“yes, i do agree, principal nezu. i’ll look forward to that when classes return this monday.”
your hands braced against his shoulder—moments faltering for a second—but you continued when you heard izuku turn off his mic with a click! your own breathing was ragged as izuku picked up your pace for you, his strong hands guiding you up and down and up and down on his dick. the change of pace cleared all coherent thoughts that you were thinking of.
and the thought of getting caught really sounded . . .
“‘zuku— uhn! F- fuck, wait..!”
he tutted softly. “you’re not in the position to make requests, doll. you wanted this, no?” he smiled, placing a kiss on your shoulder.
“then you’ll have to take everything i give you while I’m still in my meeting.”
AMAJIKI TAMAKI ❤︎ quickie during an important dinner. semi-public sex, quirk usage, creampie.
you’re about to collapse at this point. “tama— hah..! too much, too much,” you panted in his ear.
“you have to b-be quiet, hon,” tamaki tells you, though you could barely reply anything when one of his tentacle appendages suddenly occupied your mouth to keep the noise down. “fuck,” he whined quietly, head resting on your shoulder as he had you resting on the counter, his hips at the fastest pace he could muster. “h-have to be quick, or else someone might walk in, r-right?”
that, or those in your table might wonder where you two have gone.
you could only nod, helpless and pliant under your husband’s mercy.
“‘m close,” he tells you, “inside, hon?”
he has the courtesy to ask as if he wasn’t already planning to. it’s the thought that counts, maybe.
“h—nggh! tama,” you whine, all protests on your tongue are swallowed by him, the tentacle appendage replaced by tamaki’s tongue—tasting you as if he’s been starved for years.
“so—“ kiss “—fucking—“ kiss “—amazing, hon,” he pants in between kisses, feeling you clench around his dick just pushed tamaki over the edge—his hot spurts of cum filling your womb in a way that had your eyes rolling to the back of your head.
it was also an important thing to note that when tamaki comes, it’s a lot even if it comes in intervals. It’s a lot and hot against your fluttering walls. it’s ok, you were his to take anyway.
TAKAMI KEIGO ❤︎ sex as a coping mechanism or distraction, riding, oral fixation.
“dove,” he pants, “wait a moment— mmph!”
the moment keigo stepped inside, he didn’t have any grace period before your lips were on his. hands gripping his jacket, pulling him close. you had him pressed against the door, your body warm, your breath shaky against his mouth as you kissed him with need.
need to cope to not take another huff of another cigarette. he remembers now how he jokingly said that for every time you felt like smoking, you could kiss him instead.
keigo didn’t necessarily mean to kiss him ‘til he’s lightheaded—‘til he was sitting on the couch, you straddling him. you didn’t even wait before you were already sinking down into his cock, taking all the breath he has left as you kissed him again, your tongues intertwining just right that it had your nails digging at his shoulders.
quite frankly, keigo didn’t really mind.
“dove—fuck, don’t hurt yourself,” he murmurs, thrusting up to meet your pace. “shit, ‘m exhausted, you know this,” he tuts softly, earning a pitiful whine from you. “but i guess you can’t help it, yeah?”
you can’t even reply. not when keigo had you sucking on two of his digits, anything to keep your mouth occupied as he fucks into you. it doesn’t even take long for you to cum when one hand’s in your mouth and the other toying with your clit.
“atta girl,” he chuckled. “i guess we’re going to have to fill your mouth, too, huh? alright, alright, you win.”

Katsuki Bakugo who, after accidentally stepping into the bar you just so happened to work at late at night with his buddies, sat on his stool with his brows knit together as he stared at you in an attempt to figure out where he knew you from.
It took a loud laugh and slap on the back from Kirishima to realize that, shit, you were the person he crushed on all those years ago at UA. That stupid, pathetic crush where he had to pretend that he totally hated you more than the others in class and that you bothered the shit out of him.
He hadn't spoken to you since graduation and knew you didn't have much of a presence on social media other than an occaisional appearance on Sero or Ashido's Instagram posts.
Katsuki Bakugo who could also quite literally not look you in the eye once Kirishima motioned you over and would not stop talking to you. It felt like he was doing it on purpose just to annoy him. Katsuki hid his face behind his beer, trying desperately not to slam the redhead's face into the counter.
But, god, your laugh...Katsuki was upset that he wasn't the one that made you laugh, but it sounded just the same
He didn't know how it happened, maybe he was slightly tipsy, but he had written his number down on a napkin and slid it to you wordlessly as he stormed out of the bar at the end of the night.
Maybe finally, after all those years, Katsuki Bakugo finally had the guts to ask out his silly high school crush.
part two here <3

“𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥.” 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 :: 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐢
ミ★ Introduction | ୨୧ Hero 𝖲𝗍𝗎𝖽𝖾𝗇𝗍𝗌
─☆﹔ 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀/𝗧𝗮𝗴𝘀 :: Bakugou 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖻𝖻𝗅𝖾 - fluff - following the events of him basically beating Izuku up.
"Sweets, what are you doing?" Bakugou mumbled his head burried in your neck, arms wrapped around you from behind. You were making breakfast in the UA dorms. During yesterday’s battles you had gotten hurt while fighting against your father, Present Mic, with your classmate Mina.
Though you had beaten him eventually it was at the cost of a lot off blood loss. Though, it wasn’t as bad as the fight between your boyfriend and Izuku Midoriya. The long time grudge he had against the green haired nerd was fought out. And in the end they both got house arrest. So while you stayed at the dorms to get better, they were their because of their own doings.
“Breakfast.” You replied with an slight huff in your tone, “oh, come on sweets. Don’t be like that.” Bakugou groaned in your neck gently kissing your in a apologetic manner.
“Fine,” Bakugou finally gave in after a few minutes of your silent treatment. “I’ll.. try to get along with that nerd. No promises though. Might just slap him without meanin’ to.” His words made you sigh. Sure he wasn’t sorry for beating up your childhood friend, but at least he was willingly taking a step towards salvation between them.
“Good, now go sit down, Kats’. You need energy for Recovery Girl to heal you.” You spoke while multi-tasking, placing a plate of food on the counter table while turning on the tap.
“Is there dessert?” Bakugou questioned as he picked up his chopsticks. “Me.” You answered confidently. While he just smirked placing some of the rice in his mouth after replying, “yeah, you’re the sweetest of them all.”

Katsuki x f reader one bed trope??? PLEASE????
Frozen Flames
Snow crunched beneath your boots as you trudged up the steep, frost-bitten slope, the icy wind biting at any exposed skin. The mission brief had been clear—track down and neutralize the villain terrorizing the nearby village. But of course, luck had thrown Katsuki Bakugo into your path, turning an already difficult mission into a nightmare.
“You’re too slow,” Katsuki sneered, his voice barely carrying over the howling wind. “At this rate, the villain will be sipping hot cocoa before you even show up.”
You shot him a glare, cheeks stinging from the cold and his biting words. “Not all of us need to blow everything up to get the job done, Bakugo.”
“Maybe if you actually did something useful, I wouldn’t have to.”
You bit back a retort, focusing on the task at hand. Katsuki had always been a thorn in your side since UA. Every mission, every training session was a battleground, not just against the enemies but against each other. You both had climbed the ranks quickly, proving your worth as heroes, but your rivalry never simmered down. If anything, it had only intensified.
The villain’s hideout was nestled in a cavern halfway up the mountain, obscured by snowdrifts and jagged rocks. The ambush happened fast—a blur of motion, cold wind, and ice shards hurtling toward you. Katsuki’s explosions countered them, the blasts lighting up the twilight sky.
Your quirk surged to life, heating the air around you and melting the snow at your feet as you redirected the villain's attacks. But the terrain was unforgiving, and your focus slipped for just a second.
A sharp pain tore through your side as a shard of ice embedded itself into your flesh, your blood seeping out in a vivid contrast against the pure white snow.
“Idiot!” Katsuki roared, his eyes wide with a mixture of fury and—was that worry?—as he blasted the villain backward. “Can’t you do anything right?”
You grit your teeth against the pain, forcing yourself to stand straighter. “I don’t need your help.”
“Clearly, you do.”
With one last explosion, Katsuki subdued the villain, snow and debris settling around the both of you. His chest heaved, crimson eyes blazing as they darted to your wound.
“Let me see,” he demanded, stepping closer.
“I said, I’m fine.”
“And I said let me see!” His voice was harsh, but his touch was surprisingly gentle as he peeled back the torn fabric to inspect the injury. The cold was quickly numbing your senses, making the pain less sharp but more dangerous.
Katsuki’s jaw clenched. “There’s a cabin a few minutes from here. Can you walk?”
You nodded, though your legs felt like they were made of lead. “Just...don’t blow anything up on the way.”
The trek to the cabin was brutal.
The wind howled like a wounded beast, whipping the snow in furious spirals that made it almost impossible to see beyond a few feet. Your boots crunched against the icy ground, each step sending a dull ache through your body. The wound in your side burned and throbbed, the cold numbing the pain but stealing the strength from your limbs.
And then there was him.
Katsuki Bakugo walked beside you, his presence an irritating combination of warmth and hostility. His hand, firm and unyielding, had latched onto your arm the second your knees threatened to buckle, and he hadn't let go since.
“Stop dragging me, Bakugo,” you snapped, your breath coming out in visible puffs of air.
He scoffed but didn’t loosen his grip. “Oh, excuse me, princess, for stopping you from eating shit face-first into the snow.”
“Maybe I want to eat shit. Did you ever think of that?”
His eye twitched. “You’re so damn annoying.”
You shoved at his shoulder with what little strength you had left. He barely budged, the heat from his body stark against the bone-chilling cold. “Then leave me alone.”
“You’d freeze in ten minutes. Not my fault you’re built like a damn icicle.”
Your retort died in your throat when the cabin finally came into view. It was a squat, wooden thing, nestled between the jagged ridges of the mountains, almost buried beneath thick layers of snow. Smoke no longer curled from the chimney, which meant it hadn't been used in a while—but at least it was shelter.
You barely had the strength to stumble through the door before Katsuki kicked it shut behind you, shaking the snow off his arms with an annoyed grunt.
The interior was barebones—worse than you’d hoped. A single wooden table, a few cabinets that might hold emergency supplies, a fireplace, and…
Your stomach dropped.
One. Single. Bed.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
Katsuki followed your gaze, blinking at the pitiful excuse for a sleeping arrangement before a slow, smug smirk crept across his face. “What’s wrong? Scared to share a bed with me?”
Your face burned hotter than it had any right to in subzero temperatures. “I’d rather sleep outside.”
“Be my guest.” He shrugged off his heavy coat, tossing it aside before crouching by the fireplace. With a few well-aimed sparks from his fingertips, flames roared to life, casting flickering shadows against the log walls. The warmth was immediate, seeping into your frozen bones.
Reluctantly, you shuffled closer to the fire, rubbing your hands together.
Katsuki glanced at you, then at your still-shivering form, and let out a long, suffering sigh. “You’re still cold?”
“No shit, Sherlock.”
He rolled his eyes. “You’re useless like this. Get in the damn bed.”
Your stomach flipped. “Excuse me?”
“You’re freezing, dumbass,” he grumbled, standing to his full height and stripping off his gloves. “You’re losing heat too fast. Either we do this the hard way, where you pass out and I have to warm you up anyway, or you stop being stubborn and get your ass under the covers.”
You hated that he made sense. You hated even more that he was always warm—like a walking furnace, his body heat already making the space around him feel unfairly comfortable.
But the alternative was actually freezing, and you were really starting to lose feeling in your toes.
“…Fine,” you muttered through gritted teeth, standing on shaky legs. “But if you try anything, I’ll—”
“Yeah, yeah, stab me in my sleep, blah blah. Just get in.”
The bed creaked under your combined weight as you clambered in first, bundling yourself under the rough, thin blanket. The moment Katsuki slid in beside you, the whole mattress dipped, pressing you closer together. Your entire body locked up.
And then—
Heat.
The contrast was almost shocking. His warmth radiated, sinking into your frozen limbs, your aching muscles, the marrow of your bones. You exhaled a shaky breath as relief flooded through you, but that relief was immediately overshadowed by the realization that you were spooning.
Spooning. With Bakugo.
“Relax,” Katsuki grunted from behind you, his arm firm around your waist to keep you close. “You’re shivering like crazy.”
You clenched your jaw, trying to ignore how solid he felt, how the slow rise and fall of his chest against your back was weirdly steadying. “I hate this.”
“You think I’m enjoying this?” His breath was hot against the back of your neck, making you worse. “Tch. You’re ice-cold, it’s like hugging a damn corpse.”
You elbowed him weakly. “Then let go.”
He didn’t.
Silence stretched between you, save for the occasional pop of the firewood. The exhaustion from the fight, from the cold, from everything, started creeping in, turning your limbs heavy.
“…Thanks,” you murmured reluctantly.
“For what?”
You swallowed. “Dragging my ass up here. And, y’know. Not letting me freeze to death.”
Katsuki huffed. “Damn right you should be thanking me.” But then, quieter, almost like he didn’t want you to hear it:
“…Just don’t die on me, idiot.”
Your eyes fluttered shut. The warmth, the exhaustion, him—it was all too much.
For once, you didn’t argue.

Thermal Imaging Market Insights & Size Analysis 2025
Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Thermal Imaging Market by Type (Handheld Cameras, Fixed Cameras, Scopes, Modules), Technology (Cooled, Uncooled), Wavelength (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR), Application (Security & Surveillance) - Global Forecast to 2032’
According to the latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the thermal imaging market is expected to reach $7.8 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2032. This market’s growth is attributed to several factors, such as the growing need for surveillance & security solutions and the increasing utilization of thermal imaging in manufacturing and industrial settings. Additionally, the surge in demand for thermal imaging in healthcare, growing military & defense expenditure in advanced surveillance technologies, and rising unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the availability of alternative imaging technologies, such as visible light cameras & radar systems, may restrain the growth of this market.
On the other hand, the high cost of thermal imaging devices is a major challenge for the players operating in this market.
The global thermal imaging market is segmented by type, technology, wavelength, and application. This study also evaluates end-user industry competitors and analyzes the market at the region/country level.
Based on type, the thermal imaging market is broadly segmented into handheld/portable cameras, fixed/mounted cameras, scopes & eyewear, and modules. In 2025, the portable or handheld cameras segment is expected to account for the largest share, over 55.0%. This segment's large market share is attributed to its features, such as ease of use and portability, and the growing use of portable or handheld cameras for field inspection & maintenance and emergency and rescue operations.
However, the fixed/mounted cameras segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is driven by its ability to provide continuous, high-precision, real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure without the need for manual intervention, to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and its increasing demand for fixed thermal cameras for integrating with automated security and monitoring systems.
Based on technology, the thermal imaging market is segmented into cooled thermal imaging and uncooled thermal imaging. In 2025, the cooled thermal imaging segment is expected to account for a larger share of over 64.0% of the thermal imaging market. This segment’s large market share is due to its sensitivity, high accuracy, long-range detection, and image resolution, which allows for the detection of minute temperature differences and the capture of detailed thermal images and increasing use of cooled thermal imaging for extreme environmental conditions, such as high-temperature industrial environments or cold regions.
However, the uncooled thermal imaging segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is driven by its features, including cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, reduced operational costs, and growing demand for uncooled thermal imaging products in applications such as building diagnostics, wildlife monitoring, emergency response, law enforcement, and temporary monitoring needs in various scenarios.
Based on wavelength, the thermal imaging market is segmented into shortwave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and longwave infrared (LWIR). In 2025, the LWIR segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 49.0% of the thermal imaging market. The growing use of LWIR cameras in environmental monitoring, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), security and surveillance, and the need to detect thermal radiation emitted by objects across various industries are the main causes of this segment's large market share. Other factors include the segment's ability to provide non-contact temperature measurement for monitoring high-temperature processes and equipment, and its cost-effectiveness in comparison to MWIR and SWIR systems.
However, the SWIR segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by its superior image contrast and detail, enhanced capability to ensure clear visibility in challenging environmental conditions, including smoke, fog, and haze, and growing demand for SWIR technology in medical diagnostics for non-invasive imaging.
Based on application, the thermal imaging market is segmented into aerospace & defense, security & surveillance, building & construction, personal vision systems, healthcare & medical diagnostics, energy & utilities, agriculture, research & development, search & rescue operations, marine systems, and other applications. In 2025, the security & surveillance segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 41.0% of the thermal imaging market. The growing need for improved surveillance capabilities, such as visibility in low light and obscured conditions, the growing use of thermal imaging to improve perimeter security for securing sensitive facilities and high-profile events, and the growing integration of thermal cameras into smart security systems to the overall effectiveness of security measures are all factors contributing to this segment's large market share.
However, the healthcare & medical diagnostics segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is being driven by an increase in demand for thermal imaging technology owing to its non-invasive nature for early disease detection by identifying abnormal heat patterns associated with conditions such as breast cancer, vascular disorders, and inflammation, and an increase in the use of thermal imaging for fever screening in public areas and in veterinary medicine to diagnose and monitor health conditions in animals.
Based on geography, the thermal imaging market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2025, North America is expected to account for the largest share of over 36.0% of the thermal imaging market.
North America's significant market share can be attributed to several key factors, including rising concerns over terrorism, crime, and public safety, increasing deployment of thermal imaging in large-scale surveillance applications such as city-wide monitoring or border control, increasing technological advancements in thermal imaging, high investments in advanced technologies for military and defense applications, and growing focus on advancing medical tools for non-invasive diagnostics and early disease detection.
Moreover, Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR of over 8.5% during the forecast period.

You’re just about folding up the patterned oven mitts and dusting the remnants of flour from your powder covered hands, reaching for the timer on the side with your free hand while the other closes the oven door, when Aizawa makes his sleepy way into the kitchen.
“Cookies.” You say, gesturing vaguely towards the oven as you start to wipe down the kitchen island of your shared apartment.
“Don’t you think it’s a little late for that?” He responds. It comes out as a tired grumble, but you know better than to feel offended- behind the facade, he appreciates the late night cooking really.
It probably is a little late for baking, though, considering the only light inside the kitchen comes from the lamps dotted sporadically around the open plan apartment. But you’d just come back from a long few hours of a UA staff meeting, followed by two months worth of lesson planning, trying not to daydream while nibbling at the end of your nails; a bad habit, as Aizawa is constantly reminding you, and you hop up onto the kitchen island while you gaze over at the cookies inside the oven.
You’re just starting to chew the inside of your cheek absentmindedly in silent stress when you feel large hands on your hips and you jolt in surprise at the sudden contact. You look up, and his eyes meet yours. Drowsy, certainly-when are they not- but you think the way his eyes are half lidded has nothing to do with tiredness and everything to do with the way your thighs rub together when he starts to massage your hips lazily.
“Stay still.” He says, when you try to stand up from the island to kiss him. He leans down instead, lips meeting yours while Japan hums outside. The kiss is slow, reverent, until it isn’t- until he’s nipping at your bottom lip and you’re gasping into his mouth when one of his warm hands snakes from your hip under the sweater you’re wearing to cup at your chest over your bra.
And suddenly, too agile for you to even process it, he’s on his knees in front of you while you sit on the island and then he’s cupping your ass and yanking you towards him, manhandling your legs in such a matter of fact manner you’d think it happens everyday. A series of shaky breaths leave your parted lips as you gaze down at him while he peels your pyjama pants away from your legs and tosses them over his shoulders, your underwear quick to follow.
“Shota…” you whisper down at him as he starts to lazily kiss his way up your thighs while his fingertips grip you and you start to squirm on the counter.
“I thought I told you to stay still.” He takes his time, nipping and kissing at your inner thighs like he hasn’t done this before; you’re just considering tugging at his hair when his mouth finally makes contact with your slick and you almost squeal at the sudden sensation.
He’s good, almost so good it annoys you- he’s good at everything, a fact that you’re reminded of again when he licks the first slow stripe of many up your pussy and you have to bite your knuckles to stop yourself from gasping. He pauses to lightly kiss at your clit, an action which draws a moan from you. You sound wrecked, and he hasn’t even started.
He grins against you.
He spends a while simply alternating between sucking at your clit and kissing over the marks he’s left to blossom unattended over your inner thighs, holding you in place with the hands that switch between massaging your thighs or gripping at your hips. He explores you selfishly, like he could stay in between your legs forever and never get tired. He’s straining at his underwear, you can tell, but he doesn’t move a hand to palm himself; he just lets his cock stay stubbornly hard as he continues his ministrations with you on the counter.
You lean back on your elbows at some point, eyes fluttering shut and head tipping back while you let Aizawa tear more slow sighs from your throat with every movement. He’s got his eyes shut too, although you barely process when he starts moaning into you too- your thighs tighten around his skull but he pays it no mind. Slowly, so slowly you barely notice, one of his hands drops from your hip to work two fingers inside of you and you gasp. He’s crooking his fingers lazily, letting you feel the stretch.
“You needed this.” It’s not a question, but a statement- it’s disconcerting how well he can read you sometimes, a thought that’s periodically struck you since your first meeting with him all that time ago.
“Y-yeah.” You reply, moaning unabashedly into the kitchen. If you could play it back afterwards and hear the noises you’re making, you know you’d be embarrassed- the noise of Aizawa licking at your pussy while his fingers scissor inside you, coupled with the lengthy moans you’re both letting out, are certainly enough to make you want to bury your face in a pillow and smother yourself but at the moment you don’t care.
He knows you’re getting closer when you start clenching around his fingers, and he redoubles his efforts. Fingers pump in and out of you, curling, while he sucks at your clit and you know you won’t hold on much longer. You’re vaguely aware of him muttering something against you but it’s so muffled you can’t pick up on it- whatever it is, though, you know it’s filthy. Your moans increase in volume as you squeeze around him, and he’s still whispering low praise into you as you cum around his fingers and tongue and practically scream.
Your elbows give out until you’re lying slumped on the counter, staring at the ceiling until your eyes roll back and your spine curves away from the cool marble below you. When you finish squeezing your thighs around his head like you’re trying to dislocate his jaw, you feel Aizawa slowly withdraw his mouth from you and remove your thighs from around him. He stands up- still hard- and moves to help you sit up, so tender in his movements you almost forget the amount of bruises on the inside of your thighs.
“Holy shit.” You say blearily.
He chuckles lowly, looking down at you as you rub at your eyes. His lower face is still glistening with remnants of your own slick but you don’t care as you pull him in for an appreciative kiss before pulling back to gaze up at him and smile.
“Shota-“ you say, until you’re cut off by the piercing ring of your timer. You both wince at the sudden intrusion into your intimacy, but you’re glad of it later when you’re lying on the couch, feet in his lap, chewing on a cookie.
“You want one?” You ask, dusting crumbs off of yourself.
“I already ate.” He says back.
You throw a pillow at his head.

holiday party
pairing: aizawa x reader summary: Shouta contemplates the possibility of expelling his coworkers. wc: 2.4k event masterlist

“Sensei, are you going to the staff holiday party tonight?”
You’d been a teacher at UA long enough to know to be suspicious of some students. There were some—Asui, Ochaco, Togata, Hado—who were genuinely interested in your life beyond school due to their openhearted personalities. They weren’t overstepping boundaries, but simply curious to get to know you. It was a good quality to have in a hero.
But then there were students like Kaminari and Ashido.
It’s not to say that they weren’t openhearted or curious, but their intentions seemed to dip more towards meddling than innocent questioning.
“Why?” You glanced up from grading, casting a suspicious glance over the two students who had barged into your classroom during lunch. It was far from the first time students from Class 1A had taken over your free period, the frequency had gone down significantly since Shouta had lectured them about overstepping. You’d only smiled and assured him that they weren’t a bother, but he’d insisted.
Most of the students seemed to get Aizawa’s message and respect your break as your free time. Kaminari and Ashido had only shown up more frequently, asking more and more questions about your personal life. Not that you had much of one beyond UA and being a pro hero.
“Just curious!” Ashido’s words were rushed, punctuated by a nervous look from Kaminari that she met with wide, chastising eyes. You didn’t need to be a pro to realize they were hiding something, and Kaminari was dangerously close to spilling his secrets.
“Uh-huh,” You hummed, turning back to your papers on your desk. They were a lot more organized than you usually kept them, thanks to Shouta staying late with you the previous week to help you get your classroom back together. And though he had been exhausted, like usual, he refused to give into your requests to let you finish on your own.
“So? Are you?” Kaminari leaned forward, grinning as wide as he did when you announced class would be outside in the training fields. Finally pausing your grading, you leaned back into your office chair and examined them with narrowed eyes. Maybe you’d get Shouta to lecture them extra, for good measure.
“I am,” You confirmed, watching as the two students shared a brief look of excitement before turning back to face you, their lunch trays completely ignored on the desks before them. “Why do you two care so much? Students aren’t permitted to go.”
“Mr. Aizawa said he was going to be there too, did you know?” Ashido ignored your question and countered with one of her own, giving her and Kaminari’s intentions away.
“Oh,” You struggled to keep your expression neutral. “I get it, now.”
Denki Kaminari and Mina Ashido were far from the first set of students to try and set you up with Shouta Aizawa, but they were by far the least subtle about it. You were pretty sure they were only a few short minutes away from asking if you had a crush on their homeroom teacher.
Every year, there were a few students that noticed the friendship between you and the underground hero and interpreted it as something deeper than it was. Sure, you were closer to Shouta than most others, and he dedicated a lot of his personal time to helping you with menial tasks or bettering yourself, but it didn’t mean anything.
High schoolers just liked to see romance everywhere.
Panic crossed over Kaminari and Ashido’s faces at the implication of being caught out, and you fought hard to keep your expression neutral and hide your amusement. But before you could assure them that you weren’t upset at their attempt to meddle, the door to your classroom opened abruptly.
You half expected to see Shouta standing there, summoned by your thoughts and the mention of his name. But it was only Hizashi Yamada, dressed in his costume and grinning like he wanted to start some trouble.
“Hi, Mr. Mic!” Kaminari greeted while him and Ashido scrambled to pack up their belongings and get out of the room. By their reaction, you could tell they clearly had thought Shouta had been the one at the door and panicked that he would catch onto their plan.
“Bye, Senseis!” Ashido waved over her shoulder to both you and Yamada as she shoved Kaminari out the door. You returned the wave with an amused smile, knowing that they were far from discouraged from their plan.
“What was that all about?” Yamada stepped closer to your desk to deliver the copies of an assignment you’d asked for, but his curiosity got the better of him.
“They asked if I was going to the staff dinner tonight.” You explained casually, knowing what you were in for if you didn’t pick your words and your tone carefully. “They mentioned that Shouta would be there, as if that would encourage me to go.”
“Well?” Yamada asked, voice loud and taunting as he set his hands on your desk to lean closer, like he might be able to draw out your secrets that way. “Has Shouta finally asked you to be his date?”
It wasn’t just the students who thought they could get you and Shouta together.
“It’s a work holiday party, not a middle school dance.” You rolled your eyes, dropping your attention back to your papers to avoid looking at Yamada, lest he see the truth you had buried deep, deep down. “You sound like the students.”
“Burn!” He shouted, and even without using his quirk he was loud enough to make you flinch. Shooting him a glare, you met his teasing smile head on. “You two are made for each other. Do me a favor and let me give a speech at the wedding?”
For the second time in only a few short minutes, the door to your classroom opened and another unannounced figure strolled in like they were taking your class.
“Who’s getting married?” Nemuri Kayama asked, her long dark hair effortlessly cascading down her back and smug grin letting you know without a doubt that she was going to back Yamada in his teasing.
“Who do we have bets on for getting married?” Yamada prompted her answer with his own question, causing your face to twist in confusion. There were a lot of bets floating around the UA teacher’s lounge, but you knew of only one that had to do with a relationship.
“Snipe and Ectoplasm?” You asked, throwing out the bet you and Kayama had made months prior after what was probably a few too many drinks.
“No.” Yamada clapped loudly, then used both hands to point finger guns at you. “You and Eraser.”
With the pros Present Mic and Midnight laughing at the look on your face, you realized your lunch break was going to be eaten up by trying to convince your friends that there wasn’t anything going on between you and your mutual friend. They’d never believe you, but it was worth a shot.
Maybe you’d have Shouta give them a lecture, too.

You blamed Kayama. You really blamed Yamada.
But you hadn’t stopped thinking about the fact that your coworkers had a bet running about how long until you’d get together with Shouta. You had a hard time believing that it had been kept up so long without you noticing, but Kayama had assured you that if you helped her win by making a move by Christmas, she’d give you half her cut.
Yamada had yelled at you for thinking about cheating, and it was shortly after that your next class period started. You’d tried to focus, really, on what your lesson was about. But you had made a few errors, mind focused on something in the distance.
Focusing on what exactly was so damning about you and Shouta that so many people seemed to think that it would be a good idea to get the two of you together.
That thought led to you thinking about Shouta himself. And yeah, okay, he was one of the most attractive men you had ever seen. He was tall, had gorgeous hair—you had always loved when he let you tie it back for him. Not just because you got to run your fingers inconsequentially through his hair, but also because he looked even more attractive with it tied up in a knot at the base of his neck.
You weren’t naive enough to think that your personalities didn’t mesh well, either. Both of your humors leaned towards the dry side, and where he struggled with caring about details he didn’t find rational, you did enough for the both of you. And he matched your energy like a puzzle piece, his strengths covering your weaknesses like you had been made for each other.
And—fine. Maybe you could admit that you’d thought about kissing him stupid one or two times.
One thing led to another and you realized you had a massive crush on one of your closest friends.
“You’re very jumpy tonight,”
Calm, rational. Shouta Aizawa was everything you currently weren’t as you clung to the wall of the teacher’s lounge, the space decorated for the holidays with drinks and music and food to snack on. You’d managed to keep yourself busy, distracted, but Vlad had just ditched you in favor of conversing with Cementoss about something you hadn’t actually heard him mention.
Which had been fine with you. You weren’t exactly sure how to navigate your newly discovered feelings for Shouta.
Until he approached you, drink in hand and looking devilishly handsome with his hair tied half up. You think you liked that style more than the low knot, you realized.
“Am I?” You managed to squeak, tearing yourself from thoughts about all the different hairstyles you could get him to try out. He sent you a concerned look, intelligent eyes scanning your face for any sign of what might have caused your discomfort and change in demeanor.
You were certain that you looked about as casual as Kaminiari and Ashido had in your classroom earlier that day.
“Yes. Kayama asked me to come and check on you.”
Traitor. You knew she was just trying to win her bet, and had hoped to accomplish it by sending him over to the corner of the room you had taken residence in for the evening.
“Well?” Met only with your silence, Shouta had to prompt you again in an attempt to get your attention. Flushing slightly, you turned away from where you were glaring at Kayama and finally shifted your attention to the man you, apparently not so subtly, been avoiding all evening. “Are you alright?”
No, you weren’t. You found yourself with a massive crush on the one person students and coworkers had been pushing you towards for a few years. And if they had been nudging you towards him, it only stood to reason that they had been encouraging him to approach you, too.
And if he hadn’t ever mentioned it to you, then he clearly didn’t feel the same towards you as you had recently realized.
“Did you know there are bets about us getting together?” The words tumbled past your lips before you had the chance to stop them, and you winced, waiting for the shock and disgust to wash over the rational hero’s face.
Except, he only turned to glare out over the rest of the party. You were pretty sure you saw Yamada and Kayama turn away quickly, as if they hadn’t been so clearly watching the two of you.
“I’m assuming Hizashi is to blame for you finding out.” He simply sighed, bringing his attention back to you. Frowning, you flustered attention snagged on his last two words.
“Wait, find out? Did you know?” Your question brought a rare blush to his face, palm scrubbing over his face as he tried to think of an explanation for why you had been the last one to know about something that was so heavily focused on, well, you.
“Yes, I did.” He admitted, voice almost deep and rough enough to distract you. You weren’t mad, just really, really confused. “I tried to get him to stop, but it spiralled out of my control. If you’re uncomfortable by it, I will talk to him again—”
“I’m not uncomfortable, Sho,” You interrupted, and though confusion knitted your features together you knew the one thing you weren’t confused about was whether or not your friends placing a few teasing bets made you uncomfortable. “I’m just not sure where everyone seems to be getting the idea that we’re made for eachother, like Yamada told me this morning.”
“It’s my fault.”
“What? How is it your fault?”
“A while ago, I told Hizashi how I felt about you, and he made a comment about how he bet that I wouldn’t tell you. Eventually, Kayama got brought into it, and before I could get them to stop, most of the faculty had placed money on it.”
“Hold on, slow down.” You waved your hand between the two of you as if to physically slow down his thoughts. Frowning, you tried to make sense of it in your head without jumping to conclusions and hurting your own feelings. “How do you feel about me?”
“This is not how I wanted to go about this, but I think my hand has been forced.” He turned sharply to glare at Yamada and Kayama again, only for you to follow his line of sight and realize that you and Shouta had gathered the attention of more of the staff.
You felt the corners of your lips start to curve up as you wondered just how many of your friends had money on you and Shouta getting together.
“Do you want to get out of here? I’d rather not have everyone listening in when I tell you how much I care about you.” He reasoned, and you couldn’t stop your smile from forming. Grinning, you nodded, and watched in delight as Shouta gave you his own hesitant smile. “And I think Hizashi is going to start singing carols soon, too.”
You smiled, laughing softly at his comment. You knew exactly what he meant—as soon as there was a sign of the colder months, Yamada was belting out holiday songs like his life depended on it. And his singing voice was not as enjoyable as his announcer voice.
“Yeah, I’d like that.”
Setting your discarded cup on a table as you passed, you used your newly freed hand to tentatively brush your knuckles against Shouta’s fingers. You weren’t sure how much he wanted everyone attending the staff party to know about what he had just confessed, but when he soundly wrapped his hand around yours to lead you from the room, you figured he didn’t care much at all.
Which was fine by you. Kayama owed you half her winnings, anyways.

Dronebuster: Countering the Growing Threat of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The recent Eager Lion 2024 military exercise in Jordan served as a crucial platform for the U.S. Army to showcase its advanced Dronebuster technology. This innovative system highlights the growing importance of counter-drone measures as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, continue to surge globally.
