A large bloody knife tore through the air, splitting flesh and sending red spurts of blood spraying in all directions. The assailant's face was grinning madly, white teeth splattered red.

Izuku screamed unabashedly as the person tumbled to the ground, fatally wounded.

"Izu," Himiko softly whispered to the boy, drawing his attention from the horrifying images on the screen. Her cheeks puffed up in annoyance, making him blush, "I'm the one that's supposed to be scared!"

"S-Sorry! I told you I'm terrible with this kind of stuff," he admitted, blushing and rubbing the back of his head.

Himiko's large grin widened as she leaned into Izuku, wrapping her arms around one of his and pulling him closer. "Aww, it's fine! As long as I get to cuddle with you, I'm fine!"

Izuku looked down at the girl in mortification, "You do that all the time anyway."

"Yep! That's why I'm always smiling," to punctuate that, Himiko bared her teeth with half-lidded eyes and a full blush.

Izuku smiled down at the girl, blushing at her cute fanged grin and red flushed face. Izuku noticed Himiko almost always had a blush on her face. Oddly, it wasn't one of embarrassment, like most of Izuku's, but he just couldn't figure out what kind of blush it was. Not that it mattered; he had just never given much thought to one of the features that made her so cute.

"Hey, Izu," her low whisper right next to his ear made Izuku's spine tingle. "Wanna make out a little?"

Izuku, for his part, looked at Himiko very quickly, only now noticing they had taken the very back row seats, and not a single person was within at least five rows of them—no wonder the sly girl had chosen to sit so far back despite wanting to see the movie.

"W-W-What!" He half shouted, half-whispered back.

"Come ooooon Izu," she whined, getting very close and raising the armrest between them so she could spill into his lap. "Seeing all this fake blood is making me all hot and bothered for the real thing."

'I-I did say she could have any whenever she wanted,' Izuku grimaced, not realizing his own words would bite him in the butt so badly now.

Izuku looked down at his feet, averting his gaze from Himiko's before nodding, "O-okay, but don't g-get to out of h-hand."

"Alrighty!" The girl chirped, leaning her head towards Izuku's neck without hesitation.

He expected her to sink her teeth in, but the sharp sensation never came. Instead, a wet, feathery sensation met his senses. She was licking him!

'I can take b-biting in a place like this, but licking!?'

His skin broke out into goosebumps wherever her tongue made contact, her left hand slowly stroking his stomach and the other on his thigh rubbing him hardly helped.

"H-Himiko," Izuku panted as his hand went to stroke the girl's hair and the other to grip her hip, which had started grinding into him.

"Izuuuu," as she purred his nickname, he could swear there were hearts in her eyes, "you said my first name."

If Izuku was flustered before, it was nothing compared to the feeling of Himiko's soft lips meeting his skin and her fangs sinking into his shoulder. He didn't exactly know when, but his body had started responding to the girl's bites in a very embarrassing way. His now tight pants were very uncomfortable with Himiko basically in his lap.

'Don't think about One for All going down there! Don't think about One for All going down there! Don't think about One for All going down there!' He chanted in his head, trying not to sully the power All Might had given him. The thought of breaking his little buddy didn't help his nerves either.

Himiko paused as her hand on his thigh rose to touch the very center of his frantic attention, and this time, her face broke into a blush he knew was one of embarrassment.

"Izu," she whispered very seductively. The wide grin on her face was wiped away with a lust-filled bite of her bottom lip.

'Oh, crap! Oh, crap!'

All of his self-restraint went right out the window as he pulled Himiko to himself, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Himiko was normally the one to initiate most kisses, including all those with tongue. But Izuku couldn't help himself this time; her face was just way too cute.

The tongue war they usually had was nonexistent as Izuku had free reign in the girl's mouth, and he didn't waste this opportunity to explore every inch with gusto.

Izuku couldn't help but note every tiny detail about her mouth. From her small pink lips, the fangs that grazed against his tongue, and her soft, velvety tongue lazily twisting around his own. It was so maddening for him how great this felt.

"Ishu!" Himiko slurred, her legs trembling beneath him.

"Himiko," his assault on the girl's mouth was put on hold as he moved his lips to her neck, wanting to return the favor from earlier.

Her soft, sweet skin was amazing to run his tongue along; goosebumps rose on her flesh as he licked and sucked at the soft, supple skin on her neck. While he wouldn't normally do this, he knew it drove Himiko crazy, so gently, he sank his teeth into the girl's neck, biting only half as hard as she normally did.

This elicited a low moan from the girl that she muffled with her sweater, "Izu! I'm… I'm g-gonna!"

Her frantic wiggling against his crotch grew in rhythm before it stopped altogether, her legs wrapping painfully around one of his own. He could feel a small wet spot forming on his leg as she shuddered. Her fingers dug into the fabric of his shirt, and he could feel her nails scraping the flesh beneath.

As her shaking subsided, Izuku slowly released her neck, kissing the tender spot and making her give one last jolt.

Her legs slowly released their death grip on him, and her eyes were very watery as a small, shaky smile spread across her face. "Izu."

The quiet, loving way she had said his name was amazing, and so was the gentle kiss she gave him in return.

As his hormones died down and the situation had passed, he realized with a very red face what he'd just done to Himiko.

"I-I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" he fretted over the girl, hovering his hands over her face and not quite making contact.

The hazy-eyed pout she gave him made his worries evaporate. "It's fine. I felt really good just now. Have you ever done that before?"

"N-No! Of course not!"

The soft purr she gave made his spine stiffen. "Mmm, good. I've never done that either. I kind of want to do it to you," she whispered into his ear, almost making his brain explode.

Her hand that had been resting on his stomach now made its way down to the hem of his pants, brushing beneath the line of his boxers.

"M-Maybe we shouldn't do this here," Izuku gasped, squirming in his seat and looking around very nervously.

The little giggle she gave Izuku gave him pause at its evil nature, "You didn't exactly stop when you were making me stain my panties, Izu, and you told me not to get out of hand."

A small squeak escaped his lips, and a head-to-toe blush broke out as her hand sped down to his member. Her delicate fingers wrapped firmly around his shaft, slowly stroking it up and down.

Himiko showed Izuku no mercy as her lips started assaulting his neck with frantic kisses and bites that made him jump. Meanwhile, her hand continued slowly stroking him, up and down, up and down.

"H-Himko," he breathed out, panting, his hips involuntarily raising to meet the girl's strokes.

"Izuuuu," she whispered in his ear, nibbling on the lobe. Her gentle stroking began to quicken to meet his thrusts.

"Looks like all that endurance training paid off, Izu," she smiled at him through his blurry, lust-filled vision, "but I think this will get you."

Izuku was finding it very hard to understand what she meant up until her teeth sank into his shoulder, far harder than his own had into hers. The resulting sensation of her sucking blood made him shudder, his legs going weak, and no longer able to move.

"I-I'm g-gonna!"

Himiko released his shoulder, picking up the pace and moving close to his ear, "let it all out, Izu," she whispered huskily.

"Aaaaah," Izuku half sighed, half grunted, as he released all of his pent-up lust into Himiko's hand, which had covered the head of his penis, catching everything.

As his climax came and went, he could only pant, eyes drooping as Himiko stared him in the eyes. Her hand slowly retracted from his pants, making him blush at the sticky deposits that had come with it.

And then she did something that made his eyes widen, and his breath picked up again. She slowly and methodically began cleaning off her hand… with her tongue.

"H-Himiko d-don't do that!" He whispered, extremely red in the face but not tearing his gaze away.

As she gazed into Izuku's eyes, not stopping, she finally showed him her palm, clean of his fluids. Then she opened her mouth and pulled her cheek back with a finger, showing that her tongue was clean. Her fangs gleamed in the red light of the movie playing, now long forgotten by the pair.

"H-H-Himiko! W-W-Why did you-"

Her blush colored Himiko's toothy grin. "I wanted to taste you more, so I did. You wanna get out of here? This got a little boring compared to our fun."

"S-Sure," Izuku smiled when the girl took his hands, leading him out of the nearly empty movie theatre.

The pair quickly ran down the street, making a straight line for Izuku's house. The sun had set hours ago, and their hurried pace narrowed their situational awareness. So much so that Himiko barely had time to step to the side, causing the small white body she'd noticed to slam head-first into Izuku's crotch, making him double over in pain.

"W-W-What the heck?" Izuku wheezed, looking at the source of his testicular assault. What he found made his heart stop.

A small girl with a single small horn and white unkempt hair looked up at Izuku with fear so intense he nearly mistook her for a frightened animal. A copious amount of bandages covered her arms and legs. Her only clothing was a ragged and dirty dress that may have once been white.

"Are you okay," Izuku asked her, all traces of his stutter gone and his natural protectiveness kicking in.

The girl shook her head frantically, crushing her head against Izuku's chest, wiping her tear-streaked face into his shirt. If it had been any other time of day, Izuku might have thought the girl had just been separated from her parents, but it was way too late in the day for a girl to be out on her own. Any parent wouldn't have let her run off into the night.

"Eri," a gruff, annoyed voice said, emerging from the shadows of an alleyway. "What are you doing? Stop bothering those kids. Can't you see they're on a date?"

The little girl's body tensed under Izuku's loose hug, making him start to sweat very heavily.

"Sorry, she seems a little scared," Izuku smiled nervously at the man, trying to gauge his reaction. "Is she your daughter?"

Now that he had caught a good look at the man, he could see that he was a towering, muscular man with a clean-shaven head.

The man's hesitation before speaking said more than words could. "Y-Yeah, we were playing a game, and she ran off without me. Come back over here, Eri."

A small whisper met Izuku's ear, and he strained to hear the girl's small whisper, "he's not my daddy."

The voice the small girl let out was trembling and filled with fear.

Izuku froze, trying not to snarl, fearing he would scare the girl, "she's not going anywhere."

The murderous look Himiko gave the man made him back up for a moment before he smirked at the pair and stepped back toward them.

"I don't know what you kids think you're doing, but I'm gonna beat the shit outta your boyfriend, then have some fun with you when I'm done," the bald man began unbuttoning his shirt, shining crystals sprouting from his skin and forming makeshift armor on his arms, back, and head.

"The fuck you are!" Izuku's uncharacteristic shout made Himiko's eyes turn to him, "Himiko, watch this little girl."

Himiko sent him a frown of worry, "Izu, what are you gonna do? You don't have a quirk," she said, very worried but smart enough to keep her voice down so the bald man couldn't hear her.

"Don't worry, this guy doesn't stand a chance against me. Just make sure she's alright," Izuku looked at the little girl, giving her a soft smile that made her shaking stop, and her eyes started to sparkle with wonder.

"You got a real set of balls on you, kid; it makes sense though you don't wanna look like a bitch in front of your girl. But I'm gonna tell you now, kid; you ain't gonna leave even a scratch on me."

Izuku suppressed the urge to run at this guy and kick him full force with One for All. He wouldn't be of any use to Himiko and the girl if he were down a leg, though. He didn't even know if a full shot of All Might's quirk could K.O. this guy.

'Wait! That's it! All Might!' As Izuku approached the villain, he turned slightly to the side to reach into his back pocket unnoticed. As he unlocked his phone, he quickly tapped the screen where he hoped the contact list was. If his memory served him well, then he needed to press… there! A light ringing met his ears before he stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

'I've gotta do something in the meantime, though, but I can't just put all my power in one arm or leg again that would just shatter it, and then I'd be down a limb. Wait, one limb? What if I send One for All into all my limbs? Not just for an instant, but what if I kept up the wattage? I've gotta visualize the egg cooking in the microwave and not bursting!'

As the power of One for All flooded his limbs, he could feel his muscles trying to unravel every time he flexed even a fraction.

'Less power!'

His vibrating muscles began to settle, tense as steel cords, but no longer in danger of snapping, 'got it! Now I just gotta hold this, and I should be alright.'

"What's the matter, kid? Gonna piss yourself, you're shaking like a leaf over there," the man goaded, smirking at Izuku," I don't blame ya; I'm about to turn you into a red paste and fuck your girlfriend over there."

The intense glare Izuku sent the man unsettled him; the energy running through Izuku's body made his green eyes glow with power in the darkness of the night.

"I'm not shaking 'cause I'm scared; I'm shaking because I'm brimming with power and about to cave your face in," Izuku snarled, stepping one foot forward and then tensing in preparation.

'I'm gonna be fast! I've got to account for that. Otherwise, I'll overshoot him and lose my element of surprise. '

Izuku's taught leg muscles sprang him forward, rocketing at a pace no one but him had expected. As he approached the stunned man, he quickly noted how his crystals couldn't completely cover his face either because they couldn't or because he wouldn't be able to see if they did. Shrugging, Izuku didn't care; either way, it made a perfect target.

"SMASH!" Izuku yelled, sending a sideways kick to the side of the man's head. The guy's feet left the ground and slammed face-first into the wall beside him.

Izuku quickly retreated to Himiko and the little girl's side, eyes never leaving where he had sent the villain flying.

A powerful but soft set of hands gripped the sides of Izuku's face, yanking him to look into Himiko's eyes, "What was that, Izu? I thought you didn't have a quirk."

His girlfriend's tone sent shivers down his spine at the ire it held," I-I have a good explanation."

The intense stare she gave him did not allow room for lies. "You better, Izu."

He nodded at the girl, pulling his phone from his pocket, the call having since disconnected. All Might had tried over a dozen times to contact Izuku again, but he couldn't answer while kicking the villain through a wall. Now Izuku sent All Might their GPS location, hoping he could arrive soon.

"The fuck was that kid," Izuku froze, hearing the villain shifting rubble underfoot, exiting the hole he'd been sent through, and spitting out a couple of bloody lumps, "you got some power! Even broke a couple of teeth!"

'Crap, that didn't knock him out?'

"Don't worry, this next one will put you out for sure," Izuku yelled, dashing back toward the man, but he didn't have the element of surprise this time, and the man quickly grew crystals along his arm, swinging the sword-like appendage at Izuku.

A quick backflip helped Izuku avoid the deadly ark of the weapon, which made him pant, his veins pumping full of adrenaline.

'I've gotta get in close again, but that's easier said than done. That sword arm of his is gonna keep me at a distance. Thinking logically though, this isn't a situation to win necessarily, but to hold him off long enough for All Might to get here?'

A determined smile came to Izuku's face, making the villain grind his teeth in annoyance.

"The fuck are you smirking about, asshole!"

"Nothing really, just the thought of how funny you'll look knocked out in a smoking crater here in a few seconds."

That seemed to piss the guy off because he quickly threw all caution to the wind, charging Izuku and enlarging his sword into a massive crystal fist, "I'm gonna flatten you, you little shit!"

Izuku waited until the last possible moment when the fist was just overhead, and then he sprang to the side, letting it impact the ground with incredible force. As the villain started to lift the appendage from the ground, Izuku rushed at him, intending to send the villain through another wall.

"Izu! Jump back!" Himiko yelled, warning him of something.

Izuku wasted no time jumping backward, but even despite his instant response, a single spike of crystal pierced his shoulder, sending a lance of pain through his arm.

"Ha, gotcha, you little shit, all you're jumping around and yapping really started pissing me off! So I hope it fuckin hurts!"

Izuku's backward leap had brought him very close to Himiko and the girl she had been protecting. "Are you okay, Izu?" Himiko asked, very worried, making Izuku sigh happily.

'At least she's not completely pissed at me.'

"I think I'm gonna kill you now, kid." The villain gloated, trudging toward Izuku and readying another attack. This time, he seemed to be winding up for something powerful.

Jumping into the air, the man's shoes burst open as crystal propelled him further so that he could angle himself to come crashing down on Izuku with a fist five sizes larger than the last.

'This is bad! I'm going to have to sacrifice an arm to blow him away,' Izuku thought, power flaring in his right arm, the sheer force of his muscles flexing ripped the sleeve of his hoodie.

"Manchester Smaaaaaash," yelled the familiar voice of All Might as he let a hard downward blow slam into the back of the villain's skull, sending him into unconsciousness at the bottom of a crater.

Izuku let the crackling energy of One for All dissipate from his muscles so that he didn't feel like his entire body was screaming at him anymore.

"T-Thanks so much for coming, All Might," Izuku sighed happily, stumbling back, about to fall into a dead faint.

A warm pair of small hands wrapped around Izuku's stomach, gently lowering him to lay his head on her lap. Himiko whispered gently into his ear, "I've got you, Izu."

"Young Toga, is he quite alright?"

Izuku could feel his girlfriend nod from above him, "I think so. He's just exhausted from using… his quirk."

"S-Sorry, I didn't tell you," he croaked, feeling his neck muscles pulse from the strain they had been under.

A single droplet landed on Izuku's face, causing him to flinch in wonder. Himiko was crying. He'd only seen this sight once, and they had been very young back then.

"W-Why didn't y-you tell m-me? Didn't you t-trust me?" She asked, sobbing, her fangs biting so hard into her bottom lip she had drawn blood.

Reaching an aching hand up to wipe the tears from her face, Izuku shook his head, crying with her, "I-I'm so s-sorry Himiko, I w-wanted to tell you b-but I had to keep my promise with A-All Might."

"He's telling the truth, I'm afraid," All Might sighed, walking over to the couple as they cried their eyes out to one another, "I swore him to secrecy; even his mother doesn't know about it."

"What? Why? Why did you make him keep his quirk a secret?"

All Might's gaze met with Izuku's. He tried to silently convey his emotions so that All Might understood.

Thankfully, the pro hero had seemed to understand, nodding to his successor, "I trust your judgment, my boy! I'll give you two some time while I call my friend in the police force to come by and see about that girl."

Izuku jolted for a moment, remembering why the fight had started. He looked for the girl, quickly seeing that she was buried face-first into his shirt as he lay against Himiko. He ran a soft hand through the girl's long white hair, smiling.

"Where should I start?" Izuku asked softly, gazing at his crying girlfriend.

"J-Just start from the beginning," Himiko cried, gripping his shirt as if scared he would vanish.

And so he did. Izuku reminded her how, after the sludge villain's attack, he had been visited by All Might, but instead of simply offering to train Izuku, he had told him he could inherit All Might's quirk. Then, about the subsequent need for his strength training so that his body wouldn't just explode from the uncontrollable force when he took in the quirk. And then how All Might had warned him against the danger of announcing to the world that a quirk like One for All could be passed on.

"If it's so dangerous to tell people, why didn't you just lie, dummy," Himiko asked, looking at him incredulously. "You could've just said All Might's training had been to draw out your quirk that you'd suppressed your whole life or something."

"I don't want to lie to you, Himiko," Izuku said, tears rising to his eyes. "You're really important to me, and I don't want you to ever leave."

Her quavering lips and sparkling eyes made Izuku's breath catch in his throat. "You dummy," she cried harder, bending down to kiss the boy, tears rolling down her cheeks only to spill over onto Izuku's.

Once she pulled away from him, Izuku looked up at the girl, her fangs peeking out from her soft lips, "I love you."

Izuku sighed, running his thumb along her cheek.

"W-What," the girl squeaked, very shocked by Izuku's declaration.

"I-I-I said I l-love you, H-Himiko," Izuku shouted, even more conviction in his eyes than before.

"You dummy!" Himiko shouted lightly, rapping her knuckles across Izuku's head in embarrassment. But then she let her hands rest on either side of his face, stroking the freckled skin, "I love you too."

The kiss they shared after admitting that simple fact to one another had felt simply amazing in that moment. And then All Might coughed, startling the two.

"I hate to interrupt, but we've gotta meet Tsukauchi at your apartment, young Midoriya. The police are waiting there, and I think we'd better get going while this guy's still unconscious so I can carry him."

"R-Right," Izuku stuttered, his face red at the thought All Might had heard his declaration of love to Himiko. The little girl sleeping on his chest never stirred as he stood to his feet, carrying her back to the apartment.
