    Summary

    Wanted: One emotionally unavailable man with poor dating instincts and low expectations. Must like cats.

    Unfortunately for Shota, Izuku Midoriya answered.

    Turns out, making the worst Tinder profile imaginable only works if nobody as curious as Izuku ever sees it.


    You've been matched on Q-Connect+

    HeroNerd: Is your profile intentionally concerning?

    SleepingRedFlag:Yes.

    HeroNerd: Huh.

    HeroNerd:That's actually kind of fascinating.


    After years of quirkist discouragement kept him from pursuing heroics, Izuku built a career analyzing people instead. Shōta, meanwhile, has been forced onto a dating app by Present Mic and intends to repel every possible match with cats, coffee, a sleeping bag, and blunt warnings about his terrible schedule.

    Most people see red flags.
    Izuku sees a puzzle.

    What begins with one strange profile becomes late-night conversations, mutual curiosity, and the unexpected comfort of finding someone who never asks the other to perform.
