Sweet Cute Green Obsession

by guyNumber23

Love is a very complicated thing. It changes the way one sees the world around itself, and push us past our limits. But there is a thin line between burning love and crazy obsession, and Uraraka Ochako may have crossed it, and not only her. One by one, they all fall in the charms of a certain green-haired teen. Can he take on all that "love"? Rated M for the lots of lemons.

27. Trial of Green

*Door slides open, using an All Might onesie* I'M HERE! Hello there, dear readers. Did you think I forgot to update? Well, kind of, honestly. This chapter took me more time than I though it would but here it is, at last. But to compensate the delay, it is practically twice as long. Boi, the amount of work I had... A curious fact, the last part of the chapter I wrote while listening to 『Freek'n You』 (Jojo's Vento Aureo ED), so give it a try if you want. Anyway, to the story!

Trial of Green

"So, how did it go?!"

The moment Izuku stepped into the balcony after wall jumping to his room he got dragged inside by many hands and almost tossed on the bed. The girls from his harem that lived under the same roof as he looked at him with inquiring and eager eyes, lead by none other than Ochako. Though he didn't have such a thing as a 'main girl', the brunette was always the first to act, complain and sometimes burst in anger when something happened to him. That said, Izuku felt a little afraid of what her reaction would be once he dropped the news on them. Taking in a deep breath, the emerald boy got ready to be punished or something.

"She won't tell anyone. And, about what she asked… yes, it is what you're thinking"

The dark aura flared up.

"I'm gonna kill that bitch" He wasn't sure about what was creepiest: the normal way Ochako said that, the wide smile she had, or the way the moonlight only lightened one side of her face. Yep, the whole set was really scary.

"Ochako, let's calm down for a moment and think, okay…?" He held her hand as the brunette was already heading to the door.

"It's okay Deku-kun. No one will look for bodies in space" Again, her almost cheerful tone made a chill run across his spine.

"Ah, M-Momo, a little help here…?"

"Sure. Ochako-chan, what size of bag do you want?" Oh boy, not her too.

"Don't worry, Momo-chan. We'll only need a small bucket" Mina said, small drops of acid forming on the tips of her fingers. Her yellow irises glowed in the dark room with killing intention.

"T-that's it, no one leaves the room!" Izuku whisper shouted and dashed to his door, locking it and blocking the way.

"Izuku, you might want to get out of the way, ribbit…"

"No way, you all are crazy! I can't let you go anywhere at this state so sit down and calm down your jealous nerves" He received a collective growl but stood where he was, and the girls eventually sat on the floor, on his bed or on his chair.

Letting out the breath he was holding, Izuku ran his hands through his hair. It shouldn't be that hard to convince these girls that getting rid of Tokage for good was a bad idea.

"Izuku, sit there" Momo said in an authoritarian tone and pointed at the spot in front of her. Here we go again.

"You know what, can we stop with this trial thing? It gets me on the edge" None of them answered. "Okay, fine. Have it your way" He decided to just end this as quick as possible.

"Deku-kun, just to avoid making any mistakes I'll ask bluntly. That green haired cunt wanted to fuck you, didn't she?" Ochako was practically stating it.

"~sigh~ Yes… and she did"

"My point is made, death sentence"

"What? You can't just give her a death sentence"

"Yes we can. Let's kill da ho" He turned to Mina, who was sitting on his bed beside Tsuyu.

"You can't be serious"

"Let's sort this out as a group. Who wants to remove the lizard bitch?" Momo said and raised her hand.

Kyoka, sitting on the floor and leaning on the bed, raised her jacks. Ochako, sitting on the floor, raised her as high as she could. Mina and Tsuyu did the same.

"I'm with my arm raised too, okay?"

"Of course you are, Tooru…" Izuku pinched the bridge of his nose. "Girls, I know you all must be furious and what she did was prey dangerous, but we can't simply remove her like that"

"What do you suggest then? Dispose of the body by incineration?" Kyoka said.

"Nah, my acid is more efficient"

"Girls, seriously, stop"

"Bold of you to assume we're joking, Deku-kun"

Izuku just turned to the brunette and gave her a tired look. Okay, they were possessive but everything had a limit.

"Look, I had to do it. I didn't want to but I did only because I didn't have another option. Our secret is still safe and you won't do shit to Tokage, am I clear?" He stated to the girls around him. Reluctantly, each one of them nodded.

"I nodded too, Cutie…"

"Thank you, Tooru" She sounded really bothered.

"Well, at least did you bang her senseless?" Ochako asked dryly.

"Umm, yes, but actually no"

"How come?"

"I don't want to talk about that"

"Why not?" Mina asked, equally dry to Ochako.

"I just had sex with another girl, I don't want to tell you about that"

"Deku-kun. Spit it out"

"I just said- oh, for the love of… I went easy on her. She was acting up so I was a little rough with her. It was her first time…" Maybe hearing that would make them less angry.

"Hah, and you didn't break her?" Yeah, maybe not.

After a lot of talking Izuku managed to call down his girlfriends. They even called Mei, Yu, and Nemuri to see what they thought about it. Mei said that as long as she had him it was good to her, quickly going back to sleep, Yu was pretty much the same. Nemuri seemed a little angry, but with the fact that a student caught her in that situation. Yes, she was jealous of her favorite green boy, but she didn't think Tokage or even Kendo would do much harm not that he dealt with the lizard girl. Shutting her mouth with a good fuck, that kind of made her proud.

"My boy~"

And so, the days went on without problems. Well, mostly without problems. Kendo was slowly making her way into the group of girls, now sitting with them during lunch and chatting. Being near Midoriya was still kind of an issue but the green teen was caring enough to change place if needed and none of the girls would dare to oppose. The problem here had dark green hair and serious trouble with knowing when she was not welcome. After that night Tokage started to come out of nowhere, getting in the middle of their chats and hugging Midoriya, in front of everyone. And if it wasn't enough, she insisted into tease him and ask for, as she called, more 'wild green nights'.

Even Kendo had to admit her friend was getting out of hand. When they weren't close to the emerald teen, Tokage asked to talk with him using her phone, or just call him over so both of them could share him on the bed, and the orange haired girl had to refuse every request.

"Tokage, please stop. You won't get to him by just insisting" Kendo said as they did laps on the running tracks.

"I just have to try harder"

"No, if you try any harder they'll straight kill you and dance on your grave"

"Come on, just how possessive are these girls?"

"A lot. At least most of them. Mei and are kinda chill with him having more girls. It doesn't bother me so much either, but I sometimes worry that he'll end having so many girls that I won't have enough time with him"

"How many girls do you think he could take and still keep going?"

"I don't know..." Kendo slowed down and stopped, with Tokage following suit. "Probably more than we think. Why do you ask?"

A sly smile made its way into Tokage's lips.

"This must be the same amount of times he can fuck me if I get alone with him~"

"Holy shit, just how thirsty are you, Tokage?"

"What? Don't tell me you don't want him to bang you all night long? Oh, just thinking of his huge delicious dick ramming inside me makes me so-" Before Tokage could continue, Kendo covered her mouth with a hand.

"Shhhh, are you crazy or what? You promised you wouldn't tell anyone. Remember to keep your mouth shut"

Tokage removed the hand and rolled her eyes.

"I won't tell anybody, I promised him. But I can't help it, I'm getting all hot and wet night after night, dreaming with him~" Tokage then looked at Kendo with a smirk plastered in her face. "You have been dreaming about him too. We met at the showers three times already~"

That comment made Kendo blush a little. She crossed her arms and looked away from the green-haired girl with a small pout.

"I-I can't help it either, I'm not seeing him as much as I want and the girls didn't fully accept me…"

"Then you should help me, Kendo. If we team up we can convince him to come and-" She looked around, then said in a lower tone, getting closer to Kendo's ears. "and fuck both of us until we black out~"

The idea made Kendo blush more. She looked at the ground while her mind worked some possible scenarios, what she wanted to dress, the things she wanted to try with him… She shook her head quickly.

"F-forget it, Tokage. I'm almost earning their full trust, and dragging you with me will only make them mad"

"Uhg, what's up with that 'council', anyway? Do they think they owe Izuku?"

"No, but if I was one them I'd also be suspicious of any girl that makes a move on him"

"Humpf, you only say that because Izuku said he also likes you"

"... Yeah, you're right, Izuku did say he liked me. What? Gonna cry?" Kendo teased the lizard girl.

Without knowing how to respond to that, Tokage simply said with a nod: "Yes"

And before Kendo could stop her from making a scene, another person came to them.

"Girls, is everything alright? Tokage-san, why do you look like you're about to cry?"

"O-oh, Shiozaki. It's nothing, Tokage is just fooling around" Kendo got so distracted with Tokage she forgot the vine girl was running with them. Shiozaki wasn't exactly the most athletic in the class so she was trying to work on it. Shiozaki was one lap behind them and saw the two stopped so she worried something might have happened.

"Yeah, it's nothing. Kendo is just throwing at my face that she got a boyfriend"

"T-Tokage!" Kendo felt her left eye twitch when she saw her friend sticking out her tongue.

"Boyfriend?" The orange haired girl flinched. Thanks to Togake she would have to explain this. "Did he finally confessed to you…?"

"She's making this up, I swear- eh? Confess? Who?"

Shiozaki jumped. She didn't plan to say that out loud.

"Oh, confess? No, I mean, that guy Bakugo should confess his sins"

Shiozaki was terrible at lying and honestly, she hated it, but her friend Tetsutetsu confided her that he had a crush on Kendo. When she saw the orange head moping after discovering Midoriya was taken, she thought it was the time for the manly teen to be brave and make his move. She didn't have the time to tell him that though. Well, she could at least get to know what Tokage was talking about, maybe help the golden-hearted iron boy.

"Anyway, Kendo-san, did you find your prince in shining armor yet?"

"That's not it! Tokage was just joking and teasing me, right?" She glared at the dark green haired girl, who simply shrugged.

"Heh, I might be joking but you looked super serious talking about how strong and charming he was, and how you loved everything about him-"

"Ha ha ha, very funny, Tokage" "I swear I'll Jumbo Punch you…"

"Try me"

These two were at that level of friendship where they could talk just with looks.

"Come on, Kendo. Right now you were bragging about Midoriya saying he also liked you" If Tokage could widen her grin, she would. Kendo's hands were itching to gently wrap around her neck.

"Oh, so you achieved your goal. You even got a little closer with the Midoriya Squad these days. Congratulations, Kendo-san. I shall pray for all the blesses from heaven being upon your life with him" It saddened her that Tetsutetsu lost this battle, but it was also a victory for Kendo.

"N-no, no, you didn't get it. We're not dating!" Kendo was a little desperate, but Shiozaki wasn't one to misunderstand others.

"I see… you both confessed but you're afraid to make it official"

"Yes! Wait-"

Shiozaki clapped her hands and a bright smile made its way in her lips.

"I see! And I was thinking that you looked much brighter lately. Hm hmm, making friends with 1-A to placate the fury of the Squad, very clever, Kendo-san"

"No… that not it…"

"Ahahaha, as expected from Shiozaki! She couldn't hide it from you for long, right?" Tokage kept playing along, much to Kendo's dismay.

"I am proud of my ability to sense when people are troubled with something. But still, Kendo-san, if you felt insecure about it you should come straight to me. You know I'm more than willing to help you out"

Kendo didn't know what to say, so she just stared with her hand weakly reaching for the vine girl. Shiozaki turned around to leave, waving at her friends. She was set on a mission now.

"Don't worry too much, Kendo-san. Good things come for those who have faith"

"Yet, we must do what is within the reach of our hands. I must learn with my mistakes, otherwise, she can end heartbroken just like Tetsutetsu. I won't fail again. Kendo-san, you have my prayers and my help from the background"

As the vine head left them, Tokage kept laughing her head off and Kendo remained frozen for a minute, proceeding to chase the lizard girl around, threatening to strangulate her fragile neck. Tokage was still laughing.

---

With her objectives clear, Shiozaki started her mission right away. Luckily for her, today's hero training class was Quirk strengthening and they would use the same place to train. So Shiozaki kept an eye on the green haired teen since they arrived at Gamma Gym, waiting for an opportunity. She wanted her friend Kendo to be happy but she also had to make sure Midoriya was worthy. And once the emerald boy got more isolated the vine girl approached him, taking care to not draw much attention from his guardians.

"Greetings, Midoriya-san"

"Oh, hello there, umm"

"Shiozaki Ibara"

"Yes, Shiozaki-san. I see 1-B is working hard as always" He looked at the self-proclaimed rivals of his class behind the vine girl.

"Indeed, which is why I would like your assistance"

"Me? What for?" She got him curious.

"Well, you as you can see, my Quirk is Vines. Though it is pretty versatile when used in large areas, I feel I still lack precision when using it"

Midoriya put a hand on his chin, ready to enter his mumbling mode.

"I see where you're getting to. If you ever faced a quick opponent he could avoid any traps and overpower you. How does the control works? Do you just move them at will or can you sense them like your arms… no, no, that would probably be a neural overload. But since you could have grown up with them, I don't know, maybe some kind of muscular reflex to activate a trap without thinking, using some kind of trigger to…" As impressive as it can sound, the emerald boy slowed down on his bullet train of thought and looked at the girl in front of him, noticing the uneasy and kinda lost expression she held.

"S-sorry about that! It's an old habit of mine, aha ha…" Midoriya held on his neck and held an embarrassed smile.

"W-well, I'm sure Kendo-san saw something special on him. Yeah, he seems to be very smart and he did take down a villain on his own… though he broke his arms in the process. Oh heavens, I mustn't let a single detail escape"

"It's fine, Midoriya-san. I believe you have something in mind to help me, perhaps...?"

"I do have an idea, but to be honest it would work better if I knew more about your Quirk. That and I think Iida would be more helpful in your training than me"

"Why, if you don't mind me asking?"

He took a moment to breathe in and out. No mumbling this time, he told himself.

"Ahem. Well, Iida-kun has much more speed than me and this is more his style of fighting, making use of the area to run around and quickly cover the gap between him and the opponent. I'm sure he would be more than willing to help you train"

"This is bad, I have to convince him to train with me. Think, Shiozaki" "Umm, I'm sure Iida-san would be glad to help but… I'm looking for a different opinion about how could I use my Quirk along with the training, and you seem to be the most suitable person, Midoriya-san" Hopefully this would work on the green teen.

"You… you really think so?"

"I trust in Kendo's words. She spoke quite well of your abilities" "Let's see how he reacts when I mention her"

"K-Kendo?! What d-did she tell you about me?" Midoriya palled a bit. Shiozaki was referring to his fighting skills, right? Kendo wouldn't talk about what he did almost in secret with her… right? Then again, they never really sparred or anything so how could Kendo have something to tell Shiozaki about him?

On the other side, Shiozaki started to sweat a bit. She really hated lying. It always ended creating more problems. What should she say now? Well, time to improvise.

"Your… ability to… read the situation?" That kind of made sense, probably. I mean, he started to spit a lot of information with the brief description she gave him of her Quirk. "Hope this works, hope this works, hope this works"

"Ah, that. Yeah, I don't like to brag much about it. It's nothing too special…" "Oh, thank god, that's what she meant" He sighed in relief internally.

" I did it! It sickens me but I managed to escape with a lie! I feel worthless and proud but this is for Kendo" "So, would you kindly help me in this task?"

"Sure. We can make some sort of test run to see what we need to improve. Oh, I know, let's use the obstacles Cementoss-sensei built. I will use Full Cowl to move in three dimensions while you try to capture me"

"Sounds like a good plan to me"

The newly formed duo walked to the center of the gym where tall columns of cement were scattered.

"Oi, what's the name of the girl that kicked your butt at the Sports Festival, Kaminari?" Sero asked the blond electrical teen as he tried to lift a boulder with his tape, eventually snapping it and falling on his back.

"Hey, that wasn't a fair fight! And I guess her name was… Shiori? Iwaza? Umm… ah, Shiozaki!" Currently plugged to a large set of batteries and trying to act as a generator, Kaminari was struggling to keep his brain functional while using greater voltages. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, she just walked by with Midoriya"

"Wait, with Midoriya?!" The blonde even stopped charging the batteries, such was his disbelief.

"Then see for yourself" The slender teen pointed to the pillars and they watched from afar, Midoriya stretching his legs and Shiozaki apparently praying or something. Then their eyes darted around, spotting the girls from their class. This wouldn't end well.

Just as they thought, another person noticed the uncommon partnership, the explosive teen himself.

"What the fuck is that shitty nerd up to?" Bakugo said almost growling.

"Huh? What's up, Bakubro?" Kirishima lowered his guard since the explosions ceased and noticed Bakugo's attention somewhere else. The redhead then realized what he was looking at, widening his eyes a little. "Oh-oh, we might have a problem. Do you think the girls-"

"Forget those dumbasses, why is he training with the enemy?!"

"That's what you're worried about?!"

On another side of the gym, Shoji was sitting in a meditating position, trying to tone down all noises and focus on a single source of sound, when he got this piece of talk between Bakugo and Kirishima.

"Huh, Midoriya training with someone from 1-B... That's unusual"

"He what?!" Kyoka was sitting on his side doing the same exercise with her jacks plugged on the floor, but the mention of Midoriya's name instantly dragged her attention.

The purple haired girl instantly got up and walked around, looking for her boyfriend and whoever was this crazy girl that didn't care much about her own health. That movement got the attention of a certain brunette that was currently sparring with Ojiro. Her moment of distraction cost her a swipe under her feet and an immobilization. Suddenly everything was sideways and she felt some discomfort in her right arm, but the way she fell on the floor made her face the direction where Midoriya was, and of course, she saw him with someone else.

"Sorry, Uraraka-san, but I won't hold back just because you're a girl and… Uraraka-san? Are you okay? Did I use to much strength-"

Ojiro started to sweat nervously as Uraraka started to rise to her feet. With him still holding her arm in a lock!

On the other side of the gym, Kendo felt a light tap on her shoulder so she stopped her fight with Shishida, looking around and finding the lizard girl, holding a fanged slime, squinted eyes and raised eyebrows. This was the face Tokage did whenever she wanted to mess with the orange haired girl.

"Kendo, look at this~ Someone is trying her best to help you~" She pointed to the area with lots of pillars. Once Kendo detected the familiar vines close to her favorite mop of green hair, the colors drained of her face.

"Shit"

Midoriya focused and his body lit up, giving out a tiny arc of energy.

"Ready?"

Shiozaki didn't plan to actually train with him but he sounded so convincing that she decided to give it a try.

"Yes. You may commence" She said as her hair grew rapidly and buried itself on the floor and sprouted all around the area.

Midoriya then made a short run and began to jump around, moving from a column to another in a way to mimic Gran Torino's Jet. Shiozaki followed his movements with her eyes and at first was doing well, reacting quick enough to whip him in mid-air, not using too much strength, of course. But as the training progressed her attacks became less and less effective, with him learning her patterns and evading the vines by twisting his body in the air. When she noticed, Midoriya changed from simply dodging to attack her too, forcing her to take a defensive stance by making shields, but that cut her sight of him and she could only react so fast. The green teen was everywhere, jumping in confusing directions to strike Shiozaki at her blank points, which made the girl more anxious and distracted. He increased the frequency of his attacks until he managed to get past the barrier and tackle her by her waist. Being caught off guard, Shiozaki reacted instinctively and her vines quickly wrapped around Midoriya in some type of cocoon that also trapped her.

"Hey, you did it, Shiozaki-san! I don't know how but your reaction time was much shorter, so if we can replicate it- Shiozaki-san?" At first, Midoriya failed to perceive the situation he was currently into, but once he felt a familiar soft-touch pressing against his chest, worry and bits of panic flowed into his mind. At the same time, Shiozaki froze in place like a statue, struggling to process how did she end here. Well, one thing she was sure of.

"He… he is… so wild! Kendo-san, did he make such a bold move on you too?!" Her thoughts were going haywire.

"Sh-Shiozaki-san, calm down. Your vines are- gah! getting tighter…!" He said trying to get the stammering girl back to focus.

"It can't be happening, it can't be happening… a boy is hugging me! He'll hold me closer… then he'll look into my eyes and… k-k-ki… no! I can't! I'm doing this for Kendo! Even if he fell for my charms, I have to stay strong. For Kendo"

"Shiozaki-san! I can't- agh! feel my legs…" Midoriya summoned One for All, but moving too fast could harm her since they were so close. Plus, these vines were quite strong and having her upper body practically glued on his didn't help his concentration a single bit.

Outside the unfolding disaster, Kendo looked distressed. How in the world would she explain that to the other girls that her friend didn't have any interest in him? Leave that to another time, Shiozaki really seemed lost, and nothing good happened when she was like that. She shuddered at the memory of that one time the vine girl went on a weird sleepwalk and dragged half of the class with her as they tried to keep her away from danger. Shishida picked small thorns from his hair and fur for an entire week.

On the other side of this complicated situation, Jiro was fighting two battles at the same time, one against Uraraka, who simply flipped the 'Slayer Mode' switch, and another with herself to prevent her from doing the same.

"Ochako… calm… down…!" The brunette surely was stronger than she looked. She was dragging Kyoka pretty easily, taking heavy steps towards the bundle of vines. Minutes ago she simply flipped Ojiro out by swinging her arm.

"Seriously! Is she getting this strong with sheer rage?! Though I can't really blame her"

Back to the problem, Midoriya was reaching a critical level of danger as his face got closer and closer to hers. He knew Shiozaki wasn't doing that on purpose but if she didn't stop, well, let's say he was bound to have a bad time.

"Shio… zaki-san…! Calm down…!" His arms were getting numb and the thorns were starting to pierce through his clothes. Her nose barely touched his.

"How did we end like this?! I thought he liked Kendo-san! Could it be… that he was attracted by my humble and benevolent personality? Yes, those who sin should seek for redemption but… what if he wants to… no, I must remain pure! Midoriya, you can't!" Shiozaki now looked like a tomato, her face reddened and her eyes spinning swirls, while her hair looked like the stalk, except that instead of leaves there were thorns.

"I have to stop her… before it's too late… Sorry, Shiozaki-san!" Midoriya said before doing what he could now, a powerful 0.5% Ohio Smash headbutt.

This managed to bring Shiozaki out of her storm of thoughts and she finally got control of her vines again, but she still remained stiff like a statue, staring at those shiny emerald green eyes right in front of her.

"Uhh, what… happened?" She didn't know what to say.

"M-maybe I went too far into this training. I didn't mean to scare you, sorry"

"It's… it's okay, Midoriya-san. I'm the one who lost control…"

"No, no, it's my fault. It was just a test and I got too serious, you probably weren't ready. But I don't mean you can't deal with it, I just-" His apologie spree was cut short by her soft laugh.

"You're quite interesting, Midoriya-san. Let's settle like this, both of us are to blame"

"Uh, sure. Erm… Shiozaki-san?"

"Yes?"

"Could you, you know, release the vines?"

Oh… Oh, now it dawned on her! She released the vines so quickly that some of them snapped and whipped like a ball of rubber bands, leaving visible dents on the floor around them. Midoriya looked at it with amusement, already thinking of the possibilities. Shiozaki didn't know where to look at so she didn't notice a figure sneaking up behind her. Before she knew, she was kissing the floor and with her arm twisted in a very uncomfortable position. She felt a foot rest in the middle of her backs, pushing her further down and increasing the pain in her left arm. She tried to look up and she saw a shadowy silhouette that blocked the sunlight and towered over her. It had some weird round ears and, wait, actually those were hair buns, messy hair buns.

"You must be very brave or very stupid to harm my Izuku like this. You know what? Forget it, you're 100% stupid… and 200% dead…"

Shiozaki's eyes widened. The crazy blonde had a deadly stare directed to her and she held a malicious fanged grin. Himiko didn't seem to be joking, and Midoriya saw it. The moment he heard her voice he turned around, but she already got Shiozaki in a hold.

"Let her go, Himiko!"

The blonde's assassin looks melted into a soft face as she looked at the green teen.

"Eh? But Izuku, she almost crushed you to death. Not to mention her face got too close. Too. Close…"

"Let her go, now"

Himiko didn't listen, instead turning back to the vine girl under her. Her murderous and unamused face returned. She was used to this kind of thing, killing for necessity. She made countless jobs like this before, and they were completely boring since she couldn't spend time with her targets. Quick deaths were so lame she couldn't help her lack of interest, but these things had to be done, oh well.

She pushed Shiozaki's arm more, feeling that it would disjoint soon, but then she heard a small beep and a humming, and it happened in half a second. Energy coursed through her body, making her muscles spasm and go numb, but she didn't care. She knew what to do. To Himiko, assassination and impairing were second nature, almost like breathing. Even though the pain made her lost focus of practically everything around her, she could hear pretty well the whimpers of the vine girl, which was a clear sign she was doing her job right.

Then, her vision got a glimpse of the sky and suddenly everything was upside down. Also, her vision was blurry. What happened was that Midoriya grabbed her wrists and forced her to let go of Shiozaki, then held at her clothes and tossed Himiko over his shoulder, not caring about the electricity that ran through him or the amount of strength he used. He panted, more because he felt infuriated, as he stared at the blonde that landed in a weird pose, her legs almost bent over her head. He then turned to the vine girl.

"Shiozaki-san! Are you alright? Where does it hurt?!" He kneeled beside her, carefully checking if any damage was done.

On the borderlines, Kendo froze for a moment, then rushed to help her friend. Uraraka and Jiro turned down their kill intent, truly concerned about the girl. And Himiko just stood there in her ridiculous landing pose.

"Aaaa… I messed up…" She would do a facepalm if she could move her arms. Or feel them.

Midoriya helped Shiozaki get up, offering to carry her to the infirmary. At that time Kendo arrived and immediately thanked him for taking care of her. Shiozaki simply smiled at him.

"There's no need, Midoriya-san, I'm fine"

"Are you sure? I don't mind and you shouldn't strain yourself after this"

"It's okay, see? Kendo-san is here. But I appreciate the gesture, thank you Midoriya-san" Shiozaki then let go of his shoulder and leaned on the orange girl that just arrived. Kendo looked at him with a half concerned half embarrassed face.

"Thanks for taking care of her, Midoriya"

"It's nothing… take care, okay?" He answered, blushing a little.

And unknown to them, Shiozaki noticed this.

"They are still uneasy around each other… I believe Midoriya is a good person but I have to know him better" "Umm, Midoriya-san, if it doesn't bother you, could we meet again to talk more about our training? I'd like to explain better how my Quirk works"

"Oh, sure. Whenever you want"

And so, Kendo and Shiozaki returned to their classmates. The whole scene got the attention of both classes and some of them exchanged looks. Then, something unexpected started to happen, beginning with Kirishima.

"Oi, where are you going, Kirishima?" Bakugo asked as the redhead walked towards the other side of the gym.

"Well… looking at Midoriya and this girl… I got an idea" He walked to the center of a fight ring and shouted. "Hey! Tetsutetsu! Wanna fight me?!"

The iron covered teen, who was currently enduring the drill attacks of Kaibara, looked at him with a curious look.

"Fight you? What are planning?" He said, approaching the ring.

"I thought that since we have similar Quirks, our weak points must be similar too"

"Resistance, right?"

"Yeah, so if we fight against each other we'll get better at keeping hardened, even being tired"

"Oh, that sounds like an awesome idea! You have a deal!"

"Really?! Cool! Then come at me, bro!" Kirishima hardened his arms and took a fighting stance.

"Hehe, I'm all fired up!" Tetsutetsu clinked his iron fists together and showed a wide sharp toothy grin.

Looking at the two manly boys, others followed suit. Ojiro came to Kaibara, asking if they could also spare, which the drill boy accepted. Kuroiro challenged Tokoyami to a Black Abyss Duel, chuniibyou as only could be, and the bird-headed teen agreed in the same level of edginess. Tsuburaba came to Bakugo and convinced the explosive teen into blasting his solid air barriers, not a difficult task once he mentioned Bakugo would probably fail at it. Tsunotori joined Iida on his laps to increase stamina and Bondo asked Sero what he usually did to trap enemies. In a short period of time, the two classes were practically working together, which left the two homeroom teachers, Eraser Head and Vlad King, surprised to say the least. Meanwhile, All Might buffed up and boomed his trademark laugh, bursting into smoke and coughing blood right after.

And midst of this, Himiko sat up on the floor, her eyes locked on the backs of the green haired teen.

"Umm… are mad at me… Izuku-kun?" She asked shyly, knowing the answer already.

"Mad at you? Oh no, nothing so simple like that…" He turned his head to glare at her, furious green flames burning in his eyes.

Fists clenched, heavy steps towards her, Midoriya towered over Himiko, his burning gaze from above actually making the blonde feel a little worried. He held at the hem of her jacket and pulled her up, leaving only the tip of her feet touching the floor. He didn't look furious but being this close to his face that had an upside-down curve on his lips, it was kind of terrifying for her. Usually, it was Himiko who instilled fear on others.

"Izuku-kun, you have a scary face right now, hehe…"

"Oh yeah? Good"

She swallowed dry.

"So you're really mad at me…"

"You think so? Let me see, you almost broke Shiozaki's arm. I guess we can say that"

"And what will you do about it? Will you punish me for being a bad girl?~" Maybe some flirting would trigger his shy side. She had no such luck.

"Not in the way you're thinking" He squinted his eyes, his glare intensifying.

Her smile wavered a bit.

"Come on, Izuku. It was just an arm lock. I didn't even disjoint her shoulder-"

"Just?! Seriously?!" He shook her a bit. "I don't know what keeps me from beating you senseless right now"

That statement made a chill run up her spine, but as soon as Himiko admitted she actually feared the intimidating emerald boy, something clicked in her mind. Slowly, her fanged smile returned to her face.

"Oho? Really? Why don't we guess what is stopping you? Perhaps… you developed a little attachment to me…?"

"Like I would keep you around if I didn't need you"

"Aha, you said it yourself! You. Need. Me~"

"Just because you have important information. Don't ever forget why you're here"

"I won't. But… you should tell yourself that too~"

"Tsk. It's just a game for you, isn't it?"

"Oh no, Shigaraki likes to play games. I told you Izuku, I love you" His arms shook with the anger building inside him. "And now that I think about it, with each day that passes you get to love me a tiny bit more. I don't care if it'll take long, one day you'll be mine, Izuku~"

"What makes you believe in this nonsense?"

She held a smug grin as she looked deep inside his eyes, taunting him.

"You didn't beat me yet. At least, not with your hands~"

"I- We still have things to do, you still hold information… and I'm not a villain like you"

"Right, but doesn't being a hero gives you permission to punch bad people if they do bad things? I was a bad girl, Izuku~ I'm waiting for my punishment~" She dared to raise a hand trace his jawline, leaning her head closer, almost touching foreheads. Her tone changed to a whisper.

"I still dream about it, our days and nights together… especially when we got, hehe, intimate~ I'm craving for you, Izuku… I can't wait to feel you going deep inside me again… and again… and again~ But I'll wait anyway because that's true, I don't have a choice. I'll wait for you because I know deep down you won't forget me, ever. Neither will I forget you~ That's why I decided to change… and that's what keeps you from beating me. The only reason why you keep me around, Izuku… it's because you care about me, even if you don't want to admit it"

She did it, Himiko actually did it… breaking through the flames of his rage, she hit Midoriya with her words, awakening that feeling he thought was buried for good, fear. It wasn't fear from her exactly, but from the actual truth in her words. She did change her behavior a little, and every day he saw signs that she was making a huge effort to act like a normal person, sometimes almost looking like a hero. It confused him and looking at her like this made her words replay on is mind. She would change herself just for him because she loved him. And if she really changed for good, would the rancor and the painful memories he was trying to get rid off be enough to keep her away from his life? If Himiko wasn't a villain… would he be able to return her feelings? These questions, these doubts that weighed on his shoulders drained his strength, forcing him to put her on the floor.

"Do you love me yet… Izuku?"

"... I don't…"

"Huh? What was that?"

"I. Don't. Love. You" He forced his eyes to look fierce, stopping his hands from shaking with sheer will power.

"Ooo, scary~ your eyes when you're so determined. I love it~"

Midoriya let go of Himiko, slightly pushing her. As he walked away, he caught Aizawa looking at him, his eyes asking if there were any problems. Midoriya gave him a small nod, and the teacher understood that everything was under control, or at least the kid thought so. He would deal with Toga later, as usual. He was surprised that it took her so long to act up like this and he didn't like it. The blondie was also being incredibly useful. When Midoriya left, another person joined Himiko, the brunette with a round face. Himiko didn't need to turn around as she knew that dark aura too well.

"Aren't you late to the show, Ochako-chan?"

"You… I think I don't have to repeat myself but-"

"Stay away from him, I know. But the thing is" She spun on her heels and looked at Uraraka, having her hands back and a wide smile on her face. "I'm willing to do what you want to but won't because you're a good girl"

"What are you saying? That I can't protect him?"

"Oh no, I'm sure you're more than capable. But… if you did so, well, it wouldn't be so good to your image, right? You heroes have to worry about these things, but me? Pffft. Accuse me of murder, see if I care?"

"So what? Will you be some guard dog or something?" Himiko had a point and Uraraka didn't like it.

"I can be if you don't want. I won't harm Izuku and I'll keep him safe and away from any, umm, nuisances. Of course, it can't be helped if he ends falling completely for me~" Himiko held that fanged grin, which infuriated Uraraka.

Taking a deep breath, the brunette prevented herself from jumping at the blonde's neck.

"We don't need your help to protect him, I don't need your help, and Izuku definitely doesn't need you. So keep telling yourself that he feels anything for you besides hate. By the end of this, when you're not useful anymore, I'll get rid of you myself if I have the chance"

Uraraka said then walked off following Midoriya to wherever he went to, leaving Himiko alone smiling and looking up at the clear sky.

"Whatever you say... Ochako-chan~"

Given the delicate situation of the cinnamon roll, most of the students decided to not pay attention to what happened, except for the girls from 1-A, for obvious reasons, and two from 1-B, Kendo and Tokage. But there was another person concerned about the green head, Shiozaki. She watched from afar while she recovered and didn't have any idea of what could they be talking about but one thing she understood, Midoriya was really distressed. That bothered her because if Kendo planned to be his girlfriend, she would need to deal with his problems too. It was common sense that couples relied on each other like this. So she had to know just how deep was the wound that Midoriya had on his afflicted soul, another item in her mental list to check him out.

-/-

On the next day, Midoriya headed to the 1-B dorms. Kendo sent a message saying that Shiozaki wanted to meet after classes ended, so he passed on his room to get one of his notebooks. Since she would tell him about her Quirk he would write everything down and analyze it carefully. He admitted he was a bit nervous. Though he was used to analyzing Quirks and even a little less prone to mumbling, he never did that talking directly with the person. Should he conduct some kind of interview or was it too formal? Also, his classmates were used to him running his mouth to some extent but Shiozaki was another story, plus she was from 1-B. The conjunct training yesterday was nice but the classes were still rivals.

"Well, Kendo said that she doesn't care about this rivals thing too much. Maybe I shouldn't think too much of it"

In fact, just to get here Midoriya already had some problems.

-Earlier-

Try to explain to his demanding harem that he was going out to help a girl from the other class. Alone. With a girl. Kendo told them during lunch that Shiozaki wouldn't cause any problems since she was quite innocent. That didn't convince the girls too much, given the vine girl's little mischief of the previous day. To that, both Kendo and Midoriya defended the absent girl, saying that is was an accident.

"Hhhm, accident or not I would feel better if you weren't alone with her" Uraraka said, holding a pout. She had seen this movie before. "It can be you, Kendo-san. Just keep things under control"

"It's okay, Uraraka-san. I'm not exaggerating when I say Shiozaki is almost a saint. Whenever we go to the pool, she only uses one-piece swimsuits. According to her, we shouldn't reveal 'so much skin' carelessly" She did the quotes with her fingers.

"Ribbit, a swimsuit sometimes looks more appealing than a revealing bikini"

"Yeah, showing off isn't everything" Ashido added, then turned around to the teen that was focused on his katsudon. Convincing them was standing more for telling them his plans since he would meet her anyway. "So Muscles, what do you think?~"

"Eh? Think of what?"

"What's your taste? Do you like revealing and tiny bikinis or you fancy skin-tight swimsuits better?~" Ashido flashed a smug grin as she saw Midoriya getting red by the minute.

"I-I don't know, umm… both are good…?"

"Nah, that's too vague, think about it" Ashido got closer and spoke in a lower voice. "Me and my slim body wrapped in a tight swimsuit, all my curves highlighted by the thin cloth~ or… Kendo, using a blue string bikini, the notches on the top struggling to hold on and the bottom barely covering anything~"

Midoriya choked on his food, while mentally cursing his own image forming capacity.

"W-why did use me as an example?!" Kendo, as red as Midoriya, questioned the pink skinned girl.

"Why not? You have a nice body. I'd put you right below Momo-chan on bust size. Above her only Mei, Yu and Nemuri" She said nonchalantly.

Kendo looked to the other pink haired girl, searching for some support. Hatsume simply looked back with the neutral face of someone who endured a lot already.

"You get used to it..."

"I'd say no clothes at all are the best~"

Once again Midoriya choked, having to drink some juice. Out of nowhere, Tokage voiced her thoughts, and just like that she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her chin on top of his head.

"What the- Tokage, what are doing here?" Kendo was the first to question the lizard girl.

"Oh, come on. You can't leave me out while talking is about bathing suits. Especially if it involves the tastes of this handsome here~" She scratched under his chin and leaned closer, maybe to kiss him, and that's when Kendo noticed.

"Tokage, are you sure that's the best way to use your Quirk...?"

Tokage wasn't completely present, only her arms and head floating around Midoriya.

"Yeah, you're right. I should have brought my chest too and press on his back~"

"Do that, dear, and see what happens" Everyone turned to the floating uniform. It wasn't every day you heard Hagakure threatening.

The rest of Tokage's body walked by and she reassembled, then looked at the table with an annoyed look.

"Come on girls, I thought we were fuck sisters already" At least she was speaking in a low voice.

"I don't recall such thing happening" Yaoyorozu stared back at the green haired girl with equal annoyance in her eyes.

"You don't but I bet Midoriya here remembers pretty well~"

"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about. I told you it was a one-time thing…" He refocused on his food.

Tokage detached her head and hands, floating in front of the boy.

"Please please please, Midoriya. I'll do anything you want, literally. I won't kink-shame, I promise"

The floating head then felt hands held her. The grip was kinda strong.

"Oh my, I must be getting soft or you're really brave to talk shit in front of me" The cheery tone of Uraraka's threats was what made them really scary. The brunette turned the floating head around and looked deep down in her dark green eyes.

"H-hi, Uraraka. Are you the boss or something…?"

"Boss? Do you think we are around just for sex?"

"Well… you're not?"

"No you fucking cunt!" Jiro put a hand on the brunette's shoulder. "~sigh~ No, Tokage-san, that's not it. I think Deku-kun told you that we're serious about it, right?"

"Yeah, he said that but I wasn't too convinced. I mean, two or three okay, but all these girls falling in love with the same guy? That's just…" Uraraka did the favor of turning the floating head around so the lizard girl could see all the faces glaring at her. "... absolutely amazing! That's why I want to join you guys so much. You see, I also love this cinnamon roll of sunshine!"

"Says the girl who promised to do literally anything. I sense desperation, and that's just sad to look at" Yaoyorozu was merciless.

"Don't say it like that… wouldn't you also do anything for him? As in anything… on the bed too?"

The black haired girl looked aside, a faint blush coming to her cheeks.

"Let's do it this way, each one of us asks you something and you say if you would do it for him. Depending on your answers, we can think about your case" Uraraka said. "Of course, the final word is from Deku-kun"

Tokage made a determined face.

"Okay, bring on"

"So I'll go first. Between doing your favorite thing in the world and just sitting with Izuku, doing absolutely nothing, what do you choose?" Hatsume said.

"Absolutely nothing…?"

"Yep. Keep in mind that I practically live for inventing things"

"Ummm…" They wouldn't make it easy for her, right? "I would stay with him"

"Next question. If Muscles wanted to go extra rough on you-"

"Ribbit, let's not go there yet" Tsuyu cut Ashido. "He's always training a lot to be a better hero, and I mean a lot. Would you let him alone to train or would you tell him to spend time with you?"

"Uuh… honestly, if that's the case I would just train with him, even if I can't keep up all the time"

"Another one. He's kind of weird sometimes, goes around mumbling and is a huge nerd when it comes to heroes. Would you ignore it or ask him to change?"

"It was a bit cruel, wasn't it, Kyoka...?" Midoriya thought with himself. She looked at him and gave an I'm sorry look. The lizard girl thought about it.

"It's what he likes, isn't it? And I can't really change how he acts, otherwise, it wouldn't be him. I would learn to like these things, even if they look weird"

"Alright, my time. What would you do if Cutie here said he doesn't like the way you look. You change or leave?"

Tokage turned to the invisible girl.

"I don't know him that well but something tells me he wouldn't say something like that. That said, if it was something that could help me improve myself, then I'd do it without thinking twice" She received quick claps out of the void.

"Ahem, let's try again. So you're not the sharpest tool in the shed and you're aware of it. Muscles here is a genius, so imagine he says he won't have a dumb girl around him. What do you do?" Ashido said looking at the frog girl sometimes.

"Again, I doubt he'd say that, but if I'm lacking in brains I have no choice but study more. I'm staying with him no matter what" The pink haired girl gave a quick nod.

"Now, about what I said before-" "Ribbit, next question"

"Despite being young we're heroes in training. In a dangerous situation with people in risk, if you had to leave him behind to save them, would you do it?" Yaoyorozu emanated that powerful aura of authority.

"Oi oi, aren't we getting too serious here?" Midoriya was starting to get worried, but the question made him curious about what would Tokage say.

"It's a tough question… we are all heroes and risking our lives is what we do, but if it came to that… I would probably, no, I would definitely find another way out to save both him and the people in danger" That answer put a genuine look of surprise on Yaoyorozu's face.

"Tokage, if the only way to get with him was to give up on your dream or something like that, would you do it?" The orange haired girl looked into her friend's eyes.

"That's easy. I'm sure he would want me to pursue it and do what I like. That's why you like him, right Kendo? He understands you" She answered with a smile, which Kendo returned.

She then faced Uraraka again. The brunette didn't seem moved by her words so far, having a neutral, if not bored face.

"Okay, last question, and this one is serious. If Izuku got his life at risk, would you take his place to save him?"

"Ochako-" Midoriya started but her eyes made him stop.

"I have to know, Izuku. So, would you do it or not?"

Tokage was shocked. These girls were really serious about it. Now she understood why Midoriya said those things to her and why Kendo was having some problems.

"No, I wouldn't" The others looked shocked, but Ochako kept silent, paying attention to the lizard girl. "I wouldn't because… if he really loved me, he would feel sad and guilty, and I don't want that. So I would find another way to save him, and if I didn't it, I'd make one myself. And that's because I know he would do the same for me"

Tokage didn't look afraid or nervous while she said that, and to her surprise, Uraraka showed a friendly smile, something the lizard girl thought impossible to happen since she was a girl trying to 'get her man'.

"Well, that is if he loves me, right...?" The brunette then turned the detached head to the green haired teen. He flinched when all the eyes on the table focused on him.

"So, what do you say, Deku-kun? She looks honest, at least"

Midoriya locked eyes with Tokage. She was really expectant for his answer.

"Ummm, I don't think I can say I love you right now…"

Lizard girl heard that and her lips curved into a small smile. At least she tried. She could feel some droplets threatening to escape through the corners of her eyes.

"... but after that, I can definitely learn to" Her eyes shone with hope.

"Really…?"

"I did say you looked better when you were honest" He reached out and held her head on his hands. She looked up at him and simply started to giggle, then floated to lean on his chest.

"Yes, you did"

It was a bit weird to hug a floating head but he did it anyway. Luckily, Principal Nezu expanded the lunchroom and they had bigger tables and another room. The place they were was more isolated so they had at least some privacy to talk and do this kind of things. After the cute moment, Tokage got back to normal and Tsuyu gave her seat beside Midoriya for today. The lizard girl instantly grabbed his arm and nuzzled under his chin, smiling like a kid hugging a teddy bear.

"Ahem, that's cute but let's not get too frisky" Uraraka said. "Now, Deku-kun, back to you seeing Shiozaki-san"

"Oh, you're going to see Shiozaki?"

"We're discussing that" Uraraka told Tokage.

"Look, I know you girls are kinda overprotective but you can chill. Shiozaki wouldn't even know where to start"

"You say that as if you weren't a virgin some days ago" Midoriya said, returning to his food.

"Y-y-you don't have to s-say that to everyone!"

"He told us the night you two fucked" Ashido teased the new member of the harem, who looked back at him.

"Really?!"

-Present-

"In the end, I came without them agreeing. Not that I would do any different, I'm not going to fuck with Shiozaki. Umm, yeah, hearing myself saying that is kinda disturbing…"

He shook his head a little before stopping in front of the building. Before he could even text Kendo, the orange haired girl came out along with her green-haired friend.

"Oh my god Kendo, cancel the gym, we're going back to bed"

"Shut up, Tokage. Right on time, Midoriya. I'll call her" Kendo went back inside to call Shiozaki, leaving him alone with Tokage. She quickly got to his side, humming. He didn't know what to say.

"So… umm"

"Izuku"

"Yes…?"

She got closer to his ear.

"Wanna fuck?~"

"N-n-now?!"

"Well, I was thinking of tonight at that secret room of yours, but since you're so eager~"

Tokage reached under his shirt and he took a step back right before Kendo came out again, followed by Shiozaki. Kendo got a glimpse of the scene and pointed an accusing finger at Tokage, who just shrugged.

"So here she is. Let's go Tokage, we have a lot of laps to do" Kendo said, dragging her friend along.

"Thank you again for lending me your help, Midoriya-san"

"Don't mention it. Well, how do you want to do this? I have never done it with someone else before"

"Follow me, please"

Shiozaki lead the way to a part of the forest that circled U.A's complex. There, they sat under the shade of a tree.

"Do you like to be in nature?"

"Yes, I enjoy the tranquility and feeling of peace" She ran a hand through the short soft grass. "What about you?"

"Umm, I think it's nice. Heh, I probably started to notice the landscape more after cleaning the beach…" He thought out loud. At least he wasn't mumbling.

"A beach?"

"Oh, erm, there's a beach near my house and it used to be a huge junkyard. My training for the admission exams was basically cleaning it"

"That is wonderful!"

"Really?"

"Yes. Good deeds help us to alleviate our guilt. Everyone should do it"

"I see… anyway, we can start with your Quirk. I can see you have full control of your vines but what else you can do? Is there some particular trait you find interesting?" He opened his notebook on the page he began for her during the Sports Festival.

"Let's see… I can detach them at will, though my control remains normal. After some time they wither as normal vines would. I don't like to do it much because I get bald and growing them again takes time and a lot of care…" She smiled uneasily that was definitely the trait of her Quirk that she wanted to change the most. Maybe he didn't find that interesting enough to-

"I see, so they are basically plants. Indeed it resembles Arbor from Kamui Woods, being manipulation of plant matter but with some key differences. For starters, I don't think he can control any wood that has been cut out and since vines are more flexible you have a larger range of constructs to work with… if you can control any part of your vines independent of the section that was cut, you could make small traps like that cocoon and avoid losing the roots… but that could be too much multitasking if you have to focus on each trap to keep them holding on… what do you think, Shiozaki-san?"

When Midoriya looked away from his book he found the girl looking at him with wide eyes and her mouth slightly open.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to mumble all that!"

It took her a moment to register what he just said.

"That's… that's not it, you talked loud and clear. I'm just amused that you can say so much about my Quirk with that short description"

"I guess I have a lot of practice, hehe"

So Shiozaki began to ponder all the information he showered her with.

"It never occurred to me that I could cut my hair in smaller sections…. I think it's worth a try. If you could, Midoriya-san" She held some strands to him and he looked at her a bit worried.

"Are you okay with this? You never tried that before and I don't want to hurt you"

"I am grateful for your concern but it's fine. They are not that strong as Kamui's Arbor so they get to cut a lot, actually. I don't feel any pain when it happens"

"So they don't have neural terminations…" The green teen held the strands and summoned a percentage of One for All, ripping it apart after some time applying tension. "Wow, it's stronger than I thought. Can you still control them?"

Shiozaki just looked at the vines and they wrapped around his arm, getting tighter.

"Wonderful! I barely have to think, just like what I do normally"

As the vines let go of his arm, Midoriya returned to his book, writing some more details, apparently.

"Cool, now we have something different to work out. You can talk with Mei about making a more functional prototype but with a support item like this it will be much easier to cut them"

Midoriya then showed her a sketch of what looked like collapsible scissors attached to some gauntlets.

"You can even wrap some vines on top of it to fit your costume better. Oh, and I have some ideas for things you can build. If you make some tresses with your hair like this you can increase the strength and…"

His voice started to fade away, mixing with the sounds of the background, like he was part of the nature around them. He kept moving his mouth and point out drawings and writing more lines on his note and Shiozaki simply followed, nodding in autopilot from time to time. Time seemed to slow down to the pace of a sleepy turtle, the space around her got blurry and brighter, though they were under a tree. It was like the universe decided to focus all its attention in that single moment. Suddenly every trait about him was easily perceived. Shiozaki looked at each detail of his face, the shape of his nose, the freckles on his cheeks that were an invite to form constellations, the curls of his dark green hair and the way the light played with it, putting highlights here and there. His eyes had an amusing light to them, the light of a powerful flame behind an emerald screen of kindness. He kept talking and talking, and now his lips looked so soft to the touch, that she wondered how would it feel like.

At that moment, it dawned on her. Shiozaki practically heard a choir singing from heavens and bells ringing.

"It's… he… he is PERFECT! Oh, Kendo-san, I'm so, so happy you found such a wonderful boy! Aaw, I can't wait to see you two together. But first I have to deal with his shyness. Midoriya is too insecure"

Earlier, at lunchtime, the group of girls and the emerald boy were more isolated from the other students but that didn't stop Shiozaki from keeping an eye on him, even more when she saw Tokage walking to their table. She didn't know what they talked about but it was clear to her Kendo was struggling to be accepted. And now that she knew Midoriya better it all made sense. Being the precious boy he was, of course, his friends would try to protect him.

"Maybe some of them even like him! Midoriya must be afraid of what his friends would say about him and Kendo together. That won't do, you must stand up and tell them the truth, Midoriya-san. They'll understand, they are your friends"

Now, to make this boy admit in front of everyone that he loved Kendo...

"It must be really boring for you. I got carried away, sorry"

"Eh?"

Midoriya was saying something that she didn't register completely. Boring? Oh, of course, she zoned out and probably was looking completely uninterested in whatever he was talking about, when in fact it was the opposite. She really liked to hear him talk.

"Oh, by no means, I just zoned out a little. Your ideas are splendid and I'm eager to test them out, so if I'm not asking too much, would you assist me again in this?"

He stared at her for a moment, then shone a bright smile.

"Sure, whenever you want"

Closing his notebook, Midoriya let his body fall on the grass, taking a deep breath and putting his hands behind his head.

"~sigh~ It's good to do something normal for a change"

"Normal?" He got so relaxed Midoriya said without thinking.

"Umm, yeah, between the hero training and regular classes I don't get to work on my notes like this. Back at middle school that occupied most of my time" Actually, he was talking about how his life made a wild twist, having a demanding harem of girls. Not that he didn't like to spend time with them and have sex. It was awesome. But a few times he could relax like that. Last time it happened Kendo caught him with Hatsume and Jiro.

"I see. It is a new experience for me too. I'm aware of the rivalry between our classes but I hope we all can work together like this"

"Heh, that's something I'd like to see too"

Then silence fell between them. A gentle breeze blew by.

"Ne, Midoriya, how are things going with Kendo?"

"Pretty well. Today we had… Sh-Shiozaki-san, what d-did you say…?" Did he hear that right?

"How are things going with Kendo? You two have been hanging out more lately, right?"

"Calm down, Izuku. Kendo didn't tell anyone. It's normal to ask that, Shiozaki is her friend" "Umm, we're doing fine. I was thinking of starting to workout together, maybe some sparring…?"

"That's nice. And when will you two make it official?"

"Eh?"

Shiozaki turned to him.

"You two are dating each other, but that's not official yet, right? I was wondering when will you tell everyone"

He sat up in a flash, eyes widened and sweat starting to form on his forehead.

"Where did you g-get that from…?"

"Kendo told me. Well, not exactly her, she was talking with Tokage and I overheard some of it"

His hands started to shake.

"Oh no, no, no, this is not happening…" "... What exactly did you hear, Shiozaki-san…?" Maybe he could convince her she misunderstood something.

"Hmm, apparently Kendo was bragging about getting a boyfriend and Tokage started to joke about it. Then I asked who it was and Tokage said it was you, but honestly, I had my suspicions for some time"

"You don't say…"

"Not to sound too cocky but I'm really good at telling what people are feeling. But that doesn't matter now, we have more important things to discuss"

"We do?

"Yes" She looked at him with a more serious face. "Midoriya-san, you shouldn't be afraid of being in a relationship with Kendo. There's no need to hide it from everyone"

"Wait, what do you mean?"

I saw you with your friends during lunch. I'm glad that you're keeping her by your side as much as you can but you need to be more assertive"

"Eh?!"

"What I'm trying to say is, even if one of your friends end feeling sad, you cannot be afraid of loving Kendo. Love is a beautiful feeling and it deserves to be shown, above all to the person you love"

Okay, maybe she didn't know as much as he thought.

"Umm, Shiozaki-san, I think you misunderstood some things"

"I'm sure I didn't. I understand you care for your friends, one of the girls might even like you, but you have to take action. Kendo-san is more lively these days. I believe both of us agree that she deserves the best, am I correct?"

"Yes, sure-"

Shiozaki sprung to her feet, looking really excited.

"Then go there and confess to her again, this time in front of everyone! I'll be rooting for your happiness as a couple!"

"Confess?! And in front of everyone?! I can't do s-something like-"

"Yes, you can! I believe in you, Midoriya-san! Well then, thank you one more time for helping me with my abilities. I shall put all your ideas to good use. Farewell, Midoriya-san. Let's work hard on our missions"

And then the vine girl left Midoriya alone, under the tree. Still looking at her direction, Midoriya thought that it could have been worse. Shiozaki didn't know about his harem and she wasn't planning to tell what she knew to anyone so, everything under control? Well, since he would meet with Tokage tonight anyway, he would have a little talk with her about how secrets are supposed to work.

"Umm, Kendo?"

"Yes?"

"Shiozaki-san… she's staring at us again…"

Midoriya sweatdropped as he felt the gaze of the vine girl on his back. For the past three days she followed him and watched from afar, but thanks to her unique hair it wasn't so hard to spot her. Right now she was hiding, or trying to, behind a column at the gym. As he said, Midoriya and Kendo were working out together, currently running on the treadmills along with Ashido and Kyoka. He tried not to alert the two girls as it could end pretty bad, given his previous experiences. As for the ginger hair teen, she let out a sigh and slowed down on her run.

"Okay, I'm going to talk with her"

"Wait, wait" Midoriya practically jumped out of the treadmill and went after her. "I don't think this is a good idea"

"Why not? We should explain to her that we're not dating. Umm, supposedly"

"That's the problem. If we tell her that she'll think we're ~sigh~ afraid of our feelings…"

"It… does sound like something she would say"

"Any chance of making her think it was just a crush and we moved on?"

"Not if I keep around you. But I have to admit, the idea makes me very happy. You shouting to the world: I love you, Itsuka! Hehehe"

He then held her hand in the stealthiest way he could.

"You know I love you, right?"

"Yes, but would be easier if everyone knew you are already taken~"

"I see someone is starting to get jealous" He joked.

"That's what I get for being around Uraraka, hahahaha… Don't tell her I said that"

"Ne, did you finish already, Muscles?" Ashido joined the duo, wiping some of the sweat from her forehead with a towel.

"Just making a quick pause and back to action"

"Uuh, speaking of getting back to action, how about we have some fun tonight?~" Once again Tokage came out of nowhere, clinging on the green teen.

"Oi, aren't you asking too much for someone who just arrived?" Jiro looked at the green haired girl with an annoyed face.

"I know he can handle us all so why not?~ Plus, I wasn't presented to everyone, right? There's still Midnight-sensei and Mt. Lady"

"Oho, so you want to be in the same room as Nemuri? You'll have a huge surprise. Don't say I didn't warn you~" Ashido teased the lizard girl.

Meanwhile, looking from her hideout, Shiozaki waved her head. This way he would never get to confess. And she thought her words of encouragement would be enough to bring the shy boy out of his shell.

"Maybe I should try a more direct approach? Hmm, Midoriya is always around one of the girls of his class. During lunchtime Hatsume from the support course always appears and recently Kendo and Tokage joined them. Apparently, Midoriya spends a good amount of time here on the gym or doing homework…"

Shiozaki looked closer at the small group. Now the invisible girl and Yaoyorozu joined them. They seemed to discuss something. If she at least knew the topic.

So the vine girl sneaked around, passing by the many weights and treadmills. Luckily there was a free treadmill near them. Seize the opportunity, she thought. Shiozaki quickly jumped on the machine and turned it on, slowly increasing the speed while she tried to catch some of their talk.

Something, something, something "tonight" yadda yadda "everyone together", more indecipherable muttering and giggles. That seemed interesting. If she did this right, Midoriya could confess in front of all his friends and finally make it official with Kendo.

"Yosh! Now I just need to know what they are planning and-"

Shiozaki's line of thought was cut when she noticed the treadmill shifted into maximum speed. You see, since there are Quirks related to speed like Iida's Engine, these types of equipment had a separate set proper to them, and Shiozaki accidentally activated it since she was clicking on the panel without looking. As the track under her revved up, she started to panic and run as fast as she could to reach the stop button, but she was already too far. Almost losing her breath completely, she tripped on her own vines, being ejected from the machine. Shiozaki mentally braced herself for the impact with the hard floor and humiliation, but the former wasn't as hard as she thought. Opening her eyes, she noticed a pair of arms around her, some scars visible on them. Looking up, she found the non-official boyfriend of her friend.

"Shiozaki-san, are you okay?! Did you get hurt?"

"Eh? Midoriya-san?"

It happened so fast that her brain didn't register it properly. In one moment she was launched from the treadmill. On the other, Midoriya held her in his arms.

"Did you hit your head? Are you feeling dizzy? How many fingers do you see?"

"Umm, three…?"

"Shiozaki?" Kendo came to see what was going on.

They were all teasing him about tonight and suddenly he sparked and vanished. Seeing the vine girl safe on his arms and the treadmill speed at 70km/h and counting, she connected the dots and understood what happened.

"Nice catch, Midoriya" Jiro said making some small claps.

Midoriya helped Shiozaki back to her feet and Kendo came to them.

"Shiozaki, you have to be careful with the treadmills. All of them have turbo mode"

"I know it. Forgive me, I got distracted"

Kendo tilted her head. It wasn't common for Shiozaki to get distracted like this, especially when she was training.

"Well, if you're in one piece, then everything is fine. Pay more attention next time, okay?"

"Will do. Umm, than you for the save, Midoriya-san"

"It's nothing. You being well is what matters"

That line caught her off guard. Shiozaki let out another thank you really quick and walked away with hasty steps. There was the fact that her little accident drawn the attention of the gym to her, but the main reason for her hasty leave was this weird feeling she got in her stomach.

"... weird"

That night, after finishing her homework, which wasn't much compared to the pile of extra work Aizawa-sensei passed to his 'less academic' students, Shiozaki went full ninja and waited outside in a bush for when Kendo left later. She would definitely discover what they were up to. The time passed. And passed. And no sign of Kendo coming out. Did they cancel whatever they were going to do? It was half past midnight already and-

"Shhh, stay quiet. You'll wake the entire building, Tokage" Shiozaki heard the voice of the ginger head.

"The stairs were completely dark, I almost fell" Now she heard Tokage.

Peeking out of her hiding stop, she saw the two girls leaving the building and going somewhere.

"What could possibly force them all to meet so late in the night?"

Dashing from cover to cover, Shiozaki followed the two girls as they sneaked to another building. If she wasn't mistaken it was the Support Course building. Before getting inside, they met with someone. It was a little dark so Shiozaki wasn't sure of who it was. As they followed inside, Shiozaki got out of the bush she was hiding and went after them, as silent as she could. Her two friends crossed the hallways with the unidentified person until they came to a dead end, heading to the last door. The vine girl poked her head around the corner, then the door slid open and the light from inside illuminated the trio. At that moment she witnessed the most shocking scene so far in her life. The unknown person wasn't so unknown, it was Midoriya, and guess what? He was kissing Tokage! And not a simple peck on the cheek but a deep, soap opera worth kiss. And Kendo was just staring!

Shiozaki was so mind blown that she couldn't help but shout. "W-what is going on here?!" Then she remembered she was supposed to stay hidden.

Both green and ginger heads turned to the source of the sound, shock plastered all over their pale faces. It was more than enough to make Shiozaki's brain kick into desperate mode, resulting in the vine girl leaving the scene as fast as Iida running. After a brief moment processing their current situation, Midoriya, Tokage, and Kendo dashed after the girl.

"Damn it Tokage, I told you to wait until we get inside!" Kendo shouted at the lizard girl.

"How was I supposed to know Shiozaki was there?! What was she doing here, anyway?"

"Oh no, no, no, not again…" Midoriya said under his breath, looking already drained.

The chase went back to 1-B dorms, but before they could get to Shiozaki, she entered the building and locked herself on her room. Midoriya stood outside, of course, then a minute later the two girls came out again, still a little breathless.

"She's in her room. I don't think she'll get out until morning" Kendo told him.

"Umm, what do we do now?" Tokage asked shyly.

"I don't know… I'll have to ask Nemuri and-"

"Wait, wait, anything but that!" The lizard girl suddenly looked desperate.

"What are you talking about, Tokage? It's obvious we need help to solve this problem" The orange haired girl said.

"I know, I know, but look… I messed up. If the girls know I was the responsible-"

"Don't worry, they won't do you any harm" Midoriya assured her.

"How do you know that? I wouldn't be surprised if Uraraka decided to send me into orbit…"

"I'll make sure nothing happens"

Despite the tough situation they were Midoriya still managed to show a warm smile, which made the two girls feel more at ease.

"Still… can we wait to tell them about this? Let me and Kendo try to fix this ourselves"

"Oi, why do I have to help you clean your mess?"

"Come on, Kendo. You can't let me down now"

"~sigh~ Fine. But I really don't like hiding it from the others. If they find out about this, things can get pretty ugly"

"A thousand thanks, Kendo, I know I can count on you!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Umm, should we go to the room again?" She asked the emerald boy.

"Well, if we don't appear they'll suspect of something. That and the girls got pretty eager for tonight…"

"True, I'm also very eager~"

"So much that you just got us another problem" Kendo pointed to her friend.

Meanwhile, in the dark of her room, Shiozaki had her face buried into her pillow. Still pretty shaken by what she saw and the run back to the dorms (she never expected them to run after her), her mind raced with dozens of thoughts. Didn't he like Kendo? What in the world was Tokage doing there since she also knew about it? Could it be that she got jealous and tried to steal him from Kendo? If so, why didn't Kendo herself do something since it happened in front of her? And thinking more about it, she still didn't know what they were going to do, or why they went to that room. Would the other girls from 1-A really join them?

Shiozaki groaned. She couldn't get a single clear answer, but what confused her more was this weird feeling she got when she saw them kissing. It was similar to when she realized Midoriya was the perfect guy for Kendo, but it had a different twist to it this time. It wasn't like she didn't want the lizard girl to find happiness in her life too, but seeing her being so intimate with him made her heart sink a bit.

"... would I feel the same thing… if it was Kendo…?"

She shook her head.

"No, I don't have time to waste thinking about how I feel. I don't know what lead to this but there has to be an explanation. Yes, sure! If I confront him, I can definitely get Midoriya to admit he likes Kendo-san. But first I must know that they were going to do"

-/-

The sun rose once again and another morning went normally for the students of 1-A, except for two girls who couldn't stop but glance every five minutes at their vine haired friend. Since Shiozaki greeted them during breakfast as nothing happened, they got more and more anxious. How to address this subject? Honestly, they were counting on Shiozaki's rather innocent nature to pull another trick on her. They didn't like to lie to their friend but the thing going on with the emerald boy had to stay a secret. Ironically, Kendo questioned herself about this being a secret, given the number of persons involved. Anyway, it had to be done some time, so after class Kendo dragged Tokage to find Shiozaki.

"Wait up, umm, do you even have a plan? How are you going to tell her?"

"I don't know, think about something"

"M-me?! Weren't you going to help me, Kendo?!"

"And I am, look, Shiozaki is right there, under the tree. Now go and do what you have to do"

"Oh, come on, you can't leave me alone now, Kendo…"

"It was your idea so deal with it"

Kendo gave an encouraging push to the dark green haired girl, who looked back one more time before letting out a defeated sigh.

"I can't keep my mouth shut…"

Tokage slowly approached Shiozaki, who was leaning against a tree and calmly reading a book. She stopped a few steps from her, still clueless about how to begin.

"Ummm, hey, Shiozaki…"

The girl lifted her eyes from the book and looked at her uneasy friend.

"Greetings, Tokage-san. Can I assist you with something?"

"Well, actually… umm, I have to… there's something I… ~sigh~" Tokage simply gave up and sat beside her. "We have to talk"

"Oh, and what would be the topic?"

"You know it already. You… you saw us… yesterday, didn't you?"

Shiozaki closed the book and put it aside.

"Yes, I have seen it. Since I don't intend to judge based on something without context, could you tell me exactly what lead to that situation?"

"It's… complicated"

"I have time"

"Ugh… you see, I-I have been talking with M-Midoriya lately-"

"It seems to me you're doing more than just talking"

"Yeah, maybe. The thing is… after some time I started to think that I may be developing a small crush on him"

"The small developing type of crush that makes you kiss him right on the lips"

Tokage didn't know where to look.

"Okay, I guess I went too far"

"You guess?"

"C-come on, Shiozaki. Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same time if you were in my place"

Shiozaki slowly turned to Tokage with a serious yet tranquil face.

"I wouldn't, Tokage-san, and the reason should be obvious. Kendo has feelings for Midoriya, feelings that surpass those of a simple crush. And since I'm her friend I am ish that she can achieve happiness in her life. I thought you felt the same way, but I might be mistaken"

"No, no, I also want him to be happy and all but…"

"But?"

"But… shouldn't I also be happy…?"

"By stealing Kendo's love? Can you really live with that sin crawling on your back?"

"A sin? I didn't kill anyone, Shiozaki"

"It's not about the severity, but the act itself. You betrayed Kendo's trust"

"What? No, I- it's not what you're thinking, Shiozaki"

"Denying it won't do any good, Tokage-san. The best thing is to admit your mistakes and repent"

She didn't like having this talk at all. Besides the delicate matter, her talks with Shiozaki revolved about these kinds of things more than she liked. She got it, her quirk had some symbolism to it and she liked to be a 'good girl' but damn, that got annoying with the time.

"Okay, I admit I felt a bit jealous of Kendo. I can't help it, what's not to like in him, am I right?" She tried to appeal to Shiozaki's not so righteous side as she was still a girl in high school.

"I'm pretty aware of the many qualities Midoriya-san possess, which is why I'm sure he's nigh perfect"

That was her cue. Time to turn the tables.

"Uuh~ perfect, you say. How can you know that for sure, huh? Have you two been getting intimate lately?~"

"I wouldn't use that word but yes, he assisted me with my Quirk. I had to see for myself why Kendo-san liked him so much and if he was a suitable person for her"

"Aw, isn't that the noblest thing I had ever seen?~ Heh, and you gonna tell me that after knowing him better not a single spark of interest lit in your heart"

"It didn't. I know he likes Kendo-san and she likes him back. That's more than enough reasons for me to stay back"

"That's not what I said. I'm saying that even doing all that, you still feel something for him"

And to her surprise, Shiozaki actually flinched a bit. It was subtle but she had a very faint and pink blush in her cheeks. Her calm and controlled expression got just a little hint of flustering.

"I don't have these kinds of feelings for Midoriya. I simply respect him as a worthy rival and classmate, not to mention his incredible analysis abilities, and his versatility in combat, and his strong physics despite the lean look…"

"Oho, looks like someone else is infatuated with the cinnamon roll~"

"I-I'm not infatuated with him, Tokage"

"Are you sure? Because I'm curious… why did you run when you saw me kissing him?"

Her face turned a little pinker and she looked more confused.

"That feeling again, just by hearing her mention it… I don't harbor any feelings for him despite respect. He's going to return Kendo's feelings, not… mine?"

Seeing the vine girl going into an internal monologue, Tokage decided that it would be enough to hide any suspicions Shiozaki could have. In the worst case, Tokage would be the envious one trying to steal Kendo's boy. She could work with that.

"Just to let you know, neither Kendo or Midoriya got mad at me. He just said he didn't feel the same and Kendo complained that I didn't tell her before. They are too nice" She said as she got up to leave.

Deep inside she felt good because she managed to at least crack that wall of nobility Shiozaki always held up. It wasn't like she hated her but it was nice to see a more normal side of the vine girl. Tokage truly worried that Shiozaki would end as a proud virgin or something. But before she could really leave, Shiozaki called her.

"Wait, Tokage-san, I have something to ask you. What were you going to do in that room with the girls from 1-A?"

The green haired girl went stiff like a statue. She wasn't expecting her to ask that so how should she answer? Should she even answer?

"Erm, how did… what makes you think they would be there…?"

"I'm not proud of it but I overheard some of your talk at the gym"

Well, damn.

"About that, you see…"

As the sun hid behind the horizon, the emerald boy finished his extra laps for today. He had to keep his mind occupied or else it would inevitably wander to Shiozaki. Incredible, when he thought things couldn't get any more complicated, that happened. Maybe they should stop doing this kind of things until they graduated. He frowned a little at that thought.

"Would they still want to be with me if we stopped…" He shook his head vigorously. "Don't even think about it. Of course they would. You're just being ridiculous. Yeah, they all love you, Izuku. Heck, even- even her?"

Caught up in his thoughts, Midoriya didn't see the incoming object after him. When his mind registered the mass of green plants covered in thorns it was too late and they were already hitting the floor. Midoriya then noticed two things. One, he had vines tangled all over his body, and two, Shiozaki was too close to him. Oh, the irony, now she was doing the tackle. Harnessing every drop of self-control he had, Midoriya tried to stay calm and not burst into a stuttering spree.

"Shiozaki-san? What brings you here? And why such a hurry?" Nice, a normal sentence without stumbling on his words.

Her dark green eyes met with his emerald ones, and he wasn't sure about what he was looking at. She seemed radiant with something and… sad at the same time. Every girl was unique and had her own ways of showing how they felt, but after some time and having so many girls around him, Midoriya discovered that the eyes said a lot about what they felt. Even Tsuyu's blank stare wasn't more so blank to him, and he could see through Mina's always energetic way, knowing when something bothered her. Once again, with Tooru it was something special between them, but she had always been transparent with her feelings. Back to Shiozaki, she didn't answer him but he could tell it was something important, at least to her.

"Shiozaki-san...?"

Another minute went by in silence before she cupped his cheeks with her hands, a big smile appearing in her face.

"YOU ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED?!"

"I'm gonna WHAT?!"

How? How did he end here? What sequence of events could bring him to this exact point in time and space? When All Might said he could be a hero. Yes, at that point he knew his life would never be the same. Midoriya would never imagine himself tangled in the vine hair of a girl while she shouted something about him getting married. She kept smiling and squealing like a crazy fangirl while he remained lost. Where did that come from?

"Tokage told me everything! Aw, Midoriya-san, you should have said before you wanted to propose her. And here I was thinking you were afraid of confessing"

Yeah, they were on completely different pages here.

"Tokage told you? Told you what, exactly? I'm not following…"

"You don't have to fake it, I completely support your decision. At first, when she said that I thought: what?! How? Did they even hold hands already? But Tokage explained everything. Getting all the girls that were vying for your attention, you're really bold, you know it?"

"Hold up, did she tell Shiozaki about yesterday?!" "Shiozaki-san, when you say she told you everything, you mean absolutely everything...?"

Her smile widened, if that was even possible.

"Yes! Everything that happened once your classmates arrived at that room, in great detail. I'm so proud of you, Midoriya-san, I really wanted to see it myself!"

His eyes widened in shock.

"Y-you wanted to s-see it?! Really?!"

"Well, it was a special moment for Kendo-san, and I'm sure the other girls found it special too. I'm sure they'll be happy for you choosing Kendo"

Something was missing here but he couldn't care less right now. Panic took over him and Midoriya sat up, struggling to hold Shiozaki firmly on her arms. She got startled with the sudden reaction, looking at the green haired teen with confusion in her face. He looked back at her with a serious and kinda desperate expression.

"Shiozaki-san, you can't tell anyone about it"

"Eh? What do you mean? This is something to celebrate and-"

"Look, I don't know exactly how you feel about it, I was sure you'd freak out if you ever found out, but no one else can know about me and the girls"

"Me? Freak out? Don't be so dramatic, Midoriya-san. What harm could be done if others got to know?" She asked innocently, prompting a rather energetic response from him. Even being ridiculously obvious, he really had to make her understand the severity of his current situation. His voice waved a bit while he shook her lightly, making sure she got every word right.

"Shiozaki-san, I have a harem. I had sex with eleven girls yesterday. Eleven. One of them is a pro-hero and our teacher. No one else can know about it, absolutely no one"

If he was to tell by her face, he was successful in making it clear just how serious it was. Midoriya never imagined Shiozaki would be so open-minded, even stating that she would like to see him and his girlfriends 'in action'. Maybe she had a thing to watch from the sideways, but he wasn't going to judge since he did anything on the bed to please his lovely ladies.

"To think Shiozaki would have these preferences, I would never guess. The more you know…"

It has been some time now and the vine girl still didn't move, her face still stuck in that expression of shock with her eyes widened and her lips pressed into a flat line. Was it that much of a shock to her or-

"S… s… s-sex…?" She apparently resumed her brain functions.

"Yeah, sex"

"As in… what a man and a woman… do when they're alone…?"

"Umm, yes, though I usually have a lot of company…"

"... And you said… ha-harem? That thing with… many women and a single man…?"

"I believe the name applies to the opposite, but yes. Do you get why you have to keep this a secret-"

"You- YOU UNGODLY SINNER! YOU DARE TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE?!"

Excuse me, what?

"Excuse me, what?!"

In a fraction of a second, all the happiness that Shiozaki emanated a few minutes ago turned into anger and scorn. Now she was the one shaking him around with her vines, much more vigorously.

"How could you sink so low?! I thought you were a worthy person! I thought you loved Kendo, and you simply come and tell me that you had- that you had- that you did lewd things to almost a dozen of girls, Kendo included?! You cheater! Betrayer! She trusted in you… I TRUSTED IN YOU, AND THAT'S HOW YOU DO TO ME?!"

The vines wrapped around his arms legs and body started to get tighter. The angrier she looked, the stronger the grasp became.

"Sh-Shiozaki-san- you're holding- me too tight!" He struggled against it but his position didn't favor him much.

"Don't say any word with that dirty mouth, I don't want to hear more lies! By heavens, eleven girls! Don't you have any sense of decency?"

"I do, but-"

"Shut up, I said, not a single word! My goodness, never in my life I have heard of wrongdoing at that scale"

He reached for her shoulder. The vines were slowly wrapping around his neck and it was getting really hard to breathe, but as soon as she felt his touch, Shiozaki recoiled.

"What are you- unhand me, you lust-driven beast!"

"Oh hell no, I'm not going to die like this!"

Once again Midoriya had to use the only resource available.

"Ohio Smash!"

The headbutt was pretty effective in disorienting her and the vines stopped suffocating the green haired teen. Midoriya gasped for air and took some distance from Shiozaki in case of her freaking out again.

"Damn it ~gasp~ what the heck was that? Didn't Tokage tell her about-"

Speaking of the angel, the lizard girl appeared in the distance, running at his direction with her orange haired friend by her side. Once they spotted him and the vine girl, they ran even faster to reach him.

"Holy shit, Izuku, are you alright?" Kendo practically slid to his side.

"Somehow. Kendo, what did you two tell her?"

The ginger head glared at the dark green haired girl before saying it.

"She told Shiozaki that you proposed to me in front of all the other girls"

Tokage was quick to defend herself, kneeling beside him.

"It was a good idea at the time! I would never imagine she would chase you for hearing that"

Midoriya facepalmed.

"Oh, for the love of- kill me, please!"

Meanwhile, the dizzy girl recovered from the headbutt, now seeing more people than before. Once her head stopped spinning, she realized who was them.

"Kendo? Tokage? What are you- Tokage, you lied to me!"

The lizard girl held an uneasy look and simply held her hands in an apologetic gesture.

"And Kendo, how could you be so blind? Didn't you see he was such a dirty guy? Or did he trick you two into this?"

Now, Kendo didn't like to hear that.

"Shiozaki, you may want to stop right there. Izuku is anything but a bad person and he didn't trick me"

The vine girl flinched.

"But- he had- you all had- this is not how it should happen! Did you even hold hands before doing those shameful things?!" Shiozaki said pointing an accusing finger.

The ginger-haired girl let out a sigh. She kind of knew how this would play.

"I know, it isn't the relationship progress you'd expect, but that's what happened, and I don't even care. If you're going to call him a sinner or whatever because of that, then the same applies to me and Tokage" She crossed her arms, remaining calm while her friend looked at her in disbelief.

"No… that wasn't supposed to happen… doesn't it hurt you that he is, umm, 'sleeping' with other girls, Kendo?!"

"Not at all. In fact, none of us bother too much about it as long as we have him" Tokage nodded by her side and Midoriya rubbed his neck sheepishly. Shiozaki refused to accept this, shaking her head.

"I don't get it, how can you not be hurt knowing that? Don't tell me you just wanted to… do it with him from the start"

"No Shiozaki, I'm not just aiming to fuck-"

"Though I wouldn't mind anyway. Izuku here is an unmatched beast~" Tokage just had to make that comment, which made everyone present get different tones of red in their faces.

"Ahem, as I was saying, though it is awesome, I'm not just aiming to have sex. I love him from the bottom of my heart, and it's the same with all the girls"

"I can't understand you, Kendo…"

"But you should" Tokage said. "Since you don't like to lie, answer this honestly. The reason why you're so mad at Izuku isn't because of the whole harem thing or because you thought he only loved Kendo. The real reason is that you too love him, isn't it?"

Midoriya had been looking at the ground with great interest until now, as his head shot up to look at the lizard girl, then at Shiozaki. She recoiled a bit once she saw him looking at her. The red hue in her cheeks deepened.

"T-that's ridiculous, why would I feel anything like this for someone like him?" She pouted and looked away with a humpf.

"You say it now but not long ago you were calling him the perfect boy"

"For Kendo, of course. Plus, it's clear to me now that it was just a mask…"

Midoriya stared at her face, bringing back to his memory what he saw earlier.

"Shiozaki-san, when you called me a cheater… and said I betrayed your trust… you didn't say that only for Kendo, did you?"

"... What are you implying? ...That it hurt me more than it would hurt her? That's… impossible…"

"If you say so-"

"No, she loves you, but Shiozaki is surprisingly too dense to realize it herself"

"I-I don't love him, Tokage!" She said that but the way her voice sounded rendered the statement completely unconvincing.

"What's not to like? He even passed through your purity and holiness insanely high standards"

"I keep my ideals…" The vine girl looked away, fiddling with her fingers. "But that doesn't mean I harbor any feelings for him"

"Okay, loving him or not, there's no reason to tag him as evil. It's not like Izuku forced any of us into this, actually, it was the opposite…" Kendo said, helping Midoriya get up. "Look, I know it's hard for you but please don't tell anyone. It sounds weird but this is special for us. I'm asking you this as a friend, Shiozaki"

Shiozaki remained silent, refusing to look at Midoriya's face, though she looked tempted. The trio looked at her one last time before making their leave.

"So, Kendo, what do we do now?"

"Since you failed spectacularly, we have to tell everyone. It's the least we can do"

"It could h-have ended worse, don't you think…? How does 'controlled damage' sounds to you, Izuku?"

"Convinces me. The rest of the girls is another story" Both green heads let out tired sighs. "This is getting out of control…"

"Maybe we make it official already" Kendo suggested, earning a startled reaction from the boy.

"After all the problems we had to keep it a secret?"

"Well, not counting Shiozaki there are more than then persons that know or are involved in your harem, and I'm not including anyone with suspicions. I admit we don't hold back on showing affection in public as we should, so why bother with the public opinion?"

"I'm pretty sure a lot of people would disapprove of what we do late at night…"

"Then we don't talk about it. I agree with Kendo on it, I don't want to keep my guard up whenever I'm near you. Plus, having us around you would keep other girls away"

"I'm almost sure it's the opposite, considering my experiences. And even if we keep the more 'intimate' subject a secret, I still think everyone would look down at us"

"Let them talk and see if I give a single fuck. Like I said before, as long as I have you by my side the World can scream at the top of its lungs and I won't bother in the slightest" Kendo said, wrapping her arms around his waist and planting a peck on his lips.

He was startled at first, afraid of someone watching them, but once her words and actions dawned on his mind, Midoriya returned the gesture.

"Hey, don't let me out of the sweet moment" Tokage reached behind him, also embracing his torso with her arms. Midoriya turned around and did the same to the lizard girl, who then held on the back of his head and pulled him into a deep kiss.

"Let's go already, we have a lot to explain" The ginger head said in a playful tone.

While they resumed their walk and Tokage whined about always having her fun cut short, Shiozaki watched them go, every word said and action taken during the last minutes weighing in her mind. More than ever she felt conflicted about what she should do, mainly how should she feel about all this. Usually, Shiozaki wouldn't hesitate to point out the mistakes of her friends and instruct them to repent of their wrongdoings, but this time? Never in her life, she felt so doubtful, the number of things she took into consideration overwhelming her conscience. After all, was it that bad that Midoriya had more than one girlfriend?

Suppose it was the ideal situation and the emerald boy indeed confessed to her friend Kendo. They would turn into boyfriend and girlfriend and would slow progress in that relationship until marriage, children and lots of love and happiness. It was the perfect path, no problems with cheating or lies. Could they really achieve the same ending by a different route?

Another question, what happened to any other girls who happened to hold feelings for him, or to Tetsutetsu, in Kendo's case? They would move on in their lives and find someone special too, right? Well, how should she know? Shiozaki wouldn't think little of a young developing love since it could mean a lot to the person with such a feeling. In that case, having to watch your beloved one being happy with someone else should leave a huge mark on the heart. Yes, if they truly loved that person, they would want only the best for them, even if the best was a life with someone else. Yeah, easier said than done. At that moment, Tokage's words replayed on her memories, prompting Shiozaki to put herself in the place of a spectator.

If, and it was totally a hypothetical situation, she actually felt something in the lines of love for the emerald boy. How would she feel looking him moving on with, say, Kendo? She was her friend and by her own logic Midoriya would be with someone that was a good person, but where that left her? Sad? Disappointed? Heartbroken seemed fit. Being completely honest, if it was her, Shiozaki imagined that she would feel her heart sinking into an infinite abyss of sorrow and sadness.

Not being able to voice her true feelings for him, or even show them through actions. Being unable to be at his side, enjoying his company, or to share little things about herself and her dreams. Suddenly, a future where she would never see him arriving from work at home, their home, greeting her with a tired but always bright smile looked darks and felt incomplete. She would never feel his caring touch or hear his gentle and loving voice speaking affectionately with her. In that future, there wouldn't be any kids with dark green locks or vines on their heads, running around and filling their love nest with happiness and warmth.

Her body fell back on the bed and her head sunk on the soft pillow. It hurt. Imagining herself as the one being out of his life hurt more than she could have ever imagined. Why, though? It was just a hypothesis, a scenario where anyone could be used as an example, but this was about her and Midoriya. Why did it hurt so much? He was a sinner, a guy that gathered women around him like they were cats. Simply saying he loved them couldn't be enough. There was no reason for the tears that threatened to pour from the corners of her eyes.

What? What could keep all these girls emotionally linked to him? Kendo was right, if they were simply after satisfying their mundane desires, anyone could be used. Used, that was a keyword. She didn't feel like they were just interested in his good looks. Kendo liked him for who he was before his appearance, though she would agree with Tokage that he was indeed attractive. And to top the cake, Midoriya apparently felt the same thing for all of them. What kind of bond could lead to a relationship with so many girls? How could they stand seeing him with someone else? Just because they could also have him?

"... that's it? The final solution for all you crazy girls?"

Since she began to interact with Midoriya, Shiozaki had a lot of shocking experiences in a relatively short period of time. She didn't feel the time around her pass. The boy really turned her life upside-down. Sure, she dreamed of things like meeting a nice person, eventually, fall in love with the said person and form a family, but she never put much effort thinking about it. Maybe she was just too dense, as Tokage said, or perhaps her standards were really too high. Doesn't matter right now because deep down she knew a certain someone passed on all of them. She said before, he was perfect, at least to her eyes.

Staring at the ceiling of the now dark room, her mind began to wander. What kind of things did he do when he was alone with them? Besides having sex, that is. Did they watch films together, or walked near the trees at the campus? Did they always stick together, cuddling and holding hands? How did they get to sleep in a single bed?

"It must be one big pile of girls with him under it" She said to no one in a low voice, surprising herself with a soft laugh that came out.

"... I guess it could be a little cute to see. ~sigh~ What am I saying? I shouldn't find this amusing"

She was supposed to think this whole mess was something utterly disgusting, a shameless display of weakness face mundane desires.

"... I can't. I simply cannot say they are completely wrong… sure, the means are something to argue about but… I would be lying if I said they are not in deep and sincere love"

She laughed lightly, thinking more about this weird relationship.

"It just works, doesn't it? What's not to like on him, she said… then, all the girls around fall to the charms of a boy that loves too much. Doesn't it belong to the realm of novels?"

If he loves them all the girls are okay with it, there was nothing he could do… right?

The vine girl reached with one hand into the air, resting the other close to her chest. Deep and slow breaths, eyes closed, Shiozaki formed an image of the emerald boy and his many lovers. No filters of purity and holiness here, just the emotions flowing from her heart, after all, she didn't like to lie, not even to herself. And not so surprising, the result she got was more endearing than she expected. It wasn't a devilish version of Midoriya, with horns and emanating a heavy dark aura, neither a heavenly being with green hair and golden light coming from him. She simply saw an image of him taking notes on his book, straight from her memories, and more memories like that followed, showing his lively face as he talked about her Quirk, him bravely standing in the tournament of the Sports Festival, his figure embracing her orange haired friend in a world of warmth and caring. The last one slowly stirred a twinge of envy on her, another feeling she wasn't used to.

Sitting on her bed Shiozaki opened her eyes, finally noticing the time. Her room was quiet, dark, and a bit cold from the winds of winter that came closer. It felt… lonely, and it was a nigh perfect representation of her at the present moment. She held each and every one of her friends dear to her heart, but this felt different. There was this void inside her chest that she knew wouldn't be filled with anything. Shiozaki didn't understand at first, and until now denied vehemently, but there wasn't another explanation. It all started when she got to know him better. But things have been said and done, would there still be an opportunity?

The nice girl took slow steps towards the small balcony of her room, resting her elbows on the parapet and directing her gaze to the bright night sky. Was the nocturnal sky always so beautiful, or was it because the stars reminded her of a certain pair of emerald green eyes that she grew fond to without noticing? Another sigh escaped her lips, she had been doing that a lot lately. Not too far away, another building similar to the one she lived on now got her attention. In one of these rooms with lights turned on, stood the cause of her inner turmoil.

---

"Waaah~ all done. Now, time to sleep"

Midoriya pushed himself from his desk and stretched his arms and backs. Sleep hours had been turning into a precious resource lately as the number of girls he had to give attention to their 'nocturnal activities' seemed to only increase. Today, in particular, he felt more exhausted, mentally speaking. The whole deal with Shiozaki was more stressful than he thought. Hmm, maybe if he asked Mei and Kyoka for another session…

"But what will it cost me, five more girls in my love life?" He deadpanned, just for a moment he wondered if it would be bad at all.

Anyway, a cold breeze blew by and he shivered a bit. As he went to close the glass door, his mind reminded him of the night that starts it all, the moment when his life made a 900-degree turn. To think something so simple as leaving it open changed his life forever.

"Though I think Ochako would still make her way in…"

Door closed, cold sealed outside, he turned off the lights and got ready to make the most of this night to sleep.

Except that it didn't pass fifteen minutes and he was dragged out of his dreams by the sound of something hitting the glass outside. He was a quick sleeper but Midoriya had great awareness, waking up to any possible threats. Or late visitors. This case didn't seem to fit in either as the girls wouldn't use the balcony. Mei, Itsuka, and Setsuna had their own keys now, not to mention they usually said if they were planning something. Looking outside there wasn't any sign of a villain. His mind wandered to a certain room on the other side of the building, but she would be having a shocking experience if she left it at this time. Speaking of time…

"Huh… it's only 11:30 pm, but I really wanted to ~yawn~ sleep more tonight" He said rubbing his eyes. Maybe he was hearing things.

Again the sound of something hitting the glass, repeating itself with a steady rate. The sleepy boy walked to it and opened the glass door, being welcomed with a cold breeze and a spiky ball to his face. The thorns on it didn't hurt him, and looking down there were at least half a dozen more of the green bundles of…

"Vines?" Leaning on the balcony and looking down, yet another ball hit his head, confirming his suspicion.

"Oh my, sorry, I thought you were sleeping" Said the culprit wearing a white nightgown from the garden next to the dorms. Good thing he was on the second floor, otherwise, she would need to scream.

"I was sleeping, Shiozaki-san…"

"I'm sorry to wake you up, but not much. Umm, can… can we talk?"

"What? Like, now?" He asked groggily.

"Please, it's something of the highest importance"

He took a deep breath in, quickly stepping back into his room to grab his shoes and a jacket. A minute later Shiozaki saw the green boy leaping from the balcony and landing quietly as a cat.

"Wow, I'm impressed"

"Practice. So ~yawn~ what do you want to talk about?" Earlier today they had a discussion about a serious matter but he wasn't awake enough to take that into consideration, plus Midoriya never was one to hold grudges. If nothing, she came to tell him she would keep it a secret, as long as he followed some sort of rule.

"Maybe she wants me to promise I'll marry Itsuka in the future…"

The vine girl looked around hesitantly, then seemed to reach forward with her hand, but gave up in the last second.

"Can we go to a more secluded place?"

"Sure, lead the way"

They walked for a bit, then he recognized the place. They sat under the same tree when he helped her with her Quirk.

"This place helps you to get more at peace, doesn't it?"

"How- how did you know?"

"Well, you did say you liked to be in contact with nature"

She stared at him for a moment, which did make Midoriya feel a little uneasy.

"Seriously… and we barely talked…" She said under her breath, but he could hear it.

"Umm, about that important matter-"

"Yes, why I brought you here… Well, you see, after discovering the… peculiar relationship between you and Kendo-san, as you might have noticed, I had some problems to understand it"

"Yeah, let's put it in that way"

"B-but I'm trying to look at it from another point of view. If Kendo is so invested on it, there must be a detail or two that I'm missing"

"So you're saying you're trying to find something positive, even if it is minimal?"

"Yes, so I'm going to start with something that seems obvious. Umm, do you really love each of your… girlfriends equally?"

"More than anything" He answered so fast that she thought it was due to his drowsiness, but looking into his eyes she found nothing but sincerity.

"And… do they love you too? Or they are just after you and your… your… d-do they just want to do lewd things?!"

"Nope. It may have started close to it but I'm sure it is mutual. What can I say, they don't get tired of me" Midoriya said with a shy smile.

"But since you have so many girls around you, how do you even get to spend time with them equally?"

"Actually, that's a good one. When it was just the girls from my class it was easier. Each one had an entire day with me. But after Mei, we started to stay together more and by the time Nemuri and Yu came, we simply formed a single group. Probably it raised more suspicions but I guess it can't be helped"

"And they are fine with just being near you?"

"Well, I didn't hear complaints. Plus, they always make sure to compensate for the lack of intimacy during the day when we, you know what…" That put a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Y-you seem to have found the perfect situation. A lot of girls falling in love with you, and somehow this relationship just works. It must be the dream of every boy at our age"

"I wouldn't say exactly that, and there's a reason why it works"

"Really?"

"Yep. It might sound cheesy but… if they didn't love me so much I'm sure this wouldn't work. You see, normally you would think: I love that person and I want her only for myself. I don't see anything wrong with it but… if I did that and choose just one, the others would feel heartbroken, and I don't want that"

"But… imagine someone developed feelings for you… and that someone didn't get it at all but deep inside she knew she was deeply in love with you… w-what would you do?"

"I don't know. I'd have to know this person better first, see if I like her in the same way"

"Even having other girls already?!"

"D-don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to set a record here. If that person really has these strong feelings for me, then I feel that I have to respond to them properly. Even if my answer is a 'no', I cannot simply ignore them" His words were so strong and lacking doubt that she felt like throwing herself at him right here, but Shiozaki help herself back.

She let everything that he said sink for a minute, then faced him again, her eyes locked on his emerald green ones.

"Say, Midoriya, what if such a person was real?"

"Umm, I guess it is definitely a real person"

"So… if that person said some bad things about you, but because she didn't understand what was so special about your relationship, would you forgive her?"

"Sure"

"Even if she accused you of being a liar… and a cheater…?"

"Yes, even if she called me the devil itself"

Her eyes gained a glint that meant tears were threatening to form.

"Why, though? She didn't do you any good. Why would you forgive her?"

He shone a warm smile before answering.

"Because I'm sure she didn't mean any harm. She's a good person, and I don't hate her"

The vine girl flinched, then leaned her head on his shoulder, holding on the sleeve of his jacket. He heard a small sob.

"What makes you think that? She could be a terrible person, someone that judges the others based on impossible standards. Standards that even she doesn't follow completely. In the end… she's just an annoyance that talks big when it comes to pointing out the mistakes others do. She's so absorbed in her little perfect world and she can't accept that not everyone thinks the same way she does"

Much to her surprise, Shiozaki felt an arm wrap around her shoulders, bringing her closer to the emerald boy.

"It may be true, but that's just one side of her. Do you want to know why I think she's a good person?" Midoriya felt her nodding. "I admire the way she cares about everyone around her. Yes, sometimes she'll go and say you're totally wrong and should repent of your sins, at least from what I heard. But… that's just because she worries about her friends, isn't it?"

Shiozaki looked up at him again, eyes watering and tears on the verge of rolling free.

"She cares about her friends and only wants the best for them. There's some work to do about the way she does it but I would never say I hate her because of it"

He looked at her and upon seeing his warm smile and bright eyes focused on her, and only her, Shiozaki lost the battle against her tears, deciding to hide her face on his chest. She cried softly and silent, while Midoriya considered patting her head.

"I'm sorry, Midoriya-san, I lied. The person I was talking about was me"

"It's okay, it doesn't change what I think"

The cold wind blew by, making the vine haired girl shiver a bit, so Midoriya took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, proceeding to wrap one of his arms around her body. Shiozaki, shocked at first, held the jacket closer, turning a little and snuggling close to his chest. Despite the tears, a smile was slowly making its way into her lips.

"I guess chivalry didn't die yet" She said with a soft laugh.

"My Mom raised a gentleman" He answered her while bringing her closer. "Shiozaki-san, everything you said before was about you?"

She didn't get what she meant.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Even… the part where you said you had feelings for me?"

She flinched again, relaxing after some moments. There was no way to deny it anymore, was it?"

"Yes, I do harbor feelings for you, Midoriya-san. It's really a shame that I took so much time to realize"

"It's fine, you never felt like this before. You asked me what I'd do, right? Well, there's something else I would do, knowing that"

"And what would it be?"

He brought Shiozaki to sit on his lap, then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him, while the vine girl panicked. He held her like this until she stopped shaking.

"I would say that… I might feel the same"

Her slightly red eyes widened. Did she hear that right? Wasn't this yet another mistake created by poor wording?

"You mean… you also… l-love…"

"Yeah, I'm still not a specialist at this, everything is always so confusing… but I guess I love you, Shiozaki-san. No, I can feel it here on my chest. Since I got to know you better since I saw you giving up on your feelings because you wanted to see your friend happy… since I saw your bright smile, looking happy for knowing Kendo would marry me and hiding the pain in your own heart that not even you were aware of" He hugged her tighter. "We barely know each other but I already want you to be happy. If you don't mind someone that doesn't match your ideals… I want to be one of the reasons for happiness in your life"

Speechless. She was speechless. Never in her life, someone said such a sweet and caring thing to her. She didn't see his face but she knew each spoken words carried the sum of his feelings for her. It was a bit overwhelming, honestly. Did all of his girls had moments like this? It would completely explain why they were so attached to him, and speaking of attachment, right now there wasn't any other place she wanted to be beside his embrace. Idiot, she told herself. Here he was, opening up to her about making her happy, and she wouldn't stop crying.

"Heavens, what is this? What is happening to me? After all that I said and did, I was filled with guilty and I simply had to say I'm really sorry. That's what I called him for. And yet… here he is, saying he also loves me"

"That's ridiculous, Midoriya…"

His head lifted up in surprise. Maybe she didn't feel she could accept him after knowing all the truth. But then she turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her eyes were filled with tears but the wide smile crossing her lips relieved him.

"...you just love too much. I hope you still have a lot to give, because I don't intend to take anything I said back"

He returned with a gentle smile of his own.

"That's good to hear. I don't want to take it back either"

They shared a laugh for a moment. After all this mess, this was the final result. Shiozaki didn't see any problem with it. Well, there was one tiny problem.

"Midoriya… thought it's awesome that you feel like this, I don't know if I can simply join your- your harem- right now. The whole concept still makes me shudder…"

"I get it, it must be a radical change to you. Take your time, I'll be always waiting for you"

Once again he managed to make her shed tears, happy that she found such a wonderful person. She knew it. For Kendo, and for herself, he was perfect. Still, one thing that she thought was locked away from her mind surfaced. Maybe it was the proximity with him, which gave her an opportunity to feel his hardened muscles. Maybe it was the night and the ambient around them, the cold wind making her get close and close to the source of heat he was. Damn it, Tokage was completely right.

"Midoriya-san is… so hot~"

Her eyes were still glued on his face so he noticed the increasing blush in her face. She pursed her lips subconsciously and took deeper breaths, making her chest rise and fall more apparently. Given his experience, Midoriya knew those signs all too well.

"Umm, Shiozaki-san, do you want… something?"

It broke her out of her trance, and the girls internally scolded herself for having these lewd thoughts. To think herself would sink so low in the pool of desire and fantasize about seeing him shirtless.

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to… umm" She hid her face a little by lowering it. Midoriya tried to follow, tilting his head and looking at her face, but she kept getting away.

"For what? Do you have a problem, Shiozaki-san?"

"... I-Ibara…" She practically whispered.

"Eh?"

"... Ibara… my first name…"

"Ah, yes. T-then, umm, Izuku. Do you want something, Ibara?"

He always got this weird feeling and his heart beat faster when he called a girl by her first name for the first times. Ibara hesitated but ended looking at him again. There was a visible hue of red in her face and she looked like she would die out of embarrassment.

"I-I was a little curious and… I'm sorry, Izuku, I just imagined the lewdest thing" She said covering her face with her hands.

"Huh? The lewdest… what exactly…?" Once again she surprised him.

"Well, I… I'm a little curious to know… how do you look like without your shirt…"

Oh boy, how he felt relieved.

"Just that? Come around the gym tomorrow and I promise to give you a full view. Man, and I even got worried…"

She looked astonished at him.

"Don't you think it is something s-shameful to imagine?!"

"Not at all, even more considering what I do on an almost daily basis"

"O-oh, t-that's right, eh hehehe…"

Now that he mentioned it her memory brought back other things she heard about, all thanks to Tokage since she had to say how good looking he was and how he was an unmatched beast on the bed- "I know I shouldn't rush or even feel this but… ugh, I'm so curious!"

And as if he had mind reading abilities, Izuku asked her.

"Ibara, do you want to do something with me? Something… special? Yeah, let's say 'special'..."

Tensed up, Ibara looked away from him, pushing her fingers together. Even with the dim light, he could see her bright blush.

"You know we don't have to, right? It's not a requirement to be my girlfriend"

"But… all the others already had… s-sex with you. I don't want t-to be left behind…"

"It ain't competition either"

Ibara slowly faced him again, resting her hands on his chest.

"I… there are a lot of things I never did, things I didn't even think about because they were 'lewd' or 'shameful' to me. I'm curious, Izuku…" It wasn't like she looked any calmer than before but her tone of voice was lower, kinda like a whisper. He understood that it was her attempt to sound… sultry, maybe?

Her hands began to move, feeling and exploring his body. She followed with her eyes, forcing her mind in a never done before task to imagine what could be under these clothes. Her slender hands wandered to his arms, stopping on his hands. She Interlocked their fingers, giggling when he squeezed her hands a little.

"They are so warm…"

Moving all the way back to his shoulders, Ibara moved one hand down, finding his rock hard abs, while she cupped his cheek with her free hand.

"Just how much time do you spend at the gym?"

"Hehe, I hear that quite often"

Now both her hands cupped his cute face. She stared at him for a long time, memorizing every detail she could perceive, the patterns of his freckles, the curls of his green hair, the bright of his emerald eyes, the shape of his nose, the smoothness of his skin… the way his lips looked so soft.

"... S… s-sorry, I don't know how to do this…" She said, hesitantly getting closer to his face.

"It's okay, do it your way"

Before their faces met, her chest touched his. Pressing further to close the gap, she felt his heartbeat, slower and more steady than her own, which gave her a sensation of safety and eagerness at the same time. She could trust him, but it was like he was about to take her into the wildest ride of her life. What hid in the future behind these doors in the form of lips?

"Well, I'll definitely find out"

With eyes closed, she felt this hot breath with a tinge of mint brush her face, then tilted her head a little. Her lips trembled in hesitation, a mere millimeter away from her goal, then they became steady as Izuku closed the final gap. At first, she was shocked but in a good way. Ibara felt jolts run down her spine, and it expanded to her whole body when he held her closer, his hands sneaking around the lower of her back. His lips were as soft as they looked and he was oh so gentle to kiss her as if she was the most fragile flower in the garden. A swarm of butterflies app appeared in her belly and her heart was pounding hard in her chest.

"So this is how it feels to kiss. I can't describe how I feel but… more. I want more. There has to be more. Will you show me, Izuku?"

As if attending her wishes, Izuku deepened the kiss, being a little more passionate and caressing her body, feeling her curves. It took her a moment to register this new level but Ibara gave in, trying her best to match his actions. Between quick breaks to breathe, they got more into it. Ibara unconsciously pressed herself more against him, eventually making him lay on the grass. Then, something she never imagined to ever happen. His hands found her butt and squeezed a little, earning a moan from the vine girl.

Ibara stopped to register it. She moaned, she let out a sound that means someone if feeling pleasure, normally sexual. She returned to her purity self for a brief moment, freaking out about how lewd and dirty she must have sounded.

"Don't think too much, Ibara. Just… go with the flow. If you feel you have to hold back, then do it. And don't hesitate in telling me when to stop"

"Okay, I-I'll give my b-best!"

He chuckled a bit. This was something odd to say right now, but to her, it was all new and different. His duty now was to make this experience the best she could have.

So he began to make circles with his hands on her cheeks, making his way to her thighs, then up to her waist and the middle of her back. Sometimes Ibara muffled her moans, which didn't stop him from being turned on. In a swift move Izuku rolled them and now he was on top, staring down at Ibara, her vines widespread under her, her face turned slightly to the side and hand brought to her mouth. Seeing her all shy and uneasy like this, it was easy to forget she was actually a strong person, but either way, he wanted to protect her. Izuku couldn't help but feel this way when he thought about the girls he loved so much.

Ibara waited unsurely and eagerly for him to make the next move. Each step further was a surprise, and what a surprise she had when she felt his hands get near her special place. At the same time, his other hand cupped one of her breasts. Ibara thought she would freak out again and even slap him or something, but the way Izuku did this prevented her from it. She didn't feel assaulted, on the opposite, even his touch carried all the gentleness and care he had, a physical expression of his love for her. Realizing this made Ibara want to return in the same way, so she tossed away any restrictions she put in her mind.

Sensing her more relaxed, Izuku tried a bolder move and reached under her nightgown, slowly lifting it and revealing her smooth looking thighs and then her light green underwear. A little further and her matching bra was on full view to him. Lifting her arms, the gown was gone and Ibara was as red as humanly possible.

"Here, to make things even" She looked up and he lifted his arms, waiting for her to take off his shirt. She eagerly did and he let out a small laugh at the bewildered face she had when she saw him without it.

What he didn't expect was Ibara quickly holding his shorts and pulling them down, which gave her an even bigger surprise currently hidden under his black boxers. She even covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers.

Taking from where he stopped, Izuku cupped her breasts again, this time feeling her hot and smooth skin. They fit perfectly on his hands and were quite firm. Ibara pursed her lips to hold back her moans. She thought it was too simple to make such noises, but he was making it a hard task. One of his hands made a beeline to her abs, going further down until they met the hem of her panties. She gasped as his fingers slowly got close to her private parts, her legs naturally closing, but once again he surprised her. The feeling of his fingers rubbing her in that place, threatening to cross some boundaries and slide in, along with his skilled hand and tongue giving so much love to her breasts made Ibara lose herself a little. The more he did this, the hotter she felt. Her body was begging for him to go further, cross the line and enter the realm of forbidden things only intimate couples should do. She didn't know of such a feeling until, and it was powerful, building up inside her and urging him to do something about it.

Carried by the heat and guided by instinct, Ibara reached for his underwear, feeling the quite intimidating bulge, then pulling the damn piece of cloth down. Looking at him completely naked was surely a shocking experience. She made sure to burn that image in her memories, telling herself that it was a very lewd and dirty thing to do. Right now, she didn't care. Izuku then unhooked her bra and slowly removed her panties, tossing them away with the gown and his clothes. When he closed the glass door earlier, he didn't expect to end here, but he didn't regret a single bit doing it.

"Are you ready?"

"No, but… I trust you, Izuku. I know you'll take care of me"

"I promise I'll always protect you, no matter what. Now… it may be a little difficult in the beginning but it gets better, I swear. Also, tell me if it hurts too much"

"I-if it hurts…?"

"I'll be gentle. It's just that, umm…" He scratched his head shyly.

"What is it, Izuku?"

"Well, they always say the same thing"

"Eh? What do they say?"

He didn't answer, instead rubbing his length at her slightly wet entrance. The teasing and waiting put her on the edge, but her patience would be rewarded as she felt the tip of his manhood slowly parting her folds. It was the most strange sensation in her life and yet it felt... good. Yeah, it wasn't the terrifying torture her mother always made it sound like. Then, she felt this tip going inside, and it felt even better, weird but better. Izuku wasn't moving much and she wondered if he was always like that but before she could voice her thoughts, another gasp escaped her lips.

"Oh wow, he has… quite the size, I think. I don't have anything to compare but- oh, my… it's… Izuku is really something- a-aahh… s-such girth… and he is going slow but..." She looked away from his face for a moment and her eyes widened when she looked down her waist. "H-he's not even on the half?! H-h-how?!"

Her eyes returned to his face, now understanding why he was so thoughtful minutes ago. She was a little afraid but she didn't want that to show in her face. Of course it wouldn't escape his always attentive eyes.

"Do you need a break?"

"N-n-no, you can k-keep going" She said with her breathing getting short. "Gosh, I'm feeling so hot. Is this what they call being horny? Heavens, I think it is! If he is making me so horny by just sliding in... " Her face would pale with that realization if her arousal didn't keep it bright red.

"H-he keeps going in, deeper… deeper… Izuku~ your penis is… widening my vagina so much… it's such an alien feeling but… I like it. I really like it. Should… should I tell him?- ahhh~ How do I tell him I love the feeling of his penis going inside me?"

Ibara had a flash of memory, one time in middle school she caught to boys hiding under some stairs. They had something on their hands and she heard strange noises, but she could make out the voice of a girl that didn't sound good. She rushed to help but found the two watching something on a phone. Since they hid it from her, Ibara got suspicious and used her vines to take it from them. It was at that time that she watched a whole minute of hentai. As you'd expect, she gave them a big of a lecture and handed the cursed phone to her teacher as the crime proof, all that sporting a tinge of red in her face. In the time she didn't understand well but she knew it had something to do with the lewd things her mom warned her about.

Now, it all made sense.

"Mmmm~ I… Izuku~ Ah~ Izuku… it feels good~ your dick, it feels good… hyan~ I said it..."

Her breath was labored, her face completely red and her eyes were lost on his emerald ones. He kept moving slowly, and Ibara widened her eyes with each bit of it going deeper, her mouth opening on a big 'O'. She gasped looking down and seeing that she didn't pass much from the half of his length. She had a long way to go and she would enjoy every minute of this trip, but one thing had to be said. One thing that she would never forget, as her body engraved it in her memory. One thing that every girl before her said.

"~gasp~ Izuku… it's so… so big!~"

Ibara felt her body shaking involuntary, starting from her legs. The tips of her toes curled and she felt the need to hold something. The grass would have to do. She squirmed under him, moving away from him, so he had to put a hand on her shoulder to hold her in place. That action triggered her instincts of fight or flight, and her body decided to flee. Half closed fists pushed weakly against his bare chest and her heart kicked into full speed when she felt something being stretched inside her. Ibara didn't want to react like this, she wanted to see the very end of this, have her first time with him, but it was stronger than her. She was about to scold herself internally for such cowardice, but that wasn't really necessary.

Izuku, having far more experience than Ibara, knew exactly what to, or at least what he always did and worked fine. Leaning forward, he captured her shaky lips into a deep kiss, caressing her face gently while he still slid further inside her. He felt her gasps on his mouth, her hands pushing against his chest, her body squirming under him, but he couldn't stop now. Her arms wrapped around his torso, probably getting ready to what was about to happen. Her eyes closed shut. Quick but carefully, Izuku gave a single thrust with his hips, officially taking away her virginity. Ibara instantly clawed his backs, her scream muffled by his lips. He stood still, still kissing her and caressing her face, until she stopped squirming her legs. The whimpering turned into moaning and they broke the kiss, leaving a thin bridge behind. What his eyes found, though, left Izuku in a state of awe.

Right now Ibara looked like the most alluring being in this side of the universe. Her half-closed eyelids hid a pair of dark green eyes that burned with passion, passion, and desire for him and him only. Her breathing was long and deep as if she was whispering something, her chest going up and down in a hypnotic motion. The red that adorned her face only accentuated her seductive aura. He felt her hips moving, grinding against his, and she bit her lower lip, hissing as she arched her backs a little.

"Izuku~" Oh boy, that voice. Did it always sound so damn sexy? "I want more~"

"Eh…?" Even with all his experience, Ibara got him lost. The divergence between when they met and now was just too much to process.

"More~ Give me… more of your dick~ I can't wait, my v- my pussy is begging for more of your dick~" He wasn't sure if she was doing all that dirty talk on purpose or if she was a closet pervert like Ochako, but right now that didn't matter, nothing else mattered. Only Ibara occupied his mind, and his mission now was to make her wishes come true.

Izuku lifted his hips, admiring that every move he made elicited a response from Ibara, be it a little gasp or a low moan, a quick shudder or a bit on her lips. He went slid inside, again and again, reaching deep and learning where were her sensitive spots. If he had to compare, Ibara would be somewhere between Setsuna and Kyoka, tight and constantly wrapping around his cock. Her temper, sweet like Tooru, but with a lustful look of Nemuri and Yu. Though he briefly thought about it, he knew she was unique, as each of his lovers. Ibara was one of his lovers now, and as always he aimed to please her.

Picking up his pace a bit, Izuku reached under her tights and lifted her hips a bit, getting a better position to move. Ibara slowly got an upturned curve in her lips, relishing the feeling of his cock moving inside her, moaning each time her lower lips met the base of his delicious dick.

"Oooh~ Heavens~ I'm thinking of so many- aaah~ lewd things now, Izuku~ Look at what you're- mmmm~ doing to me"

"We can stop- hah~ whenever you want ~gasp~"

"I want to see… how lewd you can make me~" She was taunting. Shiozaki Ibara was taunting while having sex.

Taking the challenge, Izuku moved a little faster, relatively speaking. He spread her legs some more, holding her tights, and went even deeper inside her pussy. Ibara's smile turned into a lustful grin as she felt him hitting her sweet spots time and time again.

"It's my first time and- Mmmm! you know me so well already~"

"I promised it would- fuck~ get better, didn't I?"

"Y-yes, you did… mmm~ ohhh… f-fuck~"

Seeing her attempts at dirty talk put a smile on his face. She didn't have to but he understood she was trying to show how much she liked it.

They kept like this for a good amount of time, with Izuku slowing down sometimes so she wouldn't reach her limit yet. By now Ibara wasn't holding anything back, moaning and saying whatever crossed her mind, which was obviously how she loved to feel his huge dick moving inside her tight virgin pussy, or something close to it. She had her legs wide open as he held her hips and she even played with her breasts, just to amuse the green haired teen. Once he felt he was near, he went a little faster again.

"Ibara, I'm getting close to my limit"

"Y-yes~ Me too~ Let's- aaah~ how do you say that?- mmmm! Cum! Let's cum together, Izuku!" She held on his neck as he moved her legs to wrap around his waist. Ibara then pulled herself closer and synched her moves with him.

"Holy shit, Ibara~ I think I love your horny side- fuck!"

"J-just my horny side?~ Aaah! Am I that boring n-normally? ...fuck~"

"~gasp~ That's not it. You make me feel like- hah~ the best in the world~"

"Mmmm~ I'm glad to he- hyan~ hear that but I thought it was the same with the others- oohh fuck me!"

"I-it is! ~pant~ I love you all so much~ What I mean is- fuck! something I think I don't deserve all this… and of course I ~gasp~ love you in every way"

"T-that's something too sweet- Mmmm~ to be said right now- hah~ I love it!"

"I love you, Ibara~"

"I love you, Izuku~ Let's cum together~ As lovers do~ Fuck! More~ Fuck me more, Izuku!"

"Then get ready! I'm… c-coming!"

"AaaaH! So deep! Izuku!~"

She held on him with all her strength and he gave a final thrust, releasing his seed as he gave Ibara her first orgasm. Both teens stood still for a moment, then let their bodies rest on the grass and on top of each other. Izuku quickly held himself up on his hands, being used to the feeling and having insane amounts of stamina, while Ibara looked like she was on a trip to bliss land. Once again she looked more seductive than he would expect, her eyes rolling up and hiding under her half-closed eyelids, her cheeks with a red hue to put Momo's leotard in shame, arms and legs slightly bent and widespread, a silly smile crossing her mouth and a bit of drool dripping from the corners. It never ceased to amuse and astonish Izuku that he was the one leading them to this state. Not that it was a bad thing, they actually loved it, but it was impressive. Again, should he feel proud of himself?

his inner thoughts gave Ibara enough time to return to this world. she slowly looked up, her seductive ahegao face now missing, but still with a bright blush. She tried to sit up but her arms and legs just wouldn't cooperate. With some struggle she managed to rest on her elbows, looking down at her waist and letting a soft laugh.

"My legs feel like jelly… Is this a good sign?"

"Well, if my other girlfriends are anything to take in consideration, then yes"

"Good to know you still hold us dear to your heart" Said a very voice known to him. "Though I have to agree with Momo, it would be nice if you didn't think of other girls while you're fucking someone" From around the large tree appeared a slender blonde woman, wearing a white shirt with All Might's silhouette flexing his arms in the middle and tiny gray sleep shorts. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw her.

"Y-Yu?!"

"Not only me, sugar, we stick together now, remember?" As she said that, all around him appeared his girlfriends, wearing their pajamas or sleeping clothes, except for Tooru, she slept stark naked.

While Izuku froze in place, Ibara was quick to recover from her state of zero inhibitors and immediately moved to get out of the huge mess she just got herself into. But her backward scuttle was cut short as she felt a pair of hands landing on her shoulder and her backs hit someone's legs.

"Not so fast, dear"

"Oh heavens" Ibara would recognize that sass anywhere. "T… T-Tokage?"

"And Kendo too. Looks like you found happiness yourself, Shiozaki-san~"

Ibara wasn't used to sass coming from Kendo though. She looked around, finding all the eyes focused on her naked form, so she just shielded her face and looked at the ground with a lot of interest.

"Ooooh my god..."

Izuku finally broke out of his frozen state, looking at the girl he just had sex with and then at his smiling harem. Why were they here and please, why were they smiling?!

"The slime of someone about to end another someone…?" He swallowed dry.

"... Umm, I can explain…?"

"I'd rather you not. Itsuka told us what happened and what to expect" Momo said, apparently containing her true emotions.

Izuku looked at the orange haired girl and she just shrugged. Sure, they were going to tell them but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Something caught his attention, a peculiar object wrapped around Ochako's wrists. He slowly pointed to it and asked.

"Ochako? What is this on your wrists?" It looked like handcuffs. Strong handcuffs. She responded with a humpf and a pout, and the one to explain was Momo.

"Just some precaution"

"And… why does Mina have them too? And you too, Momo?"

"Again, precaution. But enough of chit-chat, are you done?"

"A-ah haha ha… you see, there's a really good explanation for this and-"

"We heard it when you said before" Kyoka said in a monotone voice. He swallowed dry again.

"Since… since when you were listening?"

"Ribbit. Listening AND seeing since the 'If you don't mind someone that doesn't match your ideals'. Seriously, I thought I would fall for you again, mister charm-you-with-my-sweetness" He rubbed his neck at the comment.

"So you saw it all, eh hehe he..."

"... everything… they saw everything… that's it, I'm already dead..." Suddenly he heard Ibara whispering something in a hopeless tone. Despite the sense of danger, he got close to her and took her hands on his.

"It's okay, Ibara. I promised to take care of you, didn't. Everything will be fine" She silently nodded.

"I wouldn't be so sure" That voice that dripped with envy crossed right through his chest like an arrow.

"Ochako, you may want to tone down the assassin aura. It's creeping everyone out..." Mei tried to reason with the enraged brunette.

"Not much, Mei. In fact, I'm tempted to agree with Ochako" Momo also emanated a powerful dark aura, along with Mina.

"Momo-chan… can I melt her…? I mean, her hair?"

"Not yet- no, Mina"

"Alright, cut that out, you three. I'm sure Shiozaki here will have nightmares for weeks, you jealous-fueled crazy heads" Nemuri said, managing to at least make them put on better faces.

"Death threats aside, Izuku, honey, my cinnamon roll of sunshine and source of light in my life" Nemuri practically lifted him off the ground, getting him on face level with her. Speaking of face, the closed eyes and wide smile she held weren't exactly tranquilizing. "When will you get satisfied? When you get to fuck every girl of this school? Of the city? You will never stop?" Neither was her happy sing-song voice.

He raised a hand to finally give the good explanation he mentioned earlier, which was a problem because he didn't have one. Heck, he didn't even have a bad explanation. So he simply closed his eyes and sighed.

"It was my fault. We talked about feelings, Ibara implied she loved me, I said I loved her, then we fucked. Of course, it's simplified"

"That's too much simplified, Izuku…!" Ibara said from her spot.

"Well, would you look at that, Itsuka. Not only she confessed to him, she went straight to fuck and the bigger surprise, Shiozaki is actually a dirty little natural pervert~" The lizard girl said looking at her orange haired friend, a smug grin plastered on her face.

"N-natural pervert?! It that even a thing?!"

"~sigh~ course not, Shiozaki. Setsuna, stop teasing her, she just had sex with Izuku"

"Thank you Kendo-san but can we not mention that last part much…?"

"What? everyone here fucked with him, and you're naked. There's nothing to be ashamed of"

"I have to disagree…!"

The odd silence fell between them for a while. Then the invisible girl decided to make the question everyone had in mind.

"So, Cutie, is Shiozaki-chan with us now?"

The vine girl flinched upon being mentioned and she naturally looked at Izuku, seeking for his answer. Seeing this, the harem agreed that she was the one most interested in it, which lead them to look at the emerald boy. Seriously, it was like everything revolved around him. Then again, they all got attracted to the same guy so it was to be expected.

"So, Deku-kun, what do you say? I don't have to tell you that your decision can lead to some serious consequences, do I?"

"No, Ochako, you don't. But that doesn't depend only on what I think. You already know what my decision is, anyway" He exchanged looks with her and he couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw her rolling her eyes playfully and letting out a sigh.

"Oh my, I must be getting too soft. I wonder who I should put the blame on"

"Nonsense, I had always been soft and sweet. If nothing, you got that more 'energetic' side of yours after your internship with Gunhead. Wait, scratch that, it only intensified what was there..."

"You love it and you know it~"

"Guilty as charged"

"So we just got another sister?" Tooru asked with animosity in her voice. She was also pretty jealous of her Cutie, but after seeing Shiozaki confess she just couldn't help but root for her. That and she finally got a friend more softcore on the bed.

"Sister? Doesn't it make us sound like a cult or something?" Kyoka looked at Tooru's general direction.

"Well, we all have the same boyfriend so, if we all get to marry with Cutie, wouldn't this kind of make us sisters or something?"

"Hmm, is there a term for the relationship between the wives of a harem...?" Mei questioned out loud.

"Normally he is the main wife and concubines, but it doesn't apply here, right?" Itsuka said, and the lack of immediate response made her a little worried. "Right…?" At least now she got lots of 'yeah' and 'sure'.

"I don't care if I'm the family pet, as long as I have this precious boy with me~" Yu said, embracing the naked Izuku from behind and lifting him like a big plushie.

"Now, that sounds interesting. Do you want me to lend one of my chokers? I have one with a cute heart pendant that I think it's perfect for you~" Nemuri teased, licking her lips and already making plans for the future.

"Stop imagining me on a damn leash, Nemuri! And don't even think about trying it on him" Yu said, holding the boy in a protective way.

"Hah? Do you even know if he doesn't like it? Oh, forget it, I'll make him love it~"

"Listen here you fucking ho..."

Ibara, now covering her front with her tossed away gown, approached Izuku carefully. His deadpan face changed from the two women arguing, one still holding him, to the vine girl by his side.

"Are they always like this?"

"Actually no, since Itsuka and Setsuna joined they had been much more talkative. In fact, you're the first one they didn't want to kill on spot. Well, for most of them, I suppose"

"Eeh?!"

"You get used to it..."

Izuku and Ibara suddenly got circled by the remaining girls present. Mina walked up to them, gave a quick kiss on her boy and turned to the vine head.

"Okay, you managed to sneak into his heart but if you really want to keep up with us, there's something you must do first"

"I-I thought it wasn't a competition"

"And it isn't, but I can't have any girl hanging with my man, can I?"

"So you want to… test me?"

"Hmm, look at this more like an evaluation. Let's see what you can do"

"W-what, now?"

"Sure, you're kind of in the mood already"

It took Ibara a moment to understand that last part.

"Hold up, I'm going to be t-tested in the bed?!"

"Technically it's grass but you get it" Ochako added, getting close to Izuku and holding his arm.

"But why? I-I already had s-sex with him. Didn't you just see?!"

"Yes we did, but you didn't know about it. Here's the deal, we can't have anyone taking Muscles here isolated, it's either share with everyone or nothing. You know what it means?~"

"T-that I'll need to d-do it with him… in front of everyone?!"

"Oh, you're faster on the uptake than I expected. A box of surprises, isn't she, Muscles?~" Izuku just shook his head. The things he had to do to please these girls…

"Alright, then I guess there's no delaying it. Yu, if you could?" The blonde gently put him on the ground and resumed her argue with the other pro hero normally, while Izuke scratched his head and let out a yawn.

"Not sleeping much? Ribbit"

"You know how it is. my nights get shorter as this harem grows"

"And who's fault do you think it is?" Momo asked him playfully.

"I don't regret anything" Then he turned to the confused vine haired girl. "Ready for another round?"

"E-eh? Really?!"

"Like I said, just relax and o with the flow, you won't even notice them once we start"

"Come on, Shiozaki-chan, you were doing just fine some minutes ago. Go get 'im!"

Ibara let a small eep as Mina gave her a slap in the ass. She looked around and everyone was looking at her. They were really waiting. Turning back to the emerald boy, she was surprised to see Izuku also a little nervous.

"Aren't you used to this?"

"Not at all, it's the first time they do something like this. Hope it doesn't turn into a rule"

"Of course they would come up with this right when I joined. Sure, why not?" She said, once again turning off any inhibitors she had in her mind and laying on the grass, arms stretched and open. "Fine. Come and get me, Izuku~"

He quirked an eyebrow and smiled at her, then got down on the grass to and captured her lips again, quickly rolling and letting her straddle him. After breaking the kiss, she sat on his lap, hands resting on his chest. Ibara was already on her seductive mode, begging with her eyes to be fucked with passion again. Izuku didn't think twice, holding her hips and lifting her with ease, just to slowly lower her on his already hard dick.

Ibara closed her eyes and relished every inch of his thick member widening her inner walls again. Soon enough she would memorize his form with her body so only he would be able to make her feel like this. Locking eyes again, Ibara began to move her hips, at the slow and steady pace he used before. She thought about moving more vigorously but she liked to go nice and slow, enjoying the sensation of him sliding in and out her wet hole.

"Oh my, what have I become? I would never think of things like this before… Well, since I'm sinking..."

Ibara moved her hips in circles, riding Izuku and making sure he heard all her moans. She liked to make sure he was aware of how good she felt because of him. Him and his amazing dick.

"Aaah, yes~ I'm already getting addicted to your dick, Izuku~ I can't imagine myself not having it deep inside my pussy anymore~ You'll have to take responsibility~"

And her answer was a small grunt, followed by Izuku bringing her body closer to his and thrusting his hips up, and then more grunts.

"Then take as much as you like- fuck~ are you getting tighter? ~hah~"

"Hyaa! No, it's your dick that is- hnggh~ getting even bigger~"

During the next five or six minutes, the group of girls surrounding them watched Izuku fucking Ibara, the vine girl constantly praising him and his, ahem, attributes. Needless to say, they all got a familiar and warm feeling down there, but just for today, they would leave Ibara to have him. As Izuku said, once they started, everything surrounding them didn't make sense or wasn't so important anymore. It was only him and her now, feeling the hot touch of their bodies, moving together and getting closer to bliss again.

Ibara let her desires take over her completely, holding him tight and even sucking at the nook of his neck. She drowned on his scent, shivered under his strong arms holding her, and even the way he made circles on her ass felt special to her. She felt that foreign and new sensation building up inside her, she was close. So close.

"Izuku~ I'm going to- aaah~ I'm cumming again… Izuku~"

He kept moving together with her, locking her on a kiss once more, before he felt on his limit too. One last push and she tightened her legs around him, releasing a flush of hot juices that met with his thick seed. The sensation of being filled up again by the love of her life was so exhilarating, she could barely keep her mind focused.

"T-that's it… I can't live without him… even if there are other girls around him, and honestly I understand them a little better now..." "... I want to stay with you forever, Izuku"

Ibara whispered on his ear before letting her body fall on top of his, catching her breath and relishing on the blissful moment. Izuku had a smile on his lips, and returned her short declaration with a warm hug, running a hand through her vine hair.

"Sure, I'll always be there for you, Ibara"

And they stood like this for some time, completely forgetting that they had spectators around them.

"I hope you're planning to do something on the same level with us soon, Deku-kun" Ochako said in her happy menacing voice, making the duo on the floor flinch.

"Umm, s-sure, whenever you want, O-Ochako" Izuku stumbled a little on his words.

The brunette walked to them and kneed next to him. He looked at her expecting to find her 'really serious' aura but what he saw was simply sweet and justifiable jealousness, in the form of a pout.

"I'm serious, Izuku. I know it's asking a lot of you but we haven't spent some quality time together in weeks. Sure, I absolutely love to fuck but we can do other nice things, right?"

Both Izuku and Ibara looked at the brunette. Well, that was unexpected. Ibara in special was completely lost. It was like facing the boss at the end of a level.

"Umm, Uraraka-san… I hope we can all get well together..." She said shyly.

"Hah? What are you talking about? We're almost family already"

"Eh?" The naked couple said together.

"I mean, it's not official since we're Izuku's girlfriends, but I'm sure he's planning to the future… right, Izuku?" She looked at the emerald boy with a menacingly bright smile.

"S-sure!"

Ibara let out a sigh of relief. In the end, she would stay with him. It would take some time until she got used with the idea of being part of a harem, but she was sure she would learn to like it. It couldn't be that bad to have some extra company in her life with him. Getting up, Ibara picked up her clothes, just putting on the nightgown, then turned to her new friends and future sisters? How should she see them, really?

"I think I should be going. I wasn't supposed to be awake so late at night..." She said with a shy smile on her lips.

"None of us should, really. Well, you heard the girl, back to bed you crazy girls" Nemuri said, walking to the boy laying on the floor. "And you, Honey, try not to get every girl you meet falling for you. I want to have you for myself sometimes~"

"I-I not doing that on purpose, you know..."

"We know that, Sweetie. But I have to agree with Nemuri" Yu joined her. The two more mature ladies leaned in and gave a quick peck on his cheeks, then a kiss on his lips, one after another.

"Sleep well, Sweetie~"

"Dream with me naked tonight, Honey~"

"Oh, shut up"

"Okay, okay, dream with Yu naked too~"

"~sigh~ You heard the woman"

The two walked away still bickering. Meanwhile, he felt arms wrap around his neck from behind.

"Say, Izuku, how many girls do you want to have in your harem? Is a hundred enough or do you need more?~"

"Don't even joke about that, Setsuna..."

She laughed lightly, then gave him a good night kiss, followed by Itsuka.

"You should really consider that, so we can prepare in advance" Said the orange haired girl. "So, let's go, Ibara?"

"Sure. Have the best dreams, Izuku" And the three girls from the other class left.

"Well, I haven't slept in a few days. Guess I have to take the opportunity" Mei stretched her arms, letting out a yawn.

"Please take more care of your health, Mei..." Izuku sweatdropped.

"That's why I stick around you. Goodnight, Izuku" After her own goodnight kiss, Mei headed to her dorms.

That left him with the girls from his class. They simply walked together back to 1-A dorms, silent as a mouse while sneaking back to their rooms. Izuku gave a goodnight kiss on each of them, then headed back to his room, took a quick shower and let his body hit the bed. Finally, some good amount of sleep as it didn't pass much from 1 am. Before the sleep could reach him, his mind had one last thought.

"Future… huh…"

End Of Chapter

And here you go. Funny, without noticing I did something similar to Itsuka in terms of progression, but in a single huge chapter. About the next girls, I guess I'm done with 1-B. I really don't know how to work with Komori, Kodai, Yanagi or Tsunotori, at least in a way that doesn't look generic or repetitive. I'm still struggling to think of something for the next two girls and sometimes I just run out of ideas, so I'm open to suggestions. Who knows, I might be struck with a good piece of plot hearing from you guys. And don't worry, I didn't forget about Himiko. I'm waiting for the right moment to put her on the spotlight again and hopefully, it'll be a blast.

Once again, sorry for the delay. Thanks for reading and for all the follows and favorites. See y'all later!
