#izuku has shy anxious energy

[izukuskacchan]

So, you know how Kirimina is one of those standard BNHA ships?

Yeah, and has anyone noticed the literal, painful parallel between Kirimina and Bakudeku?

Let's start with the obvious - their looks. Kirishima and Bakugou both have spiky hair - and their personalities match their hairstyles, really. They're both, as Kiri would say, "manly" - they're both bold yet somehow calm. Yes, Bakugou is calm when he's alone, therefore, that's his true self. They make a good fighting and friendship duo because they are very similar to each other. Bakugou just comes as more explosive and assertive, even though he's, unlike Kirishima, canonly an introvert. If you look deeply at it, they're both somehow anxious - Kirishima because of his past self who wasn't brave enough to save anyone, Bakugou because of his past bully self and the fear or not being good enough which also haunts Kirishima.

Now, every spiky-haired dork needs his messy curled partner, right? For Kirishima, that's Mina - overloaded with energy. For Bakugou, that's Midoriya - who's also full of energy but much more shy. He's insecure because of his past trauma and I think that's the only reason he isn't as assertive as Mina.

Mina and Eijirou were also childhood friends, even if they didn't have as much interaction as Izuku and Katsuki. Their looks are another parallel. They also became closer in high school. Kirimina are both extroverts, while Bakudeku are both introverts - which basically makes them Kirimina but not as loud and social.

I strongly believe that Izuku and Katsuki free of their traumas would act very similar to Mina and Eijirou, and of course, if Mitsuki wasn't as harsh as she is (because she influenced Katsuki and his behaviour the most).

kiss already.

Midoriya Izuku - Green for Hope, Red for Burning Passion

I always asked myself why exactly Horikoshi has changed Midoriya's character design so drastically.

Indeed, we go from a character called Yamikumo who looks like a feral child with the bad habit of eating his nails off, and drinks more coffee than humanly possible to an anxious bunny who smiles awkwardly and does not know how to accept compliments.

To me, the difference is absolutely insane. Izuku's hair and eyes are uniform and reflect his character and surname. However, a thing that I find peculiar is how the dark (Black/Green) and the Red theme are a constant throughout particular tellings of his character.

The legendary red shoes are one of Deku's main features. It's part of his character. However, I just got to think why exactly (especially having an idea on why was green used for him) and I think that the answer might be very very banal. However, I do think that this is not the only reason.

First of all, there is the most simple reason which I could think of: Midoriya Izuku is described as plain. In my opinion, plain does not really define Midoriya but the concept of him being bland and capable of melting into background is fundamental to express him in the most little details (however, there are few things which inwardly contradict this description: first and foremost his freckles). But as it might be, and Midoriya is indeed considered not worthy look at for more than once (at least as described in the manga - which is also one of the reason why his design has been changed so much, as Yamikumo had literally zero chance to go unnoticed), it appears clear how this suppression of character, of wanting to relegate Mido to a background role is what instead pushes Izuku forward to make a bold choice of something like wearing red shoes. They are strikingly particular, and noticeable: which means that Midoriya is not happy about being an npc, but instead wants to be noticed and in some way stand out.

The second reason, which I mulled over if was relevant enough is All Might. A recurrent color in all All Might's costumes is Red (and Blue, which kind of reminds of Superman and the American Flag. A fact that I found interesting as well if how AM wears Blue, Yellow and Red while Midoriya wears Green and Red, and of course Blue and Yellow together form Green).

And finally the third and final reason (at least, for now) is that Red, as a colour reminds Deku of Kacchan (even if arguably, we see in the first panel of the manga how Izuku wore already his shoes so this might be false and instead it might refer to the fact that Red is Izuku’s favourite colour only), who we know he associates with victory. As the mental image of Kacchan, who was red eyes, is his substitute for him being able to stand proud, strong and capable to win, Izuku might want to express this strive to be strong.

But what do these two colours mean, stand alone ?

As for Green: this colour, in different cultures, is associated with "Hope" . I think here the main gist and general going is that Midoriya represents Hope for the Heroes, Hope for the Unwanted, the Broken and the Damned (the Villains). I talked about Izuku being a Symbol of the New Society here, but in short, with Izuku Midoriya being fundamentally associated to the colour green, I think Horikoshi wants to express two things: how Izuku never loses hope (to be a hero, to have a quirk, to be a friend to Katsuki who bullied him for years or Shouto who straight up challenged him even before getting to know him, to reach and to save everyone) and how he represents and spreads hope for others (Eri, Kouta, the same Todoroki and Katsuki).

Green indicates life, renewal, harmony and safety. Which, in this sense, points out Izuku's nature as a person and how he is bound to feel restless unless he provides comfort to everyone, and that desire to save desperately anyone who he can reach. Green is a calming and soothing colour. It also stands for prosperity, freshness and progress - which point out not only the conclusion of Deku being N1 Hero, but as well at him 'changing up' the society and becoming the Symbol of Hope and Change (on which I briefly touched upon here).

However, on a negative side it also stands for Greed (wanting to be a hero and follow AM steps even when he had a hard time adapting his body to his new quirk) and Envy (Bakugō first and foremost and the generally heroes and those who has time to wield their power properly). In this negative meaning of the colour, I think Izuku’s selfless nature comes to the surface even more: how he feels bound to feel negative emotions which spur his renewal and development (after all, he did unlock Black Whip after Monoma had insulted Bakugou), but at the same time use this emotion toward a bigger goal (him being mad at Shigaraki, but at the same time wanting to save him - I wrote about this too here).

Green, is, finally, the colour of the Heart chakra: an expression of how Midoriya puts everything before him, because his heart cannot take the selfishness of thinking of himself first, which also come hand in hand with his sacrificing nature and reminds of his name meaning and the association made with the number 9. Indeed, “Opening the Heart chakra allows a person to love more, empathise, and feel compassion” - which in short, stands for an externalisation of Mido’s personality.

On a shorter note, in Japan, the colour green represents youth, eternity, vitality and energy - which, in its own way is both a confirmation and a denial to other references made in Izuku’s character, such as his dangerous nature, him not being concentrated to live on for more than he is allowed to fulfil his duty (him being tied to number 9 and so on), and at the same time it reminds us of OfA, as it gains more power and energy and at his cheery, youthful persona.

As for Red, as the colour of Blood, it also stands to indicate '' Danger, Sacrifice, Courage" (which reconnects to his name's theory and numerology, of which I talked about here, in short).

In addition, red is usually used to professionally gain attention (it's hard to miss something so bright) and convey confidence. We know for a fact that Deku has been wearing red shoes since he was a kid (or at least, since he met Bakugō, which coincides with Izuku being four) and that despite being Quirkless, he always showed courage in standing out to people even when they thought of him as 'inferior' because on his unusual condition.

Among other negative meaning, there is an overflow of temper, anger, agitation, and overbearing, demanding and oppressive behaviours. As clear as day, these characteristics relate more to fiery Katsuki than Deku, but as stated before, Deku puts Katsuki as model and adapts his combat style to resemble Katsuki’s. So, this overflow of energy and action is a double-edged sword which affects both Katsuki and Izuku in different ways (and is mellowed out in Izuku’s character by his other soothing characteristics , but more on that later).

Also, Red, in Asia is a lucky colour which might (or not) hint at how, despite everything Izuku got his 'lucky' chance to inherit AM's power and follow his dream of becoming a hero. Particularly, in Japan this colour is associated and denotes strength, passion, self-sacrifice. A transmission of feeling as complex and empowering as the ones Deku fills while he is living his everyday life as a future hero, summed to his nature and inherited quirk.

Red is also a magical and religious color. It symbolized super-human heroism to the Greeks and is the color of the Christian crucifixion, which might be as meaningless as other things, but in this case it might greatly relate to the type of enormous power Izuku tries to reign in, and to the self sacrificing spirit which he proves again and again.

So far, the meanings of the colours which have been associated with Deku are in line with his name, his personality and even the storyline which has been drawed out.

Among other meanings red represents power, courage, energy, passion, and creates physical effects such as enhanced metabolism, enthusiasm, higher level of energy (which comes back to the initial reasons on why Deku chooses Red as a distinct colour for himself and his shoes).

The color red is linked to the most primitive physical, emotional, and financial needs of survival and self-preservation.

Finally is also the colour of leadership, determination and courage. So in short, the colours red, where it indicates energy, action and strong emotion-filled desires and aspirations, is also weak to overbearing aspects which transform empowerment into negative traits (which is what, in the end, is represented by Bakugou). It is also strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power (the shoes in Deku’s case). 

Red is the colour of the First (or Spine) Chakra and usually allows a person to be grounded and connect to universal energies, while Green is the link between spiritual and material.

What do these two colours mean in association with each other?

Onto how these two colours are related to each other, especially considering the premises made, we see that Red (life-giving properties, trust, belonging and violence) and Green (health, eternity, youth and greed) are not only opposites, but they complete and balance each other out. Indeed, to reign over emotions and actions, to red is usually added green which indeed is a pain-relieving patch for red’s intensity (the theory of Bakugou and Deku being two sides of the same coin are thriving).

Midoriya Izuku is an intense person. His personality allows him to balance out his power with a selfless nature, and while he himself is sweet and caring, his fiery eyes (and shoes) express for him his utmost sincere feelings, which deep down are very telling. As mentioned before, Izuku responds to Monoma when he insults Bakugou and makes a jab at how actually Bakugou is the one who ultimately terminated AM, by unlocking a new dangerous and powerful quirk, which is so powerful and fiery, and red in his intensity, that they need Shinsou’s intervention to actually calm him down.

Izuku is a overly protective person: he has forgiveness as a foremost characteristic and even if he does mention how he will not forgive Shigaraki for what he has done, on second though he realises that even a ‘monster’ like Shigaraki deserves to be saved, and therefore his other nature takes over.

Therefore, the coexistence of these factors, and his personality are probably at the origin of why Midoriya has had such a drastic make-over before becoming Midoriya Izuku, and why the colours of Red and Green are fundamental in the description which lets us have a full picture of Midoriya as an individual: something who is full of hope and energy, striving to express whisk power and passion while trying to concern only himself with the danger that comes with his mission to save everyone.

First patrol (Hawks x reader)

So I got a little carried away writing the beginning of this one, but I just REALLY love Mirko. I wasn’t sure what to use as the reader’s quirk so I just did the ability to create telekinetic force fields with energy in different shapes and shit. Also, (h/n) will mean your hero name. Once I finished I writing this I decided it was a little long so I split it into two parts. I guess this first part can be considered a various x reader lol. I’ll post part 2 soon! I’m having a lot of fun with these so please don’t be shy to send requests or asks! Thanks :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“THAT’S NOT FUCKING FAIR” Bakugou screeched in the common room.

“I literally don’t know what you want me to say.” You stared blankly at Bakugou as he was practically foaming at the month. His hands began to emit smoke.

“Kacchan, calm down! (Y/n), I’m happy you got such a great opportunity!” Izuku tries to congratulate you while holding a death grip on Bakugou’s arm. “You and Mirko will make a great duo!”. You smiled at his reassurance and braced yourself for his detailed mutterings about the specifics of both your and your future mentor’s quirks.

“Thank you. I’m excited but nervous.” You shifted in your seat while your hands were in tight fists. “I’m excited to prove myself.”

“I’ve met Mirko before. She’ll enjoy working with you, I’m sure of it.” Todoroki spoke for the first time all evening from the dinner table as he slurped cold soba. You honestly had forgotten he was there.

“Oh yeah! Your father and Mirko team up sometimes, right?” Izuku mentioned as he turned on the couch to face Todoroki.

“Yes.” Todoroki took a slurp of soba before continuing. “If you run into him, be wary. He’s more concerned about his reputation than a rookie looking for guidance or protection. That’s why Hawks does his own thing most of the time. My dad can’t be bothered with anyone else.”

“I’m sure (y/n) will be in good hands with Mirko.” Izuku tried to ease the tension in the room. As Todoroki is a man of few words, it’s rare for him to share things like this. You decided you should head to bed to prepare for your long day tomorrow.

“Alright guys. Thanks for chatting with me. I’m off to bed.” After replies of good nights and wishes of luck, you tried sleep off the anxiety until tomorrow.

_____________________________________________________________

“Ready to rumble, (y/n)?!” Mirko enthusiastically greeted you when you entered her office.

“Yes Ma’am! Thank you for letting me join you today!” You bowed to Mirko and straightened up as you heard her walking toward you.

“No need to be so formal!” Mirko gave you a big slap on the back as she passed you. With your back aching and stinging, you closely followed her to the elevator. “I don’t take just anyone out to patrol with me, (Y/n). You got something special, kid.” She gave you a large smile as the elevator door closed. You were thrilled to finally start your internship, with your idol none the less.

“Thank you, Rumi. It means a lot coming from you.” You tried to calm the reddening of your face as you two descend to the lobby of her agency.

“Don’t sweat it! And remember that on the street I’m Mirko. Right, (h/n)?” Mirko smiled at you as the elevator rang.

_____________________________________________________

After a few hours of patrol you and Mirko still hadn’t had any calls or serious confrontations. Although popperazzi and other media outlets seemed to follow you both everywhere, they were only taking pictures from a distance as not to interfere. “Sorry that this is such a quiet day. I wanted to see you in action!” Mirko began chatting with you and you two walked.

“No, it’s alright. Something is bound to come up anyway, right?” You smiled and continued to survey your surroundings. A teenage boy ran up.

“You’re Mirko, right?” His face was a deep red.

“The one and only! Want a picture or something?” Mirko smiled at the boy. His head whipped around before his eyes frantically landed on you.

“Hi. Can you take our picture, please?” You held up the fan’s phone to take a picture with Mirko.

“1,2,3, smile!” You continued taking a few pictures until Mirko put her hand up to her ear intercom. You handed the phone back to the guy and awaited news. Mirko nodded at you after coming off the intercom.

“Let’s go. No time to waste.” Mirko turned serious as she dashed off to the lower part of town. You used your quirk to manifest a board to ride on in order to keep up.

As unfamiliar buildings flew past, you couldn’t recall seeing the surrounding landmarks on the sheet of information Mirko gave you about your sector.

“Mirko, are we close?” You grew anxious and unsure as you approached the scene.

“Yeah,” Mirko grinned as she gained momentum by swinging off a lamppost. “Stay sharp. This is uncharted territory for you.” You nodded and picked up speed, feeling the wind press against you.

Finally, you saw the scene you were summoned to. A monstrous villain was holding a car with a family trapped inside above his head. You didn’t recognize the villain, he was most likely an angry civilian that snapped. The villain was towering about thirty feet above you. He was angrily screaming, the veins on his neck and arms were bulging and strained. It was obvious this guy never used his quirk like this before.

“You think he used an enhancer?” You kept your eyes glued to the car the villain gripped.

“Probably.” Mirko’s smirk wavered and her brows furrowed. “Bunch of bastards have been juicing up and wrecking shit recently.” The villain began to shake the car and screech in anger.

“I’ll get the car, you get the guy?” You asked Mirko as your eyes focused in on the car and you activated your quirk.

“Read my mind. Just give me a boost.” Mirko smirked and slid a foot back in preparation to jump. “Let’s go.” Mirko lept sideways causing the villain to whip his head in her direction. You raised your left hand and manifested a platform under the car. Your right arm shot out as you made a small platform about seven feet in the air for Mirko to vault off of. Your eyes remained on the car as you heard Mirko’s feet pound on the platform and you saw a swift white streak knock the villain from under the vehicle. While Mirko repeatedly kicked the villain into submission, you lowered the car with the clamoring family to the ground. You ran to the car and escorted each member to the side where a small crown was gathered. You turned to see Mirko with the villain in a suffocating leg triangle. The villain’s screeching quieted and his body began to lose muscle and shrink.

“Mirko, should we take him in for questioning?” You pulled handcuffs out of your pocket and placed them into Mirko’s outstretched hand.

A gust of wind passed behind you making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You also felt an intense warmth behind you. “We can take him off your hands. You’re in our jurisdiction after all.” You spun around to see Endeavor and Hawks. Your hands clenched and your chest tightened at the sight of the two top heroes.

“Number 1 and 2, always a pleasure.” Mirko hauled the villain to his feet. “So what if we’re in your jurisdiction? You guys didn’t get here fast enough. That’s why we were called.” Mirko smirked.

“Mirko,” Endeavor began to speak. ” we were being briefed on an important future mission. Our delay was expected so they called you and uhh.. Shouto’s classmate.”

“’Shouto’s classmate’ is not the name of my intern, Endeavor.” Mirko put a hand on her hip and raised a brow at the number one hero. Her ears perked up at the arrival of an idea. “How about this: we walk this jerk to the precinct and do introductions over some lunch?”.

“As long as the place has chicken.” Hawks smiled at Mirko. You wanted to admire his handsome features, but decided against it out of fear of embarrassment if he caught you. “Endeavor treats since he was the reason we’re late!”. Endeavor crossed his arms and sighed. He then began walking in the direction of the precinct. Mirko and Hawks shared a laugh and Mirko began hauling the villain behind Endeavor. You paused before following. Your eyes were still trained on Endeavor. You wondered if he would have cooperated at all if you fought with him instead of Mirko. Hell, he didn’t even bother to learn your name after being friends with Shouto for the past year.

“So what’s your deal, kid?”. Hawks was suddenly walking by your side. You tensed at his sudden presence and looked ahead towards Mirko.

“My deal?” You glanced at him to see if his eyes were still on you, eyes briefly meeting before your head turned.

“Yeah. Does Endeavor spook you or something?”

“No.” You could feel your face getting warm. “He’s just intimidating, I guess. And hearing what Shouto has to say about him doesn’t really help.” You didn’t like being questioned like this.

“I get that. He’s a shitty dad.” Hawks stretched as you two walked. “He’s also a pretty difficult guy to get to know. He’s starting to change for the better though. But his social skills are still shit.” Hawks looked over at you to make sure his remark made you smile. He knew if he kept talking you’d loosen up and get more comfortable. “How’s your first patrol going?”

You glanced at him and smiled. “I can’t complain about lunch with the top two heroes.” Hawks laughed.

“Yeah, I guess. I’d say you’re doing pretty well for your first time. Mirko doesn’t team up with just anyone, you know.” Your face got even warmer as you became flustered once again.

“I’m mainly only good for defense and rescue.” You looked away from Hawks and started to fidget with your hands.

“Don’t be modest, kid. I saw you rescue that family back there.” Your face was own fire upon hearing his praise. “Also saw you kick ass at the sports festival. If it were up to me, I’d have you do more offense training.”

“T-thanks.” You said shyly as you scanned around you for something to look at to distract you from your own embarrassment. Things remained pretty quiet as you continued to walk to the precinct.

[loser-writings]

Dating them in secret

Denki Kaminari

It originally started because neither of you were able to get dates for the school dance. Since you both got busy through the day, you decided to just sneak in each others dorms to make plans. It ended up with the both of you realizing how much fun the thrill of sneaking under everyones’ noses.

He didn’t realize how much he adored you til you both were swaying from side to side during a slow dance. He watched as you looked down at your feet, making sure not to step on him. He found himself grinning a little when you stumbled, his grip on your hip tightening as he pulled you closer, before he continued to sway.

You had felt uncomfortable being openly affectionate with him and revealing your relationship, so Denki asked if it would be okay to take you on dates without revealing everything. He was happy when you said yes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

When you were in class, Denki wouldn’t do anything that could lead others to finding out about your secret relationship. He might lean on you or grab your hand, but it wasn’t that noteworthy since he did the same to everyone else.

Dates often happened at night when you slipped into his room to watch movies together or simple study dates since he struggled with tests. He would pull you into his arms or in his lap while you explained how you found the answer. Most of the time he would be listening, but he does find himself zoning off while playing with your fingertips.

Dates that weren’t at the dorms ended up with you going to watch the latest “Bad” movie (Like you both watched the Emoji movie and Cats just to see people question your sanity) or going out with Bakusquad. He knew that none of them would make a move or question why he clung to you with the exception of Bakugo making a snarky comment when you fall behind

If he started to get worked up about a test, you’d simply hug him and play with his hair until he relaxes. He loves when you play with it and it never fails to calm him down. He reveals that its because his parents would run their fingers through their hair when he was a kid to help him sleep.

You were both very aware of your classmates shipping you and suggesting you should go on a date with him, but neither of you reveal your secret. Sneaking under everybody's noses brought a thrill that you weren't willing to give up yet.

Eijiro Kirishima

Kirishima may not be the best at keeping secrets, but you both had decided to date in private because of the drama happening with the League of Villains. He was just paranoid that they would find out about your relationship and would try to use you to get to him. So many people, including yourself, were afraid of their growing power. So you agreed to keeping the relationship private

He wasn’t a big fan of staying in on your days off, so he would often get you outside and take you on “Friend” dates. Going to the park or garden, finding some new cafes to try, and going on picnics were his favorite things to do.

Expect many random gifts from him to just appear in your room. Things like flowers, new clothes or hoodies, or video games that just “Made me think of you.” He never expects anything in return and is truly touched every time he gets something from you.

Will often play random video games with you. Since they’re all online, he gets you a nice headset and sets everything up so you can play with him. Building large structures in Minecraft to killing zombies in call of duty. Your video game dates sometimes get invaded by the Bakusquad, but they always make you happy.

He sometimes sneaks into your bedroom for late at night snuggles since holding you always calms him down. He loves when you rake your hands through his hair or when you hold his hands. His favorite part of it is when you mumble small things you love about him.

Enji Todoroki

Dating in secret wouldn’t be that hard with Enji due to his extreme protectiveness and connections that keep you out of the media and spotlight. Out of everybody, he the one who has the strongest connections and abilities to keep you away.

Dates between the two of you are always at his house or at yours. He will rather pick you up or meet you at your place so you don’t have to be “In danger.” Things like cooking dinner together or going out in his garden were the normal dates. Occasionally he may let you in public with him, but it’s extremely rare for that to happen.

Getting used to him having to randomly leave in the middle of the night because someone or something fucked up. He is the number one hero now, so that means really odd hours. Sadly. crime doesn’t sleep even if you need to.

May be rough around the edges but he kind of tries this time? Yeah, he actually has feelings for you and never raised a hand to you, but he is quite controlling.

His kids don’t know you and Enji wants to keep it that way. He’s not a big fan of having you meet them because He is a bit worried that they will be upset at him for moving on from Rei. Not only that, he was afraid that they would abandon him after finding out about his second life.

May not be the most vocal about his affections, but he definitely will express his gratefulness for you with little things. Small gifts left for you, an occasional meal cooked for you, and god someone stop him from buying you clothes. He loves spoiling you.

He never really comes out about his relationship with you, but people do notice the ring that had suddenly appeared on his finger after he decided to get married to you.

Hizashi Yamada

This man is the exact opposite of private. He loves to be open about everything and he would flaunt you like none other. If he could, that is.

You both had actually agreed to stay a secret for a variety of reasons, the main one being that he was not only a pro-hero, but he was famous too. Being famous comes with the fair share of crazy fans, and he didn’t want to put you in harms way. You suggested staying a secret and he agreed.

Dates are surprisingly mellow since Mic isn’t as loud as usual when he’s in private. He likes to relax and cuddle, watching a movie or working with you to make new playlists for his radio show.

Don’t expect him to cook. Seriously, He is good at many things and has quite a few talents, but cooking is not one of them. No matter how many Gordon Ramsay shows he watches, he will never be able to cook. He will still try though, even if it ends up with food that's so burnt, you aren’t that sure what it was in the first place.

When he’s working late at the station, he will text you in between songs, even dedicating a couple to you. He always ends the night by playing your favorite song to let you know that he will be heading home soon.

His favorite thing is when you play with his hair. He will be complete putty in your hands if you brush his hair while he’s working or if you braid it. Another thing that makes him relax is when you massage his shoulders. He’s actually kind of anxious at times, so baby him to help him relax.

He hardly ever sleeps. He has so much energy that he constantly is doing something. Between his 3 jobs, he always has something to do. Grading papers til 10 pm, then working on the script for the mornings show til 1am, then doing a little research about new villains. You have to drag him to bed most nights and lay on top of him to make sure he doesn't leave the second the sun begins to rise.

Izuku Midoriya

Izuku doesn’t mind being in a private relationship with you in the slightest. In public, many just believe there is some mutual crushing going on, but many don’t think you’re actually dating.

Toshinori would know, but that's after you agreed to let Izuku tell him. Secrets were something Izuku didn’t want to have when it came to you, All Might, and his mother. You thought that was only fair.

His mom would ask that you keep Izukus’ bedroom door open. Even though she trusts you and Izuku, she is still a mother who has to keep her baby safe.

Your dates at the dorms were usually study dates or workout dates since they were the easiest to get away with. You did manage to sneak in his room a few times for late night cuddle sessions.

Izuku is shy when it comes to your relationship but it doesn’t stop him from doing things like leaning on you in public or holding your hand. He is a little affectionate and he always has enjoyed a little skinship with you, even before you both got together.

He pays attention to you. He has every order of yours written down so he can randomly buy you your favorite foods. He remembers the hoodie of his that you like the most. He will get tickets for the new movie you said you were interested in. He will spoil you.

Katsuki Bakugo

You were surprised when Katsuki told you that he wanted to keep your relationship a secret, but it made more sense after he explained his fear of the League of Villains getting to you. He was captured by them, so why wouldn’t they go to you to get to him?

Dates actually happened quite often with Katsuki. He would often sneak into your room before curfew to eat dinner with you and would lay on top of you to cuddle after. He was quite clingy and would find himself letting his guard down with you.

Deep conversations would randomly happen as you played with his blond hair, the smell of sugar or caramel filling the room the longer the boy would stay. He would open up about his frustrations about Deku as well as his fear about the League of Villains. He hated that they targeted him and genuinely believed that he would turn on 1A. He grew insecure and afraid that he would become a villain, but you just had to reassure him that wouldn’t be the case.

He always left a hoodie for you to wear since you seemed to enjoy the smell, but no one ever dared to mention it when he was around. You did explain to most that it was just a friend thing and that you liked how warm they seemed to be.

You did go to his parents’ house with him one day and she seemed to instantly enjoy you. She was glad somebody managed to “Tame” her chaotic son. Bakugo was a blushing mess, but he was really glad deep down that you got his parents approval.

You’ve learned to put up with Katsukis glares and harsh attitude at times. You know that he didn’t mean it half of the time. You could see it. Even if his tone was the same, he had a different look in his eyes when he was with you. It could even be considered soft and loving.

Tenya Iida

It was mutually agreed upon to keep your relationship a secret. Tenya openly admitted that he was going to focus mainly on his studies and being a hero, but he also encouraged you to do the same. Your feelings for each other were recognized by each other, but were not your priority. Hell, Iida said that if you were willing to be patient with him, he would take you on a proper date.

Your dates consisted of studying together and doing little tasks together. You would do things like cook dinner together or go out to get groceries. You never really had a proper date with the exception of the one time he asked you out to lunch at the new cafe that had just opened.

Your grades managed to stay extremely high due to the standards Iida kept you to, but he also understood that you needed a break. Even though affection was something he struggled with, he would have you lean on him for little breaks. He would hold your hand, kiss your head, and he managed to even let you on his lap.

If you fall asleep in his arms while studying, he will carry you to your bedroom and rest you on your bed, giving you a kiss on the head before leaving your room. He might even leave a blanket over you or leave his jacket on you.

As time goes on, even though he’s focusing on school, He does manage to find some time to give you gifts and hang out with you. Your favorite gift of them all? A promise ring that you wear around your neck. He has one too and he promises that after he becomes a hero, he will marry you.

By the time you both graduate from UA, people are surprised by how well you’ve hidden your relationship, yet are extremely happy for you both.

Shota Aizawa

You had known Shota for years and were there for him since he graduated UA. He never revealed how he felt though. He had started liking you after you offered to have him move in with you. He agreed for the financial side of it, but he didn’t realize how easy the both of you slipped into a more domestic lifestyle.

For a good couple of years, neither of you really labeled your relationship. Sure, Kisses happened as did cuddles. Maybe things got heated a few times, but you didn’t think it was anything more than that.

He never directly said his feelings for you til he ended up leaving some papers at your house. You decided to bring them to UA for him and were surprised when you ran into Hizashi. As you both talked and caught up, You felt an arm wrap around you. Aizawa hummed and looked at the papers before thanking you and pecking your cheek. You just smiled at the raven haired man before Hizashi asked why his papers were at your house.

“We live together and they’re my significant other. Don’t tell anybody else though or else I will destroy your speaker.” He threatened and Hizashi just nodded, not really that phased by his friends stern tone.

Dates were always simple. Simple shopping dates, dinner together, movie nights, and calls when he was away. He had a difficult time sleeping if you weren’t there to help him, so he always ended up falling asleep on a call with you.

Gifts were another thing he loved to do. Promise rings that were connected to chains that hung around your necks, sweaters that matched for Christmas, and random flowers delivered to your job, they were all little things that managed to make your love for him grow.

[petri808]

Written for the @bnhanipponzine​ Izuocha NSFW fic we’re allowed to share now.

Forbidden romance...

Their signals are as fleeting as a summer's breeze and no more inconspicuous than a proper greeting. The slow blink of an eye in passing… Tonight, the message conveys, she’ll be alone tonight. The young lovers are ensnared in a forbidden romance from which neither could bring themselves to leave out of love for one another. Such is their world, unfortunately, even now in the twenty-third year of the progressive Meiji era. Both are born into the Yakuza life and forced to follow its rules and traditions. But those human edicts could not control their hearts.

Late that evening, at the soft sliding sound of the shoji door opening and closing, the corners of Uraraka’s lips turn upward. She dares not look up just yet for fear it was the wrong person entering her room. But, soon enough the secret Sakura scent used by her and her lover flows into her personal space.

“Izuku…” she whispers without turning around, safe in the knowledge he’s come.

“Ochako.”

Even the iinazuke didn’t use her first name yet; but coming from the lips of her lover, it’s smooth tone sends shivers rippling along her spine. Midoriya’s voice is soft while her betrotheds is gruff and grating to her gentle sensibilities. She hears the sounds of fabric rustling, his clothing being shed, then the light clatter of his saya against the tatami mats.

All the fine hairs tingle along her skin, almost reaching out to the man’s energy the closer he gets. She feels his body heat through the thick silk of her kimono, even as her own flushes in response. He doesn’t need to touch her to cause such a reaction. Just his proximity is enough to ignite her loins.

She’d already removed the obi before he arrived, allowing the silken fabric to open in front. He slowly slips the kimono off her body, allowing it to pool around her hips for the time being. Next, he unravels the datejime sash and places it to the side. All that is left between them is the white nagajuban undercoat. But Midoriya is in no rush. These shared moments are few and far between, so he needs to take full advantage to satisfy them both properly.

He noses his way over the nape of her neck, peppering feathered, drawn out kisses along the skin from one side to the other. Uraraka sighs with each tender touch that leaves torrid trails in its wake, and her head moves accordingly, giving the man full access to anywhere his kisses wish to travel. His hand snakes up from her shoulder, and fingers grip her chin, angling it upwards. Forceful, yet with a gentle control she is happy to acquiesce to. If only she can give herself fully to him forever.

As his lips tease around the base of her neck and face, Midoriya slips his other hand under the fold of the undercoat until it reaches bare skin. She gasps, biting down on her lip to stifle a louder groan when she feels his hand mold around her breast and roll the pert nipple it finds between his fingers. Uraraka dares not to make a sound louder than a whisper for fear of them being caught in this tryst. But oh, what she wouldn’t give to call out his name! To show just how much she loved this man who her father feels isn’t good enough for her.

Midoriya is careful not to place pressured kisses regardless if the area is hidden beneath layers of fabric at any given time. As the daughter of the Oyabun leader, Uraraka has attendants that see to all of her needs, including bathing, and they have no idea who they can trust to keep this kind of a secret. Most would turn them in for fear of punishment, and besides, he doesn’t want to jeopardize his father’s standing as the Saiko-Komon. That position as the head advisor to the Oyabun provides a comfortable life for their family.

He slips the coat down her arms, then moves the pile of fabric, tossing it to the side. With her skin bared, he presses his chest against her back and circles his arms around her torso. His hands caress and sooth her voluptuous breasts, so flushed and sensitive to every movement he makes, massaging the mounds and teasing the nipples. Her sighs and breathy mewls burn holes in his psyche, hypnotizing and courting his lips to continue trailing along her skin from shoulder to shoulder.

“Face me,” Midoriya whispers behind her ear as his tongue gingerly runs along its shell. Uraraka shudders when he nibbles the lobe.

She turns around on her shins; her eyes swept downward in embarrassment. This is not their first time and she loves these trysts; it is but a testament to her shy disposition. Her cheeks burn bright, and her hands stay poised in her lap. Midoriya chuckles, smiles; it is this very innocence that had stolen his heart. He lifts her chin, sweeping in to covet her full pink lips as he guides her onto her back. Uraraka would never know by his decisive actions that he is just as anxious as she is.  

“I got a hold of that spermicide we bring in for the courtesans.” It is a new German product recently put on the market, and thanks to their contacts, are able to sneak it into the country. “It’s a suppository you place inside.”

“Do you think it really works?”

“It has been so far, but I could use the turtle skin sheath instead if that would make you feel more comfortable.” He’d already prepared the clove oil just in case.

Uraraka squirms a bit in debate, then nods. An unexpected pregnancy could mean certain death for them both over this forbidden affair.  

He reaches over and pulls out a small purse from his haori. This was the surest method and least cumbersome, aside from abstaining. As he fixes the protective skin over his erection and lubricates it, Midoriya can see Uraraka gazing at him over her breasts. He blushes lightly, still unused to such a coital stare and refocuses on his task.

Realizing he’d noticed her watching him, she averts her eyes as well. A mixture of embarrassment and excitement causes a wave of heat to flood over her. Her hands unconsciously snakes over her chest, covering them as if to hide the feelings of abashment. The man she loves is well endowed, and she still remembers thinking during their first time, how would it fit? Her blush deepens at the memory. Of how gentle he had been with her and she could only pray the iinazuke would be the same.

All prepared now, Midoriya lies down on top of Uraraka with his legs resting between her thighs. Just the pressure of his dick against her sensitive core triggers more shivers along her frame, but he isn’t there yet. He sweeps his lips over hers, then covets them in full, molding them together in languid motions. Their kisses grow like a dance, ebbing and flowing in coordinated steps.

She gasps lightly as he sucks down and teases her bottom lip, but it’s quickly swallowed up and tamed by his tongue pushing its way into her mouth. Without the ability to make a sound, her body responds with a language of its own. It molds against his in its bid to chase the heat it is exuding, communicating her desire for closeness. He pushes forward with his tongue, she pushes back, their mouths a heated battleground fighting for dominance. Uraraka is the daughter of power after all, and he made her feel more alive than she has ever felt in her life.

Leaving the supple flesh of her mouth, Midoriya moves on—lower, his kisses blazing a trail as if hiking Mount Fuji. His hands massage and squeeze at her breasts, helping to control and keep them where he wants them to be. From one to the other, he suckles at the tender skin and pressures his tongue over the nipples. He pulls them in through his lips, nipping them, teasing them harshly. Uraraka bites down on her palm to stifle her moans. The rougher treatment felt so wonderful! It is one of the only spots that wouldn’t show any bruising and she appreciates his care.

Much of her skin is now covered with tattoos just like any other Yakuza member. Some designs by choice, and some forced upon her. Her back, shoulders, part of her arms and thighs are already sleeved. But her chest is devoid of ink until you reach the torso area, where spreads the one tattoo she hated despite its beautiful design. Twin dragons hugged opposite sides of her hips and wrapped from back to front; one a deep auburn red and the other a golden yellow, protecting a Shiroibara in full bloom that encompassed the area just below her navel. She is the white rose, and the dragons represent her family and her betrothed’s arrangement. But she matches none of the flower’s symbolism, not anymore since starting this tryst with Midoriya.

It brings a sense of shame and guilt every time she looks at herself in a mirror, yet not enough to make her stop engaging in the affair. Her heart wouldn’t allow her to give up the one man she’s loved since they were children. And once she found out he’d felt the same all along, they chose to risk it all. She has plans to work in a Kuroyuri bloom with green pistils over her heart once she could get her chest piece completed. A hidden symbol of their devotion.  

He knows how much she despises the tattoo. Through the light whines and shortening of her breathing. How her body flinches the closer his lips make their way to the area. He doesn’t like it either, for it is a reminder she’ll never be his. That he would spend the rest of his life standing at the side of her husband—his best friend of all people—while coveting the man’s wife. But he also knows the hothead didn’t love her like he did, and he is determined to make sure at least one of them took care of her heart.

“I’ve told you,” his voice hushed between the kisses he places upon the flower image, “ignore the dragons, but you’ll always be my white rose…” more kisses, “my sweet, innocent flower.”

“I know…” she breathes out, “but still…”

Midoriya looks up, bracing himself on his elbows. “But nothing.” He takes her hand and kisses the fingers. “Our hearts are devoted to one another, that counts for something.” Then he gently sucks the pointer finger into his mouth and twirls his tongue around the digit. “Does it not?”

“Yes,” her voice mewls.

“Just focus on us right now.” He kisses the tips of the fingers. “Okay?”

Uraraka nods and instantly sucks in a breath when he dives right back into his oral ministrations. She bites down on her bottom lip as his mouth clamps down on her clit and begins to suck on the button like a piece of hard candy, licking and rolling it with his tongue. His hands grip to her thighs to hold her down as she starts to squirm, alternating between her clit and labia to catch the excess juices seeping through. Each time his tongue runs through the folds, her muffled moans seize up in her throat, but when it slips over the entrance, she squeaks from the titillating sensation. She finally grabs a small pillow, holds it against her face, and bites into the fabric.

Flashes of light, like twinkling stars in the night sky behind her eyelids explode when she feels him slip a finger into her pussy. One, then two they’re thrust inside, the palm of his hand hitting against her swollen and heated folds engorged with blood. The stimulation is exacting a heavy toll on her with each insertion, each strike, and curl of his fingers pressing against a sensitive point inside her. Coupled with his lips suckling on her clit, she wouldn’t last very long this way. Already the heat burning inside of her core is reaching a boiling point, like a metal rod ready to crack under the pressure.

“Izu...” is all she musters before sucking in and puckering her lips to stifle the building scream. Her body reels and spasms through the orgasmic waves, thighs clamping against the sides of his head as she rides the high. He grins with pride, satisfied to have brought her over the edge once more.

He sits back on his haunches, licking the remnants of sticky sap from his lips, and savoring Ochako’s sweet essence. The woman’s been eating plum cakes, he muses. Her flushed skin and heated stare makes his dick twitch. Heavens above, this woman is beautiful.

It is her turn to make a move as she coyly rises up and clambers onto his lap.

“Chako?”

“Shh,” she purrs and guides him in until Izuku’s dick is nestled within the walls of her heated antechamber. She feels his fingers clench on her hips, and his breathing slows at the pressure. It feels so good to be filled, completed by the only man both her body and soul thrives for.

She kisses his lips softly while weaving her fingers over his neck and twining them into his hair. With her legs wrapped around his body, her hips start to rock in languid yet forceful motions, his own hands now cupped to her ass, guiding alongside her movements. The room fills with the gentle slapping sounds of skin on skin friction, wet and scented musk filling the air around them. Silenced moans on both sides, swallowed up in their kisses. Up and down Ochako uses the strength of her thighs, riding the length of the shaft and stopping at the head before driving down again.

Izuku’s hips can no longer stay stagnant. They counter her thrusts, his thighs acting as pistons and his hands pushing her down to force a deeper penetration. She whines in frustration, knowing if she lets him fully throttle her there’d be no way to control her screams. And oh, how she wants that! All the gossip by servants, to be fucked until they couldn’t walk anymore made her jealous! Her hands grip into his hair as the knot in her belly tightens for the second time that evening.

“I—Izu...” he covers her mouth with his to catch her moans. They couldn’t risk getting caught. So close... so close. Without stopping the kiss, he moves her in one swift motion onto her back, continuing the onslaught of thrusts. She keeps her hands wrapped around his neck and head to keep a pressure on their kiss, as her legs hook onto the back of his thighs. His hands move to her pelvic points, pushing downward as he thrusts upward, grinding their bodies together.

The pressure around his dick is becoming overwhelming. Fuck, he is so close. All the rubbing is creating so much heat and friction, and he feels Uraraka come undone. Her legs clench and stiffen, back arching, twisting with muffled screams that break the silence of the room. Shit! Hopefully no one heard it! His eyes screw shut as the first wave hits him, the vision behind his eyelids exploding white for a second. He thrusts with each pulse from his dick. Three, four, his entire body shudders and goes limp at the final release.

They stay there wrapped in each other’s arms for several blissful moments while their breathing returns to normal. When the feeling in his limbs return, Izuku raises his torso, and braces on his elbows to cradle Ochako’s face. He places a soft kiss to the corners of her mouth. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” she breathes out.

Oh, how he wishes they could stay like that. To keep her in his arms and wake up to her beautiful face in the morning. But it cannot be. Izuku sighs and kisses her again before pulling out. He hands her the moist towel she’d prepared earlier to clean up while he bundles up the used prophylactic for disposal.

After helping her to dress and donning his clothing too, Izuku moves to the rear sliding door that leads to her private garden. They stand there for a moment in an embrace, relishing the time they’d had together and savoring its fuel until the next time. He kisses her forehead and bids her goodnight, quickly sliding the door closed behind him.

“Had your fun?” The familiar voice sends a cold chill right through his soul.

He slowly turns to his best friend, eyes wide with fear for getting busted. If this meant death, so be it. “Katsuki, I can explain.”

“Save it. I don’t really care if you’re fucking her. She was my father’s choice not mine.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’ll make you a deal, and if you agree I won’t turn you in.”

Izuku’s eyebrows raise. “Go on.”

“You marry Utsushimi and let me have my way with her.”

“Oh, I get it. I know she’s the one you wanted in the first place.”

“Exactly. Eventually when I take over this family it won’t make a damn difference anyways, but until then, we’ll fucking both get what we want.”

He takes one last glance towards the closed door before turning back to his friend. “You got a deal, Katsuki.”

UA STUDENTS

Katsuki Bakugou- April 20; Taurus

the absolute SHOCK in my face to learn he wasn’t an aries

it would be expected that katsuki is a fire sign, like cmon look at his quirk

but taurus is actually an earth sign 

taurus are typically seen as quite calm, but,, 

katsuki does seem like a true taurus in many ways

they can be stubborn and unwilling to compromise 

they are very realistic 

HATE FEELING INSECURE

they are often great at cooking and love to shop 

i feel like katsuki isn’t a self indulgent shopper but would buy anything for his s/o 

taurus are really good at working with their hands ;) 

theyre soft romantic bbs and as much as katsuki hates being vulnerable he’d definetly be a softie with his s/o 

id match katsuki with a calm pisces

Izuku Midoria- July 15; Cancer

i am not shocked at ALL to see that the lil broccoli boy is a cancer

like cmon he’s so sensitive 

he is a cancer to the T

he’s loyal, emotional, imaginative 

he also carries the negative traits of many cancers

such as feeling insecure and having difficulty taking criticism 

i mean the kid breaks his bones to prove others wrong 

cancers love being with their friends and family 

and they love helping others

the career of a hero would be natural for cancers

cancers are such sweet babies and izuku fits right into that category 

i would match izuku with a chill taurus 

Tenya Iida- August 22; Leo 

i didn’t expect tenya to be a leo but im also not surprised 

leos are often seen as flashy and arrogant 

but they’re more than their stereotype

leos are passionate and natural born leaders

like cmon class rep! 

tenya being a leo makes a lot of sense 

he’s generous and kind and always strives for the best 

they tend to be a bit dramatic, and tenya can be too 

being that leos are a fire sign they gravitate to self growth

this can be seen in tenya wanting to improve and challenging himself 

leos struggle facing harsh realities, similarly to tenya when he learned about what happened to tensei 

leos are known for their bravery and tenya fits right in

i would match tenya with a kind aquarius 

Shoto Todoroki- January 11; Capricorn 

i practically screamed when i realized shoto was a capricorn 

it just makes way too much sense 

they’re responsible, well-mannered, respectful !!!!

HOW IS HE SO HOT AND RESPECTFUL

capricorns i just,, i love them, truly 

shoto is no exception 

they love family, things of quality, traditions 

and their dislikes vary from day to day

why?

cause they’re iconic thats why 

however, capricorns aren’t always the nicest 

they tend to be condescending and can often come off as rude 

they’re incredibly unforgiving *ahem endeavor ahem* 

but, its because they just have naturally high standards 

it makes sense that he is an earth sign because he’s super grounded 

because saturn rules capricorn, the tend to seem cold and distant at times

but they are incredibly loyal friends and always strive for the best 

i would match shoto with a down to earth cancer

Mashiro Ojiro- May 28; Gemini 

i must admit, i was surprised to learn ojiro is a gemini

but if you really look at his character it makes a lot of sense 

gemini’s have a bad rep of being too faced

they’re actually one of my favorite signs!!

gemini’s are are gentle and affectionate 

and sweet bb ojiro is exactly that 

however they also tend to be quite anxious, another thing ojiro happens to be at times as well 

they’re very adaptable people

this can be seen throughout ojiro’s training and how much he learns and is willing to continue striving for 

gemini’s are very sociable and will talk to almost anyone 

like, he doesn’t see hagakure but they’re still good friends 

this is why i think ojiro would do great with a fire sign 

i would match ojiro with a cheerful sagittarius 

Denki Kaminari- June 29; Cancer 

alright cancer number two!! 

to be honest, denki doesn’t really give cancer vibes 

but, his personality traits align to much of what a cancer is 

tenacious and loyal 

and denki is definitely that 

however, cancers can be suspicious of others and their actions

and denki feels like the kind of guy to snoop on somebody 

but we gotta give denki some credit 

cancers strive to be there for their friends no matter what

denki shows this in the usj attack when he protects momo and jiro 

cancers tend to avoid conflict but even so, they search for conflict in those who pose bigger threats to them

similarly to when denki makes fun of bakugou even though he could totally blow him up 

denki is a chatty and flirty baby 

and cancers tend to be most compatible with earth signs 

buuut i think denki would be better suited with a fire sign 

i’d match denki with an outgoing aries 

Hanta Sero- July 28; Leo 

at first i was like hmmm no 

but then i used my brain and i was like actually yes 

leos are prideful and while sero doesn’t seem like the boastful kind, he does have a lot of pride in himself 

leos are very committed to their goals and sero’s actions show his dedication to becoming a hero 

leos are also so funny?? and sero is literally one of the funniest guys of 1A 

sero is one of the most sociable in the class and a total class clown 

leos are almost always seen with their friends and sero is no different 

sero’s vibes are just immaculate in my opinions 

so his s/o needs to match the energy 

i would match sero with a funny gemini 

Eijiro Kirishima- October 16; Libra

GOD IT JUST MAKES SO MUCH SENSE 

I CANT EVEN EXPRESS

THE ACCURACY

ok ok but seriously, of course kiri is a libra 

libras are diplomatic, fair, and strive for justice 

aka being MANLY is in the stars for bb kiri 

however, libras aren’t the most confident people 

they’re quite insecure and pity themselves a’lot 

which makes sense that its canon that it took kiri so long to accept his quirk 

have you ever wondered why kiri is so hot and cute and perfect?

ITS BECAUSE HES A LIBRA

im not even kidding

libras are known for being physically attractive 

i mean libra is literally ruled by venus

who else is venus?

APHRODITE AKA THE GODDESS OF LOVE

long story short, kiri is the god of love 

libras hate being alone

why do you think he puts up with bakugou constantly calling him shitty hair and pushing him around? 

i considered putting kiri with a water sign but they’re kinda babies (no offense i love my water signs) 

but i don’t think he could handle a person who is constantly emotional like many water signs are 

i would match kiri with a kind-hearted sagittarius 

Hitoshi Shinso- July 1; Cancer 

jesus christ ANOTHER CANCER?? 

i cant even be upset cause it makes sense 

while i would’ve thought shinso was a calm scorpio or a relaxde picses 

he fits much better as a cancer 

as mentioned previously with deku and denki, cancers really do have a heart of gold and just want to help people 

cancers are also very manipulative people 

i mean, look at this mans quirk 

cancers are also moody and pessimistic 

characteristics that shinsou has but are seen more as stoic and quiet

but cancers are also sympathetic 

and bb shinsou is a softie i just know it 

cancers are guided by emotion

like deku, he is seen as passionate for his desire to be a hero, even though his quirk is seen to be one of evil 

shinsou needs to be with someone who’s willing to listen when he opens up (which cancers hate doing)

i would match shinsou with an understanding taurus

Tamaki Amajiki- March 1; Aries

HUH

HUUUUH???

youre telling me this man is an aries and bakugou isnt?? 

i need to collect my thoughts 

OK so tamaki is an aries 

and honestly its pretty accurate

most times aries are seen as passionate in a reckless and angry manner

but tamaki’s passion is displayed in his dedication to being a hero 

i mean he’s literally in the big 3 

aries tend to be moody, which is seen in tamaki’s shy actions 

but they’re also enthusiastic and courageous 

tamaki’s courage is shown in the mission to rescue eri 

aries are seen as intimidating and tamaki’s dark features are exactly that 

and while he is very shy, he needs someone to help bring him out of his shell delicately 

id match tamaki with a gentle libra 

Mirio Togata- July 15; Cancer 

whats up with mirio and deku sharing the same bday doe 

this is way too many cancers 

BUT mirio is such a cancer lets be real 

we’ve covered the basics of cancers

sensitive 

loyal 

will do anything for others 

and most importantly brave

the sign of a cancer is a crab 

the crab symbolizes someone who doesn’t realize their great strength  

mirio is the personification of the strength of the crab 

and poor baby has gone through so much and deserves the world 

he’s so cheerful but he needs someone to be there for him when he’s at his most emotional moments 

i would match mirio with a tender capricorn 

PRO-HEROES

Shota Aizawa- November 8; Scorpio 

i mean cmon 

ofc dadzawa is a scorpio 

he’s the image of a stereotypical scorpio 

dark features, dark clothing, serious and kinda rude 

but scorpios get a bad rep for being meanies (we should be watching out for virgos tho) (jk jk i love my virgos <3) 

but scorpios have some of the best characteristics 

their loyalty is beyond words 

they would literally lay down their life for a friend or the good of others 

scorpios are passionate and assertive, and this side of aizawa definitely comes out 

aizawa is so stoic he needs somebody to soften him up 

i would match aizawa with a cheery cancer 

Hizashi Yamada- July 7; Cancer

another f*cking cancer

AND IT MAKES SENSE 

not just because aizawa and him are married and he’s a cancer and it totally makes sense 

but hizashi is such a cancer oh my god 

he’s sensitive, and caring, and brave, and a literal pro hero 

which is a cancer living the dream 

cancers often have difficult childhoods and struggle immensely to find outlets 

this fits with the theory that as a child, hizashi was put up for adoption and/or muzzled as a child because of his powerful quirk 

cancers are ruled by the moon, which would make sense to why they are so emotional 

because the moon goes through phases, so do they

hizashi needs someone that would help him be strong outside of his hero work and for his own mentality 

i would match hizashi with (aizawa or) a charismatic virgo 

Toshinori Yagi- June 10; Gemini 

ofc all might is a gemini 

he literally has 2 forms

and geminis are literally two faced

it makes so much sense that the symbol of peace is a gemini 

he’s adaptable and a quick learner 

geminis are affectionate and you cant tell me toshi isn’t the biggest cuddler and softie in the world 

geminis are people pleasers and just want to make others happy 

and all might’s literal thing is smiling to comfort those in fear

toshi needs someone who is understanding of what he had gone through as a retired hero and the bearer of one for all 

i would match toshi with an inquisitive aquarius 

Keigo Takami- December 28; Capricorn 

DADDY

ok but he is such a capricorn its not even funny 

he’s a cocky know-it-all kind of capricorn 

but he’s also a responsible and well mannered capricorn

capricorns are people who are willing to take on immense responsibilities 

and hawks is literally the no. 2 hero so of course he’s got a lot of responsibilities 

because he’s an earth sign, we wants to get the most out of what the world has to offer him 

including fame and money 

but hawk’s head strong and professional attitude is what comforts people and makes him such a great hero 

he needs someone who would match his energy well 

i would match keigo with a level-headed scorpio

VILLAINS 

Dabi- January 18; Aquarius 

FINALLY AN AQUARIUS

i have a deep love for this sign 

dabi is an aquarius and it is so accurate 

aquarius love to fight for a cause

in dabi’s eyes, the league of villains is the best cause he can support

and he’s at the front lines

they’re considered humanitarians,,and dabi is in his own “special way” 

aquarius love a good conspiracy and mystery 

and dabi is a total mystery 

aquarius constantly have to be stimulated and doing something

otherwise their boredom can lead to reckless actions 

they are also anti all emotions 

this is why they seem so aloof, they don’t know how to confront their own feelings 

i’d pair dabi up with someone who is willing to listen to him and hopefully allow him to open up 

i would match dabi with a charming sagittarius 

Tomura Shigaraki- April 4; Aries

now this is a stereotypical aries 

aries is ruled by mars, which was named after aries 

AKA THE GOD OF WAR??

like his literal goal is to destroy society,, 

aries love to be in leadership roles

they’re also short-tempered 

impulsive

and aggressive 

how ever, his more “positive” traits such as determination and passion are also evident in his characteristics 

they’re competitive people and tomura definitely is one 

tomura would need to be with someone who is calm  

i would match tomura with a patient leo 

Kai Chisaki- Birthdate Unknown;NA 

so kai’s sign is unknown 

BUT

he still deserves a match up 

besides his stance in villainy

kai as actually very well mannered and polite 

but he doesn’t value human life and sees his as more important and pure than those who are “sick” 

a lot of his characteristics would lead me to believe he is an unevolved sociopathic capricorn 

outside of being a villain i would match kai with someone who was understanding and a good listener 

i would match kai with a sympathetic pisces

27th December 2019

________________________________________________________________

Season of Giving

Todoroki quietly unlocks the door to the small apartment, tip toeing around scattered shoes and jackets. Removing his hero boots, Todoroki lets out a tired sigh. He rubs his eyes and stifles a yawn, taking a look around the living room. The tree is unlit, the room incredibly dark. It’s saddening to see as Todoroki remembers the last minute mission he was sent on Christmas Eve, leaving his boyfriend home for two days. His heart squeezes as he continues looking around, eyes falling to the hall leading to the back of the apartment. He breathes out a laugh at Midoriya’s costume on the floor, piece by piece left in a row towards their bedroom. 

He hangs his jacket on the hook by the door before following the clothing trail to his shared bedroom with Midoriya. He considers taking his boyfriend’s idea and removing articles of his hero costume as he walks down the hall, but holds back so there is only Midoriya’s dirty clothes to clean tomorrow. 

The bedroom door is cracked, indicating Midoriya didn’t shut it all the way when he got home. Quietly pushing the door open, Todoroki smiles fondly at the sight of his lover, lying on top of their comforter in only pajama pants, soft snores falling from his slightly gaping mouth. He’s curled inwards, like he’s trying to find warmth, facing the middle of the bed.

Without a second thought, Todoroki’s socked feet walk to the edge of the mattress and leans over Midoriya’s back to press a light kiss to his cheek. Midoriya’s nose twitches in acknowledgement before he lets out a content sigh, body looking a bit more relaxed as though he knew his lover was home. 

Sending a last, loving smile at Midoriya, Todoroki makes his way to the adjoining bathroom and takes a quick shower, scrubbing at the dirt and dried blood on his body. He winces whenever he puts too much pressure on a forming bruise before moving onto the next part of filthy skin. 

Less than ten minutes later, Todoroki has a towel wrapped around his waist as he shuffles through his dresser drawer, searching for something to wear to bed. 

“Sho?” A deep, sleepy voice calls out behind him in the dead silence, causing Todoroki to jump out of his skin. He quickly turns around, finding Midoriya beginning to sit up, scrubbing the sleep from his vibrant eyes. “You ‘ome?”

Todoroki huffs a quick breathe. “Yeah,” he whispers, holding the towel against his body and walking to meet his sleepy boyfriend. Midoriya twists so his legs are dangling off the edge, feet just touching the floor, leaving Todoroki a space to sit beside him. 

The fire and ice user immediately takes a seat, wrapping his free arm around the smaller male, drawing him closer. The two sit there in comfortable silence for a couple moments and Todoroki thinks Midoriya had fallen back asleep, but was pleasantly surprised when he felt soft lips come in contact with his cheek. 

“Get dressed and meet me in the living room.” Midoriya whispers before standing and walking out of the bedroom. 

Todoroki doesn’t get to reply and only sends a questioning eyebrow in the direction where his boyfriend went. Once he realizes his lover wasn’t returning, Todoroki sighs and stands, going back to the dresser, continuing his search for something to wear. 

His hair brushed and lower body dressed, Todoroki makes his way to the living room. He doesn’t notice until he’s in the room itself, but the small bulbs are brightly shining on the tree, the only source of light coming from the Christmas tradition. Midoriya is bent at the waist, rearranging gifts that had been left by friends and family for the lovers. Todoroki clears his throat and Midoriya snaps up straight. 

With a shy smile, he beckons Todoroki over, holding out his left  hand for the other to grab, while his right is hiding behind his back. Once Todoroki is standing beside his freckled love, Midoriya looks into his eyes. 

“Merry Christmas, Sho.” Todoroki feels an item placed into his free hand and when he looks down, he finds a neatly wrapped square, with a tag hanging off with To Shouto written on it. 

Todoroki smiles before releasing Midoriya and walking around the back of the tree, picking up a small Christmas bag and coming back to give it to Midoriya, who takes it with a beaming, yet tried smile. 

The two sit on the couch, facing inward towards each other. Without another word, they open their gifts together. 

Midoriya is the first to gasp as he pulls out a figurine with the two heroes, back-to-back in fighting stances. He brings it closer to his face, taking in every little detail: his own freckles, Todoroki’s scar, green lightning surrounding his plastic body and small bits of fire and ice coming from action figure Todoroki’s hands. He sets it in his lap and looks up, ready to thank his boyfriend with glossy eyes, but stops when he sees small tears sliding down Todoroki’s cheeks. 

Midoriya scoots closer, body radiating with nervous energy as he takes in the unusual stay of his partner. Feeling eyes on him, Todoroki finally glances up at Midoriya, a slightly watery smile fitting across his face. 

“Sho-”

“We’re going to America?” Todoroki interrupts, amazement shining in his eyes, as well as confusion and love. 

“W-Well, yeah. You had mentioned when I came back from there that you wished you could’ve came, that you’d like to visit there one day. And we’ve been working so much, so I got to save up, and I thought we could maybe use the break. So I spoke with the agency a while ago and got us two weeks in January to go across the seas, visit a couple monumental places,” Midoriya rants, explaining how this all came to be while Todoroki stares between him and the tickets in surprise. “B-But we don’t have to! I can probably get a refund for the tickets and let the agency know we don’t nee-” Midoriya’s anxious mumbling is cut off by Todoroki’s lips on his. They stay like that for a long moment, before Todoroki pulls back a little, resting his forehead against Midoriya’s. 

“It’s perfect, Izuku.” Midoriya smiles and Todoroki gives him another sweet kiss. “I can’t wait.”

[wolfcrunch]

What two bnha characters would you describe yourself as??

Aizawa, absolutely for one. I love cats, I wear black, I have that chronic resting bitch face and I’m tired and can sleep anywhere and have eyebags? I also act like a rat and Aizawa has big rat energy so. All I’m missing is the sleeping bag honestly and the fact I’d never teach children because nope

the second one is difficult and between Izuku or Bakugou but I’m gonna say more Izuku which is ironic considering he’s my fav. I understand being put down by your peers for something you could never really control and I also have a big tendency to hyper-fixate on stuff like Midoriya does with heroes! He keeps a notebook on those and I was the type of person to almost religiously note down facts about animals while I was growing up. Also I’m actually pretty shy and quiet like he is at the start of the series,, very anxious

[gay4eraser]

For that good good doc sic, 11 - 13, 16, 25, 28, 34, 35, 36, 40, 48, 49, 50

the good boi under the cut!!!

11. Do they have any special diet requirements? Are they a vegetarian? Vegan? Have any allergies? 

Nope! He gets sick easily and has VERY bad reactions to poison ivy or oak, but otherwise nothing really. He’ll eat whatever is put in front of him because he knows what it’s like to have nothing. And as a burgeoning nutritionist, he’s very aware of what’s healthy or not, so he tries to eat healthy when he can. 

12. What is their favourite food? 

Honestly? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. His favorite is funky flavors of jelly that aren’t usually found in stores. 

13. What is their least favourite food?

He’s not a fan of sweets but again, he’ll eat anything that’s put in front of him. 

16. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it?

Sic doesn’t collect anything really, he was homeless for a portion of his childhood and is too used to living frugally and on the run somewhat. He likes collecting silly straws for Sidney when he can though. Now that he has a place to live and is an adult with income, he’s slowly learning to pick up things that he thinks are neat. 

25. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves?

He’s not really a very cheerful person but he thinks it’s hilarious when people get what’s coming to them. Morbidly so. On the rare occasion you can get him to laugh it’s a quiet snort giggle or a sardonic chuckle. 

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

Sic’s always nervous and anxious, and he should probably be on meds and/or therapy for that, but medical costs yo. Sic’s greatest fear is someone taking Sideny away or hurting him for things Sid did in the past or might unknowingly do in the future. His greatest fear USED to be his parents, but well... he fixed that lol. 

Sic’s always scared so he’s always hunched in on himself, always shy, always quiet, always very timid. He’s especially scared of adults and of people paying attention to him in any way. 

34. What is their body type? How tall are they? Do they like their body? 

Sic is soooo small lmao, he grew up kind of malnutritioned and also genetically really late puberty meaning he only just started hitting some growth spurts. He doesn’t even have facial hair and is only JUST starting to get acne at 21. He looks like he could be in school with Izuku lmao. 

He’s only about 5′4″ and usually looks smaller because he slouches and hunches in on himself. He’s got a lot of scars and physical reminders of his times on the streets so, no, he doesn’t much care for his body. However he certainly TAKES care of his body. He washes very carefully and is very fastidious about his appearance and cleanliness. 

35. What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure? 

Sic doesn’t much have a guilty pleasure so much as his unguilty pleasure that he’s extremely shy about. He plays the piano and loves to sing. 

36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?

Sic’s pretty average at anything he tries, which is a talent in and off itself, though some don’t see it that way. His hobbies mostly include reflexive survival habits and singing/humming. 

He is very, very, very good at singing. His piano playing is kinda real rusty but his voice is super soft and smooth and when he’s singing he knows exactly what lyrics he’s using, so he doesn’t stutter. Music is a Huge part of his life and is insanely important to him and you’ll regularly find him humming or singing softly to himself and then stammering and running away shyly. 

Present Mic manages to get him to join karaoke night One time and everyone cries because turns out this boy can sing Very Loud if he needs to. Guess what binches he’s operatically trained. He’s got lungs. He prefers softer songs though. The kinds that make the whole room cry from sad feelings 

40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert? 

He can’t STAND energy drinks and is iffy on coffee. He’s a Brit, born and first raised, so he loves a nice cup of tea but not with sugar and not for the caffeine. He’s a nervous sleeper. He can fall asleep anywhere but wake up in a heartbeat. He doesn’t get much real sleep unless Sidney’s there to trade off with him in shifts.   

48. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend? 

O o f, he’s so shy and timid, parties terrify him. And formal fancy ones are hell and he will parkour out of them in a heartbeat. If he’s at a party, he’s been dragged there forcefully and held at gunpoint. You Can’t get him to stay at parties. 

49. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them? 

Wellll, Sidney’s his Most Important Thing, though Sid’s not really an object. But Sic loves his knives. They’re some rickety old daggers he’s had for years and if he could he’d take them everywhere. Unfortunately he’s not allowed. 

...doesn’t mean he doesn’t sneak them in everywhere when he can though. They’re kind of his comfort item, ready to protect himself with them. 

50. If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials?

Food, Sidney medications, Sidney foods, water, money, hygiene items, some clothes, a file for Sid’s spikes, extra pair of shoes... anything more depends on how big the bag is, does it have room for a first aid kit? Neosporin? Bandages and bandaids? He’s a survivalist, he’ll make the most of anything.

The Road Ahead of Us - Izuocha Fanfiction

I posted the link of this fic earlier for Izuochaweek. But thought I'd post the text post here as well. It was written for day 3 - Dungeons and Dragons! The link was already reblogged by @izuochaweek so I haven't tagged it again.

Hope you enjoy it!

Her hands are not as soft as they look.

He deduces, seeing her grip the staff, both the source and application of her power, with strength enough to turn her knuckles white. Her eyes glow with fierce, familiar determination, the one he has come to see a number of times in their journey together. Her clothes flutter and to any ordinary observer, the cause would look wind but from this close, Izuku is actually feeling the raw power emanating from her. Her lips are pressed into a thin line, brows furrowed and eyes narrowed in concentration.

He watches in awe as a mass of pink and white nothingness swirls around her, becoming thicker and thicker, slowly with each passing second. It steadily comes together, concentrating at a single point on the top of the magic staff, the white hot energy slowly shaping itself like an orb of power.

She takes a deep breath, her eyes zeroing on the large rock in front of them and yells out a loud “Release!”

The orb of white and pink speeds towards the stagnant rock, striking it with a loud boom and just like that, it shatters. Into pieces both small and large. But nothing similar to it's former massive form.

They blink, stunned at the immense display of power. She is panting, still gripping the staff tightly to her chest. But then turns to them, her eyes wide and expectant.

“I did it!” She screams, her face lighting up with a broad, wide smile that he's deeply come to adore.

Iida is the first one to return her enthusiasm with his own, loudly clapping and appreciating her efforts with a large smile. His blue eyes displaying the fondness and pride he holds for the girl in front of him.

“Yes,Uraraka! It was incredible!”

He tells her, the moonlight glinting off his glass but every word is truer than the last one.

Shouto stands there with a small smile and when she looks at him, he gives her a nod of acknowledgement. He is normally silent but his differently coloured eyes always express what he hides behind that impassive demeanor. And she understands that the gesture is nothing if not sincere.

She accepts it gratefully and then finally she turns to him, eager for his input regarding the feat she just performed and he steps forward, a large grin curling upon his lips in response to hers. There is a lot he wants to say, a lot he wants her to know but it doesn't matter at the moment. She's standing there, her excitement tightly coiled to hear his words and who is he to disappoint her.

“You were amazing.”

Suddenly she's smiling even more brightly than the stars above, a pink hue making her naturally pink cheeks appear even pinker. She is so beautiful beneath the night sky that the embers of the fire burning beside them look dull. As if they are shying away for her radiance and Izuku is completely aware of how his heart clenches at the sight of her unabashed smile.

…

It's late at night and the wind is chilling. He scoots closer to the fire in an effort to warm himself up. Well, today was his shift for the night watch. That's the reason he is sitting here, in cold, but he finds that he doesn't mind. His eyes are focused on any unnatural movements of the bushes surrounding them and his ears are trained on any similarly disturbing sound, his sword resting beside him.

Of all the things, he never expects something warm and soft to be draped over his shoulders. He almost squeaks when Ochako settles beside him, giving him a smile in greeting and extends her hands, palms completely out stretched to feel for the heat.

“It's cold here.”

“Yeah. It is.” He nods as he notices her without a blanket and then her hands return back to her side.

“Why are you out here though?” He asks, a little worried.

“Couldn't sleep.” Her voice is nonchalant but his eyes stray down to the way her hands fisted her skirt.

“Any specific reason?” he questions again, wanting her to bring out the issue that has been troubling her.

“Nope.” she denies but her eyes waver slightly and he knows she'll come out with it, now or later. It's fine for him though. As long as she can speak out her doubts.

They go silent once again, even though his mind is running the possibilities of her worries, her presence here eases him physically. His shoulders loose tension and his breathing goes calm. The way her eyes look up at sky, it seems to him that she is searching for something, an answer, a person? Or a destination perhaps? He's not sure.

He doesn't realise that in his quest to find the source that is making her anxious, he has been staring at her for a long while. He blinks when her hand waves in front of his face.

“Deku? Deku?”

“S-sorry! I was distracted.” He lets out an undignified yelp and she giggles, the sound of her laughter was soothing enough to stop his stammering.

“I can see that!”

He gives her a smile before they both settle down, leaning into the log resting behind them, reveling in the quietness of the surroundings and the warmth of each other.

As the cold increases Izuku could not help but notice the way how her body would shiver occasionally when a strong breeze would flow. And how pink and frosty her cheeks and nose looked.

“Come closer.”

He says even before he realises that he has. When she stares at him with wide, round eyes, the implications of his recklessly thrown words sink into him. And instantly, his freckled cheeks burn pink. 

“Y-you looked c-cold!”

He offered a loud explanation half expecting her to laugh at him but rather she turns her head to the other side, looking a little embarrassed and a soft “Ohh.” tumbles out of her mouth.

And without a word, she scoots closer to him, letting him envelope her in the blanket as well. The cozy warmth inside, immediately relaxes her. Though the sides of their bodies pressing against each other is an entirely different experience.

They neither dare to break the silence and nor do they look at each other. The forest floor and the dancing fires seemed more interesting to the two of them at the moment. But they don't make any effort to maintain distance. There is something between them - tentative but pleasant.

“Do you-” she starts, but bites her lip as if contemplating her words, after a second, decides to continue, “Do you think that we are doing the right thing? Is it the right path?”

As easy the answer was, he couldn't almost believe how hard it was to word it out and string them into comprehensible sentences. So he takes his time, carefully plucking words out from his vocabulary, wanting to express himself in the best possible way to quell her doubts.

“I don't know.”

Wow. What a way to start.  

“Look-I mean, Uraraka-”

Smooth, Izuku, smooth.

“Well, I want to say that we don't know, about what the future has got in store for us. We don't know if we're doing the right thing even but what I know is this - we'll do whatever it takes to save everyone. If a battle is to come between the forces of the light and the dark then we need to recruit as many as we can, to support our cause. To stop them from taking innocent lives. We have nothing to guide us, except for those ‘dreams’ I have. Heck, we don't even know if those 'dreams’ I keep having are anything to believe.”

But as his eyes turn to her, Ochako could see that blazing determination burning in all glory.

“But they are real, Uraraka. They are real. All Might is real. I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth. We need to go forward on this path. We need more comrades. We need to recruit capable warriors, mages anything, anyone who'd be willing to support us in this quest.”

Izuku's fiery passion makes a smile grace Ochako's lips. He's always been like this. So determined, so eager to help and save people.

“Even a dragon?”

“Um, yes, even a dragon.”

They suddenly burst out laughing, their voices crinkling together in a pleasant sound, warming everything around in the vicinity.

When the morning finally rolls into existence, Shouto comes out of the tent to a scene of both Izuku and Ochako curled up into each other, huddled up in blanket. Izuku's barely awake but the scene is so precious that Shouto simply decides not to disturb it.

…

“So, the dragon's lair is in that direction? Are you sure sir?”

“Yes.” The frail man's voice wavered under the pressure of old age but the conviction shining in his wise old eyes made Izuku nod and smile then thank him.

As he pointed the direction to his group, ready to hike the mountain as the old man spoke again.

“Are you sure you want to find the dragon, my boy?”

Even though the question was supposed to sound like a warning, there was something knowing swimming in the smile of the old guy.

“Yes.” Izuku answered, unflinching and daring.

“Then it's fine. The dragon is not evil as the people make him sound. He's just a little eager kid wanting to make some friends and do manly things.  So try not be afraid of him, okay? You'll hurt his feelings. Oh-by the way, I should let you know! He has a friend now! A very powerful but violent warrior with a foul mouth who's quite protective of him. I warn you, my boy, he's more trouble than the dragon actually.”

Izuku stood there, with his jaw hanging open to the ground, huge round eyes unblinking, too stunned to react.

“W-wh-what?!”

Before he let out that shriek, the man was already on his merry way, waving to them and whistling to the wind.

…

Ochako gulps. The cave in front of them was large, frighteningly large. Okay, large enough to at least contain ten dragons.

Her hands are clammy, and her heart is pounding in her ears. She bites her lower lip in anticipation and dread. Her feet are cold, despite the fact that she is wearing her boots. Suddenly a wheezing sound echoes throughout the cave and Ochako jumps up in air a few feet, wonders if she should use her staff and simply float away. She is shivering, the fear gripping her insides tightly leaves a bitter taste in mouth.

Her eyes dart to her side to see her comrades and Shouto looks a little unnerved at the sight of the massive cave and the previously heard loud sound because his eyes are wide, and his forehead is collecting beads of sweat and his hand is hovering just above the hilt of his sword. Though she cannot see Iida, she knows he is as shaken up as they are.

Okay, Ochako, calm down. Calm down. You just have to go inside this cave - the dragon's lair, and convince the dragon to join our team, easy right? Right? Right?

She almost squeaks when the sensation of a hand brushing against her startles her. Her gaze flicks towards Izuku, he is smiling at her, a wide smile, a smile that seems to say 'You don't have to worry, I'm here now.’ She is astounded at the kind of effect he has on her because she finds herself smiling back at him, her shoulders slowly loosing the tension and her breath turning even.

She knows, he is as scared as the rest of them are. But he is strong enough to hide that fear behind his smile, his emerald eyes shining with warmth that never fails to convince people that everything will be alright. It is a powerful sensation. A faith that all of them depend upon.

Her heart tingles at the final smile he gives her before turning her head back on the target in front of them. His eyes narrow and the fire burning in them is daring. His hand is gripping his legendary sword in a fierce grip, ready for action.

“Everyone” his bold words prompt them to look at him, “-let's do this, together!”

Both Iida and Shouto return the gesture with a smile of their own - courageous and hopeful. Looking forward towards the future they want to capture. The future that they all want to protect.

Ochako understands. As long as they are together, nothing is going to stop them. They can overcome all the obstacles on their path, be it a dragon to befriend or to fight a dark guild wanting to take over the country. They might not know the path they are moving on, they are not aware of the events and hell they might have to face in the future.

But it's fine, as long as they have their dreams to guide them and each other to live for.

Here, I'd love to know your thoughts about this if you've not read it before!

SFW Alphabet: Inko Midoriya

Everyone’s favorite mama! I’m going into this fully aware that as of this date (With up to chapter 308 released), she’s still married and we don’t know (wink wink) who the husband is (WINK WINK). But, well, when has that stopped shippers before? (pointedly looks at ToshInko shippers)

Meh, I can’t judge. Enjoy!

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Much like her son, Inko can be very affectionate to those she loves. Whenever you’re around her, she can usually be seen holding your hand or standing close to your side. She loves hugs and will blush red as a tomato if you happen to pick her up and squeeze. Give this sweet woman all of the hugs, she’s so precious.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Ironically, she’s the Mom Friend. Constantly worrying about your wellbeing, treating you to snacks whenever you look even the slightest bit hungry, bringing you homemade lunches, treating your injuries -- you name it. Your friendship probably started with a chance meeting somewhere, or perhaps you recognized her son from Yuuei and went over excitedly talking about the both of them and how great his mother must be if he turned out to be such a good kid. Both blush in embarrassment, but Inko is happy that her son is so well-received. The two of you end up talking more later, and from then on, as they say, is history.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Oh she is the QUEEN of cuddles. She can be self-conscious of her own appearance and weight, but if you’ll stand it, she loves cuddling up to you. Usually she likes to lean into your side and rest her head on your shoulder, but if you settle her into your lap, she likes to hug you. She’ll protest, but just reassure her and she’ll fold.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Inko has literally been a single mother for the past however many years her husband has been absent; since we’ve literally never seen a glimpse of him, even in passing photos, I’m going to assume she’s been a housewife since Izuku’s birth and a single mother since he was around 4-5. She knows how to cook and clean very well. Considering that she’s already in her 40′s with one child (and we’re going to blissfully pretend she’s divorced/widowed), she’s very reluctant to settle down again, citing her age as a big factor. But if you’re serious enough and if you’ll have her, eventually she’ll cave due to her deep feelings for you too.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

I know you’re expecting me to say she’ll cry here, but she’s proven to have extreme emotional strength. Yes, she will cry -- but you won’t see it. She’ll calmly sit you down and tell you that she’s been thinking of ending your relationship, and ask if you’re okay with it or if you want to work things out. If you both decide to end it, she stresses that she’s alright with remaining friends if you want that too -- and as soon as you leave, she breaks down into tears.

F = Fiancé(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

I’m assuming she married late in her 20′s because she had a successful career before Izuku was born, and again, that she’s divorced/widowed. She’s extremely hesitant to get married again, considering her age and status as a single mother. She doesn’t want to drag anyone down with her personal life and past mistakes, even if she really, really loves you. It causes her a lot of stress and it will take a lot of insistence from you that you want to get married for her to finally set aside her own insecurities and agree.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Inko is such a gentle sweetheart. She’s always so kind to you and it carries over after you get into a relationship. Her touches are soft and so is she, both physically and emotionally. She hates conflict and is inclined to agree with you on a lot of things, but she can be stubborn on certain topics. Mostly, she’s just so happy to have met you and loves you so deeply she can’t stand it. A lot of the time, she acts like a shy, giddy schoolgirl in love again because that’s what you make her feel like.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

She LOVES hugs. If you’re okay with physical touch, she’ll hug you at least a few times a day. It’s more than just touch, it’s reminding you of how much she loves you. If you aren’t used to it/don’t like it, she’s fine with it (she gets hugs from Izuku of course), and she’ll show you affection in other ways, like giving you gifts or homemade cooking.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It happens sometime maybe a year or so into your friendship. She blurts it out without thinking one day, and then claps a hand over her mouth and blushes bright red. She wants to die of embarrassment right there, because she has no idea if you feel the same.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

She can get fairly jealous of other people taking away your time, but at the same time she’s resigned to it. She genuinely feels like you could do so much better than her and isn’t mad, but gets kinda depressed in private and stress-eats.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Her kisses are feather-light and hesitant. She loves to give you sweet little pecks on your cheek or forehead, and she just melts if you give her a forehead kiss in return. She turns bright red when you kiss her lips, and she starts stuttering and covers her face with her hands.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

You already know she’s one of the Best Moms. She can handle children very well, having brought up eternal-bundle-of-energy Izuku all by herself.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Given that you live together, she gets up first to get ready for the day. Sometimes she wakes you up with breakfast in bed, other times she greets you as you come to the kitchen to help her. The two of you eat breakfast together before truly starting your day.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Once you both are all wound down for the night, she likes to lay in bed with you and talk about your day. This leads to snuggling, with slow kisses and smiles as you both fall asleep.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

She keeps her cards fairly close to her chest most of the time, but as your friendship progresses month after month she reveals fond family memories and talks about her fears, stresses, and hopes and dreams for both her and her son’s futures. Once you start to get serious, she peppers in more intimate tidbits here and there.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

She can be very patient, having brought up Izuku, who was a smol bundle of boundless energy when he was a kid. It takes a lot to get her to snap. If you wanna speedrun it, just talk trash about her son and/or his classmates.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

She remembers a lot about you. If you tell her something, she saves it for later. If she happens to see little things about you, she saves it for later. She doesn’t remember every single little thing, but things like your favorite color, food, scent, animal, your birthday -- she remembers all of those and more.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

The day you told her you loved her for the first time and that you were serious about a relationship together. For so long she’s been alone with just her son, and now here you are, a new face who saw her with all of her faults and setbacks and loves her regardless.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

She’s very protective. She can become quite the mama bear when it comes to those she loves, and she would even stand up to a villain in order to protect you. She appreciates it when you’ve got her back too, however, but not to the point that you consider her a damsel in distress who needs saving 24/7.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

She puts so much effort into everything she does for and with you because she desperately wants you to know that she really does love you. She writes down every anniversary and gives you gifts on every date. She kisses you at least once a day and tells you she loves you.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

She has the tendency to stress-eat whenever she’s anxious or depressed. In recent years she’s tried to lose weight, but she has the unfortuante tendency to worry about everything all the time, and it’s really curbed her efforts and makes her depressed, thus repeating the cycle. She also worries. A lot. If you aren’t patient, it can get a little annoying.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

She’s incredibly self-conscious about how she looks. She knows that when she was young, she was quite attractive (of course she still is, but she doesn’t see it that way), and now that she’s older she doesn’t feel quite as sexy as she used to. She tends to talk herself down a lot as a ‘frumpy old lady’.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

She could live without you, in all honesty. She’s done it with Hisashi, and she can do it again. Granted, it would feel like absolute shit, and she’ll be depressed for quite a while, but she will survive. She has to.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

I absolutely love the thought that Izuku’s friends decide to throw him a surprise birthday party and they track her down to get her help with it, and that’s how she gets to know every one of her son’s new friends (and probably gushes about how thrilled she is to see him so happy these days). (She will literally fight Enji if he dares put a hand on Shouto once she finds out his backstory.)

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Someone who’s too cynical/mean. As much as she can tolerate Mitsuki’s weird relationship with her son, she doesn’t want to be romantically involved with someone who’s super mean to others, especially not to her. I don’t think she would appreciate a super-tsundere.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

She’s had a regular sleep schedule with Izuku in the house, and even now she tries to keep to that routine.

The Scars Make the Man (IzuOcha One-Shot)

Summary: It is hard for Deku to wrap his mind around the fact that he is dating Ochako Uraraka, the best girl he has ever met. For an awkward guy like him, navigating romance was a monumental challenge. One that would lead him to try to hide the ugliest part of himself — his scars.

Some days Izuku wondered whether falling in love would be the death of him.

The idea of even being in love was something he hardly ever fathomed as a child, isolated and unpopular as he was. Nobody was interested in associating with a quirkless loser like him, even as a friend, let alone a crush. He hardly even interacted with girls; they tended not to acknowledge him and he was far too shy to try to change that. His childhood had left him with zero experience when it came to romance, and for a long time, he was fine with that. But now he cursed his social ineptitude and fortunes with all his might for leaving him wholly unprepared for the lovely, horrifying world of dating.

Trying to navigate the rules of romance with no real experience to draw from was making him trip up far too often — figuratively and literally. Trying to put out flirtatious banter and displays of affection simultaneously drove him into nervous madness and made him feel like he was going to combust. That was all besides his difficulty trying to manage his appearance with a vigour that was alien to him before he started his romantic escapade. He wanted to look and be as good as possible for her; she deserved that, and more.But despite fears that his heart might leap out of his chest any day now, the joy they shared made all the hardship more than worth it. Izuku was endlessly thankful that Uraraka was far more courageous than himself, in many ways. After over a year of longing glances, quiet smiles, unwitting flirting during sparring sessions, and overcoming life-or-death situations (which there were far too many of), she had finally worked up the nerves to ask him out. That was something he would probably have never been able to work up the gumption to do. After the shock wore off and he regained his thinking capacities, he blurted out a "yes" and he was almost blinded by how brightly she beamed at him. The next few weeks were a mixture of explosive nerves and blissful oblivion.With how strong the foundation of their friendship was, they flowed together so seamlessly that most of the dates proved fairly straightforward. Spending time with Uraraka was already so natural that most of their dates were very easy going. Just spending time with one another, laughing and enjoying each other's company made the ordeal worthwhile. But many of the technicalities of dating proved to be a source of constant consternation for him. Working through the awkwardness and the nerves of a first love was driving him to ruin. He needed information but he hardly had any good sources. The internet was polluted with contradicting information on dating that did not seem very effective (he had tried a couple of cheesy romantic lines from the web, causing Uraraka to laugh in his face while telling him to 'be himself'). Beyond that, he was hesitant to try to ask anyone for advice on this, especially since the pair were trying to keep their new relationship under wrap,  lest they face an onslaught of relentless teasing or worse.

Although given the number of knowing glances they had received over the past few weeks from their classmates, he wondered how effective that strategy really was. 

As a result, Deku relied on improvisation to navigate the uneasy waters of love, causing him to capsize on more than one occasion. For her part, Uraraka was not exactly sure of herself either and seemed to be winging it as much as he was.

But as they always could, they worked through it together and found a way to persevere, whether with a laugh or a helping hand. And the rewards of the effort — the contact, the intimacy, those kisses — made his blissful heart somersault in a way he had become addicted to. Life was good, despite the misgivings that his heart's regular pounding might not be good for his long-term health.

Thus, he found himself sweating like a hog as he tried to get ready for his next date with Uraraka. The still budding relationship and his desire to constantly impress had made him far more anxious than he usually was. He had developed a habit of rigorous cleanliness, fretting about what shirt to wear and trying to comb his hair to make it slightly less weird-looking (to little avail). Deku starred in a full-length mirror in his room (a recent addition after he and Uraraka started getting serious) after settling on a fancy green collared shirt and his nicest pair of jeans. The freckled boy peering back at him looked terribly plain. Were it not for his quirk, he would never stand out, but at an outward glance, you could hardly tell he even had one. The only parts of him that really stood out were the harsh scars that crawled around his right hand and up his arm; a mark from his extensive quirk usage. He had taken to wearing sleeves these days to avoid any awkward stares. Nodding to his own image, he stepped out of his room and trudged out to the dorm common area, ready to face the day with his...girlfriend (his own thinking still stumbled at the word). His heart was already kicking up a notch as his upcoming date with Uraraka approached closer with every footstep.

"Ooh, what you dressed up for Midoriya?" Kaminari asked from the couch as Izuku made his way through the commons towards the exit. Mercifully, Kaminari was the only other one there, with most students outside enjoying the spring sunshine. "Uhh...just heading out, nothing special," he lied through his teeth as he tried not to make direct eye contact. "See you around!" he blurted with a burst of speed towards the door. "Alright, have fun!" Kaminari called back. Izuku breathed a sigh of relief as he closed the door. "Ladykiller."

Izuku felt a shock down his spine at Kaminari's parting line. He slammed the door the rest of the way closed with more force than needed, groaning at the tease. Countless strategies they had tried — avoiding each other in class, exiting the building for dates at different times and repeated denial — seemed to have had little effect on sidetracking his classmates from their relationship. He supposed he might as well give up trying to keep things under ropes at this rate.

The bustle of the city outside Yuei gave him a merciful reprieve from thinking about his relationship's publicity as he walked briskly towards his meeting place with his...girlfriend. As he got closer to the pre-selected cafe of the week, he found his mood lifting ever higher. The nerves still bubbled beneath the service, but going on a date with Uraraka always brought with it an excited energy. "Deku!" Uraraka shone brighter than the sun as she waved at him from the cafe, beaming, her exuberance infectious but also making his knees a little weak. She was too cute, dressed up in a casual black skirt and grey t-shirt with her hair done up at the back, an almost pointedly dark-green vest draped over her shoulders.

She practically collided into him, relishing in a quick, forceful embrace. She had made glomping him a habit of greeting, a gesture he had come to appreciate. "Hey Urara-" Izuku paused mid-sentence as Uraraka disentangled herself from him before she shot him a dirty look that stayed his tongue. "O-ochako." She had insisted he start using her given name when they were alone together, another change he was struggling to adjust to. But the smile on her face as the name rolled off his lips was more than worth the hiccups.

"That's more like it," she said, quietly grabbing his hand. The skin contact and the soft sensation of her fingertips sent a few goosebumps crawling up his arm, but he managed to squeeze back gently. "Make it out okay?" "Mostly…" Deku scratched the back of his head and sighed as he recalled his exit. "Kaminari knows about us, I think." "Mina bumped into me before I got here...she would not stop wiggling her eyebrows," Uraraka shook her head while gently guiding the pair of them towards the cafe entrance. They managed to find a seat deep inside the bustling establishment, hoping to keep hidden from any prying eyes. "Maybe we should give up trying to hide it," Deku suggested. Even though he could never imagine flaunting their romance, the whispered teases were getting grating. Knowing their classmates, there would probably be an explosion if they came out in the open (figuratively and literally), but it would die down after a while and they might be able to exist in peace. "Yeah...maybe…" Uraraka bit her lip slightly, frowning. The forlorn expression, which she had once made a point of hiding from him, was something he hated seeing on her. "I'm just not sure yet. I don't...I don't know if I'm ready to go through all that, with everything else going on." "Hey, it's alright," Deku relented quickly, reaching out across the table and gently taking her hand as guilt stained her face. She looked up at him through her eyelashes, lips tilting upward in a small, involuntary smile. "We don't have to rush into telling people if you're not comfortable. Either way is alright with me." "Thanks, Deku," she replied, the smile growing a little wider. She looked down at their hands and gently curled her fingers in his. He gladly obliged the sweet gesture, his scarred hand sliding through hers with the lightness of a feather.

Uraraka's eyes wandered towards their clasped hands. Her face slowly fell and her hand flexed slightly. She bit her lip and winced. "Is...is something wrong?" His mind slowly accelerated as he analyzed her face and tried to figure out how he could lift her spirits again. He gently retrieved his hand from her clenched grasp, immediately missing the sweet contact but fearful it was somehow making her uncomfortable. "Huh? Oh, no, it's fine, Deku," Uraraka sputtered, cheeks flushing as she lifted her eyes back to him. "Sorry, zoned out for a moment. I just got a lot on my mind lately, you know?" "Yeah, I know what that's like," Deku said, nodding in understanding. But he kept his eyes affixed and steady on her. He had known her for long enough now to tell when she was hiding something. Uraraka did not let on what the wince was about through the rest of their date. She fell easily back into their laid-back camaraderie. Quiet laughter flowed plentifully from their table as they discussed the latest happenings of their dorm life (such as how Kaminari learned never to disturb Bakugo while he was brushing his teeth). They also exchanged gripes about school, internship duties and upcoming tests. They were both comfortable in laying bare their anxieties as they moved toward their futures, lifting each other up as needed.

But her wince nagged at him throughout their conversation, a wiggling little worm at the back of his mind. Why did she look so uneasy when he took her hand? The uncertainty ate at him, but he tried to ignore it as best as he could, with little success. Far too soon, the two finished their lunch and prepared to part ways outside the cafe. Uraraka had to get ready for a late shift with Ryukyu's office. Even as only regular interns, their time together was so fleeting. Deku tried to treasure every moment they had. "I had a really good time, Deku," Uraraka said wistfully. She stared up at him shyly, bringing herself right up against him. His heart leapt hard against his chest and he swallowed down his nerves. "Me too...Ochako…" he replied softly. Her arms extended around his neck, locking him in place. She was so close. He went still as a statue but managed to extend a shaking hand to rest on her hip. A small improvement from his usual motionlessness. She brought up her lips to meet his, gentle but firm. It was so hard for him to think, let alone move or initiate in these situations. He pressed back slightly, his mind swimming with the sensation of her soft mouth. "You're getting a little better," Uraraka teased as she broke away, grinning up at him. "Next time, you're going to be the one kissing me, alright?" "Yeah...sure…" he nodded in a slight daze. He shook his head and tried to reclaim his wits. He tended to go a little stupid when she did this, his mind becoming lost in the disbelief of Ochako Uraraka kissing him. "I'll give it my best shot." "That's all I'm asking," she responded, before digging her fingers in lightly as she slid her arms down his neck, causing him to shiver. "See you at the dorm later?" "Definitely…" he squeaked, causing her belling laughter to ring. It was music to his ears, despite his embarrassment.Izuku watched wistfully as she walked away, wondering what he could have possibly ever done to deserve his good fortune. However, despite all the mushy afterglow of a date with Uraraka, the question of her wince remained a spectre that sunk its claws deeper into his mind.

He walked slowly back to Yuei, intending to spend the rest of the day in a workout regimen, but remained lost in thought. He pulled at his lip and considered what exactly had brought that sudden unhappiness onto Uraraka's face. Did she not want to hold hands as much? Was it the lingering fear that they would get spotted in their casual intimacy by someone they knew? He stared down at his scarred right hand, the gate to his rather disfigured arm. The faded wounds were ugly marks on his skin and a constant reminder of what would happen if he pushed himself beyond his limits. A constant reminder of the price of being unable to control One for All. He would never take back his actions that got him the markings, but he regretted not finding a way to better control the power sooner. But as he kept his analytical stare down on his skin, he started to wonder. Was it...grotesque? Izuku had never been one to mind his own appearance too much. He had been described as "plain-looking" by many classmates growing up and he was more than happy to try to use that image to fade into the background of middle school, in the vain hopes of avoiding the bullying of his classmates. His mind was far too occupied with other matters — like gathering information on heroes — to care much about trying to stand out as a quirkless boy in middle school. But now he did have a reason to try to impress with his looks, which he didn't have much to naturally work with. He wanted to look good for Uraraka. And his scars...just didn't. They stood out, making his hand look broken — which they were, in a way. They weren't really the cool-looking marks of battle like some heroes had, showing their triumph over villainy. They were an etching of weakness and fragility. A reminder of how far he had left to go. Izuku clenched his right hand into a fragile fist, the appendage looking far older than it should. He trembled a bit as he thought about how off-put Uraraka might have been seeing this mangled thing between them. He pondered if girls cared at all for scars these days. He wondered if these markings hurt what little looks he might have. He committed then to trying to correct the failing of his hand in what ways he could. Whatever the reason, his hand may have made Uraraka uncomfortable, and that revolted him. He would have to calculate a way to adjust.

Nervous energy kept Deku pacing as he waited for the apple of his eye to meet him once again. He was particularly excited for today's excursion; a surprise picnic in a secluded spot of a park, underneath a shady tree. It might be on the cliche side, but he figured Uraraka would appreciate it nonetheless, and he had a lot of fun preparing the meal with his mother. He had dressed in a sharp, red checkered shirt and slacks. Accentuating the outfit — hopefully — were a new pair of red gloves that he had bought just for the occasion. If all went according to plan, it would prevent some of the awkwardness present at their last date. Uraraka appeared over the horizon, outfitted in a casual red tank top and shorts. His throat went a little dry at the loose wear, although it had a tendency to do that whenever they were alone together these days. "Hey Deku!" she became as she skipped over to him, eagerly wrapping her arms around him in a vice-like hug. Her eyes idly rolled over to the basket at his feet and she let out a light gasp. "Oh wow, you brought a picnic?" "Yeah, I thought we could just relax here for the afternoon. If that's alright with you, anyway." Deku idly crossed his fingers at his side. "Of course!" she exclaimed with a grin, clapping her hands lightly together "I'd love to! I haven't had a picnic since I was a little girl." "Me too," Deku replied before his cheeks flushed as he realized how that might sound. "I mean since I was a little boy!" Uraraka giggled, before gently taking his hand and pulling him down to take a seat on the grass. Her eyes widened a bit and her eyebrow quirked up as she was met not with the familiar soft flesh, but instead hard leather. "So...what's with the gloves?" she asked, idly pulling at his hand to examine the material. "Oh, uh, well it's...I thought it worked well with the outfit, you know?" Deku stammered while scratching his cheek and nervously retracting his hand from Uraraka's probing fingers. "I wear gloves with my suit and I kind of liked the style. And this way, people won't notice...uh…you know." "Notice what?" she eyed him skeptically, affixing him with a piercing stare. Deku gulped. "...The scars. I just wouldn't want anyone to be...disturbed by them or anything, just in case." Uraraka's mouth fell open a bit as the statement momentarily stunned her. Deku couldn't meet her eyes as he saw how taken aback she was by his words. He was hoping she might not notice or comment on the outfit change and started to sweat as he realized he might have misread things. "It's not big deal really-" "Deku, what would ever give you that idea?" she interrupted him with the slow question, a rocky tone to her voice that left little room for argument. "I...uh…" he gulped again as she stared up at him with fire in her eyes. It was usually the sort of thing she reserved for sparring sessions and it left him on edge. "I...the other day I saw you wince a bit when you looked at my hand. I just thought that...maybe…"

"Oh no, I...I'm sorry!" Uraraka's anger melted in in an instant as she realized she was the inadvertent catalyst to the choice. "Izuku, I...just…" she shoved her face in her hands and groaned, before letting them slide down her cheeks. "I didn't…" she sighed out, inhaling a deep breath as she tried to gain some composure. "Can you...give me a bit of time to explain?" "Take all you need," Deku replied quietly, scooching over to lean against the tree hanging over them. Uraraka moved over to sit next to him, an awkward silence filling the space between the couple. After weeks of the nervous, but blissful exuberance between them, he hated this feeling of suspense. "Could I hold your hand?" Uraraka asked politely, a question that had not needed verbalization between them since their first date. Deku nodded towards her as he extended his right hand out, which she eagerly grabbed, pulling the glove off of it and revealing the scarred flesh beneath. "I am really sorry about that Deku. I…it's…" she took another deep breath as she traced random patterns into his skin, tickling it slightly and sending a few goose bumps dotting up his arm. "I didn't think my reaction was noticeable or anything, I guess. It was kind of involuntary. But I could have been more open with you." Deu stayed silent as her fingertips traced the lines of his hands, listening intently as the skin tingled. "I see these sometimes and...I guess they do unsettle me. Remembering how you got them, that look in your eyes as you blazed forward without caring about what you're doing to yourself," she shook her head as she squeezed his hand. "It hurt a lot back then, worrying about how my friend was beating himself up all the time. And I was just standing there watching or...even helping you do it." "Ochako…" Deku whispered as her face grew more and more downcast. He instinctively reached his other hand out to try to comfort her but stopped himself as she went on. "But the....the strange thing is…" she squeezed his hand tightly, clenching with the hidden strength that make Deku grit his teeth a bit. "In those moments, even though it hurt seeing you like that, there was a part of me that...that admired you more than anything else." Deku was not sure how to process everything she was telling him. He felt frozen by the sudden outpouring of feeling from her and he wasn't sure if he should be happy or offended or something else entirely. Evidently, she was having a hard time processing this all as well. "When you get that look in your eyes…" Uraraka suddenly looked up, meeting his gaze directly. "That drive in them, showing the world that you'll be a hero no matter what. It...it makes me want to be a better hero. It's what I love most about you."

His heart thumped hard at the "L-word," not something they had casually thrown around in the fledgeling days of their romantic relationship. But Uraraka didn't seem to realize what she had let out as she charged through her confession. "I remember a lot of the dark things that happened to us when I see these scars," she continued, turning her gaze back down to the hand she still held tightly. "And it can be upsetting. But I also remember that we pulled through it," she weaved her fingers through his, gentler now. "Well, you did. I was more of a bystander. But that still makes me feel happy to know." He gave him a soft smile, but it didn't quite meet her eyes. He didn't like that. "The ends you went to save people...would they see it as a mistake?" Uraraka probed as she thumbed over the scars again. Deku blinked at the question that turned the cogs in his brain, mind flashing to the faces of Todoroki and Kouda. "It doesn't matter what I remember when I see them or that I have mixed feelings when I do. These hands are part of who you are, Deku. You may think they mark your mistakes, but I see them as a reminder of the people you save and the incredible things you can do." She leaned a little closer as her face shone vibrantly up at him. "And I don't think you should be ashamed of them. Especially not because I'm being silly." Unbidden wetness teared at the edges of Izuku's eyes and his lip quivered as a torrent of tears sprang forth. "T-thanks…" he murmured with a shaky breath, his beating heart seizing his vocal chords. "Thanks, Uraraka."

"Aww…" Uraraka cooed as she wrapped her arms comfortingly around him, putting her head on his shoulder. "I'm happy if it helped, Deku." "It really did…" he murmured into her hair as he wound his arms tightly around her. "You know you...you always make me feel better.""Right back at 'ya," she replied as he gently disentangled himself for her to hold her at arm's length. He took his time looking at her through his bleary eyes; her rosy cheeks, her warm brown eyes, the smile that never failed to ignite his own. She was wondrous. She seemed a bit taken aback by the unrelenting stare and her cheeks reddened a bit further. "Deku?" "You...you mean so much to me and I just…" he gulped. This was tough, but he desperately wanted to try to return the kind words. To address her doubts, too. "What you think does matter to me, a lot, Uraraka. Don't ever doubt that. And when I...do the things that...that get me these…" He pointedly eyed his right hand. "You're always one of the people I think about." "...Really?" she whispered, eyes sparkling with a light that made his heart clench."Real...really. You inspire me so much and I just...what you do for me, I'm just so thankful," Izuku stammered, squeezing her hand and wishing he could be more eloquent in moments like this. "And you shouldn't put yourself down because you're...you're so amazing and I just want you to know that and I'm sorry if this is awkward I'm not used to this kind of-"

Her lips cut off his rant in the sweetest way possible, pressing against his with a passion that threatened to burn him alive. It was so much fiercer than the chaste kisses they had usually gone through and he found it hard to press back or breathe or think. He was so caught off guard that he toppled over and she fell on top of him, never relinquishing her seal upon his mouth. The fog in his brain lingered after she finally came up for air and stared down at him with a cautious smile, nose lightly bumping up against his, her eyes filling his own vision. "Too much?" she asked at his slack face. "N-no…" he managed to blurt out with all his strength and she laughed at him. "Sorry, I just...really wanted to try that," she explained, lifting herself off of him while blushing. "It...it's a little much but I think I like it." She lent out an arm to help him sit back up which he gladly accepted, unabashedly placing his uncovered right hand in hers.

"I won't stop you…" he murmured and Uraraka chuckled a bit again. "Thanks, Deku," she said earnestly, grinning up at him. "I'm glad we could talk this way." "Me too," he nodded as he idly stroked the inside of her palm with his thumb. His own scarred hand felt so much lighter, somehow, as if she had used her quirk on it. "But there's just one thing…" she spoke with mischief in her voice, rolling her eyes and confusing him with the sudden tonal shift. "What?"

"It's Ochako," she stated simply, giving him a faux punch to the arm with her free hand. Despite her mild indignation, her cheeky grin showed she was still in good humour. But Izuku still gasped, looking away and smacking his forehead as he realized he had slipped. "Oh shoot, sorry about that," he replied as he bowed his head in apology. Uraraka chuckled and waved a hand in reassurance. "Don't worry about it. It's like you to get a little formal when you're talking about something serious," she spoke with an easy going understanding. Izuku quietly counted his blessings once again.

He felt a sudden, strong urge of affection for the young woman who had captured his heart. It boggled his mind that despite how awkward and unsure of himself in romance as he was, she always found a way to make it easier on him. He could endlessly thank and praise her, but he wanted to show her what it is she meant to him. Izuku grasped tightly onto the impulse, sitting up straight and closing the distance between them. He slipped his scarred hand out of hers and migrated it up to her chin, relishing in the soft skin there as he tilted her head gently towards him. "Deku?" she asked in a breathy whisper that made his spine tingle with energy. Her eyes were half closed as she leaned in expectantly. "You...you mean...just…" his face felt like it was going to combust. His words failed him, so he took action and plunged forward the rest of the way. The nirvana washed away the thought of his scars. Or anything else he could think of, for that matter.
