Home Is Where You Are

(Pro-Hero Deku x F!Reader)

WARNINGS⚠️‼️: Slight Teasing, Cursing, Being Alone, Sad Thoughts, Abandonment Issues

Genre: Angst/Fluff

Alone.

Again.

Something you'd grown quite used to over the years since getting together with your hero boyfriend Izuku.

You really shouldn't have expected anything else considering he was the new Symbol of Peace, hero work was of utmost importance to him, you understood that yes, but..

It seemed he never had just one moment for you anymore.

But again, you knew what you were getting into when you got together with him.

His job would always come before you, that was something you accepted a long time ago.

He would always come home from work, eat, shower if he had the energy, and then fall asleep without giving you so much as a goodnight kiss.

At first you thought nothing of it, that kind of work would tire anyone out.

But as the days droned on, they soon turned into weeks, then months, then a year.

An entire year of him coming home from work only to eat, shower, sleep, and then wake up just to do it all over again.

At this point you were questioning whether or not he even had feelings for you anymore, but you never bothered to ask, too afraid that you might be right.

Tonight you had a plan.

You had an idea to have a romantic date, just the two of you, no hero work, no stacks of paperwork to fill out, just you, him, and a night full of movies and food.

You'd hoped this plan would work..

The familiar sound of keys jangling outside your front door alerted you immediately and a small smile crept onto your face, rushing to the door to open it.

Once you got the door open, there stood your fluffy haired boyfriend, the same blank expression on his face that he'd always come home with.

You were by far way shorter than him by comparison, so he had to look down at you to even see you in front of him.

"Welcome home my love! I have something I want to talk to you about!" You squealed, a small giggle escaping your lips as you tried your best to contain your excitement.

A small smile made its way to his face, but something about it seemed forced, almost like he didn't want to.

Ignoring your intrusive thought, you stepped to the side to let him in, closing the door and locking it behind him once he made it through.

"You've been really busy with work lately.. It seems you never have a day off to yourself so I decided to plan a weekend for just the two of us!"

His movement ceased, head dropping down low as if he were ashamed of something, but instead of saying anything, it was silent.

Now you were beginning to get nervous, maybe he really had lost feelings for you, maybe he just got tired of you but didn't want to hurt your feelings."

"I planned a movie marathon.. Remember when I told you I'd never seen Star Wars and you flipped out saying we were gonna watch them together? Well, I bought the entire saga earlier this week and thought maybe this weekend we could sit down and watch the entirety of it."

He still didn't speak, but he had resumed untying his boots so he could take them off.

"I'll even make some of your favorite foods! It's been awhile since we had anything homemade so I went to the grocery store as well to-"

"I can't."

Your heart sank deep into your chest.

"What..?" You barely muttered.

"I said I can't, Y/N." His tone was bitter and harsh, almost as if he were annoyed he had to repeat himself.

You took a step back, bewildered at his response, all the anger and frustration you'd bottled up from the way he'd been treating you, finally boiling over.

"I expected as much from someone who can't even give his girlfriend a simple fucking kiss goodnight." You spat harshly.

He turned to look at you with wide eyes, as if he were surprised with your outburst, then just as quickly as the shock came, it left, replaced with anger and frustration.

"You know I've been busy Y/N, hero work isn't easy, I told you that when we first got together, you seemed perfectly fine with it before." His voice was lower than usual, his bangs now covering his eyes.

"Too busy to say hello to me when you come home? Too busy to tell me you're okay? Too busy to at LEAST give me a kiss before you fall asleep? How do you think I feel in this situation?! Have you ever honestly stopped to think, 'Hey, maybe I should at least tell my girlfriend I'm okay and not dead'."

Things were starting to heat up between the two of you, yeah sure the two of you got into small arguments in the past, but this one was different, this one was bound to leave a mark.

Although you couldn't see his eyes, his mouth was still visible, his tell was when he'd bite his lower lip. He only ever did so when he was confused, angry, or anxious, and right now he seemed more angry if anything.

"I don't have the energy to deal with this right now Y/N, just drop it, we'll talk about it later."

Like hell you were going to drop it!

"No!" You shouted, body beginning to tremble softly.

"You never seem to have the energy to do anything with me anymore! All you know how to do now is work, eat, shower, and sleep! When was the last time you even acknowledged me or touched me?"

He didn't answer, biting down on his lip much harsher than before.

A small pitiful chuckle left your lips as you stood up straight and wrapped your arms around your body tightly, hugging yourself for comfort.

"You don't have an answer, do you.. I don't even feel like I have a boyfriend anymore, just a roommate that I don't associate myself with.. That's how alone I've been." Your voice was beginning to tremble as you spoke, body now trembling more noticeably.

Your tough exterior was starting to crumble slowly, pieces of it being torn away from your body like broken glass in a fresh wound.

Each piece that crumbled sent searing pain throughout your body like venom, it was agonizing.

"Y/N I-"

"I'm the one talking right now! For once can you please just hear me! Listen to me!"

Your pleads seemed successful, as he slowly closed his mouth and stared at the floor.

"I know very well what I signed up for when I agreed to be with you Izuku Midoriya. Don't you ever think for one second that I didn't." You spat, gritting your teeth harshly.

Finally he looked up at you again, pupils dilating upon hearing you use his full name.

"The thing is.. I know what I fell in love with.. WHO I fell in love with, and that's not you anymore, you've grown distant and cold, you've left me alone with my thoughts every single day for an entire year, and now I'm stuck wondering if you even love me anymore."

Really, you didn't want to cry, especially not in front of him. You didn't want to be seen as weak for crying over something so simple when you knew others had it much worse than you.

But with each word that left your mouth as you talked to him, hearing yourself finally admit everything you'd been feeling outloud, you found that task to be quite difficult.

"I'm stuck wondering whether or not I'm even worthy of your touch, eyes, your love, anything from you.. I'm stuck wondering if one day you'll come home and tell me you no longer love me."

The pain and anguish you'd been feeling for months was starting to really catch up to you, tears brimming your eyes as you hoped he would finally hear you.

"I've been so utterly alone, even when you're around, and it shouldn't be like that.. I know hero work isn't easy, I know your job requires your full attention, but I wasn't the one that approached you for a relationship." You glanced up at him through teary eyes, trying to cover your pain with a smile.

"I've been so alone I've started to actually think about packing everything and just leaving without telling you, because even if I did tell you, I feel like you wouldn't care, you'd just stay silent like you are now."

It had been a long time since you'd felt like this, abandoned, like there was no one else in the world that cared about you, that you were just alone to face everything head on.

Izuku had told you of his past, keeping certain parts out that you were curious about, but had respected his privacy enough not to dig deeper.

Everything about how people constantly bullied him and doubted him because he wanted to become a hero, despite him being quirkless.

He told you how he felt in those times, how alone and trapped he felt, coming close to giving up on his dream when his idol basically told him it wasn't possible for him to become a hero without a quirk.

He KNEW what loneliness felt like, he KNEW what abandonment felt like, so why..?

Why was he treating you the same way he was treated back then..

Your bottom lip began to tremble as you stared at him painfully awaiting his reply. At this point you were desperate for him to say something, anything, but he'd gone completely silent, bottom lip stuck between his top teeth harshly.

A short pitiful laugh escaped your lips when the silence had gone on for far too long, and a simple smile appeared. "Goodbye Izuku." Was all you said before grabbing your phone and walking out the door.

He didn't try to stop you, he didn't even call out for you.. He did..

Nothing...

Yep, just as you'd suspected, he'd lost feelings for you a long time ago.

He might've thought it was better to stick around and not say anything because he didn't want to hurt you, but this.. This was far worse than just telling you upfront how he felt.

***Later that evening***

"I'd say just give him some time to think things over Y/N, honestly I think this argument between the two of you was a good thing all things considered."

"I don't mean to sound like I've lost all hope for our relationship Kiri, but like I said before, an entire year without him even so much as glancing in my direction just makes me think he doesn't love me anymore." You sighed, staring blankly at your black phone screen.

You'd left the house in such a hurry that you hadn't realized you had no destination, so here you were now, spending the night with Kirishima and Bakugou who were supposed to be strategizing for a big mission they had coming up.

"Quit your bitching about the damn nerd already, it's starting to piss me off! Why are you even here pestering us about your stupid relationship anyway?!"

Kiri let out a dramatic sigh and mouthed for you not to listen to the raging blond in the next room over.

"He's a little on edge right now, always gets like this when we have an important mission coming up, just don't pay any mind to him alright?" He tried reassuring you, patting your back lightly.

But.. Honestly, Bakugou was right.

You shouldn't of been here, you knew the two of them were also busy, but still asked to come spend the night because of your own selfishness.

No matter where you went lately, you felt like an intruder, like all you were doing was getting in the way of people that had more important things to do than sit around listening to your relationship problems.

"Y/N..?"

Kiri's soft, worried tone snapped you out of your thoughts, only for you to realize that your body was beginning to tremble, and silent tears were now dripping onto your blank phone screen carelessly.

"I.. Love him.." You muttered out hopelessly, setting your phone down and bringing your hands close to your face.

"Even now.. As angry as I am, I still love him.. I want.." You paused, sniffling quietly as you tried to hold back the waterworks.

Bakugou had since poked his head into the doorway of the living room, a somewhat blank expression on his face as he silently listened to your struggles.

Kirishima desperately wanted to help you, but when Bakugou had shook his head no, he stayed put, red irises staring at your breaking exterior.

"..I so desperately want things to get better.. I really do, when I got with him.. I told my mom and dad that he was the one I wanted to marry someday.. To have a family with, grow old with.. But now.."

That was it, the last piece of your wall had finally shattered..

A broken sob emitted from your trembling form as you tried your best to continue.

"Now it seems like everything is being torn away from me, I don't know what to do, I feel so lost!"

"I want to go home, I want to go home to him because he makes me feel safe, before any of this happened he'd been the first person to make me feel safe, the first person to make me forget all the bad things and replace them with good.. I just.. He is my home and without him, I'm just lost, alone, and so scared!" The sobbing had become more violent, your voice growing hoarse as you continued to shout.

No more words came out of your mouth, if they did, they were a slew of babbled incoherent words that no one else listening could understand.

When was the last time you broke down like this..?

Matter of fact, when was the last time you broke down over loving someone..

The air was being sucked out of your lungs with every exasperated inhale you made, and it wasn't until Kirishima had his arms wrapped around you, that you realized you were trying to push him away.

"Get off of me!" You shouted in a fit of rage.

Kiri didn't let go, if anything he held onto you tighter, glancing at Bakugou with worried eyes as they both watched you thrash and jolt to get out of the crimson haired man's arms.

"I'm not letting you go until you calm down Y/N, please stop thrashing like this, I don't want to have to activate my quirk.." He muttered quietly, barely audible to your ears.

The thrashing stopped when you heard a familiar voice from where Bakugou was standing.

Whipping your head towards his direction, you noticed Bakugou had his phone in his hand, with Izuku's caller ID on the screen, the call had been going on since the beginning of your outburst.

"When did you have the time to pull your phone out dude?" Kiri asked from behind you, still hugging you, but not as tightly as before.

"Tch. It's none of your damn business shitty hair, just shut up and listen. Now that she's finally calmed down, I think it's time the two of them figure their shit out here and now. I'm not doing this back and forth bullshit." The angry blond mumbled, closing his eyes.

The room was silent for a moment, an unbearable, thick silence that twisted your gut into knots.

"Y/N, are you listening..?"

A nauseating feeling washed over you upon hearing what you had now considered to be, your ex boyfriends soft tone of voice.

Just the way he called your name.. It was the same way as when the two of you got together, and it pained you.

"Answer him ya crybaby! We aren't gonna sit around all night!"

"Hey man, give her some time to process, you of all people should know how meltdowns work." Kiri patronized, finally letting go of you.

The blond rolled his eyes and let out a deep, frustrated sigh, before shooting a threatening glance in your direction.

"I'm listening.." You almost whispered, thinking Izuku hadn't heard you.

"Did you mean it?"

What did he mean by that?

You got so worked up you said things you never would've said if you had been in a better state of mind. Sometimes it was things you'd regret, or things you'd find too embarrassing to admit out loud.

Finally it clicked in your head.

He was talking about what you'd said earlier in regards to your feelings for him.

But you wanted to play stupid, just to hear him repeat what you said.

"What do you mean by that.."

Bakugou looked as if he wanted to intervene and call you out on your blatantly obvious bullshit, but instead, he sighed again and rubbed his temple in agitation.

"Did you mean it when you said you wanted to marry me, have a family, and grow old together..? Did you mean it when you said I was your home.. Your safe place..?" His tone had shifted dramatically, now it sounded as if he were on the verge of crying.

You shot a questioning glance at Kiri, who had been silent throughout the entire conversation, silently pleading with your eyes on what you should say.

It wasn't that you didn't mean every word you said, you just didn't want to give the freckled man even more of a reason to dislike you, if he didn't already..

"Tell him how you really feel Y/N. Things will work out more smoothly if you're open and honest with your feelings. If the two of you are going to be in a relationship, that's one thing you have to understand. Communication is very important, and that goes for you too Midoriya." The last part was a little louder so the man on the other side of the phone could hear him loud and clear.

Looking away from Kiri, you took a deep breath, telling yourself that everything would be okay, even if things went horribly wrong.

"I meant every word Zuku. You of all people should know that I don't lie or mess around when it comes to someone else's feelings."

The trembling in your body finally died down, patiently awaiting the man’s response from the other end of the call.

Although you were still nervous of what might happen..

Right now, there were two options.

One: Things could go terribly wrong and you’ll end up single, and going back to your old job as a waitress for some shitty restaurant downtown, or..

Two: He’d accept your feelings and everything would be fine, normal.. Well at least what you described as "normal".

Kirishima had nudged you a little with his elbow, stealing your attention from the phone call temporarily.

"I'm proud of you for telling him how you really feel, good job Y/N." His shark tooth smile lit up your entire world.

You didn't have many friends. But you were grateful for the ones you did have, after all, you probably wouldn't of been able to speak your mind if it weren't for these two.

"Thanks man.. I really wouldn't of been able to do this if it weren't for you and angry pom-pom over there."

"EXCUSE ME?! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" The angry blond in question snarled, gripping his phone so tight his knuckles turned white.

"Kacchan, calm down please.. I have to say something to Y/N." Bakugou sighed in annoyance, muttering some smart words under his breath about the greenette on the other end, making a quiet giggle escape past your lips.

"Y/N, if you don't mind.. I'd like for you to come home so we can continue this conversation in a more.. Private setting, I really don't want Kacchan and Kirishma butting into our private life.." Izuku's voice was shaky and uncertain, he was still getting used to sticking up for himself.

Kirishima rubbed the back of his neck before placing a gentle hand on your shoulder, a reassuring smile doting his lips as he nodded his head in agreement.

"Go home and talk it out, just remember to keep your cool and be honest, don't hold back, but don't be a jerk about it." The last bit was rushed, as if he'd thought you wouldn't be civil about it.

In all honesty you didn't blame him for thinking that, considering you did blow up on your greenette boyfriend before he could even get a word in earlier in the day.

The two of you exchanged quick hugs.

It kinda sucked that you weren't very used to friendly interactions with people, it had been awhile since you'd gotten a hug from anyone really, so the warm tight embrace from the manly man really made you feel better than before.

As you gathered your things and headed towards the door, you paused, turning around to give the slightly ticked off blond a soft smile.

"Thank you Katsuki."

"Tch. I didn't do anything ya damn crybaby." He retorted, shoving his phone back into his pocket.

"You did though. You helped me, both of you did, and for that I am forever grateful.." You opened the door, stepping outside into the cool midnight breeze, inhaling the crisp scent of the autumn wind.

"I couldn't of asked for better friends.. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to just show up or text me, you're always welcome wherever I am."

*Back at Home*

You hadn't been nervous the entire time you were on your way back home, but now.. As you stood at the door of the place you'd believed not even 2 hours ago was no longer your home, it was like something in your gut was tossing and turning like an uncalm sea.

The doorknob was mere inches away from your hand, yet you couldn't muster up the strength to actually touch it. You were frozen in time to say the least.

What if things don't go well..

What if everything goes wrong..

I'll have nowhere to go, I won't know what to do..

Why am I so nervous???

You thought to yourself, trying to gather up enough courage to turn the doorknob.

Taking a deep breath in, you closed your eyes and reached for the doorknob, then exhaled quickly, but before you could turn the knob, the door opened.

"Y/N?" Hearing his voice so close to yours just made you want to break down in his arms.. He sounded so worried and broken.

Opening your eyes again, you were shocked at what was before you.

He was crying..

Although the tears fell silently, although he wiped his eyes to discard the evidence of his hurt, you stood still in the doorway in shock.

"Y/N I.." He fell to his knees and covered his freckled face with the palms of his hands, a quiet sniffle protruding from his mouth. "Please don't go.." He sobbed.

The hands once covering his face, were now snaking through his hair, grabbing hold to tiny unkempt tufts.

You were at a complete loss for words. Despite all the confidence you left Kiri's place with, you really couldn't find the right thing to say to the unwinding man in front of you.

Even though you couldn't speak, you acted, reaching your hands out to cup the sides of his face softly, but when his crying didn't cease, you knelt down low beside him and told him to open his eyes.

With a little hesitation, the freckled hero opened his eyes which were puffy and red from all the crying he'd been doing, emerald irises staring into your loving E/C ones.

You took this moment to really admire every freckle that dotted your lovers face like constellations, each one having a different beauty to it than the next. You thought back to when you used to trace invisible lines on his back to see which constellations you could scrounge up.

He thought you were silly for doing such a thing, but nevertheless, he'd stay firmly planted on his tummy, allowing you to lightly trace his back.

His bright shining emerald irises also held a special place in your heart. You couldn't count the many times you'd gotten lost in them while doing something important.

And his lips... He had a scar over his upper lip, which he'd had since you'd met him. He told you he'd gotten it fighting Shigaraki a long time ago, same with other scars that littered his tan skin everywhere you looked.

Without much thought, you lightly traced your thumb over the scar, watching as his lips slightly parted upon feeling the gentle touch.

"I always worry about you.. These scars are a constant reminder to me that I'll wake up one day and you won't be here.." You muttered, hoping he hadn't heard you.

A calloused hand touched the side of your face, before a gentle thumb slid beneath your eye. It was at this moment that you realized you were crying again.

"You never check in with me anymore.. I spent so many nights wondering if you were going to come home or if that front door would never open.. I'm scared to lose you Zuku.." You shamelessly admitted, leaning your forehead on his own.

Thinking back to what Kiri had advised you to do before you left, you opened your mouth to continue to express how you felt, but before a word came out of your mouth, you were stopped by a gentle kiss to the cheek.

Sure you'd received plenty of cheek kisses from him in the past, but it'd been an entire year since you'd last had one, that the action felt almost foreign to you.

"I love you Y/N, I really really do. I know I haven't been treating you right for a long time and I have no one else to blame but myself for that.. You've constantly gone out of your way to make things better for me, and despite how I have been treating you, you've stayed.. You've tried to help me, you haven't given up on me.." His head lowered after realizing what he'd said.

Although he didn't say it outloud, you could tell he felt extremely guilty about the past year, his eyes told on him.

"I've treated you so horribly Y/N, so the real question is.. Why have you continued to support me and stay by my side despite everything..? Why do you continue to feel love towards me when I haven't even shown an ounce to you for an entire year..?"

The pain in his voice broke your heart. You hadn't heard him sound this upset for a long time.

But..

He had a good question..

"Come on Zuku, the answer to that question is so blatantly obvious.."

Nuzzling a hand underneath his chin, you lifted it up so he was looking directly at you once again.

"I want an honest answer Y/N, I-" He paused and averted his gaze momentarily, as if he were struggling to figure out what to say next, before finally gazing in your direction once again. "I-I want to hear you say it!" He shouted, clearly embarrassed that he was practically demanding you tell him what he wanted to hear.

You couldn't help but smile gently at your shy, dorky boyfriend, letting go of his chin to pinch the bridge of his nose lightly.

"I'm proud of you for telling me what you want instead of staying silent. I'd rather you tell me these things instead of wallowing in misery y'know." You joked, ruffling his hair a bit.

It was at this moment that the two of you had grown silent, eyes gazing into one another's as if they were endless oceans under the starry night sky.

But just as quickly as the silence came, it went..

"It's because I love you Izuku. I knew for a long time that I loved you, even before you asked me out. Back when we were still best buds in college.. Which might sound weird coming out now, but it's the truth-" The lovesick look in his eyes made you feel warm and light as you tried your best to continue pouring your heart out to him. If you were being honest, instead of talking, you just wanted to kiss him..

But Kiri was right about communication being important in a relationship, so you fought the urge and let out a content sigh.

"You're my home, my happiness, you made me feel loved when no one else did, and for that, I will always love you. You and I both know how it feels to be alone and scared, and as much as I know you probably deserved my leave, I stayed.. Because I couldn't allow myself to make you go through that again.. I know hero work can be time consuming and dangerous, I know it's even more difficult for you because you're number one, and I can never hold your own duties against you-" You leaned forward a bit, touching your forehead to his once again and closing your eyes peacefully.

"You're a hero to the world, and a hero to me Zuku. You're smart, stubborn, kindhearted, and dorky, but you'll always be mine as long as you'll allow it.."

The amount of love you had for this man was absolutely ridiculous. A long history of bad relationships and friendships made you think that there was simply no one out there for you, losing all the hope you had left in your heart and soul.

Once you'd actively stopped seeking out companionship, regardless of relationship or friendship matters, that's when the greenette stumbled into your life and changed everything.

Really..

You hadn't expected to fall for him so quickly and easily. The invisible wall you'd built to prevent people from coming and going into your life as they pleased, had been knocked down the moment you realized you were in love.

"This might sound crazy, but I remember the exact moment I realized I wanted you to be my forever person.." The words came out of your mouth so naturally, like the confidence you'd had before was resurfacing.

Izuku leaned his head even closer to your own, looking deep into your eyes as if to urge you to continue.

"I was really sick. Like.. Stomach flu sick.. I didn't attend classes for an entire week because I was too busy puking my guts out. Of course wonderboy over here was worried sick about me within the first few minutes of me not being in class as per usual."

"Wonderboy? Since when do you call me that?" Izuku teased, running a hand through your hair gently.

"I've always called you that, just not outloud.. I was too embarrassed.." You admitted, a light chuckle following suit.

For a moment you hesitated to finish sharing your memory, believing that it was too cheesy and stupid, but when Izuku pleaded with his eyes for you to continue, you swallowed your embarrassment and carried on.

"When you randomly showed up at my apartment, I was surprised to say the least.. Not to mention embarrassed as hell because I looked like absolute garbage, and felt like it too."

The playful glare your boyfriend gave you after saying this was almost enough to make you laugh, but you resisted the urge.

*Flashback *

"Izuku?"

"Y/N! I was so worried about you! You weren't answering any of my texts or calls, you didn't show up to class at all, I thought something bad happened to you!" Izuku shouted, concern and worry shrouding his eyes.

A frustrated sigh left your lips, as you rolled your eyes dramatically. "I'm sick Midoriya, I was either sleeping or becoming best buds with the toilet bowl for the past two hours, I promise there's nothing for you to worry about, I'll get better soon." As you were beginning to close the door in his face, he wedged his foot in between the door, preventing you from returning to your comfortable bed.

"Y/N, I'm still worried about you, you know how many people die from being sick a year? The stomach flu no less? 34,157 people."

That seemed to get you to open the door.

"Yeah and? I've been sick like this before, I'll be fine Midoriya, now please go back to class, I really don't want you to get into any trouble, nor do I want to get you sick." You could feel your stomach begin to grow uneasy again, so you were trying to get him to leave quickly, but no matter how hard you tried to convince him that you'd be fine, he wouldn't budge.

Once your stomach had gotten worse, you finally decided to let him in, before speeding to the bathroom, only to regurgitate violently.

You hadn't had time to lock the bathroom door, let alone shut it, so when the first wave washed over, you were met face to face with the greenette, who looked more worried than anything.

"How many times have you done this today?" He quipped, leaning against the doorframe nonchalantly.

"Why does it matter?" Your head lurched forward again for what seemed to be the 5th time that day, groaning once you'd finished the second wave.

A sigh left the man's mouth as he walked over to you, grabbing your hair and putting it into a ponytail with the hair tie he had on his wrist.

"You're stubborn when you're sick." Was all he said as he gently rubbed your back in small circles to try and help you feel better.

You attempted to laugh, but coughed, a gravelly sigh leaving you instead. "Look, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself Midoriya, I'm not being stubborn, I'm just telling you that I don't need your help."

After your stomach had finally emptied out all of its contents, Midoriya instructed you to take a cold shower, to which you reluctantly listened.

He'd disappeared after grabbing you a clean towel and a fresh set of pajamas, leaving you to your shower.

Cleaning yourself off, and letting the cool water roll down your overheated face, thoughts began to swirl around in your head.

Wondering why Izuku of all people would rather be here taking care of you and making sure you were okay, instead of attending class.

Wondering why he sounded so worried and concerned about your health, despite only being friends with you for a few months.

Everything going on right now was confusing you. Maybe it was because you were sick, but you had the feeling it was genuine confusion. You weren't used to people caring about you the way he did.

After your shower, you'd gotten dressed and brushed your teeth, trying to get rid of the nasty taste in your mouth, before making your way back into your living room.

"You feeling any better?"

Ignoring his question, you plopped down onto the couch, grabbing the remote to turn the TV on.

"Y/N I asked-"

"Why are you doing this for me?" You cut in before he could finish.

The silence that filled the room after that, was so thick, not even the usual hustle and bustle of the cars outside of your apartment complex could be heard.

Maybe you shouldn't of come off as ungrateful, that's not how you wanted it to go at all.. You chalked it all up to being confused.

"Why even ask something like that." It came off as more of a statement than a question, his tone had completely changed.

"Because I genuinely want to know why you even care about me. We've only been friends for a few months Midoriya, out of everyone you could've picked to be your friend, you decided to pick me, the one who no one wants to be friends with, let alone associate with because of the rumors being spread about me. So let me ask you again-"

You looked up at him, finally meeting his stern emerald irises.

"Why are you doing this for me, Izuku Midoriya."

For a moment his mouth opened and closed rhythmically, as if he were trying to find the right words to say.

When he lifted his gaze to you once again, his eyes held a fondness you'd seen before.

The same kind of fondness they held when he talked about how cool all of his peers quirks were.

The same fondness they held when he reminisced about his days at UA high.

The fondness you'd realized weaved it's way around your broken heart and helped to slowly heal it with tender love and care.

"Ever since I was young, I wanted to grow up to be just like AllMight. I wanted to save people, become a hero, and do it all with a smile-" He paused and glanced at the scars that littered his open palms, before curling them up into a fist and smiling.

"I don't care who someone is, or what kind of danger they're in, I'm going to attain my dream of becoming a hero by saving everyone that needs it. Since you're my friend Y/N, I value you. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you even when you thought you didn't need it."

"So let me take care of you and help you feel better.. Please.. Will you allow me to take another step towards my dream by helping you recover?"

This was the very moment you realized you'd fallen again, even after telling yourself you weren't going to for a long time.

And it wasn't his want to help you recover, no..

His determination, his willpower, the eagerness to attain his dreams was what made you fall, wanting to help you recover was just the cherry on top.

~End Flashback~

"From that moment on, I knew I'd fallen in love with you. The fire in your eyes as you spoke about your hopes and dreams, drew me in. Everything about you from then on just made me smile and realize that I was so lucky to have you by my side." You stared up at the night sky, the fond smile on your face growing as you went on.

"You helped me realize a lot of things about myself, the world, others, and your determination inspired me to find my own. Like I said before Izuku, you're a hero to the world, but a hero to me as well, and for that, I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am."

Turning around to face him once again, you were immediately pulled forward, right cheek flush against his chest as he held the back of your head tenderly.

"Thank you.." Was all you heard from above you, cheek still pressed firmly against his chest.

You wanted to ask him 'What for?' But it seemed he'd anticipated your question, answering without you muttering a single word.

"For loving me, supporting me, sticking with me through everything, despite everything you have been there to cheer me on.. I thought for sure.. Tonight would be the night I lost you forever.. I was scared.. I hurt you and I want to make it up to you in any way I can.." He tilted your chin so you were looking up at him now, the moonlight reflecting off of your watering eyes as the two of you stared lovingly at one another for what seemed like eons.

There was no thought that popped into your head, no hesitant feeling as you felt your body move on its own, leaning up to kiss the man in front of you. The one you called home, the one you called yours...

When your lips finally collided with one another, that same electric spark you felt when kissing him for the first time, hit your body at full force, and the only thing you cared about in this moment, was him, the way he tasted, the way he felt, the way he so lovingly kissed you back with more passion and love than you'd ever experienced before.

His lips were so soft, almost like fluffy pillows against your own.

He tasted like mint, which made you lean in even more.

You missed this..

You missed him..

The tenderness of the kiss soon disappated, his soft plush lips leaving your own to trail light feathery kisses from your chin, all the way down to the soft supple flesh of your neck.

"I love you.. So so much Izuku.." You whispered, leaning your head back so he could continue showering you in soft kisses.

You were crying again, but this time.. It was from joy.. The simple joy of being so close to the man you loved, feeling his tender kisses against your warm skin, his messy green tufts tickling your nose just a little.

"I love you too Y/N.. I always have and always will.." He muttered against your neck, before refocusing on showering you in kisses.

An intimate, vulnerable moment like this, one you haven't shared with him in awhile, was enough for you.

It was then you realized..

You were finally back home.

20 questions for fic writers

Thank you @mustlovesteve for the tag!! 💕🥹

1. How many works do you have an AO3? 50!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 310,900

3. What fandoms do you write for? Primarily Stranger Things/Steddie at the moment, but I dabble still with bnha, mxtx, naruto, and other fandoms (just unpublished).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Secret Deku Box - bnha/bkdk I’ll share this with you, so leave it behind - bnha/bkdk a kiss, a kiss, for you and for me - kny/inotan Worth It - bnha/bkdk if you can't find the morning light, i'm here tonight - bnha/bkdk

5. Do you respond to comments? I always TRY to but I get really shy or self conscious or awkward, so sometimes it takes me an age to build up the nerve and then I feel weird about how long it's been LOL but I do read through my comments regularly, especially when I feel like giving up on a WIP.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I'm a happy-endings-always kind of writer! So at MOST, my fics end with an ambiguous ending I was not born to drown (i gave baku cancer and don't tell you one way or the other that he recovers or dies, except in my author's note. i was helping to take care of someone with cancer at the time, this fic made me SOB to write).

My most recent fic is probably it though, The Waking Wait my attempt at horror, but I still wouldn't say it's a devastating ending imo. Probably the angstiest though!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Like said above, MOST of my fics are happy endings, if not just pure fluff. I will say my favorite happy ending was the night is long which was my answer to the end of The Untamed. I reread it sometimes and still get super giddy about it.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I wrote/write bkdk. What do you think? LOL Nothing recently at all though, and never anything like my voltron days

9. Do you write smut? Yes! I love writing romance, and I really enjoy writing those intimate moments. I think people look at smut and say "that's just porn." But, it's also another way to show love between characters and most o the time, that's what I'm writing it for.

Though other times, ofc, it is just porn LMAO

10. Do you write crossovers? I used to dabble in a spn/teen wolf crossover, and more recently I think about a stranger things/spn crossover, but I never actually write them seriously LOL

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I am unaware if I have!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! I have lost the links to them though! I'm devastated!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I've started a few co-written fics before, but they never go anywhere for one reason or another. I also don't think I'm a good co-writing partner, so I never really chase opportunities to.

14. What's your all time favorite ship? UHH I have many ships that live with me forever (destiel, bkdk, steddie, haulian) and I'll regularly pop through to read and reread fics even if I'm not very active in the fandom. I have some that I'll have a craving for randomly after years not thinking about them but are still integral to my personality (hannigram, stucky, kakairu, wangxian, bagginshield). I'm sure there's some I've forgotten to list here LOL

But could I pick an ALL TIME favorite?? Could I, if I could only pick ONE ship that I'm only allowed to read/write for the rest of my life and nothing else EVER AGAIN, could I make a choice????? Probably not. I could be happy stuck with any of the above LOL

(It also might be hualian tho LMAO)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Look, I am always aiming to finish all of my WIPs, even if they haven't updated in five years now (YES, even 100 Ways to Say). I think I should write fics to completion, and not publish them—but I usually post stuff thinking "No one will read this" and then I'm super wrong LMAO

However, Mitsukeru actually used to be a WIP that I only changed to complete in the past year or so. I hope no one has actually been holding on to that updating since 2017, but I think Hori did a better job than me so I'll concede my alternate ending— WAIT I went to reread it, actually it kinda slaps. STILL it may never get finished but who knows hahahahahah

16. What are your writing strengths? I think, and I've been told, that I'm very good at characterization which pleases me to no end. I feel pretty confident across a wide array of genres.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I don't have staying power, and I don't have any strength in longer, intricate plots. What I really want to write is like slice-of-life stuff, but most people don't read that. It's also why I haven't attempted to break out of fanfic into actual novel writing.

I also think I've lost a lot of coherency over the past two years. Sometimes I'll write something, publish, and them come back to read it months later and be like "that actually would make zero sense if you didn't live in my head." It's something I'm really struggling to correct, especially with there will be sad songs IM TIRED AND NOTHING MAKE SENSE ANYMORE

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I think it takes effort to do it RIGHT. I do it a lot in my writing for anime fandoms, but 1) I've had two years of Japanese classes, 2) my audience GENERALLY knows the handful of words I'm willing to toss in, and 3) Japanese honorifics really add something to dialogue that doesn't have an English counterpart.

Now, I've done the same in danmei fandoms as well, and I'm unsure how successful I am there! I always try to approach it respectfully, and thankfully readers are generally happy to help me adjust (thank you!). A lot of that vocab is pretty common knowledge for that audience as well.

NOW, what I don't enjoy is whole sections of dialogue in another language that I have to go translate in google or scroll down and lose my place, regardless of the writer's fluency. This is ESPECIALLY annoying on mobile LOL

To each their own ALWAYS, but to me, it only makes sense if it's narratively important to the plot (like keeping something secret from the audience and the POV character) or if you're JRR Tolkien (or Tolkien fanfic writers LOL)

19. First fandom you wrote for? GOD okay the first fic I can genuinely remember writing was for Beyblade. Like, the FIRST beyblade anime back in 2001. I was 10.

I do wonder if I wrote anything for digimon though. Elementary school me was in a chokehold. I used to draw a digimon on each of my class folders, it's a core memory of mine and also how I made my first friend LOL

20. Favorite fics you've written? I'm immensely proud of good winter, i'll be with you even though I at the moment have no idea how to finish it correctly. I've rewritten the epilogue three times now IM TIRED and deeply unsatisfied each time. BUT I'm super proud of the plot line hahaha

Tagging: I am too shy and awkward to tag people, so if you come across this and wish that you had been tagged, CONSIDER YOURSELF TAGGED and make sure you link me so I can see your answers! uwu

#shush mal #tag meme #i got too wordy #im so sorry #thanks for reading my babbling

So, I'm catching up on the MHA manga where the anime left off.

I'm on 349 now with about 45 chapters to go.

I need to buckle up for whatever the war arc has in store. The first two arcs (Star & Stripe, U.A. Traitor) were already emotionally gripping. I have been spoiled on some things, such as the identity of the traitor, but I'm still looking forward to see what goes down.

Read on for potential spoilers, though nothing overly spoiler-y.

Deku and Ochaco's chat before the final war arc was so touching. It was sweet when they both called the other "weird" in a sweet, gentle way.

I love the panel in 348 when Deku has to go back to fight Shigaraki after he initially got separated from him. I'll leave the panel here and let it speak for itself.

(All credit goes to Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi and anyone else involved).

It gives a nod to the conversation I mentioned earlier. When anything sweet comes up between them, it always brings a smile to my face.

I'll drop back to give any more thoughts I have.

Also hope to bring that Inko and Ochaco dinner fanfic to you very soon! Life's been very chaotic lately, but I'm still eager to share it with you.

the continuing adventures of gamzee homestuck and friends, uh… continue! (bnha s5e6-e11)

"be careful, young deku, your next fight is with shinso -" me, completely ignoring the plot relevance with one for all and whatnot: HELLYEAH -- bakugo: "hurry up and master that quirk so we can fight again! I've no patience for weak pokemon" or something. point being, big gold/silver rival vibes. pointbeingfuckbakugo

(iida's turn next) still kinda wished he'd gone with Emergency Exit. I forget if he went with Recipro, or if that's just what he calls his moves and he went with Ingenium for the hero name -- iida: "I was third place at the sports festival!" 'XDDDD that bit with hatsume's still funny whenever I think about it

I have absolutely no idea who Tetsutetsu's teammates are but this is fascinating

"kaibara's rotation is a technique where -- (granted, that's only funny to me) -- why is he also spinning his feet, tho? he'd just drill into the ground doing that. I guess it gives him an option if he wants to change lateral direction in a hurry

so… iida's mufflers are… teeth? the adult ones push the baby mufflers out? idfk go figure

but yeah, mudman's kinda neat

I thought fire was sposed to, y'know, melt metal. Also I'm pretty sure sudden temperature changes fuck it right up regardless.

beats me what Ojiro's done different that repels all the mud, but I guess I'm glad he got something else going for him. heck, even hagukure unlocked that flashbang move of hers; Tailman seems like he'd have a hard time not falling behind.

kinda surprised the show didn't punish Mudman for running away from a losing battle tbh

'XD poor todoroki suddenly sucked up all the flames and turned em into some kinda Spirit Bomb, then got a clonk on the head for his trouble

iida: "rescue is my first priority!" EMERGENCY. EXIT.

"it was a huge mistake leaving iida for later" god. dammit. show. what was he sposed to do, grab his ankles so goddamn sonic the speed demon could rip his arms off? -- ohhh, mudman is the guy who looks like a Bleach hollow. huh.

pony or whatever horn girl's name is: "I'll go higher than he can reach and see what happens" I mean. shoji's arms have kinda looked a bit like wings to me from the start… I dunno what I wanna bet that he can flap them hard enough to get lift, but I dunno if I'd bet much against it either -- not to tell on myself too much, but this is a real "me" strategy. I always find myself in positions where my only move is to put off losing in the hopes that a better idea shows up. one rarely does. (granted, I'm mostly thinking about MtG, and I guess I've gotten a bit better, but "more time for thinking" is still my first priority in most situations) -- (timer buzzed, is a draw) Shishida: "in a real fight, running away and waiting for rescue is a reasonable option." make up your damn mind show, are you American or a filthy commie

pretty sure iida had plenty of space to veer to the side and avoid the falling thingy, just saying

hmm, we got dark souls helmet and some random dark-haired girl they're hyping up vs bakugo and headphone jack. are they gonna play this one out as well, even tho the only lead in it is bakugo?

bakugo continues to do bakugo things, ie be an abusive liability on purpose and probably not get punished for it -- "I've gotten stronger too! I've figured out that I can use people as stepping stones, and it works better than only seeing them as obstacles! next I'll advance to realizing they have feelings, and can therefore be used as tools!"

"with unexpected teamwork (read, any teamwork at all), bakugo's team wins!" -- the annoying thing is, he still consistently acts like (and says, often explicitly) he's the only person who matters. nothing about bakugo's attitude or actions feels reconcilable with a person who could strategize in ways that allow their teammates to do anything, or even account for their presence. hell, seeing bakugo show capacity to strategize at all still feels weird. we saw him hand out those grenades to his teammates - people he constantly refers to as extras, people whose names he refuses to use - as if he thought they were competent enough, or worthy enough, to use them. bakugo gets the benefits of a mindset he is clearly portrayed as not having. -- bakugo is an rpg character whose player is a powergamer. the player is rp'ing as an abuser who can't see potential or worth in other people, and is also completely ignoring bakugo's personality whenever it would lead to suboptimal choices in combat. (does it count as an AU if it's literally the only possible explanation)

all might: "you have a good childhood friend" fuck off. one of the first things we saw bakugo do in this show was tell someone to kill themself and he hasn't improved in five seasons and two movies.

I would think team B would be talking more about who all they'll have Monoma copy. the character is aggravating to watch, but his ability ought to be affecting how people talk about matchups more. can't he copy enemies' quirks just as easily as allies'?

okay monoma's proving to be a bit of a nonbo with shinso's quirk. gonna be hard to get somebody to "answer" you if you never shut up long enough for them to do so.

hm. them black band thingies, I think they're called. -- ah, I was right about the adding in other peoples' quirks to one for all. …I think. pretty sure. six more though??? 'XD damn

you'd kinda think the teachers would have some way of communicating to the students whether a match was canceled when something unexpected happened. seemed to be like nobody was sure if that would be the case, then one person threw a punch and they're just all back in it again. not a very well-controlled situation, for a training exercise.

also… welp. guess I'm going five episodes in. gotta wrap this match up, eh? least I started earlier this time, and somehow got through the first few a bit faster than usual.

yeah yeah mineta, you're a garbage character with a deceptively-cool quirk, now kindly fuck off and let the likable characters back onscreen

eraserhead, apparently: "well, your quirk, like mine, is one that either ends a fight immediately or does nothing at all, so I guess you qualify for Remedial Spider-Man Training. we can't have you going out there without at least this"

k plotline wrapped, I can give it a rest now 'XD now I know shinso should be sticking around, or at least added to class B. these tournament arcs seem to go on forever sometimes but… new powers. strategies. character development at the same time (fine, fake/"informed" character development in bakugo's case). this is my shit.

pov: Deku's blindly falling in love with Uraraka, and you're not blind enough to ignore that he's falling out of you [repost]

Alt title: wingman and courtship part 1

genre: hopeful angst

This love's but a newborn so why does it bite?

it hasn't even lost all its milkteeth,

so why you're already anxious to leave?

-Nicole Zefanya

You watch him carefully, gauging his reaction. He gives you a smile but his confusion is apparent.

"You... want me to stop talking to Uraraka?"

"..is it too much?" You ask, worried.

"That's kinda impossible, don't ya think?" He asked you, his eyes went back to flicking left and right as he reads.

"...yeah"

"What brought this on?"

"You know what, you're right. It's nothing, I was just being silly." You shook your head.

He stops reading his notes immediately and looks at you. You two were at the school library, studying for your general subjects.

"It's not nothing. Tell me?" He says, the way he does makes you feel it was okay to tell him anything. He could even make you confess a crime if you were a villain.

You feel yourself shake, fearing that by your request alone he'd come to hate you. "I think- maybe she likes you?"

"No way." He laughs, the thought he found incredulous. "Uraraka doesn't like me. We're friends but -"

You didn't like that. You didn't want him to be friends with her. Was he really oblivious to his charms? Maybe you're just unreasonable. But you see the way she looks at him. Starry eyed. You knew because your eyes does it too whenever Deku's around.

He gives you a thoughtful look, stands up and makes his way to you; he drags you to a inconspicuous corner hidden by the array of bookshelves, sits on the floor, and opens his arms, an indication for you to sit infront of him. You settle your back snugly against him and his chin rests on your shoulder.

"You don't have to worry about Uraraka. There's no way she likes me."

"But on the off-chance that she does like you?" Your voice was small; hearing it made Deku's arms hold you tighter.

"I'll keep distance. A respectable distance."

You nod. That was it right? You guys were okay, he didn't get defensive and say you were paranoid, he heard you out. This is okay . The feeling hung in the air though, it creeps every night from under your bed and you keep asking yourself: are you guys okay? Was this okay? How long could you keep Deku? Is there something wrong with you? Does he still love you? Will he stop loving you-

will he ... leave you?

•He didn't like the name 'Deku' but someone changed the meaning of it. Deku as in 'you can do it.'

"It was Uraraka, wasn't it?" You asked him, smiling sunnier than usual. If anyone had looked closer, your eyes didn't shine like it should.

He nods, grinning. "I owe my hero name to her."

That pin prickling pain comes like a thousand tiny needles, relentlessly stabbing your chest. You wince at the pain but quickly composed yourself. You're the girlfriend. You. She's a friend. There's nothing to worry. You're okay. Everything's fine.

• You see him, getting flustered whenever she's close. Dork. A beautiful, wonderful and the most adorable dork. You couldn't blame her. If only it was someone else, then you might have been glad that someone other than you can see Izuku's charm. But she wasn't someone else, you know. She's Ochako Uraraka. Uravity. A girl even Bakugou respects the hell out of. The one who could also make Izuku flustered other than you-

When was the last time he was flustered around you? You tried so hard to remember.

You spent the night in his arms, hoping the anxieties would go away. They didn't. Some stayed. Some turned worse. You traced your name on his skin by his ribcage because you couldn't sleep. You wished you could carve your name right there. Yours. Deku's yours. Your baby. Your puppy. But only for as long as he would let you. A better person would have set him free? You weren't. Deku's the better person. You just try to be.

Izu, if you were me... if you feel me slipping away, would you be kind enough to let me go? Because that's just cruel to me.

• They save each other all the time. Like the gods above wanted them to gravitate to each other. Gravitate. Maybe there was something in Uraraka's quirk that affects Deku to gravitate away from you? You were making mountains out of molehills. But those lingering eyes they had for each other were impossible not to notice. Uraraka was aware of it. Deku however, was dense as ever. They were magnets that couldn't help but snap together. The problem was you.

You had drunk too many bottles of alcohol. The whole class A celebrated passing the pro license exam together with dinner and drinks; mid-way the boys and girls segregated. You love Uraraka. That's why everything seems so much worse. Kami... you wished she acted like a bitch then maybe, it'd be easier. But nooo, of course not. Isn't that why Deku likes her?

Someone calls your name, you open your eyes a bit and sees Izuku's blurred image.

"Izu!" You hugged him happily, drawing teasing remarks from everyone.

You can hear Izuku's heart beating steady and calm. You stopped giving him butterflies. You kiss him soundly on the lips in front of everyone. There were gasps, hooting, whistles, claps and-

"Excuse me." Uraraka said as she gets up, leaving the room.

Before anyone could say anything, Izuku asks Iida to watch over you, saying he was going to the restroom.

"This is uncharacteristically irresponsible of Midoriya." Iida states blankly, rubbing soothing circles on your back as you laid your head on the table. You hear the whispers.

"...everyone knows, don't they?" you mumbled, dizzy.

"I'm afraid so."

"I was too blind to see it at first... but the two of them.." You feel tears prickled in your eyes. "It has always been them... there was no room for me."

"..."

"I never stood a chance... I'm a hostel, she's a house." You bit your lip, you were full on crying now. "I'm just temporary until he finds out he likes her. What should I do, Tenya?"

He stays silent for awhile, some moments after you feel him brushing your hair, borrowing one from one of the girls. "I do not presume to know everything on matters of the heart, all I know is the inevitable."

You snorted, mid-way of your ugly crying. "Inevitably getting my heart broken?"

"That things change, dear classmate." He asks you for your hairtie and you wave your wrist at him. He slides it off from your wrist carefully, as if the mere touch of your skin could burn him. "You thought you could like him forever but not when he likes someone else."

"...do you think he ever liked me? Because if likes Ochaco then that must've mean his confession was false."

"Midoriya liked you until he didn't-"

"He's a liar then."

"What about you?" He clumsily ties your hair in a messy bun. "Can you confidently continue this way, watching them fall for each other but can't be together because of you? So it becomes one miserable affair between you three."

"You're terrible, Tenya." You wiped your snot on your sleeves. "You're just helping your friend convince me to break up with him so he doesn't do the dirty work."

You feel him patting your head. "I won't lie that my advice were not without hidden intentions but for now, just know I'm also your friend. Not just Midoriya's."

"Thank you."

"... you're welcome." Your dark haired friend replies softly and you drifted to sleep.

• Ochako carries an All-Might keychain that Deku gave to her.

You broke up with Deku. It took four times. Four times you brought up about calling it quits. The first three times he doesn't agree. You never even fought. Disagreements, sure. Full blown spat? Never. He doesn't understand why'd you want to. You bring up the fact that you barely talk to each other. That you don't spend time with each other anymore. That it was lonelier being in a relationship that held you hostage. The fourth time, he understood. You suspect he realized he likes someone else.

He tells you he loves you but he agrees that focusing on your respective's career is more important. He tells you that the door's open and you can open up to him, reach out to him anytime.

You won't. You blocked him every social apps and erased every trace of him. One day you would joke about this but you'd never open up to him again, you'd rather not give his future girlfriend anxieties. You didn't want anyone to go through those like you did. So you find your pace, and found a small agency that you didn't have to bump into anyone. Just like how Deku's feelings for you faded, you faded from everyone's reach in class A.

"Finally clocking out?"

"You bet!" You grinned, whistling out a happy tune. You wave goodbye to the receptionist at the desk and started walking home.

You stop by a food stall selling taiyaki, fish shaped cakes and its filling with red bean paste. You nommed on one when your heels snapped. You hold taiyaki in your mouth, one hand holding a bag and one taking off your shoes. Someone called out your name and you turned around.

"Long time no see, dear classmate." He says, a subtle smile on his mouth, gentlemanly helping you with your predicament.

You shied your face away from him, wondering how to hold the taiyaki when you've just held your shoes. Your brows furrowed and he offered a handkerchief.

"Nice to see you again, Tenya." You say, after taking his handkerchief and held the taiyaki with it.

Inevitably things change.

Somehow there's a little engine revving up in your chest, as you and Iida fall back to your easy friendship.

@ofcrossroads said: Chipper smile along her lips, Momo approaches Izuku with her usual kind eyes. “Happy Birthday, Midoriya-san!” She’s delighted as she hands him a shiny red bag with deliberate while curled ribbons. Inside, he’ll find a pair of socks with All Might on them, Jirou’s favorite tea and Mina’s favorite tea (she isn’t sure which would be more helpful), and a classic notebook. Izuku's Birthday! || Not Accepting

Izuku can't say that he's expecting the day to come and go without a single acknowledgement, he was certain that his mom would call him bright and early just to wish him a wonderful birthday and he spent nearly twenty minutes reassuring her that they would celebrate when he finally visited home. She had plenty of ideas to make it special and he had enough chitchat to feel her support through the phone, which was more than enough. But to have classmates remind him that they remembered was just shocking. There were firsts for everything, he supposed but that didn't stop him from being completely caught off guard every time.

After a stumble of his words the first time to thank someone, he still hadn't anticipated a second. A habit of feeling isolated often made small gestures like this feel much bigger in his mind, pleased to be reminded that he was seen this time around. So it should come as no surprise when Yaomomo approaches him for the very same reason and as she greets him he flashes a bashful smile, nodding. "Thank you, Yaomomo!" The present however, is definitely a surprise. "Y-You didn't have to get me anything!" He insists, hesitantly taking the bag and peeking inside. The contents do their job to widen his smile and decorate green irises with sparkles only few things were capable of. "This is for me?!" Although he takes another peek and he ponders why there's … two different types of tea? Huh. Well, he'll be happy to sample both.

"Well, maybe we could try another recipe together ...? Or buy some spicy chocolates? I could make a run for you if you're pressed for time!" He understood, somewhat. Kacchan wasn't that easy to please and making spicy chocolates was probably a lot more complicated than regular chocolate when you didn't cook or bake to begin with.

“ Yes. ” She answered meekly. The Yaoyorozu family had their own kitchen staff. There was never a need to learn, until now. For every exam, Momo could study. But when it came time for baking or cooking, she always failed. “ Katsuki doesn't like sweets, so I tried to substitute the sugar for spices. ”

Katsuki stares up at Izuku. What the fuck was he doing up on the roof of the school? Some extra in a different class yells for Izuku to get down. Katsuki grins and sparks off his hands. He has hours until he has to be home yet, so he joins the crowd watching his childhood friend slowly walk to the edge of the tall building.

" We can be Heroes together Kacchan! Hee-ya! '' little Izuku punches the air with him.

"Do a flip!" He barks and several of the students laugh. Extra #1 gets in his face, blocking his view and asks him what he's going to do if he actually jumps. Katsuki laughs. Izuku won't jump, he'd never actually push someone to suicide. Izuku doesn't know how to give up anyways. He's useless and dumb. Idiot has such a baby face and is always getting in the way, typical quirkless nobody Izuku. Izuku doesn't walk away from the ledge though. He doesn't sit down to stare down at people while scribbling illegibly in his notebook like Katsuki expected either. He walks right up to the edge, blank faced and Katsuki's stomach drops, he's suddenly queasy and no ones laughing anymore.

"GET OFF THE FUCKING ROOF, YOU FUCKING DEKU!" he screams with no air in his lungs to breath as Izuku tilts forward, then wobbles a step back. Izuku isn't a coward. He's useless and can't do what everyone in this day and age desperately wants

"Okay but I'm going to be more famous than you!! And make more money because I'm going to catch all the bad guys!" A tiny Katsuki whose quirk hasn't even come in yet brags.

"Okay! I'll focus on the Hero stuff then!" Izuku tells him earnestly. Katsuki scoffs in irritation that Izuku isn't paying attention to what he's saying.

Izuku can't be a Hero with his friend, he's getting left behind. Izuku's step back causes the crowd to loosen just a little. There's hope. He's not really going to jump. Izuku's muscles are locked though. His face is blank and something is still not right. Katsuki shoves his long fingered friend standing beside him.

"The fuck was -" he starts bitching and Katsuki cuts him off without taking his eyes from Izuku.

"Get up there. Now," he whispers with a throat constricted with emotion. For fucks sake nothing is even going to happen, he chastises himself. Fingers takes off at a dead sprint towards the ladder on the side of the building. Izuku jolts forward jerkily, Katsuki can't breath and everyone starts looking away. A few drag their friends off, away from what's happening. Izuku throws himself off the roof as Fingers scrambles up the ladder still. It happens too fast.

His throat burns and there is a high thin noise, someone screaming without the air to power it, and Izuku is on the ground. Blood splattered and a large pool growing under him. Katsuki's stomach flips and he pukes all over his clothes and shoes. He didn't have the sense to avoid it as he was left staring. He stares as someone calls an ambulance. As several Heroes mutter what a shame it was. Why didn't they save him? When did they get here? Katsuki is trembling and a medic is asking him questions he can't answer. They pull him into the ambulance with Izuku. He has an oxygen mask on him. A medic turns his face away from Izuku and towards him as Katsuki realizes he's breathing too fast. He can't seem to slow it down either. He just keeps pointing at Izuku. His hands make a sign, one he hasn't made in years. 'Izuku', kind with the letter 'I' formed. Their faces fall and the emt shakes his head. No one knows JSL. Katsuki tries to turn towards Izuku again and they strap him down to a stretcher. He doesn't remember anything else but the struggle to breathe and the sick sound Izuku's body made as bones broke on pavement and florescent lights on the ceiling of the hospital.

Katsuki's parents are called eventually. He's picked up from the hospital and taken home and when his mother tries to talk to him he takes out his hearing aids, looking out the window. Mitsuki keeps using the newer sign for Izuku, he doesn't know how to tell them he caused Izuku to jump. That Deku isn't a fun tease anymore, he turned it into an insult almost on accident. He told him to jump. Then he did and Katsuki saw it happen. He takes a week off school, everyone does. Then they come back and it's like nothing happened. His grades tank and the counselor drags him in, advising him that it wasn't his fault. Izuku should have asked for help. Katsuki doesn't know if he even remembers walking past Katsuki tearing a notebook out of Izuku's hands last week.

"You've got a Hero career and a future to look forward to, Bakugo. I know you and Midoriya were close but remember that he would want you to succeed." He's given a clap on the shoulder with the parting words and sent back to class. That's the thing too, Izuku would want him to succeed. Would want him to become a Hero despite Katsuki's attitude towards him, Izuku never stopped supporting him. He goes back to training and his grades shoot back up easily enough. He feels like no one's noticed anything happened. The world's going on for everyone but him and he's still standing frozen as Izuku jumps. He could have climbed that ladder faster than Fingers. Could have pulled him back and held on tight until everything was okay again.

He trains because he doesn't know what else to do. His head is not focused on it anymore though, stuck in the past. Him and Izuku as toddlers, doing everything together because Izuku lived right down the street and he wasn't mean. That's all that they had needed back then and Katsuki doesn't know why it wasn't enough for him anymore one day. He's jogging around the block one day, training again and he's paused to catch his breath and spark off extra sweat. A skinny tall teen approaches him and he tenses up.

"Nice quirk. Training to be a Hero I assume?" The teens face is hidden but he's got purple scars under blue eyes that glare at Katsuki.

"I will kick your fucking ass. And yes." He snarls at him. He doesn't know what this guy wants but Katsuki's not interested in talking.

"That what Heroes do? Kick strangers ass?" The teen tilts his head as stares at him. Katsuki wants to give him a different answer, it sounds wrong now to say that.

"Gotta kick villain ass to climb the rankings, you only get half points for popularity and looks." He points out and finishes draining his water bottle. The teen slides down the wall he had been leaning against and looks up at the sky.

"What about helping people? Who helps people if Heroes are just violent people giving out asskickings?" Katsuki shakes his head and jogs off to home. Who helps people? He looks up how many Heroes had been in the area when Izuku jumped. Six. Six Heroes and half an hour Katsuki had watched him on that roof. Was it just because there was no one to arrest? If Izuku had been threatening anyone besides himself, would he have been caught before he hit the ground? The question plagues Katsuki, he trains and does his homework and goes to school all on auto pilot. Would he have saved Izuku if he'd been a Pro in the area? What about not doing the things that lead to him telling him to jump? Calling Izuku worthless and a nobody, blowing up a notebook he knew Izuku used to study other Heroes. To combat his quirkless status. The memory of Izuku telling him he could be more famous and get the most arrests replays in his head. He'd thought Izuku wasn't listening and had been dismissing him, but... But what if he'd been saying something Katsuki was just now figuring out? He goes for a run again, his mom calls for him as he tugs on his shoes and instead of flipping her off like normal he promises to be back within the hour. Mitsuki blinks in shock but by the time she's recovered Katsuki has taken off on a jog. He heads for the same area he saw the teen before, struggling to recall details and put them into perspective. Yeah the teen had scars and kept his face covered. What did that mean though? That was good information to give the police.

Katsuki thought of his clothes, things that he normally dismissed because they could be changed by the time he talked to authorities. The teen had more worn out clothes though. Holes along the edges, he'd looked tired. Homeless, the teen was homeless. Katsuki was sprinting now to the building he'd seen the teen around. If he was homeless then he'd probably be around the same building. Bright blue caught his eye and he turned to see the teen with his hand lit on fire. The teen is crouched beside a dumpster and Katsuki skids to stop by him startling him before he straightens up. Stopping the gentle noises the teen had been making in an attempt to coax something out.

"Oh, hey. It's the violent brat." He sneered before doing a double take at Katsuki's appearance.

"You alright, brat?"

"Shut the f-'' Katsuki squeezes his eyes shut. Why is he even talking like that to someone who's concerned?

"The other day. You were talking about Heroes. Pro's. You think they do something other than climb rankings and make arrests. What? What do you think they do?" Katsuki pants out with his hands on his knees. The sun is setting and he still has to make it home. And contact an agency to get this guy a place to stay. He's got something against Heroes but is rooting around under a dumpster for what Katsuki can only assume is a cat.The teen looks up at him like he's missing the obvious before shaking his head.

"Kindness. Heroes should be kind, not violent, lying dickbags out for themselves. They're technically public servants. So why aren't they serving the public?" he spits out. Staring at Katsuki warily as he absentmindedly sparks off his hands, he flinches at the noises and leans away from him.

"You fucking asked me. Don't get pissed at the awnser." His own quirk flares in warning.

"Its sweat. I'm not threatening you dumbass." He grits his teeth as the teen straightens to loom over him.

"Leave." He points a flaming hand dramatically out of the alley way and Katsuki rolls his eyes. Still he heads for home at a dead sprint, he told his mom he would be back in an hour. He makes it back in time, right as the street lights flicker on and collapses on his lawn. Breathing hard and letting the cool grass help cool him.

He looks up the area he was in and its active Hero agency's before clicking on one and sending a tip that they've got an abuse victim with a grudge against Heroes near them. He includes the fact that it's a teen, almost writes that he's unstable and violent before thinking better of it. Katsuki's quirk was loud, flashy and people did often assume he was angry when he used it. He puts down reactive and scared instead. After it's sent a message through the app pops up, a hero with a cat icon instead of his face wants to know physical details and when he last saw him. Eraserhead. Izuku used to talk about him when they were kids. He wasn't a ranked hero, little to no information on him. But from what Katsuki remembered he was a badass who helped people. He sends a detailed description and walks inside. He's done what he can. Mitsuki scolds him for leaving so late and without asking first. His head is full of the idea that a Hero should practice kindness first. He thinks about it, and thinks about it and thinks about it. Is that the kind of Hero he wants to be? Why does it matter how a Hero acts? Izuku would have been a kind hero, because he's a kind person. Katsuki applies to U.A. as planned and during the practical exam while everyone is taking out robots, he saves someone. He's given a thank you after he passes and while the response that comes to him first is to tell them to stay out of the way, he instead nods, then points out that he was just walking by. Be kind, he tells himself. His class is a handful. Full of different people and quirks. He's no social butterfly but he reminds himself again and again to be kind.

Be nice to Kirishima- shitty red hair who struggles with homework because he's second guessing himself. Hardening quirk.

Be nice to Denki- who's brilliant when he's asked questions instead of reading them and who jumps from one subject to another. He can't really slow down so Katsuki helps his squad keep up with Denkis mile a minute pace. Charges everyone's phones, electric quirk.

Be kind to Ashido- who's loud and eager to make friends. She's a bit much for him at times but she's getting better at resigning herself in. Acid quirk, bright colors.

Eventually Izuku wakes up from the coma that jumping put him in. The first thing he does is contact a Hero. He didn't jump. He'd been bumped into by a man with a quirk that took over his body. Like strings were all across his limbs forcing him to jump. He'd fought it as best as he could , almost won. But in the end, the quirk had thrown him off the building's roof. Izuku calls Katsuki right after his mom. Katsuki arrives panting from sprinting to him, several nurses following him. He grits his teeth and apologizes, thanking them but he's alright and his friend just woke up from a coma.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to, why didn't you tell-'' Izuku thankfully cuts Katsuki off.

"I didn't do it. Control based Quirk. You wouldn't ever say it if there was ever a chance I'd do it." Izuku shrugs a little in his hospital bed and Katsuki has to use the wall to keep himself standing. He's changed so much. How can he explain that even if he knew Izuku wouldn't, he shouldn't have told him to jump. How does he explain to him that even if he hadn't ever said those words, that he hasn't treated him right.

Be kind- Izuku. Best friends since childhood. Quirkless and unstoppable because he knows what he wants to do and what it means to be a Hero. He just has to be reminded. Katsuki's got a lot of practice being patient and kind now in the past almost two months Izuku's been asleep.

"I think I get it now. What you meant when we were kids. What a Hero is."

PITA

Pt. 3

(BakugoxReader)

*Minors DNI*

Warnings: cussing, angst, fluff, mentions of daddy kink and sex

< Prev. | Pt. 3 | Next >

_______________

The day continued as normal as ever...if you consider avoiding eye contact with everyone at all costs normal. It didn't help that it seemed like Deku and Bakugo put their rocky relationship aside just to taunt you. Any time you dared to peak up at Bakugo, his eyes were already boring into your soul. He would wink and smirk, you would blush and look away as fast as possible, and Deku would snicker.

"Hey, N/N," Deku started, "have you uhh, have you talked to your daaaaddy lately?"

The full-bodied laughter that rang from Bakugo did nothing short of melt your heart. You couldn't help but stare as he doubled over, a genuine smile on his face, looking the happiest you've seen since you met him. You were still embarrassed, though, so with the most sarcastic smile you could give, you flipped them both off and walked backward through the door to the front. You came to a stop as your back hit something very hard. Looking up, you see Shoto smiling down at you.

"Hi, F/N. Sorry about that, Layla said I could come back here to find you," Shoto said, greeting Deku and giving a curt nod to Bakugo.

"Oh, no worries, Shoto! Sorry I bumped into you. These two are being brats today so I was about to take a break from them," you replied, shooting a soft glare to the two instigators.

Shoto gave a small chuckle and shook his head before saying, "I was just in the area and thought I'd come by to see where you wanted to have lunch tomorrow." Seeing the surprised look on your face, he quickly said, "Or if you don't have anywhere particular in mind, I know of a place. I can send you the location and we can meet at 11:30?"

"That sounds perfect, Shoto. Thank you," you smiled sweetly. Shoto said goodbye to the two men, noticing the glare Bakugo had on him, and said, "I'll text you in a while then, Y/N. Have a nice day."

You smiled and waved as he left the building. You turned around to find yourself standing directly in front of Bakugo, him staring down at you with an intensity you couldn't quite place. He looked past then back down to you.

"You goin on a date with the IcyHot bastard?" He asked, looking anywhere but your eyes, his hands stuffed deep in his pockets.

"Oh, uh, no? At least I don't think so. Neither of us said anything about a date. He just said he wanted to get to know me more," you said with a shrug.

"Um, Y/N, that sounds like a date...," Deku said.

You looked at the men in front of you, the blonde flexing his jaw, deep in thought about something. The green-haired man looked back and forth between you and Bakugo with a worried expression and a hand rubbing the back of his neck. Confused, you decided to elaborate further, "I really don't think it is, guys. And besides that, I'm not looking to actually date anyone right now. Mido, I know you know the situation. Not only that but I'm pretty positive Shoto only dates models and uhh, look at me. That's definitely not me," you chuckle. "Also, it's going to take one hell of a man to actually make me want to be in a serious relationship. If he does say something about it being a date tomorrow, I'll just explain I'm not looking to date at the moment," you said with a slight shrug.

You looked back to Bakugo, who visibly relaxed and let out a small chuckle. Thinking it was a little odd, you tilted your head and slightly furrowed your brows.

"What are you lookin at, PITA? You got something to ask me? Something about me being 'hot as hell', right, Deku?" Bakugo asked with a Cheshire grin across his face. Deku immediately fell into a fit of laughter. "Oh or did you wanna ask Kirishima how big his di-"

"OKAY THEN I'M GOING HOME BYE," you yelled before Bakugo could finish, sprinting through the door, hoping to get home before anything else could embarrass you that afternoon.

*Bakugo POV*

I've never seen someone turn so red so much. She's cute as fuck, though. As much as I hate the thought of Half n' Half having any of her time, at least it's not a fuckin date. She said she's not ready to dive into something, so that gives me time. Maybe Shitty Hair was right. I can work with this.

"What do you want, Deku?"

"Nothing, Kacchan. You just seem relieved to hear she doesn't think it's a date," he shrugged.

"Fuck off you damn nerd. You don't know shit."

"Alright," Deku started, holding up his hands, "all I'll say is she's been through it. Her last relationship was a shit show and I know you can relate to that. It's not my story to tell, but I figure it might give you some insight. I will tell you though, N/N is one of my best friends; more like a sister if I'm completely honest. Don't fuck around with her emotions, Bakugo."

"Tch. Don't you have a girlfriend to go bother?"

He never calls me that; he's obviously serious. Damn Deku is too observant for his own good. I wonder if she'll tell me about her ex. Maybe if I tell her mine first...yeah, that's gonna have to fuckin wait.

While he walked home, you took up every thought in Bakugo's head. If he could have a future with you...if he even deserved it. His mind started drifting to what you said when you weren't aware of your two additional audience members.

Ohhh fuck. Better get home.

_____________________________________________________________________________

As you made your way home, you couldn't stop thinking about what Deku and Bakugo had said. Worrying about situations that will probably never happen is a specialty of yours, but this scenario was entirely too possible to ignore. Was tomorrow suppose to be a date? Neither you nor Shoto had said anything of the sort but miscommunication happens all the time.

Okay, what the hell am I supposed to do? I could always text him and clarify so we both go into it in the right headspace. But then again, the tone could be misconstrued through text, and I don't want that. If I wait until or if he says something about a date, it could potentially be awkward, but it gives me a better opportunity to explain correctly.

Deciding on the latter, you felt more at ease. You made a plan to take a long, hot bubble bath and order take-out as soon as you got home, then plan your outfit for your not-date lunch.

You picked a black strapless sundress with a jean jacket and your black platform boots. You texted a picture to Mina and then sent a voice message. "Hey, Mina. Is this outfit cute but like in a 'this is just a simple outfit and definitely not a date outfit' kind of way?" You forgot it was Saturday and that Mina would definitely be at the club, but you were reminded when her reply came through. Nothing but heart eye and fire emojis. Sighing, you resigned to bed.

You scrolled through your media until you got a text and picture from Layla.

Bae-la

10:30 PM

> Hey bbyyy. Since you practically sprinted out earlier, you missed

this super cute moment.

> Attch: 1

Opening the picture, you see a smiling Bakugo sitting on the shelter floor with Abyss lying across his lap. Deku in the background playing with Daybreak. "AWWWW OH MY GOD HOW ADORABLE," you screamed.

You saved the picture and opened Bakugo's chat.

Pissy Pomeranian

10:34 PM

Whatcha doin? <

> Sleeping. What do you want?

What the hell? It's Saturday. Why are you asleep so early? <

> Nothing better to do. Is there a point to this or???

OH RIGHT yeah. So do you wanna see the cutest thing

ever? <

> No. I wanna go the fuck to sleep.

Come on, Bakugo. I love it so much. You have to see it <

> Fucking fine. Hurry up, PITA

Attch: 1 <

> WHO THE FUCK TOOK THAT?!? DELETE IT.

Sorry no can do. It's actually my background now sooooo <

Anyway, goodnight Bakugooo <

> GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE

> L/N

> PITA

11:00 PM

> I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DONT ANSWER IM CALLING YOU

You chuckled while you listened to your phone buzz, but you didn't bother checking the messages. You knew who it was. You might have been more prepared for Bakugo's phone call had you paid attention, though. Figuring answering his call would be more beneficial than ignoring him, you hit accept.

"DUMBASS DELETE THE DAMN PICTURE!"

"Nah, don't think I will."

"I will kill you if you don't."

"Oh yeah? Now? From all the way over there? I'm shaking, Bakugo," you sassed.

"You forget I know where you live, PITA?"

You stayed silent for a few moments while you weighed your options.

"What about an IOU?"

"The fuck you talking about?"

"I REALLY wanna keep this picture. So, instead of deleting it, I'll owe you a favor. You can use it for anything at any time."

"You sure you're not gonna regret that, PITA?" Bakugo asked, his voice laced with a slightly unnerving edge.

"Psh. I don't do things I think I'll regret. Besides, I trust you. Soooo...do we have a deal?"

"Sure. Bye."

You set down your phone and started to drift to sleep, wondering what in the fuck kind of opportunity you just offered him.

*Bakugo POV*

She said she trusts me. Don't think too far into it. It's probably because it's literally your job for people to trust you.

He laid in bed wishing you trusted him for more than that. He wanted to give you a reason, no, thousands of reasons to trust him.

I don't understand how I feel this drawn to her so quickly. The few semi-serious relationships I've had were never like this, even the relationship with Ami. It took at least a month for me to get comfortable enough to get attached. Even though it was a shit relationship. Fuck it. She's got that date that she doesn't think is a date tomorrow. If she was serious about not wanting it to be a date, I'll make my move on Monday.

"Alright, universe. You fuckin' win. I actually caught shitty feelings again. So give me a goddamn chance this time."

Hello! You needed to write? I AM HERE! (ok I'll stop now 😤) but hey, can you do a price of writing where todoroki has a rivalry with someone stronger than and they won the sports festival instead of bakugou? But his hate for them slowly turns into a friendship? Hey you don't have to do this but I'm too shy to ask anyone else ☺🙂😊👉👈

First off, you give off ✨ immaculate✨ vibes, like really, next level! Secondly, ofc I will do this! It’s an amazing idea!!! And I am honored that you would ask me, you can come and request anytime! Hope this lives up to your hopes! Have a good day/night! 💞

|| ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕞𝕒𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕕 ℂ𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕖𝕤 ||

Character: Todoroki x Reader

Status: Not Proofread

Reader: Has an earth manipulation quirk // enjoys Christmas // doesn’t like family // nothing else specified

Type: Oneshot // Fluff (Angst if you squint)

Warnings: None

A/n: This took too long to write but here it is! Yes, Ik ik, it July, BUT! I wanted to write smth Christmas themed okay! :( I can’t wait for Christmas honestly.

“Y/n L/n has knocked Shoto Todoroki out of bounds and will advance to the next round!” The announcers voice sounded throughout the stadium.

You would have felt bad for knocking Shoto off his feet so fast. You didn’t know him well but he seemed really nice, he seemed like he would have made a good friend. Until he made a practical declaration of war against you and Midoriya. Saying that, “he wasn’t here to make friends” and that “he was going to beat us”.

Almost sounded like Bakugou for a second, but you let it slide because he was a lot more calm and civil. Unlike Bakugou’s over egotistical attitude, Shoto’s was just determination.

Though his determination didn’t help him much when not even a second after the announcer said the match could start, you picked up a huge piece of earth and slammed it into Shoto, making him propel backwards out of the ring.

You where surprised it actually worked. Thinking he would have been a lot faster. Even though you preformed this action in less than five seconds.

The mat genes and Todoroki was sent to recovery girl . You went and set in the stands with Uraka and Deku

“Hey there Y/n! That match was amazing! You did such a great job!” Uraraka congratulated you.

“Thank Uraraka! Your match against Bakugou was pretty cool too. Your plan was genius!” You exclaimed, sitting next to her.

“Too bad it didn’t work. Thanks anyways though.” She said sighing.

“Hey Todoroki! Awesome job out there!” Midoriya called to Todoroki who was walking past our row, bandages all over him.

“Thank you Midoriya, but I failed. Next time, I will try harder and win.” He promised, turning back around to continue walking

Why did he have to sound so threatening? You felt like you needed to sleep with one eye open from then on. He definitely hated you after that match. Though, why exactly? I mean, yeah, you beat him, but that’s life, you win and you lose.

So from then on, Todoroki and you where classified as enemies. Well, that was a dramatic term for it, but in reality you two wouldn’t and couldn’t hold a steady conversation. Over time, you did start to develop a small hatred for the boy.

He was always so cold and emotionless, constantly saying he “wasn’t here to make friends”. Why couldn’t he loosen up a bit? It might help with his horrible sense of humor and even more terrible social skills.

Every time you’d walk up to a group of people and Todoroki was in it, he’d walk away, and vice versa. Group projects? You and him where never in the same group. You guys didn’t even have each other’s numbers.

When your whole class moved into the dorms, you guys decided to do a tour of everyone’s rooms. Though, when it came to your room, Shoto wouldn’t even bother to glance inside, and you where the same with his. You two wanted nothing to do with each other.

As stated before, you didn’t care for him because of how cold and careless he seemed to e, though he had a different reason for being so rude to you at times.

Shoto was aiming to be a hero, the number one hero to be exact. He couldn’t have any distractions in his life. Whilst he had a couple of friends here and there, he had the ability to ignore them for studying or training. Of course he always made it up to them later, but he had the ability to not feel guilty for the time when he needed to focus.

He knew that if he became friends with you, that would be the furthest thing from the case. If he became friends with you, he would want to spend every free second with you. You seemed like such a fun and cool person to him. Always laughing and helping others. You where truly amazing in his eyes. Too amazing, almost like a celebrity he would have to admire from afar forever.

Until one day, you twocwhere forced to spend some time alone, and you both ended up dropping a few of your walls.

Christmas break, what a lovely time for most. You loved the holidays, giving your friends presents and decorating everything in sight! Holiday songs where also a must for you. Though, you hated going home for the holidays.

Your parents where….well….a whole ordeal. It just always overwhelmed you and out you in a horrible mental state. So, you where in wonder when you heard that you could stay at the dorms for Christmas break. Problem being…..there was someone else there.

Shtoto Todoroki, the guy that hated you for no apparent reason. You had to spend the holidays with him. Which, you kind of caught yourself wishing you two where friends so you could have a Christmas that wasn’t spent avoiding him, but you never got around to saying anything.

There where many times, like when you two would cross paths in the kitchen or the hallways, there was even one time you two came down to watch tv at the same time, but still nothing past “excuse me” or “no it’s okay, you go”. So, boredom of course over took you and you where on the edge of going down stairs and asking him to bake Christmas cookies with you or something.

Then, as if on perfect time, you where lying in bed two days before the big December 25th and scrolling through social media. You felt your phone vibrate in your hand for see a notification pop up for a text message.

You begrudgingly got up off your bed and walked over to your door. What where even going to say? “Hey, I know we don’t know each other but do you want to bake Christmas cookies with me?” Or “Hey, why do you hate me so much? You know maybe if we made cookies you would hate me less.”

You should have face palmed yourself after both of those. They both sounded idiotic but you didn’t exactly have a choice. So, you opened your door and headed downstairs.

When you arrived you saw Shoto sitting on the couch in the common room, flipping through movies on Netflix. They looked to all be Christmas movies, but it seemed he just couldn’t find a good one. So, you took the chance, since Christmas movies where your thing, and spoke.

“Looking for a good movie?” You asked out of the blue, walking around to sit on the other end of the couch.

“Yes.” He said “there doesn’t seem to be any that I haven’t seen.” He added right before you where about to get up.

“The princess switch?” You proposed

“Seen it.” He denied

“A Christmas Prince?” You offered

“Seen it.” He responded

“Part 2?” You asked, surely he hadn’t seen all the parts

“And three.” He said

“Okay…..what about….Christmas in Heartland?” You asked.

“Hmm….doesn’t ring a bell.” He said

You silently said a “go me!” For one, talking to him and having a civil conversation, and two, beating what’s seemed like “the master of Christmas movies” at his own game.

“Do you want to watch it? It’s one of my favorites!” You asked, putting yourself way out there.

He seemed to hesitate for a second, and you thought he was going to say no, but he didn’t.

“Sure.” He said

“Well, I actually came down here to make cookies…..so….if you wouldn’t mind waiting for me…” you trailed off.

“Can I help? With the cookies?” He asked, his head poking up just a bit taller and shoulders straightening up. It was almost as if he was excited.

Which, would be a correct assumption. Shoto was actually very excited, he finally had a Christmas movie that he hadn’t seen, and he had someone, a friend, to watch it with. Ever since him and Midoriya had became friends, and he realized that he could have friends without getting insanely distracted, he decided he wanted to be friends with you, even if you seemed super cool and whatnot, he knew how to keep focus. He was no longer worried about your potential friendship destroying his future career.

Problem was, Todoroki had little to no social skills, and you seemed to hate him, so starting a conversation was something he wasn’t able to do easily. So, when this opportunity fell into his life, he was happy to take it.

You two went into the kitchen and started to work. You showed Todoroki how to do various things when it came to baking, since he had only seen it done in the movies he didn’t really know how. He enjoyed cutting shapes out of the dough eith the cookie cutters very much.

You where having the time of your life teaching Todoroki how to bake. It was so fun, and it hilarious. When he got dough on his nose and you told him, he had the most adorable embarrassed look.

The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air after you two got them out of the oven and set them on a plate. Bringing them over to the lounge and setting down to watch this movie. You two put the plate in the middle cushion and sat on either side of it. Starting the Christmas movie and stuffing your faces with cookies.

Little did both of you know that this night would give you two a bond that would last forever. Your friendship was known by everyone as a Christmas miracle.

You are so loved! <3

Have a wonderful day/night!
