BnHA Ch. 347 - Review, parallels, and comparisons
“Inflation” was a short chapter at 13 pages, and there’s another official chapter coming in 5 days (a Friday release). But damn, when the art is this good, does it matter if the chapter is short???
Soooo….how do you solve a problem like Midoriya? Apparently you shout his name a lot, then tell him he’s on his own because Shigaraki’s just one blink away from decaying UA. (I like that the heroes who knew him as a student call him Midoriya, not OFA or Deku.)
Tumblr media
I love Horikoshi reminding us that Monoma continues to be a rock star, plus the little notes saying THIS IS MONOMA. (I guess Hori thought we wouldn’t recognize him without his bangs? Hmm, perhaps there will be a chapter extra page on this when the volume comes out!)
This chapter was also brought to you by the word “whoa.” Bakugo’s left gauntlet shatters from Shigaraki’s hands (whoa!), Aizawa realizes Midoriya needs a warp but they can’t do it (WHOAA!), and Midoriya has Toga come flying at him (WHOA!) It’s an oddly cute way to tie together these characters realizing that they’re in over their heads.
Tumblr media
I’ll skip talking about the singularity here bc I have another post planned on that (I meant to finish it Friday but it didn’t happen!). All I’ll say is that the heroes continually underestimate Shigaraki’s non-quirk strength…. [Insert “I can’t believe it’s not quirks!” snark here.]
Tumblr media
However! I will say it’s odd that Shigaraki’s face is changing and his eyes are disappearing and reappearing rapidly. Compare feral war Shig, when AFO just starts to exert control, to this chapter.
Tumblr media
Since AFO’s face is covered by his mask right now, and we know he used to have white hair and red eyes, I wonder if his mask will eventually come off and we’ll see he has the same face as “perfected” Shigaraki. As Shigaraki and AFO have merged, it’s getting much harder to tell “who” is speaking, because it’s both. For example, yelling about heroes “sweeping things under the rug” and “couldn’t possibly comprehend” sounds very Shigaraki. But lecturing heroes on the singularity and how he’s so much smarter than the heroes? That’s AFO.
Tumblr media
Ok, it’s TOGA TIME Y’ALL! I quite enjoy Horikoshi putting his twist on romance tropes. Red string of fate? Check. Confessing at the end of the world? Check. Toga goes all out to yank Izuku to her so she can confess her love and, hopefully, save his life. See, Toga doesn’t want Izuku to go to UA because she fears the destruction that awaits. Shigaraki promised her that he wouldn’t destroy what she loves, but the Shigaraki she knew is gone. And AFO wants Izuku even more than she does. If she really does love Izuku — and in her own way, she does — then she can’t let him go because she might not see him again.
Tumblr media
I know people are upset that Danger Sense is used in this chapter as a shortcut for the “hard work” of getting to know Toga, or truly building an understanding with villains. But, to be honest, it doesn’t bother me. (There’s no right or wrong here, I’m just making my bias clear.) I personally don’t mind handwaving inconsistencies in quirk powers because powers always serve the story’s needs; e.g., we all know we’re gonna get “awakenings” and new moves during important battles. Though perhaps Danger Sense itself is a misunderstood and poorly named power. Wouldn’t be the first time a quirk wasn’t aptly named or known by its wielder.
Anyway. A few chapters back, Horikoshi introduced the idea that both Ochako and Izuku (and Shoto!) view the villains as humans. While that’s a big first step, it turns out to be … not very useful in actually making change happen. Humans are complex creatures motivated by many different things. Ochako recognized that what’s obvious to her isn’t obvious to Toga, but can’t put her finger on what IS obvious to Toga. Once that breakthrough happens, they can start to relate. Toga has said outright that she loves Izuku and Ochako, but Ochako couldn’t believe that because Toga’s always trying to stab them. Now, between Danger Sense and Ochako’s observations, I think both Izuku and Ochako are grasping how Toga sees the world.
Tumblr media
…..Okay, before we go on….this final sentence isn’t 100% true. Toga will carve someone up out of love, yes, but she will also kill in self-defense, to avoid getting caught by authorities, and out of rage/revenge in extreme circumstances. Sometimes she kills when she needs someone’s blood to transform (the woman during Toya’s war fight with Ochako) and sometimes she doesn’t (Camie, Rock Lock, Aizawa).
Where does Toga’s confession leave us??? Well, I’m really glad we get a new chapter early, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to continue the Toga storyline since Ochako and Izuku are on the magazine cover. But, speaking of things that are not obvious… I have NO idea how Horikoshi will handle this. I hope Izuku and Ochako can gently talk Toga down (while battling Moonfish and the Nomu, hehe). If Toga truly loves them, and if she truly wants them to live a good, long life with her, then she can’t keep trying to stab them. But maybe Izuku and Ochako can voluntarily give Toga a vial of blood and show her it’s not the love or the blood that’s the problem; it’s really the random stabbing.
Like many other fans, I do hope this doesn’t turn into Toga and Ochako fighting over Izuku’s love, or immediately turning into a romance for Izuku and Ochako. I also don’t want Izuku and his powers to overshadow what Ochako can do. In fact, if IzuOcha will be canon, I’d like this to be a chance for Izuku to see Ochako help Toga. Like he understands what’s happening because of his Danger Sense insight, but he’s not equipped to help Toga the way Ochako is, so she takes the lead. Seeing Ochako be a hero, and save a villain in a way he hasn’t yet been able to, would be a good way for Ochako to inspire Izuku. And if Izuku decides he needs to be a bit more like Ochako as he approaches Shigaraki, then there’s something meaningful connecting the two (plus, thematically, it ties back to inspiration vs imitation). That said, I don’t think BnHA needs any endgame romantic pairs for the story to be complete, and I’d rather there be no romantic pairs than some last minute shoehorned pairings. But I’m still along for the ride no matter what because dammit I love these characters.

First Date
Tumblr media
This is reupload from my old blog!
request by @therealpotatobish
TodoDeku x Fem! Reader
Tumblr media
Date with Todoroki and Midoriya is, to put it mildly - chaos. Where do I start?
First we have Todoroki. Very handsome young man with two-tone hair and eyes. We all know that Shoto is not familiar with many things, his childhood was not very colorful and rosy, not at all.
He has not seen his parents take care of each other or behave like a couple, so he is not very familiar with how to treat a person he likes.
He didn’t even realize he liked Midoriya when he was still a student at U.A. It was good that there were his sister to explain to him what those feelings were.
We have already seen that he takes things seriously and does not understand jokes or metaphors, so it takes time to work with him.
Certainly his relationship with Izuku helped him a lot. He showed him what love, care and empathy are, but for him things are complicated again. He and Izuku will date a woman, a woman they have been in love with since their school years in the U.A. Shoto doesn’t know how to treat a woman and what they would like.
We also have the next one, namely Midoriya. Our broccoli boy has remained the same shy young man, despite his fame as the new No.1 hero, this part of him has not changed.
He would certainly do better than Todoroki, but his still shy nature worries him that he won’t be able to talk to you.
They are both worried about your reaction to everything. They have never heard that you like someone, nor have there been rumors that you are with someone, they didn’t even know if you like boys !? Nevertheless, you accepted their invitation to a date, at least they managed to make it clear that they were inviting you to a date, a DATE, and you were fine with that.
Now was the date where they would know if they had a chance with you, and here they were, sitting at the reserved table, waiting for you to come.
21:27p.m
Deku kept a close eye on his watch, looking at every minute. They had arrived about ten minutes ago and were sitting nervously at the table, well, Izuku was moving nervously, and Shoto was sitting meekly, staring at one dot, trying to keep his mind tidy and clear.
-“She will come, Midoriya, our dateis at 9:30p.m.” Todoroki exclaimed, grabbing his boyfriend’s hand under the table to reassure him.
-“Ah, I know, Shoto-san, but that doesn’t make me any less nervous.” the green-haired man replied, smiling at his partner. -“We have been waiting for a long time for the chance to invite her and the fact that she agreed and now we will have a date makes me feel surreal. It’s as if I’ve finally reached a goal that I thought was impossible. It’s very strange that happens, I still consider it unrealistic.”
The two-colored man looked at him with surprised heterochromic eyes. Despite their years together, the things they went through could not be compared to that. And the fact that Deku feels that way surprises him. He is also surprised that he was able to describe how he felt too.
It felt like he was 17 again in his 2nd year at U.A. When he shared his feelings to Midoriya. Confused, scared, excited. He never believed that he would fall in love or be able to be a partner, the love of someone else.
A small smile crept across his face. Todoroki leaned over to his partner, leaning his head on his shoulder. Their physique has changed and evolved over the years. Already in his mid-twenties, Deku had grown much taller than his school years. He was now towering over Shoto.
Midoriya smiled, leaning against Shoto, planting a kiss on his white and red hair.  The two parted, looking up at a door that could be heard opening and closing. 20:30, you arrived just in time.
You looked around the restaurant in confusion, looking for your table. Midoriya instinctively raised his hand, waving at you and shouting. -“(Y/n)-chan!” you looked up at them, a wide smile appeared on your face, bringing butterflies into the stomachs of both heroes.
-“Hey, Deku, Sho!” you replied, going to them.
Midoriya wanted to make a good impression by taking your jacket and pulling your chair backward to sit, but you came like a whirlwind, sitting hastily in the seat in front of them. Obviously there will be no good first impression.
-“Oh, I was in such a hurry so as not to be late.” you started, removing your jacket, leaving it on the back of the chair. - “I was nervous not to be late because there was a traffic jam on the road. After I managed to park it took me time to find the restaurant and…”
Deku waved his arms in front of him, trying to reassure you that you weren’t late, sharing his own worries about not being late. So you two became a muttering mess, and Todoroki rested his chin on his hand, happily watching the scene in front of him. Cute.
-“You are not late, you have nothing to worry about.” the two-colored man called out of nowhere, stopping you and Izuku.
-“It’s good to know.” you said calmly, leaving your hands on the table. -“Long time no see.”
-“Since our graduation in the U.A.” added the green-haired man, rubbing the back of his head.
-“What’s happen with you? I last heard you joined Selkie’s agency.” you nodded in agreement to Shoto.
-“Yes, my quirk would be very welcome in sea battles.”
-“Are you adapting fast?” Deku asked cheerfully.
-“Yes, the hero Manual is there too. We have some pretty similar quirks, so he was so kind to help me adapt.” you replied, controlling the water in your glass with your quirk, making it take the shape of a snake and move along the walls of your glass in a circle.
-“This is very good.” exclaimed the hero, tying his hands on the table.
They both felt a little awkward, not knowing how to continue the conversation, fortunately the waitress saved them by giving them the menus. You opened the menu of hard leather covers, looking at the variety of foods.
-“Oh, hey, Sho, they have a cold soba.” you said excitedly, showing him the menu on the first page.
-“So I’ll order a cold soba.” the two-colored man replied before receiving muttering from Midoriya.
-“But, Sho, we have a whole pot full of soba!” you laughed at their interaction, attracting their attention.
-“What?” they both asked at the same time.
-“Nothing, you just haven’t changed since we graduated from the U.A.” you said with a laugh. Deku giggled too, smiling at you.
-“What do you mean? We look the same way we did 7 years ago?” Todoroki asked confusedly, looking at himself and his boyfriend and again to himself. You and Izuku looked at each other and almost fell from your seats with your boisterous laughter. -“Ah?”
-“O-oh…. Sho!” tears formed in the corners of your eyes, wiping them with your hand. -“You’re still funny!”
-“Funny?”
-“Yes.” the green-haired man replied, leaning his head on his partner’s shoulder.
The three of you ordered a teishoku, receiving it in about 30 minutes. Everyone enjoy their food before Todoroki calls.
-“(Y/n), do you see our old class?” you swallowed your food before answering.
-“Yes, even with some very often.” you said, playing with your chopsticks, twisting them between your fingers and doing tricks with them. -“Most often I go out with Kaminari, by some chance it turned out that we work in the same agency.”
-“Kaminari-san?” Deku exclaimed, looking at you in astonishment. You nodded, uttering a little “Uhm.”
-“All right, that’s nice! We haven’t heard from Denki.”
-“Are you close to each other?” Shoto asked, taking another bite of his meal.
-“I’d say yes. We go out often, we message to each other, he’s very cute. He’s also grown a lot from UA, he’s become more responsible and he controls his quirk much better. We have a lot of fun together. We have dinners for us, in which we are on the couch at my or his home and eating popcorn while watching scary movies. "you said with a smile on your face.
-"Oh, I understand…” Todoroki replied, bowing his head over his food, hiding his face through his hair, which he had left to grow for reaching a length where he could tie it in a bun.
Izuku reached under the table, gripping his boyfriend’s thigh, rubbing it lightly to offer support. He knew his boyfriend’s lack of confidence in relationships. He has always worried about whether he is doing well as a partner and doing everything right.
Talking about a boy (and you’re not the person who talks a lot or often about people, especially boys), who is the opposite of his personality and sees that you’re really having fun with him, feels like someone hit him with wet rag across the face.
-“And you guys…” you called, bringing them both back to reality. -“How are you? The press is very interested in your relationship.” you smiled slyly.
-“So… After we graduated from UA, Shoto and I went to Endeavor’s agency, as his partners in catching villains. That was until we turned 22, All Might offered to take his agency… And I took it.” he replied, scratching the back of his head where his undercut was. -“The press found out about my relationship with Todoroki when I took the agency and there were hundreds of news stories that said, ‘Hero No.1 is in a relationship with Endeavor’s son’.”
-”O!?”
-“Yes, and still receives dozens of emails a day, invitations for interviews about our relationship.”
-“It’s too much for you. The press hasn’t learned for so many years that the heroes have a private life that they usually keep to themselves and don’t want to make it public. The personal space of the heroes must be respected.” you said and turned to Todoroki. -“And for so many years as a pro-hero, people have kept leading you the 'son of Endeavor,’ and that’s all you’re known for.”
-“It’s annoying.” Todoroki replied, making you and Deku giggle a little.
-“Well, those are just words from older people in Japan.” the green-haired man exclaimed, rubbing his boyfriend’s thigh. -“I am sure that the young generation will remember you with your name and your deeds.”
-“You’re right.” said his partner.
-“Ah, (Y/n)-san, do you happen to be in a relationship or dating someone?” Midoriya asked you. Shoto immediately ran one hand under the table, squeezing his thigh - too early, Midoriya.
-“O!?” you opened your eyes wide to them from the sudden question. -“No, I’m not in a relationship, I’m not dating anyone. Why do you ask?”
-“Uhhh…” and now was the scariest part of this meeting - to tell you. Shoto looked at Izuku out of the corner of his eye, looking for an answer as to what to do. -“With Shoto we wanted to ask you something…”
-“Yes…” you said under your breath.
-“Would you like to be with us?” Todoroki asked suddenly, leaning back in his chair.
You and Deku looked shocked at the two-colored man. You dropped your chopsticks as you watched Sho like you saw a ghost. Izuku immediately started waving his arms, trying to reassure you, saying that they were not forcing you to be in relationship with them, that they would not be in a hurry, that they would not be angry if you refused, and ect.
It just took you a moment to process Shoto’s question. They wanted to date you? Really? You were like close friends during your school years, but you didn’t think they had any other than platonic feelings about you. They were both open and comfortable, both shy and anxious around you or when talking to you. You wouldn’t be lying if you said you didn’t have feelings for them in the U.A., but once you found out they were in a relationship, it discouraged you a lot.
-“So?” Todoroki called again.
-“Sho, calm down, give her ti…”
-“Yes.” you replied, getting “Uh!?” from them. - “I accept, I would like to date you.”
-“Really?” Midoriya asked in surprise.
-“Yes…” you said, tying your hands on the table. -“I would just ask for time to get used to, as this will be my first relationship in my life, especially with more than one person.”
-“We’ll give you all the time you need.” Todoroki said, taking your hand in his. Where did you get this confidence? - Izuku wondered.
-”Thanks.”
-“So… should we continue our dinner to celebrate our relationship?” the green-haired man asked cheerfully.
-“Yes!” you and Shoto answered at the same time.

Hi! I’m back again! 🥺You know how heartwarming it is seeing little black girls have representation/idols? Princess Tiana, Susie Carmichael, and even Orange Blossom are some of my top examples growing up and I would love head cannons of Hawks, Bakugo, Aizawa, and Mirio reacting to their black!fem!pro-hero crush gushing as she meets a few young (like 5-8 years old to make it cuter) black girls wearing her merch or looking at her in pure awe to see someone that looks like them is a pro-hero. They could be patrolling or just minding their business and they hear this little queen just squeal in joy as Y/N is like “Oh, Come here, Baby! 🥺”. Sis doesn’t care where they’re at; She will hug, give an autograph, and spoil the angels! She’s not even a high ranking hero and to see she’s already giving representation just makes her heart burst when she hears the magical words of “You look like me! 😃”
I Want To Be Just Like You!
Now, I know you said you wanted it to be just designated to little black kids, but I had to spice it a bit and include all races. I hope that’s okay! Thank you for requesting and I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Soft Moments
————————————————————————————————————————
Tumblr media
* Mirio already took notice to your rising popularity within the hero society.
* That’s what he came to fall for though, how much effort you’d always put in to your work and how you were constantly saving someone or ready to. His speed was unmatchable to you.
* So, When you two were on patrol one afternoon, it wasn’t a surprise when he saw two little kids rushing over with papers in their hands.
* It was obvious that they just came from school due to the backpacks on their back, one thing was completely evident though.
* A little girl had a action figure of you in her other hand when she finally arrived in your view.
* “M-M-May I have your autograph?! Please!” She begged excitedly, her eyes sparking under the orange sun while holding a white notebook in her hands.
* You smiled, getting on your knees and took the pen from her hand. “What’s your name?” You questioned.
* “I’m (something similar to your hero name)!” She said with a absolute smile on her face. “And I want to be just like you! Maybe we can beat villains together and save people!” She said happily, her excitement obvious.
* “But I want to be a hero too!” Her friend whined, walking towards you.
* “You both can be heroes..and save the day together.” You replied, stopping their argument as they smiled brightly towards you. You listened to their talking about being a group team and how they’d love to be sidekicks of yours.
* You didn’t mind it a single bit, admiring thier words while he admired you from afar, his swelling crush growing bigger for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
* You and his relationship was now an exclusive one, especially after a few scandals and a near exposure.
* It was a small backlash at first but, things kinda smoothed out. It became a subject not to really worry about and something to be okay with.
* It was your off day when you and Keigo decided to go out for a date,something simple and fun.
* The random and strange idea to go shopping, you needed a few things and wanted to change a few things to your costume.
* Keigo didn’t mind because he wanted do buy a new pair of headphones since the ones around his neck broke during a fight with a villain.
* A few spent cash later, you had your items and he had his latest headphones. You and him were heading to the food court to grab a bite when you kept feeling that feeling.
* You instantly had your guard up because you felt a stare on you and god was it hard.
* You were about to activate your quirk when you spotted the eyes that stared at you behind the glass doors of a kid’s toy store. You waved but she ducked back behind the glass before looking at you again.
* “Come here honey.” You soothed, making her small eyes widened a bit. “Don’t be scared...” you added, easing your way to her height on the cold tile within the busy mall.
* Her small shoes tapped on the floor when she engulfed you into a hug, nearly jumping in your arms as she held you close. You giggled softly, seeing her random sign of affection.
* A older individual soon walked over and smiled, seeing you two together where she explained why she stared and why she’s hugging your body so tight. You were her destiny and the dream she wished to reach.
* Hawks couldn’t help but smile when the once shy child began to talk about the heroic acts you did, confidently. Your smile never left, his heart smiled knowing that you would make a great wife one day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
* It was hero’s day in UA academy, you were apart of the staff to assist with training the students in the best way you could.
* It pained you to replace Midnight’s place but you had to do what you had.
* Hero’s day was a day where you’d dedicate something to a hero you admired.
* As predicted, Deku made All Might a pretty cool cake with the help of his mother and a personal gift.
* Aizawa and everyone else got gifts. As well as students, especially Deku and Bakugo, well class 1A received a whole buffet from the townspeople they saved and a lump some of money.
* You didn’t mind the fact you hadn’t received anything really, you weren’t in the spotlight anymore and the issue with your quirk may being your easy ticket to your death.
* You definitely didn’t want that.
* “Alright Students! Gather your things and prepare for the bell!” You ordered, tapping your stacked homework papers to grade on your desk when the door opened.
* You glanced to see your fiancé walk in before looking away. You were used to his arrival because you and him would eat lunch together.
* You went back organizing your desk, not noticing the child that walked to you. “H/N?” A voice said, making you confused. You haven’t heard your hero name in a while and you turned to see a young girl, dressed exactly like you. Down to every last detail of your hero costume and hair.
* “Thank you for saving me and being my hero.” She said, holding a picture to you.
* When you first became a hero, your first successful action was a house fire, everyone was escorted out but her mother kept screaming about her missing daughter. You bravely ran back in and searched for her.
* You could remember screaming for her when she screamed back, you held her tightly while the wood snapped and began to fall. It was luck that you two came out alive.
* You were speechless while she smiled cheerfully at you, holding the infamous newspaper shot of her holding you tightly while you two laid in a hospital bed inside the ambulance together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
* It was rather normal for you and him to be on patrol together, it took a minute to earn his respect as well as he did to earn yours.
* You were a up and coming hero, certainly making a big impact within the community.
* You were defeating villains, becoming the first African American female to have an award in Japan for your hard work.
* You didn’t mind it though, you were destined to keep people and others safe like you always pushed yourself to do.
* Your feet tapped against the sidewalk when you saw a child at the playground.
* From the details in her costume, she was a fan of yours. She stood on top of the monkey chamber, in your hero pose as she looked up at the sky. “Ha! You can’t defeat me, I am H/N!” She announced before swooping down from the bars.
* The kids screamed while they ran around in circles with each other, you giggled softly watching them until her eyes locked on you. The moment she saw you. She dropped the toy as a crowd of kids follows her to you.
* It was a girls academy because it was a large crowd of young girls that proclaimed their love and passion for you, how they wanted to be just like you and to save others.
* You couldn’t help but admire how cute they were, even if some were still in their uniform. The little girl that’s as dressed as you, held a notebook in her hands. It was opened to a blank page.
* Without asking for their names, you simply signed in the book with your signature and a small message. “Believe in your dreams and strive for the best, I’ll be waiting when you graduate from UA’
* The girls loud screams and squeals they created when you and Bakugo continued walking made him rethink his negative thoughts about you. You weren’t suck up or anything, you wanted everyone to accomplish their dreams and be the greatest they can be. No matter who they are.

iida 😍😍😍 that’s it that’s the request
LMAO WELL HAVE I GOT THE 3 PART 7K FIC FOR YOU-
Stay tuned y’all, I’m posting all parts + true ending all at once HAHA
——————
Iida x reader - Iida Tenya’s Imaginary Boyfriend (pt.1)
⚠️Warnings - um...idk but, a teeny weeny bit of ooc Iida bc haha
Pronouns - male, he/him
Tumblr media
Part two can be found here!
The true ending can be found here! (Pt.3)
——————
Tapping your fingers on a surface repeatedly is a past time that Iida found rather irritable. Along with chewing or clicking on pens, bobbling your knee, fumbling with your hands, things like that.
Though, Iida couldn’t help himself from tugging and tapping on the light red watch strapped firmly to his wrist, checking it habitually.
Uraraka eyed Iida as he tiredly rubbed at the bridge of his nose, staring down the black clock hands as they moved too slowly for his liking. “8 more hours till I can see (L/n)-kun again...” he mumbled ever so quietly, pulling his grey sleeve back down.
He drummed his fingers on the side of his desk once more. Uraraka pursed her lips.
————
“Ne, Iida-kun, you look sort of...restless, these days. Did something happen?”
Iida looked up from his lunch. He hadn’t realized he was picking at his rice until Midoryia set a hand on his shoulder. He untensed and grasped his chopsticks correctly. “I assure you everything’s..alrig-“
“Who is ‘(L/n)-kun’, Iida?”
Uraraka butt in, both hands clenched and resting on the table. Iida stood silent for a tad too long.
“W-well I heard you mumble something about ‘8 more hours till I can see ‘(L/n)-kun’ again’ in class today a-and I was just wondering-“
“It’s no one you know.” Iidas voice was uncharacteristically dismissive and unstable. Two words that never would be used to describe Iida Tenya.
Iida abruptly rose from his seat. “I apologize. I need to do something.”
He briskly walked towards the exit of the cafeteria. Midoryia watched as he discreetly fumbled with the straps of a light red watch barely hidden by his blazer sleeve. He turned back to the table, to Uraraka and Todoroki.
“What do you think happened to Iida-kun? He barely seems like himself...”
“It’s been like that for about a month now, has it not?” Todoroki tapped on his chin with the butt of his chopsticks. Uraraka sighed.
“think it has something to do with this ‘(L/n)’ person?”
Todoroki shrugged. Midoryia sighed, bringing a forkful of rice into his mouth before stopping. “Actually, I think I remember Iida asking me about someone like, a month ago.”
“Was it ‘(L/n)-kun’?” Todoroki and Uraraka questioned, almost in unison. Midoryia let his fork drop back into his bowl. “I...I’m not sure. I think he was asking me about a name like...Ryota? No...Tadashi? No no, that wasn’t it...”
Midoryia rubbed at his chin, before a name popped into his mouth. “Oh! I remember! He asked me...”
———
“...Midoryia-kun, have you seen (L/n)-kun this morning? I haven’t seen him and he has my Quirk-Law textbook.”
Midoryia looked at Iida like he grew a second head. “...gomen, who?
It was Iida’s turn to look confused. He stopped eating his breakfast and faced Midoryia fully. “...(L/n)-kun. (L/n) (Y/n)?”
“Theres no one here named that, Iida-kun...” Midoryia awkwardly gulped down his water, filling his mouth to prevent him from accidentally saying something harsh. He wasn’t sure if he was in the wrong, or Iida was just plain on delusional.
Iida pursed his lips and turned to Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Todoroki. Perhaps Midoryia was just feeling a bit amnesic. Plus, (Y/n) was real close with Uraraka, even if it was slightly to close for his liking. So, she was bound to be able to answer Iidas inklings, right?
“Uraraka-kun, surely you’ve seen (L/n)-kun this morning, am I wrong? A-and what about you, Tsuy-I mean Tsu-chan. Todoroki-kun.”
All three of them gave him the same look of disarray Midoryia had gave him. Tsuyu shook her head while Todoroki grunted out a “no.” Uraraka pitifully set a hand on Iidas shoulder.
“Iida, are you feeling alright? There’s no one here named ‘(L/n)’...”
“Sure there is!” Iida was starting to get a little frazzled. Is this some kind of sick joke? If it was, he’d be willing to laugh it off right now. Surely any second, (L/n) would come running down, claiming he overslept and scarf down his breakfast. Where was he? He was waiting.
One by one, everyone surrounding Iida started to oogle at him, watching as their level headed class rep unraveled at the seams. “W-why must you all look at me like I’m crazy! Have you all forgotten about your own classmate?!”
Iida cursed himself for raising his voice. He let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding while Yaoyorozu silently counted all the people eating breakfast.
“...19...20. Yeah, no, everyone’s here. All 20. We have not forgotten anyone, Iida-san.”
Iida grit his teeth, a wave of worry piercing down his spine. “20? You can’t have counted 20 in this class if you have not counted (L/n)-kun!”
Everyone copied the look of confusion Iidas friends made. He broke into a cold sweat, grasping at the corners of the table. “(L/n)! (H/c) hair? (E/c) eyes? Accidentally stepped on Bakugou-kuns toe and had to be sent to the nurses office last week?”
People murmured and shook their heads amongst themselves. Some with genuine confusion and others with plain worry. Iida’s lost it, is what their probably thinking.
Iida stammered. “H-how can-“
“Iida-chan, don’t you think we would’ve known if we forgot someone? And don’t you think it’s weird we all collectively forgot this person you’re talking about? Sorry to say, Iida-chan, but this (L/n) person most likely isn’t real. Or we just don’t know him, kero.”
Iida opened his mouth to say something. Tsuyu looked at him with her blank stare, before subtly gesturing to everyone else with her head. He looked around the table.
Everyone either nodded tentatively or downcast their eyes as to mask their pitiful agreement. Everyone seemed to silently agree with her. Iida was stunned into submission.
He scrambled out of his seat. His voice cracked in disbelief. This was a joke. It had to be. “I-I’m going to go wake him up. He’s...he’s probably still sleeping. That’s all. You all are just being delusional.”
He walked as calmly as he could away from the common room, but once he turned the corner, he started sprinting. He hiked up the fabric of his pants over his calves as he ran, running up the stairs next to the elevator. The elevator would’ve took too long.
Running up to the fourth floor, he skidded to a halt in-front of (Y/n’s) dorm. Iida’s hand went up to grasp the doorknob, before hesitating and letting it rest flaccidly on the handle.
“(L/n)-kun?” Nothing was heard or called from inside the room. He really is a heavy sleeper. Iida swallowed the growing lump in his throat. Why was he so nervous?
Outside (Y/n’s) room, he knocked gently on the frame of the door. His voice wavered. “(L/n)!”
There’s no response.
“(Y/n)-kun!”
Nothing.
He really didn’t want to enter his room like this. It was a breach of privacy. What if he was just changing? No, if he were changing he could’ve surely heard him knock and call out his name. He has to be asleep.
He really left him no choice. Iida gently opened the door.
“...(y/-“
White.
He was face to face with an white, blank, empty room. The supplementary provided curtains were drawn closed and there was dust gathering around the bare floorboards. There was no trace of the dimly lit room, with papers strewn across the wooden desk and a bed that was never folded or made. There was no trace of the oddly sweet smell that came from his room, that never really bothered anyone, but no one ever knew was caused it.
There was no trace of (L/n) (Y/n).
Iida felt his knees buckle from underneath him. His legs promptly folded together, his engines digging into the skin of thighs. His jaw went slack. He heard footsteps echoing closer, eventually dying out with the assumption that that someone was behind him. He felt uneasy. He felt like throwing up.
“Iida...?” Uraraka’s voice was soft, like treading on thin ice. He heard Yaoyorozu hum softly, worry lacing her vocal cords. He panned his head slowly towards them, not wanting to look at the blank room once filled with life anymore.
“He’s...gone.”
“‘He’ was never here, Iida-San” Yaoyorozu crouched down, tucking her elbows in. “Do you need to talk to a professional...?”
“No! I need to speak with (L/...” Iida’s voice trailed off. There was no point in fighting a losing battle. He knew Uraraka and Yaoyorozu wouldn’t believe him. No one seemed to.
“...most likely...”
———
Uraraka’s eyes widened. “I...I remember that!”
Midoryia shoveled some food into his mouth. “Yeah, he seemed really out of it since then. He didn’t even notice when Kaminari-kun cheated on last weeks quiz.”
“Don’t you think it’s odd he still hasn’t gotten over this person even after a month? Iida isn’t the type to dwell on things. Whoever this (L/n) person is, he’s obviously important to him in some way.” Todoroki slurped up more of his soba. Midoryia and Uraraka silently agreed.
“Well-Deku said it himself-this person isn’t real!” Uraraka knitted her eyebrows together, slumping back in her chair. “And even if we tried asking Iida, he’ll probably blow us off again...”
“Still...he got me curious...I wonder what ‘(L/n)-kun’ looks like...”
Midoryia’s ears perked up. He shuffled around in his pockets, fishing out his phone and booting up a search engine. Typing vigorously, Todoroki and Uraraka leaned over the table and across his shoulder to see what he was typing. His screen turned pink, displaying a website.
“M-My mom was talking about this place a few days ago...I-we could get some information out of Iida-if he lets us take him-and know what (L/n)-kun looks like-!”
The bell rang, cutting Midoryia off promptly. He saved the address down in his notes, sending the web address to his two friends and pocketing his phone once more. Todoroki set his tray on top of the trash can, dusting off his blazer.
“It’s decided. We’ll go after afternoon classes. I’ll go get a permission slip from Mr Aizawa to leave campus. I trust you two can convince Iida to come along?”
Midoryia and Uraraka nodded. It was a plan.
———
The four stood in front of a small corner shop, it’s sign looking like it was made of cheap plastic, with the words “Art through words” written in dark pink cursive.
It was very off putting, but it had been gaining popularity through social media and other networking apps. Apparently it’s very popular with people who lost a loved one or police looking for a sketch of a villain.
“I...still don’t see why you two requested my presence he-“
“We just wanna know something.” Was all Uraraka said. Midoryia and Todoroki had a firm grip on each of Iidas shoulder blades, shoving him in through the narrow door while Uraraka strut in happily.
The doorbell gave a small jingle. A pale, soft-eyed woman looked up from her desk, her reddish-pink lips quirking up into a soft smile. Her wavy blond hair flowed as she stood up from her chair, leaning over the receptionist desk and resting her elbows on the surface.
“I take it you must be ‘Izuku’. Thank you for calling earlier.”
Midoryia hummed. The lady smiled warmly, leaving her desk to lead them to a door. “Well, follow me, kids. Sorry, my receptionist is on break-I don’t want you to think I’m some sort of scam arti-“
“No no, we’ve seen you around on videotube...and your quirk is amazing...”
“I’m sorry, may I ask who and what we are doing here?”
Everyone turned to Iida. The woman smiled gently, taking a seat behind a sketchbook propped up by an easel. The 4 took a seat across from her, sinking down into a pink couch. “I apologize. Let me give you my formal greeting.”
“My name is Kaitekina Byouga. I can illustrate anything someone describes with complete accuracy, as long as you aren’t lying about your description.” Iida pursed his lips.
“My business usually caters towards people who lose loved ones, so it’s strange to see such...young teenagers in my studio,”
Iida stiffened. He finally caught on. ‘Lost loved one’. It was obvious. He supressed a pointed glare at his friends, choosing to adjust his glasses instead.
“Alright,” Kaitekina flipped open her sketchbook, setting it back down on the easel. “Who’s going to describe something to me?”
Everyone gestured at Iida.

So @musicfeedsmysoul12 made that post answering a fic title prompt, with the whole "izuku has a quirk that gives him a tail", they specifically mentioned a monkey tail. I love monkeys and I love Izuku so of course I tacked on and ended up assigning a monkey type, as well as aspects of the quirk, and how it changes/affects Izuku. Of course, I had to draw at least something for it. Doodles for Monkey Quirk! Izuku! Featuring a quickly put together design for his hero costume.
Tumblr media
(Click for better quality)
The original concept technically belongs to @musicfeedsmysoul12 and the anon who sent the prompt, but I was the one who added everything on about the quirk so under the cut I added some details, world building, and timeline changes that I thought of while I was drawing.
Quick warning, I wrote a lot.
I mentioned the monkey type he'd be most like are Capuchins, but that's more just a base of what the quirk is like, and not exactly what it replicates. Kinda like Hawks and Miruko. Hawks is named after just that, a hawk, but his wings don't have any specific bird-like features or patterns aside from having feathers. He really strays far from that, actually, with how the feathers work. Same with Miruko, she's not based on a specific kind of bunny or hare. She just has the standard ears, legs, and senses of one.
His body type would definitely be slimmer than canon Izuku, as his body had to adapt to the fact that he's constantly twisting and bending to get where he wants. Canonically, Izuku's body is a little too... I don't want to say stocky, but it's certainly not lithe. Make no mistake, this does not mean he lacks muscle. He has a lot more muscle in middle school than canon Izuku did at the time, this comes from constantly having to carry and swing his own body weight.
His entire body is covered in a thin layer of fur, but it's absent in his heels, palms, and under fingers on both his hands and feet. Fur would get in the way of gripping.
I kind of debated on which parent he gets the quirk from, because a mutation quirk like that has very low chances of being one a person can get with parents with non-mutant quirks. I decided on Hisashi. First of all, the idea just wouldn't leave my brain, and it was too cute. I headcanon Hisashi with white hair, so he'd just be this big fluffy white monkey and I couldn't let that go. Second, I think it'd be an interesting way for class 1A or others to learn about Izuku's dad in America by trying to speculate where Izuku got his quirk from. Sure, their face shapes are similar, they're both kind and emotional people, and both have green hair, but Izuku how the hell did you inherit a monkey mutation quirk from a low-range attraction one??
Honestly, I don't think Izuku would really have as many problems with bullying in this AU. Yes, people have speculated that mutant quirks are not exactly welcome wholly with open arms i the MHAverse, but Izuku's quirk is pleasing to look at. He's cute, and the quirk is actually pretty dang helpful. While people would poke fun at him, calling him hairy, or treat him like an animal or pull at his tail, it's certainly not enough to warrant suicide baiting. He'd definitely be self conscious of his quirk and appearance though. Honestly, most of it would be led by Bakugou like always, so it's not that anyone really sees Izuku as bad or anything of the sort, they're just following Bakugou's lead.
I also don't think he'd have the nickname Deku. Mutant quirks (or at least mutant features of quirks) had to be something that a person was born with, because honestly I find it very hard to believe that someone's body can change so drastically like that. That's bone that's actively changing and molding, not just skin, hair, cartilage, and brains. That would cause some serious health concerns, even in a world with powers like quirks. So Izuku was never really "useless" to Bakugou. He was helpful, he could climb trees other kids couldn't to get stuck toys. He could hear things even teachers didn't know about even through loads of kids yelling. He wouldn't have any reason to be called useless, because he earned the knowledge that at that time, he was more capable than the other kids. Maybe something like Ape, Gorilla, or even going really derogatory and referring to him like he's a freak in a circus act. Juggles, Freak, Hairy, Caveman. Those sorts.
I imagine Izuku would practice martial arts here, much like Ojiro. His quirk would certainly help him. He's be stuck close-range, with his fists and feet (and tail) so he'd have to learn how to actually fight, as opposed to people like Todoroki, who can blast fire and ice from a safe distance away. That's why he wears the fingerless gloves on his hands and feet in his hero costume, to protect the skin and fur if he's fighting or gripping. Bonus brass knuckles attached to the gloves on his hands for when he wants to throw a punch.
I don't see any possible way he could get his dreams crushed by All Might, much less have such an important question that would require him to grab onto his leg when he jumps. So Izuku more than likely doesn't get One For All, at least not before UA, if he ever does. I also don't think Izuku would idolize All Might so much. Yeah, he'd still admire the guy, but he'd probably be more focused on people like Hawks, Gang Orca, and Miruko. They have mutant quirks like his, they're people he can actively look up to. So even if he did have his dreams crushed by All Might, it certainly wouldn't affect him as much as it did in canon (not that it did much anyway lol, Izuku went right back to jumping into fights to save people)
The original prompt said that Ojiro would be a partner for Izuku, but I see some missed opportunities for ships with Shoji, or Tokoyami. Hell, I could even see it working out with Sero, Kirishima, and Asui.
Shoji and Tokoyami probably faced some bullying for their appearances. Shoji literally hides his entire lower face. Izuku would definitely be able to connect with them. Sero, in the fandom, has been called a Spiderman bootleg more times than I've drank water in my entire life. He'd definitely try to swing around for faster mobility and who best to help him with that than Izuku? They would so easily bond over teaching each other swinging tactics. Kirishima... it's kind of hard to put that into words, it just really feels like it could work in this AU. He;d be like a stable perch for Izuku, is I guess part of my thought process. And for Asui, well, she didn't have many friends in middle school. People often saw her as disturbing because of her struggle to express emotions through her face. Izuku faced something similar. The two would understand one another.
Though I still really like Ojiro pairing here too. Izuku would probably help him feel noticed, and we all know how compassionate and caring the greenette is. He'd be great for Ojiro.
Izuku would probably go for being an underground hero here? I also see him easily making it to at least the top 20 when he graduates, his quirk is pleasing to the eye and he's already great hero material in every way. But I also think he'd be an expert at sneaking into places that would normally be locked from access to heroes, seeing as he can pull and hold himself in places he could hide better in. I guess he'd be a twilight hero. Not quite underground, but not quite limelight. Just treading the line between them, kind of like Sir Nighteye.
That's all I have so far, but I love this so much. I definitely want to expand more on it and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up writing something for it.

You’re Secretly a Villain and You Betray Him | Midoriya Izuku
Tags; Angst, Betrayal, Mild Language, Sad Deku, Aged Up Pro-Hero
Masterlist
“It’s getting really dangerous out there.” He says setting the remote control on the coffee table turning to you. “Promise me you won’t fight this one. Please, Y/n.”
The look in his eyes is serious, pleading for the first time in a long time.
“Izuku. I can’t just sit here. You know I can’t. It’s a hero’s job to serve and protect.”
Your lips fold into a fine line as he rubs his temples.
Izuku had a hard time telling you no. To him, you were perfect. You were made for him and he couldn’t dare glance at another soul in the same way.
“I know, Y/n.” His voice softens when he takes your hand. “Please. Just this one. Please don’t go after them. I can’t-“
“You can’t what, Izuku? Can’t see me taking your spotlight? Can’t see me fighting a ‘dangerous’ villain? Do you think I’m only here for petty crime?”
“No. That’s not what I meant, Y/n and you know that.”
He always hate it though; when you challenged him. He just wanted what was right. He only wanted to protect you and keep you safe.
“Then what is it? You can’t see me win this one? What is it, Midoriya?”
“I can’t lose you.” He cuts you off running his thumb along your knuckle. “Just this one. Promise me I won’t catch you fighting this villain.” He pleads hiding his face with budding tears.
You sign and hang your head.
That was your weakness. You adored his sensitive side, how he cared so much about the people in his life... the passion he had escaping through his pores.
There’s a brief moment of silence, the guilt eating at you with shame.
“Fine.” You give in and he eyes you. “I won’t go after them.”
He jumps to his feet and embraces you with the tightest of hugs, pressing his lips against your temple.
“Thank you, Y/n. This is all I ask of you.” He mumbles into your hair, feathering sweet kisses along your luscious locks. Those same locks he would carve his fingers through every night before you fell asleep.
“But don’t you die out there.” Your tone was sickening slick, the venom hardly withholding itself.
“I’m always coming home to you. You know that, Angel.” He releases you with a humbling smile. “There’s no one else I’d rather see than you.”
You swallow hard and nod.
“Besides, once this villain is taken care of, I’m taking you away. We’re going on vacation. Away from Japan to some tropical island with coconuts and sandy shores.” He laces his fingers with yours. “Can you imagine it? Just some time away with you and me. We can relax and I can see your banging body in that two piece you bought a while ago.” He paints his dream in the air between you with a flick of his wrist.
That was his signature gesture; to always be touching you. You were his security blanket. As long as you were by his side, nothing could go wrong.
With you, everything made sense. The sky was blue and flowers were his favorite fragrance; you know, because your perfume was the most floral of scents.
There was no way to deny he was smitten by you since the first time he laid eyes on you.
However, you had a secret. A dark one at it. His natural good made it harder for you to not feel shameful around him. Izuku is the golden boy. He’s the golden retriever of super heroes. Always there to make sure good won and evil was subsided.
But how were you going to tell him that the masked villain who has destroyed civilians lives was actually his bride to be?
That would shatter him.
You weren’t going to let him know the quirk he sees, illusionist, isn’t your only quirk. Your marionettist quirk, the ability to control another person with a strand of their hair like a puppet, was the quirk you obtained from your mother.
You stare at him projecting the vacation of his dreams into his mind.
“Just like that. You always know what I’m thinking.“ The grasp on his fingers tug a little tighter, like his his heart strings giving an extra tug. “You’re the best.” He brings your hand to his chest so you can feel his beating heart. “I love your quirk. I love everything about you.”
He brings his hand holding yours to his lips and kisses every knuckle you have.
Little does he know, at this very moment you had an explosion ready to go off. A time bomb that you set to not give away your alibi. He jumps to his feet ready for action.
“Leave it to them to ruin a good time.“ He groans and runs to the back room to find his suit. “Remember, you promised me you won’t go out there.“ He comes back out, one leg already in his suit. “I want you to stay here. I will see you when I get back.“
Both feet in, he secures the suit to his neck. “Stay away from the windows. Keep your phone on you at all time. If I call and tell you that you need to hide, you need to hide.”
He buckles the last of his suit and comes up to you one last time. With both his hands he grasps your face.
“I love you. You’re beautiful, stay safe.”
With that he runs out the door ready to save his city. You see the reminiscence of All Might in Deku’s facade. The way he admired him; with every ounce of his spirit engraved into Izuku’s soul.
In the back of your mind, it kills you to have to break his heart. Every time you leave the house; to embrace your side of the hero world -to crush every dream that he has- it hurts to deceive him just a little.
Only a little.
Then you leave yourself. You had to make sure Izuku was gone before you could spring into action.
Your suit was ready, the way you had your mask created to form a different shape and structure of your face was almost too clever.
You were known to be a silent villain. It was obvious you were female; the skin tight suit made it clear.
You liked it that way; the tighter the suit the better so it didn’t get in your way. You were inspired by Midnight and how her suit clung to her skin.
Another explosion was set to go off in the next ten minutes and you had to rush to the scene. This time, you needed a hostage, a victim. The building was set aflame and you made it in time to watch the pedestrians panic.
The chaos inspired the adrenaline in your blood to have you make rash decisions. Who can you have make a scene?
You watched over the crowd of people running for their lives when you feel a presence over your shoulder.
“Kurogiri, don’t do that.”
“What is that?”
“You. Just orbing in whenever you feel it.”
“Did you find the hero yet?”
The guilt stung in your gut; you knew what you were doing was wrong.
“He’s around here somewhere.”
“But are you sure? Have you seen him?”
“He is. Just trust me.” You groan watching the heroes begin to show up one by one.
You knew each and every one of them. Had they known you were a traitor... there would be no going back.
“Shoto...” You gasp, seeing the contradiction show up first. His red and white hair was glowing against the sunlight.
“Control him. Make him wish he were somewhere else.” Another voice, much more threatening appears behind you.
The guilt sets in. Shoto ate supper with you and Izuku last night. He helped you prepare the dishes. You can’t hurt him.
“Do it.” You feel four fingers begin to trace up your arm.
Checking out, your eyes focus on the heterochromatic man, checking into his thoughts. You project a picture, one of him suffering in his childhood. The sensation of his eye burning and his father treating him terribly is directed into his vision and his composure doubles over.
Cries of pain and surprise escape from his mouth when he drops. He covers his eye and then he shows to his aid.
Green hair, red cuffs around his ankles, freckles on his cheeks. The warmest hugs and forgiving arms... will he forgive you?
He surprises you and instantly your quirk is thrown off.
Shoto stands and catches his breath and you can see Deku looking around.
He knows you. He studied you.
Where are you?
He scans the high grounds, on top of the buildings and you want to believe he’ll look over you.
You cast your quirk into his vision in hopes of avoiding him. He looks confused, where you casted the illusion of no one being here, and yet he fights it off. He knows that feeling.
Shoto looks around and nudges his arm, pointing in your direction.
“Oh shit.” You panic while Kurigiri leaves “Shit.” Deku uses his quirk and begins to blast himself on your level.
You play with his vision again, attempting to make him miss his landing. But you can’t, you can’t hurt him. Your quirk is broken by your thoughts and you stumble backwards.
Izuku lands in front of you and immediately makes his way to you.
“Don’t you move.” He warns and you step backwards ready to leave.
You can’t break contact with him. You need his attention. However you must remain silent.
“Who are you? What’s your name? What do you want?” He begins to follow you. Speed was not your strength. You weren’t very tall and focused more on your mental abilities over physical.
He tackles you to the ground and has you binded under his grasp.
You try your quirk one more time. But having to use it so much over the last few minutes has worn you down. You catch his glance for two maybe three seconds just enough to shift him off guard when he notices something.
The image you casted, it was only something you would know. You shoot him a glance of where he would go when things got bad. It’s a spot in his head where he would mumble and think about things that no one else would even know to think of.
It brought him to a safe spot. Because at that very moment, he’s going to feel destroyed if he takes off your mask. And that’s the last thing you want him to do.
That feeling of confusion, the déjà vu takes over his body. He sits up, lets go of your arm and brings his fingers to your mask.
You hold your breath and watch him unveil your secret.
“Y/n...” he stutters in disbelief, dropping your mask to the side. He looks down at your body then back to your face. The look a betrayal is all you see in those dark green eyes.
“How could you do this to me?”
His hand slides slowly to your neck. His jaw drops speechless as he tries to think of a way to talk to you. His eyes shift from one of yours to the other. He’s in shock.
“You are my world, Angel. How can you hurt me like this?“ The grip on your neck tightens slightly then he releases you. “I want to hurt you so bad right now.“
His eyes begin to water as you stare cold at him.
“You can’t give me an explanation.” He shakes his head in disbelieve. “I trusted you. I trusted you with my life, Y/n.”
He sits on his heels, still holding you down. His eyes glance at the engagement ring he bought you four months ago.
“We’re supposed to start a family together. We’re supposed to…“ He starts but his voice gets stuck in his throat. “You’re supposed to be mine forever.“
The look in front of you breaks your heart. You didn’t want this to happen but you knew it was going to, it was just a matter of time.
His cheeks begin to redden, with his cute freckles that decorate them delicately.
“Izuku…“ You start with your hand grazing to his hair. You can choose between your fingers, when he smacks your hand away.
“No! Don’t touch me. You don’t deserve to touch me. How can you do this to me?”
He continues to ask you over and over again. “I trusted you. I freaking trusted you. How can you do this to me?“ Tears stream down his face now, then you realize you still have a job to do. You stare at him, absorbing the hair into your palm. As you watch him stand up he looks at you in disbelief. “What are you doing to me? Stop it.” He stands, stiff as a board where he can’t move his face at all. You watch him with your saddest eyes, leaving a kiss on his lips.
“Izuku. It wasn’t my choice.”
A purple orb is created behind you, Kurigiri opening the portal and you can almost hear Deku’s heart breaking.
“Angel...” He says one last time before you enter the portal.
His broken face watches as you enter the portal, matching yours completely.
The only thing that was in your control, was they wanted you to kill him, and you said no. But right now, seeing the broken look on his face, you think that may have been easier.

Kiribaku: I Don’t Hate You
Author’s Note: Okay, so I meant to post Part 3 to When He Sees Me today but I’m not doing so hot mentally, so I wrote a vent fic of my favorite ship instead! Hope you enjoy!
TW: suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, nightmares
Bakugou shot up in his bed, his knuckles clutching his sheet so hard that they turned white. Another nightmare. How pathetic. He should be over it by now. Nothing even fucking happened to him for fuck’s sake! Sure, he was kidnapped by the League but that was fucking months ago. They didn’t even touch him. All Might saved him.
It’s your fault he had to retire. Bakugou’s brain decided to remind him. Because you were too fucking weak to stop them. Because you act like a fucking villain. Nobody even wants a villain like you. Everybody hates you, and rightfully so. Remember how you treated Deku? Hell, how you still treat Deku? Well, why don’t you take your own fucking advice, huh? Go take a swan-
“Shut up,” Bakugou muttered to himself. “Like I give a damn what those extras think anyway.”
You’re wrong. You do care what they think. Fucking weakling.
Bakugou slowly got out of his bed, knowing he won’t be able to sleep after that nightmare, like the fucking weakling he is. He walked over to the dresser, where he knew the object was that could temporarily make his thoughts shut the hell up.
You know that’s just a sorry fucking excuse, right? His brain supplied for him. You’re just doing this to punish yourself for all the shitty things you’ve done. How much you fucking suck at everything. Why don’t you do it vertical this time? Everyone would be so much better off. I bet Deku would throw a fucking party.
Bakugou threw the drawer open, clutching the scissors in his left hand like a lifeline. He wasn’t going to kill himself. He’s not that fucking pathetic. Besides, that’s the easy way out. He still has to atone for what he’s done. He’s just punishing himself too. God knows he deserves it.
Scissors dig into his soft skin on his thighs, just enough to hurt like a bitch, but not bad enough to scar. Not bad enough for anyone to notice anything’s wrong. Because he can’t be seen as weak. 
Next thing he knows he’s crying and his thighs are bleeding a little bit. Nothing bandaids can’t fix. He’s fucking lucky he didn’t go deeper with how fucking angry he was at himself. He couldn’t risk drawing suspicion, especially with how often Shitty Hair Kirishima lays on them when he does his homework.
“Bakubro?” came Kirishima’s voice through the door. “You okay? You’re usually not up this late, bro.”
“Fuck off, Shitty Hair,” Bakugou shouted through the door. “I’m fucking fine.”
The crack in his voice betrayed him. Kirishima could tell that Bakugou was not, in fact, fine. It sounded like he had been crying.
“Open the door,” Kirishima said gently. “It doesn’t sound like you’re okay, Bakugou.”
“Why do you care?” Bakugou grumbled. 
“Because you’re my best friend,” Kirishima said, feeling his heart clench. How could Bakugou think he doesn’t care about him? Kirishima felt like he needed to come in, regardless if the angry blond opened the door or not. “I’m coming in.”
The door was unlocked.
“Wait, fuck, no!” Bakugou scrambled to cover his thighs before his friend could come in, but he was too late. 
“Ba-Bakugou?” Kirishima couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Bakugou’s thighs were marred with various straight, thin red lines, some of them were bleeding. It was clearly recent, really recent. Kirishima felt his heart shatter at the sight of his love of his life best friend. How could Kirishima have ignored how badly Bakugou was hurting?
“Fuck.” was the only word that came out of Bakugou’s mouth. He couldn’t even look at the spiky haired idiot. He was the last person Bakugou wanted to see him so weak. Kirishima always viewed him as strong, manly, an equal. Now that image had to be shattered for sure. Kirishima probably thought he was some crazy person. Who else takes a weapon to their own skin?
Bakugou was not expecting Kirishima’s arms to wrap around him, pulling him tightly against his chest. He didn’t expect for Kirishima to cry and apologize for not noticing how much Bakugou was hurting. 
“How long?” Kirishima’s eyes searched his own. 
“A couple months,” Bakugou averted his eyes. “Doesn’t matter.”
“Of course it matters,” Kirishima said softly. “You’re important to me, Bakugou.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re my best friend.” Because I love you, idiot. Kirishima knew better than to utter those words.
“I’m a bad person, Kirishima.” Bakugou pulled away from Kirishima, turning around. “You should go.”
“No, you’re not,” Kirishima said firmly. “And I’m not leaving.”
“I caused All Might to retire. I told Deku to kill himself. I had to be chained up at the fucking Sports Festival. Even the fucking villains think I’m one of them! How the fuck does that not make me a bad person?” Bakugou choked back a sob. He was not going to look even weaker by crying in front of Kirishima too.
“You...you told Midoriya to kill himself?” Kirishima blinked in surprise, but shook his head. “Nah, that doesn’t sound like you, man. That’s the Bakugou I know. It must’ve been awhile ago then, right?”
Bakugou merely nodded. “Why aren’t you mad at me?”
“You’re a good person, Bakugou,” Kirishima wrapped his arms around Bakugou again. “And you deserve to be happy. All Might retiring wasn’t your fault. The villains kidnapping you wasn’t your fault and whoever told you that is fucking wrong, Bakugou. And you aren’t the same person who told Midoriya to kill himself, not anymore.”
“Kirishima...” Bakugou blinked back tears. “Why?”
“I love you.” The words escaped his lips before he could think about what he was saying. It was too late now. “I know you probably only see me as a friend, but I love you, Bakugou. And I just want you to be happy.”
“I love you, too, Shitty Hair,” Bakugou knew he didn’t deserve Kirishima or his love. He didn’t deserve for Kirishima’s lips to crash into his. He didn’t deserve for Kirishima to hold him until he fell back asleep. He deserved to be alone.
But just this once, he allowed himself to be selfish. Because Kirishima wanted him to be.

Stan Twitter
[Midoriya + Todoroki + Bakugou + Kaminari] and their secret stan accounts.
Tumblr media
A/N:  Gender neutral reader and [H/N] stands for [Hero Name].  Aged-up AU and everyone is already a Pro-Hero. Kinda SMAU? 
Disclaimer: I recently became aware that the word “simp” has been appropriated from AAVE. As someone who is not from the black community, I genuinely apologize and I don’t have an excuse for my ignorance. I am removing it from these hcs! I consider myself an ally (but I clearly have a lot of work to do) and it is my own fault for not educating myself, which I hope to do more of in the future.
I also have to give credit where credit��s due I love @myherowritings​ ‘s SMAUs and was inspired to write this from their works so please check them out if you’re reading this!  
Tumblr media
Izuku Midoriya: 
Goes the whole mile. Has a [Name] stan account with 10k followers. Interacts with other [H/N] stans regularly. Retweets edits and compilations. Makes his own fancams and edits. 
Vote [H/N] for the top ten  @[H/N]might345  I am so lucky to be able to get the entire @official[Hero Name] x @Super_Groupies collaboration collection!! It sold out within minutes! 💨💨 It was kinda stressful haha. 😅 Thanks again to everyone who supported our favorite Hero! http://bit.ly/G4peUrTd36A
Vote [H/N] for the top ten @[H/N]might345 Thank you to tik tok user @rainbowinureye for giving me permission to post their playdate edit of [H/N]! It’s so well done and the cuts and the scenes line up perfectly 😊 http://m.tiktok.com/WrqKOXWpYbU  
Vote [H/N] for the top ten  @[H/N]might345 I made another [H/N] edit to the song “This is Love” by Illene Woods slowed and pitched version 😊💕💕 Please tell me what you think and how I can improve! http://bit.ly/dK9-c7QOcWg 
Of course it’s edited perfectly with all of the clips synced up perfectly?? It’s a byproduct from his All Might days. He’s still sure to respond to every person who gives him constructive criticism on how to improve his edits. 
Unintentionally becomes a meme?? Becomes known as the fanboy to end all fanboys. Like this guy is EVERYWHERE. He’s in the comments of every [H/N] funny moments and [H/N] battles but every fight is poorly edited to the sound of vines and every official interview posted by official YT channels. 
Stream Fine Line  @randomaccount360 The wildest thing about Twitter is that one [H/N] stan account that comes running whenever you mention their name. 
Vote [H/N] for the top ten @[H/N]might345 replying to @randomaccount360  hahaha! I am here! 😁
High-key people think that he’s one of those stalkerish fans?? Like he’ll post pictures of you eating at super close angles that no other news site has and it isn’t like a pic a fan has asked for either... it’s like a candid photo of you shoveling back food 
But you guys are legitimately dating?? He lives with you?? It’s just so embarrassing to know that he runs this popular stan account of you that you rarely bring it up asdfg ;; You ;; politely look away.  
Vote [H/N] for the top ten @[H/N]might345 Isn’t @official[Hero Name] the cutest? Here’s them eating the souffle pancakes at Flipper's! It was super good! http://bit.ly/fQE__7riZko
Mashomallow @mashomallowfood  replying to @[H/N]might345 OP how do you know what the pancakes taste like 
Pinky step on me @Minastannn replying to @mashomallowfood  OP pls respond it’s a legit question 
thehighground @ayeyeye  replying to @[H/N]might345  @official[Hero Name] if you are in danger please wink twice  
OHH if you get hate?? He will respectfully put that person in their place in the most eloquent way possible. Five pages, doubled-spaced, MLA format, works cited page. 
[H/N] > Deku >:(  @[H/N]might345  It has recently come to my attention that people online have been saying that Deku is a better hero than [H/N] and I am here to say that is not the case. Not only is pitting two heroes against each other extremely toxic but [H/N] has shown time and time again that they are the more successful Hero. [1/24] 
Show this thread 
He exposes himself by being tagged in those “Get to know them better” trends and it wasn’t like he was ever hiding the fact that he ran the stan account so he has no problem doing it. He’s so casual with posting a selfie of himself and saying his name and likes and dislikes but the people who tagged him just thought that he was just a regular fan?? Not Pro-Hero Deku?? 
#WTFDeku is trending for a whole day in Japan. 
It answers a lot of questions but opens up more. 
Everyone legit thought that @[H/N]might345 was just a rich kid with a lot of free time this whole time. But no?? It was Number One Hero Deku?? Does he make the edits when he’s fighting villains or something asdfg 
It makes him so happy though!! You guys would be chilling and his phone dings from notifications and he’s turning to you so happily like, “Look, [Name]! Another popular fan account retweeted my compilation of you! I can’t believe they noticed me!” Asdf i love this boy. 
Tumblr media
Shoto Todoroki: 
LOOK even before you two debuted as Pro-Heroes he was your number one stan buying all the merch, watching all of the interviews. 
Interacts with other fans occasionally. 5K followers. Verified by Twitter for some reason. Has a generic name like @[Name]snumberone and thinks that it’s polite to always end his posts with a simple :) 
He’s told you about his side account before, but you know that he has one dedicated to Endeavor hate, so you always think that he’s referring to that one. 
Horny on main for some reason?? People think that he’s socially inept and doesn’t really understand a lot of jargon or slang, but thanks to Kaminari and all of the other stans he’s studied up because he thinks that’s how you’re supposed to talk on the internet. 
Like someone will post a pic of you holding something between your thighs like a water bottle or your phone or wallet while you tie your hair up or sign something for a fan and he’ll be like “goD i wish that was me.” 
it’s photosynthesUS @queenking[H/N]  Can you believe that there are people out there that don’t think about [H/N]’s thighs at least once a day?? coughcough anyWAY on an unrelated topic here’s several pictures of those beautiful legs http://bit.ly/pH6KeOjpKeI
[H/N]’s biggest fan @[Name]snumberone replying to @queenking[H/N]  I can die happy if those legs suffocated me 
[H/n]’s biggest fan  @[Name]snumberone  Another fan messaged me saying that they liked my account :) thank you. I love [H/N] more than anything. 
[H/N]’s biggest fan  @[Name]snumberone Someone messaged me this from a site called Archive of Our Own? They said since I like [H/N] so much I would like this. It’s pretty enjoyable :) although kind of OOC? (is that right?) 
[H/N]’s biggest fan @[Name]snumberone I thought I would try my own hand at [H/N] fanfiction since it was so fun to read I binged the entire tag last night :) But please be warned that it’s not for underage readers. 
Would try to fight the haters in the most passive-aggressive and aggressive-aggressive way possible. He had no problem with trying to square up against the chief of police and he’s incredibly stubborn. He immediately responds to their post and tries to shut it down as quick as possible and sometimes it’s ;; kinda hurtful 
One time a hater account was spreading negative things about you and after Shoto came on the scene they quickly ended their thread with a “Of course [H/N]’s white knight came to save the day again 🙄🙄”
Within the next hour he changed his bio to “[H/N]’s white knight” 
Doesn’t get that trend where after someone posts something thirsty about someone else another user will reply by thanking them for something random? 
[H/N]’s biggest fan @[Name]snumberone Has anyone seen [H/N]’s arms after their most recent fight with a villain? They can break my back like a glowstick :) and stick their tongue down my throat ig 
Stradandelous @pikadeegeek  replying to @[Name]snumberone  Thank you for paying for my anger management classes :))))
[H/N]’s biggest fan @[Name]snumberone replying to @pikadeegeek  Oh, do you have me confused for someone else? I know that @realbakusatsuou needs anger management lessons 
He gets exposed after someone posts a picture of you and him smiling at each other cutely and someone responds with “🥺🥺 get someone who looks at you the way Shoto looks at [Name] and soba. It must be nice to kiss one of the cutest Heroes of the century” 
[H/N]’s biggest fan @[Name]snumberone  replying to @bossbiccc Thank you but soba will always be number two to [Name] :) and it was nice. 
Everyone then collectively LoSeS their minds and connects the dots like hUH?? You included!! You aren’t spared from this shit!! You spend your whole day with your jaw dropped to the goddamned grOUND as you scroll through his side account. Did he try all of that before or AFTER writing his fanfiction?? 
Endeavor gets news of it and learns just how horny his youngest son is and nearly goes into cardiac arrest. 
He just slurps his soba when everyone under the sun confronts him about it and he’s just like “what about it?” 
Tumblr media
Katsuki Bakugou: 
About 600 followers. Doesn’t interact with anyone other than retweeting posts and liking them. Rarely comments. Never answers DM’s. Only follows one person and that’s @official[Hero Name].
You don’t know about it. No one knows about it. If he had it his way, no one will ever know about it.  
Occasionally he posts, but it’s mostly him flaunting the fact that he got limited edition or super expensive [H/N] merch that gets sold out in seconds and he’s super fucking smug. 
my hero [Name] @[H/N][Name] check out my limited edition [H/N] figurine. their costume is covered in real strakowski crystals. they did a good job with the face too.
Whatcanisayyyy his parents are designers. He has a taste for the finer things in life. 
He’s not much of a texter in general? So he doesn’t go off on lengthy arguments with people who post hate like the other two. Surprisingly mature when he does this. He reports or blocks them, but he’s always proud to know that these lowlife people can’t bring up a good argument because he always finds holes in their points. (They also don’t have the whole story. Which is? He loves you.) 
NEVER retweets or likes content that involves you and another Hero being shipped together. Purely Ground Zero x [Hero Name] only. Who gives a damn that Creati x [Hero Name] got the most votes from the Official [H/N] Fan Club?? Bakugou ,,, does not see it. 
Kinda boring really ;; he only has that many followers because he only retweets the BEST [Name] content and he’s fucking proud of it. 
He gets exposed when you and he get dragged to a club with Bakusquad one day. You’re on the dance floor with Mina and Sero and he’s just reclining in the booth retweeting paparazzi pictures of you that night and Kaminari manages to sneak up behind him and takes a picture of him without him noticing. People ofc zoom into his phone screen and find out that hE FUCKING HAS A WHOLE STAN ACCOUNT DEDICATED TO YOU?? When y’all are dating?! He’s retweeting photos of you in your outfit that night when he was right there?? He sometimes uncharacteristically comments 🥺 or 😍 or “my love”??? 
The goddamned UWUs that are passed around that night!!
The unsuppressed anger 😨😨
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway @realbakusatsuou YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!! IT WAS SAID THAT YOU WOULD DESTROY THEM NOT JOIN THEM!! 
Red Riot @theofficialredriot replying to @NOTjammingway The PLOT TWIST OF THE CENTURY! NOT EVEN THE SHARINGAN COULD’VE PREDICTED THIS
Cellophane @Serophanetape  replying to @theofficialredriot  No wonder he’s changed since our school days... 😔😔 as his bros we should’ve seen it... the good in him...the c o n f l i c t 
Pro Hero Ground Zero @realbakusatsuou  replying to @NOTjammingway  Shut. The fuck. UP!!! 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway  ASDFGHJKLHELPMEEEEE http://bit.ly/DVtNve4qySA
Show this thread 
woah pass that  @hellofolksclapclap Transcription of @NOTjammingway’s post that was taken from his IG live for anyone that needs it 😊
[Chargebolt]: [to Red Riot] and anyway, I there I was barbecue sauce— [two knocks appear on his door]. Huh?  [Red Riot]: [walking to the door] were you expecting anyone?  [Chargebolt]: No—? [Door slams open loudly. It falls to the ground off its hinges.] [AHHHHASDGHSPE?] [T/N: how did he manage to keysmash in real life?] Bakugouuuu! [Screams impressively high pitched.]  [Ground Zero]: I’m going to fucking kill you!  [Red Riot]: Bakugou, no! Stop! What would [Name] think?! [Ground Zero]: [Name] can’t fucking look at me without laughing anymore!  [A whole bunch of voices interlap and more screaming ensues.] [A faint ‘wheee’ is heard.]  [END.] 
Eventually he just fucking owns it and is like yEAH!! I HAVE A [NAME] STAN ACCOUNT WHAT OF IT?? 
hero for all  @official[Hero Name] Love you too, @[H/N][Name] <3 <3
Pro Hero Ground Zero @realbakusatsuou  replying to @official[Hero Name] ...You’re lucky I didn’t deactivate the whole fucking account. 
He still retweets things to this day, but now he’s getting more bold. 
Tumblr media
Denki Kaminari: 
Unlike the others his official twitter IS his [Name] stan page. 
He’s going back and forth from posting about his battles, his promotional content, and then splits them all with retweets that are like “I’ve NEVER wanted to hold a hand so bad before in my life. I SWEAR!” 
IMAGINE if he did have a stan account though. He would be going back and forth between his official and stan account and like fake beefing with each other. 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway  [Name] just defeated 28 villains today!!! FUCK👏ING👏TWENTY EIGHT👏 The talent in this household... the sexiness... 😳😳
i sent you my love pls respond @[H/N]steponme replying to @NOTjammingway Dude I’m going to steal your lover 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway  replying to @[H/N]steponme  You wouldn’t dare 😤 😤😡
i sent you my love pls respond @[H/N]steponme replying to @NOTjammingway   If that’s your lover why are they buying MY animal crossing turnips? 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway replying to @[H/N]steponme @official[Hero Name]... say it isn’t so... 
hero for all @official[Hero Name]  replying to @NOTjammingway  What the FUCK is going on 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway  Replying to @[H/N]steponme They’re in your acnh island but they’re replying to MY tweets we are not the same 
Since he’s a Pro-Hero and therefore a public figure, sometimes he gets flagged by karens on the internet for saying stuff like “pls sit on my face [Name]” on his official twitter and he always replies to comments that are like “Think about the children!” with “This AINT about them!!”  
If his S/O is getting hate he’ll reply to them such as
dog mom coffee lover @lilyjargon920 I’m sorry I can’t help it, [H/N] is so ugly ESPECIALLY after a fight 
Pikachu’s long lost son @NOTjammingway replying to @lilyjargon920 That’s a strange way to say that you’ve never gotten anyone hot and bothered 
Flip-flops between being super horny and “Can i hold your hand ;;; PLEASE” 
Whenever he takes mirror selfies in his bedroom his bed is like ;; half [H/N] plushies 
Because he’s not hiding anything he’s able to interact with your page freely and most of the time his retweets get more likes than your tweet because he’s just randomly thirsty without it having anything to do with your og tweet. 
He tries tik tok trends on you and reposts it on his twitter as well. He tried the “getting naked in front of partner” challenge while you were in the middle of working at your desk at home and you just looked at him like “Put some clothes on HOE” while laughing and getting back to work. 
He posts Boyfriend ASMR POVs but most of them are like self-indulgent fanfiction and he’s talking to “[Name]” instead of making it open to everyone. 
Everyone in Class 1-A clowns him so hard for this. 
Present Mic plays one of them during his radio one day as a request from a listener and he had to leave the room but since he’s so loud his laughter was basically the only thing people hear.

Imposter: Cafeteria
Tumblr media
Part 4: Cafeteria 
An interactive bnha among us au:
Word count: 2k
Warnings: This series contains descriptions of murder and dismemberment, Deception and morally questionable actions, Angst and betrayal.
Tw: Death, Gore
Masterlist -> Here
Taglist: @redbeanteax​ @tspice283​ @kurinhimenezu​  @simpforeveryone @ queenlibra134 @thewheezingwyvern​ @trafalgar-temptress​
             Your ears rung, heart thumping loudly in your chest as a wave of nausea rushed through you. Your legs felt weak as you looked upon the gory scene. As soon as you tried to back up your legs crumbled beneath you, it felt as if someone had doused you with a bucket of icy water. Everything was white noise, a blur of colors passing you by but there was one color that shone the brightest. 
Red indeed traveled the farthest in the spectrum… Splotches of the liquid soiled the room, a deep crimson that was never meant to see the outside of veins. Your pupils trembled, watching as Deku held Bakugou’s damaged cranium close. Invisible tendrils squeezed at your beating heart when Deku was thrown off. The man in the splattered white suit shouted till his throat was raw as Shindo and Mirio held him down. 
Amajiki was fussing around the body… The body. Calling the blonde such a thing was terrifying. The entire situation was terrifying, Bakugou was one of the strongest men aboard, an excellent combatant, he was armed and yet there he laid. Visor cracked, body limp all the while his blood collected into a pool. The maroon liquid matched his only eye, dark and lifeless. 
“I-It looks l-like he put up quite the fight.” Tamaki managed to mumble, face pale. He unlatched the man’s helmet, glass plopping into the pool below. His once vibrant blonde strands were now matted to his skull, wet and sticky with his own fluids. HIs body was battered but the gaping hole in his skull was definitely the finishing blow. To your immense horror you caught sight of the squishy sphere by the chair in the room. Cerebral matter seeped out of the wound and Amajiki shuffled in his pockets. 
He wrapped the gauze around Bakugou’s head, all the while shadows danced underneath his eyes. Deku’s voice had grown hoarse with use, drool slipping down his jaw as he stared wide-eyed at where the Blonde laid. Mucous had tangled into his running tears further soiling what was visible of his face. Mirio and Shindo were silent. Questions burning their tongues but never leaving their lips. 
You managed to hold down your bile and stood on shaky legs. You shot a glance towards the screen and made out the time. ‘Everyone should be at the cafeteria’ you noted. Mirio seemed to catch on as he instructed Shindo to help him lift the dead weight that was now a shell shocked Midoriya. Out of respect you grabbed the wandering crimson eye, you placed the squishy membrane in your palm and a mutual understanding came across everyone in the room. 
Your eyes were downcast as you walked up the corridor, Amajiki didn’t make a single sound as he carried the lukewarm corpse, The other three walked behind him, a makeshift procession accompanied by Deku’s quiet sniffling. As soon as you turned down the last hall you saw the bright light of the cafeteria. The light hearted chatter you heard filled you with vertigo and you almost paused in step. 
You pressed on allowing the warm light of the large room to bathe your form. Your arrival didn’t catch everyone’s attention at once. Shinsou’s head was resting on the table and it was Hagakure who saw you all first. She was just stepping out of the bathroom, when her hand shot up to her mouth. Kirishima had been standing in front of the restroom chatting with Denki whilst holding the small clone. Both of them were alerted to the situation when they saw Hagakure freeze at the door. 
“Hagakure what’s wrong-” Kirishima turned his head towards you all, crimson eyes growing larger by the second. “No..”
The whisper caught Kaminari’s attention as did the drop of his mini-clone. He caught the 
small creature ready to scold the red head when he noticed the haunting expression on his face. Denki couldn’t believe the sight in front of him. And, yours eyes watered when you saw Kirishima take a tentative step forward, his arm reaching out as if to make sure what he was perceiving was in fact real. Amajiki set him down in the center of the room.
“B-Bakubro” He gasped, tumbling to the ground. Kirishima tossed his helmet, his eyes pooling over with tears. He reached out to touch him and you clenched your eyes shut. “H-Hey wake up.” 
You bit your lip trying to ignore the way Kirishima was tugging at Bakugou’s suit. “H-Haha t-this isn’t funny man.” He was shaking his arm. 
“Kirishma.” Shinsou mumbled. 
“K-katsuki..” He mumbled. “Y-you never joke around on the job, s-so why?”
“H-he’s gone Eijirou.” Kaminari cried, his arms tight around his clone as he openly sobbed. 
“N-no way. Ha w-what are you talking about Denki this.. This is Bakugou he’d never be killed by… Right? Midoriya?” His vermillion eyes looked over to the man hunched into himself. The green haired man didn’t move, or even acknowledge the words and Kirishima turned to look at the rest of you until you caught his stare. And you shook your head. 
And he crumbled. 
Tears dotted your vision at the wails of Bakugou’s intimate friends. You hadn’t known him for long but even you knew that he didn’t deserve such a merciless death. You rested your forehead on your hands as you sat at the circular table. You were joined by Amajiki, Mirio, Shinsou, Shindo and Hagakure. It was silent save for the cries of anguish. 
“W-what are we going to do with the body…” Hagakure mumbled. 
“We c-can put him in a bath of liquid nitrogen.” Tamaki replied, knowing that no one onboard would ever agree to tossing his body out into the empty vacuum. Shinsou nodded and finally asked the question. 
“What happened…” Various pairs of red rimmed eyes stared at the captain. 
“He.. He..” Deku began, not being able to finish. 
“Mirio?” Shinsou asked, “You were his teammate, what happened.” 
The blonde let out a heavy sigh, his large palm supporting his head. He let out a shaky breath before commencing. “We were in security… We were looking at the camera’s and saw (Lastname) and Tamaki walking down towards the storage room. We found it weird since they were supposed to be working on tests and Bakugou told me to go down to check it out.” He paused. “I wanted him to come with me but he said he noticed something odd and wanted to keep monitoring it. So I left him there and went to the storage room where I met up with Tamaki and (Lastname).”
“Then we talked for a bit and Tamaki and (Lastname) started freaking out about vents and we ran to the security room.. It was locked and Shindo was there trying to unlock it and when he did…”
“We found Deku in there and Bakugou’s dead body.” Shindo finished. Kirishima looked up towards Deku who held one of Bakugou’s hands in his. Watery green eyes stared into equally teary eyes. 
“I-I was in the reactor room w-when I heard him shout.” The green haired man croaked. “I ran..” He sniffled “I-If only I had been fast enough.”
“It’s a bit suspicious that the door was locked and Midoriya was in there.” Shinsou frowned. 
“Are you trying to say Deku killed him?” Kaminari gasped, a horrified look crossing his eyes. “H-he wouldn’t.”
“I-I agree he wouldn’t.” Kirishima sniffled, rubbing the back of his hand under his runny nose. 
“And why wouldn’t he?” Hagakure cut in. “The door was locked and there were no other exits, Midoriya didn’t say if he saw anyone and if he’s the Sticur’s host then it would make sense for him to take out Bakugou first.”
“I actually have to agree with Hagakure.” Shindo added. “Bakugou would have possessed the biggest threat to it, and who better to know that than someone who has been close to him since childhood. Remember they absorb all memories of their hosts.��� Everyone’s attitude seemed to shift and Kirishima and Kaminari eyed the man in the white suit warily. 
“Wait.” You cut in looking towards Tamaki. “I don’t want to go around accusing the wrong person so there’s something that all of you should know. When me and Tamaki were in the Medbay we found something out. I stepped out for a while to go to the restroom to give Tamaki an extra sample and when I came back the door was locked.”
“Yes, It looks like the Sticur can hack into the ship’s motherboard and lock doors at will. The thing came out of the vent and attacked me. I would have died had the door not unlocked, then (Name) ran in and he vented.”  
“Mirio we asked you if there was a vent in the security room didn’t we?” You asked. 
“Yes, and there is. That’s when we began to run to the room.” He replied. 
“The vents?” Shinsou repeated. “I see, now let say that Deku did go in as soon as the Sticur ‘vented’ according to Bakugou’s wounds the host should be covered in..blood.”
“The way I see it Midoriya is still the most suspicious…” Hagakure mumbled. 
“Empty your pockets.” Kirishima suddenly vocalized, his eyes sharp. 
“What?” Shindo asked. “Why?”
“He was searched afterwards.” The red-head responded. “Everyone knew that he had the taser and he was just k-killed a-and I just searched him and it wasn’t on him.” 
“There’s no point in doing that.” Amajiki added. “If the Sticur grabbed it, it could have easily ingested it as to not leave evidence.”
You saw Kirishima and Kaminari wilt at the explanation. “Right, Now then Shindo, what happened according to you, you were supposed to be with Midoriya.”
“I was unlocking the Manifolds while Midoriya was on the other side of the room. Then all of a sudden I heard him take off. I didn’t follow him immediately because I was trying to finish my task. After a while I found it weird that he hadn’t returned. So I went looking for him. And that’s when I saw the door slam shut. And you know the rest.”
“....If the Sticur can vent.” Midoriya began. “Then anyone could have gotten there. I’d like to know what you four were doing.” Midoriya’s eyes were set, his eyes drowning with vengeance. 
“Me and Denki were in Navigation.” Shinsou shrugged. Kaminari nodded. 
“I stepped out for about two seconds to check in on O2 but Shinsou was there when I came back and I didn’t take long.” The electrician added. 
“Kirishima.” Midoriya asked. 
“Me and Hagakure were in the weapons room.” Kirishima informed. 
“I was downloading data.” She added. 
“But then you had to use the bathroom and I offered to stand in front of the door.”
“That’s true when I walked in Kirishima was standing outside the door waiting for Hagakure.”  Kaminari supported, Shinsou nodding. 
“Oh..” Deku sighed, feeling as if he had gotten nowhere. You saw how his eyes bore into the blonde on the ground and you frowned. You really wanted to believe him but it seemed like the evidence was stacked against him. It was then that you began to ruminate, you pulled together everyone’s narratives and somethings just weren’t adding up. Plenty of people were suspicious…
“We need to do this now.” the grave tone in which your captain said this sent a chill down your spine. “I think we’ve got enough evidence to make a decision. We need to evaluate everything and kick that son of a bitch off my vessel.”
Everyone looked around as they came to conclusions, and soon the vote’s were in and every pair of eyes stabbed at you. You had the last say and you had to agree you wholeheartedly thought that the Sticur was-

Cruel Fate// Villain Midoriya x Reader
Tumblr media
A/N: I’ve never written any fanfics with Midoriya in them(as the main focus), especially a villain Midoriya, so I hope this will do!
Warnings: Angst, slight Bakugou x Reader (Platonic), Swearing, Knives are present, breakup, villain Midoriya
-----
You were in a seemingly perfect relationship and in your eyes it was, you loved Izuku! He was everything you could ask for, but then one day he just disappeared. As if he just disappeared into thin air, his phone, clothes even shoes were still there in your shared apartment. The both of you were successful pro heroes, especially Izuku, he was quickly rising in the hero ranks and then one day, gone.
This broke you, the love of your life nowhere to be seen. You stopped working, just staying at home, not talking to anyone, barely eating and just drowning in your sorrows especially when the pro heroes and police stopped searching for him.
He had now been missing for two years and you had just gotten worse and worse. Your family and friends had now a full schedule to check on you and make sure that you actually ate and took care of the necessities you needed to survive. No matter who it was or what they did, they couldn't get you to stop the never-ending cycle of depression and need for your sweetheart.
You missed him badly. From the way, he held you in his strong arms every night as if he was protecting you from the dangers of the world to the way he would give you morning kisses on your forehead. You had practically used every piece of clothing that was his to just be able to smell him but now it all had disappeared since you had been slowly but surely worn each clothing item so it now smelled like you instead.
-
On the day that marked the third year since his disappearance, you were lying on the bed in your apartment, you just laid there not wanting to do anything. Hiding under the covers, clutching your pillow tightly. As you were doing this you heard your front door slam open and loud incoherent shouting. You ignored it just assuming it was Bakugou's turn to make sure you had eaten and that he was just in a pissy mood. Well, you had assumed wrong. (Partially at least)
Suddenly the covers on your bed disappeared exposing yourself to the cold apartment and at the foot of the bed was Bakugou. He looked pissed, to a point that you felt that he could kill you just by staring at you with those angry eyes.
-That's fucking enough you sad ass. You gotta get over him! Its been THREE FUCKING YEARS!
Bakugou screamed at you, his face red.
-I fucking understand that you miss him, hell even I miss Deku. But what the fuck are YOU ACCOMPLISHING hollowing up in your apartment!?
He continued screaming, tears now rolling down your face. Not because of the fact that he was screaming at you but because you knew that you were not accomplishing anything by just sitting around being sad and missing him, but you refused to listen to him. He walked up closer to you now standing beside you.
-Y/n you look like shit, what the fuck would Deku think if he saw you like this? Your not fucking alone, he was my-
Bakugou choked on his words, no longer screaming but speaking very sternly. You looked up at his face, tears were streaming down his face too.
-Even if I wouldn't admit it in front of that idiot... but he was one of my close friends, and I sure as hell know that he wouldn't want to see you like this. So quit your moping and come back, hell maybe if you came back and started working as a pro hero again you might even find that damn idiot...
This shocked you, how come you never thought of this? Bakugou had a point, you had to get your shit together...
-Fine, I'll get my shit together... I'll- ... I'll find him.
You mumbled. Bakugou fell silent, he wiped his tears.
-Damn fucking time and... thanks I guess.
He gave you a small smiled. He really has changed since high school and you appreciated the fact that he knocked some sense into you. Giving you that final push to stop moping.
And that's exactly what happened, after a year and a half you were back to working as a pro hero, going outside, being with friends and family. Sure you would never heal from the pain of Izuku disappearing but you were refuelled with new energy and you were going to find out what happened to the love of your life.  
-
One day you were out on patrol, a normal day or it was until you heard multiple explosions. You headed to see what happened and where you could help. The explosion and smoke lead you to a mall, the mall had exploded. You instantly ran inside the mall to find any survivors. You run around looking for people, debris everywhere, pieces of the building was falling onto the ground. Everything was destroyed.
As you turned a corner you fell backwards. Weight on your stomach, almost as if someone was sitting on you. And you were correct, on you was a female with blond hair put up in two messy buns, yellow eyes almost piercing your soul, a cruel, sadistic smile on her lips. You identified the female sitting on you as Toga from the League of Villians. One of her arms lifted holding a knife above your chest.
-Ooooh, won't you look here! You are so cute! But you would look SOOO much better with blood on you!
She exclaimed with a cheery voice. You looked around, you couldn't get her off you. Your quirk was not going to help you in this situation, she was also sitting on you in a position that you couldn't get out of. As you look at her with shock, without hesitation she moves her arm indicating that she's about to plunge the knife in her hand right into your chest. You close your eyes awaiting the pain of a stab.
Yet the pain never arrives, as you open your eyes you see Toga's knife only a few centimetres from your chest. A hand wrapped around her wrist, stopping her from plunging the knife into your chest. You look towards the direction of the arm stopping her. You didn't believe your eyes, it couldn't be possible. Right beside you, the person stopping you from being killed by this villain is none other than Izuku Midoriya, the love of your life, who had suddenly disappeared four and a half years ago.
-Leave Toga. I'll take care of them.
He says monotonously. Said female whines but gets off of you and runs off into another direction, probably to find a different victim. Izuku reaches a hand in front of you to try and help you up. Though you don't take his hand and stand up yourself. You are still in shock not believing that it's him but he looks like your Izuku and sounds like your Izuku. You observe how he looks like, whilst tears start to stream down your face.
He is wearing a white dress up shirt paired with a black vest and a black tie. Black trousers and shoes, plus a pair of black gloves. You blink multiple times, it looks like your Izuku but at the same time he doesn't, he seems more... Sinister.
-Y/n...
He eventually says with a soft smile. Multiple thoughts and feelings run through your brain and heart. You feel happy and relieved to know that he's alive and seemingly healthy and he's there, your Izuku. But at the same time, you feel angry and sad. If he's ok then where has he been this whole time and was he with Toga? It seemed like it...
-Where the fuck have you been this whole time?
You manage to choke out. You don't wait for an answer and continue to speak.
-Like you just disappeared one day. Without anything, no message... And now you're here, what the fuck Izuku?
All your feelings that you've had during the past five(ish) years now all came and turned into pent up anger, pent up rage. Izuku's silent but he eventually starts to speak.
-I left to become a villain, love. I realized that the hero society was awful. The heroes are a bunch of scumbags only there for the money and fame... It was better to become a villain. You understand right? Why don't you join me and we will be villains together? Come on, baby.
He states, his hand stretched out to take yours so you can join him. You look at him with shock and sadness, but it soon turns into disgust, fully visible on your face.
-Izu, what are you're talking about? I would never become a villain! What happened to you? Wheres MY Izuku!? The Izuku who wanted to become the number one HERO and bring peace to the world?! Not DESTRUCTION!
You pretty much scream. Izuku is silent for a second but then replies.
-This is just how it turned out after I found out the truth about the heroes. Come on, baby, please!
He says as he tries to get closer to you, you back away.
-You are not my Izuku...
You say quietly but loud enough so that he can hear what you said. He looks at you with slight shock. You try to walk away, just get away from here before you fully breakdown. You know that there are probably people out there that need saving, you can't just stand here talking to Izuku. But Izuku manages to grab your wrist and get you to stay. You recoil your arm not wanting to touch him due to the things he just told you.
-Come on Y/n. I'm sorry for disappearing like that, I really am. But we can start over, we can become a happy couple again! I never stopped loving you!
He says desperately as he tries to stop you from leaving. Your cheeks are now very wet and your eyes are starting to get puffy. You suddenly get a memory from when Izuku and you were in high school. You start to laugh through your tears. Izuku notices this and his facial expression is visible that he is wondering why you are laughing.
-Remember in UA when we first started our relationship and you said that you'd always be by my side?
Your facial expression showing clear pain as you ask Izuku this question. Your legs slowly getting weak. He looks first at you shocked, but he then smiles at the memory.
-Of course, I do and I will continue doing that, we'll always be with each other. Especially if you come with me, love!
He states, desperately wanting you to be with him.
-Yeah? Well, you disappeared for almost five YEARS Izuku! YEARS! You could've called, texted, hell even sent a letter but no! NOTHING!
You were now screaming at the top of your lungs, you couldn't contain the anger and sadness anymore. Izuku was silent.
-I've missed you so damn much and just wanted to be in your arms...
You said and it was true, that was something you had been wanting to do for the past few years. Your heart could barely take anymore. You were clenching your hero costume around the place where your heart was. Tears flowing down your face like rivers. Your whole body was shaking. Izuku was looking down at the ground in shame, his fists clenched in how disappointed he was in himself for leaving you for this long...
-And we c- ... we can do that again, I've missed you so much too! I'm ashamed of the fact that I left you and I realise now that I should've contacted you.
He said. He was extremely mad with himself. How could he be so blind and hurt you like this? Tears had started to form around his eyes.
-But- but now... I'm not so sure if I want to be in your arms anymore... Now that I know that you had all the possibilities in the world for you to contact me yet you didn't...
You were violently shaking from being this distraught and angry. You really weren't sure if you loved this man anymore. Izuku was once again looking at the ground in shame. You took a deep breath.
-I really didn't think that I'd say this after getting to see you for the first time in years but... due to the circumstances and the outcome that's happened... and I honestly thought that I would get to love you again. But I don't want to ever see you again.
You said in the coldest voice you could muster, tears now halting the flow. That was the breaking point for Izuku. He fell down to his knees, tears streaming down his face instead. His facial expression showing a mixture of shock, heartbreak and disappointment.
You took another deep breath and took the chance of leaving now that Izuku was in his own thoughts. You never thought this is what was going to happen but fate has cruel ways to mess with you...

Hello! I’m sorry this took very long :[[[[. It took long because I actually write it only when an inspo comes in so I stop writing the fic from time to time! But I hope you like it and I’m sorry if I won’t pass your expectation 💓💓
The Huntsman and the Green Maiden (ToshInko Snow White AU)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Toshinori told his self that he needed to work to save enough money, he didn’t expect it to be an assasination mission.
“It’s not an assasination mission,” the Evil Queen clarifies as soon as she sees Toshi’s skeptical face, “I just want you to get rid of her, that’s all.”
“It is…” Toshi spoke at the back of his head but chose to kept his mouth shut anyway.
“Why do you want to get rid of this…maiden badly?” Toshi asks as his fingertips play with the rim of his glass the Evil Queen has offered earlier.
The queen stares at the nosy huntsman, her eyebrows flinching slightly as she shrugged, “Just because.”
Upon hearing the townsfolk talk about how the palace is in need of skilled huntsmen, Toshi did not hesitate on heading to the queen’s palace. She always had a bad reputation on her people but Toshi, giving her the benefit of the doubt, went anyway and the result? He has proven that she indeed is evil as her name suggests.
Toshi is not clean to begin with. He has killed before with his bare hands. Any form of living as long as it is crucial for his survival. He has long retired from hunting but now that he needs the gold, he’s back from the start and somehow, he despises it.
“Will you take it, huntsman?” The Evil Queen says in a modulated voice that implies intimidation and dominance.
Toshi’s sunken eyes blinked once before exhaling heavily, “Yes.”
An impressed grin creeps in to the Queen’s lips, satisfied by the huntsman’s response, “Excellent. I want the job done in three weeks. The Magic Mirror says she hides in the magical forest, struggling to survive as of. I want you to find her and finish her,” she instructs with her voice laced with amusement.
“But I don’t know her face…” Toshi mutters.
“Oh, you will know once you see her,” now the Evil Queen sounds sarcastic as she clicked her tongue, “She’s the fairest maiden of them all, after all. Also, it’s hard for her not to stand out with her green hair.”
Ar first, you didn’t want to believe the Evil Queen. A person with green hair? Ridiculous. A maiden who hides in the middle of a magic forest? More ridiculous.
----
Huntsmen and adventurers try to avoid the magic forest as much as possible. As its name suggests, unknown forces of magic lurk around its trees. Stories of people who never returned from the forest increase from time to time and this sends shivers all throughout Toshi’s spine.
He’s never tried on going inside the forest himself. He’s never been in a situation wherein he needs to go.
“It’s not as eerie as the rumors make it sound…” Toshi thoughts to his self as he passes through thick roots of an old tree.
“Not bad…” Toshi rests after walking for hours, deciding to settle for a while under the shade of an enormous tree, wiping the sweat off of his forehead.
The rumors about the magic must be a bluff. He’s been walking on its domain for a while and so far? So good. No weird creatures suddenly appearing before him or whatsoever.
That’s what he thought.
Before he knew it, a striking pain hits his nape. He failed on reaching for his neck as his vision suddenly spins, confusing him. He tries to stand up, attempting to escape the unknown force that has attacked him but he fails once again as he falls to the ground, with his head hitting first.
He groans, slowly fluttering his eyes as he hallucinates of hearing laughter of children. Toshi tries to crawl but goes in to a halt when the illusion of laughter he heard goes louder and louder.
“Hell yeah! Die, you scum!”
“Wait, Kacchan!”
He couldn’t even distinguish if it’s his mind playing tricks with him or he actually hear children’s voices near him. Toshi then figures out it was the latter when he groans as a fistful of his hair gets pulled up.
“I WIN!” A blonde child literally speaks in front of Toshi’s face, making him close his eyes as droplets of his…Toshi would rather not know what it is splattered in to his face.
“NO ONE SURVIVES MY BOMB KILLING DART!” The blond child screams in a very chaotic manner Toshi couldn’t understand what the grinning child was trying to say.
“K-Kacchan! You’re not supposed to hurt people!” Another child with a frightened boy goes near this ‘Kacchan’. His green hair exploding all over as his round eyes glistened with tears.
“Huh? Don’t boss me around, dumb Deku!” Kacchan spats angrily as he lets go of Toshi’s hair.
Groaning, Toshi-who has recovered from the dizziness and the pain from his nape at this point-sits as he looks at the children in front of him.
“Bu-But, Kacchan-”
“What?! You want to die, huh?!” The aggressive Kacchan retorted as he flicks this Deku’s forehead, making the latter wince and the tears stream on his face.
“Kacchan!” He attempts on growling only to sound like a whine. Ignoring his friend, Deku glances at bewildered Toshi.
“Hello, Sir, are you lost?” He asks Toshi amidst his tears and his blushing forehead.
“DEKU, DON’T IGNORE ME, YOU-”
“No, I’m actually looking for someone,” Toshi groaned after inhaling, “Are you two from this forest?”
“OY, DON’T YOU USELESS SCUMS IGNORE ME-”
“We live here,” Deku cheerfully replies as he offers his hand adorned with wornout gloves, “My name is Deku, Sir. And that guy is Kacchan-”
“DON’T CALL ME KACCHAN-”
“It’s your name!” Deku points out before ignoring his comrade once again, looking at Toshi who unexplainably grinning glancing at the children in front of him, “Who are you looking for, Sir?”
Toshi looks away, finding it hard to reveal that he’s looking for the fairest lady, “I’m looking for someone…with green hair…”
Toshi and Deku both fell silent, staring at each other. Toshi then realizes that this Deku literally has green hair.
Swaying his hands furiously in the air and head shooking, “No…No… it’s not what you think.”
“Are you…” Deku says as he takes a step back, going beside Kacchan once again, his brows furrowed and his eyes wide clearly because of fear, “Are you here to kidnap me?”
“That’s not it!”
“Kacchan! He’s here to kidnap me!”
“I told you, it’s not it-”
“DIE, YOU BASTARD!”
----
That pretty much explains how Toshinori is following the lead of these two forest children as they take him to their home.
He couldn’t help but question if it was a right thing to follow them deeper in to the woods whenever he sees Deku and Kacchan have contradicting directions.
“We turn right!”
“N-No, Kacchan. Turn left before right-”
“ARE YOU SAYING I’M WRONG?”
Toshinori, silent at the back, only stares at the children bickering as they guide him along the misleading trees, telling him stories of their everyday adventures and few of their 'friends’ left behind the cottage.
In all honesty…Toshi couldn’t care less. He’s not very interested with Deku and Kacchan’s adventures, or the rest of their friends. The only reason he’s following these kids is…
“Feeling tired, Sir Toshi?” Deku looks back at him with his eyes beaming, beads of sweat adorning the side of his forehead as he jumps from a huge root, “Don’t worry, we’re almost there! We’ll let Inko heal your wound.”
“Hmph! If he couldn’t handle walks like these, then he doesn’t deserve to see Inko!”
“Kacchan!”
Right. The only reason he is here is for this lady who goes by the name Inko. When Deku invited him to his cottage, he wanted to refuse, finding it an unnecessary detour for his quest. But what caught his interest was that Inko is, according to Kacchan, a badass woman with green hair but is way more beautiful than dumb Deku’s.
Toshi’s speculation could be wrong but he is willing to take the risk. The way Kacchan has described this Inko totally fits the maiden the Evil Queen wants him to find.
“We’re here!” Deku exclaims the moment they see a poorly-made fence out of sticks surrounding a small cottage.
“Oy, stupid idiots!” Kacchan exclaims as he nonchalantly follows the path towards the cottage, “Were here!”
Toshi looks at Kacchan and Deku brisk walking towards the cottage in glee. He looks at the surroundings after. Tall trees surrounded the cottage adorned with different plants that he knew where edible. On the right side is where a well errects surrounded by small wooden chairs and different gardening tools. They basically have everything they need here to survive…
“Deku, Kacchan, welcome back! How was it?”
“Heh! It was boring!”
“It was fun! And Inko, I’m sorry. We weren’t able to get the flowers you requested!”
“Oh, Deku, it’s alright. Don’t cry, please!”
Enchanted by the sweet voice, Toshi took his gaze off the mesmerizing well, looking back at the cottage and with one glance, he immediately knew this was the fair maiden the queen was looking for.
“Bu-But we brought a friend! Toshinori, Sir!”
Not minding Deku’s call, Toshi’s eyes lingers at the woman named Inko. Indeed, she had beautiful green hair now that he sees it exploding with the gentle wind. Her green eyes are wide as she stares at him as if he were a puzzle meant to be answered. Her head slightly wobbling to the side which made Toshi look at her chubby cheeks.
“Deku…” Ah, he hears it again. Her voice sounded quite dreamy as he unconsciously took a step forward.
She knelt to match the children’s height, which was not really necessary given that her height is close with theirs. Her hands dragging Kacchan and Deku slowly towards her back as her curious eyes become wary of his presence.
“Who…who are you?” She asks. It was clear how terrified she was and yet, she remained firm looking at him.
He didn’t really care of how she sees him, honestly. She could be doing anything and he’d stare at her all day, completely mesmerized by her adorable frame.
But Toshi knew it was rude to remain silent especially if a lady has asked you. He clears his throat, hoping his voice is in its best condition even after that long walk, “Uh…I am-”
“That dumb scum is Toshinori and he’s a loser,” Kacchan cuts him off with an annoyed face.
“Kacchan!” Deku exclaims, clearly unimpressed of Kacchan’s indifference, “Inko, don’t listen to Kacchan. That’s Sir Toshinori, a friend! Also, Kacchan hit him in the nape with his slingshot.”
“It’s not a slingshot. It’s Bomb Killing Dart.”
“Oh my!” Now gone was the wary face of Inko. She looks at Kacchan with a horrified look in her face. Her brows pulled together as her hands gently went to his shoulders, “Kacchan, didn’t I tell you we don’t hit friends?”
Kacchan pouts beneath his scowling face, “He’s not a friend. He’s dumb!”
Inko’s brows furrowed deeper with an obvious frown in her lips, “Kacchan…” She speaks in a modulated voice, showing how she’s unimpressed.
Kacchan’s cheeks turns in to red as he becomes flustered, somehow feeling humiliated he is being lectured, “Fine!”
Kacchan looks at Toshinori, back with the disgusted face, “I’m sorry for hitting you with my Bomb Killing Dart.”
Toshinori, not really paying attention to his half-assed apology, gave the child a nod, “It’s alright. I wasn’t hurt.” What a load of bull as he remembers at the back of his mind how distorted he felt for a couple of seconds.
Snapping back in to reality, he stares at Inko in awe as she walks her way towards him. The ends of her skirt rustling against the trimmed grass. Her hair flying all around as she now holds his calloused hands.
“Soft…” Toshi comments at the back of his mind.
“I’m really sorry for what Kacchan did to you, Sir Toshinori!” Inko bows and you noticed how her hair is made stylishly with a small bun.
Toshi, breaking free from getting petrified for a good three seconds, becomes flustered as he registers Inko is holding his hands, “I-its alright! I don’t mind!”
“Thank goodness!” Now Inko stands straight, her face looking relieved with his answer. Her brows are up and a sweet smile creeps in to her lips, her eyes turning in to crescent moons.
A little repetitive but Toshi is in awe again now that Inko is literally only a couple of centimeters away from him. Being this close, he sees how her skin is very fair and how pretty the sunlight reflected in to her beautiful green eyes. Not to mention, her thin lashes casted soft shadows underneath, which made her look so beautiful.
“But we still must treat your wound!” Inko says as she snaps, frowning at you but in a funny manner, “Kacchan’s slingshots can sometimes be too-”
“BOYS, READY!”
Surprised after hearing another voice, Toshi’s gaze passes through Inko, going to the cottage’s doorway. He turns pale as he sees four? No, five children with different hand-made weapons with them, all aimed towards him.
“ATTACK!”
“B-Boys!” Inko screams as Kacchan pulls her away from him, giving clear path for the children, “No!”
----
“Here, Sir Toshi….”
Toshinori looks up at the red haired child who is offering him a plate filled with food they’ve prepared. Toshi couldn’t help but glare at the red head, especially with that annoying smirk. This red head was the one leading the other children earlier.
“Thank you…” He says but his furrowed brows, glaring sunken eyes, and frowned lips says otherwise.
The red head sheepishly chuckles as he blushes while scratching his spiky hair, “We’re sorry for earlier…Kacchan was silently telling us that you were a threat; so we did that…”
Kacchan. He shouldn’t have underestimated that boy. He knew that child was a problem but he didn’t expect him to be this much of a problem.
“And you believed him?”
Toshi now looks at the purple head child with a blank stare in his face, bringing with him a cup filled with water.
“Shinsou…” Red head pouts, cheeks getting redder than it was, “Well, you guys believed in me as well!”
“Because you were persistent and we didn’t really have a choice,” the purple boy in which the red head called as 'Shinsou’ nonchalantly replies as he offers Toshi his cup.
“On behalf of my friends, I apologize for their stupidity,” he respectfully bows.
“Oy, Shinsou, who are you calling dumb?!”
“You and Kacchan.”
“M-Mean! I am not dumb. I am manly! Kacchan will hear of this!” Red head looks at Toshi again. He swears the red child looks like getting drowned with the red tint in his skin.
“M-My name is Kirishima, Sir!” The red head exclaims while bowing once more, “Please excuse me!”
Not waiting for Toshi’s reply, Kirishima vanishes from his sight.
“Please eat until your hearts content, Sir Toshinori…” He looks back at Shinsou who is still standing in front of him.
“I’m…not that hungry,” Toshinori says while looking at his bruises.
With Kirishima on the lead, they mercilessly attacked him with all their might using their hand-made guns, swords, and catapults. Being a huntsmen, fighting would’ve been a piece of cake. BUT it’s a different thing when you fight in front of a beautiful maiden.
Beat from walking and from Kacchan’s…Bomb Killing Dart, plus the children’s ambush, covered with bruises all over his body, of course he’d lose his appetite to eat.
“I don’t really care if you’re full or not,” Shinsou says with an indifferent tone, his eyes wandering around, “But Inko keeps on asking us to check on you. I can’t sleep well if she does that.”
Completely surprised, Toshinori immediately looks for Inko, only to catch her watching him. Both Inko and Toshinori taken aback of how the other caught them staring, they both looked away in synch.
“Thank you…” Toshinori says to Shinsou in a low voice, looking down, trying to conceal the blush in his cheeks.
At that moment, the quest could’ve ended if he killed Inko at that cottage. But there were things he had to consider, like the children. He was certain despite of their small physique, they would not hesitate on protecting Inko as she had become their mother.
----
“We own the cottage,” Shoto, one of the seven children, says in with his eyes looking down, fingers running through the grass as his feet is submerged in to the river, “Then we found Inko.”
“Wounded! And exhausted!” Testutetsu, who is oddly very similar with Kirishima’s physique and appearance-wise, screams in order to catch his attention.
Keeping his hands steady while holding the rod, Toshi looks at Tetsutetsu, “You found her?”
Shoto nods, the reflection of the crystal blue river reflecting on his eyes, “We treated her wounds and she didn’t leave us ever since. We like it, though,” he says with a small smile, “She takes care of us.”
“But there’s one thing that we don’t know about Inko,” Kirishima butts in with Denki, the seventh child, leaning on his back.
“We don’t know where Inko is from or what her life was before being with us,” Denki says, playing with the tips of Kirishima red hair.
“Deku thinks she was a princess…” Denki whispers as if they shouldn’t be heard, “Kacchan doesn’t buy it. He says Inko is a badass lady who rules the drunkards.”
“I don’t think Inko is in to that lifestyle…” Kirishima says with a doubting smile, “I think she is a princess, too!”
“But if she is a princess, why would she wander in to the magic forest?” Shoto asks hypothetically which made Kirishima and Denki shut up.
“What do you think, Toshinori, Sir?” Tetsutetsu asks, looking to Toshinori.
Toshi keeps his eyes glued at his bait, floating in the river, as if trying to avoid their looks. The guilt he has been disregarding for days creeps up into his heart, making him grip his rod tighter, his teeth digging to his flesh.
“I don’t know…” He says with gritted teeth.
He knew he was lying. He could easily get rid of the children if he wishes to. He has killed men and animals that are hundred times stronger than he is. Killing children would’ve been a piece of cake for him.
He knew that he purposely made excuses just for him to disregard the main purpose of his presence at this magical forest: to kill the fairest maiden of them all.
----
Undeniably, Inko is enchanting. But Toshi knew it was not all with the looks or with her mysterious green hair. It was with how kind she was to anything she touches, how gentle her words could be and how she resembled home to anyone.
It is true. Because he himself felt it, especially now as he stares at Inko, patiently waiting for him and the children, Kacchan and Deku’s heads on her lap. Her smile, gleaming brightly as ever as her shoulders raise in joy, waving at them. Nostalgic memories of Toshinori’s younger years flashes before his eyes with the mere exposure under Inko’s warmth.
“It feels like…” Toshi whispers under his breath, slowly taking off the net filled with fishes from his shoulders.
“HOME!” Kirishima, Denki, and Tetsutetsu screams as they run towards their cottage, leaving behind them the bashful Shoto.
“Children!” Inko giggles as Kirishima, Denki, and Tetsutetsu shower her with pepper kisses.
Kacchan and Deku groans as they get disrupted on their sleep, “YOU DUMB IDIOTS!” Kacchan growls, standing with his death glare on.
“K-Kacchan!”
“Ah! We woke Kacchan up!” Kirishima screams.
“RUN!”
“DIE!”
Your eyes trail towards the children who are now running away from Kacchan. Their loud laughter echoing across the terrain as they dance around the grass, bathing under the sun.
“Shoto…”
He looks at Inko who is now caressing Shoto’s arms. Again with that familiar smile in her face. Of all the looks she gave, that was Toshi’s favorite expression.
“Go play with the rest…” She coos using her soft voice, tucking her green hair behind her ear.
Shoto gives a curt nod before running towards the direction of his brothers, leaving Inko and Toshinori alone at the cottage’s doorstep.
Suddenly realizing this fact, Toshi stiffened, heart beat slightly raising as he stops his lips from grinning.
“Toshinori, thank you…”
Baffled, he looks at Inko. Her lips in a smile in between her flushed cheeks.
“For…?” Toshi asks, his brows slightly furrowed.
“For catching fish for us…” She chuckles, slightly scratching her cheek with her small finger, “We don’t really eat fish that much. No one is that excellent in catching fishes, not even Kacchan…” She says in a joking manner.
Toshi couldn’t help it. He smiles as he looks at Inko’s face. Slowly, he sits beside Inko, disregarding the fact that he’s slightly bothered by how close he is to him and how ridiculously small he is next to her. She would definitely fit in to his frame even though he is skinny himself-
Toshinori shook his head, trying to shake away his thoughts. Focus…focus…
“It’s nothing…” Toshi says nonchalantly, his eyes on the children who seem to be playing tag, “I…liked it,” he admitted.
“That’s good…” She comments, her face resting at her palms as she pulls up her knees, “The kids like you…”
Toshi made a face as he remembered how Denki and Kirishami pulled a prank on him on their way home. Not to mention, the way they treated him when they first met.
“I doubt that…” He spatted bitterly.
Inko chuckles, her shoulders slightly shaking along, “That’s not true. They like you. The moment you were able to catch a wild boar, you immediately captivated their hearts. They love meat,” she pointed out with as-a-matter-of-fact-voice.
Giving Inko a side glance, Toshi says, “You really love them, do you?”
Inko nods, “Very. I owe them my life. If it weren’t for them, I might not be here…” She says, the smile in her eyes slowly disappearing.
Toshi couldn’t help but to look away. Somehow, he feels guilty, especially that he knows the reason why she is at this state.
“I…grew up from a…bad place. I was banished from where I lived, you know…” Inko talks despite of Toshi’s silence, “I spent all my life inside the walls of my home and when they asked me to leave, I didn’t know what to do and before I knew it, I found myself wandering the magic forest.”
Toshi glances at Inko again, catching her fingers interlacing playfully from one another. Her eyes clearly in pain as she talks about her past.
“Then I woke up with Kacchan snuggled under my arms,” she laughs, “These seven children brought me to their cottage and before I knew it, I became attached.”
“Understandable,” Toshi nods, “They leave an impression,” he agrees, slowly looking at Inko who looked at him as well.
His blond hair slightly being swayed by the wind, he stares in to her eyes. Hoping he’d find answers to his confusion, of how troubled he is of what he is supposed to do next.
“You leave an impression…” He muttered so softly, not breaking his stare at her. Which made him see how her cheeks flushed with red tint.
“You leave an impression, too…” She says, completely flustered with how her voice went high, “… Toshinori, Sir.”
----
Living with the seven children and the fairest maiden in the middle of the magic forest felt like a bliss. A daydream he always had in his mind whenever he was out to hunt. A place he always envisioned whenever he was sick or was feeling nostalgic in a hot afternoon.
“Inko is good at making pumpkin pie!” Deku exclaims as he dreamily thinks of it, “She makes them so good I always ask for more!”
“You just love eating, Dumb Deku,” Kacchan says in an upset tone as he walks along Shoto, “It’s not that great!”
“Not that great? Quit being a liar, Kacchan. Real men don’t lie!” Kirishima snickers as he brings the smaller net filled with fish, “Plus, you also ask for more with Inko’s food!”
“No, I don’t!”
“Yes, you do!”
“YOU STUPID TURD, I DON’T-”
“Inko?”
The wild bickering of Kacchan and Kirishima went in to a halt upon hearing Shinsou’s surprised voice. Before they all knew it, they have arrived in front of the cottage.
Trailing after Shinsou’s stare, Toshinori looks to the cottage, only to be taken aback to see Inko spilled on the doorstep, barely conscious.
“Inko!” The Kirishima, Kacchan, Deku, Tetsutetsu, and Denki screamed as they dropped the fish and meat they’ve hunted from the forest, running towards the woman who has become their mother figure.
“No…” Toshinori muttered under his breath. Knees wobbling, palms suddenly sweating, and a large amount of hair suddenly caught in his throat. Somehow, an idea flashes in to his head…
“Toshinori, Sir…”
Snapping out from his thoughts, he looked down when a small warmth touches his hands. He sees Shinsou and Shoto, looking up to him, fear evident in their eyes.
Without saying anything, he drags them along, running as fast as he can towards Inko.
He hears the children’s cries as they surrounded the beautiful woman. They loudly screamed her name in the hopes that it would wake her up but to no avail.
Shaking, Toshi lets go of Shoto and Shinsou’s hands as he pulls Inko’s frail body, making her lean towards his lap.
“No…” He muttered, lips shaking as his fingers trail on her unconscious face, “She found her…” He said as realization dawned on him.
The queen…she might have grow impatient and…looked for Inko herself.
“We lost her…” He said, slumped in despair as the world was drowned with the screams of the seven scared boys around him.

Shigaraki + Eri: Born to Destroy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shigaraki and Eri are both characters told by their abusers that because they were born with a destructive quirk, it means they were born to destroy. Both children internalized this idea. The only difference is Eri was saved while she was still a child. and Shigaraki was explicitly not saved and failed by the hero system at every level. 
Yet, a certain part of the fandom insists that the comparison between these two characters is meant to show that Eri is meant to be someone who can be saved while Shigaraki having grown up to be a villain is therefore an example of someone who due to being a villain cannot be saved. That Shigaraki’s only role in the narrative now is a villain to be defeated, and therefore unlike Eri he no longer deserves to be saved. 
But to believe All for One’s lies that Shigaraki was born for destruction, that he enjoys it, is the same as believing Chisaki’s lies that Eri was born to hurt the others around her too. What people are missing is that Eri does not exist to be the “good guy” version of Shigaraki. It’s the other way around, Shigaraki is a much more important character than Eri whose arc is central to the whole narrative, Eri’s entire purpose for being in the story is to prove that Shigaraki is someone who should be saved. Let’s explain under the cut. 
1. Eri and Tenko
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eri is a character who is intentionally designed to call immediate visual parallels to Shigaraki. They both have long, uncombed white hair. They both have red eyes with severe bags underneath them. They are both obviously scarred, Shigaraki has scars on his face and Eri is perpetually covered in bandages. 
The intention is clear, not only does Eri look like Shigaraki but she also looks the exact same way Tenko did almost immediately after he was traumatized. Red eyes, hair turned white by stress, covered in scars. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eri not only parallels the scene where Tenko ran away from home immediately after losing his family, they also parallel the fact that both of them were racing through the crowds, hoping, desperately, that just one person would save them. 
They are both frightened children running away while being covered in scars, but here is the reaction that Eri gets, compared to the reaction that Tenko gets. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a trick on Horikoshi’s part, using the visual art to convey framing. Framing is a technique of writing where ideas are written with the reader in mind, ensuring that the reader is able to understand what the author is trying to tell them. In other words it’s the characters within the story reacting to events in a certain way, as a device to convey the author’s intention or what they want you to understand. 
In the most basic terms if Deku saves a person, and all might pats him on the head and says that he did a good job saving someone. Then the message conveyed is that saving people is good. Events happen in a story and framing conveys a message. 
Then look at the difference between how these two scenes are framed. Eri is still cute, visually appealing, she has wide eyes and looks like an innocent lost child. When Tenko raises his eyes to look up at the old lady, his eyes are sunken in, his face is withered, and he looks like a monster child. The difference in this framing is to show the difference in how Eri and Tenko are perceived, even in the exact same circumstances, Eri is a child that needs to be saved, whereas Tenko is an ugly child that everyone looks away from. 
Horikoshi is not framing it this way to reinforce the idea that Eri is good and deserves to be saved, and Tenko is bad, rather he is showing how other people perceive Tenko as ugly in order to show their hypocrisy. The entire point of the scene in Tenko’s case is how wrong it is in the entire crowd not a single person tried to save him. 
Tumblr media
Eri, and Tenko were both born into abusive households. A mother who abandons her daughter at the first sign of trouble, blames their child for everything, and then leaves her with the Yakuza was probably never much of a good mother in the first place. 
However, after exiting their first abusive household instead of heroes they were both found by villains who only had an interest in manipulating them. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chisaki, Eri’s father figure, and AFO Tenko’s father figure both repeatedly tell the children they are watching that the reason that they were born with this quirk is that they want to destroy. Both of them come to accept that it’s their fault for being born with this quirk, that they want this, that they exist to destroy. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both accept the lie that they are told. Their quirk manifested because they wanted it to, their quirk went out of control and killed their father because they wanted it to. They do not see themselves as tragic victims, but as the cause for all of the destruction around them. 
There is even a deliberately drawn intentional parallel to when Eri loses control of her quirk once again at the end of the arc, and when Shigaraki loses control of his quirk fighting against Re-Destro. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both hear the words of their abusers, and then lose control of their destructive quirks. The only difference being that Eri is crying and Shigaraki is laughing but this does not mean that Shigaraki is a bad person that lovs destruction, and Eri is a good person that hates when her quirk destroys and is therefore an innocent victim. 
The ways in which they lose control just manfiest differently. Shigaraki has been taught his entire life that destruction makes him feel better, that he was meant to destroy and that it was a good thing, he was literally groomed for this purpose. Whereas, Eri was taught that her destruction was a bad thing specifically to make her helpless and to not fight back against Chisaki. Eri was cultivated to be helpless, whereas AFO cultivated Shigaraki into someone who would actively want to destroy after AFO was gone. 
It’s almost like the environment they were raised in makes the signs of their victimhood manifest in different ways or something. Shigaraki’s laughter is no less of a cry for help then Eri’s crying. Shigaraki only laughs because he’s been pushed past the breaking point, had a trauma flashback in the middle of battle with a man who is trying to kill him, and has not eaten or slept regularly in a month. Yet, Shigaraki losing control is read as him being evil, and Eri’s losing control is read as her being a victim. 
The point being that if Chisaki was wrong when he said that Eri was made to destroy, then All for One was also wrong when he said that Shigaraki enjoys destruction. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chisaki and All for One both positioned themselves as Shigaraki and Eri’s father figures, and then used that position of power to control their entire lives. Neither of them saw Shigaraki or Eri as a person, only a tool for them to use to further their own ambitions. Therefore, neither of them could have known Shigaraki or Eri as a person. Everything they say about them as a person is wrong, because they only care about them to the extent of what they want to mould both children into. 
2. The Theme of the Overhaul Arc 
So, what were we as the leader supposed to learn from the Overhaul arc?  A simple answer would be “Heroes should have a frightened child in front of them, even if they’re not asking for help”. However, if the theme were just that we would hae what I call a no duh theme. 
A no duh theme is basically when the theme is so obvious that it’s kind of pointless to read about it in a story. For example if the theme was so simple as “killing people as bad” my response would be “no duh.” The point of stories is to develop ideas and learn something from them, so something has changed by the time you started the story to the time you finish it.
For example, Deku’s goal is a really vague one. I want to save people. Heroes save people. Those are pretty general statements. If Deku is the main character of the manga, his goal has to develop or change in some signficant way otherwise why are we following Deku this entire time? If he’s the same character at the beginning than at the end, then what is the point? 
The Deku from chapter one would have rushed to save Eri too. The entire point of the arc was not just saving Eri, because as far as hero-work goes saving a crying child who is a victim of a villain is pretty standard. The point is to bring up the idea of what saving people means. 
Tumblr media
Of course no true hero would abandon a frighten child, of course Deku’s goal is to save everyone, but those statements are very generic and nonspecific. Not only that, but it’s also basically what All Might’s Goal was to begin with. Deku as a character has to surpass All Might, not just be a second All Might imitating his hero.
The point of the entire series is for Deku to grow into his own type of hero, and learn the kind of hero he wants to be. It’s easy for him to say “I want to be the hero who saves everyone” but now the story must challenge him to live up to it. Now, while Eri was a difficult fight, and was in pretty difficult circumstances to rescue her from, she also was a pretty black and white victim. She’s a crying child begging for help, of course you would want to save her. 
However, there are several ideas brought up in the process of saving Eri that are obviously set up for later cases where saving someone could be more complicated than just punching the bad guy and saving Eri from his hands. Even Eri herself is a more difficult situation because like any other child, the words that are told to her by the person who controlled her life, stay inside of her, and she cannot overcome them on her own until somebody else provides and outside perspective. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Midoriya is met with someone who does not want to be saved. Who tells them to leave him alone, because of their abuser who controls their reality, who believes they cannot be saved and only exist to bring pain to others. Midoriya ignores that because he knows that it’s the words of their abuser speaking, and decides to save her anyway. 
The entire arc is a baseline. If Deku cannot save this person, than how can he become a person who saves everyone. It’s a test of what Deku really means when he says he wants to become a hero who can save anyone. 
Tumblr media
The overhaul arc is an introduction, the first real taste of the difficulties and complexities of saving people, and also of it’s importance. Deku does the right thing and chooses to continue seeing Eri as a victim, rather than believing the words of her abuser. Even when eri herself believes them, because she is a child who literally has not been shown any other alternative. 
Tumblr media
Therefore, thematically the end result of this path, for Deku to become a hero that truly saves everyone he has to grow into the kind of hero who can save Shigaraki as well. A victim who does not want to be saved, a victim who believes everything their abuser told them, a victim who believes they were born to destroy. 
It’s easy to sympathize with a crying girl like Eri. Shigaraki is a character who is much harder to sympathize with, and yet there are such obvious parallels between Midoriya and Shigaraki that it’s impossible we’re not building up to a conrontation where they sympathize with each other.
Tumblr media
This is something that we are told over and over again in the story. That Shigaraki is a crimminal now. That he is not somebody that can be sympathized with, that he cannot be saved, only put down like a rabid dog. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That heroes only exist to save good people. However, the central conflict of the story is literally this. That in a society of heroes there are people that do not get saved, not only that, but it is these clear and obvious gaps in hero society that creates it’s own villains. 
Tumblr media
As pointed out by here twitter user [@ribai1] Images sourced to them. 
Shigaraki is a symbol of every victim that falls through the cracks of a hero system. In a way he is like a violent jungian shadow of society, which rises up due to society’s ignorance and neglect of the situation, of people like Shigaraki and Eri. 
Spinner is a NEET who is ostracised both for having a quirk that morphs his entire body, and also a weak quirk. He was someone who locked himself away from society because he could not handle it. At the same time Shigaraki is also someone who was raised outside of society. Due to that fact his perspective is that of an outsider looking in. Shigaraki speaks to Spinner because just like spinner, all of the good things about being accepted by society, friendship, camraderie, being accepted by others, being saved by others, all of these things are unavailable to Shigaraki the outsider. Hence why both Shigaraki and spinner lead relatively empty lives and are desperate to have some kind of cause that is against this society that does not welcome them. 
Shigaraki speaks to these people, because he is their symbol. He’s experienced the same things as all the outcasts, due to the fact that his entire life was destroyed, by Shimura Nana’s neglect, by a hero abandoning her child, by the system failing to save Shimura Tenko when he was in trouble, by All Might choosing to turn a blind eye to the child she abandoned and not even knowing of his existence, all of these factors build up to make Shigaraki the central victim of what is essentially the entral conflict of the hero system the ALL MIGHT VS AFO FIGHT. He has suffered the same way the outcasts have and thus he speaks to them. 
Tumblr media
Shigaraki and Twice are both people who suffer from heavy mental illness, due to the fact that they suffered several consecutive ‘bad days’. Not a single person from that society reached out to help a hand, they were expected to handle it entirely on their own. Even though Twice was a sixteen year old who lost his parents in a villain attack he got no support. Even though Shigaraki was a child, not a single hero came to rescue him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both represent the irony that a literal society of heroes, will not save people like this, Shigaraki and Twice because they were bad, ugly victims. They both present their mental illness in an in your face, disturbing sort of way, despite the fact that Twice is a friendly guy looking for someone to understand his problems, despite the fact that Shigaraki is an orphaned child who is acting this way because the only father figure that took him in was a villain and he believes he owes him. 
Shigaraki and Toga are both labeled as outsiders because of their quirk. Both Toga’s own parents, and the Meta Liberation Army believe that it was Toga’s own quirk that drove her insane, and not her parents calling her a demon child and telling her to repress themselves. They only happened to be born with the quirk, but because nobody will accept them as who they are it comes to define their entire life.
Shigaraki and Chisaki are both children who were orphaned and picked up by a crimminal syndicate specifically because they have a powerful quirk. They are both raised into tools that have all of their humanity stripped away from them. And even then they feel obligated to pay back the people who used them, feeling like they owe them because it is their only paternal figure.
Shigaraki heavily parallels both Dabi (if he is Touya) and Shoto, as well as Hawks, because he was raised not as a child to be loved but as a hero. His primary reason for being picked up was because of his quirk. Todoroki and Shigaraki were raised as successors for another person, and not allowed to be their own person. They were both exposed to extreme amounts of violence when they were young. Shigaraki and Hawks both had their entire childhoods destroyed to be a tool of opposite sides, one a villain and one a hero.
Shigaraki even parallels Midoriya, as a quirkless kid who wanted to be a hero. Who was only bullied and put down, even by his own family members for just wanting to follow his dream. 
Tumblr media
Not only that, but timing wise the Eri arc is literally also the first time we see Shigaraki drawn in a much more human light, and how different he is from the villain that first raided UA at the start of the manga by how he interacts with his allies. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That there is a human behind the mask of a villain. 
Therefore, the Overhaul arc brings up the idea that saving people can be difficult, painful, but it’s also ultimately worth it to save victims who are in pain no matter how hard it might be. The reason this was brought up was not just for Eri’s sake, but to lay the groundwork for Shigaraki being saved. Because saving people is what heroes do. 
Shigaraki is center to that theme, because he parallels every victim in the manga and is the second most important character to the central conflict of the manga (the fight between AFO and OFA) to Deku himself. Which is why it’s important to understand that neither Shigaraki and Eri were born to destroy, they are both victims reacting to their individual circumstances. 
Tumblr media
For Deku to grow as a character, for his words “I want to save everyone” to actually mean something, then he’s challenged to understand someone like Shigaraki who is difficult to understand, and that Shigaraki is also a part of everyone.

Melting My Heart (Part Five)
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: If anyone wants to be added to the tag list for this let me know. Happy to do it for anyone!
(Katsuki Bakugou x Reader)
Summary: The fireball with the attitude has one weakness, Y/N. When she’s the only thing that can break through his cold appearance around the other students, he starts to learn that being the best… isn’t the only thing out there.
AO3 Link
Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four
Part Five:
Word Count: 2106
We all stood on the battlefield outside the school, staring at our teacher before us. The fact that my father was my teacher was going to be a pain in the ass, I could already feel it. We all wore matching jumpsuits that UA had supplied for us. Aizawa spoke as we all lined up. “I hope you guys are ready, it’s time for a quick assessment test.”
We all spoke together. “Huh, a quirk assessment test?”
We should have been in orientation right now, the entire school was there. I spoke up, not afraid to question my father. “What about orientation? We’re going to miss it.”
Aizawa faced away from all of us. “If you really wanna make the big leagues you can’t waste time on pointless ceremonies.” A bunch of students gasped. “Here at UA we’re not tethered to traditions. That means I can run my class however I see fit.” He turned to us. “You’ve been taking standardized tests your whole lives, but you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country is still trying to pretend we’re all completed equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It’s not rational. One day the ministry of education will learn.”
My father turned to Katsuki. “Bakugou, you managed to get the most points on the exam.” Then he looked at me. “And Y/N, you were only nine points behind him. What were your farthest distance throws with a softball when you were in junior high?”
Katsuki put his hands in his pockets. “Sixty-seven meters I think.”
I crossed my arm. “Sixty meters.”
“Right,” He held out a softball for Katsuki to take. “Try doing it with your quirk.” Katsuki took it from him. “Anything goes, just stay in that circle on the ground.”
Katsuki stepped into the circle. He was focused now. “Alright man, you asked for it.” Katsuki stretched his arms before sending the ball flying into the sky, sending black smoke behind him, an explosion helping the ball get farther. 
“All of you need to know your maximum capabilities.It’s the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a Pro-Hero.” Aizawa held up the device in his hand and read the distance off to us. “Seven hundred and five meters.” He took another ball from a bucket behind him and held it out to me. “You’re up Y/N.”
I grabbed the ball from his hand, swapping places with Katsuki. I knew what I had to do to impress the class. I focused my power onto the ball, causing a black orb to envelope it, and threw it, knowing that if I stayed focused I would be able to keep the ball in the air as long as I needed to. 
After a couple of seconds of the ball still being in the air Aizawa turned the screen of the device toward the class. “Nine hundred meters and climbing.” He looked back at me. “Stop focusing now, I think it’s gone far enough.”
With almost a sigh of relief I stopped my focus, dropping the ball from the sky.
The whole class was excited now, they all wanted their turn to throw the ball. The only student that didn’t look very excited was Izuku. “Before anyone else goes for this we’ve more exercises to do.” He motioned us to follow him. “So this looks fun huh? You have three years here to become a hero. You think it’s all gonna be games and play time?” My father’s eyes turned cold. “Idiots. Today you’ll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately.” The whole class freaked out.”Like I said, I get to decide how the class runs. Understand?” 
The class looked from person to person, the only one of us that didn’t look scared was Katsuki. A huge smile spread across his face. 
“If you don’t like it you can pack up your things and go home now.” The smile across Aizawa’s face was almost scary.
Students started to interject. A small girl with brown hair spoke up first. “You can’t send one of us home, it’s our first day, and that’s just not fair.”
“And you think natural disasters are? Or power hungry villains? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? NO. The world is full of unfairness. It’s a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro you’re gonna have to try to push yourself to the brink. For the next three years UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So go beyond. Plus ultra style.” He motioned for us all to follow him again. “Show me it’s no mistake that you’re all here.”
Katsuki grabbed my hand and turned to look at me. “Time to blow these nerds away my queen.”
I raised a fist and smiled at him. “Let the games begin.”
* * * * * * 
Test after test we were all growing exhausted. We did everything from speed tests, to long jumps, to grip strength. Izuku struggled through every test, I was starting to feel bad for the kid. I couldn’t believe that he had even gotten into the school without a quirk. Katsuki had been pissed when he had heard that Izuku had gotten accepted. 
We finally made our way back to the softball throws. Izuku was the next one up. As he stood in the circle I could see my father’s anger starting to grow. I wished I had known why. Katsuki wrapped an arm around my shoulder, we were both already done with this test, so we were able to just sit back and watch. Iida stood beside us, speaking out loud. “If Midoriya doesn’t shape up soon he’s the one going home.”
Katsuki looked over at Iida. “Of course he’s the one going home, he’s a quirkless loser.”
“He has a quirk.” Iida looked almost offended by Katsuki’s words. 
Even I shot a look beside me. “What do you mean he has a quirk?”
“Did you guys not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?”
Katsuki’s anger flared, I could feel the heat radiating from his body. “Huh?”
Izuku lifted the ball and his arm started to glow some, but when the ball left his hand it almost immediately plummeted back to the ground. The machine spoke. “Forty-six meters.” Izuku looked down at his hands, but when we all looked toward Aizawa we were all in shock. 
My father’s quirk had been activated. His scarf made swoops around his head and his eyes turned a glowing red, just like they had in our training. His hair stood up, almost straight, keeping it from obstructing his view.“I erased your quirk.” He looked more angry than I had ever seen him. I grabbed Katsuki’s arm and hid behind him some. “The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school.”
I could feel Katsuki’s anger emanating off of him. It was coming off in ripples. We had known Izuku our entire life, he had never had a quirk, so what did my father mean when he said he had erased it?
Izuku stepped back some. “Wait, I know you. You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The erasure hero. Eraserhead.”
The students all looked around, commenting on how their teacher was a Pro-Hero, but Aizawa ignored it and continued. “You’re not ready. You don’t have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again?”
Izuku looked terrified. He looked about as scared as he did the day Kacchan had attacked him in class. 
“Counting on someone else to save your useless body?”
“No, that’s not what I was trying to do.” My father’s scarf reached out and wrapped around Izuku, pulling the boy towards him. Izuku shouted some. 
“No matter what your intentions are, you’d be nothing more than a liability in battle. You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero that I know. One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive you’re worthless if you can only throw a single bunch before breaking down. Sorry Midoryia,” He didn’t look sorry to me. “With your power there’s no way you’ll ever become a hero.”
With that line I could feel my emotions turn from fear to anger. That wasn’t fair, that wasn’t something you should ever say to a kid. I knew my father could feel my piercing eyes on him, and I was almost tempted to use his own quirk against him and cancel his quirk out. I had done it to Katsuki many times, I had no problem doing it to him. 
My father’s scarf  and hair relaxed on his shoulders and his eyes turned back to normal. “I’ve returned your impractical quirk, take your final throw.” He walked away and back to us. “Hurry up and get it over with.”
Izuku took the ball from my father and did just that. As the ball left his hands there was such a force that we all had to stand our ground. When Izuku turned back to look at us he spoke to my father. Only his finger was broken, he was learning to control his powers. “Mr. Aizawa, you see, I’m still standing.”
My father looked almost excited now. “This kid.” A smile stretched across his face.
When I looked over at Katsuki his mouth was hanging in shock. “What the hell was that?”
I looked about the same as him. “I don’t know Kacchan.”
“If he had a quirk he would have gotten it when we were kids.” He took his arm off my shoulder. “This is impossible. He’s up to something.”
“He’s not up to something Katsuki, just leave him alone.” I tried to sound firm. 
“I’m getting to the bottom of this.” Before I could grab his arm and stop him Katsuki was running toward Izuku. It was a time like this that I wished I had my scarf with me. I could have easily grabbed him. He wasn’t using his quirk so I wasn’t able to stop him. He screamed at Izuku as he ran. “DEKU YOU BASTARD. Tell me how you did that or you’re dead.” I started to run after him and before I could reach him I saw the white scarf of my fathers fly out in front of me and wrap around Katsuki’s entire body. “What?” Katsuki turned his head some. “Why the hell is your scarf so damn strong?” He fought against it. 
My father looked even more angry that he had been before. I wished I had something to shield myself with because his eyes looked straight at me before looking back at the boys. His voice was almost scary. “Because it’s a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy.” His hair was up again and his eyes seemed brighter this time. “It’s the same thing I gave Y/N. Stand down.” His voice grew angrier with every word. “It would be wise to stop making me use my quirk so much. It gives me a serious dry eye.”
I ran up next to Aizawa. “Daddy, please, let him go.”
He looked at me and then at Katsuki and Izuku. “You’re wasting my time now. Everyone else finish your turns.” 
Katsuki stood there, staring into the distance as Izuku walked away, leaving him by himself. I put my hand on his arm and he pulled it away. “Until the exam he was nothing, just a bug I could crush if I wanted to.”
“Kacchan,” I was worried about him. I hadn’t seen him like this in a long time. 
“Just an annoying bug that I could smash into the ground.” He was so angry he was shaking. He turned and walked away, leaving me standing by myself. 
I had always been able to calm him down. He had never walked away from me, not once, even if we were arguing about something, he never walked away from me. I didn’t even know what to do. I didn’t know how I could help him. I could feel the eyes of the class on me as I stood by myself. We hadn’t caused a commotion, but in the entire first day, the class had never seen us apart. We had been joined at the hip, always had been, and always will be, except for right now. What could I do for him?

Bakugoxreader is a USA transfer. Shes really sweet but doesn’t put up with bakugos shit. He tolerates her because she puts up a good fight and low key thinks her accent is adorable. one day their class has a tea and shes bummed because she likes iced sweet tea. Everyone thinks that’s weird but later that night Bakugo shows up with a pitcher and a little embarrassed because he doesn’t know if he used enough sugar. Then she jokes about in the south sugar could also mean kissing. And then they do.
Sun Tea
A/N Hopefully this is close to what you had in mind lovey! Enjoy! Thank you for your patience while I wrote this!
Tumblr media
Three sets of eyes stare down at the pile of cards atop the circular coffee table, each of you sitting cross legged while a few of your other class mates sit among the couches.
"Draw six Y/N." Kirishima wears a rare devilish smile as he places down a yellow draw two card atop two other hellish cards.
You return his smile holding eye contact with Bakugou as you dramatically produce a red draw two.
"Bless your heart Bakugou doll, you've gotta draw eight." You take much satisfaction in placing down the card that will screw him over.
A little too much actually, it's not very hospitable of you to enjoy another's misfortune.
It all boils down to when you were first transferred here, mostly against your will, from America Bakugou hated you with every fiber in his being.
And you hated him in return, which was quite unlike you.
But he had aired all your dirty laundry about your delinquent behavior that you had done in America.
What he didn't know was you had to do those things to survive.
You absentmindedly brush against the tattoo on your neck and two sets of red eyes follow.
Believe it or not he was beginning to see that now.
Could really see how much that lifestyle was thrust upon you.
"This is a stupid fucking game! Why'd I let you talk me into playing hair for brains!?" Bakugou snarls, snatching at the deck on the table counting out eight muttering fuck you beneath his breath.
Kirishima laughs in response as he places down a red eight, Deku places down a red six before you place down a skip.
"You're fucking working together huh?" He snarls darkly and you laugh.
"Ain't his fault you're as lucky as a June bug in November." Your laugh echoes in the room. Pulling at the ash blonde's stomach. Although he doesn't know what the hell you're saying he knows that your voice is just too God Damn cute. You notice the dusting of red on his cheeks and chalk it up to his temper.
To which he adds validity to your assumption by adding harshly.
"What in the fuck are you saying?"
It's a question you hear often.
"I believe she means you're not lucky at all." Todoroki chimes in, heterochromatic eyes peering over his book. Momo nods in agreement as she writes down the expression as she has been these past few months, every now and again she'll try to use the English expression in everyday conversation to you.
And honestly you don't have the heart to tell her that not ALL Americans will understand what she's saying.
You pray to the good Lord that she'll run into another decent Southern belle who would get a lick of what she's saying.
Kirishima takes sympathy and places down a reverse for his friend.
Bakugou smiles from ear to ear and plops down an angry looking black card.
"Draw four bitch." He snarls close to your ear and you narrow your eyes. You draw a blue zero, a red two, a green six and the very card that first scorned you.
A draw four that may be your saving grace.
"Don't be gettin too big for ya britches now Suki, Im fixin ta win." You drawl out real heavy because you're excited and again Bakugou's cheeks begin to heat.
You smirk a deadly smile to him that he returns ten fold.
His smile sends your stomach into a tizzy and you try to talk yourself from the edge.
The two of you had just gotten over absolutely loathing each other and transitioned into hard frienemies.
So why the hell were you fighting off a crush?!
It was bound to happen since Aizawa paired the two of you together and only because Bakugou had the highest score in English.
But damn if you weren't hard to understand sometimes. It was like you weren't even speaking English!
At least not the english Bakugou was taught.
Depsite your past, time showed those harsh scarlet eyes that you weren't a total lost cause, an extra undeserving of a second look.
You more than proved you were a worthy rival and it all came after the phrase.
*"Oh I'm finna kick ya ass to high heaven."*
He has never seen you so flustered before and damn did you keep good to your word.
Forcing him to actually try against you. Never admitting that he enjoyed that part of you.
Narrowed eyes, flushed cheeks and pouty lips pulled past white teeth looking "madder than a wet hen."
Or whatever the hell it was you said.
He just hadn't known he would enjoy that odd ass twang you had too.
But you'll never know that it wasn't really Kirishima who convinced Bakugou to play this stupid idiotic game.
No, it was you, when you wore that devilish smirk before adding
*"Guess you're too scared you'll lose!"*
Katsuki sat down and actually dealt the cards himself then.
"Does anyone want tea?" Mina asks, peeking out from the kitchen.
"Please dahling!" You shout and she smiles your way before making her way back to that amazing smelling dinner.
You have two cards left in your hand, you feel lucky but at the same time you're relying on Bakugou to set down a card that will benefit you.
Please God let it be either a blue card or a zero.
You really didn't want to have to use your ace in the hole or have to draw.
Bakugou places down a red reverse causing Kirishima to draw a few cards before he slaps down a red eight.
"Oi Deku. Make yourself useful. Y/N only has two cards." Bakugou snarls, Izuku gulps avoiding eye contact.
He looks over his cards with nervous eyes muttering to himself with each passing second Bakugou gets that much more agitated.
"OI! PUT DOWN A CARD!" He yells and Deku does hastily.
And the Uno Gods have blessed you as a red zero stares lovingly up at you.
"Its about to go to hell in a hand basket for y'all! Uno!" You exclaim as you place down your card, switching it to blue.
"What?!" Kirishima laughs while Bakugou snarls.
"Means you're about to have a bad time." This time Todoroki doesnt even bother to look up from his book. He flips the page and Momo flips through her own notes.
She must spy the phrase and puts a tally by it. She figures the more times you've said it the more common the idiom.
Little does she know there are some phrases in their you'll most likely never utter again having been quick witted when you made the Southernism on the fly
"How the hell do you know what she's saying?" Denki asks looking up from his switch, trying hard not to move as Jhiro naps on him. Dead to the world with her head phones plugged in.
Todoroki shrugs flipping another page before he eyes the game.
Bakugou sucks his teeth, he doesnt have anything to use against you, you clearly don't even go after him.
And to make things worse he doesn't even have fucking blue or a damned zero. He draws seven cards before blue shows up. He places the blue nine down harshly, Kirishima places a green nine over top of it and all eyes fly to Deku.
Who again begins to murmur and mutter as he thinks of his next move.
All the while your smile grows wider and wider.
There isn't much of a card out there that could stop you.
Deku hesitantly lies down a red nine hoping that changing the color so rapidly would cause you anxiety.
When he see that it doesn't he begins to watch in horror as you place down that little black cars with the +4 in the corner.
"No..." He gasps.
"NO!!" Bakugou shouts slamming his fists agaisnt the table, "Rematch!"
"What's the with all the fuss?" Mina asks carrying a large tray of drinks. She makes her way around the room setting down a scalding cup to each person.
"Y/N won and Bakugou's mad." Kirishima explains kissing Mina's cheek and tapping his lap, "Thanks babe."
She sits cozily picking up her cup.
The whole class, aside from yourself and napping Jhiro seem to take a sip of the tea in unison.
Everyone holds the cup just in front of their chest as a smile spreads on their face.
Even Bakugou looks joyful and you look to the steaming liquid in the gray cup before you.
Heavily missing your favorite sweating Mason jar clinking with ice as you watched summer storms a brew.
Scarlet eyes notice how your drink goes untouched, he nudges you harshly before shouting.
"Oi!" He hates the long face you wear, "Drink it before it gets cold."
"I uh... I keep forgettin the tea aint iced or sweetened here." You say sheepishly keeping your eyes down, "Thank you Mina."
"What? Iced? Sweet?" Bakugou sounds baffled as he tried to understand.
Tea was fucking tea. It didn't need ice and it didn't need sugar.
"Yea! It's a staple in the Southern states. Can't throw a rock where it ain't served." Your face brightens as you speak, that drawl even heavier, "And sweet enough to rot your teeth!"
"Why?" Bakugou asks borderline nasty while you have the attention of everyone in the room.
"You see it gets hotter than Hell in the South, humid enough to make ya melt faster than Frosty in July. So sweet tea keeps ya sane. It's cool and of course sweet, keeps us southern folk from being bitter about how hot it is." You stare into the liquid in the cup, almost imagining it to be different.
"Oh! And if it's hot enough in the summer, which it always was where I was from, yall can make sun tea."
"Alright you're making shit up now." Bakugou shakes his head before taking another sip. He closes his eyes when he sees that his comment has struck something in you.
Your face flashes from angry to almost hurt.
"I used to make the best sun tea every summer." You say longfuly before adding, "Anyway I'm tired. Imma head to bed."
"But dinner is soon!" Kirishima and Mina express their worry in unison.
You smile to mask your hurt. Although it was extremely hard for you in America there were somethings you missed greatly.
Sweet sun tea was one of 'em.
You could take the girl out of the South but not the South out of the girl.
"I'll be fine. I'm full as a tic from that late lunch. I'll see y'all when the roasters sing." You wave as you head towards the stairs.
All the while crimson red eyes bore into you.
Before the bore into space through dinner and now into the ceiling as he lies in bed.
Why did you look like that?
Where you that upset?
Had his comment been too far?
Were you madder than that stupid wet hen you kept mentioning?
No, he knew you weren't mad he knew you were feeling "blue" and that he needed to some how make you "right as rain."
That's how you said it right?
He snarls as he snatches up his phone looking up this and that before settling on doing the ultimate thing for you.
He bares his teeth when he sees JUST how long this will take and that he may have to move it depending on the sun.
But he rises early from bed anyway and gets all of the things needed for what he's fixing.
Soon the morning melts into night and Bakugou was lucky that it was in the dead of summer.
Katuski notices that you announce that you're going to"hit the hay" sooner than you normally do when you're not feeling yourself.
Nervousness begins to escape him through beads of sweat on his brow as begins the finishing touches.
You lie on your bed, scrolling through the old photos on your Insta. Longing for those flashes of lightning, corn fields brightened by the moon's light and those old winding backroads.
You open your window to let the warm air in, at least Japan and the south had one thing in common.
Even the bugs would scream late into the night about how hot the day was.
You lie back again, sighing as you scroll, longing for those times once more.
You missed the stars, you missed the barn cats, the hens, the long trips to the beach.
You scroll down a bit further and spy a picture that brings tears to your eyes.
"You're dumber than a box of rocks Y/N pull it together!" You whisper to yourself as you wipe your eyes.
It was only a photo of a large glass container absorbing all of that summer sun and a wide mouth quart mason jar filled with ice.
Ready to be filled.
Still tears fall and for the first time you cry.
Cry for the lost memories.
The lost time and most importantly your lost childhood.
That place took everything from you, forced you to the cities to sell and steal.
But here you were crying like a baby over some tea and the moon.
A harsh knock comes at your door that has your heart in your throat.
You toss your phone as if you were looking as something bad before clearing your throat.
"Coming honey. Gimme a sec I ain't decent." You say, not really lying as you look yourself over in the mirror.
It really wasn't decent for a Southern Belle to cry over some spilt sweet tea.
You open the door to be met with burning scarlet eyes.
"Honey really?" He asks with a smirk.
"Had I know it would have been you that the cat dragged in I would have said vinegar instead." You cross your arms, far from in the mood to deal with Bakugou of all people.
He gives you a pointed look, half knowing what you mean before he sighs heavily.
"I've got something for you now sit down and close your damn eyes." He snarls and you look at him suspiciously.
"Last time you 'had' something for me we scrapped with our fists." He rolls his eyes and gently guides you into your room. He ushers you to sit on your bed making his way back to the hall.
"No peeking damn it!" He growls. Now it is your turn to roll those gorgeous eyes before you close them with an exasperated sigh.
What in Sam's hell was he up to?
You hear an odd sound of clinking before he kicks your door shut.
A long silence stretches between the two of you before courage returns to Bakugou.
Something cool is pressed against your palm and you grab onto it quickly letting your eyes flutter open.
When you spy a mason jar filled with ice and sloshing tan liquid you squeal as if it were a wedding ring. Your reaction alarms Bakugou before he sees the smile forming on your kissable lips.
He swallows his hot desire as you jump up and down on the bed.
He swallows his hot desire as you jump up and down on the bed.
"Is this what I think it is?!" You bring the jar to your lips and taste.
Your body relaxes and your head tilts back, eyes fluttering as it brings a rush of memories.
How did he get the tea to sugar ratio so...so fucking perfect.
You dare not ask who made this tea because it was made right.
Your heart pounds in your chest as you take in all of the context clues.
Bakugou had been going outside every hour or so today. Making some sort of excuse not to leave the dorms today.
Then he holed himself up in the kitchen just before you had turned in for the night.
Lastly his cheeks were red, burning hot and it finally dawns on you that it isn't from his temper.
But from something else.
Your heart pounds in your chest.
"Is...is that enough sugar for you?" Bakugou asks hesitantly, scratching the back of his head.
You laugh aloud wondering if he realizes the double meaning to his words.
"What?! What is so fucking funny? Is it fucking laughable how bad it is?!" He growls standing as you set down your tea as your laughing fit sets in.
Finally you wipe away a stray tear before regaining your composure.
"Oh no. Bakugou it's great. But sugar has another meaning in the south." You giggle again before adding, "Sugar can mean kissing.
Bakugou stares at you for a moment, he watches as you brush you hair behind your hear. He drinks in the blush that burns in your cheeks seep down your throat as you realized what you've just said.
And he breathes in the sweet smell of summer air carried in on the breeze of your open window.
All day while he tended to that sun tea, moving it into direct sunlight he caught wiffs of smells that reminded him of you. Wild flowers, lilies, sunflowers, honeysuckle, all swaying in the wind watching as he worked and every time he opened the top to that tea he would smell that sharp black tea, combated by the sweet smell of sugar.
He slides his hands past your cheeks, wrapping fingers into hair as he pulls your face to his.
Capturing your lips with his own, and like every spar you've had with him you fight to be the winner. Pulling at this bottom lip with your teeth, demanding entrance the he allows but only for his tongue to win in the end.
He kisses you until you become putty in his hands, melting into his touch as your hand grips tightly onto his black skull tee shirt. A moan escapes your lips as he kisses you impossibly sensual and slowly.
He pulls away and you actually whine but he does not move far, pressing his forehead to yours.
He stares at you before a deadly smile crosses his slightly swollen lips. His voice comes out dangerously husky as he says
"Is that enough sugar for you?"

MomoJirou + TodoDeku Date!!
Requested by @turtle-deku / Ava!!
Momo ran around her dorm, doing her makeup and hair and then redoing her hair and then painting her nails last minute and then finally quitting to curl her hair instead.
“Momo, you know that we were supposed to be downstairs two minutes ago, right?”Jirou asked, looking at her girlfriend. Momo wore a maroon velvet dress and black pump heels with her hair down and curled.
Jirou, on the other hand, wore just a white tank top, black jeans, and then her Doc Martins. It was simple, but edgy as always. “I know, but everyone important will be at my fathers meeting! Endeavor and so many other pro heroes! People from modeling angencies, and all of my dad’s rich business friends.”
Momo looked at Jirou before sighing and smiling. “How do I look?” She asked, twirling as Jirou got up. “Beautiful as always.” They kissed, before Momo grabbed her purse and opened the door. As the ladies walked out, they saw the other couple coming out of their door at the exact time.
A few minutes earlier...
“Midoryia... you look fine.” Todoroki complained, standing up against the wall as Deku ran around, unfloofing and refloofing his hair like a mad man. “Shotoooo. Your entire family will be there! And All Might! And- and- all those News Reporters! I have to look good so I don’t embarrass you!”
Todoroki shook his head, smiling at his adorable boyfriend before grabbing him into a hug. “You never don’t look cute.” Todoroki kissed his forehead before grabbing his wallet, Izuku’s hand, and then walking out.
The two couples saw each other, and smiled. “How are we doing kiddos?” Jirou ruffled Midoryia’s hair as Momo fixed his tie. “You look stunning little broccoli.” Momo giggled, turning to Shoto. “You nervous?” she asked, smiling sadly at her red-and-white-haired friend. “Of course not. It’s only that I’ll be sitting with my father, boyfriend, and a bunch of reporters asking me questions and watching my every move.”
Izuku smiled, grabbing his boyfriend’s hand. “You’ll be okay Shoto. You both will be.” Izuku reassured him and the raven-haired girl. 
“Exactly! You two were raised for this kind of stuff! All you have to do is act natural and you’ll meet your parent’s expectations perfectly.” Jirou smiled, raising her fist in the air as Momo laughed nervously, fidgeting with her phone. 
“I hope you’re right.” She tried to smile, but the mix of her teeth chattering and her cheeks blushing made her look like a total mess, even if she had makeup and a fancy dress on. “I think we should head to the movie. Maybe you can pull yourself together in the car. We’ll have a short 15 minutes to prepare.” 
Shoto suggested as the group nodded, grabbing the hand of their partner and heading out to the limo. Passing Denki and Mina binging on the hot Cheetos, and Bakugo giving them a suspicious glare, they walked into the long, black limo that awaited them. 
Shoto got the window seat, then Deku, then Jirou, and then Momo lastly, closing the car door behind her. Yet Shoto was incorrect, the 15 minutes were not short. Momo and Jirou went over the right away to hold things, how to speak to her dad’s friends, and how to walk in the heels without kicking her feet up whenever she felt uncalmly. 
Shoto on the other hand spent the time burying his face into Izuku’s neck, kissing his lips, and wishing he could hide away from the world with his little ‘Zuki. He knew he couldn't kiss Deku’s neck though, as it was covered in foundation to hide the hickeys from last night when Deku had comforted Todoroki’s anxiety through passionate... hugging.
“You’ll be okay Baby... You’re going to do great. I love you no matter what, and you don’t need to act any different around these people. They’re trying to impress you, the father of the number one hero. You don’t need to act any different.” Izuku whispered into his boyfriend’s ear, calming him while giving an amazing scalp massage.
 As Shoto met Izuku’s eye contact, he instantly melted in his fingers and realized how much he loved Izuku. 
“Now, here’s the deal. There will be reporters here so we must stick to the strict list of things we can talk about dealing with UA that Aizawa gave us, and we must make sure to talk as much about each other as possible. Talking about ourselves will come off as self-centered, but we should promote each other to the public. We don’t want a bad reputation as people.”
 Momo explained as Jirou giggled, kissing her girlfriend on the cheek to shut her up. “That’ll keep you quiet for a second. Don’t worry guys, it’s not that hard. Momo has been teaching me how to do this fancy stuff for days, and honestly, it’s common knowledge. Follow my league.” She winked at Deku before looking at a nervous-looking Todoroki. Reporters... oh god. Todoroki had a sudden flashback that brought him pain to think of.
“Now, tell me young man, what do you want to do with your life? Your father says you will follow in his footsteps and eventually become the number one hero. Is this true?” The hot, male reporter asked him, shoving a microphone in his blushed face. The lights were blinding and made him hot, and the cute guy in front of him was making him go insane. “Damn.” He blurted out, looking him up and down before staring at the camera in shock from his own words. “Haha, thank you. I can only guess that you are apart of the LGBT community as well. Do you pro-” 
The rest of the reporter’s words were blurred as Shoto saw his father from a far, staring bullets at him. He had just revealed his sexuality to the world, and could only be left to get more sweaty and embarrassed before being able to leave the reporter and cameraman behind. For weeks, magazines were filled with information about Shoto’s words, what his sexual orientation could possibly be, and who is possible love interests could be. 
It took a week before Izuku could drag him out of the depression he fell into, and that was by kissing him.
It was accurate that Shoto wasn’t good with reporters, and Izuku knew that too. In interviews, Shoto had called his father a bastard, had mispronounced his own name, and had once had said that he didn’t want friends in UA. “You’re going to be find Shoto. If anything happens, I’ll be right there to steal the show from you.” Shoto smiled, pinching his boyfriend’s cheek. 
“Oh goodness, we’re here!” Momo opened the car door and stepped out, everyone grabbing their partner’s hand and being met by a hundred different camera flashes, all of them blinding the poor teens. Momo grabbed Jirou and pulled her inside the building, running even in heels. Todoroki, instead, grabbed Izuku, holding him by his side and placing his hand in front of Izuku’s eyes, saving him from being blinded. 
“No comment... no comment...” Todoroki murmured, walking as this was normal for being the 1# hero’s son and a UA student himself. Holding Izuku tightly by the waist, he could only hope that a photo of them would be on the cover of at least one magazine. 
How cute... Once they got inside, Todoroki was happily relived to see that although the inside was much more extravagant and extra, there were only few reporters and their camera men walking around the place. It was a large room with a large staircase in the middle, and a bunch of rooms and hallways off the sides. “You okay Midoryia?” 
Shoto asked as his small boyfriend nodded, blushing and smiling in response. Todoroki sighed... kissing him on the cheek before going to join the girls, gripping Izuku’s hand tightly. “Lovely... Now remember the rules, we must bow from the waist only, smile only a little bit, and our hair must stay nice to entire time.” Momo turned and grabbed four glasses filled with sparkling water, dispersing them among her friends. 
“Lovely, now remember how I told you. Three fingers on one side, two on the other. And you hold it about lower-chest level so-” Momo’s lecture was interrupted by a reporter and her camera man stepping into the conversation. 
“Ahh, it’s the UA students everyone is so eager to meet! Hello, I’m Sasha from Channel News 4, and right now we are at the Conventional Meeting for the Yayorozu Hero Agency and all of it’s special guests, including pro hero All Might, Endeavor, and the hero in training Kyoka Jirou, Izuku Midoryia, Shoto Todoroki, and Momo Yayorozu. Tell me, as young adults, how did you and your friends prepare for such a prestigious event Shoto?” 
The reporter shoved her microphone into Shoto’s face, catching him off guard. Below the smile, Izuku could see that she was hoping Todoroki would say something dramatic and to be on the headlines of their magazines. He had to help his boyfriend. “Shoto lost his voice, so if you wouldn’t mind I’ll speak for him.” Izuku smiled as the news reporter happily moved the microphone to in front of him. 
“Personally, I’ve spent the past few days trying to help Shoto de-stress because after all, he’s Shoto Todoroki. He shouldn’t have to worry about the people here.” Deku smiled, happy with his response as the reporter smirked. 
“Does that mean that you and Shoto believe that he is equal or better than the famous faces we are seeing here today?” She asked as Deku began laughing, catching everyone off guard. 
“You’re so funny Sasha! I know that myself and my friends have been fangirling over all of this ever since we heard about it. With people like All Might and Endeavor here, it is very hard to feel at ease here. After all, we are just training to become what they already are, am I wrong?”
 Shoto had to think over everything, and comprehend how his boyfriend was so well in front of a camera, even tricking the reporter who only wanted drama, gossip, and for life to turn into a reality tv show. “Anyways, we must go. Nice talking to you.” Momo grabbed everyone by the arm and pulled them away, leaving the news crew in the dust. 
“Wait! We have to ask about your sexual orientation, and your views on black lives matter!” She yelled out, but was left with no answer. While Jirou and Momo went off to get food off a platter, Shoto stayed with Izuku and smiled. Grabbing both of his hands, he smiled happily. Such a happy, pure smile. “Thank you ‘Zuki. Thank you so much.” Todoroki would have said more, but the sight of his father coming from across the room behind Izuku stopped him. 
Deku turned around to see Endeavor, swallowing nervously but calming his nerves as he began to think. This was simply Todoroki’s dad, nothing more. Not the pro hero who could burn his face off then and there, but a human being who had brought the love of his life to the world. “Shoto... Midoryia.” Shoto saw his old man’s eyes drift at the two of them holding hands, and the look he was giving was unreadable. 
While on the other side of the room, Momo and Jirou were having a party of their own. Basically gossiping about the boys in their class and what Aizawa had been doing lately with All Might, they found his girly laughs and the way he whispered secrets that he knew from their teenage years to then absolutely lovable. 
“I know! Like, doesn’t Nezu care that he sleeps half of class? Iida teaches more than he does!” Jirou laughed out loud as All Might snorted out his drink. “Dang, I miss being one of the girls.” All Might giggled like a small girl, causing the two to snort their own sparkling. 
“When you’re done with the childs play, I would like to introduce you to someone Momo. Daughter, this is Ria Terrasu. She runs the modeling agency downtown for young, aspiring, female heroes.” Momo’s father introduced the blue-haired, older woman to her. 
“Yes, what your father said. We believe that since female pro heroes are so far and in between, we use our company to get their name out there! Our agency gives you a chance to do commercials with other pros, build your brand, and really find your own place in our society. We also are known for having our... pro lgbtq campaign going on.” Momo and Jirou made eye contact, their eyes sparkling and their hearts smiling. “That’s wonderful! Where do I sign?” Momo exclaimed jokingly, smiling ear to ear as the old woman giggled. 
“I knew you’d like that. All I ask for now is that you think about it. Of course, you’d only be able to do weekends and we would work 9 to 3 on Saturday and Sundays.” She explained as Momo began having second thoughts. Was she truly prepared to add another thing to her to-do list, when she was already a full time student, training to become a pro hero, and starting what seemed to be a perfect relationship with Jirou. “I’ll... I’ll think about it. Thank you Miss, really.” Momo stepped away, looking at Jirou with a sad look in her eyes. 
“W-what's wrong boo? I thought you loved the idea of that! Imagine how much fun you’d have being a model!” Jirou exclaimed as Momo smiled sadly. “Yes, but imagine all the fun we have on the weekends. I’d be missing out on all of that with you. Every hour without you is torture, so why would I sign myself up to do more?” Momo asked as Jirou blushed, kissing Momo softly. “You’re cute. Good job. Let’s go get Deku, we can cry and kiss later.” Jirou winked as Momo blushed even more, beginning to begin another conversation with All Might and make him “one of the girls” again.
While on the other side of the room, Endeavor put his hand out and tried his best to do what appeared to be a small smile. “Pleased to see you again.” He murmured as Deku quickly shook it, happy to see him trying. Shoto, on the other hand, was not thoroughly convinced. 
“Same for you sir. Have you been harassed by reporters today? We were just confronted by one, and man are they crazy!” Deku began to make conversation with the pro hero like it was nothing, even getting a shocked expression from Endeavor in return that he didn’t notice. Finally, this is my chance to show Shoto what I think of his relationship. “Ahh, I went through the same thing when I came in. It’s as if they’ve never heard of personal space.” Shoto’s eyes widened at the fact that his old man had made a joke to his boyfriend. 
“I agree sir. As if they can interview us, we then aren’t allowed to have our personal bubble.” Deku smiled, treating this as another conversation. Endeavor was talking to him, and not being snobbish or rude! What an accomplishment! “What a correct way to put it. I do not know why or how they are in here, but personally, I’ve already requested them to be removed. It’s already enough that we get blinded when we walk from the car to in here. Now that you’re here, I can’t help but as-” 
Before Endeavor could finish, Momo ran to Deku, pulling him aside. “All Might is asking for you! Come on Izu!” She pulled him away, leaving Shoto and his father alone. “What is the deal with All Might? Goodness... I do not understand the obsession with him, especially after his retirement.” Endeavor murmured as Shoto shook his head, smiling sadly. “All Might is the closest thing Midoryia has to a father. I recommend you get used to seeing him.” Todoroki walked away, going to join his friends at the circular table in the banquet hall with everyone else. So I must talk to All Might as well to become familiar with this boy? Man, why can’t this be easy?
Endeavor followed his son to the table to sit down between Shoto and one of Mr. Yayorozu’s business partners. The seating chart had Endeavor, Shoto, Deku, All Might, Momo’s mother, Jirou, Momo, Momo’s father, and then one of the business partners to the Yayorozu hero agency. “Ahh, Endeavor. Nice seeing you after so long.” All Might greeted Endeavor as he swallowed his pride, agreeing with himself that he would try and change as a father, as a father-in-law as well. “Agree.” He did that thing where he was trying to smile, but it just looked awkward. 
Thankfully, before the conversation could become awkward, the spokesperson walked onto the stage, speaking into the microphone. “Hello? Hello everyone. Thank you for joining me for the 81st Yayorozu Hero Agency Convention. To start us off, the owners of this establishment would like to ask All Might, who has so recently retired after giving us a safe way of life for so many years, to come give a speech. Everyone, a round of applause?” All Might blushed, smiling and going up to the stage. 
“T-thank you everyone, really. Goodness, this is unexpected. I would like to start off by saying-” At that moment, Deku looked to hear something beeping under the stage. “All Might! Watch out!” Using the power in his legs, he shot out of his seat, wrapped his arms around All Might, and pushed him off the stage into the corner just as an explosion erupted onto the stage. “Young Midoryia! You just saved my life!” All Might yelled as Izuku looked up to see the room being filled with explosions, causing all of the people inside to rush out of the room in a frazzled, panicked state. 
“Someone is behind all of this, and they’re targeting the pro heroes here. All Might, you need to get out of here!” Izuku exclaimed, picking up his mentor and beginning to walk him out. “Midoryia, I can help him by making a shield of ice! You go and find out who’s causing this! They cannot be far from here!” Shoto instructed as Deku nodded, leaving the banquet hall and entering the main room to find it on fire, large chunks of the ceiling and floor missing. “Deku! We need to stop whoever is doing all of these! They’re only going off whenever someone is getting close to them, so someone must be watching!” Jirou exclaimed, picking up wounded people and beginning to carry them. 
“Quick! Deku, rush up to the security office! It’s on the third floor, and it says Security on the door!” Momo instructed, creating a small bed with wheels and placing the hurt on them. 
Without hesitation, Deku rushed up the flights of stairs and then another until he was on the third floor. Slowly, he began to walk into the office, looking behind the wall to see that a person was sitting at the computer. “Super power charge!” Deku shot out from behind the corner, only to be met by nothing. “Did you not think I couldn’t see you coming through the cameras? You have a lot to learn Izuku!” The villain Toga jumped up, getting out her knife and running at him. 
“Oh no you don’t!” Deku yelled, using his quirk to jump onto the wall and then kick her from behind, pinning her to the ground and knocking her unconscious. Rushing to the computer, he looked around to find where the next bomb was going to go off. Checking the sticky note Toga had written next to the screen, he read 6:15, Floor 3 Left Wing Hallway. Looking at the watch to read 3:14, and then at the screen to see Endeavor walking there, Izuku began to panic. But luckily, Deku worked the best under pressure. Running out of the room and running into Endeavor, he grabbed his arm and used 12% of his quirk to swing Endeavor to the other side of the hallway.
 “Wha- Midoryia!” Endeavor yelled as he hit the ground, before looking towards Izuku to see a bomb going off right under his feet. Deku got launched from his feet, and then slammed into the ceiling, only to fall back to the first floor once the floor beneath him quickly crumbled away. “Oh my god!” Endeavor yelled, running to the unconscious boy before the realization hit him. Deku had just saved Endeavor’, putting himself at risk in the process. Half of Izuku’s arm looked burnt to a crisp, and his leg looked to be twisted incorrectly. “Doctor! Someone, we need a doctor!”
 Endeavor yelled out, surprised to be met by a paramedic, Shoto slowly following behind. “Oh god, Dad! What happened to him?!” Shoto nervously ran to Deku’s side, examining him with his tear-filled eyes. “He saved me son... threw me out of the way before a bomb could hurt me. Luckily, he wasn’t directly under the bomb like I had been, and only got slightly grazed by it.” He explained, feeling nervous himself. Had this poor boy really saved him, when he was a pro hero himself and was hated by the public? What was his deal?
The next time Izuku opened his eyes, he was in a hospital surrounded by Momo and Jirou sleeping with each other on the small pull-out couch, and Shoto sitting on the spinning chair. “Oh god, you’re awake.” Todoroki smiled, running to Izuku’s side. “Glad to see you’re okay Zuki.” He blushed, before the door opened behind him to reveal his father. “I think we all are.” He held a balloon that looked pitiful next to his large size, and flowers that looked expensive. “Dad?” Todoroki asked, shocked to see his father standing before his eyes. “Shoto, come out in the hall with me.” His father instructed, leaving the things on the table and leaving out the door. 
Shoto kissed Deku’s cheek before following him, shutting the door behind him. “Son, I must ask you something important, and I want the honest answer.” Endeavor asked as Shoto’s eyes widened at the sudden use of “son”. “I need to know if all of this is true. Are you sure you’re gay? Are you sure that you want to date All Might’s successor? ... Are you in love with Izuku Midoryia?” Endeavor asked, turning to face Shoto who stood there, leaning against the door with a surprised conversation. “I don’t see why you need to know any of t-”.
“Because how am I supposed to change if I don’t know a single thing about you?! How can I become a good father for you if I don’t even know you? Why don’t I know you Shoto?...” Shoto could have swore that he saw a single tear being shed from his father’s eyes. “Why did you come out to the whole world before me? Do you realize how much of a failure that makes me?” Todoroki was right. Endeavor was crying before his very eyes. 
“Why can’t I just be a terrible guy? Why must I wake up and realize my terrible actions after I’ve done them? Oh Shoto...” Endeavor put his hand on Shoto’s shoulder, pressing firmly on him. “I will be someone who you can be happy to call your father. I’m not asking for you to forget, but I am asking for a chance to prove myself to you, to your siblings... to the world.” Shoto shed a tear before putting his hand out, recreating the same gesture that Endeavor had done to Deku. 
“One more chance old man, but only because I want this to work just as much as you do.” Todoroki confessed, before hearing yells inside the hospital room. Running inside, he was met by the sight of Momo and Jirou screeching happily, jumping up and down. “W-what happened? What’s going on?” Shoto demanded, seeing that Izuku was overjoyed as well. “The modeling agency called me! They want us both!” Jirou yelled, throwing her phone to the couch before kissing her girlfriend. “Hmm, I guess that banquet was the best thing for all of us.” Endeavor murmured below his breath.
