Shouji x fem reader
You and Shouji had been friends since they were kids. They've been through ups and downs together. He’s your best friend and you are Shouji's.
Most people in your town were off put by Shouji's appearance. When you first met him however,
“Whoa, you look like an octopus! I saw them at the aquarium and they're so cool! You must be really cool too!” You said with a toothy grin, you must've been 6 at the time. A little social butterfly.
“Really? Thanks.” Shouji had responded shyly. Nobody has told him his extra limbs were cool.
“I'm (Reader)! What's your name?”
“It's Mezou.. Mezou Shouji. It's nice to meet you.” Shouji is remembering to say polite words like his mom said to.
From then on you were friends, best friends. Despite opposite personalities you were very close. He was more quiet and introverted while you said “Hi!” to everyone you met. Though, you both believed that everybody is a person despite looks.
The first day Shouji started constantly wearing his mask. (Middle school)
During lunch, the time where you usually say “I love your mother” to Mezou, but he was wearing a mask today.
“Hey, Mezou. You have a mask on. Does that mean you're sick?” you asked during lunch. Your mouth was full of crackers your mom packed.
“No, I'm not sick. It's just that my mouth looks scary to some people and I don't want to frighten anyone." He responded.
“How are you gonna eat then?! … Oh right! You can make mouths because of your quirk. You know, I wish I had extra mouths so I could taste your mother in multiple spots at a time.”
“(Reader), you've never done that with my mom.” Shouji was hiding a smile under his mask, you always make the most out of pocket jokes
“Really now? Your mother might be pregnant after last night, I went raw on her.” You had said with the biggest grin on your face.
“(Reader), you can't get my mom pregnant, you're a woman.” He had tried to use logic.
“Are you saying that I can't do something because of my gender?!” You had questioned in mock offense.
“You quite literally lack the balls to do so.”
“Yet.”
“What could that possibly mean?”
“You're the smart one, figure it out nerd.”
