"Papa is just like Herc-san!"
All of the teens of 1-A and 1-B turned to where the little ones were upon hearing what Eri had said. They all had just finished watching Hercules and it seemed that Eri had an epiphany.
"What do you mean, gero?" asked Satsuki, tilting her head in confusion.
"Papa is really strong just like Herc-san!" squeaked out the unicorn child with a beaming smile, causing Izuku to blush at the praise. "And Mama is sassy like Meg-san!"
Kyouka arched an eyebrow at hearing this. "Eri, sweetie, where did you hear the word "sassy" from?"
"That's what the alien lady says you are, Mama," replied the child, her big, red eyes filled with innocence.
The purplette turned with a mild glare to the pink one, who in turn just gave off a slight grin.
"You know it's true, Kyouka-chan~"
"Whether it's true or not is not the point, Mina. The point is you keeping saying things in front of Eri without explaining what they mean," stated the shy rocker. "Like the time you said that Kirishima is a red version of Izuku…"
"Which he is and Midori is a green version of Kiri!"
"…Only for Eri to think she had two Papas because of that," finished Kyouka.
"Wait, what?" questioned the green and red cinnamon rolls of Class 1-A. This was the first they heard of this.
"Never mind that," came the quick reply from Kyouka with a slight blush. She then continued on. "Just try to pay attention to what you say in front of Eri, Mina."
"You got it, Kyouka-chan!" replied Mina with a salute.
For some reason, Kyouka knew Mina would forget.
While Kyouka dealt with Mina, the little ones went over to where Izuku was.
"Are you really super strong, Izu-nii, gero?"
Not being the type to brag, Izuku tried to stutter out an answer that didn't make it seem like he was all that good. Some of his classmates thought otherwise.
"You bet Midori-bro is strong!" exclaimed Kirishima with a sharp-toothed grin, while next to him stood Bakugou with a scowl. "He's super manly and kicks lots of villain butt!"
"Indeed. There have been many situations we have been in that we would not have won if it were not for Midoriya," added Tokoyami.
"I wouldn't even be where I'm at if it weren't for Midoriya's help," stated Shouto as he looked at his left hand.
"And it all started with Izuku cleaning the beach back home," said Kyouka with smirk, having overheard the conversation.
The others looked at the purplette in confusion, while Izuku tensed up.
"K-Kyouka, wh-what are you doing? I didn't tell you about that so you can brag!" squeaked out the greenie.
But Kyouka just rolled her eyes. "It's not bragging, Izu-kun. Think of it as part of your origin story."
Izuku let out a groan as the others looked back and forth between him and Kyouka.
"So wait, what's this about a beach?" asked Awase.
Seeing as how Izuku was going to talk, Kyouka decided to explain in his stead. "There's a beach back home, Takoba Beach, that became a dumping ground for scrap metal and other pieces of trash."
"Hm, I remember that and it was finally cleaned earlier in the year," said Tokoyami with a hum. He then turned to Izuku. "I assume you are the reason for that?"
Letting out a sigh, Izuku explained. "H-Hai. Cleaning the beach was the training I did before the UA entrance exams."
"And you cleaned it all by yourself?" questioned Kaminari in awe.
"H-Hai."
"And because of that training, Izu-kun can lift over a thousand pounds without his Quirk," said Kyouka with a slight grin. Was she bragging now? Maybe, but she didn't care. She was proud of her man and she was going to show it, damn it.
Izuku blushed brightly as everyone else stared at him with wide eyes, although Bakugou was gritting his teeth in anger and frustration.
"Dude, seriously?! Sounds like you could give Shouji a run for his money!" exclaimed Sero, impressed
"Shishida, too!" added Tetsutetsu, just as impressed.
"Ooh! You need to show us your lifting game, Midoriya!" chirped Hagakure, bouncing slightly in excitement.
"Wh-What? H-How am I supposed to do that here?!" questioned Izuku, hoping to get out of this situation.
"I know!" said Mina with a grin. She then grabbed Kyouka and Tsuyu and dragged them towards the couch, ignoring their confusion. Once at the couch, where Pony and Reiko were already sitting, she sat them down before taking a seat herself. "Try lifting the couch with the five of us on it! Should be a breeze for someone as strong as you!"
The greenie tried to sputter out protests, but Kyouka had other ideas.
"Just do it, Izuku, if only to get Mina off your back."
With another sigh, Izuku walked over and stepped behind the couch where he then, without his Quirk, effortlessly lifted up the occupied couch and held it over his head, much to everyone's shock. Squeaks of excitement came from Eri and Satsuki upon seeing this feat and they would have rushed over to Izuku had Shouji not quickly scooped them up so they wouldn't be in harm's way.
"Wow! Izuku really IS strong!" squeaked Pony with a giggle.
"Hai, it is quite impressive," stated Reiko, putting her hand on her chest where she could feel her heartbeat speed up a little. "It is almost as if Midoriya-kun completed his own set of labors like Hercules did."
"Told you it would be easy for Midori!"
But Tsuyu just rolled her eyes. "No one said you'd be wrong, Mina, gero."
"How are you doing down there, Izu-kun?" asked Kyouka.
"I'm fine, although I do have one concern."
The shy rocker furrowed her brow. "What would that be?"
"Have you girls been getting enough to eat? If it weren't for the fact that I know you're all up there, I would think I was holding up just the couch," said Izuku with worry, causing all five girls to blush at his inadvertent compliment.
'How the hell is he so smooth?!' thought a majority of the boys, looking at Izuku with blank looks. Mineta on the other hand was frothing from the mouth at how Izuku was better at getting women's attention than he was.
"Why did Midori have to be an only child?" muttered out Mina, her now lilac cheeks burning.
"You're a very lucky woman, Jirou," said Reiko, glancing at the bright red rocker next to her. The other girls couldn't help but agree with the ghost girl's assessment.
"I-Izu-kun, you c-can set us d-down n-now!" Kyouka said with a stutter.
Complying with his girlfriend's wishes, Izuku gently set the couch down, allowing the girls to stand. Once on the ground, Kyouka quickly made her way over to Izuku and brought him into a hug.
"Wh-What's this for?" asked the greenie, surprised by the sudden hug, but returning it nonetheless.
"Just for being you," replied the purplette, snuggling into his embrace.
Kyouka continued to snuggle with her greenie, while Eri and Satsuki rushed over and chirped and babbled about how strong Izuku was and how he could scare off all of the scary villains. While that was going on, Mina and the other girls were giving the boys narrowed looks, causing them to shirk back in fear.
"You boys could really learn a thing or two from Midori when it comes to girls!"
The boys could only groan in exasperation at being put on the spot thanks to an unknowing Izuku.
