Of Might and Love

~A/N~ Little fun I decided to have after researching chars for my other fics. I had this idea and wanted to make a fun One-Shot out of it.

Chapter Start!


Izuku was at a total loss for words. He had never thought this would happen to him. He looked down at the short magenta-haired girl in front of him. Her pink and purple ringed eyes stared up at him.

He knew who she was. Her name was Manami Aiba, and she was in his class. He had always thought she was cute, whether it was how she kept her hair in heir now-iconic pig-tails or how she incorporated hearts into almost all of her clothes.

He would catch her staring at him once in a while during class or P.E. But every time their met eyes, she'd quickly look away. He'd always assumed she was watching him because he was different. Because he was Quirkless. The only one in their entire school.

But now it had been made evident that she was looking at him for a completely different reason. One that currently left him speechless before her.

"I'm... sorry... could you repeat that?" Izuku asked.

"I said," Manami glanced down for a moment before looking back up at Izuku. "I like you,"

"Why... I'm just a quirkless Deku," Izuku said, still completely lost that she seemed to like him.

"I don't care about that. I like you for your heart, your kind smile, and gentle nature. You're nice to everyone despite being picked on all the time," Manami said, a blush forming on her face.

"You... you like me?" Izuku asked.

"I do," Manami said, a soft smile on her face.

"I never thought this would happen," Izuku said, blinking a few times. His mind finally started to wrap around the idea that someone liked him.

"Is it wrong that I like you?" Manami asked.

"No, it's just I figured I'd be alone forever because I'm quirkless," Izuku replied.

"Well, you don't have to be alone... I... I'll stand beside you," Manami said. Tears started running down Izuku's face. Someone accepted him.

"I'd... I'd really like that," Izuku said while he tried to wipe away his tears. Manami squealed in joy and jumped at Izuku.

The two fell to the ground, both laughing happily. Everything was better now that they had each other.

"So... what happens now?" Izuku asked.

"I don't know," Manami said, still smiling lightly.

"I guess it doesn't matter. As long as we have each other," Izuku said, his smile matching Manami's.

"I'll always be at your side," Manami said while hugging Izuku's chest tightly.

"And I'll be by yours," Izuku returned the hug.


~End Notes~ So yeah super short one-shot. Oh, if anyone likes the idea and makes a full fic out of it, let me know. I'd love to read it.
