•He of course spends hours conflicted with himself trying to decide what romantic things to do for his s/o. Definitely has a list of date ideas that he adds onto throughout the day
•All the thinking does pay off though. He has a plethora of date ideas from that point on. It’s so cute. He has an actual date itinerary too. AND the itinerary changes depending on the season. He seriously has winter summer spring and fall date ideas. We stan a thoughtful organized boyfriend
•One of his favorite date ideas, as cliche as it may be, is a picnic. Mama Midoriya makes all the food for them
•But also!!! Inviting his s/o over for dinner is always great. The first time he does it, he’s soo nervous. He practiced the whole day, trying to figure out how to ask them to come over and finally meet his parents
•A “romantic” first date, or even pre-relationship date, is probably just a study session date. Midoriya loves teaching his s/o. He wants to feel useful, and like he’s easing some stress off of them in any way he can. His de-stressor is de-stressing his s/o tbh
•He has to find room in between his plethora of All Might posters, but he definitely has a portion of his bedroom wall dedicated to pictures he’s taken with his s/o
•If Midoriya gives in and decides to buy a gushy typical gift like chocolates or flowers, he spends a frustratingly long time deciding which ones to buy. Until he has a meltdown and just buys them all
•Idk if this is romantic but Midoriya thinks literally everything about his s/o is cute. They could sneeze and he wants to just explode
•He also really loves it when they steal and wear his clothes. He knows it’s supposed to be one of those “annoying relationship quirks” because his closet is basically going dry, but he secretly hopes he sees his s/o wearing one of his sweaters. And when (if) he gets it back… he admittedly sleeps with it. He likes the smell of his s/o ok
Bakugou
•Romance is obviously not easy for him. Usually, he’s accidentally romantic lol
•He is so good at remembering things. Important, intimate things. It’s not even like he tries. He remembers his s/o’s birthday of course, but also their parent’s birthdays?? Or their siblings?? He’ll be making plans with his s/o like “Since it’s your mom’s birthday on Saturday you’ll be busy yeah?” And his s/o is always like… How do you remember these things. And he always gets offended because um?? Is he an idiot? Is he not supposed to remember simple dates??
•He remembers his s/o’s preferences too. Like, really weird ones. Where they like to put their arms when they’re sleeping, their favorite brand of trash bags, the specific size of pickles they like on their burger. Really weird
•Kaminari decided to third wheel Bakugo and his s/o one day at a fast food restaurant. When Kaminari graciously offered to go get their drinks and came back with Dr Pepper, Bakugo lost his shit because his s/o “LIKES COCA COLA NOT DR PEPPER U FUCKIN MORON. YOU’RE USELESS JUST LET ME DO IT”
•His kisses are usually very impulsive and harsh. He’ll literally be arguing with his s/o then go “UGH. Whatever. I gotta go,” then give them a surprisingly meaningful, hard kiss. Then storm off
•His date ideas are pretty much his own interests, never his s/o’s. His s/o is going to have to get used to that. He just doesn’t do sappy dates. He likes dangerous dates, of course. Stuff to get his adrenaline going. He can still be somewhat romantic?? Maybe?? Like, if they’re going mountain climbing and his s/o is nervous or just can’t do it, he’ll let them piggy back ride all the way up
•Whenever anyone finds out that he’s done something romantic for his s/o (Kirishima was snooping), 1-A makes a huge deal out of it. They gossip in class (not so efficiently since Bakugo is still in earshot) about how secretly gentlemanly he is, and how they didn’t know he had it in him. He gets pissed, and blushes
•His phone password may or may not be his s/o’s birthday. But don’t let him know that you know. He’ll swear it’s just a coincidence or something
This is so adorable?!?! My exes mom actually did this to me so I can easily envision this happening to these sweet boys!
Shinsou
– He would feel really uncomfortable about it at first
– Shinsou wouldn’t know how to approach the situation in the slightest and would just awkwardly grip the back of his head and half-smile
– His s/o would be mortified and would try anything to get their mom to stop!
– Their efforts would be in vain and mommy dearest would continue to rave about how Shinsou treated her little baby amazing and how they’re going to have the cutest little babies
– Eventually, Shinsou would simply use his quirk, in the nicest and calmest way possible, to get them to stop
– This happens every time he goes over, and his s/o actually dreads anytime Shinsou runs into their mom
Todoroki
– Poor guy doesn’t know how to take all of the compliments
– He stands in the doorway with his usual blank stare as he takes the positive beratement of compliments
-Torodoki is actually speechless at the forwardness of his s/o’s mother and how open she is about her love
– She rambles on and on about how Todoroki is the best guy for her baby and continuously asks if they’ll get married in the future
– Luckily, his s/o saves the day and drags him to another room
– At least he’s save for a little bit
Midoriya
– A literal puddle of joy at the compliments
– His cheeks are bright red the entire time, but he adorns the happiest little smile!
– Midoriya is the sweetest child around in his s/o’s mother’s eyes and he is the absolute perfect match to wed their sweet baby
– His s/o is so embarrassed by the situation, but Midoriya doesn’t mind one bit
– He lowkey enjoys the attention, and it makes loving his s/o all that much better. Being accepted is so important to him
Izuku’s camera roll begins with blurry, admittedly awkward pictures of Pro Heroes from behind other bystanders on a crowded sidewalk, occasionally featuring a rare picture of food that Inko poured her heart and soul into.
But gradually, those images become pictures of All Might— the real All Might, Toshinori.
And then they very quickly become pictures of friends, of people who care about who he is and what he’s doing and are proud of him. Pictures of Ochako and Tenya, pictures of Tsuyu and Shouto, pictures of Mina painting Denki’s nails. Pictures of his hero license and Mirio and Sir Nighteye. Selfies with Eri. A rare image of Katsuki taken moments before disaster.
Izuku’s camera roll, as strange as it is, is a solid representation of his development throughout high school. It’s something he holds dear. Something he can pull out when he’s feeling down or having doubts.
Izuku starts printing and framing the pictures, but soon enough his desk and bedside table run out of space. He starts hanging them on every tiny available space on the wall, reorganizing his posters to free as much space as possible, but it soon becomes obvious it’s not enough.
He first decides to take down the most worn down poster, All Might on his silver era suit, and it makes enough space for two big photos of his mom and two small ones of Uraraka and Iida pulling silly faces at the camera and one of Todoroki reading under a tree, pretending he doesn’t know his picture is being taken.
One by one the hero posters and memorabilia get carefully taken down and stored away, replaced by more and more pictures as time passes. Pinned to a corkboard, hanging from a string of decorated clothes pins, hastily stuck with masking tape. Pictures of class trips, group shots in their hero costumes, Toshinori trying to fit his too long legs in a go kart at the park, candids of Aizawa during class, Kouta awkwardly imitating the Wild Wild Pussycats pose with them.
The blurry, out of focus one he managed to snap in a haste when Kirishima managed to find Bakugou’s one and only ticklish spot.
Before he even realizes it, all his hero merchandise is gone and stored away, completely replaced by memories of friends and family. His new heroes.
★ s-stable and normal endings that aren’t full stops? ive never heard of them!! one day i will understand how to write the end of a story… today is not that day. also sorry this is like SUPER short ★
“Why do you like the rain?” Izuku asks, looking outside the window. The gentle pitter patter of the clouds crying was calming, he could admit that, but it was incomparable to the gentle smile of a spring sun. “Especially cold rain,” he winces.
“It’s cozy,” she says, flopping down on his bed and wrapping herself in his blankets. “Like this,” she mumbles, pushing her face into his pillow. He smiles, lowering his eyes to the floor.
“But isn’t a sunny day better?” he asks. “We can go outside and go to the park, like a date,” he offers, stuttering the slightest bit. Something about her made him unable to let go of the childish feeling of a new crush, the heart fluttering excitement.
“Yeah, but on rainy days we have an excuse to stay in and watch movies, like a date,” she says, sitting up and offering a hand to him. He grabs it and she gently tugs.
“Wait, no my-” she continues to pull, making him fall face first into the mattress. “shoes,” he says, kicking them off and pushing himself onto the bed.
“An excuse to cuddle,” she says, nestling up to his side. He smiles, staring at the ceiling, glad she wasn’t looking at his face to see the soft blush that lit up his cheeks. Every time.
“I guess I can like rainy days too,” he mumbles, reaching up and gently combing his fingers through her hair.
“See,” she says, pulling the blankets up. “They’re sleepy days. Comfy, sleepy days.”
“Mm,” he agrees, feeling his eyelids becoming heavier already. “Perfect napping weather,” he hums.
