*Most 1-A, excluding Midoriya, are in the common room*
*Mina storms in, drawing everyone's attention.*
Mina: Who here has had a crush on Deku?
Bakugo: What the fu-
*Todoroki, Aoyama, Denki, Kirishima, Iida, Sero, Jiro, Hagakure, Ojiro, Tokoyami, Shinso, Uraraka and Koda raise their hands*
Bakugo: Fucking Deku? That loser?
Denki: Loser? He could probably punch god if he wanted to.
Todoroki: I've seen him crush a watermelon with his thighs.
Sero: He's the nicest guy ever.
Shinso: He has like, the purest intentions. Also his smile.
Jiro: Biceps.
Hagakure: Don't get me started on those hands...
Uraraka: Ugh, and that look he gets when he's determined
Iida: His loyalty is admirable enough. He's also taken a knife for me.
Tokoyami: He'd take one for any of us.
Koda *signing*: He's good with animals.
Ojiro: And little kids.
Aoyama: And have you seen his....everything, mon ami est presque parfait
Momo: I think if I ever had to date a man, it'd be Midoriya. He's respectful.
Asui: Same
Kirishima: Bakubro you've known him the longest, there's no way you've never had a crush on him.
Bakugo *blushing*: shut the fuck up!
*Mina nods, smiling.*
Mina: Told you, Mido.
Midoriya *who'd been hiding in the halls after arguing with Mina that he's too much of a loser to be liked*: I think I'm going to pass out.
Relationships were hard. Midoriya knew that the moment he was born. His father was absent before Midoriya was old enough to form a memory he could recollect of the man. Midoriya had a bad start, to say the least. He never gave up hope when it came to his father's return, but when he had someone as kind as Masaru Bakugo in his life, Father's Day didn’t feel as empty.
When things get good, Midoriya had to be prepared to lose it all. He lost everyone as soon as things were good. It was a recurring theme. When Midoriya turned four years old and no quirk arrived when he was nearing five years old, he was diagnosed quirkless. All of his friends, the remaining family he knew, all adults who were in his life, and the Bakugo family were gone faster than his father.
Things were less than good. Despite those that bully him and treated him like the scum of the earth, he had the unconditional love of his mother. Quirklessness was seen as this contagious disease, at least that is how people spoke about quirkless people. Midoriya got used to the feeling of being avoided and he became accustomed to humiliation.
As if the world was giving him a solid, Midoriya fell in love at the prime age of thirteen. He had been on those “talk with strangers” websites where you video-called random people. After many failed attempts, someone finally came along and appeared to be the missing piece he was desperately searching for.
This mystery person's name was Hayabusa Teru. He had beautiful electric pink eyes and his hair was a cotton candy blue. He seemed so amazed by meeting a quirkless person that he didn’t think twice about exchanging numbers. After all, quirkless people were rare.
After they took their conversation elsewhere, they got to know one another more. Teru was fourteen, about 13 months older than Midoriya. Neither minded, it kept things interesting and it was expected. There was something so exciting about meeting someone near your age that seemed like a genuine person.
Teru lived about thirty minutes away from Midoriya. Midoriya figured that was the case as he put on the setting “people near me”. The two clicked instantly. They’d continue to video call, text, and occasionally hang out.
Their friendship was strong and seemed unbreakable. That lasted for half a year before they started dating. A year later while Midoriya was sitting in class, he felt his phone buzz. Opening his phone he saw no notification so he let it rest.
What Midoriya didn’t know was that Teru had blocked him on all forms of social media. Midoriya was defeated. He gave up. Not even a week later, Bakugo told him to kill himself and he got turned down by his idol. Midoriya believed things couldn’t get worse, and surprisingly things didn’t.
Midoriya grabbed the attention of All Might and earned the quirk of ultimate power. It seemed that one person was enough to turn his entire world upside down.
Midoriya was now training and eating healthier. His mother was finally getting into the groove of things as Midoriya was finally pushing forward again and working on himself. As if things couldn’t have gotten better, Midoriya passed the entrance exam and got into UA. Midoriya was achieving his dream and focusing on himself for once.
Being a UA student, of course, was no cakewalk and it didn’t go without flaw, but Midoriya made it. Almost instantly, Midoriya fit right into the new setting. Midoriya made friends, was socializing, and had adults in his life that actually cared. Even better, he finally had father figures in his life that were a million times better than the one he gave up on.
Despite everyone seeming to go perfectly, there was something that had been bugging Midoriya. That was love. Midoriya found himself surrounded by amazing people that made him feel amazing. Part of him tried to shut out the idea of romance. He didn’t think he had the right to entertain the idea of a relationship when he needed to put all his focus into becoming the best hero.
No matter how hard he tried to focus solely on hero work and friendships, his heart was too big. He couldn’t help but be with his close group of friends and feel flustered half of the time their attention was on him. Hell, a large portion of his classmates managed to find a way to fluster him.
Iida was well-built, tall, respectful, and really fun to be around. He was protective, realistic, and probably Midoriya’s closest friend. Iida was very animated and was a whole show to Midoriya. Midoriya wanted to melt at the very thought of dating him.
Uraraka was beautiful. She moved with grace and radiated so much power with her determination that it left Midoriya breathless. She was determined to be a powerful her and support her family. She was smart, kind, extremely considerate, and inspiring. She got him all sorts of disheveled when she had him going.
Todoroki was perfection. He doesn’t understand social cues, making him awkward and intimidating. That meant Todoroki was always fluctuating between cute and hot. The two had been through a lot together, mentally and physically. Midoriya admired Todoroki and his development. Todoroki was a very caring person. Midoriya longed to be held in the warm yet cold touch of his best friend.
Then there was Kirishima, Kaminari, Bakugo, Sero, Momo, and Aoyama, and don’t even get him started on those outside of his class. They all had their own unique traits and were very entertaining. They all trusted his intuition and were fun to be around.
For a bit, he thought Monoma was fair game. It would take some work, but Midoriya was willing to put in the effort. The Monoma open his mouth during their joint training and Midoriya didn’t think he’d ever forgive Monoma for saying something so cruel about Bakugo.
Little did Midoriya know, that everyone he was interested in was absolutely head over heels for him. Bakugo would never admit to it, ever, but it was true. They all craved to see Midoriya blush. They all watched him carry on through the day with a relaxed smile. It brought them joy.
Aizawa seemed to have gotten a private message from Nezu as he checked his phone from his sleeping bag. Irritated about his nap being disturbed, he glared at his phone.
“Problem Child. You have a visitor,” announced Aizawa tiredly.
Midoriya raised a brow, confused as to who could be visiting. “Where do I go? Who is it?”
“I don’t know kid. I guess just go to Nezu’s office,” guessed Aizawa, immediately going back to slumber.
Midoriya checked the time and decided to leave his stuff in class. There were still about twenty minutes left and the visit shouldn’t be anything too major. Before he could even get out of his seat there was a knock on the door.
Iida jumped up, claiming his role as class representative. “I shall see who it is as Mister Aizawa is asleep!”
Midoriya smiled, getting up himself. “Well, I have to go anyways, Iida. You should’ve let me do it.”
“Oh! I didn’t realize that. Well, I’m already up so let me hold the door open for you!” offered Iida proudly as he reached for the handle.
Pulling open the door, Midoriya happily stood next to Iida. Looking directly at the person who had knocked, Midoriya felt like the air was knocked out of him.
Vibrant pink eyes. Cotton candy blue hair.
Midoriya felt his eyes widen, staring at the person who had ghosted him well over a year ago.
“Teru?”
The entire class felt their eyes widen that Midoriya knew the handsome teen. The boy looked down at Midoriya with an excited face.
“Izuku?”
The class found themselves fully invested the moment Midoriya’s first name was used.
Midoriya looked at the boy for a second longer before his shoulders sank a bit. “Glad to know you’re alive. Anyways I have a visitor to meet.”
“Izuku, I’m the visitor!” cheered Teru happily, looking at Midoriya for a response.
Midoriya seemed to close himself off. Taking a step back and crossing his arms, Midoriya grew suspicious. “How’d you find me?”
“I went to surprise you at your home but when I got there your mom said you stayed at the dorms in UA. So here I am,” explained Teru quickly.
Midoriya was not satisfied. Honestly, Midoriya was pissed, beyond pissed. What right did Teru have to come back a year after ghosting him only to act like they never stopped talking in the first place? Teru wasn’t going to get what he wanted. Midoriya was not going to give him what he wanted.
“You better have a good explanation as to why you suddenly want to surprise me,” demanded Midoriya, giving Teru a warning with irritation laced in his voice.
The rest of the group grew uneasy. Midoriya was almost never angry when it came to people. Majority of the time he’s angry when fighting a villain or when someone is messing with the people he cares about. This was different. This was very, very different.
Teru seemed surprised by the reaction, nervous himself. “What are you talking about Izuku? Can’t your boyfriend surprise you?”
Iida felt his glasses slip down his nose a bit as his jaw dropped. Tsuyu and Uraraka exchanged a glance, mortified at the reality of Midoriya having had a boyfriend this entire time. Bakugo was blowing up a fuse while Todoroki was still trying to process the fact that Midoriya was in a relationship.
Momo was disappointed but more fearful of the fact she had flirted with someone already in a relationship. Kirishima ignored the pain of missing his chance while Kaminari wasn’t subtle with his exaggerated crying. Sero slammed his face on the desk defeatedly, angry that someone like Teru had got to Midoriya first. Aoyama frowned, a little hurt as he had gotten his hopes up.
Midoriya's scoffing snapped them all out of their self-pity. “I haven’t seen, let alone heard from you in a year. What about that makes you think we are still dating?”
The group all felt themselves perk up. Midoriya was single and the douchebag before them was making an idiot of himself.
“Izuku! I— I had to-,” stammered Teru, unsure of what lies to spit out.
Cutting Teru off, Midoriya coldly snapped, “Midoriya. You call me Midoriya now.”
Teru felt his eyes widen, looking at the group of students watching with wide eyes. Midoriya felt the group's stares and headed out the door.
“Hall. Now.”
Teru didn’t hesitate, preferring some privacy. Midoriya turned to face Teru, visibly upset.
“Where were you? What were you doing that was so important that you couldn’t contact me for over a year?” shouted Midoriya, hissing at the bastard.
Teru, not having an excuse, lied, “I broke my phone and I couldn’t get a new one and my mom was-.”
Midoriya cut off Teru again by smacking him hard across the face. Teru snapped his gaze right back to Midoriya, genuinely shocked by the hit that landed on him.
“Don’t you dare utter another lie to me? Who do you think I am?” yelled Midoriya in disbelief. The anger diminished and hurt refiled the void, his eyes searching Teru’s face, trying to find anything that signaled Teru actually cared.
Teru hesitated to reach out, slightly scared of being smacked again. “Okay, I’m sorry, but. Look... I just... I needed a break from everything, including you.”
Midoriya laughed at that, disgusted with the insensitivity of Teru. “You never once said any of this was a problem. Not once had you even tried to explain that something was wrong or you wanted a break. You didn’t have to fucking ghost me!”
“I know and I’m sorry. I really miss you and I’m back. I’m here to stay. Let’s do this,” pleaded Teru, taking Midoriya's hand as he whispered, “I really like you.”
Midoriya looked at Teru with a disturbed expression. He couldn’t understand why Teru was going out of his way to do this. His withdrawn body language should have said enough. Besides, Midoriya had clearly proved he is not one to be messed with and is skeptical of believing anything Teru was saying.
Midoriya was filled with many emotions from the out-of-blue confession. He was embarrassed, appalled, and a bit sympathetic. It was clear to say Midoriya was nauseated as he shook his head in a pleading manner. “Please don’t do this. I can’t.”
“Can’t what? I said I like you,” backtracked Teru, slightly panicking as the upcoming rejection was settling in.
“I don’t trust you. Let me go Teru,” confessed Midoriya, his eyes locking with Teru’s.
The two stood, looking at each other with faces of distaste. Teru let out a breath and narrowed his eyes. “You really became stuck up,” spat Teru.
Midoriya smiled with a dangerous glint in his eyes as he laughed at the insult. “And you became a delusional asshole.”
The taller boy stepped off, backing away. Teru had to remind himself that he was in U.A. High and he was pushing his limits with a student there. His best odds were with him biting his tongue. Midoriya looked at Teru for a moment more before opening the door to the classroom.
“Leave before I report you,” threatened Midoriya before stepping inside. He didn’t bother to turn around and spare Teru a glance. There were no pleasantries for Midoriya to send Teru off with.
The rest of the class had been in a circle, all of them mumbling about something. With Midoriya’s voice distracting them from their conversation, they all turned their heads to face Midoriya. It was clear the group was happy to see him return. The sight made Midoriya’s heart warm.
Midoriya grinned at the class, waving. “Sorry about him! I really don’t know why he suddenly showed up!”
Todoroki walked over, standing before his friend. “So that guy isn’t your boyfriend?”
“No, things ended between us over a year ago. Honestly, I hate that he pulled a stunt like that,” whined Midoriya, complaining.
Iida nodded, understanding the anger Midoriya must have felt upon seeing his ex. “So, why’d he come back?”
Midoriya had to think about it for a second, frowning. “Actually... I don’t know. He acted like we never broke up. Technically we never did, but he was the one who had ghosted me. I guess he got lonely, saw I was doing amazing, and expected me to be waiting for him to come back.”
Wishing she had beaten up the guy when she had a chance, Uraraka gasped, “He ghosted you? What a jerk!”
“How long were you even together?” questioned Tsuyu, irritated by the information as well.
“About a year,” answered Midoriya casually, looking up at the group that was shooting him questions.
“Wow! Talk about cowardly!” shouted Kaminari, looking at Midoriya in disbelief.
Momo nodded, resting a worried hand on Midoriya’s shoulder. “That must’ve been really rough for you Midoriya. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we are glad you handled things the way you did.”
Bakugo raised a crackling hand and scoffed, “I would’ve handled it better damn nerd.”
Midoriya couldn’t help but laugh. Everyone was so protective and concerned that it turned him into a beautiful shade of pink. He was honored to be surrounded by people that had his back. They validated the part of him that he was trying to heal. He was grateful for his classmates.
Everyone melted at the sight of Midoriya glowing before them. Midoriya was a gift. He had an energy about him that just filled everyone up. There was something amazing about the way Midoriya brought the best out of people.
Aizawa woke up to everyone just surrounding Midoriya, using all the time they could to be around him. Aizawa grinned and sunk deeper into his sleeping bag. He’d ask about the situation and fill Nezu in about banning the visitor. For now, he’d rest easy knowing his students had everything covered.
Midoriya ends up getting a pile of Valentine's Day cards from people in the school. Each card came with a special batch of chocolate, all having their own special flavor to them. Midoriya realized he didn’t have to worry about choosing someone to love. It would happen naturally.
Midoriya happily handed everyone he had a silly crush on a bag of chocolates. Each bag was unique to the receiver. Todoroki got peppermint chocolates. Bakugo got spicey chocolate. Uraraka got chocolate mochi. Kirishima got strawberry chocolate. Momo got matcha chocolate. It was safe to say the entire class was impressed with the tasty treat.
It would be a while till Midoriya got into a relationship. No matter when it happens or who it is he ends up being with, he knew that his friends would treat him no different and still cherish their time with him. They were truly amazing.
Guess I managed to get everything back I lost and more.

I saw that you like Female Izuku! I know I should probably ask this on your BNHA blog, but I was scrolling through your main blog and I hope you don't mind me asking here. I would really like to ask you to share some headcanons you have for Female Midoriya! How she's different from male Midoriya, maybe how yo uthink she'd look, something like that? I don't want to bother you, I hope I'm not (ships included would be a dream come true!)
You’re perfectly fine, I don’t mind nonny, especially since I’m responding so late! I do adore female Midoriya Izuku. I actually prefer the genderbend (Not that I don’t love Izuku, he’s my favorite character, and the story wouldn’t be the same without him- which is obvious).
Headcanons? I’m surprised anyone would even ask me my personal opinion in general, so thank you! I got quite a few, especially since I’m writing a female Midoriya fic (Shameless insertion of my fic, let me live!) Though these could actually count as male Izuku headcanons too, tbh.
I’m going to put a cut here since I got carried away and wrote an entire fucking essay.
- I actually don’t name her Izuka, Izumi, or Iza, but her name is Isabelle. It has to do with my headcanon that her parents actually are English speakers first and Isabelle’s mother took Isabelle to Japan later on. Midoriya is actually her mother’s last name.
- Isabelle’s father is actually a huge villain down in America, and he does more than just breathe fire, he can temper any fire around him, eat it, and even stand in it. They (hero’s and government alike) call him the Dragon of the West. He not only has a large following but does extreme damage all on his own.
- That’s why she and her mother are in Japan. They’re actually in hiding. Not that Isabelle know’s that. She just thinks he’s out there somewhere for work.
- Whenever she asks about her dad her mom shies away and makes up some excuse. Once, at a very young age, she tried sending him a letter. When she didn’t get a response she didn’t go to her mom because she thought she’d get in trouble. So she went to Bakugou of people. He was surprisingly comforting.
