    Summary

    Izuku sighs. "I think Kacchan's picking fights because he wants Todoroki to notice him. Maybe the two of them just need a little push in the right direction.”

    “Off a cliff, maybe,” says Ochako.

    "Let’s be serious,” Iida says. “We all know Bakugou’s crush isn’t on Todoroki.

    (What's Deku doing? His best, probably.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Midoriya turns to him and smiles. It’s a very wide smile, close-lipped and eyes bright with adventure, and Tenya is suddenly and inexplicably reminded of those deep-sea fish that are mostly just a bright light and some teeth.
    -
    "I wonder who could do it better?"

    An angler fish, Tenya thinks dimly. That's what the little sea monster was called.

    “Oh my god.” Everything smells like flowers, and there should be a classroom behind Ojiro but right now it just looks like a lot of sparkles and blank paper. “Am I having a seizure?”

    //

    “Tea or coffee?”

    “Tea,” says Todoroki.

    “Wrong, it’s coffee,” Kacchan says.

    //

    The bags under Hitoshi’s eyes had always worried him at first, but now they remind Izuku less of sleepless nights, and more of secret books read under the covers long after his mother had told him to go to bed.

    Summary

    It is its own sort of irony that, of all places, Izuku had ended up working at Disneyland.

    Or maybe it was nothing in particular at all, because feelings have lives of their own, stories of their own, and liking someone is too complex a feeling to trace back to once upon a time.

    //

    He looks down at Ochako, and thinks of how easy it would be to love her, to go on dates with her and hold her hand and keep leaning against her like this—but the thought perishes, because how silly, how silly to think of it as a possibility when it is the truth. He loves her, and it’s not the same microwaveable way he feels about Todoroki, nor the same way he feels about Tenya and his parents, but it’s there, and he loves that, too. He loves loving, and he loves feeling loved.

    He hasn’t really thought about that either, but, he thinks, his heart has always known.

    Summary

    Quirk accidents, while few and far in between, inevitably occurred in any society. Most, thankfully, were not destructive in scale. In large part they were due to the quirk manifestations of an unwitting toddler, thrust upon a hapless passerby, and would take no longer than a day since a quirk's effect generally faded after 24 hours. And like any accident, it could happen to anyone, anywhere.

    Like to Kirishima in front of a crane game.

    Bakugou... Even when I'm just a doll, you'd take care of me like this...?

    Even though he was still a plush toy, Kirishima's stitched-on smile really fit him then.

    Summary

    Aizawa starts walking towards the exit, obviously expecting Shouto to follow him, but Shouto's feet are frozen in place. His eyes flicker from the distorted reflection of himself in the ice to where All Might is giving him a long look, eyes kinder than anything Todoroki has ever been deserving of, and he feels sick.

    “Todoroki-kun,” Midoriya says gently, squeezing his arm in what Shouto presumes is meant to be a reassuring gesture. “It’s going to be okay.”

    He doesn’t think Midoriya is in any place to tell him what okay is, all things considered, but he chooses to keep quiet on the matter.

    Summary

    “He's slightly unhinged,” Shouto admits, “but I like that about him.”

    Midoriya flips over Bakugou, cackling evilly as he snags one of the grenades off his belt and flings it at an approaching Iida. Then Midoriya picks Bakugou up and lets out a feral scream as he throws him at Jirou. Aizawa sighs heavily but doesn’t stop the training exercise.

    Shouto cups his hands over his mouth and shouts, “You’re doing amazing, Midoriya!”

    (Or: Shouto tries to confess by being aggressively encouraging.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Midoriya,” Shouto calls softly, catching Midoriya just as he’s about to leave the common room, “you are a very good influence on the people around you.”

    “I––” Midoriya flushes gorgeously, freckled cheeks tinged pink. “T-Thank you, Todoroki-kun. Why…?”

    “I appreciate your presence in my life,” Shouto says, way more aggressively than he intended. Across the common room, Tokoyami looks up from his book.

    “I… appreciate you, too.”

    “I am incredibly proud of you.”

    Midoriya clearly starts to take it as a challenge.

    “I’m proud of you too!”

    “I can’t imagine my life without you,” Shouto says emphatically. Midoriya nods aggressively.

    “Me, too! And, I think you’re the bravest person I know!”

    “Y-You are valid!” Shouto, who was not expecting to be complimented back, ends up speaking louder than he intended.

    “So are you!” Midoriya responds, matching his volume. “You’re the best friend I could have asked for!”

    //

    The look on Midoriya’s face is so bubblegum soft, so openly, gently happy. It makes Shouto feel warm down to his bones.

    //

    “Ooh, a love note? Looks like Midoriya has a secret admirer!” Kaminari coos, peering over Midoriya’s shoulder to get a look at the note.

    “Another one? Damn, Midobro!”

    Midoriya looks off into the distance, probably reliving his trauma from the Great Valentine’s Day Disaster. He made an offhand pun about being bisexual while beating the shit out of Bakugou during their second sports festival and the following Valentine’s Day he received so many confessions and chocolates that Aizawa-sensei literally assigned him and his locker a body guard.

    Shouto thought it was very funny, until he realized that all those confessors were potential love rivals.
