Hi !!! I don’t know if the pride month requests are closed since in your bio it says they’re closed. if they are feel free to delete !!! But if you do take requests, can I request an iida x male reader, where Iida finds himself falling for the reader, but is in constant denial? Then he confides in midoriya or uraraka about his confusion and it somehow clicks in that he’s gay?? It can be headcannons, a Drabble or a one shot! Cliche, but this dude doesn’t get enough rep !!

[ I love my Iida boys. Honestly, they deserve more love. I’m currently reading My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and when Tensei Iida was introduced. I was freaking out so much, my friend had to tell me to breathe. I was simply fangirling too much. Give my Iida boys the love they deserve! <3 That being said, my boy deserves to be in a one-shot. So enjoy! I love writing for Tenya, he is such a good character! ]

“What is it about him that distracts me so? I find myself staring at him with such strange desires coursing through my head, I simply cannot conclude an answer to this odd phenomenon. I have tried to come to a sensible solution, an explanation of what this feeling is. I cannot explain myself in full detail.” he began, his eyes focused down and his hands promptly resting on his lap. He had decided to finally confront this issue, despite the fact that he was in denial. Yes, perhaps he could admit the way he was feeling could be described as love.

But how could he possibly accept such a thing? He was a hero first, above everything. He wanted to be able to soar, to be a great role model for others. More so, he wanted to be like his big brother, Tensei. The person he had looked up to all his life, the person that had told him to become Ingenium. To carry on the name with honor, Tenya truthfully did not like thinking back to how his brother handed off that title so easily. But, his brother was doing much better and slowly adjusting to his new life in a wheelchair.

He still managed to smile and laugh, which Tenya treasured, and though he felt as if he were bothering his brother with this confusing conversation revolving around you. He knew his brother would not judge him, in fact, despite looking confused. Tensei started to laugh and Tenya looked baffled. “Please do not laugh at me! I know it’s rather hard...for I have not come to you with such a problem before, but I do not find entertainment in laughing at other’s problems!” he snapped, his hands chopping through the air like wild and Tensei’s laughter came to an end.

Though there was still a smile on the man’s face as he reached up and grabbed the back of Tenya’s neck, gently guiding him down. “Ten...sometimes you’re so oblivious,” he commented before pressing his forehead against his younger brother’s. Tenya’s eyes went wide and though he wanted to pull away, he forced himself to stay still. Tensei was always open with his affection and wore his heart on his sleeve and whatever he had to say, Tenya would be most attentive to. “If you stop looking at it as a problem...and instead, follow your feelings. Maybe you’d find the answer for yourself.” Tensei chuckled as he leaned back.

“What do you mean? How is one to follow feelings?” he paused, his body trembling before he looked away. There was a faint flush across his cheeks and he cleared his throat. “I mean, ahem...not that I have such feelings. It’s simply...impossible.” Tensei rolled his eyes, though he was still wearing a smile as he rolled away from his brother. “Uh-huh, Ten...whatever you say,” Tenya growled and swirled on his feet. “You are not much help!” he called after his brother, but once more he was greeted with laughter in response.

He let out a sigh and pressed two fingers to his forehead, jabbing at it as he tried to think of how he could possibly sort out this issue himself. It was rather crazy, he had never felt this way around anyone before. At first, he believed it was simply because of your quirk, perhaps you made him feel this way. But your quirk didn’t deal with emotions, so that theory was quickly disposed of. He then thought perhaps the way he was feeling was simply admiration, he had watched you train and your combat skills were impressive.

During the Sports Festival, he had gone toe to toe with you and though somehow, he was distracted. His face was red as he found himself staring at you. The way you moved your body and the fact, you did not hold back was incredible. He had almost thought he scared you off after the match was through because he couldn’t stop himself from speaking words of praise toward you. Most would have walked away from Tenya when he started rambling on and on, but you did not. In fact, you stayed to hear what he had to say and thanked him after.

Tenya always feels his stomach twist when he thinks back to the hug you had given him after that, somehow he felt himself longing for your touch once more and he hated it. This was nothing more than a phase, an admiration, a...he couldn’t honestly think of any other way to put it. His brother was deemed no help in this situation and the battle within his own mind proved to be a waste of time. Who else could he go to and with the confidence they wouldn’t make fun of him? Given, he had thought of going to his friend’s before.

However, Midoriya and Ochako were the ones he was closest to and the ones that he trusted more than anything. Midoriya had proved time and time again that he was nothing less than a hero. Strong, honest, and only had the desire to help others. Ochako was a tad different, she was happy and gave it her all. She was always encouraging others and while she could be shy at times. She would never intentionally hurt anyone. Tenya let out a sigh, nervously tapping his chin as he continued to think. “I suppose I have no choice,” he said, tomorrow morning he’d make the choice to reveal the secret he had been holding for so long.

Despite being nervous, he knew he had to end this somehow. When morning came, Tenya had woken up early. Deciding to go about his morning routine as quickly as he could. This included taking a shower, getting a fresh pair of glasses, eating a healthy breakfast, and bidding his family goodbye. Normally he would have awoken in the dorm building, but as of late he requested a small leave so he may stay at the Iida Estate during this rather confusing problem. But it felt almost refreshing to be able to walk to U.A. High and he smiled as he entered into Class 1-A.

He looked around, his fellow classmates were sitting and chatting amongst each other. However, Tokoyami had seemed to make it a habit of sitting on the desk. Tenya couldn’t help the growl that came from his throat and raised his hand, ready to scold the fellow hero before he heard his name, “Iida?” he felt his face immediately flush and his stomach twisted, that familiar feeling of butterflies rising and it caused him to clench his jaw. Damn it. He hated this feeling so much, but he took a deep breath. It would be rude not to face you during a conversation.

“Y-Yes?” he said as he hesitantly turned around, his body completely stiff and his fingers sticking straight out at his sides. “H-How may I be of assistance to you, Y/n?” he said, and though he noticed the strange look you were giving him. He tried to ignore it, as well as the way his mouth seemed to go dry. “Uh, I was just wondering…” you began, “Do you think maybe you could help me with some homework? Everyone says you’re the smart guy, so I figured I’d ask.” you said as you rubbed the back of your head and chuckled. Yes, Iida might be strange in some aspects.

But you still looked up to him and though you didn’t know of his feelings toward you, it was no surprise not many understood Iida’s antics. But you somehow found them adorable, even if they were borderline annoying. Tenya’s face seemed to grow darker and for a moment, you wondered if you had said something wrong before his hands shot up. “O-Of course! I uh, would be very happy to assist you with your homework. Uh, perhaps at a later date, however.” he said, the words coming out of his mouth in a choppy and almost panicked manner.

Which wasn’t like him, but maybe he wasn’t feeling well. You had heard that Tenya received special permission to return home for two weeks and you missed his presence in the dorm building. Still, you nodded, “Uh, right...sounds great.” you bowed before walking over to your seat and Tenya’s eyes followed you the whole time. Much like always, his heart was accelerating as fast as his engines. He swallowed and turned to look at Ochako and Midoriya who seemed to be having a conversation of their own.

Tenya cleared his throat once more and walked over to them, Ochako immediately turned her head with a bright smile on her face. “Hi Iida!” she greeted and Midoriya nodded. “I saw you talking to Y/n, he mentioned he wanted to talk to you earlier.” the green-haired boy shared and somehow, Tenya felt his cheeks begin to flush once again. “Ah...yes, well…” he looked away a moment, a tad annoyed that his glasses seemed to be fogging up due to the warmth of his cheeks. He groaned softly and looked back to his friends who seemed confused by his strange actions.

“Are you okay Iida?” Ochako questioned and Tenya only nodded in response, his hands curling as they hung by his sides. “I...I wish to speak to you about Y/n in private, would it be acceptable to the two of you to meet me after class?” he questioned, holding his breath as Ochako and Midoriya exchanged looks. “Um, sure Iida.” Ochako said before Midoriya spoke, “Is everything alright between you and Y/n?” Tenya couldn’t help but feel nervous at that question and for a moment, he wondered if Midoriya had noticed his strange behavior around you as well.

“I...I’m not quite sure,” Tenya said quietly before turning to walk to his desk. He knew he was being rather ridiculous, but he couldn’t help himself. Time seemed to be going rather slow and Tenya couldn’t resist turning his head to look at you throughout the class, admiring the way you concentrated on your work. It almost made him proud, but he couldn’t tell you that. He was a nervous wreck by the time class ended and Ochako, Midoriya, and himself promptly left together. “So Iida, what exactly did you want to talk about involving Y/n?” Ochako questioned as she stood behind Tenya in the lunchline.

A tremble ran through him and once more his body went stiff. “I uh...would rather discuss it once we have a seating area,” he replied and Ochako blinked before looking over her shoulder at Midoriya who simply shrugged, Tenya was a hard person to read sometimes and it was best to go along with him rather than try and figure him out. However, once Tenya had gotten his food and chosen a table near the corner of the room. He looked to his friends who seemed more eager to hear what he had to say then what they had to eat.

“Well?” Ochako said, her hands folded into fists. She normally didn’t get involved with gossip but she had a hunch something was going on between Iida and yourself, Midoriya on the other hand tended to be oblivious. Tenya took a deep breath and looked down at his lap. “I...I am not quite sure how to put this…” he began, reaching up to tap his chin as he recalled the earlier conversation with his brother. Would his friends react the same way? Well, there's no way to avoid it now.

“I...I am unsure of how I feel around Y/n.” he began, “I...I get this odd warm feeling, I have shakes and overall, I feel rather nervous. My cheeks seem to flush and I…I do not know what is wrong. I have thoughts about Y/n constantly and they seem to go in the rather...romantic direction. I have tried suggesting it is merely admiration, for what else could it be? But I am afraid...as of late, these emotions. These strange occurrences I feel whenever in Y/n’s presence have only gotten worse.” Midoriya tilted his head, though he was a little confused as this was not what he had expected Iida to say.

Much like Ochako, he already seemed to know what the answer to Iida’s problem was. “Iida...are you sure you haven’t felt this way around anyone else?” Ochako questioned and Tenya jumped in his seat before turning to look at her, reaching up to push his glasses back up. “Well...of course not! I have thought it over very well, no one else had caused such a reaction in me,” he explained before Ochako threw out another question. “Not even a girl?” Tenya tilted his head, “I have never felt whatever this is around a female, no.” Ochako chuckled, it was so obvious.

“What are you chuckling at!? I demand an explanation! Tensei acted in a similar manner, so tell me!” Tenya demanded as he rose from his seat, his hand chopping through the air. Midoriya felt his own cheeks flush before reaching up to rub the back of his head. “Uh...Iida...have you thought it’s because you have a crush on Y/n?” he questioned before holding his hands up in a panic. “I mean not that there’s anything wrong with that! Uh, whoever you like is fine!” The last thing he wanted was Iida to be angry with him, luckily Ochako spoke up.

“That’s right!” she said as she nodded, “There’s nothing wrong with liking a boy or girl! Y/n is pretty handsome too! I know the girls in our class talk about him a lot too! I’m sure if you told him how you felt, he’d understand.” she suggested, however, Tenya seemed frozen. Crush? He blinked and lowered his hand before falling back into his seat. Could it be possible? He had tried to come up with a logical reason as to why he felt the way he did, but was love ever logical in any way? Could it be that...he tilted his head up. “Are you suggesting I’m...gay?” he questioned and Ochako shrugged while Midoriya decided to keep quiet.

“Does it matter if you are or not? I mean I’ve always thought you liked guys but that’s just my opinion.” she said before sighing, “Either way, you should just tell Y/n how you feel. The sooner you get it off your chest the better, come on Midoriya.” she said before grabbing the young boy’s hand and dragging him off his seat. Midoriya cried out and struggled to keep up with Ochako. “I think Iida needs some time alone,” she said, not because she disagreed with his choice in who he liked. But if Iida decided to confess to you during this time, it’d be best if they stayed out of any romantic business.

“Gay…” he repeated the word as he tapped his chin, feeling an odd sense of calm come over him. He had never thought much of girls, to begin with, and despite his brother being the one hero he admired more than anyone. He had always seemed to favor males over females and failed to see the reason why feminine heroes were always looked at as well, attractive. Why exposing the female parts of the body were so enthralling. Whenever he happened to see a shirtless man, his eyes would trace over their body but did that necessarily mean he was gay? Perhaps it didn’t matter, he swallowed down his nerves and rose from the table. “I must tell Y/n.” he decided, though this might be the hardest confession he ever had to face.
