Genderbends More Of Your Trains

SUMMARY: Jirou and Denki's likes are far and between. Jirou likes Denki and Denki likes Jirou anyway. A/N: I was listening to Wild Side by ALI when I thought of them and you should too. (Actual a/n: It was so fun imagining all of this! I based them off some actual events between me and my friends. The homeless one is an actual thing my best friend and I do lmao, sit outside the mall's store and eat while our gang illegally take our photos and call us beggars) WARNINGS: Some mild swearing and a lot of probable inaccuracies for the sake of the plot and because I haven't finished MHA yet

It is wonderful my life

Jirou likes the name Jamming Whey and Denki likes the name Jirou-Jack.

Obviously the both of them detest the nickname the other’s given, or so everyone thought, based on the poking from Jirou’s end and dramatic sighing from Denki’s. Not that it stopped them from calling each other that at all opportunities. It was endearing to watch to the class; it was a trifle odd for the Bakusquad, for when they tried to use it…

“Um, what?”

“Sorry bro, but that ain’t for you to use!”

Mina thinks it’s funny, how it’s like a codename for only each other. Suspiciously so.

Please could you kiss my name

This round’s exercise of heroes versus villains is different.

The villains were Todoroki and Momo, so Jirou and Denki would have to play it smart to win. Inside the building it had seemed like a good idea at that time to split up. Now, not so much, when Jirou found herself stuck in Todoroki’s ice as he handed her the device Aizawa had given them to stay in contact with each other. Momo, no doubt, was nearby to catch her partner unaware.

“Call Kaminari to come out.”

“…Denki, the bomb’s in the room down the hall. The door to the left.”

But then suddenly it’s Momo and Todoroki on the floor, shocked by Chargebolt’s electrical attack. Jirou breaks out of the rest of the partially melted ice herself and grudgingly slaps her partner’s hand when he raises it, hopeful for a high-five.

Todoroki twists his head around, surprise evident on his face. “How’d you know it was as trap? Jirou didn’t say anything suspicious.”

Denki bursts out laughing smugly. “She’d never call me Denki willingly - it’s always Jamming Whey…” his shoulders slump. “Unfortunately. But anyways, we won, Jirou-Jack!”

“Shut up.”

Momo wonders if that day was when Jirou finally accepted the nickname, because for once she didn’t object to it.

Todoroki admires how in sync they are.

When the music's over?

Jirou likes rock and Denki likes electronic.

They argue about it a lot. The usual which is better, yours make no sense, it's much more superior that whatever you call that music. Sometimes during study nights the books and work are forgotten, pushed aside, to make way for their heated debate. Their friends roll their eyes and ignore them; it's almost a ritualistic thing at this point.

Only Mina thinks there's something more to it - to the rest the noise just dies down when one of them whips out their phone and forces the other to listen to their music. So what if they were sitting really close to each other and occasionally lean their heads on the other's shoulder? They're sharing an earbud after all, and the wire required them to be close.

(They're sulking, the rest think, because they see the eyerolls and shoulder shoves.)

(They're in denial, Mina thinks, because she sees them smile at the same moment when it hits the chorus and hum together.)

Turn off light, it was such a sweet time

Momo thinks she’s come up with a solution.

Jirou and Denki stare at her blankly, bewildered by her sudden excited announcement that study night. She says she’s heard them arguing about what music to choose a lot; Jirou replies they do it all the time and Denki adds that it’s normal. Momo nods but repeats what she says. She hands them both her phone.

“Jazz? Yaomomo - what?”

“I thought you were the sort to listen to classical shit. This ain’t my type!”

“No one cares about your opinion right now, Jamming Whey.”

“No, no, I just thought that if the two of you can’t agree on either one of your genres you’d like to try a third option. A compromise, sort of.” Momo smiles, believing she’s provided a resolution to their squabbling. Jirou’s not, though she tries to - she’s going to miss -

“What’s with that face, Jirou-Jack?”

“Don’t elbow me!”

“We can still share earbuds…or you could just plug your jacks into my phone.”

Jirou smiles, but it’s with an eyeroll as Momo looks hopefully on. Denki plays Momo’s choice, holding the phone uncomfortably close to her face like a kid showing off his crayon drawing to his mom. “I’m still choosing which one though!”

They still argue over the music, unsurprisingly. They’re openly sharing the earbuds now, surprisingly.

Could you pray for me, my friend?

Jirou likes movie night and Denki likes the popcorn.

Most of Class 1-A is already gathered in front of the TV, sprawled on the sofas or lying on the ground. She’s a little way from him, squashed between Momo and Mina. Denki pretends he’s not staring at her when his neighbor Kirishima points it out and Bakugo explodes telling them to just pick a movie already. Most of them vote for horror.

Jirou gets up. Strange, because he knows she likes movie nights. Then he remembers, she doesn’t like horror, but her pride wouldn’t allow others to know. Denki himself wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t deduced it by her actions over time and gotten her to admit it. Her friends attempt to persuade her to stay, but she feigns tiredness.

“Why don’t we watch something else? We’ve already watched this movie like what, three times already? Boo, we literally all know what’s going to happen!”

Of course he gets pummeled by the pillows but after a little more convincing they agree to change it. He claims he needs to use the bathroom and runs out.

It's starting over time

Jirou’s not yet to her room.

He catches up and makes her turn around, ask why she left, tries to wheedle her to stay. Denki already knows her so well, so Jirou says she doesn’t like the movie. But he’s convinced them to change it, something he think she’ll like, so reluctantly she follows him back. It’s really hard to say no to Denki sometimes, Jirou thinks, then sighs as she remembers that no, it’s actually ALL the time.

They get back and find their seats been taken. No matter, he shoos a few legs away from the ground near the couch and practically forces Jirou to sit next to him. The movie’s a murder mystery; Denki worries the gory parts might affect Jirou. Unconsciously an arm slips around her shoulders and maybe he shifts a little closer. But Jirou feels it. An eyebrow is raised and Denki jerks his head back to avoid the earphone jack, tilting his head back with a protesting look.

“Get your arm off me.”

“If you get scared-”

“If you try anything, Kaminari, I'll poke your eyeballs.”

“I wasn't!”

But they end up cuddling anyway; Sero helpfully throws a blanket over them because that’s what happens every movie night, somehow.

Taking overnight

Jirou likes to sleep and Denki likes distracting himself.

It takes his mind off the fact it’s nearly 1 a.m. and if he lies down on his bed he’ll just overthink everything and probably count down how much hours of sleep he’s losing and he’s going to be so sleep deprived and tired tomorrow and then he’ll get scolded by Aizawa for not paying attention in class and be stupider than he already is and he wishes he could close his eyes and why is it so cold in the room, all his senses feel waaay too alert and man does he want some ramen-

He tries a few other things like finishing some homework or reading but his eyes don’t feel like they’re working right. Or rather they are, but everything is blurring together. Denki leans back, listens to some music and scrolls on his phone. A bad distraction but a distraction nonetheless.

But now he can’t keep his mind off wondering if he could text Jirou and just…dunno, talk? Gossip? Ask her if she wanted to get instant ramen with him? Probably because one of her songs somehow crawled their way into his playlist right now.

She’d probably yell at him for waking her up and order him to go make ramen himself. The thought seems funny to him, but then again everything is funny at night. He opens up her chat because insomniac + a-need-for-company = no self control.

(Somewhere in the back of his mind he wonders why Jirou is the first one he thinks of.)

>>hey you up?????

>>can’t sleep 💀💀

>>would anyone be mad at me if i got up right now to make ramen

>>kinda want a juicebox or something lmaoo

>>CANNOT MATH RIGHT NOW 😩😭🥴

>>sorry to wake you

Denki throws the phone to his bed after deleting everything but the last message.

Taking over blue time

He’s in the midst of actually going out to get that juicebox when there’s knocking at the door.

Denki throws open the door, electricity at the ready in case a ghost really existed and was paying a visit to all those naughty little boys who aren’t abiding by bedtime.

It's Jirou, actually, who's paying a visit.

“…hi?” His brain and mouth feels numb but he attempts to be normal. “What, couldn't sleep until you saw my handsome face?”

Jirou's face gets more annoyed and disbelieving that she was even here in the first place. “A face that's about to be punched.”

“Aw, you do miss me~” Denki yanks her inside, unable to stop his grinning. He slams the door shut. “But seriously, why’re you here?”

“Just because you deleted the text doesn’t mean I didn’t see it.”

“…oh, yeah…about that.” Denki awkwardly scratches his neck. “We don’t gotta get the ramen or anything. I’m just having trouble sleeping then.”

Perhaps not so much now, when he suddenly found his eyes about to close themselves while his head was tucked under Jirou’s and his arms looped around hers, both somewhere in the stacks of blankets and pillows and plushies lying on Denki’s bed.

“Not a word, Kaminari.”

Not that he could manage one, finally dozing off with her.

(It’s a little hard to explain to Kirishima the next morning why Jirou’s plushy is on his bed.)

If you heard that screaming, shout in your mind

Jirou likes fries and Denki likes hamburgers.

There’s not really anything to argue about for this one but they do anyway, comparing which fast food chain was better. Usually it winds up with Denki defending his honor while Jirou pokes fun at how his big mouth came about by having to stretch it to fit all his beloved burgers. Nothing different this time round as Class 1-A heads out to another shopping trip together.

Denki doesn’t want to go into the stupid store. He’s hungry. Jirou snorts and says he won’t die of starvation like he says. He whines about craving a greasy, fat hamburger. Jirou elbows him; he lingers outside the store, at the window, declaring he was going to stay outside until they could eat and if they find his corpse lying out there it was because they wouldn’t let him have lunch. Tokoyami helpfully points out that it’s still morning.

He stays out there regardless, ignoring the scoffs and snickers from a certain someone that he looked like a homeless tramp.

A very hungry tramp, Denki argues. I want a hamburger. Maybe a soda.

Taking over the shine

“Hey.”

“What…aw, hey, you got me a burger! I’m saved!” Denki eagerly peels back the wrappings, taking a huge bite and beaming at Jirou, who’s plopped down next to him. She points out the lettuce in his teeth and sips her drink, holding her own burger.

“I didn’t see you come out of the store?”

“There’s another exit at the back. Passed by a restaurant and well, you said you were hungry and I didn’t want you complaining anymore.”

“Didn’t you say I looked like a homeless tramp sitting out here?”

“…now there’s two homeless tramps.”

Denki bursts out laughing and Jirou scolds him for spraying out hamburger. You never heard me say that, she says, and Denki stores it away in his memory as he takes the drink from her proffered hand. Jirou unwraps her burger and makes a face. “This better be as good as you say.”

(Later the Bakusquad catch them feeding each other fries; Jirou complains Denki opened the wrong packet of sauce.)

Taking over the shooting star

Jirou likes the solitude and Denki likes socialising.

Which is why despite the numerous asks from her friends if she needed them Jirou declined, preferring to spend her quarantine from the flu in her own room by herself. It wasn’t too bad - she could just do whatever she wanted in bed: scroll on her phone, practice a little music, catch up on assignments…if it weren’t so damned COLD.

She’s already sneezed about a bajillion times already and the bin’s full from tissues. No matter how many layers of blankets she was trying to burrow under she just wouldn’t heat up. Maybe her tolerance for the freeze had just lowered after hanging out with Kaminari - the man was quite literally a walking electrical heater.

Speaking of Kaminari, Jirou just might have to borrow Bakugo’s nickname of Dunceface for him, because who the hell gave him permission to barge into her room like that?!

Jirou throws a plushy at him. “Get out.”

“I’m not here to pass you your homework though…you know I don’t even understand any of it myself.” Nobody asked but he plops down next to her. “I heard you were sick!”

“Less sick and more of in danger in getting frostbite,” Jirou grumbles, hugging herself and shivering.

So of course he just hauls her ass to the door and basically kidnaps her to the kotatsu.

All I was talking about was music

“Better?”

“Maybe.”

Denki smirks and pulls her closer. She doesn’t even bother fighting it, finally warming up from the combination of the kotatsu and him. Probably the stifling three thousand blankets Denki piled on them as well. At least he had the decency to kidnap her rabbit plushy as well; he paired it up with his worn, dumb Pikachu one. The one where she had won for him at an arcade to get him to stop his sulking. Hah.

“Let’s play music! My turn to pick!”

“I’m the sick one, Jamming Whey.”

“It’s my phone!”

“You’re literally borrowing-”

They both rolled around for a while before someone’s elbow, finger, knee, something touched the screen sufficiently for the phone to recognize the command and start playing. Start playing Momo’s music choice, specifically. Jirou sighs and Denki shrugs. They let it play and huddle under Mount Blanket. The plushies are kidnapped inside.

“Warm enough yet?”

“Yeah.”

(And that's called jazz!)

I have a theory/headcanon that he and Dark Shadow represent Huginn and Muninn, or Odin's ravens Thought and Memory, or that Dark Shadow is like a Valkyrie, either way, he is such a Norse buff.

fun fact: baldur's death is one of the signs of the coming of ragnarok

both are fumikage's move names (i think he likes norse mythology?)

Top spot taken I ain't beating him, I'm not even in second 10th at best.

when I'm in a Kyoka Jirou's biggest supporter competition but the class-A blond guy with an electrification quirk is already there

1-A Pokémon List, just the updates.

After getting some inspiration I've added more mon's to their teams, so you'll just get the ones that have been updated, or have had a few lore extras added.

Mineta

Gulpin- A squidgy guy, and he’s just neat

Froakie-  Bit of an odd choice but considering it’s Frubbles basically being the same sort of idea as his balls, rather a no brainer, also the thought of a Greninja smacking him with it's tongue to remind him that just because Tsu isn't there doesn't mean he can't get smacked.

Wanted to included a drawing Pokémon like Smeargle or Shroodle to tie into his surprising drawing skills but didn't, big sad.

Midoriya

Skidoo- Yes, I say this one is also perfect for him plus I like the idea that when it evolves it becomes his sort of main partner Pokémon as teacher helping him get to scenes or watching over his students, not a slouch in the battle department but isn’t meant to be the big guns.

I original came up with a bit of the Teams and idea after a comment on Wally's Masters theme noted the similarities between the two, I might have to try drawing or editing him into Wally's jumper. Also the Gogoat as a teacher would give him Ramos vibes, which I quite like.

Aoyama

Staryu- How I didn’t include this the first time round is a crime, like that is a Pokemon he would have distinctly odd with the star motif and yes, just yes

Mimikyu- An inversion of Izuku’s Eevee, an imposter, not belonging, being controlled by a shadowy being, works well from my view. 

Funny thing is that Yuga might have one of the most balanced teams, Normal, Grass, Water/Psychic, Ghost/Fairy, like that is a good team in my options, you know that two of those have Dazzling Gleam.

Bakugou

Mankey- This man is too angry to die and when he does he comes right back, yeah you get the angry Monkey with the hair that looks like yours, you are getting an Annihilape you crazy bastard.

Katsuki gives of the intense vibes of someone who would do a playthrough with one Pokémon he over leveled, but he has to have an HM slave, or he got Really Angry not being able to beat Whitney and got himself a fighting type, which works honestly, plus I mean it's basically him as a Pokémon.

Ashido

Nidoran F- Pretty fun idea from @buffalobleucheez because yes, she should get the poison queen Pokémon, it just thematically works.

Had an expedition with Urakaka to get themselves Moon Stones, came back at around 11PM covered in dust and grime grinning like an idiot, turns out that had gotten into a fight with several Onyx.

Updated Bio, Yaoyorozu

Ralts- Perfect pick right off the bat the elegance and physic power would be a big plus for her, she'd show them the utmost kindness and care, also doesn’t become a Garevoir, no that is a Gallade, Female one at that, don’t screw with the swords.

Todoroki

Ponyta- Galarian as well, I just think it would be fun to reference the Fantasy AU in a way, also let him have a magical girl mon, he earned it!

And a Bonus.

Tetsutetsu

Rockruff- His is the exact same reasoning as Kiri, but his evolves into Day form to contrast.

Beldum- He is also meant to contrast being the other Pseudo legendary from Hoen, it only has Take Down, recklessly charging into combat even when it would hurt him, and due to its evolution, it is technically Four Beldums, in reference to his name being Tetsu repeated four times.

Did want to get a little clever, and have him be a bit of a mirror to Kiri, and Beldum happened to work perfectly like goddam I hadn't even considering the parallels until like 20 minutes ago, no I haven't worked out the rest of 1-B's teams I haven't really got a good gauge on a lot of them yet, but I will in due course, after some reading.

The original post the list is updated from, have a read at tell me some thoughts.

This is the sort of Intelligence Denki has, writing and solving weird problems.

we can fix Shakespeare

mhhh funky

Pokémon but I once again badly edited Onion Headlines onto it

Part 1, Part 3

They have cowls.

I'll be real with guys, I think Izuku has more in common with Terry McGinnis than Peter Parker.

Both are from a future time period, Peter is often depicted in the present.

Both when out of there way to become heroes, Peter did it because of circumstance. There was no-one telling the two to fight for Dana or Katsuki, they just did it because they were in danger and acted as such.

Both gained their tech and abilities after impressing their soon to be mentors, both former heroes, Peter was solo and had no one else to train him.

They both managed to bring some substance and light to said mentors lives, again Peter never got to do that.

Due to both having mentors they weren't behind their backs to do what they felt was right, Izuku at Kamino and Terry in his first ever outing as Batman. Peter never had a mentor to really disobey.

Another thing is who they are as people, neither of them are the hyper genius that is Pete, they are both are intelligent but not quite to the levels of their peer, but both Izuku and Terry have hearts of gold and wealth's of compassion, not to say that Peter doesn't, he's been under the limbo bar of hell enough times to empathise with just about anyone.

And at the end of it all, the two were able to defeat the mentors arch rival.

They are perfect Legacy heroes, both with weird father like relationships with their mentors.

Whilst Terry got his wits from Peter and Izuku his powers, both really are just convergent versions of each other differing in environment, and well quip usage, both distinctly have traits from Spidey, but both are distinct characters in there own right.

I just find it intreasting how much these two have in common, it doesn't even really seem like Izuku was meant to be like Terry, he was always modeled on Peter it was just a happy coincidence that the two became so alike, hell their costumes are even kind of similar with the cowl with long ass ears, and the new Omega Suit is pretty much identical in concept to the Beyond Suit.

Put the current abilities back on par with the previous ones.

Yeah you can be dumb, but are you so dumb that it's imortalised as an incorrect text post?

Fun fact I have told maybe 20 people this story, none of whom are my parents.

use critical thinking skills

Could you imagen the, what the fuck?! moment when Creati, the hero know for spawning things into existence, pulls a knife out of her belt, like she didn't make that, she had it on her, she is using a pre-made knife to kill you, you have gotten to the point where she doesn't really want to think and just wants to beat your arse, well done random villain.

Momo stopped thinking.

Villain: "Ha, you seem to have out of juice Tenya, not so fast now, let's put you in the same place as your brother, in the hospital!"

Ida: "Call an ambulance then, but specify that it's for you." He says pulling two large knifes that look suspiciously like ice skates from the side of his boots.

Enemy: "What the fuck is stabbing me, oh god is that a floating knife! AM I BEING KILLED BY A GHOST?!"

Toru: "Worse, a naked woman with a knife!"

Enemy: "WHERE WERE YOU HIDING THE KNIFE!?"

I like to think that one of the lessons Aizawa taught class A is "always have a knife".

You never know when you'll need a knife so never not be in possession of a knife. As such every member of class A has a knife hidden somewhere in their hero costumes. His gift to them when they graduated were custom engraved knives with their student number on them.

Not on board? Ok. Just imagine how funny it would be tho.

Villain: "Number one hero Deku! I am punch proof! The more you hit me the stronger I get! How will you defeat me now-"

Midoriya: "Knife."

Villain: "Wha-" *gets stabbed*

Midoriya: "Knife."

Hero: "Oh no! We're tied up! However will we escape!"

Tsuyu: "Knife."

Hero: "What?"

Tsuyu, pulling a knife off the bottom of her foot with her tongue: "Knife."

Groupie getting a hug: "Are you using your quirk or are you just happy to see me?"

Kirishima: "It's a knife."

Groupie: "...What?"

Kirishima: "Knife."

Villain, completely insulated in rubber: "You're a one trick pony chargebolt."

Kaminari, reaching down into his boot: "Oh boy are you wrong my dude!"

Hero: "You need to calm down."

Bakugou, reaching down into his V-neck: "Listen here you son of a BITCH-"

Hero: "WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE!?"

Kouda: "Stop scaring the pigeons! They're a domesticated species that we abandoned back into the wild. They're sweet creatures who are pets by nature!"

Douchebag: "Or what?"

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "..."

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "oh my GOD HE HAS A KNIFE-"

"That wasn't very Great Western of you"

"I want out of here as soon as possible"

Headcanon that Duck has said "That's not very Great Western of you" as a genuine expression of disappointment. On multiple occasions.
