"So, this is your room. We can go shopping later to fill it with things you want" Aizawa said looking away.
Izuku smiled wide at the bare room with a twin bed. Already he could picture hanging up all the pictures he and Mirio had taken over the years, Tamaki joining in on the photos and then Nejire.
"It's great, can't wait…da-Aizawa." Izuku said choking up.
Mirio and the others stood hugging Izuku taking in the scene.
"Aww, this is too much for me, Izuku I think I'm going to cry!" Mirio yelled.
"What are you three doing here may I ask?" Aizawa deadpanned.
The three older teens gasped at their teachers' words.
"Eraser head, we're here for moral support. This is a big day for Izuku!" Mirio yells, not noticing Izuku snort at their excuse of wanting to see what Aizawa's apartment looks like.
"Uh huh, well if you wouldn't mind leaving us so we could get acquainted that'd be great."
The three looked to Izuku to confirm this was okay, seeing him nod they saluted to the younger boy, the exception being Nejire who was quick to give him kiss on the cheek, which left Izuku covering his face and Aizawa looking at the girl as she left.
"Soo."
"So."
"Why did you adopt me?" Izuku asks.
"I'll be honest kid, when Togata first told me about you I wasn't sure what to think. But then he shows me that picture of you and him dressed up as Shino and the others and I can't help but want to get to know you." He said with a shrug.
Izuku looks to the older man skeptical, "That's it?"
"Then he tells me how you've been bullied because you follow the quirk laws to a T because of something your mom told you before she died, and then the mass of potential I see in you, and I think this kid deserves better. This future hero deserves a family, and yeah you may have Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki but you need a home a real home with a real father figure, and I may not be the best at it, but I'll be damned if I don't try to be one for you." Aizawa says.
By the end of his speech Izuku is crying, hearing from this man he's barely known for about a year, that he cares for him that much, and sees potential in him. It feels nice. And he said he'd be a father for him, somethings he's wanted since his dad gave him up because he didn't want his family in America to find out about him.
"Thank you. Thank you so much" Izuku says.
"You don't need to thank me for something that should've been done a long time ago" Aizawa says, before adding, "Now onto the fact you're dating Hadou".
"I'm so happy for you Izuku" Kendo said a bright smile on her face as the boy in front of her retells the story of his adoption to her.
Izuku uncaring of the tears running down his face smiles at his friend. "I know, I can't believe I've finally been adopted, and by a pro-hero no less".
Kendo went to hug the boy, "Honestly Midoriya if anyone deserves this it's you. Now if you would only get better at Karate".
The girl ducked under the boy's punch, laughing at the boy's pout. "Sorry Midoriya, I had too."
"Sure, you did" the boy mumbled trying but failing to hide his smile.
"Izu-kun!" Nejire yelled calling the attention of a green haired boy discussing other styles of martial arts he might be better at with an orange haired girl by the beach.
"Izu-bro! We found you!" a second cartoonish face yelled rushing from the ground towards the same target.
"Izuku" a third voice whispered slowly slinking at the same person who when looking closely you could see a giant smile erupting on his face until it dawned on him that he was most likely going to be embarrassed again in front of Itsuka Kendo by his best friends, doesn't this feel familiar, Izuku thought.
Looking over his shoulder he saw the girl still standing there, a small smile forming on her face. Doesn't this feel familiar, she thought.
Ok Izuku she's your friend so maybe she'll be okay with your weirdo friends. Who are you kidding just get her out of here before Nejire and the others freak her out?
"OH-HO-HO, what do we have here?" Mirio said popping up from the ground naked, prompting Izuku to shield Kendo's eyes until Tamaki showed up with Mirio's pants.
"Why thank you Tamaki. As I was saying what do we have here?" Mirio said resuming his questioning as he put his pants on.
"I think our little Izu-kun was trying to flirt with someone who wasn't me" Nejire said, gasping dramatically, while Mirio and Tamaki laughed aloud at Izuku's blushing face, and Kendo's bemused face.
"Is our long-distance relationship not working for you?" Nejire pouted.
"What the, no I swear I'm happy with us really! I would never." Izuku spluttered, "This is Kendo remember the one who I told you was helping me learn martial arts!" Izuku said red faced, when he realized she was just joking.
Izuku looked at the girl in front of him poking fun smiling, "You're gonna be the death of me Nejire" he sighed.
Kendo looked to the four expressionless holding back her laughter at the eccentricities of the older teens.
"Wow, we're gone training to be heroes for a few months and look at Izuku breaking girls', namely Nejire's, hearts" Mirio jokes, "And after all I did to get you two together".
"What are you talking about, I haven't done anything!" Izuku yells, "And all you did was say you two are dating now and Tamaki and I are tagging along on your dates, Miri-bro!"
"Semantics" Mirio says.
"This is a long-distance relationship Izuku, we can never be sure" Nejire says winking, then looking to the orange haired girl, "You should watch out Kendo, this beefcake is a little flirt. Before we started dating all he ever did was flirt with girls" Nejire says trying to hold in her laughter but failing.
Izuku scoffs at his girlfriend who was just messing with him, "No I'm not, even before we were dating you wouldn't even let me flirt with anyone to even see if I could" kicking a pebble he points to the girl accusingly, "You scared away every girl I tried to talk to, remember that one girl who I was talking too, she had that spiked ponytail?"
"Nope doesn't ring a bell" Nejire says with an innocent face, although she totally does.
"Nu, uh don't give me that face, I know you do. I had just finished a conversation with her about quirk theory when she was about to give me her number, then you pounced on my back and said , "Oooh Nice one Izu-kun she'll be a great addition to our harem" and made her run away before I could tell her you were joking" Izuku couldn't help but chuckle at the memory, even if he was disappointed he didn't get the hot girls number back then, Oh well's at least Nejire is giving me a shot, for some reason.
"Who said I was joking about wanting the harem back then?" Nejire said seriously, before bursting out laughing at Izuku's and Kendo's red face.
"Not funny Nejire" Izuku says with his face covered.
"It kind of is" Mirio says smiling.
"To be fair Nejire was throwing out huge hints about wanting to date you that you were oblivious to" Tamaki whispered, unfortunately ignored by the others who were still making fun of Izuku.
While Izuku doesn't even try to hide his groan directed towards his friends.
Kendo smiles softly at her friend, who looks happier than she's seen him in the two months they've been training.
It was spring break and Mirio had said that he wanted to train with Izuku like old times. Aizawa had said it was alright since he had gotten good control over his quirk so here he was on a Saturday heading to the beach. Izuku agreed it'd be nice to have some one on one training except when he got to the beach, he didn't see just his Miri-bro he saw Nejire and Tamaki too. He didn't mind of course, he never really trained with those two, he was just curious as to what they would be doing with them.
"Ahh, Izubro nice to see you arrive, are you ready for your training!" Mirio yelled.
"Sure bro, but what are we doing exactly?" Izuku asked confused.
"We are going to do a 10 km run following this route around Musutafu and carrying these weights" Mirio said holding up a hiking bag.
"Uh okay, but why are there only two bags of weights and four of us?"
Mirio looked to the side, before looking to Izuku guiltily, "well I kinda forgot you're backpack".
Izuku sweat dropped, looks like this run was gonna be a breeze.
"But don't worry that's why I called Nejire here. See at first it was only going to be You, Tamaki and I, but then when I realized I forgot your weights, I figured what's the next best thing for you to run and carry!"
Izuku could already feel a drop in his stomach at Mirio's next words.
'Nejire!" While Nejire is a bit heavier than our weights-
"Hey!"
"I'm sure she'll still be light enough for you to run the route with no problems!" Mirio shouts, while him and Tamaki put on their backpacks, Mirio's looking far heavier than his friends.
"But, I mean, Nejire on my back, I don't know" Izuku said stuttering as he finally took stock in what his girlfriend was wearing.
"She's only wearing a sports bra and gym shorts. Really short gym shorts!" he thought.
"Be a man Izuku and carry your girlfriend around Japan!" Mirio joked. Now come on if we finish in time, we can eat at the American restaurant All Might likes!" Mirio says as an incentive.
Apparently, it's the right thing to say as Midoriya goes to scoop Nejire onto his back and begins to jog his way to the restaurant.
The last thing they see before he disappears is Nejire sending them a thumbs up.
"I knew that would work" Mirio says smiling.
"Should we run after him?" Tamaki asks.
"Nah, I already ordered a taxi".
Don't worry All Might as I said will be showing up soon, as well as Bakugou. People probably miss him. I just wanted to get Izuku and his friend ship with the soon to be big three solid to the point when he gets to U.A. you can imagine how protective they will be over their little cinnamon roll. Few more chapters I swear.
