Fraud | Part 10 | Yandere All Might x Hero!Reader

(A/N: We're already at ten parts, if things keep this way we might have a series that rivals Break Me Slowly. If this series gets past 40 chapters then we'll know which one I've been enjoying writing more. XD Hope you enjoy and comment to be added to the taglist!)

================================================

When All Might was finished with Shade he left her there shaking and drained. His superior strength meant she didn't stand a chance against his advances, he would always take what he wanted. Her tears and pleas fell on deaf ears when he finally found his release.

He adjusted his clothes and started his daily routine, as if the night prior he hadn't kidnapped an innocent woman and had his way with her. Business as usual.

Part of this routine was keeping up to date with the world outside, ensuring that his daily activities weren't found out and that he could continue to hide in the shadows.

Unfortunately the media was biting him in the ass.

News of Shade's disappearance had begun to spread like wildfire. Apparently the fool had made several social media posts about her involvement with All Might, as well as that nosy pro who had invited her over wondered what happened to her.

He had been a fool.

So far what the police had told the public is that she had been seen leaving her apartment, there were no signs of a struggle and yet she was gone. Probably taken from a back alley. They were searching them now for any clues as to who this mysterious attacker could be.

Hopefully this would all blow over, it always did. He was even more popular than before now, there was no reason his connections would fail him now. No matter what they found, it would never come back to him, right?

His phone rang.

"All Might." His voice was more stern than he would have liked.

"All Might, this is the chief of police, we'd like you to come in for questioning."

Beads of sweat dripped down his neck. "I'm on my way."

===============================================

Shade felt numb all over, but her insides were burning with pain. Images of the man she looked up to most in life violating her over and over. Her body was filled with his cum, leaking out and making her feel disgusted.

With broken bones and the fear of the fastest hero alive in the next room all she could do was stay still. Hopefully he would come to reason and let her go, if he promised to stay far away from her for the rest of her life she probably wouldn't even press charges. She could live with him roaming free if it meant she'd be safe. But the chances of that she knew were slim.

However in the next room as she waited for his inevitable return Shade could hear the television going. A spark of hope shot through her, they were looking for her. People wanted her to be found and already knew she was missing. If All Might had been careless and left any evidence at the scene where he took her, maybe this whole ordeal would be over sooner than she thought.

She could go home.

Just then the door opens and the man of the hour enters, his face dark and grim. She tries to hide it but the faintest of grins comes to her face, he should be sweating bullets right now, knowing all of this would be brought to justice.

"I'm going out. I'll be back shortly. Don't try anything and I'll see about letting you up to clean yourself."

"Okay, I won't- I'll wait right here- but uhm, where are you going can I ask?"

He doesn't look at her as he responds, resolve and determination etched into his features.

"The Symbol of Peace is needed."

Young!Toshinori Yagi x Black!femreader

Summary: All might having his big debut in america and an upcoming hero catches his eye, lucky for him Dave knows the women and introduces them.

Warnings: cursing and suggestive, smut 18+, size kink, dom reader(kinda), unprotected p in v, mommy kink. Slight breeding kink. as always its kinda a self insert💋

A/n: this is me because i love the idea of young all might enjoying himself in America especially loving the black women and myself insert is very very media loved she reminds me of Rihanna and Nicki in the 2000s and 2010s 🙏🏽

America was definitely a big cultural change for All might, the new hero has been in the states for quite a while and had to say it was enjoyable. The food, the music, the city, the people, especially the women.

When it came to the women god were they beautiful, specifically the black women. They were carefree yet had class he saw very few black women in japan, but now he saw them everywhere and he couldn’t complain one bit. The low waist jeans, how their curves filled out everything they wore, their hair braided, loced, pressed or natural danm it was all good.

But a new hero like himself caught his eye. She went by Minerva her qurik Labyrinth. It was powerful and quite unique, its allowed her to make illusions and create beings as well as objects from crystal balls. She could hallucinate people with them aswell, little other things wither her quirk she could also create rabbit holes with my quirk aka teleport, she had her own type of worlds Labrinths/mazes, also able to use telekinesis to an extent. She was astonishing, and very liked my the media he saw her on lots of buildings and in ads.

He saw her everywhere, on magazine fronts, in the news. She was a sight for eyes the media’s favorite, how she posed in her work the outfits she wore. She knew how to please the paparazzi she smile wide for them, either blowing them a kiss or waving.

Now she stood a few tables away at a convention cameras still on her, she wore a denim two peace, mini skirt with a halter vest a white bottom up under it that hung above her belly button that was priced. She wore lether white platform heels, gold jewelry finishing up the look. Her hair was thick and long and in its natural state, her two toned lips glossy. All might couldn’t remove his yes from her she filled everything out so perfectly her stomach slightly coming over her skirt here thighs plush and crossed over as she stood talking to a friend, he noticed a birth mark on the back of her thigh it the opposite of her complexion. His eyes scanned her takings in the sights before him moving little as people walked by never wanting to looks away.

“You know I could introduce you to her.” Dave said snaping Toshinori out of thought.

He looked over at his friend taking his eyes off of you for the first time, “Could you please?” He said pleading in a way making Dave laugh.

“Common.” Dave spoke standing up grabbing his drink. The two men stood up making there way over to her the closer they got all might couldn’t help but feel excited he had a little school girl crush on this woman so of course he was excited.

“Yo N/N !” Dave spoke out, Might watched as she turned around the twos hands meeting in a small hand shake.

“Hi Davy, whats good!” She said smiling at the man her voice was a little deeper compared to alot of girls but not in a manly matter but more mature.

“I just wanted to introduce you to my friend.” He spoke turning to Tosh.

“Oh?” She smiled her head tilting and she looked at him up and down.

“Im Toshinori Yagi, pleasure meeting you miss Minerva.” He spoke bowing quickly then sticking his hand out for you to shake.

She laughed lightly “Call me Y/n babe, but is nice meeting you too Toshinori. Hows your time been in the states?”

He smiled, they continued the conversation for a while Dave leaving them be soon enough. They shared drinks keeping the conversation casual and talk about the new hero life.

“You know ive been planning on going to japan for hero work test the waters there you know?” She said as she leaned on the bar looking at the blonde.

“Really? Wow I think you would enjoy it there to be honest.” He said.

“You could show me around..get me used to things hm?” she said her tone flirty.

Toshinori could feel his cheeks heat up “I- I could do that..” he spoke straightening his posture.

She laughed amused at the reaction “common baby you cant be that easily flustered, you’re a debuting hero in America got to have girls all over you?” She said pushing in his arm a bit. He laughed at her remark she was right but he wanted some else all over him, her nails tearing at his back and shoulders as she laid under him calling out his name, he shook his head getting rid of the dirty thought that lingered focusing himself back on her.

That night Toshinori found himself actually falling for her, he always found himself thinking about her the way he made her laugh and smile even at the stupidest things, how she actually wanted to get to know him. How her body always faced him when she talked to him keeping eye contact. He spent two months in America and found himself head over heels in such a short amount of time. The media took advantage of this friendship as pictures of them flooded around. But, soon enough he found his trip coming to an end and having to head back to Japan, but not without saying goodbye right?

He remembers her giving him her address but he never got the chance. “Hey I got to make a stop before we leave.” Toshinori spoke to his manager.

So the stop was made just him nobody else. His took a breath collecting himself before he knocked. He could hear footsteps getting closer and locks being undone. The door opened revealing her, she looked up at him about to speak only for him to cut her off.

“I know its late, but Im supposed to leave for Japan tonight.” He said not totally finishing his sentence, he watched the woman lean on the door her arms crossed an amused smile on her face.

“Oh? Then what brings you here Tosh?” She asked.

He took a breath “I didn’t want to leave without seeing you again.”

She pushed herself of the door way “Here come in.” She said moving letting the man enter her home closing the door behind them.

“When is your flight?” Her voice quiet.

“In a few hours..” he said, he wasn’t just going to leave he had come all this way.

“Why did you really come here Toshinori..?” Her eyes looking up at him as she fell against the door facing him.

He felt his words get caught in his throat, quickly he cleared it “I wanted to see you, I couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye.” His eyes wondered on her she wore a silk set a dress and robe.

“I do have to admit I hate to watch you leave, shit i don’t even know when i’ll get to see you again..” she spoke pushing of the door walking over to the couch.

He slowly followed taking a seat next to her. Her eyes connecting with his. “You could always visit, but i feel the same Im so thankful i got to meet you. You’ve been my favorite part of America.” He said his body facing hers.

Her hands grabbed his, hers so small compared to his, her skin was so soft. “You know Tosh I couldn’t just let you leave with a goodbye hm?” She said her words in a tone of want as she sat on her knees the silk night gown rudding up her thighs.

“What are you suggesting..” he knew what she was suggesting.

He watched her carefully, she guided his hand to her face. He took the sign bring her in close to him, kissing her, her other hand falling on his lap keeping her balance. The kiss was soft them pulling a was a few times only for them to connect continuously kissing, the heat between then getting hotter as they made out.

He grabbed her pulling hie on his lap, his arms wrapping around her torso pulling her closer their bodies pressed together. The sound of her soft moans as they kissed her hips adjusting causing friction between them. Her hands ran through his hair the blonde groaning as she shifted her weight on him her fingers slightly pulling his hair. His hands placed on her hips making their way under the fabric causing it to ride up as he squeezed the flesh.

“God..” she groaned her breath heavy.

He pulled away he face fell into his shoulder their breath heavy, his hands moving to her hips holdings her in a hug again making sure her body never left his. Toshinori’s mind was foggy, “How much time you got?” He heard her say her voice muffled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders like a hug keeping him as close as he did her.

“Thats dosnt matter I’ll get a flight for Monday night.” He said, his lips kissing her neck softly.

“Your gonna spend all weekend in the states?” She said lifting her head looking at him.

“With you, if thats all right?”

“Of course! I wouldn’t mind the company, would say Id take you on a proper date but, i dint need the cameras in our face.” She spoke leaning in kissing him once more through a smile.

He laughed, kissing her once more. “No one has to know..” she spoke.

She was right nobody did, plus it would keep them both out of danger. A secret just form them.

“Hey, aren’t i the one that’s supposed to take you on a date?” He pulled away.

She laughed as the man “Cook me dinner, call it a date.”

“Works for me.” He kissed her again picking her up a laugh erupting from her, she painted towards her room as he made his way there.

He worked with her body in such a gentle manner not wanting to hurt her, for the fact he was twice her size. Y/n laid back watching him take his shirt of the fabric coming over his head. She watched as he took his shoes soon falling in top of her, hes hands wandering her body. Soon slipping the dress over her head.

Pulling away from her lips kissing down her body taking in all of her, the soft whines that left her life motivating him to keep going. He stoped at the top of her panty line looking up at her as she sat up on her elbows. “Can I please take them off?” He asked his tone innocent.

“Yes you may.” She said a smile displayed on her face.

His large hands tapping her to lift herself up a little as he pulled them off throwing them somewhere on the floor. He teased her kissing her inner thighs leaving her sex untouched, he moved her legs over his shoulder them resting on his back she could feel his muscles shift as he moved.

“Fuck.. Tosh stop teasing!” He voice reached his ears the irritation making him laugh lightly earning a light smack on the head.

He looked up his eyes heavy “tell me what you want..” he said slightly hesitant.

“Your not good at this dominant thing are you?”

“I-I am!”

“Wheres your confidence baby? Common,” she head her voice seductive as she reached down touching his face making him crumble. “Go on Tosh be a good boy and eat me, eat me like you wont see me again.”

She said her hand leaving his face going down to her cunt rubbing small circles on her clit, she watched as his eyes watched her play with herself, the woman’s fingers moving in and out of her her slick coating her fingers. His mouth agape slightly, “wanna taste?”

He nodded soon the taste of her on his tongue as she stuck her finger in his mouth, he suckled on her fingers cleaning them before she moved them out. “Go on,” she said, with that he wrapped his arms around her thighs pulling her closer in. The first few taste were hesitant finding the right spots, him losing control starting to practically make-out with her cunt.

Tightening his grips holding her down so she didn’t move away. Her sweet moans being music to his ears motivating him to continue. He let out a groan feeling her fingers pull on his hair her nails scraching his scalp lightly. He sat up a little un wraping his arm bringing his hand down, sliding a finger in as he sucked on her clit.

The movement on his two fingers causing her to throw her head back in to the bad letting out breathy curses, the lewd sounds of her slick and his saliva mixing as he toyed with her more. Her legs shaking slightly soon feelings her thighs tighten around his head.

“Common sweetheart, cum for me..” he spoke his tone heavy.

Her body shook slightly as she came over her high, her hands pulling on the blondes hair. He finished cleaning her cunt clean looking up his mouth covered in her slick.

He sat up coming up placing a soft kiss on her lips, her hands holding the side of his face pulling him in more. “Mmm you did so good baby, such a good job.” She praised, Toshinori’s eyes clouded and he mumbled out something.

“Hm? Common use your words, so pussy drunk huh…” her voice teased and he nodded in her hands.

She pushed him up flipping him over, “let me treat you Toshi.” Her hands pushing him down flat on his back. His hands found their way to her hips grabbing them softly. Undoing his pants she pulled the slightly Tosh getting the memo lifting his hips kicking them of. He sat up leaning on his hands as he watched her align herself with him, his head fell back feeling her walls clamp down on him as she lowered down on his cock. Looking back but moaning at the sight of her swallowing him whole.

Y/n letting out soft moans and she let herself adjust to his size, her nails digging into his shoulders. He pulled her in a hugging position his face buried in her shoulder as she rode him the pace slow and first. “Let me see your face..” she whispered, he pulled his head up looking as her his brows frowned trying to hold in his noises.

“I wanna hear you, let me hear you.” She spoke he hips moving slightly faster now.

He did as that they were quite moans, as she moved her hips. Lifting herself up and doing back down every time making him break In every way possible. “Fuck mo-.” He cut himself off tightening his grip on her hips and she moved him laying flat on his back now.

“What was that baby, hm..” she said slowly her pace down painfully, “common tell me what you want.” She teased moving back and forth.

“Please, please mommy im so close.” He begged.

“Is mommys pussy good?” She asked teasing him.

He grounded his knees coming up, Y/n leaning on his legs moving faster again, “so good, so good… please dont stop,” he begged he sat up wrapping his arms around her again. She kissed and sucked on his neck pushing him closer.

She felt him shift pulling her down with him, skin to skin her boobs pressed up against him, his hips meeting with hers as he fucked himself with her, the sound of skin slapping and moaning filling the apartment. “Oh fuck tosh, common baby dont stop.”

He could feel her walls tightening around him that pushing his limt, “common fill me up, stuff me full.” Her lewd comment was his breaking point, his grip tightened painfully around her waist as she rode out his high. His thick cum fulling her up erupting more as she finished herself on him milking him. The fullness making her moan out her high reaching again, tosh in her shoulder begging her to cum. Her body shifting as she reached her high.

They just laid there him still in her, cum running down her thighs. Their heavy breaths in sync, Y/n lifting her head off his shoulder, leaning down kissing him her arms wrapped around his neck. “You did so good, so fucking good.” She praised the man.

He kissed her softly thanking her, he pulled her up his cock falling out of her the feeling of cum hitting his stomach as she dripped on him. His lips met hers once more before she crawled over him stepping of the bed. He watched as his seed ran down her leg, letting out a pleased groan he sat up ready to follow her.

“Stay.” He voice stern.

He signed “I wanna help you clean up, please let me help.” He finished putting his hands together.

“Let me pee first.” She said walking into her bathroom as she heard a small laugh from him. He stood up following her, “What are you pee shy?”

She glared at him from the toilet, “no I am not.” She answered simply her face looking away from him. He let her finish soon after entering the bathroom with her.

He turned her around lifting her up on the counter. “What are you doing, on my god.” She laughed.

“Cleaning you up.” He spoke grabbing a washcloth of the shelf. Wetting it with warm water he ran it down her leg his touch delicate. Cleaning the cum off her legs, rinsing the cloth off then cleaning himself.

She watched him closthing her legs sitting on the counter bare. “Mommy huh? You know now you ow me a mothers day gift.” She teased. He looked up after putting his brefs on. Her panties in his hand, “W..What?” His laugh nervous.

“You called me mommy Toshinori.” She said, taking the underwear from him.

Embarrassment fell over his face, his cheeks bright red. “Oh god.” He groaned his hands coming up covering his face.

The woman let out a laugh as she pulled up her underwear. “Oh baby doll be all nervous.” She spoke looking up at him her hands grabbing his pulling them down, she brought them to her boobs having him cup them. His head falling on her shoulder his back bending uncomfortably, she felt him fondling them a little. “You did just fill me up like a cream puff sooo…” she teased. He let out a laugh pulling away.

“You are filthy. Oh my gosh.” He said his face still bright red, a shit eaten girl laid on the women’s face.

“Says the one who called me mommy!”

“Stop, Ugh!” He turned around facing away from him.

He felt her nails graze up his back, her snaking her arms around him hugging him. “Its okay gorgeous I don’t mind.” She said kissing the small scratch marks on his back.

“Gorgeous?” He asked.

“Dont like it? I think it suits you.” She said watching him turn around.

“I mean, everything about you is gorgeous. I might not know you fully but, I would love to. Considering you just had you dick in me.” She said.

His head tilted “I would hope so, but really i think your the gorgeous one. Look at you Y/n, everything. Your humor, the way you carry yourself so confidently, and god I love your hair, i love the birth mark under your boob, i love how you welcomed me so cautiously, but so openly.” He finished.

“God, that made me wet.” She joked. Catching him off guard.

“You’re horrible.” He laughed holding her face pulling her in kissing her.

Summary: Ichijiku loves going to the beach and listening to the stories the seagulls tell her, but one evening she sees a stranger being bullied and stands up against his offenders. One spontaneous game of tag, a trip to get ice cream, and some friendly banter later they exchange numbers to keep in touch. As they spend more time together, what sort of secrets will Toshinori and Ichijiku reveal to each other?

Chapter 1: Best of Both Worlds

Ichijiku (Tigress)

Nothing beats the salty brine in the air or the warm crunch of sand underfoot from an evening on the beach. The moon paints a story as it reflects off the waves and the seagulls carry on oral tradition to pass the story along their route. Closing my eyes and listening to the hiss of water trickling into the dry sand helps me relax all my muscles and sigh out today's frustrations.

But there's a sound that disrupts the auditory symphony around me.

"Ew, gross! What the hell are you?" A young voice taunts.

"I'm sorry. I can leave." A tired voice responds.

"You better. You're ruining the scenic view of the beach!"

Normally, I'm not one to get into other peoples' conversations, but after listening to Grandma all day and wondering what this stranger might be going through that he can't even get a break at the beach makes me get up and head towards the only other group of people here.

"Your attitude is ruining the blissful silence." I sass back as I get within hearing range.

There are two blondes, a brunette, and a ginger in my view. All male. You're trying to get killed, aren't you, Ichijiku? No one deserves to be treated less than human. No matter what they look like!

One of the blondes seems to be the victim, because the other three are all wearing smirks and surrounding him. Said victim is tall with a decrepit face and he looks horrified that I've shown up. I can only feel a little tug in my squishy heart for him. He looks a little thin and worse for wear, but that's no reason to call someone ugly or disgusting!

"What are you gonna do about it, sweetheart?" The ginger stands a foot taller than me and seems to think that means I'll cower under him as he towers above me. Not a chance.

"I'm simply here to remind you that this beach is a public space to everyone, not just your massive ego." I purr sweetly, eyes glinting fiercely in the moonlight.

He doesn't appear visibly scared of me - and who would? - but he does shift his weight so he isn't looming over me as much. "Yeah? Well this guy could hardly be considered a person. Have you gotten a good look at him?"

"He's as much human as you and I." I say simply. "Just because you don't like the looks of him doesn't mean anything's wrong with him."

He scoffs, nods, and his two buddies take both of his sides, closing me in.

"Hey, leave her alone." The thin man reaches out, his voice sounding vaguely familiar in his determination and warning tones.

But he really needn't worry.

"Lay off, Pops. We'll be gentle with her." The brunette licks his lips suggestively.

And that's about all he does, because in the next moment I yawn nice and loud. I take a few steps back as all three of them simultaneously flop forward, unconscious and asleep. I step around them and over to the taller man. Taller even than the three goons picking on him. They clearly didn't have any sense of self-preservation.

"Are you okay?" I ask him, tilting my head a bit to look up at him.

"Well, I was going to ask you the same thing, but it appears you had yourself handled." He chuckles, finally meeting my eyes. "I apologize for causing a disturbance."

"I'm not sure why you're apologizing. You didn't do anything." I snort, before looking at the sleeping group of misfits on the ground. I nod towards my stuff further down the beach. "C'mon. Walk with me. You seem like you could use a buddy. I'm Ichijiku."

"Toshinori."

I start the trek towards my beach towel and adventure bag.

"You didn't have to put yourself in danger for my sake, you know." Toshinori says softly.

"Yeah? Tell that to every pro hero who's ever rescued someone." I tease, pausing for a moment a few feet away from my towel to sit in the sand and sift through a little collection of shells. I just need one more. A purple one.

"I guess you've got me there." There's a smirk in his tone and then I feel him shift until he's sitting beside me. "But you could have gotten seriously hurt, and I can take care of myself."

"Of that, I have no doubt." I say for his credit as I toss a blue shell towards the rippling waves. "But no one should be allowed to say such awful things. As someone who grew up in a household like that...sometimes the best advocate is someone who's outside the situation. Stranger or not."

The air is quiet for a time as we both just appreciate the others' presence. I keep tossing out shells until there's none left. Dang. No luck today. I pull my knees up to my chest and just watch the water for some time.

"So, what brought you out to the beach on this fine evening?" I finally ask.

"Mm?" He turns to look at me and I can see reality sinking back into his gaze. "Oh. I just wanted some time to clear my head. I..." He opens his mouth, then closes it. "Nevermind. It's nothing. Suffice it to say that I've been having to come to terms with some distressing news."

"Understandable." I hum softly. "I'm no stranger to distressing news. Is it something you want to talk about or that you need a distraction from?"

"Definitely a distraction." He sighs.

An idea starts forming in my mind. Are you an idiot? He's a stranger! You're taking everything he says at face value. There's no harm in helping him feel better after those people were being so cruel to him. He deserves a break. Indeed. But keep your guard up, just in case. He is still a stranger. I know.

"Well, in that case..." I tap his arm and then jump up to bolt down the beach side. "Tag! You're it!"

I make it maybe thirty feet before I feel a hand tap my shoulder.

"You're it!"

I swat at him again and miss with a little squeal as I slip in the sand. I manage to catch myself before I fall completely and dart right back after him.

"You tall people and your long legs!" I call at his back as I try to pace myself without inducing an asthma attack.

It at least gets a laugh from him. Our impromptu game doesn't last long, but soon we're both panting and giggling in the sand. I'm wheezing, but I pull my inhaler from my bag and give it a few good sprays to manage my mucus-filled airways.

"Oh, hey, sorry. If I'd known you had asthma–"

"You better not say you'd have taken it easy on me, because I'd have punched you straight in the jaw." I laugh, leaning back on my elbows in the sand. "Just because I've got a health condition doesn't make me helpless. It just means I have to find a different way to do the things I enjoy."

He gives me an odd look, his eyes sparkling a bit. I find I enjoy it, as it doesn't look as sad as the expression he wore before our little game.

"So, I've told you about why I was out here...why are you out on the beach alone this evening? You know, aside from being here so you can play tag with strangers." He smiles and I move a little closer to him.

The smile he gets in response doesn't fully reach my eyes. I look into the sand and heave a little sigh.

"I sort of hinted earlier that I grew up in a critical household. Specifically, my grandma was the culprit of that dynamic." I lay all the way back in the sand to look at the stars so I don't feel as lame or pathetic admitting all of this. "You could say that she has to have something to be upset about because nothing ever pleases her. And ever since I was born, I've been the scapegoat for most of that. She called me today to remind me of all my shortcomings, so I needed someplace to relax and clear my head."

Silence stretches between us and the stars. I'm grateful for the comfort I receive from the twinkling lights above me. It's like they're winking at me, telling me that everything is going to be okay. Or like their eyes are glassy with emotions, showing how much they empathize with you. I wonder what tales the stars have of their own. I often wonder too...

"I'm sorry to hear that. I've only known you for the better part of this evening, but based on my experience, it doesn't take long with someone like you to recognize a compassionate heart." Toshinori turns his head to look at me, and I turn to meet his gaze.

"I appreciate that. I've been working on trying to convince myself of that." I chuckle, reaching across the sand to squeeze his hand. I hope that wasn't taken as too intimate of a gesture. I feel like I'm on a date, and all I've done is run around with him and talked. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so close so quickly. You needed a listening ear, and there's nothing wrong with that. But you are wise to be wary of your emotions.

"Well...take it from an outside party," He winks. "You're more than what you give yourself credit for."

My rumbling tummy promptly ruins the mood.

"Sorry." I flush and sit up. I start rummaging through my adventure bag for a granola bar, but find that I failed to pack anything. "Ugh. Squirrel brain..." I mutter.

"You must be hungry. What have you eaten today? Would you like to grab a bite for dinner? Or do you just need a snack?" Toshinori offers. "It's the least I can do for helping me out back there."

"Just a snack should be fine." I say quickly, not wanting to admit that it will probably be the only thing I've eaten all day. "But you don't have to do that. It really was nothing."

"I insist. Besides, it's not safe for you to be out alone so late. I'm sure you're more than capable, but allow me an act of chivalry." He grins.

I can't help but laugh at that. He's not so bad. I could get used to him. I wonder if I can get his number so we can stay friends. "You're probably right about that. If All Might has to save me one more time, he might start charging me a fee."

There's a knowing smile on his face coupled with his shock that makes me giggle. I figured he might find that amusing!

"All Might? Now, this I've got to hear. What did you do to warrant him saving you? More trouble like tonight?"

"Noooo! The other two times weren't my fault!" I pout up at him. "I actually instigated neither of those situations!"

"Why do I find that hard to believe?"

"Listen, I'm not above pretending to need saving so All Might will come here again so he can prove it to you!" I say in a stern tone, but I'm laughing too much to be taken seriously. "I was a victim of circumstance!"

"What sort of circumstances then?" He asks with a shake of his head as he helps me grab my towel and my bag.

"The first time was in a skating rink. A villain with an ice quirk was messing with the rink as everyone was trying to get off of it. I, being the graceful person I am, kept slipping and ended up trapped in said ice." I snort, leaving out parts of the story.

"Is that so?" He laughs, and I can't look at him because the look on his face makes me feel like he might be able to catch me lying if I stare for too long.

He doesn't need to know that I kept trying to help the other people in the rink. He might think I was stupid for not saving myself...or maybe after tonight it wouldn't be that surprising. Gah! I don't know how to interact with people! Relax. Just keep telling the story.

"Yeah, and All Might showed up shortly after. He managed to help save me from the villain and get him tied up. You can imagine...I was freezing! I didn't even get to thank him properly." I shake my head. "I know that he doesn't save people for all the popularity and stuff, but I still wanted to show him my gratitude. Thankfully, a second villain a few weeks after that decided to snatch me up as a hostage. Since All Might rescued me then, I was able to share my gratitude." I kick a rock out of my path.

"I'm sure he knows you're grateful. He's a busy guy, ya know? He understands."

"Oh, I know. I get that he's a big hero and symbol that everyone takes for granted, but I wanted him to know that I wasn't grateful just because he's a hero. I was thankful because he's heroic, and yes, there's a difference." I stick my tongue out at him.

"The world could use more people with that ideology." Toshinori sighs, looking ahead of us. "Hey, there's an ice cream stand ahead. Want to get some ice cream in remembrance of your skating rink incident?"

"Oooo, yes!" I agree, already picking up my pace. "I'm so ready. I've been craving popsicles lately."

"You don't come to an ice cream stand to get popsicles." He crinkles his nose.

"Oh yeah? And who's gonna stop me?" I giggle, already looking over the menu and deciding on an orange popsicle.

"Listen, with as many times as you've had to be saved, ice cream might be what All Might asks for as payment." Toshinori laughs, placing his order and then stepping aside.

"If ice cream is the only payment the Symbol of Peace wants for saving thousands upon thousands of people...I can't really say much. Because I'd probably do the same. Ice cream is the best." I grin, putting in my order and then turning my bag around so I can start pulling out my wallet.

"It's together." I hear Toshinori say, and then a receipt starts printing out that he takes.

I stand with my mouth agape.

"You sneaky little weasel! I was gonna pay for it! You weren't supposed to do that!"

"Oh yeah? And who's gonna stop me?" He smirks.

I make my most unamused face at him before I can't help cracking a smile. I shake my head.

"All I'm saying is if All Might takes your ice cream, it'll be poetic justice."

"Consider the decision justified, then." He says, taking a bite of his ice cream.

I just roll my eyes and take the popsicle. For the next few moments, we're quiet as we indulge in our sweet treats. I follow him as he leads me down the street, pointing out a few places he frequents.

"You've been to that karaoke bar? I've been there a couple of times with my friends. It's pretty nice! And the snacks are amazing." I comment whenever he points out Shigouraiki Karaoke Bar.

"I was about to say, the snacks are the best part. I'm usually by myself, though." He admits, taking another bite from his Mighty Mix ice cream.

"Well, we'll have to change that. Give me your number and I'll invite you some time. Karaoke's no fun by yourself!" I pull out my phone. When he pulls his out too, I tap the top of my phone against his. "There. Don't mind the weird picture."

Toshinori laughs. It's beginning to feel familiar and warm to make up for the cold popsicle.

"What's with the sassy look? You have a blue gift bow on the top of your head, did someone give you a bad gift?" He teases.

"You had to be there to understand." I giggle, about halfway done with my popsicle now. I find myself slowing down because I don't want to stop talking with him. "My friend Hanayuki was taking pictures of me with the bow on my head, and I thought she was done taking them. So I sent her a sassy look and she betrayed me."

"I'm glad she did. The sass suits you." A dribble of ice cream runs down his fingers and he looks at me. "Mind grabbing my napkin?"

"I gotcha." I take the napkin and dab one hand so he can get the other. "My house is only a few more blocks past this shopping district. And then you'll be free of me."

"The world will soon seem duller, then." The sorrow in his tone sounds genuine. "Do you think we could meet up again, sometime soon?"

"Of course! I might even manage to garner a presence from All Might." I wink.

"I look forward to it."

As we make the final trek to my house, I toss my popsicle stick into the nearest trash receptacle. This shouldn't feel like a date when I've only just met him. But he's so easy to talk to. I grab my keys from my bag before turning to him.

"Thank you for walking me home, Toshinori, I appreciate it."

"It's not a problem. Thank you for the company, Ichijiku." He grins as he looks down at me. "I look forward to seeing you again. This was...certainly the best time I've had hanging out with someone in a while."

"Likewise." I say as I crinkle my nose playfully. "Stay safe tonight."

"I'll be sure to call you if I need saving."

"You'd better!"

. . . . .

Toshinori ends up needing to be saved rather frequently. He calls to invite me to his house, where he needs saving from loneliness. He calls to invite me to the karaoke bar, where he needs saving from discordant music notes. He calls to invite me to dinner, where he needs saving from an empty stomach.

At long last, he calls to invite me to be his girlfriend, where he needs saving from a life without me.

"Aww, Toshi-kun, you could have just asked over dinner." I laugh into the receiver while watering plants.

"I know, but...there were people around and I wasn't sure. I was a little scared, to be honest." I can hear the shyness in his voice.

"Well, I'm glad you asked me at all." I admit, moving on into the warmer fuzzier feelings of being his girlfriend. He makes me so happy. "Now you get to help me go through all of the pet names I've been going over in my head. How does schnookums sound?"

"Like a disease."

"Agreed. I hate it. Next one. How are we feeling about darling?"

"It's not bad. I don't know that it fits me."

"Perhaps I'll reserve it for when I'm feeling fanciful. What are your thoughts on honey bunches of oats?"

"Like the cereal? I already feel fragile. I don't want to feel old too." He chuckles.

"That's fair." I reach down to pet my cat as I think up another. "Do you have any objections to lover boy?"

"Mm, it has potential."

"My thoughts exactly, lover boy." I blow a kiss over the receiver. "The others will have to wait, though, because it's just occurred to me that I'm all out of green yarn. And that, my dear, simply will not do."

"My dear has a nice ring to it." He says. "But I'll let you go then. Be safe. Don't talk to strangers."

"Now, Toshinori, when have I ever spoken to strangers?" I ask, grabbing my bag and keys and heading out the door.

"I happen to recall this one night on the beach..."

"Oh dear..."

"And you ran into this tall, decrepit man getting bullied by three strangers..."

"Will you never let me live it down, beloved?"

"Oh! I like that one."

"Yeah, me too." I smile. "But bye-bye, foreels this time. I have to drive."

"Okay, stay safe."

"I will."

For the next thirty minutes, I follow up on my promise. I drive safe, make it to the hobby store safely, and start perusing the yarn section with caution. I manage to grab maybe three skeins of yarn before the shelves rattle dangerously. I notice the other shelves starting to collapse and rush to the end of the aisle to get out of the way, but I don't completely make it.

Pain ripples through my lower back and legs as the shelf catches my back end. Thankfully, my top half is unmarred and able to look around. Lo and behold, a villain starts walking from the back of the store with a gleaming grin on his face. Are you kidding me? A third time?! You'd think they had a radar for when to ruin my day.

"All of you were unsuspecting, right? No one thought the clerk up front could be a villain. That's the problem with society. Everyone thinks evil has the same face!" He roars, kicking another shelf over. It dominoes into the others across from me as I cover my head.

Screams cut across the store as I grit my teeth and try to move once the rumbling fades. Come on, gotta get out! Other people could get hurt! I manage to wiggle a bit, but another wave of searing heat grips my calf, and I know I shouldn't move anymore.

A hand grips my chin tightly as the villain makes me look up at him. I glare at him with all the tiger in my body.

"How does it feel knowing no one will save you?" He whispers to me.

"How does it feel knowing no one will listen to you?" I growl back.

"How does it feel knowing I am here!" A thunderous clap resounds through the store as All Might stomps his foot on the ground.

I don't even blink before a punch sends the villain hurdling back away from me. Relief floods my bones so quickly I feel tears prickling in my eyes. A cacophony of thoughts swirl in my head while the fight ensues. Everything from cheering him on to win the fight to jokingly wondering if I can get him to meet Toshinori and wondering if he'll want ice cream as payment for his services. My brain isn't fully there.

But All Might is fully there, and that's quite literally the only thing keeping me alive.

Once the sound of police sirens accompanies the lack of fighting, I watch All Might hand off the villain to the police. A rescue team makes eye contact with me and one of the men voices my predicament.

"Someone's trapped under that shelf!" He gapes.

"You guys help the others and point out anyone else who needs my help. I'll start with helping this young woman." All Might responds, and in another moment, I'm once again face-to-face with the Symbol of Peace. "I've been seeing you around a lot, young lady." He grunts as he starts lifting both yarn shelves to keep one from collapsing into the other on top of me.

His eyes glisten with mischief as he looks down on me. I can see the blue in his eyes. That blue looks so familiar... I think, before I catch his expression and I understand. Toshinori...

"You're..." I whimper as I begin dragging myself free. "...going to have to start charging me an ice cream fee...with how often you have to save me."

Once I'm free of the shelves, All Might sets them down and turns back to me. His eyes give him away. That soft expression and even his iconic smile tilts up in a way now so familiar to me. He cradles me delicately, perhaps a bit intimately given the secret we both know I've uncovered, before he sets me down in an ambulance outside.

"You..." He opens his mouth and pauses, shaking his head. "I know you must think..." Another pause. "I want to explain..." His face looks so worried and awkward and scared, before he turns as a police officer calls for help from inside the store. His signature smile returns. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I have to go help them." And then he disappears.

I'm crying by the time the EMT reaches me.

Once it's all said and done, my minor wounds are dressed and I'm advised to take it easy on my leg.

"If you have a friend who can take you home now, I'd advise giving them a call. Otherwise, we'll have to find someone to take you home, and it may be a while." The man informs me, but I don't fully hear him.

The world around me swims by in a murky grey as I try to make sense of everything that's just transpired. It's not that any of it is bad, it's just that a lot has happened. A few more tears trickle down my cheeks as I just nod and pull out my phone. It sustained minimal damage thanks to my screen protector and padded buttcheeks.

I scroll to Toshinori and feel my heart ache. He's the only one I want to take me home but...

"I can take it from here." All Might's voice interrupts.

The EMT looks up at him like he's just won the lottery. I look up at him like I'm seeing a ghost.

"O-Of course! Sh-She needs..."

"To get home, so I heard. I don't mind giving the wounded woman a lift!" He says with a smile, before offering his hand. "Ma'am, if you can give me your address, I can get you there safely."

I utter the proper address before he tucks me in his chest again and we're flying. The heights make my tummy swim with butterflies. I don't say anything as the world passes by us.

"I'm sorry again, Ichichan, that I didn't tell you." He says, his voice just a bit louder to make himself heard over the wind. "I can understand if you're upset."

"I-It's not that." I admit, closing my eyes as I try to decipher how I'm feeling. "It's just a lot to process. But it also worries me."

"What do you mean?"

"When you're..." I want to say Toshinori, but it doesn't feel right, because I know he's the same no matter his form. So I use a different nickname. "When you're Smol Might...I already worry that I don't deserve you. You're so kind and sweet, and more than I deserve, really. But...knowing that you're also All Might...it makes me feel even less deserving. You've helped a lot of people and done so much good. I don't really see how you could consider me worth a second glance in either scenario."

All is quiet until we reach my house. Toshinori has to give the door an extra shove since my bag was lost under the shelves in the hobby store, and then we make it inside where he sets me down. Steam starts hissing around him until he exhales and coughs, a splash of blood decorating his hand. He wipes it off on his costume, now three times too big.

He kneels by the couch and cups my face, eyes shining their perfect blue.

"You deserve so much more than me." He breathes, thumb rubbing over my skin. I hold his hand there, enjoying the intimacy. "Even with all I've done as a Symbol, you deserve more. And I mean that."

My little frame rattles as I hug his arm.

"You...You won't leave me?"

"No, Ichichan," He promises, leaning in and making my lips tingle with our first, perfect kiss. "I am here."

Naohana's Appearance

i realized today that i have dedicated very little, if ANY, description of my OC Naohana's physical appearance in Beyond the Fracture (my ABO!VillainAU!AllMight/OC fic)

that'll change in the next chapter (which will be posted later this weekend)...because as i was writing it i realized i had never actually described her in the story LMAOOOO

the closest face-claim i can come up with is the character Frill from Oshi no Ko, pictured here:

bright green eyes, thick black hair, a few moles and delicate features sum up Naohana nicely...Frill's really intense eyes are similar to what i picture for Naohana

anyway, thanks for reading, and you can read Beyond the Fracture here (click the pic):

Summary: Naohana lives a simple, ordinary life. She’s just an average beta with an average quirk. That’s all she is, and that’s all she’ll ever be. Too bad for her, the most feared villain in the world believes she is something else entirely. When a chance encounter ignites both smoldering obsession and Naohana's dormant omega instincts, All Might spirits her away to his underworld domain, intent on claiming her as his mate. Naohana feels inexorably drawn to the powerful alpha, but adjusting to her unprecedented awakening isn't easy, and she's running out of time to embrace (or reject) her new life. But what kind of “life” could it be if you ignore the call of destiny? All Might is determined she’ll never find out. [Villain!Alpha!All Might x OC]

[peachiebeann]

Snippet for an upcoming fic.. 👀

~~~~

Hei stood took a few steps back as the massive villain approached her. Her hands were up in a fighting stance, but one could tell by the look on her face, she was petrified. "Who are you?!" She asked.

Smite stopped in front of her, crouching to one knee (although he was still WAY bigger and taller than she was) and gently brushing his knuckles against her cheeks. "I've come to save you, Angel..." He spoke.

His mask obviously had a voice changer of some sort, his voice coming out much deeper than normal.

"S-save me..?" Hei asked softly, her hands now clutching at the collar of her dress

Fraud | Part 7 | Yandere All Might x Hero!Reader

(A/N: Now we'll get to see more of how All Might is a yandere specifically to Reader which I think will be a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy and comment to be added to the taglist!)

WARNINGS: implied noncon, dubcon, manipulation, domestic abuse, yandere themes, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, stockholm syndrome, graphic depictions of violence, mind breaking, misogyny, power imbalance, age difference, cheating, unprotected sex, etc.

==============================================

"Phone call for you, All Might."

He sighed, always someone had to call right as he was leaving. In this instance he was supposed to go out on patrol with Shade, in the month it had been since she settled in the two of them had very little contact due to his busy schedule.

"Fine, send it through." Toshinori sits down, sighing as he picks up the phone. "All Might."

"It's me." The feminine voice one he had grown accustomed to in the past month. Their visits had become more and more frequent since the nearness of Shade mixed with him giving her space had been driving him crazy.

"Ah, next weekend, correct? I'm sure I can get away, give us a few hours at least if you can blow off the small dick wonder."

"That's not it, although next weekend works. I'm pregnant."

All Might wasn't shocked, he refused to use protection, and didn't much care if the woman he was with used it or not. Hidden in the shadows were many children he had fathered during his reign as top hero.

"I see. What do you intend to do about it?"

"I don't know, a hefty amount of child support would be ideal."

He scoffs. "You're really going to do this to me?"

"I'm not saying I am, I just want to hear your plan. This could ruin my current living situation you know."

"Not unless you're smart. Sleep with lover boy, and then tell him the child's his. The fool hasn't caught on where you spend your time or why you're so stretched out, he won't be stupid."

"Oh you're bad, letting another man raise your child?"

"The swine deserves it."

"Now what about us? Are you wanting to stop everything to avoid getting caught?"

"Of course not. Getting saddled with a baby and then your girl leaves you with it to ride another man's cock is something I quite enjoy thinking about."

"What about your little project there? The one this whole thing is about. Going to stop when you get with her?"

"Depends on how she plays her cards."

"Oh? Am I allowed to know?"

His gaze suddenly catches to Shade outside on the ground below, chatting up another pro. He had come to learn some of her body language to know she was flirting, and that whoever this person was enjoyed the advances.

"All Might? Are you still there?"

"I've got to go. Saturday, nine, wear something that I can rip off." He hangs up suddenly, quickly exiting his office and down to the scene below.

================================================

Shade had never been much of a flirt but the way this pro talked to her just set her mind instantly at ease. He was nice and sweet, making her forget about Hunter and that woman for a little while. Besides, why shouldn't she be allowed to take her life back? Hunter was happily with the woman he had cheated on her with so why shouldn't she get some kind of revenge?

She was sexy and smart, even if it didn't go anywhere why not just start hooking up with people? She never had a phase where she experimented, using her college years to study and only one or two boyfriends in the mix. It was power, she could take the power back that was taken from her. Her gut said to run with it. And she was going to.

Then there was that laugh she had gotten familiar with. "I am here to speak with my new sidekick!" The gust of wind announced his presence even before he arrived, smiling just as much as ever.

"Oh All Might, I was waiting for you, do you mind if I go out on patrol with someone else today? I want to get connected to other pros in the area so that way we can know each other's strengths and weaknesses when a situation arises so we can work together better."

He laughs again. "I admire your passion newbie, however I need to show you more of the ropes with the All Might agency on how we do things!"

She sighs. "We can't do that later-?"

"I'm afraid not, I'm much too busy to reschedule unfortunately. So shall we be off then?"

Shade looks apologetically at her new acquaintance. "Yeah, we'll go. You have my number right? Call me." She smiles and follows All Might.

He doesn't miss her longing look. "A new friend I take it?"

"Something like that." Her slight blush is noticeable.

"Oh? More than that I take it? So soon after your traumatic break up?"

"It's not that soon. It's been a whole month, and I figured I've worked past most of it and why don't I deserve to be happy-?"

"It's a bad idea." He interrupts.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't go through with it. It's too soon and you'll just damage yourself more."

"That's really rude-"

"I mean it. Don't go through with this foolishness. I won't allow anyone in my agency to make such fools of themselves."

She's insulted and hurt but doesn't say anything more. It's not like All Might had to know anyway.

==============================================

Unbeknown to Shade, All Might had picked her a particular apartment so that he could see exactly where she went. All of her coming and goings were monitored by him or hidden cameras to ensure she wasn't doing anything he deemed unwise.

However he never expected her to delay a direct order.

He sat there watching her front door, as he often did in his spare time, when he saw her coming out and wrapping a coat around herself. What he did catch was the skimpy clothing underneath, there was no doubt in his mind that she was disobeying his instructions.

The nerve of her.

Toshinori had tried to be nice, tried to bide his time so she could heal and move on, and this is how she was repaying him? It was disgusting. He couldn't allow her to get away with this.

Time to enact plan b.

===============================================

Shade held her coat tighter against her with the bitter wind. It was cold despite the days being filled with spring sunshine, but she couldn't entirely complain, it did give her an excuse to hide her outfit.

What was she thinking? She had never been so bold before, but it felt good. She felt empowered and attractive. No one was going to bring her down.

"I thought I told you it was a bad idea."

Suddenly she turns, startled. "A-All Might-"

"Don't even start with an excuse, I gave you an order-"

"I'm not doing anything- just having some fun-"

"How dare you suggest betraying me like this as fun? I've given you everything."

"And I appreciate it but I need to live my life-"

"You will do it as I see fit- Now go home now-"

"You can't do this All Might, I have a right-"

"If you continue this impertinence I'll have to deal with you more harshly, and I don't want to do that Shade, so behave yourself."

"You can't control me-"

"Fine. If you won't listen I'll do this the hard way."

Then he moved, so fast she didn't even see what he did, only that her body faded into the comforting warmth of black unconscious.

commision for @inesmays

Toshinori Yagi x OC (Ines Mays)

Word Count: 2241 words

Genre: Fluff, implied smut at the end

He literally runs into her.

With his time as All Might so limited, Toshinori usually spends his time powered up rushing everywhere he needs to go. Every minute saved is a minute he can spend doing hero work, a minute that can make all the difference when it comes to saving someone’s life. 

Suffice it to say, when he smacks right into the new school counsellor, he feels terrible. His first instinct is to look to the floor, because who can run into a seven foot two wall of muscle and stay standing?

Ines Mays, that’s who. She looks a little gobsmacked, but blinks up at him, stance steady. 

“All Might!” she blurts out, in a perfect West Coast accent that makes nostalgia bonk Toshinori on the head. 

“I’m so sorry-” they both begin to say at the same time, and he feels embarrassment creep up his neck at this terrible first meeting outside of the staff meeting that introduced her. 

“Ah, Miss Mays,” he begins to say in English.

“I’m such a fan!” she says at the same time, and they both dissolve into awkward giggles and dear god, since when has All Might been awkward? 

“It’s very nice to see you,” she says, delicately. She smiles up at him, and it’s so genuine that it warms him. It sends him into his usual over-the-top All Might act.

“Ms. Justice,” he booms out, giving her a blinding grin. “The pleasure is all mine! Stay strong, and go beyond! Plus Ultra!”

And he high-tails it out of there. 

Ugh.

During his time at Yueii, he has learned to relax the All Might act around his colleagues. But old habits die hard, and meeting someone new makes him want to revert to his scripted overconfidence. Running to the staff room to poof down to his true form, he runs a hand through his hair, wondering at the shyness that comes with attempting authentic interactions with people,

He’s been All Might for far too long. 

–

Toshinori is slow on the uptake.

A couple of days after he runs into her, he finds himself outside the counsellor’s office in All Might form, flexing his biceps to psych himself up. 

“All Might-san,” says that perfectly polite, accented voice from behind him, and he almost jumps through the ceiling and out of the prefecture at being caught flexing to himself, of all things.

“Miss Mays!” he whips around, and don’t do the laugh, don’t do the laugh, don’t-

He does the laugh. 

She doesn’t flinch, only widens her eyes and smiles. 

“I can’t believe I’m hearing that laugh in person!” she exclaims, and looks so starry-eyed that he can’t help but congratulate his clearly stellar natural instincts. “It’s wonderful to see you again- I was just heading into my office, would you like to come in?”

“That would be wonderful,” he smiles, and mentally pulls up his reason for coming into her office like this. 

A good ole chat about the States, naturally. 

Toshinori is very, very sure that that’s his real reason for coming in, and he doesn’t realise how warm his face is while he talks to her about his time in California, or how delighted he is when she asks (shyly, trying to blink the stars out of her eyes) for an autograph.

“For my younger self,” she explains. “I think I was, what, thirteen or fourteen when you debuted? You were my first celebrity crush,” she laughs this part off as if the mere notion is ridiculous, and Toshinori is absolutely delighted. 

When he has time to himself, he wonders how long that crush lasted, and how serious it was. He likes the idea of it, of Ines in her room clutching her pillows and staring up at an All Might poster. He likes the idea of her thinking about him, and doesn’t realise how much he’s started thinking about her. 

Toshinori is slow on the uptake, but Mic and Midnight certainly aren’t.

Shortly after they move into the dorms, when the students are all (ostensibly) tucked into bed and fast asleep, Toshinori stays up in the teachers’ lounge, his bright red reading glasses perched on his nose while he squints at his grading. It’s the worst part of his job, really, but he absolutely cannot pass Young Mineta’s awful essay about the history of women’s costumes in heroics.  He’s sighing over the section the boy wrote about Midnight when the woman herself appears at his side.

“Yagi-san~” she sings out, and Toshinori smells a rat immediately. 

“Don’t look so alarmed,” she says, taking a seat beside him on the couch. “I just wanted to ask if you’re free for dinner tomorrow with Hizashi-kun, Shouta-kun, and I.”

“Oh!” Toshinori gives her a smile, a real one, warmth blooming in his chest. “I would love to come to dinner- is there an occasion?” 

“Oh, no, just catching up between friends, really,” Midnight says airily. “You should invite your new friend. Our American colleague,” she winks, and is gone as swiftly as she had appeared. 

Toshinori stares at the spot she just vacated, the warmth in his chest replaced by something very like dread. 

It’s just a work event, he reasons to himself as he shuts his computer, wanting to get this over quick. It’s not like he’s asking her out to dinner with just him, this is…just a dinner with the people he now thinks of as his closest friends. Yeah, yes. A work thing, a friend thing, a date-

He’s at her door, in the slightly darkened corridor that leads to the non-homeroom teachers’ small campus apartments. He debates to himself about welling up into All Might for a brief second, for confidence, but decides he wants to do this unscripted. Like a real person, rather than his larger than life hero form. 

So he knocks, and waits. 

She opens the door in her pyjamas, bright turquoise eyes fixed on him in a way that makes him blank for a second. 

“All Might-san?” she asks, with an adorable tilt of her head.

“Miss Mays,” he starts out, clearing his throat. 

“Just Ines is fine,” she says, smiling. “Would you like to come in?”

“Oh, that’s fine! I was just- um- dinner?” he says, half in English, half in Japanese. Her brows arch, an amused smile playing on her lips. Before she can answer, he blurts out the details, wipes some blood off of his mouth, salutes her for some reason, and is out of there before you can say “Plus Ultra”.

At least he didn’t let it linger. 

She’s far more coy when he’s in his true form, he notices. While almost everyone alters their behaviour between his two forms, he rather likes her boosted confidence when she interacts with him. It’s almost- dare he think it- flirty?

He shakes his head to physically get rid of the thought. What is with him? He doesn’t typically overthink his interactions like this. Well, perhaps he overthinks the ones with Aizawa-kun (he’s been hoping to graduate into calling him Shouta-kun, or perhaps even take the leap and call him Energy Saver Shou-chan like Mic sometimes does), but that’s always different. He finds himself thinking about the very words Ines uses, the lilt of her accent when she addresses him, every single look she gives him, like he’s trying to decipher a subtextual meaning and he doesn’t know what he hopes to find. 

He’s terribly distracted training Young Midoriya the next day, really only snapping to attention when the boy mentions having an appointment with the school counsellor. 

“You- are going to see Ines?” he says, eyes wide. 

Midoriya nods, mentally noting his mentor's use of the counsellor’s first name and filing it away. Toshinori is oblivious to this, of course, not having yet caught up to the fact that Midoriya is as perceptive of him as a person as he is of All Might. 

“Aizawa-sensei says they’re mandatory appointments,” he shrugs. “Kacchan went first, snarling and biting, you know, like he usually is, but he was terribly quiet when he came out. I wonder what she said to him.”

Something akin to guilt wells up in Toshinori’s heart as he puts a large hand on Midoriya’s relatively small shoulder. 

“Let her take care of you,” he says, gently. “I trust she will do a good job.” 

He knows what his commendation of a person means to Midoriya, and is glad when the boy gives him a relaxed smile. 

—

Oh dear lord she’s stunning and when he sees her standing at the bar with Nemuri, laughing and positively glowing, Toshinori realises what subtext he’s been looking for. 

“You like her,” Aizawa says matter-of-factly, and Toshinori is so resigned to the feeling that he doesn’t even spit up blood. 

“Is it obvious?” he asks, all gloom and doom. 

“Nemuri plans for Mic and I to leave early so you guys can have a date,” Aizawa says, looking for all the world like he doesn’t care, but Toshinori knows by now that his way of averting his eyes and frowning means he’s talking about something that’s important to him. 

“We want you to be happy,” Aizawa concludes, scowling at Toshinori with a ferocity which from him is equivalent to a warm hug. 

Toshinori smiles back faintly, heartened by his colleagues’- his friends’ - good intentions. But isn’t the road to ruin paved with good intentions?

He’s so awfully nervous when Ines and Nemuri join them at the table, and he notices every attempt by the other three to herd him and Ines into a conversation of their own. On her part, she looks flustered, shooting glares at Nemuri which the younger woman returns with mischievous grins. 

“I’m taking a smoke break,” Aizawa announces, leaving the table. Mic and Midnight follow him, and the wink that Midnight sends Ines’s way has Toshinori convinced-

“They’re not coming back, are they,” says Ines, rolling her eyes. “Yagi-san, I apologise, this looks like a very obvious attempt to set us up,” she says, with a clarity that would make it seem she was unperturbed, although the faint blush on her cheeks gives her away. 

“I’m so sorry-,” they both say at the same time, and both break off into awkward laughter.

“You shouldn’t apologise,” she says. “I’m sure you’re inundated with people who like you, and Nemuri-san was just very insistent that I- that we-” she breaks off, biting her lip.

“Why are you apologising?” Toshi asks, wide-eyed. “I should be the one- why, I sincerely hope I haven’t made you uncomfortable-”

“It’s me!” she says in reply, widening her own eyes. “I- I’m the one with the silly crush on you, I-”

“-I like you, but I would hate to make you uncomfortable-”

“-wait-”

“-you have a crush-”

“-you like me?”

They both blink awkwardly at each other, and then Toshi does the brave thing and reaches for her hand across the table. 

“Are you certain?” he asks, and he puts the weight of everything on his mind into the question. It is unspoken that he is no longer the pillar he used to be. Unspoken that he still has enemies. Unspoken that any relationship to him comes with media attention, backlash, and an unfair amount of societal pressure. 

So when she simply lifts his hand to her lips in reply, his shoulders slump in relief. 

“I want to get out of here, Toshinori,” she whispers, and before he knows it, he’s tossed an obscene amount of cash on the table and is halfway to his car, her hand still in his. 

Instinct makes him drive not to the dorms, but to his own Musutafu apartment, a penthouse in a heavily guarded private building, with a back entrance just in case. 

“Tea?” he asks, as he lets them both in. She blinks at him like he’s an idiot, and pulls him to her by his jacket. “You,” she says, simply, kissing him as his arms wind around her waist. 

She pulls back for a second, as if she’s nervous at her own forwardness, but he chases her lips, arms not leaving her waist as he nudges them towards the couch. 

“Movie,” she suggests between kisses, and Toshinori agrees. Now if only he could stop kissing her for a second to put something on-

Her hands are on his chest, and he shivers against her touch. She pulls back a little as things get heated, and there’s an awkward beat before Toshinori sighs and pulls her to him, resting his head on top of hers. She melts into his arms, and he feels her laugh slightly against him. 

“I’m on All Might’s couch,” she looks up at him, and that little starry gaze of her makes him heat up. 

“You could be in All Might’s bed, if you wanted,” he says with a solemnity that belies his not-so-innocent meaning. 

“My, you’re bold,” Ines replies, but she seems amused. Neither of them make a move, content to stay wrapped up in each other for a while. 

“Movie?” he brings up in a while. 

“As the youngins say, Netflix and chill,” she nods. 

“I don’t think that phrase is as innocent as it would seem at first,” Toshinori frowns, but pecks her lips as he reaches for the TV remote.

And if they do end up Netflix and chilling in his bed rather than his couch in a while, that’s between them and television.
