Gravitational Attraction. (Part I) (Ochako x Izuku/ Emerald Gravity)
Deku walked alongside his mentor towards the teacher's room. None of them talked the whole way until Izuku decided to ask him something. "...How did she react?"
All Might pulled his collar causing it to strain, his expression was nervous. He knew his student would ask him that. "...She, um… Well, to be frank, it is hard to say. She didn't cry or have a heart attack or go on a fit of rage, she just remained eerily calm and asked for you to see her. She gave off a little scary vibe, to be honest…"
Izuku's face turned concerned. "...That can't be good." It was worrisome and unsettling that she didn't react as he would have expected. He was even more nervous than before.
Both mentor and successor stood in front of the door. Izuku stood still, his anxiety rendered him frozen in front of the door. He was scared of what his mother would say or think of his new self...
He felt a hand on his shoulder, he glanced to the side at his mentor. "Just remember, Midoriya-shounen, I will be there right by your side." He said to him with an assuring glint in his eyes.
"Thanks…" The Faunus nodded. "Although… I'd be less nervous if you went in first." He admitted with an anxious shudder.
"My boy, I understand that you are scared, but this is your mother, you must face her first." All Might replied with a serious expression as he put both hands on his shoulders.
"Yeah, you're right…" Deku said in understanding. "But I can tell you're scared too, your legs are shaking…" He pointed out. His mentor was shivering quite a bit, it made him think back when he told him about Gran Torino.
All Might let go of him and hit his chest. "Oh, that! I've been doing my leg presses!" He lied with a sheepish grin.
Izuku deadpanned at him. "Uh-huh." He uttered sarcastically. He knew that while he was right, he's pretty much pushing him in first. But then again, few things are scarier to face than All for One himself, and one of these things is the nearly demonic motherly rage, so he can't blame the skeleton-like man for being as scared as him.
He turned to the door again, he took a deep breath and steeled himself with courage before grabbing the handle and slid open the door.
He saw his mother, Inko, sitting on the couch with her gaze at the window. The boy stepped inside the room with his mentor behind him. Izuku gulped nervously before calling her attention. "Mom."
"Inko-san." Said All Might as he was nervously straining his collar. "What...what a...pleasant fine afternoon it...it..it...say is that a new blouse?"
Deku's mother remained unmoved. Holding a cup of freshly made tea in her hand, she placed her lips around the rim of the cup, slurping it loudly. All the while keeping her unmoving eyes onto the boys.
Izuku and All Might shivered within, certain that they thought they both saw lightning and heard thunder on this beautiful sunny afternoon.
Izuku felt the nudge of All Might's hand to move forward. Chattering teeth and sweaty palms defined Izuku's worst fears. "M-M-Mom…." He took steady breaths. He had to remind himself that this wasn't his fault as it was technically Hatsume-san's. However, she wasn't here to defend herself and she knew that she had been worried about his well-being at this school. He prayed to God that his worst fear of being forced to leave this school wouldn't suffice. However, hell has no fury when dealing with a scorned woman...or worse, a scorned mother!
"Mom...before you become shocked (or incandescent with rage)...I am still your son," he said to her. "Still the very same Icchan you've raised, doted on, loved from the very beginning. J-J-J-Just have an affinity for carrots and my skin is fluffy...and bunny ears?!" He paused when feeling his tail shaking furiously. He turned his back from his mother, trying to look at his cotton ball tail. "Oh, my tail! My bunny tail!" He nervously smiled. "But, your same Icchan nonetheless."
Inko took steady breaths. Keeping her eyes on the boys, she slowly put her tea cup on the table beside her. Wiping any remnants of tea cake crumbs from her clothes, she stood up and steadily approached her son.
Well, Izuku! These sixteen years have been good to me. Of course, there have been things I have yet to accomplish - becoming a Symbol of Peace, receiving my first kiss, finishing the tenth grade, or getting my driver's license. Possibly having my own one hour stand up show. At least it was enjoyable! He shut his eyes, preparing for the wave of a mother's wrath coming onto him. He tightly gripped his fist and prepared for what was coming to him.
"Oh, my! Oh, my! Oh, my!"
'Wait a minute? Where's the yelling, the shouting? The tsunami of tears…' Izuku felt the strongly tight embrace of his mother as she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried him into her bosom.
"Mother of God, I knew you were my adorable Icchan. But, not this adorable." Izuku felt himself lifted off the ground as the surprising brute strength of his mother carried him around the room.
"I want to take you home and make you more adorable," she said happily. "I have so many ideas we can do as mother-and-son." She cooed loudly. "I can make some cute outfits for you. We should buy hay and carrots and make family postcards. No! I know I still have your kindergarten smock…"
"Mom," he said as he was straining from her brute strength. "I am a Faunus! Not six years old!" On one hand, he's glad that she did not flip, but on the other, he doesn't know if this is any better…
It went on deaf ears. Izuku tried to flee, but Inko's strong arms restrained him. There was no way to deny a mother's strength and love to her son. "Where's my cell phone?! I am sending this to your Auntie Mitsuki."
"Please, God, no," cried Izuku.
She cooed again. "Oh! You know who really like this?!" She yelped loudly. "My God, your Auntie Kali! She did say if you were ever a Faunus, you would be a cute bunny rabbit!" Izuku questioned how he was supposedly an Alpha Faunus, but couldn't get off his mother. Once again, the saying was true about the difference between human strength and a mother's love. "Say cheese, Icchan! Peace signs! Peace signs!"
Izuku shuddered when hearing the camera click.
"I am sending this to your Aunt Kali right now."
"No, Mom! No!" He begged her loudly.
"And send!" She stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, baby, but you know how mothers can be."
"Just kill me now, God. Well, at least, she didn't send it to Aunt Mits-"
"Mitsuki is going to love this!"
"Dead!"
All Might softened his expression. It was safe to say that Inko-san was taking it lightly. This was better than he had…
"Ow, ow, ow!" The former Symbol of Peace felt a strong tug coming from his ear. Inko, while still, holding onto Izuku, needed to get something off her chest...ironically!
"You have some nerve to allow some random person to make my Icchan become like this," she said to All Might. "What happened to the promise you made to me that day in my apartment? Was it one of your lies?"
"No," he responded to her. All Might have dealt with bouts with many foes, but the tugging of the ear took the cake. "I made the promise that I would keep your son safe and he is safe, Inko-san!"
"Well...that didn't work out so great," she said while her cheeks were puffed. "As much as I love the idea of a little, pretty, adorable, snuggable, cuddly..." She had to maintain her composure. "He could be like this forever!"
"Inko-san! Your son is still the same! Just modified!" He gritted his teeth. "Why am I taking all the blame? Hatsume-san is responsible! Get her!" Was it low to throw the girl under the bus? Yes, but it hurts like hell to be pulled by the ear like this and be the sole target of an enraged mother. A man sometimes has to do what is necessary!
"She's not here...and she's a child for God's sake," interjected Inko. "So, it's you…."
"Mom! Mom! Please, let me...and All Might go. This isn't entirely his fault," Izuku said to his mother.
She stopped. Immediately, she let go of both Izuku and All Might.
"I'm partially responsible for this, too," he said to her. "No one forced me to go to the Support Department. Hatsume-san was trying to help me with my gloves. She wasn't trying to do any harm. It was an accident." He explained as he rubbed the back of his head. "If it makes you feel better, she has been reprimanded. And she is greatly, greatly apologetic for what she did to me."
"Hmph!" Inko puffed her cheeks as she crossed her arms. "At least she's being made responsible for it, but don't expect me to accept her if you bring her to my house! You can do better than going for the troublemaker type of girls!" She said angrily towards her son.
"Eh?! N-no, Mom! You got it wrong! She's just a friend, honest!" Izuku sputtered seriously with a burning face.
"'A friend', you say," she retorted. She gripped her fist and hit her chest. "Icchan, you didn't!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Did...did...were you forced to do something sensual in exchange for goods?"
Izuku and All Might dropped to the ground comically.
"Mom!" Izuku groaned as he stood up.
"I knew you were young, gullible, and naive, but I wouldn't think you would be exchanging your innocence for some goods." She wiped a tear from her eye. "Save it for the right person you love if you want to do some hanky panky!"
"MOM!" he blurted loudly while all red in the face. "First off: She just asked me that as a favor, I accepted because I liked helping my friends!" He barked at her, upset and embarrassed. "And second, she's not even the girl I like!"
"You don't have to lie, Icchan! You don't have to lie," she retorted. "You're sixteen, out of the house, trying to find yourself." She glared at him. "Getting in touch with yourself...and that girl." She pulled out her handkerchief as she feignedly wiped her eyes. "No longer wanting to stain the sheets…"
"MOM!"
"Did you at least...wear a shield?"
"MOM!"
"I need to know! I'm not ready for grandbabies. Especially little troublemakers coming from that Hatsume girl. If we need to, we can go to the pharmacy and…."
"My poor boy…" All Might felt pity for his poor successor.
"Be that as it may, just tell your 'friend' if she doesn't want to turn up missing, keep her hands on her work and off my Icchan," she said sternly. "Or else! Wakarimasu ka?!"
If she knew that it was further from the truth, but a mother was going to think whatever a mother was going to think. It was falling on deaf ears. Izuku swallowed the lump in his throat. "Wakarimasu ne!" She won't be letting this go for a while… Better keep Hatsume away from her for a long time...a very long time!
"Good!" Inko nodded.
"At least she didn't flood the place or died of a heart attack…" Izuku sighed tiredly. "Anyway, I'm glad that you're taking this well, Mom." He wore a soft smile. "You know, even if there is a way to be a human again, I am actually growing to like my new form so… If I wanna stay like this, would you be okay with it?" He put a hand on his chest.
"Of course I would, sweetie. You know that you have my full support in any decision that you take." Inko smiled warmly at him as she caressed her son's cheek. "And I told you, I love the idea of having an adorably bunny Faunus for a son." She pinched his cheek lightly. Izuku chuckled a little. "Although, in terms of your choices in women, that's where I draw the line." She let go of him, she pouted.
"Mom." Izuku frowned at her.
"As your mother, I'm concerned with which kind of girl you want to be. I'm telling you that you can do better, Icchan!" Inko put both hands on her hips with a serious frown. "Now more than ever, you can easily sweep any girl off her feet now that you're cuter than before and girls love cute guys, I know what I'm telling you, so better go for a good one!" She winked with a sly smile.
"C'mon, Mom. Don't blow it out of proportion." The emerald Faunus replied with an incredulous frown.
"Well, I don't know about your female classmates, but I do know of a certain 'Kitty Cat' that would just adore your new look!~" His mother smiled knowingly at him. Izuku looked at her in surprise. "She will be really surprised to know that now you're a Faunus just like her. If you want to be with a good woman, you should get with her when she comes around in a few months! Kali and I always thought that you and Blakey would be together from the way you were so close, you know? And she really misses you dearly, Kali always says she's asking about you. I'd say you have a good chance!" She continued.
"What's up with you and other mothers wanting to set me up," Izuku said with a bit of irritation in his voice. "It's kinda like you and Auntie Kali are purposely trying to set me up with Blakey." He raised his eyebrow. "Now I'm curious! Since you and Aunt Kali have been re-establishing bridges with each other, what have you been talking about?"
"We are not trying to set you up, honey," The mother said with a smile. "I'm just saying, just try it out with Blake for four, five, maybe even twenty years. If it doesn't work out, then you can always end it with your grandchildren after you guys depart for the heavenly gates."
"Right, you're not setting us up…" Izuku deadpanned with a sarcastic tone. He is starting to have a feeling that his Mother and Kali even planned up a wedding or something. Hopefully they didn't think of all of this ever since he and Blake were kids… No way that his mother and Kali introduced him to Blake for that purpose...right? "And anyway, I doubt that she might think of me like that." He glanced to the side with a slight dejected look.
"I think I see a little Pinocchio at the tip of the nose," she said teasingly as she flicked his nose. "Then why would you call her Blakey, Icchan?"
"..." He blushed intensely at this.
"You've caught the bug! The Faunus bug...literally," she said as she continued smiling. "Plus, a little birdie tells me that Little Miss Kitty Cat is now single."
"Wait...she and Adam…." He glanced back at her with a surprised look.
"Done! Finished! Finito! The alley cat ditched the wretched bullock, but unfortunately became a victim of being a blues' cat. She tried to go for the bad sort of boy and as expected it backfired. Sadly, girls these days have to learn first hand to not go for that kind of man..." She clutched her chest. "If only a loving green-haired rabbit savior can come and sweep her off…"
"No, Mom! I...I...was curious is all."
A few years back, he learned that Blake became Adam Taurus' girlfriend. He had met Adam, many times he and Blake played with him when they were little.
At first he was nice, actually he liked it when he was around them, because Blake played nicer when Adam was around. Izuku and Adam did get along and were friendly towards each other, however as they got older…something just changed with Adam…
Around the last few visits to Menagerie, Adam started to be more aggressive with his activism and especially towards humans, at least the ones native from Remnant. Blake often went to be with him without Izuku, it was obvious for him why that was, she never said it, but he knew it. Izuku knew Adam was one of the reasons why the seeming disinterested of Blake's and the growing gap between them, however he never blamed Adam nor was angry. He was cool, strong and confident, he was talented with his sword even at a young age of 10 and apparently his Semblance was quite deadly for it he could slice through Auras.
The times he saw Adam, he was scared of him, because of this menacing, intimidating aura about him, he thought that he could even spook Kacchan, and spooking him is not easy. He became spiteful, with a burning hatred for humans. More than seeking justice and equality for his kind like Blake, he rather sought vengeance against humans... it was as if he was no longer the Adam he knew…
The times he saw him, he was cold towards him, giving him harsh glares. But he never did anything bad towards him, nor was aggressive. But it was awkward, unnerving and it was obvious Adam didn't want him to be around.
Maybe he was jealous of him being so close to Blake…? It might be, it could also be that he was going full on racist on humans during that time, there's the chance it was both. He never understood why he became like this.
At the very start, when he was starting to get politically involved with the rallies and other sorts of demonstrations of the White Fang, he was passionate about fighting for a just cause, wanting to make a difference like Blake, he was still the Adam he once knew. However, like the White Fang, he took a turn for the worse.
Did he grow so frustrated at the lack of progress and decided to go for a more drastic approach? Did his search for equality ended up leading him down this dark path of revenge, under the guise of justice? Did something happen horribly to him in between the times he wasn't in Remnant? Or was his rage at the atrocities towards the Faunus Kind so great that it led him to outright despise the whole mankind? Simply out of immeasurable resentment and hate...?
Regardless of the reason, he was now violent and ruthless, out for blood against humans. Especially against the Schnee Dust Company, particularly the CEO, Jacques Schnee, the worst of all offenders. Most people on Earth came to that consensus, the SDC is not well seen in this world.
The Belladonnas saw the darkness within him and tried to disway their daughter to not be with him. But at the time, Blake was going through her rebellious phase, she was young and immature to really understand who he really was. And like many rebellious teenage girls, she did exactly what her parents told her not to do just to make them angry.
Izuku never understood why she was so attracted to Adam when he became like that. Sure, he was good looking, but that couldn't have just been it. Maybe it was the allure of the forbidden fruit or the thrill of going against her parents. Or maybe she was just too blinded by her affections towards him to see things for what they really were…
When they started dating, it wasn't that long before both joined the White Fang. Adam rose up through the ranks, making a name for himself for his ruthlessness and extremist methods, basically getting nearly as much respect as Sienna Khan herself, her right hand man essentially.
Adam was feared for these traits, both by humans that became his targets or Faunus who feared of getting in his way. Witnesses of his assaults paint him as a bloodthirsty, deranged psychopath…
That was the last thing he heard about Adam, before he heard of Blake abandoning the White Fang and fleeing to Beacon Academy recently.
"Hmm… In hindsight, I should have known that Blake broke up with Adam if she didn't want anything to do with terroism anymore. Given his reputation and way of being, I doubt Adam would have changed his mind, it's almost a given he's still with the White Fang, spreading terror and violence…" Izuku thought about this new information. "No offence to Kacchan, but Adam sounds like him, just worse, way worse and with no class." He had to be honest, a lot of him reminds him of Kacchan, but with less shouts and more soul piercing glares and violence and he can bet all of his All Might merch that when he says: 'Die', he means it…
"Look Icchan, I can understand if you're still a bit hurt about Blakey leaving you behind just like that, but trust me when I'm telling you she's really sorry about it. She wants to see you again and reconnect with you." Inko said to her son with an understanding tone.
She knew that it must be quite hard for him, when they became distant it really hurt him a lot, he barely ate and was with a sad expression all the time. His eyes were red and puffy due to crying in solitude.
With time he got better, but then he became indifferent about her, every now and then asking about Kali and Ghira, but never saying really much about Blake, nor caring to ask much. He didn't even want to talk to his Aunt and Uncle, of course they understood why.
But despite the seeming indifference, deep down she knew her son still cared, when Blake joined the White Fang, it clearly pained him and many times she caught him seeking information about the White Fang's activities. But then last year, he left all of that to join U.A., making him more disinterested. As if little by little he started to forget her…
"...If it is as you say, why did she never try to talk to me? She could always give me a call or even talk to you." Izuku asked him. Deep down, really deep down, he was angry at her, now that he was reconnecting with his past, he could once more feel the burning sting of her abandonment, in fact, the wound never truly closed and it has just been reopened…
He wants to see her, but at the same time he has resentment. Complex feelings like those with Kacchan. He knows he is an asshole and that they barely get along now, but he never latched on to his resentment towards him, nor let go of the friendship they shared.
He doesn't hate her or anything, he's just mad. "If she's that sorry, she could have told me herself instead of other people having to tell me." That would close it… if he could hear her apologize…
"Apologies are never easy, baby. Especially when they feel as though they are at fault." Inko put a hand on his cheek once more, her voice was compressive. "You need to understand that it was already hard to even talk to her parents again, she was wrought with guilt, shame and regret. It's because of that that she refused to go home. The same reason why she didn't want to talk to us again. She was greatly ashamed of herself, she didn't feel emotionally ready. But now she has a chance to make things right with you, to apologize in person as she wants." The mother then smiled at him. "It's hard to put past the heartbreak you went through, but she is willing to start over, give her the chance. Promise me that you will at least try." She looked him in the eye.
"..." Izuku glanced down briefly before looking back at his mother. "I promise…" He nodded at her. Inko smiled at him happily "But don't expect me to get together with her." He deadpanned at her.
"It's just a suggestion, sweetie!" She grinned at him. "For now!" She has a lot of discussions with Kali later, all for the good of their precious babies! "By the way, you mentioned earlier that there's a girl that you like." But before that, she needs to know who caught her son's eye, apart from that troublemaker.
Izuku flinched as his face turned bright red again. "Shit…!" He knew he had no way to deny this.
"Can I know who it is? You know you can tell me, right?" She said with a friendly smile. "It's one of the girls from your class, right?" How could she guess? Maternal instinct.
Izuku slumped down a little before standing up straight again. "Yeah… Her name is Ochako Uraraka. She's a brunette with rosy cheeks and padded fingers." He confessed as he bashfully glanced to the side, rubbing the back of his hair. "We've been friends since the start of the school year and we're close. You can say she's one of my best friends and she really means a lot to me. She's also really kind and cute. I like everything about her and I'm happy when I'm with her and if I can I want to make her happy too." A soft smile appeared on his face when thinking about Uraraka.
"I see. Well, I'm glad to hear that, Icchan. She sounds like a nice girl." Inko smiled happily. Especially when her son begins to ramble, then it means that he is very excited about something that interests him. Also, she could tell that her son was being honest about her, so she wasn't a troublemaker. "Would it make me a bad mother if I hope that he doesn't ask her out?" Nothing against this Uraraka girl and she trusts her son and his choices, but given his track record of getting it wrong, including hanging out with this Hatsume girl, she still thinks he should be with Blake. This Uraraka sounds like a good girl, but she doesn't know her, she does know Blake and how much she cares about her precious son.
"Well, sweetheart, I can tell that this Uraraka young lady has fancied you," she said to him.
He began to blush, putting his index fingers together. "I wouldn't say fancy...just...just caught my attention as being a special friend."
Inko nodded. "I understand, dear. But…" Her maternal instincts kicked in. "It is important that if you are going to gather feelings for this girl, you must do a few things for me."
"Sure!" Her son nodded in understanding.
"Good! One, I need to meet this young lady."
He turned beet red.
"Well, you can't have my blessing without my approval...right, Icchan?"
He nodded in understanding.
"Two, I need to know more about her family."
"Is that really necessary, Mom!?"
"Yes! Yes, it is! Have to be sure if my grandchildren have good genes and not troublemaking genes." "Plus, I have to be certain if this Uraraka girl's family has great benefits in regards to wealth. Not saying that I am greedy, I just want my son to have the finest things in life. Besides, I want to be somewhat pampered like the Belladonnas."
"Anything else, Mom?" Izuku said, trying to hide his irritation. His face was still red.
She put her finger to her lip. "Umm...that's about it...for now." She snapped her fingers, recalling what she wanted to say. "Since I am here, I was thinking of trying a nice recipe of carrot pie for you or adding carrots to your katsudon. It's the least I can do for my precious Icchan." She pinched his cheeks. "And, of course, more underwear." "And protection...and a hidden camera…"
All Might felt that this was the perfect opportunity to interject. "As you see, Inko-san, Midoriya-shounen is handling the situation very well." He crossed his arm. "Hmpf! A fine prerequisite as a hero-in-training if I might say."
Inko gave him the glare. "If you think we are finished, Yagi-san, then think again!" She turned to her son, displaying a smile. The kind of smile when seeing a bulging vein coming from her head, it meant serious trouble. "Icchan, sweetheart. I am going to need some alone time with your mentor here." She clicked her tongue. "I think he and I need to re-negotiate certain terms and conditions when it comes to taking care of you." "And a strong reminder of where he comes from."
Izuku swallowed the lump in his throat. He could recall the times as a child whenever she did that to his father. In a way, that could easily explain why he was never home. He turned to look at his mentor and he glanced back at him with slight fright.
The emerald-haired Faunus then looked back at his mother and silently nodded in understanding, before walking out. He told All Might: I'm Sorry, with his eyes as he passed him by. The boy walked out of the room and closed the door.
It wasn't even a second when he heard a strong boom in the teacher's room.
Sorry, Inko-san! Please for the love of Dio….
Save your sorries for later, Yagi-san. What did I say about protecting Icchan?!
I have! I promise! I swear!
Oh, you're going to do some swearing, Skeletor! Curious to see what your colon looks like?
I...I...I never thought about it….
Well, allow me to demonstrate….
"They'll be fine!" Izuku thought euphemistically as he departed. As long as he didn't receive a text from any news media regarding a missing mentor and an angry mother wanted for questioning, then things should be well. Right?! He's starting to question if she got that side from being around Mitsuki for so long...
Izuku and All Might stood at the front gates of the school alongside Inko. The former Symbol of Peace had bruises around his body and looked exhausted.
"Well… It went better than I expected…" Izuku thought. It could have been way worse for his mentor, way worse.
"Alright, Honey, It's time for me to get going." Inko smiled warmly at her son.
Izuku nodded at her. "I'm glad that you're fine with my new self." He smiled at her.
"Of course, sweetie. Everything's sorted out, right, Yagi-san? Cause I would be really disappointed if you break your promise again!" She glared at All Might. Even if the mother smiled a terrifying aura emanated from her.
The skeleton-like man flinched at her piercing glare. "O-of course, Inko-san…" He nodded at her with a waving grin. Izuku felt terrible for whatever pain his mentor went through.
"Good!" Inko beamed. "You know, Izuku? Now that you're a Rabbit Faunus, this now gives me the perfect change of trying out this carrot pie recipe that I wanted for a while now. I can also add a few carrot pieces to your favorite katsudon." She glanced at her son.
Izuku perked up at this. "I would like that very much. Thanks Mom." He smiled. He always loved his mother's home cooking.
"You're welcome, dear." Inko smiled warmly at him. "And don't forget to introduce me to this lady friend of yours" She said with a teasing tone and a wink.
Izuku sighed. "I will, but some other day."
"It's okay, there's no rush. And remember: Don't give me bunny grandkids until marriage!"
"Mom…" Izuku groaned as his checks heated up.
Inko giggled. "All right, goodbye." She waved at her son and his mentor before turning around and walking away.
"Bye, Mom." Izuku waved at her alongside his mentor as they watched her walk away until she was gone and as soon as she was Deku and All Might let out a sigh in exhaustion and relief. "Glad that's over with…" The boy muttered.
"Indeed…" All Might agreed. "And with fewer scratches than I thought." He wore a tired smile.
"Right. Sorry 'bout that." Izuku apologized.
"It's alright, Shounen. As scary as it was, that was just how your mother showed concern for you. What matters is that everything is alright now."
Izuku nodded. "A concern less for us. I feel like a weight is off my shoulders." He put a hand on his chest.
"My boy, I don't want to meddle in your personal manners, but your mother mentioned a young lady named Blake. She wouldn't happen to be Blake Belladonna?" All Might asked him in a more serious tone.
"..." He silently nodded as he averted his gaze. Of course his mentor would ask...
"It's a surprise that you know her and her family." Toshinori commented to his pupil.
"That… was something of my past, way before I met you. Until recently that was just a blur in my memories… The topic was never brought up so I never told you." Izuku explained with a shrug.
"I see." All Might replied calmly. "So you know Miss Belladonna is one of the exchange students coming in a few months, I suppose."
Izuku nodded. "Her mother told mine and she told me a week ago. But that's all I know and I didn't tell anyone."
"And you and her are childhood friends?" His mentor asked him.
"We were… I hadn't met her in years. We became distant." Izuku's face turned noticeably sad.
"And how do you feel about this?" All Might asked him again.
"Hard to say…"
"Are you angry with her? From the sounds of it she was the one that left you behind."
"I won't lie, I am. It hurt a lot, it still does…" Izuku averted his gaze to the side again.
"Midoriya-shounen. I believe that your mother was honest when she said Miss Belladonna would like to make amends with you." All Might put a hand on his shoulder. The OFA heir glanced at him. "From her records and word from the Beacon Staff, Miss Belladonna is a great student with a lot of talent and potential as a Huntress. They are aware of her involvement with the White Fang, but they can see that she only wants to undo her mistakes." He began his explanation. "Her team, Team RWBY, also has the tendency of getting themselves into dangerous situations just like their sister team, Team JNPR. Does that ring a bell for you?" He continued with a knowing smile.
Deku blinked twice in surprise."Really?" He asked.
"Why else do you think they were selected for this program?"
"Hmm… Sounds like a fitting match." The emerald-haired teen seems to understand why Class A was chosen to host Blake's team if they get into as much trouble as his class.
"Yes. Although I shouldn't probably be sharing this with you, I can see that the young lady is important to you. I could tell you more if you like." All Might offered with a friendly smile.
"It's fine. I would rather hear it from her own mouth. We have a lot to talk about, after all." Izuku shook his head in denial. "I promised Mom that I would give her a chance."
"Of course." All Might nodded in understanding. "I'm certain you and her might be able to reconnect, the fact that she is seeking you out to apologize must mean something." He smiled warmly at his successor.
"..." Izuku started blushing deeply.
"And the fact that you still hold onto these feelings let me know that you, too, care about her. You also wish to reconnect with her."
"...I… I hope so…" Izuku replied avoiding eye-contact. "Um, I guess I should head back." He turned around and started to walk away.
"One more thing, Shounen." His mentor called him.
"Hm?" Izuku turned to look at him with curiosity.
"I'm happy to know that Uraraka-shoujo caught your eye, she is a good choice." He smiled at him with pride.
"...!" Izuku flinched as his face turned beet red.
"If you ever need guidance there, don't be afraid to ask." All Might continued.
"Er… All Might, with all due respect… I doubt you know more about women than I do." Izuku said, trying to not sound disrespectful.
All Might felt those words hit him like an arrow, somehow making him cough blood before recomposing himself. "A-anyway, you should get going, it's getting late after all." He grinned sheepishly at the boy. The sun was starting to set in the horizon.
"He's not denying it…" Izuku sweatdropped. "Right. I'll see you later." Izuku bowed down before turning around and resumed his way.
"Oh, and call your father when you get the chance. Send him my warmest regards that he is raising a wonderful son and has a wonderful wife. Please! Say those exact words!" All Might shouted at him as the boy was walking off.
"Uh… Okay!" He replied as he walked off. "I have a feeling I don't wanna know what Mom did to him…" He shivered in fear at the thought of whatever horror his mentor went through.
Izuku returned to the dorm. He did his homework and took a shower before going to have dinner with the rest of his classmates.
"So your mother came and was informed of what happened to you." Tenya said after Midoriya told them what happened a bit ago.
"Mm-hm." He nodded in reply.
"She didn't kill All Might, did she?" Katsuki said with a bored face.
"No… But she was really angry, I dunno exactly what she did, but I know it wasn't pretty. Honestly I don't want to know either." Deku replied with a slightly scared expression.
"Hmph! That's what happens when you stick to my old hag for too long." Katsuki replied unsurprised.
"She is not the best of influences, isn't she?" Shouto commented bluntly as he ate a bowl of soba. Given that he knows that Bakugou's mother was basically the one who taught him to reply with violence in certain situations...
"Normally I would yell for you to go to hell, Shitty Halves. But you're right." Kacchan said with a plain frown. "Speaking of the old hag, she sent me this and went on and on about why I didn't tell her." He pulled out his phone and showed the selfie Auntie Inko snapped with that useless Deku. Katsuki sounded irritated.
"Sorry about that, I tried to stop her. But you know how moms get sometimes." Izuku rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed blush. Kacchan just scoffed at him.
"At least your mom took it well, that's something." Eijiro grinned at him.
"Yeah, it is." Deku nodded with a smile. "Can't say the same for my mentor. He has texted me multiple times if I have called my father yet." Yep, he made the right call in not asking.
"So, Deku," said Sero as he was sneakily trying to take some extra soba from Todoroki's bowl. "It seems that you are adjusting, if not liking the idea of staying this way."
"It is something I am learning to accept," responded Izuku. "Just as earlier in life I accepted being quirkless, now I am adapting to this new body that makes me a Faunus."
"Good for you," replied Shouto as he slapped Hanta's hand. A noticeable smile appeared on his serene face. "I know you aren't fully ready to be...an icon, but I highly suggest you take it one day at a time."
"Agreed, Todoroki bro," said Eijiro.
"Never truer a word spoken there, Todoroki-san," replied Tenya.
"Trying to sneak something in about your quirkless past," commented Katsuki. "Look! If you're looking for an apology, Deku, please look elsewhere."
Deku produced a smile. "No apologies needed. Just stating facts is all." He giggled as he bit into a carrot.
Katsuki blew a raspberry. "Whatever, bakas!" He scooted loudly from the chair.
"C'mon bro, you gotta at least be glad that things are looking out for Midoriya here. As his rival you should acknowledge that." Eijiro patted his back.
"Pff!" The explosive blond scoffed to the side. "You better be ready for next time we go at it, cause I'm gonna blow that cottontail off your ass, you hear?" He turned to Deku with a stern, yet determined glare.
"Don't think I'll make it easy, Kacchan. You might be surprised." Deku replied with determination in his eyes.
"Hmph! You better be ready to kiss the ground again, you shitty nerd." Kacchan replied before he stood up. "Going to the bathroom. Don't look for me!"
"Were you gonna be missed," muttered Sero under his breath.
"At least he's starting to cool down about my change, that's another good thing." Deku can tell that Kacchan is less angry than before, it's hard for the others to see it though.
Tenya gathered more wasabi to add to his meal. "More information than we needed to hear, Bakugo-kun!" Before grabbing his water glass, he saw his female counterparts. "Evening, ladies!" He then frowned. "Late as usual as always."
Ashido giggled as she took Katsuki's seat. The other girls took their seats in their respective areas. "You're such a card, Iida-kun. You know the saying, "age before beauty."
"We're the same age," interjected Iida.
"Judging by your bulky demeanor, easy agitation, and…" She took some soba from his bowl. "Absorption of these carbs, your skin is gonna become thicker than milk. So age before beauty."
"Whatever," responded Tenya.
"Hey, Deku-kun," said Mina as she winked.
Izuku turned beet red. "Hi, Ashido-san," he replied with a meek smile. He found it strange that Ashido called him like that, sure sometimes some of the others do, but never she called specifically like that. Only Uraraka does, well she and Melissa, but that's besides the point. He didn't think much about it other than she was just teasing him, Ashido is sorta like the jokester of the class.
Mina licked her lips. She wanted to be much of a tease for rabbit-kun. However, the boys were interfering and they were definitely not going to get that for free. She paused when seeing Bakugo's cell phone sitting on the table. Thinking about what he did to Deku earlier, she decided to have a little fun with the spiky-haired pomeranian.
It didn't take a genius to know Bakugo's password.
3-4-3-2-2-5-2-3-4-3 (D-I-E-B-A-K-A-D-I-E)
Once retrieving the password, she was able to get into his phone. Her mouth dropped when seeing the selfie image of Izuku and his mother.
"Ara ara~" thought Mina to herself when seeing the image that was going to be her...and her classmates' sweet dreams, tonight it will be fun!. She clicked on the image, forwarded it to her phone. She added her friends in the group text.
"And...send!" Mina giggled as she was holding her cheeks. "This will definitely make great after dinner entertainment." Why did she send it to the other girls when knowing that they want him as bad as her? Simple: they are all friends and she likes to be fair. "They can have a single picture, I am going for the real deal!" It was generosity from her part, really!
Hagakure was the first to receive the text message. "Holy Esdeath! No, no, no! Why Deku?! Why do you want to be this adorably sexy?" The invisible teen was grateful to Mina, but at the same time, felt this unsettling urge to kick her ass. "How did she get this pic? How long did she have this pic? Well, the alien girl can enjoy playing with her bubble gum. Izuku is going to have a taste of my bubble gum. Or is it a rabbit hole? I mean, he is a rabbit Faunus. So….is it getting hot in here?" Good thing she is invisible, because Tooru's body is heating up again. Surely her face was burning red
Jiro was the second to receive the text message. She became white-eyed. The rocker chick was speechless. What blasphemy this alien girl did to make her urges for Deku stronger. She was trying to resist. Even had lunch with the buffoon Kaminari to take her mind off Izuku. However, whenever he spoke, she could only hear Deku. Now, seeing a picture of her husband and future mother-in-law, she could only describe her feelings in song.
"I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you."
Kyouka should be getting concerned that that song was a yandere-ish one… Thing is that the song is 100% accurate...
Asui wasn't sure if she was a frog hybrid with a sprinkle of canine because her tongue was lapping like a happy dog awaiting her owner. She had a napkin as she wiped the cell phone image every few seconds. "Majin Buu is just asking me to get this boy on the spot. I just want him to throw me on this table and slurp me like that soba he is eating. Then, when he's finished, I want that nice pink rod to tenderize that ass of mine." This was serious, especially if she doesn't add 'ribbit' at the end of her sentences. Tsuyu's getting feral…
Yaoyorozu...Momo...never did she think she would have to replace Todoroki with Midoriya under the list of emergency contacts. There was a fire alright, coming at the center of her cavern. And it was Deku's white foam that could relieve her from being hot and bothered. She gripped her chest. Sweat was dripping all throughout her body. Suddenly, to her own shock, she reached for her hair. She pulled the rubber band and pulled it from her. She tilted her hair, feeling the freedom of it being hung loose. And she couldn't wait for that hung rabbit to loosen the holy passage that she once was saving for Todoroki. Will his mother accept her as her daughter-in-law and the mother of her grandchildren?
"Hey, Todoroki-san! Are you okay," asked Izuku when hearing his chopsticks dropped.
The icy hot teen hit his chest. "I'm fine! But...for some reason, I am feeling a bit sad. "His face was calm as usual, but inside he just felt like he was hit by a truck.
"I would be too if I were the son of Endeavor," commented Katsuki as he returned from the bathroom. He kept silent as he took his phone away from Pinky. He then turned to Deku. "I'm starting to think being a sissy is becoming contagious."
"Says the son of a fashion designer," commented Fumikage.
"How dare you say that to my face," barked Katsuki.
"I would say it to your ass too but I can only afford a one way bus fare," retorted Fumikage. "Maybe your mother can loan me some money. You did say she was an old hag…."
"Eat worms and die, Birdboy!" shouted Katsuki.
"Not before your mother eats my worm...if you catch my drift," retorted Fumikage.
While Fumikage and Katsuki continued their bantering, time was standing still for the brunette herself. Ochako clutched her chest. She thought she couldn't breathe. She was in disbelief of the image that she was seeing in her very brown eyes. She took a finger, edging along the lines of her Izuku, beautiful Izuku, the boy that has captured many hearts. If the teen knew there were many after him, but his naive nature hinders him from realizing it. She saved this image under her personal gallery. It was a keepsake to add along with other things.
Her mind was thinking about their kiss the other night. She would be a liar if she said it was just a friendship kiss. She wanted that to remain in Deku's mind. However, that was her first unofficial kiss. In a way, she would have to thank Hatsume. Her carelessness set the wheels in motion and the fact that she was the first to touch his cheeks from her lips set a precedent. No one could ever say that they were the first to kiss him, but her. However, his lips must seal the deal. She needed to be strategic if she wanted Deku to steal those lips of hers. No more self denying, she wants him and she will have him!
The only thing is how? Well, it was hard to think on an empty stomach and a burning crotch. A long night awaits her…
"Okay… This is getting pretty weird." Izuku thought to himself as he walked down the hallways towards the infirmary to check on Recovery Girl. Another has passed by since he talked with his mother, she texted him that she will send him that carrot pie soon and the boy really is looking forward to that.
However, in the last few days stuff is… off, like really off. To be exact, with the girls of his class.
"First the girls start to get more physically close to me." The first thing he noticed is that when he sat somewhere on the dorms either on the common table or the couch to watch some TV, one of the girls was there to keep him company. It wouldn't be that weird if it was just Uraraka, however, it's always any of them, usually two or three. Uraraka being the only constant. The same can be said in the cafeteria, he is flanked by two of the girls and one sitting across. "Then came the names. For whatever reason they suddenly start calling me by my first name, some like Ura- Ochako, still call me Deku though. Which leads to the other weird thing, they all asked me to call them by their names, granted Tsu-chan asks that, especially to me, but it's weird that all of them want that now." He is still a little put off at how sudden this all happened a few days ago.
"Hey, Deku-kun? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, Uraraka-san. What is it?"
"Em… W-well, you see… I-I-Is it okay i-i-if um… y-you call me O-o-ochako from now on…?
"...Huh? Uh, w-why are you asking me this all of the sudden?"
"It's just…. I dunno, we've been friends since the start of the school year and we're close so… I think we're past formalities, don't you think?"
"I… I guess so, Ura- I mean, Ochako."
"Thank you, oh and em, is it okay if I call you Izuku every now and then?"
"N-not at all!"
That one was the least weird cause it made a lot of sense coming from her, they were close friends and they went through a lot so it made sense that they drop the formalities. And Ochako smiled so cutely and adorable when he said her first name, not at all like that wet dream he had of her.
However, it didn't stop with her.
"Izu-chan."
"Huh? Asui-san?"
"I told you many times to call me Tsu-chan. Ribbit."
"R-right, sorry."
"It's okay, Izu-chan."
"Em, 'Izu-chan?"
"Yeah, it's short for Izuku."
"Oh, right. But why are you calling me like that?"
"Because we're friends, Ribbit."
"Well, we are, but you never called me like that before."
"That's true. I just feel like calling you like that, that's all. You know I call my friends by their first names."
"Right…"
"Hope I don't have to keep reminding you how to call me."
"I won't Asu- I mean, Tsu-chan."
It was normal of Tsuyu to remind him how to call her, but the weird part was how she came up with that nickname for him. Sure, the frog girl is known for being really forward with how she talks, still, it really felt a little out of nowhere. But it did make some sense. And like with Ochako, she seemed happy when he called her like she wanted, he could even tell as she wore a noticeable smile on her usual blank face.
"Guess who is is?~"
"Um. Hagakure-san?"
"Huh? How'd you know, I thought you were distracted."
"Your voice?"
"Say, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Can you call me Tooru from now on?"
"Huh?"
"Yeah, you don't need to be so formal with me. It's boring!"
"Uhh… O-kay…?"
"Oh and you don't mind if I call you Izuku or Izu-kun from now on?"
"Um… No?"
"Yay! Thanks Izu-kun!~"
"H-hagakure-san!?"
"*Giggles* Silly, I just said you call me Tooru~"
"S-sure, T-Tooru…"
"*Giggles* You're cute when you're flustered like that, you know?~"
"T-thanks, I guess…"
That one started with Izuku sitting on the couch of the dorms reading a bit of Remnant before going off to school, then came Tooru from behind him and covered his eyes, though apparently she forgot she was invisible. Then she jumped over the couch and sat right beside him. She just asked her like that so suddenly and he told her she could use his first name, she hugged him, making him blush deeply. He swore he could almost see a smile coming from her when he called her by her name and she sounded more happy and bubbly than normal, which she always is.
"Hey there, Deku-kun~"
"Hm? Oh, hey Ashido-san."
"Hmm, what was that? Did I just hear a certain Rabbit Faunus being unnecessarily formal with me?"
"Huh? What are you talking about, Ashido-san?"
"Hmmm? I didn't hear that. I do wonder why that boy keeps calling me like that, he doesn't have to."
"Er… M-Mina-san?"
"Hmm? I think I heard something, but maybe he is still a little too formal."
"M-Mina…?"
"Yes, Izuku?~"
"W-what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just chatting with you~"
That one literally came after Tooru let him go. The pink girl came up to talk to him, she playfully put a hand behind her ear and the other one on her hip. She pretended not to listen until he said her name like she wanted and when he did, she turned to him with a flirtatious expression and used his name without even asking him first. The whole time she totally ignored Tooru until she manifested herself.
Tooru sounded upset at Mina for suddenly coming in and interrupting her moment with him. Mina apologized for not noticing her.
Everything seemed fine, but there was a small tension between the two of them…
"What happened about promising each other not to interfere, Mina-chan?" Tooru and the girls have made a pact with each other since the obviosity of their liking the same guy. For the sake and the safety of our closeness in the relationship of this group, we will not and shall not pursue Izuku without informing one another first.
"Tee-hee! Funny thing about promises ..."
"Look this isn't some bubble gum you can just chew and discard, Pinky! You must treat Izuku with care if you want to make this work."
"Who in the hell are you calling Pinky?"
"Don't see any other Majin Buu rejects standing right in front of me, do I?"
"It's very convenient you are invisible. That means no one would notice, even if you take a vacation. Would you care to make that more of a permanent trip, Tooru-chan?"
Izuku thought it was best not to involve himself in this quarrel. He slowly thinned away until he was out of sight. So he didn't hear the part about pursuing him.
"Izuku!"
"Jiro-san?!"
"Let's skip the formalities, Izu-babe! You - call me Kyouka. Me - Izuku or Izu-chan!"
"Quite blunt of you, Jir...K-k-k-youka!"
"The daughters of musicians, cutie! But, anyway, I am in a bit of a rush so here's something I want to give you."
"Wow! What is this?"
"A key to my heart!"
"What?"
"A key to my art...studio! Yes! Well, it's my parents' studio. So, it really doesn't have to do anything with drawing, per se. But, heck! Isn't music art?!"
"Yeah, I believe so!"
"Whenever you want to hang out or make music, just use the key and you can 'come' anytime."
"Sure!"
"Oh, yeah! One more thing."
"What are these?!"
"A sweets tray…"
*CHU* "Kyouka!"
"For my sweet!"
Izuku didn't have time to register the rocker chick's sudden kiss on the cheek before she skirted off out of sight. That was by far THE weirdest instance, Kyouka just came outta nowhere and started using his name. She came in very direct and blunt like Tsu-chan, which isn't that weird coming from the rocker, but also in an uncharacteristic flirtatious manner that would be more normal on Mina. She was also very bubbly like Tooru in that moment, overall very off character, she is usually on the more inward and reserved side of things, and she's also not that close to him. She was talking to him as if he was her boyfriend… He feels like maybe the key for her parent's studio was not just for making music…
"Hello, Midoriya-san. Thank you for coming."
"No problem, Yaoyorozu-san. Where's Iida-kun and Todoroki-kun? I thought we would study about Remnant together again."
"That would be later, I just called you for something else."
"Oh, I see. What's wrong? I doubt you need my help with studies."
"*Giggles* It's nothing like that, I just want to ask you something."
"Okay, what is it?"
"You see, I would like to form a closer bond with you so, Is it okay if we drop formalities for now on?"
"Don't get me wrong, that sounds nice, but why?"
"We've been spending more time together lately and I really like your company, so I thought that we should get more comfortable with each other."
"Well, that's true. But we just study and also Todoroki-kun and Iida-kun are also with us."
"Yes, that's right. But like I say, I enjoy your company and I would like to be closer to you, if it's okay with you, of course."
"Uh… Okay, I guess there's no harm in that, Momo."
"Thank you, Izuku. Oh and here, this is something I made for you."
"What's there? A doll?"
"A matryoshka doll of your image. I thought you would like a small token of friendship."
"Well, it's cute, thanks."
This one is in the middle of sensical and weird. Momo and Izuku did spend more time together studying about Remnant among other things, but Todoroki and Iida are always with them, they became a group of study. So it was weird that she asked to be closer to just him and not include Iida and Todoroki, which would have made more sense since she spent more time with those two.
She was gentle and polite, wearing a kind smile which only increased when he called her by her name. She also made him a matryoshka doll, like the ones she used in her exam with Todoroki, except made with his image, it even had bunny ears and a tail, it was a cute gift, so he accepted it and put it in his room.
But the weirdness didn't stop there. "There's also the way they smell recently, I'm certain their scent wasn't this fishy. Tsu-chan and Mina are more smelly than the rest. I can even pick up that scent even hidden within the clean smell of perfume." Most likely most of the others except maybe Shoji, couldn't tell, didn't notice, but the girls had a different smell than before, or rather a new aroma was added to their usual scent. Deku could pick this up because of his sharper sense of smell. They all smelled like shrimp or fresh squid, strangely enough… he likes that smell, but he doesn't get why though…
"And then came all those times in which one of them came out from who-knows-where to ask me to come with them to who-knows-what." Ever since his talk with his mother and the girls getting closer to him, they started to just come to him and ask them to hang out with him. And it was always just him and one of them.
"Hey, Deku-kun. Do you mind coming with me to this coffee shop nearby?" Ochako asked him this after returning from school. It was a nice afternoon he spent with her, almost like a date...
"Izu-chan. You wanna come with me to the pool?" Tsuyu asked him this last weekend. He spent hours with her by the pool, just swimming and chatting, it was nice and calm. Although he swore he saw her drooling a few times...
"Hiya Izu-kun! I'm going to the arcade to win some plushies for my room, you wanna tag along?" Tooru asked him this last Friday. He won her a pair of plushies from the claw machines and played other sorts of video games, but on the way home she clung to his arm.
"Izuku.~ I'm going to the gym to practice breakdancing, I wouldn't mind if you came to see~" Mina flirted. Even if it sounded like a suggestion, she pretty much dragged him to the gym and made him sit and watch her dance. She is amazing at it, although her moves were a little erotic...
"Hey, Izuku. Do you wanna come to my room to hear some tunes I've come up with? I need someone's opinion. Please?" Kyouka asked him. Again this is the weirdest instance, as she doesn't like to show off her musical skills, even after the Cultural Festival, she still prefers to play music on her lonesome. But Izuku still accepted and went to her room. She played the acoustic guitar and sang beautifully for him. She asked him for his opinion and he told her that he liked it. She seemed a little conflicted and went to grab a notebook with musical notes and lyrics. Apparently she isn't satisfied with the song she's making yet, but says that she nearly has it. After that, she didn't kick him out or anything, rather asked him to stay a while and listen to some of her vinyls with her.
"Hello, Izuku. Do you mind if you come to my room to study with me?" Momo asked him this politely. There was nothing weird about studying together, but the weird part was that she asked him to go to her room alone. They spent the afternoon together studying and having breaks to chat and have tea. It was nice, but a little strange. And also she sat so close to him that she rubbed shoulders with him.
So far it doesn't seem like something is wrong between the girls, which is good. Although he worries about what happened with Mina and Tooru the other day, so far nothing like that has repeated.
There is also another problem… He's been more aroused lately. He's been watching at the girls' dangerous zone when they weren't looking subconsciously and he struggled to not pinch a tent in his pants every time he catches that female scent. He even sometimes quickly glanced at any girl he passed by, like the one from Class B, Midnight-sensei, Nejire-senpai… "God, I hope I'm not turning into a pervert like Mineta-kun or Kaminari-kun… This increased libido is getting really troublesome." He figured that this particular problem has to do with his Faunus physiology. "*Groan* Who knows how many times I masturbated this week alone…?" Before he rarely, if ever played with himself, but this week, his sexual drive has been through the roof, lucky he could keep it tapped and let it out whence he reached the safeness of his room. He masturbated to… well, any girl that came, either classmate or Pro Heroine. Otherwise he would wake up with a mess in the bed. And the worst part is that one session isn't enough, in fact it takes who-knows-how-many before he goes soft!
His thoughts were becoming more troubled, perverted - things he would have never thought he would see or do with those girls. Honestly, he never gave it a thought of using his classmates as sexual relief. It wasn't that he didn't feel bad if he did, but he had never viewed them that way. Imagining Tooru wearing a nurse's outfit. He had imagined Momo wearing a Catholic schoolgirl outfit that was way above the knees and tight around her curves. He imagined Kyouka cosplaying as the main leader of the Hex Girls from the Scooby-Doo movie. He definitely didn't mind having a spell casted upon him with that outfit…
No! No! No! Stop, Izuku, stop! He leaned against the wall. More thoughts bombarding his brain. Mina on a table with desserts covering her body. Tsuyu wearing the tightest one-piece black swimsuit, soaked and moist from the pool and sweat. O-O-O-chako! The UA cheerleader outfit. She needed to wear that with some green spanks. Perform a naughty dance for him in his dorm room. Oh boy… That one nearly drove him over the edge...
There were now two options: he could go to the restroom and possibly have the hazmat team summoned after cleaning the gallons of his spunk. The possible embarrassment from the student body and there was no way Kacchan was going to live that down. He could envision him reminding him of that whenever they have class reunions. No way he could tell anyone that it was some villain that soaked him in ectoplasm.
And what way to create a ruse whenever the Beacon students arrive if that were to occur?
Second option - go and see Recovery Girl. He could already picture his next shin-kicking from the tiny Grandma. Nevertheless, face embarrassment from a woman who has probably seen thousands of boys like him back in her day or embarrassment from the student body. "Might as well go and see Granny! The lesser of two evils!" Of course, the nurse told him that if anything weird were to happen to him, he must go see her immediately. This fits that criteria 100%, even if he knew what was wrong with him, he needed to go see a professional to help him out.
Izuku sighed to himself and continued on his path. He focused on the hallways and tried to ignore every distraction.
However, there is yet another weird thing, through the week he started to notice people turning to look at him. Granted, ever since he became a Faunus people turned to look at him with curiosity and awe, it got under Deku's nerves because he didn't like the unwanted attention.
Fortunately it died down, however recently he noticed that not completely... Sometimes he caught the girls turning their heads around away from him, as if to pretend that they were looking at him.
But it wasn't just the girls from his classroom, he caught some random girls looking at him when he walked by the hallway like he is now. When he turned to look at them, they pretended that they weren't looking or giggling to themselves. The same happened in the cafeteria.
He also spotted some girls from Class B glancing at him briefly and every time in Modern Hero History class, he noticed Midnight giving quick glances at him and even discrete winks and smiles.
It unnerved him to know that every time he is walking by those girls many times turn to peek at him, he could almost feel their gazes… "The only constants in all of these strange occurrences is that it's all related to me and girls… So am I the cause of this? Maybe I am…" That was the only explanation, just a few weeks ago everything was normal, but now this weird stuff has been going on. "I really doubt that girls now look at me because I'm cuter to them. No, something else is going on and I'm gonna get some answers." If he is somehow the cause, then he needs to ask Recovery Girl, she has to have an answer for all of this.
A knock was heard on the door of Recovery Girl's door. "Come in." She bluntly replied.
Then Midoriya came in."Hello, Recovery Girl." The boy greeted her respectfully.
"Ah, Hello Midoriya." The tiny nurse greeted him back. "I'm still running some tests on your condition, it's taking longer than I suspected. Sadly the prospect is still the same." She informed him as she got off her chair and approached him.
"I understand. I've been getting ready for the possibility of staying like that and actually I am learning to like my new body, so even if I could change back, I would still choose to stay like this," Izuku replied with a smile.
"Well, I heard that you've been doing very well these last few weeks. I'm glad to know that you're taking this as a gift." Recovery Girl smiled at him. "However, since you came here, I suppose it's because something is wrong, isn't it?" She knew this was the case. Izuku sighed and nodded in confirmation. "Figured as much. Let me guess, does it have something to do with your sexual drive?" She asked him bluntly.
Izuku flinched and his face turned burning red. "H-h-h-how did you know that?!"
"After getting the results of your analysis I found out that you now have the physical properties of a rabbit, which also includes your libido. I was actually wondering when you would show up to talk about it." The nurse explained calmly.
"...I… see…" Izuku glanced down in embarrassment, his face was burning. "Yeah, I've been very… aroused lately around girls and… it's starting to drive me crazy…. At first it wasn't bad, but it got progressively worse." He explained his problem, avoiding eye contact.
"Obviously you would be, you are a Rabbit Faunus now." Recovery Girl sat back on her chair. "The libido of a Rabbit Faunus is higher than the average human, couples composed of at least one of these Faunuses have quite the active sexual lives. In other words, the stereotype of Rabbit Faunuses being always horny isn't totally baseless, of course it depends on the individual. However, as an Alpha, your libido is even higher than a normal Rabbit Faunus." She explained. "However, you said that it got progressively worse, right?"
Izuku nodded at her with embarrassment. "There are times in which I feel I could blow…"He muttered softly.
"Hmm." Recovery Girl rubbed her chin. "You are often around girls, right?" She asked him.
"More now than ever, yeah." Deku nodded in confirmation.
"Then there's only one explanation. I think you figured out yourself."
"Please don't tell me that I'm…"
"That's right, you're in heat." Recovery Girl confirmed calmly.
"..." Izuku glanced at her eye-widened.
"Since you're always around girls and you're still a teenager, you'd be more susceptible to being forced into heat, even if it's not the season. To the point of playing with yourself no longer being a suitable outlet." The nurse explained, making the boy cover his face with both hands as his face burned hotter, nearly causing vapor to come out from his rabbit ears. "And I suppose that's not the only thing you have to tell me, correct?"
Izuku looked at her again, still with a burning red blush on his cheeks. He nodded. "F-for some reason the girls from my class have been around me much more than usual and acting differently towards me…" He explained bashfully.
"Of course. The analysis also reveals that you emanate a certain type of smell, pheromones to be precise." Recovery Girl explained, still calm.
Izuku's eyes widened as he understood where this was going.
"These pheromones only affect susceptible females, it's undetectable for males. And the pheromones you gave off have an aphrodisiac effect which becomes more potent with longer exposure. In other words, the reason why your female friends suddenly act so weird is because you turn them on simply by catching your smell." She elaborated as she took a brief look at her paperweight.
"B-but why?! There's no way a Faunus does that! Even if they are an alpha!" Izuku asked in shock and panic.
"That's right, they don't." Recovery Girl maintained the calm. "You, however, are a different case. Whatever sort of Dust that you got bathed in left you with yet another mutation in your otherwise normal Faunus physiology that makes you air out that scent." She explained. "The good news is that this can be controlled like a Quirk, perhaps not totally, but enough to not make every single pantie on a mile soaked on the spot. The bad thing is that your pheromones are attracted to your libido, meaning that the more you turn on you are, the more you turn them on. The other good news is that it doesn't affect females during pre-puberty, menopause and blood relation. As in, no little girls, old ladies and no blood relatives, so you can ease yourself about that." She explained.
Izuku regained some composure as he listened. "Well, at least that's a relief…" Last thing he needs is to prove right those stereotypes about country Rabbit Faunuses or being called lolicon… Although he might have to worry when Eri-chan hits puberty, thank God that won't happen in a long time... "So, how do I make all of this stop?" He asked her.
"With time I might have medicine to temporarily make the pheromones stop, however I highly doubt there is a cure for this." Recovery Girl cupped her chin before looking at the boy. "What you can do to control it is really simple: Get a mate!" She declared bluntly.
"...Eh…?" Izuku uttered with his eyes as wide as saucers.
"You heard me, get a mate! Get a girlfriend and lose your virginity!" She declared bluntly again. "You're in heat, so your pheromones must be potent and they will get more potent as time goes, making girls around you go crazy while you go crazy as well, the only thing to stop this is that you find a female and mate with her until you are satiated, that would release your inner pressure and at the same time decrease the pheromones and their effect, which would make the overtime effects decrease as well." She explained more calmly.
Izuku stood petrified at this. "B-b-b-but…" He spew nervously as he shivered.
"There are three options: 1) You do nothing and either you turn feral with animal lust and rape every girl in sight, or cause the biggest catfight in all of U.A.'s history given that you might also have affect other girls on the school, without even mentioning Kayama. The worst scenario is both. 2) We lock you up far enough so no girl or woman can get even a whiff of your pheromones and leave you there until you go through your heat, all chained up in case you go feral. 3) You go out, get a girlfriend, have sex with her and let out all that pent up, making the pheromones decrease their effect and everything goes back to normal. It's clear cut for me."
Izuku swallowed the lump in his throat before he raised his finger. "How about a fourth option? I've studied that numbing cream or applying ice packs to my penis could reduce the swelling."
Recovery Girl took a strong sigh. "Have you ever seen a loose water hose?"
"I would like to say yes?"
"Okay! Now imagine that lose water hose as your penis, but it is continuing to spew liquid. Sorry, Midoriya, but there is no way around it. Conquer it or it will conquer you!"
After hearing this Izuku let out a sigh of defeat as he slumped his shoulder. "If you ever need a reason to get a girl and get laid, this is the one."
"Guess so…" The emerald Faunus replied as he stood straight. "I was hoping to save myself until I was of legal age, though…" He rubbed the back of his head.
"Wait?! There are people like you that still exist," questioned Recovery Girl surprisingly.
"Yeah! Is that a problem?"
"If you are a herbivore or a inceb. But I can't tell him that, can I?" "I don't like pushing boys into turning into men either, Midoriya. But these days, kids of your age got rid of their V cards, so you shouldn't concern yourself with that." Recovery Girl didn't like this idea either, but it's the best choice. "What you must keep in mind though is always have protection on hand with you, stock up on after-morning pills and condoms. Your sperm count should be higher along with your virility; the latter should be at peak potency since you're in heat. We can't have you becoming a father too soon." She instructed him. Izuku nodded in understanding.
"Also, not to hurry you up, but you should start to think about which girl you will choose and ask her out as soon as possible. Like I said before, the more you wait the worse it will get until at a certain point either you or the girls can't take it anymore."
"Keep in mind that your pheromones are very effective on females with animal traits from this world and female Faunuses from Remnant, which provokes their own heat periods. I recommend that you go for a girl that you genuinely like, not just lust."
"Is there a girl that you like here?" She asked him.
"...There's one… a friend of mine from the classroom." Izuku replied softly as he tilted his head down.
"That's ideal. The lucky girl should be very affected by your pheromones so you won't have to worry that she will say no." The nurse explained.
"..." Izuku's eyes remained fixed on the floor as he rubbed his left arm.
"If you're worried if the relationship will be purely sexual, don't. The pheromones would have also affected her feelings, so even if they are off her system, her feelings for you would be genuine. Yours are no normal pheromones after all, they also can affect the emotions of the receiver. Sadly that means that you might have to play the heartbreaker, but it's better for the other girls to go through a few days of blues and ice cream jars than going at each other's throats or worse, going yandere."
Izuku's blood froze at the prospect. His mind would break if he ends up being chased by crazy yanderes from every single corner, with that crazy of Toga is more than enough!
"The thought of attracting yanderes... Holy Dio in heaven! Well, at least there shouldn't be any concerns coming out of this….I want to hope, but highly doubt! The fallacies of being a timid shounen!"
The Faunus boy nodded at the old lady in understanding, his face was still pale from the dreadful thought. "Now then, lunch break is almost done, you should go back to your classes and don't forget everything I just told you." Recovery Girl instructed.
"Yes, I will." Izuku nodded.
"Funny how you look so pessimistic right now, any other guy would be running laps of victory around the whole campus if he heard he could ask out the girl they want and know she will say yes, on top of enjoying constant sexual activity in an all but assured loving relationship." She said to him in an attempt to cheer him up with the bright side of this.
"I won't lie, all of that sounds amazing, it's just that I never thought it would be like this, even less with the pressure of having a possibility of either yande-calipsys or me becoming a depraved rapepy animal hanging over my head." The emerald teen rubbed the back of his head, sweating a bit nervously.
"As long as you follow the steps, everything should go back to normal soon enough. It will be alright." She smiled at him.
"Yeah, you're right. Thank you, Recovery Girl." The boy bowed down in gratitude. He said his goodbyes before leaving to go to the rest of his classes.
Izuku returned to Heights Alliance a little after six in the evening. Instead of eating dinner with the others, he took his dinner-to-go and went straight to his dorm. It was fine as Kacchan and Fumikage were still debating their issues regarding strengths, weaknesses, and each other's mothers.
Eating his taiyakisoba in peace, his eyes were at his desk, looking at the blank screen on his cell phone. "So, I am gonna do this! I am gonna call Ochako. My crush, the girl I have feelings for in order to quell this tormentor in my pants? If I go through with it, Ochako becomes mine. If I don't, I am gonna be confined or held hostage by the girls until various hero agencies, the FBI, and Interpol come in. I don't know what's worse. Okay, Izuku, breathe in and out… You can do this, you can do this! I just hope we can at least go on three dates before jumping the gun, or rather jump to the bed…"
He knew prolonging the inevitable was futile. Moving his plate aside, he punched the numbers to contact Ochako. As the line trilled, he was already having second thoughts. What if I apply enhanced ingredients to that numbing cream….
"Hello? Izuku?!"
It was now zero hour. Uraraka was on the other line. "Hum...good eveni...no, hey, O-O-Ochako!"
"Hey! Awesome that we are speaking on a first name basis now."
He swallowed the lump in his throat. His heart was pounding. He was feeling the sweat flowing down to his butt. His penis was hardening…. "Are...are...are...you free to t-t-talk?"
"Anything for you, Izuku." She giggled. "S-sorry! Just still getting used to saying your name."
"Y-y-yeah!" He licked his dry lips. "D-d-d-do y-y-y-you have plans t-t-this S-s-s-saturday?"
There was a pregnant pause. The emerald-haired Faunus wasn't sure if she was thinking of her options or coming up with an excuse.
"Nope," she said matter-of-factly. "I'm completely open."
"And so would that pussy of yours...what the hell am I thinking?" The sooner he makes his dream of having Ochako the sooner his normal brain functions will be restored. "Cool! I was wondering if you want to go out….for a movie or something." "So, afterwards we can make our own movie. Might be a short film...what the hell, Izuku!?" Yep, this is the right call, literally...
"Sure...I am game for a movie," replied Ochako happily.
"Great," he replied. "Then maybe afterwards, we can go and get pizza." "What I am really craving for is a piece of that hot and ready giblet pie you got there, Ochako!" Izuku reached for his hand to slap himself. "Ouch!"
"You're okay?"
"Yeah! I saw a roach and tried to smash it but instead smashed my foot against the table," he lied to her.
"Gross! Roaches are icky! It could get messy when killing them."
"Trust me we are definitely going to get messy, Ochako! Sticky, sweaty, covered in our...shut the hell up, slutty me! My God, how can Mineta-kun live like this?!" He now knows how it is to have a dirty mind like that midget and a part of him hates it while the other… actually he is scared of looking into that…
"Pizza and a movie? That sounds great! Shall we do it around seven o'clock," asked Ochako.
"That late?!"
"Is that a problem?"
"Well...no! Just wondering is all."
"It's cheap with students at the movie theatre and plus, Yanagi-san's cousin has an arcade and restaurant that makes great pizza."
"I forgot that Yanagi-san's cousin runs that arcade," thought Izuku to himself.
"Plus, it won't be as hot and it would be a lot cooler, you know," said Ochako.
"Okay! Seven o'clock Saturday. Pick you up at your dorm?"
"Let's meet outside of the common room instead."
"Okay!"
"It's a date! Later, Deku...Izuku!"
She hung up the phone. Izuku placed the phone back on his desk. "I have a date! I have a date!" His eyes widened! "Oh, heaven's gate, I have a date!" He stood up from his chair and brought his arms up. "YEAH!" He cheered excitedly, he feels like he's a top of the freaking world!
Then reality set in. "The guys?! What would they say? What would they think? What wisecracks does Kacchan have in mind?"
Ochako was literally floating. It may not be on Cloud Nine, but it wouldn't be long before she would be floating on Izuku's fluffy cloud. She was swimming in the air, excited and ecstatic that her first date was going to be with the Faunus of her dreams. She was that excited that she used her Zero Gravity on herself by accident.
Then her eyes widened. "Oh, God! This is serious! I have a date...with Izuku! What to do!? What to do? How should I dress?!" She began to frown. "Who to tell?" Then the thought of her friend came to mind. She undid her Quirk and landed back on her bed. "Before I would go straight to the girls and ask for serious help, but now…" She knew she couldn't do that as things are now. "*Sigh* It's still hard to believe that the others also like Izuku, even less that we all had to make a pact to not intervene with each other in attempts of pursuing him and inform the others when one of us makes a move on him."
She still remembers that girl's night a week ago when everyone finally admitted their mutual feeling for Deku, of course they all knew this even before then. As a means of keeping their friendship, they had to come to this agreement, but it did not make it any less painful to see her Deku being dragged around by those bit-... the other girls. Luckily she knows none of them crossed the one line they all swore to not cross: They all have to take an oath of not forcing themselves on precious Izuku. For starters that would be rape, on top of being illegal and leave poor Izuku traumatized, it would make them yandere no better than that bitch of Toga…
"Ooh…! If that good for nothing blood sucking slut even dares to breathe the air he breathes out…!" It's no secret that Toga became enemy no.1 for Ochako and the rest of the girls, so if that Villainess tried to even touch a single strand of Izuku's hair… well, she will be the one bleeding for a change…
Speaking of enemies…
Hatsume would be another threat if she weren't still under arrest. Her 'opsie' brought a silver lining: Izuku is even cuter than before and he is doing better than ever. The very bad thing is that the other girls became Deku-sexual for some reason, they are aware, and they don't care about how or why, they just accepted it. So now she is forced to compete with her group of friends for Izuku's heart. So while Izuku gained a lot from becoming an Alpha Faunus, Ochako felt like she lost a lot. Giving her even more reasons to make that wanna-be scientist shrew floating to the freaking moon!
"Ugh…! Call yourself lucky that Izuku cares about you, bitch…" As much as her hatred for that busty slut increased, she can't do anything about her. She is friends with Izuku and he would get upset if something happens to her. Even if he gets with Ochako, there won't be any way to change his mind about Hatsume, so she just better learn to deal with it, unless she tries to do something else on what is hers…
"Don't think about those whores, Ochako. They bring out your worst side." She took a deep breath and focused on what 's important: Her date with Izuku. "*Sigh* If only I could ask Yao-momo or the others for something a little more fancy… " Her clothes were plain, the only actual dress she has is the one from that party at I-Island. Izuku loved it, but it would be too much for a simple first date. She can't ask for help from the girls because part of the pact was: Each woman for herself. No help of any kind.
"Hmph! Whatever, I will do just fine without any of them! Heh, I can almost see the look on their faces when I tell them that Izuku asked me for a date and I didn't seduce him into doing it or anything, he came to me on his own! Yeah, sure, I might have missed my chances earlier on when I had the free way, but! Even with all those other girls flocking around him, some being more forward than others, Izuku ended up going for ME, I knew he was into me all along! In your face bitches! Ohh I can't wait to rub it on their faces…! On second thought, I think I won't tell me and just have them watch in shock as I leave for the night with him for our date! Aw yeah, the look on their bitchy faces will be priceless!" A smug smile appeared on her face and her thoughts turned competitive. "Wow… Okay, that was a little too much." She blinked two, now she just realized that she got carried away with those thoughts. Sometimes her thoughts turned… yandere-ish. Mostly every time she saw Deku going off with any of the girls. Lucky that's just as far as they got, it would be concerning if her thoughts went the staby-staby-stab-stab direction, at least with her friends. "Remember, Ochako. They are your friends and this is a fair competition. Is Izuku the most perfect man in both worlds? Yes. Do you want to marry him and have many bunny babies with him? Absolutely. But is he worthy of losing your best friends forever? No, no guy is worth that much. I love hanging out with them and they feel the same. It's just jealousy, possessiveness and competitiveness speaking." She had to remind herself that they, at the end of all, are friends.
Even if they are after the same guy, they must keep their bonds of friendship they all cherish. It was about who the best woman was and right now, Ochako knew she was that woman. "Okay, I'll tell you before I go out with him. But first things first, I need clothes for the occasion. *Sigh* I didn't want to resort to this, but this is my first date for God's sake! I think Mom and Dad will understand that this is a necessary investment and hopefully one that they don't want to ask too many questions about." She decided to call her parents. Unless strictly necessary she would call them to help her with money, given that her family is still having a difficult time with their construction company. And right now she needs money to buy the right clothes for her date with her sweet bunny!
"Oh, right… I should dress up first…" She just remembered that earlier she felt really hot and bothered under the collar again, so she was 'venting the heat'. Right when she was basking in the afterglow was when Deku called her. "Heh, a few seconds earlier and he would have heard me moan. Hmm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea, something to remember me when we can't be together~" She said to herself with a seductive smile.
Ochako went to grab her clothes and dress up before calling her parents. She must be ready for the best date ever and it will be perfect!
