"Uwaaaaaah! Another scorcher." Mina stretched in her halter top and booty shorts. The girls were dressed similarly in front of their fans, basking in their merciful cool air every time they swiveled toward them.

"When is Hatsume gonna be done?" Toru whined. She was the lone exception, going topless. Another benefit of being invisible.

"You guys practically begged her to fix the AC as soon as she moved in." Ochaco came through the door, floating a bunch of metal behind her pulled by rope. "We've barely finished getting all her stuff in. This is the last of the bunch. The guy who came to check on it recommended buying ourselves a whole new system. Better count yourselves lucky we know a mechanical genius like her."

"You seem awfully lenient on her," Kyoka snarked. "I thought you'd be the most resistant to her joining in out of all of us."

Ochaco shrugged. "I mean, things change."

"That they do." Izuku came in through the door next, wiping at his brow and giving Ochaco a quick peck on the cheek. "Finished with all her extra stuff. Even with negating their gravity, that is a lot to carry."

He was washing his hands when he noticed a pointed silence had settled over the girls. Ochaco cleared her throat. "Uh, Deku, sweetie?"

Blinking, Izuku realized what they were all expecting of him. "Oh. Oh!"

A minute later and every girl's cheek had been pecked. The mood was considerably happier.

"I feel more special already." Rumi leaned against the counter with her eyes closed with a satisfied smile on her face. Ochaco remembered their conversation from a couple nights ago… well, that and her sore hips.

"You okay?"

Ochaco waved Izuku off. "Yeah, yeah…"

Thudding footsteps came from the stairs as Eri bounced her way down. "Wahhhhhh! It's so hot! When is the pink-haired lady going to be dooooone?"

"Should just be another twenty minutes, sweetie. She's doing her best, so you can tough it out in the meantime."

"I'm so sweaty though…"

Izuku brought Eri to one of the fans. He turned it on to its max setting and watched as she soaked in the cold air generated from it. The artificial gale was so strong that Eri was able to lean forward and press herself against the chilling wind. Arms outstretched, she basked in the cold.

"Wowwwwww…"

"Being a kid is so simple," Kyoka muttered.

"Yeah. Chasing down bad guys after school, protecting the innocent, making sure weak-ass punks knew their place…"

"I think your childhood was a different kind of simple, Rumi. You were a delinquent, weren't you?"

"I mean, it's not like I keep it a secret…"

Their chattering went on for a few more minutes until they heard footsteps coming up from the basement.

"That's your AC unit all fixed, upgraded and raring to go! I've already turned it on, so you don't need the fans anymore."

"Alright. Thank you, Hatsumeeeeee whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Izuku was about to give Mei his gratitude, but was cut off once she came up the stairs. Mei had ditched her usual black tank top and trousers, leaving her in only her cheap but revealing lingerie. Her clothes were folded over her arms and her jiggling breasts were exposed for everybody to see.

"What? Everybody else is showing close to the same amount of skin. Hagakure's got her tits hanging out too."

Izuku had placed his hands over Eri's eyes as he began hissing at Mei in a panic. "They're still wearing actual clothes! And Hagakure is invisible, it doesn't count!"

"Don't you dare scar our innocent little Eri!"

"Jeez, this is the applause I get for a day of hard work…"

Ochaco stepped forward, taking her shot at talking sense into her. "We very much appreciate what you did Hatsume, but please, if you would put your clothes on—WAHHHH!"

Ochaco was cut off as Mei shamelessly dug her hand into her clothed breast. The others had their jaws hanging open, staring incredulously at how brazen their new resident was being.

"What's the big fuss? Honestly, yours are even nicer than mine now…"

Mei placed a hand beneath each of Ochaco's boobs and lifted them up, testing their weight. "Big, fat and heavy… I'd be jealous, but this size is too much for me to handle. If you didn't stay in top shape all the time, these things would cause you serious back issues. They probably hurt a lot already."

Handing off Eri to Rumi before she could sneak a peek and have her innocence ruined, Izuku chopped away Mei's hands and carried Ochaco to safety.

"Hatsume, please go change," he said tiredly.

"But it's still so hot—"

"I don't want to hear that after you just engaged in sexual harassment!"

"I mean, she didn't mind. She likes girls too, right?"

"WHAT!? There is so much wrong with that. That couldn't be further from the point!"

Ochaco, meanwhile, was blushing furiously red as she hid her face into Izuku's chest. She was just as equally embarrassed, but also kept thinking about how surprisingly tender Mei's touch was…

Despite that initial mishap, Mei settled in quite quickly. She seemed more than content with constructing little gizmos and gadgets for Eri to play with. They'd have to teach her a few manners first, but it seemed like she'd fit right in.

Life went on. Even with a new permanent resident in the Midoriya house, there was no slack to their hero work. Izuku fanned himself in the summer heat, out on patrol by himself. Ochaco was off at the other end of the city with some of the girls for a change. The perfect time for more mental training.

Landing in front of the Pussycats office, he strode in and nearly bumped into somebody in the foyer. He dodged out of the way cleanly using Danger Sense.

"Oh, sorry about that… Wait, Ragdoll?"

Tomoko pulled her hair behind her ear as she gave him a bashful smile, blushing. "Hey, Deku. Here to see Mandalay?"

"Yeah, I was hoping to get more mental training in…"

"Her and the others are out on patrol. You can wait here for them to get back."

"Ah."

"Yeah… Hey, do you want some tea?"

A few minutes later, Izuku found himself seated inside the Pussycats' cozy little office again, tea and cat-ear shaped biscuits on a flowery plate in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Tomoko tilted her head nervously. "I didn't screw anything up, right?"

"No, this just isn't something I do normally." Truth be told, there was something about the Pussycats that sparked his old timidness around the opposite sex. Between Shino's insistence on giving him lap pillows and Pixie-bob's thirst to get her paws on him, he'd come to realize something even the most oblivious man in the world would have to realize; he was a hot commodity among 30 something year old women. Awkward.

At least Tomoko seemed normal around him.

"Well, make yourself right at home. We've got time."

"Sure."

They drank their tea in silence. Izuku took a cursory bite of a biscuit. Just as tasty as ever. He ate the rest happily.

"How's work been for you lately?"

"Can't say office work is the most thrilling thing in the world but, you know. Somebody's gotta do it anyway."

"Yeah, I have to keep pestering Ochaco into doing her reports. Like I'm telling my kid to get their homework done on time."

"Oh, is that something you've talked about? Having kids?"

"Huh?" Something in Izuku's brain cracked. While the topic had come up with the girls, hearing somebody outside of the arrangement mention that was what sent a jolt up his spine.

"Well, it's not like they'd all want my kid necessarily. I mean, of course not… that's just… even one kid per girl is eight freaking kids!"

"Deku…?" Tomoko grew concerned.

Suppressing the shudders running down his spine, Izuku took a deep breath. "It's fine, it's fine. I just felt my life flash before my eyes there…"

Tomoko giggled, hand against her lips. The mischievous gesture was very catlike. "Not ready to be a dad, huh?"

Izuku paused, mouth opening and closing as he tried to find the right words. "Not ready for the number I think I'm in for…"

Tomoko blushed. "Whoooooa… you two are planning to make a whole litter!"

"I… hahhhh, you know what, can we just move on? This is getting to be too much for me."

Tomoko chuckled again. "Sure thing, Deku."

"Well, that aside, I was hoping you'd be willing to come over in the next few days. Eri really liked having you over so me and Ochaco were thinking we could have you for dinner."

"Oh, I'd love to! It just so happens I'm in a lull at work. Been meaning to get away from it all. Same old, same old you know."

"Well, better than having too much to do."

Ragdoll giggled. "True. I'd… very much like not to go back to those days."

"We won't," Izuku said firmly. Putting his mug down, he pondered how to phrase his next question.

"Do you… miss it? Hero work, I mean."

"I think what I'm doing right now would qualify!"

"You don't have to put on an act. I mean… do you miss actually being a hero?"

Ragdoll's cheeky grin shrunk down into a reminiscent, pained smile. "There's nothing I can do about it. Without a quirk, without power, you're done for. I'm just thankful I get work with the girls despite being quirkless. But it's like we talked about before, remember?"

Izuku tried searching back in his memory. "You mean about being reminded you can't be a hero despite knowing it better than anybody, deep inside…"

"Yeah. Where do you think you'd be if you hadn't gotten One for All?"

Izuku tried envisioning it. "I think… it wouldn't have gone over as well as I'd hoped. Maybe All Might would've found somebody else to do the job, but that would've just been somebody else putting their life on the line. And being a cop probably isn't my style. I don't really think about anybody else getting this power. I started out quirkless, and I was given the good fortune to use my powers as a hero."

"Maybe it's less about what you have or don't have… and what you should be given the freedom to do. While also acknowledging that, sometimes, things are out of your reach. We tell ourselves hard work will get us anywhere, but that's not really true."

Izuku shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm waxing philosophical here."

"No, no, I like hearing that from you. It's… realistic. And very mature. Just one more thing I like about ya."

"Heh. Thanks."

"But you know…" Tomoko switched seats. She was right beside Izuku now. "I know you've been feeling stressed with everything that's going on. The others told me about Shigaraki. And I admit, I've gotten a little jealous Shino's been getting to do this…"

"Jealous? What are you saying?"

Despite blushing brightly, Tomoko patted her skirt. "Go on. Place that cute, fluffy green head of yours right here."

"Uh, wait, you sure?"

"You already let Shino do it even if it's for training. Come on, for me?"

"Why do you even want…" Izuku sighed. Realizing Tomoko would get her way anyhow, he rested his head on her lap. She began stroking his hair immediately.

"Good boy… you're just an adorable little kitten, aren't you?"

As opposed to Shino's reserved personality and Pixie-bob's aggressive approach, Tomoko was a happy middle. She was very easy to be around.

"You seem to be enjoying this…"

"Not everyday you get the world's greatest hero in your lap."

"You're telling me."

As Tomoko giggled, Izuku couldn't help but let himself be taken in by the warmth of her thighs through the fabric. It was actually quite relaxing… he couldn't help but begin growing drowsy as Tomoko stroked his hair.

BANG!

The door slammed open. Izuku bolted upright, and there in the doorframe, bringing with her a sickening sense of déjà vu, was Pixie-bob. She was fuming.

"Just what are you doing, Shiretoko?"

"Yikes, not the surname! Look, Deku was just feeling a little down and I was pepping him up."

"Haven't we done this bit before," Izuku said wearily.

"Well… yes, but I won't rest until I give you a lap pillow as well!"

Pixie-bob lunged for Izuku, but Izuku easily sidestepped her as she dove face first into the couch.

"Yeesh, shouldn't you be on patrol still…?"

Izuku looked at his watch. His eyes grew comically wide as he saw an entire hour had passed.

"How did that happen!?"

"Time flies when you're having fun." Tomoko held her wrist up to her forehead, curling her hand to look like a cat's paw complete with cutely sticking out her tongue.

"You're way too old to pull off that look, hussy," Pixie-bob muttered.

"Rude! And we're the same age, Ryuko…"

"Shut up!"

"What is going on in here—" Next, Shino came through the door. She placed her paw covered hand to her chest. "Oh, goodness. Midoriya. I wasn't expecting you today."

"Yeah, I was hoping to get some time in with mental training, but maybe we'll have to do that another day."

"Feel free to come anytime."

"You heading out Deku?" Tomoko walked over to place a sly hand on his shoulder, whispering up into his ear. Izuku started growing a little red himself. "I'll be sure to take you up on your offer for dinner. I can't wait to see cute little Eri again!"

"HUH!?" Pixie-bob had overheard. So had Shino, but she kept quiet. "You asked her out on a date."

"Well, no, no, the thing is—"

But Pixie-bob wouldn't let him get a word in edgewise. She stomped forward and grabbed Deku by the front of his costume, eyes tearing up in fury. "After all this time… all it took was a single hour of alone time with Tomoko and you instantly fall for her feminine wiles!? What about me isn't good enough!"

"That's not what this is! Besides, I've got a girlfriend!"

It was no use. Pixie-bob had begun shaking him back and forth, with Tomoko on his other side trying to keep him in place. Shino, nervous, decided to step in.

"Now, now, ladies, let the poor boy go…"

"No! I demand an answer!"

"Ryuko, you've got to let this go. You've been doing this for ten years now!"

"NO! I won't give up!"

"H-hey!"

As Shino got herself into the mix, she tripped over Pixie-bob's ankle. She ended up tumbling into the other three, and they all ended up in a mess on the ground. Izuku found himself in a mess of tangled limbs with all three of the Pussy cats on top of him. Tomoko landed chin first and bright red into his chest, Shino and Pixie-bob pinning down his arms.

Pixie-bob began beating her fist at Izuku's side. "Get off him, Tomoko!"

"Why are you hitting me instead of her then!?"

Tomoko, despite flushing red, blinked in surprise. "Oh, you're into S&M? Didn't expect that, Deku…"

"How is that the conclusion you reached!? Stop being so gullible!"

"I am so sorry Midoriya, please just give us a moment…"

As the ladies screamed and squirmed atop Izuku, Tiger watched through the door in the other room. He scratched his forehead awkwardly.

"Just bear with it, kid… you're the only one they get like this with."

A few nights after, Tomoko dropped by the Midoriya house for dinner. The other girls had all booked late nights, so she was none the wiser to their true living situation. It was just her, Izuku, Ochaco, and Eri. They were just wrapping up dinner and washing the dishes.

"You guys are really good cooks," Tomoko complimented them as she kicked Eri up and down on her thigh to play horse, tenderly holding her hands. Eri was giggling happily.

"Well, we've had time to brush up on making good food," Ochaco said. "Especially with Deku helping me get out of my habit of using the cheapest ingredients."

"Not that price is necessarily an indication of quality," Izuku pointed out.

"True," Ochaco said.

Once they'd finished washing the dishes, they all sat down to have a chat. The hours whiled away, they let Eri play a few rounds of Smash Bros. with them and before they knew it, it was already ten o'clock.

Izuku was busy getting Eri ready for bed while Ochaco was left with Tomoko, who would be leaving as soon as he came back.

"Thank you for coming over, Shiretoko. Eri really likes you."

"No, no, it's fine. And please, call me Tomoko. You can consider me a friend of your budding family."

"Mhm," Ochaco said. She remained silent as Tomoko slipped into her shoes.

"What?"

"I've just been wondering…" Ochaco looked at the stairs. Izuku hadn't finished putting Eri to sleep.

"It's okay, Ochaco. You can say what's on your mind."

"Well… this is kind of awkward, but I've started noticing how you act around Deku. And it's kind of nerve wracking."

Stiff pause.

"Oh. Well, I uh… it's not like I feel anything particular toward him. He's nice, and handsome, and very… powerful."

Tomoko was scrambling for an explanation. After another minute of blubbering, she sighed and averted eye contact. "I'm sorry. I should've known you'd notice sooner or later…"

"I have a question for you. Do you really like him?"

"Oh, come on, it's not fair to you that I even feel this way. Don't worry about this crush of mine, I'm a big girl. I'll get over it."

"I don't really mind, actually. Seeing how you are with Eri has gotten me to really trust you."

"Oh… thanks. But I still shouldn't be burdening you with it."

"It's not a burden. You can just continue on as normal. It's gotta be painful not getting any real attention from Deku, so you know what… I'm going to talk to him about this. See what can be done."

"Huh? What are you talking—"

At that moment, Izuku came down the stairs. "Alrighty then, that's our little angel tucked in nice and tight… Hm? Did something happen here?"

Noticing the heavier atmosphere, Izuku grew curious. Ochaco waved him off. "It's nothing dear, don't worry."

Seeing Tomoko off, they said goodbye to her and watched as she pulled her car out from the driveway and drove off.

"She looked a little uncomfortable there. What did you guys actually talk about?"

"I was just talking to her about a few things. Mainly you."

"Huh?"

Ochaco clapped her hands together. "I'm thinking we add her into the harem."

Izuku blinked. "Another one? So soon? I don't know, Ocha."

"Well, it's pretty clear she's head over heels for you. You didn't notice."

"It's not that I didn't notice, it's just…"

"Just what?"

Izuku sighed. "I don't know. We've got Rumi who's older and all, but Tomoko's even older than that. And she's sort of innocent. I don't want to think how Pixie-bob's going to react to this either, if she ever found out she joined in before her…"

"That's true," Ochaco acknowledged. "But she's awesome with Eri. And, if I'm being real, hearing her talk about the hell of filing reports all day as a single woman really got to me. I think about what would happen if you couldn't keep me sane through all the paperwork and my knees start shaking…"

"That wouldn't be a problem if you just did them properly!" Izuku pointed out incredulously. "But… well, I'm not sure. I'll think about it. But we'd be approaching double digits here since I'm sure other girls are gonna get roped in somehow."

Ochaco giggled. "Finally growing confident in your masculine charm?"

"More like your duplicity. But… yes to that as well."

"Then it's a—"

"Maybe. It's a maybe."

"I'll take that for now," Ochaco said coyly. She got in close, her smile curling up seductively. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her curvy body close. "This is one of the rare nights without the others. And Eri's asleep. Let's unwind all by ourselves."

"Now that I'm certainly a fan of," Izuku whispered.

Softly capturing Ochaco's lips, Izuku held his first girlfriend close as they slowly danced into a night of private, intense passion. Although despite that, Izuku was surprised to find Tomoko was sticking around in the back of his head. She'd felt very nice when she fell on top of him the other day…

Hey all. Million here. Another month, another chapter. Not updating as fast as I was hoping, but still updating all the same. Low key chapter this time. Something to get us into the meat of Tomoko stuff for the next few. Plan to be a little zippier with adding the girls and then have break chapters in between where they have their individual periods of character development following up when the arcs in which they joined. Gonna be fun.

Spring is here. I hope you're all enjoying the warmer weather. Right now, I'm mostly pushing through school and enjoying the twists and turns of the My Hero Academia manga. People are whispering about it ending soon, but I'm not sure I really believe it. In fact, I think we're still a few years away from it being done. Will be excited about wherever this series will go either way.

Harem order: Ochaco, Momo, Itsuka, Kyoka, Rumi (Mirko), Mina, Toru, Mei, Tomoko, Tsuyu, Nejire, Nemuri (Midnight), Ibara, Ryuko (Pixie-bob), Kaoruko (Bubble Girl), Melissa, Yui, Camie, Shino (Mandalay), Setsuna, Moe (Burnin'), Ryuko (Ryukyuu), Pony, Yuyu, Reiko, Kinoko, Himiko.
