Hello and welcome to another experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, and for the first time, I will be incorporating a combination of action and adventure here as I find it quite challenging, as most of my other Hero Academia fics are purely romantic and comedic, and here this is where I will put the characters to the test.
This fic came to light when I was currently working on my current fic, Izuku's Sensual Adventures, in which the first arc featured Melissa Shield from Hero Academia: The Two Heroes. After watching that movie, I had some reservations as to how to make a fic involving Melissa, and when I re-watched the episode of the anime where Midoriya got the One for All Quirk from All Might via swallowing All Might's hair, I sort of understand how that Quirk was passed to another person.
It was then an idea popped into my head as I wondered how Midoriya would do the same and pass that Quirk to someone else, though through an accident, and there it hit me and decided to try it out, and make a story where Melissa would transition from a Quirkless student-inventor-researcher to an aspiring hero.
Of course this will be a Midoriya x Melissa pairing and this chapter would determine if it could attract readers…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Kyūjo X jiken
Several months have passed after All Might and half of Class 1-A saved I-Island, its residents, some of the pro heroes and David Shield from the clutches of Wolfram and his goons, and I-Island is grateful to the heroes involved and invited them to a future event, which All Might graciously accepted, and this time all of Class 1-A students are invited, and the students were glad that they helped in stopping Wolfram and saved everyone at I-Island.
Melissa then told Iida and Yaoyorozu that she will send them an e-mail on when the next event would take place so that they can notify their classmates and prepare for the future occasion, which the two class reps thanked Melissa for the generosity she showed.
"An invite…?"
"Really, Melissa?"
"Yes, and please invite all your classmates. The more the merrier."
"Very well! The next event all of Class 1-A will be in attendance!"
"As Iida and I serve as class representatives, Class 1-A will surely be there."
"That's nice to hear. I'll let you know and I'll be expecting you all."
"Thanks, Melissa."
"Thank you, Melissa."
Melissa then sent a lot of text and e-mail messages to Midoriya and sent him her regards, which most of the boys of Class 1-A began teasing him and asked when is he going to make his move and woo Melissa, which the green-haired boy became flustered and told them to knock it off, but Mineta, Kaminari and Sero questioned him if he is fantasizing about Melissa, and Midoriya blushed deeper and deny the accusations.
The three boys then tells him to make his move, saying that it is not always that he would come across such a hottie like Melissa and even requested to take a picture of Melissa in her bikini, and Midoriya told them to knock it off and tells them to do it themselves, which resulted in a rather loud bickering between the four boys.
"Come on, Midoriya…"
"Send us a picture of Melissa in her bikini…"
"In a two-piece bikini…"
"I can't do that!"
"Sure you can!"
"You can do it…you're close to her…so it's not a problem…"
"Come on, Midoriya…plus ultra!"
"Leave me alone!"
Iida and Yaoyorozu heard it and began to reprimand the three boys, telling them that Melissa is a good girl and does not deserved to be treated like a sex object, and they told the trio not to use Midoriya just to see Melissa in risqué outfits and berated them for their perverted cravings.
"How despicable!"
"Are you guys really perverted? Show some shame!"
"Melissa will get a bad impression if she finds out what you're requesting from Midoriya!"
"You'll put Class 1-A in a bad light!"
"Sorry…"
"Sorry…"
"Sorry…"
"…"
Mineta, Sero and Kaminari just rolled their eyes as they were given a strict sermon, and Midoriya sighed in relief as he can get away from his classmates who are requesting for a bikini picture of Melissa, and he wondered why he is being used to make such requests.

Several weeks later, news broke out that the League of Villains attacked a training camp involving UA Academy, where Katsuki Bakugo is kidnapped, and many students were injured in the process. Melissa was among the viewers who saw the news, and became worried as she knew that Midoriya is among the students who were victimized by the attack.
Some of Melissa's classmates said that she is fortunate that she wasn't a student at UA, or else she too would end up at the hospital, as they said that they are now wary towards UA for having such lax security, and if Melissa were to possess a Quirk, she might become a target as well.
"Gosh, Melissa…you're fortunate."
"Yeah, if you were a student at UA High you might end up in a hospital."
"If those villains took an interest in you they might kidnap you as well."
"Especially if you possess a Quirk…"
"Thanks for the concern…but don't worry. I'll be fine."
"Really?"
"Still you ought to be careful."
"You heard it, Melissa."
As her classmates urged her to avoid UA High for the time being, Melissa did not respond as she began to send a text message to Midoriya, asking how is he, yet there is no response, and she felt worried, unaware that he is among the five students who are planning a rescue mission to save Bakugo.
Several hours later, Melissa is among the viewers in I-Island who are watching the live and televised news where All Might battles All for One, and she, along with many viewers worldwide, are surprised to see All Might's true form, and yet he eventually triumphed over All for One, and made a victory gesture just to show that he is okay.
Melissa can hear her fellow residents and schoolmates cheering and thrilled at seeing All Might in action, yet she can hear some who felt that All Might may have taken his last battle and wondered where this would lead to, and whether he can continue being the SYMBOL OF PEACE, having seen his true form for the first time.
"That's All Might for you…"
"Yeah, the number one hero…"
"Look at him…he's skinny…"
"Is this the end?"
"No way…"
"What'll happen now?"
"Who's gonna replace him as the Symbol of Peace?"
"…"
Feeling worried, Melissa attempted to call Midoriya, but there is no answer, and all she could do now is wait for the news, hoping that he and All Might are okay.

In a matter of days, word got out that All Might has officially retired from being a pro hero, and this sent shockwaves all over, especially at I-Island, and the scene shows that Melissa visited her father, David, at jail, and there he finally, and reluctantly, told his daughter the secret between him and All Might, about how the now-retired number one hero got injured years prior to becoming a teacher at UA Academy, and that All Might's Quirk was steadily declining until the last few days.
Melissa was shocked that she is unaware that All Might was carrying such a burden, and regretted not doing anything to help him, but David assured to Melissa that All Might will be fine and that he is said to be training his successor, and when she asked who the successor is, David said he has no idea, for he forgot to ask All Might who the successor is.
"Sorry, I too have no idea."
"Eh?"
"I forgot to ask."
"I see."
"If All Might visits again then you can ask him who his successor is."
"Okay."
"Don't feel bad, Melissa."
"I know."
Nevertheless, David tells his daughter not to worry too much and told her to concentrate on her studies and dreams, saying that those are what she would want to do in order to indirectly help the heroes, and Melissa nodded and tells her dad that she loves him and will wait for the day that he can be released when paroled.
"I'll be waiting, papa. I'm sure that you'll be paroled."
"I know."
"Stay safe and behave."
"I will."
"Take care."
"You too, Melissa."
"Bye, papa. I love you."
"I love you too, my daughter."

Several weeks have passed and Melissa continued her studies and research on how to assist the pro heroes, and there she got an e-mail from Midoriya, where he greeted her and asked how her dad is doing, and assured to her that All Might is doing okay, and then showed her the provisional hero license that Midoriya acquired, which made Melissa happy, and she replied via e-mail, asking him if he is free within the month.
Midoriya replied via e-mail, saying that he could visit her by the end of the month as he is undergoing hero work-study, and promised to meet her soon, which Melissa smiled and replied that she will be waiting.
A few weeks later, Midoriya finally got the free time to visit I-Island, and is now on his way to visit Melissa, and soon the two teens meet up, where she hugged him in a friendly way, as she is glad to see him, and while he blushed deeply, he wasn't as shy as before, and reluctantly hugged her in return, and there she led him to a park where the two are alone.
There Melissa asked for details on what happened to All Might and how Midoriya is doing after watching the news report about him battling Kai Chisaki and his organization, and there he told her about his encounter with Chisaki, along with rescuing a six-year old girl named Eri, how she is forcefully used by Chisaki to make Quirk-erasing bullets, sir Nighteye sacrificing his life to save Midoriya and Eri, and everything else.
Melissa was quite surprised at seeing that Midoriya remained in one piece and that All Might is no longer involved in fighting villains, and she asked him if he is okay now after such a grueling battle.
"I'm fine, Melissa-san. I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Yes. Really."
"…"
"Don't worry. I'm okay…All Might is okay, so you have nothing to worry about."
"Deku…"
"It's okay, Melissa-san…"
"…"
After hearing that he is okay, Melissa finally told Midoriya that her father told her about what All Might went through, that he was carrying such a burden just before finally defeating All For One, and said that had she known about this earlier, specifically during his visit at I-Island months ago, she could have come up with a way to help him and not force him to expend his remaining Quirk.
Midoriya was surprised that Melissa somehow learned most of the truth and now she is feeling guilty and regret, and not wanting her to get the emotional burden on All Might's forced retirement he gently held her hand and assured to her that she is not to be blamed and that All Might did what he had to do, reasoning that he was already prepared for this and even said that the now-retired pro hero has no regrets.
Midoriya even said that All Might told him that the future of the symbol of peace lies within the next generation of heroes and that he will support UA from behind the scenes, and even said that despite losing his Quirk, All Might never loses his smile.
"I'm fine, Melissa-san. I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Yes. Really."
"…"
"Don't worry. I'm okay…All Might is okay, so you have nothing to worry about."
"Deku…"
"It's okay, Melissa-san…"
"…"
Melissa was quite moved by what she heard, yet she still felt emotional about her father's friend now forced to abdicate his role as a pro hero, and feels down, and began to embrace him as she still feels that she could have done something to help All Might. Midoriya blushed again yet he can sympathize with her and hugged her in response, telling her that it is okay and told her not to let the recent events get to her, reiterating that it is not her or anyone's fault.
The two teens remained in an embrace as Midoriya continued to give her emotional support and the hug lasted for some minutes until she eventually felt quite better, and as she moved back, she stared at the boy and slowly felt into a trance, as she suddenly took notice of his looks, as she unknowingly felt a sudden attraction towards the boy.
Likewise, Midoriya was taken aback at seeing Melissa up close, seeing that she is not wearing her glasses and began to take notice of her beauty. Both stared at each other for several seconds before she unknowingly lean forward and gently pressed her lips against his, and a kiss is formed, which the younger boy unknowingly moved his lips as it matches her movement.
The kiss was innocent and neither teens are aware of what they are doing, as emotional moment took hold of them, until both snapped out of their trance and slowly moved their heads back, where they finally realized what they just did, and blushed furiously in reply.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
It took several seconds before Midoriya is the first to reply, and apologized for TAKING ADVANTAGE of her even though he did not do anything as he only respond to the kiss she made, yet Melissa stated that she is the one who's at fault, saying that she did not know what got into her yet Midoriya insisted that he was the one yet she insisted that it was her.
"S-sorry, Melissa-san…"
"No, Deku…it's my fault…"
"But I…"
"It was me who…"
"I'm guilty…"
"I'm the one to be blamed…"
"Um…"
"Ah…"
After that, the two began to giggle, feeling foolish at bickering over something yet both blushed as they accidentally got their first kiss, and Midoriya is suddenly confused on how and why this happened, and now emotions filled his head as he wondered if he developed feelings for Melissa as he couldn't believe that he got attracted to her all of the sudden.
Likewise, Melissa wondered why she did that, as she sees Midoriya as a friend and confidant when it comes to All Might, and now she finds attraction towards him after seeing him again after several months after the hostage situation at I-Island.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as Midoriya and Melissa meet up months after the events of the anime film, and there she is told on why All Might is forced to retire, yet she wasn't daunted thanks to Midoriya.
Looks like they got their first kiss though it was unintentional and this is where the romance part come in…
Preview:
