Hey guys Goku here. This is something that has been on my mind for a while and I've finally decided to put to paper, or docs if you will. I know I have other stories that you are all waiting for me to update, and I promise you that I haven't abandoned them, it's just that I haven't had any motivation for writing them. This story however has always been on my mind since I am constantly listening to music so the idea always creeps into my head. There isn't one set inspiration for this, just all of the "Izuku makes music" stories that I have read. I have no set time for this story to take place, only that it takes place sometime after the cultural festival. One last thing I promise, I do not own MHA or any of the songs I use in this story. Ok without further ado let's get on to the story.
It was an early morning in the Class 1-A dorms. Everyone was up already and either chilling out or making breakfast. It was a Saturday and classes were canceled for the day so everyone was relaxing, but there seemed to be something missing.
"Hey where's Deku?" Uraraka asked.
"Maybe he's out on his morning run kero," Tsu suggested.
"I do not believe so. Midoriya and I usually run together in the morning and we finished up a few hours ago, so I highly doubt that he would go out for another one." Iida responded.
"Maybe he's in his room. I'll go check," Mina said, running off before anyone could say anything. She got out of the elevator and walked towards Midoriya's room. When she got there she knocked a bit before calling out. "Midori, are you in there?" She waited a bit but there was no response. "Hello? Midori?" Once again no response. She turned the doorknob to find that it was unlocked. Curious and slightly worried, Mina opened the door to make sure he was ok. When she opened it she found that the room was empty. With a bit of panic, Mina looked around the room for any clue of what happened to Midoriya. Her eyes drifted towards a piece of paper on the ground that must have fallen off his desk. She bent down to pick it up and read it to herself.
"Off to train with All Might for a few days, don't worry the school already knows about it."
-Izuku Midoriya
"Ok that makes sense why he isn't here." Mina said to herself. She put the note back on his desk and went to tell the others, but something else on the desk caught her eye. It was a silver disc that had 'Track 3, Case 2' written on it. "Why does Midori have a disc in his room? He listens to music on his phone so why would he need a disc, and why does it say Track 3, Case 2 on it." She wondered to herself. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, she searched his room for more discs and eventually she found two cases full of discs that had different names on them. Getting excited Mina grabbed both cases and hurried back downstairs to show the others what she found.
When Mina arrived back in the common area, everyone was wondering what the things were that Mina was carrying.
"Hey Mina, did you find out where Deku is, and what's with those cases?" Uraraka asked with a puzzled look.
"Well he wasn't in his room and I got a little worried so I opened the door and found a note saying that he was training with All Might for a few days, but then I found a disc that said Track 3, Case 2 and was curious if there were more and I found these two cases full of discs."
"Ashido-san It is a violation of privacy to go snooping through Midoriya's room. I demand that you put those away this instant." The class president spoke while furiously chopping his hand in the air.
"Oh come on prez aren't you a little curious about what Midori is hiding on these discs?" The pink skinned girl replied. Everyone except Bakugou agreed that they were a little curious about what was on them, especially Jiro who wondered if it was music related.
"Yeah come on Iida, Deku never told us about these before so let's find out." Uraraka said beaming with energy.
Iida opened his mouth like he was going to say something but then stopped himself and silently nodded his head.
Everyone gathered around the TV and Momo made a disc player that hooked up to the TV. With everyone situated Mina walked up and put the disc she found into the player. "Let's start with this one since it's the first one I found."
Everyone nodded as she hit play.
The TV lit up and on it appeared an image of Midoriya looking at the camera while holding a green guitar.
"Woah, since when can Mido-bro play guitar?" Kirishima asked, but was cut off as Midoriya started speaking.
"This is a song called New Perspective." He said as he started strumming on his guitar.
"Damn that riff is nice." Denki said as he was shushed by the people trying to listen.
I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire
Because I know they'll never win
There's a haze above my TV
That changes everything I see
And maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me
Can we fast-forward to go down on me?
"Holy shit, Midoriya can sing!?" Jiro shouted in surprise. Everyone was just as surprised as she was but stayed quiet wanting to listen to him more.
Stop there, and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares, divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up, I'm getting out of here
"What do you think he's talking about?" Momo asked.
"I don't know kero. Let's keep listening." Tsu replied.
Taking everything for granted, but we still respect the time
We move along with some new passion knowing everything is fine
And I would wait and watch the hours fall in a hundred separate lines
But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside
Can we fast-forward 'til you go down on me?
Stop there, and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares, divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up, I'm getting out of here
Catch me up, I'm getting out of here
More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go, oh
"Whatever it is, Midoriya is really heated about it." Sato said.
"And what did he mean by 'inching through your bed'?" Ojiro asked.
"I hope it's not what I think it means." Momo responded.
Stop there, and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
Who cares, divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up, I'm getting out of here
It's not fair, just let me perfect it
Don't wanna live a life that is comprehensive
'Cause seeing clear would be a bad idea
Now catch me up, I'm getting out of here
So catch me up, I'm getting out of here
Now, can you go down on me?
Can we fast-forward 'til you go down...?
With that the video ended and everyone thought about what they had just listened to. "I think I got it." Mina said. "I think Midori is talking about an experience where he was dating a girl but she only dated him because he kept fueling her ego with compliments and left once he realized it."
"That would make sense, but you don't think Deku and her 'did' anything based on the lyrics do you?" Uraraka asked with a slight blush.
"I don't know, Bakugo, do you know anything." Mina turned to the explosive blonde who was standing there grimacing.
"Of course the nerd never did anything, he would pass out at the thought of something like that. Plus the girl wasn't attracted to him anyway she was just seeking attention that Deku gave her," he responded.
"Wait you knew? Did you know about his singing too?" Denki asked.
"Of course I knew. The damn nerd never shut up about it."
"Why did you never say anything?" Jiro asked.
"Why would I care enough to tell any of you extras about what the nerd does in his free time." Everyone sighed, they should have expected an answer like that to come out of Bakugo.
"Well that was a unique experience, why don't we see what other songs Midoriya has written. I'll create a wheel that has all of our names on it so we can pick one of the disks at random." Momo said sprouting out a wheel that had the names of all the people in Class 1-A minus Midoriya on it. She spun it and it landed on Sero.
"Well looks like I'm up, let's see what he's got." Sero said going to Case 1 and pulling out Track 5. He then put it in the player pressed play and sat back down. The image came up again but this time instead of his room Izuku appeared to be in some sort of hotel like room.
"This song is called Cross My Heart and it goes to the one person in 1-A I miss whenever I leave." He said as he began strumming his guitar again.
"Oh damn this riff is great too." Kirishima said, banging his head to the beat.
"His guitar skills are pretty good. I wonder if he only does rock though." Jiro questioned as she too started nodding to the beat.
"The nerd does all sorts of variety with his music, he just has a preference for rock." Bakugou answered. As much as he hated to admit it, the nerds stuff was pretty good.
So here's another day I'll spend away from you
Another night I'm on another broken avenue
My bag is ripped and worn
Then again, now so am I
Take what you want to take
What you want to take, what you..
I miss the stupid things
We go to sleep and then
You wake me up and kick me out of bed at 3 am
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me
Do what you want to do
What you want to do, what you
"Oh how cute Midori really loves someone doesn't he." Mina squealed.
"But didn't he say it was one of us, and what about the things he said about sleeping and dirty things kero? Is anyone dating Midoriya?" Tsu said. All the girls shook their heads.
"I don't think Midoriya means anything by it. As a songwriter when you put your feelings down, you tend to exaggerate a bit to help with the rhythm and flow of the lyrics with the beat. So he probably likes one of us and is saying the things he wishes to happen when he returns from any of his trips." Jiro explained. Everyone nodded and continued listening to the song.
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you 'till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and hope to
Hotels are all the same
You're still away from me
Another day, another dollar that I'll never see
Can I get a piece, a piece, a piece of something good?
I'd like just a little
Like just a little, like just a (just a)
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you doubt it (doubt it)
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it (so long)
Now I know where I go
I'm coming back to you
I'll be where I outta be
Where I outta be, where I
Take me with you I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you 'till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
The beat started to drop and the people in the room excluding Bakugou started clapping along to the beat.
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't want to be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you, to you 'till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you 'till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you 'till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you (cross my heart)
I will run to you, to you 'till I (hope to die)
Can't stand on my own anymore (hope to die)
I cross my heart and hope to die
The music stopped and Izuku smiled at the camera as the video cut out.
"Midoriya must really have it bad for someone." Sero said.
"Mido-bro is so manly expressing his feelings like that." Kirishima added.
"I wonder who Midoriya is interested in." Todoroki asked.
While the guys were talking all of the girls held a tiny blush and in their minds they all said the same thing. 'I hope he's talking about me'
"Hey Bakugou do you know who Midoriya likes?" Denki asked.
"Hmph of course I know, but I won't say anything. The damn nerd needs to deal with his own damn problems. All I'll say is that it could be any of you extras." Bakugou said, pointing to the girls.
"What do you mean?" Uraraka asked.
"The nerd has had a thing for each one of you and the girls in 1-B as well, but there is one that he has it bad for. I'm sure you'll find some songs about you if you keep going through the nerd's shit." Bakugou answered with a grunt.
"Well I guess we should keep going then." Momo said composed, but she couldn't lie that she hoped she was the one he liked the most. All of the girls had grown fond of the green cinnamon roll, but they all knew that Uraraka had a thing for him so they kept their distance. Knowing that he liked one of them back made things a bit more complicated. Shaking her head of any more thoughts, Momo spun the wheel and it landed on Mina.
"Oooh me again!" She exclaimed as she skipped to case 2 and pulled out the disc that read Track 9, Case 2. She skipped over to the player and hit play then went back to her seat.
The video appeared again and Deku once again was in his room holding his guitar but this time he also held a mic stand. "This song is for the classy girl of 1-A." He spoke as all eyes in the room turned to the vice president.
The girl in question looked confused. "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Girl do you seriously not know who he's talking about?" Mina replied.
"Well he could be talking about any of us?" Momo answered.
"Your bed takes up your entire room and you live in a mansion." Uraraka pointed.
"Oh well I guess you're right," Momo says, slowly gaining a blush. "Why don't we just listen to the song." Everyone nodded while Mina was smirking and Uraraka was slightly glaring at Momo
Hey where's the drums.
Drums started playing and Kirishima pointed out, "Wait, who's playing the drums?" Everyone slowly turned their heads to look at Bakugou.
"What? The nerd owes me several favors." Everyone then slowly turns back to screen.
Woo ooh ooh
Let's go
Woo girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never goin' out of style
Woo pretty baby
This world might have gone crazy
The way you saved me, who could blame me
When I just wanna make you smile
I wanna thrill ya like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye, like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
"Oh wow I'm surprised that Midoriya knows about people like Marvin Gaye and Hathaway." Momo stated.
"Well of course, Midoriya has always been well met in his studies so it makes sense that Midoriya would know certain prominent figures in history." Iida said furiously chopping the air.
"Can we just get back to the song please." Jiro said, slightly annoyed.
You're over my head, I'm out of my mind
Thinkin' I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, livin' in a world gone plastic
Baby, you're so classic (Yeah yeah)
(Gone plastic)
Baby, you're so classic (Yeah yeah)
Baby you
Baby, you're so classic
Four thousand roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doin' it Sinatra style
I'ma pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman, bringin' glamour back
Keep it real to real in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle
"Damn since when did Midori get so smooth?" Mina said.
"Does he really have a Cadillac?" Denki asked.
"No he has a Mustang." Bakugou suddenly interjected.
"HE HAS A CAR!?" The entire rest of 1-A yelled.
"It's with his dad in the states." Bakugou answered.
"Why is it over there?" Sero asked.
"Cause his dad's a deadbeat who abandoned his son but tries to make up for it by sending him and his mom money and by buying shitty Deku things. The nerd accepts them but still hates his father for not being around."
"So Midoriya also hates his father." Todoroki responded with a monotone expression. Everyone just looked at him and decided to go back to listening to the song.
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye, like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
You're over my head, I'm out of my mind
Thinkin' I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind, everything is so throwback-ish
I kinda like it, like it
Out of my league, old school chic
Like a moviestar from a silver screen
You're one of a kind, livin' in a world gone plastic
Baby, you're so classic (Yeah yeah)
Baby, you're so classic (Yeah yeah)
Baby, you're so classic
Baby you're class, and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever 'til we met
A star in the 40's, centerfold in the 50's
You got me trippin' out like the 60's, hippies
Queen of the discotheque
A 70's dream with an 80's vest
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massive
Girl, you're timeless
Just so classic
"Midoriya can rap as well?" Denki asked.
"You'd be surprised at things the nerd can do."
You're over my head, I'm out of my mind
Thinkin' I was born in the wrong time
It's not a rewind, everything is so throwback-ish
I kinda like it, like it
Out of my league, old school chic
Like a moviestar from a silver screen
You're one of a kind, livin' in a world gone plastic
Baby, you're so classic (Whoa oh)
Baby, you're so classic (Yeah yeah)
Baby, you're so classic
Ooh, classic
"Oh that was so sweet! You think Yaomomo is Midoriya's secret love?" Hagakare asked cheerfully.
"I don't know, the song is sweet but Midoriya doesn't have that same tone in his voice in this song as he did in the other one. Sorry Momo, but I think we can take you off the list of candidates." Jiro explained. Momo felt a bit sad that it wasn't her but also relieved that she wouldn't need to have to face the wrath of Uraraka.
"Well we finally watched a specific song about someone. Let's see if we can get more information about who Midoriya likes through the rest of his songs kero." Tsu said. Momo nodded and spun the wheel again.
"Hey I'm up now." Sato said as he walked up to the first case and pulled out a disc that read Track 8, Case 1. Sato put the disc into the machine then sat down with the others again.
This time when the video came on Midoriya was shown at his desk beginning to write something as the music picked up.
I didn't think these memories
I'm writing down could put my mind at ease
Oh but I'll write until my fingers bleed
And keep them safe so no one else can see
"Wait a minute. It's kinda hard to see but is Midoriya writing the lyrics that he's singing?" Jiro pointed out.
"Oh my god he's writing a love letter!" Mina squealed. "But about who?"
"Maybe we'll find out if we keep watching." Uraraka said, while in the back of her mind she said 'please let it be me'.
Cause if you can't stay, I'll write away
I can write until I see your face
Maybe these letters can connect us
Resurrect the hope inside
Form the words that will reverse the time
And bring us back to life
And I wish that you could see
Oh what you do to me
And I hope this letter covers everything
I'm yours, sincerely me
"Wow Midoriya cares deeply for whoever this is." Sero said.
"It's so manly to express your feelings like this." Kirishima said with a few tears in his eyes.
"I'm really curious who it is now." Kaminari said.
"Secrecy is a darkness that plagues the soul." Tokoyami replied.
"SHUT UP!" Jiro yelled, wanting to listen to the song.
I didn't think this pen and ink
Would take your place and keep me company
Oh but I'll write until my fingers bleed
If that is what will bring you home to me
Cause if you can't stay, I'll write away
I can write until I can see your face
Maybe these letters will connect us
Resurrect the hope inside
Form the words that will reverse the time
And bring us back to life
And I wish that you could see
Oh what you do to me
And I hope this letter covers everything
I'm yours, sincerely me
I'm yours, sincerely me
As the music continued Class 1-A jamming to the song and didn't notice when an orange haired girl walked into their dorm.
And I wish that you could see
(And I wish that you could see)
Oh, what you do to me
(Oh, what you do to me)
And I hope this letter covers everything
(Oh)
I'm yours, sincerely me
I'm yours, sincerely me
I'm yours, sincerely me
As the song was finishing, Midoriya stopped writing and put the letter into an envelope which he sealed and got up and left the view of the camera. All that could be seen was the letter that was left on the desk with the words "Kyoka" written on it as the video and the music stopped.
Everyone turned towards the punk rocker of 1-A who was currently blushing with her jacks going haywire.
"KYOKA! Midori is in love with you?!" Mina screamed. "Why didn't you tell me!"
"I-I-It's n-not like I knew about it!" She stuttered, cutely tapping her jacks together blushing even more than before.
"Well we figured out who Midoriya is in love with, the question is… do you like him back?" Momo asked with a slightly teasing tone.
Jiro blushed even harder than before as everyone in 1-A, including Bakugou, looked towards her waiting for her answer. She looked towards Uraraka who seemed to be resonating a menacing aura but then looked back to Momo's comforting smile and calmed down a little bit. "I don't know. I would be lying if I said I hadn't thought of him in that way, but I don't know how I really feel. This is all so sudden."
Everyone seemed to accept her answer and backed off getting ready to listen to the next song until a new voice spoke up behind them.
"Since when can Midoriya sing?"
Hey guys Goku here and I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. Now for the songs I kinda just hit shuffle on my Spotify and then went from there, but that won't always be the case and I have certain songs planned out like the last one in this chapter. The songs I used were:
New Perspective - Panic at the Disco
Cross My Heart - Marianas Trench
Classic - MTKO
Sincerely Me - Artist Vs Poet
Now I have plenty of ideas for songs but I'm not sure what songs I should do for certain characters. If there is a specific song you want me to do for anybody then let me know. Some songs I don't think will work for the context of this story but I plan to make some Omake chapters of one or two songs for the ones that wouldn't work so another reason to make requests. One last thing let me know if you want me to make a youtube playlist for this fic with all of the songs. I'll see you next chapter.
