Mha oc, Morika Iino, water quirk ~ Torrential Flow

Season 2, ep 15, UA Sports Festival Race

Morika let out a breath. The 0 Pointer robot was coming crashing down. She was overheating already from having been cramped in that entry way before Todoroki pulled that ice rink move.

“Ugh,” Morika let out a groan as she slid a foot back, she threw her other arm forward, her palm directed to the robots that were falling on top of her and everyone else.

“Nice trick, Todoroki,” she commented to herself, gaze flitting to said boy. All she could see was his figure in the dust he had kicked up. “But sorry,” she looked back up, “you’re not the only one with tricks you wanna show off.”

She ignored cries of everyone in the different classes. They weren’t her problem or priority. Her focus was getting through this race. And everyone had heard Present Mic. They could use whatever means they wanted to get through as long as they didn’t go off the course.

The air around Morika grew more humid, and before anyone could even react, a wave of strong cold water started to appear. It grew in size and strength. Barely seconds later the wave just barely rivaled the size of the robots UA was just reusing from the entrance exams.

“What a show stopping move from yet another Class 1-A student!!” Present Mic announced to the crowds. “Morika Iino’s Torrential Flow quirk is just another show of just how mighty the first years of 1-A are!!”

The wave collided with the 0 pointer, knocking it down the opposite way from everyone else. The splash back had students shielding their faces.

Morika took into a run when the robots hit the ground with giant force, pieces of it breaking down and off, colliding with the ground too. The ground shook, others having to find their balance. And other students had to dodge wayward dropping parts from it too.

“The Class 1-A kids are actually freaks!” Someone yelled.

“Look, she made an opening!” Someone else yelled, pointing forward.

Though that opening was quickly closed when parts of the wave that had collided one of the boundary walls had come back to collide roughly with the ground.

Morika had passed though. She had jumped onto an arm one of the robots to just barely avoid her own wave and jumped down onto her wave that acted as a slide for her.

The crowds watching had broken out into cheers and cries for the light purple haired girl before being silenced by her classmates behind her breaking through after her wave had disappeared into the air and the ground.

“Open those eyes, Pro Heroes!!” Present Mic yelled into the mic, “Get your note pads ready to jot down some 1-A names!”

Normal Person

The user of this Quirk will always be seen as a normal person. No action they make, no matter how strange, will not be questioned and will be accepted as normal. A certain time after the Quirk user has committed an action that would seem out of place, witnesses may recover, but only if they seriously consider the incident and this Quirk makes it difficult for them to do so. No matter how strange they may look, no one will ever give them a second glance.

[rebellioushero]

AFO.QUIRK LOG

Quirk name: corkscrew muscles.

Quirk type: transformation.

Quirk range: self

Quirk description the user has incredibly complex and unique muscles, which allows them to manipulate and rotate their muscles and joints in various ways this allows them to perform advanced movement and acrobatics with ease and allows them to exert a greater amount of force and strength. The user's muscles will glow red when activating the quirk they will have fast movement and agility, and the user's muscles will make a loud and intense whirling sound, reminiscing of a drill or twisting metal and the more force and speed they exert from their muscles the louder it gets.

End of the log.

Ethereals: “¡Muéstrame tu sonrisa!”

Bakugous: (⩺_⩹)

They are stubborn boys lol

I’ve been a huge fan of BNHA since I was 14 (for 5-6ish years now), and have recently gotten back into after almost a year of having little-to-no interest in it. As I’ve been indulging in more content, I decided that my first (and favorite) OC, Ethereal, needed a revamp! So, I’m currently working on a new character sheet for her as well as improving her lore overall. I’ve leave fun facts down below about her!:

- She stands at 5’0, same height as her classmate Toru Hagakure.

- Her quirk is called Aerial Limit and is a cloud-based quirk.

- As a side effect of her quirk, she can float and weighs only 20 Ibs (a healthy weight).

- She is highly proficient in Capoeira, majority of her fighting style is with the use her legs and her incredible acrobatic skills.

- Her father is Afro-Latino (Dominican) and her mother is half-Greek, half-Lebanese.

- Before pursuing her professional hero career, Ethereal was training to be a professional performer under the guide of her mother.

- She is trained in singing and the art of belly-dancing.

- At age 6, her father was tragically murdered while on an overseas business trip in Japan.

- Her favorite types of food are sweets, seafood, and spicy.

- Her favorite dessert is Habichuelas con Dulce made by her Abuela.

- She absolutely hates restrictive clothing and opts to wear lose/short fitting clothing (this is due to growing up in between the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas where it is hot!).

- With that being said, Winter is her least favorite season whereas Summer is her favorite.

- #1 Amara La Negra and Karol G fan.

[chapter 408] extended cut - sewer chase scene

[delawaredetroit]

As I have previously said, what Aizawa told Izuku during the quirk assessment was the worst possible thing he could have said to him at the time. Izuku feels the need to prove he is worthy - of existing generally - by being useful. And Aizawa added more fuel to the fire by declaring that Izuku would be useless after saving one person. It only lead to more self destruction because this just exacerbates Izuku's low self worth.

It's not even an accurate description of what happened during the forest training arc. The only person Izuku saved with his quirk was Kota. But Izuku's direct actions at a minimum saved Tokoyami and Shouto. Indirectly, he may have saved most of the hero course. Izuku was the one that made it in time to give Aizawa's permission to fight to Mandalay. Izuku's actions took out the members of the League's Vanguard Squad with the highest body count at the time: Muscular and Moonfish. Without Izuku, the kidnapping would have been the least of their worries. There would have been several deaths.

But all Izuku can think of is when the adults in his life told him that he was worthless because he was unable to achieve a perfect victory in an impossible situation as an unlicensed student.

[mishy-mashy]

Imagine we get to the Paranormal Orphans chapter (410) in the anime, and instead of a normal narrator like Midoriya or AFO, it's just- Present Mic.

*Present Mic*

DAMN MAMA-RAKI! YOU REALLY GAVE BIRTH TO THAT?!

If only he was swept away by the river at birth and drowned- COUGH!!!

[thebnha-auhoard]

How about 5 headcanons for an AU where All Might can't pass on One for All unless all the vestiges agree? They are super-picky and have been preventing him from finding a successor for decades. It gets harder to get a unanimous vote with each new ghost added. Instead of clearing a beach, Izuku must win each vestige's approval to succeed All Might. Thank you!

*finger guns*

On it boss!

Let's make it clear that the choice for the next Successor is only taking so long because the Vestiges now have time. They have time to choose. Before it was so fast. They had to choose fast because the Users dropped dead far too fast. Shinomori, Banjou, and En's decisions were all unamionous agreement so quickly because their current holder was dying and they have to pass down the Light that may defeat AFO. With Nana and Yagi, they had time to choose. And boy oh boy they were using the time with Yagi to fucking choose.

Sir Nighteye here I feel like would be so frustrated over the fact that every single one of the Past Users have to agree. He is trying so hard to find a perfect successor for not only All Might but also the past users. The reason why Mirio was rejected was due to how Third and Second felt like he wouldn’t have the determination to truly push through all the boundaries to do the right thing.

When Yagi chose Izuku as his successor, he had to go and disclose to him that he must not only win the approval of Yagi but all then past users of OFA. You got to rizz them up Izuku. You got to win their approval so that OFA won’t just simply be “Unfortunate. You just swallowed hair.” Izuku still needs to clean up the garbage in the Beach though. Still got to get in shape and rizz Yagi after all.

Do want to say that all users have a different reason why they don’t believe Izuku is the right successor. En I always headcanon to have been the youngest OFA user before Izuku and when he got OFA that messed him up bad mentally. Do not have a kid be the next user that will ruin him. I don’t have everyone’s reasons but I do believe that Second would still have the doubt that Izuku wouldn’t be able to go through with the convictions and may be too soft.

Izuku basically goes through a history lesson and workout with this. He is learning about the world and what the past users went through and trying to empathize with them. Early past OFA user meet is always something I love.

[kickbutts-singsongs]

I know no one asked, but I have exactly zero (0) people to talk about bkdk with irl so here you guys go

My BKDK Journey

Yes, this sounds stupid, but my god it’s been almost three years of an absolute rollercoaster of feelings and denials and tears and revelations…

and if you don’t mind, I’m gonna rant about it.

(not spoiler free)

_____

May 2021

To start off, i wasn’t always a bkdk shipper.

I shipped izu*cha at first (not saying it’s a bad ship btw; it’s actually quite cute. im just afraid people’ll be mad if I accidentally invade their tag lol), primarily because I assumed that would be the ship that became canon.

But also, my veryyyyy leasttttt favorite character… was Bakugou Katsuki.

When I tell you that I would’ve loved nothing more than to somehow spawn into the bnha universe and punch that brat in the face— AGHHHHHHHHHH

Now this wasn’t all his fault: A) I watched the dub first lol, and B) he reminded me of someone that i was not in a place to stand up to at the time, and his constant anger, yelling, and harsh treatment of Izuku—who i began to relate to—made me hateeee him.

There was a time when I literally said “if he died, I wouldn’t miss him.” <- this was later proven false lol

So, I was watching the anime dub with an absolute animosity for our resident deuteragonist, but on top of that…

I was watching it with a friend with a crunchyroll account who lived in another state that I was visiting and staying with for two weeks, so by the time i had to go back home, we’d only gotten up to the part where All Might was getting Inko’s permission to let Izuku stay at the UA dorms.

Anddddddd in my drive to consume more bnha once I got home, i somehow stumbled across an Instagram account that posted bnha sub episodes divided into parts,

but they only had season four and onwards.

Sooooo I never saw the second half of season three… more importantly,

I NEVER SAW DEKU VS KACCHAN 2!!!!!

(I will say that I had seen a couple photos/edits/etc, but I never knew what had been said, or why they fought)

_____

June 2021

At this point in time, I’d been exposed to a lot of the fandom. My fyp on both IG and Pinterest were filled to the brim with all things bnha (because this is what happens when one has a hyperfixation), so I saw a lot of stuff.

Especially fanart.

This is where I started learning about the different ships.

I saw a lot of the side character ships and thought they were adorable (kamijirou, todomomo, even kiribaku), but then I saw some with Izuku.

Izu*cha was a given for me. I didn’t think there was a single person that didn’t ship it. But then I started seeing fanart of ships like tododeku, shindeku, and bakudeku.

And my first reaction to finding out that people shipped my beautiful baby sunshine boi with the person who bullied him for years?????

HELLLLLLLLLLL NO

So with my (unknowingly) limited knowledge of their relationship, i was very much an anti (i never spoke out or anything, i just reallyyyy didn’t like the ship lol)

(And then, you know, I started to see all the bkdk hate online and kinda went “okay not touching that”)

But that began to change…

_____

August 2021

…after I saw a manga leak for the first time.

I was scrolling thru my feed and all of a sudden. BOOM!

I was like 😧

IS THAT IZUKU?????

And i looked in the comments and yes it was.

I checked out the page and found that they had an entire account of manga leaks and was so happy.

I quickly began to read from the very bottom of that account, and it started from right about where Izuku first began his vigilante arc (i had no idea how much was in between then and where I left off on the anime, but I was willing to read it lol)

And so I waited diligently for the leaks every week (a practice I have continued to uphold lol), until one day, i came across an untranslated series of panels from the latest chapter. I looked at it and it was of Katsuki and Izuku, facing each other in the rain (you know the one). I knew the leaks would be coming a day later, but I wanted to look through them anyways, so I did.

I didn’t understand a word they said, but the pictures and imagery of them as kids then middle schoolers then where they were now seemed so touching…

And then I came across a pair of kanji that I recognized.

I was like “wait WHAT???”

I zoomed in and went “that— isn’t that—? That’s part of Midoriya’s name, right???”

And then I was like “wait a second… omg that’s Izuku, isn’t it. That’s the freaking kanji for Izuku.”

And it was!!!!!

So inside I’m having a mini freakout cuz—

Bakugou just called him IZUKU

Fast forward to the next day, and I looked at the translated version, and found out that not only did he call him Izuku,

He

Freaking

APOLOGIZED

And I was like “huhhhhhhh”

What happened between now and the most recent anime episodes for this to occur???? For Bakugou to do a complete 180 and apologize????????

Well, I finally got my answers…

_____

November 2021

…when I started reading the manga.

I started from the beginning, cuz I wanted to see Horikoshi’s art style and the extra drawings and all the other stuff…

And when I tell you that Katsuki became a whole new character to me—

First, I read everything about early-on Bakugou— without hearing him yell in his dub voice—and realized “oh wow he really is just a kid with issues and a worldview that he’s now having to change.”

Then, I finally read what happened in that space between moving into the dorms and the beginning of season four (most importantly, DvK2).

Cried.

Then, oh then, I got up to where season five ended and the rest of the manga began.

. . .

Funny thing: back when I read the leaks to ch322, I remember thinking to myself, “huh. what did Bakugou mean by Shigaraki making swiss cheese outta him?”

😦

THE WAY I GASPED

AND THEN CRIED

OH MY FREAKING GOD

That was the moment where i truly ceased to hate Katsuki cuz holy character development batman

Then, of course, we see them in recovery

And then the vigilante arc and apology scene *sobs*

And then I was caught up.

(Btw I finished the entire manga up ‘til ch334 in just over a week. I read for nine days straight. During the school year. My emotions were all over the place goodness gracious I could barely concentrate.)

So that’s how I went from being a Bakugou hater to going “you know what he’s a complex character and he’s slowly becoming a better person” and realizing that he was now one of my fav characters and therefore cursed to die but I’ll talk about that later

Was I now a bakudeku shipper?

Hah nope.

_____

December 2021

I began my dive into the true essence of any fandom: fanfiction.

Over the course of winter break, I had started off with fics that had no romantic pairing (I just wanted to see my boi Izuku), but then somehow stumbled across Mastermind: Strategist for Hire and then read the entirety of the For Want of a Nail series (shoutout to Clouds btw ❤️) cuz I was like “ok whew no bkdk fics” which was my mindset at the time.

But somehow (I can’t even remember how I found it) I came across a bkdk fic. It was called For Want of Izuku’s Toe Joint by Talavin (okay now that I think about it there’s probably a simple explanation lol).

I don’t quite know what compelled me to start reading it, but I did.

And I really liked it.

But not in the “I’ve been converted” kinda way.

It was like an “I shouldn’t be enjoying this why am I enjoying this?” kinda feeling. Like my head says no but my heart says yeah.

A really really really really guilty pleasure.

So, from that day on, whenever I came across any form of bkdk media, I would simultaneously feel discomfort and yet an odd sense of satisfaction.

A snippet of my daily life:

Me: *comes across bkdk fanart on pinterest*

Me: eww

Also me: *stares at it for like five minutes straight*

Me: who even likes this?

Also me: *saves pin to my mha board*

Me: not my ship

Also me: *scrolls down to more like this*

Bless my heart I was in such denial.

_____

July 2022

Bit of a timeskip, but nothing of note really happened in those last six months so here we go.

We’ve gotten to the point in the manga where the final arc is underway and Bakugou is about to KICK SOME BUTT

He’s revealed his Panser Strafe support item and I’m gushing about it to my friend (she kinda fell out of the fandom but still tolerated my rants bless her)

Oh, side note: it was then that I also expressed my concern for Bakugou’s “alive” status

Evidence:

For reference, some of my favorite characters are:

Beth March (Little Women)

John Reese (Person of Interest)

Joss Carter (Person of Interest)

Leonard Snart (Arrowverse)

Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)

Fantine (Les Mis)

Eponine (Les Mis)

Jean Valjean (Les Mis)

Simon (Lord of the Flies)

Piggy (Lord of the Flies)

Grace Stone (Manifest)

Bubaigawara Jin — Twice (BNHA)

Wanna guess which of these guys died?

Trick question! It’s all of them (:

Yeah so anyways those following chapters really made me excited and nervous cuz YEAH KICK HIS ASS BAKUGOU but also IZUKUUUUU WE NEED YOU

hah hah.

_____

August 2022

Utterly gobsmacked. Cried. Disbelief. Horrified. Confusion. Anger. Went through the five stages of grief and then some.

Sometimes I hate being right 🥲

But the good thing that came from this was that my positive view of Katsuki only grew after seeing his utter faith in Izuku (and his thoughts being on him in his final moments???? 🥺🥺🥺)

And it was at this point in time where I could admit to myself “you know what? i see it. i see the appeal. i wouldn’t mind this actually becoming canon.”

Did I think that it would actually become canon?? No.

_____

September 2022

I don’t know how I thought Izuku was gonna react to seeing Katsuki’s body on the ground, but GOOD LORD IT WASNT THAT

Even sweet little blind me realized “oh wow he like really feels intense stuff for Katsuki huh”

(But some things I missed—cuz I was still a bit wired for izu*cha—were shigarakis implications “yeah u looooove the present I got u” and the freaking HEART that blackwhip caused??? when Izuku reeled himself back in???? like how did i miss that i read that chapter like fifteen times??)

So this is all to say that I’ve missed any and all actual bkdk hints up until this point. I finally lifted my head out of the izu*cha fog when…

_____

July 2023

…Ochako and Toga had their chat about romance.

The first actual hint was when Ochako had told Toga “I’ll give you my blood for the rest of my life.”

Little blind me became a bit less blind that day, cuz I was like “um. ochako? that— that sounded kinda like a proposal. like. a marriage proposal. ochako??”

And then those chapters just kept getting better!!

Bebe Ochako’s determination???

The Spirited Away moment?????

“I’m envious of your smile”????????

“YOU REALLY THINK IM CUTE?” “THE CUTEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD” LIKE 😭😭😭😭😭

For the first time, I was looking at the manga without the assumption that izu*cha would be endgame. And it only got better after I…

_____

August 2023

…got Tumblr!!!

Everything was downhill from here folks.

In the best possible way.

I came across some analyses of what was going on with togachako, and consequently led me to some bakudeku analyses. I read them and my goodness they made so much sense.

Like not even just personality-wise!! Those metas brought in actual things Horikoshi said about wanting to go outside the norms of shounen (and about not liking the Naruto ending 💀), and compared bkdk to tropes in different works of fiction, and even discussed how bkdk made sense narratively. They properly convinced me of the ship.

And then for good measure, I reread the manga in its entirety thru a bkdk filter, and lo and behold things took on new meanings and my eyes were opened.

I totally and irrevocably shipped them! And I actually thought they had a chance at being canon!!

(And then I binged so much bkdk fanfiction omg you wouldn’t BELIEVE like I read the ones with the highest kudos first and then just picked the biggest collections I could find and read down the line

It was like being on drugs like each fic gave me more dopamine than the last I was so happy oh my god)

_____

October 2023

And then finally, the day came.

The answer to “is bakugou alive yet?” became a yes.

We screamed. We cried. We jumped for joy. We told bakugou antis to suck it. But most of all, our bkdk hearts soared to see our boys make eye contact with each other for the first time in over a year 🥹

And from that moment on, I truly began to believe that bkdk would indeed become canon.

_____

And so, this concludes my 42672288 page rant about how I came to be a bkdk shipper.

Thank you for reading, and before I go, I want to ask:

How did you guys get into bkdk?

Did you convert over from izu*cha? Or perhaps tododeku? Or maybe kiribaku? Or are you one of the few who have shipped them since the beginning??

In any case, I’m happy you’re here. And while it may have taken me a couple years, I’m happy that I’m here too :)

(and thank you @animelover32456)

QUIRK VISUALISATION GIFS

—With shifters who have similar quirks as me, here are some gifs to visualise with.

Most of these gifs are from anime Beyond the boundary!!

[thebest-medicine]

(I’m watching mha for the first time through) and ok so like…. Hawks’ quirk is literally controlling every feather in his wings individually????????…. how ler of you sir

[mha-quirk-ideas]

Fear

Any fear the user of this Quirk experiences is redirected to those around them. The more afraid the user is, the more fear those around them will experience. And the more people around the user, the more people will experience fear. The Quirk does apply to animals– anything that can experience fear. Range and the fear those around the user experience can be increased with training. The ability to limit the fear those around them experience to specific targets can be manifested with training. If there is no other living being that can experience fear within the given range, fear will be experienced by the user.

[poly-space-nerds]

hmmm thinking about Todoroki and Midoriya being childhood friends where they promised to marry each other so that todoroki could protect midoriya from bullies and he protects todoroki from his dad but one day todoroki just vanished and he doesn’t hear from him again until they end up in UA.

cue todoroki not wanting to get close because he’s still consumed by anger at his father and thinks Izuku won’t want to be his friend anymore since he’s changed so much and ignores him. Midoriya is hurt yet can’t stop thinking about him and the scar on his eye. i.e. they don’t interact in season 1. then sports festival happens and todoroki tells him everything. Midoriya is obvious like ‘i’m always gonna be your friend’ and ‘it’s your power isn’t it?’ while Todoroki is ‘i’m sorry’ and ‘thank you’.

The day after the sports festival has ended and everyone is back in class, Todoroki walks into the classroom, eyes set on Midoriya, gets on one knee and proposes. much to literally everyone else’s confusion.

[ace-touya]

My Favourite Quirk Ideas I’ve Come Up With for OCs

Solidify

The user has the ability to solidify the water in the area to a pink material than can be formed into any shape, meaning it can be used as a shield, armour, a weapon, etc. quirk obviously cannot be used if there is no water around. It also doesn’t wear off - the water stays in the solidified form.

Namesake

By repeating a person’s name, the user is able to freeze, speed up, or slow down that person’s movement. It only works for as long as the user is able to continuously repeat their name. As soon as they stop saying it, the effect ends.

Amplify

The user has the ability to amplify the sound of anything they touch with all five fingers. They cannot amplify their own voice, but they can amplify musical instruments that they play, including ones that use breath. They can also amplify other people’s voice. My oc used this on my friend’s oc who is related to Present Mic.

Sleep Paralysis Demon

A sentient quirk. The user has an 8’0 demon with enhanced strength that follows it everywhere. The demon’s strength depends on how much sleep the user gets - more sleep = weaker demon, but if the user hasn’t slept in ages, the demon becomes angry and attacks the user. My oc’s demon is named Shy.

Ghost

Another sentient quirk, a being that only the user can see and hear. The being can interact with physical objects and therefore can communicate with other people by writing. If the user doesn’t eat enough, the being disappears.

Hot-Blooded

The user has a resistance to heat and is sensitive to cold temperatures. They cannot get burned. Anything they touch with the palms of their hands sets alight

String

The user shoots golden strings that vary in length from their knuckles. They have electrical properties, so can be used to electrocute people, but my oc mainly uses them as a capture weapon instead.

Hysteria

Based on the game Alice: Madness Returns, when the user is experiencing a lot of physical pain, they get a power boost. Their eyes go red and their skin goes completely white, and they get enhanced strength and can’t feel pain. They cannot die while hysteria is active, but it doesn’t heal wounds, so when it deactivated, if fatal wounds are left untreated, the user will still die.

[circledotdestroy]

Hearts and Nerves (Shouto Todoroki x F!Reader)

Todoroki was nervous. He wasn’t sure why, you two have been friends for a while after all. The look on his face didn’t show it, but his heart raced when he saw you. It was an overwhelming feeling that made him want to stay as close as possible to you, but also made him want to run away. 

At first he thought it was because he saw you as a threat. He did challenge you alongside Midoriya before the Sports Festival. While he challenged Midoriya due to a connection with All Might, he challenged you because it was clear that you were a prodigy with a powerful quirk. You were the obvious threat for the Number 1 Spot.

While you still competed against him now, the two of you were friends. He knows you wouldn’t hurt him— outside of training. Despite the rivalry, you were supportive of him and always seemed so enthusiastic to see him grow and flourish, both as a hero and a person. He shared the same pride in you, so why would he feel fear?

He tried separating himself to think of a reason. When he tried to meditate on it, he could only reminisce of times where you sat with him at lunch and tried your best to stay on track describing a show you like to him, someone who doesn’t watch television very often. The way you described it left him with more questions than answers, but the smile on your face, the way you moved your hands as you spoke, the light radiating from your eyes…

What can he do to keep your eyes shining like that? As soon as he could look you in the eye without having his heart trying to burst from his chest, he was going to find out and do everything he could.

Needless to say, Todoroki still had no clue why he was nervous around you; so he decided the next step was to consult a friend. 

That moment, Todoroki got off his floor mat and left his room to find the person who would help him face this sudden fear. Bakugou was very confused by his rival standing behind his door asking for help– with a generous offering of tea and protein cookies. Bakugou’s confusion inclined him to allow his rival inside, feeling a mix of curiosity and pride at his rival coming to beg him for help. When he found out it had nothing to do with heroism or fighting, Bakugou got irritated toward Todoroki for wasting his time and yelled at him for being a “stupid coward over a girl” they were “supposed to be competing against for Number 1”.

Todoroki asked Bakugou how he was supposed to conquer his new fear of you and got a once-bitten and half-dipped cookie thrown at him along with many choice-words from his newly found love-guru.

Todoroki was nervous. This time he was sure why. You two have been friends for a while, and now he has new labels for feelings that have never applied to him before. Although his face didn’t show it, his heart raced as he told you to walk with him to UA’s gardening club after the day was done. He never thought he could be excited for a time that he wished would never come.

He counted the minutes back every time he looked at a clock, he hoped if he stared at it he could have just a little longer to prepare himself for what he knew had to happen. 

When the time came, Todoroki is sure there are more white hairs on his head than red. He tries to stick with the scripted conversation starters that he played in his head since he decided that day at this time he was going to tell you what’s been keeping him up at night. 

The two of you go to the gardens where Shouto has to tell you, his dearest rival, how you are a threat he has no strategy against. You held his beating heart in the palm of your hand, he can only hope you’re kind enough to show him mercy. 

Standing near soft, pink carnations you embraced him and felt the beating heart in his chest. Shouto didn’t feel like running away.

[kaytaygay]

I was kindly given a MASSIVE list of quirks to make from @mizuniatora so I’m just gonna reblog this with a new quirk every time I make one
