The tension was so thick that Izuku doubted even a one hundred percent Delaware Smash could break through it. At the very least Fuyumi was here with him, her injuries fully healed, she looked wonderful, even as she kept looking at her father then back to him, she'd smile for a moment and then look down at the table.
She was cute enough to almost make him forget about where they were and who they were with. Almost but not quite.
"Oh, my GOODNESS!" All-Might exploded from his seat to Izuku's right. He had already and began to eat the large meal that Fuyumi had made for this event. "Young Fuyumi, did you make this? It is simply amazing."
"Oh," Fuyumi squeaked, jumping up in her seat, just enough to make her hair flop and her chest bounce. Izuku tried to look elsewhere but his eyes were constantly drawn to Fuyumi, she was just so beautiful. "Thank you Mr. All-Might, but my quirk makes cooking easy so it's nothing, special."
"Oh nonsense," His mother spoke softly from his left, a bit of Fuyumi's stew sitting in a spoon just waiting to enter her mothy. This was so embarrassing his own mother and All Might were being so rude! Shoto hadn't even started to eat yet, to say nothing of Endeavor! "You're a wonderful cook! I worry that Izuku might get fat if he marries you."
"Mom!" He couldn't believe this, his mother was just making things worse! They were here because Endeavor had asked them all here to discuss his relationship with Fuyumi! This was not the time to be talking about Marriage! "Can you please not say stuff like that?"
"What?" Inko asked curiously she took another bite of the stew and smiled. "Why not? She can cook, has a good job lined up, and she's beautiful to boot. If I were you Izuku I'd be taking her a lot more seriously."
"I am taking her seriously," He mumbled looking into the food before him. He glanced up and saw that Fuyumi was blushing. A lot. Her face a mask of crimson as she sucked in her lips, hands folded neatly in her lap, eyes pinched suck like she just ate a sour lemon. At Least they were united in their Mutual embarrassment.
"I'm inclined to agree, Izuku is one of the few men good enough to date my sister," Shoto said a soft smile on his face. Izuku didn't know if he should thank him or punch him into next week. He settled on more blushing.
His face was starting to hurt from all this blushing. He couldn't take it anymore he just wanted to go outside and scream. This was worse than any fight with any villain ever. And the worse part wasn't even here. He was going to have to fight with Endeavor of all people about why he should be allowed to date Fuyumi. Maybe the could settle with Arm wrestling?
Endeavor walked into the dining room, holding a small device and a remote in his hand. He was dressed up in a suit that could barely contain his heroic muscles. With a scrutinous look, Endeavour examined the food and gave a quick nod to Fuyumi before he began to set up.
"Inko," Endeavor boomed as he pointed the device at the wall, it almost looked like a miniature projector. And wait, since when were his mom and Endeavour on first name basis? They weren't friends on facebook were they? "Could you get the lights for me?"
"Sure thing Enji. " Where was the stammering and blushing and general worriedness her mom showed when she talked to other pro-heroes? Why was she smiling like her and Endeavor were good friends? They weren't meeting and hanging out were they?
The second the lights went off Endeavor's miniature projector kicked on buzzing lightly on the table. On the far wall, an image was displayed, it was stark white aside from bold letters that read.
TODOROKI - MIDORIYA COMPATIBILITY
"Kill me now." Fuyumi groaned slamming her head on the table. She let out a low whine that was more of a groan. "Ow."
"Take me with you," Izuku whispered, extended a hand across the table to hers. She took it and gave him a soft smile that was sweeter than any dessert.
"I thank you all for coming here tonight," Endeavor stood straight with one hand behind his back, the permanent scowl on his face was lifted slightly. "The reason why I called you all here tonight is to discuss the relationship between my daughter Fuyumi Todoroki, and the hero Deku: Izuku Midoriya."
A click and the projector shuttered and the next slide was displayed, it was a photo of their date, specifically them at the hospital, with Fuyumi asleep and Izuku holding onto her hand also passed out. It might have been adorable if it wasn't creepy.
"Photo credit to my son Shoto." Endeavor closed his eyes and nodded towards Shoto. "While he was happy to provide the photo my son refused to provide any details about the relationship, however using Facebook I was able to track down the beginnings of the relationship, but that is of little consequences."
Was it possible to die from embarrassment? Izuku looked towards his girlfriend and saw that either the blood had drained from her face, or her blush had reached white-hot levels.
Another slide, this one a giant question mark with 'will it work?' written under it.
"I will save my opinions for the end, but as we progress through these slides I would like you to ask yourselves if it will work."
Great, he knew that Endeavor was not happy with their relationship but this was just a whole other level.
The slide changed again, showing a naked photo of Izuku, from his last health screening. There were many stats listed on the side and several movies playing to demonstrate those stats.
"Izuku Midoriya is a contender for becoming number one hero, his natural build is lean and quick, but he has above average muscle mass for other heroes of similar size. In terms of intellect in planning, he posses a strategic mind that may be his greatest asset. Numerous times he has demonstrated the ability to overcome impossible odds by finding unique and creative solutions with what is available to him." There was a pause as Endeavor grunted, rolling his massive shoulders in discomfort, his scowl turning deeper and softer. "He also has what the public calls the spirit of a true hero in that if he can help someone he will, often at great harm to himself."
Izuku wanted to die.
"That's my boy Young Midoriya, I knew that you would become an excellent hero." All Might slapped him on the back, taking a break from eating the lion's share of Fuyumi's dinner.
"Oh my Izuku, look how buff you are!" His mother gushed from his left. "I remember when you were just a pudgy little twelve year old."
He looked to Fuyumi, hoping that she wasn't staring at the photo. She was. Her face burned red, and her cup of tea was rapidly boiling away. A slight bit of drool could be seen on her face. Well, that was good. Probably. At Least his girlfriend found him attractive enough to boil tea.
"Ahem," Endeavor coughed until the room was silent. "Deku's Quirk appears to be a strength enhancer that allows him to exert his body beyond its physical limits. In many ways, it was similar to the quirk of his father All Might."
"Enji, we've been over this." All Might waved his hand in front of the machine for a moment casting a mighty shadow. "I am not Young Midoriya's father I simply mentored him when I discovered we had similar Quirks."
"Yes," His mother joined in. "I even showed you the birth certificate."
"Hmm, I remained unconvinced, but it matters little." Endeavor cracked his neck and continued. "Originally this quirk was unreliable in that it caused damage to Izuku himself, Thankfully this is no longer the case and he is able to go all out when needed."
The slide changed again, showing a picture of Fuyumi during her high school graduation. At least Endeavor was human enough to realize that putting up a picture of his own daughter naked was not a good idea. "My Daughter Fuyumi, below average physical ability, above average intellect, afraid of pain, and has no combat or situational awareness."
"Thanks, dad."
"Her quirk," Endeavor continued without even looking at his daughter. "Was once one I deemed as a utility, it allows her to sense the exact temperatures of nearby people and objects, furthermore it allows her to change the temperatures without touching them. The upper limit of how fast and how much she can change is currently unknown and could make for a powerful quirk if Fuyumi had a mind for it."
Fuyumi shifted in her seat, fiddling with her hands.
Another click.
POSSIBILITIES AND CONCLUSION.
"While the traits between Fuyumi and Izuku are not directly relatable, several combinations could blossom from their union. Although I cannot account for new quirks being created, I can say that a combination of their quirks would be spectacular, such as increasing the body's temperature to temperature's I can't even reach or decrease them well below freezing." Endeavor clicked and the slideshow stopped, only his flaming beard illuminated the room. "After reviewing the possibilities I have concluded that a marriage between Fuyumi and Izuku would be a great benefit and would lead to strong grandchildren."
"Oh, you two would be so cute together," Inko jumped up from her seat and ran to the light switch. "I'm with Enji, you two most certainly should get married."
This was not, how he thought this was going to go. He thought he was going to have to fight for Fuyumi, there was no way that Enji would be willing to let anybody date his daughter right? He could see the man not caring what his daughter did. But to try and marry her off?
"I have a marriage contract here, I believe that you will find the terms are quite generous."
They were treating this like a lawsuit! Or like Fuyumi was some car to be sold off.
Fuyumi!
She was pressed against the wall, crying. She was crying and there was nothing he could do about it. His fists were clenched, he could feel himself slipping into full cowl. He needed to do something. He had to do something.
"Enough!" Izuku roared, getting all eyes on him. His face was red with anger as he stood up. "Listen I care for Fuyumi. I like her a lot. But whether or not we get married is not up to you, it won't be because our quirks might be compatible it will be because we decide it's something we want to do."
He walked over to Fuyumi his anger fading, as she looked up at him. The look he gave her made his heart skip a beat, it made his legs feel like they were made of jello, there was only a single thought that came into his mind that struck with the clarity of thunder; Fuyumi loved him. And he loved her. "Come on, let's get out of here."
He picked her up, she was so light and warm, even as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"My hero," she whispered, making every hair on his body stand on end. They left the room quickly before anybody could object or get over his sudden outburst. Once he stood in the crisp night air did Izuku finally let Fuyumi down. She placed a kiss on his cheek. "I'm so sorry about that."
"No, it's okay, I think my mom was just as bad, I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner, and I'm sorry that you had to umm see me naked, and that-" She placed a gentle finger on his lips.
"Izuku, I love that you worry so much, but let's just forget okay? Why don't we go see a movie, or do I don't know something fun like Karaoke?" There was that look again, he wanted her to always look at him like that. It made him feel like he truly was the best hero in the world.
"Sounds like fun, let's go." Izuku offered her his arm which she gladly took.
"Young Midoriya!" All Might called from the entrance. He strode out in full heroic pose chest out and long swinging arms. "A moment of your time we have something of vital importance we must discuss. In private."
"Can it wait?" Izuku looked at his hero and Fuyumi. "We were just about to leave."
"I'm afraid it cannot. Fear not it will take but a moment."
Fuyumi released his arm and smiled. "Go, Izuku I can wait a little bit. You're just lucky I don't get cold."
All Might led him around the corner and made sure that no one was listening. "Listen to me Izuku, this is of vital importance. You must not have children."
"Not you too?" Izuku groaned flapping his hands, he had expected his mother to be on the kid train, but he had hoped All Might would simply be happy for him. "Can't you just."
"No, you misunderstand me Izuku. I'm happy for your relationship. But do you remember how One for All is transfered? With DNA?"
"What does that have to… oh, oh, oh! But I thought that only happened if you wanted to transfer it."
"It does, and most of the time you should be safe, and erm," All Might scratched the back of his mighty head and gave a mighty blush. "Just don't let her swallow, but besides that when you are having err, sex with the intent of having a child, you may accidentally wish for the child to receive One for All. It happened once before with the third and fourth holders."
"Oh." Did Fuyumi want children? What would she say if she found out that they couldn't?
All Might placed a mighty hand on Izuku's shoulder and squeezed. "Listen, don't worry about it too much, have fun with your girlfriend. Just… be careful okay?"
Izuku nodded.
