Izuku's Pet Noumu

by Raja-Ulat

What if Izuku had a real childhood friend who was actually a girl? What if that girl was unwillingly turned into a Noumu long before Izuku entered U.A. High School? What if Izuku was able to save her and somehow ended up having her as a "pet" after the USJ incident? Well, this fanfiction story explores that idea with lots of fluff.

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 6: Party Time!

Izuku, along with Eijirou, Mina and Kouji, woke up early so that they could make their way to a nearby marketplace to get the necessary ingredients for the party later that evening. However, many people quickly recognised them, especially Izuku, and crowded around them to congratulate them and even ask for Izuku's autographs. In the end, Izuku and his three classmates had to resort to hiding in a small clothes shop and disguising themselves with sunglasses, caps and face masks to conceal their identities. Thankfully for them, the owner of the shop was happy to help them out and even gave them the disguises for free in exchange for some autographs.

"Man, who would have thought that being famous can get this troublesome," said Eijirou who still could not believe how persistent the fans could be. The fans who were girls were especially persistent.

"Yeah, no kidding," groaned Mina who was starting to realise why some pro-heroes preferred to stay away from the public when not on duty.

Kouji, who was shy by nature and almost had a panic attack when people started crowding around him and his friends, nodded in silent agreement with Eijirou.

Izuku chuckled sheepishly and said, "Sorry about that, guys. I never expected people to crowd around me as though I'm the next All Might."

Eijirou grinned at Izuku and said, "Don't sweat about it, Izu-aniki! If I wasn't your classmate, I would have been a fan-boy myself."

"Speaking about sweating, were you really the one who cleaned up Dagobah Beach?" asked Mina. Due to the excitement of both the sports festival and the upcoming party, she almost forgot to ask Izuku about his role in cleaning up the beach.

Izuku smiled and replied, "Yup. Like what Toshinori-san said yesterday, I was cleaning up the place to train my body and do some good at the same time before I took the entrance exams."

"Wait, you cleaned up the entire beach all by yourself?" asked Ejirou who then had to add, "That's so manly!"

"It's not like I didn't get any help you know. Toshinori-san's food and rest recommendations really helped me to build up my body to clean up the place on my own. Plus, my mom's a really good cook who knows what to do about the food I needed to eat. I honestly don't know if I could have cleaned up the whole beach before the entrance exams without their help," replied Izuku.

"That may be true, but that doesn't change the fact that you literally cleaned up the place on your own," said Mina while Kouji nodded in agreement with her. She then added, "Do you know that the place is now a popular dating spot and no one knows who's the one who cleaned up all that junk there?"

"Really? I didn't know people were dating there. I was using the beach as a place to jog around during the early morning until I moved into the dorms along with you guys," said Izuku.

"Seriously, are you a saint or something?" asked Mina who also thought, "This guy's going to break a lot of hearts if he keeps this up!"

--Meanwhile, at the 1A Dorm…--

Wankuro, who had to stay at the dorm since she could not leave the security of the school grounds just yet, was lazing about on a patch of grass which was exposed to bright sunlight. She had a cute contented smile on her face as she allowed herself to roll about on the grass like a dog. In theory, she could help the others to prepare for the party but, since there were more than enough people around to do so already, Wankuro was given the task to be the unofficial watchdog of the dorm building instead. She did not mind the task as she enjoyed the chance to laze around even though Izuku was not with her.

While Wankuro was lazing about, Ochako, Tsuyu, Momo, Yuuga and Hanta were setting up the decorations. Hanta made strips of tape from his rounded elbows while Momo made other kinds of decorations including stars, ribbons and balloons. Ochako and Tsuyu pasted the decorations onto the walls of the common area while Yuuga added glitter onto Sero's tape after the other decorations were added.

In the kitchen, Inko and Rikidou were discussing about the food that they would make which included pies and cookies. They also talked about preparing pasta and tempura dishes. There was even a plan for an outdoor barbecue.

Kyouka, with the help of both Fumikage and Mezou, set up various musical instruments and karaoke equipment at the veranda of the dorm building. She smiled as she tested the said instruments and equipment to her satisfaction.

Denki and Minoru were grinning as they discussed about the various games that they could play with the board games and card games that they had in hand. Although they could not plan anything too raunchy since there would be other guests, including teachers, they could still try to have their own version of fun somehow.

Tenya was busy sending invites to not only the teachers of the high school but also his brother, Tensei, and even the students of Class 1B, Mei and Hitoshi whom Class 1A decided to include during the later parts of the party planning. Once the invites had been done, he proceeded to make sure that the party preparations were proceeding as scheduled and offered help where needed.

Mashirao and Tooru, who wanted to help out, volunteered to get some of the things that were needed for the party including drinks and disposable cups. Mashirao blushed as Tooru wondered aloud if their outing counted as a date. He honestly could not tell if the invisible girl was being serious or was just teasing him.

Katsuki, who was not interested in helping, went out to train on his own. After the humiliation he had suffered during the sports festival, he was determined to become even stronger so that no one would look down on him ever again.

Back to Wankuro, she was staring to doze off when she smelled something and opened one eye to see some people approaching the dorm building…

--Elsewhere…--

Shouto, who was secretly glad that he knew his father's credit card number as he planned to buy a lot of soba for everyone later that day, made his way to the mental ward of the hospital where his mother was basically imprisoned. In spite of his seemingly calm demeanour, he was nervous as he had not seen her for years and feared that his appearance would only worsen her mental condition. However, he knew that he had to see her and talk to her so that he could move on to become the hero he wanted to be.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he opened the door and entered the room to see his mother, a woman with white hair and tired-looking grey eyes named Todoroki Rei. As the woman was looking out of the window, she did not realise that her own son had entered the room as Shouto spoke to her, "Mother."

Surprised, Rei turned around and her eyes widened slightly as she recognised the son whom she had harmed in a moment of madness. Shouto stepped forward to approach her and thought, "Even if she doesn't want it, I will rescue her from this place. That is my starting line."

--Back to Izuku's group…--

Izuku, Eijirou, Mina and Kouji were entering the dorm while carrying large bags full of ingredients when they noticed something. Ochako was talking to two adults who were apparently her parents with a happy smile on her face. She clearly had her mother's looks as her mother had similar hair and even her own round pink blush marks on her cheeks. As for her father, he was a tall muscular man with dark yellow hair, an unshaven stubble on his masculine jawline and brown eyes.

Due to the lack of official information, the author decided to simply name them Mr. Uraraka and Mrs Uraraka with no mention about their quirks.

Wankuro, who knew that Mr and Mrs Uraraka were Ochako's parents by their scent, smiled as she sat on the couch next to Ochako and allowed her to pat her head. Mr and Mrs Uraraka, who were seated on a separate couch, were given green tea and some biscuits by Inko while they talked to Ochako about her stay at the dorm and her education.

Izuku smiled at the scene and was about to leave Ochako alone with her parents and Wankuro when Mina grinned at him and said, "Well, what are you waiting for? Go and introduce yourself to them!"

Blushing, Izuku sputtered, "B-but I need to send these things to my mum and help her cook some of the food!"

"Don't you worry about that! Your girlfriend's parents are there!" said Mina who then started to push him towards Wankuro, Ochako, Mr Uraraka and Mrs Uraraka.

In spite of his superior physical abilities, Izuku was helpless before Mina's determination to see him interact with Ochako's parents. Noticing Izuku, Wankuro smiled and quickly bounded towards him to give him a hug while saying, "Welcome home, Izu-chan!"

Mrs Uraraka placed her hand over her mouth as she spoke her thoughts about Wankuro's way of hugging Izuku aloud, "Oh my…!"

Ochako smiled sheepishly as she explained, "Yeah, Midori-chan tends to hug Deku with his face in her… chest."

"You don't say?" said Mr Uraraka who was looking at Izuku while rubbing his chin.

More embarrassed than normal due to having his face deep in Wankuro's cleavage in front of Ochako's parents, Izuku pushed Wankuro away and whispered, "Wan-chan! Not in front of Ochako-chan's parents!"

Not understanding Izuku's comical distress, Wankuro tilted her head and curiously asked, "Why not?" She never quite understood why hugging Izuku with his face in her chest was a bad thing. After all, she couldn't help being so tall.

Mr Uraraka got up from his seat and approached Izuku while speaking with a grim expression on his face, "So you must be Midoriya Izuku."

Feeling threatened in spite of having One For All, Izuku stood straight and stuttered, "Y-yes I am, sir."

Izuku's whole body stiffened as Mr. Uraraka placed his hand onto his shoulder and said, "Put your bags down and follow me outside. We're going to have a little chat."

"Y-yes sir…!" replied Izuku who wondered if he should have written his will.

Ochako stood up and pouted as she yelled at Mr Uraraka, "Dad, you're scaring him!"

Mr Uraraka's demeanour suddenly shifted to a cheerful smile as he admitted, "Sorry about that, Ochako. I couldn't resist teasing your boyfriend."

Ochako's blush deepened while her cheeks puffed out even more before she groaned, "Dad, you're embarrassing me!"

Relieved that Mr Uraraka was more easygoing that he had expected, Izuku allowed himself to relax slightly while Wankuro stealthily helped to take the bags in his hands to the kitchen at Mina's silent request. The pink-skinned girl was determined to help Izuku and Ochako develop a real heart-thumping romance.

Mr Uraraka grinned jovially as he invited Izuku to take a seat with the Uraraka family. Izuku turned his attention to Ochako who smiled bashfully as she explained, "My parents wanted to come over to see me and have a small party."

"We never expected her friends to have the same idea," said Mrs Uraraka who smiled at Izuku. She took note of his seemingly plain appearance, which belied his muscular body and his bright green eyes, and thought, "Brave, heroic and handsome to boot. I can see why Ochako is smitten with him."

"So, care to tell us a bit about yourself?" asked Mr Uraraka who added, "Our daughter had told us a lot about you and EVERYONE knows about your performance in the sports festival but we'd like to hear your story directly from you."

Izuku, who sat next to Ochako, blushed as he spoke, "Well, it's a bit of a long story."

"We won't be heading back until later tonight so we have more than enough time," said Mrs Uraraka.

Realising that Ochako's parents were truly interested to know him better, Izuku glanced at Ochako who smiled at him reassuringly before he spoke to them, "All right, then. You might want to make yourselves comfortable though since it may take a while."

Little did Izuku and Ochako realise that Mina and Inko were spying on them from inside the kitchen. Inko would have loved to join in the conversation but she had to help prepare the food and knew that she would have a chance to speak to Ochako's parents later. While Inko smiled proudly, Mina grinned triumphantly and though, "Success!"

--A short while later…--

Momo smiled as she spoke to an elderly butler who had broad shoulders, white hair, an immaculate beard, sharp eyes and visible wrinkles on his face, "Thank you for sending the things that I have requested on such short notice, Sebas." A former pro-hero who had the ability to transform into a humanoid dragon, Sebas had served the Yaoyorozu family as their head butler for years.

Smiling gently at the girl who was like a granddaughter to him, Sebas said, "It is no trouble at all, Young Miss. In fact, the maids and I were all too happy to help you."

"Will you be staying for the party later today?" asked Momo.

"I'm afraid not, Young Miss. Your parents may be away for business at the moment but I must attend to my duties at the family mansion," replied Sebas.

"I understand. Please send my regards to the other back home," said Momo.

Sebas bowed courteously while replying, "Of course, Young Miss. I am sure your party will be a great success."

After Sebas left the dorm, Momo turned around and realised that her classmates were staring at her and the small pile of cooking implements and ingredients which she had requested the day before. Izuku could not help but ask in awe, "That's the retired pro-hero from Britain, Dragon Knight, and he's your butler?"

Momo blushed slightly as she replied, "Yes, he is. To be honest though, he's more like a grandfather to me than a butler even though he insists on being professional even when my parents are not around."

"Just how rich is your family?" asked Ochako who was honestly a bit afraid to find out. While everyone in Class 1A realised that Momo came from a rich family, having a retired pro-hero, from another country no less, as a butler was something else entirely.

"Well, my family is well-off enough to have our own private island which we often visit during the summer holidays," replied Momo who replied bashfully.

"Ah, so her family is ridiculously rich then," thought Momo's classmates while Ochako looked like she was ready to faint. Even Wankuro instinctively understood that Momo's standard of living was far above her own living standards as a member of Izuku's family.

--Later that evening…--

Tenya smiled as he greeted his elder brother, Tensei, "I'm glad that you can spare the time to attend this party, brother!" Standing next to him was Wankuro who wanted to greet the newcomers.

Tensei, who was out of his hero suit, grinned at Tenya and replied, "Considering that my little brother and his friends are having a party to celebrate, I wouldn't want to miss it!"

Taking notice of the other guests Class 1A had invited, Tenya commented, "I see that you're not the only one to arrive at this time."

"Thank you for inviting us over," said Itsuka who bowed thankfully.

Neito huffed haughtily and said, "Not that your party will be all that…" His insult was cut short by a low deep growl from Wankuro which made him shut up in fear. He even hid behind Itsuka who was annoyed by his antics.

"I see that you're not the only one who helps to keep things orderly around here," said Tensei who was amused by Wankuro's action.

Tenya waved his hand dismissively and explained, "No, not exactly. She may stop certain people from doing anything too extreme but she has done her fair share of… less than proper deeds."

Curious, Tensei asked, "Such as?" The students from Class 1B who had arrived were equally curious.

Tenya sighed and, while adjusting his spectacles, listed down a few examples, "Pestering people to play with her, pamper her or give her treats, 'smuggling' Kouda-kun's pet rabbit into the classroom, deliberately leaving shed fur on Bakugou's possessions and dragging Midoriya-kun into the bathroom to take a bath with her. She even ran out of the bathroom naked on a few occasions."

Both Tensei and Itsuka blinked at Tenya in surprise before the girl asked, "Looks like you've your hands full too, huh?" As a class representative herself, Itsuka knew what it was like to try keeping things orderly.

"Indeed, but I honestly can't stay mad at most of my classmates even if I try," replied Tenya who had a rueful smile on his face.

"Sounds like they're more than just classmates to you," said Tensei who was happy to know how much his little brother cared for his classmates. Tenya smiled and nodded to confirm Tensei's statement.

Before long, other people came to the party including Shouta, Hizashi, Sekijirou, Toshinori, Nemuri, Nedzu, the rest of Class 1B, Mei, Hitoshi and even a few family members including Kyouka's parents and Tsuyu's family.

It should be noted that Shouto returned to the dorm with large bags full of packed soba in hand.

--Meanwhile, at Enji's hero agency…--

Enji's right eye twitched in irritation as glared at Shouto's message which basically stated that he had used HIS money to buy a lot of soba for his classmates.

Although the amount of money Shouto had spent was nothing significant when considering the income of the No.2 pro-hero in all of Japan, the fact that Shouto had used his money without his permission was an obvious act of disrespect.

Kamiji Moe, a young woman with large dark eyes, pointed teeth and long flaming green hair, raised an eyebrow and asked Enji, "What's wrong, boss?" As both a pro-heroine and Enji's sidekick, Burnin, Moe was curious about his irritated expression and wondered if it had anything to do with a villain or an incompetent pro-hero.

Enji sighed and grumbled, "It's… a personal matter."

Moe knew that something more was going on but she knew better than to press her own employer for details. The last thing she wanted was to be fired for being too nosy.

--Shortly after all the guests had arrived…--

Izuku grinned as he took out a plate of freshly-baked pizza for everyone else to enjoy. Helping Izuku to take out the baked food were Rikidou who was carrying a baking tray which had pieces of baked chicken inside and Denki who took out a baking dish which had a whole pie inside. The food that they served were soon "demolished" by both their own classmates and the hungry guests who found the food delicious. Wankuro was especially eager to try out the slices of pizza and pie.

Inko took a short break from cooking while Tsuyu and Ochako volunteered to help prepare some pasta for everyone. The fact that Toshinori offered to rub Inko's shoulders so that Izuku could focus on having fun with the others was not lost to anyone, especially Shouto who was beginning to wonder if Izuku was the man's love child. Shouta sighed in aggravation while Nemuri giggled at the budding romance between the two adults.

Due to the large number of people who came to the party, an outdoor barbecue was held with the help of Lunch Rush who was happy to offer his assistance. Shouto used the fire side of his quirk to help Lunch Rush start a barbecue fire while the ice side was used to make some ice to chill the drinks. Shouto also distributed the soba he had bought with Enji's money to the others while making sure that Momo, Tenya, Denki, Wankuro and Izuku had their share. When Izuku and Momo asked Shouto about his day, all he did was smile gently and reply, "It was a pleasant meeting." Both Izuku and Momo smiled in return as they knew that Shouto was able to patch things up with his mother.

Momo helped to prepare tea while Kyouka played her guitar and sang a song to entertain the guests. Kyouka's parents, a blond man with triangular eyes named Jirou Kyoutoku and a bespectacled woman with dark-purple hair and plug-like earphone jacks hanging from her earlobes named Jirou Mika were all too happy to play their own musical instruments together with their daughter. Mina grinned happily as she showed off her dance moves in sync with the music played by the Jirou family. Unable to resist showing off a "dazzling performance", Yuuga also took part in the dance together with Mina. While Mina and Yuuga were dancing, Tooru was busy recording the performance with her camera.

Once Momo was done preparing the tea, she volunteered to play the electric piano together with Kyouka and her parents. Due to her upbringing which included taking piano lessons, she was able play in harmony with Kyouka and her parents.

Kouji was blushing shyly while the girls of Class 1B and Class 1A fawned over his pet rabbit, Yuwai-chan, whenever they could. Used to being fawned over by humans, partly due to Wankuro constantly taking it out of the dorms with increasingly creative methods, the rabbit was content to let the girls pet and hug it while it nibbled on a fresh piece of carrot.

Shouta still had no idea how Wankuro was able to hide Yuwai-chan in her school uniform without anyone in school noticing until the rabbit literally popped out of her shirt in a manner similar to a fictional species of aliens known as Xenomorphs. Shouta suspected it had to do with the fact that Wankuro was wearing bandages instead of her usual sports bra at the time but he honestly did not want to think too much about it.

As far as games were concerned, Eijirou and Hanta played a card game with Tetsutetsu, Mr Uraraka, Yousetsu and Juuzou while Mashirao and Fumikage played 'Monopoly: Pro-Hero Edition' with Shihai and Juurouta. Setsuna was "banned" from playing Twister due to her ability to split herself into separate independent pieces while Reiko was "banned" from playing Jenga due to her ability to manipulate objects including Jenga blocks.

Yes, the two girls had used their quirks to cheat and Shouta found the idea of keeping their quirks in check too annoying to even bother. He was already forcing himself to accept the reality that Emi had offered to take Hitoshi as a hero-intern in spite of being a teacher from a different hero-school. Shouta just knew that she would find a way to get him involved with Hitoshi's internship and Nedzu would do the very opposite of discouraging her from doing so.

Wankuro was happily playing snakes and ladders with Pony and Tsuyu's two younger siblings, a girl with large eyes, dark-green hair and pouty face which made her resemble a tadpole named Asui Satsuki and a boy with black hair, pink blush marks on his cheeks, half-closed eyes and a frog-like appearance named Asui Samidare. Tsuyu's parents, a stocky toad-like man with short black hair named Asui Ganma and a woman with long dark hair, pink blush-marks on her cheeks, spaced-out eyes, a small nose and a wide mouth which gave her a frog-like appearance named Asui Beru , were smiling happily as they watched their younger children play with Pony and Wankuro while socialising with Mrs Uraraka.

Mineta was assigned to dish-washing duty with Tenya and Mezou taking turns to keep watch over him as his "overseers". The last thing Class 1A wanted was a scandal cause by the perverted boy doing something inappropriate. Needless to say, Mineta grumbled bitterly as he washed the dishes.

Katsuki, who honestly did not want to take part in the party, was forced to join in due to his parents who had come to the dorm without his knowledge and "insisted" that he took part in it. Everyone agreed that Katsuki got his looks and his temper from his mother, a young-looking woman with spiky ash-blond hair and sharp red eyes named Bakugou Mitsuki. As for the father, a bespectacled man with spiky brown hair, a small moustache named Bakugou Masaru, it was clear that he was a lot calmer in temperament compared to his wife and son.

Although Izuku disliked Katsuki, he had no quarrel with Mitsuki and Masaru especially after they expressed their sincere condolences for Wankuro's disappearance and disapproval of Katsuki behaviour towards Izuku. It was therefore not surprising that Inko happily invited Katsuki's parents to the party as she and Mistuki were still best friends in spite of the antagonistic relationship between Izuku and Katsuki. Even Toshinori had to wonder how such a situation was possible.

Seeing Katsuki getting the back of his head smacked by Mitsuki who was not taking any nonsense from him was a sight which made Hitoshi and Neito grin smugly. Even Izuku chuckled at Katsuki's admittedly comical expense. Izuku and Wankuro also found it amusing when Kousei and Denki thought that Mitsuki was Katsuki's elder sister due to her quirk which allowed her to remain youthful-looking in spite of her actual physical age.

Mei, who usually preferred to stay at home to build and upgrade her "babies", could not resist the temptations of free food and the chance to advertise her inventions so she happily joined the party. Not surprisingly, she wasted no time in discussing about what she could make for the students of each class while eating a lot more food than what people had expected from her admittedly mature-looking build. When asked how she could eat so much, her explanation was that her "genius brain" needed a lot of calories to work and there were times when she forgot to eat her meals or even sleep.

Tensei, Nedzu, Nemuri, Hizashi and Sekijirou went to a quieter corner of the common area to discuss about the internship offers for the students. It was already a given than Izuku and Wankuro would be given a lot of offers but the four pro-heroes agreed that it would be best to have the two stay together until they were more confident of Wankuro's ability to act on her own or with other people.

--After everyone had their fill of delicious food…--

"All right, listeners, it's now time for the karaoke session!" announced Hizashi who felt privileged to listen to the music played by Momo and the Jirou family. Basically everyone agreed that Kyouka was very good at singing and playing her guitar. Even Neito begrudgingly admitted that Kyouka was talented. "So, who wants to start first?" asked Hizashi.

Wankuro's tail was wagging happily as she eagerly stepped onto the stage so that she could sing. As Wankuro accepted the microphone from Hizashi, Katsuki grimaced and closed his ears as he groaned, "Ah, fuck my shitty luck today."

Surprised by Katsuki's reaction to seeing Wankuro on the stage, Eijirou turned his attention to Izuku and asked, "Any idea why he's covering his ears?"

Izuku scratched the back of his head and admitted, "I think I have an idea, but I can't seem to remember what it is."

"Knowing you, it's probably not all that important then," said Eijirou just before Wankuro took a deep breath and started to sing.

One of the kinder ways to describe Wankuro's singing was to say that she sounded like a dog while singing. Almost everyone was mortified by her awful singing which made even Tsuyu and her family visibly grimace.

As soon as Izuku heard Wankuro singing, he chuckled sheepishly and spoke to Eijirou, "Okay, now I remember what it was." Izuku could say many good things about Wankuro but even he had to agree with Katsuki that Wankuro was terrible at singing even before she went missing.

"How in the world did you actually forget about that?!" asked Ochako who could not believe that Izuku could forget such an important detail about Wankuro.

"Oh, Lord in Heaven, please grant us salvation from this unholy cacophony…!" moaned Ibara who was half-tempted to just take Wankuro off the stage with her quirk.

"That is the song of madness darker than black…" said Fumikage. Dark Shadow was covering his ears while keeping his eyes shut as though he had been hit by an exploding flash grenade.

"A disharmonious symphony which should never step into the bedazzling light of day," agreed Yuuga.

"I hope she'll never try to become an idol pro-heroine, shroom!" groaned Kinoko who wanted to be an idol pro-heroine.

"I'm so glad I can send my ears as far away from here as possible," said Setsuna who had detached her ears from her head and sent them flying away.

Yui, who noticed Setsuna's missing ears, glared at her enviously and muttered, "Lucky bitch…!"

Kyouka looked visibly ill from Wankuro's terrible singing as she thought to herself, "Mistakes have been made!" Mika looked equally ill from the awful singing.

Manga did not say anything but his speech bubble head was wobbly and showed a few misshaped musical notes.

Shouta turned his attention to Nedzu and asked, "How many idol pro-heroes are interested in having her as a member?"

"Thankfully, not that many," replied Nedzu who took a sip of the delicious tea Momo and made for him before he added, "Though I must agree with you that having her sing on stage for any future events will be a VERY bad idea." It was not often that Nedzu had been caught off guard and the current situation was one of them.

By the time Wankuro was done singing, she realised that everyone looked unwell. She blushed and asked, "I sing bad?"

"That's putting it small," said Pony who was still not very fluent in Japanese.

"Actually, you should say, 'midly' instead of 'small' Pony," corrected Itsuka.

Kyouka held onto Wankuro's shoulders and begged, "Please, for the love of all things good in music, don't ever sing again!"

Thankfully, only Mineta sang anywhere nearly as badly was Wankuro while the rest who wanted to sing karaoke were passable if not reasonably good singers of specific genres. Some notable singers included Yuuga who could sing an opera song with a falsetto voice, Eijirou and Tetsutetsu who could sing a classical Japanese fisherman's song together in near-perfect sync, Ibara who was unsurprisingly skilled as a gospel singer, Reiko who was skilled in singing haunting Gothic songs and Pony who could sing both American country music and Japanese anime theme songs with equal skill.

"So, is there anyone else who wants to sing?" asked Hizashi who had managed to get his groove as a radio host back on after Wankuro's disastrous performance.

Mina and Tooru grinned at one another before they pushed Izuku and Ochako onto the stage. Before Izuku and Ochako could say anything, Mina said, "We want those two to sing a romantic duet for us!"

"W-what?!" yelled Izuku and Ochako.

"Oh? What romantic song do you have in mind then?" asked Hizashi who quickly caught on with what Mina and Tooru wanted to do.

"How about… this one?!" said Tooru who excitedly pointed at the Japanese version of a song titled 'I See The Light'. The song came from a pre-quirk animated movie called 'Tangled'.

Hizashi grinned in agreement with Tooru's choice and said, "Nice choice, listener!" He then selected the song and gave a microphone to Izuku and Ochako each. Both students were blushing to the point that their faces seemed to be glowing pink with steam coming out of their ears.

"Come on, you can do this, Izu-aniki!" said Eijirou.

"Just forget about everyone else and focus on Izuku!" said Mrs Uraraka.

"Sing your heart!" said Wankuro.

Izuku turned his attention towards Ochako and asked, "So… should we sing?"

Ochako looked downward and bashfully replied, "W-we might as well. Plus Ultra, right?"

"Yeah, Plus Ultra," agreed Izuku who grinned in spite of the embarrassing situation. He then turned his attention to Hizashi and asked, "Can we sing a different song?"

Not expecting Izuku's request, Hizashi raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure, but which song do you have in mind?" Izuku blushed sheepishly and whispered into Hizashi's ear. Hizashi's widened in surprise as he had to say, "You sure? That's not a duet song."

Izuku nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sure."

Hizashi shrugged with a grin and said, "Well, just make sure Uraraka-chan knows what to do."

"I will," replied Izuku who then took out a note and showed it to Ochako to explain how to sing the song."

"I wonder what Midoriya-shounen is planning," wondered Toshinori.

Inko smiled as she answered, "Knowing him, it's probably one of the pre-quirk songs he often listens to to keep his spirits up."

"Oh, and what song do you think he will be singing?" asked Nemuri.

"You'll all find out soon enough," replied Inko whose smile was rather impish.

"So, you think you can handle these parts?" asked Izuku after showing Ochako the lyrics of the song he wanted to sing together with her.

"I think so," replied Ochako who then worriedly asked, "But what if I mess up my parts?"

"It's the first time we're singing together so of course we'll be making mistakes here and there. What matters is we give it our best and have fun at the same time," said Izuku.

Heartened by his encouragement, Ochako smiled in return and said, "Then let's do this!"

Once Hizashi saw Izuku's thumb's up, he knew what to do, "All right, listeners, here's a duet version of Brave Heart from the pre-quirk animated series, Digimon!"

--Start of song (Original Japanese lyrics translated to English)…--

Izuku: If given a second, anyone can give up and run,

Izuku: So just keep on walking,

Ochako: There's something only you can do,

Ochako: So that this blue planet doesn't lose it's light,

Both: Seize the dreams you had!

Both: Protect your beloved friends!

Izuku: You can become stronger,

Both: Unknown power dwells in your heart, when its fire is lit,

Ochako: Any wish, it's true,

Ochako: Will surely be granted… show me your brave heart,

Izuku: Not every day is sunny, so sometimes,

Izuku: Even though a cold rain is falling, just open your umbrella,

Ochako: There's no map of how to live, that's why we're free,

Ochako: You can go anywhere,

Both: Run faster than the wind!

Both: Aim farther than the skies!

Izuku: You can meet a new you,

Both: Unknown courage sleeps in your heart, and when you realize,

Ochako: The downpour in your heart,

Ochako: Will surely stop… show me your brave heart,

Ochako: You can become stronger,

Both: Break that weak self!

Both: Destroy the walls blocking you!

Izuku: The warm beat of your heart will be your weapon,

Ochako: Believe in your heart!

--End of song…--

After Ochako and Izku sang, they took a look at the shocked faces of their audience and wondered if they had somehow made a mess of the song. Their fears were soon replaced by amazement when the majority of the crowd started the applause while Eijirou and Tetsutetsu wept and spoke unison, "That's to beautifully manly!"

Wankuro ran up the stage and happily hugged both Izuku and Ochako at the same time, causing all three of them to fall down in a comical heap. Although surprised by the positive response, Izuku and Ochako looked at one another before they blushed and laughed happily together.

"Holy crap! Is this really their first duet?" asked Setsuna who could not believe what she had just listened to.

"Those two would make a really good idol duet, shroom!" said Kinoko.

"I love that anime song!" said Pony who was happy to know that Izuku had at least some interest in anime songs. As a fan of anime, she was unsurprisingly interested in anime soundtracks as well.

Kyouka rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "Yamada-sensei said that the song is a duet version. That means that it's originally a single."

"I'm surprised that they have managed sing together so well on their first try," said Momo who found their performance amazing.

"That boy must be very familiar with the song to know how to convert it into a good duet," said Kyoutoku who was mimicking Kyouka's chin-rubbing.

"He's a boy of many talents, it seems," said Mika who could not help but smile as he thought about how she often sang duets with her own husband.

Mina grinned as she spoke her thoughts aloud, "Not my first choice for a duet, but they sure know how to make it work!"

Tooru, who had happily recorded the whole song, said, "I'm SO sharing this one to everyone in class!"

Tsuyu was smiling happily when her father sighed and spoke to her, "I can see now why you wish to try having a relationship with that boy in spite of the fact that he already has at least one girlfriend." Ganma was not too keen on the idea of Tsuyu trying to have a romantic relationship with Izuku who already had Ochako and Wankuro but he currently understood why she saw him as a good mate. As a person with amphibian features himself, he knew that Tsuyu was instinctively drawn to Izuku because she saw him as a desirable mate who was also a trustworthy friend. Also, no woman with frog or toad features could resist a good singer. That was how he managed to woo his own wife after all.

Beru smiled at Tsuyu and said, "If you need any advice, I'll be more than happy to help you, Tsuyu." Tsuyu blushed and looked away from her own parents who were embarrassing her. Samidare smirked at his elder sister while Satsuki tilted her head curiously.

Inko wiped away a happy tear as she spoke, "I can't wait to see Izuku and Ochako-chan get married one day!"

Toshinori chuckled as he spoke, "If all goes well, he'll have much better luck with the ladies than I ever did." Although Toshinori was undoubtedly popular with the ladies as All Might, he never formed a true romantic connection with any of his female fans or even pro-heroines. In fact, Inko was probably the first woman whom he truly felt romantically interested in. So far, he had plenty of reasons to finally ask Inko out for a date.

Smiling at the man whom she knew was not only All Might but was also responsible for helping her son finally have a quirk to call his own, Inko held his skeletal hand gently and said, "I'm truly glad that you came into our lives, Toshinori."

Inko's radiantly warm and gentle smile made Toshinori blush as his heart skipped a beat. He quickly averted his eyes from her smile and thought, "That's it, I'm going to ask her out on a date while Midoriya-shounen and Midoriya-shoujo are doing their internships! I just hope that they will not kill me for dating their mother."

Mrs Uraraka smiled as she asked her husband, "So, should we start planning for when those two get married and have kids, dear?"

Mr Uraraka grinned and replied, "Most certainly!"

"Guys, I think I speak for all of us when I say that Midoriya's going to have a LOT of girls going after him at this rate," said Minoru.

"You think?" asked Kousei who had a deadpan expression on his face. As a "fellow appreciator of sensual feminine figures", he quickly bonded with Minoru, Denki and Hanta.

"He already has Midori-chan, Uraraka and even Asui," said Hanta.

"Our only hope is that Midoriya decides to keep his harem small," said Denki who slumped his shoulders in comical despair.

The party wore on and everyone soon realised that Izuku was hopeless with most musical instruments while Wankuro was surprisingly skilled as a hand drummer. Other skilled musicians included Fumikage and Denki who knew how to play the guitar, Katsuki who was actually a very skilled drummer and Ibara who knew how to play the harp. It should be noted that Kyouka did not have a harp so Momo had to make one for Ibara. The large wooden harp would later be left in the common room of the dorm as a "decoration" of sorts.

--Later that night…--

It was time for the guests to return home. Some of the students from Class 1A, including Tsuyu, Kyouka, Tenya and Momo, wished to return home to spend time with their families while others such as Katsuki opted to stay in the dorm instead. Izuku, who had basically moved into the dorm with his mother, obviously stayed there.

Although completely exhausted, especially after the inevitable clean up, Izuku could not help but smile as the last time he had even half as much fun was when Wankuro was still a part of his life. Speaking of Wankuro, she was happily sleeping with her head on his chest. Izuku gently patted her head as he thought, "I'm truly glad to have so many new friends and to have her back in my life."

Izuku was about to fall asleep when he heard someone speak to him from outside his room, "Can I come in, Deku?"

Recognising the voice to be Ochako's, Izuku replied, "Of course you can, Ochako-chan."

Ochako entered Izuku's room with a small smile on her face and quickly made herself comfortable by sleeping next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "That's one heck of a party, huh?"

"Yeah, it sure was," agreed Izuku who was already comfortable with being innocently intimate with Ochako.

"I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the party," said Ochako who was starting to sound sleepy.

Izuku gazed into her sleepy eyes and asked, "Even Bakugou and Monoma?"

Ochako giggled and replied, "Well… maybe not those two but even they had some fun at least, right?"

"True enough," replied Izuku as he recalled Bakugou smirking triumphantly after showing off his admittedly excellent drumming skills and Monoma happily mocking Mineta and Denki for losing to him in board game.

"My parents really like you. We should visit them together one day," said Ochako.

"I'm sure that Wan-chan will love to come along too," said Izuku.

"Oh, most… definitely…" said Ochako just before she fell asleep.

Realising that Ochako was asleep, Izuku allowed his exhaustion to finally claim him as he fell into a dreamless sleep while in the arms of two girls whom he loved dearly…

--The following day…--

It was the last day of break for Class 1A before they had to return to their lessons. Most of the students decided to stay at the dorm to relax while watching the third years' events of the U.A. Sports Festival. Not surprisingly, Izuku wanted to watch the events together with Wankuro, Ochako and Inko. Both Ochako and Wankuro wasted no time in getting comfortable with Izuku while seated together on the same couch.

Others, such as Shouto, had other plans for that day:

Shouto wanted to return home to talk to his elder sister and elder brother about his recent conversation with their mother, preferably without Enji around to tell them what to do, and then return back to the dorm.

Kouji decided to visit his parents, and play with the various family pets, before he had to return back to school.

Mina and Eijirou planned to hang out with their new friends from Class 1B, Setsuna and Tetsutetsu respectively. Eijirou tried to invite Katsuki but the explosive blond boy rudely refused as he wanted to continue training.

Tooru wanted to follow Mina and Eijirou but she missed her parents so she decided to return home instead to visit them instead.

Before long, the day was over and all of the students managed to safely return back to the dorm before curfew. The day ended peacefully for everyone in Class 1A.

--End Chapter--

Author's Notes:

This chapter was intended to be shorter than usual but it ended up being almost as long as the previous chapters.

Yes, I used a character from Overlord (Sebas) as a character in this story who has the ability to transform into a humanoid dragon and is a retired pro-hero who is now a butler of Momo's family.

I couldn't resist making Wankuro a terrible singer who sings like a dog and have Izuku and Ochako sing a duet. Originally I wanted them to sing a love song but I decided to have them sing Brave Heart from Digimon instead as I felt it to be more fitting for the two hero-students, especially Izuku.

Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
