Hello there everyone so this isn't another chapter, not feeling like writing one just yet, but I have a question for you all, who should get One For All in this story? No I'm not planning to give it to me/Izuku, his already fragile and fractured mind would almost quite literally melt out of his ears at that, his quirk is strong in its own way. Plus I already said how this story itself wasn't the one of how he became the strongest hero, ideas for who gets it are, Shinso who will be taking Minetta's place in 1A, Mirio obviously, Iida, and you all are going to think I'm crazy for this last one but Kyoka. That being said I'll be taking into account others who might make a good one, even the UA traitor who will remain unchanged, the thing is, well just because every day can make a difference, doesn't mean the main story shifts all that much. UPDATE!
I don't own MHA, this story does contain themes of drug use, alcohol abuse, suicidal tendencies, depression, self harm, and other serious issues, read at your own discretion. Oh just to make the timeline clear this chapter starts around halfway through his time in middle school. Aka he is 13 right now, Himiko is in her last year of middle school now, also the dorm system is in place early in this universe. So the voting is still going on but I was inspired, it's time for chapter three, as said before this one he will be meeting Kyoka and Mei. As well as everyone getting to see how Izuku, or as she likes to call him Izubae and Himiko interact, plus him making friends with Twice. One more thing, yes I do show bits and pieces of their adult lives but any hanky panky in the story won't even be implied, at least not till they are 18. For one thing they are all either trying to become heroes, or get hired by a support company, for two none want a "shotgun wedding" lol. This tale will have its dark twists and turns, but will always course correct towards a brighter future, be it by his hand or another's, now as they say, "on with the show."
Chapter Three : Twice Baked Crazy, A Beachside Forge, and Heroic Passions.
This time you all will get to see how Izuku and Himiko spend their time, plus them forging bodies into ones capable of hero work, also a meeting of minds. They will also be working on forging their dreams together, be it in person, or over a chat using electronic communication. Izuku is no fool he knows that if "He" finds out they are fucked, but that's not the only thing important. What's most important to him is making sure those who deserve a second chance get one, and those that don't are punished accordingly. For some that will mean time in prison, but for others, ones whose victims won't or wouldn't forgive them, it means a fate worse than death.
Izuku woke up one morning to his phone going off saying, "a phone call is here" ,in All Might's voice, answering he says, "hello Mr. Power." A small smirk on his face but All Might's words make it leave as quickly as it appeared, he says, "Dreamer we found her but were too late. She is in that man's hands now" ,the last part makes Izuku's blood run cold and then burn with rage, he starts to growl. Then he says, "call a meeting, you are one of the only people who can get to everyone in a hurry. Yes I mean everyone now go!" ,before hanging up and calling Himiko, when she answers she says, "mmm Izubae you woke me up. We aren't supposed to meet for our date till around noon" ,he is still growling a bit and says, "we can't go on the date. Eri is now in that man's hands" ,she responds, "fuck it ok I'll get ready to go now. So are we meeting at the usual place or somewhere else?" ,Izuku thinks about this and then says, "I actually have an idea about that. But haven't had the chance to contact them yet, give me a bit love you my Himi."
After saying that he hangs up and does two things, the first is to open his laptop and get on a video posting site, going to Gentle Criminal's page. Finding the newest video he starts it and then replies at the same time, "I know you have the heart of a hero, even with how you are acting. If you truly want to help don't ignore the next call that you get" ,sending it and waiting for the video to end after that. A few seconds after it ends he calls using a number he got in one of his dreams, hoping that it's the right one, as it rings he feels his tension mounting. Then a man's voice comes over the connection and asks, "hello, who is this, and how did you get this number?" ,Izuku lets out a sigh. Then he says, "I'm the one who just responded to your latest post, and to answer your other question, you gave it to me, or would have. I don't have time to explain properly now but a young girl is in trouble, will you help to if not save her now, to set up her rescue in the future?" Less than a second later the man says, "you will have my support, and that of my La Brava" ,Izuku says, "good, send me your location."
After that he hangs up and waits for the notification to come through, once it does he sends it to All Might with a text saying, "new meeting spot and allies." His only response to that was a thumbs up and a smile, one that even though it was a emoji he could sense the anger behind it. He then sends the notification to Himiko and finishes getting ready, heading out after leaving his mom a note that says, "I love you mom should be back in a day or two, if not don't worry. I'll be fine and will call you tonight or tomorrow, don't call me things are going to be a little crazy for a bit." Locking the door behind him as he heads out, then stretches before heading off at the pace of a jog, not knowing he is being trailed by an "Angry Bomberanian" in urban cammo. Having forgotten that they had plans to do some training, with everything that went on so far this morning, and soon he arrives at the train station.
Getting on the train he rubs his temples and says, "ok it's not that bad, we save her sometime" ,then mumbles to himself while thinking. Eyes closed and not caring how many people are looking at him, going over different plans in his mind, then smells a faintly sweet smell. Opening his eyes he sees Kaachan standing in front of him, then he groans saying, "fuck I knew I was forgetting something. Kaachan you sh-" ,he starts out by saying only to get his mouth covered and hear, "f that noise, I can tell you are worried Deku, what's up?" The gloves keeping the sweat off Izuku's skin even with his mouth being covered, then he nods, when the hand moves back saying, "touch my arm. Also try not to blow up the train car" ,whispering both these things to his best friend, closing his eyes to concentrate on the dream he wants to show. Kaachan sits down and pushes his forearm against the side of Izuku's and when the vision plays out in front of him is confused at first. By the end his hands are gripping the seat below him, causing smoke to come off it, as he barely holds himself back from letting out worse explosions.
When he opens his eyes again he in a anger filled whisper asks, "can I blow his fucking arm off?" ,glaring straight in front of them both. Izuku smiles and says, "oh I'd love to see that but it would be a bit much, don't worry if things get there my plan will more than satisfy us both." He then whispers his plan to Bakugo and watches as the glare is soon replaced by a look of surprise, before he can reply Himiko sits down. Having made sure to go to the station he was most likely to end up at and then she says, "hi there Bakugo, so Izubae decided to bring you into this." Then she sees the glare that is given towards Izuku and says, "oh or not" ,then hears, "he followed me to the train. Then decided to ask what was going on, for now let's not talk about it, the walls have ears after all" ,the other two look up. Seeing the people around them looking them over with some curiosity, and then Bakugo stands up asking, "what do you extra's want?"
The people who were looking at them stopped and most looked away, only a couple keep glancing over at them as Izuku checks his phone. Then a few stops after that he says, "ok this is the closest station to where we are heading, let's get going" ,and he heads for the door. Himiko takes his hand and gives it a small squeeze while saying, "it will be ok Izubae, even if we don't save her today." Izuku smiles as she says that and squeezes her hand back then whispers, "thank you my Himi" ,as they all step off the train. Checking the address of the destination one more time and where they are currently Izuku says, "ok it's three blocks south and four east of here." Heading towards the building and taking a few alleyways just in case someone is following them, but never checking.
Arriving at the building Izuku sees Dabi standing by the entrance and lets Himiko's hand go asking, "hey there Pyro, how are you doing?" This causes a laugh to come from the shadows of a nearby gap between the two buildings and a man in a black and gray bodysuit walks out. He starts out by saying, "oh that was a good one" ,a second later he says, "meh it could have been better, still it fits him" ,sounding almost bored. Izuku blinks and then smiles saying, "well Dabi I didn't expect you to actually bring him to meet us in person just yet" ,Dabi chuckles. Then he says, "I couldn't help it, we were dealing with some trash better left in a dumpster when Mr. Power shows up. He blurts out that there's an emergency meeting then says he'll throw the trash away for me and jumps off, I doubt he even saw Twice in his haste. Also you and him have been texting already plus everyone else in the group, so far only my side has met him" ,then he shrugs. Twice has walked up and is saying, "speaking of thanks for all the data kid" ,as he goes to knock on the door saying, "we might as well get started."
Izuku rubs his chin and going with his gut asks, "Dabi have you and Twice met up with Shigaraki yet?" ,this causes Twice to stiffen up. Dabi looks at him and then sighs saying, "y-yeah we did he still hates All Might, but we have gotten him to see a therapist. Who he has seen a few times, not Midnight though we used a different one she recommended. He still is pretty angry but things are looking better" ,Twice says, "yeah he even found a cat and is taking care of it, Kurogiri is helping him. At first I was worried because of his quirk but he puts on gloves around it" ,Izuku smirks and pulls out a notebook. Then he shows Twice a picture and says, "these would be better, it's like a cross between those mittens you can wear and uncover your fingers, and fingerless gloves. A quick tug and he can attack if necessary, then put them back on after" ,Twice says, "holy crap kid, that's genius" ,smiling.
While they were talking Gentle had come to see what the noise was about, seeing a mix of teenagers and grown adults standing there. Clearing his throat at the pause in the conversation he says, "ok I recognize his voice, but don't know anyone else here" ,pointing at Izuku. Izuku motions for everyone to introduce themselves, Bakugo steps forward and says, "Katsuki Bakugo, Kaachan to Deku, and my friends." Then steps to the side, Himiko is there next and says, "Himiko Toga, Izubae's girlfriend, and the first person he kept off a dark path." Dabi stands behind her and steps up saying, "Dabi, the first he pulled off the path, now I work for him finding others we can help." Twice steps in and says, "we're going to say this as straight up as we can, Izuku might not look like much now but he wants to help others. He has already helped some who don't know about it yet, shhh I was getting to that, and he is getting help on both sides of things."
Gentle sighs and says, "oh ok, well you should come in I know tea might not be to everyone's taste I have coffee as well" ,and waves them in. Izuku smiles and pulls out a few notebooks then everyone else just sighs saying, "of course he had them" ,and Dabi sees one red one. Izuku says, "these are for you and La Brava, give her the red notebook and read it if you want. Just know the knowledge in it is dangerous to have" ,giving him his most serious look. Dabi says, "he isn't kidding, I burned mine after memorizing every detail, Twice caught me reading mine. That's how him and Izuku started texting" ,Bakugo walks over and says, "Izuku I want a red notebook, I've seen you write in them for years. You always told me that you were just making plans for the future" ,Izuku says, "make sure you destroy every scrap" ,handing one over.
Taking the notebook he says, "oh I will, after it's memorized" ,and puts it in his coat, which has extra pockets inside it. There's a loud bang and then a voice saying, "ow dang it botched the landing" ,before there's a knock on the door, Izuku chuckles. Walking to the door he opens it and says, "ah I knew you would be one of the first heroes to show up, welcome Mr. Power, Gentle here is the uh tenant." Gentle looks at All Might and then says, "what have I gotten myself into" ,and then shakes his head saying, "no a young lady is in trouble." Walking over he says, "Izuku why don't you help everyone set up, and get drinks, the kitchen is on the second floor. Along with a room we can put some chairs and other furniture in to make everything a bit more comfortable. I'll great our guests as they arrive" ,Izuku nods and says, "ok everyone we are heading to the second floor. Hmmm Twice make a copy of All Might to help move furniture" ,Twice shrugs and gets the numbers, as people are heading up the stairs. Around a hour or hour and a half later everyone is sitting in the room, Gentle, La Brava, Izuku, All Might, and Dabi all at the biggest table with a couple other people.
All Might stands up and says, "ok most of you know why we are here now, and for those of you who don't let me explain it, you all know Izuku's quirk. It lets him see the future in his dreams and he can show you a full day in a hour, plus see nearly twenty years into the future, or over. Anyway we are her to try and prevent a young girl from being subjected to horrible things all so one man can profit from it" ,he then motions to Izuku who stands up. He says, "her name is Eri, and in the worst version I saw she told me how she had some days he reset her four times. That's just her words for it, he would literally kill her and revive her Dabi has first blood rights because he can take an arm then cauterize the wound. Anyway we are here to try and find a way to prevent that future, or at least find her sooner" ,he then gets people to talking.
A few of the heroes and villains who showed up thought to grab some food to bring along, as they were eating dinner Twice asks, "why don't we just attack now? Well because we don't actually know where she is right now, if we go in they have every chance to move her before we get to her. It would be easier to join them and sneak her out than go in with an all out attack" ,earning a few looks and asks, "what did I say something dumb again?" Izuku shakes his head and says, "no Twice you said something brilliant, ok all in favor of Twice's plan say Aye" ,everyone responds with an Aye. Around midnight they finish the planning stage and have decided to send in Twice, Present Mic, Dabi, and Gentle Criminal with Mic in a disguise. Knowing it could be a few weeks before they even get close to Eri they decide to split up and go about their lives like usual while keeping in touch, around two months later a notification comes to the group. It's a picture of Eri, Mic, Twice, Dabi, and Gentle all in a hotel room. The text says, "we did it, Eraser is coming to take us to UA, or well Eri and Mic at least, anyway we are all safe." Izuku sigh's and says, "ah whew I was getting a little worried about those guys and her" ,while stretching to get ready for a workout.
He then texts them back and it says, "good job you four thank you for doing that" ,not knowing that something worse was happening. Chisaki had gotten a couple pints of Eri's blood and some tissue and skin samples having just started his plans for the young lady. With the connections he has he is talking to some underground doctors, and finds one who specializes in the cloning process. Using all of the blood and tissue he makes a clone of Eri and has the doctor speed her growth up using growth hormones, around four months later having a clone. At the time he is checking on the clone Izuku and Himiko are at Izuku's house celebrating her finishing her last year of middle school. Which mostly consisted of her cuddling up to him on the couch while they watched a movie and eat some snacks, the Bakugo's and Inko there as well.
As he smiles softly he says, "mmm just think in a few months you will be in the hero course at UA or another hero school. Tomorrow we have no plans for working out or anything, I'm thinking we spend the day shopping, swimming, or possibly even both." Himiko smirks asking, "oh you just want to see me in my bikini don't you Izubae?" ,causing Izuku to blush and he says, "n-no. I would also like to check out a few new stores that opened up recently" ,and he shows her them on his phone map which causes her to chuckle. She nods and says, "ok then I say shopping first, if we do swim before we might be too tired to go shopping after that which would be terrible."
They continue to watch the movie and relax soon Mitsuki asks, "so Katsuki why don't you have a little girlfriend or a boyfriend of your own yet?" Izuku looks over and notices how his best friends face goes completely red and he asks, "w-what if I do and just didn't want to introduce them to you?" This causes Himiko to sit up a bit then say, "oh I want to know all the juicy details!" ,which just makes him blush even more as he starts talking. Before he can even finish Izuku asks, "wait you asked out Saraki?" ,and this makes Katsuki say, "yeah or uh we asked each other out. Like literally one day we were having lunch on the roof and we both asked at the same time, this was just over a year ago now." Izuku nods and says, "I kinda wondered why you two had gotten so close this past year, that explains everything though, I wish you two luck." Mitsuki is sitting there and says, "my boy kept a secret from me, not only about him having a girlfriend but that they have been together for a year." Katsuki says, "oh that isn't the only secret I have so Izuku and Himiko are..." ,his mouth getting covered as Izuku says, "not the time!"
All three adults look at them and Inko says, "no I think now is the perfect time" ,giving Izuku the look, one that sends shivers down his spine. He then says, "fine but you can't tell anyone about this, it's literally the difference between life and death for some people if the wrong person finds out." He then tells them everything he has been doing for the past few years working with heroes and villains, also how they rescued Eri, showing the adults a picture of her. By the end of the story Inko is looking shocked, Mitsuki is admiring the cuteness of Eri and she says, "I want another baby now honey." This makes Inko chuckle and she says, "ah yes she is rather cute, now Izuku why would knowing this put people in danger?" ,and see's Izuku text someone. A minute later he gets a text back and says, "ok then, so the reason is there's a villain out there who has nearly all the villains on his side. Be it by blackmail or some other means of controlling them" ,he then tells them everything he knows about All For One and One For All's rivalry.
By the time he is done all three adults are shocked, a bit mad, and scared, Inko asks, "and you c-can't just let the adults handle everything?" Izuku says, "uh no if I wasn't involved they wouldn't have been able to do this, or at least not as fast as they did it" ,making his eyes glow. Inko nods understanding the unspoken words and then says, "ok no more running away and just leaving a note for me. Got it young man?!" ,this makes Izuku nod and then he asks, "can we go back to watching the movie now that there's nothing left to explain?" Inko sighs and looks at Mitsuki who just nods, then Inko says, "sure but I want to know when or if something like this happens again."
It's around dusk that evening as Izuku is walking Himiko to the train station and she says, "today was fun, except for the interrogation." This makes him chuckle and he says, "I know what you mean, so nine thirty at the shopping center was what we decided" ,only to be pulled into a kiss. Kissing her back he blushes and when she pulls away she says, "mhm and don't be late or no more sugar for you" ,then kisses his cheek. Leaving him standing there a little stunned she walks into the train and says, "oh I love how easy to distract and confuse you can be Izubae. Now you should get going home, I'll see you tomorrow ok?" ,she asks, getting a nod in return, then says, "I love you." He smiles and replies with, "I love you too my Himi" ,making her blush just as the doors close, then heads off towards his home.
The next morning Izuku wakes up to his alarm going off at 8:00 and gets up, putting on some sweat pants then goes downstairs to make breakfast. Around a hour later after finishing cleaning up he calls out, "ok Mom I'm heading out to meet up with Himiko, will be back later today." Then he heads out taking the train and arriving around 9:15 not knowing if Himiko was joking last night, not wanting to risk it either. She arrives a few minutes later and then says, "oh hmmm you look nice today" ,he had changed into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt after breakfast. She is wearing a blue blouse and a skirt, red and black stripes on the skirt which reaches halfway to her knees, he says, "you look great my Himi." They spend the next few hours shopping and enjoying themselves, having lunch at a new restaurant that had opened around two months ago. Part way through their meal Izuku says, "this place is rather nice, I can see it becoming our favorite dinner date destination."
After that Himiko asks, "oh and why do you say that?" ,he smiles and explains how in a lot of the times he has seen they will eat here. Or just end up making something to eat together and have a date night at home, then he takes her hand kissing it, which causes her to blush. After they finish eating she asks, "so a bit more shopping, or do you want to go swimming now?" ,hugging his right arm softly. He uses his left hand to rub his neck blushing and says, "I say we shop for a bit longer then around one or later head to the pool near here." She smiles and leads him to another store and they continue to shop, a bit under a hour later they are heading to the pool both blushing. Minutes after they get there both are changed and in the water, swimming as Izuku wears a pair of emerald green and sapphire shorts that almost look tie-dyed. Himiko is in a bikini that is red and purple, with a feather like design and the top looks almost like a tank top the bottom half having a skirt.
They spend a couple hours swimming while enjoying the weather and around four decide to call it a day, then heading for their homes. The next two months they spend preparing Himiko for the hero test at the school's as well as working out, with a few dates also. Even taking a full weekend off to go with Inko, the Bakugo's and Saraki on a date trip to a hot spring resort a week before Himiko's first exam. It was around two weeks before Izuku started his last year at middle school when the first letter arrived, she ended up being accepted to Shiketsu and UA. She decides to go for UA knowing that Izuku's big brother is a student there, also knowing Shiketsu doesn't allow for dating. Not wanting to give up her Izucuddles, even if it would only be for a few years, a couple weeks later she is headed to the school her bags packed. Izuku saw her off by joining her on the train and getting off at a station that was past his school wishing her luck and saying, "I love you." Heading towards his school he sees a sign for a nearby beach and says, "oh I didn't know that there was a beach near the school. I'll have to go check it out later today" ,then sends a text to Himiko about the beach saying, "this weekend let's go there."
His reply is a thumb up and a heart with the words, "sounds like a fun date, love you my Izubae see you before you know it." He spends the day wondering what the beach even looks like, picturing a pure beach with a few buildings spaced on it, also answering the teacher's question's for him. The final bell rings and before the teacher can even wish them a good evening Izuku is out the door and calling his mom while walking. He says, "I learned there is a beach not too far from my school and am heading there to check it out now, call me by 7 if you don't hear from me." There's a sigh from the other end of the call and then his mom says, "ok then be safe, call me when you are on the way home." Around ten minutes later Izuku is walking down a road and can hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach, interrupted by what sounds like metal. As well as two girls arguing, he recognizes the voices and says, "oh uh well I wondered why I recognized the beaches name" ,to himself.
Heading toward the beach he can see a big pile of metal and other refuse on the beach as one of the girls says, "dang it Mei, no! I may have agreed to sharing the beach with you but draw the line at that!" ,pointing out something resembling the beginnings of a forge nearby. Izuku looks at them and then says, "well why not, if she can make all this scrap into something useful I'd say it's worth it honestly." Mei looks at him and then says, "see he understands!" ,Kyoka is looking at him and about to say something biting before he says, "and if not it will be easier to move. I for one know someone who could move that truck one handed but would need it in scraps to do the same myself" ,she looks at the pile and says, "fair point. Ok who are you kid?" ,she asks which causes Izuku to smirk and say, "Izuku Midorya, and even though I'm a bit short am in my last year of middle school." Mei looks him over and then says, "hmmm you are a bit shorter than me but I can tell you work out a lot" ,walking over now. She starts to look him over and Kyoka is blushing having done the same but less intrusively, then Izuku says, "well of course I do. When you can't rely on a quirk to save your bacon the body and mind are the next best thing, especially when trying for the hero course at UA."
Kyoka looks at him like he grew a second head then says, "wait you don't have a quirk and still want to try being a hero despite that?" Izuku looks around and whispers, "n-not exactly, I have one just it's not really useful for fighting at all" ,then he starts to explain what he wants. Kyoka and Mei are looking at him, Kyoka asks, "well if you want to be a therapist why even bother trying to become a hero as well Izuku?" Mei chuckles and then says, "I can guess why and can't believe you don't get it Kyochan, sometimes the only way to save someone is to be a hero. I mean if Muroki had a therapist" ,only to get her mouth covered and a small sob coming from Kyoka, Mei tearing up also. Izuku says, "I might not know who that is but I'm sorry for your loss" ,bowing to them Kyoka lets Mei's mouth go and sighs softly. She then says, "it's something we don't really like to talk about with other people, she was my childhood friend and a fast friend of Mei's." Little did they know a teen named Shinso had been walking along the beach on the other side of the scrap pile and heard everything. A minute later they hear the sound of shoes on metal and a voice saying, "ow dang it" ,all three looking up as he comes over the hill.
Kyoka is glaring at him and before she can say anything he says, "help me to train for the hero course please Izuku I'll do anything." He is bowing his head and Izuku smirks pulling out three notebooks, one is black with Shinzo written on it, the second one gold with Mei's name, the last is purple and says Kyoka. Handing them over he says, "ok then Shinso, so glad I keep a notebook about people I might possibly meet in my backpack at all times." Mei is already looking through hers and she has an odd gleam in her eyes as she takes in the details written there, Shinso is as well. Kyoka isn't looking through hers but is reading Mei's over her shoulder and soon they get to a page that says, "Izuku's hero costume" ,and has a drawing. It looks like the suit is a dream catcher and there is a short description about a few support items he wants to use.
Mei looks the design over and says, "Kyoka I like this boy, he knows just how to get my creativity flowing" ,a small smile on her face. Kyoka says, "ok but no fighting over him if one or both of us falls in love with him" ,which makes Mei chuckle then say, "ok, but I think you will have better luck. You both have the same goal after all, to become a hero and help those in need" ,she is smiling as she says this and then hugs Kyoka. Izuku and Shinso are talking about how Shinso's brainwashing can be used to subjugate villains without hurting them, pedestrians, or cops. As well as some support items which would be a good idea for Shinso to learn how to use, this gets Mei to chime in and soon they are working together. Kyoka is helping by gathering small scraps of metal and pieces of stone to work on making the forge into something usable. Izuku is texting a few of his hero connections, to get the proper paperwork done so using it won't be illegal, as well as getting protective gear.
Shinso is gathering some of the metal that looks to be small enough to work with as is, and Mei is working on a pair of automatic bellows. Around 5 they finish getting things into something resembling an actual forge, and Mei says, "ok so I'd say that is a good start for the day. Izuku you said by this time next week we will have coal and wood, as well as a few crucible's for anything we have to melt. Right?" ,this makes Izuku nod and he says, "yeah also the paperwork for working here is being done, so we don't get in trouble." This makes Mei form a sweat drop and she says, "oh yeah good thinking Izuku, it wouldn't be fun to get arrested trying to help you three. Plus they would confiscate all my babies" ,they all relax against the wall planning what to do over the next couple weeks.
Finishing up the plan Kyoka and Mei leave just after Shinso, Izuku calls his mom and starts heading home, then calls Himiko. When she answers he says, "so that beach I found out about, well I just ran into Kyoka and Mei there" ,and tells her what happened. By the end she is practically squealing with glee and she asks, "hmmm so does this mean no beach date this weekend though?" Izuku says, "I wouldn't say no, but it's not exactly a romantic spot with all the metal and refuse" ,he hears her hum softly then a gasp. She says, "I know what we can do Izuku!" ,she then explains how she can help them out, and even get some exercise out of doing so. Izuku smiles and says, "oh woah I like that plan, very nice my Himi" ,taking a train home and talking with her to plan things out. When Izuku arrives at his stop he says, "ok my Himi I'll see you this weekend, love you" ,she says, "I love you too, see you soon."
The next few days he spends talking with Katsuki and getting him to come to the beach with him to introduce his friend to them. Katsuki doesn't go to the beach daily as he has other things to do in order to prepare for being a hero, but still goes three or four times a week. Saturday comes around and Izuku walks into the beach saying, "ok then Himiko is supposed to get here around ten" ,while smiling. There's sounds coming from the pile of metal and Izuku walks over and sees Kyoka using a metal pole to break up a rusty piece of metal. Mei is wearing a pair of leather gloves and she is gathering up the pieces and putting them into a container saying, "thank you Kyoka. So Izuku said he has a surprise for us today, any idea what it might be?" ,she asks and Kyoka says, "uh well it might be one of his hero friends. He did say how they had done the paperwork for us to forge the scrap and build a few things on the beach" ,before she spots him and Shinso. They spend the first hour working on separating any small scrap from the bigger pieces and soon Izuku hears, "Izubae I'm here!" Right before he gets hugged from behind, he chuckles and says, "hello there my Himi ok so this is Kyoka, Mei, and Shinso" ,introducing them.
While he is doing that Kyoka whispers, "Izubae" ,a hint of jealousy in her voice and then hears him say, "everyone this is Himiko Toga. She is my girlfriend and is in the hero course at UA, she came here to help us accomplish our goals, also to improve herself while helping us." Kyoka is sad at hearing that, but also realizes this is going to be a big help towards her and Shinso getting into the hero course. Looking over at Mei she can practically see the gears turning in her mind about support items as Himiko was talking about how her quirk works. They get to work like usual and Kyoka asks him when they are away from the others, "so how long have you and Toga been dating?" Izuku blushes and says, "first call her Himiko, she doesn't really like her last name, second it has been uh" ,counting on his fingers before saying, "over two years. She asked me out shortly after I turned twelve, so at this point it's close to two and a quarter years actually if I remember correctly."
While working on the dreams they have for the future over the next months Kyoka can't help but get a crush on Izuku during this time. She also wouldn't admit it out loud but has one on Himiko as well, her constant flirting not helping Kyoka deal with the feelings towards the two. One day around 5 months into this all she says, "Himiko can you please stop teasing me so much, I know you love Izuku. You flirting with me and Mei isn't very nice as you two seem very happy together" ,which causes Mei to ask, "what flirting do you mean?" Izuku smirks and then says, "she makes a good point my Himi, you don't want to give them the wrong idea after all" ,making Himiko start to pout. Then she says, "ok Izuku, I'll make it clear how my feelings are right now" ,this makes Izuku's eyes widen and he says, "wait you mean uh that?" Earning a nod from Himiko, a light blush on her face as she says, "Kyoka I like you as well, Izuku kept the details quiet but uh well..." She looks at him and whispers, "c-can you show them the first d-dream you showed me?" ,making him blush bright red.
Even as he is blushing he nods and says, "o-ok yeah I can show them, b-but only if they want to" ,Mei who is still a little confused steps closer. Kyoka who is blushing red asks, "w-why would we want to see this dream of y-yours?" ,Himiko whispers, "because it involves the two of you as well." Knowing how his quirk works they each touch his arm or in Himiko's case wrap her arms around his neck, a minute later they all see the scene. Mei is in a workshop and tinkering with a project when Kyoka comes in and practically drags her towards the bedroom, only to find Himiko and Izuku in a bed. By the end of it Kyoka is whispering, "oh my" ,and Mei is whispering, "ok then real babies and mechanical ones, I like the sound of that." Before anyone can say anything she pulls Izuku into a kiss and then says, "just know if you break our hearts having kids will be a pipe dream." Having seen Izuku and Himiko kissing as they entered the bedroom and even kissing him herself in the dream, this is causing Kyoka to blush more. She then says, "Mei you can't be serious, e-even if we l-love him why would we" ,only to be interrupted by a kiss from Mei who sighs. She then says, "because I love you too Kyoka, you have been there for me ever since Muroki passed away, and even before that as well. Things just sort of clicked while watching that dream, if you don't want me the same way I won't push you." Kyoka sighs and then says, "dang it I do like you three ok we can try to date each other, Mei you surprised me honestly. Crap, so uh how do we explain this to our parents?" ,Izuku chuckles and says, "uh with my mom it will be easy, or easier to explain."
He spends a little while explaining how his first and second quirk use happened as well as the conversation with his mom the next day. Including the details about them all being married and then says, "for now I say we take things slow and concentrate on our future goals." All three girls agree and they all decide on a few things, one group date a week on Sundays, individual dates whenever they have time. Also they can go on a date with more than one of their group if all parties agree on something, Shinso had left shortly before the entire conversation started. By the end of it they have decided to wait until after the school year ends to break the news to Kyoka and Mei's folks, but not Shinso. The next day he finds out and says, "I was wondering how long it would take for the proverbial dam to break, Kyoka had been blushing up a storm for weeks." This earns him a jack to the shoulder and Kyoka asks, "if you saw this coming why didn't you say anything?" ,he says, "because I wasn't sure. Plus it was funny to watch Himiko flirt with you" ,then shrugs as he starts to chuckle to himself while Kyoka is blushing.
Over the next couple months they spend time working out, making things, or going on dates, Shinso even going on a few as well. Some times it was just Izuku, one of his girlfriends, Shinso, and his girlfriend, but other times it was a group date with Bakugo joining them. Around two months before the school year ended they finish cleaning up the beach and have even made a little practice space. Using scrap metal and glass from the pile there is a workshop for Mei, a sparing space, and a place to work out with weights. Sitting on the sand beside the stairs Izuku says, "ah mmm that is a nice view, even better than what I imagined it would look like" ,Kyoka smiles. She then asks, "how much of that is due to the cute girls in bikinis, and how much is pride in knowing you helped to clean the place up?" Izuku blushes and then says, "o-oh about half and half honestly, though even if you girls were in workout outfits I'd still say half and half" ,winking at her.
As time went on they had grown closer, Izuku and Himiko learning that Kyoka and Mei's best friend had taken her own life around two years ago. The next few months they spent finishing up some projects they had as well as practicing for the hero course, or support course exams. As well as Kyoka and Mei meeting the group Izuku is working with to try and save the people he can, or to punish the deserving. They both agree to keep it a secret and Mei gets to work helping to improve the support items and other gear they are using.
Ok to pre-empt any "you totally had the clone idea in mind" comments, no the post about the vote has remained unchanged since I first posted it. The idea literally came to me as I was writing the scene where he got the text and replied to it from the group that went undercover. Also to pre-empt the "why would Mei be so bold, especially when she is clueless about love" she could feel her emotions in the dream vision. She is most likely some kind of autistic and that means "we" ,yes I'm one too, are prone to making snap decisions based on our gut. Oh and/or bottling up our emotions, then ignoring them till they just end up exploding over, she kinda did both at once I'd say in the scene where she kisses Kyoka. So I said it last chapter but damn if a lot didn't happen again in this one, by the way the clone, should Izuku run into her, if so same way as Eri, or no? If no who should run into her and how, she looks to be the same age as cannon Eri but will be more infantile due to the cloning and hormone treatment. Possible names for her also welcome either in the comments or in a PM everyone. Wanted to post this chapter on Valentine's Day but got a bit distracted, plus wasn't sure what to actually write for the chapter, still I think it turned out well. Anyway that's all for this chapter, y'all come back now y'hear?
