OKAY BUT I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE SHIP INKO X MIDNIGHT AND I'M NOT THE SAME

- Goblin anon

i was reading a wlw fanfic (hans/fem reader) prior so when i saw this ask, i was like :’3333

I LOVE THIS SHIP SM RIPWJEDFIPJS like yeah inkomight sounds so damn good, but something about inko attracting the midnight is so beautiful to me. imagine nemuri having gay panic to her gay best friends, aizawa and yamada, and just waxing so much poetry about their student's mom?? like as much as they love nemuri, they really do not want to know what she'd do to their problem child's mom in private. but alas, nemuri is besotted and as much as aizawa complains, they are her best friends so they are stuck listening to her gush about inko.

sometimes it was hard to look at their problem child's eyes because of how much love talk they heard nemuri say about said child's mom.

ok but so much possibilities about how they met!!

✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼

01:

there's the PTA meeting setting where nemuri reached out to inko herself after the whole "i choose deku as my hero name" thing to ask if there is something UA can offer for both inko and izuku. either mental and/or emotional support because nemuri confessed that there is something very concerning about a star student deliberately wanting to be called useless. inko reaches out back because UA is the first school that ever cared for her son.

nemuri's simple email had already won inko. from there, they started talking about something more personal like nemuri's hero life, inko's work, sharing stories about their friends and just. deepening their relationship.

inko does not know when their acquaintanceship became a legit friendship, but what she does know is that there is more to living; that her life is no longer just for izuku now, but also for her own. of course izuku is always first, no matter what. but now, she wakes up feeling more whole. she wakes up already feeling giddy as she logs into her email where everyday there is always an email from nemuri waiting for inko's response. and see the thing is that inko knows how tiring nemuri's life is as she's both a hero and a teacher, and yet nemuri never forgets to respond to her. nemuri showed inko that when people want to, they will always find a way to talk to you. nemuri made her feel special. nemuri made her feel loved.

and she is.

nemuri likes her in a way she never liked anyone before. at first she thought it was just a friend-crush, in a sense that nemuri doesn't have much friends outside of her hero friends so inko is very much like a fresh breath of air. inko makes her feel normal, something that nemuri never sought out for before until now.

inko doesn't see her as just midnight, the r-rated hero, or midnight, izuku's teacher. inko sees her as nemuri, inko's friend; nemuri, just a woman.

nemuri, herself, does not know when she started regarding inko as more than her penpal and friend. all she knows is that when one day, izuku visited her in the teacher's lounge, proudly telling her that inko baked cookies for nemuri, nemuri felt like the sun just gobbled her up with how warm she felt.

nemuri was used to receiving gifts from both suitors and fans, but the homemade cookies that inko baked for her, for some reason, weighed more.

"yey cookies for me too!" hizashi sings, twirling around his chair, when izuku left for hero studies.

"nuh-uh," nemuri says, cradling the pack close to her chest, tipping her chin at him haughtily.

"what?! whyyyyyy," hizashi whines, "you always share your fans' food with me because you said you were worried about your weight! which, i keep telling you anyways, that you do not need to worry about that because you are beautiful!"

and hizashi's right, that loud motherfucker that nemuri loves so much.

she always shared her food with her friends, but not this one. she will eat a thousand bags of chocolate if they all came from inko. and-

oh my god.

she turns to hizashi and watches as the realization hits him the same time it hit her.

"oh," hizashi whispers.

"oh," she repeats.

AND THEY MEET IN PTA BECAUSE WHY NOT?

shouta's eyeballing her, beautiful eyes squinting as he packs his stuff slowly. nemuri's sure that hizashi told him about inko so she really does not know why he's eyeballing her like that.

"what?" she finally caves and asks.

"don't make this weird, nem," shouta says, serious. nemuri straightens her posture unconsciously. shouta nods slightly when he sees that nemuri is taking him seriously too.

"i trust you nemuri. i know you. you never do romance without triple-thinking about your decisions and for that, i'm truly grateful. but she's problem child's mom, do you understand? this is about him as much as it is about midoriya-san. make sure your choices respect his stance too. he admires you, probably even got wind already of what's between you and midoriya-san, and i've worked with him enough to know that he won't speak up even if it hurts him. so as an adult, make the decisions for him. he is a strong kid, but he's still a kid. so don't forget that."

and shouta's right, as always. this exact situation had been plaguing her mind for a long time now. it's not just a relationship with inko who is very much a civilian, but it's also a relationship with a mother whose son has a penchant for shattering his limbs.

it's not just a relationship with the woman she likes (loves), but it's a relationship with the family. nemuri's an outsider, and from inko's emails nemuri knows enough that for so long, it's always been izuku and inko alone. nemuri is the first to want to be part of their duo, and while most of it is because of inko, a part of her wants to be there for izuku too.

“i understand,” nemuri finally responds because she does.

she understands why shouta is worried for her, but more importantly for izuku. growing up with an absent father, along with a dormant quirk that only manifested because of a stressful experience must have been very tough for the kid. the shit cherry on top of a shittier ice cream is the fact that izuku previously lived his life quirkless. shouta and nemuri both know the discrimination on quirks. shouta was called a villain for “stealing” quirks, and nemuri was sexualized even at such a young age. life was shit for both of them, so they both know just how worse people treated izuku just for being quirkless. 

and nemuri wants to be there for him too. sure, she wouldn’t have felt this if she didn’t develop feelings for inko, but the how doesn’t matter more than the fact that nemuri wants to now. 

because izuku deserves another adult in his life who actually gives a shit. because inko deserves love. because they deserve a bigger family and nemuri wants to provide that for them.

shouta nods firmly and it’s like he gave his blessing which is weirdly comforting. he stands beside her for a solid minute, not really doing anything but nemuri’s been friends with him for so long that she knows that this is his way of supporting her. she smiles and lets the mood settle.

he leaves after and nemuri prepares for her meeting with the midoriyas. usually the parents do not meet other teachers sans the homeroom teacher but with the excuse that nemuri wants to discuss izuku’s hero name to the both of them, she finally gets to meet inko.

and she meets inko, alright. 

inko is beautiful. gods the pictures that she saw on izuku’s instagram does not do her justice because inko is just so wow.

inko giggles from where she’s standing beside a smiling izuku and nemuri realizes that she just said that out loud.

it’s like the confidence that she associated with her hero persona bled away and she is left as nemuri with a bodysuit on. fuck, nemuri feels embarrassment crawling in.

“uhhhhh,” she says smartly, still lagging. inko giggles again, but this time nemuri managed to catch the blush high on the swell of her cheeks. jesus, inko’s a goddess.

nemuri doesn’t even know how to come back from that solid lame move as she stands there, gaping at inko. izuku also looks like he wants to die along with nemuri so at least their kid her student is struggling with nemuri.

“it’s so nice to meet you, kayama-chan,” inko greets for everyone, and nemuri now wants to die for a new reason because

kayama-chan????

inko is so fucking precious, what the hellll.

before nemuri can reply, however, the door opens and yagi’s head pops in. 

“good evening! can i borrow midoriya-kun for a moment?” yagi asks.

“uh- yeah, sure,” nemuri says at the same time inko goes, “of course, yagi-san!”

izuku bids them a goodbye, rushing towards yagi. it’s when yagi turns to nemuri again, sending a wink her way, that nemuri realizes that she’s gonna be left alone with inko.

(also why the fuck does yagi know-)

ANYWAYS IT’S GETTING LONG AND MY LAPTOP IS LAGGING AS I TYPE THIS BUT BASICALLY

nemuri and inko get to know each other that night

nezu knows, don’t worry, and practically gave his blessing to nemuri too (nemuri finds it the next day. it being a guidebook on how to properly prepare for the role of being a step-mother)

inko asks nemuri if she wants to meet up for drinks or food next time, to which nemuri easily agrees

izuku does know that his teacher is wooing his mom, inko told him

when inko and nemuri were about to start dating each other, inko talks to izuku about it

their conversation went like:

“mom, i’m happy as long as you are happy.” 

“you are my happiness, baby, so your decision is important.” 

“*crying* i want you to find someone who makes you as happy as kacchan makes me happy. i want you to find someone to grow old with. i want you to find love... she does, right? kayama-san makes you happy, right?” 

“*crying* yes, love. she makes me so so so happy.”

"good.”

nemuri talks to izuku too

she tells him about her feelings about wanting to be family with him and inko, and that this relationship is his call as much as it is hers and inko’s

izuku really really loves nemuri for that. he gives her his blessing

so that’s how inko and nemuri started dating <333

eight months into their relationship, nemuri asks izuku to stay with katsuki for a night and izuku skillfully does not ask why

02:

i think people headcanon that inko is a paralegal so like,,,

this happened when UA transitioned to the dorm systems

nemuri is suing someone for inappropriate behaviour performed on her

the case is sent to inko’s workplace because they specialize for people with “sex” quirks and nemuri’s case fell under the same file

it’s an organization that ensures that defendants cannot use the victim’s quirk as an excuse for their actions

inko learns the case and goes ruthless in digging up and studying evidences against the defendant 

nemuri and inko had to keep meeting to work on the case, and along the way feelings get involved

they wait for the case to finish and be solved before they addressed their feelings and growing relationship

nemuri wins the case

inko asks her out the same night, during their celebration

izuku found out about their relationship when he came home to visit inko, only to see his mother smooching his teacher in their kitchen

“is this why you cannot look at me in the eye anymore, midnight-san???”

he accidentally calls nemuri mom four weeks into knowing that inko and nemuri are dating

both inko and nemuri cried
