Izuku sat next to Tsuyu across from her parents, his hands trembling with anxiety. Her parents just stared at him with deadpanned expressions, waiting for him to say something, anything, that could prove that he was not fit to date their daughter. Said daughter grabbed onto her date's hand to calm him down.

'I can do this. I've faced off against so many villains, talked with supervillains face to face, and even escaped death several times. Why should this be any different?'

He took in a breath. "So, would you like some tea?"

The father, Ganma, grunted. "I'm a coffee drinker, so no thanks." The mother just shook her head. "I'm not thirsty, but thank you anyways."

Izuku groaned internally. 'Well, that was a bust. Ummm, let's try this.' He smiled. "So, how about this weather, eh? Nice and sunny, just perfect." The parents just continued staring at him.

He started sweating. 'Okay, maybe not the best plan.' Tsuyu glanced at him, noting how nervous he really was. She looked at her parents. "Ribbit, if you two could please stop making him feel like he's about to be executed, that would be nice. I'd really rather not have him pass out of anxiety before our date." Her parents conceded, both heads in a slight bow of apology. The mother smiled softly. "Of course. We're just really concerned for you, Tsuyu."

"What is your occupation, Mr. Midoriya?" The father asked.

Izuku shook out of his stupor. "I'm a counselor and dean of students at U.A. High, and I work with the students on quirk analysis. I help them utilize their quirks better in battle, support, and general life. I've helped your daughter several times, as well as her closest friends."

"And how old are you, Mr. Midoriya?"

He didn't flinch. "I'm fifteen years old, sir." His heart beat faster at the unbelieving expression of the father. 'He doesn't believe me?!' "Um, sir, is there an issue?"

The man narrowed his eyes. "So you're a faculty member of the school where Tsuyu attends, and at fifteen years of age?" He leaned in, close enough so that Izuku could smell a slight trace of cigarette smoke wisping from the frog like throat. "Tell me, what is your quirk?" Izuku's eyes widened immensely, clearly not expecting the insinuating topic.

"Ganma, that's enough!"

The father chuckled, leaning back into his seat. "My apologies, I believe I went a tad too far." Izuku stiffened at that, noticing the look in his eyes.

His words were apologetic, but his gaze spoke otherwise. 'He knew what he was doing!' He glanced at Tsuyu, a smile overtaking his nerves. "It's alright, Mrs. Asui, I'll tell him." He smiled softly. "I'm quirkless. I've never had a quirk, nor wanted one." His eyes hardened with resolve at the light gasps from the parents. "I worked hard for what I have and who I have. Clearly Tsuyu doesn't view me any different, and even if the rest of the world sees me as useless, a Deku, her opinion of me matters more! I don't see anyone with mutant quirks or without any different from the other!"

He grasped his date's hand. "I love your daughter, Mr. Asui, her differences be damned. I told her this before, and I'll tell you now, she's my hero! She saved my daughter and son, she's unbelievably amazing, and she's an excellent student. No one can tell me any different!" He simmered down, his heart racing. He smiled at the girl, squeezing her hand a couple times. "I'm so lucky to have her. I don't know what I'd do without her." 'Or the other girls, as a matter of fact, but they don't need to know that right now.' His eyes shifted to the stunned expressions of her parents.

'Oh crap. They hate my guts right now, don't they?'

A low grumble sounded through the fathers throat, his eyes brimming with humor. "And you're quirkless. Tell me, boy, just how do you think you will defend her without any power? And you say you're fifteen, but you have two kids. Please enlighten me, how does that happen?" He crossed his arms. "I'm waiting."

The other three in the room were in shock, and two were blushing in embarrassment. Before Beru could speak, her daughter stood abruptly. "Who do you think you are?"

The parents gasped, her father being of no exception. He narrowed his eyes further at the glare his eldest daughter sent him. "Tsuyu, be a dear and sit down. This conversation has nothing to do with you."

"Yes it does, ribbit! I want to date him, and he is the most caring, responsible, amazing, and fun person to be around! I don't feel like I did in middle school around him!" Her parents stared her in awe at that, but she didn't let up. "You two were informed that I was injured in Hosu, right?" The two nodded. She smiled at the vigilante, who was just as shocked as they were. "Well, Izuku saved me. When I was shot, ribbit, he threw his entire body over me, taking the katana that sunk through his entire body. He did that without hesitation, ribbit. He saved me from Overhaul after I was kidnapped! He showed me that I am beautiful, and that I can be a better hero than anyone else! So why treat him like this, dad?" Her eyes brimmed with tears, threatening to break out.

"Mom, dad, I love him very much. Why are you trying to take this from me?"

Her parents looked at her in stunned silence, while Izuku looked to be on the verge of crying himself. He immediately grabbed onto the girl and wrapped himself around her, allowing her to cry her frustration away.

While the father scoffed at the interaction, her mother smiled warmly. "Ganma, if that's how she feels, why doubt the boy? Obviously he can take care of himself and her. And he looks to be great with kids!" She cleared her throat, catching the attention of the duo. "Mr. Midoriya, why don't you two go on, enjoy your date. I'll take care of Ganma on the way home. Tsuyu, why don't you gather your siblings, tell them it's time to go?"

The girl nodded and pecked her date on the cheek before leaving.

The mother glared at her husband before resting her eyes on the vernadette. "Make sure she gets home by ten. It's a school night, as you already know. Treat her well, Mr. Midoriya. I don't want to have a case of a missing boy falling into the wrong hands, now do we?" Her eyes narrowed in a coy manner, waiting for him to make the wrong move.

It was as if she was a snake and he a mouse.

Izuku paled. 'She's actually more terrifying than her husband, that's for sure.' He nodded vigorously, arms trembling. "Yes ma'am! Ten tonight, on the dot! You got it!"

The three could all hear the oncoming steps of three, and Beru smiled brightly at the boy. "Great! Now, you two have fun, just not too much fun, got that? Tsuyu is much too young to be a mother."

Izuku blushed up a storm at the implication.

Tsuyu eventually returned to his side, and both waved off the mother and grumbling father. After the door closed, Tsuyu turned to Izuku. "What did she say to you?"

"Oh! Uh, nothing! Nothing at all!"

"If you say so."

"I'll say bye to the kids, then we'll be off."

"Are you sure she didn't say anything to weird you out about me?"

"Yup! Don't worry about it!"


"So, where do you want to eat?" The two were climbing on top of the motorcycle, with Tsuyu sitting just behind the vigilante. She placed a finger to her lips, and hummed. "I'm not sure, what do you want to eat?"

He smiled. "Your pick. I can eat anything."

She shook her head. "I want to eat something you want."

"But I want what you want."

"Same here! Just pick something, ribbit!"

"How about Katsudon!"

"Fine!"

"Great!"

And off they went, speeding off on a motorcycle, laughing to their heart's content.

They arrived at a small restaurant, not too shabby nor extravagant. Just a run of the mill place. It was one of Izuku's favorites, as he had brought Eri and Kota here before. He treated Kirishima to a bite here too, now that he thought about it. And now he got to bring one of the girls he cared for here too.

The restaurant staff was going to tease him so much if he brought the whole group over. They already called his small group his family.

Not that he minded.

"Ribbit, is this the place?"

"What, you don't like it?"

She croaked, shaking her head. "No, I just feel like I overdressed for a restaurant like this. It feels more casual."

He bent down after hopping off the cycle, helping her off the vehicle. "You look perfect. You can never be too under or overdressed when you're having fun, right?"

She smiled. "Alright, let's get a table."

Izuku grinned, once again admiring his date. "Did I ever say how good you look tonight, Ms. Asui?"

She giggled as he opened the door. "Yes you did, a couple times, in fact, ribbit." She then smirked, leaning towards him as they walked. "But you could mention it more." She winked as she took his elbow and increased their pace.

Izuku blushed at the sudden contact before it increased as he registered what she said. He stammered, not quite finding the right words for his situation. He relaxed as she giggled.

"Izuku, you're too easy." She continued to giggle as they were led to their seats. He muttered, himself finding a smile reaching his face.

As they gave their drink orders, she hummed while reading the menu, but Izuku froze.

'Oh no.'

In the distance he saw Todoroki, Kirishima, and Shouto all smiling at him.

'How did they find me? I was so sure I didn't tell them about the date at all! So when-'

He mentally groaned. 'Hatsume. I should have known they'd bribe her to track me.'


Days earlier:

"Come again?" A pink dreadlocked girl stared at three boys in bewilderment. Kirishima, Shinso, and Todoroki all grinned at her, causing suspicion to bubble up in her.

The redhead smiled, shark like teeth exposed. "Some friends of ours told us Quirkless is going on a date, and we want to track him using a tracking device on this phone." He held up a smartphone and tossed it into her hand. "We'd like for you to install a tracker on this, Hatsume."

The girl only stared at him. "How did you get this from him? He's super tough to steal from."

The purple headed one smirked. "Not important, just use one of your inventions to hack into it. Wait, you've attempted to steal from him?"

Mei glanced at the phone curiously as she waved off his question. "And what will I get in return?"

A red and white haired boy nodded. "You can use any of us to test your babies on."

The zoom user grinned maniacally. "Consider it done!" She sped towards her tools. "I'll have it done in an hour."

The redhead glanced at her in wonder. "Who will you use for your babies?"

"All of you, and I need you all for this weekend! Now leave me!"

The three were not looking forward to that weekend.


"Izuku, is something wrong?"

He looked at his date, and frowned at her worried expression. He waved his hands left and right. "Yeah, yeah, everything is fine! No problems at all!"

"Okay, Izuku, don't freak out on me. I know it's your first date with a pretty girl." She chuckled at her small joke as she looked back on the menu.

She missed Izuku mouthing "GET OUT" towards a group in the distance.

Sighing in defeat, he relented to looking at the menu. He already knew what he was getting. Looking at her (and blushing at how cute she was), he smiled. 'I can't believe I'm this lucky.' "What are you thinking of getting, Tsuyu?"

"Maybe the Katsudon, like you mentioned. I think I'll get the chicken, ribbit."

"A good choice! I usually get the pork cutlet but chicken tastes great regardless."

"Mhmm." She glanced up and paled when she spotted a group in the distance. 'Oh no.'

In the distance sat Momo, Jirou, Yui, and Mina. All sweating bullets when they realized they were spotted. Izuku missed her mouthing "LEAVE" as he skimmed the desert menu.

Tsuyu was panicking. Obviously she didn't want their date spoiled because of nosy friends. She stopped when she felt his hand intertwining with hers. She smiled meekly at the concerned look her date provided. "Izuku…"

The girls are here too, I imagine?"

"Yeah…"

"The guys are too. Now, do you want to do with them?"

"Ribbit. I'm not sure. I'd rather just enjoy the date. If they get too close I'm sure we can take care of them."

Izuku smiled warmly. "If that's what you want. After dinner I have something I really want to show you."

She nodded. "Okay."

A server arrived, and Izuku smiled; Tsuyu blinked in surprise. "Welcome to Atkashi kitchen. My name is Denki, and I'll be your server today. Can I get you two started with something to drink?"

Tsuyu could only stare. Denki Kaminari, her classmate, worked here? Wasn't his family well off? By what he wore, owned, and behaved, she never took him for needing a job.

Or was this for something else?

"We'll both have water, thank you Denks." The frog-like girl couldn't help but feel a slight relief at her date's reassuring smile. She felt at ease, as if nothing could touch them.

She croaked. "Since when do you call him "Denks", or even know him?"

He smiled at her. "It's a personal matter, and his. Just know that I've known him for a little while."

"You're not dating him, are you ribbit?"

"Of course not!"

She pressed a finger to her mouth, suddenly in a teasing mood. "I wonder how the other girls will react to this? We're gonna have some real competition. I mean, Kaminari isn't the worst looking guy in 1-A."

"I'm not bi!"

"But you may be gay?"

"Of course not!" His head slumped to the table. "You're so cruel. Why must the cruel be so beautiful?"

She blushed at the comment. Gripping his palm, she giggled. "Relax, ribbit, I was just teasing you. Your business is yours. If you wanted to say something you would."

He sighed. "I'll tell you when the time is right. Don't worry about my sexuality though. I'm straight as uncooked pasta. Can we move on to something else?"

"Ribbit. What were your parents like? I know a small bit about your mom, but nothing about your dad." She flinched at the way he sunk into his seat. "I'm sorry if I got a sore spot. I'm just curious. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, ribbit."

He shook his head, a small smile reassuring her. "It's okay, I can talk about them."

He looked up, nostalgia glazing over his eyes. "My mom was the sweetest woman this world had ever known. She supported me in everything I wanted to do, well except being a hero. She was always afraid I'd get hurt, but never showed it. Her fear was only natural, I suppose, with me being quirkless and all." Tsuyu wanted to say something, but held back.

"My mom always cooked the best dishes I'd ever eat. Sometimes I wish I could ask her how to deep fry the pork for Katsudon; she always knew how to cook it just right." He chuckled. "She was always trying to make sure I was happy and safe. Although she never knew about my beatings from Bakugou. I never wanted to worry her, but what can I say? Worry and fear run in the family. Her side, actually."

He glanced at her, satisfied in her listening. "My dad, though, I don't remember much from him. His quirk was fire breathing, but I don't have any memories of watching him spit out flames. I do see some coverage of him from American news sources, though. He's a hero there, and I doubt he remembers me. My mom used to think he left because of me being quirkless, and he didn't like it. I used to think that it was my fault for him leaving us, but over the years I realized it was all on him. I didn't need him then, don't need him now."

He turned to his date, who sported a worried expression. "Tsuyu?"

"I'm sorry, ribbit."

He smiled. "Don't be. I'm happy to talk about it with you. I feel more at ease with you then anyone."

Her eyes widened. "Oh! Uh, ribbit."

He laughed. "Too cute." He giggled harder at her covering her face. "So tell me, who's your favourite hero?"

She placed a finger on her chin. "I'm not sure I have one."

He smiled. "Well, if you had one hero you'd look up to more than anything, who would it be?"

"You."

He blinked. "Wha?"

She blushed. "You're so selfless, ribbit. You're humble, you go out of your way to assist others, even someone like me. You don't have any powers, but that just makes you more special. And you're great with kids, which is a plus for me."

Now it was his turn to blush. "Um, thanks."

Her tongue extended to his cheek, which was her way of pecking it. "Don't mention it."

"Who ordered the Pork?"

Both looked over at a smiling Denki, who held a tray of dishes on his shoulder, seemingly without effort. "Sorry to interrupt, I just have a few tables to attend to."

Izuku grinned. "Don't worry about it, thanks for the service."

"You can thank me by enjoying your food. Our chefs are hard workers."

"Of course." Izuku waved at the moving Denki, who smiled at their date. Denki grinned. 'How can they be so pure?'

Tsuyu smiled shyly at her date, her eyes following her date's every expression. 'So cute.' She dug in, her eyes glazing with joy. "This is good!" She mumbled after every bite.

He laughed. "You can see why katsudon is my favorite." She nodded.


{a few tables away}

Kyoka cooed at the date's reactions to the other. "Is it bad that I'm a tiny bit jealous, even though we gave her first dibs?"

Momo nodded, her cheeks reddening at the sight of the green haired date's laughter. "I am too, but it's only fair to her. I would say for Izuku too, but I know he's wanted to go out with all of us for a while."

"Are you all finally ready to order or are you content with spying on Quirkless?"

Every girl gave an "eep" as they looked at their server.

"Kaminari?"

He gave a toothy grin. "In the flesh!"

Jirou gave him a deadpan stare. "Since when do you serve food? I thought you wanted to be a hero?"

The blond smiled sheepishly. "I have a debt to pay, plus it would be good to have a backup plan in case heroism didn't work out. Who knows, maybe I can be an experienced chef one of these days!" His eyes widened. "But please don't tell anyone that I work here! No one has to know!"

Jirou snorted. "And what would you do if I don't do as you say?"

"I'll tell everyone you play music!"

This time her eyes widened. "You wouldn't!"

"Try me." And with that, he walked away, preparing to welcome a new pair of customers.

"Kyoka, you play music?"

She swiveled her head towards Yui, who tilted her head in wonder. "What? No! It's just a hobby of mine, nothing major!"

"Kyoka…"

"And how the hell is it his business what I can or can't do! It's not reasonable!"

"Kyoka…"

"And the nerve of that guy! Trying to spill my secrets! I outta-"

"Kyoka! Over there!" Mina's hushed voice was more than enough to break Kyoka from her rambling.

"Huh?" She swerved to head to the green haired duo, her eyes widening when she watched as Tsuyu gently (but firmly) wiped her napkin on the vigilantes cheek.

To say she was jealous was an understatement.

Momo and Mina had to physically hold her back. "She's stealing MY move! Let me go! I should've had first dibs!" Memories of her and Izuku's kiss from the raid played nonstop in her mind. "He's mine!"

Momo eyed her friend with worry. "Kyoka! Stand down! You're gonna cause a scene!"

All went silent as the group of women look at Tsuyu as she turned to them, the tip of her tongue out of her mouth cutely, teasing them.

Momo saw red. 'THAT WOMAN! THE NERVE!'

It was this time that Yui and Mina had to hold the two girls back as they struggled to claim what they wanted.

Tsuyu giggled.

"Tsuyu? What's so funny?"

She turned to her date. "Nothing, Izu. For once, absolutely nothing." She smiled as she pecked her date on the cheek.

Izuku smiled back. "In that case, I think we should get moving, I have more I want to show you."

"Ribbit."

"Denks! Check please!"


"Izu, this- this is too fast!"

The driver laughed as he caught the frog like girl's Sunday from blowing away. "We haven't gone full speed yet!"

"Ribbit!"

And true to Izuku's word, they drove even faster, forcing Tsuyu to clutch onto her date's waist even tighter. Not that Izuku complained.

It was part of his plan, after all.

"Hold on tight, Tsuyu!"

"I am!"

They were approaching a rising bridge, and Izuku's plan went to action. Driving onto the bridge, he pumped the gas to the highest acceleration. "Hold on!"

"Izu!"

The drive off the edge, the bike seemingly frozen in the sky as the soared. Tsuyu gasped in amazement as she looked around; the lowering sun, the birds flying, the wind blowing through her hair and dress, it felt...

Freeing.

She felt on top of the world, similar to how she felt jumping off the rooftop for the first time. Snuggling into her date, her ribbits were silent.

The only other sound present was the laughter coming out of Izuku's throat. Within a few seconds they were back on the ground, and speeding forward.

"What a rush, huh Tsuyu?" Hearing no response, he slowed the bike down. "Tsuyu?"

"Izu…"

He stopped the bike. Facing her, he held her hand in worry. "Tsuyu, I'm here. What's going on?"

"That…"

'Oh no…'

"That was amazing, ribbit! When we were flying! And the wind! That was so cool!" Her smile blinded him. He stared at her in wonder.

Has she always been this expressive?

Shaking the thoughts from his head. He chuckled, which increased to side splitting laughter. His date only tilted her head in curiosity. "Was it something I said?"

He shook his head, some giggles making their way out. "No, Tsuyu, that's not it at all. I've just never seen you so excited."

Her head fell, now brimmed with worry.

"It was beautiful. I wish you did that more often. I liked the look in your eyes." She could only stare at him, mouth agape. Hopping onto the bike, he squeezed her hand. "Now, I want to show you something before taking you home." Without further ado, they sped off.

Eventually, the couple ended up near a vacant, green filled area. Ferns, moss, and various cattails surrounds a water lily covered pond, with various dragonflies, lightning bugs, and water bugs moving around the vicinity. The water reflected the fading purples, oranges, and reds while embracing the darkening blues that stretched the skies. The sounds of frogs, crickets, and scattering animals filled what was left of the airwaves. What caught Tsuyu's eyes were the amounts of flowers that naturally decorated throughout the grasses.

The two walked hand in hand to a bench that was placed just before the water started, and Izuku smiled at an awestruck Tsuyu, and pecked her temple.

"You like what you see?"

Her breath hitched just a bit at the quiet question. Looking around, her eyes drank in the sights that would never cease to amaze her. She rested her eyes at her date once again as she kissed him in his cheek. "How did you know that ponds-?" She was cut off by a small giggle from the vernadette. "What?"

He squeezed her hand lightly. "Just a gut feeling." He grinned. "I had a lot of fun tonight, Tsuyu."

"Isn't that what you say at the end of the date, ribbit?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"That may be, but do you really want this date to end?"

She sighed, letting go of his hand. "Of course not, but mom and dad...they'll be mad if I get home past curfew."

"Then let's just stay, for a little while." Izuku was surprised at how smooth his words were. Usually he'd be a mess at this point.

She smiled. "You're right." She elected to snuggle into his shoulder, enjoying this view for just a while more. She almost giggled at the tentative arm that wrapped around her. It wasn't like she was going to stop it.

Then, an idea came to mind.

Without a second thought, she sat up from her previous position and cupped her hand under Izuku's chin. Her eyes filled with passion as she moved her lips closer to his, and forced herself not to laugh at his bewildered expression. Soon enough, their lips connected, and it felt like fireworks erupted in her!

It might have been seconds, or even minutes since she started the kiss, but to them, it was a millennia. Izuku's brain went into overdrive as his body continued the kiss; his heart beat so quickly that he felt it was about to burst!

After a moment, they parted, one pair of eyes looking into the other. He smiled. "Wow."

She giggled.

He just looked at her, taking in her entire appearance. Had he really not completely registered how amazing she looked tonight? Of course he did, but in the moonlight she looked especially gorgeous. He wished he could stop time for a second just to have hours to be with her.

Wait, time?

'FUCK!!!'

He glanced at his watch. 9:30. He had half an hour to drop her off. Her parents are going to kill him. "Tsuyu-"

She sighed, disappointment clear in her eyes. "I know, ribbit. Time to go."

He gave her a sad smile. "I'm sorry."

"Let's just go."

Izuku could only nod. Allowing for his date to perch herself onto the vehicle, he slipped into his seat. He may have been a little surprised when he felt her hands wrap around him, squeezing into his waist. He looked over his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

She nodded mutely.

"Tsuyu, are you mad at me?"

She shook her head.

"Are you sure? Was it something I did?"

"I don't want this to end."

"I know, I don't either. I just don't want to be in an obituary in the morning." He turned. "I really want to be with you."

"Me too."

Starting the bike, he sped off towards her home, Tsuyu giving directions along the way.


"Tsuyu, I had a great time tonight. The vernadette smiled as his date walked up the steps to her house. "You were stunning tonight." He paled a bit. "And everyday! I don't want you to think that-" a giggle quieted him.

Tsuyu blushed. "I know what you mean. I had fun too. Maybe next time you can take me to the beach, ribbit? I've never been before."

"There's a next time?"

She walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his waist. "I think after the pond you've earned a second date." She placed a chaste kiss on his lips, giggling once again at his reddening face.

His smile broke out into a grin. "I'd like that." He glanced at his watch. "9:55. I think I get to live another day."

Tsuyu nodded. "Even if they tried to kill you I'd stop them. But what should we do with these next five minutes? My curfew is at ten, ribbit?"

Just before he spoke, his mind went aflame. So many ideas, but he'd just waste time sorting through them. So he did what was natural.

He kissed her.

It wasn't like the small pecks and kisses they've exchanged before. This was different. As their lips connected, a hunger in the teens grew, and eventually their kiss deepened, allowing Tsuyu to explore Izuku's mouth.

It was an...experience...to say the least.

Izuku knew they'd done something like this before, but this was different. This was when they were starting to become more official, which was special for him.

Seconds felt like hours, minutes felt like years. Eventually they had to split apart. She hugged Izuku.

"Thank you for an amazing time, ribbit. I'm definitely looking forward to the next. Her tongue shot out and tapped his cheek, and was gone as fast as it appeared. "Drive safely, text me when you get home! I need to make sure you're okay."

He felt a smile creep into his lips. "Don't worry Tsuyu, I'll contact you the second I pull into the driveway. I'll see you at school!" He waved as he walked to his bike. He propped himself onto it, waiting as she walked inside.

When the door closed, he blushed profusely. 'I just had a date with Tsuyu, and I didn't ruin it!!!'

He cheered the whole time he went home. Sighing in glee, he shot Tsuyu a text when he placed his bike in the garage, and lit up when she sent him a good night text.

"So I'd say you have a great time!"

He almost screamed as the small form of Nezu and the teachers of UA (in casual wear) walked out of the bushes. He glared at them. "And how long were you all watching me and Tsuyu?"

Present Mic and Power Loader rushed Izuku and held him in a hug, both squealing. "You two were just adorable, Izuku! You didn't tell us you had those moves!" Present Mic practically screamed into his ears. "Teach us your ways! Especially Shouta. He hasn't had a date in years!"

"It's been months, Hisashi. Ryuko and I agreed it wouldn't work out."

"More like you didn't. She was on your arm like glue."

The drowsy man sighed. "And that's why it wouldn't work."

Izuku laughed. "I can't believe you, Eraserhead, got a date with Ryuku. Ryuku! And here I thought you had a thing for Nemuri." It was a small blush and short pause that gave him away. Izuku gasped. "No way! You have a thing for her?!"

He was stopped when Aizawa rushed to him and looked down into his eyes, his own glowing red. "If you don't shut up I'll hand you over to Recovery Girl and tell her you broke all four of your limbs." Izuku nodded dumbly, shivering at what the youthful heroine might do to him.

Aizawa walked towards the group, the rest in confusion for what just happened. They didn't ask since they received a look that forced them to drop the subject. Stepping into Hisashi's van, he didn't bother to look at the group as he spoke.

"I'm going to sleep. Need to prepare for tonight's shift. Do not bother me."

And with that, they watched him roll the window up and snore away. The teachers laughed. Sekijiro shook his head. "Always sleeping away. It's a wonder how he runs 1-A. Anyways." He clapped Izuku on the shoulder. "Time to go. We all have school tomorrow. Good job today. Congrats on you two and your blossoming relationship. I'll help you out anyway I can if you go for the other girls too."

Izuku blushed. "Who told-" his eyes shifted to a whistling Nezu. "You."

Nezu glanced at his watch nervously. "Would you look at the time! Like Sekjiro said, we do have classes, so… bye!" And before Izuku could chase after him, Nezu was gone.

Snipe shook his head. "Little does he remember that I'm his ride." He patted Izuku on the shoulder. "See you tomorrow, bring the kids, if you can. I want to show them the miracles of American Nerf shooting. It's fake bullets, but real fun."

Izuku smiled appreciatively. "Will do. They'll just love that, especially Eri. She's been taking a shining onto my weapons. Lately I've had to hide my shurikens from her." He shivered at the memory of peeling Shouto from his living room wall. "See ya!" He turned towards the 1-B instructor. "See you tomorrow, I'll let you know if I need anything. Same for you, Hisashi." The blond gave him a side hug as he beamed.

Seeing that the rest of the teachers all filed away, he sighed. Walking inside, he sighed a breath of relief, grateful that he can finally relax. 'It's pretty late. What time is it anyways?' Glancing at his phone, he paled.

"She's going to kill me."

"Not just that, Mr. Midoriya, I'm going to rip each of your limbs off and have you pray to whatever god is out there that you develop a regeneration quirk."

He slowly turned towards the borderline murderous voice. He waved weakly. "Hey Fumi. How was work?" He ducked under a vase that was thrown at him.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS?!"

Izuku gulped. He turned towards Shouto, who had been slurping on cold soba the whole time. "Shouto! Buddy! Please help."

"How will you pay me?"

"What?"

Shouto nodded. "Freeing you from her wrath demands payment. As you already know, her tornado of anger is already difficult to escape from. Only those exclusive to the Todoroki family know exactly how to dodge the bullet."

"Ummm, anything!"

"Even a free trip to one of your nightly patrols?"

"You already do that!"

"Hmm, then how about you set me up with a nice bowl of soba tomorrow?"

"But- uh- fine! Yeah, whatever you want! Just please get your sister to stop throwing things at me!"

Shouto nodded. "Fuyumi, please. He just had a long day with Tsuyu. They probably made out or something. He's tired, already paid you for babysitting the kids, so lay off for tonight. You have the rest of his existence to knock him senseless." He continued with his soba.

Fuyumi looked conflicted, but eventually stopped. "Fine, but I'll have to charge you a bit of overtime since you were back two hours after you dropped her off. What did you do, smoke a joint or something?"

"The teachers of UA decided to pay me a visit."

She deflated. "Alright, alright. They can't be ignored. I've seen a few of them spy on us, something about them getting some extra playtime with the kids."

"They do like Kota and Eri. Oh yeah, no need to worry about watching them tomorrow. Snipe wants to borrow them and show them a thing or two with nerf shooting."

"As long as they're safe it should be fine."

Izuku didn't exactly glare at her, but his eyes were pretty close to it. "They will be fine. I'm their father, after all."

"Yet I'm the one that watches them more often." She shot back.

"But I have two full time jobs."

"And that's not my fault. I might as well be their mother!"

"And that makes me the father?!"

"Doesn't that sound lovely!"

At this point, the two weren't even sure why they got so heated, it was just the insinuation of both that kept them going. Meanwhile, Shouto was loving this. He never got to see the two this riled up. "Wait until Tensei hears that he's been replaced by Izuku."

The two arguing housemates froze. Fuyumi pointed at herself while Izuku pointed at her. "But Shouto, she's in a relationship with him."

"And I heard that you two are now parents, allegedly."

The two blushed up a storm and crowded around the dual haired boy.

"That's NOT what we meant and you know it!"

"There's NO WAY I'd go out with HER!"

As the two argued with Shouto, he almost laughed.


Asui household

While their date ended hours ago, Tsuyu still squealed at the prospect of dating the newest UA faculty member. She didn't really do anything, for everytime she did something, memories of their date bombarded her mind. She finished calling the other girls, swearing she wasn't stealing Izuku from them (completely), and they grew excited at their own ideas for their first dates with the vernadette.

She was now in the process of brushing her already lengthy hair.

"What should our next date be? Maybe karaoke, ooh! A fair! Maybe the beach like I told him earlier, ribbit."

"Tsuyu? Can I come in?"

She glanced at the door, surprise slightly etched in her stoic expression. 'Mom? Wasn't she already asleep?'

"Sure, ribbit."

Her mom entered, her lips stretched into a grin. Tsuyu wasn't sure why she was so happy, since she was less than impressed by Izuku earlier. Although, she did slightly warm up to him.

"What's going on, ribbit?"

Her mom clapped her hands together. "How was your date? Did he treat you right? Did he make you upset? I'll kick his behind if he did! And if-"

"Mom."

The matriarch paused.

"I had a wonderful time. He took me for dinner, then rode around on his motorcycle, then he took me to a secret pond, and then he brought me here. It was amazing." At this point, she held no effort to hide her glee. She did have the best date of her life, though it was her first date.

Her mother smiled warmly. "I'm glad to hear that."

"How's dad?"

She rolled her eyes. "The same, you know how he is. He's just protective over you. He doesn't want to accept that his baby girl is growing up so quickly. He just got over the fact that you're in high school, UA no less! Just...give him time. He'll warm up to Mr. Midoriya in no time."

"Mom, I saw the look on his face, on Izu's face. I can tell that he was actually hurt by dad's accusations, especially about not being able to take care of me based on him being quirkless." She nodded as the mother sighed.

"I don't know how to make Izu feel welcome in this family because of dad, I just feel like the negative feelings dad gave were something Izu had to endure his entire life, not just recently." She stopped when Beru placed a hand on her leg. She looked at her mother, her worries starting to melt away at the reassuring smile the matriarch gave her.

"If that's how you feel, then tell Mr. Midoriya. Put it out there that this is something you're willing to work on together, as a couple. You should inform him that he doesn't have to work on the oppression of the quirkless by himself. He has support now, if you two choose to pursue this relationship." Her smile spread. "And I can already tell you two are going to be committed."

Tsuyu smiled, gratefulness blossoming within her. "Thanks mom. I really needed that."

The mother hugged Tsuyu. "You know you're always going to be my little tadpole, forever and ever. I know every frog leaves the pond at some point, I just hope you choose to let your father and I be a part of your life. We're not getting any younger, but your decision is yours. Just don't give us grandchildren until you graduate from high school at least, or maybe after some success as the pro hero you're destined to be." She chuckled at the crimson spreading across the vernadette's face. "I'm kidding, of course. Mostly. Good night, Tsuyu, sweet dreams." She closed the door, allowing Tsuyu privacy for the rest of the night.

Tsuyu shook her head. 'She so mischievous, but I'm glad she's on my side as support.'

Despite the teasing from her mother, nothing stopped the smile on Tsuyu's face from vanishing.
