Izuku Fanfic Concept

cogito ergo sum - wyvri.

Help me decide where this fic goes ! :)

Summary: Izuku's mom pulled him out of middle school early due to an incident with Bakugo, leading him to go to online school instead, and made him realize he needed to be physically strong to be a hero.

Length: 1,100 words.

Chapter I: ubi vermis vertit

“One… two,” he paused, breathing deeply, “three… four,” he sank to the floor, holding himself up just above the carpet, then lifted himself back up slowly, making sure to keep his arms fully engaged. 

“Izuku!” a feminine voice called from another room, “It’s time for dinner.”

They sat up, wiping sweat off of their face with the towel that’d been resting on their neck. “Okay!” he called out in acknowledgement, grabbing his discarded shirt and pulling it back on. He did a few stretches to cool down before leaving his room and meeting his mom at the dining table.

“How was your day, sweetie?” his mom asked, a light smile decorating her face.

“It was good,” he answered, “I got a lot of school work done, then worked on some personal projects, then did my workout.”

She laughed, “Good, good, but please make sure to shower after dinner, okay?”

“Of course,” he agreed.

“Thank you for the food,” the pair said simultaneously before diving into the lovingly cooked meal. His mother wasn’t a professional chef, but the motherly love he could taste was unbeatable by any number of Michelin stars.

“It’s delicious,” he conceded mid-bite. “Oh thank you, dear,” his mother’s smile grew extra bright, “You’re so kind, Izuku, you just need to use it to get some friends,” she sighed.

They frowned, pointedly keeping their gaze on their food, “...Yeah,” he agreed softly. “I have some friends online, you know,” he tried.

She looked at him sadly, “I’m aware but… I just want you to get out of the house from time to time, outside of your running and training. I want you to go out and have fun with other people,” she insisted.

He thought back to the last time he’d tried to make any friends, before he’d been pulled out of normal school, and how well that’d went. He shook his head, he didn’t want to think about Bakugou and his cronies ever again. “I’ll try,” he mumbled.

. . .

The steam surrounding him and the warm water rushing down his skin relaxed his muscles, allowing him to release a long sigh pent up from the emotions during dinner. It had all just brought him back to that day…

It was near the end of his first year of middle school. Something had gotten Bakugou especially ticked off; he was never that mean, just picked on him here and then. But that day he’d been angrier than Izuku had ever seen him, angry to the point he wasn’t even fully focused on his school work. Bakugo had always been a very diligent student.

Izuku was minding his own business, scribbling away on the algebra worksheet that’d been handed out a few minutes prior. In the back of his mind, he’d noticed Bakugo grumbling to himself but didn’t think much of it.

The screeeeech of a chair’s legs scratching against the floor startled him out of his focus, causing Izuku to look up and see Bakugo standing menacingly over his desk. “W-What’s wrong, Kacchan?” he’d innocently asked.

The blonde teen just glowered at him in seething silence, only making Izuku more confused.

“Kacchan, are you– are you alright?”

BAM.

He was punched in the face so hard his chair tipped over, causing his head to slam into the back wall. “Don’t even think about being a hero, nerd,” he spat, walking back to his seat.

It was odd, even in hindsight after the concussion faded, how he’d immediately dissolved into his usual self after that, leaving Izuku to lay in confusion and pain as blood trickled out of his scalp. He laid there for too long, blood soaking into green-tinted strands, dyeing the curls black. Their vision faded in and out, staring at the ceiling and yet seeing nothing at all. The only thought left in his mind was a startled, “Huh?”

. . .

Izuku’s mom had taken him out of Aldera after that. His mom was under the impression that he’d left his heroic dreams behind with the change of scenery. “Hah,” they thought to themself, “as if.” If anything, they’d left behind their weak self in the halls of that school. Bakugo’s actions had shocked him into reality, making him realize he’d never make it as a hero with his noodle-like figure. Since that day, he’s had a consistent workout routine, all explicitly planned out in his Workout Plan for the Future notebook.

They’d done extensive research into heroes’ fighting styles, their physiques, and how those benefited the respective hero. He’d realized that, as a quirkless person, he’d need to be willing to play dirty; he needed to be fast, flexible, and creative. His mother allowing him to take online school was the seal of the deal: it gave him all the time he’d ever need.

It took a few weeks of psyching himself up post-incident to get started on his master plan, first by begging his mom to buy him a few starter weights after getting tired of lifting house plants. Now, they’ve turned Hisashi’s old office into a gym. It had taken him getting a part time job and selling most of his hero merch, but with him breezing through his schooling he had all the time in the world. It was necessary because most gyms didn’t let quirkless people get a membership and the membership itself and daily transportation would have almost been more expensive than the set up he had now. They were proud of the gym and who they'd become which is what truly mattered. Just working out wasn’t going to cut it, so he’d made sure to look into yoga and other forms of stretching.

He had no desire to be All Might, instead he wanted to be lean and strong, able to essentially wrap himself around the opponent with his technique. Though they’d never get rid of their admiration for the Number One Hero, they’d realized it simply wasn’t realistic for him to match the man. This realization led him down the enlightening rabbit hole of Underground Heroics, exactly what he’d have to do: the less people knew he was quirkless, the more people would be looking for a quirk. Anything unknown about his quirk status would be an advantage for him, leaving his opponent guessing and anticipating something that doesn’t exist. He never wanted to be a hero for fame anyway.

His preparation would come to fruition in just a few months, the UA Heroics exam not all that far away. They, of course, weren’t just going to limit themselves to UA, though it was most convenient, they’d apply to every Heroics school in Japan if that’s what it took… maybe they’d even look in America.

Izuku just wanted to prove that a quirkless kid could become a hero and he’d be damned if he didn’t make that happen.

. . . The End. (For Now)

I'm not sure where to take this, though I know Izuku will be rejected from UA. Should he:

Go to Shiketsu

Become a Vigilante

Go to UA in the support or general course, then transfer

I just can't decide! I've always wanted to develop Shiketsu more, but it'd be EXTREMELY OC heavy.

Izuku keeps cumming prematurely. It's to be expected, really, he was a virgin when you met and he gets worked up easily. You've never held it against him- in fact you find it pretty hot. He always keeps going, though it can be hard for him. Too intense. And embarrassing in his eyes. He's a firm believer in making your partner cum first. So you had to come up with something to help him hold off for a few minutes, for his sake.

That's how you end up on his lap, telling him to talk you through his last homework assignment or his favorite anime. He rambles through equations or plot points in extreme detail while you ride him, asking him questions to keep his focus off of your pussy and on whatever topic he chose. It works pretty well- he doesn't cum within the first fifteen minutes if fucking you, and you think it's hot when he rambles. It's a trait about him that initially attracted you to him in the first place. You love your nerdy little boyfriend and his rambling <3

I’m sorry, but Katsuki almost solo-funding Izuku’s support suit so they can officially be pro heroes together and Izuku can have his dream back is peak romance and nobody can change my mind.
