Boku no Hero Academia: Izuku's Pet Noumu

Disclaimer: This is a mature-rated fanfiction story of Boku no Hero Academia that I am writing for both fluffy and erotic fun. Needless to say, this story is AU, the characters may seem OOC to some and there will be smutty lemons. Also, I own nothing of the series other than the fanfiction stories that I make.

Chapter 1: Reunion

Shigaraki Tomura, a slim man with deathly pale skin, chapped lips, a small mole under the the right side of his lower lip, wrinkles around his red eyes and messy greyish-blue hair, was scratching his neck with one hand in agitation. His plan to kill All Might or at least some of the students of Class A1 had completely failed so far and he was forced to use his final "game unit", an uncontrollable female noumu known as Hellhound. Although there was no doubt that Hellhound was easily as dangerous as the other noumu which had been created specifically to kill All Might, she was uncontrollable and would attack everyone around her as soon as she was released from her restraints. Not even his master, All For One, could control her so Tomura was quite certain that he had no chance in hell in controlling her. Still, with All Might as weakened as he was after fighting the other noumu, there was no way he could stop her from slaughtering whoever was in her sights. Who knows, she might even kill every student and teacher in the school once she was released.

"You're really overpowered, you know that, All Might?" said Tomura who them smirked cruelly as he added, "Thankfully, we managed to prepare TWO epic units to take you down!"

Not expecting Tomura's response, a certain blond man with blue eyes and a tall muscular build named All Might became tense and asked, "Oh, so why didn't you release both of them at once?" Mentally, he swore, "Shit, my time is almost up! I won't be able to do anything if he really unleashes another noumu of that level!"

Izuku, who had been watching All Might fight the previous noumu which was a huge muscular brute with a bird-like beak that had teeth and an exposed brain, felt a cold chill run down his spine as he realised that Tomura had one more noumu and All Might would soon be powerless to stop it. Standing behind him were three other students, one of whom was Bakugou Katsuki.

Tomura shrugged and admitted, "I would have if I could but that noumu is an uncontrollable bitch, literally. So, instead of having her as my main fighter like that other noumu, she's more of a destructive monster to leave behind while I escape if you get what I mean."

"So, you're going to throw that monster at me and make your escape villain?" asked All Might.

Tomura's cruel smirk widened as he glanced at Izuku, whose left middle finger was broken due to using his quirk at 100% to defeat a group of aquatic villains at the flood zone, before turning his attention back to All Might to say, "And risk having her fail in killing you without killing anyone else first? I think not!" Before All Might could respond, Tomura pointed at Izuku and yelled, "Kurogiri, get us out of here and drop her next to that brat!"

Kurogiri, a seemingly formless black mist with glowing yellow eyes and dressed in an elegant suit politely bowed and said, "As you command, Shigaraki."

As commanded, Kurogiri used his quirk to form warp gates which took Tomura and himself away from combat while dropping what looked like an iron maiden right in front of Izuku. Too worried for Izuku to care about his own weakening state, All Might turned around while yelling, "Midoriya-shounen!"

As Tomura made his exit, he leered at All Might who was running into some smoke and said, "Good luck in stopping her and keeping everyone safe, All Might!"

Just as Tomura made his exit, the containment cell suddenly opened and released a large cloud of steam. Izuku leapt away from the steam with 7% of his quirk activated and could barely make out a pair of glowing red eyes glaring at him before something leapt out of the cell. He was about to defend himself from his attacker when he took a look at an unmistakably feminine face which was snarling at him. In spite of the dark skin, dog-like ears, black sclera and crimson flames that literally burned around her eyes, Izuku could recognise that the angry glare from anywhere. Just as the female noumu was about to take his head off with her elongated claws which were covered in crimson flames, Izuku uttered a name which sealed his fate, "Wan-chan…?"

The snarling visage turned into a confused expression as the noumu, which was clearly a girl with dark skin, a naked curvaceous body, lean defined muscles and dog-like features, stopped her attack mid-way. Her elongated claws shrunk to their original size and the crimson flames on both her claws and around her eyes died out. When they both landed onto the ground, they stared at one another with growing recognition on their faces. Tears welled up in the noumu's eyes as she uttered a nickname which Izuku still fondly remembered from his early childhood, "Izu…-chan…?"

Izuku's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke to the noumu, "Wan-chan, is it really you?"

Suddenly, the noumu had a pained expression on her face as she held her head and yelled, "It… it hurts! Stop!"

"Wan-chan!" yelled Izuku as he ran towards her without thinking. He was about to reach her when crimson flames suddenly enveloped her body and erupted from her mouth as she continued to yell. Forced to step back, Izuku's eyes widened as he realised that she was starting to burn herself. Desperate to save the noumu, Izuku turned his attention to one of the three boys who had witnessed All Might's fight against the previous noumu with him, Todoroki Shouto, and yelled, "Use your ice to stop her from burning herself, please!"

Shouto, a boy whose long hair which did not grow past his neck and was evenly split between two colours, white on the right side and crimson-red on the left side, hesitated for a moment before he decided to do as Izuku as pleaded. While Shouto, who had a burn scar around his left eye, did not know what was actually going on, he knew that the girl had somehow recognised Izuku and was suffering a mental breakdown as a result. His heterochromatic eyes, turquoise on the left and dark-grey on the right, narrowed as he created ice to immobilise the girl. However, her hot crimson flames melted the ice before it could freeze her or even cool her down. Although Shouto had two quirks, he knew that his fire quirk was basically useless even if he did not despise it due to personal reasons. Unable to stop the girl from burning herself, Shouto yelled at Izuku, "It's no good! My ice can't even get close to her!"

Seeing the girl's skin burn itself, Izuku came up with a suicidally crazy idea which would no doubt get him into trouble with the teachers and staff of U.A. High School, especially a certain short and elderly nurse named Shuuzenji Chiyo. He yelled at Shouto, "Cover with me with ice! I'll try to jump through her flames to get to her and make her calm down!"

"Are you insane!? You'll get yourself burnt!" yelled Shouto.

Izuku pointed at the noumu who was burning herself and yelled back, "That's my childhood friend in here, damn it! I'm saving her whether you'll help me or not!"

Realising that Izuku was determined to save the noumu, Shouto bit back a curse and used his ice to cover Izuku's body. He could only hope that the ice and Izuku's enhanced speed would be enough for Izuku to stop the noumu from burning herself to death.

Covered in icy armour, Izuku broke free from the excess ice and called fourth 20% of One For All. He could have used a greater percentage of his quirk but he did not want to risk harming her or put himself out of commission after failing his first try. His eyes burned with determination as he leapt towards the noumu, tacking her while yelling, "Wan-chan! Please calm down! You're hurting yourself!" He did not care that the crimson flames melted the ice and started to burn his skin as he prayed that his words had somehow reached her.

After a painful moment which seemed to stretch for eternity, Izuku opened his eyes and realised that the noumu had stopped burning herself. He was willing to bet that she stopped using her flames to avoid hurting him as well. He also noted how her burnt flesh and skin started to heal at an accelerated rate as she stared at him with wide eyes. Suddenly, she pushed him away and cried, "Stay away! Please!"

Undeterred, Izuku got up and spoke to her, "No, I won't. You of all people should know that I want to be a hero to helps others. How can I call myself a true hero if I can't even protect the one person who cared about me even though I was quirkless so many years ago?"

The noumu started to sniffle as she hugged herself and softly whimpered, "I'm bad. Will hurt you."

"No, you're not. You're one of the strongest and kindest people I have ever known," argued Izuke who then hugged had and tenderly petted her fluffy hair and furry ears as he continued to speak to her, "Please, let me help you. I'm here."

Unable to hold back her emotions, the noumu, whose real name was Wankuro, wailed as she wept in Izuku's warm arms. Izuku did not care about his burns or the pain of torn muscles and cracked bones in his legs as he comfortingly held her in his arms.

Watching from the sidelines, All Might, whose real name was Yagi Toshinori, smiled in relief that Izuku was safe. He was so relieved that he had forgotten that he had reverted back to his original skeletal form. Thankfully for Toshinori, Izuku's three classmates, Katsuki, Shouto and a boy with spiky red hair, red eyes, small eyebrows, sharp teeth and an impressive muscular physique named Kirishima Eijirou, were too focused on Izuku's interactions with the Wankuro to really pay attention to a skeletal blond man who was partly hidden in a cloud of smoke.

"Holy crap, Midoriya actually managed to make her stop!" exclaimed Eijirou who mentally added, "That's so damn manly!"

Katsuki on the other hand was stunned as he thought, "Those villains said that they made that bird-faced freak to kill All Might. If that bitch really is Bitch Face from back then, does that mean that Deku got his quirk from the League of Villains too?" He shook his head as he refused to accept the idea and thought, "No way, that fucker is a lot of things but he's too fucking obsessed with being a hero to even think about becoming a villain." When Katsuki confronted Izuku about his quirk on their first day at U.A. High School, shortly after Izuku showed his quirk during the quirk assessment test to be precise, Izuku simply told him that his quirk manifested very late. Although Katsuki knew that Izuku was lying, he had not gotten any closer to finding out the actual truth. Katsuki's frown deepened as he mentally wondered, "Still, if Deku didn't manifest his quirk late or got his quirk from the League of Villains, who the fuck else would be stupid enough to even think about giving that quirkless freak a quirk?" It was ironic that the "stupid person" in question was none other than All Might himself.

Speaking of All Might, Toshinori smiled proudly as he gazed upon Izuku comforting his long lost childhood friend and said, "Well done, Midoriya-shounen."

A moment later, the rest of the heroes arrived to take down the remaining villains who had been left behind…

--A few hours later…--

Izuku had been healed by Chiyo, who was also a pro-heroine known as Recovery Girl, and was currently seated on a chair while being questioned by a member of the police force. He was also blushing in embarrassment as Wankuro had decided to ignore her own chair so that she could contentedly hug him around his neck while nuzzling against his face and wagging her fluffy tail like an overgrown puppy.

Speaking of overgrown, Wankuro was easily as tall as Shouji Mezou, the tallest boy in Class 1A who had three pairs of arms which were connected to one another by a web of skin, pale-grey hair and a tall muscular physique. Needless to say, Izuku was noticeably shorter than her, never mind the smallest boy in class who was a perverted boy with purple balls in place of hair named Mineta Minoru. Even some of the teachers and policemen were shorter than her.

Gazing at the silly sight before him, a tall man with short hair and black eyes who was also dressed in a tan overcoat with a matching hat named Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa asked, "So, to put a long story short, that noumu is actually a childhood friend of yours who went missing after her abusive parents sold her to someone, Nikaido Wankuro. Also, you've somehow managed to calm her down even though she was supposed to be a uncontrollable berserker that would kill everyone around her and is supposedly as dangerous as the noumu that was especially made to kill All Might."

"That's correct, Tsukauchi-san," replied Izuku who raised his arm so that he could stroke Wankuro's head. Wankuro sighed happily as she continued to nuzzle against Izuku's face.

Unable to sense any lies in Izuku's testimony with his lie-detecting quirk, Naomasa sighed and said, "Well, the principal of your school has seen fit to let you keep her and, so far, I have seen no reason to suggest otherwise. However, we will be checking up on the both of you on occasion. We will also be running a DNA test to confirm that she is indeed Nikaido Wankuro."

Izuku nodded in understanding and then asked, "What will happen to Wan-chan?"

"Well, given the fact that she has been pacified by you and seems to be in good hands, there's a high chance that she will be put under your family's care, Midoriya-kun," answered Naomasa.

Suddenly, a voice said, "Of course, U.A. High School will be more than happy to help support your family in that endeavour, especially since the poor girl's blood relatives have proven themselves to be unfit as her guardians."

Naomasa, Izuku and even Wankuro turned their attention to the speaker who was a highly intelligent mouse-like animal with a scar that ran across his right eye. Recognising him to be Nedzu, the principal of U.A. High School, Izuku was curious and politely asked, "How exactly do you plan to help if I may ask, Nedzu-sensei?"

Nedzu smiled and explained, "Well, for starters, we will be setting up some dormitories. Officially, the dormitories will help to keep the students safe as well as make it easier for students to attend this school. Unofficially, it will allow you, your mother and Nikaido-kun to live together under our protection. Make no mistake, the very fact that you have somehow saved Nikaido-san's humanity is undoubtedly a good thing but there is no question that she will be a target of future attacks from the League of Villains. Considering that you're the one responsible for saving her, amongst other factors, also makes you a target, Midoriya-kun."

Izuku nodded as he grimly agreed with Nedzu's statement. Being All Might's successor and Wankuro's saviour, he was definitely going to be Tommura's target for future attacks. Sensing Izuku's change of mood, Wankuro growled viciously as she refused to allow anyone to harm him. Naomasa backed away as he was intimidated by her growl which sounded too deep and resonant for her to make.

"Villain attacks aside, this school will also help in registering Nikaido-kun as a member of your family. I trust that there will be no problems with that, yes?" said Nedzu.

"No, I don't think so. In fact, I'm quite sure that my mum will be overjoyed to have her as a member of the family," replied Izuku.

"Excellent!" exclaimed Nedzu who had a happy smile on his face before he added, "Now, if you may excuse me, I must go off to make several arrangements including setting up the dorms as I have mentioned earlier and making a public announcement about the attack at the USJ."

After Nedzu left, a skeletal blond man stepped into the room. Immediately recognising him to be Toshinori, Izuku was about to ask him but hesitated as he glanced at both Naomasa and Wankuro.

Understanding Izuku's hesitation, Toshinori smiled and explained, "It's all right, Midoriya-shounen. Detective Tsukauchi already knows about my current state and my quirk. Also, I trust you enough to know if she can be trusted with those secrets."

Relieved that he could speak freely, Izuku's shoulders relaxed as he asked Toshinori, "How do you feel, All Might?"

Wankuro raised an eyebrow as she could not understand why Izuku was referring to the skeletal blond man as All Might. Even if she had been unwillingly turned into a noumu, there was no way she could forget what All Might looked like.

Toshinori smiled and answered, "Sore and bruised but I'd take those over feeling guilty of being unable to save any of you any time." He then turned his attention at Wankuro who was gazing at him curiously and said, "So, this is the girl that I have heard so much about from you, Midoriya-shounen."

Izuku turned his attention to Wankuro and asked, "Wan-chan, do you remember how we want to be great heroes like All Might one day? Well, this is his true form."

Wankuro looked at Izuku with wide disbelieving eyes before she asked, "You shitting me?"

Naomasa snorted in amusement while Izuku grinned at her and rhetorically asked, "Do I look like I would make this up?"

Realising that Izuku was serious, Wankuro stared at Toshinori's skeletal form and bluntly asked, "You lost weight?"

"In a manner of speaking," admitted Toshinori who chuckled at Wankuro's childlike innocence and said, "I suffered a terrible injury many years ago, some time after… Midoriya-shounen lost contact with you. The injury has caused me to weaken over the years and I decided to pass on my powers to him. He owes a lot to you, Midoriya-shoujo." He was quite certain that Wankuro would be adopted by Midoriya Inko and thus saw no reason to call her by her original family name.

Wankuro's eyes were wide in wonder as she took in Toshinori's words and asked, "Your power?"

"That's right, Midoriya-shoujo. I met Midoriya-shounen while he was cleaning up Dagobah Municipal Beach Park to train his quirkless body for the entrance exams into U.A. High School. He told me about you and how he wanted to be strong and brave in spite of being quirkless like you."

"Not quirkless," said Wankuro.

Everyone blinked in surprise before Izuku asked Wankuro, "As in because you're different now or… even before that?"

Wankuro's eyes seemed distant and pained as she recalled what the League of Villains had said about her unusual quirk, "Before. Hidden quirk. Indomitable Spirit."

Shocked, All Might said, "It's just like the first holder…!"

"The first holder?" asked Izuku.

Toshinori sighed and explained about the origin of One For All and how it was related to the true leader of the League of Villains, All For One, "Long ago, during the dawn of quirks, there was a terrible villain known as All For One. He took control of the underworld in Japan and ruled it with an iron first. He also had a younger brother who, in spite of being physically weak and basically quirkless, had a strong sense of justice and wanted to stop All For One's villainy. For some reason, All For One gave a quirk to his younger brother. Even now, we do not know if it was out of sympathy for his own younger brother or out of a desire to have him under his control. That quirk was the ability to stockpile power. What neither brother realised at the time was that the younger brother had actually had a quirk, a hidden quirk which was the ability to be passed down from one user to the next. By itself, the younger brother's original quirk was useless but, by combining together with the quirk which All For One implanted into him, it became One For All. Although the younger brother knew that he could not take down All For One, he could pass it down to a worthy successor and, over the generations, allow it to gather enough power to eventually defeat his own brother. I myself am the eighth holder of the quirk and was originally quirkless before I received it from my late predecessor, Shimura Nana."

After hearing All Might's explanation about the origins of One For All, Izuku's mind went into overdrive as he started to mumble, "Wan-chan said that she has a hidden quirk called Indomitable Spirit. Assuming that the name is completely accurate, it stands to reason that the reason why she was never intimidated by Katsuki was because she had her quirk which made her much braver than most would be in her situation, myself included. That said, having an indomitable spirit does not equal to having a powerful body so it can still be argued that she was still fighting like a quirkless individual every time she fought against Katsuki all those years ago. That hidden quirk might even be the reason why she did not become a mindless monster like the noumu that was especially made to kill All Might. Indeed, being indomitable would allow her to withstand even circumstances which would break just about anyone and allow her to be defiant against whoever tried to control her by force. However, indomitable does not necessarily equate to being domineering since…"

Wankuro, whose head was starting to hurt due to her keen sense of hearing, gently smacked the back of Izuku's head with her paw-like hand. Surprised by the smack, Izuku turned his attention to her pouting face while she spoke to him, "Talk too much. My head hurts."

Blinking in surprise, Izuku then sheepishly asked Wankuro, "I was mumbling again, wasn't I?" A nod from Wankuro confirmed his statement and Izuku apologised, "Sorry about that, Wan-chan."

While Izuku apologised to Wankuro, Toshinori turned his attention to Naomasa and asked, "Did you get even half of what he said, Tsukauchi-san?"

Naomasa adjusted his hat to hide his mild embarrassment and said, "Just enough to know that her hidden quirk probably was the reason why she still had her own sense of will in spite of becoming a noumu and why the League of Villains could not control her." Naomasa then added, "You know, if Izuku had decided to be a detective instead of a pro-hero, he would have been a great boon to the police force."

"If it makes you feel any better, he was willing to consider other paths in life as long as he could help other people in any way he could," replied Toshinori.

Naomasa smiled and replied, "I'll keep that in mind, Toshinori." While there was no doubt that Izuku was well on his way to becoming a great hero, Naomasa could not help but wonder what kind of policeman or detective Izuku could have become.

--A short while later…--

Izuku's classmates could have returned home earlier but many of them, as in everyone other than Katsuki, decided to stay behind for him as they were curious about Izuku's relationship the noumu known as Wankuro. When Izuku and Wankuro finally came out of the room where he was questioned, his classmates gathered around them. Knowing that his classmates wanted some answers, Izuku sighed and pre-emptively introduced her to them, "Everyone, this is Nikaido Wankuro. She's an old childhood friend of mine who went missing years ago when her blood-related parents basically sold her away." He had to pause due to the collective shocked gasps from his classmates before he continued to explain, "It turns out that she was experimented on by the League of Villains to become a noumu just like the one which tried to kill All Might earlier. However, the couldn't control her so they decided to use her as a destructive berserker instead. I assume that Kirishima-san and Todoroki-san have already told you what happened once she entered the USJ."

"No way, she's the childhood friend you have told me and Iida-kun about?" asked Ochako. Being one of Izuku's first real friend ever since Wankuro disappeared, she was aware of Izuku's past as a seemingly quirkless boy who swore to help others even if he could not be a hero. In fact, they first met during the entrance exams of U.A. High School and had been friends ever since.

"The one and only," confirmed Izuku.

Iida Tenya, a tall and muscular boy with dark-blue hair, a serious-looking face and thick calves with exhaust pipes sticking out of them, adjusted his rectangular spectacles and asked, "That would explain why she reacted the way she did back at the USJ, you're as important to her as she's important to you." He was also one of Izuku's friends and they first met during the entrance exams into U.A. High School. He greatly respected Izuku's willingness to put himself into danger to save Ochako during the exams.

"So you didn't just save the girl, that girl's also your long-lost childhood friend," said Eijirou who then shed a tear as he clenched his fist and added, "If that doesn't scream manly, I don't know what does!"

"Their bond of friendship is nothing short of absolutely dazzling!" exclaimed a blond boy with a slim build, a feminine face and long eyelashes. Known as Aoyama Yuuga, the princely-looking boy was a rather flamboyant individual.

"One that could not be snuffed out even by the darkest of intentions," agreed Tokoyami Fumikage, a boy who had a crow-like head with black feathers, a yellow beak and red sharp eyes. Fumikage was connected to a shadowy bird-shaped entity known as Dark Shadow who nodded in agreement with him.

"So, what's going to happen to her?" asked a girl with long dark-green hair and frog-like features including large hands, a wide mouth and large oval eyes with black irises named Asui Tsuyu. One of the two people whom Izuku worked together with to defeat the villains who attacked them at the flood zone of the USJ, she quickly grew respect Izuku as a fellow hero-in-training. The fact that Izuku did not hesitate to defend her from Tomura only made him more admirable in her point of view.

"If all goes well, she will be able to stay with me and even get adopted as a member of my family," answered Izuku.

"So she'll technically be your sister even though she's not related to you by blood," said Minoru who had a lecherous grin on his face as he ogled at Wankuro's curvaceous figure. In spite of his perverted and cowardly nature, he was also a hero-in-training and he actually worked together with Izuku in defeating the villains at the flood zone of the USJ. It was also clear that Wankuro was becoming distrustful of Minoru and growled at him menacingly to make him stop ogling at her. Getting the message, Minoru yelped in fright and hid behind a blond boy with a slim build, slanted yellow eyes and small eyebrows named Kaminari Denki for protection.

Although a bit of a flirt, Denki knew better than to get on Wankuro's bad side and raised his hands to placate her as he spoke, "Please don't lump me together with Mineta. I'm not suicidal like him."

"That's rather debatable, you dolt," said a petite girl with a slender build, lazy-looking onyx eyes, short dark-purple hair and a pair of long plug-like earphone jacks hanging from her earlobes named Jirou Kyouka.

"What are the chances that she will be joining U.A. High School as a student?" asked a boy with almond-shaped eyes, black hair, large straight teeth and cylindrical elbows which produced cellophane tape named Sero Hanta.

Izuku shrugged and admitted, "Nedzu-sensei didn't say anything specific about that but I'm guessing that it's a pretty good chance since Wan-chan will be staying at the dorms with us."

A tall muscular boy with a wide build, a round nose, full lips and short spiky brown hair named Satou Rikidou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wait, what do you mean by dorms?"

Seeing no reason to not tell his classmates about Nedzu's plan to build the dorms, Izuku told them about it. After Izuku told them, a tall girl with onyx eyes, long black hair that was tied into a ponytail and a mature physique named Yaoyorozu Momo rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "Well, considering the circumstances, I can see why Nedzu-sensei has decided to build the dorms. Between the recent villain attack and Nikaido-san's…"

"Not Nikaido."

Surprised, Izuku's classmates turned their attention to Wankuro who was frowning as she corrected Momo, "Midoriya, real family."

Recalling the fact that Wankuro's own blood-related parents had sold her off to actual villains, Momo realised her error of judgement and apologetically said, "I apologise for forgetting about your… circumstances, Midoriya-san."

"You know, calling the both of them Midoriya-san will make things mighty confusing when they are together," said a girl with pink skin, fluffy pink hair, yellow eyes with black sclera and a pair of hooked yellow horns on her head named Ashido Mina. She then suggested, "Why don't we just call her Midori-chan and our resident green bean Midoriya-kun?"

Kyouka raised her hand and said, "I'd second that. It'll be a lot easier for all of us to know which one we're talking to."

An invisible girl with a slender yet fairly curvaceous body nodded while voicing her opinion, "Midori-chan is a pretty cute nickname too." A quiet boy with a broad muscular build and a rock-like face named Kouda Kouji had a blush on his face as he nodded in agreement with Tooru.

"Seems reasonable, kero," said Tsuyu.

Ochako turned her attention to Wankuro and asked, "So, do you want us to call you Midori-chan?"

Wankuro tilted her head to think it over before she nodded with a smile and said, "No problem." Compared to the more insulting or demeaning nicknames she had heard before, "Midori-chan" was undoubtedly a massive improvement. It should be noted that her tail was wagging as she accepted the nickname.

"Then it's a pleasure to be your acquaintance, Midori-chan," said Momo. The other girls from Class 1A smiled and nodded.

Wankuro blushed slightly before she looked away from the girls of Class 1A. Izuku recognised the look on her face as the same one she had when she first met his mother, a woman with short green hair that was tied into a ponytail on the left and green eyes called Midoriya Inko. It was an expression of bashful uncertainty in the face of positive interaction which, given Wankuro's childhood, was undoubtedly something that did not happen very often.

Izuku had an understanding smile as he held onto Wankuro's hand and spoke to her, "It's all right. They're all good people."

Although still bashful, Wankuro accepted Izuku's encouragement and her hold onto his hand tightened slightly. The interaction between the two did not go unnoticed as Ochako pouted slightly due to a twinge of possessive jealousy while Mina had a wide cheeky grin on her face.

Momo had a small blush on her face as she cleared her throat and said, "As I was saying, given recent events and Midori-chan's circumstances, forming a dorm system would make sense as it would allow the school to keep the students, including her, safe."

"Not to mention that she'll be better off staying at the dorms with people whom she can trust instead of sending her off to an isolated lab," agreed Tenya.

"Not that I disagree with any of you, but isn't Midori-chan a girl?" asked a blond boy with thin eyes and a long thick tail with a hairy tip named Ojiro Mashirao.

An awkward moment of silence passed due to Mashirao's innocently sensible question before Minoru asked, "So, is she going to stay in the boys' side with us or is Midoriya going to stay on the girls' side with her?" Mentally, he thought, "He's one lucky son of a gun!" As perverted as he was, he had a strong sense of respect towards Izuku and did not begrudge him for having someone like Wankuro as a childhood friend who was also a very sexy girl.

Izuku blushed to the point that his face was like a freckled tomato as he realised what living in the dorms would lead to. Ochako also blushed as she both feared and hoped that Izuku would stay on the girls' side of the dorms so that she could see him whenever she wanted. She had a feeling that Wankuro was going to be a major source of competition. Suddenly, she thought, "Wait, why am I thinking of her as competition? It's not like I'm…" Ochako's face then blushed as she realised that she actually had romantic feelings for Izuku and accidentally made herself float due to hiding her red face behind her hands.

"Ah, Uraraka-san! You're floating away!" cried Izuku who was panicking as he tried to bring her down before she floated to the ceiling.

Mina, who considered herself as an "expert in romance", grinned at Ochako and Izuku as she realised that they boy was currently in the middle of what could be considered as a love triangle with both Ochako and Wankuro. She looked forward to seeing the drama and comedy that was sure to follow.

--A few days later…--

The dorm for Class 1A had been built and Izuku, along with his mother and recently-adopted sister, Midoriya Wankuro, quickly moved into the dorm with his classmates. The dorm was divided into two sides, one side of the boys and another side of the girls. Both the boys' side and the girls' side of the dorms had five floors with four rooms in each floor and were connected to one another by a common space on the ground floor.

As expected, Izuku was going to stay together with Wankuro and his mother. In fact, they were going to live on the top floor of the girls' side of the dorms. Under normal circumstances, a boy should not live on the girls' side of the dorms but Izuku was given special permission due to his connection with Wakuro. The last thing the teachers and staff of U.A. High School wanted was Wankuro deciding to break into the boys' side of the dorms so that she could spend time with Izuku.

Before long, everyone from class 1A had moved into the dorm and set up their respective rooms. While everyone was relaxing for the evening before they had to resume classes the following day, many of Izuku's classmates noticed something about him.

Izuku was very good at pampering Wankuro.

Everyone in the common space stared at Izuku as he affectionately petted Wankuro's furry ears and scratched her chin as though she was a dog. She had an adorably blissful expression on her face while he pampered her without a care in the world. Her long fluffy tail was wagging vigorously while her head was lying on Izuku's lap. She was also currently dressed in what was basically a white T-shirt which was too short to conceal her toned stomach and a pair of short jeans. As for Izuku, he was dressed in his casual clothes and he had a contented smile on his face as he petted Wankuro much like how he had done so many years ago before she got separated from him due to circumstances beyond their control.

Although there was no denying that whatever Izuku was doing to Wankuro was completely innocent, it was also undeniably intimate to the point that some of the students got flustered from just watching them. Minoru rubbed his chin as he asked Denki and Hanta, "Should we be jealous of those two? I mean, sure he's basically treating a hot girl like a pet but those two are so pure about it that getting jealous of him would be like getting jealous of Kouji for petting his pet rabbit."

"Honestly, I'm a bit jealous but that's mostly because Midori-chan is a hot-as-hell babe," replied Denki.

"Plus, they're not blood related so there's a chance that things will get spicy between them at some point," added Hanta.

"True enough," said Minoru who nodded his head in a sagely manner.

While Minori, Denki and Hanta were having their discussion, the girls of Class 1A were having their own discussion in a separate section of the common area. Mina grinned at Ochako and asked, "So, when are you going to tell Midoriya that you like him?"

Ochako blushed as she looked down to avoid looking at the other girls in the eyes and asked, "Was I really that obvious?"

"Considering how pouty you got when Midoriya started pampering Midori-chan, we'd have to be blind not to notice it," said Kyouka.

"Speaking of those two, I sincerely hope that they do not do this sort of thing in public too often," said Momo who sighed as she added, "It would give other people the wrong idea."

"Personally, I think it's pretty cute," argued Tooru.

Tsuyu placed her finger on her lips and wondered aloud, "I wonder what it feels like to be petted by Midoriya-chan, kero."

Shocked by the unexpected question, the other five girls stared at her as though she had grown a second head before Momo asked, "Why in the world would you even think of such a scandalous thing?"

"Well, Midori-chan seems to like it a lot so I'm a bit curious about it, kero," replied Tsuyu.

Although unable to deny the truth, Momo argued, "That may be true, but we can't very well ask Midoriya-san to pet us like her. Unlike Midori-chan, we do not have an extensive positive childhood history with him."

Suddenly, Mina had an idea and grinned at Ochako as she asked her, "Why don't you go and ask Midoriya if he could pet you? You're both close friends after all."

"W-w-why would you even consider suggesting such a thing?!" asked Ochako who looked ready to burst due to embarrassment.

"If you don't do something about this, Midori-chan will end up stealing Midoriya-kun before you know it," argued Mina who then added, "Don't forget, they're not blood related so there's no reason for him to not be romantically attracted to her later on."

Tooru, Momo, Kyouka and Tsuyu could not help but mentally make the same comment about Mina's argument, "That's a low blow!"

As for Ochako, she realised that Mina was right but she was too shy to ask Izuku to pet her like how he was petting Wankuro. However, as she looked at Izuku's smile while he petted Wankuro who was basically hogging all of his affectionate attention, Ochako felt a growing need to compete with her to gain Izuku's affections. She might not be able to win Izuku's heart in the end but she was going to at least try.

After gathering her courage, Ochako strode towards Izuku and Wankuro who were both on a couch. They both noticed her approach and Wankuro gazed at her curiously while Izuku asked, "Is there something you need, Uraraka-san?"

Ochako blush intensified before she asked, "Deku… c-can you… pet me like how you're petting Midori-chan?"

Unable to believe what he was hearing, Izuku blinked before he asked, "Can you please repeat that?"

Ochako could have sworn that her face was steaming as she asked again, "C-can you pet me like how you're petting Midori-chan?"

The boys who overheard Ochako's request could not believe their ears as they never imagined her wanting to be treated like a pet by Izuku. Granted, some of them could tell that Ochako seemed to like Izuku in a possibly romantic manner but none of his classmates, especially Katsuki, expected her to make such a bold request so soon. Then again, not even Izuku expected the sudden reunion with his long-lost childhood friend a few days ago.

Izuku blushed when he realised what Ochako was requesting and he had to ask, "I-is there any reason in particular why you want me to pet you?" Unlike Wankuro, whom he could pamper without a care in the world due to being used to it as both an innocent childhood activity and a present necessity to keep her calm, Ochako was his new friend and, more importantly, someone whom he might be feeling romantically attracted to. A part of him realised that he was not being completely rational but he could not help but feel that pampering Ochako the same way as he had been pampering Wankuro would be appropriate somehow.

Unable to admit that she was romantically interested in Izuku yet unwilling to back down, Ochako simply stood before him and Wankuro with her eyes shut. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was sure that she was going to die from embarrassment and Izuku would consider rejecting her as a friend.

Unexpectedly, Wankuro got up and approached Ochako. Intimidated by the tall girl whom she was assuming did not want any competition for Izuku's affections, Ochako looked up at her with wide frightened eyes. Ochako was about to step back when Wankuro bent down to sniff her like an actual dog. Surprised, Ochako stood still while Wankuro inspected her by taking in her scent. Although nervous, Ochako refused to back down from Wankuro's inspection.

After a minute of inspection, Wankuro suddenly grinned at Ochako and said, "You're nice girl."

Before Ochako could respond, Wankuro suddenly hugged her in such a way that her face was buried into her ample cleavage. Wankuro then cheerfully dragged Ochako, who was struggling to free herself, to Izuku like a puppy which was bringing a toy to its owner. She then threw herself and Ochako onto Izuku, causing both Izuku and Ochako to yelp in surprise. Wankuro was positioned in such a way that her head was on Izuku's lap while Ochako lay on top of her.

When Ochako regained her bearings after being suddenly brought onto the couch by Wakuro, she looked up to see Izuku's blushing face and her own blush became so intense that it almost seemed like it was glowing bright pink. Unable to look at Izuku in the eyes, she buried her face into Wankuro's breasts. As she tried to make herself disappear, she thought to herself, "Please, just kill me already!"

Although embarrassed, Izuku realised that Ochako was serious and that Wankuro was somehow fine with it. As such, he awkwardly asked, "Uraraka-san, do you… still want me to pet you?" A moment later, Ochako shyly nodded her head and Izuku took a moment to look at Wankuro who seemed to be enjoying hugging Ochako like she was a pet bunny. He took a moment to calm his nerves before he started petting the back of Ochako's head.

Ochako flinched slightly at the petting but soon relaxed as she realised that his strong hands were undeniably warm and gentle. She soon started sighing contentedly as Izuku continued to pet her head like how he had petted Wankuro. Even Wankuro's undeniably affectionate embrace was surprisingly comfortable. Soon, Ochako started to feel sleepy and thought, "I… could get used to this…"

Unsure if he was petting Ochako properly, Izuku asked, "Are you feeling comfortable, Uraraka-san?"

"Yes," replied Ochako who was speaking in a rather sleepy manner.

Relieved, Izuku turned his attention to Wankuro and realised that she was smiling happily as she continued to hug Ochako. He smiled and decided not to worry about Ochako's sudden interest in getting petted for the moment. He was so contented that he was blissfully unaware of the other people who were staring at him and the two girls whom he was sharing the couch with.

"Oh, my gosh! That's just so precious!" said Mina who was close to making a high-pitched squeal of delight which could shatter glass.

"Something tells me that we'll be needing insulin shots before long," said Kyouka who blushed as the intimate yet adorably innocent sight.

"Now I'm really curious about how it feels like to be petted by Midoriya-chan, kero," said Tsuyu.

"I'm so sharing these with everyone in class!" said Tooru who was taking pictures of Izuku, Wankuro and Ochako with her smart phone.

While the girls were happy for Ochako who was receiving Izuku's "head pats", a certain trio of boys became jealous of him. Minoru had a bitter look of envy in his eyes as he clenched his fist and growled, "That lucky son of a gun! He now has both Midori-chan and Uraraka-chan!"

"Is it just me or is Midori-chan the type who's okay with sharing Midoriya with other girls?" asked Hanta.

"It certainly seems that way," confirmed Denki who then added, "Let's just hope that Midoriya does not end up with even more girls in his harem."

Minoru suddenly shivered and said, "Kaminari, you might have just jinxed us…!"

--A short while later…--

A slightly overweight middle-aged woman named Midoriya Inko, who had curves in all the right places as Minoru would put it, giggled as she saw her son, Izuku, being stuck on the couch together with Wankuro and Ochako. Wakuro was sleeping contentedly with her head on Izuku's lap and Ochako slept soundly while lying on top of the other girl. As for Izuku, he had just realised that he had been petting Wankuro and then Ochako for the past half hour in the common area where everyone with functional eyeballs could see them.

"I see that you three have gotten rather comfortable, Izuku," said Inko who had a mischievous gleam in her affectionate gaze.

Izuku blushed as he spoke to his mother who had just finished preparing dinner together with Rikidou, "Mom, please tell me that you're the only one who saw us."

"Nope, practically everyone in class has seen you three!" said Mina who had a cheeky grin on her face while making her presence known to Izuku.

Tenya, who could not bring himself to interrupt Izuku's "petting sessions" blushed as he looked away from Izuku and admitted, "I… thought that interrupting you would be a bad thing, Midoriya-kun."

"To be fair, you three have been so innocent about it that even our resident pervert here knows that you three weren't doing anything close to sexual," said Hanta while pointing his thumb at Minoru who nodded in agreement with him.

"That said, you might want to avoid doing it too often, especially outside of the dorms. The last thing we need are people getting the wrong ideas," said Momo.

"Not that there's anything unmanly about doing cutesy stuff," said Eijirou who gave Izuku a thumb's up.

Izuku hid his face behind his hands as he groaned and thought, "I'm never going to live it down!"

Inko smiled as she fully realised that Izuku had found himself many new wonderful friends at U.A. High School. She could only hope that Izuku's friendships with his new friends would stay strong and true.

Eventually, dinner was served and both Ochako and Izuku did not dare to look at one another during dinnertime due to sheer embarrassment. That said, they both could not deny the growing attraction they had for one another.

It should be noted that everyone, even Katsuki, liked Inko's cooking and realised that Rikidou was actually very good at making sweet food such as chiffon cake. In fact, Wankuro liked the cake so much as she basically used her "puppy eyes" to beg for more from him. Needless to say, few could resist her adorable face and Rikidou promised to make different kinds of food for her in the future. The innocently happy hug which she gave him was an admittedly nice incentive.

--Later that night…--

Izuku and Wankuro were currently sleeping in his room which had a large bed for two people to sleep on. The boy comfortingly petted Wankuro as he knew that she could not sleep soundly by herself due to her trauma of being abused by her own blood-related parents followed by being forcibly turned into a noumu. Although the girl was undoubtedly strong in willpower, even she could suffer post-traumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD) which was part of the reason why she was needy for affection. Understanding her pain and fears, Izuku saw nothing wrong with comforting her even if it meant basically pampering her whenever she asked for it back in his original home and even at the dorms. Of course, after the embarrassment Izuku had suffered back at the common area of the dorms earlier, as well as realising that Momo was right about unintentionally giving other people the wrong idea, he was starting to consider setting up a few ground rules so that he would not end up making a scene every time he comforted Wankuro.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and a familiar voice saying, "Deku, can I come in? I want to talk to you about just now."

Realising that Ochako was at the door, Izuku blushed and stuttered, "S-sure, just give me a minute."

Izuku then stopped petting Wankuro and tried to get out of bed. However, Wankuro did not want to let go of her source of comfort and quickly hugged Izuku before he could get away. Although Izuku knew that Wankuro would eventually need to learn to sleep on her own, he could not bring himself to push her away or even feel frustrated by her neediness. Sighing in resignation, Izuku called out to Ochako, "Uraraka-san, Wan-chan's in bed with me and she refuses to let me get out of bed."

"Wait, what do you mean by she's in bed with you?" asked Uraraka who sounded alarmed.

Realising what he had just said and how it could be interpreted, Izuku quickly explained, "W-Wan-chan can't sleep by herself because of what she has been through so I keep her company so that she can sleep without having any nightmares!"

"O-oh! Do you want me to come back later then?" asked Ochako.

Izuku actually wanted to talk to Ochako so he replied, "Well, you can come in if you want. Just… don't jump to any conclusions, okay?"

"Then please excuse me for intruding," said Ochako.

The door into Izuku's room opened and Ochako, who was dressed in pink pyjamas and a pair of cute pink mittens, stepped in. She was blushing as she closed the door behind her and noticed that Izuku was currently in Wankuro's arms. Although Ochako knew that she should not be feeling jealous of Wankuro, she could not help but wish that she could hug Izuku so intimately. Shaking her head to get rid of the distracting thoughts, Ochako then asked Izuku, "So… about just now… did you mind petting me?"

"N-not really. I actually enjoyed petting you," admitted Izuku who then added, "N-not that I think of you as a pet or anything demeaning like that!"

Ochako's blush deepened in response to Izuku's reply before she said, "I-I'm glad that you thought that way. I… also liked getting petted by you. Your hands were really kind and warm."

An awkward moment of silence passed before Izuku finally asked, "Was there any reason why you wanted me to pet you?" Although he saw Ochako as a dear friend and knew that the feeling was mutual, he honestly never expected her to ask to be petted like Wankuro.

"Yeah, about that… I… well… IlikeyoualotanddontwanttolosetoMidorichan!" exclaimed Ochako.

It took Izuku a moment to process what Ochako had just said before he blushed and asked, "Did you just say that you like me a lot, as in more than just a friend?" While Izuku saw her as a potential romantic interest, he never expected her to feel the same way about him.

Ochako could only nod to confirm Izuku's statement.

Realising that Ochako actually liked him in a romantic way, Izuku shyly admitted, "I… well… might actually feel the same way about you."

"Y-you do?" asked Ochako.

Izuku nodded and explained, "Before I met you, the only other real friend I had was Wan-chan and… well… you already know what happened to her." As much as Izuku hated to admit it, he was essentially deprived of genuine friends ever since he and Wankuro got separated until he met Ochako at the entrance exams of U.A. High School.

"So… does that make us boyfriend and girlfriend?" asked Ochako.

"Probably," said Izuku who then asked, "Do you mind if we take it slow though? I don't want to be too hasty about this." The last thing Izuku wanted was to quickly develop deeper feelings for Ochako only to end up disappointed in the end much like how his childhood friendship with Katsuki ultimately ended in disappointment.

Ochako snorted in amusement and said, "Sure, I don't mind." After the embarrassment of letting herself get petted by Izuku, in the common area of the dorms no less, she could use a slower pace in developing her possibly romantic relationship with him.

"So, about not wanting to lose to Wan-chan, is that the reason why you decided to get petted by me?" asked Izuku.

"More of less," admitted Ochako who then explained, "You seemed so happy and comfortable while petting her that I got… well… jealous of her basically. I know that I shouldn't feel that way but I couldn't help myself especially after Mina-chan said that you might end up having romantic feelings for her."

"Well, I'd be lying if I didn't have a crush on her back when we were kids but, as things are now, I'd rather focus on helping her get better before I even consider dating her," replied Izuku.

Ochako nodded in understanding before she asked, "So… since we're in a relationship, do you mind if I join in, just for a little bit?"

"Join in as in sleep in bed with us?" asked Izuku who then had to add, "Isn't that the opposite of taking it slow?"

"Maybe, but after what happened just now, it's not that big a leap honestly," said Ochako who was trying to twiddle her fingers through the mittens that she wore to prevent her gravity-nullifying quirk from accidentally activating.

"Well, Wan-chan seems to like you so I guess it's okay for you to sleep with us for a bit," said Izuku who was blushing at the fact that Ochako was going to be in the same bed with him and Wankuro.

"Thank you, Deku," said Ochako who then got onto the bed with both Izuku and Wankuro. As Izuku expected, Wankuro did not mind Ochako's presence and continued to sleep soundly. The bed, which was meant for two people, was understandably a bit cramped with Izuku, Wankuro and Ochako sharing it. In spite of the lack of space, Ochako and Izuku did not mind as they gazed at one another with Wankuro sleeping in between them. Although embarrassed, they both appreciated being physically close to one another even with Wankuro snuggled between them.

Emboldened by the recent revelation that they had deeper feelings for each other, Izuku reached out to touch Ochako's cheek with his right hand, only stopping himself to make sure that she was all right with it before making skin contact. Knowing what Izuku wanted to do, Ochako shyly nodded so that he would know that he could proceed. Accepting her wordless permission, Izuku tenderly stroked her cheek. Ochako sighed as she felt his hand on the bare skin of her cheek. While getting petted by him felt nice, the warmth of his skin against her own was significantly more comforting. Encouraged by her reaction, Izuku continued to stroke her cheek. Wanting to express her affection for the boy, Ochako tenderly placed her left hand onto Izuku's right hand. Although she was wearing mittens, Izuku appreciated the sensation as he felt increasing sure that he truly cared for her as more than just a friend and, just maybe, the feeling was truly mutual.

Before long, Ochako felt sleepy and, instead of returning to her own room, she fell asleep while snuggling against Wankuro's warm body. As for Izuku, he knew that he should wake her up and remind her to go back to her room but he was too comfortable with his current sleeping arrangement to bother with the effort of forcing her to wake up. Unable to keep his heavy eyelids open, Izuku closed his eyes and sighed softly as he fell into slumber.

--The following day…--

Izuku, Wankuro and Ochako were still soundly asleep when Inko found them sleeping together on the same bed. Although surprised by the sudden development, she recognised Ochako and realised that the three of them were simply sleeping together in the same bed with no inappropriate intentions. Giggling softly to herself, she closed the door into Izuku's room, which had less All Might merchandise than one might expect from a hopeless fan of heroes like him, and left the three of them alone. Although the three of them would have to wake up eventually, a few extra minutes of blissful slumber wouldn't hurt them as far as Inko was concerned.

Speaking of All Might merchandise, Izuku kept most of his personal collection in the fourth room of the fifth floor which was the furthest one from the elevator.

--Less than five minutes later…--

Izuku was blissfully asleep when he suddenly heard someone snickering and/or giggling. Although he wanted to stay asleep, he knew that he had to wake up eventually. Opening one eye, he looked at the door and quickly realised that it was opened. Standing at the door were the rest of the girls from Class 1A. Mina had a huge grin on her face and had her smart phone in her hand while both Momo and Kyouka had blushes on their faces. Izuku could not see Tooru's face due to her invisible nature but Izuku could tell that she was giggling while holding her own smart phone to take pictures and Tsuyu had a slight blush on her normally blank expression.

Blushing in embarrassment, Izuku tried to explain his situation only for Wankuro to yawn, look at him with a sleepy smile and suddenly hug him in such a way that his face was firmly pressed between her breasts. Even more embarrassed than before, Izuku struggled to free himself while trying to say, "P-please let go of me, Wan-chan!" Since his face was "stuck" into Wankuro's cleavage, his plea was comically muffled.

"Can't hear you. Too sleepy," replied Wankuro who was most definitely awake and making excuses.

"Wan-chan!" cried Izuku who was seriously considering the merit of using One For All to break free from Wankuro's undeniably strong hold onto him.

Mina, Tooru and Kyouka laughed at Izuku's hilariously embarrassing predicament until their stomachs hurt. Ochako woke up due to the laughter and, upon realising who were at the door, buried her blushing faced into Wankuro's hair to release a muffled scream.

"Oh, I'm so sharing there with everyone!" said Mina.

Realising what Mina was about to do, Ochako immediately leapt out of bed and ran after her while yelling, "Don't you dare!"

Both Mina and Tooru ran away from Ochako while trying to send the pictures they had taken to everyone in Class 1A.

Izuku sighed in resignation as he realised that his days in U.A. High School were going to get a lot crazier with Wankuro around. As he felt the warm softness of Wankuro's breasts and took in her scent, Izuku blushed and willingly admitted to himself, "Well, there are certainly worse ways to wake up."

Wankuro had a happy smile on her face as she hugged Izuku affectionately while cheerfully ignoring the ongoing chaos caused by Ochako who was chasing after Mina and Tooru.

--End Chapter--

Author's Notes:

As stated before, this story focuses more on fluff than smut and I hope that the fluff and plot are well worth the growing interest everyone has towards this story.

The next update will be Izuku's Harem Academia and, hopefully, I will be able to get it posted in January next year.

Until next time, an early Happy New Year and go beyond, plus ultra!
