Hi! Can I request a bucky Barnes one shot with the line “I think that you’re not as dark as you want people to believe” please?
a/n: yup yup !! i hope you enjoy <333 I kinda went overboard on this one hehe,, feel free to send in some bucky requests !! pls tell me what u guys think !!
word count: 5.1k ,,, i said it was long,,
minor faws spoilers ?
bucky paints himself as a villain, someone to avoid at all costs. you think he’s too scared to admit how soft he really is.
masterlist
A groan escaped your lips as you mindlessly moved your hand around, trying to find where your phone was in order to turn off your alarm. You sighed as you finally found it quickly shutting it off and closing your eyes again. You lay there with an empty mind, sleep about to over come you again, thoughts of soft sheets and cozy couch- ding! ding! ding!
You jumped up in surprise, heart racing as your second alarm went off. Rubbing your eyes you tumbled out of bed, shuffling to the restroom to change and get your morning started. You headed out the door of your apartment, locking it quickly before going to work, taking notice of the uhaul truck parked outside.
As the day went by you went through the motions of your day, you were itching to get back home, eager to see if you had new neighbors or not. The last time you had neighbors it was a sweet old man, he brought you banana bread when he first moved in, telling you he hoped to be a good neighbor to you.
You had grown close to him, Stan, soon thinking of him like your own grandpa, but he moved away to live with one of her children. He had taught you to be more level headed and less stubborn and always treat other with kindness.
The thought of him warmed your heart, deciding then that if you had a new neighbor you would bake them some banana bread as a welcome gift, you hoped they were around your age since you didn’t have many friends and most of them were too busy half the time to hang out with you.
As you returned home, the door for the apartment next door was wide open and you could hear voices talking while boxes were moved around.
“Steve i can move it on my own youll break your back trying” a deep voice spoke, another one followed, this one lighter and raspier.
“you and i are the same age shut up” the other man spoke. You smiled as the two bickered, probably a son and his dad or grandfather you guessed.
You changed quickly, taking note of missing ingredients for your banana bread and headed to the store, giddy to meet your new neighbors. You had never been outgoing, throughout college you barely made any friends because you were too scared to talk to strangers, but you were trying to turn a new leaf now.
After paying and heading back to your apartment you quickly got to work, mashing bananas and singing along to your music. Finally popping the bread into the over and sitting on your couch, it was already 8 pm so you hoped your new neighbors would still be up, or else you would have to wait until tomorrow and you didn’t want to give them cold bread.
As the oven dinged and you made sure the bread was perfectly cooked you grinned ear to ear, taking it out and placing it on a plate you had bought earlier, the sides were adorned with a simple but cute floral design and you hoped they liked it.
You were about to head out the door when you took note of your outfit, you but your lip and decided to change clothes quickly, putting on some looser jeans, a white t shirt and a thin sweater.
You grabbed the plate and headed out, listening to see if there was any sound coming from the apartment, luckily you could hear the tv, they were watching a soccer game.
“okay okay, just knock say hello, bread then go easy!” You whispered you yourself, heart racing and palms getting sweaty. You backed away from the door slowly, nerves getting the best of you.
“No i can do this i can do this!” You scolded yourself, in one swift motion you knocked on the door before you could think. You face falling as you realized you had actually knocked, what if it was too loud? What if they thought you were rude now and that you were- oh, wow.
The door opened and there stood none other than Bucky Barnes. You recognized him quickly since he was all over your timeline on Twitter, everyone gushing about how hot he was and how he deserved better. Your mind was blank now that he looked down at you.
“can i help you?” He asked, looking at you and then at the bread, and then back at you. Your eyes widened and you nodded.
“oh yes! bread! I mean heres bread! i made it- here is some bread that i made as a welcome gift, like welcome to your apartment” you rambled, your face was burning and you hoped that somehow he couldn’t tell, maybe girls in the 40’s didn’t blush so he didn’t know what was wrong with your face you thought.
“oh?” was all he said, he could hear your heartbeat racing, he thought you were terrified of him, rushing though your words to get away from him as soon as heavenly possible. Bucky heard you rehearsing outside his door, a small smile on his face as you got the courage to knock, he was excited, maybe he could try to be your friend, his therapist said he needed it, maybe you wouldn’t recognize him and he could start new.
All that was thrown out the window when your eyes widened and your heart began to race faster as you saw him, obviously you knew him, he was the talk of the town at the moment.
“oh my god sorry! I’m y/n, i live right next door” you smiled softly, cocking your head in the direction of your apartment, the plate still in your hands and you wanted to cry because why hasn’t he grabbed the bread yet when i made it just for you.
“I didn’t know if you liked chocolate chip in your banana bread or not so i made it half with and half without i hope that okay” you continued, hoping he would take the hint and grab the plate from you. Thankfully he did and you sighed softly, glad that he took it.
“I uh- don’t really have an opinion” he stated, his lips pressed to a thin line for a second before he cracked a small smile at you, happily returning it.
“well let me know which you preferred” you laughed and he nodded.
“I’m James by the way” he said, placing the plate on a box next to him, “I’ll just got put this on a plate and I’ll give you yours back give me a second” he began and you quickly shook your head at him.
“Oh no! The plate is yours too! you can keep it” you grinned and his mouth opened a bit, no one was this nice to him besides steve. You were too kind, too caring and soft and he didn’t want to taint you or weigh you down with his baggage.
“oh uh, thank you” he cleared his throat, his mind racing and telling him to stop talking to you, leave you alone before he ruins your life like he ruins everything else. “It’s late so you should uh probably go” he started and you felt your stomach drop, part of you upset he didn’t try to talk to you more.
“oh yeah, sorry, have a good night! I hope you like the bread haha, if you need anything I’m right next door” you shot him a grin and he simply closed the door, a frown on your face as you walked to your apartment.
You let out a sigh before your eyes watered a bit. You were never gonna try and make friends again you told yourself, heading to your room to get your pjs and going to the restroom to shower.
Bucky could hear the music from your phone through the walls, they were thin enough to begin with but his super soldier hearing didn’t do him any favors. He could hear the rumble of your voice but he couldn’t make out the words as you sang.
Bucky smiled a little bit, you were so pretty and sweet. No one had even made him banana bread before, let alone make him half with chocolate chips and half without.
Bucky munched on the banana bread, deciding he liked the one with chocolate chips better. A smile on his face as he mindlessly watched his tv, thoughts only of the pretty girl next door.
You finished showering and quickly got changed, sitting on your couch and flipping through channels until settling on reruns of your favorite show. You were bored out of your mind and were about to head to sleep when a knock at the door scared you.
You grabbed your pepper spray from your bag and looked through the peep hole, letting out a sigh when you saw it was just bucky. You put the pepper spray back and rushed to open the door.
“hi bucky” you smiled and he pressed his lips into a thin line.
“I liked the chocolate chip one better” he spoke, looking at floor then at you. There was a smile painted on your face and you nodded.
“Guess I’ll have to make you more with chocolate chips huh” you joked and he smiled a bit before stopping himself.
“I’ll uh see you tomorrow” he spoke before heading back to his apartment and you smiled.
It was a little bit, but it was something.
The first week was pretty stagnant, not much conversation and just small waves from your end. The second week was better, he waved back at you and even gave you music recommendations. By the third week he was coming around more, telling you good morning and goodnight if you bumped into each other in the hall.
He helped you bring a pack of water up after seeing you struggle with the first one.
“I can- i can just help you with that if you want” he spoke from behind you, and you looked at him breathless.
“oh my god please” you sighed, he quickly took the waters from you and lifted them with ease, you stared at him in shock before opening the door to your apartment.
“You can just set it on the counter” you spoke, starting to take everything out of the grocery bags. “I’m uh i was gonna actually cook dinner tonight, if you want to come- not that you have to! I mean i can just give some to you and you don’t have to come over” you reasoned, rambling to the super soldier.
“I’m busy tonight actually” he spoke and you flushed red.
“Oh yeah no! Of course you being a hero in all, that’s fine! thanks for the water help” you smiled, he returned it before exiting and closing the door.
You scolded yourself, obviously he didn’t want to hang out with you god you were trying too hard.
By the time it hit a month and a half of bucky moving in you had given up, he seemed to be stuck in a funk, constantly brooding and avoiding you at all costs.
You baked some banana bread, adding extra chocolate chips and deciding to give him it and try to cheer him up, making get him out of his funk.
You knocked on his door and he opened it quickly. You smiled at the man and shoved the banana bread into his chest.
“I noticed you were upset and so i thought this would help, extra chocolate chips” you grinned as his face broke into a smile.
You turned to leave but Bucky grabbed your wrist, turning you around to face him.
“i- uh do you wanna come in?” He spoke, his voice wavering.
“I’d love to” you replied, following him into his apartment, a smile on your face as your eyes wandered.
“i know it’s not the best, your place is a lot more furnished” he spoke, setting the banana bread down on the kitchen counter.
“that’s okay, as long as you feel at home is all that matters” you said, smiling at him while he sliced the bread.
“I shouldn’t be doing this” he mumbled, “maybe you should go” he spoke, setting the knife down and looking at him.
“oh” was all you said, not knowing what to do.
“I’m just- fuck, look it’s not you i just” he cut himself off, sighing and squeezing his eyes shut for a second before opening them again.
“bucky it’s fine i can go” you whispered, setting a reassuring hand on his metal one.
He expected you to flinch, turn away at the cold feeling. But you didn’t. You kept your focus on him.
“I don’t want you to” he spoke softly, eyes locking on yours.
“i don’t want you to but you should, because I’m always ruining things, I’m always messing something up. Everyone i love or care about gets hurt- it’s like I’m some dark force that ruins anything good. I cant do that to you y/n” he finished, pulling away.
You debated on giving him space or wrapping your arms around him, you could tell what he needed more.
“I think you’re not as dark as you want people to believe” you spoke simply. Looking at the super soldier square in the eyes.
“You walk around brooding and acting like you hate everyone but in reality i think you’re too scared to let anyone in. You aren’t evil or dark. Youre insecure and scared, you just need someone to show they care but you don’t let anyone do that.”
Bucky looked at you in shock, not even Sam talked to him like that. Your eyes went wide as you realized everything you said.
“I’m sorry i don’t know where that came from- i can leave I’ll go i just- i just want you to know that I’m here, no matter what time it is I’m here” you mumbled, quickly leaving his apartment and going to yours.
Bucky stood there in shock, you were right. Everything you said was right. He was scared, he was terrified of letting someone in only to have them ripped from him. He didn’t want to run after you immediately, he had to think through his feelings.
He showered and changed into some comfy shorts and sitting on the floor next to his couch and turning on a soccer match.
His heart raced, brows furrowing as scenes as the winter soldier played over and over in his head. The sound of a gunshot in his dream made him shoot up. A thin line of sweat on his forehead had formed and he was panting.
He ran to the restroom, washing his face with cool water and listening to the faucet as his breathing steadied.
He checked the clock, 2:25 am. He threw on a cozy black henley and walked next door, he was scared. Knocking softly twice he waited for a second, his advanced hearing picking up on some shuffling inside.
You opened the door, a bat in hand that quickly fell to your side when you saw the state bucky was in.
“oh buck what happened? are you okay?” You asked, instinct taking over as you wrapped your arms around him, leading him to the couch.
“i had a nightmare” he whispered, eyes not leaving the floor.
“do you want to talk about it?” You asked, he shook his head and you nodded. You grabbed a fluffy blanket and handed it to him, giving him the controller to your tv and excusing yourself into the kitchen.
You made two cups of hot chocolate, adding extra marshmallows to his. You carried them carefully to the living room and set them on the table, pushing the one with more marshmallows towards him.
“maybe this’ll help you relax” you smiled and he thanked you, taking a sip. The two of you watching tv in silence, drinking hot chocolate and sitting close together.
By the time it was 3 am you were yawning, tired from your busy day. Guilt rushed over bucky, realizing he had woken you up and you had to be at work early.
“I’m sorry i should go it’s late and-” Bucky started, getting up and you stopped him, pulling him down softly.
“it’s okay, tomorrow’s Saturday” you smiled softly, his mouth forming into an ‘o’ shape.
“You don’t have to leave unless you want to, I’ll stay here for as long as you want” you assured him, placing your hand on his one more time and smiled, eyes soft and heart swelling.
You fell asleep watching tv, Bucky was wide awake, but the steady beat of your heart soon caused him to drift off not long after.
Something changed that night, Bucky became more comfortable around you, inviting you to dinner more and texting you when he didn’t see you. He even had made you banana bread, which he vowed never to do again because it turned out horribly.
You had it bad, you were so whipped for him and he was so whipped for you, both of you harboring a crush and neither of you realized.
It had been three months since bucky moved in, the last month and a half had been a blur. You and Bucky hanging out at any and every chance, going on walks together in the afternoon and even grocery shopping together. You had to museums and taken care of him after mission. You gave him hot chocolate after a nightmare and stayed with him until he fell asleep again.
Bucky helped you de stress, getting you away from paper work when you were too tired and getting you out of the house when you were cooped up during the weekends. He helped you become more confident, complimenting you any chance he got and getting shy around you.
Bucky had another nightmare, and as if instinct he got up, a frown on his face as he knocked twice softly on your door.
“‘M sorry doll” he whispered and you shook your head, holding his hand and leaving him into your room.
You were so tired, you had woke up at 6 am to get to work early after they called you in saying it was urgent. You had spent all day running around getting home later than usual. It was 9 pm by the time you were showered and having dinner.
You had called one of your friends, catching up with them since you missed their call earlier, talking until 2 am when you couldn’t keep your eyes open any longer.
By the time your head hit the pillow you were out, you didn’t know how you even heard buckys soft knocking. But sure enough you got up, and let him in, you lead him to your room without second thought.
You gently shoved him on the bed, moving to the other side and snuggling back under your sheets. “gnight” was all you said before passing out again.
Bucky was shocked, did you trust him that much? Did he really mean this much to you? You were exhausted and yet you still took care of him. His heart melted and he quietly took off his shoes, holding them in his hand as he walked to the couch, laying down and covering himself with the blanket you had given him the first time he came.
Morning came and you came out of your room, Bucky sound asleep on your couch, a fond smile on your face. You began to make the two do you breakfast, as quiet as you could so that you didn’t wake him, luckily he slept through it all.
You shook him softly, whispering for him to wake up when you finished, slowly he got up. Rubbing his eyes as you told him to go sit at table to eat his breakfast.
The two of you eating and chatting, both still tired.
“I didn’t sleep in your bed, i know you took me but i don’t know i felt like you were just too tired to think” he told you, your face burned from how hard you were blushing.
“I did what?” You asked, eyes wide. Bucky only laughed and shook his head.
“I figured you were just too tired to think of anything else so i took myself to the couch” he smiled and you giggled.
“did you sleep well at least?” You questioned and he nodded.
“not as well as i do with you by my side” he smirked and you chocked on your water, coughing at his statement.
“oh my god you- it’s 10 am can i please get a warning” you shrieked and he sat there confused.
“I’m sorry?” He said, both amused and confused.
“I’ll wash the plates!” You spoke quickly, getting up and taking his plate and heading towards the sink.
“I have to go, i have a thing with Sam today” he sighed and you nodded, “okay have fun, good luck and be safe buck” you spoke and he smiled, heading out the door, excited to see you again later.
“No sam like i like her” Bucky spoke, walking besides the man as he looked at something on his phone.
“oh you mean like, like like her” Sam teased, keeping a straight face.
“god i hate you” bucky groaned, regretting ever saying anything to the man.
“well if you like her why don’t you cook her some dinner, or take her to a park for a picnic or something” he shrugged.
“woo her with your charming cyborg mind” Sam smirked and Bucky glared at him.
“i cant- i don’t know how to and plus she probably doesn’t even like me” Bucky began and Sam stopped in his tracks.
“she makes you banana bread, hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and sleeps on the couch to keep you company after you have a nightmare” he spoke, looking at Bucky like he was crazy.
“yes” Bucky stated, brows furrowed.
“oh my god you idiot obviously she likes you” was all Sam said before continuing to walk.
Buckys mind kept drifting to you, did you like him too? Maybe he should take you on a date, you talked about ice skating one time maybe he should take you to a rink, or maybe a museum.
You were exhausted by the time you finished washing dishes, you had barely been sleeping this past couple weeks, always trying to stay awake just in case bucky needed you.
You didn’t mind it, you loved that he trusted you enough to seek comfort in you. Watching movies with him at night to help get his mind off things was your favorite thing, sharing popcorn and eventually he would fall asleep. He was finally getting rest and that’s all that mattered to you.
Your phone dinged as you watched some tv, a text from Bucky.
hi y/n
You smiled, heart pounding and stomach doing flips, you replied after a minute. You didn’t want to seem too eager.
hi buck! i hope all is well w you and sam :]
Buckys heart rate sped up at the site of your text, nervous as he typed out the message.
You saw the three bubbles appear, then disappear and then appear again. Was he okay?
“okay read this” Bucky shoved his phone towards Sam, he nodded in approval.
“no no too much right? let me change it” Bucky shook his head, deleting the text before starting a new one.
“Bucky just-” Sam began but was cut off by Bucky shoving his phone in his face once more.
“Yes bucky it’s good now send it” Sam groaned, just wanting his friend to finally go on a (successful) date.
“I’m gonna change th-” Bucky started, but Sam was faster, snatching the phone out of his hand and pressing send.
“there! now please tell me you know what to wear on a date” Sam pleaded, the silence was the only reply Sam needed.
I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me. I think you’re amazing and wonderful, please let me know- i would’ve waited to ask you in person but i can’t stop thinking
Your face flushed and a smile broke onto your face. Quickly typing out a response.
I would love you bucky
to**** i would love to
You groaned as you read over your texts, god he was gonna back out now, surely. This is the same man who took a month to wave back at his own neighbor for fucks sakes, now you just accidentally told him you loved him?
I’ll pick you up at 6:30 doll :-)
You bit your lip, smiling and jumping around in glee, you could hardly wait.
“okay if it’s just a museum date how about you wear this, and that” Sam spoke, smiling at how Bucky looked in his outfit.
“I’m gonna take her ice skating instead i think” Bucky spoke, and Sam nodded, looking in his closet.
“I’m not letting you near any of my sweaters” Sam spoke and Bucky rolled his eyes.
“i have something back home to wear, thank you Sam” he smiled, pulling him in for a hug. Sam smiled, happy that Bucky was finally finding peace.
Bucky quickly got ready, hopping in the shower and putting on a t shirt and pulling his black Henley over it along with some nice pants.
He checked his clock, 5:47. Enough time for flowers, he rushed out, grabbing everything he needed and heading for the florist.
He remembered how two weeks ago you told him your favorite flowers, gushing about them in your 3 am sleepy haze.
By the time he arrived at your doorstep and hesitated.
“okay, okay, i can do this. just knock, flowers and ice skating!” He smiled to himself, remembering how you were just as nervous when you first brought him banana bread.
He knocked twice on the door, you opened it with a smile. Buckys eyes went wide and his words got stuck in his throat.
You looked beautiful.
“I didn’t know where we were going so i kinda just put on something somewhat casual, i hope that’s okay! If not i can change” you rambled and Bucky blinked rapidly.
“You look beautiful doll” was all he said you blushed, smiling and nodding.
“i got you some flowers” he spoke, nervous to see your reaction.
“you remembered?” you whispered and he nodded,
“how could i not?” your face was burning as you took the bouquet from him, placing them in a vase with some water quickly.
The two of you left the apartment, nervous and giddy to see where the night would take you.
The ice rink was packed, something neither of you expected, and 30 minutes into the line YPU were yawning.
“I’m sorry doll i didn’t know it would be packed” he mumbled and you shook your head.
“i don’t mind I’m just a bit tired is all” you smiled, yawning one more time and apologizing to Bucky.
“Cmon i know what we can do instead” he smiled and you looked at him confused, but he quickly took your hand in his and pulled you out of line and back to his car.
The drive was silent, soft 40s music coming from the speaker as you headed to wherever bucky was taking you.
Before you knew it you were back your apartments, you were confused to say the least but decided to stay quiet and let Bucky guide you.
“Wait here” Bucky smiled, running to his apartment before coming back out with a backpack and taking your hand once again.
“I like to come up here when i need some time alone or just to think” he spoke, clicking on the top floor in the elevator.
You followed him out of the elevator, around the corner and up some stairs, and then you were on the roof. Bucky smiled at you as you saw the sunset over the buildings around you.
You were so busy taking in the view you didn’t see Bucky setting up the picnic infront of you, gasping at the small setup he managed to make.
“It’s not much but-” he started and you shook your head.
“It’s just enough” you whispered, sitting across from him.
The two of you talked until nightfall, smiling the whole time and giggling at each other’s anecdotes.
You were laying on Buckys chest, listening to him talk about the constellations as pointing them out with his metal hand, his other hand was softly running through your hair.
“-and that one is Ursa Minor, the little bear” he continued, listening to your heartbeat as it steadied. You had fallen asleep. Bucky smiled, happy that he could finally return the favor you had done for him every night.
He moved as quickly and quietly as he could, packing up everything into his backpack again. As he headed to pick you up you moved, opening your eyes slightly.
“did i fall sleep?” You mumbled and Bucky smiled, picking you up swiftly and you giggled.
“love when you treat me like a princess” Bucky smiled at your words.
“good thing I’m gonna treat you like one for as long as your mine” he replied, you blushed, fully waking up.
“yours huh?” You smirked and he blushed.
“You can put me down in awake” you smiled and he set you down gently.
“will you be my girl? I promise I’ll treat you like a princess, even promise to never bake again” Bucky smiled, stepping closer to you.
“you make a tough bargain barnes, i think it’s a yes” you smiled, pulling him by the hem of his shirt and placing your lips on his.
The two of you smiled into the kiss, breaking into a fit of laughter halfway through.
“why are you laughing?” You smiled, and he put his hand up in defense.
“you started laughing first!” He defended, pulling you in for another kiss before you could argue back.
You walked to your apartment hand in hand and in comfortable silence.
“I had a really good time tonight bucky” you smiled, turning to the super soldier.
“I had a great time too doll” he grinned and you turned around, unlocking your door. Bucky was already walking to his door when you stopped him.
“You arent gonna come in?” You questioned and he smiled, nodding and following you in quickly.
The rest of the night was spent cuddled up on the couch, hot chocolates in hand and watching your favorite movies on tv.
The two of you fell asleep before the first movie could even finish, you had never felt more well rested in your life. Bucky didn’t have a single nightmare and was the most relaxed he’d been in 80 years.

Daminette- Oblivious Idiots
Ladybug groans her face in a pillow as she freaks out a little a lot.
"How'd you figure it out? I'm not that obvious, am I? Do you think he knows? He can't know, that would be awful- ohhhh NonononononoNOnonononooooo. No. Please, tell me he doesn't know." Ladybug is laying face down on the couch in the living room of Titans Tower, Beast Boy smirking down at her reaction to being found out. The boy just brought up her rather obvious crush, and now the Parisian hero is a little panicked. If Beast Boy noticed who else did? Everyone on the team is really smart.
The Parisian joined the Titans over a year ago after asking the Justice League for help. She fits into the team’s dynamic really well, playing video games with Beast Boy and Kid Flash; hanging out with Star and binging rom-coms; Raven was a tough nut to crack but didn’t seem to mind hanging out. They did get along but respected that they just had very different interests.
Robin is a completely different story, at first he was rude but the bluenette was stubborn. She wasn't going to deal with his bratty attitude, she sticks up for her herself. At some point, the Parisian earns his respect. They became friends over time, working well together though Robin insisted they train so she could improve her technique.
"It's kinda obvious for me, but he's pretty dense. Bats are always idiots when it comes to emotions n' stuff." The young Parisian hero looks up from her pillow.    
"I know that... he's my best friend. Friend- Merde. What if he sees me just as a friend!?" The bluenette's hands go to her hair, eyes blown wide. It takes everything in Beast Boy not to laugh at how blind the girl is being. Does she not see how smitten the fourth Robin is for her? That he acts more like a human being when she's around?
"No, what if all he ever sees in me is a friend? This isn't good, then we'll never date and he's just so datable. Have you seen the way his nose crinkles when he tastes something he doesn't like, holding it until it goes away? And the way he swoops his hair, I'd bet it's soft. And he's so strong-"
"Ew. I have ears, please don't-" Ladybug doesn’t seem to hear him, continuing her rant. 
"And then one day I'll have to watch him fall for someone, I think I already have. It's awful- not that I'm not happy he's happy, because I am- but I think he likes Raven. They spend so much time together, sneaking off sometimes."
"I bet they like each other, how could I compete with her. She's amazing, and- and I'm not." The bluenette's tone goes from one of acceptance to defeat.
"Oh, okay, we got serious. Uh- don't cry." When he and Raven went over the plan, they hadn't covered the possibility of a) Ladybug thinking Robin and Raven were a thing; or b) that Ladybug would compare herself to Raven. The Parisian is always so self-confident and optimistic, perfect even- she never lets anyone get her down. She huffs at his less than helpful response.
"I'm not gonna cry. It's just, why would he like me? I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm annoying." The girl stands pacing, trying to decipher the enigma that is Robin. The girl's moods changes at the drop of a dime, leaving Beast Boy to try and play catch-up.
"Am I  annoying to him? Probably. Raven is so calm and nice, he has no reason not to like her."
"That's definitely not true, if he thinks that he would tell you." She nods, sitting on the couch, leaning on her hands. His words help a little but a girl’s mind is her worst enemy, all the worst 'what if's' popping into her brain like spam mail in an already full mailbox.
This is going to take more intervention than he thought. "You're ridiculous, that isn't true."
"You're just blind, and as you would say- 'you're too close.'" Robin rolls his eyes, Raven is sitting on her bed as Robin looks at her, standing.
"All I'm saying is-"
"I understand what you said, you don't need to repeat it. All I'm saying is-" He mocks, "- that it's highly unlikely she'd be interested in me." This time Raven rolls her eyes, he really is an idiot.
"How can I prove it to you- just ask her out. She'll say yes."
"I don't trust you, you have no proof."
"Fine. Don't believe me, but mark my words, if you wait too long she might settle for someone else. You heard her complain about being mobbed on Valentines day last year."
"Whatever, she didn't like any of them."
"Yeah, because she likes you." Robin glares at Raven as he walks out of her room to go train. Robin first saw her as annoying but she grew on him. He mistook his interest in her as friendship until Raven commented on his liking their latest addition without telling her. It went downhill from there, now it’s like he can’t get her off his mind.
He tried to deny it, reason a way out of the conclusion. Raven did her best to encourage him but she was getting nowhere, the entire team was frustrated because both refused to see what was staring them right in the face.  Beast Boy and Raven meet with Starfire after both Ladybug and Robin go back to their respective home cities.
"What did you the learn?" Beast Boy speaks up first, recounting his confronting Ladybug about it. 
"She's got it bad, thinks he and Raven are into each other." 
"Robin is convinced she doesn't like him. He doesn't want to get rejected so he refuses to ask her out."
"How can we tell him she likes him that he actually does the listening?"
"He'd only be convinced if he heard her say it." Raven reasons, knowing how blind and hard headed Robin is.
"There's no way she'll fess-up, she's too insecure. Even if we convinced her that Robin wasn't into you."
"I wish the little D could just hear her say it in passing. He would ask without fear and she'd get to date him without putting herself out there." Beast Boy can already see it, it’s the perfect plan. 
"I'm sure I could get her to talk about it in the hall, you could get him close enough to hear?" Beast Boy offers, it could work but they can't see each other.
"We'll use the hallways on the fifth floor, that are separated by a wall and meet towards the elevator?"
"Sounds great, Mama." Raven rolls her eyes at his nickname for her. Starfire looks between the two before abruptly standing, trying to hide her smile.
"Yes, well, I must attend to some dishes. Farewell." The two shared a look. Perhaps it isn't only Robin and Ladybug that need to come clean.
"We gotta say something sooner than lat-"
"I know, but not yet. We could use this to our advantage..." "Right? So I had to go all the way to the other side of the city to deliver this banner, it was worth it though. The skater friend won."
"Do they still race? You said this was a normal way to spend your weekend."
"O-oh well, I don't see them much anymore." Ladybug's shoulders turn inwards, looking to the floor. Robin hates the small frown on her lips, he knows better than to pry but maybe if he got some more information he could help.
"How come?"
"Just, time. Grew apart I guess."
"You're an awful liar."
"I take that as a compliment!" Ladybug defended, smiling slightly. "You see, while Mr.-Tall,-Dark,-Handsome,-and-Mysterious is making up lies he has to keep straight I'm simply seen as an airhead that forgets her phone everywhere she goes!"
"You're even worse at changing the subject." Ladybug's smile falters.
"Hehe, yeah, have you seen Star? She said she had the cutest picture of you asleep in your costume with some dog." Robin crosses his arms, why is she avoiding the subject?
"I have plenty of pictures of 'the dog' but please-" He pats the seat next to him on his bed, "-elaborate on this 'growing apart' situation." He isn't going to give in, he has that face he used to do during training when she was too tired to get up. Ladybug sit, plopping onto the bed her arms spread across the comfortable fabric of the duvet.
"I can't say much, just that they don't want to be friends with me anymore. None of them do."
"Who's none of them?"
"My friends. All of them, only one does but they 'can't' be my friend. He just doesn't have enough of a backbone."
"Surely you have other friends besides the mindless heathens."
"School and hero duties add up, I hardly have enough time to keep up with my jobs. I don't have time for that, and they could get suspicious, notice the patterns where my old friends would see the clumsy forgetful me." He nods, laying on his back and turning to look her in the eye.
"At least I have you guys." She smiles, brushing some hair from Robin's forehead. It feels nice.
"If it were up to me-"
"It isn't, and it's best not to dwell. Come on, bird boy, let's get a snack."
"Right, but none of that hot chocolate nonsense." She rolls her eyes, she'll get him to try it. One day.
"Are we sure this is gonna work?" Beast Boy is unsure, Raven hadn't seen the way Ladybug reacted, it was like no matter what he said her mind found some way to turn it into a bad thing, like she could only see the worst in a situation. It was completely unlike her.
"Yes."
"But-"
"No 'but's', this will give Robin the push he needs to ask her out. She'll say yes. End of story."
"Then why are we planning the the thing with the mo-"
"In case he's more dense than humanly possible and because it's time people knew."
"Right... I'll wait till ten minutes from now to get her to walk past, you have till then to get him there, we'll take two laps just in case." Raven nods before going to look for Robin. She finds him in the living room, reading a book. 
“Come.” Raven turns around and makes her way towards the elevator, he catches up and they ride to the fifth floor. They exit and hide behind the designated wall. 
"You are not to make a sound, simply wait and listen.”
They wait.
And listen.
It takes ten minutes for something to happen, the elevator bell rings and opens at their floor. Raven motions for him to stay quiet. Robin hears to footsteps as someone sighs.
"-How could I not? He's just so- dreamy."
"Ew. Why do you even like him? You're too nice for him."
"I am not 'too nice' and Robin is not mean... He's just... gruff- yeah, gruff, at first. But you should have seen how cute it was when we were talking about something and I was laying and he laid down next to me and there was hair blocking his eyes a little so I swiped it out of the way and it was so soft." She says it all in one breath which should be concerning if Robin’s attention wasn’t being taken up by trying to not freak out. His eyes wide, back pressed against the wall so as not to get caught. She keeps talking, he has to hear more.
She sounds so sure of her affection, like it’s the most natural thing in the world. She likes him? Like to date? Raven is right? This is impossible, but it was happening. She’s ranting about things not even he notices about himself like they’re the most amazing things in the world.
"And have you seen him smile? And his laugh, it's one of my favorite things about him. And did you notice the way he always perks up when there's a happy animal on the television, like it reminds him of something- I'd bet he has an animal. I wish I could have a pet." They kept walking, she kept rambling about him, his hair, his smile, the way he walked. He heard the voices fade at she and Beast Boy kept walking.
"I told you." Robin didn't even have a response, she feels the same way?
"She likes me?"
"You've got to be joking, after all that, you still don't believe it?"
"Shut up, I'm processing." Raven crosses her arms, impatiently waiting, they'll loop back soon.
"She likes me."
"Just keep listening." Ladybug and Beast Boy came back into earshot. When they got closer, Beast Boy cut her off when she starts going off topic about his hair.
"So if he asked you out, what would you do?" Robin hears them stop, she makes a high pitched whine he knows means she’s flustered, she used to do it every time he glared her down and got a little too close, at the time, an unknown symptom of his attraction towards the heroine.
"I mean, if I could speak- I'd say yes but I'd probably freak out and fall or trip over my words. It doesn't matter, he wouldn't ask. Why in the world would he like me?" Raven has to remind Robin to stay quiet and hidden with a shushing motion and a hand to his shoulder. He stays in place despite the fact that he wanted to list every reason why he would. His stupid monkey brain thought of kissing her to drive his point home but shoos the intrusive thought away.
"Right, and what you'd kiss him?" It was like his teammate is reading his stupid, teenage mind.
"Pretending he liked me back? I mean, I could go on about his li-"
"Please don't." The bluenette laughs with him.
"Ah! I have to go meet Robin for training. Bye!"
"Later." The girl's footsteps disappear as the elevator door arrives and carries her towards the training room.
"Dude you better not say she doesn't like you again." Beast Boy sad, knocking on the wall to get his attention.
"Why don't you just ask her?"
"Yes, the little D, she will the gladly accept." Kor'i appears out of nowhere, he hates when she hovers like that. He can never tell where she is. He glares at them all, he’s late to meet with Ladybug. How in the world is he going to face her after that, it was so wrong to have listened. She hadn't meant for him to hear those things. Robin is filled with guilt as he walks into the waiting elevator and nears the training room. Ladybug is there smiling and slightly pink, likely from their teammate's questions.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes." He couldn't tell her he heard, she'll get embarrassed. He can't act on it either, she sounds busy enough as is. He would just be in the way.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." He snaps at her this time, the rest of their training session is silent. She leaves back to Paris as soon as her shift is over, not staying to speak with Robin like she usually does. No one is amused by his behavior.
"What the hell? You get the confirmation you've been needing to finally ask her out and you start acting like you hate her?" Beast Boy finally exclaims, Raven kicks him under the chair.
"It's none of your business, and none of you should have interfered. I was not meant to hear any of that, she doesn't have time for me anyways." Robin gets up from his seat and walks towards the zeta-tube.
After that, things get a little better. Robin isn't rude or snappy to her but they don't talk or have their little one on one training sessions. Ladybug does everything in her power to try and rebuild the bridge she didn't know had been burnt. She doesn't know what she did wrong, what she said, what happened made Robin want to avoid her like the plague.
Is he going to leave her too?
No. It doesn't matter that he probably put two and two together and knows she likes him, that he probably likes someone else, he is her friend at the very least, it might not be enough but it’s something.
Ladybug gathers her courage, waiting for him to pass the one place she knows she can get him. Waiting right at a corner, she hears him coming. She wants to laugh when he slows, always knowing when she tries to sneak up on him, but this time she holds it in. Reminding herself of why she’s there.
Just as he comes into range, she turns the corner and faces him. 
Her face is angry, no, pissed. Her eyebrows scrunched, a deep frown replacing the usual smile, she shoves a finger onto his chest. He always knew she was there but her expression, it’s hurt and angry and world ending- his world to be specific.
"What is your deal? What the hell did I do to you that you won't even talk to me anymore? What did I say? Why do you suddenly hate me?"
"I-"
"I mean, one day we're laughing and talking, and I tell you about what happened with my friends, and then the next you don't even bother to greet me!" She berates him in French, she gets more passionate about her speech until she's out of gas. At least, that's what he thinks.
“It’s disrespectful and hurtful! You don’t just drop someone because they did something to upset you, you try to fix it. You try to work through it!” 
"I-"
"What? You what? I told you about my friends, not only did I put a lot of trust in you for that- it could have pointed towards my identity if I slipped up. You're too easy to talk to. And don't you dare say that this is just how you are because we both know you've been off lately. So just tell me! Tell me you hate me, tell me you want space, tell me somethings wrong or that I did something but just don't shrug this off. You are too important to me to just let this go!" He can see the unshed tears in her eyes, why is she crying? Why does he have to make her cry? He doesn’t deserve her tears, her affection, he doesn’t deserve her. 
"I just- I think you can do better. I’m not a good enough companion." Robin refused to use the word friend, she isn’t his friend, she’s so much more than that. A rouge tear falls, her face incredulous.
"What?"
"You sound busy enough, you'd be better off spending your time with someone else." Robin doesn’t look her in the eye, it’s the honest truth but he can’t stand looking at her so upset. 
Ladybug is at a loss, that’s why he’s upset? Because he thinks she was wasting her time? That he wasn't good enough for her to spend her time with?
It’s like a switch flips, her anger melting away. Her jabbing finger falls.
"Who could be better?" She hugs him, Damian does have some experience from Grayson so he awkwardly returns the favor. The far shorter girl sniffles once before pulling back with a smile.
Robin feels a pang in his chest, he made her cry. She wipes away the unshed tears from the corners of her eyes, glad to have the mess over and done with. He vows never to do so ever again.
"I never wanna hear you say that you're anything less than the best, c'mon time to get your butt handed to you."
"Spar?"
"You wish." Robin sighed, she always beats him in video games. As they walk, the alarm blares. There’s an attack somewhere. The duo runs towards the living room, Starfire is already there with Beast Boy, Raven, and Kid Flash.
"We've got two. There's some kind of monster tearing through down town, we need to stop them."
"And the other?" Robin asks.
"Paris, akuma." Ladybug groans, like she always does. She runs off towards the zeta tubes with a wave goodbye. Time to deal with the mangy cat's puns.
Robin and the rest of the team walk back into Titan Tower expecting to see Ladybug waiting for them, she always gets back before them in situations like this. Kid Flash speeds off after grabbing his things saying he’s late to something, as usual. Beast Boy limps, most of his weight supported by Raven as they make their way towards the med bay. 
Robin and Starfire sit in the living room, she shows him photos of Dick in ridiculous sleeping positions or mid fall but Robin is on edge. Why isn't she back yet?
Of course, he gets an immediate answer. Ladybug's distress signal goes off, he and Star are off without a moment's hesitation. Jumping into the zeta-tubes, worry for their teammate clear. After over a year of working with her she’s never used the distress button. The machine powers up and blinds them, Damian jams a communicator in his ear and tunes in to the local news station. He hears where Ladybug is and he and Starfire set off in search for the girl. Paris is bright, people stop and stare as the heroes make their way towards the Eiffel tower.
Robin's mind is hyper focused and clouded at the same time, he knows he has to be at his best to help Ladybug so he shoves all that annoying emotion in a stupid box, shuts it, locks it, and pushes it into a dark little corner. They arrive at the lawn of the Eiffel tower.
Looking exhausted, Ladybug charges the villain. A blond boy in a black cat suit is flung at her with ease. The monster tries to throw a bus full of people at the two as Ladybug tries to get the boy off, he doesn’t seem to care, trying to hug the girl. Robin feels his chest tighten in jealousy.
Robin motions towards the bus, Starfire flies past and catches the bus mid air. The dark haired teenage boy is quick to lift the ill equipped partner he's heard so very much about off Ladybug.
"I believe she is trying to get up." He drops the boy to the side before offering a hand to Ladybug.
"Hello, again." Ladybug smiles up at him, taking Robins hand. Pulling her up, the two stand close together. Staring.
"Hi."
"Shall we get back to the task at hand?!" Starfire asks, mid battle with the monster when Ladybug and Robin snap back to reality. They join the fight, Chat sticks to the sidelines with a pout. The monster is tough, she only pressed the panic button in fear of the hostages being injured or killed. Even if they were physically healed by the miraculous cure it’s traumatizing.
The battle doesn’t last very long, the monster is extremely susceptible to Robin's ice capsules, and is no match for Kor'i's strength.
Ladybug is relieved when she sees the purified akuma flap away.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" The bluenette was able to use her lucky charm quickly enough, she'd say thank you before giving Tikki food and returning to the tower to finish her shift.
"Well done."
"Thank you, you weren't too bad yourself." Marinette smiles back to the far taller boy.
"Will you be returning to the tower? Should we wait for you?"
"You are the kidding, yes? We are in Paris! I'd like to go the shopping!" Ladybug laughed.
"With what money? My brother's card is rather telling. As is your own."
"I suppose you are correct."
"Don't worry, Starfire, we can go on a shopping day soon." The girl smiled.
"Yes, the little D, would you join us? Raven may join as well, yes, Ladybug? Girls day!"
"I do not qualify as a girl."
"Little D?" Ladybug asks, smiling softly before bursting into laughter. "I need to go help the victim and recharge. I'll see you back at the tower." Ladybug turns to leave but comes face to face with Chat. 
"What are you doing here? We don't need you." He directs his comments to both of the American heroes but mostly towards Robin. Ladybug pinches the bridge of her nose.
"We are members of the Teen Titans, we were asked to come. Now if you'll excuse us-"
"What? Who asked you to come here. My lady and I would never-"
"I did, and I am not 'your lady' you need to stop with the names and trying to distract me mid-battle, Chat.” 
“But-” Ladybug gives the mangy cat no time to explain, cutting in with no patience.
“No ‘but’s, you almost got us and all those hostages killed. Go. Home.” The tro of Titan’s walk away, it’s best not to give the boy anymore attention.
"We should do it now."
"What'd you mean? He's still acting like he can't stand her."
"No, they made up. I heard her yelling at him about it. He caved pretty quickly after that. We do it tonight, no more sneaking around and hopefully they get together." Beast Boy nods, watching Raven ice his ankle for him.
"Thanks, mama."
"... You're welcome." He smiles flicking some water on his girlfriend, she looks at him with a sad excuse for a glare.
"Alright, the ice should stay. Let's go see if she's back." Raven makes sure to keep Beast Boy off his ankle, quickly shooing him off to the empty living room couch. They don’t wait long for Robin, Starfire, and Ladybug to return.
"Thanks again for coming to help, guys." Starfire smiles. Robin nods.
"It was our pleasure, what shall we do now?"
"Movie?" Beast Boy asks, getting immediate yeses from the girls.
"I'll pass-"
"Come on." Raven complains, the guy can be such a pain.
"tt, no. That doesn't work on me."
"Pretty please?" Starfire asks. She pulls out the baby doll eyes and a pout.
"No, the physical appearance of the 'please' makes no difference-"
"Please?" Ladybug pulls out all the stops, she looks him right in the eyes, those big, blue, innocent eyes were so sad and pretty, she shuffles a foot, her hands behind her back. Her bottom lip juts out ever so slightly as her torso sways back and forth. His response is immediate.
"Yes." Ladybug grins in victory, Damian doesn’t get the chance to backpedal.
"Yay!" Starfire quickly steals Robin's usual seat. Raven and Beast Boy take up one side of the couch, Robin and Ladybug take up the other. Everyone bickers and argues over which movie to watch until Robin gets annoyed and plays one of the few movies he can bear. Lion King.
Throughout the duration of the film, Beast Boy slowly pushes Ladybug closer to him laying longways until he takes up the majority of the couch. Ladybug is squished against Robin, their arms pressing uncomfortably against each other. Deciding to test the waters, Robin wraps an arm around the Parisian's shoulder. The lights were off but the girl's blush is obvious. She has yet to move, he feels her glance in the opposite direction for a moment before leaning onto him.
Damian wasn't freaking out... Okay, Damian was only freaking out a little. He didn’t do well last time he saw she likes him. What should he do now? An annoying and sarcastic voice told him not to ignore her but they weren't much help. The little Grayson in Damian's mind told him to pull her a little closer, maybe kiss her head to make his intentions more clear. She still isn't aware of his affection towards her. He does the first, he could all but see the little Grayson smiling. Robin has no clue what to do next so he just does his best to watch the movie.
The lights come on far too soon, Ladybug doesn't move to get off him until she notices the lights turn on. She blushes that adorable shade of pink. That's when he sees it, just behind a blushing bluenette is Raven snuggling with Beast Boy as if it’s the most normal thing in the world. His brows furrow, his arm falls of Ladybugs shoulder. It was clear this isn’t a one time thing or anything of the sort. They know exactly what they’re doing, they’ve been seeing each other and she didn't tell him. After all the times he spoke about Ladybug, she didn't care to mention her own relationship.
Ladybug follows his line of sight, her posture goes from relaxed to tense.
To Marinette it’s like confirmation to something she knew all along, he likes Raven. Maybe he only wrapped his arm around her because of how squished they were. Which means she completely misread the situation and leaned onto him when he was just trying to be comfortable.
"I knew it!" Starfire exclaims, beaming. Raven just looks away trying or hide her small smile. Ladybug is happy their happy but Robin just walks away, his face neutral. She hates when he makes that face. Soon Starfire has to leave and Beast Boy hobbles to his room, ankle still tender.
Ladybug's overthinking keeps her in place, staring at her hands. She doesn’t even notice that Raven is still in the room with her.
"You should go talk to him."
"W-what? Me? No, he doesn't want to talk to me." Ladybug tried to say no but she couldn't help but be worried for Robin. Raven gives her a look, she relents.
"Fine." Ladybug drags herself to where she knows he'll be. He was always on the roof when he has to think. She mentally prepares herself for an undeniable, verbal confirmation that he doesn't like her, she forces herself to go- to be there for him.
"Go away." Damian is in no mood to deal with Raven, how could she not tell him?
"You can't get rid of a bug that easily, Rob." He chastises himself for being rude to Ladybug again, at least she doesn't sound upset because of it. She doesn't say anything, sitting next to him as they look over the brightly lit cityscape.
"Wanna talk about it?" He doesn't respond. The little Grayson, encouraged by the success of last time, tries to get Damian to hold her hand. Their hands were so close, just a few inches apart. That definitely isn't happening. "Right..." She trails off, not knowing what else to say. The silence grows, unchecked like a cancer.
"I- Just- Why wouldn't she tell me? After-" Robin was about to say too much but thankfully stopped himself.
"After what?" He’s relieved she’s still ignorant of his affection, putting himself out there like that’s a scary thought.
"Nothing. Nevermind."
"After you told her you like her." She speaks with such certainty, like she’s accepted it as fact. Is that what she really thought?
"What? No- I just- confided in her about something similar. I expected she'd do the same. She's one of my best friends." He sees Ladybug nod, that same look of  on her face.
"I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt your feelings. They probably just wanted to keep it quiet until they were ready to tell everyone." Robin had to admit she was probably right. He saw the way her hands fiddled and folded, she was trying to think of something to talk about, likely to distract him. She was always so considerate.
"So... girlfriend."
"Where'd you hear that?" He was so confused, the very idea is ridiculous.
"Well, you said you confided in Raven about something similar. I just assumed you had a partner."
"Oh. No." They sat in silence again, looking over the silent harbor. Damian gathers his courage, now is the perfect time- looking over a clear sky with the stars out. Isn't this the kind of situation girls daydream about? Now was the most likely time for her to accept. Deciding to just get it out, Damian starts speaking.
"Actually there's-"
"I know you probably don't-" Of course, just as Robin starts speaking, she does too. Alarm bells start ringing in his head, the little Grayson is trying to figure out what she was going to say while the rest of him starts freaking out.
They awkwardly laugh, looking away, Damian feels an unfamiliar little burning sensation on his cheeks. He’s loosing more of his nerve by the second.
"ILikeYou,LikeLikeLike." She just blurts it out, redder than her costume. Damian's head snaps to her with his lips parted. This is happening.
"I feel the same way. I- I apologize I didn't say so sooner I just- you said you were so busy already, I didn't want to become a distraction." Ladybug gives him a small smile, that was what that was about. She fondly wipes the hair from his forehead back, lacing her fingers through his hair. Her hand rested at the back of his neck, smiling. She looks so content, at peace.
"I see no issue in distractions."
"I suppose this is the part of the story where we kiss?" Robin puts a hand on the Parisian's cheek, inching closer. They move to close the gap until they were just a hairsbreadth away. Her eyes are so blue and so beautiful up-close.
"I suppose you'd be correct." Their lips meet, the beautiful night sky behind them- everything else melting away.

1. FAKE DATING / ENGAGEMENT | TODOROKI SHOUTO
Tumblr media
1K CELEBRATION MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: Dating his publicist out of pure practicality had been a pretty good bad idea, continuing to date his publicist because he was beginning to enjoy the perks of his —albeit fake— relationship was an ever better bad idea. Proposing to said publicist because he wanted to anger his father was just a bad idea in general, but hey, the look on Endeavor’s face was worth it.  
WORD COUNT: 2.7k
WARNINGS: kissing, enji todoroki deserves a warning, t
A/N: hehe shoto and a two for one
Tumblr media
It had started out as something to piss off his father, if Shouto was honest. 
Shouto was now an upcoming Pro Hero that was rising through the charts, and Enji had been trying to mend his relationship with the rest of his family for a while now. This was something Fuyumi strongly supported seeing as she’d suggested hosting a weekly family dinner ever since Shouto was in his second year at UA. 
He hated those dinners if he was honest, but Shouto attended them out of courtesy for his sister. Natsuo wasn’t as polite as he could’ve been but Shouto found it entertaining to watch as he made several passive aggressive comments, much to Fuyumi’s dismay.
Shouto couldn’t help but feel the need to defy his father as well, in his own way. Which is why he brought along Y/N L/N, a young, quirkless, businesswoman he’d met during his second year at UA. She’d gotten into the the UA business course, and now served as a publicist on his team. Asking her to pretend to be his girlfriend was a rather... difficult task, but he managed to convince her fairly easily since they were close friends and she seemed to notice how much his father pestered him. Inviting her to one of these weekly dinners had probably been the biggest mistake he’d ever made.
That dinner had a lot of tension. 
As far as the Todoroki Family knew, Shouto had been dating Y/N for two years, and things were very serious between the two. Which is probably the reason why Enji felt the need to retaliate by beginning to invite other young Pro Heroes to the dinners, ones that seemed to have an interest in Shouto. Shortly after that, Y/N began to attend the weekly dinners more frequently, and Shouto had a feeling he was in too far when they kissed for the first time and he enjoyed it. 
Now, Shouto always had a feeling that Enji disliked Y/N, but he’d never outright expressed those feelings. Until now, that is.
“Excuse me?” 
Enji brought a hand to his temple as he inhaled deeply, “Shouto, you can’t tell me you intend to spend your life with your quirkless publicist.” 
Shouto scoffed at his words, eyes cold as he met Enji’s stare, “that’s what this is about? The fact that she’s quirkless? You can’t be serious.”
This was supposed to be a nice little family vacation, something Fuyumi had once again suggested. Shouto had brought along Y/N, feeling that he owed her some sort of enjoyable experience for putting her through the hell that was his family. It was a nice beach house, large enough that she could easily avoid his family while enjoying the perks of the it all. Not that Y/N needed to avoid his family, Natsuo and Fuyumi actually liked her quite a bit, Enji on the other hand? Well, this seemed to be Enji Todoroki’s version of an intervention.
“Shouto, you have potential-”
The room grows as cold as Shouto glares, “Y/N is one of the most impressive people I know, and if you think the fact that she’s quirkless discredits anything she’s done, then you haven’t changed at all.” He practically slams his glass onto the table beside him as he rises from his seat, heading towards the exit of the room. 
“This conversation isn’t over Shouto.”
No, it was done, very, very, very done. Because Shouto already had a plan. A very irrational, illogical, reckless plan that would likely prove to be a very big mistake.
Y/N on the other hand, had just gotten started on her daily routine. Stretching her arms above the bed she and Shouto had been forced to share in order to keep up the illusion that they were a couple. Though he’d already woken up it appeared, normally they’d both still be in bed, seeing as this was a vacation. Y/N didn’t mind sharing a bed with him if she was honest, in fact, Shouto was the perfect person to sleep beside because of his quirk. 
She didn’t mind any of this arrangement, and maybe that was a problem. 
The last thing Y/N had expected from Shouto was a request for a fake girlfriend, he’d explained how he though he should probably inform her of his plan seeing as she was his publicist. Y/N had been in shock as he continued to say he had a few people he was thinking about asking, only for Y/N to shut down the idea entirely. 
There were far too many variables, what if the person he selected exposed him for the false relationship later on in his career, what if they were bad at keeping secrets, what if they weren’t up for all the false acts of love, even worse what if they did fall in love with him?
Shouto saw the solution as having Y/N become his fake girlfriend.
And for some reason, Y/N found herself agreeing. Because she would never expose the fact that the relationship had been a lie the whole time, not when it was her job to preserve Shouto’s image. And she was perfectly okay with false displays of affection, she would surely never fall in love with Shouto Todoroki. He was her boss, and her close friend, developing feelings for him, or anyone else for that matter, just wasn’t in her cards.  
She kinda sorta failed. 
Now, Fuyumi would not stop giving her false hope, speaking of how she’d never seen Shouto so happy, how she was jealous of the way he looked at her when she wasn’t paying attention, the girl had even suggested that Shouto would propose soon.
If only she knew that this entire relationship was a petty lie, made to get back at the Pro Hero Endeavor for his not so subtle attempts at finding Shouto a partner that would likely create a... powerful grandchild to say the least. Y/N just so happened to be the most convenient person to anger the man, seeing as she was quirkless and all. 
Y/N was too busy glaring at the ceiling to hear the door unlock, lost in her thoughts, though she didn’t fail to hear the sound of the door slamming shut. Raising her brow, Y/N shifted in the bed to face the door to the room she and Shouto had claimed, which could be compared to a hotel suite. 
Shouto had moved straight to the dresser across from the bed, where his wallet, keys and a discarded tie from the dinner reservations they’d attended last night, were. Y/N propped herself up on her forearms in an attempt to get a better look at him as he grabbed his wallet and keys, shoving them into his pockets. “Shouto what are you doing?” 
He turned around almost instantly, and Y/N didn’t fail to notice the crease between his brows, though it disappeared almost instantly when he saw her. “Did I wake you?” Was his response, voice quiet as he watched her.
“You didn’t answer my question, Sho.” 
He’s silent for a moment, and Y/N wonders if he’s simply ignoring her question, though he moves closer to the bed, and Y/N watches as he takes a seat at the edge of it. “I’m going out.” 
“Can I come?” Y/N is sitting up, just for Shouto to grab her shoulder and gently push her back down.
There’s a small smile on his face as he shakes his head, “go back to bed.”
Y/N rolled her eyes, bringing her hand over his, “I happen to like hanging out with you.” She averts his gaze, which is now fixated on her, “also your family scares me.”
She can see him frown from the corner of her eyes, and Y/N is about to assure him that she’s joking, when his interlocks with his, removing them from her shoulder and laying them down in her lap as he practically examines them. The intimate action distracts her, though it’s become more frequent for Shouto to do things like this even when they are alone. Shouto’s hands are fidgeting with her own when he finally speaks, “do I scare you?” And he sounds almost scared of what her reply might be.
“No.” The answer comes without thought, and immediately after the question leaves his mouth, causing Shouto to look back up at her. “Never.”
Shouto’s eyes meet hers and Y/N can’t really decipher the look on his face, but that doesn’t really matter since his hands drop hers as he brings them to her face, only to pull her into a kiss. 
It was by no means the first time they’d kissed, but it was definitely different. The first kiss was practically oozing hesitation, gentleness, and it was purely because Enji hadn’t stopped glaring at Y/N the entire night she’d been at the dinner table. This was harsh, firm, as though he had something to prove. Y/N can feel the anger he was radiating when he entered the room, but the weirdest part of the kiss is how intimate it was. Because they’d never been in private when they kissed, everything was public, to portray the likeness of a real couple.
Y/N can’t help it when her hands find their way to Shouto’s arms, gripping them tightly as she kisses back with equal fervor. This only seems to encourage Shouto’s sudden action as he gently lays her back onto the bed, one hand slipping behind her to her back, pressing her body closer to his. Y/N’s hand begins to move up his arm and to the nape of his neck, threading into Shouto’s hair as she pulls him closer.
This was very different.
Shouto pulls away, head moving to her neck to press a kiss against it before exhaling deeply as they remained like that for a moment, before Shouto separated himself from her, “I’ll be back.”
Y/N is still laying in the bed in shock at what just happened, but when she hears the door close, she finds herself feeling tempted to scream into her pillow because what the hell just happened? There was no reason to be so... intimate in the privacy of their room, and Shouto seemed to be seething with anger when he initially entered. And there was only one thing that could’ve set Shouto off.
His father, they must’ve had a conversation already, but so early in the morning? Y/N hadn’t seen Shouto so angry since... ever.  Now, if Shouto was honest he didn’t know what possessed him to head to the jeweler he saw on their way to the beach, but here he was. Was Shouto prepared to propose purely because his father had insinuated that his —fake— relationship wouldn’t last? Yes. Did he potentially have actual feelings for Y/N? Shouto wasn’t sure. He’d never been in an actual relationship, but he’d also never felt this way.
It was horrifying. The way his heart seemed to pick up speed whenever she was around, the way his right side, the side that created ice, seemed to heat up. Or the odd flutter in his stomach whenever she smiled at him, the way he never wanted to let go once she wrapped her arms around him. 
Maybe proposing wasn’t the best idea, proposing without informing Y/N he intended to propose was probably an even worse idea, but Shouto wasn’t really thinking as he made his unlocked the door of the beach house. 
Looking back on it, he definitely should’ve told Y/N but the look on his father’s face, the pure astonishment‚ and maybe even disgust, was fantaastic Along with the claps and cheers from the strangers on the boardwalk, the support from his siblings, well it was worth it. Worth the anger that Y/N was now displaying, very clearly. She didn’t seem to mind earlier when he’d gotten down on one knee, in fact, she’d started crying, though Shouto supposed this was just another part of their act. God, he wished it wasn’t an act. 
“Shouto, what the hell was that?” 
She’d forced him to take a seat on the bed they’d spoken on earlier, and though Shouto probably should’ve been paying more attention to her words, his eyes had been glued to her hand, particularly her ring finger. “A proposal.”
“Yes! A proposal we did not discuss, at all, might I add.” Y/N ran her fingers through her hair, tugging at the roots as she inhaled deeply, “Shouto you don’t just, propose to someone out of nowehere—”
His brows furrow at this, “my understanding was that most proposals are spontaneous.”
Y/N groans, turning away from him momentarily in a last ditch attempt to collect herself. If Y/N was honest, she was finding herself getting more and more caught up in their lies, when he got down on one knee, she almost forgot that everything between them was fake.
Almost. 
“Yes, that’s true.” She mumbles, turning back to face him, “however, that’s for real couples. Every aspect of this relationship is planned because this isn’t a relationship, it’s more like— like a contract. And we agreed to have a fake break up within the next two months.” She vividly recalled the discussion, Shouto had randomly become distant, avoiding her calls despite the fact that it was her job to speak within him. When he’d finally approached her, he told her they needed to plan their break up soon.
The only part of this relationship that wasn’t planned or staged was probably that moment they had together earlier that day. 
Shouto isn’t saying anything, in fact, he looks rather deep in thought, and Y/N can’t help the frustration that bubbles up inside her as she stares at him, awaiting a response. “Shouto, are you even listening to me?”
His eyes flicker upwards, meeting hers. Y/N can see them soften, and the look on his face effectively halts her pacing. Shouto takes this as a chance to grab her hand, rubbing gentle circles onto it as he speaks, “I’m always listening to you.” He shuts his eyes temporarily, breathing deeply before looking back up at her, “what if I don’t want us to plan things anymore?”
Y/N finds herself feeling breathless as she replies, “what?” She clears her throat, “what do you mean, Shouto?”
“I don’t want to plan things.” He repeats, fingers toying with the ring she now dawned on her left hand, eyes fixated on the jewel that Y/N had a feeling was ridiculously expensive. “And I don’t want a contract.”
Confusion floods Y/N as she watches him, nothing he did today had made sense. That moment on the bed that he’d initiated, the proposal, this. Shouto just wasn’t making sense and Y/N was becoming desperate, desperate to understand what exactly he was trying to say. “Then what do you want?”
He’s silent for a moment, contemplating his next words, Shouto wonders if she feels the same way. But he’d once made a promise to her, to be honest and transparent throughout this entire arrangement they had, and Shouto kept his promises, especially if they were to her. 
So he replied, “you.” Looking up at Y/N, he could see the shock, the confusion on her face, “I want you.” He straightens in his seat on the bed, “for real.” 
He expects her to tear her hand from his, maybe rip the ring off her finger and throw it at him. Perhaps it’s dramatic, but he also expects her to ridicule him for desiring her, for wanting an actual relationship. It wouldn’t be in Y/N’s nature, he knows this, but maybe a brutal rejection would make it hurt less. 
Instead, Y/N nods slowly, allowing a shaky breath to escape her as she brings her hands to his face, “guess I’m marrying into quite the family.” She mumbles, before pressing her lips to his.
This is good. Yeah, this was good.

Golden letters
Soulmate AU
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Summary: In a world where somewhere around your body you have tattoed in silver something related to your soulmate, it can be a number, a name, a phrase, a place, whatever that is related to your soulmate. When soulmates meet under the circumstances of the marks they turn into a golden tone and the special connection is made.
Warnings: Some swearing, attempt of sexual assault.
Word Count: 1.6k
A/N: I saw this somewhere but I can’t remember where, perhaps I’m even mixing AUs but I don’t even care. I’m thinking to go on this soulmate au’s to every character you guys suggest (that I know, obviously hehe).
Tumblr media
“What does your tattoo says?” “Can I see it?” “Aw it’s so cute.” “Where is your tattoo?”
Those phrases where always sounding around the halls of the school every first day when people made new friends or when new friends ran out of topics to talk about. But you weren’t like them, you understood that some people didn’t liked to talk about it for personal reasons so you didn’t wanted to be nosy and annoying, you understood because you were like them sometimes. 
You didn’t knew what your tattoo meant, you remember having it since you were little like everyone else; it was placed on your ribs, right upon on your left and last rib, quoting “Spiderman”, as a little girl no one knew what it meant or what it was supposed to be so you didn’t paid too much attention to it, never. At elementary school people used to bully you when they got to know what the tattoo says because let’s be real, Spiderman is kind of a dumb thing, it’s enough if you think about it.
But the whole tattoo turned to be more interesting that you and your parents thought when this local hero appeared, being called just as your tattoo said. And the people that knew about your marks starting almost even stalking you with the idea that the superhero was her soulmate. And since that you stopped showing it to people, anyway not a lot of them asked to see it since it’s placed on a kind of a private place.
You walked through the hall until you finally arrived to your experimental biology class with all your new classmates. You sat on your usual place and slowly the class filled after the bell rang. 
This curly-haired guy with brown eyes sat in the seat behind you, accidentally kicking him, you have seen him in the hallways a couple of times but you didn’t knew his name. You stared at him for as much two seconds before you looked back to the board where the teacher wrote her name.
The class went through as any other first day, the teacher presenting herself to the class and the assigning the pairs for the rest of the semester. 
“Parker with Y/L/N.” She said and you looked around the class searching for the Parker-guy. Then you locked eyes with the guys behind you.
“Do you know who this Parker guy is?” You asked waiting for his answer.
“I’m the Parker guy you are asking for, are you Y/L/N?” He asks and you nod. “Guess we are partners.” He gives you a shy smile and you nod again.
“I’m Y/N.” You said giving him the smile back.
“Peter.” He says, taking the seat next to you and you can look at him better than before. “Nice to meet you.” You spot a little silver mark showing a little from the neck of his shirt, looking like half a letter but is hid quickly when he turns to you. ‘His soulmate mark’ you think and raise your eyes to meet his, feeling something weird tickling on your stomach.
“I can say the same Parker-guy.” You smile after a moment of silently staring at each other, before he says something you both turn to the teacher who started talking about the year you both had ahead.
The class ended and you didn’t had another chance to talk to Peter, you both gathered you stuff together to get to your next class so you didn’t talked much either.
Then the day passed by in its normal pace, you were almost asleep in history class when the last bell rang, indicating that you were finally free of school for the day.
You walked until the exit and started walking to your part-time job at a café, where you stayed in your boredom until the clock pointed at 8 and you were free to go home to your brothers and dad.
The streets were as troubled as they could be but compared to the one’s in New York City this one’s were calm enough.
By the time you reached the last five streets until your building you heard someone calling you from one of the alleys between buildings, you rushed your pace, ignoring the sound of heavy, sloppy and probably drunk footsteps behind you, coming really close and starting to scare the hell out of you.
Then someone grabbed your wrist and pulled you roughly to the alley behind the old bar named “Oliver’s place” that has been standing there as long as your dad could remember. The person that grabbed your hand slammed you back without any care against the wall of the alley and your eyes met with the eyes of a drunk man that walked towards you and grabbing your wrist against the wall, pressing your legs with one if his so you didn’t kicked his noble parts.
You tried to anyway, failing in the attempt. When this repugnant man grabbed your wrists with one hand and with the other he tried to touch you in a gross way, placing his hand on your waist and slowly dragging it down.
Before he could continue someone pulled him from behind and brought him down, almost bringing you with him if it wasn’t for the hand that took you wrist and separated you from the man’s touch. 
You looked at your wrist ,still quite in shock, where the new hand was holding you just to find it covered in some red spandex. “Oh.” You thought, looking up just to find the freaking superhero in front of you. “Oh shit.” You thought out loud by an accident, Spiderguy was infront of you, looking at the men before turning to face you.
“Are you okay?” He asked while under the mask he inspected your face and body searching for any damage. “He didn’t hurt you right? He didn’t do anything?” 
You denied, still looking at him, almost discarding the idea of him being your soulmate since you didn’t felt any of the connection everyone talked about. “He didn’t, thank you.” You said willing to get your wrist free until he made eye contact with you under the mask, you didn’t knew he was staring at you dare in the eye until you felt it. You felt like a warm full filling your chest suddenly, tickling were your mark was and seeing a little gold sparkle shining through the fabric of the suit, right in his collarbone. There were so many feelings running through your stomach, like a motherfucking zoo was doing a marathon in there but it wasn’t overwhelming at all, instead it felt... right, it felt like a weight less on your shoulders.
“Y/N, you...” He started, not being able to find the right words since the rush of feeling through his body as well.
Peter didn’t understood his mark very well neither, aunt May always told him that it was a place, the bar, that’s the only thing it could be. ‘Oliver’s, 20.30.’ Every day since he got his powers he started passing every night near 8 since Mr. Stark suggested the numbers being an hour, just as his. 
Both of you couldn’t stop staring at each other eyes, or you at least where you thought his eyes were under the mask. Peter shot a web to the man when he tried to get up, blinding him and sticking him to the floor. 
“Who are you? Why you know me?” You asked without processing your words, you slap yourself mentally after saying them, ‘He’s a superhero, he won’t tell you.’ Yet he proved you wrong.
Going against every coherent and reasonable thought in his mind his hand reached to the mask and pulled it away, revealing his shocked face to you, his potential soulmate. 
Your eyes widened and your jaw dropped, the Parker-guy was Spiderman, the Parker-guy was, is, your soulmate.
“You... Shit, you are...” 
“Spiderman.” He nods.
“My fucking soulmate?” You ask instead, looking confused and not giving the answer he expected. You separate your hand from his and take the border of your shirt, rising it enough so he could see the words now in a shiny gold lettering.
His hand involuntarily raised and with his covered hand he traced the mark, feeling a shiver run down his spine. “I think I am.” He says, nodding again, now his hand reaching for you. “Mine says ‘Oliver’s place, 20.30.” He mutters, looking back to your eyes as you took your phone out to check the hour.
“20 and 31.” You say, not knowing what to say know. “So...”
“Yeah...” He rubs the back of his neck, he actually never thought what would happen when he met his soulmate. “You sure you’re fine?” He asks again.
“Yeah Parker-guy.” 
“Now you can’t tell-”
“Anyone, I know Mr. Superhero, I’m aware of that.” You smile a bit, making him chuckle under his breath.
“Where do you live? I can get you home faster.” He says giving you a sided smile before putting his mask back on.
“Some streets away, you mean like... Swinging?” You ask doing a weird expression with your hands.
“Yep, swinging.” He nods, and after a few seconds of considering it you nod back. 
“Fine.” You say not noticing he was still grabbing your hand until he let go, feeling the cooldness of it absence. He was about to grab you by your waist but looked at your for approval, making you smile at his antics. “Go ahead, is no big deal.” You say and pass your arms around his shoulders, everything feeling very right in place and comfortable by his side.
“Hold on tight, you’ll guide me.” He warns before starting swinging, you grabbed your backpack against your chest just as Parker-guy swung between the buildings of Queens, this was probably a bad idea and yes the drunk man was left stuck to the wall.

Little Brother of Mine
Next Chapter || AO3
Kurogiri POV
I teleported up to the children the moment I felt Eraserhead’s quirk cease affecting me.
“There is no escape for you.” I appeared in front of them, cutting off their escape. “It is a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains. I know it’s impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves-“
Wait, that green hair, the freckles, the green eyes… That’s Midoriya Izuku. Fuck. What’s he doing here!? He’s quirkless, how did he get in this class? I have to continue, can’t draw attention to him.
“-in. Isn’t this a fitting place for All Might, the symbol of peace, to take his last breath? I believe he was supposed to be here today, and yet I see no sign of him.”
Okay I’m keeping their attention, and the only one that seems to have noticed my pause is Izuku himself.
“There must’ve been some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen.” Right, now to get Izuku to safety while I throw the rest of the class to the other villains we brought.
“Ah, well, in the end, I suppose it doesn’t matter. I still have a role to play.”
I prepared to warp the students away.
I jolted back when two of the students charged at me, screaming the whole way. They went through me of course but that was close.
“You live up to your school’s reputation, but you should be more careful children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt.”
“You two, get out of the way, right now!” Thirteen called her students away, but not fast enough.
“I’ll scatter you across this facility, to meet my comrades, and your deaths!” I warped them away, aiming one on Izuku that would take him safely to a spot with no villains, the top of the waterslide should be safe enough for now. And then he moved.
The children were portaled away, and Izuku was heading into the shipwreck zone.
“Fuck.”
Shiggy POV
I watched Eraserhead moving, “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twel-“ his hair dropped.
He’s very good, fast and dangerous. Not bad for an NPC. But I’m figuring out his pattern. He can’t keep his eyes open as long. They’re probably getting dry.
Now.
“First it was twenty-three seconds.”
“The final boss” Eraserhead turned to face me.
“hehe, then it was twenty-four seconds. And then twenty. Then seventeen.” I grabbed his capture scarf as I ran forward, tugging it out of my way.
I reached for his face, he’ll die.
“Urgh” He almost managed to elbow me in the stomach. That was a close one.
I idly noticed the small figures to the side, some kids watching the fight now.
There we go, his hair fell again.
“It was hard to see when you were jumping around, but I’ve found your tell, it’s your hair.”
My quirk was back, I felt it begin to crumble his sleeve.
“When it drops, it means you’ve stopped using your quirk. You’re having to blink more often.”
He jerked, a grimace on his face.
“Don’t push yourself to hard now. You might just fall apart.” I couldn’t help the grin that slipped over my face.
His arm was very much beginning to disintegrate, the skin gone on his elbow, the muscle showing through as my quirk started to work deeper.
I heard a cry off to the side, and Eraserhead lunged forward with a grunt, slamming a fist into my face.
I scowled, “That annoying quirk of yours isn’t suited for drawn-out fights against big groups, is it?” I rose slowly as he stood surrounded by the NPC’s I brought.
“Don’t you think you’re a little out of your element here, Eraserhead? You’re much better at working stealthily. You’re known for surprise attacks, not fighting head-to-head.”
His hair was up I noticed. He’s panting, clutching his destroyed elbow, gaze focused on me.
“But despite knowing that, you didn’t hesitate to jump into the middle of this fight, to put your students at ease.” I did have a good amount of respect for him. Unlike most heroes, he really was protecting his charges and helping people who needed it. He was well known for it even.
The NPC’s attacked him again, and despite his injuries and exhaustion, he still beat all of them. Hehe, he’s really good at this.
He turned to face me, quirk activating again, capture scarf at the ready.
“And look at you, you’re still standing! You really are so cool!” I grinned again.
Too bad for him, I might like him more than most heroes, but he’s in my way.
“Oh, by the way hero.” Nomu surged to appear behind him in an instant. “I am not the final boss.” Nomu attacked.
Eraserhead hit the ground, his goggles broken, blood surrounding his form.
“What do you think of him, Eraserhead?” I peered at him, is he dead?
“Hm… He’s the bioengineered anti-symbol of Peace. But you can call him Nomu.”
The Nomu shrieked.
I perked up as Eraserhead grunted, Nomu yanking his arm.
He screamed. Whoops, looks like Nomu broke his arm. His head lifted, his face a mask of pain.
“You can erase people’s powers. That’s irritating, but it’s nothing impressive. When faced with true, devastating power, you might as well be a quirkless child.”
I paused for a moment. Perhaps I should’ve picked better wording. My little brother is quirkless. But then, he’s not very physically strong, mentally he’s deadly, almost as good at analyzing as Sensei. But still, too late to take back the wording, even if it is accurate.
Eraserhead slowly turned his head, I grinned as he activated his quirk, and Nomu smashed his face into the ground, and his arm. He gave a strangled scream, going still.
Nomu pulled his head up, Eraserhead groaning faintly as he did. Then Nomu shoved his face down again.
“Tomura Shigaraki” I glanced over to Kurogiri, looks like he’s back.
“Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen?”
“The rescue hero is out of commission.” Imma take that as a no. “But there were students I was unable to disperse and one of them got outside of the facility.”
I twitched before turning fully to him, he… “Huh?” I stared for a moment before scratching at my neck. The itch was back. The plan was ruined. It was destroyed. We can’t take on all the pros that would come, how could Kurogiri fail so badly! He’s one of Sensei’s most trusted and he screwed up!
“Kurogiri”
I scratched harder, how could he fail me so badly. The utter failure. The itch was worse. I can’t believe he’d ruin our plans like this. All he had to do was kill some kids, how could he screw that up! Kids aren’t that hard to kill!
“You fool”
He didn’t even have to kill them, just get them away from the exit. Idiot!
“If you weren’t our warp gate, I’d tear apart every last atom in your body.”
I stopped. Lowering my hands. It’s over.
“There’s no way we can win if dozens of pros show up to stop us. It’s game over. Back to the title screen.”
And here I was wanting to beat the boss fight now.
“And I was looking forward to finishing this today. Damn it. Let’s go home.”
I heard some murmuring from the kids off to the side.
You know what, maybe we should leave something behind for All Might to see when they get here.
“Oh, before we leave, lets make sure the Symbol of Peace is broken. Let’s wreck his pride.”
I lunged, reaching the kids in an instant.
“Let’s make this hurt”
I froze. My hand was inches from the girls face but… the boy there... that’s…
“Otouto?”
Then I noticed the feel of my quirk being gone. Not that that was important. Ototou was here… how? He’s quirkless, how could he get into the elite hero course class at UA. If it was just based on smarts he’d be top of the class, but the physical requirements.
He blinked, “what?”
Oh right, he doesn’t know me. Sensei kept him separate from us. To keep him safe from Sensei’s enemies. Fuck.
Time to play it off a bit, my quirk is gone right now, let’s fix that.
“You really are so cool, Eraserhead.” I turned to look over my shoulder, watching as the Nomu smashed his face down again, less violently than before.
I turned back, oh there’s three kids, don’t know where the purple one came from. Eh, I’ll kill him…
Otouto lunged suddenly.
“I don’t know who you are, but you let her go!” He swung his fist towards me, and I noticed the build up of power immediately. When the hell did he get a quirk!?
“SMASH”
The wind force from his punch almost knocked me back, and I did withdraw my hand. I’m not gonna say no to my little Otouto.
Nomu shielded me from Otouto’s punch, I couldn’t see his face, but he seemed frozen. I should encourage him!
“You’re pretty powerful huh, This ‘smash’ of yours”
Oh no, oh no, no, no. Smash, like All Might. Information gathering time.
“Are you one of All Might’s disciples?”
Uh oh, my Nomu grabbed his arm, Oh no, I reached for the purple kid as my Otouto pulled away. “Nomu!” I’ll order Nomu off and kill this kid.
Nomu froze.
SMASH
I jerked to look, the doors smashed in. Dust rose as I heard footsteps all the way from here. I grinned.
“I couldn’t shake the feeling that something had gone wrong here when Aizawa and Thirteen didn’t answer my calls. So I hurried over, running into Young Iida along the way. He told me of the villainy at work here.”
There he is, with no one else. Only one pro came.
“Have no fear students.”
All Might stood tall at the edge of the stairs.
“I am here!”
Excellent.
“Look, we’re saved!” The annoying purple one is dying.
“He’s here, All Might!”
Aww, my Otouto is so cute. Also afraid. This is why we keep him inside and safe damn it!
Before I deal with All Might though. I finished reaching for the purple one. Grabbing his head I grinned as he crumbled to dust. My Nomu is positioned between my Otouto and him so Otouto won’t be traumatized.
I stood, “After all this waiting, the heroic piece of trash shows up.”
“Mineta” croaked the girl, horrified.
A blur and the NPC’s hit the ground, groaning. All Might had Eraserhead in his arms, cradling him as he held him away from the mob.
He murmured something to soft to hear.
Oh, I didn’t know All Might had a love interest. Good. To. Know.
I blinked and the girl and Otouto were gone, All Might grabbing them. As if Otouto was in danger from me! I jerked as father’s hand came off my face.
He’s too fast.
“Everybody back to the entrance and take Aizawa with you. He doesn’t have much time.”
“Yes sir.” Otouto sounded scared. How dare All Might scare my Otouto. Doesn’t he know Otouto has all but worshipped him for years!? Otouto adores that piece of trash and he scares him! He’ll die for that too now.
“no, no, no.” I need my father’s hand back first. Then Otouto. “It wasn’t supposed to go this way. He’s still fast, Father. Somehow he managed to hit me.”
I picked up father’s hand, relaxing once it was back in place.
“Of course a government hero relies on violence.” I should make sure Otouto has some lessons on heroes while he’s here. “I wasn’t prepared. I couldn’t even see him when he moved. But he’s not as fast as I thought he’d be.” I could still react, even if not in time.
“Not as fast as he used to be. I guess it’s true after all.” I grinned now, “All Might really is getting weaker.”
Otouto paused, a flash of something on his face. I’ll plant the seeds, he’ll understand.
“All Might, you can’t! That brain villain took One for-“ He faltered, looking at his friend worried. So cute, he shouldn’t be with these NPCs. “I-I smashed him and didn’t break my arm this time-”
I’m sorry, didn’t break his arm? What the fuck. Who do I need to kill.
“-but he wasn’t fazed at all. He’s too strong!”
Aww, Otouto can tell. Of course he can, he’s so smart.
“Young Midoriya” All Might threw a hand out to silence Otouto. The absolute fucking nerve. Otouto was talking.
”I got this!”
‘I got this, I got this’ shut up All Might.
Otouto glanced at Eraserhead, before turning away, carrying him away, the girl helping him.
All Might turned to face me. “CAROLINA”
Fuck “Nomu.”
“SMASH”
Of course it did no damage. Did he not hear Otouto!?
“I guess he wasn’t wrong when he said it had no effect on you!” Yeah no shit sherlock.
Nomu grabbed for him and he dodged, lunging forward to hit Nomu again, and again, and again.
Nomu screeched as it reached for him, he leapt back to avoid it.
“It doesn’t even matter where I punch you, does it.”
I’m getting insulted.
“That’s because Nomu here has shock absorption, All Might.”
All Might threw some more punches at Nomu, who struck back.
“The only way you’re going to hurt him is to slowly gouge out his flesh.” I grinned, “Of course, I don’t think he’ll sit back and let you do that. You’ve finally met your match. Hehe”
All Might smiled though.
“Ha! Thanks for telling me how to beat him!”
… what?
“All I have to do is wear him down, then its on to you!”
Idiot.
All Might smashed Nomu downwards with a grunt, SMASH, a big cloud of dust covered the area.
“hey, hey now.” Rude.
I watched delighted as the cloud of dust dispersed, to show that Kurogiri pulled through. Nomu coming up through the portal to grab at All Might’s side.
“Oh come on, what kinda cheap move was that?”
Ha, he acts like we play without cheat codes. Newbie.
“Nice. You were trying to bury him in the concrete, so he couldn’t move around anymore. Sorry, that won’t work. Nomu’s as strong as you are. That won’t stop him.”
All Might grunted.
Oh right, positive reinforcement. “Nice work, Kurogiri.” I laughed, “We’ve got him just where we want him now.”
I noticed the blood showing on his dress shirt. Honestly, I can’t believe he came to fight us dressed like that. The audacity, thinks he’s so great. Kurogiri is starting to close his portal, he always has trouble closing it fast with people partway through it.
“If this is your best then you’ve picked the wrong place to attack. You should just give up now!”
Heroes, always giving grand speeches. So annoying.
“Kurogiri.”
“Normally I wouldn’t want blood and viscera flooding the insides of my warp gates, but I’ll make an exception for a hero as great as you. Since you’re too fast to see with the human eye, Nomu had to restrain you. And once he’s pulled your body halfway through, I’ll squeeze the gate shut.”
Ah, monologuing. The staple of any villains career. It’s a necessity, it happens in all my games. How are they supposed to feel hopeless if you don’t explain why they should feel that way.
“I’m going to enjoy tearing you to pieces.”
All Might jerked in Nomu’s hold, desperately trying to pull free.
I blinked as All Might’s attention got caught by… Otouto. What is he doing? He was leaving, going to where he’s safe! Now he’s running strait forward!?
Kurogiri warped between them, good, he’ll move Otouto to safety.
“How foolish.”
BOOM
“Get the hell out of my way DEKU!” A blond boy appeared.
… did he just call Otouto useless? Okay so he’s dying.
Blond boy smashed Kurogiri down, holding an exploding palm to his neck.
Ice suddenly surged across the field, freezing my Nomu. I saw the boy dressed in… half ice? And a dress shirt? What is with heroes and their dumb costumes?
“One of your poorly trained thugs told me you’re here because you think you can kill All Might.”
Ugh, so full of himself.
All Might pulled himself free. Ugh. It was all going so well. And now these annoYING KIDS ARE IN OUR WAY.
“Are you okay?” My Otouto really is an angel like Sensei said. Too good for this horrible world.
“YAAARGH” Some red freak lunged for me. Ugh. Way too slow.
I casually slunk back.
“Damn, that was gonna be so cool!” Idiot
“Guess I found your body this time ya smoky bastard!” What does he mean this time?
“The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by delinquents like you.”
Everyone’s a critic.
“Kacchan, Everyone.” Okay, so get Otouto away, and kill the idiots.
I studied the area briefly, so some high-level NPC’s are here. They took down my warper, and the boss is injured. But my boss fighter is still fine.
“Kurogiri, how could you let this brat get the best of you?” Really it’s shameful, he’s what, twelve? “You’ve gotten us into a real jam here.”
“Heh. You got careless, you dumb villain. It wasn’t hard to figure you out. Only certain parts of you turned into that smoking warp gate. You used that mist to hide your actual body, as a kind of distraction, thinking that made you safe! That’s why we missed.”
I groaned loudly, “I wasn’t talking to you, you obnoxious blond Pomeranian.”
The brat ignored me.
“But if you didn’t have a body, you wouldn’t be wearing this neck armor, right? You’re not immune to physical attacks if they’re well aimed.”
Kurogiri grunted, shifting slightly.
“Don’t move!” He leaned down, “You try anything funny, and I’ll blow your ass up right now, you got it? They’ll be cleanin’ you up for weeks.”
Okay now I’m mad. I’m the only one who gets to threaten Kurogiri.
“Oh, that doesn’t sound very heroic.” The dumb red one commented.
“They escapted uninjured and captured my two strongest men. Kids these days really are amazing.” They did do good, even with how dumb and annoying they are. “They make the League of Villains look like amateurs. Can’t have that.”
I glanced at the Nomu, “Nomu.”
It screeched as it pulled itself out of the warp gate, the ice shattering its body.
“How is that thing still moving? He’s all messed up.” Oh my sweet Otouto is limited in his knowledge, can’t do an accurate analysis that way.
“Stay back everybody!” Stop interrupting Otouto All Might, geeze, have some fucking manners.
Nomu regenerated. All Might can die now.
“What is this!? I thought you said his power was shock absorption.”
I rolled my eyes. “I didn’t say that was his only quirk. He also has super regeneration.” I flashed a glance at my Otouto, he was listening to every word. Might as well brag a little. “Nomu has been modified to take you on All Might, even at 100% of your power. He’s basically a highly efficient punching bag that hits back.”
Nomu was back to 100%. Now then.
“First we need to free our method of escape.” The blond brat can die. “Get him Nomu.”
There was a blur as Nomu moved, and a crash a moment later. The kids went flying. I turned to check on Otouto, he seemed okay, if a bit ruffled.
“Such force.” He looked up, eyes widening. Oh no, don’t tell me he likes the dumb blond brat that called him useless?
“KACCHAN!” ugh.
He blinked and looked beside him. Where the blond brat was sitting. Stupid All Might.
“Kacchan? Whoa, that’s awesome, you dodged him!” My sweet Otouto didn’t notice yet huh?
“Not quite, but that’s okay, you didn’t see it did you. All Might moves fast huh?” Otouto looked at me in surprise, then turned.
“Wait, then how?” Oh the dumb red one, I wasn’t talking to him.
But Otouto had realized, his gaze was on All Might, coughing at the wall. Otouto is so smart.
“These are kids, and you didn’t hold back!?”
Did he not notice me killing the purple one earlier? No? Okay. Besides, the blond one was rude to Otouto. He deserved death.
“I didn’t have much choice though, He was threatening my companion. Besides, these kids are no angels. The blond Pomeranian was threatening to blow up Kurogiri, the spiky red one tried to punch me in the face, and ice ice baby over there froze Nomu’s limbs off. What kind of hero does something like that?”
I shook my head, “You think you can get away with being as violent as you want if you say it’s for the sake of others.” Otouto needs to learn. The heroes aren’t so good.
“Well, you know what All Might. That pisses me off. Why do some people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic, and others are villainous?” Was calling Otouto “Deku” heroic? Was that good?
“Casting judgement as to what’s ‘good’ and what’s ‘evil’. You think you’re the Symbol of Peace? HA. You’re just another government sponsored instrument of violence. And violence always breeds more violence. I’ll make sure the world understands that once you’re dead.”
I glanced back over at Otouto. The speech is for him after all. Good. He’s listening. I won’t let these heroes corrupt my sweet Otouto. Sensei would be so upset.
“You’re nothing but a lunatic. Criminals like you, you always try to make your actions sound noble. But admit it, you’re only doing this because you like it. Isn’t that right?”
“Heh, maybe when we came. But no, I do have my reasons now. Heh heh, you couldn’t understand, All Might. You’re a barbarian, racking up exp by beating up anyone in your way. Going for all the boss fights. Well this will be your last one.”
All Might growled, and the kiddies started talking.
“We’ve got them outnumbered.”
“And Kacchan found the mist guys weakness.” Otouto could’ve if he’d had a moment to consider it. Stupid blond.
“These dudes may act really tough, but we can take ‘em down now with All Might’s help.” Loser red hardened his body, “Let’s do this.”
“Don’t attack!” All Might moved in front of them again. “Get out of here.”
“You would’ve been in trouble earlier if it weren’t for me, remember?” Ice rink readied for an attack, “You need our help.”
“I thank you for your assistance, but this is different. It’s gonna be alright. Just sit back and watch a pro at work.”
And you know, attacking us without us striking first is against the law. Which they should know.
“But you’re too hurt, you’re bleeding.” Ah leave it to Otouto to notice the injuries, and he’s right. All Might will die now. “You’re almost out of-“
Oh? What’s that. Did Otouto find out something about All Might? Some weakness, and now he’s worried.
“Heh, don’t worry, we’ll kill you quickly, All Might.” I stepped forward, talking time is over.
“Nomu, Kurogiri, Kill him. I’ll deal with the children.” Blondie is dying, maybe snowflake too. Not sure about loser red. He’s not interesting. Otouto is of course going to be left alone, not going to let him get hurt.
“Let’s clear this level and go home.” I’ll bring Otouto with me, Sensei needs to know that he now has a quirk. And that its apparently one that breaks his bones.
I lunged for the kids, aiming for the blond. Kacchan I think. “Huh” I turned. All Might.
He zipped right between me and the kids and kept moving. He and Nomu met head on. The explosion sent us flying.
“Weren’t you listening? One of his powers is shock absorption.” Is he dumber than I thought? I know he’s barbarian class but still.
“Yeah? What about it?”
Huh?
He kept punching. Otouto was being blown back. He’d better not put Otouto at risk.
“no, I can’t get near them”
Why is Kurogiri even hear at this point?
“He said your quirk was only shock absorption, not nullification! That means there’s a limit to what you can take, right?!” All Might was yelling as he fought Nomu. Acting like Nomu had any sense of self.  
They were exchanging punches too fast to really follow, All Might rearing back as Nomu hit him hard, Nomu stumbling, you couldn’t even see their hands they’re moving so fast.
“So you were made to fight be big guy? If you can really withstand me firing at 100% of my power, then I’ll have to go beyond that and force you to surrender.”
My eyes widened, he’s actually forcing Nomu back! He sent him flying!
“A real hero, will always find a way for justice to be served!”
He leapt up, grabbing Nomu, sent him crashing down.
“Now for a lesson. You may have heard these words before, but I’ll teach you what they man. GO BEYOND!” He reared back, “PLUS ULTRA!”
Nomu went crashing out of the building entirely, right through a window.
No, how dare he!
“I really have gotten weaker. Back in my heyday, five hits woulda been enough to knock that guy out. But today it took more than 300 mighty blows.”
That bastard. How dare he do this. We were so close. So close to defeating him. And now…
“You’ve been bested villains. Surrender. We all want to get this over with quickly.”
“He cheated.” That’s the only way he could beat Nomu. He was designed to counter All Might. Sensei equipped him with everything necessary, we bumped his level all the way up. How dare he!
“What’s going on here. He’s just as strong as he’s always been! Damn it. Don’t tell me I was lied too. His level should be lower, but now, he’s matching my highest leveled fighter.” I snarled lowly, this wasn’t going according to plan.
“What’s wrong? Not attacking me? Didn’t you say you were going to clear this level earlier? Well come and get me, if you dare.”
I recoiled. This was bad. I couldn’t afford to get beat here. Sensei needs to know about Otouto. And I’m not about to lose in front of Otouto. I glanced at him, he looked… worried. For All Might? Or for us? I can’t tell.
“What, are you scared?”
“uh” I scratched my neck, the itch was worse than ever. “If only Nomu was here. He’d rush you right now.” I scratched frantically, I need to get rid of the itch. “Pound you into the ground without giving it a second thought.”
“Tomura Shigaraki.” Kurogiri. “Please, do not fret. Look at him, he has definitely weakened.” I paused, lifting my head. “Nomu’s attacks were successful.”
I blinked, oh. Otouto, Otouto is worried for All Might. He always was such a fan.
“He’s on his own, the children appear to be frozen in fear. And look, our underlings are recovering. We likely have a few minutes before their reinforcements arrive. If you and I work together we can do this. We haven’t missed our chance to kill All Might.”
I dropped my hands considered the situation, a bunch of the NPC’s from our mob were starting to stand, Otouto’s group was hovering nervously, and All Might seemed rather injured.
“Yeah. Yeah, you’re right.” Otouto’s worry alone is enough for me, he’s an excellent analyzer. “This is it, we have no choice. We have to do it now. I mean, the big end-boss is right here.”
I charged, Kurogiri right beside me. All Might will die.
“Consider this revenge for what you did to Nomu!” Sensei gifted Nomu to me, he’ll pay for destroying Sensei’s gift.
I heard a whoosh. Turning, “what”, how did, how did Otouto get so fast, and he’s oh no, he’s doing something dumb, he’s charging right at us.
“Don’t you touch All Might! You stupid villains!”
I reached out a hand, careful to hold one finger away from where Otouto will be, I’ll shove Otouto away, and then finish off All Might.
BANG
My hand jerked to the side, I grunted in pain, a gunshot?
Otouto hit the ground hard. Are his legs broken?
“They’re here!” Stupid All Might sounds so happy.
Two more shots, neither hit me.
“Sorry everyone,” What? “I know we’re a bit late. But I got the teachers over here as fast as I could.”
Some idiot student yelled something about reinforcements, but I turned away to focus on Otouto. Other than multiple broken limbs, he seemed alright.
The teachers were attacking the mob I spawned.
“Oh no, the pros are here. It’s game over. For real.” I have to leave Otouto. Damn it.
“Lets go home and try this when we can- ARGH” I collapsed, BANG BANG BANG, three shots and I was down.
Kurogiri put a warp gate in front of me to shield me the from more.
“Lets go!” He started to warp us away, only for him to start getting yanked into the black hole.
Ugh, All Might, this is all his fault. “I may have failed to kill you this time, but your days are numbered! All Might. Symbol of Peace. I am going to kill you!”
The blackness covered me completely and I collapsed on the bar floor.
Urgh.
“Ow… shot in both arms and legs, all those underlings wiped out, Nomu beaten, and I had to leave Otouto behind. We failed. Those kids were so strong. And the damn Symbol of Peace wasn’t weakened at all! You were wrong Sensei. So wrong!”
“No I wasn’t.” Sensei’s voice came through the screen. “We just weren’t as prepared as we should’ve been.”
“I agree,” the doctor is there too, was Sensei having a bad day? “We underestimated them. Thankfully we failed under that cheap ‘League of Villains’ name and not our own.”
I snarled.
“And what about the creature the Master and I created? Where is Nomu?”
“Yes, why is he not with you?” Sensei is displeased. Damn it.
“He was blown away.”
“Oh shut up about Nomu. Who cares about him. We have more important things to be concerned about.”
“Nomu is a valuable creation an-“
“What is it Tomura?” Sensei cut of the doctor, sounding expectant.
“Otouto is at UA, and he’s in the hero course.”

Just some Ideas I had for Yandere BNHA
WARNING: Slight yandere themes
Bakugou:
Tumblr media
It was just another day of work for Bakugou, he was going undercover and searching for a villain who had hacked into several bank accounts and had stolen over 4 million. After some extensive research Bakugou had figured out that this villain worked as a theater manager and worked behind the scenes as this hacking mastermind.
Bakugou sighed as he waited for the show to end there was only one more solo dance performance left and he was bored out of his mind. He sighed as the announcer went backstage to bring in the next performer.
“Ladies and Gentleman I am pleased to introduce the dancing sensation of Roko city y/n!”
Within a flash he saw y/n. His breath hitched and his bored expression turned into a more curious one as he saw y/n how her beautiful hair danced in the light, her gorgeous dress fitting her perfectly and how she smiled at everyone. Something about this girl made him feel different, made him feel like he was complete. 
He stared into her eyes and for the first time ever he felt happy, he didn’t want to shout, he didn’t want to yell, he wasn’t angry, it was just him.
Y/N’s eyes met his briefly which made his heart beat faster but she turned away and as soon as the music started, she swayed elegantly with it. She was calming and refreshing to watch and he couldn’t help but wonder if it was love at first sight...
It must have been, right?
Of course it was! He loved y/n! And he was going to go to the moon and back for her. He would kill for her! He would die for her! 
She was an enchantress her beautiful long tresses swaying with her every movement and how she was the perfect girl for Bakugou.
She was his and no damn extra or reject could take her away from him! They were bound together from that moment on.
Izuku:
Tumblr media
This sweet cinnamon roll was walking down the street recently dumped by Ochako Uraraka. He was slowly moving on but the thought of his old girlfriend made his eyes flood with tears. They loved each other and he simply couldn’t understand why she would leave him. He huffed as his eyes watered again.
CRASH
He bumped into someone who was on the ground.
“Geez! Watch where you’re going” she said as Izuku reached down to help her. Both of their eyes met and they took each other in.
She wore a red hat and red jumpsuit with a tag ‘y/n’
Then their eyes met- Izuku couldn’t possibly look away from those beautiful e/c eyes. 
“What?” y/n snapped rudely “cat caught your tongue”
“No-no I’m very sorry...I’m Izuku by the way, Izuku Midoriya” he said with a little stutter here and there. y/n worried over the distraught man and looked down guiltily.
“No I’m sorry” she said looking back at him with a tired smile, “I’m y/n by the way- I was just grumpy because I’d done a 24 hour shift to cover for a friend, y’kow? I just want to go home and get some sleep”
Izuku felt really bad, y/n wouldn’t have to work a day if she was with him. He would make her happy and keep her to himself. She was more than Uraraka could have ever been to him. She was his sun, his moon, his star. He would protect her and this time yn wouldn’t hurt him like Uraraka did, she was an angel- no a goddess. It was love at first sight and he wasn’t going to ever let her go! Of course not!
“y/n you seem really tired, do you want me to walk you home?” Izuku asked slyly.
“No I wouldn’t want to bother you and besides we’ve just met” she said shifting uncomfortably.
“No we know each other” he said
“huh?” she asked alarmed
“your y/n and I’m Izuku... We know each other now” he said giving her a sweet smile and his puppy eyes which she couldn’t refuse.
“Oh alright! Fine by me!” y/n said smiling back at the man who she guided to her house unsuspectingly. After all she really doesn’t know that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Shoto Todoroki:
Tumblr media
Shoto was enjoying a lonely walk down his usual way until a paper smacked him in the face unsuspectingly. 
“ugh” he groaned as he fell backward. Just his luck.
“Oops! Sorry” A melodic voice from nearby spoke out. 
Shoto quickly grabbed the paper harshly and glanced at the girl running towards him, her eyes shone concern catching him off-guard and building up a warm feeling in his chest. He’s never quiet felt this way before and wishes he did because the feeling was a pleasant one.
“I’m really sorry sir, I’m y/n and I work for an orphanage nearby. I was actually just handing out papers for donations. You see we’ve been running low on our government funds lately so I was handing these papers out. I guess my clumsiness speaks for itself.” She said quickly cutting herself off as she noticed his unfamiliar gaze.
“S-s-sorry sir” y/n said bowing her head down low too embarrassed by this situation. 
“How much money?” Shoto asked all of a sudden pulling out his wallet.
“What?” The girl asked money.
“How much money do you have left to collect for your donations?” He asked. He sounded impatient but in his mind he wanted to stay just like that with her forever.
“We still have 1 million dollars-” y/n was silenced by Shoto’s immediate reaction to take out his check.
“Sir what are you doing?” y/n asked.
“Can’t you see what I am doing? I’m giving you the money” Of course he would. He had decided from the moment he saw her that he was going to take care of her and he would do anything for her.
He quickly signed it and handed it over to her with a donation of 1 million dollars. To say the least the girl was starstruck, she could barely get a hold of herself. She flung herself into his arms and kissed his cheek and that sealed her fate forever.
“Thank you so much sir!” she said still hugging him as tears of joy streamed down her face. The orphanage would be saved after all! 
“Shoto” the man said piping up from this position, “the name’s Shoto” he said and left the girl who would soon be his wife.
Denki:
Tumblr media
Denki Kaminari wasn’t a marrying man, he was more of a one night stand kind of person. He was so used to girls fawning over him because of his career, his money, his looks. All that didn’t matter to him but he could never say that it wasn’t fun. He hung out in the clubs every night swaying with the beat with a ton of his fan girls. 
And this day was just like any other, after a hard day at work he went to his favorite club across the street and was hanging out in the bar after dancing for two hours. Seemingly a beautiful girl had come his way, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Her vibrant hair and eyes, her sheepish smile. Oh he could just stare at her for hours.
“Um sir-?” she started but was quickly cut off by Denki
“You want my autograph, picture, and number right?” he asked grabbing her hand quickly while taking out his pen and signing his name onto her hand. 
“To whom do I make it out-” Before Denki could finish the girl grabbed her hand back.
“You Fool! How the hell did you get the idea that I wanted your fucking autograph on my hand? huh? I was just going to ask if you knew where the exit was! Geez! The gull you have to sign your name onto my hand!” She yelled.
He couldn’t lie- she was hot when she was angry. He continued to listen to her rant until her friend came up behind her and tapped gently on her shoulder.
“What is it?” she asked impatiently.
“Y/n! That’s chargebolt, he is-”
“I don’t give a damn about who this pikachu is! I just want to go home!” she yelled furiously and walked away from that scene.
Denki didn’t want her to go- not yet- no, not ever. He loved the way that this beautiful girl named y/n changed his life within minutes. He would come to that same club everyday in hopes that y/n would be there. He refused to dance with any girl that wasn’t y/n. He would search the streets and the world! All for his dear y/n. He decided that he was going to marry her and they would be the perfect husband and wife together.
Kirishima:
Tumblr media
Kirishima was shopping for groceries.
Yeah, heroes had to eat to and the manliest of them all also had to cook for himself. He had a break today and he might as well buy the next meal.
He reached out to grab dome ocra but bumped into the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Her beautiful hair cascading down her shoulders, her beautiful eyes widening at the sight of bumping into him and then doing a 360.
She was beyond beautiful.
“Oh sorry” she said monotonously.
“hehe it’s fine” he replied while rubbing his neck sheepishly while grabbing ocra for the both of them.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
“y/n, what’s yours?” she asked back trying not to be rude. It was her worst day by far and she couldn’t take it out on a kind stranger!
“Ejirou Kirishima!” he replied back enthusiastically to which she smiled slightly, “something seems to be bothering you” he said quietly.
“Oh well it isn’t much- oh fine your just a stranger that I’m never going to see anyways! So what the hell? Y’know my parents they are super annoying even though I’m a grown women they work me to death and I’m supposed to give them half of the money I earned to them! It’s evil! I can’t afford for food myself and they can even without the support of my income they can buy thousands of rich people meals for themselves! They said that I owed them something and took away everything I loved from me-” and so the story went on.
Kirishima couldn’t seem to break his mind away from this rant he was onto every word that came out of her beautiful mouth. How dare her parents do this to her? She was his beautiful angel now and he will become manly and protect her! The red riot wanted to save his princess from trouble and lock her up in a lavish castle where they both could live happily ever after.
Shinsou:
Tumblr media
Shinsou was up late in the U.A library. It was a long day, he came back to U.A to meet his adoptive father, Aizawa, his adoptive sister Eri who was a U.A student herself now. After one whole day of hanging out with his family, he sat back in the library enjoying the peace and quiet. 
After a few minutes of resting his eyes he heard a loud CLANG towards the south of the library. He quickly woke up and ran towards the source of the noise.
There was a woman in a tight formfitting black jumpsuit and a black mask holding a few textbooks and a small romance novel that he liked as well. He smiled a little in amusement as the women stopped and backed up into the wall.
Shinsou put both his hands on either side of her to stop her from escaping trapping her as she squirmed. Shinsou snatched the mask away from her face and stared at her beautiful face. 
Her eyes slightly widened as Shinsou’s smile grew.
“What are you doing here darling?” he asked
“What does it look like?! Do you think I’m a f-fool? I’m sealing books” she said- she was scared but she was trying to act tough.
“Security!-” Shinsou tried to yell but the woman crashed her mouth into his to just shut him up.
Shinsou was quiet surprised but melted into her soft kiss and passionately kissed back. Both of them pulled apart and the woman breathed out and crashed back into the wall.
“You know if you wanted me to kiss you, you could have just asked” he breathed out still flustered from the kiss.
“I had no other choice! Listen I’m y/n and I’m 19 and the daughter of the U.A school librarian... I want to go to college but my family doesn’t have enough money... So I’m just studying. I didn’t want you to call security so I did what felt right at the moment, and in order to shut you up I kissed you... Please don’t say anything about me to anyone... I return all of my books anyway! I just don’t go here so I can’t get books-”
“What University did you want to go to?”
“(insert your favorite university name)”
“Oh alright I’ll talk to the librarian tomorrow and get you in there” He said absent minded still staring at the woman waiting for her answer.
“How will you get me in?” she asked innocently
Anything for her of course! She was his the moment she kissed him and he wasn’t going to let her go! She was never to be sad because from that moment on she was his.
“I saved that university a couple of months ago, they owe me a favor anyways” he said nonchalantly while bending down to her height and whispering into her ears, “you should never be unhappy love” 
With that Shinsou walked away in total bliss, they were fated together afterall.
Iida:
Tumblr media
Iida was interrogating a villain to gather information about her group. She was the queen bee and apparently she had sacrificed herself for her group. He didn’t want to interrogate her, he was conflicted. He just couldn’t because he was in love with her. Even though it was so wrong it felt so right. He wanted her to be a hero but what’s the fun in that? Love threw it’s challenges at everyone-their challenge was the fact that they were on different sides. 
“What is the name of your villain organization y/n?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know pretty boy?” she asked with sarcasm dripping from every word. His partner kicked her.
“He asked a question! Answer it!” His partner fumed.
“As if I’d ever answer to you shorty!” She yelled back in pain.
“What did you call me?”
“Shorty” she replied back earning her another kick as her chair fell down and she groaned. Tears pricked the corner of her eyes,
“Go easy on her” Iida said from the background trying his hardest to hide his tears.
“We are going easy on her Iida” his partner reminded him.
“Ugh” Iida groaned and grabbed his partner and walked out of that room. 
“We are done for the day, release her!” he said and the guards reluctantly complied and set her free.
“I-I-ida what the fuck are you doing?!” The partner asked
“Doing what’s right” he said, “By the way you are fired from my agency” he said without sparing him a second glance. 
He walked away with his heart on his sleeve. Iida was madly in love with y/n the villain and he would do anything for her. After all she was his.

Synopsis: Giran makes a joke about Toga needing a responsible adult to join the League of Villains. Unfortunately, she takes him seriously. Even worse, the only responsible adult she can think of is a demon. Or the ‘Dabi is a Demon’ AU. 
.
.
It’s dark with clouds and the threat of thunder when Toga skips into the office. She’s in her best cardigan, the one without the stains, and her earbuds are playing her “<3 JOY <3” playlist, for added confidence. She knows Giran, but only as the voice on the other side of her phone. Now she’s meeting him, she wants to be as peppy and upbeat as possible, then maybe he’ll like her!
She wants Giran to like her. It’s not often she gets an offer like this, where they actually like what she does.
Grinning to herself, Toga raps sharply on the door, then gives it a merry shove open.
As soon as he sees her, the man behind the desk smashes his cigarette into an overflowing ashtray, waving the smoke away from her. It doesn’t stop them smell.
“Hi! I’m Toga Himiko.”
“Giran.” The man coughs slightly, turning to open a window. Toga keeps grinning, doing her best to show off her fangs. This is gonna be so great. She can make friends, maybe even meet cute boys, and maybe even get paid, and how could Giran not take her-
“I’m not too young!”
Giran shakes his head, smiling a snake oil smile, “Go home, kid. Find an adult to sign your permission form, then we’ll talk.”
There’s a knife up Toga’s sleeve, and it would be really, really easy for her to just pull it out and swing the way she always does. And she could. She really could, but- well, then she’d have even less chance of joining the League. And joining the League is all she wants to do. She’s never had a Career Goal before, not even when she actually attended school and had regular meetings with the guidance counsellor. But now she does- and Giran’s saying no!
The guidance counsellor never told her that could happen.
Before she knows it, Toga has been walked out of the office and back into the cold.
With nothing else to do, she goes back the way she came. The rain is starting to fall, fat, heavy drops which make her twin bins droop. She doesn’t have any broody music downloaded, so she can’t even mourn right. With the rain soundtracking her walk home, she feels like she’s in some kind of emo movie, one without romance and with low ratings. The thought depresses her even more.
She finds a place under a fire exit to shelter until the rain stops, chewing her already chapped lip as she thinks. The League was her chance. She knows they’d keep her hidden from heroes, and help her live the way she should be living.
If only she were an adult.
If only she had an adult.
She knows Giran was joking about the permission form, she’s not that stupid, but he can’t turn her down if she finds someone SUPER powerful, can he? Someone who can’t betray her, someone who can’t join the League without Toga, but wants to join.
Where is she gonna find a villain like that?
Toga stands up straight.
Maybe she doesn’t need to find them.
 On her way ‘home’, Toga drops in at the local library. She hasn’t been there since elementary school, but no one notices another rain-sodden girl in a middle school uniform, even if her teeth are a little sharper and her eyes a little smarter than the ones they’re used to. But she doesn’t want to push her luck by asking for help.
As she wanders the shelves, she takes care to linger by the scattered radiators. She doesn’t want to get sick after all.
She’s lucky; the section she wants is tucked in a back corner, far from prying librarian eyes. There aren’t many books, but she still struggles to shove them all into her fluffy backpack. The ones she can’t have to go under her cardigan. She’s not stealing, not really. She’ll bring them back.
The ones that don’t work, anyway.
Whistling to herself, Toga skips out of the library and all the way home.
 Home is an overstatement. It’s the room above an abandoned shop, the For Let sign sunbleached and weathered. No one else wants it, so Toga moved right in. It has a basic bathroom, and a mattress on the floor for her to sleep on, and she even manged to find a little storage heater left behind by the last owners- but it’s not home. It’s not cute or cosy, or even decorated. But she can make do for now.
If the League let her in, she won’t have to.
Toga empties her bag onto the concrete floor, hugging herself as she admires her stolen goods. She has her books, of course, and salt, black candles and chalk (because she doesn’t want a permanent pentagram on her floor). She has some leaves she cut off a plant, because proper sage is hard to find, and mixed herbs in a glass jar to fill in the blanks, and a can of coke just in case her new companion is thirsty.
She also has fries, but they don’t count because she actually had to pay for them.
Tossing books aside, Toga digs through her piles until she finds the one she’s keeping:  ‘Demon Summoning for the Crafty of Mind’. The one with the instructions in it. The book tells her how to summon a Demon, how to care for it, and most importantly how to actually control it. What the book doesn’t tell her is if Demons count as actual adults who can act as guardians and let you become a villain. But Toga figures she can just ask for an adult one and take it from there.
As she makes her way through the fries, Toga gets to work on her salt circle. She’s tired from her long day, but the demon would probably prefer to be summoned at night, right? So she puts aside her exhaustion for now, beginning her salt circle instead.
The book didn’t say what kind of salt, so she makes one first with sea salt, then with table salt. She’s sure there are other kinds, but the little store at the bottom of the road only had those two, so they’ll have to do. She’s not getting the train to the city just to buy salt. And anyway, being possessed might not be so bad. Then she’d have justification for bleeding people out, and the League would have to let her join. They couldn’t turn down an actual demon.
Then again, it wouldn’t be her. Just her body.
Toga resumes her circle.
Inside the salt circle, she draws a rough pentagram and lights a candle at each point. The store didn’t offer plain black candles, too far from Halloween, so she hopes the little penguin ones she found work instead. They’re cute anyway.
The last step, according to the book, is to light the sage on fire. Toga glances at her garden leaves and mixed herbs, before dumping them out on the floor.
It takes 10 matches to get any sort of smoke from them.
Toga sits, cross-legged, in front of her little pyre, and opens the book to the last page. Here came the hard part: Latin.
It’s not that she’s bad at languages in general, she’s just better when she actually understands them, like when they learnt English in school. And Latin is a dead language- if it’s dead, it should stay dead, right?
Whatever. It’s worth it for the League.
Toga squares her shoulders, clears her throat- and begins.
 Dabi groans, shoulders cracking as he stretches his arms ahead of him. It’s hot as- hehe- hell in the pit, and sweat has been rolling down his back for better part of a century. And, call him a bad demon, but Dabi doesn’t get on with heat. You’d think he’d have managed to sort something out, old as he is, but well. Here he is. Still with no goddamn clue why he’s got demon skin that still burns easy.
In fact, Dabi muses as he rolls his shoulders, one after the other, he’s probably been down here for longer than a century. The thing about never telling anyone your real name is that no-one knows it, meaning no-one can drag you from your firey pit and let you lay carnage to the earth.
As he muses on his eternal entrapment and what that could mean for his mental state, Dabi becomes vaguely aware of some sort of ringing. It’s distant, a voice he doesn’t know that’s somehow as familiar as breathing, as the smell of burnt skin and singed hair. As he strains his ears, something hooks, like a fishhook through his navel, and jerks sharply up.
Dabi jumps, hooves bouncing off the black rock floor for a few seconds as the hook jerks once again. The red darkness around him is getting less red and less dark as the hook pulls once more and he hears Latin echo in his ears-
And he opens his eyes.
The room is grey and empty and boring, the light of the moon warring with the small electric light in the corner as it pours in through the curtainless window. The air is gentle and blessedly cold against his skin as he stands on the uncovered floor, ringed by salt.
He doesn’t need to taste to know it’s both kinds.
Dammit.
He spins slowly, searching for the cautious summoner. On his first 360, all he catches is a small flash of blonde.
On the next, he looks down a bit.
“Jesus. And I thought gremlins went extinct.”
“I’m not a gremlin!” The girl protests, and she’s right, she’s not. Her nose isn’t small enough, “I’m a human.”
“Whatever.” There’s no breaks in the circle either.
God dammit. Species aside, this girl was good. If he had time, he could probably find a way around her wards, but she talked so quick he was struggling to keep up without simultaneously thinking of a way to trick her.
“Are you a demon?” She asks. Her bright, wide grin shows sharp teeth and too much gum.
“No. I’m a human too,” A glance confirms she’s immune to sarcasm, “Joking. Whaddya want?”
The girl pouts slightly, tipping her head back, “I want… A responsible adult.”
“And you summoned a demon? Just get your parent to sign the school form, kid. No need for forgery.”
She glances down to the floor, taking in Dabi’s bare, cloven feet, “I don’t have them.”
Ah.
“Fine. Where’s the damn form?” Honestly, this is possibly the least interesting thing he’s ever done, and he’s spent summer of 1456 harvesting crops. At least then he got a weapon.  
The girl rubs at her eyes with the cuff of her cardigan sleeve. “It’s not a form. I wanna join the League of Villains. But the man said I have to wait until I’m 18 or get a responsible adult. And I don’t want to wait three years!”
“So you summoned a demon?”
“Will you help me join?”
Dabi sits down in the circle, considering his options. On one hand, this kid is 15. And even he’s got a few qualms about letting a kid join a group of- villains? A crime syndicate? The mafia? Whatever it was, he wasn’t fully down with it.
On the other hand.
A crime group promised carnage of all kinds. Even if he had to pretend to have invented super-potent matches to use his flames, like he did last time.
And he knows what he was like when he was 15, getting cast into hell and all. Laughing on the way down.
The kid didn’t even have parents…
“Fine. You got a contract, or do I have to do that for you too?”
The girl squeals, sprinting across the room to grab a notebook off the floor.
“I copied out the one in the book!”
“Toss it over.”
It’s pretty fair. He can’t possess her (standard), and he has to ask before he uses his powers (lame), but there’s nothing forbidding carnage, ruin or any other type of destruction. Dabi can live with that. He signs his name, his real name, and tosses it back over the salt circle.
 “How’d you get my name, anyway?”
The air feels like ice against Dabi’s raw skin when the kid breaks the salt ring around him, setting him free. His hooves click against the uncovered floor as he takes care not to touch the salt. He knows the line is broken, from the flow of air and unmuffled noise of the road outside, but he’s been burnt by impatience before.
The girl shrugs, “I didn’t. But all the demon names the book gave sounded like a mess of letters, so I just made it up and hoped for the best.”
It’s fair. After all, Dabi can only pronounce his name when he’s 100% sober, so how can anyone expect a kid to do better?
“Great. Just, don’t say it around other people, right? Or else they can tell me what to do too.”
The girl pouts, “Then what do I call you?”
“I go by Dabi.”
The girl grins, showing off teeth that are sharper than Dabi’s, “I’m Toga Himiko!”
They shake, Toga’s palm hot against Dabi’s cold skin.
“So, where’s this League?”
Toga shakes her head so fast she blurs, “No, wait. You can’t go out like that, you look all-all-“
“Demon-like? So what do you suggest?” Dabi arches an eyebrow, then remembers he doesn’t have any.
Toga leaps into the air, hands curled under her chin, “Makeovers!”
Oh no.
 “You look so scary!” Toga wails an hour later, as Dabi finishes roughing up the already tattered shirt. He’s already in the pants Toga got for him, the rough fabric brushing over his unfamiliar human legs. They suit him though, in a weird, goth way. The shirt looks good too, now he’s finished making it as burnt and lowcut as possible. And Toga said he could keep his burns, which helps. It’s a pain glamouring over all of them all the time.
Unfortunately, she won’t let him keep his feet.
“I thought this Quirk thing meant hooves were normal.”
“But your quirk isn’t hooves, it’s fire! Who’s ever been scared of a villain with hooves?
Dabi snorts, wiggling his new toes with fascinated disgust, “Sane people? I could trample them.”
“But I’m in charge!” Toga reminds him, skipping over to the pile of candy she managed to ‘procure’.
Dammit. He’d forgot that.
“Fine, I’ll have feet. But I’m not using normal fire, that’s weak shit.”
Toga huffs, blowing her fringe out of her eyes. Over the night, her hair has worked itself out of the two messy buns she had it in, and her eye bags have grown and grown.
You can’t see Dabi’s eyebags, mostly because he’s covered them with identical semi-circle burns, the way he’s covered all the ancient markings that litter his body. Those, like his hooves, aren’t fit for even a Quirk-filled society. He just has to remember not to let the glamour slip.
Even so, he looks good.
His red hair is replaced by a thick, inky black, setting off the purple of the burns that decorate his body. His coat, with the edges artfully burnt, has the right kind of sweep, and he looks both sleepy and hot at the same time.
It’s a good look.
Dabi glances out of Toga’s uncurtained window, taking in the slow rise of the sun, “So now are we heading out?”

Explanations (Part 3)
The class had mixed reactions to hearing about the things Adrien had done and the pain he hid behind the mask of being a young male model for a world renowned designer. Marinette and Alya had perhaps the most visceral reactions, Nino stood silent clenching his fist and teeth trying his best to restrain himself from calling Adrien out right then and there. Marinette was crying through most of the story, she was coming to the realization that she didn't know Adrien as well as she once thought. The rest ,including Chloe, were sheepish as the same revelation dawned on them.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm more driven than ever to make sure Adrien's ok" Chloe stated trying to turn the dour atmosphere that had set in. 
Fe' could see spirits flare at Chloe's words as they raised their fists letting out a collective "YEAH!!" thanking Chloe for being the one to say what they needed to hear. The mood had shifted to one of conviction even Marinette ,who was just on the verge of collapse, had seemed to regain her footing and looked more determined than any other.
"Oh and one more thing about Adrien before you go" the class looked at Fe' "He's a total dork and absolute mega nerd, best chance of finding him is at an expo". Adrien whistled a tune that caught the attention of Fe' and the class, Fe' repeated the tune in a different key "Apologies ,I seem to have dragged on, please go have fun" she said with a warm smile. The class was puzzled by what had happened but brushed it off and went on to enjoy the following hours at the pool.
Juleka had gone back to the main pool to talk to Nino "Your 'shy friend' told me to talk to you" he looked to Adrien who was watching from the hot tub.
When he received a confirming nod Nino gave Juleka the address of his uncle's tavern "Go there at around 10:00pm and he'll show you what you need to know". Juleka nodded before returning to Rose's side and enjoying the rest of their time at the pool with the class. Adrien stayed in the hot tub for most of the time but decided to cool off and to see how long he could hold his breath at the bottom of the pool. Nino had noticed him get into the main pool at first but went over to tease him when he did.
"Don't be such a stranger Bro, you decide to finally join the living" he asked jokingly, unfortunately his conversation caught the attention of the class. The girls took a notable interest in Nino's covered friend and were murmuring to one another as the two of them talked.
Adrien spoke quietly and in a timid manner "Hehe sorry man, you know how I get when there's people around" he waved his hand gesturing around him. "Hey do you mind timing me real quick? I want to see how long I can hold my breath at the bottom" he asked pointing toward the deep end of the pool.
Nino gave him a thumbs up "Of course Bro, I'll start counting when you hit the bottom and stop when you breach". Adrien closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let himself sink, once at the bottom he sat cross legged focusing on his heart beat. The girls wanted to get a better look at the boy who covered his head, as Adrien sat the girls all dove swimming toward him. Nino was occupied counting the seconds to notice the girls all swimming past him ,he was at 40 now, the girls swam close enough to touch him when they saw his scars and muscle tone. Adrien had noticed the distinct shift in light and felt the current around him churn and sway, he opened his eyes to see he was surrounded.
His focus broke and he shot himself to the surface gasping for air as he reached the surface, the girls breached soon after ,also gasping for air, around him keeping him from escaping. Adrien's instincts took over and he dove under again pushing off the wall behind him to dive underneath and past them. Before anybody knew what had happened and the girls figured out where he went he was on the opposite side of the pool plastered to the wall. Nino began to swim over and Adrien's head snapped to the noise like a cornered animal, the girls were surprised by his reaction and concerned.
Nino tried to calm his friend "Dude, dude, easy you're fine" he said holding his hands in front of him as he slowly approached getting close enough to grab his shoulders. "Calm down" Nino hushed his voice "Adrien you're fine" he said trying to stop his erratic breathing, slowly Adrien began to calm and his breathing became slow and deep. Adrien's eyes followed the girls as they began to swim closer, Nino raised his to normal speaking level "I think you should go do some breathing in the changing room". Adrien nodded in agreement and got out hustling to the boys locker room wrapping himself in a towel to cover the scars as he did.
"Is...is he going to be ok?" Marinette asked voicing the concern of the group.
Nino rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah he'll be fine, you guys really spooked him though" he said adding with a chuckle "I didn't know he could move that fast". He looked to the changing room "Gonna have to ask him what that was about, though considering his past I can probably make an educated guess".
Fe' was concerned "I think I should get going" she announced "-it was a lot of fun hanging out with you all, and thank you for your hospitality". She waved to the class as she entered the changing room, while she changed she called Adrien's cell.
"What's up Fe', everything ok?" Adrien asked answering his phone.
"I should be the one asking that question" Fe' replied then asking "Must've been a pretty bad flashback huh?".
Adrien rubbed his eyes trying to stop the slight burning from the pool water "Yeah, you leaving too or should I come pick you up later?" he asked as he began changing into jeans and a hoodie.
Fe' sighed and crossed her arms "I told them I was leaving so we can hang at my place until you need to go be a hero".
Adrien finished changing and grabbed his helmet "Sounds like a plan ,meet me outside by the bike, I've gotta talk to Nino real quick" Fe' hung up and left to wait outside. He entered the main pool area with his mask on and and hood up carrying his helmet in one hand, whistling to get Nino's attention as he approached the edge of the pool. Nino swam to meet him halfway but stayed mostly submerged, Adrien squatted down to talk with him as the girls watched sheepishly from the other side of the pool.
"You headin out, Bro?" Nino asked.
Adrien nodded "Yeah and I'm taking Fe' with me so I'll be at her place until later tonight, I'll probably be spending my spare time doing reno at the tavern". He held out his fist "See you later Nino, and tell the girls I said 'sorry, my anxiety flares when I get surrounded' for me".
Nino reached up pounding his fist against Adrien's "Sure thing Bro ,I got you, you go relax" Adrien chuckled before standing and exiting through the changing room. Nino went back to enjoying his time at the pool. Marinette recognized the bike helmet letting her quickly identify the hooded boy as the one who's been picking up Fe' on his bike.
She was curious though "What's his connection to Miss Fe', is he her boyfriend or something, and if he's so shy why ride a motorcycle, what is Nino not telling us" she thought to herself. "Follow me girls, it's time Nino gave us some deets on his friend" she said swimming over to him "Hey Nino, do you mind telling us more about your friend?" she asked.
Nino resorted to telling half truths again "Uhm-well thing is, that's actually the first time I've seen him without a shirt on and he doesn't talk about himself much so...".
Juleka helped him "So you don't know anything about all those scars?" she said pushing hair out of her face to wink.
"Yeah, he told me that he's pretty self conscious and came from a bad place but I never asked out of respect for his privacy" Nino said rolling off Juleka's question. The girls continued to question him for a while but Nino only told what he thought wouldn’t reveal too much or feigned ignorance telling them he didn't know or the subject never came up. Ultimately Marinette wasn't able to learn anything more than what she had already been able to surmise or guess from her observations. Meanwhile Adrien and Fe' were making the short ride to the apartment arriving about three hours before Adrien needed to be Chat and go on patrol with Ladybug.
They were greeted by Belial jumping onto Adrein's head and batting at his face, Adrien blocked his paw "Alright, alright, I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long" he said removing his mask.
Fe' smiled "He must really have a connection with you hehe".
"Well we were both strays when we met and now we got it good, all things considered" Adrien explained grabbing Belial holding him in his arms like a baby "Isn't that right".
Plagg flew from his pocket "Hey what am I sliced cheddar?" he exclaimed.
"Aww come here you little incarnate of destruction" Adrien said reaching up with one arm catching Plagg and nuzzling him "You started this cat troupe".
"Egh! Fe', help me he's being a dork again" Plagg pleaded.
She tried to stifle her laugh but it came out anyway "Hahahaha"
Adrien paused "what so funny?" he asked.
Fe' had to wipe a tear from her eye before answering "Nothing, nothing it's just nice to see you've got a family even though Father treated you like property" she said.
Adrien put Belial on his shoulder and reached over Fe's shoulders, pulling her in "Don't act like you're not part of this Familia". She looked into his eyes before returning his embrace, they stayed inside watching funny videos and playing video games for two and a half hours before Adrien needed to be Chat. He took Belial with him on patrol and planned on taking him to the tavern while he worked to make up for leaving him alone for so long. Adrien transformed in the bathroom "Plagg claws out" and opened the window to leave putting Belial on his usual spot.
"Don't get shot ok" Fe' called from the couch as he left.
He laughed "I make no paw-mises" he called back closing the window and jumping from wall to wall digging his claws into the bricks to make finger holds. Once on the roof he started his patrol route for his half of Paris waiting for Ladybug at the Eiffel tower when he was done but she never showed. "Well looks like LB has her hands full in her civilian life...again" Chat thought aloud "-not like I haven't patrolled the whole city alone before so why should tonight be any different?".
Marinette was hanging out with Alya and the other girls in her room talking about Nino's mysterious friend "I think he’s with Miss Fe'" she said.
"Like..together, what makes you say that?" Mylene asked.
"Marinette, they haven't even been our counselor for two days and has only been in Paris for three, what makes you think they’re connected?" Alya added.
"The helmet" Marinette stated, everyone looked at her puzzled and the room fell silent.
Alix spoke up "You mean the motorcycle helmet, what about it?" she asked.
Marinette began to pace "The past two days after school Miss Fe' got on a bike with someone but I couldn't see the rider's face, and Nino’s friend had it when he came out" she explained. The others expressions still looked lost "Each time she got on she held him, like really close and tight" she elaborated adding "-does that not sound like they know each other?". They continued to gossip through the night while Chat patrolled Paris alone, stopping to wait for Ladybug at the tower one more time.
Chat sat and waited until he was about to de-transform *BEEP BEEP* "Well the city's quiet tonight and I got stuff to do at the tavern" he said to himself scratching behind Belial's ears. He shook his head "First she acts like she despises me, then she acts concerned and willing to listen, then she ditches me? Ok LB, sure, fine, great" he exclaimed annoyed. Extending his staff to the ground he slid down it like a fireman's pole and de-transformed, he wasn't in the mood to care. It was dark and he was wearing a hood and mask ,no one would be able to tell who he was, he walked to Fe's apartment to pick up his bike. It was getting late and Adrien didn't want to bother Fe' to get his Helmet so he decided to ride without one and pick it up tomorrow after patrol. The sound of the bike starting caught the attention of Marinette and the girls, they all rushed to the balcony to see where it was coming from.
Alya spotted the bike's light from across the street pointing to it asking "Is that the bike you were talking about, Mari?".
"Yeah that's it but he still has his face covered and no helmet" Marinette replied "Maybe if we get down there fast en-" he was already down the street before she could finish her thought.
"Darn!" Alya exclaimed "Well at least we know where he'll be tomorrow, question now is when" she said. Then as if a light bulb went on in her mind "Hey why don't we stay the night and take shifts watching the building" she suggested.
"Ooooh like a stake out?" Rose asked practically jumping at the thought.
Alya winked "Exactly" she said making a finger gun.
Juleka raised a finger stating "We should go get our pajamas and sleeping bags if we're staking out that 'shy friend' of Nino's" everyone looked to each other giving a determined agreeing nod. All at once they filed off Marinette's balcony and out the door running to their houses, Juleka took a different route than normal to go to the address Nino had given her.
With everyone out of the room Tikki flew out from behind the books she had been hiding behind "Marinette, you were supposed to be on Patrol with Chat tonight" she said.
Marinette pulled at her hair "Oh no you're right, do you think we can still catch him?".
Tikki face palmed "That was hours ago, Chat's probably finished by now" she looked around looking like she was searching for something "But I don't feel Plagg's presence".
"So then he might still be out there" Marinette said taking her stance "Tikki-".
"WAIT!" Tikki shouted "If you're not here when your friends come back they'll be suspicious" she explained with a serious tone "Chat will be fine". Marinette raised a hand to argue but Tikki cut her off "You'll have to make it up to him later ,for now, you should get ready for guests don't you think?".
Marinette deflated "You're right, I'll go make some snacks and grab snacks" she said with a defeated sigh.
Juleka was almost at the address but she was hesitant to enter the alley that was supposed to lead her to it "Is this really where Adrien’s been hiding all this time?" she asked aloud. The sound of a motorcycle approaching filled her ears, Adrien saw her looking at him standing at the entrance of the alley. He was curious as to what Juleka was doing out so late let alone staring into alleys like a little kid who's scared of what's crawling in the fog.
Adrien stopped next to her "What are you doing all the way out here, isn't you place down by the river?" he asked taking his hood down to reveal his blonde hair.
Juleka rubbed her arm replying "Nino told me to go to this address around this time and that 'you'd show me everything I needed to know' but I think I've got the wrong street".
"No you got the right street, taverns right down there" he said shaking his head and pointing into the mist filled alley.
Juleka shrunk back "Uhm" Adrien got off his bike and held out his arm toward her, Belail walked across over his arm jumping to her. She caught him in her arms and he began to nuzzle her purring loudly.
"Hold him" he said offering her his hand, Juleka took it holding Belial close with her other arm as they walked through the fog. After a few feet in the front of the tavern became visible, he opened the door gently pulling her through the door way trying to warn her "Mind the step". The warning didn't come fast enough and she tripped dropping Belial and letting out a surprised yelp, Adrien still had her hand and managed to catch her before she fell. Belial had landed on his feet but was spooked and ran behind the bar, Juleka might as well have been hugging Adrien thanks to the position they were in.
"I got ya, Jule?" Adrien said not moving out of fear she would fall again ,she tightened her hold around him, "Uh Jule, are you ok?".
"You have everyone worried sick" she said tightening her hold again "Why won't you just come back?" she asked demandingly.
Adrien sighed "I would have thought the pool story would be enough reason, but if it was then you wouldn't be here" he said. She let go and he went to turn on the lights pulling out a chair along the way telling her "You might want to sit down" as the lights came on, Juleka refused. "Then at least stand in front of it, trust me" he pleaded, begrudgingly she sat in the chair and waited for him to explain "Thank you" he said. Slowly he reached up and began to remove his mask, stopping just before he moved it away from his face "Last chance to take the story as explanation," he told her. Juleka was silent "Alright" moving the mask away he showed his bare teeth and large scar.
Juleka gasped and covered her mouth looking like she was about to pass out from shock, Adrien chuckled "Told you".

Hero
Chapter 9/??
Relationship: Todoroki Shouto x Reader (Your/Name), (Full/Name)
Summit: It all begin at the Sports Festival when Shouto’s other half met Endevour by mistake. The student never thought to see his partner fight against his father just to show him that he is wrong. It started from that instant, Shouto’s new path started exactly from that moment thanks to his friends and his beloved one.
— 
Fortunately, All Might is nearby and Tenya calls for him. The living legend literally lifts you up and drags you to Recovery Girl again, while Midoriya and Iida are following him, watching you anger up. You tried to escape but the hero is blocking the exit, so you stand immobile to stare at him for five minutes straight, then go back to the seat in front of the heroine and drop your hands on the table.
<<The next time I’ll fucking crush his skull against something so strongly that his bones will turn into dust…>> the student whispers evil murdering plans with a very adapted gaze, <<I’ll beat the shit out of- Ow!>>
<<It’s the same as before.>> says the old lady, <<Your muscles are too tense, I can’t pierce them, you need to relax. I don’t wanna give you more medicines.>>
<<Are you trying to kill me? Ok, I get it, I’ll relax. God fucking dammit- Ouch!>>
<<A lady shouldn’t say those words.>>
<<Grr… Am I allowed to break something?>>
<<No, you must use your hands the most less possible.>>
<<I can use my legs to->>
<<This is my office, you are not allowed to destroy anything.>> her voice is angry but when she sees the student hits the head on the table and stays like that, she pats her gently, <<Calm down, sweetheart.>>
<<Can I have my phone at least? I need music.>> Izuku takes it from your pocket, he searches the title, presses play and leaves the phone near you.
A beautiful song comes out from the speakers, an instrumental one played with violin and other instruments which blend so wonderfully together. It’s so relaxing and well written that Beethoven is a stupid in confront; the compositor selected all deep notes and when it goes to the higher ones, the rhythm doesn’t change so much, it’s the same deep, touching and relaxing song. (Y/N) closes her eyes and softly sings along.
<<It’s very beautiful, young (Y/N). Who wrote it?>> All Might leaves the door now that you’re relaxed, in fact his colleague can do her job easily.
<<Me and my mom.>> she replies with a sleepy voice, <<I love this song…>>
<<You did a wonderful job. Please tell it to your parents too.>>
<<They died in a car accident ten years ago…>> a tear is resting on the edge of your eye, <<This is the last song we composed together… I couldn’t even say sorry to her for what I’ve done.>>
<<Oh… I’m sorry, I asked something bad.>> the hero caresses your back kindly with his big hands, <<But I’m sure they are proud of you. You are strong, gentle and smile everyday->>
<<My father hated me due to my quirk… Control seven forms it’s difficult, I was little and I was training to master a new one, but I burned down the garden… and after that, nothing could grow again on that soil.>>
<<It’s a science reaction, the fire destroys brutally the ground, it takes ages to go back like it was.>> explains Tenya hoping to cheer you up a little, <<It wasn’t your fault.>>
<<Yeah, as if kids can understand that sophisticated mechanism.>> she mutters, <<My father never called me by name, never told me lovely words, never said “happy birthday” or caress me even once… My mom was my light. She was a huge fan of you, All Might-sensei.>>
<<What a big honor.>> the teacher is moved by your story, as Midoriya and Tenya, <<I wanted to meet her.>>
<<She was smiling and saying super cool things about you, she was always arguing with neighbors because her strong sense of justice…>> the girl smiles sadly, <<She taught me how to play the violin and the piano, and was during those days that I decided to become someone like her.>>
<<Can I ask why you hate Endevour so much?>> this time is Recovery Girl who asked the question.
<<Because he is like my father. I know how it feels when you’re bent and broken, how it feels when your dignity is stolen, I know how it feels when someone keeps their chains on you.>> she raises the head and rests her chin on the cold surface, <<Day after day, I defended mom from him, and when we went to a company to produce our last song, my light was taken away from me.>>
<<I see, so you should treasure a lot this song.>> the doctor starts to bandage your hands, <<You father played an instrument too?>>
<<No. Mom’s compositions were so good to be sold almost immediately, he married her just for fame, money and his ego. I feel always so bad when I go to see her… That day, was the first time I argued with her, she was too kind with that shitty husband… I’ve said bad things to her and never said sorry for that.>>
<<You were in the car too?>> Iida asks as he watches your hands be covered by bandages.
<<Yeah, but I don’t remember anything from the accident, only a truck coming towards us, a bright light and then, a few doctors were talking about permanent damages on my back with my grandparents.>> she turns off the music and opens her eyes, <<Ah don’t worry, that damage is only a scar, nothing else.>>
<<Ok sweetheart, you can go.>> Mic announced that in few minutes the next round starts, <<Don’t use them too much, am I clear?>>
<<Yes ma’am! Then->>
<<How can you talk about this tragedy smiling?>> Izuku questioned seeing you like the old days at school.
<<Because if I let this win over me, I could never be a hero.>>
(And here we are at another round! Fighters, get on the stage! We have the ordinary section with a psychic quirk that we haven’t seen yet! He is (choose a name)! And on the other side we have the student who is the most voted to win the festival! She fights with logic and strategy, during this event, we have seen her quirk for the first time, and damn that was cool! I’m talking about (F/N) of the hero course!)
You and your opponent stand in front of each other. Meanwhile, your brain is thinking a way to beat that guy without hurting him. It’s a little bothersome but you must stick up with it.
((Y/N), Recovery Girl reported that your hands aren’t in conditions to fight.) Aizawa’s voice brings you back to the field, (And said that you took a few medicines, do you feel to fight anyway?)
“He looks like a jerk but deep inside, Aizawa-sensei is a good and kind person.” moving the hair behind the ear, you reply with a strong nod, <<Yes, don’t worry Erased Head-sensei. I have all under control!>>
(What, you injured?! (Y/N), how?) Mic is too curious and shocked, Recovery Girl reported that to Aizawa only, and not him.
<<I fell down the stairs… Hehe.>> you admit touching your neck, <<I wasn’t pay attention. Please do not worry, I’m really fine and I can fight until the end!>>
(If you’re ok with this, then should we begin? Ready?! Go!)
The hero course student runs at full speed towards the rival, obligating him to attack for defense but the match is converted in a one-way game. The psychic boy uses his quirk to accelerate and reinforce his attacks but they are all futile, they don’t even hit the target. This situation goes for a while, until you stop and wait with your joined hands on the back, that the opponent reaches you.
(Oh, (Y/N) stopped to dodge and play with her enemy! Is she ready to end the match or she is done? Until now, she dodged everything with a majestic agility, her legs were moving so fast that she danced on the ring! Did you take meds? Your body is too elastic and agile to be numbed by them! Anyway, here we are, (name of the student) charges but (Y/N) doesn’t move!! Wait… Does (name of the student) slowing down?)
The girl closes her eyes as a punch is going to hit her, but the rival falls heavily on the ground almost touching your feet.
<<Please, take distance (Y/N).>> Midnight gets off the pedestal to check the adolescent, <<He passed out…>>
“Maybe I went too far?” you stay still and far from your comrade as ordered. “I was careful to not use it too much…” the teacher stands up and points the whip on the woman.
<<(name of the student) is unconscious! (Y/N) advance to the final round!>>
While the entire stadium is cheering for the overwhelming victory, you make a few steps forward and call the heroine.
<<Excuse me ma’am, can I do something about him? It was my power, I can wake him up. May I?>>  
<<If it was your quirk, then go ahead.>> the woman steps aside and watch over you while kneeling, rest a hand on the student’s back and free strange purple flames. “Three different forms…”
(Woah, what are those?! A new side of your quirk? (Y/N), how many cards are you still hiding?)
<<It’s a secret.>> flames are absorbed by your rival and after a few seconds, he wakes up, <<Are you ok? I apologize, I went too far.>> even with those injured hands, you offer a help to get up, <<Nice fight.>>
<<You too.>> he stands up and shakes your hand gently, <<Congratulations.>>
(These two are the spirit of this festival!! Look at them, shaking hands friendly! Give them another clapping! Oi mummy hero, say something!)
(What should I say? She never used her hands, still her victory was obvious. We don’t know how her quirk works, so as her future opponents. She charged first to move him and do what she wanted, the rest, I suppose she was using her quirk in an efficient way. (Y/N) fought with logic and strategy. As always.)
When you come back to the bleachers, you find Izuku waiting with an opened notebook. You smile and follow him ready to answer all his questions. Iida and Momo are trying to stop him but you first apologize for what happened before, covering yourself with an excuse. Gladly, everyone forgives you laughing and then, they sit in circle.
<<W-what is this?>> you ask a little uncomfortable, <<Maybe do I need to do something to make up?>>
<<(Y/N)-chan can you explain me what happened? Please!>> Izuku is like a leader of a fan club, <<Please!>>
<<That was my third form: Greed.>> she explains, then decides to make everything more interesting, <<But how it works?>> she touches Midoriya and he drops the pen, <<Make your guess.>> with the other hand, she evokes the purple flame from before, but this time is so tiny.
<<I can’t close my fist…>> whisper Izuku, <<How?>>
<<Can I try it?>> Kirishima stands next to you, <<Thanks- What?!>> he falls on his knees and the flame on your hand increases its volume, <<I feels dizzy and heavy…>>
<<How about now?>> smiling, the girl touch Eijiro with the fire and it’s absorbed by his body.
<<Oh!>> he jumps up, <<It’s back!>>
<<And you Izuku?>> she does the same with her friend, <<Can you close your hand now?>>
<<This form steals the energy of other people…>> he starts to write down everything, <<If she touches you, the force is stolen and the same amount is converted in purples flames. Your body is unable to move due to the huge lack of energy and when the flames are absorbed by your own body, the strength you’ve lost is back.>> he stops and looks at you, <<What was its name? I forgot, I was too focused to understand how it worked.>>
<<Greed.>> every time, every time he enters in this mode, it always makes you smile.
<<Greed, the name it’s perfect for- Ah, then the two forms you used in the cavalry battles?>>
<<This is my second form, Lust.>> you touch the ground and the flames freeze everything until you retire them, <<As you saw, it keeps going until I stop it or turn it off.>>
<<I see, so as the deadly sin, this form can’t be satisfied if is free from your control… Cool and dangerous. He has other characteristics?>>
<<Yes, but I won’t say it until I’m obligated to show them.>> Midoriya finishes to write down his thoughts and asks the last one, the lightning one, <<Fifth form, Melancholy.>> after evoking it, everyone shouts their shock.
<<Are flames and not lighting? What?! How!>>
<<I, I!>> Uraraka stands up proudly and explains how it works, and adds: <<So far, she has always the weaker forms between the seven she ha- Ah, now I remember! You touched the earring! So, this mean that you used a strong one!>>
<<What? Earring? Seven forms? Wait, wait!>> Izuku writes something again and asks for more information.
<<Did you not tell him?>> Tenya and Ochako shake their heads, <<Then, I’ve said it to them, so you guys have the right too. My quirk has seven forms that I keep sealed with this earring. It’s almost impossible for me to controlled all of them at once, so and if I take this off, probably I walk with seven fires all around me.>>
<<Amazing!!>> Midoriya writes again when you stop him on his drawing, <<Did I get it wrong?>> you explain that the seven fires are disposed in a semi-circular way upon your head, <<Oh, like this?>>
<<Yes.>> everyone pushes to see the sketch, <<This is how I look like if I don’t have the earring.>>
<<You idiot woman.>> and then Bakugou speaks, <<I’m here you know, and now I know most of your secrets. Are you underestimate me? In the finals, I’ll take my revenge.>>
<<I’m hard to take down.>> you reply, <<And you know that I have another four forms to show and use? Don’t get too cocky or you’re gonna end like our last match, yelling angry hero.>>
<<What?! How did you call me? I’ll kick your ass, you fire bitch!>>
<<Hahaha, I wanna see it if you can actually do it.>> he tried to hit you with a surprise punch from behind, but you block it successfully and easily, <<Mph, try next….>> the girl jumps from her seat holding the hand, <<You fuckin’ ugly son a bitch…>> she crouches down, <<It hurts so much, you jackass…. Fuck me, god fucking damn it->>
<<Uhm, (Y/N)-chan, your another personality is out.>> Izuku’s words bring you back, you are not alone!
<<!!>> she closes her mouth with both hands, <<N-no, I didn’t said->>
<<Pff, ahahaha! (Y/N) you’re really the best!>> Kirishima laughs, honestly amused by your reaction, <<Don’t worry, we are used to Bakugou, and you don’t need to hide from us, we are friends!>> those words are a bless for you, no one is afraid by you or your rough personality, this class is like your new home.
<<What a loser!>> Bakugou stands and goes to the stairs next him, when he’s about to say something, he slips on the ice and hits the head, <<Fucking fuck!>>
<<Watch your step…>> you’re hiding your laugh so hard, <<Izuku don’t laugh!>> everyone is doing the same, that scene was priceless.
<<You motherfucker!>> Katsuki is stopped by your smile, it’s too sly, what else did you do, <<What!>>
<<Nothing.>>
<<Stupid bitch!>> he turns his heel and walks away, without notice that his pants have a modify on the back zone.
<<(Y/N)-chan that was…>> Izuku is trying his best to not cry and laugh at the same time, so your friends. See Bakugou’s underwear was priceless, first the epic fall and then the big humiliation.
Quite evil for someone who aims to be a hero.
