”
“That was a surprise! I didn’t think you’d get teleportation” she responded truthfully “Thought everyone was going to be a turbo baby. But I was happy that it was teleportation and not my mother’s erasure quirk. We were NOT going to have fun with that in the mix, I’ll tell you that!”
Tensei felt a little more confident in himself “Then, can you train me?”
“What is it this time?” she tiredly sighed “Hero? Agent? Vigilante?”
“Ummmm yes?” Tensei panicked that she picked up on his true agenda.
“Mijo you don’t have to hide or feel ashamed about a change of direction” she floated off the couch “I know you wanted to do Hero Law, but who says you can’t be a hero that does law?”
Tensei’s mind was blown “A hero that DOES law! That’s genius! Yeah! I wanna do that!”
“We’ll do training some other time though” She stretched her arms “When you’re not on house arrest.”
“Right, I forgot” Tensei’s new found excitement was crushed by his current reality.
Meanwhile, his twin was having less of a good time.
“OF COURSE I’LL TRAIN YOU! OH HOW I’VE DREAMT OF THIS DAY!” cried their father, holding Hanaka in a tight embrace.
“You’re...crushing me” gasped Hanaka against his chest.
“Sorry! Sorry, I’m just so excited that you decided to pursue hero work” her father gushed “You kids are so unpredictable, I would’ve never guessed you want to get into hero stuff.”
Hanaka diverted her gaze “I’m not doing it because of our family name! I’m trying to make a name for myself” she crossed her arms “It’s not like I have anything else going for me. With quirks like mine, it would be disrespectful not to!”
“Whichever way you’re going, I can help this time” he beamed proudly “Because this time I’m the expert in the quirk.”
“How do you do it?” asked Hanaka, looking at her own engines “I exhausted myself after a short use when I was running away with Tensei. We ended up a few miles away in like, 2 minutes?”
“And is that your best time so far?”
Hanaka nodded.
“From the bruising on your legs, you’re not strong enough to support the kick the engines give” her father presented his engine “You need solid leg support to start any type of quirk training. I started when I was a child by my father and brother, so we have lots to do before those entrance exams!”
Hanaka started to get whiny “Hmph! Wack! Why so much work?!”
Her father put his hand on her head “Yes it’s hard work, but you should know how hard work pays off! And I want you to have all the skills to get to the top of this male dominated job.”
“I do like feminism” Hanaka contemplated briefly “Okay dad, when do we start?”
“Physical stuff after house arrest” he fixed his glasses “We start the study part now.”
Hanaka didn’t have the right to complain, she literally asked for this. To make matters worse, their father kept every single hero book, notes and study guide that he looked at during his school years. So Hanaka had to go through the whole bookcase full of study material to be up to par to someone studying their whole life to be a hero.
The twins take a deep breath and hunker down on their first step into becoming heroes. Both filled new determination and direction, who knows how far they’ll go?!

BNHA self insert AU [Book 3]
New? Read here! Then here!
Chapter 15: Why Do We Live? Just To Suffer?!
Beizu and I didn’t waste any time trying to escape for the weekend! It was our weekend! We agreed to go to our parent’s homes and hang out from there. I get home and nobody was there as expected. Saturdays are hang out days for the kids and short work days for mom and dad. I slam myself onto my bed, as I missed sleeping on my very comfy mattress. The dorm beds SUCK! I get coffee from the kitchen after a while and floated around.
“Hey Muffins, update me on the household since the last time I was here” I called out to the resting robo on the couch.
“It’s been 115 days since you’ve last been home, there’s been 4 fires and 7 gatherings at the house.” the robo listed “20 pictures has been added to the family virtual library. Mom didn’t celebrate her birthday. There’s been 2 lockdowns at the house, Tensei went to debate nationals in March, Hanaka got suspended from school that same week. Lili has video called every night for the past 2 months. And that’s up to date.”
“Only 4 fires? Huh” I took a sip of my coffee “Thank you for the update, whats the ETA for anybody?”
“Hanaka and Dad are due to come back from the doctors at 1pm”
“Doctors?” I whispered to myself “She never gets sick, hope she’s okay.”
It may not be obvious, but Hanaka used to latch onto me when she was a baby. She’d cry when I don’t acknowledge her before I leave the house and set my sweater sleeves on fire if I don’t hold her right away. She’s very much the little, bratty sister type but I still worry. She depends a lot on family support because of her fire quirk, it makes it very hard to live a normal life. Wonder if that’s the cause? I wait around and see them come through the door but it feels so off. Hanaka goes straight to her room in silence, ignoring the fact that I’m in sight.
“Hello Iwata, how was your trip home?” Dad said once Hanaka was in her room.
“It was fine but what’s up with her?”
Dad sighed “She had an episode where she couldn’t control her fire. Nobody got hurt but it happened at school and the school made it a big deal out of it, calling her a delinquent.”
“So what’s the diagnosis?” I asked, processing what dad told me.
“Anxiety trigger, the mix of her quirk and puberty hormones are making her unstable” Dad sets down his keys to wipe his glasses “I really don’t know what to do. And I’m scared its going to be like when your mom gets unstable.”
“Wait, mom gets unstable?” that was news to me. I know of mom losing her temper when she was younger but getting unstable?!
Dad nodded and put his glasses back on “It happens when she overworks and stresses out. Once I triggered the breaking point and I got hit by her psych-blast. If your uncle Jin didn’t set up the robo to sedate her at the right moment, she could’ve died.”
I looked toward the top of the stairs “Well you’ve dealt with mom’s and mine anxiety things, how is this any different?”
“You and your mom have the same quirk and therapy has helped you two” dad started “Your sister doesn’t have the same quirk to body part association. How do you contain a fire that water doesn’t douse nor can be snuffed out? I want to help, I know how much she wants to live a normal life.”
“Leave it to me then” I said confidently “Lili isn’t here to do a girl talk, but I’m here to do a big brother support conversation! Maybe I’ll break through to her, who knows?”
“If you feel like it will help” Dad smiled “then go and talk to her. I’ll be down here making lunch.”
I make my way to the girls room. Before I could even knock, I heard her deep and heavy sobs. It was unsettling as I’ve never heard her sob like this. I knock on the door.
“Can I come in?”
“No”
“Why?”
“I don’t wanna talk about things!”
“I don’t wanna talk” I shake my bag of snacks “I just wanna share cheetos with my little sister.”
“...what kind of cheetos?”
“Hot con límon.”
“...okay you may enter.”
I open the door to see Hanaka in a blanket burrito, mouth and nose peeking out. Trying not to laugh at the sight, I sit next to her bed on the floor and open the bag of cheetos. I float them between us so she could get some without reaching too far. We just sat there in silence for a while until she spoke up.
“Iwa, do you think I’m a bad person?”
I look over to see her face peeking out “No.”
“Do you think anybody would love me? Romantically?”
Oh its that kind of conversation “I believe there’s somebody for everybody.”
“It’s just that, I confessed to somebody and they said so many mean things” her lips started to quiver “Like I’m weird looking, my quirks are weird, that my fire quirk makes it so it burns to hold my hand and who would want to love me if they can’t hold my hand.”
“Well that’s rude! They should’ve just said no and be on their way!” I never wanted to punch a child so much in my life.
“What was worse was that all his friends were there to laugh at me and it attracted more kids to poke fun at me” Hanaka got teary eyed “And I just couldn’t take it, I got all shakey and just combusted into flames. The flames were strong enough to set the play yard on fire. Nobody got hurt but it was still scary.”
“Nobody helped you afterwards?”
“Tensei, Petti and Kyanka covered me until a teacher came” she wiped her tears with the blanket “But I caused so much trouble and it really upset the people in the office. They called me a bad kid and that it wouldn’t surprise them if I became a villain.”
Oh hell no, that school is on my hit list for saying something like that to a child! “Fuck that school! You know what Hanaka, you’re not a bad kid, okay? And you are capable of love and people love you back, do you think Tensei and your friends would do that if they didn’t love you?”
Hanaka sniffed “No...”
“Would you do the same for them if their quirk got out of hand?”
“Yeah! Of course I would!” she responded passionately “I’m their best friend, and friends don’t let friends do things alone!”
“See?! You’re not a bad kid, you love your friends and family” I encouraged her “You can worry about romantic love later, the one will come around soon enough. Right now just focus on school work and being a good friend.”
Hanaka loosened the grip she had on the blanket so it unfurled around her “I guess that does make me feel a bit better” she brought her knees up to her chest “But now I don’t even know if I’m going back to that school. Mommy got really upset like you did at the school office that she’s fighting with the school officials.”
“Wow, good on mom to stand up for you!” I gave props “I’d do the same. But lets not worry about that and trust in mom to make the right move. So, lets change the subject! What’s new?”
Hanaka blew her nose and disposed of her now highly flammable tissue “Uhhh, I made a new friend. Which so happens to be the daughter of one of mom and dad’s hero classmates.”
“Oh that’s tea, who?!” I was intrigued by that second part.
“Her dad is ‘Can’t Stop Twinkling’ the Sparkling Hero” she explained “She was the new girl at school this year and she’s just like me and the girls!”
Her usual giddy self came back, warming my heart “And what’s that?”
“We hate our hero dads, love shopping and wanna be goth” she grabbed her phone to show me her lock screen “See? That’s us right before that juice stand behind us caught on fire.”
“Did you-”
“I don’t think I was responsible for that fire” she clarified “We booked it just in case anyone wanted to pin it on me. BUT look at us!”
I squint at the lock screen picture “There’s glare on your friend’s face.”
“That’s her quirk, don’t be rude!” she scolded me “She’s so luminescent that it hurts to look at her sometimes, and in pictures she’s always glared out. But we put her next to Petti in pictures to offset the light and take a decent one.”
“I’m glad you made a new friend! Has she been to the house?”
“Yup, she’s not yet used to the spicy food we eat though” Hanaka stifled a giggle “Her dad says that she was born and raised in France. He brought her over here because the schools in Japan are better and the hero work is abundant.”
“Can’t wait to meet them”
“Lets see during graduation season” she started then her phone pinged “Oop that’s the group chat, they’re sending their concern memes.”
Before I could take a peek at her phone, Tensei busts in. Which was weird because he ALWAYS knocks.
“Rosa! Okay, okay, okay” he said quickly before calming down a little “I did...a thing...wait- Iwa? When did you get home?”
“I got here late morning but whats the haps lil bro?” I asked “You look like you landed in a trash heap.”
“I can neither confirm nor deny that happened” he said closing the door behind him and locking it “But back to the thing I did. PLEASE don’t tell mom and dad! Because I’m still very fresh from the thing I did and I’m still processing it.”
“Okay just spill it” Hanaka was getting annoyed “You keep saying thing like you don’t know other words! What thing did you do on your sleep over with the boys?”
“This” he lifted his shirt up to his chest, revealing a belly button piercing.
I was shocked, so shocked that I dropped the bag of cheetos that I was floating. Tensei is this good boy image with a punk-like personality. To see this rebellious side to him made me proud in a way. He looks the most like our dad but with a darker skin tone, so I guess this is his baby step into his true self. Hanaka was so shocked that the waste basket contents caught on fire.
“What the- where in Japan did you go to get pierced?” Hanaka asked genuinely “Those jewelry places don’t let you get one without adult permission if you’re under 16.”
“Don’t get mad, but one of my band members has a cousin that’s a tattoo artist and does piercings at the place they work at” Tensei started to get red faced “Sooo I showed him that I could fix his little barbel piercings for free when the boys and I walked into his shop for fun... And he gave me this as payment.”
“Tensei! You got this i l l e g a l l y?!” I harshly whispered “Why did you agree to it?”
“Yeah! It’s not like you to do those things” Hanaka scowled in concern “What’s gotten into you lately? Ever since you came back from Nationals, you’ve been acting different.”
Tensei pulled down his shirt and sighed “I’m sick of being praised of being as good and law abiding like dad. I’m nothing like him inside! I’m not some capri-wearing rectangle!” he huffed “I’m way cooler, smarter and talented then people give me credit for. I don’t need the signature quirk to make my way in this world! And I wanna change my image so people take me seriously...no more orderly Tensei, I wanna be anarchist Oro!”
Hanaka narrowed her eyes, like she was shooting needles into her twin’s soul “Is this because you lost and can’t accept the L?”
Tensei turned red and scrunched his nose “No! I’ve already grieved over that and took and L” he crossed his arms “Nationals was just a tiny part of the whole reason.”
“What?” I was lost in this timeline of events.
Hanaka leaned over to me and whispered “Tensei cost his team majorly on all his debates. So bad that the team barred him from going to more debates this season and has to prove himself all over again to get back in the top 3 teams at school.”
“Oof that’s some sad boi shit” I winced at the recap “It’s okay to still not be over that L, you don’t have to spiral like this.”
“Well it’s too late, I got the damn piercing already and planned the next one” Tensei took a deep breath “I’ve been wanting this for a while, to just rebrand and have respect as my own identity. Not some clone of my father or just be the ‘other’ Iida twin. But until I take the next few steps, please don’t tell our parents about this. I want to tell them myself when the time comes.”
“Okay sure” Hanaka and I agreed.
Tensei turned to open the door “Thanks guys, it means a lot to me that you support me.”
Man, things are getting crazy here! My sweet parents have to deal with this shit on their own and they deserve a vacation or the Nobel peace prize for being the most supportive during life disasters. Seriously! I didn’t see mom until the evening, she looked a little run down but I really wanted to talk to her.
“Hey mom” I announced myself as I entered the living room.
“Iwata! I’ve missed you so much” Mom said as she used her quirk to pull me in for a tight hug “You’re getting so big, I can hardly wrap my arms around you!”
“Missed you too” I hugged her back “I just really miss being home.”
“I bet, heard you did phenomenal at the last practice test” she smiled and caressed my face with her hand “Just like your mama back in the day. I’m so proud of you for using the good old distraction card! That’s what I was well known for, wildcard and distractions.”
“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about” I sat up straight “I don’t know how things are going to get for the Labyrinth practice test. You took the practice and the evaluated one, what’s the winning combo?”
“What? hahaha” Mom laughed for a moment “There really isn’t a ‘winning combo’, just being well versed in fighting techniques. That’s where your uncle Jin didn’t get to the mid-point, he’s a genius and has good speed BUT he lacks impulsive/on the fly thinking. Everything has to be calculated to the T for him and if too many things has gone wrong in his thought out strategy, those seconds he takes thinking of a new plan can be the death of him.” She sighed into another chuckle “And your aunty Mimi! Boy, she’s an amazing weapons user and she NEVER misses. But in the exam, she didn’t make it past the 3rd stage because the stand off was with someone that erases quirks. She depended too much on her quirk for her gun wielding and she got out because of it.”
“So you did the opposite?”
“I used my critical thinking to get me though all the stages. The place were I used my quirks the most were at the end to win the fight with the mock villain” she leaned back and looked up at the ceiling “The rigorous training I did for basically a year got me to the point of not depending on my quirks until the very last resort. Remember Iwata, just because we can do anything without lifting a finger doesn’t mean we should ignore how able bodied we are. So I suggest do some more strength and endurance OH and you might need to do some breathing training too! Never know if you need to hold your breath for a certain amount of time.”
“That’s a lot to train on, kinda makes me feel like I didn’t do enough” I got self-conscience “I wanna do good in this one! Not because I want to make you proud, but for myself. Maybe passing this will spark something in me that’ll give me an idea about my destiny.”
“Oh sweet child of mine” Mom looked over to me lovingly “This test won’t give you any ideas on anything, trust me. Both times I had to go into intensive care to make sure I didn’t rupture my vial organs, thats how hard I went in. Just give it your all and just ride the wave that comes next.”
“Did you think you’d pass?”
Mom snickered “Nope! The second time was easier by a little bit but I just keep telling myself ‘whatever happens, happens’. I didn’t think passing would lead me to the agent position I’m at today! Same how I didn’t think that giving the class a cookie would lead to finding the love of my life. So don’t let the ‘what ifs’ rule your self-worth, life has a way of surprising you at the very last second.”
That made me feel better about things. I’m glad I decided to go home this weekend, because I know what to do now.
-The next day, At Beizu’s house-
“...you still have this?” I said to Beizu as I was rummaging through his closet.
“Wha- oh that thing! Yea” he responded “You were my only friend in elementary school, so that graduation picture meant a lot to me.”
“Really? That’s why it’s framed” I looked closely at the picture of us holding hands “We look busted with all those missing teeth!”
“Don’t act like you didn’t cry every time you lost one” Beizu retorted back “Besides, it holds something more special to me...it was when I realized I loved you.”
I counted the years in my head “...damn, almost 6 years ago! Why so long?”
“I didn’t know if these were romantic feelings or not. And you did your own thing in middle school with band” he sighed and sat on the bed “I felt a little left behind and I tried really hard to stay in your interest. I wanted you to tell me I was yours, I didn’t care if that meant friend or lover” he turned red “It sounds silly now, but I was happy if you just said good morning or spent lunch with me.”
“Bei, you were always in my interest” I floated over to him “Nobody understood me like you did. You were never anything less than my best friend and it took some eye opening to see that we were basically lovers anyways.” I put my arm around his shoulders “Are you happy that we’ll basically wake up next to each other for the rest of our lives?”
“Are you kidding me?! It’s my dream come true!”
“Great! Just making sure” I kissed him bashfully “because I was getting ahead of myself and looking into apartments in Taito. We’ll be able to move in once I get possession of my inheritance money.”
“I don’t care if I have to wait until I’m on my death bed” he tackled me onto the bed “As long as I’m with you, anywhere is home.”
How everything was coming together nicely for us after UA. In between training and schoolwork, we looked at apartments online. Everyone was envious of us having things set afterwards, but to be honest, we only have an idea of things! We don’t know where exactly we’re going to work nor where to settle. It’s a bit bold to think our parents will give us work when we graduate. But I’m following my mom’s advice and just ‘riding the wave’ of what comes next.
-Fast forward, Mid October-
Beizu, Gee and I take advantage of the half-day of school by filling it with training in the disaster practice gym.
“Huh? The door is unlocked?” Gee said as she checked the door, key in hand “Did we come on the wrong day?”
“No, we have today reserved for us” Beizu pointed to the bulletin board next to the doors “See, we’re in the right.”
We walked on in and checked for anybody that straggled from the last session. But we found three people having banter on a rock.
“Remember the days of disaster training with sensei?!” said a familiar female voice.
“Ugh! Shut up or his ghost is gonna show up and bark at us to do wall sits” said another familiar male voice.
“Rich coming from someone that shat their pants the first time they shot a gun” shaded a Russian accent.
“Mom? Aunty and Uncle?” I spoke up as we got closer “What are you doing here? Aren’t you guys supposed to be agents today?”
“We came to interrogate the administrators here and since we finished early” Aunty Mimi explained “Your mom wanted to take a trip down memory lane. Back to the days of our youth.”
“Speak for yourself! I’m still nimble to go on a tussle like I did in high school” mom flexed her arms “They called me the sparring queen during my time here. I never lost a spar and I still maintain that streak.”
Uncle Jin rolled his eyes “Just because you still train like you’re gonna go to war! Bet you’ll get folded like an omelet if you did a one on one right now.”
“Alright bet!” Mom huffed at the challenge and pointed at me “Iwata, would you be a dear and spar mommy?”
“Oh shit your mom just challenged you” Gee gasped “What are you gonna do?”
“Fuckin fight I guess!” I said with my hands in the air “Let me stretch first though.”
Mom hopped and clapped “Yay! I’ll meet you in the circle in a bit sweetie.”
“Are- are they always like that?” Gee whispered to Beizu and I when the other three were out of earshot “I didn’t know your mom, aunt and uncle were so chummy with each other, like they’re teenagers.”
Beizu groaned into a sigh “All the time! You’re used to our aunt being on sensei mode when we do weapons class, but put them in the same room and they’re one bad decision away from throwing hands.”
“Don’t get us wrong! We love seeing them having fun” I say as I do my stretches “But when we get roped in, we don’t have the means to escape! And I can’t pass this up” I stretch my sides “I’ve NEVER sparred with my mom! She’s only quirk trained me but never the punchy stuff. I really want to see if I’m on par because we have the same quirk.”
We finally walked up to the sparring circle where the agent trio were still reminiscing.
“Ready to throw down nephew?” uncle Jin hyped me up “You’re in for the fight of your life!”
“Don’t scare him!” Mom scolded before dramatically pulling off her agent office uniform to reveal her two piece training clothes “I’d be shitting my pants if I had to fight my mom too. Your hype isn’t helping Jin.”
“Woah, your mom has an amazing physique!” gasped Gee, giving my mom the look over “And with the tattoos?! I can’t even tell if she gave birth to you. Man I hope to be that hot when I’m older.”
“I like your friend there Iwata, she knows what’s good” Mom said as she walked to the middle of the circle “Come now, step into the circle and show mommy what power my little baby boy can harness.”
I blushed hard as I walked up to her “Mom don’t coddle me in front of my team! So embarrassing!”
“Oop sorry baby!” she quickly covered her mouth “Force of habit!”
“Okay rules are first one to pin the other for the ten count is the winner. No weapons and no boundaries” Jin officiated “give the arm brace and assume the position.”
“What’s the arm brace? I only know about the bowing before starting” I whispered to my mom.
“Oh here, hold out your arm” she demonstrated then griped my tricep “now grip mine... there! This is how we show respect before an agent spar.”
I looked at our arms, then into her eyes. Those were the eyes of a woman that has 5 strategies ready to go to win. Those eyes has seen it all and isn’t afraid to do it all again. Wonder if she sees the anxiety in mine? I didn’t have the time to ponder these thoughts, the spar started and she didn’t let up. Immediately I felt the sting of a slap on my face, followed by the whoosh of her movement. What scared me a bit was that the whole time is was silent. Not a single grunt and her breathing was controlled, like she was conserving her energy. She dodged all of my attacks but didn’t land a single attack on me.
“Tired?” asked Mom as I stood to catch my breath.
“I can still fight” I wiped my forehead “hit me mom!”
The smirk that spread on her face was so wicked, I regretted my life because I just played into her trap.
“As you wish mijo!” Mom bellowed as she levitated herself up, followed by pistons jutting out of her body “Nothing personal Iwata” she pointed her palm at me, piston charging with energy “Mama isn’t ready to lose.”
And like the dumb ass I am, I charged right at her with my palm piston. And at the very last second...she grabbed me by the wrist with her other hand to seismic toss me onto the ground. I felt the weight of her foot on my back and knew that I was done for. My arm was locked and I was too tired to get back up, I saw uncle Jin’s feet near me.
“...8, 9, 10!” uncle Jin finished counting down “Winner is our undefeated Queen of Spars, Agent 19!”
“See? Told you I still got it!” She picked me up like when I was child “You okay? Did I hurt you?”
“No I’m okay” I responded to ease her worried tone “But I played right into your trap! You tired me out on purpose and edged me on to strike so I could lock my dominate arm. So simple but effective!”
Mom giggled “You’re so smart! I have a wicked high stamina and my quirk is amplified the more tired I am. So either way, my enemy isn’t leaving unscathed.”
“Wow! You’re absolutely incredible Mrs Iida!” fawned Gee “What else should we study before the test?”
“Just endurance and critical thinking” Mom responded “it’s that simple really. Wish the answer was more thought provoking or full of wisdom.” She looked at her watch “Well it was fun kids but we have to head back to our office to do all that boring office agent stuff.”
“Okay, bye mom! Bye Uncle and Aunty!” I chimed as I waved.
We watched them leave via portal and we continued with our training. I take the critical thinking part more seriously knowing that my mom applied it our spar. But I really don’t know if I’m going about it right! She makes it seem so easy and I wish I was at her level of super genius, big brain strategy.
-Day of Labyrinth practice exam-
“Bei, I’m shitting myself” I say as I finish suiting up “I’m so nervous that I just might anxiety shit myself.”
“That’s not a thing Iwa and you know it” Beizu responded as he finished lacing up his boots “Everything is going to go well! Watch, we’ll all pass and without intensive care afterwards.”
“I hope you’re right” I smiled at him “kiss me good luck?”
Beizu hopped and put his arms around my neck “Okay, one kiss. Then we go in the waiting chamber.”
Sooooo, things were not going well. Gee croaked at level 3 and Beizu didn’t even make it into the doors of the 5th level! He spent too much of his energy in level 4 that he passed out on the moving platform on the way to the next level. Now it’s up to me and I tried really hard not to tire myself out. I see where Gee failed in level 3, there was fast moving projectiles and she isn’t the fastest. Everything was going alright until the 5th level, my quirk stopped working and I panicked. There was nothing in the room and the exit door was locked. I had to think fast, what would I do if my siblings locked me in a room?
“Oh? Feeling trapped?” taunted someone that came into view “You can’t leave until you defeat me! But what is a quirkless agent going to do?!”
“I don’t need quirks” I reach for my gun and cock it “You really wanna fuck with me? I’m a child, WITH A FUCKING GUN! HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?!”
The person was visibly nervous “Psh! I’ve seen plenty of gun fights!” they started to fumble their words “Come on, shoot me!”
“Naw, don’t feel like shooting you” I aim at the light fixtures on the ceiling “Eat broken light bulb BITCH!”
The lights went out and the sound of broken glass hitting the ground was oddly satisfying. I check to see I could use my quirks again and surely, I started floating. Once the door beeped to signal the level cleared, I made my dash to the next level before the final level. Next level wasn’t too hard, at least not for me, I knew how to swim and hold my breath for longer than 2 minutes. That would’ve sucked for anyone that didn’t know how to swim, gotta hand it to my mom for teaching all of us how to swim when we were kids. I get to the rescue part of the final level and it was fine until the ‘villain’ showed themselves.
“Not so fast agent! You’re forgetting someone important” said the villain as they walked into view.
“Nice try villain, all 8 hostages are safe and accounted for in rescuers care” I said smugly as I raised my gun at them “Lets make this quick.”
“I think you’ll want to put your gun down” the villain revealed someone tied up in a cage “You wouldn’t want to hurt my favorite prisoner.”
“Iwata, don’t shoot...please” said the hostage weakly.
I looked at the hostage closer and it’s...mom? That didn’t seem right to me. This person sounded like her and looks like her from the face. In fact, the whole room changed too! I was under some sort of illusion quirk and I didn’t want to risk shooting something that might cost me points. So I lowered my gun and started to scheme.
“Aww you don’t want to hurt mommy?” taunted the villain “To think that the hot shot agent, grown weak and aged terribly! Do something momma’s boy! Don’t you want to be a big shot agent like mommy? Or are you just as weak as she is?!”
I get an idea “Oye mama, tengo hambre!”
“What-” whispered the villain in panic.
“Que vas a cocinar hoy? Un pozole o taquitos?” I kept going, knowing that I threw the ultimate curve ball in this plan.
“I don’t understand you sweetie” responded fake mom “I’m so weak from my fight, that I lost.”
“That’s okay mommy” I smiled calmly “Will you sing me my favorite song? You’re never too tired to sing!”
“ENOUGH!” cried out the villain “make one wrong move, and I’ll kill her!” she took out a dagger.
“Okay then, fine” I stood completely still with my hands on my hips, ready to do plan B “I won’t move then.”
The villain was super confused on my erratic actions. But it was working because they started to pull back the illusion in the room. Once I saw the door, I knew that victory was in reach.
“We can stand here all day” said the villain bringing the dagger closer to fake mom’s throat “But think about your poor mother’s health! Do you really want her death on your conscience?”
“...any second now” I warned before I gave a content smile “You underestimate me villain! I’m not my mother, I am me! And I have a secret bio-weapon that I’ve just released into the room.”
“A bio-weapon?” the villain looked around frantically “I don’t- oh my- WHAT’S THAT HORRID STENCH?!”
I look at fake mom slowly fade and I knew that I was in the clear. The villain fell to their knees and vomited.
“Eat taser WHORE!” I said right before tasering them and put them in cuffs “do more research on our family next time and maybe this would’ve been a challenge!”
“LABYRINTH PRACTICE TEST CONCLUDED, AGENT 88 HAS CLEARED AND PASSED.”
The doors opened and I walked through to see my teammates, sensei and the test proctors waiting for me at the end of the hall.
“That was amazing!” cried out Gee “We saw everything on the proctor’s panels. How did you know that wasn’t your mom?”
“The person in the cage looked like my mom from the face but my mom is more petite,” I took my visor off “The one in the cage looked taller and didn’t have the big butt and thighs like my mom has.”
“Yo that spanish speaking was the biggest wildcard!” Beizu complimented “You knew that the villain had to break at that vital detail that they didn’t know. And that last line, chef’s kiss.”
“Aw shucks guys, I’m latino and can’t help but to be dramatic about it” I start blushing and acted coy “Kinda wish the illusion was more convincing though.”
“What was that ‘bio-weapon’ you released that made the villain basically pass out?” asked sensei “You don’t have the quirk that can do that.”
“Oh I farted” I confessed shamelessly “I’ve been holding that one in since I started the test...I also suggest decontaminating that room, my farts spread quickly and linger.”
Everyone but Beizu got visibly disgusted. Doesn’t matter because I passed and I can’t wait to tell my parents that I farted my way to victory. Nothing can stop me right now, I’m all the way up.

New? Read here! Then here!
Chapter 11: Don’t Rain on Me By Joji
Things weren’t as tense as I thought they were gonna be. I really did hurt my own feelings! As for the group punishment, Aunty Mimi didn’t fuck around and worked us until we cried. My body hurt so much that the showers I took stung.
-5 days before returning to the dorms-
I finished my shower and saw that it was just mom and I at home. She was in her office, laying on the day bed. I’ve always wondered why there was a day bed in here and why it was facing the window. But the scene was nostalgic to me, so I floated over to lay next to my mom. Just like I did when I was little. When I put my weight on the bed, she sensed me and put her arms around me.
“How was your training mijo?” she asked softly.
“It was rough, she had us pull a semi-truck up a hill without quirks” I groaned “luckily it was just the truck part and not with the cargo part.”
“She’s going soft on you guys” she chuckled, pulling me in closer “at least it’s not wilderness training.”
“Heh yea” I looked up to see her calm face, eyes closed but awake and gently running her hand through my curly hair. It made me wonder if I really do share an image with her, am I going to look like this when I get older? If I grew out my hair, will I look more like her? The only way to tell us part are the tattoos on her torso... hmmm, that makes me wonder about her what her high school file said about her. “Hey mom.”
“Yes mijo?”
“Can you tell me about your tattoos?” I asked as I poked her shoulder blades “The two skulls on your shoulder?”
“Oh these ones?” she asked as she pulled down her wide neck long sleeve from the top, exposing the two tattoos “I got them before I came to Japan.”
“Why? What do they mean?”
She pointed to the one on her left “I got this one before I left home, it represents my culture. So I never forget where I came from.” She pointed to the one on the right shoulder “This one I got in Austria, where I did my basic training before going to my final destination. It represents the death of my old life, to remind myself that things will never be the same and that I have to mourn and move on at some point. To move forward with my new life but never forget those memories.”
I traced the one on the left with my finger, it was a sugar skull “Was it hard leaving home and everyone behind?”
“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I did it because I loved my family and I didn’t want them to get hurt over my doing. My life was going well for me before, I even had a long term boyfriend” she chuckled and blushed “I planned to marry him when we turned 18 and live the rest of my short life with him, start a family after I finished college and see where things go from there. But I guess his dreams were shattered too.”
“Wow you had a plan and everything!” I paused to think of my next question “When why did you fall in love with dad? If you planned to marry the other guy?”
“To be honest, I thought I was never returning home. Life was overwhelming me here and I thought I was just going to be alone for the rest of my life” her face shifted into sadness “I cried everyday as I prayed for someone to make my days less lonely, someone who’d make me feel complete. It took a while to see that it was your dad but he did make me very happy, even if we were just friends.” Her eyes got dewy “Then I got the family I yearned for, and at that point, I didn’t mind if I never returned home. Because I made a home here with all of you! And that was enough for me.”
Her words moved me to tears “Even if we’re little shits?”
She laughed “YES! Attitude and all! I love all of you because you’re the little pieces of me that I love the most about myself. I could never hate my children, no matter how bad.”
“Then, what will happen if you get word you can return home?”
“Well, the plan was, that I go back and live with my parents. If my boyfriend was still alive, then I’d reunite with him too and pick up where I left off in my life plan.” She listed “But that was before I started the company, got married and had children! Now it’s more that I’d go for an extended vacation back home. Because the new ordeal is that I was going to retire at both my jobs, hand over the company to a replacement, go visit my childhood home and visit all of my family members to show that I’m alive.”
“Will you take us with you?” I asked, scared of what she might say.
“If you guys want too” she looked at me “I know your dad wants to, he said before we got married that he wanted to accompany me because he wanted to see all the places I talked about in my little childhood stories. But I don’t know if you or your siblings would, I guess it would depend if you’re in your careers or not by then.”
“What if you want to stay there?”
“We’ll see, I haven’t thought that far ahead” she put her chin on my head “one day at a time Iwata.”
“Hmmm, okay one more question” I declared as I felt that I was maybe annoying my mom “Why are we protected citizen status? So many people don’t know about your children and act all surprised that I exist.”
She shifted her arms and had more of my weight rested onto her “Remember the night of the incident? And how we hid in Mr Hitoshi’s house for a few days?” she started off “I was waiting until you were a bit older to tell you the full story, but here it goes. The home invaders hacked into the protected housing database to get my personal cell number, they called me as a distraction so they could break into the house. I knew right away that I had to protect you guys but I wasn’t at my best because I was still healing from giving birth. I alerted Jin and Mimi to take you and the others to safety because I was ready to lay my life on the line.”
“Why did you do it?” I choked up, now understanding what I saw that night.
“I said I was going to protect my family and that if it costed my life, then so be it. I kissed your father goodbye and he understood that I had to do what I needed to do. So while he gathered you guys in the nursery to await uncle Jin’s portal, I fought this intruder but he made the mistake to tell me his motive.” She choked up a bit, trying to keep her composure “He said that he wanted to take my children and I away for quirk experiments. That they were going through the quirk registry of the country of double quirked citizens, us first, then the Todoroki family. That didn’t sit with me, I fought even harder but I pushed myself too hard and ended up face down and backed into my doom. I closed my eyes coming into to terms that this was it but at least my family is safe. But then I heard your little voice shout for the intruder to get away from me, and I shot up to use the last of my energy to protect you. But it didn’t matter what I did, you defeated them with your awakened quirk, I just finished the job with a shot to the spine to cripple them.” She took a deep breath “I saw that you were going into catatonic state, so I picked you up and held you, staggering my way to the nursery with everyone else for the portal.”
“You’re alive because of me?” I realized.
“Yes mijo, and I’m so thankful that you did. I couldn’t imagine a life where my children lived without their mother and only with a father that knows nothing about raising four very rowdy kids.” Her body curled around me “I informed the commission of the breach and everything got tighter security. I took an extra step and put the protected status on all of my children. Everyone on the Japan data base with a double quirk was advised to do the same or choose one quirk to have on the registry. But you’re just like me in a way.”
“How?”
“You rose to the occasion and fought to protect the ones you loved, even if the chances of losing were high. And at the end, you won but life will never be the same and you live with the trauma of that day everyday.” She answered “Now you’re stronger, smarter and still have your loved ones around you...history repeated itself.”
“Damn, it do be like that huh?” That part blew my mind.
“Yea, but now all I wanna do is continue this nap” she closed her eyes again “Stay awhile longer Iwata, if we pretend to be asleep when dad comes home, he has to cook dinner.”
“Okay” I chuckled and closed my eyes “I’ll stay.”
I was no longer conflicted about my thoughts on my mom. She’s incredible and loves her family so immensely! She isn’t an empress, she’s divinity, love reincarnate. My wish is to feel that much love someday, maybe I will when I have a family of my own.
-3 days before returning to the dorms-
“How are you holding up chief?” asked Hoshi as he came outside to where I was “Last day of punishment training eh?”
I was face down on my trampoline that I jumped onto because there was a layer of snow on it and my body felt like it was on fire “Yea, and I want to die.”
“Bet” He chuckled as they sat on the rim of the trampoline “I brought berry tart for some cafecito with the fam.”
“Ooh that sounds lit” I lifted my head up, savoring that cup of hot coffee with dessert “Are you staying over today then? Lili won’t be back until dinner time.”
“Oh I know, Lili doesn’t know I’m here” he gave me a look “I don’t plan on sticking around too long, I just came to drop off the invite to my dad’s wedding and some...other news.”
I squinted my eyes in suspicion “What other news Hoshi?”
“You’ll see over some cafecito” He kept tight lipped.
“Ugh fine!” I put my head back down. I hate it when I get those responses!
Mom finally came home and Hoshi set the table for a cafecito. He even made the coffee so we could all sit down at the same time.
“Okay now that I have everyone I wanted to talk to here” spoke up Hoshi as we were eating our slice of tart “You’re probably wondering why I gathered everyone here.”
“No” blurted Hanaka.
“Because you fucked up” blurted Tensei.
“You got a job?” blurted Mom.
“You’re getting top surgery?” I blurted.
“Oh! It’s because you’re graduating early in the spring?” Dad blurted with an arm chop.
“What? NO!” He said to disarm us “I don’t know what I was expecting from such an outspoken family! But I gathered everyone here because” he took a deep breath and just broke out in a deep blush and grin “Wow this is harder than I thought it was gonna be! Heh, I was hoping to ummm” He looked at our awaiting faces “Hoping if I’d get your blessing to marry Lili, because you’re all so good to me that I want to take the family name. Do you accept this trans-boy as your future-son/brother-in-law?”
The whole table was in silent shock...until Tensei spoke up.
“Imma say it” he forewarned “It’s about fuckin’ finally Hoshi, the family name is unexpected tho.”
“Oh Hoshi! Of course you have our blessing!” Mom said as she hopped up to give Hoshi a hug “But I have to agree with Tensei, it’s been long awaited, huh Tenya?”
Everyone looked over to dad, tears pouring down like waterfalls “Oh my baby is gonna get married! She’s growing up too fast” he blew his nose on his table napkin “I approve and just so happy for you two! It feels like last year she was still screaming to welcome me home from work, and last week like she just entered high school.”
“Oh babe, don’t cry” Mom comforted “you’re embarrassing the kids.”
“Seriously daddy, put the water works away!” huffed Hanaka “Every time we do anything new you start crying!”
“I can’t help it! I didn’t think I’d get to see the day my children get married!” Dad wipes his tears “Someday you’ll understand when you have kids of your own.”
And so we spent the rest of our time together prying details from Hoshi on when and where will be the proposal. He said he’ll wait until they both finish school because he recently got in touch with his mother’s estranged family and found out that there was some inheritance waiting for him and his brothers. So no matter if they get jobs out of college right away or not, they can live off the inheritance comfortably for a good 3 or so years. Good on them! Maybe thats what I’ll do with my money...what’s with this family and inheritance?
-Day of returning to the dorms-
I pack my bag and savor the last of moments of home comforts. I really didn’t want to go back to the dorms but I still need to take my hero final.
“OwO r u decent?” chirped Hanaka from the door “Hewwo? Mr. Obama? May I come in?”
I sigh tiredly “No, pewish.”
“Too bad we’re coming in anyways” Lili said before busting in like Big Bird in that one meme video.
“WHY CAN’T YOU TWO JUST OPEN THE DOOR LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE?!” yelled Tensei from his side of the room, arm chopping “THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED!”
“Ugh shut up DAD!” said the girls in unison, mocking the arm chop.
“Why tho?” I asked, hand on my hip “I need to finish packing.”
“We just wanted to do one last thing before you go!” Hanaka said bouncing up and down.
“I’m not dying guys! We’ll see each other in like 2 weeks for the Welcome Estate Ball” I turned back to my packing “What’s so important that can’t wait until-”
“Iwa look out!” warned Tensei.
I looked back to see the girls mid pounce, giving me just enough time to zip toward the door “Thanks Tensei!”
“Don’t try to escape the dog pile Iwa!” taunted the girls, eyes locked back onto me “It is futile!”
“Save yourself!” Tensei stood in the way of the girls with arms out.
“No! Don’t sacrifice yourself foo!”
“I have already excepted my fate as bottom of the pile” said the little brother as the girls picked themselves up “GO!”
I nod and dash out of our room to escape the dreaded dog pile. Since we were kids, we did these really full contact contests to see who ends up on the bottom of the dog pile. It was fun at first but now we run in fear at the sight of a pounce! Anything goes in this game! We use quirks, fists, throw objects, use distractions...but the moment mom stops everything, it’s game over. I just gotta run outside and get mom to insure game over!
Lili does a front rocket flip to stop me from running to the front yard “You’re not going anywhere Iwee!”
“When the hell did you learn that move?!” I was semi-impressed but still in fear for my life “that was clean as fuck!”
“OOOOOOO! You cursed!” Hanaka called out from the stairs “I’m telling daddy!”
“You little snitch! You wouldn’t dare!” I gasped.
“Watch me! Here, catch Tensei real quick” she said before tossing her twin over the railing, then parkour’d down the stairs to the backyard.
I couldn’t let Tensei just fall like that, so I caught him with my telekinesis before he could hit the ground. But I made the mistake of turning my back on Lili.
“Got cha- oof!” Lili got sight teleported by Tensei.
“Go get mom!” said Tensei before slumping over “I’m done for, they gave me a mad ass wedgie.”
“I’ll avenge you brother!” I did my dramatics before running toward the front door again.
The front door opened “Sopresa puto! It’s me!” Hanaka said as she ran full speed “fell right into my trap!”
I didn’t have time to stop, both of us were going top speed! So we crashed into each other, followed by Tensei that got in the way to soften the fall, then Lili that was in the right place at the wrong time.
“I heard a thud and some Spanish cursing! What’s going on-” said dad as he opened the sliding door from the back yard, poor timing as he got bodied by the four body mass going a full speed. We all slammed onto the just defrosted grass that dad finished doing.
“Oh shit dad are you okay?!” asked Lili.
“This takes me back” groaned Dad with a smile “you kids would always dog pile onto me every time I was laying down in the living room when you were little kids.” he chuckled “No so little now! That knocked the wind out of me.”
“Tenya, is everything okay back there?” asked Mom as she came though the side gate “I heard some- phfffff!” she started laughing “Look at you guys! Piled onto dad like that!” She levitated us off one by one “One last house mischief huh?”
“Yea, we haven’t done all of the winter break antics” grunted Hanaka as she got peeled off me “And I really wanted to spend more time with everyone! Tensei doesn’t wanna always play with me, even if I ask nicely.”
“I’m busy with my band and debate competition cases! We can’t play arson all the time” Tensei defended himself “Are you forgetting that we start middle school in a few days?! It’s time we get a little more serious with our education.”
“Oh wow it’s like listening to a recording” giggled Mom, setting us down on our feet “Your dad would say that last line all the time when we were in high school! It sent me back to those days” she sighed lovingly and turned to face Dad “Remember those times when everyone teased you for calling me up to explain strategy homework?”
Dad turned red and fixed his glasses “It was a difficult subject! I was just doing everyone a favor by asking you to come over to tutor us.”
Lili caught on to his body language “Oh I get it~ You say it’s for ‘tutoring’ but you did it as an excuse to spend more time with Mom” she did her little smug face with arms crossed “You had a big dumb crush on her, didn’t you dad?”
“I- well- I didn’t know how else to spend the maximized amount of time with her” He turned even brighter red and cleared his throat “She was intelligent, charming and super talented. How could I not develop feelings? If only I wasn’t such a coward and confessed when I wanted too, things could’ve been so much different.”
“It’s true, but those what if’s don’t matter anymore” Mom smiled “because we’ve exceeded our wishes and daydreams.” She turned to us “Now, lets get back to what we were doing! Iwata has to leave soon and I don’t want to keep the staff waiting on him all day.”
I go back to finishing up my packing, now with all my siblings in the room on their crackhead shit. When I took my bags down to the driveway, they didn’t want me to leave. And of course Mom had to pry them off me so I can get in the car in peace. The drive with my dad was calm.
“Hey dad” I asked as we stopped at the first light “Did you really pick a fight with Mr Hitoshi over mom?”
“I did” Dad said with a hint of regret “I wasn’t proud of what I did, but I didn’t know how else to express my hurt feelings. Your mom hailed me as her chosen family and I wanted to always be by her side, through whatever life had in store.” We move again “Imagine my hurt when she hid her relationship and shared living situation from me, only finding out by chance. And it was a stupid thing to do, I pushed her away even though I very much still loved her. But we all made up before the wedding and I’m close friends with Mr Hitoshi and Nieto. We go on double dates and other couple things with them, it’s so much fun.”
I thought about my next question carefully “If mom did have a child when you reunited with her, what would you do?”
“Funny enough, I thought about it before I reunited with her” Dad smiled “I was willing to help her raise a child. I’d babysit, teach them things, tuck them into bed... everything a parent would do. I wanted to show your mom I’m capable of providing and nurture, I really wanted to be as much as a man as I could be for her.”
“Did you show her all that?”
Dad chuckled “I didn’t have to try very hard! She had forgiven me way before we reunited and revealed to me that she had always had feelings for me” We turn into the final stretch of street before the dorms “But it felt so lovely to finally say it and have them reciprocate the feeling. I knew from then on, I’d never let her go and be outward with my feelings. Everyday I wake up next to her and think about how much I don’t deserve such an incredible woman nor the family that we made” he looked at me “But I guess I’m worth it.”
“Even if we’re disobedient, rowdy, weird pieces of shit?!”
“Yes, because life would be boring with out all those traits to balance my traits out!” Dad turns into the dorm parking lot “Well Iwata, you really threw us in a loop this winter break. Do your best on your make ups.”
I look at the dorms and take a deep breath “I’ll do my best, thanks dad.”
I waved him off until he was out of sight, then I took my bags into my dorm. Nobody was back yet in my class, mainly because our winter training was canceled due to the villain attacks back in September. I put all my things away and see the empty bed in my dorm. It made me miss Beizu, we’ve never been separated like this before. It’s about 2:45pm and I couldn’t delay my test any longer, to the hero dorms I go!
“Iwata! So nice to see you back in one piece!” beamed Mineta sensei.
I cringed “Don’t tell me my mom told you what happened.”
“No your dad did” Sensei corrected me “I have to say, never did I think it would be you to push it too far. But your dad did the same thing when we were in high school” He hands me the written exam “Alright, take your time on this.”
The written exam wasn’t too bad and I got it done in under an hour. I was excused for the day because the physical part of the exam was going to take place in one of the practice gyms at school in 2 days. Before I could leave to my dorms, the usual clowns saw me.
“Yo Iida-kun!” greeted Gon “You’re back so soon?!”
“Yup, had to take my exams that I missed”
“I heard what happened to your relative” Kage said worried “Are you alright? Sorry about your loss.”
“We’re good, I just had to help with the arrangements” I said relieved that they didn’t know about the other shit “I learned a lot about family this break.”
We went in Gon’s room to chat “...so are you going to take the hero licensing this year?”
“I guess so? But it’s not like I’m going to see you guys there” I responded “Everyone has their license right?”
“No, three people didn’t pass” said Kage “So they’ll be joining you on that.”
“Does that mean you’ll be in the sports festival too?!” Gon jumped excitedly.
“I’m still not sure” I gestured to have him calm down “I don’t want to do an internship for hero work and I don’t want to be on the scope for these villains. And don’t act like that’s not the reason why y’all get attacked on the regular!”
“I guess you have some reasoning there” Gon pondered my words “But imagine you kicking ass out there?! You’d easily get in the top 3!”
“Yeah Iida-kun! You’re one of the strongest ones in the class!” Kage joined in on the hype “At least think about it.”
I looked at the two and slumped in my bean bag chair “Ugh fine I’ll think about it!” I groaned “Still gotta figure myself out though.”
“Like what?” asked the two in sync.
“I’m thinking about getting a support item for my legs” I pointed at my shins “Even after all this training, I still can’t get my legs to keep up with the kick of my arm engines!”
“That would be helpful” Kage looked over my arms “Still can’t believe you haven’t figured it out.”
-Fast forward, afternoon of the Welcome Estate Ball-
“...Your tuxedo Iwata-chan.” said a butler as he draped the formal wear on the bed “Anything else you might need before I go?”
“Thank you, that’ll be all!” I said carefully, not to sound too aggressive.
To tell the truth I’m freaking out about all this! It feels like I’m a prince or something and I’m about to get coronated. Thankfully Beizu agreed to come with me to the estate to take the edge off and be moral support.
“That bath is no joke! Like damn bitch you can live like this?!” Beizu said as he got out of the joint bathroom in a robe in my estate quarters “Ooh! The champagne and snacks are here!”
“Bei I’m freaking out!” I slam myself onto the bed “I’m no rich boy, I’m on this ironic lucky streak that’s becoming my literal nightmare!”
Beizu walks over to me with two glasses in his hand “Iwa, it’s not like you’re pretending that you own everything! Nobody hates you and you just gotta be yourself, as corny as that sounds, it’s true” he hovers the glass of champagne over my face “Lets get a little loose before we have to go socialize with your family.”
All my worries took backseat “Okay a few drinks, I don’t want to puke and embarrass my uncle.”
“To inheritance!” Beizu toasted as I sat up “May you live comfortably the rest of your life!”
I toasted and really thought about those words. Yeah I am going to live comfortably but I also want Beizu to be part of that lifestyle too. In between getting whisked into conversations and having to order servants, I try to get some quality time in with Beizu. Yeah we dorm together but school is kicking our butts and we hardly have time for the usual hanging out. Finally there was a moment where we slipped away into the Lineage Hall for some peace and quiet.
“Wow, look at all the portraits” gasped Beizu “Fucked up eyebrows do run in the family!”
“Right?! Glad my mom has stronger, pretty genes” I chuckled as I led Beizu by the hand “This way! I want to show you something.” All the way at the end was four plaques “Here’s were my portrait will someday hang, alongside my siblings!”
“That’s so cool! When are you going to get yours done?” asked Beizu, taking a closer look at my plaque.
“I want to get mine done when I get married, ya know, so I can have couples portrait” I get a little choked up on my words and blurted “Hey Bei, would you be down to get married at 25 with me, if we’re both still single by then?”
Beizu froze and slowly turned to me, face flushed beet red “Wha?! You want to marry me?!”
“Why not? I trust you and I don’t care what others will say about it” I bring our hands together “Maybe it’s all the alcohol in me, but I want you to take part in these riches with me. You said you’d marry me when I told you how much I inherited, you might’ve been joking around but I mean it! Won’t you be part of my family and riches?”
Beizu pursed his lips to give it a thought “I’ll do it BUT I’M GOING TO HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE IWATA EL ROCA IIDA!” he posed and pointed at my nose “If by the time of the stroke of midnight on your 25th birthday and theres no ring on my finger, I’m going to propose in the most extra way that you’ll have to say yes.”
“Deal, I trust you’ll keep me accountable” I pulled them in for a hug “I don’t ever want to go through life without you.”
He brought his hands around my waist “That’s my line, silly” Beizu laughed as he rest his head on my shoulder “I don’t want to go through life without you too.”
We walk down the hall after our little moment to see my little brother having what looks like a mental breakdown. And just outside the window of the hall, in plain view, my parents were really going at it with the making out. It was just so weird looking at them making out like that when Beizu and I spent most of our first year of high school peeking into young mom’s romps with other boys. As for little bro Tensei, I’m sure it’s fine and he’s not on the brink of anything! He’s just a boy after all. Shiet, I’d breakdown if Hanaka was my twin sister too. Beizu and I just minded our business and re-joined the others in the main hall to drink a little more. I hope for more moments like these, then maybe life wouldn’t suck so bad.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 3]
New? Read here! Then here!
Part 1 - Part 2
Chapter 10.75: It’s Vinegar- Wha?- It’s Vinegar, Pussy
I’ve been taking notice of the servants, they all have distinct features and some of them seem to serve a particular family member when they come around. Which leads me to think that this servant that took the picture probably knows the most about the house. From what I remember from the hologram, this servant is male presenting with light skin, sun spots, salt and pepper hair with a very pronounced nose. Problem is, I haven’t seen him.
I had some afternoon tea by myself in the parlor as uncle Tensei did some calls to our extended family. Usually I hate having tea time, because it makes me feel like a pompous piece of shit rich boy and I prefer coffee anyways. But I took the tea this time to observe the servants. I learned that they all gather in the kitchen at 8pm to gossip before the non-live in servants have to leave for the day. So I snuck down to the kitchen to listen in.
“...Can you believe I served afternoon tea again! Ugh, when will I forget he’s dead now?!”
“I saw, nice save that you served it to Iwata-chan.”
“Man that kid beefed up! He used to be so timid and never show his power. But I saw the way he levitated those antiques with ease, kid is like his mother.”
“Maybe we’ll get to see more of the family now that he’s dead?! The mother is just so pleasant to be around.”
“Too bad Thad-kun won’t be here to see them spend more time at the estate. He loved Itati-sama and Tenya-sama.”
I peeked my head in “Who’s Thad-kun?”
The staff yelped and jumped at my sudden appearance.
“Sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you!” I bowed in forgiveness “But I couldn’t help but to overhear that there’s a servant that isn’t here anymore?”
“Yes, Thaddeus was one of the oldest servants here” spoke one of the female servants “he was the previous head of estate’s favorite servant, from Thad’s record, he was about 20 when the previous head of estate inherited the estate. Since then, Thad was in service of him and only him.”
“Yea, Thad-kun passed two years ago of the flu in his private quarters” spoke one of the chefs “Poor man didn’t have any family or children, just spent his whole life serving the Iida family. But he adored all the family that married in and the children, he took pictures of all the children when they’re newborns and puts them in this scrapbook.”
“Oh yea the scrapbook! Pretty sure it’s in the parlor bookcase” chimed in a younger servant “We hid it from the old head of estate, we were scared that he might destroy it or something. Anything to preserve the memory of our friend.”
“Yup, all of us feared that old man. But Thad-kun knew how to calm him and never missed a single tea time” said the chef “We have his journal in the parlor book case as well. There’s notes on what that old man liked in case he wasn’t around to serve him and we dip into it when anything comes up.”
“Hmm, I just might crack into them” I pondered “Thank you for sharing! Sorry for interrupting again, I’ll be taking my leave.”
“Any time Iwata-chan!” said all the staff as they waved bye to me.
I float my way to the parlor, trying to not make noise to catch the attention of my uncle or the other servants that have night duties. I search through the books to find an old green leather photo album and a worn black journal. I took the books to my room to look them over, the album had so many pictures of couples and babies with their names neatly written underneath the photo. It was so organized that I could trace back to who was my great-grand father! Apparently I came from a side branch family and that theres 4 branch families and one main, but the main family didn’t marry and had children to maintain lineage. So great grand uncle was the last one of the main family. I only know of one other branch family, the other two are a mystery to me. Getting to the end of the album, I put it to the side and opened up the journal. I get to an interesting part that reads:
March 14th,
I helped Iida-sama take down portraits in the Lineage Hall. He’s asked me to burn them but I don’t have the heart to do so. When he left for work, I hid them in the West wing linens closet. I can only hope he will forgive me someday. Erasing these people and only keeping the heroes this family is the work of a tyrant! Mothers, daughters and non-engine sons are to be celebrated with their hero relatives. May the next heir see the light and I’ll unearth the family hidden history.
The west wing linens closet?! Such a place exists?
-The next day-
“Tio, what’s the agenda for today?” I asked after breakfast.
“Today I’m going to check in with the agency on the phone” responded Uncle Tensei “then talk to the gardeners, then we plan for a welcome ball.”
“Oh uhhhhh can any of those things wait until tomorrow?” I got timid over the full schedule of things “because I found an important clue regarding the portraits.”
Uncle Tensei looked at me with intensity “The agency can wait, show me what you found.”
I showed them the journal entry “...so do you know wheres that linens closet?”
“Hmmm the West wing is used to store the decorative pieces of the estate for Balls or other events” pondered Tensei “Nobody in the family would think of finding something that important there since it’s a servant accessible area...”
We looked at each other and activated our arm engines to zip to the west wing. It was like we shared the singular brain cell at that moment and it was telling us to stop being civil and zoom. And sure enough, there was the portraits! Still in excellent condition and in their original frames. There were some without frames and they were portraits of the women that married in the family in the recent decades, the most recent one was of my mom. I looked at the portrait and was stunted by the artist’s capture of her natural beauty. The way they painted the flower crown and her curls, the exact shade of medium tan skin, the detail of the rebozo on her shoulders and the crisp white of the traditional dress. She was so young in this portrait and it made me wonder when this was taken.
“Oh my I remember when this one was painted” chuckled Uncle Tensei as he caught me gawking at the painting “Your dad had this arranged for your mom’s 24th birthday, months before they got married. These are usually done with traditional wear and since your mom isn’t Japanese, she showed up in that dress and shawl. All the women in the family were fawning over how beautiful her traditional dress was. The artist was so inspired by the flowers in her hair that he had he pose in the garden, making her portrait the only one painted in an outside setting.”
“Wow, she had that type of power over others huh?” I said in awe.
“She didn’t want to at first but the family painter convinced her that she was already the first ethnic woman to marry into the family, may as well make the portrait as unique as possible” a frown slowly crept onto his face “But then great grand uncle wanted the portrait scraped because she wasn’t in kimono and that she looked unkept with her down down and no makeup. Honestly, I feel like he didn’t want Tenya to marry her because of her ethnicity but turned a blind eye on that because she was a CEO and wanted to asset the company. Your dad had this whole plan to make a garden for your mother to frolic in when he gets the estate, with lots of flowers and fruit trees OH and the lily pond! It was going to take up like half of that empty lawn space in the middle.”
I looked at the portrait “So much fuss over this woman.”
“But she was worth it. Look at all the things she contributed to the family!” He started to describe “She doesn’t see it but she’s a blessing to us. We needed someone outspoken and bold to challenge great grand uncle’s tyrannic ways.”
That stayed with me for the rest of my time at the estate. I didn’t know what to think of my mom anymore, yes she’s amazing but she kept an important part of history from me and who know who else?! Finally, after 6 days of tolerating it, I was able to go home! And just in time! It’s the day before Christmas Eve and Lili is flying in today.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to drive you home?” asked Uncle Tensei as I take my bags to the front door “I don’t have any business to attend to today.”
“Naw Tio, I’m good” I sigh tiredly “I’m just a little sick of spending time together like this, as much as I love you as my uncle” I float my bags “I just wanna go home on my own and reflect on things.”
“I understand, every young man needs their time alone” Tensei smiled warmly “Have a safe journey home, see you in a few days.”
I wave good bye “Bye bye tio!” I turn my head to the servants that gathered around “Bye bye everyone else! Thank you for helping me find the critical clue in the portrait mystery!”
Everyone bid me good bye and safe travel until I was out of sight. From there I took a short train trip and two buses home, picking up a few interesting things along the way that I could gift. In total, it took about 3 hours to get home. Whole time I was just thinking of the ways I was going to confront mom about what I learned. The ways I could say how I feel, the ways she might react...I don’t know what to expect! And I’m super nervous. I stood at the front door for maybe 5 minutes because of how nervous I was! Finally mustering the courage to open the door with my eyes closed, the air of baked goods hit me first.
“I’m home” I announced myself, holding my breath to whoever answers.
“Iwata, you’re home” yipped the robo dog as it trots into view “Did you know it’s been 222 days since you’ve last been home?! I missed you very much and so has everyone else.”
I bent down to pet them “Has it? It feels longer than that” I booped their nose “I missed you too boy.”
“Mom is in the kitchen, Dad is picking up Lili at the airport, Hanaka is at her friend’s house and Tensei is practicing with their group” listed the robo “Everyone should be home before 7pm for dinner...it is now half past 4.”
I look at the clock thats mounted at the entrance to confirm the time, then looked down at the shoes. Mom’s were there in their usual spot and I kicked off mine in their usual spot. Now it feels like I’m home. I slowly made my way to the kitchen, and there she was, taking cookies out of the oven in her iconic floral apron.
“Mom? I’m home.”
“OH! Iwata! I didn’t hear you come in!” Mom squealed before setting down the hot tray to embrace me “I thought your were coming home tomorrow?!”
“Nah I’m sick of looking at Tio and doing rich people things” I gagged to drive my point “I left late morning and took public transport. I just really wanted to come home.”
“I understand mijo, I probably would’ve done the same” she pursed her lips and placed her hand on my face “Why don’t you settle back in? I’ll have some food ready for you if you’re hungry.”
My stomach growled in comedic timing “Heh, okay. I’ll go do that.”
My side of the room stayed untouched, as expected. Tensei was a good boy and doesn’t go through my things. I slammed myself face first into my bed and screamed into my pillow. GOD I missed my bed and the comforts of home! As I unpacked, I remembered what I was going to do and dreaded having to bring it up in casual conversation with her. I hid the device in my closet shelf, away from Hanaka’s prying eyes. When I finally showed myself downstairs, mom had my plate of food ready at my spot on the nook.
“How was things at the estate? Tensei hasn’t told me much other than it’s been busy.” Mom said as she washed her hands “Oh that reminds me! The school called tell me that you missed some finals and they’re letting you make them up the weekend before school resumes.”
I sat down “Things were weird mom. I learned way more than I asked for” I sighed and picked up my fork “I never want to be that rich and be without family! Did you know that the oldest butler hid the family portraits that the old man took down?! I didn’t know you had a portrait done with them.”
“You found it?! I thought that old man for sure destroyed it!” gasped Mom “It was a beautiful painting and a very sentimental art piece to your father. He wanted to keep it if the old man didn’t approve it to be hung in the estate, but before he could ask, it was gone! Or so we were told by the artist.” She sat at her spot to listen to me “What else?”
In between bites of chilaquiles, I told her of my time and who I spoke to. I tried to bring up what I wanted to confront to her about, but that look in her eyes and all her attention made me want more of her...I missed my mom and I as torn between all my emotions I was feeling. Wish I didn’t have to do this. Everyone came home and we were finally a full house. It felt so good to be in their company again, I didn’t even mind all the smothering this time! Suppose the confrontation has to wait.
-The next day, at breakfast-
“Damn B, it’s just spam and eggs with toast” said the twins, looking at Lili and me have a breakdown over our food.
Lili wipes her eyes “I KNOW! I have to cook for myself every meal” she pointed at her toast “I have to wake up at 6 in the god forsaken morning so I can buy bread like a peasant woman because there isn’t any chain grocery stores where I live in France!”
“I haven’t had a single decent meal since I lived in the dorms” I held my toast up gently “F in the chat for the toaster in the dorms that Beizu tore apart for parts in August.”
Lili held her toast up with me “F”
“Yall are so fucking weird” Hanaka said with a groan “You don’t see Oro and I do this shit.”
“Don’t make fun of your older siblings” scolded Dad with an arm chop “They’ve had a tough time being away from home. You’d understand once you have to cook for yourself everyday.”
“ANYWAYS! Mom, who’s coming tonight?” cut in Tensei.
“Oh ummm, Mr Hitoshi and his husband. Aunty Mimi with Nikita, uncle Jin, Mei and Beizu, Mr Tokoyami and Petti, the Ojiros” listed Mom “Aunty Midnight, Hoshi and the Midoriyas. So more people than usual.”
“Aw abuela and abuelito aren’t coming this year?” responded Tensei with a pout.
“They’re coming for abuelita’s birthday, so don’t get all pouty mijo” assured Mom “But after breakfast, we gotta get our butts in clean mode because Mr Hitoshi and his husband are coming at 3pm, they’re dropping the kids off at their grandparent’s then coming straight here.”
And so I got back into the swing of things, my winter chore is cleaning the bathrooms and making sure they’re fully stocked with toiletries. I was done before our first guests were supposed to come, so my mind raced with how I was going to talk to mom as I showered.
“You decent?” knocked Lili at my door.
“Yea, come in” I said as I was drying my hair “What’s poppin’?”
She threw her arms around me and squeezed me “I just wanted to come in and hug you” she pinched my arms “Damn boy, UA beefed you up! I couldn’t tell under your baggy sweaters.” She laughed “But forrealzies, how much did you inherit?”
“Straight to the point huh?” I leaned in to her ear “2 million dollars and all the old man’s collectables.”
“Shut the fuck up!” gasped Lili “So you and tio were the only ones on the will?! That’s pretty wack, I’m the oldest and dad is literally that man’s family!”
I sighed “It’s complicated but I’ll say that it all has to do with mom.”
“Damn, but what are you going to do with the money?” asked Lili curiously.
“Might buy myself a house and go to college, or save it if I get a really good job out of high school.” I flop onto my bed “Lili, do you ever feel like mom has been hiding something from you?”
“Yea, it’s a given.”
I turn my head to face her “Wait what?”
“It’s a given. I’m sure mom hid things from us to protect us or because it’s none of our business” She responded “She’s a reasonable person, maybe she’ll tell us eventually when she’s ready to tell us. I’ve been curious of mom too when I was in high school. Nothing made sense and I felt like maybe I wasn’t going down the right path, so I asked her what she did and it opened up her past. After that conversation, I had more respect for her and felt like I can be more open to her about what I’m curious about.”
“Do you think she’ll answer me if I ask her something?” I felt my stomach tie itself into knots “I learned so much about her from other people that I’m not sure if we know the same person.”
Lili put her hand on my back “She’s our mom, no matter what, she’ll love us.”
That made me feel so much better about what I was about to do. I took my calming breaths at the base of the stairs before facing mom in the living room. She was having some down time after slaving over the pot of Pozolé and Ponché, her face still red from the heat of the pots.
“Hey mom, ummm mind if I ask you something?”
“Sure mijo is everything okay?” responded Mom as I sat down in the arm chair adjacent from the couch “You seem kind of stiff.”
“I’m just nervous” I responded “I just... I learned alot of things about you these past months. And I have so many questions that I’m afraid of knowing the answers too.”
“What is it? You can ask me anything” Mom said, looking attentively “You have my full attention.”
It hurt to see her like this, especially with what I had to say.
“Why did you hide about the death of Beizu Iwata?” I asked, looking at her dead in the eye.
Her face didn’t budge from her expression “I didn’t? His death is public information-”
“Stop LYING TO ME!” I yelled “You know what I mean! He was Bei’s dad and you couldn’t save him, and you’re guilty of your incompetence so you had me to give his son a friend. And that’s my purpose isn’t it?! I’m just some living plaything!”
“Iwata why would you say such a thing! I didn’t-”
“SHUT UP I’M NOT DONE TALKING!” I raised my voice “You named me after him, I’m here to just fix your mistake aren’t I? And what about your lovechild with Mr Hitoshi?! Oh and not to mention on why you came over here alone at 15 years old!” I felt myself become tense in this mix of rage and the verge of tears “It’s like I don’t even know you! WHO ARE YOU?!” I felt the hot tears run down my face “and why are things so complicated?”
Mom was white as a ghost and frozen on the couch. And my yelling got the attention of my dad.
“Iwata El Roca Iida! What is the meaning of this!” demanded Dad as he approached us “You dare to yell at your mother in that tone?! What has gotten into you? I-”
Mom held her hand up, commanding dad to stop talking. She then got up, stood in front of me and got on her knees for the deep bow. I’ve never seen her do this before and I got scared.
“I’m sorry Iwata, please forgive me for all my mistakes” she lifted her head to show the tears creeping down her face “I know I’m not a perfect mother and I’m a very flawed human with a very troubled past, but please let me explain things.” She took a deep breath to stabilize her breathing “I named you after Beizu Iwata, he’s one of the few people that I trusted to run the company. He poured his everything into the company and I wouldn’t be as successful without him. His death devastated me, I chased after him when he ran back inside the burning building. When I begged him to get to safety and to leave everything behind, he looked at me and touched my stomach before breaking the 6th floor window to throw me out with a box in my arms. Of course somebody caught me before my body reached the ground and he reappeared a few minutes later. After his death, I learned that I was 2 months pregnant with you, he saved both of us mijo. If I stayed any longer, I risked losing you and I don’t think my heart could take another infant death.”
“Another infant death?” my eye widened “No, don’t tell me-”
“I’m afraid so” She tried really hard not to lose her composure “I lost my first baby that I had with Mr Hitoshi, I wanted to have them so badly. You don’t know how much it hurts to not have a family when you still need them, so you make your own. But it hurts even more when you lose the family you failed to build.”
“Ita, please stand up” gently begged Dad, on the verge of tears “Please love, you don’t have to re-live the trauma. It’s okay.”
“No Tenya, I have to say it. How will we move forward if I don’t say what happened in the past?” She couldn’t look at us and kept her head down to face her lap “I came here to protect my family...” She told me the whole story of what happened in America and her decision that changed her life forever “...And that’s my burden to bear. I wish things didn’t have to be like this and I could be with my family and made my dreams come true back home. I dedicate my life to making sure nobody has to every go through what I went through unless it’s their decision.” She looked at me “I understand that you might not want to associate with me after all this, but just know that I love you so much. I wanted to have you, to nurture you, to teach you that you are free to be whoever you want to be, to love whomever you want” Her expression was full of pain, like it was bottled for years and it’s now surfaced “I know of all the bad things that could hurt you and I shouldn’t let one of them be me. And I’m sorry that I have.”
I felt like the villain, making my mom re-live her trauma and tell me she’s a bad mother. She’s not a bad person, she’s lived a life full of tragedy and we’re the one good thing that went right. And after all that, she still has the capacity to tell me she loves me? I really don’t deserve to be her son. I levitated her up and ran into her for a tight hug.
“I’m sorry” I sobbed “I didn’t know! And I feel awful! I just thought that maybe-”
“It’s okay baby” She shushed me, stroking my hair “No more bad feelings, no more deceit. If you want to know something, don’t bottle it up, just tell me and I won’t turn you away.”
“Okay mom” I held her tighter “I’m sorry I ruined Christmas.”
“You didn’t ruin Christmas Iwata” chuckled Mom through her tears “Your tia set the Christmas tree on fire when I was like, twelve, and it burned all the presents underneath it.”
“Never mind that actually sucks” I laughed, pulling away from her “Then is everything cool?”
“Hmmm, I wouldn’t say that” Mom said, giving me her iconic career ending face “I cleared up and explained myself, now it’s your turn.” She levitates me so I wouldn’t run “Care to explain your little academic double life?”
“Huh? What are you talk-” It hit me, she knows about my double program enrollment “Oooooh, oof.”
“We’ve known since June” Dad spoke up with his arms crossed “Nurse Eri told us when she called to discuss your health exam. We talked to the school to confirm, so theres no use in lying your way out of this one Iwata.”
I looked at my parents and sighed in defeat “Fine, I enrolled myself in the Hero and Intel course after your Great Grand Uncle told me he was going to pay for my tuition. So to spite him later, I was going to show him that I got both and decide to be an agent instead of a hero to break the streak of heroes in the family.” I felt like a trapped animal awaiting death “He insulted my family and I used my favoritism as my upper hand to get back at him that I am my mother’s son and so what?! Fuck that viejo and his hateful ass, I’m half latino!”
“You really are your mother’s son” said Dad in disbelief “It’s like looking at your mother when she was your age, same pettiness and pride!” He cleared his throat “But that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to punish you for lying to us on why you’re always stressed! You know better than to overwork yourself.”
“And on top of that, I had someone on the inside tell me about the device and the old school files” Mom added “So you peeked and meddled into my personal business ey?! And all you did was hurt yourself. We have no choice but to issue capital punishment to you AND Beizu.”
I gasped “You leave him out of this! He’s innocent!”
“Can’t do, he’s your accomplice” Mom pulled out her phone to show me texts “One of the perks of having friends that work in a school is that you have watchful eyes on your children at all times.”
“Damn you got us” at that moment, I knew I was about to hate my life.
“We’ll come up with a group punishment later, but we agreed that you’re to be sentenced to house arrest for the rest of the winter break” Mom crossed her arms “AND we’re taking away cursing privileges, starting now.”
I gasped “NOOOO! Anything but capital punishment!”
The doorbell rang, it was our first guests.
“Hey I brought- oh are we interrupting something?” Mr Hitoshi said walking into the living room.
“Not at all! Just issuing punishment” Mom puts me down and turns to the two men “Iwata was just talking about you Hitoshi!”
“Oh yea? About what?” chuckled the purple haired man as took a seat.
Mom motioned to me “Iwata, care to share with him?”
I gulped the guilt lump I had in my throat “I know about your and my mom’s baby and their death was the reason you left my mom.”
Mr Hitoshi’s face turned white “How did you- There’s no way!”
“He got real nosey and hurt his own feelings” Mom summarized it “Oh you brought the saké! Bring the cups out Tenya!”
“What else did you learn Iwata?” asked Mr Neito.
“I learned that you, um, did the deed with my mom” I cringed “Many times, in the dorms and a few times in the workrooms at school.”
“YOU WHAT?!” screamed Dad with a tray of specialty drink ware.
“Oh don’t act surprised Tenya!” Mom put her hands on her hips “It was totally obvious! I lost my virginity to him. And I rewarded him with intimacy after training and in turn, became a decent person.”
“Yup, sorry Tenya that you got my sloppy seconds” responded Mr Nieto unapologetically “But as I said at your wedding, good for you that you got a woman that can really spice things up.”
“I thought you meant that she’s a good cook!” Dad defended himself “Not that you two had a thing in the past?!”
“Join the club, I didn’t know either until she dropped off the wedding invite” Hitoshi said as he poured the saké “But I’ll drink to that!” He handed each of us a little cup of the alcohol and raised his glass “To Ita and her bomb pussy game, it was the one thing I missed the most.”
“Kampai!” cheered everyone but my dad and I.
I downed my cup and held it out again “Imma need another cup so I can forget that chief.”
I waited patiently for Beizu to come so I can hold his hand as we get flamed my our moms with the group punishment. And when he did, his face was puffy from crying and we just held each other for the brief moment we had before getting flamed. Our mom’s agreed that the group punishment was no sleepovers the entire break and one week of intense training with aunty Mimi. I didn’t know what to do, other than go up to my room with Beizu for blanket fort time.
“Iwa, we were so wrong about things” Beizu said softly as he put his head on my chest “but I’m happy it wasn’t that way. I couldn’t imagine a life without you, it’s the one thing I’m certain about.”
I smiled and stroked his hair “Me too, we’re two halves that can’t be left incomplete.” I thought about my inheritance “When we get older, would you go on a vacation with me or co-own a house with me?”
Beizu thought about it for a minute “Hmm, I’d co-own a house with you. Because then we can spend everyday with each other.”
“What if we do both?”
“Even better but I’m just thinking of all that money we’d need to do that” explained Beizu “the house is a better investment.”
“Okay, say I inherited 2 million dollars and I want to spend it on us, now what would you say?”
His eyes widen “You did not just inherited 2 million?!” Beizu was in disbelief “I’d probably just marry you at that point. Hell, lets get married right now!”
I laughed and brought him in for a hug “Let’s get married and spend all of our money on pillows and our favorite foods. Living easy for the rest of our lives.”
He held me tight “That’s my dream, to be with you forever.”
So maybe Christmas wasn’t ruined by me and I was just being latino-in-a-telenovela dramatic. I feel so much more like myself now. Year two of this shit is really happening!....wonder if it’s gonna rock my shit.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]
Beginning of Book 2
Read here to catch up!
Chapter 12: What Was the Reason?! WHAT WAS THE REASON?!
Currently, I’m about one bad interaction away from slapping the shit out of Toei. He’s improving but not in the areas I need him as a team. It’s July and we’re training at the USJ (aka, The Death Dome) again. Not too excited to be in the dome again.
“...and as for you two,” sensei stood in front of us, assigning areas “You’ll be in the rocky area with the non-quirked villain.”
I sighed as Toei got pumped “Oh boy! We’ll win this time!”
“Whatever you say chief” I was just feeling dead inside with all the easy assignments that Toei could barely survive.
“Miss Iida, can I talk to you for a quick moment?” asked sensei to pull me aside. “I know you’re not having the best time, I see it and I’m quite tired of this low ranking too with your ability. But this is the last one before the partner switch, if Toei doesn’t perform well, he’ll have to take the reevaluation exam. So please hang in there!”
That was some hot tea, I was taken back a bit “Will do sensei, I hope he’s better prepared this time.”
“Alright, that’s good to hear!”
I walk over to the rocky area with Toei, trying not to think of the fuck ups he might do. Instead I make sure my ribbon wands and silk obi were in place.
“Hey Iida-san!” Toei snapped me out of my concentration “If we win this one, I’ll take you out to some DDR at the arcade.”
I narrowed my eyes, knowing FULL well he’s gonna fuck it up “If I say yes, will you put in more effort to actually win?”
Our classmates within earshot reacted to that roast.
“That was ice-cold Iida-san!” “Oof she got you there buddy!” “YES BITCH! CALL HIS ASS OUT!” were some of the things they said.
That roast went over his head “I always put in the most effort! I’m confident that we’ll win and move up this time.”
We get to our zone and the enemy gives us no time to think. Immediately we were bombarded with rocks. I had to think fast!
“Okay Toei, if you can-”
“I’M GOING IN!”
“NO!” I screamed as I saw him Naruto run toward the villain on the higher ground “Damn it! Toei are you crazy?!”
“I got this!” He looked back at me, giving me that cocky smile and thumbs up.
I had two options, let him get rekt on his own so he can learn from his stupidity OR I go scoop him up and tell him my strategy. At first I sat and watched him struggle but then the villain brought out a stun gun and I KNEW that I had to go in for the rescue. I ran and jump high enough to get my ribbon lasso for the save. But at the same time, I got in direct line with the stun gun that was meant for Toei and I got a direct hit in my face. I blacked out after that...
-At a nearby hospital-
Lili was snatched out of the air before her body hit the ground by a USJ staff and was rushed to the hospital. Nobody is sure if that direct hit was lethal or not.
“Oh my baby” cried out her mother as she pushed through the nurses to get by Lili’s side “I was so worried that something like this could’ve happen! Why my baby? Why today!?”
“Be strong Ita” soothed Tenya, also trying to hold in his strong emotions “I’m upset too, but lets not cry yet.”
“Too late” whimpered Iwata as tears rolled down his face “is Lili gonna be okay?”
“Daddy, please tell me Lili is gonna wake up?” whimpered Hanaka, pulling at his sleeve.
“Lili, quit playin’! Wake up!” Oro begged as he shook his older sister’s leg “I can’t look at her like this, it’s so hard.”
Tenya didn’t know what to do or say, this environment was overwhelming him and he couldn’t stay strong. “I-...I don’t know” he managed to stammer as tears fall from his face “What can I do?! Nobody told me it was going to hurt like this! I just want my daughter to be okay.”
Her mother put her hand on Lili’s face “It seems like everything is normal, stun guns cause rapid brain activity. And she’s experiencing that.”
“I was just about to say that!” said the doctor “But it seems like you’ve caught on to the main diagnosis.”
“So what did you find?” Asked her mother.
“To make things brief, there’s no brain damage” explained the doctor as he put brain scans up on the light box for everyone to see “nor brain trauma, thankfully. But we are noticing that her brain is taking a while to readjust, so what will happen is that she’ll have mild amnesia” he sat on his padded stool “So don’t be too surprised if she doesn’t remember you right away, it will go away on it’s own but if you re-jog her memories or have trigger objects that’ll bring back her memories, the better.”
“What a relief” Tenya sighed and wiped his tears “She does take a while to recover from anything.”
“As soon as she wakes up, she’ll be discharged” responded the Doctor “She’s still young and strong, so recovery will be fast. I will warn for her to be more careful next time! She’s fortunate that the stun prongs pierced her shoulders and her mask deflected the other prongs that could’ve been much more lethal.” He stands up “I’ll be coming by again in an hour to check up on her.”
“Thank you doctor” responded Ita as the doctor walked away. She turns to the others “You heard him, she’ll be fine. Now we pray to the higher power for her fast recovery.”
“All Might?” blurted Tenya, serious faced.
“What? No! To GOD!” exasperated Ita “What the fuck is the spirit of All Might gonna do?! Detroit Smash from the spirit world to revive her?!”
“All Might’s spirit can suck my ass!” huffed Oro.
“He can suck a caterpillar dick!” Iwata added.
“Can we not slander All Might?!” chopped Tenya “Your sister is trying to re- HANAKA!”
“What? Oh is it a crime that I found the wheelchair?!” Hanaka sneered as she popped a wheelie.
Tenya pinched the bridge of his nose “This family is so chaotic, I can’t sometimes.”
“Remember when you said you wanted as many children as possible?” Ita sighed as she propped up her head with her hand “And how much you cried when they were born? Is it sinking in how much chaos you brought into this world and raised them?”
“I’ve been aware” he rubbed his temples as the two boys joined their little sister in wheelchair tricks “Curly hair and rebellion may be the dominate traits, but I still love them.” he sighed “Because they remind me so much of their mother, whom I love the most.”
“Aww babe” Ita cooed as she levitated the three kids, preventing them from speeding away with the wheelchair “Love you too!”
The family decided that they wanted their privacy and not have visitors. Instead, Tenya put it upon himself to watch over Lili until she wakes up. Ita had important matters to attend to for her company and Iwata was going to be taking care of things at home. Everyone was concerned for Lili’s well-being, sensei didn’t tell the class out of respect of her parent’s wishes. Pretty much only her immediate family and honorary family knew of her condition.
-3 days later-
“Lili, I’m back” softly spoke her father as he sat at the chair at her side “It’s Tuesday, so mom might swing by for a bit if she gets out early enough for visiting hours.”
At this point, Lili still hasn’t woken up nor moved. So Tenya has just been talking to her in hopes that she could hear him and wake up.
“You know, your mom was also hospitalized in 2nd year. And I feel all those worried feelings all over again.” He leaned on the railing of the hospital bed “I’d whisper my feelings to her and give her sweet kisses, like she’d wake up when I did.” He sighed and stroked her hair “Will today be the day you wake up? Everyone is getting awfully worried. But lets see if you like what I brought today.” He pulls out a book from his satchel “It’s one of your mom’s classic literature novels, Little Women. I read a book to your mom when she was like this and she remembered listening to me reading it” he opens the book “So maybe this might work too...ahem, Chapter one, "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug...”
He didn’t have to read too far into the book before Lili woke up. Eyes watering as the hospital lights were stinging to her eyes, she groaned as she stretched her body.
“Nnnh...thirsty” she hoarsely uttered.
Her dad quickly reached for the ice water on the tray “Here, drink slowly.”
She could barely see the cup and who was giving it to her, but she sat up to drink out of it. “Thank you” she said as she tried to rub her eyes and saw the IV connected to her “Am I, in the hospital?”
“Yes, do you remember anything?”
“I remember practicing in the yard for the summer showcase” she rubbed her eyes with the other hand “and that’s all...wait, did I pass out because of the heat?!”
“No...wait, do you recognize me?” carefully asked Tenya, trying not to scare her.
She looked at him and blinked “Yeah? You are my dad” she giggled “you’re my dad! BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE!”
Tenya breathed out, relieved “Oh you gave me a scare there!” he gets up “sit tight, I’ll get the doctor.”
She waits patiently, a little confused on why she was there in the first place. Her dad ran in before the doctor.
“Please Mr. Iida” panted the doctor “I’m a doctor, not an athlete!”
“Sorry! I was just excited” apologized Tenya “But look, she’s awake.”
The doctor gathered himself “Hello Miss Lili, how are you feeling today?”
“I’m feeling a little sore and woke up with extreme thirst” she explained “But otherwise, I’m okay.”
“That great to hear! Can you tell me your full name, age and your parent’s names?”
“Um sure? My name is Lili Perla Iida, I’m 15 years old and my parents are Tenya and Itati Iida.”
“Interesting, okay” the doctor muttered as he wrote something on his notes “Thank you, now I’m going to explain what’s going on...” The doctor explained that she was in a training accident and her diagnosis “...so while you might not remember everything right now, you will very quickly with the help of your family” he stands up “so, you’re free to go home and go back to school. Just be careful and I suggest a better head gear to prevent more accidents.”
“Thank you, I’ll be more careful” She said as the doctor left. “Dad, what did he mean by better head gear? Dance isn’t a contact sport.”
“I’ll explain more when we get home” he handed her a change of clothes “Here, your sister chose your outfit since you came in with your costume on.”
She change and got wheeled out of the hospital to go home. Lili sat in silence the whole way home, she recognized her dad’s car and the route home. But what’s missing from her memory?
“We’re home” announced Tenya.
“Welcome home Lili” yipped the robo dog “Mom told me you got hurt and I’m happy you’re home safe.”
“Doggie” she bend down to pet the robo “I remember you for sure!”
“LILI!” screamed the three younger siblings as they stampeded toward her.
“Hi” she managed to say before they group hugged her “huh? Since when did you guys...looked like this?”
“What do you mean?” they said in unison.
“I don’t remember Iwa wearing t-shirts this fitting?” she pointed out “And since when did you get boobs Rosa? And the fuck did you do to your hair Oro?!”
“Huh? I’ve been wearing proper wearing shirts since I started middle school” Iwa explained himself “wait, dad, did she forget years of memories?!”
“I’m afraid so” Tenya responded “She doesn’t remember anything from the last 3 years.”
“Oh fuck, so you don’t remember your friend?” Rosa asked her sister.
“Maru?” she asked “what about him?”
The four of them glared at her in shock.
“No, your other friend...from school” Iwa spoke up.
“I- don’t have friends from school?” she furrowed her brow “come to think of it, I don’t think I have any friends from dance academy either.”
Everyone look at each other, not knowing how to break it to her.
“Um, lets go sit at the couch and let me explain” Tenya said as they walked over to the living room “Okay, so things look a little different now because you’re not 15, you’re 17 about to be 18-”
“I’VE BEEN IN A COMA?!” screamed Lili.
“NO! You’ve been in the hospital for 3 days and you just have amnesia” her dad took control of the situation “I’ve been watching over you everyday in the hospital and the doctor explained that you just need to get your memories back. And we’re all here to help.”
“So...I’m in high school?” she asked and everyone nodded “And I have friends?”
“Lots of friends!” Her dad explained “you’ve gained the respect of so many and you have your own little dance circle where you Ki Ki.”
“I do?! Wow I sound like a cool kid” she giggled “Where do I go to school? Is it that private arts school in Shibuya?!”
“No...um you” Her dad put his hand on her hand “don’t scream but you attend UA and you’re in the hero department.”
“Oh...I see” she blinked and stood up “will you excuse me a quick moment?” Before anyone could say, she dashed to her room to look through her things. And she found her admittance letter along with all her rejection letters from the schools she applied to. She sat on her bed and tried to remember anything, but couldn’t, so she cried.
“Lili, it’s okay” Rosa said in the doorway “you wanted to go to UA, trained for it and everything” she slowly made her way next to her sister “you even got in without the recommendation of our parents! You went in to flip the script on what our family is known for and changed your ways to become a hero.”
“I wish I could remember” Lili wiped her tears “You guys say all this but nothing is coming back to me. This sucks!”
“Maybe mommy can help when she comes home from work” the little sister said as she tugged on Lili’s sleeve “come outside and eat oranges with us.”
“I am hungry” she stood up “okay, lets go.”
She spent the rest of the afternoon trying to distract herself from everything until her mom came home. Nothing seemed to spark anything until dinner.
“Lili? Are you alright?” her dad asked worriedly “You haven’t reached for the pizza.”
“I remember something” Lili replied, eyes wide “You upgraded my phone on a pizza night, at around Iwa’s birthday.” She looked her dad “If you say I am in high school, then I must have memories on my phone!”
“That could help, but mom has your phone for safe keeping” he answered as he served her a slice “You know how paranoid she gets when things happen in the family.”
“Guess I’ll have to wait until-”
Comically on time, her mom came home. “I’m home!” her mom panted as she rushed into the dinning room “Lili! Oh sweet daughter of mine” she brought Lili into a tight embrace “You have no idea how worried I was! Did you wake up alright?”
“I just woke up thirsty” Lili responded, face squished in her arms “Mom, not to be rude, but can I have my phone? I was just saying that something might trigger my memories back.”
Lili followed her mother into her home office after dinner. The familiar scent of lavender hit her and it triggered the memories she had in there. Once she got her phone and turned it on, a flood of texts rolled in from classmates and people from her circle.
“If you’d like, you can stay home for summer break” suggested her mother “if going back is going to be overwhelming.”
“No, I want to go the dorms” Lili said with confidence “My journey to who I became started at school, because if I did make up my mind to be a hero and threw away my dream of being a dancer, then all those memories started there.”
“Alright Lili, when do you want to go back?”
“Hmmm, on Friday? Is that okay?”
“It is, I just gotta let the school know.”
And so I went to my room to check if I had any pictures, most of them were just selfies and videos of some crackhead activity outside (from what I assume is my dorm room) window. So much for helping me, gotta take more pictures of my friends! I clean out my inbox and see that this one contact I have saved called “Hoshi 💫🌟”. I scroll through our text history and it’s like I text them a lot! Is this the friend Rosa was trying to talk to me about? Wish I had a picture of them but it seems like our texts were saved all the way back from December, almost 7 months ago! I decided to give it a rest and get ready for bed. I lay in bed but I couldn’t sleep, like something was missing from my sleep routine. Did I add something while I was away from home? Needless to say, I didn’t wake up totally refreshed. The little things triggered my memories as I did my everyday routine and, after 4 days, I remembered up to the day I quit the dance academy to go to UA.
“Mom, do you think everyone will be patient with me?” I asked as mom was driving me to the dorms “What if they trick me or take advantage?”
“You have nothing to worry about! Everyone will help, or at the very least your circle of friends and teachers will” Mom replied, glancing over at Lili’s face “Hey, why don’t we go to a McDonalds before?!”
I get excited “For two cones and a number two combo with Sprite?!”
“Yup, glad to see that your excitement for secret McDonalds is still there” chuckled Mom as she took the left turn into the downtown area “The usual I see.”
“You know that’s been my order since I was old enough to speak!” I wiggled in my seat and looked out the window “McDonalds! McDonalds! Gimme McDonalds!”
Thankfully there was no line at the McDonalds and I enjoyed my two cones before pulling up to the dorms. I grab my bag and my drink before following my mom into the building, nothing was coming back to me yet.
“This way Lili, we have to talk to your teacher” Mom pointed to a door “Hopefully he’s not too wrapped up to talk.”
I watch her knock on the door and the sound of somebody falling off something responded along with hasty footsteps “Yes? Oh! I wasn’t expecting you two so soon!”
“Ha ha very funny mom” I was being sarcastic “How much did you pay Diaper Boy to be in on this prank?”
“Ya know Lili, I might be one of the richest women in the country but not even I’d pay Mr Mineta to be part of anything” my mom sighed and pinched her brows together “He’s your sensei...deadass.”
I nearly choked on my Sprite “No way! No wonder I ended up in the hospital!” I felt offended “You got this purple ball flinging, toddler sized, ketchup-smellin’ teaching the next generation of heroes?!”
“Hey! TO BE FAIR, I wasn’t responsible for your accident” sensei cried out “secondly, words hurt. Both of you have been roasting me for long enough, I am a man and a hero!”
“Yeah okay Diaper Man!” I roasted, which promptly triggered my memory of the first day of school “Oh man, that roast was so powerful that it triggered my memory.”
“Oh thats good! Thats what we came here first for” Mom shifted focus “Minoru, I’m going to need you to help Lili trigger her memories in terms of academics. In turn I propose Lili gets a training break until her memories come back.”
“I will allow it, don’t worry about her getting injured again” he gave his thumbs up “She excused from summer training due to her rescue points, which is this leg of the training.”
“Great! Here’s her updated medical records, please hand them to Eri when you get a chance” Mom hands over a manila folder “I just need to talk to Hoshi real quick and I’ll be on my way.”
“Wait, Mom” I stopped her “where are you going after this?”
“I’m going to do some agent work” she explained “my team has been called upon a lead for a re-opened case. I might be gone for a few days, so Dad will be there for you if you need anything.”
“But, what about me?” I pouted, feeling abandoned.
“I know its a little scary being in an environment you don’t recognize, away from your parents and siblings” She comforted me “Trust me, I know the feeling. But you have one person to rely on at least, and it’s your best friend. Hopefully you remember them after a while.” She pointed to the cat tower “Why don’t you see if Clawford is taking a nap? I’ll be quick!”
I watch her teleport out and I do what she said. She says things like this to make me feel better about her being gone for more than a day, but I still worry. I peek my head in the cat hole and see the chonky cat staring back at me with their bluish eyes. I reach in for a gentle pet and they seem to like me, maybe I spend a lot of time in this area and play with them? I don’t know how long I’ve been petting them but when I turned around, there was a group of at least 10 people just staring at me.
“Um... Howdy!” I greeted awkwardly.
“Oh my goodness! She’s not yelling at us” spoke a girl to another girl in the group “what do we say?”
“Yo Toei-kun is right there, how long until she scraps with him?” whispered the boys.
“ENOUGH! Can’t you see our classmate is back?!” spoke up one of the boys and takes a few steps towards me “Iida-san, welcome back! It’s good to see you recovered and well.”
I blinked and lightly scrunched my face “I’m sorry, but...had we, met before?”
Everyone gasped
“What do you mean? It’s me, Hashima-kun, class representative of Hero class A.”
“Class rep?...Sorry, but I don’t remember” I looked to the others “and I don’t remember any of you.”
Sensei came out of his room to inform everyone of my condition. My mom came back out with somebody before heading out.
“Okay Lili, I’ll be going now” She squeezed me “take care and call Dad for anything! I love you.”
“Okay bye Mommy” I waved “I love you!”
I watch her get in her car and drive off. Everyone’s whispers were getting on my nerves in an unsettling way. It was getting me anxiety and I felt frozen in place.
“Hey, are you okay?”
I turn around to see a tall guy with frosty, blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was looking at me with gentle concern and that confused me.
“Yeah, um...I was just looking at my mom drive off” I meekly responded “Anyways, uhhhhhh can I ask you a very dumb question?”
Now he looked confused “Sure?”
“Where’s the bathroom? I’ve been it holding in for like 20 minutes now” I whispered, hoping nobody heard me.
“Here I’ll show you” he asked me to follow him. We walked up some stairs and down a hallway “So...memory loss huh?”
“Yep”
“Nothing from the last few years, ey?”
“Nope!”
We arrive at the bathroom “At least you remember me right?”
I run in the bathroom and into a stall before I could answer him. And just when I think I have my privacy, I hear the bathroom door open.
“Lili, you remember me...right?” he asked again.
“Um...I-” I try to not make any bodily sounds “I don’t remember you, sorry.”
“You....don’t remember me?” he responded, voice cracking and trailing off “how can that be?! We’ve done so much together! I’m saved on your phone, we have matching lock screens, you made me this shirt... does anything trigger at least the day we met?”
I flush the toilet and walk out to wash my hands “I wish it did, but it seems like routine has been triggering my memories” I go to dry my hands “and I guess that’s my second question, are you in my daily routine?”
He suddenly gets very coy “Well..um” he rubs his face “I basically never leave your side, we share a dorm room.”
“Oh...” I stare blankly at him as a hard blush rose up to my face “Will you excuse me for just a moment?”
I turn around to walk into a shower stall, closed the door and screamed for a solid 2 minutes. “Okay, I feel better” I cleared my throat as I walked out the shower.
“You know that those showers aren’t sound proof.”
“Kinda wish you didn’t say that” I blushed again “now uh, where’s our room?”
I follow him a little ways down the hall from the bathroom. He opens the door to a cramped space.
“Welcome back, hehe” he nervously said “anything?”
I look around “Not yet, but this is a bit of tight space” I walk in to see which side is mine “Hey, that’s the vanity I wanted!”
“Well, it is yours” he explained “along with that fabric wall, sewing station on the balcony, that’s your dresser and your half of the slide closet” he then points to the bed with pink sheets “And that’s your bed, don’t worry, I didn’t sit or sleep on it. I know how picky you are about that.”
“Oof, I hate that box spring feel” I cringed at the sound the bed made with I sat on it “damn bitch, we live like this.”
The boy starts howling with laughter “You’re killing me Lili! Good one!”
I watch him laugh and it made me...happy?
“Are we...best friends?”
“We are!” He calmed down to answer me “We’re like a two for one special! We do almost everything together and you understand me the most” he smiled “You’re the most important person in my life, and no matter what, I’ll help you remember everything. Because you never gave up on me and it’s about time I return the favor.”
“Really? I’m important to you?” I questioned “then I trust that you’ll help me through this.”
He smiled harder and glanced at my bag “What’s in the bag? I don’t remember you having that rhinestone bag.”
“This is my old dance bag” I zipped it open “I have my McDonalds in here.”
“Oh? Did you order your two cones, a number two with large Sprite?”
I froze in place “Whoa, you memorized my McDonalds order?”
“Yup, when we didn’t feel like going to the dorms yet after school, we’d go to the McDonalds and get it to go.” He explained “My order is the number 6 with a vanilla milkshake to dip my fries in.”
“I see, you’re a man of culture as well” I gave a face of approval “Then will you accept this orange.”
“Sure! WAIT!” He stopped himself from taking the orange from my hand “Oranges? Did you-”
I dumped all the contents of my bag on the bed “Pick a bunch of oranges before I came here because our tree was heavy with fruit?...Yes, I did.”
“Oh Lili!” he chuckled “You haven’t changed a bit, I’m so happy you’re back.”
I watch him peel the orange, trying to see if it triggered anything “Hey, not to sound dumb but” I asked as I was eyeing their shirt “what is your name?”
“Hm? My name is Hoshi Togata” he looked up from his peeling.
“Oh you’re my saved contact on my phone!” I picked up my phone “that makes me relieved that it’s you.”
“Yeah, look” he picked up his phone to show me the lock screen “We match, I’m the Big Bad Wolf from Shrek and you’re Donkey.”
“I was wondering why Donkey was there!” I giggled “This feels weird, I’ve never had a best friend before.”
“What about Maru?”
“Oh shit, lowkey forget he exists sometimes” I admitted “but we don’t do things like this. I’d never share my food with him or watch movies.”
“I’ve never had a friend period! You were my only friend for a while because-” he stopped himself from saying it “um, well...that part isn’t important anymore BUT we found more friends!”
I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out things all over again. And when it came for bed, I couldn’t really sleep again because I felt like something was missing. This sucks!

BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]
Lost and confused? Read this post to catch you up!
Chapter 10: Y’all Mind If I Praise the Lord Real Quick?
It’s the next day and the usual scuffle of my siblings on a Monday were underway as Hoshi and I calmly ate breakfast. Not gonna lie, it felt nice to be on the observing side of things. Mondays are the days my dad comes home early from work to make dinner while mom goes off to her agent job. So Hoshi and I have the house to ourselves!...or so I thought.
“Home alone! I don’t think I was ever home alone!” I squealed in excitement “what do you wanna do? Watch movies? Try to find the twinkies my mom hides? OOH! Wanna play loud music and scream sing?!”
Before Hoshi could respond, uncle Jin popped in “HUP! Not so fast you two!”
“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” I questioned.
“Not for another 2 hours, the boss lady asked me to make sure you two didn’t do anything dumb” he crossed his arms “so I propose you two get to cracking those books open and study.”
“Humph! I don’t wanna!” I huffed and stamped my feet.
“Your grades say otherwise” he pushed up his glasses “same to you young man, you need to improve your math skills!”
Uncle Jin was right, I did need help with math “FINE! We’ll do math homework!” We go to retrieve our backpacks and sit at the table “Bet my mom didn’t have to do math homework all the time!”
“She struggled in math too” Uncle Jin chuckled “Your mom wasn’t always the intimidating, super genius innovator everyone paints her as in the media. She was goofy, didn’t understand everything but worked tirelessly to get it right.”
“What about you?” asked Hoshi.
“Myself? I helped her and Mimi with what they struggled with, school and emotional wise.” He sat at the table with us “and they helped me with teamwork.”
“You? Help with teamwork?!” I was in disbelief “But you three are the prime examples of teamwork! How did struggle with that?!”
“I was a lone wolf, since I was a child, nobody wanted to be around me and I didn’t want to be around them. Just on my own until I met those two, I call them my angels” he reminisced “countless times they’ve saved me and were patient with me, eventually I warmed up to the idea of always being by their sides.”
“Did you fall in love with them?” asked Hoshi.
“In a way, not romantically, I love them like the family that never adopted me” He smiled “That family love that’s been missing in my life, they gave it to me willingly and I cherish it with everything I’ve got.” He sighed deeply “So of course I called myself uncle when they had children, it’s what families do! I helped raise them like they were my own.”
“So you found your own family too?” Hoshi responded “Is it bad that I don’t like my dad and found my own family?”
“Family is what you make of it! Blood has nothing to do with it” Uncle Jin put his hand on Hoshi’s shoulder “If you feel seen and found with them, stick with them and never let go.”
I never thought about it like that, finding love in friendship. Made me think that’s the feeling I have with Hoshi. The more I thought about it, the more it made wonder if Hoshi felt the same way. Either way, I’m sticking by him and not letting go! We continued to work on our math homework and other work so we won’t be so behind when we go back. As I washed dishes, I looked out the window and noticed the gray cast of rain-heavy clouds. It’s going to be cold, rainy season soon, well duh! It’s nearing the end of October, nearly the end of the school year. It didn’t seem like that long ago since I entered that classroom for the first time. And now I am where I am, with Hoshi. Later that night, as we crawled into bed, I held him tighter than usual. But he didn’t say anything, just held me just a tight as we drifted off to sleep. Dreams of us growing old together, just like my mom and her friends, danced in my head. I know things are going to be different going forward but I’ll make sure things will be pleasant and comfortable...whatever that’ll mean.
-Day of returning back to the dorms-
“Okay, we’re here” Mom said as she parked “Ready to get things arranged?”
Hoshi took a deep breath “I think so, thank you for helping me out.”
“No problem!” Mom said with a smile “Now, come on, it’s about an hour before school lets out and you’ll need all the uninterrupted time to get your things situated.”
And so started the rearranging of my already small dorm. We got mostly everything moved in, minus things like the bed and desk. We settled with sharing until getting a second bed and all my sewing things will go to the balcony to make room. And just in time too, everyone was making their way to the dorms. Mom walked out to talk to sensei and aunty Midnight as we sat in our room. The girls curiously checked if we were back, to our surprise, they were supportive of Hoshi and now understood our dynamic. None of the boys had a problem with him either but that won’t change the rules in place now. The intel students that helped us were happy that we were back. All of them had our backs and became our friends. I’ve never felt such support! Hoshi was so overwhelmed with the warm welcome back and support that they cried.
-Later that night-
“That shower experience wasn’t so bad” Hoshi said as I brushed their hair.
“You waited until everyone left to get out of the shower” I recalled “and freaked out when I was in my towel at the sink!”
“Well, yea” he turned red “I’ve never seen another naked girl’s body, I’m used to boy’s bodies because of my brothers.”
“Wait, how did you manage in the boy’s bathrooms here?!”
“I’d purposefully be the last one to shower” he laughed “first I brush my teeth, then I get in the shower when everyone is getting out.”
“Makes sense I guess” I said as I finished brushing his hair “Alrighty! Time for bed!”
“Does it bother you that I have breasts?” blurted Hoshi as I got up to put away all my hair care.
“Not at all, breasts don’t define the person” I responded “why?”
“It’s just that, I don’t know, it’s something I’ve been meaning to ask” he diverted his gaze and tucked his legs in “I trust you to where I can take my binder off around you but I see you looking at my chest and I know you’re looking because you’re curious” he rests his chin on his knees “It’s without ill intent but my mind goes there.”
I get embarrassed “Well, I’ll tell you the truth” I close the drawer on my vanity “It’s because I wonder how big they are. Without the binder, they look big and it makes me a little self conscience about my little breasts.”
“Oh....you wanna see them?” He said as he griped the bottom of his shirt.
I was morbidly curious to know, so I gripped the bottom of my shirt “I’ll show you mine, if you show my yours.”
“Deal, on the count of three” he stands up “One..”
“Two...”
“THREE!”
We lift our shirts and just stare at each other’s body. His breasts were big! Like, almost D-cups! I know for sure I have passable B cups but I’m basically flat! But with his muscles, he has an ideal body. I feel my face get red.
“Erm, they’re pretty big” I broke the silence, feeling stupid for saying that.
“You have very nice hips” he responded “I knew you had higher hips but your clothes don’t outline them. And you have nothing to be self conscience about, I think your body is very nice.”
That comment made me look away and pull down my shirt “Okay! I’ve had an eyeful, hehehe” I turned really red “time for bed!”
He did the same “RIGHT! Hehehe” He jumped into bed and laid facing the wall “GOODNIGHT!”
I turned off the light and got into bed “Goodnight Hoshi” I said softly as I laid my head on the pillow.
At some point in the night, Hoshi turned around to face me. In our smaller, more cramped room, he still wants to face me as we sleep. Being this close has it’s moments, I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve just walked around in my room without pants, forgetting Hoshi is right there. He’s done the same to make me feel less awkward, but we’re not there yet. Later, we learned that the two students that attacked us got expelled. That gives me an overwhelming anxiety that they’ll become villains and hurt us again, but the school reassures us that they won’t get close enough to do anything. Still doesn’t stop me from worrying. Of course there’s a dance coming up middle of November and I really want to go. Mainly because that’s where my parents took their iconic dance photo that my aunty Midnight took of them.
“I’m so excited for this dance!” I squealed as we go to our lockers to change shoes “Do you think we’re cool enough to get invited to the intel after-party?!”
Hoshi was distracted “Hm? Maybe..” he tied his shoe without looking up.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been distracted since after training today” I asked as I took my shoes out of the locker “Did you push yourself too hard?”
“No, it’s just that” he sighed “my brothers texted me say how they can’t do our yearly thing this time because of my dad and my older brother working two jobs.” He stands up “Like not to be a downer but my dad makes my brother feel captive. And my older brother is trying to figure out how to get him out before things get worse.”
“Oh no, I’m sorry that’s happening” I suddenly felt bad for talking about the dance “but what’s the yearly thing you do with your brothers?”
“It’s this thing we do, since our birthdays are all on the same month, we just celebrate on one day” he started to shake off his downer mood “we share the cake, we plan somewhere to go or do, and the best part is that we came up with it ourselves!” he smiled “It was the one thing we had that our dad couldn’t take away, mainly because he’d be working on the day we pick! Last year we took a day trip to Shibuya and came back JUST before our dad came home.”
“That must’ve been thrilling to beat” I giggled “how old are you turning?”
“17, My oldest brother is turning 22 and the one still at home, 20″ he closed his locker door “we planned on going to the temple because my brother turning 20 and having dim sum. But...you know.”
“Oh right!” it was heartbreaking to see him like this “but does that mean you’ll go to the dance?”
“I’m not sure yet” he responded as we walk to the dorms “since everyone knows my secret, I’m not totally comfortable with formal wear or dancing in big groups like that.”
I was a little upset that he said that but what to do? The dance is my one chance to display my sewing skills on something fancy, but on the other hand, Hoshi is going through it. Short on time to decide, I didn’t bring it up and just let fate decide for me...man I’m bad at these things.
-Night of the Dance-
“Lili? You’re still here?” Hoshi said as he returned from his shower “all the girls left already...wait, you’re not even remotely ready!”
“Yea, that’s because I’m not going to the dance” I said as I closed the sliding door from the balcony.
“Why? Is it because the dress-” he pointed at the mannequin on the balcony “where? LILI DID YOU TOSS IT OFF THE BALCONY BECAUSE YOU HATED IT LAST MINUTE?!”
“FIRST OF ALL! I didn’t toss it off the balcony, I gave it to Hangi-san because she couldn’t afford a dress” I stood my ground “SECOND OF ALL! I made the conscience decision to not go.”
“Does that mean you-”
I sighed “Yes, I hard passed Toei-san’s really elaborate dance-posal” the memory was still fresh in my mind “props to him for doing the absolute most, if I liked him like that, I’d say yes. But poor dude, reduced to tears.”
“Well, that still doesn’t answer my question” Hoshi re-shifted to his question “Why? I thought you wanted to go so badly?”
“I did but what’s the fun of going without my best friend?!” I said with a smile “besides, isn’t it approximately you’re birthday?”
“Don’t stay because of me!”
“TOO LATE!” I yelled with a laughed as I revealed a cake on my vanity “my dad dropped this off earlier, he said it’s from his friend’s bakery.” I gestured to the other things on the vanity “also we got a spread of dim sum, courtesy of my uncle Jin. A tank of lemonade, courtesy of my mom, and some gifts.”
Hoshi was in near tears “No way! You sneaky girl!” he covered his face “I can’t believe you literally got all this done while I was training and showering. I have to be dreaming- OW!”
“Oops forgot you do that after they say ‘pinch me, I’m dreaming’, my bad” I laughed at my blunder “WELL! Go on, make a wish.”
“You have to sing the birthday song dummy” he teases as he walked to the cake.
“In Japanese, English or Spanish...AND DON’T SAY YES! I’m not singing all of them!” I made clear.
He laughed “In english then, I like it when you speak in english.”
So I sang the song and he blew out his candles. He opened his gifts and was surprised by the amount, either way, it touched him that so many people cared enough. We huddled under a warm comforter as we ate and watched The Shrek movies, because he doesn’t understand the memes.
He rest his head on my shoulder “I’m going to say it Lili” he looks up into my eyes “I appreciate you and I don’t say it enough. You are the bravest, generous and nicest person I’ve ever met, next to your mom of course.”
“Haha I was about to say” I snickered and leaned my head on his “You’re more than just my friend Hoshi, I share the deepest bond with you that labels can’t describe! You’re precious to me, you make me a better person and most importantly, you humble me.”
“Is it gay that I want to spend the rest of my life with you?”
“Only if you make it gay” I responded “Fellas, is it gay, to grow old with the homies?”
He bursted into laughter “You got me there!” he threw his arms around me “Thank you, for everything.”
I squeezed him back “Happy birthday Hoshi.”
It was a good thing we didn’t go to the dance, the power went out at the venue, causing hysteria of it being a villain attack. Not a villain attack, just the lights burning out. So everyone had to come back to the dorms early while we were having a good time watching all 5 Shrek movies. Tag yourself, I’m Donkey. Hoshi is the Big Bad Wolf. We memorized the memes to the point that every-time we see a big rock at a training ground, we say ‘that’s a nice boulder’ and instantly lose our shit. Yeah we get in trouble for it, but it’s all worth it....Currently, school is out for winter break but it’s not quite time for Christmas, so we’re cooped up bored.
“What do you wanna do today?” ask Hoshi as we take up room in the commons room.
“I wanna go to downtown but we ain’t got a chaperone” I groaned “I wish I was as innovative as my mom when she was in high school. She was always up with her schemes.”
“Hey uh not to interrupt” spoke up the class rep “but there’s a group of students that want to talk to you and Togata-kun.”
“What do they want?” I asked with suspicion “We’re not popular enough to get summoned like this.”
“They didn’t want to tell me the real reason” he responded “they assured me they’re not here to fight, just to make a deal.”
I look at Hoshi “A deal?”
“We’ll go, perhaps it’s something to do” he stands up “thank you Hashima-kun.”
“Be careful, it’s a mix of different classes and years” the class rep warned “I’ll keep an eye out.”
Just outside the dorms were a group of 8 people. I recall seeing them in passing in the halls at school but I’ve never talked to any of them! Wonder what they want.
Hoshi and I walk up to them “Hi, you wanted to see us?” I spoke.
“Yes! We’ve been hoping to talk to you for a while actually” said an upper class-man “You see, we have a lot in common. Everyone here is on the spectrum and like to dance.”
“On the-OH! The queer spectrum!” I was still not getting why they’re here “but what does dance have to do with it?”
“We want to form a group!” blurted someone in the group “and it seems like you know a lot about queer and dance culture. And we didn’t know there was others like us until the zero tolerance rule of the dorm hate crime.”
“Yeah! It was super brave of you to go face to face with the two culprits” blurted another “By forming a group, we can make a safe space for us to express ourselves and protect.”
I ponder their points “Hmmm, that does sound like a good idea” I turn to Hoshi “what do you think?”
“Why not?! I’d love to start a group like this!” Hoshi beamed “New friends!”
“Well, then that settles it!” I laugh “Now we’re a group.”
“YAY! But what now?” said the upperclassman “To be honest, I didn’t plan that far.”
“OH! Why don’t we show them those drag and ballroom competition videos?!” suggested Hoshi “Didn’t you say that it’s a big part of queer history and culture?”
“What’s drag?” asked the group.
I perk up “Ooooh gurl! I’m about to go IN!”
And so we spent most of winter break learning about drag and other queer culture things. Everyone caught on to the dances, some even did drag when we met up! It made me so happy to be part of a group that’s so encouraging and open minded. Hoshi was especially loving the group and the respect they give him. When classes started for the new school year, we decided to meet up once a week to do ballroom style dancing. But the question of where and when was an issue.
“It’s a free weekend this week” Hoshi said as I was getting my shoes out of my locker “ya think we can do a Ki Ki?”
“I want too! But like where?!” I pouted “stupid school and not allowing clubs! We’d get a room for these things.”
Hoshi jumps with his eyes widened “OMG! I just realized something!”
I jump in response “TELL ME!”
“Okay, so you know my quirk right?”
“Uh huh.”
“Crazy idea, but what if I just yeet myself on the other side of the roof access door to open it?”
“That’s the craziest thing you’ve ever said to me” I said as I put my hands on his shoulders “DO IT!”
We exchanged starry-eyed looks to each other and giggled all the way to the dorms. When the class rep went to bed, we slipped away to the stairwell to get to the roof access door. It surprisingly worked.
“Wow that was easier than I thought” Hoshi said after he opened the door “there’s no form of security up here and the door might as well be deadbolt-ed with a cheeto!”
I laughed at that last part “STOP MAKING ME LAUGH!” I hit him playfully “I’m trying to see if anybody could possibly hear a group of 15 people stompin’ up here.”
“Woah look over here Lili” Hoshi said pointing to the skyline “You can see the whole city from here!”
“Wow, you can!” I said in awe “can’t believe we’ve never tried to come up here.” I look up to the sky “And the night is clear enough to see the stars!”
“It’s been a hot minute since we’ve star gazed” He looked up with me “I bet your mom has snuck up here a couple of times.”
“She has! Mr. Hitoshi and my mom, back in the day, would meet up here and hang out” I blushed at the memory “They’d smoke the devils lettuce and make out apparently.”
“Isn’t that the brainwash-hero? Oof, your mom caught the attention of a lot of boys huh?”
“Yup, but I’m happy my dad was the one that make it out of the friend-zone” I sigh “imagine having that purple-haired, baggy eyed man as my dad?!”
“I don’t know, he’s kind of hot” Hoshi blushed and hid his face “your mom has good taste.”
I gasped dramatically “You never blush like this!” I poke his face “TELL ME! Which of the top 20 heroes you think are hot?”
“Like...heh Shoto is top tier attractive and my other two would be” Hoshi admits “Miriko and Kamui.”
“Oh bitch if you think Shoto is hot...he has a brother that visits the house sometimes with him, and he’s even HOTTER!” I explained “Like, you’ll either wet yourself or shit your pants because he’s so sexy in an edgy way. He was in love with my mom around the time she started dating my dad, and my mom stayed loyal and never gave into that man’s advances.”
“That’s true love right there” Hoshi admired “would you give in? If you were in your mom’s position?”
I thought about it “Hmmm, I would also decline that man. Because my dad is trustworthy and truly loves my mom, and I’d stay loyal to the person that loves me like that.”
“In that case....do you have any crushes currently?” he eased into the question.
I looked at him and narrowed my eyes “Why do you want to know?”
“You’re avoiding the question~” he teased “Come on! I see how you look at Neni-kun at our meet ups.”
“I stan an enby, what can I say?! I love their aesthetic” I stood my ground “but I don’t have a crush on anybody, I just want to make friends and sort of figure myself out.”
“Figure yourself out?”
“Yeah! Like, where I am on the spectrum!” I looked back at the skyline “You seem so confident on what you are and what type of person you like, just like the others in the group. But I’m not sure what’s my type, I can’t say I’m gay or bi, and I’m hyper fem but I like the non-binary and other gender portrayals.” I sigh “So I really want to know what am I in that sense.”
“Oh that makes sense” Hoshi responded “but you’re for sure not straight.”
“Hell no!” I giggled “But back to the task, I think this is going to be a perfect spot! And I just need a mix master...”
“Lili, you don’t mean-”
“I going to confront the lighting twins!” I yelled to the sky “And I’m not going to cry this time.”
-The next day, in the support wing-
“Please! I’m on my hands and knees!” I start sobbing in front of the Kaminari twins “I’ll give you anything!”
Hoshi gets second hand embarrassed “Lili, you promised you wouldn’t!” he harshly whispered.
“Hmm, I don’t know sis, what do you think?” said one of them.
“Dore-chan, what say we give our price~” said the other one.
“What is it?” I asked.
The gave me a mischievous look and said in unison “We want the cyberkid makeover! Custom clothing, hair and makeup!”
I look at the two blondes with confusion “That’s all?”
“Yes! Mifa-chan and I want to look cool for once!” Dore huffed and stamped their feet “Daddy doesn’t let us dress up! And Mommy’s style is sooooo out dated!”
“Really? Because I have a whole wad of cash and gift cards to places around here” I shake my fanny pack “I can pay for any-”
“MAKE OVER MAKE OVER MAKE OVER!” screamed the twins in near deafening levels.
“Okay okay! I’ll do it” I pleaded so they could stop “Just let me get your measurements.”
After I get their measurements and what exactly they wanted, Hoshi and I walked back to class before break was over.
“I didn’t know they had a volume quirk” Hoshi broke the silence.
“That’s Dore’s quirk, Amplification” I explained “Mifa’s quirk is Electro-Current. So it’s super fitting to see them in the support department but they’re super bratty!” I groaned remembering our childhood “They’re older than me but they’ve always been like this! I didn’t grow up with them but they’d want all the clothes and fashions I had, but the thing was that I’d make the clothes with my quirk. I offer to make the item for them but they run to their dad for anything. To be honest, their dad is such a dunce!”
“So what makes them redeeming?”
“Oh they’re super musically talented! They specialize in music mixing and even got a side business in DJ-ing!”
Hoshi opens the door to our classroom “Well I guess they’re the right fit for this.”
“What are you two up to?” confronted the class rep, arms crossed “it’s Friday before the free weekend and there was yelling down in the wing over...care to explain what that was about?”
I scoff “So I got another sewing commission, you worry too much class rep!”
“Are you serio- Iida-san! It’s year two! You have to know my name by now!”
“Psh! Of course I know!” I crossed my arms “I’m just being respectful!”
“Hahaha! We should take our seats now Lili!” Hoshi said as he pushed me to our desks “sorry to cause suspicion!” We sat down and Hoshi whispers “you don’t remember his name do you?”
“It’s starts with an ‘H’ right?” I responded meekly and Hoshi facepalmed himself softly “HEY! Give me some credit for remembering the first letter!”
“Oh Lili, you’re such a mess” he broke into soft laughter “It’s Hashima. But at the rate you’re going, it’s going to take you another 6 years to remember his full name!”
Class started and I was still processing that roast. Sensei announced the start of adjunct training with 3rd year starting at the end of the month. I check the syllabus and that’s 3 weeks away, and this Saturday is the 10th of February...February huh? Just a year ago I was so confused about my place in this hero world but it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. My mom’s birthday wasn’t celebrated this year for some reason, which I find super weird since my dad goes the distance for celebration. I wonder how my mom is doing actually, I haven’t talked to her since classes started. After school I video call the house.
“Hello?”
“Iwee? Is mom home?”
“Nope, it’s friday night Lili” Iwa said as he crunched on some chips “she’s out on some agent work until late.”
“Oh that’s right, forgot” I sighed “I just wanted to check in on her, since her birthday wasn’t celebrated and I haven’t really talked to her.”
“Don’t feel bad” Iwa sat on the couch and sighed “she broke down pretty bad to the point that uncle Jin and aunty Mimi had to step in. She’s better now but that little stunt scared me and the other two.” He put the bag of chips down on the coffee table “Nobody is home right now, so I can tell you the tea.”
“Yes, please tell me.” I said with concern.
“Okay, so I guess mom got word from home that things got worse. And it’s not about family but about her hometown? That set her off and she send off like waves of energy that sent a bunch of things flying. Lucky for me, I was sitting at the top of the stairwell and nothing hit me but dad wasn’t so lucky. He got slammed against the wall like he was a limp noodle! That’s when uncle and aunty warped in to calm her, dad wasn’t seriously injured but he wasn’t tending to mom like he usually would. I kept the other two from going downstairs and mom was taken somewhere with uncle and aunty. Dad couldn’t explain what happened and mom doesn’t want to talk about it.”
I was in shock “Did they say anything was going to change or happen?”
“Nope, it’s almost like they’re sweeping everything under the rug” Iwa made his worried face “it’s just so weird! Dad is always so open and honest about things if mom doesn’t want to talk about something. He’s pretending like it wasn’t a huge deal and it’s not settling well with me!”
“I get you, that’s so weird” I’m even more worried than before “well, if that’s all you know about it, what else is new?”
“Middle school is pretty okay, it’s jazz season and I’m getting my ass on the keys. Tensei got in trouble for wearing his anarchy shirt on free dress day, Hanaka beat one of the Todoroki’s ass in a flame-off.”
“Oh shit which one?”
“Kaisu”
“THAT EDGY PIECE OF SHIT?! You know what,” I gave an approving look “that boy deserves to get his ass beat, bet his daddy and grandpa were ashamed.”
“Yeah, because Hanaka didn’t even use her fire to win” he started laughing “she straight up threw hands and tackled him! Dad was panicking and mom was like ‘you’re doing great sweetie!’. His dad broke up the fight and Kaisu looked fucked up that little girl beat him without fire.”
“That’s what he gets for teasing us all those years!” I huffed “He’s fortunate to have the hot Todoroki as his dad, otherwise he has nothing else going for him.”
“Seriously! But now Hanaka has gained the favor of the Todorokis because of this” he slumped “Now we gotta go to all their estate events.”
“Eww disgustang! They’re grooming her to marry into their family?!” I gagged “Hanaka should beat old man Endeavor and inherit everything without marrying into that mess!”
“Mom said the same thing on the way home!” Iwa recalled “but it seems like Hanaka won’t be giving in to the Todorokis, she knows her worth.”
“Good! I’m glad things are going alright with out me” I smile “I miss you guys.”
“Oh stop! I’m going to cry!” whined Iwa, trying to hold it together “I miss you too! Hopefully we can spend another weekend together soon, the house is too quiet.”
“I’ll try to see if I can come by on Sunday possibly” I responded “tell everyone I said hi!”
“I will! Work hard and be safe!” he started to wave me off “tell Hoshi I said hi!”
“I’ll tell him, bye bye Iwee!”
“Adios Lili!”
I clicked end call and closed my laptop, I see why mom always worried after something happens when she’s not there. Trying to refocus on things, I send out the text to our group on our Ki Ki on the dorm roof. Better get started on those outfits.

New to the AU? Start here!
Chapter 37: Oh Hell Nah~
It’s not quite move in day for Tenya, in fact it’s like a month before he can sign the new lease! But he has split his time more to spend it with Ita and mentally preparing to be the CEO’s boyfriend more openly.
“Hey, what’s this?” Tenya asked Ita as he pointed at the elaborate flower arrangement on the coffee table as he walked in the living room to join her on the couch “it’s very fancy.”
“Oh it’s my invitation to the Techies Gala” I responded without looking up from my phone “it’s one of those fancy networking events but with big names and some international faces. They’re themed and this year it’s Royal Court.”
“Are you going?” Tenya looked at the small invitation card in the middle of the arrangement “It must be a big ordeal if they sent flowers.”
“Heh I’m the only one that gets flowers” I roll my eyes “the co-director of the event’s host company has the hots for me. Every time I come around to any event, he won’t leave me alone until I have a dance with him or have a drink with him” I sigh tiredly “I have to go to maintain my image as a big name in the community. I’ve been going since I was a small fry company.”
“Can I come?”
“Why?”
“Well, I want too” he looked at her with excitement and wonderment “I want to be arm in arm with you in your prettiest gown and you introduce me as your significant other! And we’ll stand around sipping on champagne, dance and you point out your business partners to me and-”
“Okay! Okay!” I stop him and laugh “you can come, but you’ll need a suit to fit the aesthetic” I stand up and stretch “guess we gotta pay a visit to my secret designer.”
“Wait, that’s true?” he gasped at what I was saying “you have a private designer?!”
“Yeah, most luxury brands don’t carry my size gowns and when I was a no-name CEO, no designer would do a commission for me” I send a quick text to my designer “so I turned to the one person I knew would make me a gown in a pinch and at my budget at the time. And now he does all my commissions for my public appearances and my entourage” I turn to him “put on your shoes, we’re going to Taito to pay him a visit.”
We hop in my Jeep and drive 30 mins to the city, near the suburbs. We pull up to this apartment building in the nice part of town.
“Wow, this is a really clean area” Tenya commented as we parked “he lives in this building?”
“Yeah, what’s even nicer is that I don’t get recognized around here” I said as I got out of the car “this place is a retired hero heavy area, so it’s protected and confidential.” We walk up 4 flights of stairs to get to the place, I knock and a familiar face and denim vest greets us.
“AH! I’ve been expecting you two!” the tall man leans down to hug Ita “how are you darling?”
“I’m well!” I gave a firm hug “glad to see you’re in good health too!” I break the hug and gesture to Tenya “you recognize younger brother Ingenium don’t you?”
“I can recognize those eyebrows, polo shirt and capri pant wearing rectangle anywhere” roasted the tall man.
“It’s you! Best Jeanist!” Tenya was too starstruck to process the roast “this is where you retired to?!”
“After the whole Hawks thing, he stepped down to civilian to not deal with hero bullshit and focus on his number 2 passion” I explained “and that’s fashion! I’ve kept his passion under wraps so he doesn’t get swarmed with commissions.”
“Speaking of, you needed an addition to yours?” Jeanist shifted gears “getting serious are we?”
I hear a meow coming from the window “Why don’t you two get measurements done and I’ll be over here with Chiffon” I make my way to the white, long haired cat on the window sill.
The two make their way to the next room to do said measurements. “So, when should I expect the wedding commission?”
“What?” Tenya responded cluelessly.
“When are you planning to pop the question? Put a ring on it? Make her an honest woman?” Jeanist was half playing around, half serious “I know you two have been together for a while and you’re moving in soon, so what’s the wait?”
“I- um, I’m not thinking about marriage right now” Tenya gets red with embarrassment “I love her but I’m not sure when I should ask.”
“You know, the last boy didn’t marry her but had the nerve to get her pregnant then leave after almost 3 years together” he snapped his tailor’s tape to make a statement “don’t wait too long, she can’t waste her time on another one.”
“Understood” he responded to his threat “I don’t plan on dishonoring her.”
“Good! I’d hate to see another Iida go unmarried”
“Right, I forget that you and my uncles and father worked together.”
“And your brother, in all honesty, you’re all a bunch of good looking men” he writes the measurements on his client book “that ‘singles’ curse is no joke! But I trust that you’ll break that streak.”
That statement bothered Tenya for the rest of the time, it’s true that the men in his family don’t all get married or have many children to carry the family name. He can count his cousins on one hand and the reunions get smaller and smaller as the years go by. At this point, he feels introducing her into such a small family would shock her to what she’s used to. They get back to the house to get dinner started.
“Oh! I almost forgot to tell you!” she suddenly remembered “my parents are coming to stay for a few days.”
“Oh that’s wonderful news, which days?”
“From January 1st to the 5th”
“Oh that overlaps my move in.”
“I know, so plan is to move in partially after Christmas and get fully settled after they leave” she explained her plan “so that way you can have your clothes and important items here and all the heavy stuff after they leave. If that’s alright?”
“Yeah, I can do that” he thought about what things he’d have to leave behind until then “can’t wait to see your parents! Wonder if they’d let me first name them now that we’re dating.”
“Oh um, about that” I laugh nervously “I haven’t told them that we’re dating- DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT TENYA!” I glanced at his offended face “it’s not that I’m embarrassed or ashamed of being your girlfriend but my parents get very emotional when I tell them I’m in a relationship, since Shinso and the whole losing the baby thing, they’ve been very adamant that I don’t get in a relationship and just focus on being successful.” I see him change expressions “but I’m sure they’ll like you! They’d remember you from last time.”
“I hope they do.”
-Fast forward to the 1st of January-
“I’m back” I call out as I enter the house “Muffin, can you take these to the guest room?” I hand over 3 suit cases then turn to my parents struggling to take off their coats and boots “estan bien?”
“Yeah, just not used to taking off our shoes” my father responded as he got one boot off “by the way, did you get a new car? That’s a very nice Cadillac.”
“Oh that’s not my car, it’s my roommate’s” I panicked and said roommate instead of boyfriend because of their reactions.
“Roommate? Why would you need a roommate?” my mother asked suspiciously as she helped my father out of his boot “es duena de la casa!”
“Si pero, soy triste and quiero compania mama” I pouted and as they finished taking off their outer wear, Tenya walks down the stairs “you remember Tenya?”
“Oh? el nino que se introducio el otra ves” my mother walked up to him “what business do you have with my daughter!”
“Oh my, right to the point” Tenya adjusts his glasses “well you see, were very good friends and we just wanted to live together because I’m a pro hero now and-”
“A hero? Professional Hero?” my father questioned “can’t be stronger than Ita, so it’s not to protect her.”
“Tenya! See I told you they remembered you!” I nudged him “Oh we’re just the best of friends and-”
“ITATI ES TU NOVIO HUH?!” my mother figured it out “OTRA VES?!”
“PORQUE TE ENOJAS?! YA SOY GRANDE Y TENGO MI COMPANIA” I got latina rage that my mother wasn’t happy that I was in a relationship “I CAN HAVE A BOYFRIEND SI QUEIRO!” I argue more with my mother in the kitchen while my father and Tenya sit and wait it out in the living room.
“So, how was the flight Mr Palma?” asked Tenya, nervous if he was going to respond coldly “Ita tells me that you came over to celebrate your birthday.”
“The flight was alright and yeah I wanted to celebrate over here” he peered over the couch to see if the two women stopped bickering “I would’ve came alone but her mother wanted to tag along too.”
“Does she like traveling?”
“Yes but she doesn’t like me traveling alone” a warm smile spreads across his face “we travel everywhere together, since we were young.”
The way her father said that warmed him. He felt the type of love Ita was raised around and it reminded him of the dynamic he has with her. As the two women calmed down and set their frustrations aside, they sat down to eat the pozole Ita prepared before she went to pick them up from the airport.
“Tambien come la comida mexicana?” the mother commented as Tenya put the usual condiments on his “pues, no es tan mal.”
Tenya gives me the ‘translate please’ look to me and I laugh a little “she said he eats mexican food too? Maybe he isn’t so bad.”
“You don’t know Spanish?” the mother gasped “I thought you might have picked up a few words.”
“I did pick up a few words but I don’t get to hear it very often as Ita doesn’t speak it very often here in Japan” he got timid “I love the food she makes, especially the seafood. All I know is when she yells at me in spanish, I’m in trouble.” The outburst of laughter coming from the 3 startled him but then he sees where she gets her laugh and scrunched laughing face from. It was a heart-warming moment for him, it gave him an idea on how family dinners were back home for them. When the parents went to bed and the dishes were clean, he waited for Ita to come to bed.
“Well minus the argument I got into with my mom” I said as I sat on the bed “I’d say that went well! They liked you once they ate.”
“Your father and I were having some nice conversation on the couch” he recalls what her father said “he reminds me of you.”
“Really? How?”
“You have his laughing face, kindness and warm smile” he looked at her flushed face “I can’t believe that man taught you all those weird things you mentioned.”
“He’s like that” I laughed and laid down on my side of the bed “well, I’m tired from all that. Tomorrow, we’re going to the temple.”
“I remember” he turned off the light and got next to her “good night love.”
-At the temple, next day-
They spent most of the morning showing the parents around and answering their questions before the mother asked for a coffee.
“I’m going to find a hot drink stand, you want anything?” I asked Tenya, who was sitting near the prayer bells with my father.
“I’ll have a tea, thanks” he watched as the two women went to find hot drinks.
“So Tenya, when are you going to marry my daughter?”
“Oh um- I-” Tenya stammered
“I see the way to look and speak to her, I’d want her to marry a man like you.”
“How so?”
“You look at her the way I look at her mother” he looked at the two women ordering the drinks from afar “her mother and I where also friends in the beginning, she saved me from certain death and got in trouble for it. I didn’t like how everyone treated her like trash just because she was smart and had a double quirk, her mother hated me. She hated me even more when I got her daughter pregnant at 15, I did the right thing and married her and stood by her side when she gave birth. I wanted to give our family the life they deserved by immigrating to America to find work. But of course she didn’t let me go by myself, we left our daughter in the care of my mother and traveled hand in hand to America. It was difficult and seemed like nothing was going right at first but seeing her working just as hard kept me going. Eventually we brought our daughter over and started the life we deserved, then she came along, then her brother.” the two women were walking back with drinks floating near them “we taught her how to love and work hard, she taught herself how to fight back and stay strong. Our pride and joy is in her” he turned to Tenya “we’d love to have you as part of our family, just don’t wait too long.”
“Here, I got you some dango too” Ita hands Tenya a stick of dango and tea. They sat as the parents were walking around with their tea, hand in hand. “Aren’t they cute?” I commented as they pointed to the mountain in the distance “can you believe they’ve been married for 32 years?!”
“32 years?” Tenya nearly choked on his tea “wow, I can’t even imagine myself 32 years from now!”
“Right?!” I laughed “I hope sometime before that, I’d be able to go home.”
“What if you have a family here by the time it comes around?”
“I’d bring them with me, my whole family is over there” I turn to him “but even if I don’t, I want to bring you along.”
“Why?”
“I don’t want to travel alone” I hold his hand and squeeze “you make me feel less lonely in the world.”
“What if you want to stay in America?”
“I won’t beg you to stay with me but that’ll all depend” I look at my parents taking pictures of the bridge “for now, I’ll wait for that day to come.”
Tenya felt less pressured to marry her now that she said all that. She wanted him around even if they weren’t in love. It didn’t seem too bad to wait things out for just a bit longer. They spent the rest of their parent’s stay traveling together and sharing meals.
“Tired?” Tenya asked Ita once they got home from the airport.
“A bit, we left super early and it’s still pretty early” I yawned as I stretched “I’m going to take a nap on the couch before I have to go to work.”
“I’ll join you” he carried her to the couch before she could protest “here, I’ll hold you as you rest” he cradled her and immediately she fell asleep nuzzled into his chest. As she rested, he really took in his surroundings. They were in a new year, in a home with his love and the house was quiet. It was nothing like he imagined it when they were teenagers but it was very realistic and just as wonderful. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you” he whispered “I’m not leaving, not without you.”
She got up after an hour to get ready for her agent job and left, leaving Tenya alone to move in the rest of his things. He enters the office space and sees her cluttered space, a day bed and an empty part of the room. He assumed that’s where all his things go and after settling in, some of the things on the day bed caught his attention. On the satin sheets was an oversized hoodie and her old laptop, upon unfurling the hoodie, he sees it’s an Ingenium hoodie. “This is my hero hoodie” he said as he checked the tag on the inside “limited edition at that.” The idea that she bought one at all baffled him since she wasn’t into hero culture at all. He traced the sticker clad laptop with his fingertips “I wonder if I still remember her password” he opened the laptop to see the iconic picture of the 3 friends with the bear that she tamed, he typed in what he remembered and it logged him in. The home screen background was of Mr Muffins, just like how he remembered it. Out of morbid curiosity, he pulled up her browser and flipped through her tabs. Most of them online shopping sites for her beauty, hair and snack items that aren’t sold in Japan. One tab was on hero news, he clicked on it and saw himself on the screen along with all his statistics. “She’s been catching up on me?” the search history went all the way to when he showed up on the ranking, 3 years ago. “All this time, she’s been worrying about me and seeing how I’ve been before we reunited” he felt his heart ache at all the time she sat in this bed with the hoodie on, reading about him and longing to talk to him again “Oh Ita, I wish I wasn’t so stubborn to say it sooner.” He closed the laptop and put the hoodie back how he found it. He knows that she had feelings for him since high school but knowing now what she did in those years apart made him sad but determined. Sad that neither of them could say it, Determined to always say how he feels toward her.
-Night of the Gala-
“Need help?” I chortled as Tenya struggled to straighten the shoulders of the garment.
“Please” he said in defeat “how do you guys do it? High fashion doesn’t seem hard to put on.”
“You’ll get used to it” I fix the tassels on the shoulders “We usually fix each other’s clothes and hair before heading out to the chauffeur.”
“Y’all decent?” knocked Jin on the bedroom door.
“Yuh, ready to go?”
“We need some hair spray for Mimi” Jin said as Mimi walked up into view “it’s one of those hair days.”
“Oh shit, I got you fam” I pick up some combs and hair spray to fix her hair.
Tenya watches them in the living room, working on Mimi’s hair just like when they were in high school and he walked in the intel dorms to visit Ita. Just another fond memory that hasn’t changed. Once everyone was fixed and ready, they headed to the Gala in style.
“I didn’t know you could just portal a whole limousine like that” Tenya awed at how fast they traveled from the front gate of the community to the Gala.
“I do it for safety reasons” Jin says as he checks the time “wouldn’t want stalkers or villains to know where we are” he put his phone in his suit pocket “not that it’s happened before but you can’t be too careful.”
They step out of the limo to be swarmed with cameras and interviewers like it was a red carpet event.
“You guys weren’t kidding! It’s a big deal to be here” Tenya looked around him once they entered the place “Oh my, everyone is in theme.”
Before Ita could say anything, a familiar but unwelcomed voice called out to them “WELL! If it isn’t the most gorgeous woman in Japan!” a lanky man walked up to them.
“Correction, it’s Most Powerful” Mimi stopped the man from coming any closer “what do you want weasel man?”
“Can’t I talk to my associate?”
“Newsflash flat ass, we never agreed to your contract” Jin slides in with the facts “and with the crash in your stocks recently, our eyes are set to crush your company next.”
“Yeah whatever” the man ignored Jin “you’re looking mighty fine this evening Miss CEO, will you join me for some wine and see where the night takes us.”
“She can’t” Tenya stepped in before she could say anything “she has yet to introduce me to her colleagues.”
“And you are?”
“Her date tonight” He said confidently, feeling giddy that he said it “come babe, who were you going to show me?” putting his arm around her waist to take them to the otherside of the room, flashing a mischievous look back to the lanky man.
“Babe? Excuse me Mr. Her Date Tonight” she mocked and teased once they were out of earshot “who are you?”
“I didn’t like how that guy wanted to take you away for your undivided attention” he shuddered “I got a sickly vibe from him.” He looked around the room and saw all the hushed whispers and looks everyone were flashing at them “You’re certainly drawing a lot of attention with your gown.”
“They’re looking at you too” I chuckled “I’ve never been photographed with a date, let alone arm in arm with them” I wave at some of the familiar faces “lucky you, don’t worry about messing it up, just be yourself and limit only 2 glasses of champagne.”
After some ceremony things and year in recap for the tech moguls, Ita takes Tenya to her favorite part of the place. A little ways past the courtyard, theres a large pond full of colorful fish and frogs.
“What a quaint area” Tenya said in awe “is that a platform?”
“Yeah, you can take it right up to the middle of the pond, just above the water, to see the fish better” they go on the platform a distance from the edge “see, there’s some glow ones too and my favorite one is that iridescent one.”
“How deep do you think this pond is?” he asked curiously “theres so many fish here that it can’t be waist deep.”
“Quen sabes?” I look at him “do you think this’ll be a good addition to the yard?”
“A pond?” he thought about it “the yard isn’t that big.”
“I know but I’m thinking about having a mini one with just 3 or 5 fish to swim comfortably in and have it where the lemon and Kumquat tree is” I touched the surface of the water “but who knows when I’ll have time to sit down and plan it, I have so much on my plate for this year.”
“I see, it’s hard juggling everything” the big gold koi fish poked it head up and it caught his attention “but I hope you do decide to do it, I’d love to see it and anything you put your mind into turns out amazing.”
“Oh stop it!” I blushed as I stood up “you flatter me too much.” As they leaned in for the kiss, the platform gave way and they both fell into the pond, causing a scene. They both swam to the edge and everyone came out to see what happened.
“Oh my goodness I’m so sorry Miss!” the host of the event was mortified “are you hurt?! I’ll cover the cost of your damaged gown!”
“I’m more concerned about the fish” I said wringing out my hair “I hope our fall didn’t hurt them, I was so careful to not fall in.”
“I saw who tempered with the platform controls” spoke up a female that was part of somebody’s entourage “it was that lanky man with the navy suit! I was on the balcony when it happened.”
“I’ll handle things!” the host helps her up “lets get you two dried and inside” they lead us into a door that leads to the guest room “my apologies again! Please feel free to wash up too and I’ll get your clothes cleaned.”
“It’s alright Mr. Taka!” I say to calm him “thank you for your hospitality, I think we’ll just stay here until we get our dry clothes and leave for the evening.”
“Oh but I feel awful that that man had the gull to ruin your night, like some school boy!” the host gestured toward Tenya “I didn’t even get to meet your boyfriend properly, Hi I’m Mr. Ani Taka, CEO of Kankai Electronics.”
“Oh my it’s an honor! I’m Tenya Iida, Pro Hero Ingenium of the Ingenium legacy.”
“A PRO HERO! MISS PALMA I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD TWO BIG NAMES THAT FELL INTO MY POND!” he screamed and fan-boy’d “sorry I’m just a hero fanatic! I’ve shaken hands with your father and brother along with other heroes.”
“I thought you might react like this” I laughed and turned to Tenya “he’s one of my business partners and my supplier for touch screens and sensors.”
“I never gave up on their idea and helped them become the big name she is now” he turned to her “why don’t you get out of those wet clothes and into a robe?” he waited for her to close the door on the bathroom “So young hero, when’s the wedding?”
“You too?!” Tenya groaned “I’ve only been living with her for 2 weeks and dating for 8 months, its too soon to ask.”
“Alright BUT I want an invitation!” he huffed “just don’t wait too long.”
The rest of the night was spent in that guest room, finding out that lanky man is banned from future events and heading home pretty early. The next day, the headline on the event was ‘Robo Dog CEO and Pro Hero Ingenium Fall in Pond at the Tech Gala, CEO more concerned about the fish?’
“Really? Nothing on why Tenya was with me on the platform?” I questioned as I looked at the headline in my office “well I guess I should be thankful I was put in the positive light.”
“That spike in publicity is going to be LIT!” Beizu commented.
“Ew please don’t say ‘lit’ like that, you sound like my parents” I cringed and everyone else in the room agreed.
“Well that wasn’t very plus ultra of you guys” Beizu pouted “besides, this was a tech highlight, hero gossip shows up on the main page of anything way later or not at all. They’re heroes after all! They pay the publisher to remove gossip about them to boost their image” everyone took his word for it, he was a side-kick after all “if anything, this isn’t going to affect him much. Who reads the Tech headlines for hero news?!”
-Meanwhile, At the Todoroki Estate-
“KYAAA! SHOTO!” Fuyuumi cried out as the brothers run in from their morning work out.
“What is it?! What’s wrong Fu?” Shoto panted.
“LOOK! Palma-sama is with your friend!”
The brothers look at the headline and collectively said “So?”
“And he’s in the same un-named designer outfit!” she just confused the brothers more “it means she’s dating him! There’s no other reason why he gets a custom suit AND is arm in arm with her at the BIGGEST Gala of the year for Tech!” she squealed “I’m so happy for her!”
“Now that you mentioned it, Iida-kun moved out of his brother’s apartment at the end of the year and didn’t say where he moved to” Shoto recalled “and he was at her tech presentation in October” things finally clicked for him “it took him 3 years to finally say it! And didn’t tell anybody!?”
-In the Midoriya household-
“I can’t believe they finally said it!” sobbed Izuku and Ochako in their living room over the headline “I’m so happy for them!”
“We have to celebrate somehow!” Ochako squealed “I’ll contact the girls and you gather the boys.”
“I’m on it!” Izuku and Ochako sent a mass text to their old classmates about their discovery and celebration plans.
-Back at the house, later that evening-
“How was work?” I asked Tenya he walked in.
“It was weird today, I got a lot of attention when I went patrolling” he took off his shoes “plus my phone has been blowing up with voicemails and texts from our classmates.”
“Oh si? What did they say?” I was surprised to hear the blowing up his phone part.
“I went through the voicemails and most of it is screaming and crying, which concerned me until I heard Yuga’s” he plays Aoyama’s voice-message.
“Bonjour Dear Classmate~ I heard you’ve been hiding something from us, your relationship with your Princess! At long last you poured your heart out and she accepts you, unfortunately I am out of Japan and in France at the moment BUT I do expect a wedding invitation! Bye Bye for now!”
We both turn red and laugh “Well, so much for keeping things private” I peer over his phone “what else did they send?”
“Texts that say to call them back, screen shots of the headline, OH this threatening text from Bakugo” he pulls up the text.
I read the text “Oi, you better treat her right or else I’ll personally beat you to death, NO QUIRKS!” I laugh “that’s on brand, I miss those twinks oddly enough.”
“You have one request from Dummy-Dum to video-call, would you like to answer?” said the robo as he waddled in from the hallway.
“Kaminari? Um sure put him on the wide screen” I commanded and sat in front of the television. A buffering screen of Kaminari in his kitchen appeared “What’s poppin fam?”
“YOU! And -gasps- HIM!” Kaminari was freaking out as you can clearly see Tenya in frame of the video call “You two have been hiding your little hand holding and smoochy smoochy eh?!”
“Denki I told you I was talking to her again” Tenya said as he walked toward the couch “and you didn’t say anything about it!”
“I thought you meant like texting or emailing not fully hanging out!” Kaminari was just pacing in his kitchen “You two are putting pressure on the rest of us.”
“How?!” Tenya and I said at the same time “All we did was fall into a pond!”
“You fell in with a designer outfit that SHE made custom for you! Jiro wants me to start matching with her now” he pointed at his screen “do you know how uncool it is to have your girlfriend plan outfits?!”
“I actually don’t mind her styling me” Tenya chopped in response “she has an eye for fashion, this shirt flatters my frame better and she got me these Gucci slides house shoes.”
“It’s that attitude that’s putting pressure on us!” he groaned “I guess I’m happy you two finally made it official, just don’t out do us when you propose.”
The video call ends but the messages from old classmates kept coming in, well, except Shinso. While he knew all along, he knows he can’t say he’s happy for them until they get closure. But when?

BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]
Lost and confused? See this post to catch up!
Chapter 3: *Nicki Minaj Only Meme on Loop*
“Who did you choose Lili?” Hoshi asked me on our way to lunch at our usual spot “you kept quiet when some of us were sharing in class.”
“I chose the other offer” I stretched my arms “my parents were freaking out over it, so it must be good.”
“Oh dang both of them?” I nod as we sat at the stone table “well I trust your mom’s word, so I guess you chose well.”
“See, like, I’m not sure if I made the right choice” I opened my lunch bag “yea we have the same quirk but what can he show me that I already don’t know?”
“He was a top hero before, I’m sure he can bestow some knowledge on how things used to be?” he peered into my bag “did your mom pack lunch?”
“How can you tell?”
“I don’t recognize a single food product in that bag aside from the cut mango” he snickered “what’s for lunch?”
I peer in my bag “A torta, hot cheetos, mango con chamoy and an Arizona green tea” I gasped as I grab one of the items “OH BOY A TWINKIE YESSSSSS!”
“What’s a twinkie?”
All jazz music stopped in my head “You’ve never had the joy of having the delicious, golden, creme filled wonder that’s a twinkie?!” I watch him shake his head cautiously “here, today I’m blessing you with some American culture that my mother took for granted when she lived there.”
He looks at me presenting the twinkie in my open palms “You sure? From your guttural screech earlier, seems like you want it more.”
“As a proud half latina-American, I can’t be selfish with food experiences” I put the wrapped snack cake in his hands “on my momma’s word they’re good!”
“I did say I trust your mom” he unwrapped the twinkie and took a bite, his eyes widened and glistened “oh my god, Lili what the fuck?” he took another bite and savored it “this is the best thing in my sad, pathetic life!”
“I said the same thing when I was 6 years old” I recalled “good times! Now my siblings and I get in near fist fights over them. Mom keeps them under lock in the snack pantry so we never know if there’s any.”
“Fist fights? You 4 seem to get along so well” he finishes the snack “I guess nobody gets in the way of your imported snacks huh?”
“Yup!” I pick up my torta and take a bite “oh fuck yea! she put extra queso fresco in mine!”
After a very passionate lunch of me just explaining ethnic eating, we go about the rest of our day as usual. I countdown the days until I need to go to my internship, according to his requests, I have to bring a lot of extra things.
“That’s quite the line of luggage you got there” Hoshi commented on my 3 rolling suitcases and large duffle bag “you need help?”
“No, I’m fine” I take a calming breath “my ride is going to come any minute now” I look at my phone for the time “looks like you should get a move on too, the train to Saitama is departing soon.”
“Okay then, I’ll see you in 2 weeks” he grabbed his costume case “um text me when you get to your destination?”
“I will, take care!” I smile at him. I watch him start to walk away, then turned back to hug me “Oh?”
“Sorry it’s just that I needed this” he squeezed a little tighter “my mom would hug me good bye all the time when she had to go away for days at a time, it doesn’t feel right for me to say bye without a hug.”
That made me soft and a little sad that I reminded him of his mom. The best I could do was hug him back until he had to run off to catch his train. Not long after, a town car rolled up to where I was waiting.
“Hello Miss, are you Iida Lili Perla?” spoke the man in the drivers seat.
“Are you from the Best Jeanist agency?”
“Yes I am! Very nice to meet you” he gets out from the car and I can see the tent like pants in full view “I’m Jinko Punky from the Best Jeanist agency” he bows “it’s an honor to escort one of Agent 19′s very own.”
“You know my mom?” I was very confused on how this man knows my mother’s agent number and why he addressed her as such.
“Yes, she’s a very beloved agent in the agency” he gestured to my luggage “but lets load these into the car and I’ll explain things as we go.”
I help him put my things in the trunk and sat in the front of the car. The more I think about it, the more I’m confused on this man’s appearance “Alright, let me explain more, I bet you have a lot of questions.”
“Yes, my parents were freaking out over this offer. But all I know is that he’s a retired hero and my mom interned under his agent sector.” I couldn’t stop looking at his ugly tent pants “what does he want to do with hero work after all this time?”
“He’s an eccentric man, and he adored your mother when she was your age” he chuckled “I’ve never seen him so soft after interacting with her, like something in him changed for the better.” He sighed “Your mother showed her loyalty to us and helped in solving cases and gaining very valuable intel that no other could get! But what a strange twist of fate that her daughter is doing the same thing?!” We drive another 20 minutes and we arrive somewhere in Taito “Alright, this is your first destination.”
“First destination?”
“Yes, for this week you’ll be with the man himself” he unloads my bags “and next week you’ll be at the agency.”
He leads me into the building and tells me which floor and room I should go to. As I ascend to the top floor, I get nervous on how this man is going to be and what my mother felt when she met him. Finding the room wasn’t hard and I knocked on the door.
“Who’s there?” responded a semi-robotic voice.
“This is Lili Iida, from UA heroics program.”
I heard a click and the door opened “Please come in!” greeted a long-haired, white cat “I’ll let my owner know you’re here, please have a seat on the couch.”
I watched the cat trot away in awe. It was one of the fancy cat robo models my mom’s company developed! If I remembered correctly, the model name is Chiffon and was named after somebody’s beloved cat that passed away of old age. I looked at the room around me, it was spacious and clean. Seemed almost too big for just one person to be living here but there wasn’t any pictures of a family to show that more people lived here. Actually, there wasn’t any pictures on the wall, just artwork and hanging houseplants. I caught a glimpse of a silhouette of a tall figure coming closer from the hall the cat went in. I stood up and there he was, tall and in all denim.
“Hello there” he stopped in his tracks when he saw me “it’s very nice to see you after so long. My how you’ve grown up!”
I felt so comforted somehow after he spoke to me like we were family “I wish I could say the same about you” I bowed “I’ve heard so much about you!”
“Oh child, don’t bow to me” he walked up to me and tilted my chin up “we’re like distant family. Did Jinko explain things?”
“Yes he did” I stood up straight, unsure on how I should be addressing him “I’m going to be under your guidance this week and next week with the agency.”
“Correct” he turned toward the other side of the room “come this way, I’ll show you to your room for this week.” I follow him with all my things “here’s your room, it’s a bit plain but you’ll have your own bathroom and don’t mind the mannequin busts.”
I walk into the room and it was white and gray with a large window and decent sized wardrobe “Thank you, um”
“Um? OH my name!” he caught on to Lili’s struggle “call me Mr. Hakamada, I don’t like being called sir.”
“Okay, got it Mr. Hakamada!” I smiled.
“Great, I’ll let you get settled and meet me up in the loft when you’re done” he turns to leave “and wear a practice suit, training starts today.”
I watch him leave and the nervousness sets in. Never in my life has fear struck me! Dad said I was a fearless baby and rarely cried but I’m feeling a bit like a child. Probably just the fact that this is a pro-hero that’s way more experienced than my dad and has the same quirk. I put on my leotard and muslin stash and make my way to the loft. His place has hard wood, so you can hear me clicking about on my pistons. If I were sneaking, I’d be so dead, but I put on my rubber soles so I don’t ruin his floors. The loft was just as spacious but it looked more like a dance studio but without the mirrors. He sees me and starts to give me that ‘what are you wearing?’ look.
“Is there something the matter?”
“It just that” he pointed at my sash “that muslin doesn’t go with your whole look, what do you use this thing for?”
“Oh this is my extra layer when I do quirk practice” I explained “I can control any fiber cloth material and make anything! As long as I have a mental reference of said thing or I’ve practiced making something.”
“Any fiber?” he said in awe “then I’ve underestimated you!” he unraveled his denim turtle neck “you have a wider range than I do, but can you think fast!”
I almost got caught in his string attachment attack, thank the lord for rocket feet! I unraveled my sash “I can do more than that!”
“Lets see how you feel about not being able to move!” he wrapped my ankles together “hard isn’t it?”
“Two can play at that game!” I binded his pant legs together with my sash “now who’s vulnerable?!”
“You, you don’t have anymore cloth to use” he smirked “you have much to learn.”
I pulled the ribbons out of my hair and used them to bind his wrists together “You don’t tell me when the fights over, I DO!”
“Okay okay, I surrender” he chuckled “you really are your mother’s child.”
I un-binded him “How so?”
“She has the same battle attitude” he freed me from my ankles “it’s a little dangerous how that passed down to you, actually, it’s strange how she created such a child.”
“What do you mean?” I was curious “I’m just doing what feels right.”
“I saw your spars at the sports festival and I was just impressed that you graced the stage with your presence and dance-like moves” he sat on the floor and I followed suit “all the techniques you did like the puppeteer move and the sling were very reminiscent of your mother and I knew I had to mentor you.” He picked up the piece of ribbon that hanged on his wrist “I consider your mother more like my daughter, and I guess making you my grand-daughter.”
“Like a daughter?” that make me think “do you have a family?”
“I don’t, it’s one of my regrets in life” he sighed as he tied the ribbon into a bow “I spend my time working on being a top hero that I just lost contact with anybody remotely interested in me. All my friends were in hero work so it didn’t hit me that I was alone until one of my side-kicks asked for paternal leave because his wife was due any day and he wanted to be there for her and the baby. That really put my life in perspective, what does it matter if I’m a top hero if I don’t have anybody to come home to?” he pulled at the bow to undo it “then I met your mother, a young but tragic girl that wasn’t ready to leave her parents. I felt the need to care for her, so I’d check up on her and such. I went as far as giving her some spending money and giving her gifts on her birthday and Christmas! In return she always lends her abilities and comes to me for help.” He gasps “I can show you actually, come with me.”
He leads me to his workroom, bolts of fabric on the wall and other cloth pieces scattered about. He hands me a photo album “What’s this?”
“I have pictures of your mother when she was your age and other life stages” he opened the book “That’s her when she first arrived, that’s on her last day of her internship” he flips a few pages “here’s what I wanted to show you, I’ve created all of your mother’s iconic looks.”
“All of them?! I’ve only seen some of these in magazines and video!” I was in awe at all of my favorite looks “the whole reason I got into making my own costumes for dance was because I was inspired by some of these iconic looks” I pointed at a picture “like her blush pink power-business suit and the electric blue geometric dress at her Techies Gala premiere!” I turn the page and saw pictures of my parents “you made those too? My dad must’ve really loved my mom to be matching with her in these get ups!” I turn another page “that’s the wedding! You made her wedding dress?! Mom won’t even let me near that dress! I loved the sleeves and the shape of the train, especially the obi.” I pointed at my sash “it was my inspiration to my hero costume, I have an obi like middle that I use in battle.”
“You like my works to that point?” he was flattered “oh sweet child, I hoped you liked my designs” he turned to the next page “do you remember this dress?”
“Oh hey thats me!” I look at the picture of me in my toddler years “I loved that dress so much I never wanted to take it off! I cried when I out grew it but by then I could make another one with my quirk.” I looked at the pictures before it “oh, those are also me. You did hold me when I was a few weeks old.” I look up at him “why didn’t you visit?”
He sighed “I joined the fashion scene under an artist name and got very busy” you could feel the guilt in the air “I was traveling to China and Milan, parts of Europe for work and I just didn’t really have time to come by and visit.” he smiled “but your mother always sent me pictures of you and your siblings. On those rare days when our schedules align, we go out for some dim sum in disguises. On my rough days, I look at the pictures of you guys and it makes me feel like I’m working hard for my family and it gives me purpose to keep going.”
“Well, if it gives you purpose then I’m happy to be part of your family” I smile back “should we go back to training?”
“I think we’re good for today” he checked the time “it’s nearly time for dinner, what would you like to eat?”
“Rice and cold dish!” I tap my feet excitedly.
“Alright then, lets start cooking” he makes his way to the kitchen and I follow him. We have pleasant conversation over food and I felt less nervous around him. “Oh and before I forget! We’re going on a day patrol in plain clothes, be sure to be ready to go at 8am.”
I paused before I made my way to my room “Plain clothes at 8am, got it!”
“Good night Lili”
“Good night Mr Hakamada”
-Next morning-
“Alright, it’s just a short ways this way” he said as we hopped off the train “reason why we’re patrolling here is for more insider experience.”
“What do you mean?” I was a bit confused on why he couldn’t just tell me.
“You’ll see” he stops in front of a 3 story building “we’re here.”
After a few turns in the winding hallways of this place, he opens the door to a large professional fashion workroom “Oh my goodness! It’s the ICONIQUE workroom!” I turn to him “you work for them?!”
“I do, after your mother’s wedding dress went viral” he took off his scarf and light coat “it caught wind of this place that wanted to know who I was and wanted to give me a spot to design and create without the media knowing it’s me.”
“That’s so cool! What do you design here?” I look at the half finished gown on a mannequin “I’ve only seen snapchat stories of this place and they have different featured categories.”
“I do the statement and traditional designs” he points to a covered mannequin “this is what I just finished but yet to be featured on the platforms” he pulled the cloth covering to show me “a chiffon kimono with the obi to match.”
“OOOH! Translucent!” I loved this bold traditional piece “what an honor to get the insider on the next feature!” I remembered why I was here, not to tour this place but to do my internship “oh! what’s the reason to bring me here?”
“The point of being plain clothes patrolling is to lead a double identity” he hands them a lanyard with a badge “today, you are my understudy, Miss Natalan Ono. You are an arts student that was selected to observe and assist me on my next piece.” He sat at this work chair “You’re a legacy child because you’re related to Yoko Ono and is following in their footsteps. Now, back-stories aside, your role is to observe everyone and report suspicious activity to me. Nobody knows who I was before and I’ve noticed some suspicious heads.”
“Got it! One question though” I pointed at my badge “why Yoko Ono? Doesn’t the arts community hate her?”
“Yes but I’m not that creative” he chuckled “your mother is the master of backstory, maybe you can fill in some of the blanks that I left.” He swiveled to his work bench “now, can you get me some tea from the lounge? We passed it in the hallway.”
“Sure thing!” I put the badge on and made my way to the lounge. There were quite a few people in there and I was on high alert for any suspicious activity.
“Hi there!” called out a cheery voice as I poured some tea “haven’t seen you around here before? Are you a new hire?”
I gulped hard before turning to them, think of something Lili! “Um hello, I’m sadly not a new hire” I fixed my glasses shyly “I’m just interning for someone.”
I see their eyes shift to my badge, their smile disappeared “Oh...you’re that Ono legacy child Hakamada-kun has been talking about” she gave me a dirty look “I don’t care how good you are, you don’t deserve to be in his presence!”
“Um if I may ask, why do you think I’m not worthy?” I was getting whiplash from their change of tone.
“He’s a genius! Not to mention tall and brooding, nobody understands him except me!” she was giving off major yandere vibes and I was getting scared “he might turn down my help but it should be me in that workroom!”
I watch her turn away and the others in the room were staring at me now. Oof I probably gave myself away for everyone to pester me. Making my way around that office was harder now, everyone was giving me dirty looks and didn’t talk to me.
“Ready to go?” He asked as he put on his scarf.
I check the time, it was 5pm “Let me just get my bag and I’ll be ready.”
“How was your patrolling?”
“Awful, everyone was giving me dirty looks after that one yandere lady approached me.”
“You had the displeasure of meeting her huh?” he cringed “I have a feeling she’s taking her obsession a little too far.”
“What makes you believe that?”
“Well, some of my key patterns come up missing and it forces me to talk to her because she’s in the patterns department” he recalls “some of my embroidery hoops get roughed up when I want to use them, and my mannequins get moved around every time I come in the studio.”
“If that’s the case, then I guess some confrontation will have to do” I walk with him down the hall to leave and we run into her.
“Oh! You’re heading out for the day?”
“Yes I am, my intern and I were going for some dinner before going home.”
My heart stopped, why the fuck did he say that? Now it sounds like we’re in a relationship! Say something Lili! “As a thank you for taking me in! We should get going Mr. Hakamada! My parents are waiting at the dim sum place” I bow to the lady “it was nice meeting you! Have a nice evening.” We scurry out of earshot “What the hell are you trying to do! Get yourself accused of romancing your intern in front of a yandere?!”
“I realized my mistake the second it came out of my mouth” he turned red “I have a feeling I’m going to see a lot of things missing tomorrow.”
We get home and spend time just hanging out, cooked dinner and pleasant conversation. Just like a family, but I knew in the back of my mind that it’s not a pleasure stay here. It was almost like he arranged things to be like this so he wouldn’t be alone. We went to the studio the next day to find no mannequins in the room.
“Oh this is bad Lili” He said as he checked all around the space for one “I have to present this chiffon kimono today for the media directors to post on the platforms.”
Think Lili, THINK! “Does it have to be on a mannequin?”
“No but where am I going to find an alternative in time?”
I give twirl “I might of gained some muscle on my slender physique but I’m a good clothes model” I point to the bolt of muslin “we can make a full body suit of muslin on me to mimic the look of one but I do some movement and complex posing.”
“You know what, I love that idea” he took the bolt out of the wall of fabric “Lets get started!”
It took almost an hour to get me ready for the spread but of course the yandere lady walks in on him dressing me in the kimono.
“Oh! Is that what you’re presenting today?! It’s gorgeous!”
“It’s my greatest work yet” he sighed “say, have you heard of all the mannequins going missing?”
“Can’t say that I have!” her tone was so fake, I wanted to punch her in the face “why? Have yours gone missing?”
“They have! But my intern is on the case” he was ad libbing “She’s amazing and quick thinking! She’s at the head of security right now checking the security cameras for theft.”
“Is that so? I hope security doesn’t give her trouble” you can hear the panic in her voice, wish I could see her face “well I’ll go fetch her for you.”
He waits for her to leave “Thanks for not moving, that would’ve set her off.”
“I was trying so hard not to call her out or punch her face!” I huffed “seriously, the nerve of her!”
The people came in to take pictures and such. They were surprised to see that I was the mannequin and said that it adds to the aesthetic of the garment. It was cool to see how they set things up for showcasing, I couldn’t wait to tell Rosa and my mom that I was the model for the garment! Once everything was done, I unraveled the muslin off me and I looked at myself in the mirror with the kimono on. I loved the shade of pink and the shape of it, I couldn’t stop looking at myself.
“You really love that garment huh?”
“I do! I’ve been a fan of kimono and all the traditional Japanese clothing” I look at him from the mirror “when I get married, I want to have a Japanese wedding and wear my mother’s obi and a custom kimono.”
“I hope to be in attendance then!” he chuckled as he came up behind me in the mirror “will this old man have a place in the audience?”
I turn to face him “Always, aren’t we family?” I hugged him “I don’t care if this is a little weird.”
“Oh child” his voice cracked a bit “you’re as loving as your mother” he hugged back “I wish I could’ve been there to see you grow up.”
“Well, I’m still growing” I didn’t break the hug yet “it’s not too late, you can still be in my life as I go through hero school and become a dancer.”
“Hmmm, why did you go the hero route?” he broke the hug “you clearly have a passion for dance and costuming.”
“Well, aside from not getting into any of the schools I applied to” I felt like I got caught “I’m attending UA to spite my dad. He puts pressure on me as the oldest to follow in his footsteps but I don’t want to be one of the great and noble Iida family!” I stomped my feet to show my frustration “I want to go to a dance academy but mom says I’m too young to be sent away like that. So the plan is to get strong and more than capable to be sent away for dance academy like I were to go to college. That way I can defend myself to give my parents the ease of mind while I’m away.”
“Are you planning to use your hero skills in anyway?”
“Um, uhhh I’m not sure” that really got me thinking “maybe if dad decides to step down as Ingenium, then I could take over if need be.”
“So you’re here with no plan and no real motive?”
“No sir” if he put it like that, then I feel guilty for being here.
“Child, I’m not here to shame you” he got down to my level “I want to give you motive to be the best hero you can be, even if you don’t plan on being one per-say.”
“Huh? How can I be one without being one?”
“You can inspire a new type of hero” he put his hands on my shoulders “being the dancing hero that graces the stage and apprehends villains. Who knows, you might even start an academy of your own!”
“Dancing hero...I like the sound of that!” I smile and hop in place “do you really think I can be an inspiration?”
“Your mother did, I don’t see how you can’t” he stood up and put his hand on my head “come on, we have some more work to do.”
I take the garment off and get back to being his intern. His words filled that void of belonging in this hero world. He tells me more stories of his hero days when we got home, like a grandfather telling stories to their grandchildren. Now I really feel like I’m at a family member’s house and not at my internship!
“Hey can I call you grandpa?” I asked before going to my room for the night “like in a respectable way?”
He looked at me in shock but then thought about it “You may as long as it’s respectable.”
“Okay then!” I watch him walk to his room “good night grandpa!”
He stopped to respond “Good night Lili.”
The next day we did actual training and I was engrossed in everything he was teaching me. From the way I’m supposed to move to the new techniques I’ve never heard of...everything was being soaked in. Because now I have purpose, I don’t want to spite my dad, I want to make grandpa proud of me! I want to be a hero that little 5 year old me would be inspired by to start dancing and feel confident in their rocket feet...I know what I have to do now.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]
Lost and confused? See this post to catch up!
Chapter 2: Hahaha I Do That
Hero school doesn’t suck as much as I thought. Probably because my aunty Midnight is still there teaching and she makes me feel like I’m my own person. Everyone else just compares me to my dad, love the man but I’m here to spite him. It’s my mom’s birthday today, I hurry home to see what my dad was planning for her. I get home to see my dad comforting my mom on the couch, I stay quiet to drop in on what they’re saying.
“Darling, everything’s alright”
“I know but it’s been 26 years! I want to go home.”
“Please don’t lose hope, I don’t want to hear you giving up!”
“My heart hurts, I can’t think.”
“Go recoup in the office, I’ll handle things here”
“Okay...I love you.”
“I love you more.” They kiss and mom warps out as my dad stands up. He spots me “Oh Lili you’re home! I didn’t hear you.”
“Is mom okay? She was crying” I was concerned because mom is usually so composed and cool headed “did something happen?”
“Its, a complicated concern” Dad hesitated on his words, eyes shifting to the stairs that lead to her office “but why don’t you help me with dinner?”
“Alright, let me change out of my uniform” I trot my way to my room and see that my little sister was also home but probably in the boys room to pester Tensei. I change quickly and get back down to the kitchen to see my dad scolding my brothers.
“Boys! Stop eating cookies or you’ll ruin your appetite!”
“You don’t tell me what to do old man!” growled Tensei as he took 3 cookies from the platter and warped away with Iwa.
“What are you making dad?” I walk up to him to help.
“I’m making ceviche and other raw cuts with sushi rice” he whispered “it’s your mom’s favorite as a child” he pointed at the vegetables “can you help me chop up these?”
As I cut the ingredients, I watch how shifty my dad was getting “Dad, can I ask you something? About mom?”
“Of course!” he turned off the stove “what do you want to know?”
“When was the last time she went to her home country?” I put the knife down “I know she’s from America and all her family is there, but doesn’t she visit when she’s homesick?”
“Oh dear” he sighed in defeat “your mother hasn’t been in America since she came over here at the age of 15.”
I was in shock “Why hasn’t she gone?”
“Lili, there’s a lot of things your mother has been through that she doesn’t like to share” his eyes shift to the family photo in the dining room “it was traumatic and heartbreaking, but she had to leave her home to protect her family and herself from all the violence back home” he put his hand on her cheek “it’s just not safe for her to go back but she’s not alone anymore. She has us to fill the void of home in her heart.”
Things sort of made sense “Does ever miss her old home?”
“All the time!” he laughed “your mom would tell me stories about her home when we were in high school. She lived right behind the high school she attended but she wasn’t allowed to teleport in so she’d have to walk like everyone else!”
We continue making dinner as he told me mom’s stories, but I was tempted to eat a cookie “Did you make these cookies dad?”
“I did! They hold a very special significance to your mother and I”
“How?”
“You see, I met your mother on her 16th birthday and she made these cookies to celebrate with us but she got shy and didn’t say it was her birthday” he reminisced “so we all thought she was being nice. It was the most delicious cookie I’ve ever had and I had to talk to her after class to thank her. So when I did, I saw her face up close and I didn’t know how to act” he blushed “I accidentally made her cry and got in trouble by Midnight but if it wasn’t for this cookie, I wouldn’t have known that your mother was my soulmate.”
“Soulmate? How did you know she was your soulmate?”
“Every time I see her smile and laugh, it makes me happy. When I talk to her, my mind blanks and I lose my cool” a smile cracks on his face “When I hold her in my arms after a rough day, it feels like I have the world in my arms. And when I held her hand for the first time, I felt my heart skipping beats. That’s when I knew that she was someone special and I would be a fool to let go.”
I meditated on those words all through dinner and into bedtime. If my dad could figure it out, I can too! I decided that tomorrow I should tell Maru that I don’t have feelings for him.
-The next day, Lunchtime-
“Yah know Togata” I started as I looked at them down their rice “I still can’t figure out where I’ve seen you and it’s bothering me.”
“How so?” they said with their mouth full
“Like, I’ve told my mom about you and your dad” I recalled “she said that she doesn’t like working with your dad but she knows that he has 2 sons and a daughter. But she doesn’t remember the last time she’s seen the kids.”
“Yea, since mom died, my dad has been very protective of us” they wiped their mouth “if you didn’t know us before that, then seeing us now would’ve been a weird surprise.”
“Well what about your sister?”
“Let’s just say, she’s not dead but no longer with us.”
“Huh? What do you-”
“LILI! Mind if I sit here?!” Maru yelled, interrupting me.
“Oh um, I rather if you don’t Maru.”
“Why not?” he pouted “I haven’t spend anytime with you since the first day!”
“Well I’m getting to know my classmate here” I gesture toward them “now if you don’t mind, we were in the middle of something.”
“Oh right! Sorry to bother!” he backed away when he saw Hoshi “I see you after school?”
“Yea, see you later!”
Hoshi gave me the wide eyes “You didn’t tell me you and the number 1 hero’s son are like...that.”
“Oh god no!” I gagged at the thought “I’ve known him since I was born and he’s just my friend” I huffed “he looks and smells like a Brussels sprout!”
Hoshi bursts out laughing “A brussels sprout?! Oh man I’m dying!” he fans himself “I didn’t know you were so funny Iida-san!”
I don’t know why, but their laugher sparked joy and it made me soft. When school ended for the day, I waited for Maru by the parking lot.
“Sorry to keep you waiting Lili” Maru ran up to me “were you waiting long?”
“No I’ve been here for a few minutes.”
“Cool, oh! Did you want to go get some boba?” he clapped “there’s this good place here at the town square.”
“I’ve been, I prefer the cafe though” I fixed my glasses “I’m an iced coffee person, I just wanted to walk and talk.”
“Oh alright” we started walking “what did you want to talk about?”
“You know what you said after my summer showcase?”
“Yea, what about it?”
“I know that you care about me and I appreciate your company but I just” I tried to keep my tone neutral “it had nothing to do with you, but I don’t feel the same way you feel towards me.”
“You don’t want to be my wife?” he said sadly.
“I just think you could do better” I said to disarm the situation “like when you kissed me, it was my first kiss and I didn’t feel anything! No change in my heart rate, no warm fuzzy feelings nor any sort of happiness.”
“Let me try again” he leaned in as I leaned away “please Lili, I want to be your love and I feel strongly about you.”
“But I don’t and I’m sorry” I was really feeling bad that I broke his heart “who knows! Maybe down the line when we become adults, we’ll reunite and start something.”
“I really thought you’d feel the same” he sighed “your the only girl that’ll talk to me.”
“What about Bakugo-san?”
“Elise? They’re not a girl” he hard exhaled “they’re the embodiment of angry!”
“I always thought you two would be together” I pouted “I shipped you two so hard as a child that I wanted to be the flower girl at your wedding!”
“Silly girl! I like the sweet and pretty types” he ruffled her hair.
“Gah! Not the hair!” I punched him “I’m not sweet, I’m tough as fuck!”
He gave me a once-over “Didn’t know tough girls wore pink lace socks with ribbons in their hair.”
I got home and was greeted by the congregation of my mom, Mimi and Jin in the kitchen.
“I’m home!”
“Welcome home Lili!” they chanted.
“What’s the haps?”
“We didn’t end up going to Hiroshima for that meeting” Jin explained “so we’re just chillin here, watching the little ones.”
“Nikita is starting to develop her quirk very nicely” Mimi said proudly “she can now mimic my voice!”
“Oh that’s cool!” I looked at my mom “also, I talked to my new friend and they said that they do have 2 older brothers but that the sister is not with them anymore?”
“That’s slightly concerning” Mom put her cup down “Oh jeez it’s been years since I’ve seen Mirio’s kids. I swear those kids are more secured than our facilities!”
“Yup! I can’t find a single thing about the kids” Jin sighed “no medical records, dental records, school records nor pictures past a certain point!”
“Well in any case, I’m glad that one of the boys is alright” Mom tried to change the mood to something more positive “Lili can you go check on the kids? They’ve been awfully quiet.”
I nod and put my bag down to find them. They were outside, laying on the grass.
“Y’all dead?”
“No! Just tired” Rosa snapped “Nikita is a little too energetic.”
“I was going ZOOOOM!” clapped Nikita.
“Well if y’all just tired” I turned to go back inside “then carry on.” I go to my room and get started on my homework. The scene of Hoshi laughing popped up in my head before I had to wash up for dinner, I don’t think I’ve ever felt soft over a laugh before. Am I in love? Or am I just excited to have a friend other than Maru? Either way, Hoshi and I are in fact good friends! And I’m happy that I’m not unlikeable in this new environment, I’ve had classmates that compliment me and say hello and good bye to me at least! I guess being in the cutthroat world of dance really makes one cold and bitter when you want to be the best.
-2 weeks later, UA training grounds-
“Iida-san, can you make a net so we can catch all the targets?”
“Sure thing! One net coming right up!” I rubbed my hands as I unraveled the muslin sash on my waist “tell me when to stop.”
“uhhh....okay stop! That’s good” my classmate commanded “okay everyone take a corner and lets catch the targets as they fall.”
We’re in groups of 5 for some team building rescue, my team was getting along fine....other’s struggled quite a bit. When we all recouped before heading in for the day, I noticed that Hoshi’s PE top was ripped.
“Hey I can fix your top real quick if you want” I offered as we walked to the locker rooms.
“Um sure BUT um lets go over there” Hoshi panicked and pointed to the edge of the school garden “I don’t want anyone to see.”
“Alright lets” we walk over and the whole time he’s being skiddish “um, that rip is bigger than I thought, mind if you lift your arms a bit so I can get a proper fix?”
“Yea, I MEAN NO!” he lifted his arms but then quickly dropped them “I don’t feel comfortable doing that.”
“Oh I see” I take off my sash “my top wont fit you but you can cover up with this until I fix the top.”
“It’s not that” he starts to turn red “I’m just scared about what you’ll think about this thing I have on.”
I look at the rip and I see that he has a spandex-like undershirt and toned stomach “I don’t see anything out of the ordinary?”
He sighs and takes a quick look around to see if there was anybody watching “Okay, I’ll show you” he takes off his top and tosses to me “um, I’m not sure how to say this, I haven’t shown anybody this.”
I look and I don’t see what’s the thing he’s referring to “What is it? All I see is compression top and your toned body” I poked my stomach “my body is still a little soft in some places.”
This makes him feel a little less nervous “It’s not that but I’m” he takes a deep breath “I’m transgender, I wasn’t born male. This is my chest binder to hide the one thing that will give away my secret.”
“I had no idea” everything clicked for me “wait, does that mean that you WERE the sister I was talking about?”
“Yes, and I knew the whole time who you were” he sighed “remember the night of the hero’s gala? My dad and your parents were talking and we played together” he smiled with tears in his eyes “you snuck me outside so we could star-gaze and you said-”
“Make a wish! My wish is that all your wishes will come true!” I remembered what I said as a child “that’s right! I said that and my favorite thing were stars because in Japanese it means wish and star!”
He nodded as he wiped his tears “That moved me so much as a child because my mom died and I needed something to give me hope” he looked up at me “you saved me Lili, I wished to see you again and that we could be friends. I even changed my name to Hoshi!”
My mind was racing and I felt my heart skipping beats “And your wishes did come true, we did meet again” I smiled “and we are friends, I won’t tell anybody about this.”
“You mean it?” he was surprised to hear me say that “You’re not disgusted by me?”
“Why would I be disgusted? I thought you were one of the boys until you showed me this” I looked at the ripped top “I should fix this!” I fixed the garment and handed it back “you’re my friend Togata-san! Friends don’t let their friend’s secrets out. You can come out whenever you’re ready to tell the world, but for now, I’m glad you told me and I’m happy you’re living your truth.”
He looked at me wide eyed and ran forward to hug me “I’m so happy you accept me for me” he sobbed “it’s been so hard for me to find someone that cares that isn’t my brothers. You can call me Hoshi.”
“It’s not problem!” I hugged back “then you can call me Lili.”
I took note on Hoshi’s appearance and I couldn’t tell if they were female before, the only thing that made them familiar to me were their nose and eyes. He had lighter blonde hair, dark blue eyes and the same height as me, and I’m a tall girl to some! He had some muscle build on him that made his embrace feel secure. I feel myself go soft again, something was happening but I’m not sure what. We spent more time together after that, I told my mom the truth. She was so relieved and happy for them! She encouraged me to bring them over whenever. Hoshi was even happier to know that my mom cared about them too.
“Hey Lili, wanna go to town square with me?” Maru confronted me after school.
“Sorry not today Maru” I winced “I’m going home, It’s Iwa’s birthday.”
“Aw I see” He facepalmed “I forgot that you had siblings for a second heh” he fixed his shoulder strap “I was hoping to spend some time with you, it’s been weeks since we’ve had some one on one time.”
“Yea it has been a while” I push my glasses up “but maybe Elise-sama can accompany you today.”
“Since when did you-”
“DAMN RIGHT I’M FUCKING LADY!” Maru was drowned out by Elise’s holler “Omaru! What are you doing loitering around?”
“He was just telling me he wanted someone to accompany him to the boba shop” I butt in before Maru had a chance to speak.
“I’ll be happy to go!” Elise quickly takes a death hold on Maru’s hand “Why go with this little girl when you have me. Let’s go Omaru!”
“Hey wait!” Maru tried to protest but he was already being dragged down the hall by Elise. He looked back to see Lili and Hoshi walking away in the opposite direction. That really bothered him that he didn’t even notice that Elise literally dragged him by the hand all the way to the boba shop.
“Hey circle head!” Elise let go of his hand “what’s with you? You’re not as annoying lately.”
He sat down at the patio table “What are you talking about?”
“You and twinkle toes-chan” she crossed her arms as she sat down across him “you did something stupid and now she’s not happily joining you anywhere.”
He sighed “you caught me” he put his head down on the table “I kissed Lili the weekend before dorm move-in, and I really though she’d say yes to being my girlfriend but she just panicked and bolted away” he cringed a little remembering that night “she even told me later that she doesn’t have feelings for me and that I could do better. Now she has a new friend and she hardly wants to be around me. I don’t know what I did wrong.”
“You know what I think” Elise put a finger on his forehead “I think that you need to let go, yea you two are friends but you treat her like she’s the only girl in the world!” she flicked his forehead “newsflash Omaru! There’s girls throwing themselves onto you for you to even look at them! You’re so dense and narrow sighted to things that it pisses me off!”
He rubs his forehead “Gee I’m sorry that I like somebody so much” he sat up “but don’t know if I can let go.”
“You have to, she’s all grown up” she sighs “we all grew up together, I’ve noticed all her changes. To be honest, I hope they end up with their new friend” she smiled “they’re so adorable together, a graceful type with their brawny type.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of” he said in a defeated way “I’m being shut out and I’m not the one she depends on anymore.”
“Don’t turn this into a harem thing for her” she rolled her eyes “she’s going to beat the shit out of you if you try to do any of your romantic gestures” she puts her hands up “I’m calling it now.”
“And what are you going to do if she doesn’t?”
“I’m going to beat the shit out of you” she growled “stupid, you’re not going to be ‘the one’ and you’re a fool if you think you are.”
“And what if she does?”
“I’m going to laugh at you, patch you up and kiss your stupid face” she laughed “you’re not the only one with a childhood crush.”
“Oh” he turned red and covered his face “GYA why do I need to get my ass kicked to get what I want?!”
More people are taking note on my new level of friendship with Hoshi. Some were bold enough to ask if we were dating, of course we said no every time. I don’t know if what I have is love or respect for Hoshi! It’s all confusing but we’re enjoying each other’s company and conversations. We even train together but that’s mostly because in the case of their top ripping, I could quickly fix it. The weeks fly by so fast that the Sports Festival comes around and I wasn’t feelin’ it.
“I don’t wanna show them my skills like a show pony!” I huffed and stomped “Dad, isn’t there a work around?!”
“I’m afraid there isn’t” he sighed “look, it’s just a one time thing and you are guaranteed one internship with uncle Tensei if you don’t do everything.”
“I’m not in the mood to show the pros what I can do” I crossed my arms “humph! I wanna dance for the masses, not fight!”
Mom puts her hands on my shoulders “Listen up kiddo, how I see it” she makes eye contact with Lili “if you make your fighting as stylistic as possible, you’re putting on a good show and everyone will be like ‘look how pretty she moves!’ and all the while, you’re just dancing!”
“You know what, I just might do that!” I smile “thanks mom! I guess I should go into my wing to get announced in” I turn to run to my place “see you later!”
Her parents waved her off until she was out of sight “Can you believe my little girl, growing up in my footsteps?!”
“Tenya, are you crying?”
“It’s just that, it seemed like a week ago I was holding her in my arms for the first time” he wiped his tears “and yesterday she was dancing around in her little pink dresses, now she’s on her way to be a hero!”
“Come on you cry baby! We have to hurry to our box seats if you want to see the opening ceremony.”
I tried my best while giving a show during the spars. Kinda fucked up to pit us against each other like this but I’m not going to question anybody about it. I didn’t make it to the final round, putting me in 5th place. Hoshi got 3rd and that was pretty cool! For a brief moment I saw his family, he didn’t look too happy to be with them and I wondered why. I didn’t ask though.
-The following Monday-
“Who do you think you got offers from?” asked my classmate.
“I know I got an obligatory offer from my uncle’s agency” I rolled my eyes “as much as I love my family, I don’t want to be under my uncle’s and dad’s wing.”
“Who’s your uncle and dad?” asked another confused classmate.
“Are you kidding me?” Hoshi spoke up “did the rocket feet not give it away?! Her family carries the Ingenium legacy!” he pointed at my features “glasses, tall, strong legs... all features of the current Ingenium, her dad.”
“WAH?! You’re basically royalty Iida-san!”
“Oh please! I’m nothing like that Turbo Doofus” I blushed “in all honesty, my mom made the family line much more interesting with all the random quirks like my second quirk” I waved my hands to reshape my hair ribbons into a lasso to pull the chair in front of me, making my classmate miss their chair and fall on their butt “who knows, I might fuck it up and make us known for something else.”
“Alright class, settle down” sensei walks in with a huge stack of packets “I have offers to pass back to you, some of you got a little too much attention so be warned on the thickness of your packets” he starts to pass out the packets “...and here’s yours Miss Iida.”
I get my packet and it’s very light. I look over to the others and see their’s are obviously thicker, guess nobody wanted dancing hero Lili. Flipping into the offers part, I got one from uncle Tensei and another from...Best Jeanist? Who the hell is that? “Hey Hoshi, did you get an offer from a Best Jeanist?”
He flipped through his papers to check “Nope, but I’ve never heard of them?” he pondered “maybe he’s new?”
“Doubt, the agencies in attendance were all well known ones” I furrowed my brow “this is weird, I’ll ask my parents then.” When the day ended and I got home, my parents freaked out over the name.
“WHAT?! HE WAS THERE?!” mom screamed and panicked “Oh my god oh my god oh my god!”
“I don’t- what?!” dad was sweating as he quadruple checked the offer sheet “it can’t be?! After all this time?!”
“What’s the big deal! Tell me!” I was freaking out because my parents never collectively lose their shit over things.
Mom takes a few calming breaths “Okay, I’m cool, I can be cool” she turns toward me “Best Jeanist is the hero I interned under way back when” she cracked the biggest smile “and why we’re both shaken up is because he retired like 20 years ago and he was doing some traveling last time I spoke to him.”
“Yeah, he was an amazing hero! Number 4 to be exact” dad butted in “he worked with your uncle and some of my family in hero work. You probably don’t remember him, he held you as a baby and even made you that pink satin dress you loved so much.”
“He made me that dress?” I remembered the dress but not who made it for me “but if you say he’s retired, why extend an offer? Is that allowed?”
“I’m not sure” dad pondered and handed the packet back to me “looks like you have to make a difficult decision.”
I sat at my desk for what seemed days, trying to weight out my options. I made my decision an hour before the paperwork was due on Wednesday....hope I made the right choice.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]
Lost and confused on this here day? Start from the WAAAY beginning!
Chapter 1: It is Wednesday My Dudes.
Howdy! I guess I should introduce myself? Oof UMMMMMM, the names Lili Perla Iida! I’m 15 years old, about to turn 16, and I’m the oldest of 4 kids. Being big sis feels as natural as the wind in my hair as I pirouette. Speaking of dancing, it’s a Saturday morning, that means I have to get my ass in 5th gear for my private dance lessons. My favorite days are the ones where I get to dance and cause havoc with my siblings! I guess I should head downstairs for breakfast before that robo doggy yips at me for still being in my room.
“Buenos dias mija!” thats my mom, she’s the one bitch I respect the most.
“Good mornin” I greet everyone at the breakfast nook “what’s for breakfast?”
“Spam and eggs with toast” that’s my dad at the stove, I love him but he’s putting too much pressure on me to follow his footsteps. “Here’s your coffee.”
“Oh FUCK yea!” I holler as I jump into my spot at the nook. There’s nothing more I love than some egg and toast with my iced coffee.
“I’m hungies! Please just gimme one toast!” thats my younger brother Iwata, but I call him Iwee or Iwa, don’t tell the other two but he’s my favorite sibling. He’s the one that schemes and I say if that’s doable or not.
“DADDY! Tensei is teleporting my forkfuls into his mouth!”
“MOMMY! Hanaka set my toast on fire!” those two brats are my twin siblings, Hanaka and Tensei but I call them by their middle names, Rosa and Oro. Rosa is half-way decent to be around, so I share a room with her. Oro is a punk ass bitch in the making but I can’t hate him too much, he’s an intellectual.
“Can’t we go one breakfast without something catching on fire?” I rolled my eyes as I got served “thanks dad.”
“Nope, fuck you” Rosa stuck her tongue out “TENSEI STOP!”
“Hanaka! What did we say about tongues?” scolded dad “your family isn’t fire proof!” he turned to Oro “and what did we say about pestering your sister?”
“I shouldn’t play with fire unless I wish to get burned” the boy pouted and crossed his arms “but Iwa and I are hungies!”
“Here’s your plates” dad slid the food in front of the two boys “no more yelling or I’m taking away toast privileges!”
“NOOO THAT’S NOT FAIR!” we whined, you can take away our freedom but us Iida kids will be DAMNED if the sanctity of toast in the morning gets taken away.
“Oh shit, listen to your father” mom jeered as dad sat next to her “oh Lili, don’t forget about applications for entrance exams.”
“I still don’t know where to consider” I sigh as I butter my toast “like, I get that theres privates that have scouted me to go to their’s but I just wanna go to a dance school.”
“Sweet heart, you know we can’t just send you off overseas so young!” mom spoke with a hint of worry “besides, you still have private lessons at the institute until you turn 18! I won’t let you go off without the things you love to do.”
“You can always apply to UA” dad spoke up as he cut his spam “with the recommendations we can give, you don’t have to take the entrance exam.”
“Ugh, I can’t dance if I’m going to a hero school” I huffed “I don’t wanna go to your pompous alma mater dad. No offense mom.”
“None taken, not even I wanted to be there” mom responded so casually.
Dad gave her a side glance “May I remind you on who you met in said pompous school that helped build this family?”
“May I remind you on who was too much of a little bitch to tell me they liked me at said pompous school even though we saw each other basically everyday” she sipped her coffee loudly, marking her win.
“Oof I felt that roast in my DNA” Iwa hit the whoa “that shit hurted, F in the chat for Dad’s pride.
“F” chanted everyone but dad.
After breakfast, I grab my duffle bag and make my way to town.
“Good morning Lili!” thats my aunty Mimi, her and my mom are besties “say good morning Nikita.”
“Guden Morgen Lili!” that’s Nikita, Mimi’s daughter. She’s just a year younger than my twin siblings and today they have a little playdate as my mom and Mimi go to work.
“Mornin’! See y’all later!” I wave them off.
“Oh Lili! Good Morning!” that’s my uncle Jin, he lives next door to us and is besties with my mom and Mimi. For someone that doesn’t have kids, he sure does know how to care for them.
“Mornin’! Are you driving today?”
“Yep, can’t let the media know your mom’s car needs detailing!” he joked as he waved me off.
The dance institute I attend is in the same town we live in and just a 20 min walk from the gated community we live in. Well, 20 minutes for me because I walk kinda fast because of the engines on my feet. Dumb location for the quirk but it does help me when I dance.
“Ah Lili! There you are!” cried out my dance teacher as I walked in “can you lend me a hand in costuming? We need re-adjustments for a few costumes for the level 3s.”
“Of course I’ll help, be right there in a jiffy!” I rush into the costuming room, my second home at times! The lord has blessed me with a second quirk, Master Thread, and I like it more than my other one. It’s not dumb and super useful! I heard that there was once a pro-hero that had the same quirk and my parents knew him before his retirement. My mom says that she interned under his agency and he favored her for her Copy quirk. How cool is it that?! But hero stuff ain’t for me, I just wanna look pretty and dance for the masses. Maybe one day make elaborate ballet costumes, I already make my own at home to practice my quirk. How lucky am I to have such supportive parents?! After I finish the adjustments, I quickly put on my pointe shoes to do a practice run of our summer showcase. As much as I work well with the others in my class, I’m not friends with any of them and I don’t blame them. The instructors show me too much favoritism and even I’d hate me for hogging the attention.
“Lili! Marvelous work!” one of the instructors praised “how about we make you a solo act for this season finale?!”
“Me?! On such short notice?!”
“Yea! I thought I was going to do a solo act?!” huffed one of the girls on stage.
“Yes, you and Lili are going to be solos” they responded “we need to fill out time for our show and I know Lili can give quite a show.”
I looked around to my dance-mates and they all rolled their eyes “I mean, sure but I don’t know how good I can make a solo act in a month and a half!”
“Great!” they clapped “okay, from the top! We need to work on those jumps!”
As usual, nobody bids me good bye at the end of class. I’ve known most of them since I started there at age 5 and they don’t give me the decency to say hello or good bye! It sucks but I didn’t join to make friends. I walk through the streets to get to the fabric store I frequent, you’ll often catch me here after school or practice.
“Lili! Hey!” that’s Maru, he’s son of the number 1 hero, Deku. Our parents are friends and his dad owes his life to my mom because of her quick thinking that saved him back during the UA days. So I guess Maru is my friend?
“Oh sup Maru” I stopped walking as he ran toward me “what brings you around these here parts?”
“I was just looking at some of those shops” he points down the street “theres always cool stuff around here.”
“Yea there is, anyways, wanna join me?” I get giddy “I heading into the fabric store and I need some opinions.”
“I’m your guy!” he joins me as I fully geek out over the new satins.
“Okay so which one? The candy blue” I hover the bolt over my chest “the pearlescent one OR this blush pink?”
“I’m torn between the pearl and pink one” he mutters to himself “what are you trying to make?”
“Another costume, I got a solo act but I have yet to come up with something.”
“Oh that’s not fair! Isn’t the showcase in a few weeks?”
“THAT’S WHAT I SAID!” I groaned “I need so much help Maru! Plus I have to get started on applications and it’s all just a mess.”
“Well, if you ask me” he gets up and walks up to Lili “I think you should get both these satins and I know you’ll come up with something amazing! You’re really good at being graceful” he does a shakey spin “see? And why don’t you apply to UA? So that way we could go to school together!”
“Thank you for your kind words but I’m not going to hero school” I turned to put the blue satin back in the rack “I wanna wear pretty dresses and dance, not kick villain ass!”
“But think about it!” He picked up the two bolts of satin “how cool we’d be as a duo! I’d kick villain ass and you wrap them up to detain them!” he walked up to her “I’d be much braver with you by my side.”
“Be serious!” I laughed as I playfully pushed him “it’s not playtime, it’s hero work! Plus you gotta make your parents proud.”
“But I am serious” he retorted “I want to fight along side you, I want to do lots of things along side you. We’ve been friends since you were born!”
“And? That doesn’t mean you can’t live without me!” I look through the decals section “But you’re already doing great over there.”
I make my purchase and Maru walks me to the front gate before parting ways. What to do? The days just whoosh on by and I don’t have much to go off on. I submit applications to some private high schools that have dance programs but dad keeps insisting that I apply to UA. He had the audacity to give me a physical copy of the application! Apparently hero school apps are due much later than the other schools, for UA it’s October and it’s end of June right now. More time passes and I got a piece together for the showcase along with costume. At this point, I’m just counting the days until I get a response from those other schools I applied to.
-Night of the Summer Showcase-
What a night to be alive and pretty! My costume got the eyes of many that they didn’t notice my tiny fumbles. Another success in my books! My family came out to see me and so did Maru. After, I met up with my parents and Maru also came up to us.
“Amazing show Lili” he hands me a large bouquet of flowers “these are for you!”
“Oh you didn’t have to get me flowers” I was astounded by the mass of pink roses and lilies “but I’m glad you enjoyed the show!”
“I loved your floating spins and the thing at the end when you revealed the satin costume!” he imitated some of my moves “oh um, is it cool if we go for a little walk?”
“Oh sure let me just give these to my mom” I turn to my mom “I’m going for a walk, catch up with yall later.”
“Don’t wander too far! It’s dark out” dad chopped as I turned.
We walk to the garden area to the side of the performance hall “it’s a nice summer night.” commented Maru “the sky is clear too.”
“It is” I smile as I look up “I hardly get the time to look at the sky anymore, I loved star-gazing as a child.”
“Lets star-gaze over there!” Maru pointed to an open patch of grass. We lay on our backs and point at our made up constellations. “You know, I really enjoy your company Lili. You make things so much fun.”
“Thanks I guess?” I really didn’t know how to take that compliment.
“It’s a good thing” he laughed and turned his body on his side, toward me “I’ve been thinking about what you said about just wanting to look pretty and dance. Well, what if I figured out something?”
“What did you figure out?” I was genuinely confused because I don’t remember there being a problem with me wanting that.
“I figured out how you can dance and be pretty with always being by my side” he smiled “we just, get married.”
A record scratched in my head, did this foo just say get married? “Um, what?”
“I know that was a bold thing to say but I was giving it some thought” he explained himself “I like you a lot Lili, I want to be someone you can depend on and I can be someone that supports you in everything you want to do. I’ll be the breadwinner and you can do your thing and not have to work as hard.”
“But I don’t JUST want to be pretty and dance” I butted in “I want to work too! Professional Dancer is a legit career plus I want to go to college” I was starting to think I’m missing the point here “why are you suddenly talking about this?”
“I’m saying that I like you, more than a friend” he meekly spoke “and I want to be a man you can be proud of. You make me feel like I could do anything! Won’t you be my girlfriend?”
My mind was racing but going dumber, how do I tell him that he’s making a mistake without saying it word for word? “Maru, I didn’t know you felt that way!” I scrunched my face “I don’t know what to say.”
“It’s okay, take your time!” he leaned in closer to my face, softening his voice “maybe I should show you how serious I am.” This bitch fully kissed me on the lips, my first kiss and I didn’t feel the sparks or flutters in my tummy. I felt...nothing.
“Huh” I said after he broke the kiss “well uhhhhhh oof um” I stood up “I’ll be talking to ya later” I do finger guns and bolt to the parking lot.
“Wait Lili!” he tried to catch up to me.
“TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME!” I yell before locating my parents “MOM! por favor start the car!” I get in and everyone picked up that I was not okay and something happened but needed some time to sort out my thoughts. Once we got home, I took a shower and slumped in my fuzzy chair in the dark.
There was a knock at my door “Hey, you wanna eat some hot chips with me?” it was Iwa.
“Sure” I open the door to let him in.
“What’s the deal with you? Everything was cool until you started running” he popped open a party size bag of hot cheetos con limon.
“Ugh it’s Maru” I grab a few cheetos “he out of nowhere just confessed and kissed me.”
“Oh shit!”
“Right?! And I feel a little fucked up” I crunched on a cheeto “because I feel like he could do better and when he kissed me, I felt nothing. And that was my first kiss, from my childhood friend!” I put my handful of cheetos in my mouth “I wanted to feel those good feelings but I didn’t. Does that make me a bad person?”
“Dang Lili, from how I see it” he licked the cheeto dust from his thumb “it’s a sign that he’s wrong and you aren’t the one for him” he gestured to the ceiling “the universe isn’t telling you to kiss every boy but just that it’s okay not to reciprocate feelings to somebody else. Your feelings are valid and you’re the baddest bitch here.”
I started to feel a lot better after talking to Iwa. I eventually told my mom and she said basically the same thing. I am confident to say that I am not in love with my friend and I don’t need their validation. Of course I didn’t get a chance to tell Maru since it’s summer and he’s busy with school. In some weird twist of fate, I got rejected by all these schools I applied to. I wasn’t upset, just questioning if this is the universe trying to tell me something.
“You okay sis?” carefully asked Rosa “you don’t look too hot.”
“I don’t know what to do” I spoke up from my desk “nothing but rejection letters and I’m not worried about school or where I go, but what’s wrong with having me as a student?”
“Hmmm, well I know daddy wants you to go to that school” she points at the blank UA application on my desk “and you want to go to a dance academy...por que no los dos? You can go to dance academy for college and go to hero school BUT only to spite dad.”
“Rosa, you’re a genius!” I praised her “who says you have bad ideas?!”
“I know I’m right” Rosa gives a power stance “I’m the powerhouse of the cell!”
And I did just that, I applied and got an invite almost immediately to take the entrance exam in early November. That gave me almost 2 months to train, plenty of time! I tried to hide this from my dad but the word slipped and he was too happy to take me to the exam and help me train. Don’t even get me started on that whole side of the family, uncle Tensei started crying, grandma and grandpa wouldn’t shut up on how the family is going to be full of heroes. All the while, I was trying to break the news that I wasn’t going to be returning for the advanced level courses of dance. All the instructors were sad to the point of begging, everyone else was happy that I was leaving.
-Day of exam-
“You have everything you need?” Dad asked me for the 5th time since we got in the car “we still have time to-”
“YES DAD! FUCK!” he was stressing me out “I’m ready to take this test, stop worrying.”
He sighed “You remind me so much of your mother when we were at UA” he smiled at the thought “she’d snap at me too when I was being overbearing, but I did it because I loved her and wanted her to succeed.”
“Well, what’s one thing she couldn’t leave without?”
“She didn’t feel right unless she hugged me goodbye” he chuckled “even something so simple made my heart race.” He pulls up to the front of the massive front gate of UA “we’re here, do your best! I believe in you.”
“Thanks dad” I take a deep breath “I’ll call you later.”
I walk in the place and I don’t see anyone familiar, just a bunch of students from public schools and other privates. I took a written exam, then came the infamous physical portion. My dad and his hero friends were telling me that it’s one of the toughest entrance exams in the nation, but I wasn’t afraid, just oddly excited! I do my stretches, just minding my business, when I get some crude comments.
“Excuse me but the dance auditions are that way” said some boy condescendingly “why don’t you take your little pink shoes and get out of here before the big scary robots crush you?”
I squinted at them as the group of boys behind them laughed “Excuse me but aren’t the weak little bitches auditions that way?” I stood up to show that I tower him in height “I’m in the right place little man.”
“Lets get to the gates dude, she’s scary”
Everyone was summoned to the start gate and I had a feeling that somebody was watching me. Not like a camera watching me but like somebody near me was looking at me. I looked around but didn’t see anybody familiar or staring at me, it didn’t matter once the siren wailed to start the exam. I was kicking mecha ass with some fancy moves thrown in and when I thought I was going to end the exam on a good note, I hear somebody cry out for help. I rushed over and saw someone had their arm and leg trapped under a mecha, with the added panic of the 0 point big boy mecha dangerously close. I wasn’t going to leave them there, so I gave my all to lift the mecha off them. I couldn’t even lift the thing an inch off them! I had to get creative and used my 2nd quirk to lift the mecha off. I did it and pulled them out to make a run for the safety line.
“It’s no use, just leave me here” said the trapped person “I can’t walk.”
“I’m not giving up on you! I don’t care if I fail this exam” I unraveled my sports jacket, shirt and the ribbons in my hair to fasten them to me “hold on tight! We’re going airborne!”
“Wha-!”
I use the last of my energy to blast us into the air in a wide arch to barely avoid the mecha crushing us. Of course I didn’t have a back up plan and we crash landed in the safety zone, on top of other students.
“Owchies” I groaned “is everyone okay? Sorry about that! I didn’t have a landing plan.”
The nurse runs over “WAH! Miss Iida?! You caused this mess?!”
“Heh ummm yea” I shamefully admitted “sorry Miss Eri, I couldn’t let this student get crushed by the big boy mecha.”
“Lets get you two in the stretcher, come on” she sighed in disbelief “and I’ll be telling your parents young lady!”
“Aww wack!” I pouted as robot helpers put me in the stretcher. I looked over to see the other person in the stretcher next to me “are you alright?”
“I’ll be okay know” they smiled at me “thank you so much for not giving up on me.”
“No problem! I’m Lili by the way.”
Before they could tell me their name, they were hauled away for intensive care. It was fair, they did get injured far worse than me, I walked away with just some gnarly bruises and a scraped shoulder. I didn’t see them after and I really wanted to know their name because they looked oddly familiar. My parents were worried about my injuries as I tend to heal slower. It was winter vacation, usually I’d be excited to be in the holiday mood but I was just waiting in anxiety for my letter. Come the last day of December, I got my acceptance letter! The amount of relief I got from it all was amazing, according to the letter, I scored the most rescue points. Making me at the top of the scoreboard along with some others, so I’m in Hero class A, just like dad and mom. My dad fussed over me the most in the weeks leading to the first day of school.
-Morning of the first day-
“Wake up Wake up Wake up!” yipped the robo dog as they bust into my room “it’s the first day of classes Lili and Hanaka! Please get dressed and hurry down for breakfast.”
“Hnnn it’s 7 in the god foresaken morning!” I groaned as I rubbed my eyes “welp, come on Rosa or the boys are going to beat us to the sinks.”
“Hn! 5 more minutes” she tossed in her bed “Tensei is gonna teleport us to school, you have to ride with daddy.”
“Don’t remind me you brat!” I threw my pillow at her “whatever, just don’t melt the shampoo bottles.”
“Fuck you!”
I quickly take my shower and got dressed in my new uniform to greet my parents. They fawn over how much I look like them when they went to UA, mom told me the story of how she got confused for a boy on the 1st day because her ass was too big for the skirts that they had to be tailor made! I got a good laugh out of that and it made me feel better about starting my school day. I kiss them goodbye and got in the car with dad.
“Excited Lili?”
“Yea, I mostly want to see if that person I rescued made it in” I could hardly sit still in the passenger side “the rush I got from them thanking me had me feeling alive.”
“I hope they did! Sounds like you made a friend if they did.”
“I also wonder who’s the homeroom teacher!” I said as we slowed at the last stoplight before school “since it’s not Eraserhead anymore, I hope it’s one of your friends or some other notable alumni.”
“That’s a good question” Dad pondered “you have to let me and your mother know when you get home” he stops at the same place as last time “here’s your stop, have fun and make friends!”
“Okay dad” I took in a calming breath “I’ll see you later!”
To think my parents walked through the same doors, not knowing that they were going to end up like this? Now their daughter... I hope I’ll find my soulmate here too. I have a soft spot for the love my parents have for each other, you can just tell that they’ve been working on their love since before they actually started dating. I often catch them making out, give loving embraces after a hard day and care for each other in different ways. I want to be loved as hard as my dad loves my mom.
“Lili? Is that you?!” Maru’s voice broke my train of thought.
“Huh? Oh, Maru! Hi!”
“Hey! You made it in!” he gave me a tight hug and twirled “welcome to UA! If you want, I have time to walk you to class.”
“Oh sure” he puts me down “do you know where room 1-A is?”
“Sure do! It’s down over here” he leads me to the hero wing “wow A class huh? I thought the hero stuff wasn’t for you?”
“I thought so too” I shrugged “guess I just had to try and see for myself.”
“If you’re not busy at lunch, we can eat together too.”
“Don’t you have friends here Maru?” I snickered at him.
“You have to call me Midoriya-senpai around the others” he said trying to silence me “and I have to call you Iida-chan.”
“Eww fuck no” I gagged “sounds like you’re calling my dad chan! I’m going to call you Maru, and you have to call me Lili MAYBE Perla if I’m acting up.”
“Fine but I’m saying that I’m respected around here for being one the top students” he bragged as he put his hand on my head “and you’re just a little bitty baby still!”
“Ah! Get yo hand off my hair” I tickle his side to retract his hand “looks like this is my class, see ya later!”
“You don’t play fair Lili” he waved me off “have fun.”
I walk in and see a few people already there, I looked around for my seat and mine is number 4. I set my bag down and get approached by someone.
“Um hi, you probably don’t recognize me but I’m the person you rescued at the exam” shakily spoke the person “I didn’t get a chance to say, but my name is Hoshi Togata.”
I looked at them and something was oddly familiar about them, like I knew them before the exam “Oh you made it in! I was worried if you placed and if you recovered well.”
“You were worried about me?” they blushed “well, I recovered just fine. My arm was broken but Nurse Eri healed me before I was supposed to go home.”
The bell rang and we all sat in our seats, Hoshi sat behind me.
“Good Morning class! And welcome to UA, my name is-”
“BAHAHA NO WAY!” I bursted into laughter “Yo we got Diaper Boy as homeroom teacher?!”
“My name isn’t Diaper Boy!”
“Oh I’m sorry, Diaper Man!”
Our teacher rubbed his temples “Anyways, my name is Grape Juice but you can call me Mineta sensei.” He gave me a stern look “Miss Iida, I trust you’ll behave like your father.”
“Don’t compare me to that Turbo Rectangle!”
“It’s like listening to your mother in your father’s body” he muttered.
Once we went through a whole day of classes, Hoshi and I walk around.
“You know Togata, you look oddly familiar and it’s bothering me a bit.”
“How?” they sweat a bit “I’m just one of the boys!”
“Hmmm, I feel like we met before the exam” I rubbed my chin “but I can’t quite remember, we were probably children when it happened.”
“Well, actually” he put some thought into it “I was thinking the same thing sort of, would it help if I told you my dad is Lemillion?”
“Oh shit! It’s coming back to me!” I was wide eyed as we head to the parking lot “yea! They have 2 boys and a girl my age. OH THAT’S WHO! I was thinking about your sister, how is she by the way?”
“Oh ummm I don’t have a sister” the smile on his face disappeared as he said that.
“Huh? Maybe I was-” I hear a car honk, it was mom “oop, gotta go! See you tomorrow!”
I hop in the car and waved bye. I told my family of my school day and my mom couldn’t stop laughing at the fact that their school-mate Mineta was the homeroom teacher. But as I was getting ready for bed, one thing was bothering me... where did I see Hoshi before?

Catch up here! 1 * 2 * 3
Chapter 6: Is There Anything Better Than Pussy?
It’s one month away from starting at UA and it’s not the Iida’s first rodeo with the hero school prep! Even Lili and Iwata lent a hand in the training frenzy.
“Damn, mom really said that?” asked Iwata as he was doing weightlifting with Tensei in their home gym.
“Yup, dad was upset that mom was encouraging body modifications” Tensei rolled their eyes as they did their arm reps “It’s a septum piercing! He’s making it sound like I’m getting a face tattoo or a boob job!”
“Would you get a face tat?”
“Nah, I still wanna be a lawyer lowkey” Tensei pondered a bit “maybe I’ll get an inner lower lip tattoo of the anarchy symbol.”
“That’s gonna go hard” laughed Iwata
-At the same time, in the girl’s room-
“You asked for bangs?” judged Lili “with your hair texture?”
“Hmph! I stand by my decision!” Hanaka crossed her arms “If Tensei can have his extreme makeover, why can’t I have this one?!”
“You have curly hair Hanaka! You have to straighten that shit for it to look like bangs and not like poodle hair!”
Hanaka opened her mouth to retort but then thought about what her older sister said “You know what...I don’t even think I’ve ever used a straightener before.”
Lili gets a twinkle in her eye “Wanna try? I still have my hot styling tools from my dance studio days.”
The girls have their bonding time, setting aside the books their dad gave them to study.
“So like, I know you JUST got engaged a week ago, but is there a wedding date yet?” curiously asked Hanaka.
Lili raised an eyebrow as she passed a hot comb through Hanaka’s hair “Why do you want to know?”
Hanaka got a little timid “Because I’ve never been to a wedding and I’m very excited to go to one and have a slice of that big ass cake.”
“Oh shit that’s right!” gasped Lili “I’m the first one to get married! I forget that the last couple to get marry was our parents!”
“That’s what makes me so excited!” Hanaka wiggled in excitement “I keep watching our parent’s wedding video and get ideas to how I want my wedding to go.”
Lili does another pass with the hot comb “I do like that obi that mom wore on her wedding day, wonder if she’ll let me wear it at my wedding.”
“I want to get married in the same chapel and have a romantic gothic theme” sighed Hanaka “Step 1: find somebody that tolerates me enough to date me.”
“Shut up dramatica” Lili scolded as they check the ends of Hanaka’s hair “You’ll find someone that’s gonna be head over heels in love with you. Trust me hermanita, you’ve been blessed with mom’s pretty genes.”
“I’m pretty?” blushed Hanaka.
“Yes! You have the trifecta of mom’s latina beauty traits” Lili explained “You have the wide hips with the smaller waist, perky C cups and the full lips.”
Hanaka poked her lips “I do? Are these really the beauty traits?”
“YES! I got the lips and nothing else!” Lili points to her chest “WHERE ARE MY BOOBS AND NICE ASS HANAKA?! I look like dad but prettier!”
Hanaka compares body frames “I guess? If only we got the big butt trait.”
“Stupid Iwee and his perfect genetics!” grumbled Lili “If I had a big butt, I would flaunt all the form-fitting pants.” She grabbed the hand mirror “Mira, like the result?”
Hanaka looked into the mirror to check out her sister’s work with the hot comb “Ooh! It does work!”
“All right, you can have this hot comb then” Lili said as she disconnected the styling tool “I don’t really have a use for it now that I’m going into my new job.”
“Oh you agreed to the job with your mentor?”
“Yup, I gotta make some money to pay for rent...and my expensive taste”
Hanaka thought about that last bit “Ah fuck, you’re right! What am I gonna do without daddy’s credit card when I move out of the house!”
Lili cackled “Then I hope you marry rich! Because I know you don’t want to live in this house forever.”
The girls heard their mother’s car pull into the garage, making them stop to listen in better.
“I thought mom went to work?” Lili checked the time on her phone “It’s way too early for her to back and she’d call if something were to go down.”
Hanaka pressed her ear up to the door of their room “Nothing weird going on sound wise.”
“Niños! Look who’s here!” announced their mother, loud enough for everyone in the house to hear.
All four of the children cautiously came out to the living room. The sight of a familiar bronzed skin man made them gasp in delight.
“ABUELITO!” cheered the siblings as they ran toward the couch he was sitting on.
“Hola grand-bebés” their grandfather responded with open arms, inviting them to pile onto him for a group hug “You’ve gotten so big! And very muscular!”
“Wait, mom why is grandpa here?” Iwa turned his head toward his mother.
“First of all, both of your grandparents are here. Grandma is sleeping in the guest room” their mother started to explain “Secondly, your grandpa is here mostly for Tensei.”
“Huh? Me?” Tensei asked confused.
“Yes you” their grandpa smiled “Somebody told me you needed a metal bending master to help you train. And that’s me!”
“Who said that?” asked Tensei even more confused.
“I DID!” Hanaka yelped proudly “You really needed a master to guide you. It’s not fair that you’re the only one that doesn’t have somebody to help you understand how to use your quirk. And who else to ask than grandpa!”
Tensei was taken back by the gesture “All this for me?”
“Your sister pulled all the strings since the acceptance letter” their mother smiled “all I did was airport pick up.”
“Come on Oro” their grandpa stood up and did some stretches “lets get started!”
“But aren’t you-”
“Don’t doubt his ability Tensei” their mother covered his mouth “I got my endurance and stamina from him, one cup of coffee and he’s ready to move mountains!” she lowered her hand “Go on, you have a week with him and he’s been dying to show you everything he knows.”
Tensei followed his grandfather outside, where he struggled to keep up to do an impromptu half marathon.
“Okay, now that you’re all warmed up-”
“THAT WAS A WARM UP?!” panted Tensei
“No complaints! When I was your age, I ran up and down at the beach for fun” chuckled their grandpa “And when your mama was your age...well, she left home to come here.”
“Oh, right...the incident” Tensei saw the sadness in the old man’s face “Are you upset that her children are the very things that failed to protect her?”
“Not at all! I’m very proud of all of you” he responded “Your mama is doing what I wished I could’ve done. Protect you and letting you become strong to protect each other.” Their grandfather sat in the grass in the front yard “I’ll admit, I coddled my children too much but especially your mother. I was so scared that the world was going to be too hard on her because of how sensitive she was. Always getting shoved around by others and being too scared to fight back, imagine being in my position to learn that she was in the hospital for fighting back? And my shock when she said she was going away to protect her family. I wanted to go with her.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“I thought about it, but I decided that she was going somewhere where she’ll be way safer and get stronger. So it was okay to let her go” he laid on his back “Everyone back home doesn’t know that she’s alive or that she’s built a family! It’s been so long that if she were to come back, heh! Everyone would start screaming and thanking God or something.”
Tensei tried to imagine a maternal extended family but all he could come up with was his aunty Mimi and uncle Jin.
“They’d love you and your siblings” said the old man “All of you have the qualities of our family. Your mama was the favorite because of how adorable and smart she is.” He sat up slowly “But enough about all that! Let’s get started with the training!”
They spent the next few days at the hip with the training. Tensei learned very quickly and intensely every technique thrown at him.
-Many days later, dinner time-
Ita sat down at the dinner table “Boys, no quirks at the table.”
“Hold on mami, I’m teaching Oro the spoon trick” spoke up the old man as they floated a spoon in front of their face.
“Ma, can you-” Ita asked their mother for some assistance.
“On it” without hesitation, the grandmother activated their erasure “ES HORA TE COMER! NO POWERS!”
The clank of spoons dropping on the table startled the others at the table. The two metal users obediently looked down at their plates and started eating. Hoshi broke the silence.
“This curry is really good!” they complimented nervously.
“Babe it’s called molé” gently correctly Lili “And if you really like it, I’ll be making it often.”
“Oh, uhhh it really good!” Hoshi blushed.
“What a treat! You’ll be eating really well when you live together” their father spoke up “Marry a latina and you’ll never have a boring day or meal in your life, isn’t that right compa?”
The grandfather raised their glass “Amen to that!”
The wives exchanged tired looks and continued to eat as their husbands were introducing Hoshi to ‘good husband’ mannerisms. After dinner, Tensei and their grandfather sat in the living room.
“Okay Oro, here’s the forbidden technique” their grandfather said in a low voice “You must not do this one in front of your mother, or she’ll banish me!”
“Woah what is it?!” Tensei was intrigued “I promise to not do it in front of my mom.”
“Pay attention closely” the old man pulled a metal spoon from his pocket and bit the scoop part clean off. He then starts to chew the piece of metal like a piece of gum for a few seconds before spitting out a perfectly formed screw. “Tada!”
Tensei was dumbfounded “Wha- That’s SO COOL!”
“RIGHT!? My dad taught me this when I was a little boy” the old man puffed out his chest proudly “I helped him around the farm by making the screws and bolts. But I can do more than just hardware with this technique.”
“Why does my mom not like this? It’s so useful!”
The old man chuckled “She hates the chewing noise of teeth on metal. It makes her skin crawl and teeth hurt. But it doesn’t hurt, just do the rubbing technique but in your jaw.”
Tensei was eager to try it out and see what they can make. His zest to try out everything his grandfather taught him after his visit was very refreshing to see in the house. His twin felt proud of herself for doing this one good deed.
-Fast Forward, 1st day of school-
“Wow, mira que lindo!” their mother gasped as she saw the twins in their uniforms for the first time “Where did the time go? It feels like a week ago I brought you home from the hospital!”
“Please love, don’t remind me” their father tearfully set down the carafe of coffee.
“Ew dad don’t cry, that’s cringe!” said the twins in unison as they sat down for their cafecito.
“Oh that reminds me! Aunty Midnight said that there’s going to be new teachers” their mother remembered “I hope you get to interact with the new teachers. Poor Mineta, having to deal with all my children.”
“Yes it’s quite the misfortune” sighed their father “He’s not equipped enough to deal with their strong personalities.”
“You kids behave for your sensei alright!” sternly said their mother “I don’t want a single complaint on the first day. Behave like you have some manners” she brought her coffee cup up to her face “You can act the fool after the first round of trainings.”
Their father sighed with a plate of toast in his hands “I rather you always be on your best behavior, but I have to agree with your mother. After sending your older sister and brother, I don’t know what to expect anymore.”
“Should’ve expected this the day you met me” smirked his wife “Can you believe this foo wanted to marry me when we were in high school?! Should’ve minded your business if you didn’t want rowdy kids.”
The twins exchanged looks while taking loud sips of coffee, trying to drown out their parents daily micro-flirtations. Thankfully they didn’t have to endure more flirting and got a move on to school, dropped off by Uncle Jin.
Hanaka looked at her twin, both of them standing in front of the stairs to the main entrance.
“Tensei hold my hand”
“We’re not little kids Hanaka, you can-”
Hanaka grabbed his hand and dragged him toward the stairs “That’s not the point Tensei” she stomped her way up the stairs “I want to go through these once in a lifetime milestones with you. Whether you like them or not!” she didn’t falter her cadence until she was at the top of the stairs “So stop acting like you’re too cool to be here with me!”
Tensei literally looked like he was dragged up the stairs, scuffed and looking like a limp noodle. His hand in a hot handed vice by his twin.
“FINE! Let me dust myself off first” He pleaded.
Hanaka was so content with herself as she got her wish, hand in hand with her twin as they walked to class. Her happiness was short lived as they saw who their homeroom teacher was.
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” yelled the twins as they pointed to their sensei “NOT DIAPER BOY!”
Mineta closed their eyes and inhaled deeply “Lord, why do you hate me?”
“Nah I’m calling aunty Midnight” Tensei said as they pulled out their phone “Ain’t no way the school did this on purpose!”
“For once, please call to complain” Mineta tiredly pleaded “I can’t handle more than one Iida child at a time.”
Now comes the part where they go through the worst part of growing up.... high school. What kind of bullshit will they go through this time?

BNHA self insert AU [Book 4]
Catch up here! 1 * 2 * 3
Chapter 5: Aw Shit, Here We Go Again
Tensei was out of breath as his training time with his mom was coming to an end. The entrance exam was just 2 weeks away! Balancing out his training with middle school third year activities was kicking his ass. Moments like this makes him envious of his twin, she doesn’t do much accept talk with her friends at school.
“Mom, can I ask you a question?” Tensei asked after taking a long sip of water.
“Hm? What is it mijo?” His mother turned to face Tensei.
Tensei sighed “You said that my quirks are rare in boys, then what’s going to happen if I lose control?” He made direct eye contact with her “What if I do the test and I cause harm?! What then?”
“Ah I thought you might ask me that” she gave a understanding smile “And I’ll be very honest with you, I know for a fact that you won’t lost control.”
“Huh?” Tensei blurted confused, expecting his mother to have some inter-woven and fool-proof plan to when and if he loses control.
She motions him to sit across from her in the padded room “You respond just like me, passionately. My telekinesis and your teleportation respond at the same speed and sometimes before we realize there’s immediate danger.” She tosses a metal water bottle with her quirk at Tensei and he catches it with a glance, freezing it mid air with his metal manipulation quirk “See?”
“So, I can’t lose control?” asked Tensei, floating the bottle onto his lap “That’s a lot of faith in my powers that I’m not that skilled at dual welding.”
“I’m saying that you’re rational and there will be moments where you feel like you’re losing control, but they’re moments of passion” she smirked “remember what you did at the mock trials?”
Tensei flashed back to that day “Oh! I get it! Acts of passion” he looked at his hands “Do you really think that’s going to get me by?”
“It worked for me this far” his mother giggled “You have nothing to worry about mijo! Plus whatever you do at UA will be a walk in the park, you have the book smarts and strength to crush the competition. Being part of this chaotic family is more exhausting than hero school, ask your dad.”
A swirling portal appeared next to them, Jin popped his head out “All good? Ready to head back?”
“Yes! We’re ready” she gets up and gathers her items.
Tensei follows closely behind, trying to believe his mother’s faith in him. Of course there isn’t much time to really self-doubt.
-Fast forward, the night before the exam-
Tensei was comfortably in bed for a good night’s sleep when his bedroom door flung open.
“Teeeeenseeeeeeei” groaned Hanaka as she jumped onto her twin “I’m so excited and nervous and a little gassy for tomorrow!”
“Please don’t be gassy in my room” Tensei pushed his twin off him “GO TO BED!”
“But I can’t sleep” she jumped back onto the bed “Can I sleep here?”
“No”
“Why not!”
“Because you give off so much body heat and your hair always gets in my face” listed Tensei firmly “Plus you always want to wake me up in the middle of the night to ask me your little existential crisis questions that also keeps me up at night! And I’m not down to stay up all night tonight, we need all the rest we can get.”
Hanaka pouted “I promise to keep my crisis questions and hair to myself” she pleaded “I’ll even bring my heat protect blankie! I just don’t want to be alone.”
Tensei looked at his twin to find that she was being sincere. It’s not often that she shows fear and loneliness.
“Fine, you can sleep here” Tensei caved and plopped back into his sleeping position “close the door and turn off the light when you come back.”
Hanaka ran at top speed to get her blanket and ready for this impromptu sleep over.
“Good night Tensei”
“Good night Hanaka”
“...I love you”
Tensei opened his eyes in surprise, Hanaka doesn’t really say ‘I love you’. He doesn’t either, things really are changing.
“...I love you too.”
-The next day-
“Are you sure you have-”
“WE HAVE EVERYTHING! FUCK!” screamed the twins at their dad as they pulled up in front of UA.
“I’m just so excited for you two!” their dad said, tears welling up in his eyes “It feels like yesterday you two were learning to crawl, and now you’re going to take the UA entrance exam.”
“Don’t cry daddy” cringed Hanaka “We don’t even know if we’ll do well.”
“I know you two will prevail” their dad unlocked the car doors “Okay off you go! Good luck!”
The twins waved off their dad and walked to the exam hall. They met up with all their friends and even warmed up together.
“THE EXAM WILL START IN 2 MINUTES! START LINING UP AT THE GATE”
“You’re not nervous?” Hanaka asked her twin as they walked up to the gate.
“A little, you?”
Hanaka made a weird face “I feel like I’m gonna throw up” she looked at her twin in the eye “Will you hold my hand? Until we pass the gates?”
“Hanaka we’re not little kids anymore, I can’t just-” Tensei stopped and saw how scared she was, trembling a bit and fidgeting. “I guess just this once we can.”
She gripped his hand until the gates flung open. The twins were crushing the test, no doubt proving that they had nothing to worry about. It was nearing the end of the test when Tensei had a bad feeling in his stomach. For whatever reason, he didn’t go to the safe zone and pressed on to where the zero point robo was. And sure enough, his twin and her friends where trying to take on the thing.
“What are you doing?!” yelled Tensei “get to the safe zone!”
“Nya! We’re going take on the big boy!” cried out Kyanka.
“Outta the way Tensei” said Petty “No rule that says we have to go to the safe zone.”
Before he could say anything, the four girls charged toward the ten story high robo. Immediately things weren’t going in their favor, Tensei had to do something or have faith that this robo isn’t going to crush the girls. Before he could think of a plan, Tensei lifted the nearest manhole cover with his quirk so he could get in clear view of the girls to teleport them out of danger. He shot himself up with the lift of the manhole to teleport them out one by one. Lastly he pulled his twin in the nick of time to teleport together to the safe zone. They popped in just in time as the siren wailed to mark the end of the exam.
“WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!” screamed Tensei at his twin “You’re not strong enough to do something so reckless like that! What would’ve happened if I didn’t care enough to save your stupid ass HUH?!”
Hanaka held her arms and looked down “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry doesn’t cut it Hanaka” Tensei looked at how roughed up she looked and picked her up in his arms “I’m taking your ass to the nurse tent because I know your dumbass hurt yourself.”
After getting treated by the nurse, Hanaka did her walk of shame toward her twin that was waiting by the curb with their bags. She sat next to him, avoiding eye contact.
“...Are you mad at me?” she asked, breaking the silence.
“What do you think?” responded Tensei coldly, avoiding eye contact.
The trip home was silent. Hanaka has never made Tensei this mad and didn’t know what to do. Or that anything she could say would make him less mad. Hanaka swallowed her pride and turned to her parents.
“Mama, papa” she walked up to the living room “Can I ask you something?”
“Que paso mija?” her mother asked carefully, already knowing what might be bothering Hanaka.
Hanaka sat in the armchair next to her parents “It’s Tensei, he’s mad at me but I don’t know why!” she flailed her arms “It’s not like I was in any real danger and I wasn’t that hurt. And I didn’t ask him to come save me either! So why is he this mad?!”
“Hmm that sounds awfully familiar” her father flashed a look at his wife “How a certain someone was too independent to realize that a certain someone cares for them and scolds them out of love.”
Her mother narrowed her eyes in response and crossed their arms “Ya know, this isn’t about us, it’s about the kids.” She sighed in defeat “But what your dad is trying to say is that I would do the same thing that you did. And at the end, whether or not I came back in one piece or banged up, your dad would scold me harshly and got all controlling over my injuries. I was too blind to see that he was doing that because he cared about me, it hurts him to see me risk my life and walk off my injuries.”
“Woah, then how did you make up?” Hanaka was intrigued by the parallel.
“I took time to cool off before owning up to my actions” her mother replied and looked at her husband “Believe it or not, our arguments were pretty nasty and I hated to apologize the Japanese way. I simply waited for a moment alone with them to say I’m sorry for making them worry about me and being such a hot head for refusing his help.”
“And I would apologize for my over-bearing behavior” her father responded “I learned that I should give her space and time to be civil. Or she’d give me the silent treatment! I was learning how to love her better and Tensei was trying to be a good brother.” He smiled at Hanaka “Think about all the other times he showed you care. I know you care about him too, imagine if you were in his position at that moment? You’d do anything to make sure he was safe wouldn’t you?”
Hanaka thought about it for a second “I guess I was being pretty reckless. But he said that sorry doesn’t cut it, what can I say now?”
“Tell him how you feel, how grateful you are for his rescue” her mother suggested “Appeal to him. Doesn’t hurt to give a peace offering.”
“Okay, I think I know what to do” Hanaka stood up carefully, as she was still sore from her injuries “thanks!”
Hanaka walked over to Tensei’s door, offering in hand, and knocked.
“No”
“PINCHE TENSEI YOU DIDN’T HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!”
“Don’t need too, go away!”
Hanaka calmed down and took a breath “Look, I’m sorry Tensei, okay! I’m grateful you swooped in when you did and maybe I am a dumbass but I didn’t know you’d get mad at me.”
There was silence for a bit but then the click of the door unlocking broke the silence. Hanaka walked in to see her twin laying face down on the bed.
Tensei lifted his head “I’m not mad, I got very worried and nauseous.”
“Nauseous? Why?”
Tensei sat up slowly “I think I over-exerted myself when I teleported you and your friends. I’ve never teleported that fast and I felt my mind spinning and my stomach getting whiplash. Mom said it’s common but I feel like garbage!” He gagged “Ugh gross, if I get accepted in this fuckin place, I’m doing more teleporting training!”
“Damn, maybe my offering of strawberries and mandarins wasn’t the best to-”
“GIMMIE!” demanded Tensei when he caught sight of the bowl of fruit his twin pulled from behind her.
Hanaka surrendered the bowl and watched as Tensei greedily ate the fruit. As he usually does, he loves fresh fruits and would finish a party tray of cut fruit if you let him. Hanaka sat at the foot of the bed, waiting for her twin to finish eating her peace offering.
“Gee slow down” she said in slight disgust “Just three hours ago you were kicking metal ass- WHICH REMINDS ME!” Hanaka perked up “I saw what you did with the robo shell! That was so cool!”
Tensei stopped stuffing his face “Oh you saw me gut out that robo and use it as armor! Yea I watched The Legend of Korra to on my personal metal-bending training.” He struck a pose “I’m no Toph but most of my techniques are from watching her. You’re so lucky that our parents are basically masters of your quirks and you can ask them for training.”
“I thought mom knew how to use your quirk?” Hanaka asked curiously, unaware that Tensei was self-training.
“Mom said that she hasn’t mastered it, since it was her dad’s quirk” Tensei explained “She didn’t have a reason to master her dad’s quirk back then. Mom looked so sad when she told me that, so I didn’t ask again and just figured things out on my own. Kinda wish I did have master so I know what to focus on.”
That gave Hanaka an idea, but she couldn’t act on it until they got their acceptance letters.
-Fast Forward, November-
“I’m back with the mail” announced their father as they came back from their weekly endurance run “is that braised beef I smell?! My love! You’re spoiling me!”
Before he could reach the kitchen, the twins ganged up and tackled their father.
“Gimme mail! Gimme mail! Gimme mail!” chanted the twins as they tried to pry the mail out from under his arm.
The twins didn’t get a chance to get a single letter loose before the pile got levitated.
“Que en la chingao estan gritando?!” yelled their mother, still in her apron with a wooden spoon in hand “I know you kids are at your wits end with this acceptance letter shit. But act like you’re going to high school in a few months!”
The twins sighed as they floated in a mess of letters and parcels “Yes mama.”
“That’s much better” she said as she gently lowered the three and gathered the mail into her hands. She briefly shifted through the pile “Ah, aqui esta una”
“Just one?” asked Tensei as he watched his twin grab the letter.
His mother looked over the pile again “I’m afraid so. BUT! There’s no name on it!” she tried to comfort “Open it and see who it’s for yea?”
“Your mother’s right” their father spoke “My letter didn’t have my name on it either, same with your uncle Tensei.”
“Ugh that’s so dumb” groaned Tensei.
Hanaka opened the letter “Huh? What’s this?”
“OH! That’s a tele-noucement!” geeked out their mother “I made every robo-animal compatible to broadcast or play them a few years back. I’m surprised UA is using them now, thought they were still very traditionalist about these things.”
Everyone gathered to the family robo dog that was pretend napping on the couch.
“Um...how do I-”
“Oh right! Ahem, Muffin wake up please” commanded their mother.
“What may I be of service to you mom?” said the robo as they sat up to attention.
“Switch to tele-noucement projection mode.”
“As you wish, now docking for tele-noucement” chirped the robo as they took the cassette looking device from Hanaka’s hands.
A hologram was projected from the robo’s eyes and started to play in the middle of the living room. The figure solidified into the image of the number one hero, Deku.
“Ew they got twinks doin’ this shit now?” criticized their mother “Whatever makes them look good I guess. It’s not like the most successful woman in Japan went to that school.”
Before anyone could react, the audio started playing.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO TENSEI AND HANAKA IIDA! Both of you passed the exam and were the school’s first choice.” Spoke hologram Deku “This is a special case, due to your abilities and advancements in academics, both of you are in Hero class A and tested out of a majority of intro level classes. But that’s to be expected from the children of two of the strongest and smartest people I know.”
“That’s so nice of him to say” their father was flattered.
“Why don’t you text him that then?” teased their wife.
The twins were in shock that both of them got in to care if they were first choice or not.
“So let me formally welcome you, Youngest of the the Iida clan, To UA High! We know you’ll make the school proud just like the ones that came before you. So go beyond PLUS ULTRA! And we’ll see you on the first day of classes.”
The hologram ends and the twins look at each other. Then they break out in their big, dumb smiles.
“We made it in!” Hanaka screamed “I was worried that you weren’t coming with me!”
“What do you mean?! You’re the one that tried to take on that zero point robo!” Tensei squinted at their twin “I got hella rescue points if my combat wasn’t enough for them! I would’ve gotten in for sure.”
“No fighting you two!” their father did an arm chop to block between the twins “That’s in the past, now comes the real work. You can’t be slacking off to keep your spot as first choices!”
“It’s true! I was a first choice in my program and I tested out of most entry level stuff too” their mother sighed lovingly “To think it was you two that got that from me! Oh the fun you’ll have! I would do extra training during my free periods, sometimes I go and pester your dad by trying to give him a wedgie from far away so he can’t see me.”
Their husband gasped “That was you?! Do you know how many brands of underwear I had to test out because I thought my running was causing them to ride up?!” They pull their waistband of their training capris down “To this day I wear modified sumo jock-strap because of your little pesterings!”
“Ew what the hell dad!” the twins covered each other’s eyes.
Their mother was laughing hysterically “OH MY GOODNESS TENYA! That’s so on brand of you in high school!”
“It’s not funny!” scolded their father with an arm chop “You’ve seen me naked, YOU DO MY LAUNDRY! When were you going to tell me this?”
“Pfft, never” she booped his nose “You fell in love, married me and started a whole ass family. Face it Tenya, you can’t get mad at me for something so silly because you’re stuck with me FOREVER!”
The three watched as she cackled her way back to the kitchen to finish cooking. Like she was so satisfied with her little prank.
Their father sighed “She’s right, I did do all that and I already forgive her” he turned to his children “Anyways, congratulations again. I telling everyone in our family the good news.”
Hanaka snuck into the kitchen while their dad was handing the phone to Tensei with their grandparents on the other line to express their congratulations.
“Mama?”
“Hm? Yes mija?” her mother turned around as they took a casserole out of the oven.
“Can you help me arrange something for Tensei?” asked Hanaka politely, almost out of character for her “It’s something he REALLY needs for school!”
Her mother chuckled as she set the hot dish on the stove “Of course, what does your brother really need?”
