HI HELLO HOWDY I just saw ur quirk requests and I gots one hehe

Unicorn

This quirk gives the user some attributes of a unicorn (horn, ears, and a long tail with hair on the end) as well as stronger legs, specifically enhanced agility speed and strength! The quirk also gives them the ability to remove toxins/poisons from water and to a greater extent people, although it's much more difficult. However, they do have a poison/toxin resistance due to the purifying part of their quirk

They aren't related to anyone in Canon but the stronger legs part of their quirk is similar to Mirko!

Platonic 1A please!!

And extra info is he/they pronouns and idk if you write trans reader but if you're comfy doing so that's be awesome :D, also their vibe is pastel himbo JDHDBSND

I lov ur writing and I hope ur having a good day/night!!!!

Unicorn in a UA Uniform

pairing: platonic!class 1a x reader (he/they, trans)

genre: fluff, sillies, LIGHT angst

warnings: mentions of femenization/fear of transphobia (doesn't aftually occur, just a fear of) + mentions of jerkwads

author's note: i was blasting mlp songs while writing this. ALSO***, for future ref, as a trans person, im more than happy to write trans rep!

(also dont like how people made scary edits of this song :( )

(Ik this isn't unicorn themes exactly but it made me :]:]:]:] happy bc its bright and pretty like unicorns :])

you're warm. you're bright, and everything about your quirk should be an automatic eyestrain warning, but it's not because there's something about who you are as a person that balances.

you're not coolheaded or laidback, but you're not eccentric to the point where it comes off as forceful. you're you, yourself, a proud unicorn himbo, and nobody in your class can bring themselves to think anything negatively of that whatsoever. even people like bakugou embrace it (a few weeks in) and though it does perplex him, he doesn't look into it much.

so your first impression as a person? GREAT!

the next issue though was how people saw you as a peer. well, moreso from a professional stance.

because of your power to remove toxins paired with your ability to watch your own ass, you're typically quickly labeled as a support hero or told you should pursue rescuing. at first you just took it as a compliment because there's nothing weak or bad about being a support hero or rescuing! they're difficult fields of work and arguably some of the most important!

but when you realized it was a backhanded way to tell you that you weren't suited for prohero work, it started to bother you.

the way people told you, too, was just so condescending. they always said it with a bit of a bite in their tone, a second slap in the face once you realized they were also treating you like an outright idiot.

"have you ever considered... alternative career paths? heroes are always looking for sidek- er- support."

"you're no cat, but i'd imagine the pussycats are always looking for back up crew. the pay is good and well... it'd probably save you your...mental energy."

it wasn't just random people. no, it was some people even at SCHOOL who were telling you this, people who youd considered friends since middle school.

and it was tough. trying to act as though you didn't understand their intentions was TOUGH. but considering the alternative, which was losing your only "friends", you decided to play up the whole clueless, starry eyed dreamer act.

this was until you got your first praises from aizawa.

training was great. difficult and tiring, and it definitely pushed you to your very limits, but great. you were treated seriously and that was all you'd really wanted.

wearing pastel clothes, being a bit vacuous and having a unicorn quirk did not make you weak. it didn't make you less of a person, less of a guy, or less of a hero, and it was great to finally be treated that way with nobody trying to take it easy on you out of any pity.

your 1a peers weren't going to hold back and neither were your teachers. after the first two months of school, as the class started becoming better acquainted, compliments started rolling in more often. they were commonly shared amongst everyone with genuine and vibrant admiration for the diverse skillsets amongst the group, but what was rare was for them to come from aizawa.

it wasn't that he couldn't tell someone when they were doing well, but he hardly ever left it at that. it wasn't a bad trait, really; his ability to maintain a professional front despite caring so deeply about his students in order to provide the best feedback possible was an asset to the school staff. in the same way it drove everyone towards progress, though, it left many yearning for more assurances. however asking for it was going to be seen as selfish or needy regardless of who it came from.

it's still school, after all.

but this is why, 4 months in, when aizawa compliments you, genuinely compliments you, you finally get that improvement in self image that pushes you to stand up for yourself.

"now, [last name]. their focus on getting to the target never made him lose focus of damage control. he supported mina when necessary and kept open communication to allow her to do the same for them. that's what a good teammate is supposed to do with any hero they're working with. adapting to a situation includes adapting to who you're working with. he made sure they stayed on track even when facing massive interruptions in plans."

and he moved on. three days later, you confronted your "friends" and decided you weren't going to take any shit about your career choices.

OK AS FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS W GROUPS IN THE CLASS-

deku won't outright ask you to do it, but it's clear he's curious and you're more than happy to help him with his notes. it's not everyday you have a friend that's so genuinely interested in your abilities. (basically you test how fast you can purify water and he figures out how to calculate how that'd translate to your ability to purify toxins in people based on previous trainings and he uses that in order to-)

as mentioned earlier, bakugou doesn't mind you. todoroki doesn't either. they're not closest to you, and same goes with iida, jirou, sero, and momo, but it's moreso a difference in interest over anything. none of you are just very close and thats all good! you still care about each other and respect each other v much.

KAMI AND KIRI ARE ALSO HIMBOS AND YOU THREE HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT AESTHETICS THAT HONESTLY NOBODY EXPECTED YOU ALL TO BE SO CLOSE BUT YK SLAY

after hanging out in the dorms, you end up with black nail polish, kami ends up with pastel nails, and kiri ends up with a mix of vibrant red and pastel red that he honestly does not mind. you and kami also make fun of his croc obsession, all in good fun, but then kiri makes fun of your obsessions with sticking to your aesthetics and yall are 😶 /lh

you were honestly scared that uraraka, mina, and asui would femenize you because of your aesthetic + your quirk. you were scared of others doing it as well, but for some reason especially nervous about their reaction, especially after telling them your pronouns,, BUT THEY RESPECT YOU ON ANOTHER LEVEL OK? 👹 and when mina told you they go by she/they, everything was honestly great. you all get alone very well and often times help each other find clothes (you insist on helping uraraka pay for new clothes).

you're not that close to the other girls of the class, but that isn't to say you dont get along!

the same goes with teachers, really, though mic often times asks about something you're wearing, whether it's a bracelet, necklace, or even the nail polish. you notice sometimes that layer in the week, either him or shinsou is wearing something identical or near the same to what he asked about.

its become somewhat of a habit now, you staying two minutes late to trade information about where you get accessories.

but yes. overall it's a good time. you keep learning, not just about the prohero field, but about your value. you have a place in the world, in prohero agencies, in UA, in 1a. and nobody is ever gonna be able to take that from you. you're truly 1 in a million.

PLEASE READ

uh hey! so. i wanted to get feedback on something.

i don't want to write fics im not passionate about bevause...well, A. it's harder. it takes me longer to find the drive/come up with ideas. B. i don't want to deliver work that i'm not happy with/proud of.

for those who have unanswered requests, please dm me and let me know if you'd like me to screenshot and send your request back. there are many many mha fic writers who i'm more than certain would be happy to explore your wonderful ideas :] (and they are wonderful. i'm not saying that to be a people pleaser,, there's a lot of thought/imagination and genuine fun that can be had with the prompts y'all sent in!).

i am interested in writing for newer interests of mine, which include stranger things, our flag means death, what we do in the shadows, and a couple others. requests are still closed, but i will try to come up with a request format for when i am ready to take them.

for those of you who unfollow because of the switch,

thank you so much for your ongoing support. mha was a really important part of my life and im really lucky i got to share that passion with you all :]

for those of you staying,

i would like to know whether you'd be good with a new account format/aesthetic change. i will still be an exclusively x masc/nonbinary!reader writer. but i am thinking of changing up the format of my account as well as how i interact, which would likely include more frequent posts just for fun (talking to yall), reposting other accounts writing, and i think overall just a more casual approach to my account. let me know your thoughts/questions via request, dms, or in the comments. your feedback is really important to me :]

p.s. there may be future fics where i come back to gang orca. he's still very much a comfort character for me. i will also now be tagging my fics with "#read with me lovelies" instead of trying to compile another masterlist which can be very tedious and agitating on mobile

class 1a with reader with suuuuper hot hands

pairing: platonic!class 1a x gn!reader (they/them)

genre: crack, fluff, drabble

warnings: a lil bit of self conscious reader,,

author's notes: i. love. class 1a. and yes. i include shinsou. shhhh.

so

boiling point

basically, upon touching any metalic element with at least three pads of your fingers, you can bring it to it's natural boiling point. for example, if you touch an iron plate with three fingers, it'll start to boil. you can't return whatever you boil into it's previous state. as soon as you stop touching it, it hardens up, and yes this works for things mixed in with other elements, but it'll ONLY boil the metalic element.

so obviously this can be a bit dangerous. it's upon will, but sometimes you just get kinda excited and your emotions might trigger the quirk to activate. it happens mostly when you're passionate, so you wear thick gloves that only leave two fingers on each hand exposed. still have four fingers out, but it makes it way less likely for you to accidentally do something.

you got into ua through the tests. you'd get as close as possible and touch the robots wherever a spot was open, but you still had to be pretty careful. not everyone was resistant to such extreme temperatures, so while the metal was pooling and boiling around your ankles with no problem, you had to yell at others to stay back. it did make it easier to rack up points for yourself when most others physically couldn't take a robot target from you, though.

up until living in the dorms, all was pretty mellow. you weren't seen as a threat by bakugou or todo who were making their aim for the top clear. you performed, and you performed well, but you didn't really show what you were fully capable of until after the summer camp attack.

and then people started being like 🧍 WHERE WAS THIS ENERGY BEFORE-?

they knew you were strong. but DAMN.

kiri calls you manly. fr. like. all the time, even at the beginning of the year, but especially after you show that you can literally BOIL DOWN AN ENTIRE BUILDING'S STRUCTURE-

he is kinda scared of you being around tetsutetsu, though, he doesn't want you to accidentally melt one of his bestest friends 😭

bakugou like 😐 on the outside but is going apeshit on the inside. he does tell you to not be so reckless tho-

"oi, bunson burner-"

"hey-!"

"try not to bring down the entire fucking building, will you?"

"you're the one with the demolition quirk-"

and you bicker back and forth, never coming to a conclusion as to who's quirk is more unnecessarily destructive.

deku thinks you're fucking cool (bc he thinks everyone is cool) but he really does wonder if you could theoretically boil tetsutetsu. not that he'd like to actually see it.

he also thinks it's fascinating how much control you have over it. the way you calculate when to move, how, and how it should correlate with lifting your fingers from your target while keeping in mind the environment just-

it's so complicated and he wonders how you're able to get it done in your head so quickly.

once, during civilian-rescue training, you were tasked to save dummies from beneath large debris. a few happened to be metal-based, and the way you handled it? bringing it to a boil, letting it spill outward, release. it hardens. bring it to a boil, letting it spill outward, release. hardens. and you were quickly able to get the pieces light enough to safely remove. and for practice with civilians injured by those objects, still in contact?

"so if you boil it just enough, as it drips, it starts losing that heat the further from your hands so it just comes to a melting point... but you had to lift your fingers and..."

"OI, DEKU, STOP WITH THE DAMN MUMBLING-"

HRNXND YOU'RE BANNED FROM THE KITCHENNN 😭 AIZAWA IS SCARED YOU'RE GONNA MELT THE STUFF BY ACCIDENT... AGAIN-

"[Last Name]". it's not just an egg. last time it was just toast. do i have to show you the picture of the old toaster again?"

the shade of it all 😭😭

shinsou can relate to you fr. being told and reminded about how dangerous your quirk is, how much power you have to cause damage to others, especially when the world around you is full of metals to boil just like it's full of people to brainwash.

any quirk can be used for bad in one way or another, but ones that can just seem so naturally made to destroy and manipulate such fundamental parts of their everyday life? yeah. labeled, easy.

one day you're just minding your damn business on a group outing. it's all good, everything is chill and then

"isn't that the ua student who tried to boil the tracks to make the train stop during their internship?"

"the one who interned with mount lady? ...oh my god, it is-"

and they had the audacity to not only stare, but scoot away from you because of course you were on a train with them 😀

and yes, you did do that. but it ended up actually being effective. sure, it ruined the track and almost caused damage to the train (and passengers) but the worst were a few concussions and some reconstruction.

besides, if you hadn't, the whole thing would've been hit by a villain's much more dangerous quirk up ahead.

but yes, you heard, and it made you uncomfortable. you were trying really hard to appeal to public opinion, but some people still thought you were dangerous, careless.

shinsou noticed. and as much as he was tempted to brainwash those ASSES, he knew better than to draw any more attention. he was lucky they hadn't recognized him under his hoodie.

"if you did something wrong, mount lady would've told you. it did look bad without context, but you did what you had to do."

and that from shinsou was equivalent to

"you should be proud of what you did because i know i sure am."

and that felt really nice and :) yes, very nice, you two end up becoming best friends allies and nobody can separate you two tbh-

MINA THINKS ITS SO COOL TO HAVE SOMEONE WITH A SIMILAR-ISH QUIRK. LIKE THE EFFECTS. IT'S NOT MELTING, BUT... CLOSE ENOUGH DJNDNC

todoroki is convinced you're a secret love child of one of tetsutetsu's parents and someone with a boiling quirk. or fire quirk... ENDEAVOR-

dark shadow likes you a lot. he appreciates your patience from experience since... well, growing up, when you accidentally activated your quirk, people weren't as patient. tokoyami appreciates it, too, ofc.

denki calls you hot stuff, and you have to remind him that he has a choker buckle around his neck that you can boil right against his skin if he tries anything funny-

also yes, you've threatened to boil off mineta's "pants" of his hero outfit LMAO-

tetsutetsu isn't in your class but he's seen what you can do to iron and he is very afraid, actually-

...tenya needs you to step away from hIS ENGINES AND HERO OUTFIT PLEASE-

uraraka and asui think your quirk is p cool 😎

momo finds your effects on metal quite fascinating, tbh. :) i feel like she'd make things to team up w you, like some sort of lab-like tool sized up and then you'd boil a shit ton of metal and uraraka would use her quirk to help scoop it up for clean up,, just makes things easier, yk?

BUT YES

AND WHEN YOU BOIL THINGS BY ACCIDENT, MOMO OFFERS TO HELP FIX IT UP

AND EVERYONE REASSURES YOU THAT IT'S OK (except bakugou, the fucking ASSHAT but it's ok,, he's not really mad, he's just worried you'll hurt yourself w smth) AND TRIES TO HELP YOU FIX IT BC YOU JUST GET SO EMBARRASSED AND WORRIED THAT THEY'LL BE MAD :(((

and tbh sometimes you're scared to touch people? like if they're wearing jewelry, you get really worried that it'll boil and hurt them. :(

SO THESE ANGELS KNOW THAT AND WILL EITHER PUSH THEIR JEWELRY OUT OF THE WAY-

OR THEY'LL GET YOU NEW GLOVES MADE SPECIFICALLY DENSE ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN'T DIRECTLY TOUCH ANYTHING, BUT COOL ENOUGH THAT THEY'RE NOT UNCOMFY IN THE HEAT

AND THEY GIVE IT TO YOU AND 🥺

WAHHHHHHHHH THEY LOVE THEIR BUNSON BURNER BAHAHAH

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

Okay hear me out. Male reader with a bird quirk (probably a relative of hawks) with platonic bakusquad hcs?????and to help you out some of my own lil hcs: Letting Kami preen your wings when he stims because not only does it give him something soft to play with it also feels nice. Mina enjoying messing with you while playing music! Who ever needs a hug hidden in readers wings will get one (its most likely baku needing to calm down just hiding in your fluffy embrace) ive run out of words so here

class 1-a with their chirpy classmate

pairing: platonic!class 1-a x male!reader (he/him)

genre: fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy-

warnings: strong language :)

author's note: this was a nice brain break... also hh i love sero but denki makes me feel all warm and ok bc stimming and it's like?? nobody says anything abt it??? like he just stims and is left in peace?? and i love that idk sorry

also, hitoshi is in class 1a in this (ik he's probably gonna be 1b but sh)

EDIT: HOW TF DID I PUT NOTHING ABT TODOROKI OR MIDORIYA OR SERO IM ASHAMED 😩 BUT I FIXED IT

EDITEDIT: this is now part 1 of a quirk request series I've started. the link to that request form is in my bio @ my masterlist and faq link

being pro-hero hawks' little (half-)brother was definitely an interesting part to your story. having been hidden from the world and only recently noticed because of your acceptance into ua was another. but what most people found interesting was your quirk.

you had fierce wings, too, which meant a pair of [color] wings. because of your other parent, your quirk also granted you a lot more bird-related instincts and behavior. you were powerful, but you were expected to be 10x better than hawks by your pro-hero years.

and that's... a shit ton to take on.

but it was gonna be okay, because you weren't doing it alone.

no, you were doing it with your class, your family, at that point.

OKAY SO

when kami stims, you do - in fact - let him preen your wings. it's not the way usually done, obviously (he doesn't have a beak and... it wouldn't be very sanitary-), but they do like gently feeling through them the same way he does with ojiro's tail. it makes them feel really relaxed and becomes a stim for him. he often zones out when doing it, too.

at first, when he catches himself doing it, they force themself to stop and apologize. but then you tell him that you don't mind, that it actually helps you, and yeah he does it a shit ton now, v nice 👍

everyone loves your quirk, but mina LOVES your quirk. when she puts music on, any music that you two like, your feathers ruffle a bit on instinct and you start going between quiet chirping and whistling, something you try to fight out of mild embarrassment. but mina loves it and you grow less and less conscious of it as you two get closer.

the class finds out about it,, it's great to have that verbal approval of their taste when they play their favorite songs.

the same kinda goes for when your favorite people come around. you tense up a little and your feathers fluff up. your eyes dilate and even if you try to hide the smile or your excitement, your body tells them all they need to know. sometimes, though, they get nervouse because you do the same for opponents in instinctive aggression.

instincts.

one of which is, of course, preening your wings, but it also includes doing some of the same for your friends.

one time you were just watching a movie with the class in the common room and you ended up going through momo's hair. it wasn't dirty, obviously, but you kept going and would let out little chirps of joy. her expensive hair wash just smelled good, yknow?

obviously the rest of the class pointed it out, and when momo giggled and thanked you, you went sll red in embarrassment. it was definitely a new action to you, something you were unaware of.

"a-ah- momo, i'm so sorry-!"

"no, [Name], it's okay! here-"

she made a square of fabric with (obviously) artificial feathers sewn on while you were distracted. you were still embarrassed, but you couldn't help the fluffing of your festhers as you took it.

yeah, you were potentially deadly, but sometimes you were just so sweet and-

JFNXKDNX LMAO THEY LOVE YOU

AND THEY LOVE HUGGING YOU.

when you hug someone, your wings come around in a form of protection. and they're so soft and have a quirk of their own-

comfort.

you're just-

they're comforting. for everyone.

mina's favorite thing is obviously your reactions with music, but she loves your whistling. it can be funny, like once when you were quietly whistling wap, but it can be really calming, too. you once whistled a dodie song and it was so calming that they just fell asleep against your shoulder.

asui honestly just likes having another person with an animal quirk around, and it's the same with kouda. it gives kouda a better understanding of how to read his bird friends, too. with asui, whenever she's getting too cold, you try to wrap her up in a wing to warm her up. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it always at least makes her feel far more comfortable.

TENYA GETS ANNOYED SOMETIMES. when your feathers fluff up seemingly out of nowhere, the man gets all guarded and shit 😩 he also finds your whistling quite agitating when he's looking for some quiet,, but he does come around and just talk to you about it.

uraraka loves it. she honestly finds your quirk fascinating, and it's a lot of fun to work with her quirk along with yours in traning, using her zero gravity to help support any weight your wings are trying to carry. she's also just very cuddly by nature, so a lot of her leaning into your wings if you have them sprawled out.

EIJIROU THINKS YOUR WINGS ARE V MANLY AND LOOKS UP TO YOU FR, ALSO YOUR WINGS ARE VERY NICE FOR HUGS AND IT MAKES HIM SUPER HAPPY WHEN BAKUGOU BECOMES COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO HUG YOU TOO LMAO

yes, boom boom boy comes around.

"yeah, so that's why i- huh-?"

"don't say a fuckin' thing, bird brain... you offered."

"oh, alright-"

"AND DON'T THINK THIS MEANS IM WEAK OR ANYTHING, YOU'RE THE WEAK ONE, ALL... SOFT AND..."

he loves your wings, highkey. he stresses the fuck out of himself and gives himself a LOT of anxiety, but whenever it becomes too much, he'll just kind of hide hugging you. he likes when you fluff up your feathers while you're hugging, so do that and he'll basically be on the edge of falling asleep in your hold-

midoriya and todoroki are interesting when it comes to your quirk... sometimes they ask kinda uncomfortable questions, mostly midoriya because he's taking so many notes,

but todoroki just wants to know abt your weaknesses-

"so your feathers take two days to grow back?"

"uh- yeah-"

"individually?"

"mhm-"

"so it makes you significantly more vulnerable to my quirk."

"w-wait, hold on-!"

"i apologize for any inconvenience. thank you for answering my questions."

and sero was a lil scared he'd get stuck to you. again. he used his quirk indoors once towards mineta, but you walked right into the way by accident snd it caught your wings. he tried yo pull away, but it plucked your feathers out. h a r d.

he apologized sm 😩 he was so scared of hurting you again JFNXN-

basically everyone loved your quirk. there are dome things that can be restricting at times, though. you can sit without sprawling your wings, but they occasionally fluff out to relieve any discomfort. this catches some people off guard (including iida) which has lead to you being encouraged to just have them out in a comfortable position.

some of them also take a lil longer to trust you-

when hitoshi first meets you, he's quick to point out the fact that you and your feathers hold a sort of telepathic communication, which isn't new info to any hawks fans. tokoyami silently agrees, mostly because hawks is just such a secretive figure. hell, you were one of those secrets until about a year prior!

with time, tho... he can't help it.

AND MATING SEASON DOESN'T HELP, EITHER-

you were able to hold back a little more your first year, bUT YOUR SECOND YEAR MADE IT V DIFFICULT-

you were much more like a "hawk" than your brother (yes, courtesy of both of your parents strongly contributing to your bird-liness). because of this, though, n a t u r a l s e l e c t i o n gave your body an actual internal clock for a mating season. you were still a teen, so obviously acting on it soon was never ever a plan, but you started going through the habits of the season.

late winter, early spring. you started becoming rather possessive of your things. you were a lot more aggressive than usual, and you started becoming far more sensitive to any criticism. your anxiety was wayyy up, and the only thing that relieved it was flying.

yes. at night, too.

and one time, you snuck out through your balcony and collected

rocks and sticks. and you brought them back to your dorm and set them out around your bed.

the next morning, when you refused to leave your room, aizawa went in and was absolutely confused. it looked like you had some sort of ritual circle going on, and you were anxiously preening your wings.

it was confusing because things didn't 100% align with bird instinct, but it obviously was completely natural to you.

safe to say that when other students found out, it made it hard to see you as intimidating at all.

kouda helps quite a lot during this time which lasts a little over a week for you, helping direct friends for how to help out.

you borrowed a ton of hoodies during that week. and there was a lot of decorating within the circle. random shit, too, like wrappers from any snacks you were given from your friends.

hitoshi had to chuckle- BFNXN-

THIS IS WHO HE WAS SCARED OF TRUSTING-?

but his chuckle made you cry because you thought he was making fun of your "nest"

he almost got his ass fucking bEAT-

But yes.

they love you. much snuggles, yes. a lotta love. 🧍

platonic kithes to their favorite chirp champion :D

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

Hiii idk if I'm doing this exactly right but I thought it'd be fun!

This is kinda basic my baddd

Element

The user can control any element. The amount of air the user can use is limited to how long they can hold their air. The amount of water and earth they can control is dependent on how much they weigh. They can control about twice their mass. Earth is hard to control and is stubborn, strong forceful movements are needed to control earth. Water is delicate and needs precision to be able to control it to it's fullest. Fire is limited by how much energy the user has. Using too much energy will cause cells to die and lead to them passing out. They can't control the element if they have nothing to draw from.

No relation to the cannon

No relation to pre-existing characters

X class 1a can be platonic or romantic

class 1a with a lifebender that they will protect with their l i v e s

pairing: platonic!class 1a x gn!reader (they/them)

genre: fluff! fun!!

warnings: none!

author's notes: mhm! you did it right, and it's not basic! the idea is common, but the details you added make it very special and interesting! i had a ton of fun writing this :D

i also didn't add any relation to canon, but did make reader a child of a non-canon hero couple

ALSO YEAH I. I KNOW I NOW HAVE A PATTERN OF FOCUSING ON KACCHAN FOR A WHOLE LIKE THREE POINTS BUT IM LIKE IN LOVE? SO LEAVE ME BE-

expectations were fucking high, ok? you didn't have a choice as to whether or not you'd succeed; you HAD to.

not only were you the child of two very prominent heroes who happen to be alumni of UA themselves, but you had an incredibly powerful quirk.

hell, it was so strong that theorists started using it as a prime example of quirk singularity theory.

of course your quirk wasn't perfect, and if misused, the consequences were very dangerous.

this meant a lot of training and discipline on your part, something that all your peers of course needed and utilized but you had to do almost two times more. elements wasn't just any quirk, and that was clear during the initial training process in your new hero costumes.

there was half-hot, half-cold and now someone who could control the damn elements? jesus was that battle... interesting-

todoroki has the benefit of focusing on two areas, and both come soley from him, his body. you had to make use of what was around you, and you had four different areas to master. fair to say he was a bit more advanced than you.

that didn't mean you didn't catch him off guard when the ice was creeping up on you and your partner and suddenly it just went up. yes. up.

with patient, focused, graceful movement, you were able to manipulate his ice,, since it's literally just very very cold water. you weren't able to control all of it, but definitely a solid amount, snd the temperature left shoji, his partner, stunned for a few moments, almost literally frozen.

shoto eventually still got the W, but dAMN WAS THAT WILD-

you and shoto have this silent understanding throughout the rest of the year that this was a competition, though he was far more aggressive about it. you were still willing to be friends (and eventually you are) but for a long time he's like "im not here to make friends"

(sure you're not, you fruity son of a-)

you're kind, and a great leader, but you tend to sit back and mind your own business unless told to do otherwise. you're not there to be miserable, but you're not there to get into drama outside of the situations already planted in front of you.

you're a lot like shoji, ojiro, etc. in that sense, and everyone really respects that.

PLUS YOUR QUIRK IS FUCKING COOL AND EVEN BAKUGOU IS HESITANT TO FUCK W YOU-

and omg omg omg omg yes yes yES YOU AND KODA END UP VEING BEST FRIENDS AND YOU'RE NEVER. EVER. E V E R . gonna change my mind

yes, he's quiet at first, but my BOY HE OPENS UP TO YOU W TIME I PROMISE. he gets closer w people through quality time tbh and acts of service. yall work sooo well together, esp in different terrains! you can bring ocean animals to him like the waves in moana hehe and he can speak to the fish to get them to help yall 🥺

and the bugs in the earth!! and the birds in the air!!! and you work so so well together it's really great!!!!!

🥺 y'all can literally just sit in nature together, under a tree and feeling super connected to it all and to each other,, yes y'all are super ultra mega besties 🥺

people tbh entranced by your ability to go between the four elements. like the grace in your movements, your ability to go from fluid movement into strong, sharp movements to absolute peaceful focus and aH you're so cool. AND YOU GET SO MUCH BETTER AND SWITCHING THROUGHOUT WITH TIME

YOU FUCKING BOSS YOUR PROVISIONAL LICENSE TEST TBH LIKE 😳 YOU A T E FR 😭

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SPORTS FESTIVAL, YOU LEFT NO C R U M B S. NONE.

HELL, YOU BEAT BAKUGOU'S ASS, YOU ALMOST GOT HIM TO TAP OUT AND HONESTLY HE'S KINDA SCARED FOR YEAR TWO SPORTS FEST

DEKU AND TODO TOO

yes, you're in the top four fs.

aizawa a lil scared tbh.

well like

the class is as time goes on. you keep getting stronger and stronger. but with this, cells were dying quick.

somewhere near the end of the first year, you were forced to begin a regular meetings with a very specific doctor who had a cell regeneration quirk. down the road, like mirio, you cross your fingers a little tighter on eri's quirk progress. ofc you kept it to yourself, though.

outside of that, you kept to your sessions. it still didn't stop the passing out when you pressed too hard, though, and it worried everyone. the harder you trained, the more often they happened.

so, in the same way they'd bOnk deku when he keeps breaking his damn bones, they are willing to bOnk you if you don't fUCKING REST-

REST, BITCH, YOU DESERVE IT,, YOU NEED IT PLEASE IT'S GONNA BE OKAY YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AT 100 ALL THE TIME :((((

but yes they love you v much

esp koda

hehe i love that...

oRGANIC OPPOS- 😭

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

I have an idea for a quirk idea.

*Ahem*

Quirk: Tiamat.

Like the Primodials Goddess you can create life itself, whatever you want. An army of monsters including, Dragons, smaller dragons, Minatours and so much more. Or inorganic things as well, there are barely any restrictions.

You can also create chaotic energy, bending reality to your will, being able to summon celestial energy as well, for the heavens are under your control.

Like the Tiamat herself you also look draconic, wings, claws and Sharp teeth with many other Features( you can just look at Tiamat from smite and you pretty much look like a somewhat humanoid version)

And the of course you can Manapulate and create salt water, for Tiamat is the Primodial goddess of the salt sea and chaos.

Due to your quirk you are also more durible and stronger than a normal human.

And to really sell the point of divinity, if you use celestial energy you get a halo behind you head.

Drawbacks: the more you use your quirk with out breaks, you will get fatigue, it can take a while until you can use your other abilities again, but you will recover quickly.

Is this op? Yes but we have characters like fucking deku with Protagonist powers and All for one. So let us be op too

Uhhh, yeah let's go with 1a ( Platonic)

class 1a with a fucking god as a classmate

pairing: platonic!class 1a x gn!reader (they/them)

genre: fluff, lotsa angst

warnings: angst 😭 (depression, isolation)

author's notes: HENXN DAMN I FINALLY MADE IT TO YOUR REQUEST YAY,, im also very sorry this isn't my best stuff. ive rewritten it...a lot. in the future I'll probably come back and rewrite again for you!!!

Also!! ik the point was for it to be op, but i decided to strip back a little. ik deku, todo, and baku have super strong quirks, but there are ultimately drawbacks to kinda balance it out and i felt it'd be easier to work a reader in w that balance

so tiamat!: user has ability to bring mythical creatures to life using a balance of chaotic and divine energy. upon activating this quirk, the energy also creates a pair of temporary wings, halo and claws for the user. after 30 minutes, the user becomes incredibly dizzy and needs to rest their quirk for two minutes. they should recover after 2 minutes with only light dizziness and be able to use their quirk for another 30. not resting may result in loss of consciousness.

sorry if there are too many changes plz lemme know if you'd like a rewrite!!

(this pic probably part of the movie, huh? 😐 im too broke, I haven't watched it but once i get a job,, that's my first expense let's get the bill,, purr-)

SO. first off, since there's no real limit on the mythical creatures you can "manifest", you're pretty much one of the most powerful students from the get go. you get in on recommendations, are already coming from a very high class private school for extremely skilled children (tuition paid by the school itself)

your parents are pros, too, so you're well known not only in your class, but amongst the staff and rest of the school, too.

in the class, though, you never acted like you were above the rest. sure, you weren't exactly the most sociable, but you were polite and there to work as hard as the rest of them. it was an extra advantage, because you were at least cooperative unlike bakugou and understood the need to be flexible unlike todoroki.

it toom them time to learn this, but you seemed to have it all the necessary points of a great hero in your palm.

to some people, like tenya iida, this was absolutely admirable. perfect, meant to be idolized and rewarded with success.

to others, like bakugou, this was a threat. another competitor, another reason to push harder than before, even if it broke him.

to aizawa, though, this... well, it was scary. was it nice to have such a well prepared student? of course. was it good to have such a dedicated student? why wouldn't it be?

well, what was left to teach other than the skills themselves? and what did this mean for villains? were they improving at the same rate, building their whole lives around improving their craft to the point where what would take a lifetime for one person to learn will take their children a few years of childhood?

this is where his calculations were a bit off, though.

it didn't take "a few years of childhood". to be as good as you were, as strong and capable and wise, it took it all.

so were you passing every test with flying colors? improving at rates almost breaking records? practically drilling into everyone's heads that you should probably already be in the field?

yes.

but you weren't interacting with your classmates otherwise. your room and the training rooms were all you knew outside of class. every imvitation to any outing was declined. you hardly ever smiled or relaxed, and when you did it was for undercover practice.

you were alone and lonely. the only people you voluntarily spoke to were your teachers whenever you wanted extra tutoring or work and your parents to update them on your progress. you were a machine.

"robocop."

you didn't like the name katsuki bakugou had lent to you, but you felt that you couldn't exactly be mad. and to be honest, it wasn't too bad, right?

but you can only be robotic for so long. eventually the feelings start to set in, especially in that stunning incredible beautiful part of your life called puberty.

"they never smile..."

"even thirteen is more emotive."

"sensei aizawa has more enthusiasm."

"maybe we shouldn't even bother them with the invite."

it wasn't that they were trying to be mean and you knew that. most of it came from worry, or sometimes them being genuinely convinced you were some sort of robot. they were going to be curious and that was... okay. for a while.

it was fine. they stopped inviting you out so much, just nodded to you in passing, and spoke with you as they usually did when paired up for classes or lessons.

but over time? they stopped inviting you altogether, didn't acknowledge you in the hall, and took on overly-professional tones whenever you talked...at all.

this is what you'd wanted, though, right? just focus on the work, on the quirk, on the career path. that's it. that's all you needed.

oh fuck. you were wrong.

powerful, yes, but you started losing the passion. you didn't lose against anyone, but you weren't as vigilant in keeping it clean and quick. sometimes they took a lot more time, and sometimes your energy wasn't enough to keep a large mythical creature like a Bahamut up for two minutes.

people took notice, especially sensei aizawa. still, most people just took it as a small bump in your intense progress.

yeah, you got some looks of pity and some small comments here and there, but... you'd be fine!

"c'mon, terminator, stop playing shy. it's weird."

"[Your last name], you missed an attack. is everything alright in the plan?" (iida)

"you look tired. maybe you should let us take over, ribbit."

it was ok. you were ok. yeah. okay. yeah! of course! you were the almighty tiamat! you'd be fine!

yeah.

yeah...

and then...

"did... did sato and sero just beat iida and [your last name?" (midoriya)

it was... quiet amongst the class. even aizawa, who's rarely taken aback by anything, seemed at a loss for words or any sort of reaction.

but sure enough, there you were, tied to one side of a pole in tape with iida opposite of you, sato and sero reveling in the victory.

your head was down. this wasn't... you. you didn't lose, not that easily, and you definitely weren't captured by surprise. and you definitely did not just mess up the entire precise plan your partner and you constructed with an almost 0% margin for error.

no. no way.

when it set in and aizawa called the win for the next team is when a wave of...relief hit.

relief that you'd lost, relief that you messed up clear as day, messed up soemething so easy to perfect, and relief that nobody was hurting you for it. you closed your eyes and your body released this surge of energy, not strong enough to hurt anyone, but instead slowing into slow waves that slowly tampered off.

everything was put on pause, aizawa trying to make eye contact to cancel out your quirk before realizing all was well and you were... smiling.

you were smiling, teary eyed and genuine, with not one ounce of tension in your usually stiff shoulders.

it was quite the situation, really, and left most of the class rather...weirded out. but after a conversation with the school counselor and sensei aizawa followed by some serioud self reflection, everything started shifting.

you started talking. not a lot, obviously. it was going to take some time, but you'd say hello, ask how people were, laugh. then you said yes to an invitation to ice cream. and then told a joke! a real joke. granted it wasn't the funniest, and the delivery was awkward at its height, but the fact that YOU told it had your class rolling.

and better yet, this improved your performance! you were still improving, but at a human pace, and you had the chance to sct your age a little.

no, it wasn't perfect. this was new. this was going to take some time. but thay was okay, because you had your class with you, and they thought you were pretty fantastic.

and you had limits. and that was wonderful.

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

This might be a bit goofy but I think it would be funny. I have a more serious idea I'll request after this.

Quirk name: Feline Transformation

Quirk ability: You can shape shift into a cat boy and a cat but it has the magical girl transformation scene effects every time you transform. Like you get sparkly and glow and yours clothes become cat themed.

No in work relation unless you want!

X platonic class room 1

class 1a with a catty companion

pairing: platonic!class 1a x male/masc!reader (he/him)

genre: crack, fluff

warnings: being called a catboy in public in front of adults.

author's notes: im... i love this request sm. i can't. put it into words. the magic girl effect detail im-

i also added a relationship to the Wild, Wild Pussycats bc yeah.

tHOSE ARE THE LITTLE THINGS I LIVE FOR,,, QUIRKS OF QUIRKS, YK??

god you were so grateful to have such a multi-purpose quirk. most of the time. other times you wished your parents had mixed up your genes a little more, as if they had a say in how you were built 🧍

nah bc. okok. you have a great quirk. it's very multi-use. you can shape shift into a catboy, or even a full on cat, a large one, and it makes stealth easier, provides great means of defense, the claws provide offense, amazing agility, and incredible balance.

but of course every quirk had its draw backs.

and yours was... well, you couldn't hide your transformation because

SPARKLE. FUCKING. HAVING TO TWIRL, DO A LITTLE LAD DANCE, AND HAVE SPARKLES GO ON AROUND YOUR FEET TO TRANSFORM FIXNDNS

it was great, truly, but it made the whole thing really embarrassing for you sometimes. in the heat of sudden battle, of course it was worth it. but in simple training? you made it a point to use the big bathroom stall before heading out.

that was until your class met the Wild, Wild Pussycats. youd known them beforehand already through some family connection,, and they very often encouraged you to embrace your quirk, but it wasn't until the training camp that'd gone sour that they basically forced you to embrace the anime girl power transition.

okay okay now into specifics

most of your class actually think you have a pretty cool quirk. some kind of wonder why such a "simple" quirk would be in class 1-a. it seemed more of a support quirk, not that anything was wrong with that, but it just confused them.

until they saw what you could do because kING-

YOUR CLAWS,, LIKE PURR, NO PUN INTENDED

you pack a mean scratch in your tranformed state, and your control over your tail on top of you incredibly enhanced hearing just makes you really really helpful in battle.

and outside of your transformed state, you're still very agile, have enhanced sense of smell, almost a 6th sense? of sensing wrong, and basically perfect balance. at least you always manage to land on your feet, even in your clumsiest of moments.

so you're a very strong hero, really, but... THE TRANSFORMATION NDNX

struggles not to stare and laugh a little everytime you transform but in an endearing way: denki, hagakure, mina

is mentally gassing you up 💅: aoyama, mina, momo, jirou, kirishima

stares @ you in a "what the fuck" way (not like "ew",, just always a little caught off guard): bakugou, shinsou, todoroki (he's not used to the glitter)

takes you 100% seriously: tsu, iida, koda, deku, ojiro, sato, sero, shoji, tokoyami, uraraka

BUT LIKE ANY OTHER ANIMAL QUIRK HEHEHEHE YES HERE COMES THE FLUFF AND CRACK

you're a catboy, ok? you need affection. but only on your terms, understood?

you get the urge out of nowhere to be around people. it doesn't matter if you're an introvert or extrovert normally, you need some sort of attention when that feline urge hits, ok? 😭 not overwhelming amounts of it, but just from one or two people that you're particularly close with.

and you happen to be particularly close with most people in your class.

koda knows what to do and doesn't make it a big deal because he gets it. he might be a little hesitant at first about it, just bc he's shy (i love this bb) but he's perfectly happy to let you lay down on the couch with your head touching his leg.

aoyama will pat your head and offer you cheese, sorry you can't change my mind. he doesn't confuse you for a rat or anything, he just doesn't much understand what to do other than hype you up so boom comfort cheese

mina loves platonic cuddles all times of the day, so they fs let you cuddle up to her and will give you head pats from time to time.

tsu probably isn't as comfortable? it's not about the trust between you two,, she will give you a head pat sometimes but not much else. is down to make a pillow fort w you and watch movies tho. this goes for hagakure, too.

katsuki... katsuki katsuki katsuki. 🧍 he will yell at you the first time,, but ends up feeling bad when you get all anxious and apologetic bc he was the only person available at the time. like you didn't wanna bother him and you felt so bad,, like you made him uncomfortable, so you didn't ask him again. but ome day,, eventually, he does come around and give you a head pat out of nowhere which makes you purr and wait, we're getting there-

iida and todoroki are p clueless. what the hell are they supposed to do? so you don't ask them. ever. but they don't mind having you around them, of course, though todoroki is still kind of awkward about it at first.

jirou and uraraka also enjoy platonic cuddles,, but not really as much as mina. these two will let you lean on them casually. sometimes you'll talk, other times you'll just chill, you know? it's nice :)

DENKI WILL NEVER PASS UP A CUDDLE OPPORTUNITY, OK??? he will cuddle w you and give your head pats and pets and oml they just aH yes.

kiri also enjoys cuddlesz he thinks they're vv manly! so yes, cuddles and also just spending time together. you will have your head on his lap and he will talk your ear off or let you talk his off

deku is v flustered at first. you kinda just went to him, sat on the floor next to him while he was studying in the dorm dining hall, and leaned your head on his leg (of course with a small pause to ask if it was ok). he ended up finding it p calming, though and he becomes one of your go-to ppl

ojirou, sato, and tokoyami p much all react the same. they don't mind having you around at all, but you don't ever ask for pats or cuddles and it's perfectly fine! but dark shadow will nuzzle you snd cuddle you sometimes,, can't change my mind-

SERO. my beloved. he will INITIATE platonic cuddles, do you understand? will pet and pat you,, sometimes even without thinking. you will lay your head on his lap while he plays nintendo switch.

momo. sigh... oh, momo 💕 she is not one for cuddles, but she will give you an occasional pat. and if you stim when anxious,, she will make you a lil kneeding toy thing to help you relax jfc i love her and you should, too-

and shinso? look, he's hesitant. but as your friendship grows, your trust does too, and it gets to a point where he'll initiate whether or not you need it (with consent, ofc!!). the pets take a little longer, but he loves cats and you're no exception :))

OKAY PURRING.

smiles a lil @ hearing you purr: aoyama, tusyu (these two always smilin 🧍), denki, kiri, deku, ojiro, jirou, momo

laughs a little endearingly: mina, sero, uraraka

thinks it's adorable (platonic still yall) but won't show it: katsuki, hagakure (sHE CANT BAHA-), iida, koda, mineta 🌈 (IM KIDDING), sato, shoji, todoroki, tokoyami, shinsou

purring can be kinda embarassing tbh. it's involuntary,, though you've been able to swallow them back or stifle them sometimes. it just makes you feel so weird? you've been picked on for it before so :(

you just don't wanna seem weak for it. you weren't, but those little bits and the tranformation stage made it really hard sometimes.

luckily, your class didn't hold back. they challenged you a lot. :))

and though sometimes you could be kinda snappy (as it was p much in your nature fr-)

you were their favorite catty companion

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

Hello there! Can I request a bakugou x male reader, where the reader gets pretty easily diatracted and they are very chaotic .Thank you!

bakugou and the embodiment of chaotic energy

pairing: katsuki bakugou x gn!reader (vague)

genre: F L U F F, a bit of comfort

warnings: fluffluffluffluffluff-

author's notes: no bc i was creating 3 new ocs and then i got on my phone for two seconds and now we're here so felt-

edit: TUMBLR WON'T SAVE MY FUCKING EDITS I HATE IT HERE

he literally is chaos, so this would be interesting.

you two met in 1-A, with you tranferring in during the last couple months.

despite your late transfer, it didn't take long at all for you to fall into place within the bakusquad. it was only natural with your chaotic nature.

the thing that caught everyone off guard, though, was when you and bakugou became official. you two were two balls of complete chaotic energy, though your energy was more in line with denki and mina while his was... chaos and war.

even people within the squad were a little worried. they knew you two were good with each other, but they worried about one of the symptoms of your chaos; your tendency to get distracted.

bakugou is very focused. he's focused on his goals, on his future, his hero work, his school work, and so on. he can easily shift his focus around and navigate his world (when he's not overwhelming himself), and most people expected him to seek a partner with the same habits.

but

nope.

well it's not that you don't have an ultimate focus, but you do regularly find yourself distracted from tasks at hand. it's easy to grab your attention, but difficult to keep it. you're regularly taking in and trying to process as much of the world around you as you can, living more in the moment. you look for the fun in the world (when appropriate) which is what leads to your chaos.

that's what people were concerned about; that those sides would clash and someone would end up getting hurt.

but

n O P E -

in fact, you balance each other out. yeah, it's all chaos, but it's a good mix of serious determination and light-hearted optimism.

there are many times where you gotta pull him in and remind him the present day exists, and times where he has to remind you that your future matters just as much as the now.

he does panic sometimes, though. it's not that he doesn't trust you, he just doesn't trust that you won't put yourself in harms way for some fun.

he and kiri caught you, mina, sero, and denki at a skatepark once with you sitting in a crate sero taped down onto a skateboard. they were about to push you down a ramp, too caught up in their own chaotic minds to process that maybe this wasn't a good idea-

"hey- is that- OI- SPARKY, GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF- !!"

"oh- hey, kiri and baku-!"

"GO [NAME]! WHOOP WHOOP-!"

"DON'T ENCOURAGE IT, RACOON EYES-"

he fucking sprints to you and gets you out before denki pushes you over the edge of the ramp.

"WOO- hEY-!!"

he has to explain that you probably would've gotten a concussion, but you're still angry that he stopped you.

it's okay, though, because you know it's out of care. you often have to do the same thing with him when it comes to training.

"hey- stop that-"

"huh-?"

"you're exhausted."

"what are you? a mind reader?"

"no, i'm a katsuki reader."

"...if i take a break, will you take a nap?"

"i don't need a nap-?"

PLEASE, THIS MAN ALMOST STRAIGHT UP FACE PALMS AND SCREAMS-

bc no you totally weren't chanting the cocomelon song (now considered, a classic) around an antique picture of vin diesel at 3 am 🧍

"babe. babe. bakugou. blasty. king explosion murder. dynamight. lord kacchan. burnt caramel scented candle-"

"what the hell-?"

"i said what i said- anyways, sero and denki are at mcdonald's, do you want anything-?"

"it's two thirty in the morning."

"so no?"

"no. that shit isn't good for you anyways."

"okay. well. i'm getting a happy meal-"

"wait, how did they go off campus this late?"

"underground."

"oh, okay- wait, wHAT-?!"

"stop changing the topic, i know you want some mickey d's-"

"[Name]-"

"oo, or kfc... did you know that american kfc's don't have the sandwiches-?"

"[Name]-"

"okay, okay. yeah. i hear you. i'm going to the common room to wait for them, text me if you change your mind-"

you...

what the fuck.

he loves you so much.

but please stop scaring the shit out of each other-

Gang orca x a male reader whos quirk is that he's really snake like. Winter is here and reader is getting super sluggish and sleepy bc of the cold! Please and thank you!!

gang orca with his sleepy snake sboyfriend

pairing: gang orca x male!reader (he/him)

genre: fluff, light comfort

warnings: gang orca, he needs a warning, he makes me have my happy shivers and i love him please love him he deserves it

author's note: i love this man so DAMN MUCH THANK YOU SM FOR THIS-

also, y'all, plz feek free to send in requests! i can't guarantee i'll get to them quick, but i will get to them. there are some that will take me longer for education/research purposes, but i want to be as inclusive as possible, and part of that is having an idea of what y'all would like to see. i love you all!! ❤️

EDIT: i came in to edit bc i wrote this at 2 am and i can see where the exhaustion started beating me-

so he's. a mammal. 🧍 he's warm-blooded. but that doesn't mean he hasn't built up a tolerance for extreme weather conditions. being a hero means working year-round, no excuses or real exceptions unless you're out of commission.

so when you two first met during a fight in the winter months, he was kinda confused as to how you became a hero- especially with how you quickly climbed the charts over the summer without even a slight issue.

you just seemed so... off. and it wasn't until afterwards that he even considered how your quirk effects your body. he was honestly surprised that you still had to be out there when your body was basically trying to get you to shut down just being out in that temperature.

"ah, pardon me if this is a rude question, but-"

"pardon me for cutting you off, but the answer is that i can still fight. i may be a little more sloppy, but we caught the villain, right?"

the way you only took a few moments to warm yourself before rushing back into action was when he first started feeling something.

and eventually you two started talking outside of work, getting to know each other and developing an incredibly deep bond over how you fear being outcasted because of how your quirks scare others off.

it grew. and it grew. and now, here you are, three years later living in the same apartment and proudly wearing the title of the oddest, most surprising power couple of your time.

obviously, after so long, he's educated ss to why you get the way you get in the cold. now his concern is trying to avoid that, especially during hero work.

at first it starts with gentle reminders when he's checked the weather.

reminders like:

"[Name], make sure to take your jacket."

"yeah, it's starting to get colder out. do you have the right clothes?"

"please make sure to take time to warm up when you can, alright, dear?"

but as it gets colder, s t r e s s.

but this is kugo sakamata. is he going to show you stress by smothering? no. no, instead:

cuddles.

HEAR ME OUT-

in the winter months, he's a lot more aware of the areas of the city you cover. he stays alert during patrolling to reassure himself that you aren't curled up in an alley starting to freeze to sleep-

a lot of times it can be frustrating to you because you want to be independent. you want to be able to do hero work without burdening others, especially the man you love most. but then you realize he has a point, and you're caught in this awkward space of wanting independence but needing help. :((

because of this, you start re-developing insecurities of your quirk, which sucks because you were just starting to get past them.

"uh- kugo?"

"hm?"

"you can't notice the - uh... the..."

"shedding?"

"yeah..."

he hates how much you look down on yourself and your quirk, and he honestly wishes he could change society.

a lot of times, he'll reassure you verbally

"you don't need to feel ashamed. it's natural."

"kugo- please-"

"i can't tell. i promise. but even if i could, it wouldn't matter. you're a hero, [Name]. if people can't get over the fact that it's part of the same amazing body of the hero who's saved hundreds - if not throusands - of lives, that's not your fault."

but other times, when he notices it's just not cutting it-

he'll cuddle you-

and in the winter? he's killing multiple birds with one stone (RIP hawks 😔)

not only does he get the satisfaction and reassurance of holding you, but you feel comforted and it's helping better regulate your body temperature. it works as a momentary state of brumation (i learned so much abt snakes bc of this i-) and you're able to relax against him as you soak in as much body heat necessary.

when he CAN'T be around to cuddle you, he makes sure 100% that:

you get cuddles when you get home. he will pull you into his arms as soon as you walk in, and at that point you give into it. most of the time you straight up fall asleep because your body feels two times more worn that it does on the worst summer days.

your winter uniform is always ready to go. he will never let you go on patrol on cold days without that gear. he's not controlling, but that's the one thing he just can't let you do. if your uniform for some reason isn't ready, you're staying home

"darling, it's my job. i have to go, winter outfit or not-"

"without your winter outfit, you won't be able to function on your way down the block, let alone through a fight."

"... i hate it when you're right... you really are such a dilf."

"dilf?"

"...nevermind... anyways, since i'm trapped, might as well keep me warm?"

he cuddles you until he HAS to go on patrol, and when that happens, he tucks you in with three big, warm blankets and adjusts the temperature control to keep the home extra warm for you.

before you move in, he gets a special mattress that also includes mild temperature control.

he literally does everything to make sure you stay warm.

if for any reason things don't work out, he will immediately know. other pros already know to contact him ASAP if they see you unable to perform.

he picks you up, takes you back to the agency, sits you by a heater and wraps one of his big suit jackets around you,,

so warm, so gentle 😩

and yes, hot chocolate/tea.

overall, 10/10, will cuddle you again

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

Hey I love your blog and wanted to submit a quirk! Thank you so much for doing our requests your an amazing writter ❤️❤️❤️

Ability: allows reader to shrink down things and people and return them back to full size when shrunk these items become much more dense and harder to damage. The drawback is that the item will slowly grow back to normal size and the power has to be reused they also have a limit to 4 things shrunk at a time not including themself.

reader is also extremely shy and when feeling flustered will accidently shrink themselves and get stuck until calmed down.

They are a 1A student who went to the same school as mina where she was their only freind but moved schools after parents split up.

YOU'RE EVERYTHING ANTMAN WANTED TO BE 😤😤😤

THEY LOVE YOU SM. LIKE. 😭

so your first day, right? you walk in, and you pretty much keep to yourself. and then you hear a loud gasp and your name before you're being tackled in a hug.

"[Your Name]! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU APPLIED!"

for a few moments, you stayed confused, and really tense. who was-?

you saw the horns, and really quickly you were pulling away to look at them and confirm.

"m-mina?!"

"YES-"

y'all it was so cute 😭 you were so damn happy, insisting on staying near her as much as possible and spending basically most of the day catching up on life with them.

your brightness on that day...

it drew so much attention to you 💀 BC THE SUNSHINE-

and when people realized that you were actually rather shy? damn, ok, they didn't know they had two red-faced cool-quirk main characters in their class 🙄

BUT FR YOUR QUIRK IS SO COOL TO THEM

IT'S KIND OF DISORIENTING THE FIRST TIME YOU USE IT IN BATTLE??? BC??? WHERE DID YOU GO, AND THEN THEY LOOK DOWN AND REALIZE YOU'RE ITTY BITTY AND I N V I N C I B L E.

and THEN YOU DO IT TO THEM? LIKE. OKAY HOLD ON.

the ones who demand you return them to normal: bakugou (feral), iida (egotistical attempted-murderer❤️), todoroki (would not like feeling so tiny, but can see tactical advantage)

the ones who never want to go back for like 10 min: mina, denki, koda (surprising, ik, but he'd be so excited to talk to the tiny animals 🥺), mineta (the fucking perv, his mind goes to how he can use it to spy)

the ones who are just utterly fascinated and want to team up w you more: asui, jiro, kiri (he'd be literally unbreakable fr), midoriya (nerd takes notes), sero, uraraka (she'd be so tiny and strong that she'd be able to get closer to people/things and make em float it'd be magical), momo (creations wouldn't be as big, but greeeat for escapes/stealth), shinso (he's already v stealth, but people are more likely to respond to a voice if they can't see where it's coming from like "who's there?" or smth)

those who be like 🧍: aoyama, toru, sato, shoji, ojiro (none of them know what to do w this so they just 🧍)

no matter their op on what it feels like,, they know it's actually a very very helpful quirk. people underestimate, and a lot even tease, but it's all fun and games until midoriya delivers a powerful, leg-breaking kick at 2 inches tall-

SERIOUSLY THO SOMETIMES IT'S SO FUNNY TO YALL

BC YOU'LL BARELY BE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER, AND THEN SOMEONE JUST GOES F L Y I N G ACROSS W THE SAME POWER AS A HIT IF THEY WERE BIG

IT'S GREAT

and the density does mess w you a little bit. you go from feeling really tense and tight to... not? it's strange, and can be harmful if you're not careful, but your class is always sure to help you when it gets you feeling out of whack

esp mina omg y'all besties fr 😭

ALSO TINY KACCHAN

TINY KACCHAN, AND HE GETS SO P I S S E D AND YOU GET ALL OVERWHELMED AND FLUSTERED BC HE'S YELLING AT YOU AND DEMANDING YOU CHANGE HIM BACK SND YOU'RE TRYING BUT THERE'S SM GOING ON

THAT YOU GO TINY TOO NOOOOO

and you both just like 🧍🧍 LIKE

HE WANTS TO KILL YOU.

everyone is seeing this bc yall are supposed to be training to work together,, but you're all flustered and small now because you feel bad and embarrassed that everyone was looking at you,, and now bakugou is tryna chase you around,, but eventually he starts getting bigger and

OK YALL CAN'T TELL ME TENTACOLE WOULDN'T TRY TO COMFORT YOU

LIKE 😭 HE'S SUCH A GOOD GUY, AND AN AMAZING FRIEND. YALL DONT HAVE TO BE MEGA CLOSE FOR HIM TO GENTLY ASSURE YOU THAT IT'S ALRIGHT AND HELP CALM YOU DOWN

the others try, but honestly only him, momo, and occasionally koda can. sometimes uraraka bc they're so naturally calming people that 😭

secretly tho,, the whole class thinks its a p adorable quirk of yours. like the way you can't hide when you get flustered

shinsou instinctively takes on the big brother role bc i said so, sorry not sorry. he knows you're strong and perfectly capable, but for some reason can't help for the life of him not seeing you as a younger sibling in need of protection, even if you're older.

BDNXN OK

so one time you're forced to work w mineta. and you make him tiny. but he gets T I N Y. AND HE ALMOST GETS STEPPED ON,, PLZ IT WOULDN'T KILL IT BC OF THE DENSITY BUT YOU CAN'T HELP BUT CRACK TF UP 😭😭😭

also yes the class can tell when you're pushing yourself too much

esp after seeing all the growth and progress everyone had been making (hell, even monoma was getting his time up) you started to get anxious abt your abilities

four things/people at a time besides yourself was still a pretty fresh step forward, and initially you were very proud, but over time it just felt like less and less of an accomplishment. yes, tou pressed for a fifth.

and no, it wasn't going well.

during one training,, you were REEEAAALLY pushing. and aizawa was trying to help you w that, but he didn't realize just how hard he was pushing bc... well, naturally, you being more reserved, you didn't say anything about it. he didn't notice until you were bordering tears, and rather uncharacteristically starting showing how hard you were straining out loud.

"ah-... AGH! I CAN- I- HH-!!"

he started calming the pressure, realizing that maybe this wasn't the greatest ideas. and then a fifth object started shrinking. you saw it, and pressed harder, the motivation driving you, but then the other objects started growing. why was this happening? they were supposed to go back to normal on their own, a new shrinking object isn't supposed to effect them. why the fucking hell was this-?

you didn't realize his quirk was being used on you until you relaxed for a moment and all four objects stayed the same size. you tried catching your breath and then were aware of the eyes on you and :(

as soon as he blinked, you were shrunk down.

yeah, it was...kinda awkward. and you wanted to hide forever.

but then

a couple of them, namely momo, shinsou, the dekusquad, koda, and tentacole, showed up at your door.

and they. they told you how awesome it was that you made that bit of progress. momo even made little toy versions of the things you'd shrunk, and suddenly you wanted to shrink again HRNDN

BC THEY WERE SO SWEET???

and the rest of the class obviously cheered you on the next training, and the next, and the ones after that.

they believed in you. but ultimately? they thought you were pretty fucking cool no matter what.

tiny tame thumbalin hero :D

gang orca comforting his frustrated partner

pairing: gang orca x gn!reader (they/them)

genre: fluff, comfort, angst at first

warnings: angst. kind of a breakdown.

author's note: this is a vent fic. feel free to skip. im okay, im just really tired. things are going up and down constantly and my brain can't catch up and AH ejdnns,, but ill have some fluffy stuff out again next. i had like a whole fic but 😀 it's GONE, thanks tumblr, so-

but im gonna make it another class 1a w/ specific quirk reader. :) i like those. soft.

so everything had been going to shit. 😀

but things had also been getting better. it was this weird, weird time for you. you'd gotten a nice raise, but you were expected to suck up to your boss and his bullshit for it. you'd finally gotten a day off, but had to use it to catch up on work that had been piling up over the past week. kugo had the time to sit down and enjoy dinner with you at a reasonable time, but later was called in for an emergency night shift. you had time home, but you were working or alone. or both. you felt so lonely.

your friends? busy, saving lives. no need to burden them. your family? uh... well- your boyfriend? also busy saving lives and with an equal if not larger work load than you. your boss? an asshole. and yourself? well... you didn't find yourself to be the best company.

you tried to avoid dealing with what was going on in your head, lasering in on work and responsibilities that didn't revolve around your well-being.

big oopsie.

you were strong. you are strong. no doubt about it. even as you stare at your computer screen at four thirty in the morning when sleep refuses to settle in, head blanking and eyes scanning over the last sentences you put down that made sense just seconds ago but now sounded like gibberish.

"the reports show increase in that when the increase shows... when-... when the increase shows..."

you try to make sense of it.

you can't. so you go up to the previous sentence.

"a whole percent higher than yes-... no, that's not-... fuck."

you start becoming a bit more aware, a bit more awake, but in a way that seems to drain you more. nothing is making sense, and numbers bounce around meaninglessly in your head.

"put it together. come on. click. click... fucking- click already, please-"

while you start to angrily blur together whatever the hell you'd written, you miss the careful, slipper-padded footsteps leading into the kitchen.

you stay there at the counter. everything is already so blurred by sleep deprivation that the fresh tears welling up don't alarm you.

"so stupid, it's so- it's simple, [Last Name], so simple just-"

your body uses all of its remaining energy and the fresh adrenaline to tense up before you're practically banging on backspace.

you're begging yourself in desperate mumbles to please, PLEASE make it make sense. it has to make sense, it does. it does, it does, it does, it does, it-

"dear?"

you feel like you snap your head up to see who it is, but it's dragging. you squint until you recognize the outline of your boyfriend standing across the counter from you.

"oh- uh- kugo... sorry, love, i was just finishing some-some work."

the tears spill over after a few blinks of adjustment and you rush to wipe them.

"yawn,"

you defend.

but he's not having it. he walks around to stand behind you before gently reaching and pulling the laptop shut.

you don't have the energy to stop him, but you try to argue as more tears follow.

"kugo- no, please, love. i need to- need to finish the paper, please. it's a simple report, i'll be in- i'll be in bed soon, i promise-"

by the end you're sputtering, unable to fight your tears or boyfriend as he lifts you bridal style from your seat. he doesn't speak, allowing you to get out your pleas and rebuttals.

you don't know when, but you're on the bed and in his arms, still trying to argue against him. it's then when he finally talks.

"sh... [Your Name], dear."

his tone, the emphasis on the last syllable, it lulls you into silence. how are you supposed to cut that off, huh? impossible, really.

it's just so warm, so earnest and drowning in an honest worry and guilt.

"you're upset right now. that's okay. you can be upset, and you can let it out. you can be frustrated."

now that you can cut off.

"you work so much more. do so much more. never get like this... 'm so sorry, kugo-"

and he hits you with it again, but this time you can't decide if you want to roll away or move in closer.

"i don't get like this because my work allows me to vent frustrations, and in moments where it doesn't, i think of you. you get me through so many days, dear. coming home to hold you, getting to see you and hear your voice during my night shift breaks-"

you decide to move in closer. you're still upset, though, that he's almost making you blish, but moreso that you feel worse. at first-

"but you, dear? you're always so busy working and giving your time to others that you never know what to do when you have moments for yourself. you take such good care of me. let me do the same for you."

you couldn't find your words. not at all. and so you press into his arms, curling up and letting him do this for you, letting him bring you back down to earth.

more tears fall but you're too tired to really cry or wipe them away. one of his clawed hands moves up and down your back, mumbling quiet phrases of assurance before he pulled the covers over the two of you.

"sweet dreams. i love you, darling."

he touches his lips to your head and you find yourself drifting off, safe and warm in his hold.

it was gonna be okay... yeah. you were gonna be okay.

his nerd :):

pairing: bakugou x gn!reader/broken!bkdk

genre: angst, fluff,,

warnings: angst,, broken heart deku

author's note: bakugou finally starts really opening up,, but... not to deku. no, he starts opening up to deku's best friend.

and hh,, au where 1a doesn't end in complete, total, mind-numbing angst 😀

also i started writing this a while ago,, but reading bkdk angst inspired me to finish it and

idk how i feel abt it? im sorry if it seems like rushed or everywhere? i wanna write more fluidly,, but i like my format. lemme know what yall think, sORRY FOR JUST LEAVING FOREVER AND THEN COMING TO MAKE YOU SAD BAHAH-

red is kiri, orange is baku, green is deku, black/white is reader

this was it, your first year of UA finally coming in to a close. it was hectic, tiring, and you were glad for the two month break you were about to enjoy to the absolute fullest. you were also glad you wouldn't have to experience your first high school break alone.

somewhere along the line, mina and uraraka started about how awesome it would be to have both friend groups team up again for a few days out by a beach. and then somewhere in that conversation, shoto monotonously remembered his family's unused beach house inherited from his grandparents. and how desperate his father was to redeem himself.

a few questions and calls later, and two weeks away from the last day, the plans for everyone to meet at the beach house the day after the last were set. it was going to be the best week of the year for them, they promised themselves, free of drama.

and you -- poor strung out, absolutely stressed and worked-to-death you -- were 10000% looking forward to it. you'd get to spend time with all your friends away from crazy adults in a remote area with nothing academic-related to plague your mind. you'd even get to rest your quirk which was taking so much of your energy as of late.

most of all, though, you were excited to spend time with your best friend and someone who you'd been getting... surprisingly close to.

the first, of course, was midoriya. you'd met him at the entrance exam and didn't hesitate to congratulate him, as well as praise him, the next time you saw him. you two formally met, nerded out over your quirks, and the rest was history. you backed each other up, dorked out over quirks, and got stronger as a team. and of course that led to getting to know quite a bit about the latter.

you met katsuki the first day of school. he was a jerk, came up with the laziest nickname for you, and absolutely 100% caught your attention for all the wrong reasons. and deku told you everything he was comfortable talking about with you as time went on, reiterating how painful having his best friend become his bully was. and the horrible things he'd said.

still. you could tell deku had lingering feelings. stupidly, you assumed THE FEELING WAS FRIENDSHIP😀-

it wasn't until the kidnap, though, that you realized just how important bakugou was to deku... and to you.

but to deku, he was like family, right?-

the bickering was annoying. the nicknames pissed you off. you hated when he talked shit to izuku. but respect had been building. and from that respect, a certain level of admiration. you took no shit but didn't feel the need to blow up to show that. he talked shit, but didn't hesitate to cut it out when you stood your ground. neither of you were helpless, you were both fighters, and you... understood where you were each coming from.

anyone could see where this was probably heading, but it still hit you like a truck when bakugou's kidnapping crumbled your hold world. of course you were part of the rescue team. and of course izuku was catching onto what was going on with you.

and the last few months of school reinforced it for him. you spent time with his childhood friend bully outside of class. bakugou was easier on deku with the insults already, but when you were around, they were lighthearted in nature. you two were making each other laugh, having inside jokes here and there, and you seemed to be growing naturally into the bakusquad.

and here, the last day of school, instead of going to your best friend first, you turned to bakugou.

"you ready for me to beat your ass?"

"in?"

"the swimming competition, blasty! your memory goin' out on you-?"

"oi, since when are you the one doing the bullying?"

"since you showed me how fun it is to be an asshole."

"fair enough, nerd."

and he ruffled your hair. ruffled. your. hair. where anyone could see, with a smirk on his face that didn't look like his planning-murder face. and you laughed, smiled, like you weren't being touched by the deadliest person in the class.

izuku watched, and though a part of him said to be happy for you, another made his heart sink. since when were you two so comfortable with each other? since when did he become your friend?

but you didn't know better. you said bye to bakugou and rushed to your best friend as if nothing happened, just talking about how excited you were to finish packing your things up on the walk to the dorms.

the time came when it was time to head out. it was early, and you were running on absolutely no sleep, but that was fine. you insisted that your adrenaline was enough to keep you up to at least get to the house and unpack.

LYING BITCH- (w respect 😗✌️)

you, midoriya, bakugou, and kirishima were in the same car, which made sense since you could all tolerate each other without commiting murder and it was the earliest drive out, the others insisting to wait a little longer.

"i still can't believe todoroki managed to convince his dad to let us use the house."

"old man's probably desperate."

"jeez, so i guess it hasn't been getting much better between them?"

"that's up to them, really. but icyhot's obviously trying."

"...that sounds like a line you stole from izuku."

and your best friend snorted out in surprise before catching himself.

"stealing lines from-? OI, WHY WOULD I EVER STEAL A STUPID LINE FROM THAT NERD-?!"

"ah, there you are-"

kiri and izuki cracked up, and you smiled as bakugou went on about how he would never want to take anything from the "stupid nerd."

"okay, okay, we get it; you're the almighty great king explosion murder and you'd never-"

"oi, i put that name up once, idiot. you put your stupid one up three times-"

"[Name] THE GREAT AND MIGHTY IS A FANTASTIC NAME-"

and again, the car erupted into laughter with the driver himself even smiling a little. and then izuku saw you two. bakugou was cracking a smile, a real genuine one with some chuckle in it, and you were beaming through your laughter, making eye contact. when was the last time he and bakugou had been like that with each other?

kirishima didn't let izuku sink into his thoughts, immediately jumping into the next subject; swimming. apparently the students of 1a couldn't possibly go a whole week without some sort of competition, and being on the beach, swimming sounded perfect. and for those looking to better explore their quirk vs their raw, quirkless strength since the first competition, this was even better.

okay, so maybe it wasn't free of ALL academic-related topics-

it wasn't going to be anything formal, and there was no prize, but good ol' fashioned competition never did anyone much harm! right?

come the third day on the beach, the swimming competition idea came back up. almost everyone agreed to participate except shoto, iida, and izuku. shoto just didn't quite feel like competing, iida was annoyed at the saltwater's effect on his boosters, and deku... well, you didn't quite know.

"you sure, midoriya? you've been talking about wanting to have another way to measure your quirk's progress. i know we don't really swim as heroes, and this is a break and all, but it wouldn't hurt to maybe have some fun with-"

"i'm sure, [Name]."

he gave you a smile to reassure you, but you saw the way his eyebrows pulled. you frowned and stepped closer to make the conversation a little more private, but then you were being yelled at.

"d-don't mean to rush you, but bakugou just threatened to blast the shore if we don't start soon-!"

"DAMN RIGHT I WILL! THESE DAMN IDIOTS MAKING ME WAIT FOR SOME LOUSY COMPETITION WE ALL KNOW I'M GONNA WIN-!"

you would normally smile, but your best friend didn't seem okay, and you couldn't even pinpoint why. the trip had been going great with only minor bumps here and there (denki basically forgot half of his things and someone almost broke an entire floor of the house-). but there was nothing that couldn't be fixed.

"izuki..."

"i'm fine, [Name], really. go kick some butt."

you were supposed to laugh, but didn't. you instead stepped away with extreme hesitance. it took another shout to get you to jog to place, right next to bakugou.

why couldn't you see how hard this was for izuki? how could you not realize that creating the bond that izuku had been aching for for years was making it so hard for him to smile? he wanted to be happy for you two. he knew where it would lead. but part of him hoped he was wrong.

unfortunately, he was about to be proven right.

iida counted down, everyone on the shoreline with their feet barely touching the water.

"three!"

"i'm gonna beat your ass, extra."

hearing his voice brought you back. you decided it was okay for you to push the worry to the back of your mind for a little while.

"extra? so we're regressing."

"two!"

"and pretty confident for someone who refuses a one on one match."

you'd asked him before, but he kept coming up with excuses. you knew it wasn't about his capability, but moreso probably about not wanting to break another rule in using the school pool without permission.

"i'd rather beat a whole group of idiots than just one."

"one-!"

and y'all were off. he obviously used his quirk the best he could, the buoy in the distance marking the spot.

everyone else was going hard. mina was utilizing her leg strength from dance, kiri was using his hardening to make his arms like paddles, denki was going on pure luck because he didn't want to electrocute everyone, tsui used her biological advantage, so on and so on.

and they were all giving a good fight, aiming for second because of how damn ahead bakugou already was. but you? you were aiming for first. you pushed your quirk to the max, eyes devoid of any sign that this was just for fun. you were gonna beat bakugou, not out of spite, but to be at the top. you weren't going to be left behind, no, and you had to prove you were an equal.

you wanted to be his equal.

at one point, you were at his heels. and then he pushed a little harder and you were left behind again. but rather than being discouraged, you pushed.

izuku watched his best friend from the shore, pain pushed aside by astonishment. it wasn't that he didn't recognize your talents and strengths, but this was kacchan you were catching up to. this was a lot, for anyone.

and as you got closer and closer to that damn rope, it hit him.

you'd grown so much with kacchan in ways he hadn't been able to in years. why? because you didn't take his shit. when you wanted something, you did everything you could to get it, and you understood that it wasn't mean. it was determined, and sometimes led to people describing you as merciless, but it was never mean. you understood what you deserved and were willing to hold yourself accountable the same way you held others accountable.

you understood kacchan better because you related to him, and vice versa.

you two made sense. you weren't complete opposites and you didn't have a whole list of past grievances to patch up. it was new, fresh, and the barrier was only personal. there wasn't a whole wiki-page worth of obstacles.

izuku watched the final moments and felt everything fall into place.

...

your hand brushed the rope a second before bakugou's did.

...

he, iida, and shoto watched, jaws slightly slack and eyes laser-focused on the number one. the other competitors were starting to inch in.

when you had your arm around the rope, pushing your hair back as you realized your victory, bakugou stared at you.

"holy shit did i-? i won?! I WON! SEE?! I TOLD YOU, BOOM BOY! I BEAT YOUR ASS!"

you had to laugh, one of great joy and self-satisfaction because oh jesus fuck, you just beat Bakugou Katsuki in a competition.

so you let out whoops and pumped a fist up the best you could in the water while continuing to laugh until you felt his stare.

"bakugou? hey, this just means im good in the water, nothing-"

"you're a nerd, you know that?"

and for another moment it was quiet, but as the others finally reached the rope, you broke out into more laughter.

and it'd been so damn long since you were this bright. the last time anyone had seen you this relaxed and happy was before the usj attack, and two things kind of hit the two childhood friends at once:

1) you were good at hiding whatever stress you were feeling. and that was scary, because that means that at some point you could've been on the edge of a break and they didn't even notice. they'd have to be more observant with you.

and perhaps the most devastating one,

2) katsuki made you happy.

and god,, that changed a lot for both of them, one who was watching from the shore, toes not even dipped in but feeling like he was drowing, and one who's feet couldn't reach the bottom but felt like he was walking on air.

the great dynamight couldn't help his grin even as the extras started swimming in towards them to congratulate you.

"fuckin' nerd..."

it's something uncharacteristically quiet from him, yet still edged with hesitance, and you find yourself repeating it over and over in your head. he also finds himself repeating it out loud throughout the trip:

once when he helps you get uo after you faceplant in the sand during a small volleyball match on the third, again when you almost burn the bacon for breakfast on the fourth, again when you and kaminari crash in the hall during a race to get to the bathroom on the sixth, and lastly when

well, when you two are sitting by the water at night on the seventh. when he's supposed to be asleep, internal clock already chastising him for staying up. when he's not supposed to be speaking so softly. when he's not supposed to enjoy how you inch a little closer with - still - a clear understanding that there were boundaries you couldn't just cross. no physical affection or contact, not unless you were both on the same page for it, and no bullshit sweet talk. he wasn't supposed to like it. he wasn't supposed to like you, and you knew that. and it scared him that you did.

"we don't need to call each other anything too different. we don't need to change each other. i know this is gonna be... this is gonna be something new for both of us. and i'm gonna be honest, it might not be what we want it to."

you both seemed to take a breath at that, but you at least worked up the courage to look at him while you continued.

"i'm probably gonna make myself look stupid once or twice... and i know you're gonna act like an idiot sometimes-"

"oi, what are you tryna say-?"

"i'm trying to say that i know you're going to try. you're too stubborn not to - that's a compliment - and i want you to know that i am, too."

"...fucking nerd."

and you knew from how softly he was speaking that it was him trying, even if he didn't look at you. it was him trying to listen - really listen - and let himself be okay with this, let himself feel like he deserves a shot.

and izuku knew from how he wasn't able to hear it as he watched from his window, unable to let it settle in his mind that he couldn't do anything about this aching, that he had to start trying to walk away. to let himself be okay with this.

you smile, laying back in the sand and closing your eyes as the moment washes over you, and it occurs to you that what bakugou said was absolutely perfect.

"...your nerd."

[imfiguringitoutlovely]

You said send requests so here’s one! I was thinking a Midoriya x he/him male reader. The prompt being is always a little cinnamon role but the second someone starts messing with Midoriya, they become the literal devil to defend their honor. And Midoriya just finds that hot. If that’s alright with you!

midoriya and the duality of his man

pairing: izuku midoriya x male!reader (he/him)

genre: fluff, MIDORIYA BRAINROT-

warnings: bullying towards reader/izuku, threats of violence (from reader), strong language (ish), season 3 spoilers

author's notes: I SCREAMED WHEN I READ THE REQUEST YESYESYES IZUKU W SCARY SUNSHINE BF HEHEHEHE IM WATCHING EP103 RN SO AHHH THIS WAS PERFECT TIMING

you're class 2-a at this point and yes, i know that canonically neito doesn't see aizawa vs dabi clone, but... this is an au kinda...sorta...so...IM SORRY-

ALSO i made the reader's quirk a mutation quirk of sorts; basic premise is that once eye contact is made, reader takes on the physical form of who their opponent fears the most (for ex, for Dabi, reader could morph into Endeavor and even take on his quirk, but the reader can only do with it what their opponent can recall in specific detail. it only lasts while the opponent is within a certain distance, or the details get "fuzzy" and start to wear off)

he. absolutely. fucking adores you. when izuku midoriya says "i love..", you better listen closely; he's being nice enough to give you the list of who you don't mess with.

but a lot of people seem to not catch onto that. they still won't catch on, either, but it's not that they don't learn; you don't let your boyfriend teach them.

see, he'd yell at them, attack their very s o u l. he's clearly very protective, and he'll do anything to keep you safe from anyone, emotionally and physically, from a worldwide-wanted villain to a petty school villain. but you wouldn't let him.

no, you - his absolutely ray of pure sunshine - refuse to let him get into fights for you. you insist on forgiving, forgetting, and moving on, and if it weren't for the bright smile you give right before hugging his arm, he would've insisted that it's impossible for him to do that.

but for you? nothing is impossible to do if it's for you.

so yes, izuku midoriya loves his sunshine boyfriend. he loves how bright his smile is, how tight his hugs are, how much fight he has on the battlefield, etc. etc.

but most of all he loves his heart. how could someone be so... sweet? so kind and gracious and loving.

(side note, Love Like You is the song for this relationship, hands down, i'm not taking rebuttals)

he loves you. so much. and because of how much he loves you, he assumes he knows most things about you; your favorite color, dessert, dinner, breakfast, snack, candy, handwriting, your little quirks - hell, the dude even knew all the things you disliked, down to the tiniest details.

so it comes as a huge surprise when one day he just sees this side of his sunshine boy that doesn't match up with everything else.

OKAY OKAY SO

he's seen you use your quirk. he knows how terrifying it can be, but he also knows that you don't necessarily enjoy having it. it's caused you a lot of pain, actually. for example, you used it on katsuki, and morphed into... katsuki. it fucked with his head for a long time, but it messed with yours, too...

but because of all of this, he's never seen you use it personally. it's only in battle.

except one day, some BITCH named monoma decides to be a bITCH- test your patience.

all you're trying to do is walk to class with your boyfriend, hands lightly swinging together. you're wearing your tie the way he does and he's wearing his properly for the first time, courtesy of you tying his and him tying yours.

it's early, and you hadn't really gotten much beauty rest the night before (which you owe to the great beautiful trauma™ from your quirk). izuku, too, is pretty sleepy since he snuck to your room after you texted him a jumbled mess of apologies for a nightmare you thought had actually occured irl. and all of this adds up to: monoma being extra annoying.

"ah, 'snap, crackle, pop' and the next boogie man." his voice is just scraping your eardrums, but you don't say anything about it. there's no use in giving into his teasing.

"good morning, monoma. i hope you've had a good morning." such grace, and your smile is so bright that if he wasn't a narcissistic abuser 🤬 sorry ive been all in on the gabbie hanna drama, this is a reference to her use of it, not actual narcissistic abuse, it...sUcks LMAO jerk, he would've stopped. but he is a jerk. so.

"i was, but then i was reminded of you and your class." izuku insists on continuing to walk, and you don't fight. but then- "to be honest, though, it does strike up another question for me." just keep walking... "one about you, midoriya."

that seems to strike something in you, though normally you would just walk a little faster. you pause and your muscles go all tense. still, you don't verbally respond.

"[Name]...?" midoriya notices your sudden shift in mood and his worry immediately starts building up. he barely even listens to monoma, his true attention all on you.

"is...his downfall on dear bakugou's shoulders alone?" your heart starts beating hard and your body feels cold all over. "or..." you manage to start refocusing when your boyfriend squeezes your hand. monoma has stopped walking, his voice a bit more distant. "if you'd been just a bit faster, a lot... better, do you think allmight would still be... well, allmight?"

that, you can tell, hits izuku like a truck. he stutters over his steps and chokes on his breath.

the insult, the hurt and shock in your boyfriend's eyes, the eyes you're used to looking up to that shine with fire, determination, they're... hurting.

you don't even know where it comes from, but you break your hand away as you whip around to face him.

"listen here." you don't notice your body shifting, don't realize that you teo have made eye contact and you're using your quirk without thinking. "you're going to stop talking... turn around... and leave us the fuck alone."

terror. and even thought he knows how your quirk works, he can't look away. he can't move. and he can't respond.

"did i stutter?" now his legs worked, and he uses them to stumble away. the other students in the hall couldn't seem to. their feet are rooted in the ground and they stay silent, and you have to look in a window reflective enough to see that you're dabi, melting. you hadn't been using his voice, though, apparently, likely because neito had seen this happen from inside and didn't hear him.

once realizing what you were doing, you force yourself back to your own physical form. your heart rate is starting to calm down, but you're sti red in the face with anger, so you stubbornly march back to your boyfriend's side and hug his arm.

"i-i'm sorry for that," you manage to mutter as your anger turns into both embarrassment and guilt. did he think you were a bully? just ad bad as monoma? did he think you were-?

"d-don't apolog-apologize." thinking it's fear, you look up at him hoping to read his face. much to your surprise, he's red, flustered.

"...'zuku?"

"y-yeah?"

"are you...blushing?"

"a-ah - i'm sorry, i've just never seen that side of you and it caught me off guard, but-but not in a bad way and-!!"

"no-no! izu, it's okay, don't be sorry, i'm sorry if it was overkill-!"

and you two fumble right outside your classroom, apologizing back and forth repeatedly until he blurts it out.

"i thought the way you stood up for me was-was hot!" and that has you both red in the face, not quite sure what to say next.

"...it didn't scare you?"

"i-i mean it... it looked like him, but it was you and your voice and your... it- i-" you sort of lean forward, hiding your face in his chest as the bell rings and successfully pulling him into a hug.

"i love you, 'zuku." he relaxes, hugs back, but the red wont go away.

"i-i love you, too..."

"mIDORIYA HAS THE HOTS FOR [NAME]-!"

"SHUT UP, PINKY-!"

You know what you should write? A Bakugou x trans male headcannon thingy(he/him pronouns). Why? No reason. I’m definitely not trans or anything. Nope.

bakugou with his amazing fantastic handsome absolutely perfect boyfriend who is trans

pairing: katsuki bakugou x male!reader (he/him)

genre: fluff, mega comfort

warnings: mentions of dysphoria

author's notes: yeah no bro ofc like no reason, i get you... i mean like. i mean no, i don't bc it's not like im trans or nb or anything nah bc... that's...kinda... sussy, yk? and im not sussy. i mean like. they/them isn't sussy. like. obviously...

i wrote this as someone who "doesn't pass" (which is so dumb, can we just ask ppls pronouns, it's not that hard 😩)

okay i mean it when i say it that the bakusquad are just... the best allies tbh (mostly bc they're all pretty uh... 🍐🥥🍐🍊🍐🍅🍐🍍🍑🥥...yknow-)

also if that upset you, you should go bc you're just mad that i'm right. they all bond over their involvement with the community.

that's why, when you came along, you kind of just fit in. not only were you able to handle and return the chaotic energy, but you all stood together (not to say anyone in class 1-a is not at least an ally, just that bakusquad is probably the most involved in the culture imo).

you caught bakugou's eyes, too, and it really wasn't very long until you two were official. it wasn't really said out loud, clearly stated, but one time he said 'i wouldnt mind being your boyfriend, i guess' and you two have been madly in love and close since.

seriously, just get married omg disaster gays 😩🏳️‍🌈

but in all seriousness, when you're ready to tell him you're trans, he's extremely supportive.

"thanks for letting me know. he-him?" he's still kind of grumbling, but it's much softer than usual.

you kinda stumble over what to say bc what? he's just... well, okay-

asks if there's anyone he should be more careful w your pronouns around, more specifically your parents.

if they're not accepting, it takes him every bit of strength and yours combines to stop him from blowing them up on the spot 💀

is kinda passive aggressive to them bc of it,, you have to remind him to bring it in a little at times

insists on keeping open communication, that no matter what name or pronouns or any label you go by, he's gonma support you.

"don't go and get all quiet like that nerd-"

"midoriya-?"

"yeah, deku. tell me how you really feel, i'm not some idiot loser, i'll understand-!!"

DOES HIS RESEARCH AS SOON AS YOU TELL HIM

he's very educated, but would rather go over everything to make sure he uses the proper and respectful terminology when asking you questions about what you're comfortable with

NO, he will not look at "scientific articles" or anything that's meant to "justify" or devalue your existence. he loves you, and if he could, honestly, he'd attack and take down anyone who questions your identity. he wants to understand how to respect it; it's not his business as to why you choose your labels.

YES, HE ASKS WHAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH

he understands that everyone experiences gender identity differently and doesn't want you to feel like you're not being heard as an individual.

one day he goes up to you, right, and when he's sure it's just you two talking (he doesn't want to have a public convo abt it because it's nobody else's business unless you decide it is) starts asking about boundaries.

"look, dork, i know i'm basically a god to all this planet's extras, but i can't really read minds and i don't want to pretend that i can. is there anything that you're uncomfortable with me saying or doing?'

"like...with...?"

"like with nicknames, titles...pet...names..."

"what was that last one-?"

"DON'T PUSH IT, DORK-!!"

if you're uncomfortable with him correcting other people for you when you're around, he won't. he knows that Identity is a really personal thing, and that he can get really really heated, so he'll let you tell him how to handle those situations.

as for when you're not around... he can't promise there won't be a body to hide if someone intentionally misgenders you, honestly.

PET NAMES GO BRRR (name: reason)

idiot: he's bakugou

dumbass: he's bakugou

dork: he's bakugou, and this is used often times w a more affectionate/admiring tone

jerk: he's bakugou, and he uses this mostly when he gets flustered bc it's a lil softer FKDKDK

he-man: (more in private) he will only use this if you let him. he hated people, obv, and he knows there's been people who call you a she-he (this totally isn't personal comfort for when i was going by he/him, not at all this isn't a traums response-). after people misgender you, if it's intentional, he'll often be near you and grumble about how they have no fucking right to talk shit about his he-man 😤

prince: once. it was a mocking thing at first because you were dramatically complaining about how boring a lesson was. but then. he noticed how flustered it got you.

king: well, "my king". mostly when he's being (on SUPER SUPER SUPER rare occasions) soft and talking about your future together. ("i don't wanna rule an entire world alone, so you're going to be my king. it's not a suggestion.")

handsome: he'll also call you "pretty" if you let him (bc he lives w the mantra that gender has nothing to do w compliments (unless you're uncomfy ofc)). both are mostly in private, though he'll occasionally call you handsome if he notices you maybe getting lost in your own head.

WHEN YOU'RE DYSPHORIC

he doesn't know gender dysphoria first hand, but he's read and heard about how horrible it can be. he also understands that it's different for everyone, and fully supports any SAFE way you choose to deal with it.

keyword: SAFE

if you bind during training, or for longer than safe, he will scold you. not publicly, ofc, but he'll pull you aside or even drag you to the bathroom or locker room once he notices.

if you don't bind, cool. how you present is none of his business, he finds you hot no matter what tbh

when it gets worse, he softens up a lot more when it comes to physical affection. he's not really comfortable with public affection as much, but he'll hold your hand more, pull you close when you sit next to him, and play with your hair from time to time.

in private, he'll cuddle you if you want. if not, he's all good with laying down next to you and being present for you.

pms? he'll do anything at all to make you comfortable (another thing he'll straight up ask you about so he knows how to keep you comfortable)

he uses a lot of pet names, ones that you're most comfortable with. heck, one time he straight up went kirishima-mode and told you how fuckin manly you are.

it's hard for him to directly compliment or be verbally affectionate, but he tries bc he fuckin loves you omg-

in short, you're the love of his life and he'll do anything for you tbh HRJDN-

author's notes: if im gonna be honest right now, im probably in the worst place mentally than I've been in a long time. but id be lying if i said this acc hasn't been saving me these past couple months. im sorry for how fuckin heavy this one is but i need to escape a little bit again. so. yeah uh. love y'all stay safe. like in others, do not read if you feel you're not in the right place mentally. 💛

Seriously. It's better at the end, but it's also written in first pov, so please please do not read unless you feel okay to.

hurt. hurt all over; in my chest, tight and consuming; aching and numbing up my hands that fail to stay steady while i stare dead at the ceiling; paralyzing my legs with this fear that no amount of adrenaline could help me run from. but mostly in my head, crashing around in my skull with every beat of my heart while my thoughts go from overwhelming fast to heart-stoppingly silent.

my ears have tried to block out all the noise with a disgusting ringing that only creates a thin filter at best. the words still go in, still process, but their usual blood-rushing ability has fallen second to my current realizations.

this could be it. they're fighting, bad, and there's nothing i can do to stop it from getting worse. i can tell the yelling is only the beginning for now, and that very soon, i could be choking on my last words.

i close my eyes. i allow myself the chance to get a full, fresh breath of air in. if this is it, im not going to go out fighting it. im not going to give another reason to pity me in passing. im tired of acting as if im not exhausted.

as the air reaches my lungs, my chest begins to relax. yet, despite my best efforts, the thrown furniture outside my door causes it to tighten again.

stunned, my breath gets caught, hard, and i begin to choke. i try coughing it out, but exhaling suddenly seems like an impossible task. the filters give and everything is happening at full force for the last time.

this is it. this is it. no, no. it's not supposed to be this way, i can't just-!

im surprised to wake up to screaming. it's loud, piercing, and it sounds like someone is being stabbed to death. i don't know where i am, who's room this is, or why everything feels different. i don't know if im dead, or if im still dying, slowly, and it's not until the room's door is forced open that i realize the screaming in my own.

my throat feels raw, and i am suddenly aware of how uncomfortably sweaty i am, and how hard it is to breathe while im crying like this. i'm still confused, though, and it takes several moments of groggy and quiet coaxing to come to. i still can't stop crying, though, and my chest feels tight. the screaming is done, though.

once i come to more - the tears beginning to slow as my panic becomes shame - i realize it's sensei aizawa who had come in. he's making me breathe with him, but from the way he isn't trying to ground my senses yet, it's clear that he understands he's dealing with the remains of my panic. the rest has been drawn back in as my eyes begin to go distant. dad probably told him about the importance of my calming down before focusing on complete presence.

in the process of depersonalization, i missed the fact that sensei stopped talking about a minute ago. now another voice was reaching to me, but this one managed to pull me back in.

"[Name]. this is kugo." i obviously don't call him kugo, but using it here helps way more than "dad". "aizawa," is all he has to say, and pretty soon sensei is walking out to give us some privacy. im pretty sure i hear someone getting caught and dragged away for being a snoop, but im too drawn in from the warmth in dad's voice to bother caring then.

"[Name]," he repeats. "you don't need to turn the camera on, but mine is on." i look down at the screen and realize i can see him. he looks tired, but he's not in bed or in pajamas. im too lost right now to lecture him. he's there. looking at me because i'm alive. and i'm in my dorm room here at UA and i'm talking to him, my dad, on my sensei's phone. "would you like to do some breathing exercises?"

i didn't respond at first, so he repeated it again. he wasn't angry. he was firm, sure of his words, but he wasn't yelling or raising his voice. it wasn't low, either. it was at the perfect volume to keep me tethered to some semblance of reality.

i shook my head. "would you like to use the spare mattress?" he had to make these suggestions for me. it wasn't that i couldn't make decisions for myself, but it was much easier for him to guide me through this. and the spare mstress is a pull out from the bed i was on that he got for me when he realized my tendency to fall asleep on the couch or floor after s nightmare. i decided that being a little closer to the ground and out of the nightmare mattress would be nice, so i nodded and stood.

i pulled the mattress out before i grabbed the phone again. i got my pillow before laying down. i didn't really want a blanket then. "would you like me to stay?" i put the phone on my chest and looked up at the ceiling. i was already starting to feel a bit more connected, though i knew it'd take much longer until i was back to my complete self.

"mhm," is all i could croak out, but it was met with clear affirmation that he'd heard me. this wasn't the first time this had happened.

nightmares were easy to miss when i'd stay up for hours to listen for anything that could be of risk; another bottle opening, another passive aggressive comment, another heavy pair of footsteps walking towards another tornado of a situation. now, though, that there was peace, i had the chance to sleep long enough to relive the hell.

so no, it wasn't a first and it wouldn't be a last. the guilt started rising to slap me hard into a mania-driven reality, but dad seemed to read my mind.

"you became aware a lot faster. that's a really good sign. you're doing great, son." it was all i needed to be able to close my eyes and not see that room again instantly. "tomorrow is wednesday, so i'll be there to see you after your classes and we can discuss what to take away from this. for now, i will stay on the line so you can rest again." i almost forgot that he was going to help organizing some things for internships, which meant getting to eat dinner with him, something he asked about a week prior.

see, he was the father who did all the research, spoke to all the specialists, and asked all the questions so he could be the best father possible. and when i did my work study with him, he may have become aware of my home life. he may have also done extensive research on how he could help, but after a couple months of staying in touch with me to ensure my safety, he decided to take matters into his own hands (after a lengthy conversation with me, of course.)

all this to say he knew about boundaries. he knew it wouldn't be easy to take in a teenage son whose life had been rooted in pain and neglect. but he was willing to do his fucking best. and so anything deemed a sign of affection or in relation to accepting him as my parent was off the table until i made it clear it was ok. we were moving forward on my terms.

he really was the best.

"i love you, dad." it came out monotonous, missing the warmth i intended to return, but they were still big words. they still hung in the air as i started drifting in and out of sleep, subconsciously fighting it off.

"i love you, too, [Name]."

Good morning (it’s 3 AM for me rn 😅) and I accidentally over-exerted myself (by studying for 7 hours straight) and am currently dealing with a massive headache that refuses to go away so now I can’t sleep...

Can you please write headcanons, a short story, or whatever you’d like of Gang Orca (I simp for the fish-man too 🙌) with an SO in my situation? It would be very much appreciated!

author's notes: GANG ORCA SIMPS UNITE I LOVE THIS MAN AND HH i sWear, i can never decide if i want to marry him or be adopted by him bc the dilf energy 😩

im also really sorry you're dealing with that. :( i know how absolutely horrible it feels to work yourself to the bone only to have your body punish you for it. please take care of yourself! you deserve to be mentally and physically healthy :)

from day one of you two dating, kugo made his admiration of your determination to work very clear. it was very important to him that his partner understood the importance of work and why it was, at times, harder for him to straighten out his work vs home priorities.

past partners had expected this luxurious, attention-filled life, but it just wasn't the reality of his work. he wasn't really home, and when he was, he was doing digital work. running a hero agency as the #12 hero took a lot more than saving a couple people a day, so his partner would have to accept that though they didn't come second, there would be times where work had to take priority. and you not only understood that, but lived in the same world as it.

because of this, though, he was also placed in the same position of those past partners. and god, now he realized how wearing it was emotionally.

this man loved you. you two were in it for the long, long, long run, so to see you work your health away made his heart ache terribly. it inspired him, actually, to give in and hire more employees soley devoted to paperwork so he didn't put the same worry up for you.

the problem of your restless nights still continued, though. you worked yourself to the bone everyday, all day. since you worked from home, from the minute you were up to the second you were forced to tap out, you were working. kugo would be in bed first after getting home, assuring you ate dinner, and getting ready for bed. you'd normally go to bed about half an hour after him and he'd be able to soothe you to sleep.

they weren't healthy hours, but he was glad you weren't fighting the sleep too much.

one night, though, you threw up a big middle finger to your body's needs. your boss had added more to your workload. you were far too close to a promotion (MY DUMBASS WROTE "upgrade" FIRST DJDNEKE) to stop now. you took it on, promising you'd knock out at least half before the next day.

you woke up, made coffee, helped kugo prepare his lunch, and then started on your work. he wasn't even out the door when you were in your first virtual meeting of the day which started ramping up his concern.

you went through several meetings, moving around the house at times to try and stay as comfortable as possible so you could get your work done effeciently.

you'd forgotten to eat, though, running on coffee and pure will. and fear of losing your job. your partner got home at around 10pm, walking up to where you were taking your seat at the breakfast bar in your kitchen. he made sure you knew he was there before hugging you from behind.

"darling?" he looked at your computer screen. "still working, dear?"

"mmhm..." you leaned back into his chest, but didn't pause your reading. "i ordered in ikayaki." you quickly gestured to the paper bag on the table. "it shouldn't be cold yet, it came in ten minutes ago."

he toom notice of the lack of utensils out and dishes in the sink. "have you eaten yet?"

"later."

"darling..." he let out a gentle sigh and pulled away. he didn't try moving you away from your work, instead opting to prepare your plate and setting it next to your laptop. "i understand how important today's work is in particular, but your health should always be your primary concern. i'll eat with you, too." he sat next to you without invading your space, not expecting a reply and not at all bothered when those expectations were met. he was happy when you ate some of your dinner, but found himself lost in worry again when he'd finished and you seemed to forget your own was there in the first place. "i'll be right back." he stood and went to get ready for bed.

after his shower and usual night routine, he went back to you to see thst you'd completely abandoned dinner and returned to your coffee. "isn't it a bit late for coffee?"

"almost done. couple more documents." he just hummed in understanding before taking his place on the couch a few feet away. something just didn't feel right. you were far less respondent than usual, and you were typing a lot faster. you were anxiously focused on the work at hand.

also, turns out "couple more" meant an entire large file's worth. kugo himself had started drifting off when he noticed you taking a break. he stood when he realized it was too the medicine cabinet.

"sweetheart?"

"headache," you whispered, more to yourself. the lights just seemed brighter, and your laptop looked kinda blurry. your head was started to pulse painfully.

"you've had a lot of caffeine." he didn't have to see every cup you put down to know. "and im assuming you haven't had a proper meal today. that paired with hardly any amount of break time is a recipe for extreme discomfort." he helped you read the pain medication and got out a safe dose for your headache. he grabbed a waterbottle, too, and handed it to you. "you can finish dinner in bed."

"kugo." you took the medication and water. "i need to finish this file."

"you need to rest. you've been pushing yourself extremely hard these past few months and your body can't handle so much stress. please." he let you take the pills before touching his nose to your head. "i don't go in to the agency tomorrow. i can help you catch up in the morning, and then we can go to lunch together, hm?" it's been quite a while since you two'd been on a date.

you toom a while and considered your options. you were about to decline, but then another wave of violent pulsing hit. you sighed out shakily and closed your eyes to block out the agitating kitchen lights. "yeah um... can-can you save my document before turning the laptop off, please?"

he agreed and did so. he also picked you up while you were on your way to the bedroom. you didn't jump or push. this wasn't uncommon for you two, and neither was his pokite question of whether or not he had permission to help you get dressed into your pajamas. once you were ready for bed, he even tucked you in before making sure the home's security system was set.

once everything was ready, he went back to the bed and climbed in with you. the bed dipped significantly which you took as your sign to move to basically lay on top of him he loved it when you did that, though.

"feeling better, dear?" he ran a hand up and down your back to try and ease your obvious nerves.

"mh... my head..."

it was a long night. with the way your head was hurting, it took hours and hours for you to be able to rest at all. in the morning, though, he allowed you to sleep in, even joining you after his ten minutes of being awake.

this became something of a ritual, though he tried to catch things before they got to the point where you were in pain.

he would come home, make sure you ate and drank water, got some rest, and would do anything to help you relax. sometimes he'd hold you on the couch on his lap, other times he'd hold you in bed. hell, one time you fell asleep in the bath while he gave you a glorious scalp massage. of course you returned the sentiment, making sure he got as much rest as possible in the morning, making him breakfast, and calling into his job at times to check up on him.

yes, you two were workaholics. but you two would work through it together.

or

rest.

or

wait no

wait-
