Chapter Text

Almost everyone in U.A. High knew of Izuku Midoriya or Deku for short. That one kid who breaks all of his bones to help you or the embodiment of the literal sun and puppies. Either way, he was seen as that one kid who gets into a lot of trouble. After all of his crazy encounters with the villains and that nonsense, he got some simps. He was unaware of them though.

However, whenever you’re in class 1-A, you would get dragged into stuff. Especially if you’re the girls’ only respectable guy friend. Unwillingly, the girls gave him a makeover and that simp group has upgraded tenfold. At least one girl from each class in the whole schools liked him from that day forward. Many wouldn’t be surprised if the boys started taking interest in him also.

But, what if Izuku didn’t like anyone? He only likes them as friends and the girls know of his secret? What if that’s the reason why they gave him the makeover and why they’re so comfortable with him. Telling him about their woes and him being really reliable.

It was an ordinary day. Aizawa had set an assignment of a 3 page essay about the life of their current lesson subject, Nana Shimura. Izuku didn’t know much about her, only about her being a kind and funny soul. She also had a quirk that made her stronger. There were also pictures of this hero. To say the least, she was very pretty. If pictures could show which emotion represented it, she screamed of relaxed and cheery. Kaminari, Mina, and Kirishima were complaining about how long the essay had to be. Iida was talking to Tsu and Todoroki. Mineta was being the weird thing he was, and the others were hanging out with each other.

The bell rang and they headed off to the dorms. Everyone got comfortable in the living quarters. The exception of Bakugo of course. Everyone was in their own little group. Thankfully for the green haired one, he was alone. Today was rough. He had gone to sleep later than wanted and he had skipped breakfast. Present Mic’s yelling made it worse, honestly, this is what Aizawa has to deal with? Izuku left the room and headed for the kitchen, hoping some water would clear up this terrible headache.

Mina, Yaoyorozu, Tsu, Jirou, Uraraka, and Hagakure were in there too, Mineta close behind. There were probably others in there too but his mind was just too fuzzy for that. The constant pounding annoyed him enough, please for the love of All Might, Mineta do not talk to him. He took a cup and filled it up. He must’ve chugged at least 8 cups, though, the headache still stayed. It was lowered by a bit yes, but still there. He might as well go to his room, there would be less of a chance of him hurting someone. He washed the cup and started leaving.

“Midoriya!” A voice called

Izuku turned around and saw the Yaoyorozu and others were looking at him

“Yea? What’s wrong?” He cringed at how raspy and low his voice was, probably from him not using it for a while

Uraraka turned her head around, he caught a glimpse of some red on her cheek.

“I was wondering” Yaoyorozu started

“Oh, um sure”

If looks could kill, Midoriya would’ve dropped dead on the floor. He could practically feel the daggers that Mineta was boaring into his head. Knowing the small teen, he would report this to reincarnated pikachu and school supply. (Sero) nonetheless, he walked away and headed for training area A, to practice his aim.

An hour later, he was exhausted and a bit bruised, he would need to work on his tolerance later. He said his goodbyes to All might and started heading towards the 1-A dorms. He took out his phone an texted Uraraka that he was heading back. She responded quickly and that was that. The trek back wasn’t that long, thankfully, it was a scenic route.

In the middle of the walk, he heard a couple of whispers. Not wanting to listen in, he tried blocking them out. Though, they were always there. Then, there was a little ‘meep’. A familiar voice. He turned around and saw a bush.

“Come on out Eri” he said softly

He heard a soft groan but Eri came out.

“How did you know I was there?”

He chuckled “Your little ‘meep’. Also, I just know at this point, you have to be alert when you’re a hero in training”

“Hmm, ok! I’ll keep that in mind when I get into U.A!” She chirped happily

He smiled

“Deku?”

“Yes? What’s wrong Eri?”

“Um, I kind of got lost. I followed a butterfly here and I now can’t find the dorms anymore” she admitted sheepishly

“It’s alright, I’ll take you there alright? No need to be worried”

She nodded. The older held out his hand and Eri took it. They walked all the way back to the dorms where she stayed. They had a friendly banter and chat about apples. The blue haired girl knocked on the door, Aizawa opening it.

“Eri! Where have you been? We’ve been worried about you” he said, patting her hair

“Sorry, I got lost. But, Deku helped me get back! He said he was coming back from training” she pointed at the boy in question

“Thank you problem child. You should head back, Hound Dog will get angry if you stay out for any longer”

The green haired teen nodded and wished them both goodnight. He ran back to the dorms, steadily increasing his pace. He thought about his mood. He was calm, the headache from earlier had ceased. Though, he might get annoyed later. Thankfully, he made it back just before nightly patrol. Opening the door he was met with everyone’s chatter. Well, everyone of the boy’s chatter.

He wasn’t even halfway there to the elevator before he got noticed

“MIDORIYA! YOU BASTARD” the familiar voice of Kaminari

The chatter was replaced with silence, everyone’s attention on the situation.

“HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET THE GIRLS TO ALLOW THEM IN THEIR ROOMS?” Sero too shouted

The yellow haired teen grabbed his shirt and shook him back and forth.

“Um? I was invited? They wanted to talk to me?” He retorted

“Invited?” Was all the chorus of voices said

Both Kaminari and Sero went red with embarrassment. The yellowlette let go of Izuku’s shirt and apologized. They turned to a snickering Mineta. “You...”

“H-hold on guys! I told you the truth! I saw him with the girls in the kitchen talking. He had a smug face and all of the girls were red! He definitely seduced or blackmailed them” the shortest pointed accusingly at the ‘blackmailer’

He scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Mineta, you were there behind them. You heard them, there’s no doubt. Knowing your eavesdropping ears. There’s no way I’d be able to blackmail them without you hearing and telling Kaminari and Sero. If I did blackmail them, what was it for everyone of them? I can’t seduce anyone, I’m not good in that department. Now, can I go? I’m going to be late.” He said. Annoyed and already done for the day. Everyone in that room was rendered speechless, Iida not even trying to lecture him. He took this chance and left the room, entering the elevator.

He sighed and knocked on the designated room.

“Midoriya!” Everyone greeted

“Hello, sorry if I’m late, I was held back by some people”

“It’s alright, we had just finished doing something so perfect timing” Tsu said

“Sit down, we just brewed the tea so it’s hot. We can start in a second, we just need to finish something” Jirou said

He nodded and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. This smelt really good. It seemed earthy and the color was a beautiful dark blue purple.

“So Midoriya” Mina started

“We we’re wondering if you could help us out with something?” Yoayorozu asked

“That depends, what is it?”

“Could you help us with a few theories about the League of villains?” Uraraka finished

“O-oh! Sure, I guess, is there a reason you asked me?”

Everyone let out a relived sigh. “Well, you are pretty smart and Ochako here had mentioned about how you have notebooks about quirks and stuff” Tsu revealed

“Alright” he sighed.

“Great! We don’t need much information right now however so don’t feel pressured” Jirou reassured

He smiled and nodded. Mina had started a new topic and everyone was laughing. Then, the topic changed into Izuku. He didn’t and doesn’t know how it changed to him but it had. Mina was talking about his personality at first, then it moved to his knowledge. To his quirk, then, his appearance.

He must’ve zoned out for a little. All he remembered next was Jirou and the others snapping him out and asking if they could give him a temporary make over. He agreed, as long as they knew what they were doing. They assured him that they did and that he could even watch in the mirror for the technique, so if he would like to keep the appearance.

For the next 2 hours, it was every one of the girl’s mission to give him a new look. They first slit his eyebrows, telling him that he shouldn’t do it often as it could leave him without eyebrows or uneven ones. They taught him eye liner, seeing that it actually looked really good on him. While it hurt the girls to do it, they temporarily dyed his hair white. The dye wouldn’t damage his hair, nor it’s color. When they finished, they gave him a grayish green hoodie. Somehow, they managed to grow out his hair, not much, but not a lot. This made him look different from his usual look, his curly hair not really present. Yaoyorozu then straightened his hair and make his hair softer to the touch. This hair style looked good in any way, straight, tidy, and it looked the best when it was partly messy.

They finished and were proud of what they accomplished. They told him the necessary presedures to keep the white hair and gave him an eyeliner pen.

Luckily, everyone else had retired to their rooms, he could distinctly hear Iida lecturing Mineta and everyone else probably got a word in with the purple teen. He went into his room and collapsed onto the mattress. Hoping that tomorrow would be a better day.

I had previously informed Aizawa about my change. He okayed it and told me to watch Eri just in case I run into her again. I messed with the style a bit and got it just they way I liked it. I also put on the eyeliner, turns out, I’m not half bad. I adorned my uniform and headed out, I’m not sure if I was late or early but the living area was deserted. Maybe they went ahead? Well, class doesn’t start until 30 minutes so I might as well head over.

I heard a bunch of chatter in the room so I assumed that everyone was in there. I opened the door and entered. I greeted everyone. Iida and Todoroki turned their heads towards my direction. I think they were going to say something but they didn’t. Did I look that bad? Well, it’s fine I think, I headed for my desk and sat down. I pulled out my notebook and started writing down the theories.

After classes, it was break. Everyone was talking in hushed tones, it was rather unusual, everyone is loud when they talk to each other. I went up to Yaoyorozu and told her about what I thought about the theories. She took note of them, thanking me and saying that we would discuss about it in the dorms. At this time, lunch was going to start any minute so I started putting away all of my material. As I thought, the bell rung, telling us that lunch has started. Walking with Iida and Uraraka, we talked about our current lesson.

“She’s really pretty” He commented

“Right? Her costume is super neat too!” Chimed in Uraraka

They continued on until they reached the cafeteria, though, they remained in a tranquil silence. Well, as calm as it could get with all the loud talking.

Once they collected their food, they headed for the table, Uraraka sitting in the middle of the 2 others. This time, Izuku was at the end of the table. Before anyone could eat anything, Monoma of class 1-B came up

“Oh ho ho~ looks like class 1-A got a new student.” He scanned the table “Where’s you green haired hotshot? Don’t tell me he got replaced by this kid!” He cackled

Everyone practically rolled their eyes. “Rather rude of you to think that some of us can’t get a good makeover” he said rather coldly, internally freaking out, not wanting to sound that rude

Monoma’s mouth was wide open, trying to process what just had happened. “WAIT WAIT WAIT. THAT’S MIDORIYA?” He practically shouted, stumbling back and pointing. Grabbing the attention of all of the students in the cafeteria.

Well crap. He didn’t want everyone to know. Thanks Monoma.

The room quickly was filled with quiet murmurs, they consisted of “who’s Midoriya?” “He’s kind of cute” “that’s Midoriya?”

This will definitely be an interesting week

Chapter Text

Maybe deciding to help the girls out on this project wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

After a week or so after the whole change, Izuku went back to his green haired mess. It seemed like everything was back to normal. Well, slightly, Izuku has been feeling watched since the change. It might just be him being paranoid. Helping out the girls was a funny and delightful experience. He’s known for his abnormal strength so things like lifting up the couch for Tsu wasn’t a big problem. He was also able to help Mina upgrade her costume! Something about the group makes him feel happy, like he can rely on them.

Classes had been normal, Aizawa sometimes assigning more ‘fun’ projects when he caught students doing something stupid. For an example, who could make M*neta scared first after catching the short student peeping on the females changing. Todoroki somehow winning.

He was sitting on the couch when a larger boom struck. That was familiar. It was followed up by shouting and angry stomps by the elevator. He sighed and went in the kitchen, grabbing two(2) cups and a tea pot. There was a rustle then muffled grumbling.

When the tea was ready, he sat down and placed the cups on the table. Sitting by the blonde’s legs, he could tell that the louder was tired. He patted Bakugou on the back and prepared the tea how the blonde would would like. Smelling the tea, Bakugou sat up and reached out his hand. A glass cup was gently set down on his palm.

Sipping from the cup, he sat cross-legged on the couch. There was a silence between them. Not still, not tense, not awkward. It was a comfortable silence that draped upon them. The blonde could feel his consciousness drifting out of his reach. The greenette probably saw his drooped eyes and helped him up. He escorted Bakugou to the elevator and even to his room, making sure that the older didn’t pass out in the halls. For Bakugou’s prides sake.

Izuku made sure to clean up the mess in the living area and wash the tea pot and cups. It was another day for the group discussions. He grabbed his notebook and went up to the elevator.

Reaching towards the meeting dorm, he heard rustles of plants and then a small curse. He sighed but continued on his way. He opened the door and when saying his greeting, he was hit in the face with something with a soft fiber and most likely a glitter bomb. Losing his balance, he fell on his back, straining his injury he got from training today.

“Oops! Sorry about that Deku!” Uraraka apologized

“It’s alright, can you give me a towel?”

After cleaning up, the group waited for the leader of the group. Yaoyorozu finally came through the door and the meeting started.

To say the meeting was....informational would be really far fetched. Chaotic is the most vague way Izuku could describe it. Everyone was delirious and as anyone would know, that lead to trouble.

“How- H-“ Mina kept stuttering on the word, looking more frustrated every time she made a mistake. She crumpled it all up and just completely butchered the use of words. She laughed to herself and shot finger guns toward the only male in the room. The person in question shot her a questionable look but smiled.

“Sorry Mina, we didn’t get that, what did you want to say?” He said after a minute of continuous finger guns

“H-how do you guys feel about Midoriya?” She drawled

As if he has vanished from the room, the girls started talking about him in the most honest way he had ever heard. Seeing this as a great entertainment, he remained quiet.

“He’s..” a pause. “He’s cool, dumb though, like he is smart in school but really dumb with hero stuff” Jirou amused.

“I agree, but it is really funny seeing him being stupid” Tsu added

“He’s an awkward mess though” pause “do you think he was always like that?” Uraraka chimed

“Another theory to the board” Yaoyorozu sighed, writing something in her journal

“Can we talk about his mussels though?” Hagakure snorted

“Right, baby face but carved out of marble? Hello? I call utter witchcraft” Mina sassed

Everyone let out a small chuckle

Eventually, everyone fell asleep. No wonder, it was four(4) am. There were pillows and blankets everywhere so it wasn’t completely uncomfortable. Though, the grunts that some of them let out disproved of that. The only awake one sighed and started rearranging everything. Putting one of the females on the bed when messing with each area then putting them back. They seemed more comfortable. He smiled and left the room, making sure his steps weren’t loud.

When he turned off the light, he opened the door and left. When closing it, he was met with the face of his home room teacher. His eyes were slightly widened

“Problem child?” He called out

The kid in question offered a hum and nodded. The hallway lights still on for an uncertain reason

“Well, I didn’t think you would become the second Mine-“

At the sound of the name, he started shaking his head. “No sensei, I just had gotten out of a meeting with them. This a weekly thing.” He admitted. “Ah, sorry for staying up so late and causing the confusion”

The older’s expression had returned back to normal. “I see. It’s alright, I just thought that you had become... yea. That’s on my part. Go get some rest, if it was an important meeting then I’ll tell the other students to keep quiet when they wake up.”

Izuku thanked the teacher and apologized to him once again. Wishing him goodnight, off to bed he went.

Another day, another meeting. While the meetings were usually only weekly, sometimes they would have to continue to the next day because they didn’t make it far in the discussion. Classes ended and everyone had gotten out of the showers. By then everyone knew of Izuku going into one of the girls’ rooms so no more weird looks or disgusted glances. Well, there were the occasional death glares from the shortest teen in the dorms.

“Ochako! You know we can tell right?” “You have to tell him eventually!” Mina yelled

The brunette hid her face in her hands and shook he head violently

“Tell who what?” The scarred male asked, re-entering the room. He was most likely too quiet because no one answered or rather heard

“It’s nothing though!” Uraraka shot back

Mina pouted

Yaoyorozu was giggling at the corner. “Come on Uraraka, it’s alright to say it”

“No!”

“Then we’ll say it for you” Jirou teased

Confused as he was, he pushed it aside and noticed the girl’s red tinted ears

“Fine!” Her hand left her face and her cheeks turned impossibly rounder “I like Deku! Can we please move on?!”

“Ooo la la~“ every female practically teased

“How do you feel about this Deku?”

“What!?” The flustered girl seemed like she was going to pass out of embarrassment any second

“I mean..” “it’s normal I guess? I can’t really return those feeling though”

Everyone turned to him in pure shock, Uraraka in a mixture of mortification and sadness

“What. I THOUGHT YOU LIKED HER?” The male could feel a hand grab his shirt

“No?” He drawled, trying not to cause an uproar

Chaos. Hagakure was running around the room. Jirou was muttering to Momo, Mina was uncharacteristically quiet and Tsu just accepted it. Uraraka seemed one breath away from the lord.

“Wait hold on” everyone turned their attention to him. “It’s not like I don’t like her because I have a crush on some other girl”

Everyone had a puzzled look

“I’m AroAce”

“Ohhhhhhh”

“And here I thought it was because you liked Hatsume” Uraraka admitted

Everyone burst into light laughter.

“No no” “but could you keep this as a secret? I don’t want anyone to judge me or hate me” the greenette said looking down

“Of course!” The chorus of voices said

He smiled. Maybe he could rely on them
