Safe with me

Pro Hero!Midoriya Izuku x Fem!Reader

Fandom: My Hero Academia | Pro Hero AU | SFW

Summary: When you try to leave the apartment a little too early, Deku gets a feeling that things are amiss.

Warnings: Angst/Comfort | Family Drama | Emotional-Verbal Abuse | Isolation | Depressing themes

Author’s Note: Probably a bit much....oh, well. 

Word Count: 2100

"Y/N...is something wrong?"

You almost made it out the door. The twisted handle had already clicked and it would've been so easy to step outside of the apartment and avoid the conversation. There was a hammering in your chest that you weren't entirely certain your boyfriend couldn't hear. You didn't want to make him worry so you schooled your face into a neutral position before turning toward him.

"I'm fine, promise!" You curved the corners of your lips, praying to God he'd buy your smile.

Izuku looked up at you from where he reclined on the sweetheart sofa he'd bought shortly after receiving his #1 Pro hero bonus check last year.  He closed the All Might comic he'd been reading and set it on the coffee table. "I'm glad you're ok, but I'm a little sad. I finally have time off from patrol and you're already heading out the door. I hope the katsudon I cooked wasn't that awful."

"No, no that's not it. You know I love your cooking! ..I'm sorry, I-." Your fingers slipped from the handle as you bit your lip. "I didn't mean to avoid you but some stuff happened at home that I need to...take care of."

"I see." Izuku's brows furrowed but he didn't protest. "One last kiss before you go?"

Your feet moved on autopilot to the center of the living room where he sat, socks scuffing the carpet before your knees brushed against his. He offered two scarred hands to rest yours within as he sat up. You didn't have to bend too far, he met you half-way as he captured your plush lips with his own.

The kiss spoke of gentleness and understanding.

He tasted like love.

The way his thumbs brushed against the backs of your palms made you hesitant to part from him, but whether you wanted to or not, you couldn't run away from your problems.

You had to go home.

You didn't want to become a burden.

Sure he was a hero. but not everyone could be saved.

Sometimes you had to slay your own dragons.

You broke the kiss, ready to make your departure with one last reassuring squeeze of his hands. "I'll text you when I make it ho-."

A high-pitched squeal escaped your mouth as Izuku gripped your hands and pulled you onto his lap. He wrapped is arms around your waist as he reclined into the cushions once again. You were trapped in his embrace and -considering the angle at which he held you- gravity was not on your side.

"Izuku! I really have to go-"

"Your lips were trembling." It was an astute observation. A matter-of-fact statement he breathed into your hair causing you to freeze. "Tell me what's bothering you."

"I...I-" You didn't know where to start. You felt like you were on the peripheral of everything. Sidelined as you watched your life spiral beyond control.

You tried to hold back your emotions. It wouldn't be fair to dump a bucket of angst all over his day off. If you paused a bit longer before you spoke, you might be able to keep your voice from cracking. He couldn't read your expression if you buried your face into his chest, so you indulged yourself in his earthy scent while you tried to calm yourself.

"It's ok." He stroked your hair and rubbed your back as he patiently waited for you to open up. "You're very dear to me Y/N. I want you to know... no matter what happens out there, you'll always have a safe place with me."

You hiccuped before you could catch yourself.

The seal was broken.

You went limp, your soft body meddling against his strong build as a subtle wetness slid down your cheek. Quiet sniffles led to sobs and Izuku holding you tighter against his chest.

"Shhh, it's ok." He whispered. He strummed his fingers against your arm and back. "You're safe with me."

You laid like that until you gathered enough strength to grip his tear-dampened shirt and look up at him. "My aunt spread rumors about me again."

"Oh." Izuku frowned. "That aunt."

"Yea." You sniffed. "I'm trying fix the situation but no one will listen to me."

Izuku sighed.

You hated to unload on him. If you had a choice you would've spared him the drama. He was the #1 hero surely he had more important things to worry about than your family drama. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry you about something so frivolous like-"

"It's not frivolous if it has you this upset." Izuku paused for a moment. You could see the wheels turning in his head before he spoke carefully. "Is there anything else that has you worried?"

You made a hard swallow.

Bingo.

Recognition etched onto his face, as he had hit the nail on the head.

"...my brother went ballistic over it." You closed your eyes but the tears didn't stop. "At first I was scared. I didn't know anything was wrong until I was woken up by bangs on my window and him screaming at me. He didn't hurt me, but... "

As your voice trailed off, Izuku held his breath.

"I didn't open the door. It felt like I was trapped in one of those villain horror movies. It was scary and.. I just don't feel like it should have been that way. He came at me at 100% over something my aunt said... while she couldn't even be bothered to talk to me at all."

You wiped your eyes and continued. "I've always had to go after her to make sure things are ok but...she hardly gives me the time of day. She's never really wanted to talk to me but that doesn't stop her from talking to everyone else about me."

"She's an idiot.

You gave him a wry smile. "Yes, an idiot who has managed to destroy my relationship with my brother and convince everyone else that I'm a liar...It just sucks because I was never really able to build close relationships with my family. Everyone lived in Musutafu but my dad's job moved overseas so I grew up abroad. I only got to see the rest of our family once a year. All my cousins, aunts, and uncles are so close to each other...and then there's me. I thought that moving here after school might give me a chance to get to know them better but it feels like there's a wall between me and them... and I think there always will be."

"I'm so sorry."

"I can't change what they think of me, but I won't back down from what I know is true.. "

Izuku allowed your words to settle before he spoke. "You're really breaking my heart, princess. It sounds like...your aunt pieced together her own version of you in her mind."

"-No one else knows me well enough to tell the difference." You sighed.

Izuku cupped your cheek so that you could stare into his eyes. "You're not a villain. Let her keep that mythological character to herself. Don't let it crawl its way in here."

Izuku's finger grazed over your heart as he continued. "And... your brother was wrong. My Dad left my mom and I here in Musutafu when I was younger, so I was always the man of the house. It was up to me to take care of my mother. If I had a sister... I would have taken care of her too. I couldn't imagine doing anything that would make her feel like she couldn't come to me for protection. Even if someone had said something crazy about her, I would have spoken to her so that I could get a full understanding the situation."

You let your cheek rest over his heart as he spoke.

"The problem with rumors is, they tend to snowball." There was a thoughtful pause before he continued. "Have you ever played the game 'Telephone' ?"

"Yes." You knew the game. When you were in grade school, your homeroom teacher would set your classmates in a line and whisper something to whoever was at the front, who then passed the same information to the next person until the last person in line had been given the message. By the time the teacher asked what everyone had heard, there were multiple answers that were nothing a like.

"Good." Izuku sounded pleased. "Then you know, rumors aren't a reliable source information. We get tips at our Hero agency all the time but I can't just run off, breaking into people's homes and businesses without scrutinizing our sources. We also consider possible motives behind a message. Can you imagine how many innocent people could be hurt if we didn't? Not to mention the lawsuits! "

"Kaachan almost got wrapped into swatting prank. He pitched a fit when he wound up at a nursing home. Thank goodness he never skips on analyzing mission briefs. There were conflicting details in the report and he flagged the investigative team to vet their informant. Turned out, it was all a part of some elderly lovers' spat that could've cost him his Hero license. Apparently an old lady wanted to scare the other, out of spite."

"Yikes." Of course, that made sense. Swatting attempts were far too common these  days.

"Yeah, Kaachan was pissed. I had to hold him back from cussing her out." Izuku sighed."But that's not my point. If there were anything that upset me, I'd talk to you about it and... I hope you'd do the same for me. We couldn't cultivate our relationship if we didn't speak. I wouldn't go to Kaachan or Uraraka to complain. There'd be no point to it aside from hurting and alienating you. That's not love. "

You sighed against his chest.

"Y/n, are you still with me?"

You stayed quiet as you mulled over what he said.

"Y/N." Izuku smoothed his thumb over your baby hairs. "Darling."

He kissed your forehead.

"No, it isn't love." You responded weakly as your tears soaked his shirt. You were a mess. "Izuku... I don't know what to hold onto any more. I keep wanting people who don't want me. I always feel like I'm on the outside of everything in my life."

You blinked when a few wet droplets landed on your forehead.

"I...don't want you to feel that way. Seeing you like this breaks my heart. I'm sorry that you feel alone right now, but I need you to know that you aren't."

Izuku placed your hand over his chest, entwining his fingers with yours. "Even if you feel like its difficult to connect to others, it won't always be that way. Even if it's not your relatives, family goes beyond blood. If nothing else, you have a home with me. I want you to know that you are in my heart and, it may be selfish...but I don't plan on letting you out anytime soon."

Izuku hugged you tightly. "And if you feel too weak to hold on, even to me...I won't let you go. I've gone through too much training, lived through too many things..loneliness, lies about myself, what I'm worth, or what I can obtain..."

You felt Izuku's fist clench next to you.

He took a deep breath. "After all this time of exceeding my limits... I won't let you slip away from me. If there's a wall I need to break, that's keeping you locked away, I'll turn it to dust. Full Cowling or, even with my old quirkless hands..I don't care what I have to do, or how many bones I'd need to break to make sure that you're never alone again. If I let the person I loved feel unreachable...how could I call myself a Hero?"

"Izuku.."

"Now... I can't change the way your aunt treats you. If she chooses not to speak to you, that's her loss. Maybe she doesn't deserve to know you if she's not willing to make the effort. And the others... give it a little time to blow over then maybe you can try to reach out again. If you need support, I'm nothing but a text away, ok?"

"mhmm."

"Don't let other people's version of you distort the way that you see yourself. Y/N, You're not a bad person."

You were really failing at hold back the tears. "Izuku.."

"Let me rephrase that." He chuckled. "You are a loved person."

The world was more than blurry with the tears brimming over your eyes. "I don't really want to go."

"Then stay."

Bakugou kicks stuff a lot, not without purpose. what i mean is that he uses his feet for things like opening doors and moving stuff instead of his hands. (like non-bakugous)

At first i chalked it up to him being true to his delinquent facade but what if he used to doing it that way? it would've been difficult to control his quirk in the early days so he started to stuff his hands into his pocket and open doors with his feet to reduce property damage around the house and it turned into a habit.

josuke & yasuho, ultra jump 2012 issue #1.

[writing-anomaly]

He thought about all of it.

He remembered every wrong way he treated Deku.

He let it push him forward, to save his longest known friend. The only person who ever showed him unconditional love and support.

I..i can't do this..

Current works in progress

“Finished” isn’t a word count but I’m working on it and improving on the structure of my stories. I plan to have something posted this weekend, most likely the mermaid story, since I had a sudden burst of inspiration.

6,409 words into the second half of the “Mermaid quirk” story. (Izuku x reader)

5,352 words into Chapter 11 of “Torn” (Jojolion)

6,966 words into Chapter 3 of “Underground”                                          (Switching some details around, toying with with the idea of mixing in a certain MHA AU I recently discovered that’s kinda giving me life.)

I have other fictions in the works, but I’ll start with these.

[writing-anomaly]

OMG. I never thought about detailing for shoes, but it makes sense since quirkless people are supposed to have an extra joint in their pinky toes. 

Why wouldn’t they need slightly different support? 

My mind is blown.

whats the shoe theory

deku and nezu have the same kind of shoe (when hori is known for having small details like that different)

and people like to connect them further to the noumu’s because the noumu’s shoes, while different, are kinda similar as well. different shoes to support quirkless/mutated feet because of experiments, maybe?

Torn

Fandom:  Jojolion

Summary: Yasuho’s life is tearing at the seams. The volatile Rokakaka trade is catching up to them and when Josuke unravels, Yasuho  is pushed to her limit. She’s left more vulnerable than ever as she struggles to protect two men who barely know her.

This a story in which the protected must become the protector.

Chapter 9

Warning!!! NSFW-ish content in this chapter

Author’s Note: 

Had this sitting around for a while. Forgot to post to Tumblr..like a dunce.lol

My bad. 

The journey to the room was uneventful, but when Josuke's fingers met the door handle, he was ready for anything.

"Soft and Wet," he whispered, pushing the office door open, fists up for a brawl.  

"Oh, hey Josuke!" The door swung open to Yasuho, swinging in circles upon a small stool.

Definitely not the sight he imagined.

Without a word, he pushed through the entrance, gingerly grasping a hand around her wrist to hoist her up to her feet. One by one, Josuke gently twisted and turned her arms, checking for damage.

She didn't appear hurt.

No scratches, nor bruised flesh..

He twirled her slowly, as if for a waltz, ignoring her puzzled expression in order to inspect her from behind. Calloused fingers ran along her spine to her lower back before she squeaked, turning around to swat him away.

"Josuke, what are yo-"

"Yasuho!" Satisfied, Josuke finally wrapped his arms around her, anchoring her small frame to his chest, as if she'd be blown away by a slight draft. "What's going on? When you sent me that text I was so worried something had happened to you.."

"There's nothing to worry about," She giggled, pulling away to look at him directly. Her smile was carefree as she licked her lips. "I just wanted to show you something you might be interested in."

Her eyes looked a little red.

Had she been crying?

He'd make a point to ask her about it later. But for now..

"I saw. Where is he? I mean... me." Josuke furrowed his brow, not sure if he phrased it correctly.

Just how should he refer to Yoshikage Kira..

Was he him?

Should Kira be considered a father who gave birth to him?

No, that wasn't right.

Kira was him, partially.

So Josuke tried again, "Where am I?"

"You're right here, silly." Tapping the tip of his nose; Rosette hair tickled his cheek as Yasuho pushed her body into him.

Josuke gave little resistance, taking a step back as her hand braced her weight against his broad chest, allowing himself to be pushed back against the door, which closed shut behind him.

"You're here with me." Yasuho nuzzled her face in to the crook of his neck, fingers grazing along the white fibers of his sailor shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles. She hummed in contentment, as she explored the dark stripes of his collar, to sling her arms over his broad shoulders, the softness of her chest pushing into his unrelenting build.

Josuke was taken aback.

They'd been affectionate before, but Yasuho had never been this forward with him about it. She wasn't exactly a wallflower, but she tended to be sheepish about initiating contact. It sometimes made him wonder if it had something to do with not wanting to be poked again like the first time they hugged. He'd always needed to remind himself that poking her was a bad thing, and made her uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, Josuke returned the hug, happy for the contact. Her warmth felt like the missing piece to his broken existence. Since he awoke at the wall eyes, his life had been nothing but piecing together some semblance of who he used to be..or who he should be..

Every answer gave birth to several more questions.

And everyone who held an answer, had something else to hide.

Yasuho was the only constant in his life.

As grateful as he was to Norisuke-san, he knew that he'd never fully be able to trust the man. The same went for the majority of the Higashikata family. Despite being adopted and sheltered under their name, Josuke knew he'd never truly be one of them. And while he had his own goals, their conflict of interests were growing more apparent by the day. Masked by charades of hospitality, their end game goals were the same:

Claim the Rokakaka.

And for that, he'd never let his guard down around them.He'd do whatever it took to save Holly-san because in his heart, he knew he was born to save her. If he couldn't do that, then his entire existence was in vain.

Yasuho understood that. That's why she was the only person he could trust without reservation. When complexity of the world consumed him, Yasuho made herself a buffer until he could understand what was going on. From the beginning she'd led him by the hand, asking for nothing in return. Helping him find his identities, picking up clues on how to save his mother, coming around just for the sake of seeing him. It was odd, but it was nice.

He liked that.

He liked her..and it felt right.

He couldn't speak much from his experience with human relations but something about her made the achy-ness of not knowing what he didn't know, just a little lighter. As if the weight of Kira and Josefumi's world wasn't as unbearable.

She knew him.

Not Kira, not Josefumi.

Just...Josuke Higashikata.

And she treated him like he was enough, even without the rokakaka. With her, he had value. He had a cause outside of that forbidden fruit. Yasuho was the only one he'd never let go of...and she clung to him too, even when that meant staring into the face of death. Unfortunately, the target on his back was contagious and led her into danger, more times than he ever liked.

So in his heart, he swore to always protect her.

Always.

"Ya-Yasuho..." Breathless, Josuke could feel his heart take off again, for different reasons, when delicate fingers slid beneath the hem of his shirt causing his stomach to recoil as they feathered along the groves of his abdomen. He was relying on the door more and more to hold up his weight as Yasuho peppered kisses along his collarbone.

The hospital wasn't the place for this sort of thing, but then her fingers dipped against his pelvis causing a low groan to drown out any protest ready to fall from his lips.

oh, no.

"Aaah-ah! Yasuhoo, we need to-"

He felt something happening again...near his groin.

It was starting to twitch.

He didn't want to scare her away again..

"Josuke?" Her voice, innocently questioned.

"Mmmm, mmmn...not h-here.." He opened his eyes, flourescent light suddenly making him feel exposed. It took all of his self control to grip Yasuho's shoulders and pry her back, but her hands gripped him with a surprising force. "F-fuck. Yasuho what is with you??!"

Josuke was becoming more unsettled by the moment.

He needed to get out of there asap.

He needed to get her out of there.

Josuke pushed past Yasuho, and began rummaging the contents of the desk behind her. Notepads full of chicken scratch, pens, and wastes bags, disinterested him. He Turned to Yasuho. "Where's the body?"

"What body?" Yasuho rocked on the heels of her feet, swaying her arms playfully.

"What body??!! You sent me a picture of Kira!"

"That was just a picture. I was dropping off lunch for my dad, and got a little curious." She sauntered over to reach an arm past him and clicked the power button of the computer. She observed the machine's last breath before continuing, "..just thought you'd appreciate the pic. It's not exactly public record but the government likes to take pictures of bodies before they send them off for cremation. Consider it a keepsake."

Josuke fixed her with a scowl. He looked from the blank computer screen to the hand she placed on his shoulder. "Where is he?"

"Didn't you hear me, it's just a pict-"

She couldn't finished her sentence before he shoved Joshuu's phone in her face. "You see this picture?" Josuke's finger trailed the screen until it reached the corner tapping it for good measure. He then grabbed her hand, inspecting the yellow and black-striped nail design that matched the hand gripping the railing next to Kira Yoshikage's body.

"Stop messing with me." his tone was dangerous. "..Whoever you are."

She stared blankly a few moments before speaking carefully.

"Josuke, please... don't joke.. you're not forgetting me, are you?" Only then, did Yasuho's expression falter. Her lips quivered, "How could you?"

The disappointment in her voice, nearly broke him.

Almost.

Yasuho's eyes were pleading as she loosened his grip on her wrist, and guided his palm to her cheek. She rubbed her warmth against him, parting her lips before she closed the distance between them. "Let me help you remember.."

Her breath was warm on his lips before he cupped her face, sliding his thumb under her chin for good measure and effectively stopping her advance. Her squishy face would have been comical under other circumstances, but he levied her with blunt expression.

"Yasuho would never lie to me," He squeezed harder with each syllable.

 "Where. Is. She?"
