can't stop thinking about quirk marriage au! with tenya iida.
with villains becoming stonger as the years go on, the iida family realise they will need to toughen up if they want their future generations to stand a chance at becoming decent heroes. especially after what happened to tensei.
to preserve their prestigious lineage, they arrange a quirk marriage for tenya, with a reader whose quirk is related to stamina or durability, in hopes to bear offspring who are both fast and hardy. reader comes from a poor background so they agree in exchange for money to support their family.
at first the marriage feels very much like business and tenya treats it as such; respecting you as much as he would a co-worker. which, albeit, is a lot but he doesn't care about you the way a husband should. he opens doors for you and will help you with household chores and is generally nurturing during your pregnancy, but he has no interest in sharing a bedroom or even eating dinner together. because he may be the father to your child, but he's not your friend.
it goes on like that for a while, until one day he hears you crying in your room. he's not monster, so of course he checks on you to see what the issue is, and you explain to him that you're afraid of what will happen if your child doesn't inherit a composite quirk. if you would be replaced and left to care for it on your own. he reassures you that he'd never abandon you or his child, and that the two of you could always try again. success doesn't come easy.
however, the moment of vulnerablitiy he shared with you was exactly that â a moment. afterwards, he immediately went back to being stern and distant, which contributed you putting up walls to protect your feeling from if he were to ever disappoint you again in the future. like a mantra that repeated in your mind constantly, he doesn't love you and you don't love him.
he never picked up on your increased resistance though, not until three years after the birth of your child and they began displaying signs of a fusion quirk. he turned to you, delighted, and you appeared relieved too, but he was left gawking incredulously after you said, "how lucky. thank the lord we don't need to have another child. one was hard enough."
hearing that caused his heart to drop, as he realised who he had become and the cumulative impact his behaviour has had on you. how could his own wife depise him to that extent? this question haunted him because he knew the answer, he just never had the strength to confront it before.
he had to do something to fix it, now. loving him wasn't necessary, but he needed to prove to you his worth as a father and a husband. he did his best to attend every single one of your kid's baseball games with you, he'd buy you a new bouquet of flowers every week, he'd kiss you on the cheek as a show of affection, whenever you needed a self-care day he'd arrange time-off work, he'd take the family out to the aquarium and the zoo and disneyland and wherever you pleased.
but none of it was ever enough to penetrate your rigid defences. despite his best efforts, he was left with a wife that hates him and child that may grow up to resent him. what a legecy he has paved.
one night, he is sat in bed, doing some light reading before he goes to sleep, when his child sulks into the room. they explain they had a nightmare and want to sleep in their dad's bed tonight. of course tenya agrees and usually there isn't any problems, but tonight the child continued to stir, until they requested, "can mommy sleep here too?"
tenya blinked. usually he would bend over backwards to cheer up his kid, especially as they are having sleep troubles, but this is a bit more complicated as you might be opposed to the idea. however, there was no harm in trying, so tenya sent the kid to your room to ask if it was okay with you.
and of course, you adore your child with everything you have, so if sleeping with your useless husband is what it takes to help them rest soundly, then so be it. you trudge into tenya's room and plop down on the queen-sized bed, with your beloved baby nuzzled between you two. it actually wasn't as awkward as you initially thought, and all three of you are lulled off into the serene night.
tenya woke up before you, so he was the first to realise that your child had snuck off in the middle of the night, while the two of you subconciously cuddled each other. hence, he had you wrapped in his strong arms, with your face nuzzled into his chest.
even with bedhead and a bit drool smudged on your cheek, he thought, you were still so beautiful. so much so, he couldn't help but smile and protectively tighten his grip on you. so funny too. sarcastic yet sickeningly sweet and caring.
had things been different, he wondered if the two of you would've truly been in love. he reckons so; you really are his type, and the perfect girl, which is something he's realising all too late. he blames the circumstances and wishes more than anything that the two of you could've met organically, because although he isn't the best husband, he would give anything to have been your boyfriend.

chapter 3
The city was alive with the hum of distant traffic, the glow of streetlights flickering to life as the sun dipped below the horizon. Shadows stretched long against the pavement, and the air held a crispness that signaled the transition from evening to night.
Izuku Midoriya walked home, his mind swirling with thoughts, emotions tangled like frayed wires. The day had been relentless. His chest still felt tight from the weight of Katsukiâs words, the sting of burnt pages lingering in his hands like ghostly remnants.
He barely noticed the shift in the airâhow it grew heavier, how the streetlights flickered unnaturally.
Not until it was too late.
A gurgling, wet sound slithered into his ears.
Thenâ
A thick, putrid mass exploded from the shadows, lunging at him with a sickening squelch.
The world tilted.
He barely had time to react before something thick, suffocating, and vile wrapped around his body, sliding over his limbs like living tar. The smell was unbearableârotting sewage mixed with something acrid and unnatural. His arms flailed, but his hands found no purchase, slipping uselessly through the gelatinous substance.
His lungs seized.
It was inside his mouth. His throat.
He tried to scream, but only a muffled, strangled sound escaped.
âA small fry like you will make a good cover,â the creatureâs voice gurgled, words distorted as though spoken through bubbling liquid. âJust stop squirming, and this will be over soonâŠâ
The edges of his vision blurred. His heart pounded against his ribs in rapid, panicked beats.
NoâNo, I canâtâ!
Just as darkness began creeping at the corners of his mindâ
A gust of wind exploded through the alley.
A deafening BOOM followed, like the very air had been torn apart. The pressure knocked the slime villain back, ripping it from Izukuâs body in one violent motion.
He hit the ground hard, gasping, his lungs finally dragging in airâburning, painful, glorious air.
His ears rang, his vision spun.
And thenâ
A figure loomed before him, silhouetted by the city lights.
âFear not, young man!â
A voice boomed, powerful, unwaveringâfamiliar.
Izukuâs breath hitched.
The world seemed to snap into place as his vision cleared, revealing the unmistakable figure standing tall before him.
âBecause I am here!â
All Might.
A legend.
A living symbol.
He had seen this moment play out in his dreams a thousand timesâAll Might, standing before him, saving the day like he always did. But now? Now it was real.
His idol had just saved his life.
His vision blurred againânot from dizziness, but from the sheer weight of the moment. His body trembled with unprocessed adrenaline as he tried to push himself up, but before he could find his footing, darkness overtook him.
He fainted.
The next time his eyes opened, the world was still unsteady.
And yetâthere he was.
All Might.
Standing mere feet away, larger than life, his bright grin as dazzling as ever.
Izuku scrambled to his knees, his breath catching in his throat. âA-Ah! Iâ!â
He reached for his notebook, fumbling for a pen, desperateâhe needed an autograph, something, anythingâ
But when he flipped open the scorched pagesâ
It was already there.
All Mightâs signature, scrawled across the page in bold strokes.
Izuku choked on his own breath, tears stinging at the edges of his vision.
âYouâre safe now, young man,â All Might assured him, giving a thumbs-up.
And then, just like that, he turned to leave, dragging the villainâs remains with him.
NoâWait!
Panic surged in Izukuâs chest, desperation overtaking logic.
He couldnât just let this moment end.
Before he could think, before he could stop himselfâ
He grabbed onto All Mightâs leg.
The next thing he knewâ
The ground disappeared.
Wind roared in his ears, his stomach lurched as he realizedâ
He was flying.
âLet go, young man!â All Mightâs voice boomed, alarmed.
âIâIâll die if I do!â Izuku clung tighter.
All Mightâs face twitched, his grin straining, and thenâblood.
A thick spurt of red leaked from his mouth.
Izukuâs eyes widened in horror.
Before he could react, All Might twisted in midair, scanning the cityscape before making a sharp descent.
They landedâhardâon an empty rooftop.
Izuku tumbled, rolling onto his back, gasping for breath.
All Might stood over him, lookingâŠoff.
Strange.
His body trembled slightly, his posture rigid.
And thenâ
He deflated.
Note : fucking balloons I tell ya. â Duolingo
Gone was the towering figure of muscle and might.
Before Izuku now stood a gaunt, sickly man, steam rising from his frail frame.
Izukuâs world cracked.
All Might sighed, wiping blood from his chin. âYou had to ask something, didnât you?â
Izuku swallowed, his voice barely above a whisper.
âCan⊠someone without a Quirk⊠be a hero like you?â
ElsewhereâŠÂ
Back at the streets, the night deepened.
Katsuki Bakugo stood with his âfriends,â though the term was loose at best.
âYou mightâve gone too far, man.â
One of them spoke cautiously.
Katsuki scoffed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. âTch. Itâs his own damn fault.â
The others exchanged glances.
They had seen Izuku take a lot over the years, but today? Today wasâdifferent.
Katsuki didnât care.
At least, thatâs what he told himself.
What he didnât notice, thoughâ
Was the pair of eyes watching from the shadows.
Waiting.
Hunting.
âHeh. Get lost, kid. I already found me a meat suit!â
The slime villain gurgled, tightening its grip around Katsukiâs struggling form.
From the edge of the alley, a figure stepped into view.
Unbothered.
Unhurried.
(Y/N).
âSpanish or vanish.â
The villain paused.
For a moment, silence hung between them.
Then, to its creditâ
âHola?â
(Y/N) smirked.
Katsuki, however, wasnât so lucky.
Itâs not like heâs drowning in slime or anything.
Oh wait.
He is.
Imagineâlungs filled, oxygen cut off. The slow, excruciating realization that no matter how hard you struggle, no matter how much you claw, thereâs no air left.
Imagine the sheer, burning agony of suffocationânot just from lack of breath, but from inside out. His skin tingles, his nerves alight with an eerie numbness as the sludge seeps into every crevice, clogging his throat, squeezing his chest, crawling behind his eyesâ
He is dying.
And no one is there to save him.
Particles.
Bit by bit, Katsukiâs body began to disintegrate.
The slime villain froze.
Thenâ
There was nothing.
Just empty air where Katsuki once was.
The villain recoiled in confusion.
(Y/N), howeverâ
Simply grinned.
âAll in a dayâs work.â
Spoken to no one in particular.
Just a statement.
A fact.
A predatorâs satisfaction.
And where does that leave our lovable pomegranate dog? Gone? Vanished ? Perhaps he now resides elsewhere? Elsewhere likeâŠ

chapter 2
The classroom smelled like dust and old paper, the kind of scent that settled into the walls of every school, no matter how new or well-kept. The overhead lights flickered once before steadying, their dim glow casting long shadows across rows of students slumped in their seats, waiting for yet another lecture about the futureâone that most of them werenât ready to hear.
The teacher stood at the front, balancing a thick stack of papers in his hands, adjusting his glasses as he glanced over the class with the kind of tired patience that came from years of watching students do everything except listen. âAlright, everyone, itâs time to start thinking seriously about your futures.â His voice carried the weight of routine. He had said this same line to countless students before, and heâd say it again next year, and the year after that. âIâll be handing out printouts for your desired career paths. Itâs important to start planning now, especially for those of you applying to high-ranking schools.â
A groan rippled through the class, some students resting their chins in their hands, already tuning him out. The only real reaction came when the teacher added, almost offhandedly, âBut I already know you all want to be heroes.â
That got their attention.
Excitement crackled through the room like static electricity, students perking up, quirks activating instinctivelyâtiny flashes of fire, sudden gusts of wind, the faint hum of energy vibrating beneath fingertips. Someoneâs chair levitated an inch off the ground before clattering back down. A few sparks danced between fingers, fizzling out as the teacher let out an exasperated sigh.
âYou know quirks arenât allowed during school hours,â he scolded.
Most of them ignored him, their attention shifting toward one person in particularâthe boy who had already made it clear he was on a different level.
Katsuki Bakugo smirked, arms folded as he leaned back in his seat, radiating the kind of confidence that made it impossible to look away. âDonât lump me in with the rest of these extras,â he said, voice dripping with superiority. âIâm not just trying to be a heroâI will be the top hero. Better than All Might himself.â
A few students groaned at his arrogance, but no one could deny the weight of his words. Katsuki had already aced the mock exams. Everyone knew he had the skills, the drive. He was going to U.A. High School, no question about it.
Then, someone spoke up.
âWhat about Midoriya?â
The entire classroom fell silent for a moment before erupting into laughter.
Izuku, who had been diligently scribbling in his notebook, tensed as every pair of eyes in the room turned to him. He clutched his pen tighter, shoulders drawn in as if he could physically make himself smaller.
âYou?â One of the students scoffed. âYouâre still trying to get into U.A.? Seriously?â
Katsuki snorted, rolling his eyes. âTch. Donât make me laugh, Deku. You think theyâd let in a quirkless loser like you?â
Izuku didnât say anything. He just lowered his head, biting the inside of his cheek as the laughter continued around him.
In another classroom, just a few doors down, a completely different scene was unfolding.
The teacher wiped at her eyes, sniffling dramatically as she looked over her students. âI just⊠I canât believe this is my last year with you all. Youâve grown so muchâŠâ
Groans and quiet complaints filled the room, students shifting uncomfortably in their seats as they endured the teacherâs sentimental rambling. Only one student remained still, unbothered.
(Y/N) sat perfectly straight, eyes half-lidded as they listenedânot just to their own classroom, but to everything. The hum of the fluorescent lights. The rhythmic tapping of a pen two rows back. The scrape of a chair against the floor in the hallway. The faint, distant voices from the other classrooms.
And beyond that? The breathing of students down the hall. The sound of shoes scuffing against linoleum. The way their voices wavered, the subtle shifts in their toneâthings no normal person would ever pick up on. But (Y/N) wasnât normal.
Their head tilted slightly, watching as the teacher dabbed at her eyes again, voice thick with emotion.
A beat of silence.
Then, (Y/N) muttered, just loud enough for everyone to hear
âLlorona.â
âCrybabyâ
The effect was immediate.
The entire class stiffened. A few students coughed awkwardly, shifting in their seats. One boy let out a snort before quickly covering his mouth, eyes darting between (Y/N) and the teacher. Even the teacher, despite her flustered attempt to compose herself, hesitated for just a fraction of a second.
It wasnât just the word itselfâit was how (Y/N) had said it.
Flat. Unfeeling. Like an observation rather than an insult.
As if they had simply named something that had already been true.
The teacher cleared her throat, clearly choosing to ignore it. âNow then,â she said, regaining some composure. âLetâs talk about high school applications. We have many promising students this year, and Iâm sure you all have big plans for the future. (Y/N), what about you?â
All eyes turned toward them.
(Y/N) was, without question, the top student in the school. Their grades were impeccable, their test scores untouchable. But unlike Katsuki Bakugo, they werenât loud about it. They didnât boast or draw attention to themselves. They simply existedâa presence that should have been impossible to ignore, yet somehow always slipped through the cracks.
A few students exchanged glances, whispering amongst themselves.
âWhat even is their quirk?â
âI donât think Iâve ever seen them use it.â
âAre they quirkless, too?â
(Y/N) ignored them.
They waited just long enough for the tension to settle, then answered, âU.A. High School.â
The words were spoken with such perfect timing that, in another classroom down the hall, Katsuki Bakugo unknowingly echoed them at the exact same moment:
âDonât lump me in with everyone elseâIâm going to U.A.â
The whispers in (Y/N)âs class quieted, but the unease didnât fade.
They had heard him.
Every syllable, every breath. Even from this distance, through the walls, through the overlapping noise of a hundred other students, they had heard it as clearly as if he had been sitting right beside them.
It was an ability no normal human should have.
But then again⊠(Y/N) wasnât human.
Not really.
The room buzzed with murmurs as the students debated the difficulty of the U.A. entrance exam. A few of them whispered about the acceptance rate, the insane expectations, the kind of raw power and talent needed to even stand a chance against other applicants.
Katsuki Bakugo had heard it all before, and it didnât matter.
He scoffed, leaning back in his chair with an easy arrogance, stretching his arms behind his head. âLike any of that matters. I already aced the mock exam. Iâll pass the real thing just as easily.â
His grin widened as he added, âIâll be the bestâbetter than All Might himself.â
The room filled with chatter again, a mix of impressed nods and skeptical side-eyes. But no one dared challenge him outright. No one exceptâ
âWell, Midoriya wants to go to U.A. too.â
Silence.
For a moment, the only sound in the classroom was the hum of the fluorescent lights. Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, the entire class turned to look at Izuku.
And thenâlaughter.
It started with a few chuckles, then erupted into full-blown cackling. Someone slapped their desk. Another wiped at imaginary tears. The mockery was deafening, drowning out everything else in the room.
Izuku stiffened, clutching his notebook tightly against his chest. His ears burned, his nails digging into the worn cover of his notes.
âYou?â One student sneered. âYou really think youâll get into U.A.?â
âThereâs no way,â another chimed in. âAll you ever do is study. Whatâs that gonna do for you in the hero course?â
Izuku opened his mouth, scrambling for a defense, but before he could get a word outâ
BOOM.
An explosion crackled in the air, heat licking at Izukuâs skin as smoke curled between them. He flinched back instinctively.
Katsuki was already in front of him, his hand still sparking from the blast, his expression unreadable except for the sheer contempt in his red eyes.
âDonât put yourself on the same level as me, Deku,â he spat, voice low, dangerous.
Izuku sucked in a sharp breath, stepping back, but Katsuki followed.
âI-Iâm notââ Izuku stammered. âI know I canât compete with you, Kacchan. But this isnât about that. I justâIâve had this dream since I was a kid. And if I donât at least tryâIâll never know if I could haveââ
âTch.â
Katsukiâs lip curled. âYou donât get it, do you?â He turned slightly, addressing the rest of the class without taking his eyes off Izuku. âThe entrance examâs impossible for someone like him.â
The class murmured in agreement, some shaking their heads, others smirking.
Izuku swallowed hard, looking down at his shoes.
The laughter wasnât as loud this time, but it was still there.
ElsewhereâŠ
A scream split the air.
The streets, once bustling with casual evening activity, had fallen into chaos.
A villain tore through the cityâa writhing, amorphous mass of dark green sludge, slipping between alleyways and leaving a foul-smelling trail in its wake. Its liquid body sloshed unnaturally, eyes blinking open and shut across its surface. People scrambled out of its way, some running, others watching from what they hoped was a safe distance.
âThereâs no end to villains like thisâŠâ someone muttered from the crowd.
A shadow shifted above them.
âNo,â a voice answered, deep and powerful. âThere is an end to them.â
Because he was there.
Back at the Middle SchoolâŠ
The school day had ended, students pouring out of the building in clusters, their chatter fading into the distance.
Inside an empty classroom, the air was thick with the fading scent of burnt ozone and old chalk. The last golden rays of sunlight filtered through the windows, casting long shadows across the desks.
Only four people remained.
Izuku Midoriya stood near his desk, fumbling with his things, head down as he tried to ignore the presence looming behind him.
Katsuki Bakugo leaned lazily against a desk, arms crossed, crimson eyes locked onto Izuku with an expression that was both smug and irritated. His two lackeys, sitting casually on desks nearby, watched the exchange with quiet amusement.
It was always like this.
âYou seriously think you can get into U.A.?â Katsuki scoffed, pushing off the desk and sauntering over. âYou?â
Izuku stiffened.
Katsuki snatched the notebook from his hands before he could react, flipping through the pages with a sneer.
âYouâre still scribbling in this dumb book?â Katsuki shook his head, his grip tightening. âYouâre wasting your damn time, Deku.â
Izuku opened his mouth to protest, butâ
BOOM.
A small explosion erupted from Katsukiâs palm, searing the edges of the notebook. Ash curled into the air as the pages darkened and crumbled, bits of burnt paper fluttering to the floor like dying embers.
Izukuâs stomach twisted. His hands clenched at his sides as he bit back the urge to reach for the ruined book.
Katsuki chuckled, letting the notebook slip from his fingers, the smoldering remains hitting the floor between them.
âYouâll never be a hero, Deku,â he said, voice light but laced with something sharper underneath.
Izuku swallowed hard, forcing himself to meet Katsukiâs gaze.
âIââ
But Katsuki cut him off with a laugh, shaking his head as if the whole thing was some grand joke. He took a step closer, lowering his voice just slightly.
âIf you really wanna do something useful,â he murmured, his tone almost casual, âwhy donât you take a swan dive off the rooftop?â
The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating.
Izuku froze.
The classroom felt smaller, the walls pressing in, the silence deafening.
For a moment, his breath hitched.
Then, slowly, he forced himself to move. He bent down, ignoring the scorch marks as he picked up what remained of his notebook.
Katsuki watched him with a smirk, waiting for some kind of reactionâanger, tears, anything.
But Izuku didnât say a word.
He turned, clutching the ruined book to his chest, and walked out of the classroom without looking back.
(Y/N) who had been passing by when the words reached their ears.
They had heard everything.
Not just the conversation, but the subtle shifts in breathing, the steady thrum of Katsukiâs heartbeat, the way Izukuâs hands trembled for just a second before he steadied them.
They heard it all.
But they didnât stop.
Didnât intervene.
They simply walked past the open classroom door, glancing inside just long enough to commit the scene to memory. Their eyes landed on Katsuki, scanning his face, his posture.
Then, just as quietly as they came, they kept walking.
At the end of the hall, their lips curled into something unreadable.
And when they spoke, their voice was softâalmost playful.
âIt seems someoneâs in need of Spanish lessons.â

chapter 1
In the pastâŠ
The playground buzzed with the sound of children playing, their laughter ringing through the air. The warm scent of freshly cut grass mixed with the faint burn of rubber from the swings. A perfect afternoonâif not for the scene unfolding beneath the jungle gym.
A young Izuku Midoriya stood trembling, his tiny fists clenched at his sides.
Across from him, Katsuki Bakugo sneered, tiny explosions crackling at his palms. Behind Izuku, a smaller boy sniffled, rubbing at his eyes, too afraid to run.
âYou seriously think you can play hero, Deku?â Katsuki scoffed. âYou donât even have a Quirk.â
Izukuâs breath hitched. His throat felt tight. But still, he stood firm, swallowing back his fear.
âI-I donât have to have a Quirk t-to help othersââ
His own voice betrayed him, stumbling over the words, his fear making them weak.
Katsukiâs smirk widened. âPathetic.â He stepped forward;
Snap.
A branch broke.
The sound wasnât close.
The kids froze. The crack had come from the treeline just beyond the playground, where the trees grew thick and dark.
Shadows pooled unnaturally between the trunks, too deep for the time of day.
Katsuki barely spared it a glance before turning back to Izuku. âTch. Whatever.â He shoved past him, motioning for his friends to follow.
Izuku exhaled shakily, watching them leave. Then, as he turned to check on the boy behind himâ
He felt it.
That prickling sensation creeping up his neck. The kind that told himâhe wasnât alone.
His gaze drifted back to the trees.
And there, perched among the twisted branchesâsomething watched him.
It wasnât an animal. Wasnât a person. It was bothâand neither.
The air around it rippled, warped, twistedâas if reality itself bent to accommodate its presence.
One massive, unblinking eye stared at him from the shadows.
Izukuâs breath caught.
Then it multiplied.
One became two.
Two became four.
Each set of eyes stacked atop the othersâa grotesque, staring tower of sight.
Izuku staggered back, his little hands gripping his sleeves. He wanted to run. Wanted to scream. But his voiceâhis legsâwouldnât work.
The eyes blinked.
And just like thatâthey were gone.
A rustle of leaves. A shift of wind.
Nothing more.
Izuku gasped, his tiny heart hammering against his ribs. He blinked, rubbed his eyesâ
Had he imagined it?
âZuku?â
His motherâs voice, soft and distant. Calling him from the park entrance.
Izuku swallowed, forcing himself to turn. âC-Coming, Mom!â
Still shaking, he ran toward herânever looking back.
Because deep in the trees, hidden where no sunlight reachedâsomething was still watching.
And it would never stop.
In the presentâŠ
A news broadcast played somewhere in the background, the familiar report echoing through the streets.
âIt all started in Qing Qing City, Chinaâwhen a newborn baby was born aglow with a radiant light. The phenomenon spread across the world, and soon, the majority of the population developed supernatural abilities. These powers, known as âQuirks,â shaped society as we know it. With power came conflict, but alsoâheroes.â
The city buzzed with excitement as a massive villain rampaged through the streets, his towering form knocking over lampposts and crushing pavement beneath his weight.
âStay back!â a Pro Hero shouted, holding civilians at bay.
Izuku Midoriya, now a third-year junior high student, pushed his way through the crowd, notebook in hand, eyes wide with anticipation.
âNo wayâitâs Kamui Woods!â
The sleek Pro Hero leaped into action, twisting through the air as he extended wooden tendrils from his arms.
âThe villain has used his Quirk for illegal activity!â Kamui Woods announced, his voice sharp and commanding. âIâll put an end to this quickly!â
With a flick of his wrist, he launched Lacquered Chain Prison, binding the massive villain in place.
Izukuâs grip on his notebook tightened, scribbling furiously. First appearance of Lacquered Chain Prisonârestraint-based Quirk, likely strong against brute force opponents!
A thunderous crash echoed across the block.
âCANYON CANNON!â
A blur of red and white streaked across the scene. In an instant, the giant villain was sent crashing to the pavement, knocked out cold.
From the dust emerged a tall, curvaceous woman, hands on her hips, a confident smirk gracing her face.
âCameras ready, boys? Iâm taking over from here!â Mt. Lady declared, flashing a grin at the reporters.
The crowd erupted in cheers. Photographers rushed forward, snapping shots of the new heroineâs grand debut.
Izuku barely noticed. He was still writing, absorbing, analyzing. His eyes darted between heroes, his mind racing.
âAre you aiming to be a hero, kid?â A bystander chuckled beside him.
Izuku looked up, startled, before laughing nervously. âAhâw-well, yeah! I meanâIâll do my best!â
His fingers clenched around the pen.
âEven if I donât have a Quirk, Iââ
His thoughts trailed off.
Somewhere in the back of the crowdâsomeone was watching.
Not cheering. Not taking pictures. Not reacting.
Just watching.
A figure, dressed in the same junior high uniform as Izuku, lingered near the edge of the scene. Their posture was relaxed, yet their head tilted ever so slightlyâlike an owl tracking its prey.
Their gaze, dark and unreadable, flickered in the sunlight.
And thenâthey were gone.
Izuku never noticed.
But had he turnedâhad he looked just a second longerâhe mightâve recognized them.
Mightâve remembered their name.
But he didnât.
Because nobody ever did.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.
chapter 17

The snow crunched underfoot as Team 1ânow dubbed the Tree Squadâstepped into the bustling Christmas tree lot. Twinkling string lights illuminated rows of firs dusted with fresh snow, and the crisp scent of pine hung in the air. For most people, picking out a tree was a joyous occasion. For this group, it was a mission.
âAlright, weâre here to get the biggest and flashiest tree this place has to offer,â Tengen declared, his voice booming with his usual flamboyance. He adjusted his fur-lined coat, standing tall and ready to conquer the holiday season.
âIt has to be one that screams Merry Christmas!â Tanjiro added, holding a carefully curated list of tree requirements. His warm smile contrasted with the chaos brewing behind him.
âWho cares about screaming? Letâs get the one that looks the toughest!â Inosuke yelled, his wild demeanor drawing a few curious looks from passersby.
Bakugo, walking slightly behind the group, scowled. âThis whole thing is stupid. Just grab one and letâs get out of here.â
Despite their wildly different approaches, the groupâs eyes locked on the tree almost simultaneously. It was a towering, perfectly symmetrical spruce with thick, lush branches and a snowy coating that shimmered under the lights. It was the tree of all trees.
âThatâs it,â Tengen said, his voice reverent. âThatâs our tree.â
The squad began making their way toward it when another groupâa family of four armed with determined holiday cheerâstepped in from the other side.
âOh no, no, no,â the mother of the family said, eyeing the tree. âWe saw this one first.â
Tanjiro hesitated, a polite smile on his face. âOh, um, actually, I think weââ
The father stepped forward, cutting him off. âThis treeâs perfect for us. Itâs just the right size for our living room.â
Inosuke growled, stomping forward. âWhat do you mean itâs yours?! I claimed it first!â
âYou didnât even see it until two seconds ago!â one of the kids shot back.
âKid, donât test me!â Inosuke yelled, crouching slightly like he was about to charge.
Tanjiro quickly stepped between them, waving his hands. âWait, wait, wait! Thereâs no need to fight. Iâm sure we can come to an agreementââ
âThereâs no agreement,â the mom said, her hands on her hips. âThis tree is ours.â
âThatâs not happening,â Bakugo growled, his hands starting to spark. âBack off before I make you.â
âBakugo, no!â Tanjiro said, his eyes wide.
Tengen let out a dramatic sigh, stepping forward to take control of the situation. âAlright, enough of this squabbling. This is a matter that requires finesse.â He glanced at Tanjiro, who looked hopeful, then at Inosuke, who was itching for a fight, and finally at Bakugo, who looked moments away from blowing something up.
âBakugo,â Tengen said with a sly smile. âHandle it.â
Bakugoâs grin was immediate and sinister. âGladly.â
Before anyone could react, Bakugo stomped toward the family, hands sparking dangerously as he glared at them. âYouâve got ten seconds to walk away, or Iâm lighting this whole tree lot up!â
The family gasped, immediately backing away in a panic.
âOkay, okay! Take it! Just donât blow anything up!â the mom yelled as they quickly retreated, dragging their kids along.
Bakugo stood triumphantly next to the tree, arms crossed and a smug look on his face. âThatâs how you get stuff done.â
Tanjiro buried his face in his hands. âThat wasnât very Christmas-likeâŠâ
âMaybe not,â Tengen said, already lifting the tree over his shoulder. âBut it was flamboyant. Excellent work, Bakugo.â
âDamn right it was,â Bakugo said, still grinning.
The drive back home was quieter than expected, the massive tree tied securely to the roof of the car. Tanjiro sat in the passenger seat, his list crumpled in his hands as he replayed the events of the tree lot.
âą đ©đđąđđšđ đđ„ âą
The Decor SquadâMomo, Nezuko, Kirishima, and Present Micâpulled into the parking lot of their fifth store, frustration thick in the air. Nezuko quietly nibbled on a candy cane she had picked up at the first store, while Present Mic drummed his fingers on the steering wheel to a beat no one else could hear. Momo sat in the backseat, meticulously organizing a list of decorations they were supposed to pick up: ornaments, garlands, and lights. Kirishima, sitting beside her, looked out the window, trying to stay optimistic.
âIâm sure this one will have what we need!â he said with a grin, though even his unbreakable positivity was beginning to falter.
âIt better,â Momo muttered under her breath, peeking at her phoneâs map to confirm they hadnât strayed too far from the previous store. âWeâve already wasted so much time.â
âWasted time? Nah! Itâs all part of the holiday adventure, baby!â Present Mic exclaimed from the driverâs seat, throwing the car into park. He turned to the group, his signature sunglasses reflecting the storeâs neon sign. âCâmon, letâs make this the one!â
They climbed out of the car, Nezuko trailing behind them, clutching her candy cane. As they walked into the store, a wave of despair washed over the group.
The shelves were bare.
âAre you kidding me?!â Momo exclaimed, staring at the nearly empty aisle where garlands should have been. A single, tattered strand of silver tinsel dangled from a hook as if mocking them.
âThis is worse than the last store,â Kirishima said, scratching the back of his head. He picked up a cracked bauble from the ornament section and frowned. âI mean, we canât put this on the tree. Itâd look so⊠unmanly.â
Nezuko tugged on Momoâs sleeve, pointing at a section of lights, only to reveal that they were all mismatched and half the boxes were open.
âI donât think any of those will even work,â Momo sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.
âAlright! On to the next one!â Present Mic shouted, his energy unwavering. He spun on his heel and marched back toward the car, his long scarf trailing behind him like a banner of hope.
The group piled back into the car, exhaustion starting to set in. Nezuko, now curled up with her knees against her chest, peeked at the others as if wondering how long this would go on.
By the time they hit their eighth store, the mood in the car had shifted from frustration to quiet defeat. Kirishima slouched in his seat, staring out the window. Present Mic hummed softly to himself, trying to keep morale up, while Momo furiously scribbled notes in her notebook, trying to strategize their next move.
Finally, Kirishima sat up abruptly, his eyes wide as if a light bulb had gone off in his head. He turned to Momo, staring at her with a mix of disbelief and dawning realization.
âMomo,â he said slowly, âwhy didnât you just make ornaments with your quirk?â
The car fell silent.
Momo blinked, her pencil hovering over her notebook. ââŠWhat?â
âYou can literally create stuff,â Kirishima continued, gesturing wildly. âLike, you can make a cannon, but you canât make a Christmas ornament? Why are we even driving around when youâve got the solution inside you?â
Momo stared at him, her expression blank at first. Then, the weight of his words hit her like a freight train. âOh my god,â she whispered. âYouâre right.â
Present Mic slammed the brakes (even though they were already parked). âWait, wait, wait. You mean to tell me weâve been running all over town for no reason?!â
Nezuko, ever the quiet observer, tilted her head in mild confusion, as if to say, Youâre just realizing this now?
âIâI didnât even think about it,â Momo stammered, her cheeks flushing red. âI was so focused on the list and making sure we got everything we needed that Iââ
ââforgot youâre basically a walking Christmas factory,â Kirishima finished, leaning back in his seat with an exasperated laugh.
Present Mic threw his hands in the air. âAlright, problem solved! Back to HQ we go!â
On the drive back, Momo sat quietly, her embarrassment still evident. She had already started sketching designs for ornaments, garlands, and even a star for the top of the tree in her notebook.
Kirishima, now fully back to his cheerful self, leaned over to peek at her drawings. âThose look awesome! See? We didnât need those stores anyway.â
Present Mic turned up the radio, a Christmas song blaring through the car as he drove. âLetâs just pretend this was the plan all along, yeah? No one has to know!â
Nezuko, now munching on a fresh candy cane she had somehow acquired, nodded sagely in agreement.
As they pulled up to the house, Kirishima grinned at Momo. âHey, at least we got to bond, right? And now youâre gonna make the most manly decorations ever.â
Momo couldnât help but smile, despite herself. âThanks, Kirishima. Next time, Iâll try to think things through a bit more.â
âNext time,â Present Mic chimed in, âletâs just stay home and skip the wild goose chase altogether!â
The group laughed as they grabbed their things and headed inside, ready to make up for lost time and finish decorating.
âą đ©đđąđđšđ đđ„ âą
Team 3â(Y/N), Muichiro, Aizawa, and Zenitsuâpiled into the car with their mission clear: replenish the snacks, restock the hot cocoa, and salvage the holiday cheer. As the car rumbled down the snowy road, the atmosphere was a mix of determination and quiet dread, mostly fueled by Zenitsuâs near-constant rambling.
âWhy me? Why do I have to go? Hot cocoa isnât even my thing! What if we get attacked by a demon on the way? Or worse, we run into a Karen in the grocery store?â Zenitsu wailed from the backseat, clutching the headrest in front of him like it was a lifeline.
Aizawa, in the driverâs seat, groaned. His scarf was lazily wrapped around his neck, and he was already regretting agreeing to this task. âZenitsu, there are no demons here. Only stressed-out shoppers.â
âAnd thatâs even worse!â Zenitsu shot back. âHave you seen people at the store during the holidays? Itâs a madhouse!â
Muichiro, sitting beside him, stared out the window, his expression calm as ever. âIf weâre attacked, (Y/N) can handle it. Theyâve got Bakugo-level chaos energy when needed.â
(Y/N), sitting in the passenger seat, smirked and glanced back at their brother. âThanks for the vote of confidence, Muichiro. But letâs try not to start any fights. We just need snacks, not a showdown in the frozen food aisle.â
âYeah, try telling that to Zenitsu,â Muichiro muttered under his breath, earning a dramatic gasp from Zenitsu.
The first grocery store was exactly as chaotic as Zenitsu had feared. People swarmed the aisles like vultures, snatching up the last of the holiday goodies. The shelves looked as though a tornado had passed through, with half-empty boxes of candy canes and torn-open hot cocoa packets scattered everywhere.
âGreat,â (Y/N) muttered, surveying the wreckage. âThis is worse than I expected.â
âI told you!â Zenitsu whispered urgently, sticking close to Aizawa like a nervous child. âThis is a nightmare! Weâll never find what we need here!â
Muichiro wandered ahead, his expression unreadable as he scanned the shelves. He picked up a lone bag of marshmallows and held it up for inspection. âAt least weâve got these,â he said.
(Y/N) shook their head. âWeâre going to need more than just marshmallows, Muichiro.â
By the time they reached the third store, tensions were high. Zenitsu was on edge, clutching a shopping basket like it was a weapon. Muichiro had taken it upon himself to grab anything that looked remotely useful, including an industrial-sized canister of whipped cream that no one asked for. Aizawa trailed behind them, looking like he was seconds away from curling up in the pet food aisle and taking a nap.
âOkay,â (Y/N) said, clapping their hands together. âWeâre dividing and conquering. Zenitsu, you grab the hot cocoa mix. Muichiro, find the snacks. Iâll get the drinks. Aizawa⊠supervise.â
Aizawa gave a half-hearted nod, his scarf twitching slightly as if to say, Fine.
Zenitsu darted off, weaving through the crowd like his life depended on it. He reappeared minutes later, clutching not one, but four boxes of hot cocoa mix. âJust in case!â he said defensively when (Y/N) raised an eyebrow.
Meanwhile, Muichiroâs âsnack collectionâ turned out to be both impressive and baffling. He returned with chips, cookies, and what appeared to be an entire section of Japanese candy. âI thought it would be fun to mix things up,â he said when Aizawa gave him a tired look.
The chaos truly began at the checkout line. Zenitsu, jittery as ever, managed to drop one of the boxes of cocoa mix, sending packets skidding across the floor. (Y/N) sighed, kneeling to gather them up, only to be cut off by a harried shopper trying to push their cart through.
âExcuse me!â the shopper snapped, glaring down at (Y/N).
Zenitsuâs eyes went wide, and he backed up, muttering, âOh no, oh no, itâs happening. Itâs happening!â
Muichiro stepped in, his calm demeanor masking the slight edge to his tone. âYou could at least wait a moment. Weâll be out of your way soon enough.â
The shopper scoffed. âKids these days have no respect.â
(Y/N) rose to their feet, cocoa packets in hand, and offered a tight-lipped smile. âWeâre just trying to finish our shopping like everyone else. How about a little holiday spirit, huh?â
The shopper opened their mouth to retort, but Aizawa appeared behind (Y/N), his towering presence and perpetually tired expression enough to make anyone think twice. âLetâs keep moving,â he said, his voice low and firm.
The shopper huffed and pushed their cart away, leaving Zenitsu to collapse against a nearby shelf in relief. âI thought we were done for,â he whispered dramatically.
(Y/N) rolled their eyes. âItâs hot cocoa, Zenitsu, not the apocalypse.â
By the time they made it back to the car, the group was weighed down with bags of snacks, drinks, and more whipped cream than anyone could reasonably use. As Aizawa started the engine, (Y/N) glanced back at their brother.
âYou know, Muichiro,â they said, holding up the massive canister of whipped cream, âthis is a bit overkill.â
Muichiro shrugged. âItâs festive.â
Zenitsu, now munching on a candy bar he had snagged during checkout, nodded in agreement. âHonestly, itâs the most useful thing we got. Whatâs hot cocoa without whipped cream?â
Aizawa sighed deeply as he pulled out of the parking lot. âRemind me never to agree to this again.â
âAw, câmon, Aizawa-sensei,â (Y/N) said with a grin. âWe crushed it. Snacks secured. Cocoa stocked. Mission accomplished.â
Zenitsu leaned forward, pointing at the road ahead. âYeah, and we didnât even have to fight anyone! Well, not really.â
Aizawa groaned. âI need coffee.â
The group chuckled as they drove back home, their bags full and their spirits â well mostly intact. The Food Squad had succeeded, chaos and all.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.
chapter 16
authors note : this was a Christmas special that I wrote over the course of 3 days, I know Christmas passed but Iâve been busy and having fun :)
masterlist
The warm glow of a fireplace flickered through the kitchen as the lively chatter of friends and family filled the air, blending with the heavenly aroma of baking cookies and simmering hot cocoa. Snow gently fell outside, blanketing the world in pristine white, but inside the TokitĆ household, the atmosphere was a blend of warmth, cheer, and just a hint of chaos.
âDonât forget to sift the flour, Muichiro!â (Y/N) instructed, carefully pouring brown sugar into a mixing bowl. His movements were calm and deliberate, in stark contrast to his younger brother, whose attention seemed to drift as he stared out the window, mesmerized by the falling snow.
âI know, I know,â Muichiro replied absentmindedly, though his hands mechanically sifted the flour into the bowl. He was quiet as always, but there was a faint smile tugging at his lips.
(Y/N) shook his head, amused. âIf you zone out and mix this wrong, weâll have rocks instead of cookies.â
From across the kitchen, Tanjiro Kamado chuckled as he stirred a pot of steaming hot cocoa on the stove. âYou two make a good team. Nezuko, donât forget the marshmallows!â
Nezuko, her pink ribbon tied neatly in her hair, grinned brightly as she placed a jar of marshmallows on the counter. Though she didnât speak, her expression radiated holiday cheer as she handed the jar to Tanjiro.
âWow, youâre really on top of things, Nezuko,â complimented Suma, one of Tengen Uzuiâs wives. Her cheerful voice cut through the bustling kitchen, where she stood alongside Makio and Hinatsuru. âUnlike Tengen, who somehow managed to burn toast this morning!â
âHey, hey, donât ruin my reputation in front of the kids!â Tengen retorted dramatically, crossing his arms and leaning casually against the counter. âBesides, Iâm just here to supervise all this âflamboyantâ holiday spirit.â
Makio rolled her eyes, wiping her hands on her apron. âSure you are.â
âCan you all focus? These cookies wonât bake themselves,â (Y/N) said with a hint of exasperation, though his tone remained light. He passed Muichiro a whisk before moving to grab the chocolate chips.
Muichiro blinked, his gaze following his older brother. âWhatâs Christmas even about again?â
(Y/N) paused mid-step, turning to his brother with a rare softness in his gaze. âItâs about spending time with the people you care about and creating memories together. Like this.â
Muichiro tilted his head, pondering his brotherâs words, while Tanjiro beamed. âExactly! Itâs about giving, kindness, and sharing joy.â
The door to the kitchen swung open suddenly, letting in a burst of cold air and raucous laughter. In walked Izuku Midoriya, his cheeks flushed from the cold, followed by Eijiro Kirishima and Katsuki Bakugo.
âMan, it smells amazing in here!â Kirishima exclaimed, rubbing his hands together. He immediately gravitated toward the tray of cookies waiting to go into the oven. âWhat are you guys making?â
âCookies,â Muichiro said plainly, stirring the batter in the bowl.
âHot cocoa too,â Tanjiro added with a warm smile, motioning to the pot.
âHands off the tray, Kirishima,â (Y/N) said without looking up, his tone firm but not unkind. âTheyâre not done yet.â
âAw, come on, man! Youâre making it impossible not to sneak one.â
âFocus on not breaking the tray with your manly enthusiasm,â (Y/N) retorted dryly, earning a laugh from Tengen.
âOi, quit fooling around!â Bakugo barked, scowling at the scene. âIf weâre eating, weâre eating now. I didnât come here to stand around!â
âBakugo!â Izuku scolded, his hands flailing nervously. âDonât be rude!â
âYou guys just got here,â (Y/N) said coolly, leveling Bakugo with a sharp look. âYouâll wait like everyone else.â
The tension between the two boys was palpable until Muichiro suddenly held out a spoon covered in cookie dough to Bakugo. âWant some?â
Caught off guard, Bakugo blinked at the offering before grumbling and snatching the spoon. âTch. Fine.â
As the laughter and chatter resumed, the kitchen once again filled with the comforting sounds of holiday preparation. Tengen clapped his hands together, his voice booming over the noise. âAlright, letâs wrap this up, people! Weâve got a feast to prepare, and it better be as flamboyant as it gets!â
(Y/N) rolled his eyes, but a small smile tugged at his lips. For now, all was peaceful, and the warmth of the season brought everyone together, even if only for a little while.
The camaraderie in the kitchen spread like wildfire, spilling into the adjoining rooms where the rest of the guests had gathered. Snow continued to fall outside, but inside, the festive energy was unmatched. The gentle clinking of plates, the hum of cheerful conversation, and the occasional burst of laughter created an ambiance that was both comforting and nostalgic.
As (Y/N) slid a tray of freshly prepared cookies into the oven, he turned to find Nezuko holding a small tray of marshmallows toward him. She gestured to the pot of hot cocoa, her eyes wide with excitement.
âFine, fine,â (Y/N) said, relenting to her silent request. He carefully picked up a handful of marshmallows and dropped them into the mugs Tanjiro was filling. âHappy now?â
Nezuko nodded enthusiastically before scurrying back to Tanjiroâs side.
âMan, sheâs adorable,â Kirishima said, leaning against the counter. âThis whole scene feels like one of those picture-perfect holiday movies. Makes me want to do this every year.â
âSpeak for yourself,â Bakugo muttered, though he was still munching on the cookie dough Muichiro had handed him earlier.
Just then, a crash echoed from the living room, followed by Zenitsuâs panicked voice. âI-I swear I didnât mean to do it!â
âZenitsu!â Inosukeâs boisterous yell followed. âYou broke the star, you idiot!â
(Y/N) pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling heavily. âWhat did they do now?â
Tanjiro sighed but smiled apologetically. âIâll go check.â
Before he could take a step, Tengen raised a hand. âLet me handle it. Iâve got three wives; Iâm used to cleaning up chaos.â He winked, and his wives all rolled their eyes in unison.
As Tengen strode out of the kitchen to handle the mess, Muichiro turned to (Y/N), his expression as calm as ever. âDo you think theyâll actually fix it, or should we just expect more noise?â
âMore noise,â (Y/N) replied without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Izuku stood awkwardly by the counter, observing the cheerful scene with a soft smile. âItâs amazing how close you all are. Itâs like⊠youâve always been a family.â
(Y/N) glanced at him, his expression neutral but not unkind. âThatâs what happens when you fight to protect one another. Bonds are forged through fire.â
Izuku nodded thoughtfully, taking those words to heart.
âAlright, enough standing around!â Tengenâs voice boomed as he returned, dragging Zenitsu and Inosuke behind him. âThe starâs fixed, and the tree looks flamboyant! Now letâs eat!â
Cheers erupted as the cookies were finally placed on a large platter, the hot cocoa poured into mugs, and everyone gathered around the table. The room was filled with a harmonious mix of voices from different walks of lifeâHashira, students, and heroes alike.
As they all sat together, Tanjiro raised his mug. âTo family, friends, and the bonds we share. Merry Christmas, everyone!â
A chorus of âMerry Christmas!â followed, and for that moment, all worries and struggles were forgotten.
From the corner of the room, (Y/N) quietly sipped his cocoa, a rare smile tugging at his lips. Muichiro sat beside him, leaning against his older brother, his expression peaceful.
For once, everything felt right⊠or maybe not.
The peace didnât last long.
It started innocently enoughâa stray spark from the fireplace, unnoticed amidst the laughter and clinking mugs. But then Inosuke, in his boundless enthusiasm, decided to show off his âdecorating skillsâ by trying to climb the Christmas tree to hang an extra ornament at the very top.
âGet down from there, you idiot!â Zenitsu screeched, flailing his arms.
âYouâre just jealous of my superior skills!â Inosuke roared back, one foot kicking wildly against the garland.
Before anyone could intervene, his reckless movement knocked over a lit candle from the nearby mantle. Time seemed to slow as the flame met the tree, the dry pine needles catching in an instant.
âFIRE!â Kaminari shouted, pointing dramatically.
The room descended into chaos. Nezuko jumped up, Tanjiro desperately fanned the flames with his hands, and Tengen shouted, âGrab the extinguisher!â But it was too lateâthe tree was engulfed, and the smoke alarm blared overhead.
âEveryone out!â Aizawaâs voice cut through the panic. His scarf whipped out, pulling Kaminari and Zenitsu by the backs of their shirts and dragging them toward the door.
Outside in the snow, everyone shivered as they watched the tree collapse into a smoldering heap.
âWell,â Tengen said, clapping his hands together. âThere goes Christmas.â
âNot on my watch!â Kirishima said, his voice brimming with determination. âWe can save this! We just need a new tree, more decorations, and maybe some extra food.â
âIâll drive,â Tengen declared confidently, pulling out his keys.
âNo, youâll just make it worse,â Aizawa deadpanned. âWeâll split into teams. Divide and conquer.â
âGreat idea!â Tanjiro agreed. âWe can each take a different car and get what we need.â
The group quickly organized into teams:
      âąÂ      Team 1 (Tree Squad): Tanjiro, Inosuke, Bakugo, and Tengen. Their mission? Find the biggest and most flamboyant tree available.
      âąÂ      Team 2 (Decor Squad): Momo, Nezuko, Kirishima, and Present Mic. They were in charge of ornaments, garlands, and lights.
      âąÂ      Team 3 (Food Squad): (Y/N), Muichiro, Aizawa, and Zenitsu. Their task was to restock on snacks, hot cocoa, and anything else that had been ruined in the chaos.
The teams piled into separate cars, the adults taking the driverâs seats.
âLetâs make this the manliest Christmas ever!â Kirishima shouted, fist-pumping from the passenger seat of Present Micâs van.
âIâLL FIND THE BEST TREE!â Inosuke bellowed from the back of Tengenâs flashy SUV.
âI donât trust any of you,â Aizawa muttered, rubbing his temple as he turned the key in the ignition. (Y/N) sat silently beside him, arms crossed, while Muichiro leaned against the window, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the chaos.
As the cars sped off in different directions, the snow fell heavier, and the countdown to saving Christmas officially began.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.
breathing forms (not a chapter)
1. First Form: Mist Bloom : The First Form, Mist Bloom, is the foundation of (Y/N)âs Mist Breathing techniques. It emphasizes precision and overwhelming speed to confuse and disorient opponents.
Description :Â When (Y/N) uses Mist Bloom, his movements blur, creating an illusion of multiple afterimages around him. The technique involves a flurry of swift, shallow strikes delivered in rapid succession, each strike seemingly coming from a different angle. This creates the visual effect of âblooming mist,â where his attacks are as unpredictable and ephemeral as mist itself.
Capabilities Include :
Speed and Deception :Â Mist Bloom leverages blinding speed to make it difficult for opponents to track (Y/N)âs movements. The afterimages confuse and distract, making it almost impossible for them to anticipate where the real attack will land.
Precision Attacks :Â The strikes are not randomâthey are carefully aimed at the opponentâs weak points or openings, ensuring maximum damage while minimizing energy expenditure.
Utility in Combat :Â Mist Bloom is ideal for overwhelming opponents or defending against multiple attackers. It also works well as a countermeasure, exploiting the smallest mistakes in an enemyâs defense.
âąâąâą
2. Second Form: Mist Crescent : The Second Form, Mist Crescent, is a more direct and offensive technique compared to Mist Bloom, focusing on delivering a single, devastating strike.
Description :Â In Mist Crescent, (Y/N) channels his breathing into a fluid, arcing swing of his weapon (or in this case, a stick). The arc of the strike generates a concentrated wave of mist-like energy that travels outward in a crescent shape. The mist created by this technique is so dense that it obscures the userâs position while simultaneously disorienting the enemy.
Capabilities Include :
Ranged Attack : The crescent-shaped wave of energy travels several meters, making this an effective mid-range attack. It is powerful enough to cut through obstacles or even strike multiple targets in its path.
Obscuring Mist : The dense mist released by the swing cloaks (Y/N)âs immediate area, making it hard for opponents to see or pinpoint his location. This mist can linger momentarily, offering both offensive and defensive utility.
Raw Power : Mist Crescent is less about speed and more about sheer destructive power. The swing carries enough force to break through defenses or knock opponents off balance.
Shockwave Effect: The strikeâs force generates a shockwave that can destabilize the terrain or send debris flying, further adding to its disorienting effect.
âąâąâą
3. Third Form: Mist Flash : The Third Form: Mist Flash is a high-speed, single-target offensive technique that combines incredible agility with precise execution. It is designed for situations where (Y/N) needs to close the distance between himself and his opponent in the blink of an eye, delivering a critical strike before they even have a chance to react.
Description :Â When activating Mist Flash, (Y/N)âs body vanishes from view, shrouded in a sudden burst of mist. The technique allows him to move at an explosive speed toward his opponent, seemingly âflashingâ from one point to another. The move is completed with a single, calculated strike aimed at a vital point, leaving behind a lingering trail of mist in his wake.
Capabilities Include :
Blinding Speed :Â Mist Flash allows (Y/N) to travel short distances almost instantaneously, making it difficult for enemies to track his movement. It is ideal for ambushing opponents or evading an incoming attack before countering with a precise strike.
Pinpoint Accuracy :Â The technique focuses on delivering a single, powerful strike to the enemyâs weak point, ensuring maximum damage with minimal effort. It is particularly effective against enemies with slower reaction times or those caught off-guard.
Disorienting Mist :Â The sudden burst of mist that accompanies the move not only conceals (Y/N)âs position but also disrupts the enemyâs vision and focus. The mist lingers momentarily, obscuring (Y/N)âs location even after the strike is complete, allowing him to retreat or set up another attack.
Utility in Combat : Mist Flash is excellent for one-on-one combat, especially against stronger opponents who rely on brute force. It can also be used to bypass enemy defenses or barriers, enabling (Y/N) to land a decisive blow.

4. Fourth Form: Blessed Mist : The Fourth Form: Blessed Mist is a technique in the Mist Breathing style, which (Y/N) has mastered through rigorous training. Mist Breathing is known for its reliance on swift, unpredictable movements and creating illusions to disorient opponents. Blessed Mist embodies these principles by blending immense speed with precise, controlled force to enhance attacks or actions.
Description : The Fourth Form: Blessed Mist is a technique designed to amplify both speed and control by cloaking the user in a dense, swirling mist that obscures their exact movements. The technique creates the illusion that the user is moving in multiple directions at once, making them difficult to track. While primarily a combat technique, it is highly adaptable and can enhance the effectiveness of various physical tasks.
Capabilities of Fourth Form: Blessed Mist:
Burst of Speed :Â The user generates a sudden surge of speed that makes their movements almost imperceptible to the naked eye. This burst is not only visually disorienting but also allows for rapid and powerful actions to be executed in an instant.
Control over Momentum :Â The swirling mist doesnât just serve as a visual distractionâit allows the user to channel their movements with incredible precision. This ensures that every ounce of effort is directed toward the intended target, whether itâs cutting down an opponent.
Illusion of Multiplicity :Â The mist creates afterimages of the userâs movements, making it seem as though they are striking or acting from multiple directions at once. This effect confuses opponents or observers, leaving them unsure of the userâs exact location.
Force Amplification :Â The momentum generated by the user during this technique is highly concentrated. By combining speed and precision, the userâs attacksâor in this case, the throwâcarry much more force than what is physically apparent.
âąâąâą
5. Fifth Form: Shrouded Tempest :Â Shrouded Tempest : Creates a swirling mist vortex that blinds and disorients enemies while providing (Y/N) with enhanced perception. It is both a defensive barrier and an offensive tool, overwhelming multiple enemies simultaneously.
Description :Â Shrouded Tempest is a defensive and offensive technique that creates a swirling vortex of mist around (Y/N). This mist obscures visibility for his enemies while enhancing his ability to perceive movements within it. The technique is particularly useful in overwhelming groups of enemies or turning the tide of battle when outnumbered.
Capabilities Include :
360-Degree Defense :Â The swirling mist acts as a protective barrier, deflecting weaker projectiles and disorienting enemies trying to close the distance.
Enhanced Perception :Â While enemies are blinded by the thick mist, (Y/N) gains heightened awareness of movements within the vortex, allowing him to predict and counter attacks.
Group Suppression :Â The expanding vortex spreads rapidly, enveloping multiple enemies at once and making it nearly impossible for them to pinpoint (Y/N)âs location.
 Debilitating Mist : The swirling mist is infused with high-speed strikes as (Y/N) moves unpredictably within it, landing precise cuts that slowly whittle down his opponents.
âąâąâą
6. Sixth Form: Lunar Drift : Focuses on evasive, fluid movements that allow (Y/N) to dodge and counter with precision. Its unpredictable gliding motion confuses enemies, turning their aggression into openings for devastating counterattacks.
Description :Â Lunar Drift focuses on evasion and counterattack. (Y/N) appears to âglideâ across the battlefield like moonlight on water, moving unpredictably to dodge enemy strikes while setting up his counterattack. This form embodies the ethereal grace of Mist Breathing, allowing him to outmaneuver even the most relentless foes.
Capabilities Include :
Unpredictable Movement :Â (Y/N)âs movements are smooth and erratic, making it almost impossible for enemies to predict his position.
Perfect Counters :Â Lunar Drift creates opportunities to exploit enemy openings, as (Y/N) can flow effortlessly into precise counterattacks after dodging.
Momentum Control :Â The technique uses the enemyâs aggression against them by redirecting their momentum into devastating strikes.
Sustained Evasion :Â (Y/N) can maintain this form for extended periods, allowing him to outlast opponents who rely on stamina or brute strength.
âąâąâą
7. Seventh Form: Ethereal Shroud :Â Cloaks (Y/N) in a dense, luminous mist that makes him nearly invisible and silent. This form creates afterimages and illusions, allowing him to strike from hidden angles with lethal precision while evading detection.
Description :Â Ethereal Shroud is a high-level technique that envelops (Y/N) in a thick, luminous mist that distorts both his appearance and presence. Within the shroud, (Y/N) becomes nearly impossible to detect, allowing him to strike from unexpected angles with unparalleled precision. This form is ideal for assassinations or turning the tide in a difficult battle.
Capabilities Include :
Invisibility in Motion :Â The luminous mist refracts light and sound, rendering (Y/N) almost invisible and silent as he moves.
Untraceable Strikes :Â Attacks launched from within the shroud are nearly impossible to predict or counter, as enemies canât locate the source.
Overwhelming Illusions :Â The mist creates afterimages and phantom attacks, confusing opponents and forcing them to waste energy defending against feints.
Enhanced Lethality :Â The form allows (Y/N) to focus all his energy into swift, precise strikes that target vital points, maximizing damage with minimal effort.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.

The machine calculating (Y/N)âs throw began to whir and beep, its internal mechanisms straining as if it couldnât process what had just happened. Then, with a loud sputter, it froze, the screen flashing a single word in bold, blinking letters: ERROR.
The class erupted.
âHoly crap, he broke the machine!â Kaminari shouted, eyes wide with awe. âThatâs insane! What kind of Quirk does he even have?â
âThat was so manly!â Kirishima exclaimed, his hands on his hips as he beamed at (Y/N). âYou gotta tell me your secret, dude! Thatâs next-level strength right there!â
âManly?!â Bakugo snapped, his voice cutting through the excitement like a blade. He stomped toward (Y/N), fury blazing in his eyes. âThat wasnât manly! That was freakish! What the hell was that, huh?! You think youâre hot shit just âcause you broke a stupid machine?â
(Y/N), as calm as ever, ignored him completely. The faint traces of mist that lingered around his shoulders continued to dissipate as he walked back to his place beside Izuku, the stick still loosely balanced in his hand. As Bakugoâs tirade grew louder, (Y/N) cast him a sidelong glance and muttered, âFocus on yourself, brat.â
The low, steady tone carried enough weight to cut through Bakugoâs yelling, silencing him momentarily. His face twisted in anger, but he didnât move, his hands trembling with frustration as (Y/N) continued walking without looking back.
âDudeâŠâ Kaminari muttered again, still staring at the broken machine. âIs he even human?â
Momo stood silently, her gaze fixed on (Y/N). Unlike the others, her awe was tempered with thought, her mind racing as she replayed the moment of his throw. âThat technique,â she whispered to herself, her brows furrowing in confusion. âThat wasnât a quirk⊠Was it?â
Her words went unheard amid the excited chatter of their classmates, but her thoughts continued to spiral. There was something eerily familiar about his movementsâthe precision, the fluidity, the power. She wasnât certain, but her instincts told her that this wasnât a result of some flashy, powerful quirk. This was something else entirely.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered the possibilities. Could he be⊠a descendant of the Mist Hashira? The thought felt absurd, yet it lingered, refusing to leave her mind. If that were the case, it explained the refined, almost ancient technique, but it also raised even more questions.
As the class buzzed with speculation, Momo stayed rooted in place, her lips pressed into a thin line. Her gaze followed (Y/N), her admiration and confusion growing in equal measure. She couldnât shake the feeling that there was far more to him than what he let on.
Her eyes lingered on his retreating figure as a thought surfaced in her mind, clear and resolute :
TokitĆ (Y/N)⊠youâre a mystery I canât wait to solve.
âą đ©đđąđđšđ đđ„ âą
The teachersâ lounge was abuzz with discussion, the usual hum of casual banter replaced by something far more focused. Gathered around a large screen displaying the recorded footage from Aizawaâs training session, UAâs teaching staff sat in rapt attention, each of them visibly intrigued by what they had just witnessed.
On the screen, TokitĆ (Y/N) stood poised, mist curling around his frame, the ball flying into the horizon with an otherworldly precision and power. The footage paused on that moment, the faint remnants of mist still visible, clinging to him like a cloak.
Principal Nezu, perched comfortably on a chair far too large for his small frame, clasped his paws together. His sharp, intelligent eyes swept over the room. âThoughts?â he asked, his calm yet curious voice breaking the silence. âI think we can all agree that this was⊠unconventional.â
âItâs not a Quirk,â Midnight said confidently, leaning back in her chair with arms crossed. âAt least not in any way Iâve seen before. The way he movedâit was like something out of a martial arts film.â
âYeah, but did you see that ball fly?â Present Mic added, leaning forward with an exaggerated motion. âThat wasnât just skill; that was raw power. So what gives? Is he Quirkless, or are we missing something here?â He turned to Aizawa with a grin. âWell, whatâs your take on the kid, Shota?â
Aizawa shot his best friend a tired look, his tone flat but edged with irritation. âHizashi, use my last name at work.â
Present Mic raised his hands defensively, grinning sheepishly. âRight, right. My bad.â
Aizawa sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. âFrom what I observed today, the kid doesnât use a Quirk. His physical ability is well beyond that of a normal person, but I didnât detect any trace of quirk, I admit I did use my quirk on him to test my own theory. He completed all the tests without showing any signs of external augmentationâno visible abilities, no mutations. Iâm just as surprised as you all but the kids actually quirkless.â
âThe way he moved though, it wasnât that of a few months of trainingâ the way he reacted to the tests, how he handled and overcame them with better scores than even All Might in his younger days here at UA, it was refined to a degree Iâve never seen in someone his age.â
Ectoplasm tilted his head thoughtfully. âIf he doesnât have a Quirk, how is he capable of something like that?â
âThatâs the mystery,â Aizawa said, leaning back in his chair. âHeâs deliberate, precise. He doesnât waste movements or energy, and he doesnât react to provocation like most students would. I wouldnât say heâs unapproachable, but he keeps himself at armâs length from everyone, even when theyâre trying to connect with him. Thereâs a discipline about him I donât see often.â
âDiscipline like that comes from somewhere,â Snipe chimed in, his voice steady. âIâd bet money heâs had some kind of training long before he stepped foot in UA.â
âNot just any training,â Power Loader added, adjusting his helmet. âWhatever heâs learned, itâs leagues ahead of what most pros know. That technique with the mistâit wasnât just a fluke. That was mastery.â
âDo you think itâs possible heâs holding back?â Cementoss asked, his deep voice rumbling through the room. âIf heâs capable of that much, whoâs to say weâve seen his full potential?â
âI donât think heâs holding back in the way youâre imagining,â Aizawa replied, crossing his arms. âHeâs careful, methodical. If anything, Iâd say heâs hiding something, but not out of malice. More like⊠necessity. He knows exactly what heâs capable of, and he chooses to act only when necessary.â
Nezu steepled his paws, his expression unreadable as he contemplated the reports and the footage. âItâs rare for someone Quirkless to achieve such a level of mastery, especially at such a young age. But itâs not impossible. Humanityâs potential often surprises me.â
âSo, what do we do?â Sekijiro Kan asked, his arms crossed over his massive chest. âThe kidâs clearly not ordinary, Quirk or no Quirk.â
âWe keep an eye on him,â Nezu said decisively, his tone calm but firm. âThereâs more to TokitĆ (Y/N) than meets the eye. If he truly is Quirkless, then heâs a remarkable anomaly. If heâs not⊠well, we need to know. Either way, his presence here at UA warrants close observation.â
Midnight smirked, leaning forward. âAnd if heâs hiding something?â
âThen weâll find out in due time,â Nezu replied with a faint smile. âBut for now, letâs allow him the chance to show us who he is on his own terms. Patience, everyone. Patience.â
As the teachers nodded in agreement, Present Mic leaned closer to Aizawa, lowering his voice. âMan, Shota, youâve got a real puzzle on your hands this year.â
Aizawa gave a faint, almost imperceptible shrug. âIâve dealt with worse. Letâs just hope he doesnât blow up half the school before the semester ends. Lord knows I donât need any more problem children under my eye.â
The room chuckled lightly, but the intrigue surrounding (Y/N) remained palpable. As the discussion wrapped up, Nezuâs sharp gaze lingered on the frozen image of (Y/N) on the screen, his expression thoughtful.
âTokitĆ (Y/N),â he murmured softly to himself. âA mystery worth unraveling.â
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.

The air was thick with tension as the final test of the day, the ball throw, loomed over the group.
So far, (Y/N) TokitĆ had performed with unnerving precision, acing every test without breaking a sweat. From the long jump to the grip strength challenge, his movements had been calculated, almost graceful, yet carried a quiet ferocity that left his classmates speechless.Â
He neither celebrated his successes nor gloated about his performances, instead standing silently at the edge of the group, as though he were watching but not truly present. In other wordsâ he stood as stiff as a raging boner on 3 honeypacks.
Note : Something my bf did once and then told me about once I woke up from my nap and bragged about how he could now control itâ it being his boner like the avatar. In short, heâs specialâŠed but special nonetheless.
His classmates couldnât help but buzz with questions and curiosity about the mysterious new addition. They all had quirks, and some of them were powerful, but (Y/N) seemed to operate on a different level altogether.
Bakugo, for one, looked ready to explode, his fiery glare fixated on (Y/N) with a mix of suspicion and seething frustration. Izuku stood beside (Y/N), quietly observing, knowing better than anyone that his classmateâs abilities were not as simple as they seemed.
From within the crowd, a red-haired boy with a broad grin pushed forward. His fiery personality was as evident as the spiky hair on his head, and he approached (Y/N) with a hand outstretched, his movements full of confidence and cheer.
âYo, that was awesome, man! Iâm Eijiro Kirishima. Nice to meet you!â he said, his tone radiating friendliness. âYouâve gotta have an insane quirk to ace all these tests like that. Thatâs seriously manly!â
(Y/N) glanced at him for a moment, his expression unreadable. He neither shook Kirishimaâs hand nor offered a reply. Instead, his gaze slid past the red-haired boy as if he hadnât spoken at all.
Kirishimaâs grin faltered just slightly, though he didnât seem offended. Before he could try again, Izuku, standing nearby, jumped in nervously. âAh, sorry about him! Heâs not really the talkative type.â Izuku offered Kirishima a nervous smile, scratching the back of his neck. âIâm Izuku Midoriya, by the way, and this is (Y/N) TokitĆ. Itâs nice to meet you!â
Kirishimaâs grin returned at full strength, and he crossed his arms, looking at (Y/N) with newfound curiosity. âMan, youâre mysterious! Whatâs your quirk? I mean, the way youâve been tearing through these testsââ
(Y/N) didnât respond, his attention still fixed on the testing field, his posture relaxed but focused. The silence stretched for a moment before Kirishimaâs gaze shifted to Izuku, waiting for an answer on his behalf. Izuku opened his mouth, stammering slightly as he tried to think of what to say without revealing too much, but before he could get the words out, Aizawaâs voice cut through the conversation.
âTokitĆ. Youâre up,â the teacher called, his tone as dry and unimpressed as ever. âHurry it up, problem child. We donât have all day.â
Before stepping up to the throwing circle, (Y/N)âs gaze briefly wandered across the training ground. Though he hadnât been permitted to carry his sword on campus, his instincts demanded a substitute. A small glimmer caught his eyeâa sturdy stick, roughly the length of a katana, lying near the edge of the testing area.
He walked over, his movements lazy and almost cat like, he picked it up with a quiet certainty. For anyone else, it was just a stick. But in his hands, it became somethingâa tool, an extension of his person, or in this situation a substitute weapon in place of his katana.
As he returned to the testing circle, he picked up the ball without a word, holding it loosely in his hand. His movements were measured, and though he didnât radiate the explosive power of someone like Bakugo, there was an undeniable weight to his presence. He rested the stick casually against his shoulder, as though its presence gave him balance, and turned his focus toward the task at hand.
The group of students fell silent as (Y/N) once more stepped forward, the eyes of his classmates following him with eager anticipation. The weight of their stares didnât seem to faze him. He moved with a calm, deliberate confidence, his sword-like focus making it clear that he was entirely in control.
He picked up the ball without a word, holding it loosely in his hand.
The class continued to watch in rapt silence as (Y/N) stood at the ready, his gaze locked on the distant horizon. Then, softly, so quietly that only those standing close by could hear, he murmured,
âFourth Form: Blessed Mist.â
And then, nothing. The world seemed to hold its breath.
âą đđ€đȘđ§đ©đ đđ€đ§đą : đđĄđđšđšđđ đąđđšđ© đđŁđđ€đ§đąđđ©đđ€đŁ âą
The Fourth Form: Blessed Mist is a technique in the Mist Breathing style, which (Y/N) has mastered through rigorous training. Mist Breathing is known for its reliance on swift, unpredictable movements and creating illusions to disorient opponents. Blessed Mist embodies these principles by blending immense speed with precise, controlled force to enhance attacks or actions.
What is the Fourth Form: Blessed Mist?
The Fourth Form: Blessed Mist is a technique designed to amplify both speed and control by cloaking the user in a dense, swirling mist that obscures their exact movements. The technique creates the illusion that the user is moving in multiple directions at once, making them difficult to track. While primarily a combat technique, it is highly adaptable and can enhance the effectiveness of various physical tasks.
Capabilities of Fourth Form : Blessed Mist :
1. Burst of Speed : The user generates a sudden surge of speed that makes their movements almost imperceptible to the naked eye. This burst is not only visually disorienting but also allows for rapid and powerful actions to be executed in an instant.
2. Control over Momentum : The swirling mist doesnât just serve as a visual distractionâit allows the user to channel their movements with incredible precision. This ensures that every ounce of effort is directed toward the intended target, whether itâs cutting down an opponent.
 3. Illusion of Multiplicity : The mist creates afterimages of the userâs movements, making it seem as though they are striking or acting from multiple directions at once. This effect confuses opponents or observers, leaving them unsure of the userâs exact location.
4. Force Amplification :Â The momentum generated by the user during this technique is highly concentrated. By combining speed and precision, the userâs attacksâor in this case, the throwâcarry much more force than what is physically apparent.
âą đđ€đȘđ§đ©đ đđ€đ§đą : đđĄđđšđšđđ đąđđšđ© đđŁđđ€đ§đąđđ©đđ€đŁ đđŁđ âą
The world stilled as the words left (Y/N)âs lips, âFourth Form: Blessed Mist.â
The stick in one hand, the ball in the other, (Y/N) moved. His motion was seamless, almost ethereal, his body flowing like mist itself.
Smooth like butterâŠso fucking smooth.
His classmates blinked, some rubbing their eyes, as his outline seemed to blur, like heat rippling off a summer road. Before anyone could process the shift, (Y/N) swung the stick with precision.
The motion itself was mesmerizingâeffortless.
The moment the stick connected with the ball, the air cracked.Â
A shockwave erupted outward, blasting a gust of wind across the field.Â
Dust swirled and scattered, and the grass near his feet rippled violently under the force.Â
The sound was deafening, a deep, thunderous roar that resonated through the training ground, making some students flinch and others cover their ears.
The ball didnât flyâit disappeared into the horizon. For a moment, it seemed as though it had been swallowed by the mist (Y/N) had conjured, vanishing completely. The air itself seemed to shimmer and distort in its wake, a residual effect of the Breathing Technique.
A faint, silvery mist lingered in the atmosphere, curling and twisting in elegant patterns before dissipating.
It wasnât just the speed or power behind the swingâ the ball had been thrown with such an uncanny force that it carved a faint path through the air, mist-like energy spiraling behind it as if to brag about being the cause of such phenomena. The aftershock of his swing sent leaves from the nearby trees scattering, and the distant hum of the ball tearing through the sky felt like the final note of an unseen symphony.
The group stood frozen, wide-eyed and silent, as the distant sound of the ball finally crashing into the ground echoed faintly from beyond the testing field. For several seconds, no one moved, too stunned to even speak.
Still holding the stick loosely at his side, (Y/N) turned back toward the group with the same calm demeanor as when heâd approached. His expression betrayed nothingâno pride, no smugnessâ after all this was someone who had done this countless times before in the past.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.

Aizawa glanced down at his clipboard, his tired eyes scanning the names. âAlright, TokitĆ, youâre up next.â
(Y/N) shifted from where he had been standing beside Izuku, his expression as unreadable as ever. Without a word, he walked toward the throwing circle, his movements fluid and effortless, almost as if he were gliding. The murmurs of his classmates began to rise again, though none of them dared to speak loud enough for him to hear.
âHeâs gonna do something weird again,â Katsuki muttered, glaring daggers at (Y/N)âs back.
âQuiet, brat,â (Y/N) said without even looking his way, his voice calm yet dismissive, as though Katsukiâs very presence was unworthy of his attention.
Katsukiâs hands sparked, his teeth grinding together in frustration, but Aizawaâs sharp glance kept him in check.
Reaching the circle, (Y/N) crouched slightly, picking up the ball. He turned it over in his hand, his gaze distant as if calculating something far beyond the comprehension of those watching. The class fell into a tense silence, the air seeming to shift as he straightened.
He closed his eyes for a moment, the ball resting lightly in his fingers. Then, barely audible over the stillness, (Y/N) whispered:
âMist Breathing⊠Fourth FormâŠâ
And just like that, the world seemed to hold its breath.
âą đđĄđđšđđđđđ âą
The air was thick with the scent of stone and earth as a younger (Y/N) stood before the towering figure of Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira. Despite his imposing size and the intimidating presence he radiated, Gyomeiâs calm demeanor put (Y/N) at ease, even as he stood in a ready stance, waiting for the first move.
Gyomeiâs blind eyes were fixed on him, though (Y/N) knew that he could see through his senses, every inch of the training ground. The ground trembled slightly as Gyomei shifted his weight, his massive stone axe resting against the dirt. The weight of the weapon was nothing to him, but the sheer size of it was enough to make (Y/N) hesitate.
âYou ready, kid?â Gyomeiâs voice was low, warm, but there was an edge of challenge in it.
(Y/N) nodded, though the pit in his stomach said otherwise. Despite his training, there was a nagging fear that he wasnât prepared for this. Gyomei wasnât just strong â he was a monster, an immovable force. And here (Y/N) was, just a young swordsman trying to prove he was worthy of being one of the Hashira.
Gyomei didnât wait for him to speak. Without a word, he swung the axe down toward (Y/N) in a fluid, controlled motion. The sound of the weapon cutting through the air was deafening.
(Y/N) barely managed to dodge, leaping to the side as the axe slammed into the earth with a force that made the ground shake. His heart was racing, his breath quickening as he regained his balance. It was just the first move, but already, his body was begging him to slow down, to take a breath.
âCome on, boy, donât let your mind wander,â Gyomei rumbled, stepping forward. âFocus. Youâre stronger than you think.â
(Y/N)âs eyes narrowedâ sure he had trained with the other Hashiraâs before, but none were like this.Â
None definitely like Gyomei, who could make a single strike feel like an entire battlefieldâ that man muscles even has muscles.Â
2 words : Fucking scary!
He focused, his hand tightening around his swordâs hilt. Gyomei was moving again, the axe coming toward him, faster than before. This time, (Y/N) didnât dodge⊠he probably shouldâve though.Â
He moved in closer, avoiding the deadly arc of the weapon and closing the distance. He aimed for a strike at Gyomeiâs side, but the Stone Hashiraâs reaction was instantaneous. His huge arm shot out, grabbing (Y/N)âs wrist before the sword could land.
âYouâre too eager,â Gyomei said softly, his grip firm but not painful. âYou have strength, but youâre wasting it by rushing.â
(Y/N) bit back a growl of frustration. He didnât want to hear that. In shortâ in young TokitĆâs mind he done heard âSIKE, get recked bitch.â
He wanted to prove he was capable, wanted to show he could fight like the Hashira. But Gyomei wasnât just teaching him how to fight at the moment, noâ
He was teaching him how to think mid battleâŠ
How to be strategic mid battle⊠because in some casesâ the enemy wonât even give you the time of day to come up with your next move.
Gyomei released him and took a step back, giving (Y/N) a moment to breathe. âStrength comes from patience. From endurance. You wonât outlast me by charging in without a plan.â
The young swordsman tried to steady his breathing, wiping the sweat that was growing from his brow. His body was sore, aching from just the first few minutes of sparring. But Gyomei wasnât done. No, he wasnât going to let him stop.
The next attack came without warning. Gyomei swung the axe with a terrifying speed, but this time, (Y/N) was ready. He danced to the side, using the movement Gyomei had taught him in earlier training â shifting his weight just enough to evade the strike, but not too much to lose his footing.
Gyomei watched him carefully, like a hawk observing its prey. âBetter,â he rumbled, stepping forward again. âBut still not enough. You need more than speed.â
(Y/N) exhaled sharply, stepping back, sweat dripping down his face. His muscles screamed for rest, but he knew this was just the beginning. There was no stopping here. Not when Gyomei was still pushing him, still making him face the overwhelming force of the Stone Hashiraâs strength.
Gyomeiâs voice softened a little, though there was still a challenge in it. âYou have potential, TokitĆ. But donât mistake potential for strength. Strength comes when you can push past your limits, when you can keep going even when you think you canât anymore.â
For a moment, (Y/N) stood there, processing his words. He had always thought strength was just about power, about being fast and strong.Â
But Gyomei was telling him something different noâ showing him something different.
Without a word, Gyomei moved again, this time slower, more deliberate. (Y/N) mirrored his movements, his body flowing with the rhythm of the battle, a dance of dodges and strikes. With every move, he could feel the exhaustion creeping in. His muscles burned, but Gyomei didnât stop, didnât give him a moment of rest.
Then, Gyomei swung again, and this time, (Y/N) didnât just dodge. He parried the blow, pushing against the sheer weight of the axe. It wasnât perfect, but it was enough to deflect it. For the first time, (Y/N) felt like he was taking control of the match.
Gyomei stepped back, his lips curling into a rare smile. âNot bad, kid,â he said, his voice softer now. âNot bad at all. Youâve got the basics down, but thereâs still a long way to go.â
(Y/N) stood tall, chest heaving, sweat soaking through his clothes, but a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. This was what he wanted.
To grow stronger.
To learn from the best.
Gyomeiâs voice echoed in his mind as he caught his breath. âRemember this, TokitĆ: Strength isnât about winning the fight. Itâs about never stopping, no matter how tough it gets. Because the fight never ends.â
To protect those like him and his twin shouldâve been protected.

The memory came like a fleeting shadow sweeping across (Y/N)âs mind as he stood on the UA training grounds. It wasnât often that his thoughts wanderedâhis focus tended to remain in the here and nowâbut this time, the sensation of blinding speed brought him back to a particular moment, years before he ever set foot in this world.
âą đđĄđđšđđđđđ âą
The training field was alive with the sounds of movementâquick, sharp, and rhythmic. The clang of steel echoed through the air, mingling with the light chatter and occasional scolding of Tengen Uzuiâs wives in the background. Tengen himself stood at the center of the chaos, the sun gleaming off his twin blades and his elaborate headpiece as he crossed his arms, smirking at the younger boy standing a few feet away.
(Y/N), younger but no less stoic, stood poised with a wooden training sword in hand, his breaths steady but shallow, a light sheen of sweat gleaming on his forehead. His usually calm demeanor was disrupted by exhaustion that tugged at his limbs.
âAgain,â Tengen commanded, his deep voice cutting through the soundscape like a drumbeat. âYouâre fast, kid, no doubt about it. But if youâre going to make it flashy enough to keep up with me, youâll need more than just speed. Show me precision. Show me style!â
(Y/N) didnât respond, at least not verbally. His blank expression barely shifted as he tightened his grip on the sword, his legs shifting slightly in preparation. He was tiredâbone-tiredâbut he wasnât about to stop now. Not while Uzui was watching.
In a blur of motion, Tengen vanished, his speed so great that even the sound of his sandals hitting the ground was delayed. (Y/N) barely caught the movement in his peripheral vision, his instincts screaming at him to react. He ducked low, narrowly avoiding the edge of Tengenâs blade, and sprang backward, his body moving purely on muscle memory.
âNot bad,â Tengen said, his voice surprisingly close, though his form was now perched on a nearby rock. âBut not good enough!â He lunged again, this time faster, his movements a chaotic symphony of speed and power.
(Y/N) darted to the side, his wooden sword coming up to deflect the strike. The impact rattled through his arms, and he staggered slightly, but he managed to stay upright. The world around him was a blurâeach of Tengenâs movements was a challenge to track, let alone counter.
From the sidelines, Tengenâs wives watched with varying degrees of concern and encouragement.
âHina, look at him! Heâs going to fall over any second!â Suma whined, clutching her hands to her chest. âWe should stop this!â
Makio, far less sympathetic, crossed her arms with a huff. âStop babying him, Suma. Heâs fine. Right, Hina?â
Hina, ever the composed one, placed a calming hand on Sumaâs shoulder. âHeâll be fine. Lord Tengen wouldnât push him if he couldnât handle it. Trust him.â
âNo babying him my lovely wives!â Tengen called out without breaking stride, his voice as commanding as ever yet still respectfulâ because yes, tengen drinks his respect woman juice dailyâŠespecially from the breast of his wives.
âHe doesnât need your pity. What he needs is determination. Isnât that right, young (L/N)?â
(Y/N) didnât answer, but his actions spoke for him. He took a deep breath, his form lowering slightly as he focused. This time, his movements were sharper, quicker, and more deliberate. He surged forward, his wooden sword slicing through the air in a strike aimed at Tengenâs midsection.
The Sound Hashira blocked it easily, though there was a glint of approval in his eyes. âNot bad, kid! But youâre still too slow if you want to match this!â
Tengen moved again, faster than before, his form a blur of color and sound. (Y/N) clenched his jaw, his breathing steadying as he switched tactics. His legs propelled him forward in a burst of speed that left even Tengen momentarily caught off guard. He pivoted at the last second, his sword slashing upward in a motion so fluid and quick that the air itself seemed to ripple.
For a brief moment, (Y/N) moved as if he were soundâhis body a whisper of motion, too fast for the untrained eye to follow.
He landed several feet away, his sword lowered, his breaths heavy but even. The faintest hint of satisfaction flickered across his usually indifferent face.
Tengen, now standing a few paces away, let out a loud, boisterous laugh. âThatâs more like it! I knew you had it in you, young (L/N)! You might even be able to keep up with me one day!â
Before the moment could sink in, the memory fractured, fading away like mist in the wind.
(Y/N)âs gaze refocused, the present coming back into sharp relief. His breathing was as steady as ever, but for the briefest moment, there was the faintest trace of a smile tugging at his lips. It was gone before anyone could notice.
âą đđĄđđšđđđđđ đđŁđ âą
â0.43 seconds,â Aizawa repeated from across the training grounds, his tone as indifferent as ever but his eyes sharp with intrigue.
And for a moment, as Bakugoâs furious sputtering filled the air, (Y/N) thought back to Uzuiâs voiceââI knew you could do it.â
As the rest of the class stared at the board displaying (Y/N)âs impossible 0.43-second time, he casually walked over to stand beside Izuku, whose expression betrayed a mix of awe and nervousness. Izukuâs green eyes darted toward Bakugo, whose smug confidence had turned into a scowl, his fists clenching and crackling with small explosions.
âItâs your turn,â (Y/N) said simply, glancing at Izuku. His tone wasnât harsh, but there was an edge of expectation in his voice.
Izuku swallowed hard, taking a shaky breath. âRight. My turnâŠâ He stepped forward as Aizawa called his name, his hands trembling slightly.
âYouâll be fine,â (Y/N) added, not looking directly at him. âIgnore the brat.â His gaze flickered briefly toward Bakugo, who froze mid-sneer, his teeth grinding audibly.
Izuku glanced at (Y/N), a flicker of gratitude crossing his face, though it quickly faded as the next test began.
Izuku nodded hesitantly, the words giving him a small but noticeable boost of confidence. He stepped up to the starting line, but as the whistle blew and his legs carried him forward, it was clear he wasnât anywhere near the speeds his classmates had achieved. His movements were clumsy, lacking the precision and strength needed to keep up with the others.
By the time he crossed the finish line, panting and red-faced, the results were as underwhelming as heâd feared. Bakugoâs barking laughter cut through the silence.
âHah! You call that running, Deku? Even the extras here could beat that!â Bakugo sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.
Izukuâs shoulders sagged slightly, his confidence wavering, but before Bakugo could press further, (Y/N)âs calm voice broke through.
âFocus on yourself,â (Y/N) said coldly, his disinterest cutting deeper than any insult could. âYouâre wasting energy trying to prove something to people who donât care.â
âWho are you calling a brat, huh?! Iâllââ Bakugo started, but (Y/N) cut him off with a flat look.
âI said focus on yourself brat.â
Bakugo flinched at the cold look thrown his way, his glare sharpening, but he doesnât say anything else.
The tests that followed were grueling, with the students pushed to their limits in various physical and quirk-based activities. Bakugo, true to his fiery nature, remained loud and aggressive, barking out challenges to the rest of the class. âCome on, you extras! I know you can do better than thatâoh wait, you canât!â
(Y/N), however, was unfazed. Every time Bakugo tried to outdo the rest of the class, (Y/N) would step in silently and match or surpass his score, his actions speaking louder than words. Whether it was the standing long jump, grip strength test, or sidesteps, (Y/N) completed them with an effortless precision that left Bakugoâs boasts hanging in the air.
Izuku, on the other hand, struggled with each test. His lack of control over One For All, coupled with his already limited physical capabilities, left him at the bottom of nearly every ranking. And yet, through it all, (Y/N) stayed close by, watching Izukuâs efforts with an analytical gaze.
âYouâre relying too much on instinct,â (Y/N) said during one test, his voice low so only Izuku could hear. âYouâll never get better if you donât train your body and mind to handle the strain. Iâll change up your training regimen next time. No more excuses.â
Izuku shivered at the thought, memories of their last training session flashing through his mind. (Y/N) had left him gasping for air, bruised but somehow inspired, and it seemed he was about to go through it all again.
âY-Yes, sir!â Izuku stammered, more nervous than ever.
âGood.â (Y/N)âs faint smirk was the only sign he was pleased.
By the time the pitching testâthe final eventârolled around, Izuku was already dreading the outcome. As expected, Bakugo was the first to land an impressive throw, his explosion-boosted pitch soaring far into the distance.
âBeat that, extras!â he shouted, grinning wickedly as the rest of the class took their turns.
When it was Izukuâs turn, the murmurs of doubt began almost immediately. âHeâs going to fail again,â someone whispered.
Izuku held the ball nervously, his heart hammering in his chest. The weight of everyoneâs expectationsâor lack thereofâfelt heavier than the ball itself.
âYouâre useless, Deku!â Bakugo shouted from the sidelines, his voice sharp and cutting. âWhatâre you even doing here? Just throw it and get it over with!â
Izuku hesitated, the familiar sting of Bakugoâs words settling deep in his chest. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught (Y/N)âs gaze.
âYou know what to do,â (Y/N) said calmly, his arms crossed as he stood watching.
Taking a deep breath, Izuku channeled the small amount of One For All he had access to into his arm, careful not to let the power spread too far. His grip tightened on the ball as he raised it. This is it.
With a determined shout, Izuku threw the ball, the sheer force of One For All sending it flying further than anyone expected. The class went silent as the ball finally landed, the distance displayed on the screen.
Even Bakugoâs usual commentary was replaced by stunned silence, though it didnât last long.
âWHAT THE HELL, DEKU?!â Bakugo roared, his explosions crackling violently in his palms. âYouâve been lying this whole time?! Youâve got a Quirk?!â
Izuku barely had time to stammer out a response before Bakugo lunged at him, explosions lighting up his path. Before he could reach Izuku, Aizawaâs scarf shot out, wrapping around Bakugo and pinning him in place.
âEnough,â Aizawa said flatly, his Quirk already erasing Bakugoâs. âControl yourself, or youâll be expelled before the dayâs over.â
Bakugo growled in frustration, but he stopped struggling, his glare never leaving Izuku.
Meanwhile, (Y/N) stepped up beside Izuku, placing a firm hand on his shoulder. âCome on,â he said simply. âLetâs go.â
Izuku nodded quickly, allowing (Y/N) to guide him back toward the rest of the class. His heart was still pounding, but for the first time, it wasnât entirely out of fear.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.
chapter 10
masterlist
The first day at UA was finally here, and the buzz of excitement in the air was nearly overwhelming. Students crowded the gates, some whispering in awe, others loudly boasting about their performance in the entrance exams. Izuku Midoriya was among them, his nerves bubbling over as he clutched his bag tightly. For him, this day had been a lifelong dream, but now that he was here, the sheer magnitude of it was almost too much to handle.
Standing beside him, (Y/N) was the polar opposite. His posture was relaxed, his gaze detached as if the massive gates and prestigious reputation of UA were just another backdrop in his otherwise mundane life.
âYouâre doing that nervous thing with your hands again,â (Y/N) muttered, not even looking at Izuku.
Izuku immediately flinched, shoving his fidgeting hands into his pockets. âI canât help it! I mean, this is UA! The UA! What if I mess up on the first day? What if someoneââ
âChill,â (Y/N) interrupted flatly. âNo one cares as much as you think they do. You passed, didnât you? Youâre here, arenât you? Just donât trip over your own feet, and youâll be fine.â
Izuku blinked at him, his mouth opening to argue but closing just as quickly. He knew (Y/N) wasnât wrong, but the bluntness was still jarring.
The classroom for Class 1-A was huge, with desks neatly arranged and a commanding podium at the front. The moment Izuku stepped inside, his nerves spiked. Students were scattered around the room, chatting, sizing each other up, or silently observing.
âMove,â (Y/N) said, brushing past him to take a seat near the back by the window. He sank into his chair as if it had been waiting specifically for him, resting his chin on his hand with a far-off look in his eyes.
Izuku scrambled to find a seat nearby, eventually settling in the one directly in front of (Y/N). His hands gripped his bag tightly as he tried not to make eye contact with anyone.
The noise in the room grew louder as more students arrived, some conversations growing heated. A tall boy with glasses and a rigid posture was confronting someone at the front of the roomâa boy with ash-blonde hair and a permanent scowl.
âYou need to check your attitude!â the boy with glasses barked, his hand slicing the air dramatically.
âShut the hell up, extra,â Bakugo snarled, his crimson eyes blazing with irritation. He leaned back in his chair, smirking arrogantly. âYouâre lucky Iâm not in the mood to waste my time on losers like you. Go sit down before you embarrass yourself.â
The glasses-wearing boy turned red but seemed to decide it wasnât worth pushing further. He stormed off to his seat, muttering under his breath.
Bakugoâs sharp gaze swept the room, landing on Izuku. His smirk widened into something far more menacing. âDeku,â he growled, practically spitting the nickname.
Izuku tensed in his seat, clutching his bag as if it could shield him.
Bakugoâs eyes shifted to (Y/N), who hadnât even glanced his way. âAnd who the hell are you supposed to be?â
(Y/N) finally turned his head, his expression unreadable. âSomeone who doesnât have time for whatever daddy issues,â
The ash haired boy growlsâ something (Y/N) notes down, âMommy issues it is, and childhood drama youâre trying to stir up,â he said, his voice calm but laced with a subtle edge.
Bakugo bristled, his smirk faltering for a split second. âWhatâd you just say, youââ
Before he could finish, the door slid open, and a disheveled man in a yellow sleeping bag shuffled into the room.
The room fell silent as the man unzipped himself and stood, his tired eyes sweeping over the class.
âIt took you eight seconds to quiet down,â he said flatly. âThat wonât cut it.â
Izuku whispered, âIs that⊠Eraser Head?â
(Y/N) tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingering on the man with mild curiosity.
âIâm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher,â the man continued. âPut these on and meet me outside.â He dropped a pile of gym uniforms onto the podium and walked out without another word.
The quirk assessment test was going to be grueling to say the least, or at least thatâs what some of the students were thinking. Aizawa didnât waste time with pleasantries or introductions, instead throwing the students into trial after trial to gauge their abilities.
The 50-meter dash was up first, and the students lined up to showcase their speed. Bakugo, as usual, was itching to show off. When his turn came, he launched himself forward with a burst of explosions from his palms, rocketing down the track and finishing with an impressive time.
â4.13 seconds. Not bad,â Aizawa said lazily, jotting it down.
Bakugo smirked, throwing a cocky glance at the others. âLetâs see any of you extras beat that.â
(Y/N) approached the starting line, his expression as blank as always. He didnât react to Bakugoâs words or the murmurs from the class, his body language relaxed and unhurried, almost as though he were bored.
âLetâs see what the so-called maid boyâs got,â Bakugo muttered, smirking again.
Did Bakugo remember who (Y/N) was in class? Yesâ in what world would even bother to forget that maid boy who he challenged back in middle school just to get his ass handed back to him on a silver platter. It was embarrassing but it was also a lesson bakugo would never forgetâ so he trained.
He trained and trained, and strained his muscles. There were days heâll pass out and his father would carry him inside and lay a cold rag on his forehead to cool him off, days when heâll have to rest his hands in buckets of ice water to cool off as his mother yelled and berated him for being a brat and overworking himself, heâll yell back but the argument would never go on for long.
It was simply his motherâs way of showing her love for himâ though aggressive, as for him he simply wouldnât have the energy to spare.
His only thoughts were to beat that âmaid ass extraâ and be Number 1.
Butâ donât get it twisted just because (Y/N) more or less was in the boys mind 24/7; itâs giving fanboy. He wouldnât give that extra the satisfaction of knowing he remembered him.
When the signal went off, (Y/N) movedâand the world seemed to blur around him.
He wasnât just fastâhe was blinding. His feet didnât pound the ground so much as skim across it, as if gravity barely applied to him. Each step was a fluid, seamless motion, too swift for the eye to fully follow. To the students, it was like he vanished, leaving only faint traces of movement in his wake. The rush of air trailing behind him felt almost deafening, as though the sound itself was trying to catch up and failing miserably.
The timer beeped sharply at the finish line. Aizawa stared at the time displayed for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly in intrigue. â0.43 seconds.â
There was dead silence. Even Bakugo, who had been smug only moments before, froze mid-sneer. The other studentsâ mouths hung open, their disbelief written across their faces.
âWhat?â Bakugo barked, his hands sparking with irritation. âNo way in hell thatâs right!â
(Y/N) walked back toward the group, not sparing anyone so much as a glance. His breathing was steady, his expression as calm and detached as ever. To him, it was as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
As he passed Bakugo, he lazily adjusted his gloves and muttered under his breath, âHuh. Felt slow.â
The explosive blondeâs face turned a furious shade of red. âWhat did you say, you damn extra?!â
But (Y/N) was already walking away, his eyes fixed on the horizon, clearly uninterested in engaging.
âInteresting,â Aizawa murmured, jotting something down. He didnât say anything else, but his gaze lingered on (Y/N) for a moment longer than usual, as though piecing together a puzzle no one else could see.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way.

chapter 9
masterlist
Izuku couldnât stop fidgeting. His nervous energy filled the air of the small apartment, his knees bouncing furiously as he sat on the couch. In his hands, he held a crumpled piece of paper, the last set of practice notes heâd scribbled down before the UA entrance exam.
Across from him, (Y/N) sat with one leg crossed over the other, sipping tea. His ever-present maid outfit was as spotless as always, an odd contrast to the chaotic whirlwind of thoughts Izuku seemed to be drowning in.
âYouâre going to vibrate right through the floor if you keep that up,â (Y/N) commented, not bothering to look up from his tea.
Izuku froze, forcing his legs still. âS-Sorry! Iâm justâwhat if I didnât pass? What if I messed up? What ifââ
(Y/N) cut him off with a deadpan stare. âYouâve already asked me this five times since we got back from the exam. My answer hasnât changed.â
Izuku sighed, slumping back against the couch. He stared up at the ceiling. âItâs just⊠UA. Itâs everything Iâve ever dreamed of. If I didnât pass, I donât know what Iâd do.â
âCry, eat some grilled salmon, and move on,â (Y/N) said, his tone completely unfazed. âBesides, you probably did fine. Youâre too stubborn to fail at something you actually care about.â
Izuku blinked, his cheeks heating up. âYou really think so?â
(Y/N) glanced at him, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. âI wouldnât be sitting here wasting my time with you if I thought otherwise.â
âHEY!â
(Y/n) snickers quietly to himself before taking a sip of his tea.
âY-you canât just say something like that and go about your day!â
âDo you hear that ââ (y/n) says staring out into the spacious room, looking around he turns his attention back to his drink.
âH-huh?!â
âMhmm⊠mustâve been my imaginationâŠâ he sips his tea once more. âCouldâve sworn I heard a crybaby try and scold me.â
âHEY!â
A few days passed, the tension growing thicker with each moment the letter didnât arrive. Izuku was doing his best to stay positive, but his nerves were clearly getting the better of him.
âHey, (Y/N),â Izuku began one afternoon, standing awkwardly in the living room.
âHmm?â (Y/N) was lounging on the floor, sharpening his sword with deliberate care. The sound of metal scraping against stone filled the room, oddly soothing.
âI was thinking⊠maybe we could train? Youâre really strong, and I⊠I think I need to get stronger if Iâm going to be a hero.â
(Y/N) paused, his hand stilling on the blade. Slowly, he looked up at Izuku, his expression unreadable.
âTrain? With me?â
Izuku nodded eagerly. âY-Yeah! I mean, youâre so fast and strong, even without a quirk. I think I could learn a lot from you!â
(Y/N) tilted his head. âYou realize what youâre asking, right?â
Izuku nodded again, his determination clear. âI can handle it! Whatever you throw at me, Iâllââ
âDonât say I didnât warn you,â (Y/N) interrupted, rising to his feet. He sheathed his sword and stretched lazily. âAlright, kid. Letâs see what youâve got.â
âBut youâre the one whoâs younger than meâŠâ Izuku mumbles to himself.
The training session had been something Izuku was looking forward too. It had been decided by (Y/N) that the two would began training in the closet location of a forest, away from prying eyes. Izuku had expected sparring matches or maybe some running drills. What he got was⊠far worse.
âDodge,â (Y/N) said simply, his tone almost bored.
âDodge whaââ
The words barely left Izukuâs mouth before a pebble the size of a fist came hurtling toward his face. He barely managed to duck in time, stumbling over a tree root and landing flat on his back.
âToo slow,â (Y/N) said, already tossing another pebble.
âWait! I wasnâtâow!â Izuku yelped as the second pebble struck his shoulder.
âHeroes donât get warm-up rounds,â (Y/N) said, his voice calm as he picked up a third pebble. âNow, get up.â
Izuku scrambled to his feet, his heart racing. He tried to focus, his eyes darting to (Y/N)âs hand as another pebble was launched his way. This time, he managed to sidestep itâonly for a second pebble to hit his shin.
âHow did youââ
âFocus,â (Y/N) said, cutting him off. âIf you canât handle this, how are you going to handle villains?â
The training escalated quickly. Pebbles turned into wooden sticks, then into hand-to-hand sparring. (Y/N) moved with the precision of a predator, his strikes calculated but never harsh enough to cause serious injury.
By the end of the first hour, Izuku was drenched in sweat, his muscles screaming in protest.
âBreak?â he panted, doubling over.
(Y/N) raised an eyebrow. âYouâre the one who asked for this. Donât tell me youâre giving up already.â
âN-No! I justâneed a minute,â Izuku stammered.
(Y/N) sighed, leaning against a tree. âFine. Three minutes. Then weâre running laps.â
Izuku groaned, collapsing onto the grass.
Yet despite the grueling pace, Izuku couldnât help but feel grateful. (Y/N) pushed him harder than anyone ever had, but there was a strange kind of camaraderie in it.
âWhy do you even train so much?â Izuku asked one day, nursing a bruise on his arm. âI know you probably didnât want to be a hero or at least I donât think you doâŠ. I never did ask you what your dreams for the future were, I just went ahead and assumedâŠâ
(Y/N) shrugged, tossing a stick into the fire theyâd built for the evening. âStrength is useful, no matter what you want to do. Besides, I donât trust anyone else to protect me.â
Izuku frowned. âBut youâre so strong already. Donât you thinkââ
âI think strength isnât just about how much you can lift or how fast you can move,â (Y/N) interrupted. âItâs about being prepared. For anything.â
Izuku fell silent, watching the fire crackle. He hadnât thought about it like that before.
A few weeks after the exam, the envelope finally arrived. Izuku sat on the couch, staring at it like it might bite him.
âYouâve been through worse in the last few days,â (Y/N) said, sipping his tea. âJust open it.â
Izuku took a deep breath and tore it open. The hologram of All Might appeared, smiling broadly.
âYOU DID IT, YOUNG MIDORIYA!â All Might boomed.
Izukuâs jaw dropped, tears spilling down his cheeks as All Might explained his scores. No villain points sure but he got by with enough points for rescue, surprisingly.
By the time the message ended, he was sobbing openly, clutching the letter to his chest.
(Y/N) watched him quietly, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he raised his tea in a mock toast. âCongrats, hero.â
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family.

chapter 8
masterlist
The massive monitor in UAâs observation room displayed a dozen live feeds of the ongoing entrance exam. The room buzzed with low murmurs as teachers and pro heroes, some already instructors and others soon to join, watched the performance of the candidates. Each teacher kept an eye out for promising students who displayed potential and ingenuity.
âHmm, that boy there,â Principal Nezuâs cheerful voice broke through the chatter as he gestured toward a feed displaying Izuku Midoriya. âThe green-haired one. Heâs quite⊠interesting, wouldnât you agree?â
All Might, standing to the side with arms crossed, stiffened slightly but kept his expression neutral. The other teachers turned their attention to the feed.
âHm, seems his quirk is causing him some harm,â Snipe observed, noting how Izukuâs body looked strained after a few impacts.
Ectoplasm nodded. âYes, a raw power quirk, but at what cost? His arm looks to be on the verge of breaking. He wonât last long in a real fight unless he gains better control.â
Principal Nezu hummed thoughtfully, pulling out a folder. âAh, Midoriya, Izuku. Letâs seeâŠâ He scanned the file. âAn interesting note here: it seems this boy was registered as quirkless up until just over a week ago. Then he was retested, and now he has this quirk though it seems his body isnât quite use to it yet and due to that it seems him using his quirk causes harm to him after each use . Very peculiar.â
The room fell silent for a moment, then the whispers began.
âQuirkless until a week ago?â Midnight raised an eyebrow. âThatâs not impossible, but that also shouldnât really be possible. Iâm not saying it canât happen but ⊠itâs rare, especially at his age.â
Vlad King folded his arms. âDoesnât seem natural. Late bloomers usually show signs before adolescence. Could he have undergone some⊠unconventional methods?â
All Might quickly stepped forward, a smile masking his rising unease. âWell, late-developing quirks arenât unheard of!â he said, his voice booming in an attempt to redirect their focus. âBut lookâover there! That young boy.â He gestured toward another monitor.
All eyes shifted to the screen showing (Y/N), who was weaving through the streets with precision, his sword flashing as he slashed through villain bots. Unlike the other students, (Y/N) wasnât focused on scoring points. Instead, he lingered near Izuku, always keeping the green-haired boy within sight.
Midnight tilted her head, scrutinizing the image. âYoung boy? Are we sure? Look at the outfit.â She leaned closer to the screen, smirking. âThatâs a maid outfit. Are we sure heâs not a girl?â
Nezu chuckled, unbothered. âNo, no, that is indeed a young male. His file confirms it.â
He flipped open a sparse folder labeled TokitĆ (Y/N). The teachers leaned in, curious about the boy who moved with such agility. However, their expressions turned puzzled when they saw the fileâs contentsâor lack thereof.
âBlank?â Cementoss frowned.
Nezu nodded. âYes, very little is known about this boy. His age is listed down as 14, making him the youngest first year this school year, well if he gets accepted. And hereâŠâ He pointed to a specific section. âWhere his quirk should be listed, itâs blank, stamped with quirkless.â
The room erupted into an uproar.
âQuirkless?!â Snipe exclaimed. âHowâs that possible? Look at him! No quirkless kid could move like that!â
âIs this some kind of error?â Vlad King demanded. âHeâs clearly doing things no ordinary person could.â
Recovery Girl, who had been quietly watching another monitor, finally spoke up. âCalm down, everyone. Watch the screen.â She gestured toward her monitor, which showed (Y/N) in action.
The teachers turned their attention back to the boy.
The zero-pointer had just appeared, causing chaos in its wake. Students scattered in fear, many too injured or paralyzed with terror to escape. Izuku had made his move, launching himself toward the towering robot to save a trapped girl. His punch connected with explosive force, destroying the robotâs head.
But as the zero-pointer began to collapse, its massive debris threatened to crush those still in its shadow.
Thatâs when (Y/N) sprang into action.
With a speed that defied belief, (Y/N) darted through the chaos, his sword flashing as he slashed at the falling chunks of metal. Each precise strike broke the debris into smaller, less dangerous pieces that scattered harmlessly to the ground.
âLook at that precisionâŠâ Ectoplasm murmured, his eyes wide.
âYou canât tell me thatâs not a quirk,â Midnight said, astonished.Â
As the dust settled, (Y/N) didnât stop. He seemed to vanish and reappear in a blur, carrying injured students to safety. His movements were fluid, almost inhuman, as he avoided obstacles and kept calm under pressure.
Finally, he reached Izuku, who was lying on the ground, his arm shattered from the force of his punch. There beside him was a young female - the one who saved him. Without hesitation, (Y/N) hoisted the green-haired boy onto his back and picked the female up bridal style startling her and causing her to yelp.Â
The female wrapped her arms tightly around the young males shoulders and neck as he dashed to where he had gathered the other injured students, setting the female down first then working towards setting Izuku down gently before standing guard over the group.
The room was silent, the teachers staring at the screen in disbelief.
âHowâŠâ Snipe began, but he couldnât finish the sentence.
âThatâs not possible,â Vlad King said, his voice low. âNot for someone quirkless.â
Principal Nezu, however, was smiling. âIt seems we have two very interesting candidates this year,â he said, his tone light but thoughtful.
Recovery Girl nodded. âQuirkless or not, that boy has the heart of a hero. Look at what heâs accomplishedâsaving others, keeping calm under pressure, and doing it all without a quirk. We shouldnât underestimate him.â
All Might, watching quietly from the corner, couldnât help but smile. âIndeed,â he said softly.
On the screen, (Y/N) stood amid the chaos, his expression calm and unreadable as always. He adjusted the strap of his sword, glancing at the injured students to ensure they were safe before turning his attention back to the rest of the battlefield.
For the first time in years, UA had encountered a student they couldnât quite explain.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.

The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silvery glow through the partially open window of Izukuâs room. The sounds of the city outside were faint, muffled by the gentle breeze that swayed the curtains. Inside, the room was quiet, save for the scratching of a pencil against paper as Izuku jotted down notes in his hero analysis notebook.
(Y/N) was sprawled out on the floor, leaning against the bedframe with a book in hand, though his focus wasnât entirely on the pages. He wasnât much of a reader, but he didnât mind accompanying Izuku in these late-night study sessions. It was a routine by nowâIzuku doing his best to prepare for the future, and (Y/N) being⊠well, (Y/N).
âHey, (Y/N)?â Izukuâs voice broke the silence, tentative and soft.
(Y/N) didnât look up from his book, his gaze still fixed on the words he wasnât really reading. âHm?â
Izuku hesitated, tapping his pencil against his notebook. âThe UA entrance exams⊠theyâre coming up soon.â
(Y/N) gave a vague grunt in response, neither encouraging nor dismissive. It was just enough to show he was listening.
Izuku took a deep breath, the weight of his nerves evident in the way his voice wavered. âI mean⊠this is it. UA is the first step toward becoming a real hero. Iâve been working so hard for this, and I know Toshinori believes in me, butâŠâ He trailed off, his hand tightening around the pencil.
(Y/N) finally glanced up, his expression unreadable.
Izuku continued, his words spilling out in a rush. âBut what if I mess up? What if all this training wasnât enough? What ifââ
âStop.â (Y/N)âs voice was firm, cutting through Izukuâs rambling. He didnât say more, but the single word was enough to make Izuku pause and take a shaky breath.
There was a moment of silence, the kind that felt heavier than words. Then Izuku spoke again, his voice quieter this time. âItâs just⊠itâs scary, you know? Going alone. I mean, I know Iâll be surrounded by other people, but itâs not the same. Youâve always been there, even when I didnât ask you to be. SoâŠâ He hesitated, then looked up, meeting (Y/N)âs gaze. âWould you⊠maybe want to come with me?â
A few moments of silence goes by, âFor old timeâs sake?â Izuku adds rather awkwardly.Â
(Y/N) didnât respond right away. He leaned his head back against the bedframe, staring at the ceiling as if deep in thought. Izuku fidgeted, his fingers tapping nervously against the notebook.
After what felt like an eternity, (Y/N) finally spoke. âFor old timeâs sake, huh?â His tone was unreadable, but there was a hint of something softer beneath his usual indifference.
Izuku nodded quickly. âYeah. I mean, you donât have to do anything. Just⊠be there. Like always.â
(Y/N) closed his book with a soft thud and stood up, stretching lazily. âFine,â he said, his tone casual as if agreeing to something much smaller than accompanying Izuku to one of the most significant moments of his life. âBut if you think Iâm gonna hold your hand the whole time, youâre out of your mind.â
Izuku let out a nervous laugh, relief washing over him. âI wasnât going to ask that! Just having you there is enough.â
(Y/N) smirked faintly, grabbing his sword from where it leaned against the wall. âGood. Because Iâve got better things to do than babysit.â
But as (Y/N) turned away, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Izuku didnât see it, but it was thereâa subtle acknowledgment of their bond.
âą timeskip âą
The gates of UA were even more imposing in person than they were in the pictures. The massive archway loomed over the crowd of prospective students, each one brimming with a mix of excitement and nerves. Izuku and (Y/N) stood just outside the entrance, taking it all in.
Izuku was practically vibrating with nervous energy, clutching his notebook tightly to his chest. âThis is it,â he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. âThe start of everythingâŠâ
(Y/N), on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed. He had his hands in the pockets of his maid uniform, his expression as unreadable as ever.
âYouâre gonna wear yourself out before you even get inside,â (Y/N) said, glancing at Izuku.
Izuku gave a sheepish laugh. âI canât help it. This is UA! The number one hero school! I just⊠I donât want to mess up.â
âYou wonât,â (Y/N) said simply.
Before Izuku could respond, the crowd began to move, and the two of them followed the flow of students through the gates. The atmosphere inside was electric, the air buzzing with anticipation.
As they entered the main hall, a booming voice echoed through the space, drawing everyoneâs attention. Present Mic stood at the front of the room, his energetic demeanor instantly filling the room with excitement. He explained the rules of the practical exam, detailing how students would earn points by taking down villain bots while avoiding penalties for harming âcivilians.â
Izuku listened intently, scribbling notes in his notebook, while (Y/N) leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed as he scanned the room. His gaze lingered on a few students who stood out to him but other than that he made no move to interact with them.
When the briefing ended, the students were led to the testing grounds. The large, sprawling cityscape was an impressive sight, with towering buildings and narrow alleyways designed to test the studentsâ abilities.
(Y/N) and Izuku stood side by side at the starting line, surrounded by other examinees. Izuku was practically shaking, his eyes darting around as he tried to come up with a strategy.
âRelax,â (Y/N) said, his voice calm. âYouâve got this. Just remember what weâve been training for.â
Izuku nodded, taking a deep breath to steady himself.
Then the signal blared, and chaos erupted.
The students scattered, each one sprinting into the city to hunt down villain bots. Izuku hesitated for a moment, overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the exam, but (Y/N) gave him a light shove.
âGo,â he said. âDonât waste time.â
Izuku nodded again and took off, determination replacing his nerves. (Y/N) watched him go, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
He didnât move right away, instead taking his time to assess the situation. The other students were focused on taking down as many bots as possible, but (Y/N) noticed something they didnâtâthe subtle patterns in how the bots moved, the way they seemed to respond to the studentsâ actions.
âAmateurs,â he muttered under his breath, drawing his sword.
With a single swift motion, he launched himself into the fray, his blade slicing through a group of villain bots with precision and ease. He moved like a shadow, his movements almost too fast to follow as he cut through the bots one by one.
Despite the chaos around him, (Y/N) remained calm, his focus unwavering. He didnât go after the bots for pointsâhe was here for one reason only: to watch over Izuku. And as he moved through the city, taking down any bot that got too close to his friend, he couldnât help but feel a sense of pride.
Izuku was doing well, well as well as someone who hasnât run into any boys And though (Y/N) would never admit it out loud, he was glad he had decided to tag along.
After all, some habits were hard to break.

chapter 6
masterlist
It was a quiet afternoon at the park. The golden hues of the setting sun painted the sky in warm tones as (Y/N), Izuku, and Toshinoriâwho had opted to leave his towering, muscular form at homeâsat together on a bench. Toshinori, currently in his skeletal form, was taking a break from his usual hero duties. (Y/N), though still indifferent, could tell there was a certain level of comfort in the air. Toshinori seemed to relax more than usual, without the pressure of being the larger-than-life symbol of peace.
The three of them had been sitting in silence for a while, watching the sun dip below the horizon. Izuku, with his usual spark of curiosity, was taking in the moment, his eyes wide, appreciating the rare calm.
âIâm glad we could take a break,â Izuku said, his voice light. âItâs nice to relax for a bit.â
(Y/N) glanced at the sky, the colors shifting and changing as the sun set. His expression was unreadable, as always. But despite the cold indifference, he couldnât deny the momentâs peace. It was rareâtoo rareâbut something about this setting felt like it was meant to be, like a calm before the storm.
Toshinori, still in his frail skeletal form, chuckled lightly. âYou know, Izuku, itâs important to take breaks. The weight of the world can get to you if you donât.â His smile, though softer in his current state, still had the same warmth as his iconic, heroic smile.
(Y/N) shifted slightly, his gaze drifting to Toshinori. He had never fully understood why someone like Toshinori would be so⊠devoted to helping others. From his perspective, it seemed like a never-ending cycle of exhaustion and responsibility. Then again, (Y/N) had always seen things differently. His focus was on the practical aspectsâwhat worked and what didnât. In his mind, Toshinori seemed lonely, constantly burdened by expectations. But he didnât voice that. There was no need. He wasnât here to analyze the man. He was here because Inko asked him to look after Izukuâand that was his job.
âYouâre probably right,â Izuku said, staring off into the distance. âSometimes, I feel like Iâm always chasing after somethingâtraining, learningâtrying to prove I can be a hero, just like you.â His voice dropped slightly, his uncertainty creeping in.
(Y/N) didnât offer any comforting words. He simply observed, his expression unreadable as always, feeling the weight of his own silence. He wasnât here to comfort Izuku. He was just⊠there.
Izuku leaned back on the bench, looking up at the sky. âIâve been training so hard lately. Sometimes I wonder if Iâm really getting anywhereâŠâ His voice was filled with frustration but also a glimmer of hope, as always.
âYou think Iâm improving, (Y/N)?â Izuku asked, his eyes full of expectation, though his voice had a slight edge of doubt to it.
Before (Y/N) could respond, Toshinori gave a tired chuckle, adjusting his glasses. âYouâre doing great, Izuku. Just remember that progress isnât always visible right away.â He sounded reassuring, though (Y/N) could sense the exhaustion hidden behind the kind words. He was too perceptive for Toshinori to fully conceal it, but there was no need to address it right now.
The sound of laughter and chatter from some nearby park-goers filled the air for a few moments, but then, out of nowhere, the atmosphere shifted. A low hum filled the airâa strange, almost oppressive pressure that made the hairs on the back of (Y/N)âs neck stand on end. He immediately stood up, his body tensing as his instincts kicked in. There was no mistaking itâdanger was approaching.
Izuku, sensing the shift, started to look around. âHuh? Whatâs happening?â he asked, his voice questioned.
Before Toshinori could respond or find a spot to transform into All Might, Izukuâs question was cut off by a familiar voiceâ(Y/N)âs voice, grumbling in annoyance. âGreat. This is so not in the scheduleâŠâ He turned to Izuku, looking more exasperated than concerned. âIâve got this whole day mapped out, and now some lowlife villain has to come and mess it all up.â
Izuku blinked, slightly confused but mostly surprised by the sudden change in (Y/N)âs demeanor.Â
A figure stepped out from behind a row of trees, a villain who looked as though he had just walked out of some bad manga. He had messy hair and his entire body was surrounded by a swirling vortex of airâan airbender wannabe, from the looks of it. The villain sneered as he floated above the ground, his eyes locking onto the trio, focusing on Toshinori first.
The villain sneered. âI am the villain Vortex! Iâll teach you a lesson youâll never forget!â
Izuku, body language read that he was eager to jump into action but also nervous and maybe a bit fearful⊠perhaps a lot fearful actually, he turned his attention to Toshinori and their eyes locked as if they were having a silent conversation with one another.
But (Y/N) interrupted him with a bored groan, completely disinterested. âUgh⊠so lame.â
 (Y/N) reached down to his side and pulled out a sword with one fluid motion. The sound of metal scraping against leather echoed in the park, making both Izuku and Toshinori stiffen in surprise. They hadnât seen the sword before, and they both assumed it was some sort of prop or fake.
But when (Y/N) unsheathed the blade, they quickly realized it was very realâreal enough to have weight in the air.
âYouâre going to fight with that?â Izuku asked, his voice filled with surprise, even a little concern.
(Y/N) nodded without hesitation, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the villain. âItâs not a fight,â he said flatly. âItâs just⊠a minor inconvenience. I had everything in order for today, and this idiotâs messing with them.â
The villain, hearing this, was enraged. âWhat did you say to me, brat?! Iâm not some minor inconvenience! Iâllââ
âShut it,â (Y/N) snapped, turning his attention back to Izuku. âI had a full day planned. Training with you, afterwards a nap, maybe some ramen, but no. No - now I have to deal with this⊠wannabe airbender.â His tone was dripping with disdain, and the villainâs face twisted in fury.
âYouâre dead, kid!â The villain roared, gathering all the air around him into a massive sphere before launching it at (Y/N).
Izuku flinched, but (Y/N) barely moved. In the blink of an eye, he darted forward, his sword slicing through the air in a swift arc.
âFirst form: Mist Bloom,â (Y/N) whispered under his breath, and the blade danced through the air, cutting the swirling air sphere in half. The force of the attack sent a shockwave through the park, but (Y/N) remained unfazed, his stance still composed.
The villain staggered back, his control over the air faltering for just a moment. He gritted his teeth, now more determined than ever. âNo one cuts through my winds!â he bellowed, gathering more of the turbulent air to strike again.
This time, (Y/N) moved with even more speed, barely visible as he closed the distance. His sword flashed again, and he whispered, âSecond form: Mist Crescent.â The blade arced through the air, this time cutting not just through the air but the very essence of the villainâs power.
The villain cried out in frustration, his body getting hit by a powerful gust of wind from his own attack as his control slipped completely. The force of (Y/N)âs blow had knocked him back once again, this time leaving him struggling to regain his bearings.
âYouâre pathetic,â (Y/N) said with a sneer, his sword moving effortlessly. He wasnât even breathing heavily yet. âYou think this is impressive? Itâs not. Youâre just a low-tier joke.â
The villainâs face twisted with rage. He pushed more of his power into the wind, now surrounding himself with an impenetrable barrier of swirling air. âYou think youâre better than me? Iâll show youâ!â
âThird form: Mist Flash,â (Y/N) whispered, his voice barely above a murmur. The speed of the attack was blinding, the sword flashing as it cut through the villainâs wind barrier like butter. In one fell swoop, (Y/N) closed the distance and appeared in front of the villain, the blade tracing a perfect path through the air as it knocked the villain off his feet and sent him crashing into the ground.
The villainâs attack faltered completely, and he crumpled, unconscious, to the earth.
Izuku stared in awe. The entire fight had been over in mere secondsâ(Y/N) had dismantled the villainâs defenses with a casual ease that left no doubt about his capabilities.
Toshinori watched, impressed but also slightly relieved. He had been ready to intervene, but he realized (Y/N) was more than capable on his own. He could feel the tension in the air even before the villain fully showed but now that the fights over the once tensed air begin to ease as the fight ended.
(Y/N) sheathed his sword with a soft click and turned to face Izuku, his expression unchanged. âWell, thatâs that. Now, where were we? Oh rightâyour training. Weâre done for the day. Iâve got it all scheduled, so no more interruptions, got it?â
Izuku was still wide-eyed. âTh-thank you! That was incredible!â
Toshinori chuckled softly, nodding. âIndeed, incredible⊠and fast. Well done, (Y/N).â
(Y/N) gave a shrug, his eyes flicking back toward the horizon. âYeah, yeah. I want my nap.âÂ
Izuku couldnât help but smile, a sense of awe lingering in his chest. If this was what (Y/N) could do in a few seconds, he couldnât wait to see how much further he could push his training under his watch.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way.

chapter 5

It had been a normal morning for (Y/N), that is, until he received the call from Inko. She was frantic, her voice a mixture of concern and embarrassment. Izuku had forgotten his lunch again, and with his schedule already packed, there was no way he could go home to get it. Inko, naturally, was worried that her son would be hungry for the rest of the day.
(Y/N) sighed, already knowing what was expected of him. It wasnât like he had any personal attachment to the boy yetâhe was just doing what Inko had asked. After all, it wasnât much trouble, and the thought of Izuku going without lunch felt like a small, easily fixed problem.
But when Inko had asked him to run to the school, he hadnât anticipated how dramatic it would turn out to be.
A few minutes later, (Y/N) was darting from rooftop to rooftop, the lunchbox in hand. The day was clear, and as he reached the school, his well-timed leap landed him smoothly on the window ledge of Izukuâs classroom. The students inside gasped, watching the maid-like figureâor rather, the feminine-looking maleâgracefully land on the ledge like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Inside, the class was in session, and the teacher was in the middle of explaining something when the window suddenly creaked open. The teacherâs gaze shifted from the chalkboard to the window, where (Y/N) stood, almost casually. He knocked lightly on the glass.
With wide eyes, the teacher, still in shock, opened the window.
âUm⊠can I help you?â the teacher asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
(Y/N) smiled politely, his voice calm. âIâve brought Izuku his lunch. He left it at home.â
Izuku, sitting at his desk, turned to see (Y/N) standing in the window. His eyes widened in surprise as (Y/N) passed the lunchbox to him.
âThanks, (Y/N),â Izuku said, a bit embarrassed by the attention, but grateful.
The moment the lunchbox was handed over, the murmurs from the class began. Whispers of curiosity and judgment flooded the air, but it was one voice that cut through the noiseâthe unmistakable, aggressive voice of Bakugou Katsuki.
âWhat the hell is this?â Bakugouâs harsh tone made everyone pause. âWhat kind of weirdo is this?â
Katsukiâs gaze shifted between (Y/N) and Izuku, his sharp eyes narrowing at the seemingly delicate figure standing in the window. He couldnât quite place the strange vibe about (Y/N)âthere was something off, something that didnât sit well with him. Despite the feminine features, there was a hidden strength in the way (Y/N) held himself, and it bothered Bakugou. The other students were whispering, clearly fascinated by the unusual sight of a maid-like male in their classroom, and Bakugou didnât like it. Not one bit.
âOi, youâre a guy, right?â Bakugou demanded, his voice dripping with sarcasm. âWhy the hell do you look like that? You some kind of freak?â
(Y/N) didnât flinch, his gaze steady and unamused as he locked eyes with Bakugou. âNot everyone fits your idea of what ânormalâ is,â he said coolly.
Thatâs when the murmurs turned into full-blown mutters of jealousy, curiosity, and mockery from the other students. Some of them laughed under their breath, while others whispered about how (Y/N) must be doing something for Izuku. Bakugouâs stare was burning, his frustration growing. The teacher, still in shock, hesitated, unsure of what to say or do.
Finally, Bakugouâs patience snapped.
âAfter school. You and me. Fight me,â Bakugou snarled, pointing a finger at (Y/N), his hands clenched into fists. His tone was commanding, daring (Y/N) to refuse.
(Y/N) remained silent for a moment, considering the offer. He didnât care about Bakugouâs attitude, nor did he particularly care about showing off. But something about the kidâs angerâhis constant need to assert dominanceâfelt almost laughable. Still, (Y/N) knew it was best to teach him a lesson.
âą timeskip âą
When school let out, Bakugou was already waiting by the gates, looking agitated and eager to prove himself. The other students had gathered around, eager to see the fight. They expected Bakugou to wipe the floor with (Y/N), who was still dressed in his usual maid-like uniform, his expression calm, almost uninterested in the spectacle he was about to partake in.
(Y/N) strolled over to the designated area, his steps relaxed and measured. Bakugouâs eyes burned with frustration, his hands sparking with his explosive quirk as he prepared for the fight.
âReady to get your ass handed to you, weirdo?â Bakugou yelled, his voice grating with annoyance.
(Y/N) didnât answer, merely taking a step back and picking up a small, toothpick-sized stick that had been lying around on the ground. The crowdâs chatter grew louder, some of them snickering, thinking this was going to be a quick show of dominance from Bakugou. After all, who would take a fight seriously when their opponent was using such a puny weapon?
Bakugou sneered, readying his hands to explode. âYou think you can beat me with that?â he mocked, already feeling the fire in his hands ignite. âPathetic!â
Without warning, Bakugou lunged at (Y/N), his quirk flaring up. He threw an explosive punch, intending to blow the smaller figure away. But (Y/N), unfazed, side-stepped with ease, the toothpick-sized stick in his hand never faltering.
Before Bakugou could even process his failed strike, (Y/N) reached out, tapping the side of his face with the stick. It wasnât hard, but the effect was immediate. Bakugou froze in shock, his body temporarily paralyzed by the sheer speed and precision of the tap.
âIs this really all youâve got?â (Y/N) said, his voice low and almost bored. âYouâre all bark and no bite.â
Bakugouâs face flushed with rage, his fists clenched tighter as he powered up for another strike. But this time, (Y/N) didnât move. Instead, he stood there, his posture unbothered.
With a swift movement, (Y/N) pressed the stick against Bakugouâs chest, using just the slightest amount of pressure to send the blonde boy stumbling back, his body pushed off balance by the touch. The crowd went silent, surprised by how easily (Y/N) had dominated the fight.
Bakugou, now visibly fuming and humiliated, gritted his teeth. âYou⊠you bastardâŠâ he spat, struggling to regain his posture.
(Y/N) simply lowered the stick, a faint smirk on his face as he stepped back. âI donât fight for entertainment, Bakugou. Youâre not worth the time or energy.â His eyes narrowed. âNext time, donât waste my time.â
With that, (Y/N) turned and walked away, leaving a stunned Bakugou, who stood in the middle of the crowd, seething. The other students stared at (Y/N), unsure whether they should be impressed or terrified by how easily he had subdued the explosive teen.
Izuku, watching from the side, felt a small sense of relief and admiration. He never expected someone like (Y/N) to not only stick around, but to also protect himâboth in and out of school.
Bakugou was left to stew in his embarrassment, but deep down, he knew better than to challenge (Y/N) again. He had just met his matchâand it was a match he never saw coming.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family.

chapter 4
masterlist
For the past few weeks, (Y/N) had been following Izuku around at Inkoâs request. He didnât mind; it wasnât like it was an inconvenience. Izuku, unlike most kids (Y/N) had seen, seemed to have a deep drive to train, to push himself harder each day. (Y/N) wasnât exactly sure what the boyâs goal was, but he was doing what Inko had askedâkeeping an eye on him and making sure he didnât push himself too far.
Izuku was dedicated to his training, even though no one knew about his secret sessions with All Might. The boy didnât seem to let anything stop him. Most days, (Y/N) just watched from a distance, staying on the sidelines. He didnât train, didnât offer advice, and didnât try to get involved. He simply observed, letting Izuku do his thing, as the task requested of him. It was simple enough.
Today was no different. Izuku was pushing himself hard, sweat dripping down his face, his breath coming in heavy gasps. (Y/N) remained quiet, watching the boy stretch and catch his breath. It wasnât until Izuku stopped, his brow furrowing, that (Y/N) took notice. The boy looked over his shoulder, a mix of curiosity and suspicion in his eyes.
âHey,â Izuku called out. âIâve been meaning to ask⊠Why do you always follow me around? You donât train, you just watch me. Why do you keep tagging along like this?â
(Y/N) didnât show any signs of surprise, as though the question had been expected. He tilted his head slightly, his expression as unreadable as ever. âInko asked me to keep an eye on you,â (Y/N) answered, his tone calm and steady, though there was no real warmth to it. âSheâs worried you donât have enough people your age around, so Iâm here to make sure youâre alright.â
Izuku blinked, his face a little confused. âSo⊠Youâre here just because my mom asked you to? Like, as a favor?â
(Y/N) could sense the hurt starting to settle in Izukuâs voice. There was an undertone of disappointment in the boyâs words that wasnât hard to miss. Still, (Y/N) didnât react to it. This was just the way things were, wasnât it?
âYeah,â (Y/N) replied, not sugar-coating anything. âSheâs just worried about your social life, or the lack of one. Thought itâd be good if you had someone around.â
Izukuâs shoulders sagged slightly, and he stared down at the ground, not saying anything for a moment. His voice, when it came, was barely above a whisper. âSo⊠youâre only here because my mom asked you to? Youâre just⊠a babysitter, huh?â
(Y/N) didnât respond immediately. He could see Izukuâs discomfort, the hurt settling over him like a heavy blanket. But there was something about the way Izuku asked that made (Y/N) pause. The boy seemed so vulnerable in that moment, even though he was still trying to keep his usual determination intact.
âI guess you could say that,â (Y/N) said, his voice neutral. It wasnât a complete lie, but it wasnât the whole truth either. He couldnât exactly explain the real reason heâd agreed to stay around. It was too complicated for words, and besides, what good would it do to burden Izuku with the details?
Izukuâs eyes were glistening with tears now, his expression wobbling between confusion and sadness. âSo⊠youâre not really here because you want to be my friend? Youâre just doing this because my mom told you to?â
The raw emotion in Izukuâs voice almost caught (Y/N) off guard. His instincts told him to brush it off, to not get involved. But he couldnât ignore the way Izukuâs words cut through the calm exterior.
(Y/N) exhaled sharply, thinking for a moment before speaking again. âInko asked me to keep an eye on you because⊠well, youâre the first kid my age Iâve seen in a while. Most people I work for donât have kids my age, so when she mentioned you, I thought⊠why not? It seemed interesting to me, is all.â
Izuku stared at him, blinking through the tears now falling freely. âYou mean⊠you wanted to hang out with me because⊠you donât have anyone else your age around?â
(Y/N) nodded, his gaze shifting away from Izuku for a moment, briefly distracted by the changing clouds in the sky. There was a strange, almost peaceful quality to the moment, but he quickly snapped his attention back to Izuku. âYeah. Maybe. I thought⊠it might be good to have someone around my age to talk to.â
Izukuâs breath hitched, and he took a shaky step forward, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. âThat⊠that would be really nice, you know? I donât really have any friends. I thought⊠maybe I was just too weird, too different for anyone to want to be friends with me.â His voice cracked slightly, his tears flowing faster.
(Y/N) was silent, watching the boyâs tears fall in a steady stream. He couldnât quite bring himself to say anything that would make it better. Izuku was so open, so vulnerable in that moment. And yet, (Y/N) couldnât bring himself to be the one to comfort him.
âAre you sure?â Izuku whispered, his eyes wide, as if searching for any trace of sincerity. âYou really want to be my friend?â
(Y/N) didnât know how to answer. He didnât want to lie outright, but he also didnât want to hurt the boy. So, instead, he said nothing, merely giving him a small nod, as if it would somehow be enough.
Izukuâs expression softened slightly, his tears still coming, but this time it seemed like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He looked up at (Y/N), his lips quivering as a small smile formed. âIâd really like that⊠I really would.â
(Y/N) blinked, an odd sensation settling in his chest. The smile on Izukuâs face was so genuine, so filled with hope that for a moment, he found himself unsure of how to react. There was a tug in his heart, something unfamiliar. It wasnât like anything heâd felt before.
Izuku continued to cry, but now, it wasnât out of sadnessâit was a relief, a sense of something real, finally. And for the briefest of moments, (Y/N) almost felt the need to pat him on the back, to say something reassuring. But he couldnât. He wasnât good at that.
Instead, his gaze drifted upward, and he saw a cloud drifting lazily through the sky. It was a peaceful, slow-moving thing, white and fluffy. âHuh,â (Y/N) muttered, almost to himself, âI wonder what kind of cloud that is.â
Izuku, still sniffling, didnât respond immediately, as he was lost in his own thoughts. (Y/N) looked at him for a moment longer, his eyes softening just a little, but he quickly turned his attention back to the sky. The cloud had already moved past, leaving nothing but a small memory of its presence.
âMaybe⊠maybe itâs a sign,â Izuku whispered, his voice still shaky but filled with a small flicker of hope.
(Y/N) didnât reply. Instead, he just looked at the sky, his mind drifting along with the cloud, unsure of what the future held, but for once, his thoughts werenât entirely clouded with indifference.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.

It had been a few days since (Y/N) started working at the Midoriya household. The routine had become familiarâwaking up early to clean the house, prepare meals, and help Inko with whatever she needed. The tasks were simple enough, and the house had a warm, cozy feel to it. Izuku still found it strange to have a maid, but he quickly grew used to the idea. What he didnât know, however, was that there was more to (Y/N) than just the quiet, graceful maid who served him tea and washed the dishes.
One afternoon, after coming home from school, Izuku walked through the front door with a sigh of relief. It had been a long day filled with quirk training and lessons, and he was looking forward to some peace and quiet. As he kicked off his shoes by the door, he noticed something that struck him as odd: the house was unusually silent.
He called out, âMom?â but received no answer.
Inko was usually downstairs, bustling around, or doing something around the house. Izuku figured she must have been napping upstairs. But where was (Y/N)? He hadnât seen them all day, and that wasnât normal.
Izuku wandered through the house, searching for (Y/N). It wasnât like him to be out of sight for so long.
He finally headed towards the backdoor, the sound of something strange drifting to his earsâa whooshing sound, followed by the scrape of something heavy hitting the ground. Curiosity got the better of him as he pushed the door open, and what he saw immediately stopped him in his tracks.
In the backyard, (Y/N) was swinging a broomstick around, moving fluidly as he spun and twirled. His movements were precise, as if he were wielding a real sword. Izukuâs eyes widened. The way (Y/N) moved was almost mesmerizing. Every swing of the broomstick looked so calculated, so skilledâit was like something out of a martial arts movie.
Izuku watched in awe, unable to look away, even as (Y/N) performed a series of complex movements that seemed to flow perfectly one after the other. His feet didnât falter, his posture was perfect, and the broomstick sliced through the air as if it were an extension of his body.
Then, with a swift swing, (Y/N) broke the broomstick in half. The wooden handle cracked with a sharp snap and fell to the ground.
Izuku blinked, speechless. His brain was trying to process what he had just witnessed.
âWait⊠what was that?!â Izuku whispered to himself. His mind raced as he stared at (Y/N), who was now casually placing the broken broomstick aside, as if nothing had happened.
Before Izuku could even react, he rushed toward (Y/N), his excitement getting the better of him. âThat was amazing!â he exclaimed, his voice high with excitement. âWhat did you just do?!â
(Y/N) turned to him, a calm and collected look on his face as usual, though he couldnât help but feel a small smile tug at his lips. Izuku was always so animated, so easily impressed. It was almost funny how easily he could be swept up in a moment.
âWell, itâs just something I learned a while ago,â (Y/N) said, choosing his words carefully. âA family friend taught me some basic moves for self-defense. I didnât really have a quirk, so I had to find other ways to defend myself.â He avoided mentioning the specific training heâd undergoneâhe didnât want to reveal too much.
Izuku nodded enthusiastically, eyes still wide with admiration. âSelf-defense?! Thatâs awesome! But⊠what about that last move? I saw somethingâI donât know, it looked likeâlike slashes or something? It was like⊠a mist appeared out of nowhere even though itâs a perfectly sunny day or something!â
(Y/N) blinked, surprised by the mention of mist but quickly masked his reaction. He needed to stay calm, not give anything away. He had to be careful not to reveal too much.
âHuh?â (Y/N) said, his expression thoughtful as if trying to understand what Izuku was talking about. âMust? Iâm not sure what you mean.â He gave a light shrug, his calm demeanor not changing. âYou probably just imagined it. You know, the wind can play tricks on your eyes sometimes, especially when youâre excited.â
Izuku blinked, his brows furrowing in confusion. âBut it really looked like something⊠like the mist rolled in from no where and everywhere at once! I swear it wasââ
(Y/N) smiled softly, cutting him off with a gentle laugh. âIzuku, youâre probably just seeing things. You know how your mind can play tricks on you when youâre so focused on something? Youâre probably just a little too excited. No big deal.â
Izuku hesitated, his excitement quickly fading as he processed (Y/N)âs words. He felt a little embarrassed for making such a big deal out of it. âOh⊠yeah, I guess youâre right,â he said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. âMaybe I did just imagine it. It looked so real, thoughâŠâ
(Y/N) gave him an assuring smile, his voice smooth as ever. âIt happens to the best of us. No harm in it.â
Izukuâs frown softened, and he nodded, still feeling a bit sheepish but ultimately convinced. âYeah, youâre right. Thanks, (Y/N).â
âNo problem,â (Y/N) replied, his expression unchanged. He quickly picked up the broken broomstick and gave Izuku a small nod before heading toward the house.
Izuku stood there for a moment, scratching his head, still not fully sure about what heâd seen, but trusting (Y/N)âs explanation. For now, he was just happy to have witnessed something so impressive.
As always, (Y/N) had managed to keep his secrets intact, and Izuku was none the wiser.
⏠After losing his job and with nowhere else to go, (Y/N) ends up working as a maid for the Midoriya family. His soft features and quiet nature make everyone assume heâs a girl, and honestly, he doesnât bother correcting themâitâs just easier that way. Everything seems fine until Izuku comes home and meets their new âmaid,â and things get awkward fast. What starts as a simple job quickly turns into a tangle of misunderstandings that neither of them saw coming.
chapter 2
masterlist
The quiet of the early morning was broken only by the sound of Izuku Midoriyaâs footsteps as he trudged home, sweat dripping from his brow and his legs aching after another grueling training session with All Might. His hoodie clung to him, damp with effort, and his mind buzzed with thoughts of how to improve his techniques.
As he reached his front door, he paused. From inside, he could hear the warm, melodic sound of his motherâs laughter. It was rare for her to laugh so freely, given how much she worried about him and his hero dreams. Curious and slightly confused, Izuku pushed the door open and stepped inside.
âMom?â he called out, slipping off his shoes and setting his bag by the door.
âIn here, sweetie!â Inkoâs voice chimed from the kitchen, her tone light and cheerful.
Izuku followed the sound, the ache in his legs forgotten for the moment. As he stepped into the kitchen, he stopped short, his green eyes widening at the sight before him.
Seated at the table with his mother was someone he didnât recognize. At first glance, he thought it was a girlâlong, flowing black-and-teal hair framed their face, and they wore a perfectly fitted maid dress that flared out slightly at the knees. Their delicate features were smooth and symmetrical, with porcelain skin that almost seemed to glow in the soft light.
âOh, Izuku!â Inko said, turning to him with a bright smile. âYouâre back early! Did training go okay?â
âUh⊠yeah,â Izuku replied automatically, his gaze flickering back to the stranger sitting at the table.
Inko followed his gaze, then gestured toward the person beside her. âIzuku, this is (Y/N). Heâs our new maid!â she said brightly.
The word âheâ made Izukuâs brain screech to a halt. His jaw slackened as he blinked at the figure sitting across from his mother.
âHuh?â he muttered, unable to process what sheâd just said.
The strangerâ(Y/N)âturned his head slightly to meet Izukuâs gaze. His movements were slow, deliberate, and calm. Cool teal eyes framed by impossibly long lashes locked onto Izukuâs green ones.
âHello,â (Y/N) said softly, his tone even and composed.
The voice hit Izuku like a punch to the gut. Low, smooth, and unmistakably masculine. He blinked again, his gaze darting back to the maid dress, then to the delicate face, and back again. His mind struggled to reconcile what he was seeing with what he was hearing.
âWait,â Izuku began slowly, his voice rising an octave as he pointed at (Y/N). âHe⊠heâs a boy?â
(Y/N) tilted his head slightly, his expression calm and unreadable. âYes,â he replied simply.
âHUH?!â Izuku squealed, the sound echoing through the small house.
Inko jumped slightly, startled by his outburst. âIzuku, calm down!â she said, though she couldnât help but laugh softly.
Izukuâs face burned a bright red as he pointed frantically at (Y/N). âButâheâheâs wearing a maid dress!â
(Y/N) blinked slowly, his teal eyes never leaving Izukuâs. âItâs comfortable,â he said, his voice steady and unbothered.
Izuku gawked, his mind still short-circuiting. The calmness in (Y/N)âs voice and demeanor only made the situation feel more surreal.
âSee?â Inko said, smiling at her son. âHeâs been so helpful already! Iâm sure you two will get along just fine.â
Izukuâs gaze flicked back to his mother, his face still bright red. âM-mom,â he stammered, lowering his voice, âwe need to talk about this later.â
Inko chuckled, waving a hand dismissively. âOh, donât be so dramatic, Izuku. Youâll get used to it.â
âGet used toââ Izuku cut himself off with a groan, running a hand through his messy hair. He turned back to (Y/N), who was now calmly sipping tea as though none of this chaos involved him.
(Y/N) met Izukuâs gaze again, his expression as calm and unreadable as before. âDo you need something?â he asked, his tone polite but detached.
âN-no!â Izuku squeaked, shaking his head furiously. âI-Iâm fine!â
âGood,â (Y/N) replied, setting his teacup down with precise care.
Izuku groaned again and stomped out of the kitchen, his face still burning. He wasnât sure how he was supposed to âget used toâ this, but one thing was certain: this was going to be weird.

chapter 1

It was far too early in the morning for most people to be awake, but (Y/N) was no stranger to odd hours. Dressed in a black maidâs uniform that fell just below his knees, he walked briskly down the dimly lit streets. The soft swishing of the skirt was oddly calming; he found the outfit freeing in a way he hadnât expected when his former employer had mistakenly assumed he was female. Not that it mattered anymoreâheâd been fired yesterday.
The memory of his firing was hazy, like most things. His forgetful nature made even significant events feel distant, but one detail stood out: the conversation.
âYouâre fired,â his boss had said bluntly.
(Y/N) had tilted his head, confused. âWho are you again?â
It hadnât gone over well. Regardless, heâd left the job without much protest, thinking only of his next steps. Homelessness wasnât appealing, so finding another job was now his top priority.
As he walked, his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a green-haired boy jogging in the opposite direction. The boy was clearly exhausted but determined, sweat dripping down his face as he pushed himself forward. Not far behind, a woman stood on the sidewalk, clutching her robe tightly around herself. She looked worried, her gaze fixed on the boy as he disappeared into the distance.
(Y/N) slowed his pace, curiosity piqued. The womanâs anxiety was palpable, and before he even realized what he was doing, he stepped closer, his silent movements startling her.
âAh!â she gasped, spinning around. Her wide eyes locked onto his, and she pressed a hand to her chest. âYou scared me!â
âSorry,â (Y/N) said calmly, his voice soft but steady. âYou seemed worried. Can I help?â
The woman hesitated, studying him. Despite the maidâs uniform, his demeanor was calm and collected. âItâs my son,â she admitted after a moment. âHeâs been pushing himself too hard latelyâŠtraining. I justââ She stopped, shaking her head. âNever mind. Itâs not your concern.â
âI can be whatever you need,â (Y/N) said simply.
Her brows furrowed. âWhat do you mean?â
He held up a hand and began counting on his fingers. âA butler, a maid, a babysitter, a cleaner, a bodyguardâŠâ He paused, noticing how her expression shifted at the last option.
âA bodyguard?â she repeated, her tone skeptical.
âYes.â His expression remained blank, though his tone carried a faint hint of confidence. âI can protect him if thatâs what youâre worried about.â
The woman, Inko, looked him over carefully. Despite his slight build and unassuming appearance, there was something about himâan air of quiet strength. But before agreeing, she asked cautiously, âHow much do you charge for yourâŠservices?â
âA warm meal and a place to rest my head,â he replied without hesitation.
Her eyes softened, and she frowned slightly. He was homeless, wasnât he? That explained a lot. Her heart ached at the thought of this young person out on the streets. She nodded, deciding then and there. âAlright. Follow me.â
She led him into her modest home, guiding him to a small guest room. âItâs not much, but youâre welcome to stay here.â
(Y/N) stepped inside, his gaze sweeping the space. It was plain but clean, with a neatly made bed and a small dresser. He set down the small bag he carried and turned to Inko as she said, âI hope this will do⊠Miss?â
He blinked, tilting his head slightly before saying, âOh, yeah, by the wayâŠIâm a boy.â
Inko froze, her face flushing with embarrassment. âOh! I-Iâm so sorry! I thoughtâbecause of the dressââ
âItâs fine,â he said, unbothered. âItâs comfortable.â
She nodded quickly, still flustered but relieved he didnât seem offended. âWell, um, rest up, and we can talk more later. Iâll prepare breakfast.â
(Y/N) gave a small nod and turned back to the room, sitting on the edge of the bed. It was warm here, and the idea of stabilityâeven if temporaryâeased a tension he hadnât realized he was carrying.
For the first time in what felt like forever, he allowed himself to relax. This new job might be unconventional, but he had a feeling it would be interesting.
Now I don't condone bullying but... I really wanna see a quirkless person bullying people with weird quirks like fr. Like imagine if kacchan was quirkless he would still be a menace to society.
Izuku with stretchy eyeballs???
The potential of hear me out cakes in mha universe ughhhhhhhhhh

Never in Tsuyuâs life would she think sheâd fall for you. Hard. A friend she held so dearly, one that she would turn to in the midst of her busy mind, one that she would cry to, laugh with, everything. And yet here she was, heart thumping harder than itâs supposed to, hands clammy and her smile felt too stiff. Suddenly, her habit of letting her hands hang down felt weird to her, and she didnât know where to place them.
You didnât seem to notice though, much to her relief and disappointment.Â
She hated it. Hated the way she didnât feel as loose with you anymore, the way she felt too much or even too less for you. Her usual carefree and aloofness seemed to just run away from her grasp the moment you smiled at her, or laughed, or⊠anything.
Tsuyu wasnât sure when it started. Maybe it was the way youâve always been present to lend a shoulder for her to lean to, or maybe the way youâd smile at her small mutters when she focused on a task. Maybe⊠maybe it had always been there.Â
Maybe she just didnât notice.Â
But now that she did, it felt too much for her. She didnât know what to do with them, so she tried to handle them herself.
To say that she was avoiding you wouldnât be true to her, but she was.Â
She stopped her small glances and snickers sheâd share with you across the room every time someone said something funny, or the way sheâd smack your shoulder with a giggle when you said a dirty joke.
Now youâre left wondering what you did so wrong, why she wasnât smiling at you the same as before, why it was still easy for her to smile with people, and not you.Â
You kept your smile, kept saying your small hiâs and heyâs to her, kept chiming those jokes sheâd laugh about. You kept being yourself. So what was so wrong? It felt like the more you tried to talk to her about it, she always had an excuse. Always had to go somewhere, always had someone else call her away from you.Â
And somehow, that someone would be something, somethingâŠEijiro.
Heâd throw that sneaky grin to her, one sheâd smile back to, or maybe heâd say somethingâsomething so funny sheâd laugh.Â
You couldnât help it. Eijiroâs a great guy, the boy inspired you a lot to improve yourself and to keep fighting. But lately, he just looks annoying in your eyes. And you hated feeling that way.
But when you accidentally hit Eijiro too hard on the face, and she comes running to him?Â
âShitâ s-sorry Ei,â You gasped, rushing to his stumbling form.Â
He grinned, waving a hand in dismissal while the other rubbed his cheek. âNo, no! That was amazing, y/n!!â Eijiro laughed, giving you a thumbs up.Â
âEijiro,â Tsuyu ran, passing you from behind. âAre you okayâŠ?âÂ
Oh God it was so hard for you to stay smiling and apologize. Maybe you should punch him again.Â
You huffed, trying to hide it off as a small chuckle rather than a scoff. As you gave a last look to the two, you threw Eijiro a small ice pack with a strained smile before walking off to the locker room to change.Â
.âïž ĘË đ
âFucking shit,â You muttered, trying to hide the venom dripping from your voice. Your hand harshly shoved your training shoes into the locker, breaths heavy, hot. You didnât even know who you were cursing out. Not one of them was even in the wrong, not in the slightest.
âCanât evenâ fuckingââÂ
The locker clasped, briefly trapping a small flesh of your skin, pinching it sharply.Â
âAgh! Bastardâ!!â You winced, sucking the finger as an attempt to comfort it.Â
You huffed, kicking yourself onto the small bench in the middle of the aisle. Your heart thrummed, drumming against your chest like it shouted for itself. It ached, it hurt. Badly. Worst thing is, you canât even do anything about it. Who were you to be jealous of someone whoâs not even yours to claim?
Eijiroâs heavy steps soon came close, before a calloused hand was placed onto your shoulder.Â
âYou did great today, y/n. Donât worry âbout punching me,â he chuckled, patting your shoulder lightly.Â
â..Fuck off.â You muttered, harshly standing up to trudge toward the exit.Â
He stood there, his grin frozen to confusion as his hand still hovered over where your shoulder used to be at. Bringing his hand to scratch his cheek, â...Okay, I guess..â
Your boots trudged against the concrete floors, breaths heavy and labored as you painfully tried to hide your boiling feelings, or the way your face scowled so deeply, you might need to iron it out later.Â
Tsuyuâs eyes followed your form. You saw it, felt it tingling by the side of your face. You wanted to smile, to grin at her again, but you just couldnât. It felt like climbing a mountain to smile at her.Â
Okay maybe it didnât. Not with her adorable eyes looking to you like she was always ready to listen to you, or the way her lips were always shaped into a small pout you loved so muchâtoo much. You couldnât stay mad, not when you hear that small âribbitâ every time she says something. You just can't help but be angry at yourself.
But by Tsuyuâs eyes, it looked like you were angry at her.Â
Your eyes glanced at her in a way she wasnât used to. Not that same smile and light hearted chuckle youâd let out as you waved to her. No, they looked at her like you wanted her gone.
For a second she reached out, yet your steps were fast, angry, like you didnât want her near you. So she stopped, letting her hand fall back to her side.
.âïž ĘË đ
One night, you had enough.Â
The class laughed and chattered along, giggling at the movie playing by the T.V.Â
All night your eyes had only glanced to the right or at your phone, shoulders tense and jaw clenched. Itâs like even your head refused to turn to the left, knowing she probably sat by him, giggling softly under her breath as he whispered something to her ear. And you couldnât see it. Couldnât bear to.Â
So you stood up, almost too suddenly. Hanta even asked where you were going, and you muttered, âOut.â Short, simple, sharp.Â
You needed it..
Needed out, some breath of fresh air.Â
Needed to calm yourself down from whatever demonâs tugging on your nerves.
You hoped she noticed, hoped she didnât. Hoped that she could at least just call out your name, hoped she just stayed silent.Â
With fast, strained steps, you found yourself outside. Dark was the night, loud and silent with the rain and thunder, and no one to talk to. Your heart pounded in your chest, clawing by your chest, begging to scream out.Â
âThis is ridiculous.â You muttered to no one, letting the water drip from your forehead to your nose.Â
âStupid feelingsââÂ
Your throat felt tight, like it clenched to your neck, strangling you to coax out your cries.
âStupid, stupid!!âÂ
âI hate them, Iâ I hate her!!!âÂ
For a second you felt a presence, steps stopping behind you as if hesitant to approach.Â
âWhatâŠ?â Tsuyuâs voice softly whimpered. The rain almost felt like it stopped, and if it didnât, it fell silent to your ears. None of the loud pitter-pattering to the ground and the roof, the world narrowed and silenced for her.Â
âY-you didnât⊠you didnât mean that⊠right..?â Her eyes narrowed, searching into yours.Â
A breath hitched in your lungs, refusing to come up. And your head screamed for you to say sorry.Â
âLeave me alone,â Your mouth betrayed, refusing to turn and look at her.Â
She mumbled a noise, like you had punched her. âN-No..â
Your head snapped to her direction, your body following suit. âWhat the fuck do you even want, Tsu?â
âFirst you avoided me for no reason, now youâre refusing to just leave me alone?â You scoffed, your face twisting to a frustrated smirk.Â
The small wide eyed girl flinched, her pout turned to a small frown, as if not used to seeing you like this. Thunder clapped above the two of you, âItâ itâs not like that!!â She cried out, her voice breaking with the rain.
A laugh escaped your lips, disbelieved.Â
âI mean it, y/n, please!!âÂ
âIâŠI was just scared, okay..?!â
âScared..?â You echoed, eyebrows stitching together closer. âScared?!â So did your steps. Your finger pointed to her, holding back the venom you were dripping with. âYou pushed me away!! And what?â
âAll for a boy?!â You scoffed again, pushing her shoulder. âI thought you were better than that, Tsu!!â
âItâs not about Eijiro!!!â She shouted, her head ducked down, rain dripping from her bangs, her fists clenched so tight to her sides they trembled.
âI donât like him like that, o-okay?! I likeâŠâ
âI like youâŠâ
Almost a whisper.
Just enough as a whimper.Â
The rain silenced again. Your eyes refuse to look at anything, not even acknowledging the water dripping from your lashes into your eyes, they only narrowed down to her.Â
Her. Clenching herself by her arms, shivering from the cold, water glistened her skin as it gleamed softly under the floodlights. Her dark green hair slick to her face, her small shoulders shaking softly with each and every sob she held back. Her.
Sobbing. For you.
Because of you.Â
And your mind is alarmed again, screaming the same tune, telling you to apologize.Â
âI.. I was scared, okay..?â Tsuyu croaked, her small, shrill voice breaking more and more. âI was scared youâll⊠push me away⊠s-soââ
â..So you pushed me away first?â You cut, not with a shout, no. A murmur. Small, hesitant, hurt.
With reluctance, she nodded, âI-Iâm sorry.. I.. I was just..â
You stayed silent. Not because you didnât know what to say, but the fact she was so clueless. Clueless that you like her back just as much, if not more.Â
Youâd do anything just to hear her say she liked you.Â
âI like you too.â You mumbled, sounding more like a grumble. âI like you too, Tsu.â Just in case she didnât hear it.Â
âH-huh..?âÂ
â..I like you, ugh.. do I have to keep saying it?â You complained, throwing your head to the side.Â
And she giggled. That sweet little giggle you love so much, finally landing in your ears, for you to hear. Not Eijiro, not anyone, she giggled because of you once more. âY-you do..?â
âYeeess,â You sighed, combing your hair back in frustration, trying your hardest to hide the warm tingling feeling creeping up your neck. Your eyes glanced at her, covering her mouth as she giggled softly, the sound merging with the rainâs melody. God, all you could do was smile. As much as you refused to, your lips quirked up, smiling softly at her giggles.Â
âHappy now?â You grinned sheepishly, kicking the rocks beneath your feet.
âMhm,â She smiled, stepping closer. Her hands clasped behind her as she did, eyeing you curiously from below.Â
Your eyes found her form once more, smiling at you as she stepped closer. Suddenly the rain fell warm on your cheeks, cold on your clammy hands.
With a puff of air, you pulled her close, hands wrapping by her shoulders and her waist.Â
Rainy days have always been Tsuyuâs favorite.Â
It may be yours too, now.
