You're back

a/n: hope you guys enjoy. reblogs appreciated.

You’re breaking his heart with one sentence and sad eyes.

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Can you just look at me.” Izuku said desperate trying to catch your eyes.

You avoided his eyes looking down with teary eyes and wobbly lips.

“I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry.” He said watching as you turned into yourself trying to be as small as possible.

“I never-never-God I didn’t mean it I was mad.” His stomach turning and eyes watering at his mistake. Taking a stressful day out on you.

You nodded your head just wanting to leave. Unable to, your green haired boyfriend earlier picking you up and driving you to his house.

“I understand…I’m going home.” You whispered.

“Okay I’ll drive you.” Izuku said. Going to grab his keys. Driving you home he could get you food and have you in a close space.

Begging you for a kiss and forgiveness and you would roll your eyes before kissing him back. He could fix things, he could make you remember how much he loved you.

“ Im walking.” You said weakly watching the sunset from his window reaching for your bag on the floor.

Izuku felt his heart drop.

You wouldn’t even be in the same car as him?

“I’m sorry, i’m sorry. I-I…I get that you’re upset but it’s getting dark please let me take you home.”

You shook your head, meaning what you said.

Walking out the door he deflated. Izuku knew following you home would anger you more.

You walked home as he checked your location breathing a sigh of relief at you making it home.

He cried like a baby wondering how he had screwed up so badly. What if you never wanted to speak to him again? He wouldn’t blame you but it would destroy him.

The look on your face as he begged you to talk to him crushed his spirit.

You needed time. You loved Izuku more than anything but you needed space from him. Time to heal from what he had said to you.

While Izuku was breaking apart with each passing second. You were trying to piece yourself back together.

It had been about a week of your break. Izuku wasn’t sleeping or eating and not going to the gym. Barely making through the numerous patrols and meetings.

You left Sunday night and didn’t come back to the apartment til Friday night. He had taken all overnight shifts, not being able to stay in the apartment without you there. The smell of you on the comforter made him nauseous. Only thinking if you never came back that would be the last thing left for him.

Entering your shared apartment you pulled off your shoes, and let down your hair. Noticing the apartment looked exactly the same.

The bowl you ate a snack in before the fight still in the sink, the couch still covered in a laundry session. The apartment was completely dark and untouched.

Sleeping in an empty bed you fell asleep fast happy to be out of a hotel room. Not hearing your exhausted boyfriend come in at 5am from a long shift. Finally coming back to the apartment after so long away. Izuku couldn’t spend another night on his office couch. He needed to smell your pillow and cry. He took off his shoes and paused at the differences in the apartment from when he had left it.

Your keys in the bowl by the door, the lamp in the living room on, your bag and jacket placed in the living room and the A/C running.

You came back.

You were home.

He rushed down the hallway to see your figure buried under blankets on your side softly sleeping.

Izuku broke down in tears. Unzipping his hero suit to be only in his boxers.

He climbed into bed tugging you into him. Tears wetting his face and the top of your head. You let out a small groan still deep in REM cycle but cuddled into your boyfriend and his strong chest.

“You came back to me.” He whispered almost crushing you in his grasp not wanting to let go.

You woke up a couple hours later around 10am to your ribs unable to expand to their fullest making it hard to take a full breath. Squinting your sensitive eyes you recognized wild green tuffs of hair buried in your neck and his buff heavy body laying on top of you.

Bringing a hand up you begin to rub his scalp.

He groaned before tightening his hold on you.

“You’re back.” He whispered

Nodding your head you tried to move from his hold.

“Im hungry,” You grumbled trying to loosen his grip and slip from underneath him.

“Okay.” He said pulling his head from your neck. Sitting up on his knees and picking you up from your arms.

“Oh- my.” You gasped at him lifting you easily and carrying you to the kitchen. His big body able to hold you at the waist and stride into the kitchen.

“I can walk.” You said holding onto his neck trying to rub the sleep out of your eyes

“I know you can. I don’t want to be away from you.” Izuku said in his gravely deep morning voice sitting on the kitchen chair. Sitting on his lap facing him in the chair. You leaned forward your forehead on his shoulder.

“Can I get up or are you going to hold me down.” You asked after a couple beats of silence as he rubbed your back.

He nodded but the second you got up you had a shadow following you. Izuku following you like a lost puppy.

Standing at the stove you felt him leaning into your back.

“What do you want for breakfast?” You asked looking up at him.

“Im not hungry.” He said with hand holding the back of your shirt with his thick fingers. Like a child gripping the back of your shirt. As though he was afraid you were going to disappear.

But he was lying.

Your boyfriend could eat 3x the average man with his regime and routine as a pro hero. What you didn't know that in your absence your man had lost his appetite for food and hadn't been eating.

You hummed at his answer still pulling out food from the fridge.

“Do you need help?” He asked shyly as though he was afraid to upset you as you started.

“No Im okay.” You said stirring in the pan

He hovered by you the entire time you cooked. When you finished cooking the obscene amount of food for both of you, you began to plate the breakfast.

Izuku let go of your shirt to grab your favorite mug and fill up your drink.

You sat down and nudged his plate to him even if he said he wasn’t hungry.

He hesitated at the pile of food you had just made for him.

Not that he wasn’t hungry. He was starving.

Not that he didn’t want to eat your cooking. Trying to figure out how to apologize for what he had done.

He missed you so badly his chest physically ached with every breath. Now you were back in his arms with the same warm smile you only had for him and back in your shared apartment. Trying to fix what he had broken because you loved him that much.

“You made me breakfast.” He said in a small voice

“Yea.” You said taking a sip of your steaming drink

“You made me breakfast…thank you” He said placing his head in your neck. You gently rubbed his nape as he held onto you hand coming back for your shirt.

“I’m sorry for hurting you. I missed you…so much” Izuku mumbled gripping your shirt pulling you closer to him dragging your chair closer to his.

“I know, I know. I needed time. But I still love you okay? Im not going anywhere.” You reassured him knowing he was hurt.

He nodded into your chest.

“Come here.” He said pulling you into him now sitting on his lap again. You both sat there in silence staring into each other’s faces. Rubbing your thumb against his cheek just how he liked.

Initiating the kiss he had been desperate for all week.

Slipping a bit of tongue into your lover’s mouth, he sighed in relief. You still loved him, still kissed him like you always did.

“Eat, its going cold.” You said and he nodded as you wiped his face for him.

You sat in his lap drinking your warm drink as he ate the mountain of food you had prepared for him. Taking what you didn’t finish from your own plate.

Sitting in his lap enjoying your drink when you felt your shoulder become wet.

Your boyfriend was sniffling with wobbly lips and running eyes.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying baby?” You said gently wiping his face as he cried.

“I’m sorry. I hurt you and you still came back and now i’m eating your breakfast. I don’t deserve you. I didn’t think you would come back.”

“You made a mistake, and I know you are sorry. Stop apologizing. I just needed time okay? I still love you so much.” You said gently running your hands through his thick curly green hair.

He nodded and you stretched his cheeks to make him laugh.

“There’s that cute smile.”

“I missed you.” He said with wet freckled cheeks sniffling

You leaned up and gently bit his cute freckled cheek.

“Did you miss my bites?” You asked soothing his pink skin with a light peck.

He nodded, “I love your bite marks.”

“Good because you’re going to be covered in them by tomorrow.” Kissing his face as he happily took whatever affection you offered him. His large arms wrapped around your body never wanting to leave you.

I have seen people going around saying that Touya is hateful and irredeemable based on his rants at his family in Ch 390

Now even setting aside the fact that the main theme of Ch 390 is open, productive conflict being a key to understanding each other - how important it was to Shouto's growth, and how it was a part of Touya's spiral that the head-butting didn't happen sooner.

But I'd also like to point out that insta-change of heart in a battle, is not something Horikoshi does often (or even particularly well), at least not in the Todoroki plot.

Think of Kamino for example, where the whole country is emotional and rooting for All Might, while Endeavor is yelling like an oaf, goes home and trashes his gym.

It is only weeks later that he shows up at Remedial class and takes his first step towards atonement.

Or even Shouto himself - in the battle where Deku said "It's your power", he still acted cold towards him,

regressed almost immediately - so Deku didn't know if he actually managed to save Shouto

The pay-off came days later when Shouto showed up to the Stain fight wielding fire and his undying friendship and loyalty towards Deku behaving like they were already BFFs (when as far as we know, they didn't even talk after the SF - at least Izuku was pretty surprised with him showing up and having fire).

The point is - it's too early to say that nothing happened, Touya remained hateful, he's irredeemable, etc., etc. - when the narrative gave us hints that something is changing inside him, both in terms of Touya (his child self, his "origin" that he thought he left behind) coming to the surface and in how he sees Shouto and the rest of the family.

I think he needed to see them come together for him, he needed some kind of closure (Endeavor's apology), but it was too early for him to do a full U-turn right there and then. The Todorokis tend to take their time to think things through and process and I personally haven't yet given up on Touya also getting his "starting line" (no, we won't see a full redemption, but we may see some kind of open ending that will show us a path towards healing and reintegration).

What happens when you get burned

Izuku Midoriya x (gn)reader

I decided to write a little hurt comfort piece that came to me while I was in the shower. Am I working on this instead of my drafts? Maybe but shut up okay. I have to write this before it leaves me. Also I am writing this on my phone because my laptop is ancient and being a pain in the ass.

This takes place in an AU where UA is a university. Reader and Izuku have been together since reader’s third/final year and Izuku’s second year. They live together and reader is a pro hero working under Mirko and Izuku is in his third and final year. Mirko and reader have a strong mentor and student/slightly maternal relationship. Reader also has a quirk based off of a honey badger but it isn’t super described.

Warnings: hurt/comfort, vague descriptions of violence, mentions of blood and burns, Izuku is soft as all hell, non-sexual nudity on the reader’s part, reader’s parents aren’t around for whatever reason, there is a high chance of reader cursing (it’s me writing this come on), reader has issues accepting and asking for help, also reader has a white streak near the front of their hair because of their quirk. (It’s based on a honey badger, I’m not sure if I describe it much though)

It was a few weeks after your boyfriend, Izuku, had moved into your apartment and you two had fallen into a nice little routine. You and Izuku would leave the house around the same time each morning, him going to university and you in your hero gear on your way to work. He would get home after getting off from his work study about half and hour before you would. You would get home at 6:30 on the dot or you would text him if you were going to be late for whatever reason. It was 7:45 and you weren’t home yet, you weren’t even answering your phone.

To say Izuku was worried would be an understatement. He was pacing your living room as he tried to call your cell for the nth time. His teeth dug into his thumb nail in worry as he continued to pace your living room. He eventually goes to your shared bedroom, deciding he was going to grab his jacket and go out looking for you.

It was then that your key could be heard jingling softly outside the door as you struggle to unlock it. The door swings open as you call out into the apartment with labored breath, “Honey? I’m home.”

You limp into the apartment, favoring your right leg while holding your right side with your left hand. You looked like you had been through hell, you’re hero suit is torn up, you are covered in scattered bruises and cuts, blood is splattered across your entire being and you are covered in dirt and dried sweat. Izuku comes rushing from the bedroom, dropping his jacket as soon as he sees you.

“Oh my god! Baby, are you alright?” He asks as he quickly joins your side, wrapping your arm over his shoulders while pulling you gently to lean against him so that he can support you. He pulls you into a gentle yet tight hug, relieved that you are alive and home at last. He presses a gentle kiss to your cheek while caressing your other one gently as he looks at you with a mix or relief and concern in his stunning green eyes.

“I’m sorry I’m late. I got caught up in a big fight at work, civilians and heroes alike were all hurt pretty badly and my phone was dead so I couldn’t text you. I’m sorry, honey.” You say, breathing still heavy as you lean against him, finally taking all weight off of your injured leg.

He gives you a soft smile at your apology before saying, “What matters is that you’re home and safe, my love. How are you doing? Are you hurt anywhere too badly?” He asks as concern for you takes over. He gently caresses the back of your head as he questions you, softly resting his head on yours as you lean against him. You let out a noise that sounds similar to a mix of a cough and a laugh before you answer.

“I’m pretty banged up to be honest, the worst are the burns on my right side and right leg. I got patched up but all the healing heroes were exhausted and I kept telling them to prioritize other heroes and civilians since I was one of the less injured believe it or not. By time they got back to me the best they could do was bandage me up. Once I finally got home the elevator was broken so I had to make it up two flights of stairs on my own.” You chuckle out the last part humorlessly at your bad luck.

He winces at the mention of your burns, knowing they must be unbelievably painful, his expression grows more concerned at your mention of making it up the stairs by yourself in this state. “I’m so sorry, sweetie. Is there anything I can do to help? I’m not sure how much I can help with the pain but I’ll do whatever I can for you.”

“Can you help me to the couch?” You ask clearly exhausted as you lean into his comforting touch. At this request he practically carries you to the couch, being mindful of all of your injuries before setting you down into the plush cushions as gently as possible.

“Are you comfortable there? Do you need any water or medicine? Just say the word and I’ll take care of it for you.” He asks wanting to make you as comfortable as possible.

“That would be great, you know there the pain meds are right?” You ask breathing deeply to cope with the pain as your eyebrows knit together.

“With the med kit, under the bathroom sink.” He responds as he heads to the bathroom quickly to grab the pain meds. He returns with the meds and a glass of water moments later. Izuku helps you drink and hands you the meds for you to take.

He sits next to you on the couch and gently caresses your arm. “If you need anything else or want anything at all, let me know and I’ll take care of it.” He says soothingly to you, concern seeping into his tone.

“Thank you, Izu.” You sigh out as the meds take effect and ease the pain.

“Anytime, sweetheart. Just get some rest, okay?” He says as he gently pulls you into his lap, needing to hold you close after being so worried about you and the emotional roller coaster of you getting home. He tries to make you as comfortable as you can be as your quirk causes you to slip into unconsciousness for a bit to let you heal some of your soreness and more minor injuries. He watches you as you rest against him with a worried expression, he has never seen you this injured before in his entire time of knowing you. You’re thicker and tougher skin protecting you from a lot of worse injuries but this is something else. He can’t help but wonder just who or what could have possibly done this to you.

You wake up about an hour later, shifting slightly. Izuku notices you are finally awake and moves the white chunk of hair near the front out of your face and gently caresses your cheek as you wake up.

“Hey, did you get some rest? Are you feeling any better?” He asks with a deeply concerned tone as he gives you a soft smile to try and comfort you.

“I’m still in pain from some of my injuries but the overall soreness is gone. I was going to try and take a shower to get all of this grime off of me.” You say as you try to stand up before quickly wincing and falling back down into Izuku’s lap. Luckily for you he caught you quickly with a worried look on his face as he gently guided you back to him.

“How about I take you to the bathroom?” He asks wanting to help you as much as he can.

“I don’t want to bother you with it. I can make it, just give me a second.” You say dismissing his offer.

“It’s not a bother at all, my love. Anything you need I’ll take care of for you, I’ll help you in any way I can.” Your comfort is the most important thing in the world to him, he loves you and seeing you in pain is agonizing for him. If he could trade places with you right now he would but he knows he can’t. He helps you stand as you wrap one of your arms over his broad shoulders. He would carry you if it weren’t for where your burns were located, preventing him from doing so.

“I’m sorry to make you do this, Izuku.”

“Don’t worry about it, sweetheart.” He says cutting you off from further apology. “I just want to make sure you’re alright and helping you is making me feel better.” He reassures you, making it sound like you needing help is helping him. It actually is but you don’t know that, helping you makes him happy, that’s just who he is.

“Okay…”

Soon he’s setting you down on the bathroom counter while giving you a soft loving smile. You bend down to start untying your boots and flinch at the movement of your side. He’s gently easing you back up with a look of worry on his face.

“I’m sorry, love. It looks like you might have to do everything here.” You say as tears form in your eyes from pain and a deep feeling of uselessness sinks into your bones. You can’t even take your damn boots off, what kind of hero are you? Izuku gently wipes the tears from your eyes with his thumb as he sends you a reassuring smile before kissing your forehead. He gets down on one knee in front of you as he unties your boot before carefully removing it. He handles you like he’s caring for an injured kitten, more like honey badger but close enough. Once he’s removed both of your boots he sets them to the side neatly, mentally taking note to clean them for you tomorrow, he stands back up and gently cups your face in his hands.

“Take it easy, my love. And tell me when you need help again instead of trying to do it yourself. I’m here to help you and if that means doing things for you then I’m happy to do them.” He says softly as he kisses the crown of your head. You plague this man’s every thought and he loves every second of it, please just let him take care of you. You sigh softly as an attempt at acceptance.

“Can you help me out of my clothes? I know I can’t get out of this on my own if I can’t even get one boot off.” You say sounding slightly dejected at being so helpless and needing him to do everything for you right now.

“Of course, darling. Let me know if you need a break or anything like that, I’ll try and make this as easy on you as I can.” He says in a warm, reassuring tone. He moves slowly and carefully as he removes each article of clothing, giving you ample opportunity to ask for a break if you need one. He removes everything so gently as he carefully avoids all of your major injuries. Because of his carefulness this is an almost painless procedure for you but for the few grimaces of pain you give he whispers a soft apology while kissing whatever un-injured skin is available. Soon you are completely undressed sitting on your bathroom counter.

“Thank you for being so careful with me.” You say sounding vulnerable as you try to remove the bandages that cover your burns before flinching once again.

“It’s not a problem. You are so precious to me, you know that? I want nothing more than for you to be safe and happy and I will take great care of you in any way I can to make sure of that.” He says softly as he caresses your face gently, easing all signs of pain from it. He kisses your cheek softly before he looks at your injuries.

“Let’s get these removed so they don’t soak up any water and hold it to your injuries.” He says knowing that’s a quick way to make things heal incorrectly or become infected.

“We can take it slow. Whatever you need, baby.” He starts to remove the bandages with gentle hands, revealing nasty burns that he’s frankly surprised anyone would let you walk away with let alone you make it up the stairs with. It’s slow work as the gauze clings bloodily to your burns, but he’ll take as long as he needs. No amount of time is too much if it’s for you. He wants, no he needs, to make sure he gives you the best care possible.

“Do you need anything before the shower? Water, medicine, anything like that? Just say it and it’s yours.” He says so sweetly in your ear as he stands in front of your naked form yet again.

“In all honesty I’m going to need help actually showering. I don’t even think I can wash myself on my own.” You say sounding slightly frustrated with yourself but mostly disappointed and dejected with how useless you feel.

“Hey, you are not useless.” He says sensing your thoughts. “My love, you have been through a lot of pain and a lot of fighting today; we both know that. You’re allowed to need help, that is okay.” He says cutting you off from any rebuttal you might have. He picks up one of your hands and presses a loving kiss you your palm.

“I’ll help with the shower, okay? I’m here, I’ll take care of you. Just say what you need and I’ll do my best to help.”

“Okay, I’m sorry, I’m just not used to not having to do everything on my own when things like this happen. Can you please take me to the shower and help me wash off all this grime? I’m tired of feeling gross on top of the pain.” You ask so softly, you sound so vulnerable, so different from his brave, unshakable partner and it breaks his heart. Although the fact that you feel safe enough with him to let him see this side of you tells him he’s doing something right as your boyfriend, that doesn’t mean he likes seeing you hurt like this though.

“It’s alright; there’s no reason to be sorry.” He says as he wraps his arms around your shoulders softly while kissing the top of your head. He wants you to feel safe and to know that there isn’t a single reason you need to apologize for needing help.

“I’ll help you with the shower, love. You won’t have to worry about a thing.” He speaks into your scalp before he heads to the shower to turn it on and get it to the right temperature, not too hot as to aggravate your burns but also not too cold as to cause you any discomfort. He quickly returns to your side, not wanting to be away from you for more than a few seconds.

“Do you need anything before we get in? I’m here for you, whatever you need.” He asks so sweetly. He just wants to make sure you have everything you could ever need, especially now.

“I just want to be clean.” You sound so small, almost broken. It tears Izuku apart knowing how bad you must be hurting.

“You will be clean in no time, my love.” He lifts you off the counter with such care and helps you into the shower. The water soaking into the shirt and sweatpants he was wearing around your apartment before you had gotten home. Even as the warm water soaks into his clothes including his socks all of his attention is on you, the fabric clings to his built frame and he doesn’t notice as he does everything he can to take care of you.

“Thank you, Izuku.” You whisper as you lean against him in the shower. He really does care about you to the ends of the earth.

“It’s no trouble at all, sweetheart. You’re safe with me, no matter what, I’ll always take care of you.” He speaks so genuinely as he looks down at you with a sweet smile, his perfect green eyes radiating love for you.

“Tell me if you need to be a little more gentle, okay? I won’t be rough at all, I promise. We can take all the time you need. I’m here for you.” Every action he takes is one of undeniable love you you.

“Thank you.” You whisper softly as silent tears, caused by everything that happened, roll down your cheeks and mix with the water from the shower head. He notices the tears falling as you lean against him and he graces you with a soft caring look.

“Do you want to talk about it?” He asks. “You don’t have to of course but no matter what it is I’ll be here to listen, okay?” He says softly, he just wants to give you every bit of comfort he can. He’d let you do whatever you need to feel better. You stare ahead of yourself with and almost blank look as you stare at the tile wall silently for minutes. He waits for you patiently as he continues to get the blood, dirt, and sweat off of your skin. You continue to stare with that silent, blank look at the tile before speaking.

“Every time I close my eyes I can see what happened today. I see hurt people, I see the blood and their agonized facial expressions, I couldn’t even stop to help ease any of their suffering. I practically hear their screams of fear and pain. It echoes in my head, I hear it all. I see my mentor on the ground completely unmoving. I thought Mirko died, I thought she was gone. I thought I lost my mentor. I can still hear her agonized screams go silent, hear my boots on the ground as I rush to her side, feel the fire tear into my skin as I defend her body… That’s how I got these burns, I wouldn’t let anyone near her. She’s the closest thing to a mom I have left and I thought I lost her because I wasn’t fast enough.” The words tumble out of you before silent sobs rack your system. Shaking as you lean into him while the shower rains water on top of both of you.

His heart breaks at your words. You’re words speak of the pain you felt as you fought for not only your own life but the life of someone so important to you as well. He can’t imagine the fear you felt when you heard Mirko’s screams. He hugs you tightly and carefully as he pets your head soothingly, his heart shatters as you continue to sob and your hands grip tightly into his soaked tshirt. All he wants right now is to take that pain away from you but he can’t so he just continues to hold you, keeping you from completely falling apart.

“The paramedics said that because I kept her safe after she went down they were able to save her but I haven’t seen her since they took her away. I just…I just can’t…can’t make myself believe she’s okay. I know they told me she’s alive and fully healed but I can’t make myself believe she’s not dead. No matter what anyone tells me I just keep seeing her unmoving body.” You sob out against his chest, naked and emotionally vulnerable against him as the shower continues to wash away your tears. He continues to hold you tightly as he runs his fingers though you’re hair. With each sob you let out he can feel a deep sharp pain in his chest. He knows all he can do is hold you right now but god he wishes he could do more.

“I’m sorry….I’m so sorry.” You repeat over and over again into his chest. You can just barely be heard over the sound of the water, you sound so broken in this very moment and Izuku can’t help it. He wants to tear apart whatever did this to you, his precious love. But he knows you took care of it, you’re so strong like that, he knows you wouldn’t let someone get away with hurting that many people or your mentor without them paying for it dearly. He also knows something else, you need and you deserve soft gentle love and comfort right now. So he pushes that fierce protectiveness away and focuses on holding you and giving you whatever you need.

“Don’t be sorry, my love.” He whispers against the top of your head as he continues to run his fingers through your hair.

“You have absolutely nothing to apologize for.” He continues as the pain in his heart grows each time those words tumble out of your mouth, he tries not to let it show for you though. Right here, right now; you can be as emotional, and as fragile as you need. You need that and he is going to give it to you, just like everything else you could ever need or want.

Soon enough, you run out of tears to cry as you lean against him; completely and totally emotionally exhausted. But you are now clean thanks to him. He continues to hold you as he caresses the back of your head softly. The shower seems to have washed away some of your pain as well which gives him some hope of you healing from this, both physically and emotionally.

“I’m proud of you, my love. Everything you went through, everything you felt…it takes courage to deal with all of that, and you did it. I couldn’t ask for a better partner by my side.” He says softly to you as he tilts your head up to look into your eyes. Those perfect eyes he fell in love with, they no longer show the pain they had when you limped into the apartment earlier that night, now they mostly look exhausted. You remain silent against him but he can tell you are at least felling better now that you aren’t holding that all in. The concerned look on his face melts into a look of love and kindness before he kisses your forehead. He continues to hold you for a bit longer, just wanting to make you feel as loved and safe as possible before he turns off the water.

“Can you help me dry of and re-bandage these burns?” You ask in the smallest voice he has ever heard from you. He smiles however, finally hearing you speak again after remaining silent for so long. He can tell you are coming out of it and that you will be okay.

“Of course, my love. I’m here to take care of you.” He says softly as he sets you down on the edge of the tub. He grabs a warm fluffy towel and gently drys you off before wrapping it around you. He then begins to carefully clean and re-bandage all of your wounds. He even covers the minor cuts you’ve managed to receive with bandaids. He places a gentle kiss on the undamaged skin near your burns and places soft kisses on all of your smaller, less tender injuries. You feel absolutely no pain through the entire thing thanks to his feather light touches and his careful attention to you. You continue to stare off into space as he works, still haunted by what you saw today but no longer feeling alone in it.

“Thank you.” You whisper in a small exhausted voice.

“It’s no problem at all, love. I’m here to help you however you need. You aren’t alone, my love, you’ll never be alone when you’re with me.” He says as he kneels in front of you, catching your eyes with those soft emerald green ones of his.

“Can you get me some clean clothes and help me get dressed?” You ask again in that small vulnerable voice. He smiles at the request though, happy to see you asking him for help even when it’s not needed.

“Of course I can, my love.” He says lovingly as he strips out of his dripping clothes, leaving him in his boxers before grabbing another towel and drying himself off. He doesn’t want to drop water all over the apartment and give you something to slip on especially in your injured state. He leaves and returns quickly, now dressed in a dry shirt and sweatpants, carrying a change of clothes for you. It’s your favorite shirt to wear of his and your favorite sweatpants of his to steal. They fit you loosely so he knows they won’t aggravate or squeeze your injuries. He helps you get dressed again, it’s again a slow and careful process as he diligently makes sure you don’t get hurt again. Once you’re dressed Izuku gives you a kiss on the cheek and kneels in front of you again as you sit on the edge of the tub.

“Do you want anything to eat or drink, love? Anything at all, we can even order from that takeout place you like or I could make your favorite.” He offers as he caresses your arm, planting kisses to your knuckles.

“I think I just want to rest and be held if that’s alright.” You say as you look up at him, almost afraid of being too needy even though you went through hell today.

“That’s absolutely alright with me.” He says as he gives you a soft look. He wants to show you that it’s safe for you to feel vulnerable around him.

“Rest all you need, love. Just let me know if you need or want anything. I’ll always be here to support you.” He gently kisses your forehead after he finishes speaking.

“I just want you here.” You say softly as a single tear rolls down your cheek in relief at finally, finally feeling safe after everything.

He wipes away your tear with his thumb. This is one of the only times he’s ever seen you cry in the three years he’s known you and frankly those two times was more than enough for a lifetime with you. He never wants you to be this upset again, in his mind the only tears he deems acceptable are tears of joy. To him you deserve to be so happy that you only know tears of joy, you should never have to hurt like this.

“Then that’s what you’ll get.” He responds determined to give you everything you want as he holds you close to him. He holds you firmly and safely, he wants you to feel the support he has for you through his touch, wants you to know he’ll always be here for you and never abandon you. He stands with you, lifting you of the edge of the tub, as you cling to him like a lifeline. Like he’s the one thing holding you up, which in all honesty he kind of is. You both stand there for a few minutes as he gives you physical and emotional support through his touch. After everything that happened today he wants to ensure that you know that you will always have him. After a few more moments of holding each other you whisper to him from where your head rest on his strong shoulder,

“Can we go to bed, honey?”

“Yes, darling, of course. Anything for you.” He says with so much love for you it practically drips from his words. He carefully helps you to the bedroom, practically carrying you the whole way before he tucks you into your shared bed.

“Is there anything you need before we sleep love? A glass of water, something to eat? You name it and it’s yours.” He asks softly as he strokes your cheek.

“Just stay with me? Please?” You ask softly, not wanting to be alone.

He gives you a reassuring smile as he gets into bed next to you. He gently pulls you to him, careful to avoid your injuries before he rest his chin on top of your head.

“I’ll stay right here, love. I’m not going anywhere.” He strokes your damp hair gently as he holds you tightly to himself. Nothing is going to hurt you while he’s here, he’ll make sure of it.

“I love you so much, sweetheart, and I’ll always be here too protect you.” He says into your hair but you barely hear him as you quickly fall asleep in his arms, finally looking peaceful for the first time since you got home.

He stays awake for a little while longer, holding you securely. He can hear the tv in the living room that he forgot to turn of, the news is playing softly and the can hear that they are talking about you.

“Honey Trap, pro hero and sidekick to pro hero Mirko, defends their mentor and hundreds of civilians from a fiery villain attack. Thanks to the two heroes fighting bravely there were no civilian or hero casualties. As of now Mirko is expected to make a full recovery thanks to the emergency medical staff, healing heroes, and her protégé Honey Trap protecting her. The pro Honey Trap was seen on their feet hours after the fight on their way home. We are wishing them both a speedy recovery and we thank them both for risking their lives to keep us all safe.” The news reporter says in her monotone news anchor voice. After hearing that Izuku can’t help but be proud of you, he looks down and brushes that white streak near the front of your hair out of your face before falling asleep himself.

The next day there was a sharp, loud knock on your apartment door. Izuku was washing dishes from when he had made you lunch and quickly dries he hands to go answer the door. Mirko was behind the door when he opened it.

“I’m here to check on them. Are they awake?” She asks the freckled man as soon as he opens the door, keeping her voice low to keep from disturbing you if you were asleep.

Izuku leads her to your bedroom where you’re laying down. He lets her in quietly as to not disturb you in case you had managed to fall back asleep. She quickly and quietly joins your side before you turn to look at the noise.

“Rumi! You’re okay!” You say excitedly as you try to sit up before flinching and laying back down.

“Take it easy, kid. You’re going to hurt yourself.” She says with a chuckle as she leans down to hug you. If you are capable of being excited then you will be fine. “I actually have you to thank for that you know. I saw the news and saw how you protected me after I went down. I’m proud of you, kid.” She says as a hand rest on your shoulder.

“I’m just glad you’re okay! I was so worried.” You say finally relaxing completely now that you can see her standing there in front of you.

“I knew you would be, that’s partially why I’m here.” She says as she ruffles your hair with her hand.

“Well now that you know I’m alive and I know you’re okay I’m going to let you rest. I’ll send a healer hero over here tomorrow for you, until then make sure you rest. And let this poor boy take care of you like we both know he wants to.” She says with a chuckle before taking her leave. Little did you know she was just as worried about you as you were about her, but you didn’t need to know that.

Author’s note time. Do I know how long this is? Absolutely not. But I do know it took me at least six hours of straight writing to complete it. This came to me in the shower a few nights ago and I knew I couldn’t let it go. Now I would like to especially thank @lovinkiri for not only encouraging all of my writing endeavors but also being a truly amazing friend. She is one of the best people I know and I couldn’t be more thankful she is a part of my life. Her writing inspires me to continue writing even though I don’t get much of it done and she encourages me to continue despite that fact. There have been a few mornings where I got out of bed because she was there and thanks to her I have been self isolating less. I can’t thank you enough for everything you do for me, bean. I love you and I hope you enjoyed.

Hi 👋

I don't know if this is just me but what pisses me off about hori is how he treats izuku but not only that what pisses me off a lot more is if you really think about it izuku is low-key the best character you can have to be your main character. What I mean is that izuku is probably one of the only characters that has a lot and I mean A LOT OF DIFFERENT PARALLELS/ CONTRASTS with other characters whether it be as obvious as izuku and all might or as vague as izuku and Dabi. Izuku is the only character who has this which in my opinion makes it so much easier for hori to develop and use him to expand on the story and world building of MHA in general.

So coming back to my original point I really hate hori for ruining izuku and it's literally something I can't get over because by ruining izuku he kind of ruined the whole story

Hey @bibibbon

Thanks for the ask. So many good points here, let go for parts.

1) I think Hori sincerly hates his MC. He has stated how Izu is all thanks to a gag. "We have ikemen characters/pretty boys and gags characters" that I could ignore as I noticed how Japan and others asian countries do think poorly on freckles. But its the way Izu's pain is written off or as a gag that cements how Hori hates Izu.

You don't see any shonen writer do such thing with their MC. Oda does love Luffy. Kubo loves Ichigo and so on...Hori? He is riding BK's dick shameless.

2) Izu has many good paralels with Shig and Dabi. Dabi has a quirk that hurts him(only Dabi has this...I ignore Aoayama bc it was so...poorly done and just to shit on Izu. I will touch on that in a min) and even coming from a rich background...Endy did absolutely nothing! Inko IS emotional neglectful with Izu and did absolutely nothing as Izu was abused for 10 years.

Izu has so many paralels with Shig...its insane. Its insane bc Izu knows almost 0 about him and Shig- while knowing Izu is quirkelss and reacting surprisingly well- knows nothing about Izu. The final showdown is sooo...meh. What those 2 know? How Izu can even save Shig at this point?(his only mission here and is EXTRA HARD for no reason)

3) Izu has a quirk that hurts him and fuck him! I mentioned Aoayama before...ok. look, Izu got a quirk that breaks his bones and UA looks and does nothig, Aoayama's retcon is how he was a quirkless boy and went to afo to get a quirk...I do think this revelation is just to hurt Izu. No, he and Aoyama arent bffs, but his past can hurt him...but at the same time Izu can't ever heal.

He was abused! Plain and simple.

Hori weeps bc...the abuse made his beloved bk look bad.

Izu? Fuck him. Hori wrote this.

4) Izu had such potential. He could have a quirk(quirkless hero Izu wouldnt work in the story) but being way more creative. Hell, imagine Izu winning the Sports Festival without using his quirk? That would be cool.

To sum up, Izu's pain is a gag for Hori. Izu is given a ridiculous impossible task and is hirt and alone. Know the worst part? Its how saving Shig is not smth season 1 Izu would ignore. Izu would help him...or try. This plotline is useless.

Hori is riding on bk till the end.

#hori is a bad writer #never saw a author hating his own mc like Hori does #izuku deserves better #love receive asks #mha critical #bnha critical

Okay All Might for equal asshole opportunity?

I'm going to turn this one down. A while back I said the only three people I'd never have be an asshole would be All Might, Iida and Izuku. Izuku since he's my fav, and the other two because most of the fandom completely hates them.

Some people have good points: All Might did fuck up a lot with Izuku. But God the amount of wildly OOC stories where he's this Quirkist monster are way to much.

I do have a half fic idea where Izuku jumps, gets a healing Quirk and All Might is so incredibly guilty he keeps trying to make it up to Izuku.

I can also see All Might low key having Quirkist thoughts with a Quirkless Izuku, but being confronted with how wrong he is time after time because Izuku just outspeeds everything he is thrown at. And he says some oh-oh shit before being told off.

But that's about it? Sorry, I know this is the Equal Opportunity Asshole series but given how the fandom likes to treat All Might as this monster I'd prefer not, if that makes sense?

#bnha #bnha au #mha critical #or fandom critical #i dont mind #when a fic takes a good look at the flaws #but holy shit #people go far #all might wouldn't murder Izuku for knowing his secret

I can understand ppl not liking stains character (not me tho, love that guy 😌 i too, love and wax poetic about toshi), but im actually surprised that so many people are mad about not only the impact but also the importance of stain in toshinori's arc.. like, idk im sure i fail to pick up on some things as i read the manga, but it makes perfect sense why stain would take on such an important role in saving and helping toshi (in more ways than one). But maybe im just biased ?? Anyway, something something they hate him for being a slut and all the killings something something

Yeah, what gets me is that post was clearly talking about the people who were directly involved in Toshi's arc about choosing to live and the OP included Bakugo bc he's clearly being set up as the coup de grâce/grand finale to that arc about living. Stain's inclusion as a direct participant in that arc was also obvious-- like, "why is a self-righteous killer being included in Toshi's arc but not my favorite student character?? this is proof that the writing is bad!" is such a wild argument imho, bc it's so obvious to me that Toshi needed to develop a relationship with a villain chara entirely because of this:

"If you think of him as anything more than a villain--" the entirety of Act 2 exists to challenge this mindset, and Act 3 exists to defeat it. Stain plays a crucial role beyond just helping convince Toshi to live and fight for his own (and everyone else's) right to keep living--Toshi's heart is able to heal specifically because he doesn't dismiss Stain or think of him as "nothing more than a villain." His meeting with Stain triggers a subtle but needed change in how Toshi views villains:

Calling Stain's contribution to the final act "pointless" ignores the heart of this story and why Toshinori SPECIFICALLY needed Stain SPECIFICALLY as a catalyst for a certain SPECIFIC change, and it ignores what that change actually means for the greater narrative-- again, people tend to severely underestimate how important Tomura and Toshinori actually are to each other's respective arcs, and those arcs are now converging. Like, I don't want to see ppl feigning surprise when their arcs finally overlap with each other, lmao.

Side note, but Stain being a central catalyst character for both Toshi and Tomura + also being the trigger for Tomura doubling down on his villainy + ALSO being one of the many key triggers that will likely lead to Tomura's salvation feels.... bizarrely fitting?? Without Stain, Tomura never seeks out Izuku at the mall, never meets Toga + Touya + Spinner (ESPECIALLY SPINNER), and remains forever at odds with Toshi due to both men remaining stuck in their respective hero/villain roles and being utterly unable to truly *SEE* each other outside those roles. Stain is literally a load bearing wall lmao ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bkgo going from "stock bully" to someone who practically has to beg Toshinori and Izuku to take their fucking Lexapro while tears stream down his face is the funniest direction his character arc could have taken, but it’s also the best direction it could've taken.

↑ In Bakugo's case, it's obvious why he has a role in Toshinori's arc about living and it's completely fair to include him in a list of people who are most important and influential to that particular arc. There's no need for explanation and no question about what his role in the upcoming chapters will be.

Also I keep seeing people say that the suicide move was meant to be Toshi's homage to Bakugo when, like... it very clearly wasn't. 💀💀💀 Like, Bakugo does have a right to be upset that Toshi was planning to kill himself just to buy them all a few extra seconds of time against AFO-- but I feel like people kind of....?? Don't understand Bakugo's character development if they seriously think he would yell at or guilt-trip Toshi about it. He didn't yell at Izuku when Izuku hit rock bottom, and he knows that Izuku and Toshi suffer from the same feelings of worthlessness and lack of regard for themselves better than anyone. - - - - - - - - - -

Anyway, I think the real root of the issue is actually less about Stain and more so that people are just mad about All Might lmao. One quarter of the fandom thinks he should've died in Kamino, another quarter thinks he should just die now, another quarter thinks that Iron Might is character assassination, a chunk of folks just don't care, and whatever's left over is the handful of old man enthusiasts who think that it's truly lovely (myself included)-- Iron Might is fully intended to be a love letter to everything Toshinori loves and wants to protect, himself included. Criticize it if you like, but if you can't at least acknowledge that much, then something in your heart is dead.

I also feel like also there's something to be said here abt how fandom approaches older adult characters w mental health problems & who struggle with suicidal ideation vs. how they approach the younger characters-- Like, I've seen a shocking lack of sympathy for Toshi from the same people who are very considerate to characters like Touya and Tomura, and I've seen otherwise kind people calling Toshi a "whiner" for what are obvious symptoms of SEVERE depression. These characters all have wildly different circumstances, yes-- but they all struggle with suicidality that manifests in different ways, and I feel they all deserve a more compassionate, delicate reading into their specific arcs and their respective actions as a result.

Toshi's arc and his struggles with mental health in particular is something I feel is handled in such a deeply kind way. The story never once disparages Toshi for backsliding, or treats him as selfish or a lost cause for continuing to struggle even though there are so many people supporting him and encouraging him to live. The story is kind, but the fandom isn't, and that's a bit of a tragedy. (and like, this is probably tmi, but I've struggled with my own mental health since middle school and the suicidal ideation really never goes away no matter how well I'm doing in life-- so.... I'm so happy to see a character with similar issues being depicted so kindly in a story, lol.)

Anyway!

"something something they hate him for being a slut and all the killings something something"

Yeah, they hated him b/c his ass was fat, or whatever those crazy kids are saying these days. <- fully aware that Stain is flat as a board.

#like ur fave's ass might be fat but is it LOAD BEARING WALL fat?? didn't think so. that trunk is where stain stores his massive plot impact.#sophie.txt #mha spoilers #(sorry this turned into a rant and thank u for the ask! lol)#yagi toshinori #akaguro chizome #suicide mention #suicide cw

for the hc game: au where one for all doesn't actually work for quirkless people, Toshinori just had an invisible quirk the whole time; the ability to do anything if he believed he could

this is like the opposite of that no quirk au...

1- ok, so you need to have your own pre-existing plus alpha factor in order to activate any quirk in your body. Have no plus alpha factor or no quirk? Quirkless, you need both in order to actually manifest a power. Some quirkless people do actually have quirks, but no factors to activate, and some vice versa. One For All quirk works like a car, but doesn't come with the key to activate. Toshinori had a key, and also a second, secret car that protected him all along from dying of having two cars, or getting his limbs blown off by the new car. The metaphors getting away from me.

2- Izuku, however, has no plus alpha factor because i know thats what you wanted out of this prompt. (he has a quirk- his hair is a visual indicator of this, but alas, no key.) Which means, he's going to be unable to actually use OfA once he has it.

3- but since his New Quirk Car is Totally Haunted and full of Secret Smaller Cars... i mean, does the can-do-anything quirk from Toshi mean OfA would let Izuku do anyhing if he thinks he can? No, since Izuku can't turn on the can-do-anything quirk to let that happen. hm. BUT, but, Toshinori does have a key, and Izuku's got part of his genes now, so can Izuku do anything Toshinori believes he can, just not anything Izuku thinks he can? I mean that'd probably just open more doors for izuku since his own self worth wouldn't hold him back. So actually what's going to happen is related to how Toshinori can feel his vestige self, but only when in contact with Izuku- Izuku can do anything Toshinori thinks he can, as long as Toshinori is physically touching him.

4- so..... that entrance exam is going to be frustrating. OfA just doesn't activate. Uraraka is injured by the zero pointer, but RG heals her up. Izuku goes home and after several hours of sheer dread, eventually musters the courage to tell All Might he needs to meet him at the beach, intending to give OfA back. All Might arrives, and tells Izuku that he is the right choice, still. He only had a few hours with the Quirk in his system, and only fifteen minutes to figure out activation, so All Might is fully ready to blame his own teaching on it. They try a few times to activate it on the beach that night, and nothing works. Toshinori puts his hand on Izuku's shoulder and says it's alright, they can try more later, but Izuku wants one more shot - and shatters his arm in the process.

5- he hardly feels the pain, overjoyed it worked even if All Might has to rush him to RG for more healing and a very irritated lecture about the hour. Still, they're in good spirits when they meet the next day for training, not at the beach (too popular now) but a room in Might Tower. And yet... Izuku can't do a repeat. Toshinori suspects he still needs more muscle mass and his body is instinctively preventing activation to avoid injury. He begrudgingly gets Gran's help, and everyone's trying to figure out what the pattern is. Gran bullies Toshi into asking Nedzu for help, which he does after an apology for resigning before the school year even started. But Nedzu likes puzzles, and he eventually suspects the reason, but isn't sure why physical contact is enough to override it, and if that will continue to work once Toshi burns through his share of OfA (or dies). He does, however, have an idea- would a support item with Toshi's DNA be able to replicate the effect? What good luck that UA has a hero student and a support student who can help- Mirio Togata and Bibimi Kenranzaki! (Izuku doesn't know why All Might looks so nervous at the suggestion that they meet to ask for help...)

#will a braid of Toshi's hair around Izuku's wrist work? genuinely no idea it could go either way #but i mean hey! Izuku is getting private training at Might Tower and UA isn't getting attacked so #this is a short term benefit for some characters #the long term will depend on... other factors #does Izuku go support gear quirkless hero when unable to use his power outside of dadmight hugs?#or does he wrench ofa out of the cold grip of the uncaring universe that tried to deny it from him?#who knows!#pocket talks to people #anon #ask game

gentry. anyone!izuku gets swapped w canon vigilante arc Izuku. lets say canon!izuku gets a nice holiday break. what about anyone!izuku? how would he deal with the whole canon mess?

I really think that Canon!Izuku would be told that he can't get to UA because the situation is complicated with All Might. Canon!Izuku would be "I knew it! He hates me because I didn't eat his bento. T_T" and Shouto would be "Yes. That's definitely why. Why don't you take a two weeks nap in the beach house?"

Also, Shouto would probably manage to convince Izuku that AFO is Midoriya Hisashi and that he is in a world where his father is a stay-at-home dad while Inko is the one working abroad.

Anyone!Izuku is so confused. There is no trace of Anyone here, Dabi revealed his identity by dancing on live television while dissing Endeavor, he is apparently a UA student?

He screams like a banshee when he sees All Might. Toshi assumes that it's because he feels guilty about the bento. Izuku keeps being fed in bento for the whole thing.

Izuku continues Canon!Izuku's job. He is more prone to breaking into people's place to sleep and feed himself (he takes full advantage to the fact so many people have evacuated their homes.) The big difference with Canon!Izuku is that if he wants to disappear, he can. Endeavor, All Might and Hawks are not happy that they don't know what Izuku is up to until he calls them.

I know in my heart that Izuku wouldn't hesitate to ask Eri to rewind Nagant to heal her and to work with her.

Izuku would be constantly making fun of AFO.

Izuku wouldn't hide well that he isn't this world's Izuku and people might wonder if he isn't under the influence of the quirk. That could explain why 1-A goes after him.

They wouldn't win.

Izuku leaving notes in Canon!Izuku's notebooks, detailing what he did and leaving encouragements.

Izuku's real target isn't AFO but Spinner. Find him, make him his agent by promising to save Shigaraki, is the key to destroy the LoV and to regain the public's trust. He leaves a detailed plan in Canon!Izuku's notebook.

Not sure if you’ve answered this so if you have, my bad but how would bonding work if ibara was for blackwhip, setsuna for danger sense, and kinoko/camie for smokescreen. Btw love your fics

Glad you enjoy my work!

Cool, might as well give this a shot (he said, hoping the floodgates don't open and swallow him up).

Reminder for the uninitiated, in 849, a third stage Bond between Izuku and one of his significant others results in the girl involved getting 1% of One for All, and the following enhancements happen... 1: One for All empowers the girl's original Quirk. 2: The associated past user of One for All's Quirk enhances the girl's Quirk, or is ported over in its entirety 3: The girl's Quirk enhances Izuku's use of the past user's Quirk

Ibara Shiozaki, via Blackwhip. Not something that was ever in the running. I didn't expect her to be cool with a polycule and the Tsuyu-Banjou connection (Blackwhip - Froppy Style!) was one of the sparks that caused me to come up with 849 to begin with. Still, it's a fun concept. In that case...

1: Shiozaki's vines get stronger, tougher, and grow faster. I'd also say that they can tasty fruits with healing properties. 2: Blackwhip's influence allows her to grow vines all over her body, not just from her head, though those wither more quickly. She can also protect her vines with Blackwhip's energy. 3: Izuku's Blackwhips can grow sharp thorns, causing much more damage when used as a weapon.

Setsuna Tokage was originally one of the candidates for the Second User's bond, and in a prior post, I offered her options as that Bond. And the Mei-Hikage connection was one of the four I started out with. But Lizard Tail Splitter has a huge sensory component, given that she can sense through her split pieces. So... 1: OfA would increase the range that Setsuna can split her body parts, alongside hyper charging her regeneration to nearly the same levels as the Nomu’s Super Regeneration. 2: Danger Sense would port over in its entirety. It's an easy Quirk to add to someone. Setsuna's own Quirk would allow her to sense Danger through any part of her. 3: Izuku could, essentially, "tag" a person, place, or thing with Danger Sense and be able to know whenever danger struck it. He'd start with a restrictive distance and number of times he can split his attention this way, but it'd increase with practice.

Camie Utsushimi, the Shiketsu student that Toga hijacked and replaced. She's very popular among a number of people I know, I wonder why? (my money's on the skintight bodysuit) Anyway, since I couldn't organically introduce her quickly, and I didn't want to drag out the bonds forming for too long, as I prefer relationships forming and growing between people rather than contriving reasons for characters to not start dating. So, she wasn't realistically on the table. But if I had chosen her...

1: One For All upgrades Glamour in two key ways. First she can produce enough mist that she can condense it to make her illusions solid, though they can still be broken with enough force, or blown away. Second, if someone inhales her Glamour, she can make them hallucinate in addition to her illusions. (blatantly copied from DeusVerve's Mirage AU) 2: Smokescreen gets ported over in its entirety, and can be used as a medium for Camie's Glamour. 3: Izuku can easily shape his smoke to make it appear as if they were objects. In one chapter of 849, I had Izuku create a crude Smokescreen-duplicate of himself that he used as a sparring partner, using Toru's light manipulation to make it look like several blobs of paint in a vaguely Izuku-shape. In this case, Izuku could make a perfect Smokescreen duplicate no problem.

Kinoko Komori, the mushroom girl. She's adorable, somewhat shy at first, but utterly powerful and, as the meme goes, you cannot kill her in a way that matters. If I didn't love Hagakure's peppy nature so much she could have been a candidate for the bond with En. And if she did...

1: Did you see how powerful her mushroom spore Quirk was in canon?! And you want to juice it with OfA?! Game over, man, game over! I took an ecology class taught by a mycologist in undergrad, and dear god are fungi some of the most insane organisms on the planet! What will we get? Fireproof mushrooms? Ability to grow no matter the light or humidity? Re-enact The Last of Us? I don't know, and I don't really want to. 2: Oh fuck, a mushroom's main weakness is sensitivity to light and you want to add Smokescreen to make it go away? Do you want to hasten your inevitable decay? Because Smokescreen WILL be ported as is, and it would contain all of Kinoko's spores. If the Smokescreen contains humidity as well, villains might as well just skip the middleman and arrest themselves to save themselves time and agony! 3: I suppose I'd make it so that Izuku's Smokescreen could drain the vitality of people trapped inside it, or perhaps clump together to impede people's movements. But that paltry power is nothing compared to the goddess of death that he just unleashed upon the world. Be grateful that I didn't add Komori to the polycule in this fic. It would've been all over but the shouting the second her bond formed.

Thanks! A good point to start is our protagonist.

Izuku is the Fool, the hero, the wild card. He is the one who awakens to his persona first inside the Aldera Greenhouse. In the team he is the leader and comes up with the plans to infiltrate the palaces.

Like how the persona series has themes for the initial personas of our cast I have one as well. All the initial personas are "people who needed help". That's vague I know but trust.

Izuku's initial persona is Gawain from Arthurian Legend. Gawain has Bless and healing spells but that's soon put away for the Wild Card stuff. Izuku as a Phantom Thief wields a one handed axe referencing Gawain's story and a pistol for his gun. His outfit is similar to Joker's with a key difference, his mask is similar to Stain's mask kinda like a headband. With two ribbon like tails that constantly flow even if there is no wind to sway them. Also his outfit has green accents instead of red.

Oh hell yeah

Why are "Suspected Traitor Midoriya Izuku" fanfics so painfully cliché and nonsensical?

The ONLY villain Izuku could be implicated in working with is Stain.

I thought this little subgenre of the fandom would produce a FEW interesting deviating AUs about Midoriya starring in The Fugitive. Instead, what I found was a poorly-written story template that erases 40% of Seasons 1 and 2’s plot points to make Hurt, No Comfort fanfiction about whumpee Izuku Midoriya having panic attacks from police brutality, and then attempting suicide.

The trend popped up in 2020, during the Overhaul Arc, but the fanfics feature so little in-story information and focus mostly on information from the first 5 episodes, with a hard emphasis on middle school. It feels like a MHA whump enthusiast started telling their community about an anime featuring a bullied crybaby and they flocked over. These stories have so little understanding of the actual anime, they read more like the writers only understand the story by other people’s fanfiction. Clips of the show, at best.

So, below are common flaws in these whump stories, how they could be improved, but ultimately how dropping the "He's working with the League" plot point and having them suspect him of working with Stain is far more plausible in-story.

This is all with the FULL UNDERSTANDING that these stories are supposed to be about an innocent Izuku being persecuted, betrayed, and heartbroken so that he can fall into despair, be abused, cry crystal tears of suffering… I’m into that shit. I had already leafed through a hundred or so stories of Bakugou and Shigaraki abusing him. And I wouldn't have read SO many of THESE stories if I wasn't looking for good content... It's just that even the most popular stories on AO3 are SO weaksauce.

Elevate yourself. Do better.

Ignoring Police Procedure because the Authors Prefer Nonsensical Accusations

The authors want to get to police/UA staff beating Izuku in an undisclosed basement as soon as possible… Which I wholeheartedly appreciate, but I suppose its a matter of taste that I don't share their opinion that Izuku's heartbreak is sweeter if the accusations make no sense.

I’d prefer either changing key details in the story so that the investigation has a plausible accusation (actually write the League framing Izuku) OR using the literal plot of the anime and being clever about what accusation could be made and by whom.

I read a story where Izuku was framed with a video of him setting fire to the school and because Aizawa and All Might were so mad, they skipped investigation and a TRIAL and just held Izuku in a sensory deprivation prison for five years. The League has a shapeshifter AND a clone-maker, y'all. I did a find search of the entire story. No one mentions Toga or Twice, not even once.

Story Ideas:

At summer camp, the League could implicate Izuku as their mole and reveal that kidnapping Bakugou was part of Izuku's payment. Hell, let Izuku run into the portal, restrain him, kill Bakugou, throw Izuku to All for One so that he can be miraculously healed of ALL of his injuries and tell him, "Good luck getting All Might to believe you weren't working with us." Because if the story is ALWAYS going to be "no one bothers to call Tsukauchi The Human Lie Detector until after they've mentally and physically scarred Izuku for life" ... could the prompt for the betrayal be a bit more interesting?

Or after USJ, Bakugou tells Aizawa Izuku’s “I was given a quirk” confession that, when paired with All Might telling him about All for One, leads Aizawa to quickly and quietly detain Izuku. (Which is also a good cautionary tale about why the hell Kacchan gets to be in the loop but Aizawa has no idea what's going on.) I mean, c'mon, the plot of MHA is basically begging for Izuku to confess that he was given All Might's power and Aizawa not believe him because, hello, All Might clearly still has his quirk.

Erasing 40% of the story to make a plot-holes doesn’t make Izuku’s heartbreak any sweeter. Making characters OOC requires massaging the plot, anyway. If you’re going to change Aizawa to foaming-at-the-mouth irrational or change Class A to being “so scared” no one assumes Izuku must have been coerced into working with Shigaraki information… the LEAST you could do is come up with an interesting red herring to explain why an underground hero lost the ability to do a proper investigation?

Izuku Writes Creepy Notebooks

For most of these stories, this is the only evidence that Izuku was working with the League, in some stories, Aizawa beats Izuku for simply having the notebooks; thinking he’s League traitor isn’t even mentioned! I can see why the bloodthirsty whump writers like this: the notebooks are connected to middle school bullying, so Class A resenting them can quickly segue into Izuku having PTSD panic attacks and running to make his first suicide attempt.

These stories also completely ignore that Izuku asks people questions. Authors will write that Izuku wrote several pages about Uraraka but never, ever actually talked to her to answer his questions: Would she lose her quirk if she loses even one finger (like Shigaraki)? Should Hatsume make protection gloves? How about Ashido, Bakugou and Todoroki? Would Todoroki's powers still work with protective gloves like Bakugou?

But, am I a bad person for wanting a bit more meat on this bone? Instead of Aizawa/Nezu expelling/arresting Izuku simply because they fear the notebooks could be used for evil in the future, doesn’t it sound plausible to believe and heartbreaking for Izuku to have to prove that "most of Stain's victims are profiled in the last few of Izuku's notebooks." (It would still be circumstantial evidence since, if Izuku writes profiles on hundreds of heroes across 15 notebooks, some of them being Stain’s victims is just par for the course. But I prefer this idea over “Izuku OPENLY writes in his notebooks every day, but doesn’t that just prove he’s the traitor even more because we’d assume no traitor would be stupid enough to spy on us in our faces? Gyah! His evil genius is staggering.")

PS: If Bakugou points out that shitty Deku has been making these notebooks for so long, #1 is more of a coloring book of his favorite heroes... he either gets called a traitor too and thrown into prison to be beaten or everyone's response is simply "But they exist! They EXIST! They are creepy!"

Let’s Ignore the USJ/Internship Plot, Even Thought the Fanfic is about the USJ/Internship

Izuku passed on information about Class A to Shigaraki... even though a major plot point of USJ was that Shigaraki didn't know anything about Class A's abilities.

Insist that Izuku’s multiple, painful self-sacrificing moments were all just covers for his evil plans. Either that, or don’t mention them at all, because pointing out that he broke his legs to help All Might sounds like too good of a reason to trust him.

Let’s erase All for One, Gran Torino, and the Nomus from the story because we either need All Might to assume Izuku told Shigaraki about his injury or the story features a quirkless Izuku and the accusation that All for One was rewarding him with a secret quirk is too logical to be allowed. All Might/Nezu/Aizawa cannot be allowed a plausible reason to assume Shigaraki seduced Izuku to the dark side.

Completely ignore that Tsukauchi The Human Lie Detector wrote Izuku’s statement.

Izuku did Summer Camp… Because

Since this is the arc that introduces the concept of “a traitor in their midst,” this trend just crammed Izuku into it without making it fit. So now most of the 400 fanfics are stuck rewriting a few templates of Class A and the teachers accusing him for no reason and ignoring what actually HAPPENED at the summer camp to do so. Because… he has notebooks…

Again, insist that Izuku’s multiple, painful self-sacrificing moments were all just covers for his evil plans. Either that, or don’t mention them at all. Because two broken arms, going out of his way to save a little boy, coming up with plans to save several classmates, and contributing to the arrests of two villains sound like too good of reasons to trust him.

Izuku TOLD the Pussycats who the target and was part of the vanguard protecting him. Without that message, Mr. Compass would have still captured Bakugou with NO ONE being the wiser. No, let’s go one step deeper. Izuku could have left Bakugou behind during the final exam so that he would be forced to take remedial lessons. If the kids who failed really were staying behind, Izuku would give that address. If it was just a logical deception, Izuku would give that address.

Honestly, I've never seen a "he told the League where the summer camp was" story that actually talked about what happened at the summer camp. These fanfictions will have CHAPTERS of Izuku having panic attacks from middle school days and never mention Bakugou... the reason for Izuku's lack of self-worth. Authors will give Izuku trust issues with teachers to make his panic attacks because of Aizawa more heartbreaking... and never, ever mention that Bakugou is the reason teachers didn't help him.

Completely ignore that Tsukauchi The Human Lie Detector wrote Izuku’s statement.

Overhaul is Such a Touching and Courageous Arc that it is Never Mentioned

Sometimes, sometimes... the whole "Gyah, Izuku makes creepy notebooks so lets turn on him!" plot happens after the Overhaul Arc... But his actions during the Arc are NEVER mentioned.

I do recall two stories: One where Aizawa accused him of working for Stain, the League and Overhaul at the same time and when Izuku points out that makes no sense, he gets punched and told not to talk back... And in another, they just accuse Izuku being the mole who informed the yakuza of the sting operations... and no one, not even the Big Three mention how little sense that makes.

Everyone shut up. Beating the every-loving shit out of Kaiju Overhaul and single-handedly saving the tortured girl are nothing compared to creepy notebooks.

Assuming Stain and Izuku are mentor and pupil

By using the plot of the anime...

Nezu/Aizawa/All Might assuming middle school Deku imprinted on Stain the moment he heard a “All Might alone is worthy” speech is a much better assumption than … oh, right, without All for One in the story, there is no logical explanation how NEET Shigaraki recruited Izuku, when he couldn’t even recruit decent henchmen for USJ.

I like the idea of Stain disabling the two heroes who didn’t save Kacchan. Two cowards scolding a child for being braver than them? Since Stain’s arc is a year and some change from Ep. 1, if those two heroes were among the first he ever attacked, it could cause someone to double-take that their last patrol before being forced into retirement was featured on the news with two future UA students.

Stain SAVED Deku from Shigaraki. For any Pro Hero to assume that means Izuku was working with Shigaraki instead of Stain is like watching a girl stick her tongue down a guy's throat and doubting they are a couple because you saw that girl snatch a weave off someone she hates in the school parking lot.

Stain followers, in plain view of Pro Heroes, have declared Izuku as equally a true hero as All Might, saved him, or helped him save the day. Not only was Toga instrumental in Izuku's success in the Overhaul Arc (and Uraraka and Aizawa were aware of that) but the only reason she HAD Izuku's blood was because of a discreet little meet-up during the PLE that could have gone completely unnoticed, except Sero, Mineta, and Kaminari loudly said they saw Izuku interact with a naked girl. Shit! Well, now Izuku has to mention Camie to Beast, it would be out of character to NOT ask.

The Mall Encounter implicates Izuku so much, I'm actually getting scared. IS Izuku Midoriya a Stain follower?! Here is the monologue straight from the DUB: "What's the difference? Your goals, your villains... I don't understand you. I don't agree with the Hero Killer either, but I can understand him. Because the Hero Killer and I have something in common. We're inspired by All Might. That night, he even saved me from the flying nomu. He's a maniac, but he doesn't destroy things because it sounds fun. And when things were looking bad for him, he didn't abandon his mission... Like YOU did. Even if what he did was wrong, he held true to his beliefs. That's the difference."

Now, when Tsukauchi The Human Lie Detector took Izuku's statement after the Mall Encounter… because yes, he takes Izuku’s statement after every fucking crisis, people… even if Izuku repeated that monologue word for word, all Tsukauchi would hear was the confused a innocent hero-in-training.

If Nezu/Aizawa/All Might read back that statement, they could EASILY reinterpret it as an idealistic young pupil disappointed that he couldn't convince his master to spare the lives of all of the fake, unworthy heroes he'd profiled for him. (This serial killer killed 17 and injured 24, now. That's a whole lotta people not killed for a serial killer.) How EASY would it be to suspect that Ingenium was only alive because Izuku pleaded his case? How EASY would it be to think Izuku only sent the signal to Class A to get Iida away from his master ASAP before he had to choose between his mission and his new friends?

And just to wrap up in a nice, neat bow how much the Mall Encounter makes Izuku look like a Stain pupil, the fact that it happened at all looks like Shigaraki flaunting how vulnerable Izuku is with his master in jail. A rogue looking to recruit the quirk analyst prodigy he suspects was that asshole's Player 2. "I hate everyone. But the Hero Killer pisses me off the most.” Izuku tried to act as ignorant as possible. “Wasn’t he one of your guys?” But then he dropped character when Shigaraki dared to compare himself to his master. Shigaraki asked why Stain had more YouTube views and Izuku responded with a shockingly personal declaration on his respect for Stain and All Might.

… Seriously, I’ve gaslit myself into thinking Izuku really is Stain’s pupil...

At this point, I’m just working out the kinks on either an actual traitor AU or a reasonable doubt fugitive AU.

Conclusion

I love making characters suffer. I genuinely do. I can tolerate melodrama for the sake of characters suffering. I love OOC because I equally love Aizawa beating Izuku and Aizawa dating Izuku... If someone has a recommendation on both happening at the same time, I'd appreciate it.

But I just don’t understand the appeal of lazy writing or nonsensical characters WITHIN the context of the story being written. Every time someone says "Izuku sold information about us" all I can think about is that Shigaraki has never understood any of Class A's powers. Just write that Izuku wanted the League to kidnap Bakugou. Use the fucking anime.

“S-Shin?”

Flashes of arguments long gone and forgotten soft words race through your mind as everything comes back to you, sending you to your knees as a sudden pain erupts in your head.

“Shit, are you okay?” “M-my head hurts so…fucking much.” “Take some deep breaths, okay? Do you know where Izuku kept the key for this collar?” You shake your head as he holds you and curses before he moves you around, pulling your hair away from your neck as he pokes seemingly random spots on the collar.

“Hold your hair away from the back of the collar, this is one of the dumbest things I’m about to try.” You don’t have time to ask anything before you feel an intense heat at the back of your neck, hot enough that sweat is already building on the nape of your neck and the smell of burnt metal greets your nose. “Just a few more seconds, then we can get you out of here.”

Just as he said, a few seconds pass before the clunking metal falls apart before you and you press your hands to your freed neck. You wince as your fingers pass over some healed burn marks from your last escape attempt but shake it off and shakily stand. “Why are you here? I thought-“ “Look, I’ll explain everything later but right now we need to get out of here.” Shin cuts you off and leads you out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

“B-bunny? Where are you going?” You jump and turn your head to see Izuku slumped over and struggling to sit up. “Ignore him, that sedative won’t last long in his system.” Shin tells you and practically pushes you to the open front door. “You fucking bastard! I’ll kill you Shinso! I’ll find you Bunny! We’re soulmates, we’re meant for each other!” You stumble as Izuku screams out and hesitantly look back, deja vu hitting you with the ghosts of all your previous escape attempts and his arms wrapping around you like a vice before you could set foot outside.

Yet, there he is. Laying on the floor shaking, and struggling to just get up while tears stream down his face. Why do you feel such an ache in your chest seeing him like this?

“Please, Bunny, don’t go! I-I’m sorry I was mean!” He cries and you stumble as you watch him try to crawl over to you. “Unless you want to stay here, I really think we should get moving.” Shin tugs you forward and you have to force yourself to move. Your bare feet soon meet the cool earth as the two of you run from your former prison, rocks and fallen twigs digging into your feet until Shin stops and you run into him.

You’re about to ask him why he stopped when you spot someone you thought you’d never be able to see again. “Dabi!” You grin and race over to him, your arms wrapping around his lean frame. “Hey Shrimp, this dipshit finally did something good, huh?” You lean back and watch him glare at Shin, his hands twitching enough that you’re sure if you weren’t right in front of him then he’d have lit Shin up like a Christmas tree.

“Hey, just get her out of here and I’ll handle the rest. All I want is her to be safe.” That for some reason tears a laugh out of Dabi. “Oh yeah sure. I’ll just trust some undercover hero shithead, the same shithead that couldn’t be a man and tell someone in person that they want to breakup.” “Dabi, just take me home, please.” You jump in before he can do anything to Shin. Dabi remains glaring at Shin until he sighs and pulls out a phone and texts a number, one of Kurogiri’s portals appearing seconds later. “Keep her out of public spaces for a while, just long enough for things to calm down.” “Whatever, hero.”

You turn to look at Shin just before you step through, “Thank you Shin.” and with that you’re back in the bar. You have only seconds before you’re tackled by a crying Toga and Spinner and only kept standing with Dabi’s help. “Alright, give her some space ya freaks.”

You laugh, really laugh for the first time in months, and try your best to wrap your arms around the two. “I’m never letting you out of my sight Y/N! I missed you too much!”

Dabi guides the three of you to a booth while Toga chatters away, filling you in on any new drama, and stalks over to Shigaraki. It’s almost surreal how easily everything feels normal again for you. At least, that’s what you’re chalking up that weird ache in your chest to.

Shinso watches Y/N step through the portal and sighs. “At least she’ll be safe.” Reluctantly, he turns back in the direction of the nearly obscured house and waits for the inevitable angry green mess to come hurtling towards him.

After all, it’s either let him be branded as a traitor and possible villain as some form of revenge for ‘taking’ his soulmate away from him or try to beat some sense into the hero. Even though, he knows he’ll also get quite the beating. “I’m a fucking idiot, aren’t I?” Shinso mutters to himself as he readies himself, his eyes locked on the path towards the house while he loosely wraps the end of his capture scarf around his palm.

The sudden crack of branches is his only warning as he flings himself to the side and once the dust settles, an infuriated Izuku is glaring him down. “Where is she?!” “Tch, she’s somewhere safe from you.” Shinso has to retreat into the canopy of the trees as Izuku mindlessly attempts to slam into him, rage unlike anything Shinso had seen taking over the green hero.

“Why? She’s MY soulmate! You don’t know ANYTHING about us!” Izuku screams at him as Shinso flings himself from tree to tree to avoid what are likely fatal hits, each time he narrowly dodges one of Izuku’s fists he can still feel his breath being forced out of him.

“You kidnapped her and forced her away from a normal life! That’s what I know! Normal people in a relationship, soulmates or not, they don’t kidnap each other.” He tries to get through to him, if only to try and calm the berserk hero down before he demolishes the whole forest or ends up killing Shinso.

“I brought her home! I was good to her! Do you know how long I waited to hold my soulmate?” This isn’t looking good, it seems no matter what Shinso says, it just makes Izuku worse. “I’ve watched everyone around me find their soulmates and live their happily ever fucking after! Don’t I deserve my happy ending?! Haven’t I given the damn universe enough?!” Shinso’s feet stutter to a stop as Izuku breaks down huffing and puffing with fat tears running down his freckled cheeks.

“All I’ve wanted for the past ten years is to find my soulmate! I’m sick of pretending I’m happy when I’m not, I’m sick of being left alone at the end of the day!” Izuku smashes a fist into the earth, sending a shudder through Shinso’s body from the aftershocks.

“Well you found her, but guess what? After all of this, she may not even want to see you anymore—let alone admit you’re her soulmate. If you want her back then…then first you have to calm down.” What matters first is getting him to stop smashing everything in sight and trying to kill him.

Tentative steps lead Shinso right to Izuku, a cautious hand behind him with a strong enough sedative ready, and an open palm reached out. “If you want her then you have to do it right. I’ll…I’ll help you but only if you do things right this time.” Shinso sighs and waits for any reaction, good or bad, from Izuku.

“Why? If I’m some monster like you’re making me out to be, then why help me?” “Because it might make Y/N happy. It’s not for you. You two share marks, so maybe you’re meant to be together but not if you’re going to lock her up in a tower. So do you want my help or not?”

Shinso holds his breath as Izuku slowly gets up, standing just an inch taller than him, and grabs his hand in a vice-like grip. “Fine, where is she?” Shinso hisses and tears his hand away, pressing on the sore joints in his hand as he takes a step back. “Somewhere she feels safe, I’m not telling you anything else until she tells me she wants to see you again.”

“Shinso, just tell me where she is and I’ll make it up to her! Please!” Izuku grabs onto the front of his shirt and yanks him closer as he begs. “If you want my help then we’re doing this my way and that means waiting until she wants to see you again. For now, just go get cleaned up. I’ll call you if she says yes.” Shinso pries his fingers off the dark material of his shirt and starts walking away, an ear listening for a possible attack from the other hero.

“Hey Y/N, you’ve got a call.” Kurogiri calls to your hunched over form at the end of his bar. “Take a message for me Kuro, I’m too tired.” You blindly wave him off and attempt to catch some sleep on the cool bar top. “I’m not your secretary.” He mutters as he leaves the wireless receiver in your open hand and stalks off.

“Ugh, what is it?” You sit up and close your eyes as the static on the other end clears out. “Hey Kitten.” Your eyes snap open and you suddenly feel awake as you hear Shin—or Shinso apparently—say that old nickname he had given you. “Why are you calling?” You wince at the bitter tone hanging on your tongue, some hurt clinging onto you after Dabi had told you what had happened between you and Shin so long ago.

“Before I say anything, Midoriya wants to see you again and he’s willing to do things right this time.” You freeze up and Dabi immediately notices from across the bar, you hold up a hand and walk into the back towards your temporary room.

You had been held by Deku long enough that your landlord figured you were dead or something, he waited two months for you to magically appear with rent, and your stuff had been trashed and your apartment given to someone else. So now you crashed at either the hideout or Toga’s place. Unfortunately, that meant Dabi stuck to you like you’d disappear again if you weren’t in his sights.

“Fuck no. If that’s all, then you can fuck off.” You manage to keep your voice even and lock your door behind you before sitting on the thin mattress sitting snug against the wall. “Hang on! I’m going to be there if you decide to meet him, and I’ll make sure he won’t hurt you.” You take in a stuttering breath and try to force yourself to not throw the phone. “He already hurt me, he’s fucking raped me! I don’t want a damn thing to do with him! If you’re a hero then do the right fucking thing and throw him in prison.” You don’t wait for him to say anything more and hang up.

‘Deep breath in, 1, 2, 3, and breathe out’ you repeated that process until you felt the rage and anxiety that bubbled up at the mention of the hero leave your body, for now at least. “You alright, kid?” You glance to your door and debate letting Dabi in, the desire for someone you can actually trust winning over and leading you to unlock the door and crack it open.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” “You’re a shit liar, you know.” He rests his weight on the door, nudging it open just a little more, and stares at you. “Want to go burn some shit?” A laugh tears it’s way out and you hum before nodding. “Fine, just let me get changed. Pick a color; pink, blue, or white.” “Go with the white beanie, shrimp. Be out in five or I’m leaving your ass behind.” You roll your eyes and shut the door again, already feeling a little better.

You rummage through the clothes Compress and Toga had gathered for you and pull out some jeans and a white-ish hoodie, and the white beanie Dabi had suggested, and quickly changed and tucked your hair into the beanie as best you could.

This was pretty much your standard outfit now: a beanie or hat to hide your hair or face, an oversized hoodie that’s comfortable and warm, and some variation of jeans or sweatpants depending on what you’re doing. It was warm and it obscured certain details that a certain someone may be looking for.

You take your time leaving the back rooms and spot Dabi by the door leading out to the street, though he wasn’t alone. That wild mop of purple hair that, through the fragments of your memories, once made your cheeks warm upon seeing it and one of the two people you’d like to never see again attached to it.

There weren’t many others around the bar—really it was just you, Kurogiri, and the two men attempting to be quiet while arguing. “Get the fuck out before I lose my temper, she doesn’t want a fucking thing to do with you or any other heroes.”

“Let him talk, then you can throw him out.” You cross your arms and lean against a nearby booth as the two turn towards you. Dabi scoffs and lets go of Shin’s shirt, going and leaning over the bar on one of the stools while keeping his eyes locked on the two of you.

“I’m not meeting him, so if that’s why you’re here then you might as well leave.” You get out before Shin can even open his mouth. “I’m here to apologize to you. For what I did and what I asked of you. I…I didn’t know what he’d done to you, and I wouldn’t even think to ask if I’d known. So please, forgive me?” He reaches for your hand but stops himself when you flinch away from his touch.

“If you want my forgiveness then you’ll make sure he can never come near me again. Now please get out.” You step around him and head over to Dabi, your back turned to Shin as you hear his steps move towards the door and pause before he’s gone.

“You know, there’s a new statue of wonder boy. Still feel like burning shit?” Dabi stands and wraps an arm around your shoulder as you turn your head to look at him. “Can we get ice cream after?” “Whatever you want kid, just don’t expect me to carry it back.”

The next four hours were spent trekking through the city and lighting random things on fire; a billboard with the retired heroes Endeavor and Hawks promoting some safety course, a closed down toy store near the outskirts of the city, and the statue of Deku that Dabi had told you about.

That one was the most satisfying to watch burn.

Now here you two were, a bag with pints of stolen ice cream swinging from your hand while Dabi walked carefree a couple paces in front of you. “Thanks for today Dabi.” “Don’t mention it, though if you want to repay me then try and get some actual sleep. Everyone can tell you aren’t sleeping right.” You were stunned and stopped walking, causing Dabi to pause and turn back to you. “Blame Kurogiri, he’s annoyed you’re always trying to sleep on his precious bar top.”

You snap out of your stupor and run past him with your head held high. “Maybe I can’t sleep because of Spinner’s snoring. Ever think of that?” You hear him snort and catch up to you. “See that’s funny because Spinner doesn’t stay at the bar anymore. You don’t have to tell me shit about why you’re not sleeping, just promise to try and sleep better.” You tense up but just hum and nod as you two continue your walk back home.

You huff and turn onto your side and a groan leaving your throat as you realize no matter which way you lay, you just can’t fall asleep.

You fumble around for the burner phone you’d gotten and squint at the brightly lit screen saying it was nearly three in the morning. “Why? Am I just cursed now?” You mumble to yourself as you sit up and stretch before throwing a hoodie over your tank top and sweatpants, deciding to go downstairs and fix yourself a drink. Kurogiri would understand if you needed a drink, and if he didn’t? Well you can just remind him that you helped break him out of his prison years ago.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Sitting in the corner booth was the very person you had been thinking of. “Hey Kuro, I’m gonna get a glass of whiskey. Can’t sleep.” He lets out a sigh but doesn’t stop you and you glance over to see him reading something. “What’re you reading?”

“Something you should take a look at, it’s over soulmates and the connection between them.” You freeze up just as you grab the bottle of whiskey and don’t notice your hand shaking until you hear the clinking of ice in your glass and practically slam the glass down.

“No thanks, I’ve had enough of soulmate bullshit.” You snarl and pour the whiskey until it threatens to overflow. “Then I guess you don’t want to erase that mark. I believe one of these chapters had a method of getting rid of a mark and the connection to their soulmate through it. Guess I’ll keep it to myself.” That stops you from going back to your room.

If you could get rid of your mark then you could really get back to normal. You’d never feel phantom touches on your hand throughout the day and into the night. You could really put the past eight months behind you, and forget the whole experience with that monster.

“Hey Kuro, mind if I borrow that book?” You tentatively ask, suddenly worried he may say no. “Go right ahead.” He gently closes it and slides it across the table towards you. “Thanks.” You whisper and take the heavy book back to your room with your whiskey.

Sing Me A Melody Ch. 9 (A BakuDeku Omegaverse Au)

Chapter 9: Always Found

“Sir, do you have the proper mated paper work?” the nurse asked Katsuki. The blonde sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“No I don't,” Katsuki replied.

“Well...without other identification I can't let you into the room with Mr. Midoriya I'm afraid. It's a protocol to protect our patients,” the nurse said, wincing when there was a slight growl from the blonde.

“Just do it man. We'll figure it out later,” Kirishima sighed.

Katsuki sighed, pulling his sunglasses off and then pulled out his wallet, setting his id down on the counter for her.

“Be discreet. He is my mate. Just check his scent. The bond is new,” Katsuki told her.

The nurse's eyes lit up at the familiar sight of the singer as well as the id in her hand.

“You're-”

“Discreet,” Katsuki snapped.

“Daddy grumpy...” Eri mumbled in Kirishima's arms.

“He sure is,” the redhead teased.

Katsuki shot a glare his way which that smile instantly fell from his face.

“Alright, here you are. This bracelet will grant you access to see him when the doctor is done stitching him up,” she said with a smile, then set a piece of paper on the counter. “Do you mind...?”

Katsuki sighed heavily, taking back his id and putting it back in his wallet. “Only if you get a bracelet for them too.”

“But-”

“You want an autograph or not?” he growled.

She flushed at that and she immediately went to work, getting the bracelets for Izuku and handed them to Kirishima so he could put them onto Eri and himself.

“Let's go,” Katsuki said, putting his sunglasses back on and looked down at the door number. “He should be there in a few minutes.”

Izuku sighed, laying in the bed as he stared up at the ceiling. He hated this. He just got a new alpha but he hadn't even been able to reutrn the mating mark.

Did Katsuki even want it?

He was thankful for the painkillers. During that procedure the doctor seemed to have taken a lot longer than he had thought.

He was just getting a few stitches in right?

Either way he was tired and just wanted to go back to the hotel with Katsuki.

He wanted to talk to him about returning the bite but also going to his place and packing his things up. He was fully committed at this point.

A soft knock on the door sounded and Izuku glanced over as a familiar head of blonde poked his head in.

“Up for some visitors?” he asked.

“Kacchan,” Izuku said with a warm smile. “Yes, of course.”

Katsuki stepped in and Kirishima and Eri came in as well. Eri stared up at him scared, tears in her eyes as she saw the large bandage on his head.

“You okay Eri bear?” Izuku asked her softly.

“Are you okay?” she asked softly, letting go of Kirishima's hand and made her way to his side at the bed.

“I'm okay,” he said to her. “Just a boo boo.”

Seeing the tears he pat the bed. She climbed on, Katsuki going to stop her but Izuku waved him away, letting the small pup curl up against him.

“There we go. Now I'll heal faster,” Izuku said, petting her head. Katsuki looked at him worried. “She's tired. It's okay.”

Tension settled around them as the two alphas sat down in the chairs near the bed. Izuku pet Eri's hair, the young pup curling in close as she got herself comfortable.

“Izuku...I'm sorry,” Kirishima finally said, breaking the silence. “This is all my fault. I shouldn't have barged in like that.”

“You shouldn't have had a key to my hotel room either,” Katsuki growled at him. Kirishima sighed, looking down at the ground.

“It's fine I guess....” Izuku mumbled, ignoring Katsuki's comment. “But why did you do that? Why did you throw me off?”

The blonde rose a brow at the redhead who let out a small sigh.

“Katsuki and I exchange extra hotel keys just in case to protect one another, that's why I had it,” Kirishima explained. “I over reacted. After what happened the last time when Katsuki had a mate I just thought the same thing would happen again. I didn't think my best friend would survive another round of hurt like that.”

The room fell in silence again and then Izuku looked to the blonde. Their eyes met and red eyes softened as he looked at him.

“Sure it has been fast but....” Katsuki said. “This is different man. I just feel something different. And...we've both been hurt. This was a way also to help the hurt.”

“Hurt..?” Kirishima sked.

Izuku looked down at Eri as she was dozing off against his side. He thread his fingers through her hair to help her relax.

“Crazy ex...I don't really want to talk about it,” Izuku said.

“Gotcha...” the redhead said and sighed. “Again I really am sorry for that. I'm surprised though with how big your bangage is...your wound didn't look that big.”

“Maybe you caused more damage than you thought?” Katsuki snarked at him which had the redhead flinching. “You owe him man.”

“I know...”

Izuku reached with his other hand and gently touched the bandages, his head feeling numb still from where they sewed him up.

“Is it really tht big?” he asked.

Katsuki stood up, going to his side and frowned.

“Something's up,” Katsuki said.

“Indeed there was,” came a voice from the doorway. The blonde turned to look at the man. He had long raven hair and looked like he hadn't slept in a week.

“Hello, I am Dr. Aizawa,” the man said, holding out his hand for them to shake. Katsuki did and then Izuku followed. “You are right to think something was up. This was more than just a bump to the head.”

Katsuki growled, glaring at the redhead.

“Relax, or I'm going to have to ask you to leave,” the man said. “This is delicate information which may cause Mr. Midoriya to get very upset.'

Izuku grew pale and the blonde rest his hand on his shoulder, petting his skin. The touch as well as his scent helped keep him relaxed.

“Did something happen doctor?” Izuku asked softly. Was he ill? Did something happen to him?

“Well when we were stitcing you up we had found something,” Aizawa said, pulling out a small bottle with somethin hard inside. “I'm not sure if you are aware of this but this was in your head.”

Izuku took the bottle with a shaking hand and he felt his blood run cold. A microchip?

“A...a microchip?” he asked, letting Katsuki take the bottle. “What?”

“With your reaction I'm sure you were not aware of this in your body. It's a tracking chip. One that mother's usually have implanted in their children when they're babies. This looks like it had been put in within the last five years or so,” Aizawa explained.

Izuku felt tears building in his eyes. “My mother never did that.”

She wasn't like that. She was protective but not at that level and he never remembered her popping up out of nowhere. But there was someone.

“That son of a-” Katsuki started.

“Language,” Aizawa said looking down at the sleeping Eri.

Izuku felt the tears leaking down his cheeks, looking up at Katsuki. “Kachaan...he....Dabi...he...”

“Shh...I got you,” Katsuki said to him softly, pulling Izuku gently into a hug as the omega trembled in his arms, red eyes going to his friend.

“See what he meant by crazy ex?” He said. Though even Katsuki didn't know the beginning of what the heck happened.

“The chip was deactivated. We can dispose of it for you if you'd like,” the doctor offered, looking to Katsuki for the answer as Izuku was sobbing against his chest.

“Yes. Please,” Katsuki said. “It'll make us feel a lot better.”

The doctor nodded his head. “I will check up on you later.”

Katsuki continued to rub Izuku's head carefully, letting out a small sigh.

“In a way if we weren't here that chip would still be in his head,” Katsuki sighed. “I'm still not happy he got hurt but this chip has been hurting him in the longest of ways.”

Izuku wiped his eyes, trying to calm down. He felt safe with Katsuki.

Izuku had drifted off with his mind buzzing around. He had always wondered how Dabi had been able to find him. Now he knew. Now he knew how he always popped up.

He could have even popped up at the hotel and never knew. Without the band's special code no one would be allowed to go up into the hotel.

He woke with a small hum, rubbing one of his eyes as he sat up a bit. His head was throbbing a little from the pain but he felt a little better.

Dabi couldn't follow him anymore. But this proved that he would be gathering his things and moving with Katsuki. Always on the go and staying with the alpha that actually cared about his well being rather than just producing pups.

He was safe now. Katsuki had stepped from the room for the moment, Kirishima had gone home as well as visiting hours were over. Izuku was to be kept over night for observation.

Eri stayed curled up against him and he pet her hair gently. He was happy that the pup liked hm. Now that he was with her father he wanted to make sure that she knew that she would be loved by him. And how could he not? She was so sweet.

He leaned down brushing some hair from her face and kissed her forehead. He would give her the lover she deserved that her mother never gave her.

“Well, well, well,” came a familiar voice causing Izuku to tense, wide eyes turning to look at the familiar figure in the doorway. “So this is where you are. Been waiting for you to move out of that hotel.”

“Touya...” Izuku said, looking around. Where was Katsuki? “What do you want. How did you even get in here?”

“Had the proper paper work my mate,” Dabi said with a smirk, showing the paper work that they had signed when they were younger. “They let me walk right in, no questons asked.”

Izuku backed up against the bed, his arms resting around Eri to protect her. He had to. He had to make sure she stayed safe in this.

“Oh...finally became a mommy huh?” Dabi teased with a sickening smirk. “But of yours it isn't yours since you're so useless. Now let's go. We're going home. I'm tired of playing this cat and mouse game. We're going to try again.”

He paused as he leaned in to Izuku, noting the bandage on his neck. He slammed his hand against the wall near his head, sniffing slowly.

“You let him mark you. You sl-”

“The hell you doing here?” came Katsuki's growl.
