"This is quite a surprise, Midoriya," said Shino Sosaki, AKA Mandalay. Izuku had flown over to the Pussy Cats downtown office in a hurry. They were both in their hero outfits sitting inside her office in cat-themed chairs, complete with fake tails poking out from the bottom of them. Shino hadn't applied her cat whisker makeup yet or her headpiece.

In fact, the whole office was cat themed with paraphernalia stacked high on the desks, gaudy colors all over the place. Izuku decided to refrain from commenting on it, remembering the special All Might shrine behind a locked door in his house. He wasn't one to judge people's sense for interior decorating.

"I'm sorry about this, Mandalay. I know it's short notice. But… something just came up that concerns me. And I was hoping to get your help. I've come across a situation that demands me to exercise greater control over my mental defences."

"Oh? How come? Are you worried about villains with telepathic types of quirks like my own?"

Before, Izuku had trained with the vestiges in order to keep Shigaraki out of his head, but since that hadn't proved effective enough, he had been given no choice but to turn to the one person he knew who could possibly help him: Shino. It had been a short while since they'd last met, but he knew she was always more than willing to help him.

But even so, he couldn't tell her the real reason why he was asking this of her. While the world knew about One for All and All for One, the exact extent of the relationship between the two quirks was still largely under wraps. While Izuku trusted Shino well enough, this was a secret best kept to a select few. Only Ochaco, Katsuki, Shoto and several others knew. He hadn't even gotten around to telling his other girlfriends yet. Furthermore, Tsukauchi had instructed the guards listening in to keep what Shigaraki had said to themselves, so that was one less thing to worry about.

"Yeah, something like that. I just can't afford to be compromised like this, so I was hoping that you could help me practice. Is that okay?"

Shino nodded. "Midoriya, you're the reason Kota is still alive. Whatever you need, I'll be right there for you."

"Awesome! So when do you have the time?"

"Right now."

"... Huh?"

Shino walked over to the couch, plopping herself down. She patted her thick, bare thighs poking out from her skirt. "It's been a slow day anyhow. Unless you have urgent business, why don't we try practicing while we have the chance?"

Izuku walked over, nervously staring at Shino's thighs. "Uh, how exactly are we going to do this then?"

"How else? Just put your head in my lap. I can more easily focus my quirk that way, and you can see how you fare against its attacks."

Izuku was hesitant. "Are you sure? Wouldn't it work just as well if we're sitting across from each other?"

"Lap. Now." Her tone was so forceful it made Izuku flinch a little. He obeyed, and soon enough his curly green hair was pressed flat against her legs. While he had no idea how many people Shino had dated, he was quite confident he was one of a select few to enjoy being given a lap pillow from her.

And now that his cheek was pressed against her bare skin, he noticed how incredibly smooth it was...

"Enjoying yourself?"

Izuku flinched again. He'd heard that in his mind. "Sorry..."

Shino returned to speaking normally. "Well, it's very flattering of you. But can't you see why we're doing this? If you're more easily distracted, this will better improve your mental training. You can't get yourself tripped up, can you Mr. Number One?"

"I see." Izuku could also see the swell of her breasts beneath her uniform out of the corner of his eye. He kept his gaze focused on the wall, shutting out all worldly desires to the best of his ability. The warmth he felt from Shino's lap was eroding that determination little by little, however.

"My quirk is rather straightforward, but versatile," Shino explained. "I can only send my thoughts to others, but they normally reach their recipient so long as they're within range. The mind is both the most powerful and vulnerable aspect you have, after all. Wouldn't you agree?"

Izuku nodded, although with more and more of the sensation of her lap pillow filling his mind he realized that he may not have been in a state to disagree anyway.

"But I have tested this on other people, and they do manage to keep their mind somewhat guarded so long as they focus strongly enough. Just think about something that will occupy your mental processes. Enough to block out my messages, okay?"

Unbidden, the image of Ochaco and Eri surfaced itself in Izuku's mind's eye.

"Got something?"

"Yeah."

With that, they got started. Shino would send Izuku messages and he would do his best to focus on something else. After twenty or so failed attempts, Izuku tried to sit up but Shino pulled him back down into her lap again. He looked up at her in surprise at her boldness.

"Deku isn't going to give up that easily, right?" Shino smiled at him in encouragement. "Maybe you need to think of something else."

Izuku fished around inside his head again. If the thought of Ochaco and Eri weren't enough, then what could he focus on? His rivalry with Katsuki could be a good candidate, but he had a feeling that would exhaust him more than anything. There was also All Might, but... well, he'd tried avoiding thinking about him too much. Especially as it only brought his thoughts toward Shigaraki once more. That was the opposite of his goal here. So what else was there?

Then, in a single moment of clarity, it came to Izuku. In addition to Ochaco and Eri came the faces of his other girlfriends. He could picture all of their smiles clearly. Momo's dainty and refined giggles. Itsuka's endearingly bell-like laughter interchanged with her sudden snorts of disbelief. Kyoka, whose chuckling was so snarky but hearty. Rumi's sudden barks of mirth. And lately, he'd grown to enjoy Mina's mischievous snickering as well. They'd all come to occupy his mind like nothing else.

"Yeah."

"Good! Let's try again."

Izuku closed his eyes, focusing on each of his girlfriends and Eri in turn. He felt overjoyed merely thinking about them all. Eri jumping into his arms after school, the sneaky kisses the girls would give him, Ochaco's liability to attack him when he least expected it... it all came to him in a rush. However, it became broken after hearing a faint whisper saying "... hear me?"

Izuku blinked his eyes open, looking up at Shino.

"I was encountering a little resistance there," she said. "More than normal. Did it work?"

"Sort of, I think. I was focusing really hard, but I could still hear your voice. What was the full message you sent?"

"I said: Can you hear me?"

Izuku nodded, satisfied. "I didn't hear the first two words. I think it might be working."

"That's impressive, Midoriya. It normally takes way longer than that for somebody to block me out."

"Well, I've got no time to lose," Izuku said.

"Yeah..." Shino paused.

"What is it?"

"Oh, it's just that... well, when I was communicating with you I sensed something odd. Like there are a bunch of other people's minds residing inside yours. You wouldn't have some crazy split personality disorder you're not telling me about?" she teased.

"O-of course not," Izuku said nervously, remarking that she wasn't entirely incorrect. He supposed he should have expected her to sense the vestiges but even so, he was clinging onto the hope of not dealing with it. He decided to direct her away from the topic.

"Anyway, you wanna try again?" Izuku readjusted his head in her lap. The motion made Shino squirm a little.

"Oh, sorry!"

"No, no, it's alright. Your hair just tickled me." She ran a hand through it without thinking, yanking her hand away when she realized what she was doing. Izuku practically leaped out of her lap as he sat straight again, blushing furiously.

"I'm sorry!" she shouted.

"N-no, it was just an accident! Instinctive thing, I know these things happen! Hahaha..." They both breathed a sigh of relief as their racing hearts slowed down. Their heartbeats began picking up again upon hearing an annoyed "AHEM!" from the door. Turning towards it, their eyes practically bulged out of their sockets as they saw a particularly furious Pixie-Bob standing there, arms folded.

"So this is why you had to stay behind," she said sulkily. She glared at Shino. "Getting cozy."

"It's not what it looks like!" Shino exclaimed. "He needed help guarding his mind, so I—"

Pixie-bob gave a dark chuckle, brushing her blonde hair over her shoulder. "I see. A convenient cover story. I get it. You're just trying to scoop him up for yourself."

"Why would I do that! Hell, why would you ever do that!? He's already dating Uraraka."

Pixie-bob looked down her nose at Shino in contempt. "Trivial."

"That's about the opposite of trivial," Izuku interjected, but he was quickly interrupted as Pixie-bob stormed over to the couch and sat herself down right beside him. He barely had time to react as he was brought down into his second lap pillow of the day. His cheek met soft thighs once again.

"RYUKO!"

"You had your turn, so pipe down," Pixie-bob said smugly. She leaned down to whisper into Izuku's ear, forcefully pressing his head into her lap when he tried to sit up. "Feel free to stay there as long as you want."

"He clearly doesn't like it! Let him go!"

"I don't know why you're so worried about it."

"What do you mean!? You're holding him there against his will!"

As Izuku squirmed in Pixie-bob's lap, a shameless voice in the back of his head corrected Shino. If he really weren't willing, he'd have easily broken free immediately. But he felt it best to remain quiet as the women hashed it out.

"I mean that you're attempting to secure a piece of prime boyfriend material all for yourself. You act all dignified and serious, but I know you're just as into him as I am."

Shino flushed red and began stuttering. "Th-that's—I—you... you c-can't be serious! Just listen to yourself! And why the hell are we fighting like schoolgirls on some drama all over a guy?"

"So you admit that we're in a fight here over Deku?"

"No, that's not what I... GOD! You know what I mean! We're more dignified than this."

Pixie-bob nodded as she scratched Izuku's neck. "Normally, yes. However, there is no room for dignity in war."

"You're just one-sidedly deciding there's a love triangle going on here!"

Realizing he'd truly had enough, Izuku pulled himself away from both girls. He began backing away slowly. Pixie-bob had started advancing on him with the claws in her gloves out, her gaze frightening. He gave Shino a sidelong glance.

"Same time next week work for you?"

"Sure. Just text me if anything comes up and I'll do the same."

"Oh no you don't!" Pixie-bob shrieked as Izuku slipped out of the door. He sprinted for the exit and passed an amused looking Tiger on the way.

"Great job, kiddo!"

"Thanks!" Izuku shut the door behind him and breathed a sigh of relief. He began walking down the hallway when Tomoko appeared in front of him, making him jump.

"Deku? I'm sorry for startling you."

"Oh, it's not your fault, I just had a little run-in with Pixie-bob," Izuku said wearily. "You doing alright?"

"Excellent," Tomoko said bubbly. She was holding a stack of pink pastry boxes. She indicated them with her elbows with a wide smile. "Paw pad buns. They're our specialty, and I've really enjoyed experimenting with how I make them over the past several years. There are a dozen flavors in each box, all entirely different from the rest!"

"Here, why don't I help you..." Izuku said, but Tomoko shook her head.

"I think it might be safer for you to keep you away from Ryuko for the time being. I can manage. I'd consider myself a complete failure if I couldn't even handle this much."

Izuku sighed. "Yeah. I guess I know where you're coming from."

Tomoko's usually exuberant smile shrunk down to a more sympathetic one. She looked at Izuku kindly. "I know you do. Honestly, I try to keep on a brave face but... it really annoys me when people try to shower me with platitudes about how effective I am now that I work in the office full time, or that I'm still a pillar of moral support for our team. I know that better than anyone. What hurts is that I can't..."

Tomoko shook her head. "Sorry. I got heavy there."

"No, I understand," Izuku said. "The thing I hated most about when I was quirkless wasn't even the bullying or anything like that. It was that consistent mantra of you can't be a hero I'd always hear. Being denied what I wanted to do most. You know better than anyone you can't do it, but still..."

Tomoko understood completely. "Hearing it doesn't really do you any good."

"Right," Izuku agreed. "But anyway, I've really gotta get going. Kept Ocha and Eri waiting long enough."

"Oh, speaking of," said Tomoko, her tone bubbly again. She indicated the boxes again. "Take one home for the family."

"You sure?"

"We've got more than enough to spare," Tomoko said. "Forty buns to a box! I promise they're just as Purrlus Ultra delicious as the other times you've tried them! You have my guarantee! I know Eri really likes them."

Izuku graciously accepted a box. "Thanks. Well, it was great talking to you Ragdoll. I'll be coming here more often because Mandalay has to help me with something, so maybe we can talk more next time."

Tomoko's eyes widened. "Wait, you are!?"

"Hmm? Yeah. Is that not alright with you?"

Tomoko shook her head so fast it was a blur. "No, it absolutely is! I look forward to seeing you more, Deku!"

"Likewise. Catch you later."

"Byyyyye!"

As Izuku turned around, he didn't notice the skips Tomoko made as she headed toward their office door. She was humming happily, rocking from side to side as she tapped the door with her foot to be let in. Tiger opened it for her.

"Oh, you're in a good mood. You met Deku, didn't you?"

"Not telling," Tomoko said as she headed in.

Outside, Izuku's phone began buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw it was Mina. He tapped the confirm button. "Mina?"

"Heyyyyy, Mr. Stud! How are you doing? Was the meeting with Shigaraki okay?"

"It could've gone worse, I guess..."

"Yikes! Well, we can talk about that at another time. I just wanted you to know that I've landed you your next date."

It took a few seconds for Izuku to fully absorb that. "A... date? With who?"

"Drumroll please! Da da da da da da da da duuuuuuuum... Toru Hagakure!"

Having floated up to a rooftop to avoid overzealous fans, Izuku nearly dropped the pastry box he was holding "HAGAKURE!?" He immediately clamped down on his surprise, embarrassed by his outburst.

"Yeouch! That was loud... but yeah, Hagakure! I told her all about our situation and she seemed really into it! You're going to be with her for your birthday party that's in a few days. We'll use that as a cover."

"H-hang on! You can't just decide stuff like that on your own, Mina! We're a team on this."

"I know that, but man, you should've seen her! She was real depressed. She's a nightmare when she's drunk, so no guy has ever stuck with her for long, and I thought—"

"Your solution was to sic her on me?" Izuku sighed. "Mina, I don't know. I like Hagakure and all, but... You just came along recently, and there's all this other stuff..."

"I mean, you won't know until you try it, right? You've bagged four of the girls in your high school class already, why not make it to number five?"

"That's one way to put it, I guess," Izuku said drily. "I'm glad you're enjoying this. Have you told Ochaco or anybody else yet?"

"Nope! Just you."

Izuku sighed. "Oh man, she was already gonna be angry about the Toga thing, and now this..."

"Toga thing?"

Izuku explained the arrangement he'd made with Himiko, to which Mina began snickering.

"Daaaaaang! Way to go, stud! You just got dates set up with two different people in the same day!"

"You don't think it's weird?"

"I mean, is there any part of this whole harem thing that's even remotely normal? But on a serious note... I'm concerned. And I don't believe I'm capable of forgiving her, or that I even should be. Yet all the same, I trust you Izuku, so just be careful. Okay?"

Izuku nodded. "Right. Thanks for being honest. Well, it looks like we've both got to face the music tonight. You ready?"

"Oh, I'm ready! Ochaco's pretty laid back. I'm sure she'll understand both of us buuuuut she'll probably give you a little bit more grief.

That night, Izuku found himself lying flat on his back looking up at Ochaco, who was sitting between his legs. They were in the temporary bedroom once again. Both were naked, with Ochaco's foot pressed up against his scrotum. The feeling was both frightening and arousing.

"So. You're dating Toga."

"I mean..." Izuku began, but he grunted as the sole of Ochaco's foot pressed down on his balls.

"Yes or no?"

"Yes, yes! But it's not real dating! It's inside Tartarus for crying out loud! It was the only way to get her to cooperate!"

Another press against his scrotum. "Are you sure?"

"YES, YES, I SWEAR!"

"Absolutely, terribly sure?"

"On my life!"

"Good." Ochaco said, her foot crawling up from his balls to stroke at his erection instead. "Well, all the same. I trust you, Izuku. Things are tricky, and if this is what it takes to get Toga to help us then so be it. Which is more than I can say for this traitor..."

She jerked her head toward Mina, who was also nude with her wrists bound behind her back and a gag in her mouth. Her ankles had been bound as well. She looked to be on the verge of tears. Two of Momo's vibrators had been taped to her pussy, and she was grunting in both pleasure and discomfort. She was breathing raggedly through her nose.

"She said she was sorry," Izuku pointed out. "I think this might be a little much..."

Ochaco eyed Mina with a frown. "I admit, it makes me a little uncomfortable. However, Kyoka and Usagiyama thought this would be the best way of making her atone. And..."

Her eyes darted to Mina's exposed butt; large, round and pink, and it topped her incredible thighs marvellously. At this, she gave an involuntary nudge to Izuku's dick, making him grunt. Ochaco jumped.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Do you want me to stop?"

"No, no, it's fine. Been a while since we've done this, is all... I forgot how hot it was."

Mina eyed them in her compromised state, begging for one of them to remove her restraints. She began wriggling around in frustration.

"Maybe we should—"

"At least a little while longer," Ochaco said, proceeding to massage Izuku's cock with her foot in full force. He sat down on the bed, breathing heavily. His moaning would spike every time she'd roll her foot extra hard or turn it in one direction.

"Everybody got things done today without you," Ochaco moaned along with him, expertly rubbing her foot against him. "But I noticed the way the girls were looking with you gone. They missed you so much, and you couldn't be there for them! Especially dear old Mina here. Maybe she got Toru involved because she was so desperate for more crazy action with you."

Mina grunted at this, shaking in her restraints. This caused her to inadvertently wiggle her butt, making Izuku grow further aroused.

Ochaco continued. "Does that get you going? Knowing that so many women want to be yours? You're living the dream, right? Give me an answer."

Izuku continued gasping, nodding to Ochaco's question. She chuckled, feeling her arousal pool between her own legs.

"But you know what, Izuku? They haven't had enough time to appreciate you like I have, right?" Izuku grunted as she pressed his cock flat against his pelvis, rolling it ever so carefully with her foot.

"I can tell! Because right now, they're just at the stage of really wanting you. They're not needing you like I am. You know why, Deku? Because I need you every day."

Ochaco's footsie had begun growing more intense, stroking up and down his length much faster. "I need you so much it's like I can barely breathe without you! I want to jump you even in front of everybody, kiss you all over, make every part of you mine! You get it, Deku! I need you more than anybody else!"

"Yes!" Izuku grunted.

"It's a fire in me that never goes out," Ochaco panted, working her foot against his dick. "I need to feel your cock against me just to feel sane! Right, right!?"

They were both moaning. Ochaco had taken to fingering herself as she rubbed her foot against him, their high coming close.

"So do you need me, Deku!? How much do you need to feel me!?"

"All of you! All the time!"

"You mean it!"

"Yes!"

"Oh God, yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

Ochaco felt Izuku's penis give that telltale twitch before spasming, his load emptying out onto the bottom of his stomach. Ochaco followed quickly after, her masturbation taking her high, trying to keep her squealing down so as not to awaken Eri up above. She hissed in breaths between her teeth all while Mina stared transfixed, unconsciously humping the bed in her arousal.

As Ochaco sucked in as much air as she could, Izuku crawled over and settled himself over her once he had cleaned off his semen. Once she had recovered, he grasped her by the chin and lowered his head for a kiss. Soon enough, he brought her hips up towards his and entered her, their regular ritual of sex ensuing.

Mina watched from the side of the bed as the two began having intercourse. She was amazed by the amount of positions they could run through, from standard missionary to sideways dipping, rough doggy style to a carry fuck, and even a strange corkscrew cowgirl she'd never seen before.

Despite the constant, torturous stimulation to her pussy, she found herself growing hungrier and hungrier to have Izuku's cock plunge itself inside of her. Maybe Ochaco "needed it" the most at the moment, but she figured she was bordering on need herself. She had indeed been fantasizing about her next time with Izuku that morning and having him so close but denied to her still was driving her insane.

As Izuku exited Ochaco for the seventh time, Mina found herself amazed at their stamina despite her precarious situation, and her heart began beating harder than ever as they began crawling over to her. Izuku mercifully yanked off the vibrators which stung for a moment, and he proceeded to undo the rest of her restraints. Soon she was lying down rubbing her wrists and ankles to get blood flowing through them again.

"Oh, thank God," she said in exhaustion. "So is that enough punishment?"

"Well..." Ochaco drew close and squeezed her right breast, pinching the nipple as she drew the hand away. "I think I might have to teach you more of a lesson myself sometime later..."

Mina shuddered at her words as she stared into her eyes. The hungry look in them told her quite clearly that she wasn't kidding. Ochaco then proceeded to slink around and hold Mina up by her stomach, rubbing her cheek against her back.

"That must've been very tough. Are you sure you were okay with us doing that to you?"

Mina sighed in relief. "I did deserve it, in all honesty."

"Good to know... How many times do you think you'll be able to do it with Izuku?"

"Only once tonight, in all honesty."

"Good. You heard her, Deku! Go right ahead."

Izuku brought himself over again, his throbbing member pointed directly at her pussy. Mina began panting in anticipation, moaning with delight as he began penetrating her. She wrapped herself around him as he pushed deeper until he was all the way in. He began rocking, to which she responded in kind.

After all her previous orgasming, Mina was being run ragged. Yet all the same, that seemed to allow her to better appreciate how Izuku filled her. She was in a suspended state of arousal, each of Izuku's thrusts punting her higher and higher. She pressed her large breasts into him as hard as she could, wanting to wrap her curvaceous body around his own as much as possible.

Gratefully accepting his kisses, Mina let Izuku power his way through their intercourse. His complete domination of her was enthralling, every thrust harder and more pleasurable than the last. The feeling of his flesh constantly pressing into her made her make out with him harder, enjoying the rigid muscles on his back.

Izuku, for his part, was thoroughly enjoying every aspect of Mina's muscular body. Her plush, tight ass which he would gratefully palm, the fluffy feeling of her hair, her magnificent breasts and of course, her thighs tightly wrapping around his waist.

He let her divine body fill each of his senses, and with the knowledge that she was yet another incredibly strong, beautiful woman he could call his, he thrust hard one more time and ejaculated. Gasping with pleasure, Mina quickly followed after him and they climaxed together.

Pulling out, Izuku fell back against the bed with Ochaco crawling up next to him. Mina did the same a few minutes later, fully recovered.

"With just three people, the mess isn't that bad," Ochaco commented, lovingly rubbing her cheek against Izuku's after pulling on his spare Air Force gloves off the side table. Seeing this, Mina did the same against Izuku's other one.

"Any mess is worth it for every single one of you," Izuku said. Ochaco and Mina both planted a kiss to his cheek, settling themselves in against his side.

"Still. Hagakure, huh?"

"It could work," Mina said.

"Of course you'd say that. It was your idea," Ochaco said. "But... well, we'll see. I just need some rest after today."

"Same. Good night, girls."

They wished him good night back, and soon the three were asleep, another tumultuous day behind them."
