Work Text:
Class 3A sat in the common room of their dorms; all varying levels of disappointment.
“I can’t believe they cancelled it!” Uraraka cried and slumped into her girlfriends shoulder. Tsu wrapped her arm around her and nodded in agreement.
“Just because we wanted to go with the ones we love!” Kirishima exclaimed.
“It’s so unfair!!” Ashido whined.
“I agree but there’s not much we can do now.” Iida said.
Midoriya was not having any of this. He wanted to go to prom with his boyfriend but the Hero Commission cancelled it all together just because LGBTQ+ couples wanted to go together. Midoriya called bullshit. He glanced over at Shinsou, his boyfriend, and saw the small gleam of disappointment in his eyes. That was all it took for him to decide to do something about it.
“I’ve gotta go call my mom and tell her she can stop looking for my dads suit.” He said, you know, like a liar. She had already found the suit and it was being tailored.
Instead of going to his room he went outside under the terms that it was so nobody could overhear on accident. He got about half way to campus before calling his favorite English teacher.
“Midoriya? What’s up, Little Listener?” The Voice Hero asked from the other end.
Midoriya felt a grin bloom on his face.
“Yamada-Sensei, I need your help.”
*
“Let me get this straight. You want to plan your own prom because the Hero Commission cancelled you school funded one and you want me and any other LGBT heroes we can find to help fund it?” Mic questioned.
Midoriya nodded. “Yep. That sounds about right.” He confirmed.
Mic looked him in the eyes and a smile spread across his face.
“Lets do it!” The hero exclaimed.
“Wait really!?” Midoriya cried and jumped to his feet from the sofa he was sitting on.
“Of course! It sounds awesome, Kid!! We can invite kids from the community from all of Japan and there’ll be plenty of heroes for security if anything happens and he won’t tell you but Shouta was excited for us to go together because we weren’t dating yet for our prom.” Mic stood as well and ruffled the green haired students hair.
Midoriya started laughing with joy and hugged his teacher.
The two sat down in a cafe with a note book in between them.
“Okay so let’s start with heroes we need to get in contact with.” Midoriya picked up the pen and wrote Mics name down with a wink.
“The Pussy Cats for sure and probably Hawks. He may be retired but him and Touya will totally want to come.” Mic said.
Midoriya made a face at the mention of Touya Todoroki, formerly the villain Dabi, but wrote his name under The Pussy Cats and Hawks.
“Midnight will totally be down as well as Miriko and Fatgum. I can call Mirio and Tamaki. All Might and David Shield. Who else?” Midoriya questioned as he wrote those names down.
“Hmmm I can ask Ms. Joke and probably Ryukyu.” Mic said.
“Native owes me a favor and Tensi Iida would be down I bet. Thirteen definitely and Mount Lady likes me enough to help with the funds. Todoroki gave me one of Endeavors credit cards so we can max that out. ” Midoriya wrote down with a wide smile.

“Lets start going down the list, Kid.” Mic pulled out his phone and Midoriya did the same.
It took awhile but everyone on the list was gonna help pay. They were all meeting at Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire’s agency to discuss further tomorrow. Until then Midoriya started a list of things they would need and the cost. He realized it was adding up to a lot.
“Little Listener, stop stressing about finances. We have the retired Number 1, David Shield, and top heroes from all over the country helping pay for this. Also Endeavors generous donation should pay for the venue.” Mic winked at the end.
Midoriya sighed and closed his notebook.
“You’re right.” He said.
*
“Alrighty that’s everyone!” Mirio announced as he led Ms. Joke into the Agency conference room.
“Great! All Might can you Skype David?” Midoriya requested.
“Sure thing, My Boy!” All Might called David on his laptop and faced it towards Midoriya.
“Okay everyone! We know why we’re here! I want to plan a prom for my class and any other hero students across the country who don’t get a prom do to the hero commission being homophobic.” Midoriya announced and clicked the remote for his powerpoint he made last night.
The first slide was of the things they needed and the price. Everyone noticed that Venue had “covered” beside it.
“Who payed for the venue?” Native asked.
Midoriya and Mic smirked and Midoriya set Endeavors credit card on the table.
“Best venue in the city. Curtesy of Endeavor.” The teen said.
Hawks snorted while Touya straight up cackled.
“How about we dole out things everyone gets and then we can go from there. The venue is handled and I’ve got flowers. Mic is doing music and Fatgum said he’d handle food. That really just leaves decorations honestly and any other entertainment we want to do.” Midoriya listed.
“We can do balloons!” Mandalay offered for her and her team who nodded in agreement.
“We can make table toppers!” Hawks motioned to himself and Touya.
“I know a guy who has a disco ball that’s huge. I bet I could get him to let me borrow it.” Midnight said.
They assigned everything and moved on.
“So I’ve got the venue for the 28th of May. You think we can get this all done by then?” Midoriya questioned.
“Totally! That two whole weeks! We can decorate the day before! We just gotta make sure everyone knows about it and the Commission doesn’t.” Mirio said with Tamaki and Nejire nodding and grinning in agreement.
“I’ve got Mel and I tickets for Friday so we can be around to help out.” David announced.
Everyone had to leave but Midoriya stuck around for a couple minutes with Mic, Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire.
“I can’t believe we may be able to pull this off.” Midoriya breathed out in astonishment.
“Of course we will! You’re the one planning it, Midoriya-Kun!!” Nejire bounced to hug him.
“I-I agree with Nejire..” Tamaki whispered.
“Totally Man!! With you in charge this is gonna be an absolute blast!!” Mirio cheered.
“You’ve got this, Kid.” Mic ruffled his hair.

A week and a half later was when Izuku finally decided to tell his class about the prom. Ya they had a full two days to prepare but it was fine. He called them all down to the common room and invited Shinsou over from the 1B dorms (I kept Mineta. Sue me).
“What’s up, Midoriya?” Sero asked from where he hung off Kaminari (his boyfriend).
“Soooooo I’m gonna need you guys to get your prom outfits back out of your closets because we’re having a prom whether the Commission likes it or not.” Midoriya announced with a proud grin.
“Wait what!!?” Mina exclaimed.
“No way!!” Kirishima shouted.
“What the hell are you on about, Nerd!?” Bakugo growled.
“Okay so the day we found out the Commission was cancelling our prom I talked to Mic-Sensei and we called a whole bunch of queer or ally heroes and we managed to fund and plan a whole prom in like two weeks and hero students from schools all around the country are coming.” Midoriya explained.
“Dude this is amazing!!!” Kaminari cried and pulled Izuku into a hug.
“Thank you thank you thank you!!” Uraraka cheered as she hugged Tsu.
“We get to go to prom!!” Hagakure cried as Ojiro spun her around.
“I’ve gotta call my dad. He has my suit.” Mineta said and ran out to call his dad.
Midoriya turned to Shinsou.
“You really did that for us?” The purple haired boy questioned quietly.
“Of course.” Midoriya said with a smile and pulled his boyfriend into a hug.
The two broke away and went outside. The two teens stayed in each others arms and started to sway to nonexistent music.
“I don't want to start a riot
I don't want to blaze a trail
I don't want to be a symbol
Or cautionary tale
I don't want to be a scapegoat
For people to oppose
What I want is simple
As far as wanting goes.” Midoriya began to sing.
“I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes is you and me
And a song.” Midoriya picked Shinsou up and spun him around. Shinsou put his hands on Midoriya’s shoulders when he was set down.
“I don't need a big production
Streamers hanging in the air
I don't need to spend the night
With confetti in my hair
I don't need a room of people
That I don't really know.” Shinsou picked up the song.
“I just want to hold you
And never let you go!” Midoriya sang.
“I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through-“ They sang together before Midoriya picked it up.“No one can convince us we were wrong!”
“All it takes is you and me
And a song…” They finished together softly, but continued to sway.
Uraraka had opened the window slightly and was filming with a soft smile.

The day finally came! Everyone was getting ready. Midoriya had gone to his moms to get his suit and get ready. She was standing behind him attempting to tame his hair while he looked in the mirror. His father had worn this suit to his prom where he took his mom. It was crimson red and Midoriya was wearing a black shirt beneath it with a purple tie. He had also made the decision to wear platform dress shoes for some unholy reason.
“You look just like your father.” Inko told him.
“Would he be proud of me?” Midoriya asked quietly.
“Oh Izuku. He loved you so much and he told me he would be proud of you if you decided you wanted to be a stripper. He just wanted you to happy.” Inko assured him.
Izuku hummed and turned to look at his mother face to face.
“Did you talk to Auntie Mitsuki?” He asked.
Inko sighed.
“I tried but now it’s up to her. She has a lot of thinking to do.” Inko put a hand on her sons shoulder. “But she’ll come to her senses. She may be brash and stubborn but she loved Katsuki.”
Izuku smiled and hugged Inko before heading out the door. He met Hitoshi outside and they called a cab. They sat and enjoyed each other company for the whole ride before arriving at the large venue. They made their way in and Hitoshi stared in aw.
“You did all this?” He whispered.
“I had a whole bunch of help.” Izuku said with a soft smile.
“We’re a bit early.” Hitoshi chuckled.
“Wanna hit up the bunch bowl?” Izuku asked with a wink.
“No.” Hitoshi hummed and took Izuku around the waist. “I just wanna dance with you.”
They swayed and laughed for a couple seconds before the heroes entered with excited gasps. Music started playing and Izuku gasped. It was a song from a pre-quirk movie he had watched a few days ago on Mics requested. Izuku looked over at Mic with huge smile.
“Can you believe we pulled this off!?” Izuku cried.
“Kids are coming from hero schools all over the country and we’re letting them in in one minute!” Ms. Joke announced.
“So let’s do this right!” Izuku winked at Mic before beginning to sing. “ One thing you’ve taught me is how much people enjoy a show and so you’ve got me debating how this whole night should go!!” He pulled Mic by the arm.
Mic spun him over to Midnight and Izuku sang as he twirled.
“Kids will be watching to see who every guest is and so my only request isssssss!!” He went out to the middle of the dance floor landlocked around at all the grinning heroes who had also apparently seen the movie.
“Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance!!”
Aizawa turned to Mic.
“I just wanna dance with you.” The tired man sang quietly making the blondes face erupt in a giant grin.
“I just want to dance with you!!” Mic sang loudly.
“OMG!!!” Hawks cried.
Everyone looked over curiously.
“It worked! I’m finally seeing the Hero Commission for the shit I went through as a kid!! My lawyer called about a trial!!” The bird man exclaimed.
“That’s amazing!!” Izuku cheered. “What did you say!?”
“I said no way, I’ve got a prom to go to!” Hawks answered with a wink.
Everyone burst into cheers.
“Just calling I’ve got a meeting first thing tomorrow so let’s get this party started!!” Hawks hollered.
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
And now we're dressed up
You are a vision in crimson red!” Mic sang as he ran up to Izuku.
“It's time we fessed up
This year our prom queen will be you!” Izuku sang.
“Maybe I'll wear a tiara
When it's go time
Get ready folks
'Cause it's show time!!” Mic sang as Hitoshi placed a tiara on his head.
People started coming in and they all gasped and cheered in glee. Kirishima was hanging off Bakugo, Mina was pulling her girlfrieng Camie along, Uraraka bounded in hand and hand with Tsu, Sero with Kaminari on his back, Iida blushing while being led in by Aoyama, Momo with Jirou, Todoroki Mineta and Tokoyami (the aro and/oraces of the class) walked in in a line. Hundreds of teens from every hero school in Japan. It seemed every queer teen in the room recognized the song and sang when it was time to.
“Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
It's time to dance!!”
Fatgum (who was closest to Bakugo) spun him around when he noticed a particular woman enter the room. Katsuki and his mother made eye contact. Fatgum pushed him forward slightly and Katsuki didn’t fight, just walked to his mom.
“What are you doing here, Hag?” He asked.
Mitsuki took a deep breath.
“We have a lot to talk about, but I’m here because there is one thing that matters to me more than anything else. You. You are my son and I have loved you since the moment I saw you and that will never change ever.” Mitsuki took her trembling sons hands. “Okay?”
Katsuki nodded and that was the first time most people in that room ever saw him cry. “Okay!” The the two Bakugo’s hugged while everyone cheered. Katsuki pulled his mother in to meet Kirishima.
Mic turned and caught sight of the corsages on a table and looked at his husband.
“Would you prefer gardenias or orchids?” The blond man asked.
“For what?” Aizawa questioned.
“Your corsage.” Mic said.
Aizawa blushed lightly and answered, “gardenias.”
“Aright!” Mic grabbed it then pulled his husband into a deep kiss while Midnight made kissy faces.
“This is more than I dared wish for
It's epic and what's more
Tonight there's room for anyone
So everyone on the floor
Get on the floor!!” Midoriya sang.
Everyone ran onto the dance floor. Everyone laughed and cheered and did flips and twirls. Everyone started singing again and anyone who knew the dance from the movie started to do it.
“It's time to
Build a prom for everyone
Show them all it can be done
If music blares and no one cares
Who your unruly heart loves
Build it now
Make people see how the world could one day be
It might come true if we take a chance
But 'til that day comes
I say cue the drums
And take to the floor
That's what the floor's for
It's time to dance!!”
Izuku and Hitoshi sang “I just wanna dance with you” while everyone else sang “it’s time to dance” before Izuku grabbed Hitoshi by and kissed him. Everyone, and I mean everyone, cheered.
-Twenty Years Later-
Izuku stood behind his daughter as he braided her hair in a fish tail braid.
“Hey dad?” She spoke up.
Izuku hummed in response.
“What was your prom like?” She asked.
Izuku chuckled and put a tie in to hold her hair in place.
“Megumi. That is a long story so how about Papa and I tell you after you get back.” He put his hands and her shoulders.
“He’s right. That story would take at least an hour and I don’t think your date wants to wait that long.” Hitoshi said as he entered the room.
Megumi blushed at the mention of her partner, Hiro Bakugo-Kirishima. Izuku and Hitoshi laughed and ushered her to the living room where they took her picture sent her to pick up her date.
