I'm back! There was enough of a negative response to the idea of genderbends that they're not going to show up in this story. And by negative, I mean that I feel like I have 200 guns pointed at my head that'll shut me the fuck down if I so much as think about it. To those of you who did request genderbends, well, I'm sorry. Although I did see some funny ideas down there in the comments.
Also the response to doing a sex scene this early on was about 50/50. Interesting.
BUT that leads me to my next point: if I make a decision that you disagree with and are passionate enough about it, you can totally make another fic where he has the same Quirk as this one. I'm all for that shit; never enough smutty stories, am I right?
And I just saw the movie and it was SO GOOD and the finale of the anime was ALSO GOOD AND MIRIO IS JUST SO GOOD! Back on topic, the 200th manga chapter released as well and it was pretty good.
ONTO REVIEWS (I'm not gonna respond to everyone who just said yay or nay to my questions):
Angryboy13: Damn, you right.
Capito Celcior: That was way too well thought out and I actually laughed. Thank you.
GirugameshPanda: I agree about character development being important in smut stories (heartfelt sex is the best sex).
GodWing30: Actually, that's a good idea about Mineta.
Dragoul Mayol: I actually thought you were trying to emulate Kirishima, this being an MHA story and all.
NPGamer11: A radiation suit would be funny, but I... don't see it happening.
Deadpoolrules66: I genuinely laughed at that and I'd definitely do it if I were to genderbend Todoroki. Good idea
Brankinhovich.sama: Yeah, I'm kinda just writing this for the smut. I already have a serious story going lol.
grecefar: Surprisingly, people did say no to a lemon. Weird, right?
LucklessBlock86: GOD I DON'T WANT TO DO A GAY KIRISHIMA BUT I MEAN
Random-Cliche-Name: I agree, no yaoi.
bens6757: I DEFINITELY DIDN'T GO BACK AND CHANGE THAT EITHER (thanks again). Actually, I do remember hearing that that was the original idea, so I'll probably move Shiozaki into 1-A to replace Mineta. Yes, Hatsume will be in his harem when the story gets there. And don't worry about Telekinetic Hero, that's my main priority over this one. I'm just doing this one for fun. Also calm down about the damn pubic hair holy shit lmao.
UndeadGods: Yup, moving Ibara in.
Shinku Ryuuga: If you want proper pacing, this story is not the one for it lol.
The Unknown Twinkie: You are entitled to your opinion, but it's subjectively wrong. And yes, I know what I said.
komodome: Glad to have a theme song lol. AND I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I MADE NO SUCH PROMISE. But I agree, sex-related stories can have heartwarming moments too.
Guest: The League will be forever altered by Midoriya's appeal.
shiroryuu012: I was kinda the same way, where I used to hate genderbends but now I don't mind them if they're done right. More specifically Fem Deku tho, there's one story called "PLUS ULTRA! The Girl Who Became A Hero!" by Ciaxlia and it's great and really funny. She also wrote one for the fantasy AU that's just as good. I didn't put that there just because I think you'd like it, but more because I wanted to say it somewhere and here seemed like a good place.
Anyways, here's the chapter!
I do not own Boku No Hero Academia or any of the characters portrayed in this story.

The Beginning of Izuku's Mental Shift
"So, you live nearby?" Izuku asked Ochako as they rode the bullet train.
"Yeah," she nodded.
"I kinda assumed you were from out of town because of your accent," he admitted.
"O-Oh, sorry," Ochako said quickly. "I-I try ta keep it under control..."
"I don't mind," he clarified. "Actually, it's kind of cute."
"A-Ah, ya think so?" she played with her hair as she looked away and blushed.
"Yeah," he nodded.
"W-Well, I actually am from out of town," she said. "B-But I'm staying around here right now because my parents want me to get used to the area around U.A."
"In a hotel or something?"
"A-Actually, my parents own a construction company. They built an apartment building near here, and the building's owner is letting me stay for a month free-of-charge."
"Woah, that's generous," Izuku said. "Wait, are you living alone?"
"Yeah," Ochako nodded.
"I see..."
Izuku didn't like this, as it seemed this little excursion was becoming more dangerous by the minute. It was a good thing that he had already taken care of his daily routine that morning, so it should be fairly easy for him to avoid anything of the sexual nature. But then again, he was visiting the home of a girl his age who lived alone and had fallen in love with him not just a few hours ago. Ideal situation.
"So, Uraraka," he broke the momentary silence. "What are we gonna do at your place?"
"Well, if ya have time," she said nervously, "I was thinkin we could watch a movie? I mean, you were right that McDonald's ain't exactly a good place for a date, and goin to the movies is the kinda thing I'd think of for that... I don't have a ton of money, so I was just thinkin we could see one at my apartment."
"Yeah, I have time for that," Izuku nodded. "I'll just have to call my mom."
"O-Okay," she nodded. "I should call mine too."
Both of the teens called their parents as they leaned away from each other to minimize their voices getting picked up by each other's phones.
"Hello Izuku!" Inko exclaimed over the phone when she picked up. "How did the exams go?"
"Good," Izuku said. "I'm pretty sure I passed both the written and practical exams."
"That's great! Are you on your way home?"
"No, not yet. I won't be home until later. I'm seeing a movie with a friend."
"Is it Katsuki?"
"No..."
"... Oh, it's a girl."
"I-I mean... Yeah..."
"Well, I knew this would happen sooner or later. Kind of unavoidable. I just hope you picked a good one."
"I... think I did?" Izuku didn't expect his mom's reaction to be so nonchalant.
"As long as you're home for dinner, alright? I want to celebrate!"
"Alright Mom," he chuckled. "See you later. Love you."
"Love you too baby!" she said before he hung up.
Ochako, who was still on the phone, said, "I know, I hope so too. Alright, love ya Mom. Say hi to Daddy for me! Bye!" After she hung up, she looked at Izuku and asked, "What did your mom say?"
"I can come," he said. "What do you want to watch?"
"I-I dunno," she pondered. "Whatever is new On Demand?"
"Sounds good to me," he smiled.
Ochako blushed at his smile and quickly looked down. For the rest of the trip, Izuku tried to fill the gaps with idle chatter, since Ochako obviously couldn't build up the courage to do so herself. He told her about the way he looked up to All Might, and learned about her admiration for the Space Hero Thirteen. He told her about his mother, and then learned about her parents which led into her motivation for applying to the hero course in the first place. Izuku thought it was a good motivation, but Ochako couldn't help but say that his was better once he told her (I mean come on, helping people for the sake of helping them is the purest motivation someone can have). Their talk continued in that fashion until they finally reached Ochako's apartment.
Izuku didn't know what to expect, but he didn't expect that an apartment lived in solely by a fifteen year old girl would look so... plain. Granted, judging from the full suitcase in the corner, she probably hadn't even unpacked yet. And he knew her family wasn't well-off, which could've been another factor.
"S-So," she said, waving an arm at the room. "T-This is where I live."
There was a kitchen directly in the entryway, and a living room that doubled as a dining room on the other side of the counter. Off on the right side were two doors, which Izuku assumed were the bedroom and bathroom.
"It's nice," Izuku said as he looked around. "Efficient use of space."
"Y-Yeah, it's pretty small," she said. After locking the door, she led him around the kitchen counter to the living room. "So, I guess we should find something to watch."
"Sounds like a plan," he nodded as they sat next to each other on the couch.
Ochako scrolled through the most recently added movies on her TV. There were a few options that they were debating between, one being an action movie, one being a comedy and yet another being a hero documentary. While Izuku secretly wanted to watch the documentary, he opted for the action film. Ochako got up to make some popcorn before sitting back down with the bowl in between them.
Throughout the movie, both of the teens were enthusiastic to cheer and laugh and point out how cool different parts were. At one point there was a continuity error that Izuku couldn't quite get over, and Ochako laughed a little too hard at his displeasure. Overall, they both had a pretty great time with it. By the end, the empty popcorn bowl was on the table and Ochako somehow ended up leaning against Izuku's side with her arms wrapped around his right one.
"So..." Izuku spoke up as the credits rolled. "That movie wasn't too bad."
"I liked it," she said quietly. "You have a good time?"
"Yeah, this was fun," Izuku nodded.
"So... C-Can this be a d-date now?"
"... I think it counts," Izuku scratched his head. "Like I said, I've never really done this before."
"Well, me neither," Ochako giggled as she (possibly unconsciously) moved her right arm from his arm to around his torso and pushed herself up with her left.
"U-Uraraka?" he asked as he looked up at her face, which was now hovering over his. "What are you doing?"
"I-I dunno," she frowned. "I-I've never really... even t-thought about this kinda stuff, y'know? B-But I just... feel like... t-this feels right. I-Is this wrong?" she asked as her face slowly neared his.
"I-I don't know," he admitted, putting his hands on her shoulders to stop her from getting any lower. "I always kind of thought that it would be wrong."
"Midoriya... is it your Quirk that's making me feel like this?" Ochako asked as her breathing became labored.
"Probably," he sighed. "I'm sorry, maybe I should leave..."
"B-But I don't want you to leave!" she exclaimed suddenly, before looking away from him. "I-I want... I don't know anymore..."
"We shouldn't move too fast with this relationship, either way," Izuku said. "I-It wouldn't be healthy."
"It's okay," Ochako said quietly as she pushed down to bring her face next to his. "Only a little bit."
"Ura–!"
Ochako pressed her lips against Izuku's before he could protest and firmly wrapped her arms around him. Izuku almost felt like he was being crushed, but the sensation wasn't unpleasant. In fact, there wasn't anything about the situation that he would could complain about. Her body felt warm even through their clothes as she pressed herself against him, and her lips were soft, carrying with them a hint of cinnamon behind the smell and taste of buttered popcorn. She kept him locked in for a few seconds before releasing him.
"Hah... Uraraka..." Izuku panted as he looked up at her.
"T-That was my first kiss, Midoriya," Ochako said quietly.
"It... wasn't mine..."
"Oh," she glanced away.
"It was the first time that I willingly kissed someone, I guess," he clarified. "Aside from my mom and... Recovery Girl..."
Ochako chuckled at that. "It wasn't so bad... was it?" she asked.
"N-No..."
"So, how can it be wrong if we both like it?"
"I..." Izuku's mind was getting a little fuzzy. "I don't know..."
"Then," Ochako said as she planted a smaller kiss on his lips, "could we stay like this for a while?"
"I... guess," Izuku relented. "What time is it?"
Ochako reached into her pocket at the same time as she pressed her lips against Izuku's again. The kiss was deeper this time, as she wrapped an arm around the back of his head. She pulled her phone out and glanced at it from the side.
She pulled away for a second and said, "It's half past four."
"Okay, I have time," Izuku said. "But we still shouldn't take this too fast, okay?"
"Not that that isn't a good idea, but..." Ochako looked into his eyes, and he saw tears coming down. "I-I've never felt so happy, Midoriya... I don't wanna stop."
Before he could say anything else, Ochako lowered herself to kiss him again. And once again, the bit of sense that Izuku had been able to grasp just a moment ago slipped through his fingers as he was enveloped by warmth. He wasn't exactly sure when their tongues got acquainted, but by the time he realized that they had, they had already grown used to the wet, warm sensation. Ochako gripped Izuku's arms involuntarily and he felt gravity leave him. Not that it mattered, since she pretty much had him pinned beneath her at this point. In fact, from her position on top of him, Ochako could feel it the moment his fifth limb decided to wake up.
"U-Um, Midoriya," she asked after pulling away from his mouth. "W-What's that?"
"I-I'm sorry," he blushed and looked away. "P-Physiological r-reaction."
"I-I just wanted to m-make sure," she stuttered, clapping her cheeks as she looked away. "I-It feels too b-big...!"
"The... size... is a side effect of my Quirk."
"I-I get it," she nodded. "S-So..."
"I don't think we should cross any more lines, Uraraka," Izuku said. Now that he was allowed to breathe for more than five seconds, his sense was returning.
"B-But... Why not?" Ochako asked.
"It's not healthy for either of us to get into that so quickly. We should have another date or two and then see."
"Another... date..." she said slowly as if the idea itself was hard to grasp.
"Yeah," Izuku said. "How about... in a couple of weeks? After we get our exam results, we can go out to celebrate."
"I..." Ochako scratched her head as she got off of him and sat in her previous spot on the couch. "I t-think that'd b-be nice."
"URARAKA HELP!" Izuku shouted as he began floating up in the air.
"WAH! I'M SORRY!!!" she yelled as she quickly released her Quirk only for him to fall upside-down on the couch.
It was much easier for Izuku to convince her to let him leave after that. For one, the mood they had built up had been shattered. For another, she felt bad about it and didn't want to force him to stay if he didn't want to.
They exchanged contact information and Izuku went to leave. In the doorway he promised again that they would have a second date, and then they hugged each other for a moment. Judging by her grip on his shoulders, she was close to just taking him back inside against his will.
"Uraraka, you put all of your fingers on me again," Izuku chuckled.
"Y-Yes, I did," she nodded.
"... May you please let go and release me from your Quirk?"
"Yeah, but... I still want you to stay," she sighed. "Somethin's wrong with me, ain't it?"
"No, it's my Quirk's fault," Izuku said with a shake of his head.
"Y-Yeah," she nodded. "T-This feels like a d-dumb question, but... A-Are we a c-couple now?"
"Let's... go for one more date before making it official, okay?"
"Yeah... Okay," she smiled as she let go of him and then released her Quirk. "I'll see ya later, Midoriya."
"Goodbye Uraraka," he said with a wave as he walked away. "I hope you passed the entrance exam!"
"Y-You too!" she called after him.
'God, that was stressful,' Izuku sighed inwardly as he made his way to the train to go home. 'Maybe I should never have agreed to the whole 'date' thing...'
But it was too late now. While Izuku was able to avoid it today, he knew he wouldn't forever. He really didn't expect her to almost force herself on him. Then again, he'd never been alone in a room with a girl for 3 hours... Maybe that was an effect of being so closely exposed to his Quirk for so long? If so, then that made it almost unavoidable. Still, if he was going to be in a relationship, he really wanted to try and do it right. Doing something like that so soon was something he was firmly against. That being said, he wasn't even sure that he had those feelings for her. She was definitely cute, and Izuku could tell, after talking to her for a bit, that he did care for her to some extent. But, having avoided girls to the best of his ability up to this point in his life, he couldn't be sure whether he was or would be in love with her or not.
He sighed again as he sat between a few strangers on the train. Of course they didn't take too long to introduce themselves as a construction contractor and an accountant and tried to chat the green teen up. As was daily life for Izuku Midoriya while his internal moral struggles raged on.
_
Inko made katsudon for Izuku that night. She was overly vocal about how proud she was, and embraced him as she expressed her joy. Really, she was just too much sometimes. And then she asked about the girl. Of course, Izuku shouldn't have expected to be able to avoid it for long. Much to his surprise though, the very first question his mother asked was whether they had sex.
"N-No!" he exclaimed. "Of course we didn't!"
"Oh, don't be embarrassed," she laughed. "If I'm being honest, I expected it way earlier! Ever since your Quirk manifested, I expected you to be quite the ladies' man."
"M-Mom, it was only the first date," Izuku covered his face with both arms.
"Yeah, I know," Inko smiled. Then, leaning down, she asked, "Then how far did you two get?"
"MOM!"
"Izuku, I'm serious! I want to keep up on my baby's progress!"
"We kissed, alright?!" he threw his arms up.
Izuku thanked his mother for the food once he was finished and then made his way to his room. He opened his phone and saw that he had a message from Ochako. It read 'I'm so so sorry about earlier! I don't know what came over me, that's never happened before! Please forgive me *praying emoji* *praying emoji* *crying emoji*!' He shook his head and sighed, quickly sending her a message to reassure her that everything was fine.
_
Over the next two weeks, Izuku was fairly busy. He was pretty quickly forced into telling Katsuki the fake explanation of his Quirk, which was surprisingly easy to get through. Then he had to finish up his school year, as finals were approaching the week after U.A.'s acceptance letters were getting sent out. Because of that fact, the school work was getting fairly heavy.
On top of all of that, he stayed in regular contact with Ochako. Naturally he was concerned with the fact that she should be back home finishing middle school, but she explained that the Mie school district was on a different schedule and had already finished (AN: I know that's not a thing, but it is just for the sake of this A.U.). They planned out their second date for the Saturday that they got their acceptance letters (that is, assuming Ochako's wasn't a rejection letter), and there wasn't a single day in which Ochako didn't message him about how excited she was. It almost seemed like she was more excited to see him than to get into U.A.
It didn't seem like it took very long for the day to arrive when they got the letters. Izuku was, for obvious reasons, surprised when All Might (who he couldn't get in touch with since the day of the exams) greeted him via a hologram from the envelope. He explained that he would be working as a teacher at the prestigious hero school, which blew the boy's mind fairly easily. All Might also gave the breakdown of Izuku's scores on the exams. He passed both with flying colors, like he expected, but there was more to the practical test than meets the eye: Rescue Points!
For saving Ochako from the pile of rubble, and then subsequently protecting her by fighting the 0-pointer off at the expense of his hand, he received 50 Rescue Points. That brought his point total up to 117, which was the highest of all of the applicants and he had beaten Katsuki by 40!
"IIIZZZUUKUUUU!!" Inko shrieked as she tackled him on the couch. "I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!"
"Mom!" Izuku squeaked. "Y-You're crushing me!"
"I'M SORRY! BUT MY BABY IS THE TOP HERO COURSE APPLICANT TO U.A. SO I CAN'T HELP IIIT!"
Inko held her baby boy there for a good 5 minutes before letting him go. Upon examining the other contents within the envelope, Izuku learned two more things. The first was that he would be in class 1-A of U.A.'s hero course, and the other was that he would act as the student representative for the first year students' section of the U.A. Sports Festival and give the athlete's oath. He almost passed out in shock, but his mom tackled him again before he could, this time off of the couch.
Once Izuku was free, he checked his phone to see that Ochako had sent him 12 messages that were all some variation of 'I PASSED THE EXAM' He chuckled at her enthusiasm and sent her a congratulatory message, followed quickly by 'Are you ready for our date later?'
'Yeah!' she replied. 'I've never eaten at such a fancy restaurant before!'
'It's not fancy at all.'
'It is for me *pouting emoji*'
_
"Hey Uraraka," Izuku said as she opened her apartment's door. "You ready?"
"YES!" she shouted as she jumped on him and wrapped him up in a tight hug. "I've missed you Midoriya!"
"Yeah, I've missed you too," he said, returning the embrace.
When they let go, they took a good look at one another's outfits. Izuku was wearing a pale yellow dress shirt under a dark green suit jacket, with a green bowtie. He was also wearing black slacks and dress shoes. Meanwhile Ochako was wearing a simple small light red dress with light beige-ish heels and dark stockings, and had a small amount of makeup on.
"Y-You look, uh, handsome," Ochako stuttered with an obvious blush.
"And y-you look really pretty," he returned. 'Actually REALLY pretty, woah...'
"T-T-Thank you," she looked down at the ground as she spoke.
"So the restaurant is this way," Izuku said, jutting his thumb down one direction of the road. "Let's get going."
"L-Let me lock the door!" she said, before turning and fumbling with the lock for a moment. Once she got the key in the door, she locked it then turned back towards Izuku and said, "Ready!"
