Yay! Class 1A done XD I might move onto the League or some of the Proheroes next but let me know what you wanna see
Here's a list of all my headcanons... I BEGGG someone draw one and tag me in it ๐ต๐ (1/2)
hi cool person!!! i was wondering if you could do texting iida? like any context, but just make it iida as our bf or friends to lovers or something. thankss
dating tenya iida is like loving a perfectly alphabetized fire drillโstructured, intense, and somehow exactly what you needed.
a short, slow-burn library romance, ft. one blueberry muffin, exactly zero jokes, and a boy who takes flashcards way too seriously. (4597 words)
you meet tenya iida under circumstances that can only be described as tragically collegiate: a peer-led study group in the furthest, quietest corner of the campus library, surrounded by half-dead fluorescent bulbs and the palpable despair of students on the brink of burnout.
it's the third week of the semester, and you're already floundering.
you hadn't intended to be. in theory, you were going to stay on top of thingsโread the chapters early, color-code your notes, maybe even start a study group of your own. but somewhere between sleep deprivation, an avalanche of discussion posts, and the mysterious black hole that is the university's online portal, you fell behind. hard.
introduction to public policy has been your academic nemesis from the start. the textbook reads like legal jargon swallowed a thesaurus. the professor talks in dense, circular metaphors. every quiz is a minefield of trick questions and ambiguous phrasing. you are, in every sense of the word, academically drowning.
so when a brightly colored flyer promising a "collaborative review session" caught your eye on the bulletin board outside the lecture hall, you didn't think twice. you showed up. desperate. caffeinated. terminally underprepared.
and now you regret everything.
the room smells like dry-erase markers and nervous sweat. a whiteboard at the front is covered in illegible graphs. someone has already spilled a latte on the floor. the guy leading the group talks fast and loud, his explanations full of buzzwords and gestures but lacking anything remotely useful. you suspect he's just regurgitating the study guide at a slightly faster pace.
the other students seem to agree.
one by one, they start to trickle out. a girl leaves with the excuse of "office hours." a guy mutters something about dinner. another just quietly packs up and disappears, not even bothering with a pretense.
by the end of the hour, only two people remain: you, clinging to a futile hope of salvaging your gpa... and him.
he sits across from you with the kind of posture that makes your back ache just looking at him. tall, composed, and absurdly polishedโlike someone who writes essays three days early and carries a spare pen in case someone forgets theirs. his navy-blue sweater is wrinkle-free. his glasses catch the dim library light. his notes are not just color-codedโthey're thematically organized, annotated with footnotes and marginalia in tiny, immaculate handwriting.
he hasn't spoken once. he hasn't needed to.
he radiates competence like it's a moral obligation.
"you're still here?" you ask, more surprise than judgment.
the boy looks up, blinking as if surfacing from a well of deep concentration. he adjusts his glasses with a practiced motion.
"yes," he says, voice clipped and oddly formal. "you are as well."
you arch an eyebrow. "no offense, but... are you actually getting something out of this?"
his expression doesn't change, but he tilts his head slightlyโalmost like he's assessing you.
"of course," he replies. "engaging in structured group review enhances cognitive retention and contextual understanding. it's an effective method for consolidating knowledge prior to a high-stakes assessment."
you blink. "so... yes?"
he doesn't hesitate. "yes."
you snortโaudibly. it escapes before you can stop it. and to your surprise, a faint smile flickers across his mouth.
"i'm tenya iida," he says, extending a hand across the table with the kind of precision reserved for formal introductions at university mixers.
you stare at his hand for a moment, then take it. his grip is warm. steady. confident in a way that makes you sit up a little straighter.
"y/n," you say.
his smile grows just slightly. "it's a pleasure to meet you, y/n."
he releases your hand and immediately pulls out a second set of flashcards from his folder. of course he has a second set.
"would you like to quiz each other?" he asks, dead serious. "alternating questions could be a mutually beneficial method of review."
you stare at him.
he stares back.
something about himโthe earnestness, the posture, the complete and utter lack of sarcasmโdisarms you. it's like he's the living embodiment of academic sincerity. you're not sure whether to laugh or agree.
you do both.
"...sure."
you don't know it yet, but that's the beginning.
โหโฟหยฐ
you don't plan on seeing him again.
it's not personal. it's just that study groups are the social equivalent of jury dutyโtemporary, miserable, and best forgotten. you assume tenya iida is one of those hyper-dedicated overachievers who only exist within the academic ecosystem. he probably recedes into a cloud of flashcards and moral fiber as soon as the library closes.
you are, however, proven categorically wrong the following wednesday at exactly 8:03 a.m.
you enter the campus cafรฉ half-awake, mildly hostile, and fully dependent on the idea of caffeine as a substitute for sleep. the plan is simple: grab something with enough espresso to make your eye twitch, stare blankly at your phone for fifteen minutes, and pretend the crushing weight of institutional learning isn't slowly hollowing you out from the inside.
but fateโor perhaps syllabus-based divine interventionโhas other plans.
because when you step inside, there he is.
same posture. same glasses. same stupidly crisp button-down like it didn't just come out of someone's laundry but graduated magna cum laude from it. he's seated at a table by the window, surrounded by highlighters arranged like soldiers, reading the textbook that has been your personal tormentor since week one.
and next to his coffee?
a single blueberry muffin.
you hesitate, caught in that weird space where it's too late to pretend you didn't see him, but also too awkward to walk past without acknowledging him.
before you can make a decision, he looks upโand smiles.
not just a polite, "ah yes, i recognize you" smile.
a real smile. brief, but sincere. like he's actually glad you're here.
he waves you over.
you hate how quickly your legs respond.
"didn't expect to see you here," you say as you slide into the seat across from him, instantly aware of how tired you look in comparison to his perfectly combed hair and terrifying punctuality.
"i study here most mornings," he replies. "the ambient noise level is consistent, and the natural lighting is optimal for focus."
you blink. "that is... alarmingly specific."
he inclines his head. "i find that consistency breeds productivity."
you want to tease him, but the truth is, it's kind of admirable. alarming. but admirable.
he gestures to the pastry between you.
"would you like half?" he asks. "it's fresh. and i believe we have, at this point, established a cordial enough rapport to justify the sharing of breakfast items."
you stare at him.
"do you always offer muffins to people you've only studied with once?"
he doesn't even flinch. "only when they look tired enough to deserve one."
your mouth twitches.
"you've been saving that line, haven't you."
he looks mildly offended. "no. though i could annotate it in my planner if you'd like."
you laughโgenuinely this timeโand accept the muffin. it's warm, sweet, and annoyingly perfect. just like him.
you don't pull out your flashcards. not immediately. you sit there in companionable silence, splitting the muffin and sipping your drinks like it's something you've always done. like this is normal.
you tell yourself this isn't a date. obviously.
it's too early in the day for romance. you're both clutching textbooks like weapons. he hasn't even made a single joke. (you're not sure he knows how.)
and yetโ
when he leans in to show you a section he highlightedโcarefully annotated with footnotes and marginal notes that are somehow neater than your typed essaysโyour shoulders brush. you don't pull away.
he doesn't, either.
later, you realize that you don't even remember what chapter you reviewed.
but you remember the sound of his voice as he quietly explained it. the way he passed you the last bite of muffin without saying anything. the way his fingers curled ever so slightly when he set his pen down between you.
you remember thinking, with a strange flutter in your chest: this could be something.
not yet.
but maybe.
โหโฟหยฐ
you tell yourself this is still just about school.
you repeat it like a mantra as you meet him at the library every tuesday and thursday without fail, settling into your now-permanent seats by the windows like assigned partners in some ongoing group project that no one else remembers being assigned to. his bag always lands on the table first, followed by a reusable water bottle the size of your emotional baggage. he brings extra highlighters nowโpluralโand starts leaving a green one near your elbow like heโs not even thinking about it.
you, in turn, stop pretending to study anywhere else.
because the truth is, you donโt concentrate better when heโs aroundโnot even a little. heโs distracting in the worst possible way: tall and tidy and terminally composed, with a voice like a podcast host and a smile that you pretend not to notice every time he glances over at you with something like pride in his eyes.
and the worst part?
itโs working.
your grades are going up. you understand policy terminology now. you caught yourself referencing a case studyย unpromptedย in another class, and the look your professor gave you made it feel like youโd just been knighted.
youโd thank him for itโsincerelyโif he didnโt look so smug every time you nailed a quiz.
โyouโve clearly been applying yourself,โ he says one evening, looking over your annotated notes like theyโre some kind of sacred text.
โiโve been applyingย yourย study methods,โ you reply, then instantly regret it, because the smile he gives you in return isย devastating.
and that would be fineโannoying, but fineโif it werenโt for the fact that heโs started sitting closer.
not drastically. notย inappropriately.ย just... close.
close enough that when you both lean in to look at something on the same page, your shoulders brush. your knees knock. his hand lingers near yours when he passes you a pen, and he doesnโt move away quickly. sometimesโand this is particularly evilโhis thigh rests against yours under the table for minutes at a time, and youโre too proud (and too panicked) to say anything.
youโre not flirting. not really.
youโre both too stubborn for that.
but something is happening. you just donโt know what to call it.
one thursday afternoon, the sky is gray and heavy with the threat of rain. the windows in the library fog up slightly, making the whole room feel smaller, softer, somehow more intimate. your shoes are damp. your brain is fried. youโre barely holding onto your focus.
but heโs already there, sitting at your usual table with a mug from the downstairs cafรฉ and a folder labeledย โlegislation review: week 5.โย thereโs a muffin. of course thereโs a muffin.
he looks up as you approach. smiles. โyouโre early.โ
you blink. โso are you.โ
he shrugs. โanticipation is efficient.โ
โwhat does that even mean?โ
he hesitates, like heโs genuinely considering it. โit means i enjoy this.โ
your heart does something stupid.
you take your seat before your face can give you away.
thirty minutes in, your brain stops processing information entirely.
youโre trying to focus. really, you are. but his leg is pressed against yours and you swear itโs gettingย closerย every time he shifts. itโs not even the contact itself thatโs distractingโitโs the fact that he doesnโt seem to notice. like itโs just normal. like this is how he always studies with people.
(does he?)
(no. he canโt.)
โy/n?โ he says, and you jolt like youโve been electrocuted.
โhm?โ
โi asked if youโd like to walk through the case brief again. you seem... distant.โ
you clear your throat and try not to sound like someone whose brain has just been wiped by a thigh. โyeah, no, iโm fine. just tired.โ
he nods solemnly. โunderstandable. your coursework has been particularly intensive.โ
he says it like he knows your schedule better than you doโwhich he might. youโve seen his planner. youโre pretty sure heโs memorized the entire academic calendar, national holidays included.
you try to return to your notes.
you fail.
eventually, you lean back in your chair and exhale.
โokay,โ you say. โi need to ask you something.โ
he looks up, immediately attentive. โyes?โ
you glance aroundโno oneโs within earshotโ and lean in slightly.
โthis thing we do.โ
he blinks. โstudying?โ
โno. i mean yes, but no.โ you gesture vaguely between the two of you. โthis.ย the muffins. the flashcards. the... sitting so close i can smell your laundry detergent.โ
he goes still.
โiโm just trying to understand if weโre, like...โ you hesitate. โis this just a really intense academic friendship or are we... flirting?โ
he doesnโt speak for a long moment.
then, carefully: โi hadnโt realized my proximity was making you uncomfortable.โ
โitโs not!โ you say, too quickly. โitโs just... confusing.โ
โconfusing how?โ
you fidget with the cap of your pen. โbecause we do things that feel... date-adjacent. and i donโt know if thatโs just how you are with people or if iโmโโ you stop yourself before you can sayย not imagining it.
his brows draw together, faintly perplexed. โi apologize. i didnโt mean to cause confusion.โ
you blink. โso youย areย flirting?โ
his ears go pink. just slightly. โi wouldnโt define it as flirting. but i do enjoy spending time with you.โ
you squint at him. โthatโs not a no.โ
he hesitates. then, quieter: โitโs not.โ
oh.
you stare at him. he stares back.
and thenโlike the universe canโt stand unresolved tensionโyour knees bump again.
but this time, he doesnโt shift away.
and neither do you.
โหโฟหยฐ
you donโt call it a date.
not out loud.
not even in your head, reallyโnotย technically.ย because youโre not dating. you havenโt kissed. thereโs been no confession. thereโs been no moment of clarity where either of you has stood dramatically in the rain and saidย i think about you all the time,ย which, honestly, is a bit disappointing.
but you still change your outfit three times before meeting him for coffee on saturday.
you still hesitate in front of the mirror, adjusting your sleeves and second-guessing your hair, mutteringย get a gripย under your breath like itโs a prayer.
you still pause at the door to the cafรฉ, one hand on the handle, and remind yourselfโagainโthat this isnโt a date.
youโre just meeting up. casually. like friends.
friends who sometimes sit with their knees touching under library tables. friends who share muffins and steal glances and somehow always find reasons to linger a little too long in doorways.
friends who, if they werenโt so emotionally constipated, mightโve figured this out already.
but you push the door open anyway, and the little bell overhead chimes bright and familiar.
heโs already there.
of course he is.
tenya iida is punctual to the point of pathology. if you told him to meet you in the afterlife at 3:00 p.m. sharp, heโd be there early, holding a clipboard and a fully prepared powerpoint.
heโs sitting near the window, back straight, hands folded politely in his lap. his hair is a little messy from the wind outside. his sweater is navyโclean, simple, a little oversized in a way that makes you stare longer than you should.
he sees you and stands immediately, which is both adorable and completely unnecessary.
โyouโre early,โ he says, voice warm.
โso are you.โ
he doesnโt reply, but the smile he gives you is soft around the edges.
you order something with too much caffeine and not enough nutritional value. he offers to pay, like he always does. you decline, likeย youย always do. itโs a silent tradition now, a ritual of stubbornness. he lets it go with a quiet nod, but not without giving you that lookโthe one that saysย i was raised right and this physically pains me.
you find a booth in the corner, a little more secluded than the rest. the sun spills in through the window in soft golden streaks, and for a moment, it feels like youโre somewhere outside of time.
โiโve never seen you wear that color,โ he says as you sit down.
you glance at your shirt. โyeah? too much?โ
he shakes his head immediately. โno. it suits you.โ
your mouth goes a little dry.
you recover quickly, leaning back and sipping your drink like it doesnโt mean anything. like the warmth crawling up your neck is from the coffee and not the compliment.
โso,โ you say, clearing your throat. โwhatโs on the agenda for today? rigorous academic analysis? philosophical debates about economic ethics? impromptu pop quizzes?โ
he tilts his head. โi thought we might take the day off.โ
you blink. โfrom... studying?โ
โfrom everything.โ he shrugs, a little sheepishly. โi realized weโve never spent time together without a textbook between us.โ
your heart does something strange.
โyou mean like... just hang out?โ
โyes.โ
โlike friends.โ
he hesitates. just barely. โyes. like friends.โ
the words hang in the air between youโawkward, uncertain, but not unkind.
you nod, slowly. โokay. yeah. we can do that.โ
and you do.
you talk. not about school, not about deadlines or group projects or the upcoming midterm. you talk about dumb childhood stories and weird food preferences and the fact that he once tried to start a recycling initiative in his middle school and wasย veryย upset when no one followed the sorting chart correctly.
you tell him about your obsession with terrible reality TV. he listens with the seriousness of a man taking notes for a thesis.
he tells you about his older brother, and how much he looks up to him. you tell him about the stray cat that used to follow you home in high school, even though you never fed it.
he laughsโreallyย laughsโwhen you tell him about the time you broke your nose in gym class trying to dodge a volleyball and ran straight into a bleacher.
โiโm sorry,โ he says between gasps. โi donโt mean to laugh at your pain.โ
โno, you do,โ you say, grinning. โand itโs okay. i would too.โ
at one point, your knees bump under the table again. this time, neither of you pulls away.
itโs later than you mean it to be when you finally leave the cafรฉ. the sun is dipping low, the sky tinged with lavender and orange. the street is quiet, and the wind bites just enough to make you zip your jacket up.
you walk together. not toward the library, not toward another classโjust aimlessly. like people who have nowhere else to be.
itโs peaceful.
and weirdly... intimate.
youโre not talking. not really. the silence between you is comfortable now, lived-in. every so often your hands brush, and you wonderโwildly, stupidly โwhat would happen if you justย reached out.
but you donโt.
because this isnโt a date.
itโs not.
except maybe... it is.
โthis was nice,โ you say, when you finally reach the crosswalk where youโll part ways.
he nods. โi enjoyed it.โ
thereโs a beat of silence.
โwe should do it again,โ you say. casually. like it doesnโt mean anything.
but he looks at you like itย does.
โiโd like that,โ he says. and thenโโyouโre very easy to be around.โ
your breath catches.
you want to say something.ย youโre easy to be around too. i think about you when weโre not together. i donโt know if iโm imagining this but i hope iโm not.
instead, you say, โyouโre weirdly charming, you know that?โ
he blinks. โiโthank you?โ
you grin. โitโs a compliment. mostly.โ
he laughs. soft. pleased. โiโll take it.โ
he takes a small step back, like heโs about to leave โbut then pauses.
โy/n?โ
โyeah?โ
โif thisย hadย been a date...โ he clears his throat. โwould that have been... agreeable to you?โ
you stare at him.
then, slowlyโcarefullyโyou nod.
โyeah,โ you say. โi think it wouldโve been.โ
he smiles. itโs small. tentative. but it lights up his whole face.
โthen maybe next time, we wonโt pretend.โ
you feel like youโre floating.
โdeal.โ
he nods once. then, with a strange, lingering sort of hesitationโlike heโs not ready to go yetโhe turns to leave.
you watch him go.
and for the first time in a long time, you feel... hopeful.
โหโฟหยฐ
you don't know what you're expecting.
when he texts you the next morningโsame time tuesday? not for studying this time. if you're free.โyou stare at it for a good ten minutes before responding. not because youโre unsure of your answer (youโre not), but because the implication hits like a freight train.
not for studying.
not as friends.
just you. just him. again.
this time, itโs a little different.
this time, heโs calling it what it is.
you donโt overthink your reply (for once). you just typeย yeah. iโm freeย and throw your phone face-down before your heart can beat out of your chest.
and when tuesday rolls around, you are twenty minutes early.
you tell yourself itโs because the weatherโs nice and the walk was shorter than usual and you didnโt want to cut it close. but the truth is, youโve been ready since noon.
youโre wearing the sweater he said he liked once, months ago, after a study session where he handed you a highlighter and your fingers brushed and you both paused like the world might end. itโs not even your warmest or your nicest sweater. itโs just... the one he looked at a little too long.
you donโt want to admit what that means.
you sit in your usual seat by the window. a small table, worn edges. your coffee in hand. no textbooks. no flashcards. just the sound of the cafรฉ around you and the low simmer of anticipation in your chest.
he walks in three minutes early, which is basically scandalous by iida standards.
you glance up, and the second your eyes meet, he smiles.
itโs not his usual polite, committee-appropriate smile.
itโs something else.
something softer.
he sits down across from you like heโs been doing it his whole life.
you stare at him for a second too long.
โyouโre early,โ he says, like itโs a fact worth noting. his voice is gentler than usual.
โso are you.โ
โa rare occurrence.โ
โshould i be concerned?โ
he laughsโquietly, warmly. โi thought you might say that.โ
you both go quiet.
not awkward quiet. just... full.
full of everything youโre not saying.
you sip your drink and hope your heart doesnโt explode.
twenty minutes in, you realize youโve forgotten what time it is.
again.
youโre talking about something stupidโa professor you both silently hate but never speak ill of in classโand heโs mimicking their voice in a whisper, hand shielding his mouth, and youโreย laughing.
like genuinely, honestly laughing.
like you donโt have a hundred things weighing you down.
he always does that. makes everything feel easier. lighter.
itโs dangerous, how much you like it.
how much you likeย him.
you havenโt said it. not out loud. not even to yourself.
but the truth is: youโre in trouble.
deep trouble.
because tenya iida has the power to wreck you in a way no one else ever has.
not because heโs dramatic. not because heโs charming (though he is, in that annoying, understated, golden-retriever-with-a-perfect-credit-score kind of way).
but because heโs steady.
because heย meansย things.
because when he looks at you, itโs like youโre someone worth understanding.
and youโve never been loved gently before.
not like this.
you walk out together.
neither of you mentions how long you stayed. itโs dark out, but neither of you cares.
you walk close, side by side. your hands brush once, then again. his fingers twitch toward yours, and you pretend not to noticeโnot because you donโt want it, but because youโre not sure what happens if you reach back.
you talk about nothing. and everything.
he tells you about the time his older brother accidentally dyed his hair blue with a shampoo prank and how no one in their house was allowed to mention it for an entire year.
you tell him about the time you accidentally set off a fire alarm trying to microwave leftover curry in a dorm that very explicitly prohibited strong-smelling food.
โyouโre a menace,โ he says, laughing.
you bump your shoulder into his. โyou say that like itโs a bad thing.โ
he glances at you. โi didnโt say that.โ
you both stop at the crosswalkโthe same one where you stood days ago.
the same one where he askedย if this had been a date...
youโre not pretending anymore.
and yet.
you donโt know what to say.
you just look at him, the wind brushing through your sleeves, your fingers cold where theyโre shoved into your pockets.
he looks at you.
longer than before.
long enough that your heart stumbles.
and thenโquietlyโhe says, โcan i ask you something?โ
you nod. โof course.โ
his voice is softer than youโve ever heard it. careful.
โwhy me?โ
you blink. โwhat?โ
โwhy... this?โ he gestures gently between you. โi know iโm not the most exciting person. iโm not particularly funny or... spontaneous.โ
you frown. โiida.โ
โiโm just trying to understand,โ he says. โwhy you keep showing up.โ
you want to sayย because i like the way you talk when youโre tired,ย orย because your laugh makes me want to listen to every dumb story youโve ever told.
you want to sayย because iโve never felt so calm next to another person in my entire life.
instead, you say, โbecause when iโm with you, i donโt feel like i have to be anyone else.โ
his expression shifts.
his jaw tightens. his eyes soften.
he takes a step closer.
โi donโt want to mess this up,โ he says.
โyouโre not.โ
โi donโt want to misread it.โ
you exhale, a laugh escaping despite yourself. โyouโre not.โ
his hand lifts, hesitatesโthen lands gently against your cheek.
you stop breathing.
โmay i kiss you?โ he asks.
you nod before your brain catches up.
โyeah,โ you whisper. โyou may.โ
and he does.
itโs not rushed.
itโs not fiery or desperate.
itโs patient. reverent. like heโs memorizing the feeling. like heโs been waiting for the right moment and this, finally, is it.
his lips press softly against yours, and your hands lift automatically to his jacket, holding on, grounding yourself.
when you part, he leans his forehead against yours.
youโre both quiet for a moment.
then he says, โiโve wanted to do that for a long time.โ
you smile. โi could tell.โ
โwas i too obvious?โ
โpainfully.โ
he laughs, arms sliding around your waist like itโs the most natural thing in the world.
โthis is still new,โ he says. โi know that.โ
you nod.
โbut iโm willing to take it slow.โ
โokay.โ
โiโll be patient.โ
โokay.โ
he pauses. โand iโd like to take you to dinner. an actual dinner. with reservations and menus and probably overpriced appetizers.โ
you grin. โare you asking me on a real date?โ
he lifts your hand and presses a kiss to your knuckles.
โyes,โ he says. โiโm asking.โ
โthen yes,โ you reply. โiโm saying yes.โ
you walk home hand-in-hand.
you donโt have to say anything.
itโs not pretending anymore.
and for onceโfinallyโthat feels like enough.
hii!! i love ur smaus i read the shinso and dabi fatherhood ones and they were amazing ๐ฉท๐ฉท
I wanted to request a fatherhood smau with either monoma or iida and ofc no pressure ๐ซถ๐ป
tenya iida is doing his best. you're doing... something. your child is doing whatever they want
Literally eating up every smau you pump out ๐๐๐๐๐ could I rq an Iida one? One where he has a hung crush on his bestie of YEARSSS but they're dating a guy he literally cannot stand?
tenya knew being your best friend meant loving you from the sidelines, even while you gave your heart to the wrong person.
โจ when rule-following iida gets partnered with chaos incarnate for a lab partner, he expects disasterโnot a crush.

he probably already knows your name, quirk, and a brief summary of your academic record before actuallyย meetingย you. he did his research, okay? UA is prestigious!.
first interaction? most likely during orientation. he's making sure everyone is following the rules, and you're probably one of the few who actually are. instant respect.
if you're evenย slightlyย late to class, even by a minute, you'll get a polite but firm lecture about punctuality being a vital trait for a hero. he's not trying to be mean, he's trying to help.
introductions are formal. a deep bow, a clear enunciation of his name, and a summary of his goals as a hero. prepare for a handshake that means business.
he'll probably (and literally) run into you in the hallway, especially if you're rushing. a sincere apology is issued, accompanied by a lecture on the importance of being aware of your surroundings.
study sessions become a thing early on. not necessarily because he needs help, but because he's happy to provide it. be prepared to takeย veryย detailed notes.
if you ever defend him from bakugo's explosions or teasing, he will be eternally grateful. like, writing-you-a-thank-you-note grateful.
he respects your dedication to becoming a hero, and that's a major factor in him evenย noticingย you beyond a classmate. he admires hard work and resolve.
the crush hits him like a speeding engine. one moment he's focused on hero training, the next he's acutely aware of your presence.
he tries to analyze his feelings logically. he'll write down a list of your positive traits, comparing them to the qualities of an ideal hero. It's... endearing.
he'll attempt to be "casual" but fails spectacularly. expect stilted conversations, overly formal greetings, and maybe even a slight stutter.
he starts noticing the little things: the way you focus in class, the way you help others, your smile. he may even write these things down.
secretly, he admires your quirk. he's fascinated by its applications and effectiveness. he'll ask you about it, phrasing it as "research," but it's really just an excuse to talk to you.
he becomes fiercely protective of you during training exercises. he won't let you get hurt, even if it means risking himself.
if he sees you struggling with something (homework, a training technique), he'll be the first to offer assistance. expect a detailed explanation and hands-on guidance.
he will absolutely ask his brother, ingenium for advice (and get teased relentlessly). tensei probably gives him the worst, most cliche love advices ever.
he blushes so easily! a simple compliment from you can send his face into overdrive.
the confession is direct and earnest. he'll lay out his feelings clearly, explain why he admires you, and ask you to consider being his partner. no beating around the bush.
dates are planned with military precision. expect a detailed itinerary, backup plans, and contingency measures for every possible scenario.
he's a gentleman. doors are opened, chairs are pulled out, and he always walks you home safely.
he takes your opinions and ideasย veryย seriously. he values your input and will always consider your perspective.
PDA is kept to a minimum. maybe holding hands while walking, but anything more is reserved for private moments.
he loves studying with you. he finds it soothing and productive to hear your input on different topics
he's a surprisingly good listener. he genuinely cares about your thoughts and feelings, and he'll remember everything you tell him.
he will help you organizeย everything. your notes, your training schedule, your closet. it's his love language.
When you two have alone time, he relaxes a lot. the serious Tenya disappears and you get to see a goofy, loving side of him where he becomes more confident.
he likes learning from you. he always wants to improve as a hero and a human being so you teaching him things makes him happy.
he cherishes your relationship more than hero work sometimes, and he makes sure you know that.
he will write you letters instead of text, especially when he is away.
he loves giving you piggyback rides because of his engines. he will run you around everywhere, and he only stops when you ask him to stop.
he loves wearing matching outfits with you. they may not be the most fashionable, but he will love wearing them with you always!

- Momo makes her a bunch of really warm outfits, coats, mittens, scarves, socks, blankets, you name it.ย She had to do a bit of research for making the materials, but she thought the extra work was more than worth it since she knew Tsu would be warm.
- If Todorokiโs there, you better bet your bottom dollar that heโs on her right. This was originally him just standing or sitting next to her, but not anymore. No, now he makes her cuddle with him on the couch and if their standing, sheโs now on his left hip snuggling into him.
- This ^ happens at any given moment whether one of themโs in the middle of doing homework or having a conversation.
- Sato will bring her to his room right after heโs made her some kind of pastry so she can eat hot food in a really warm room. He will also make her soup so she gets real food into her as well.
- When Tokoyami sees her shivering, he gets Dark Shadow to collect as many blankets as he can to wrap her up in.
- Shoji gives her all of his sweaters and some pants to put over her clothes in hopes that they will keep her warm. He also will hold her and shield her when they have to go outside.
- Mineta originally opts for them taking off their shirts for body heat but after that didnโt go very well for him, he now makes her hot chocolate and refills the cup every time she finishes it.
- Kirishima sets up a workout for the two of them to do together to get her moving and sweating, Now whether that be an actual workout or Just Dance depends on the day and how cold she is.
- Uraraka runs a really warm bath for her with a portable heater in the bathroom so she wonโt be cold when she gets out.
ย - Sero tapes heating packs all over her body so she physically canโt be warm.
- Koda lets her play with his rabbit and she gets so happy from it that she forgets about the cold for a bit, especially when itโs cuddling with her and when sheโs chasing it around.ย
- Kaminari shocks her and as stupid as it sounds, it actually works for a little bit. After that, he gets her to race him through the halls.
- Midoriya makes her a fort of pillows and blankets in the common area where they just lie and cuddle. Sometimes, she ends up with her whole body - aside from her head - under the couch cushions and heโll sit on a cushion that she isnโt under or heโll chill on the floor.
- Jiro was surprisingly the one who thought about having pillow fights, rather than something less goofy. Nonetheless, it works and they have a blast.
- Mina tries to teach her new dances and sometimes they play a very intense game of leap frog.
- Aoyama gets her the warmest things he can find and has her put them on for their fashion show. They do this in the common area so everyone can see how ridiculous she looks in all of these fluffy sweaters, pajamas and snow pants.
- Iida raises the temperature of their dorm building until she is comfortable and everyone else has to be in their summer wear to be comfortable.
- Ojiro wraps her up with his tail tightly so there isnโt any room for the cold to get her.
- Hagakure tucks her into bed (since Tsuโs room is on the top floor, it would be warmer) and suffocates her with the stuffed animals she brought up with her.
- Bakugo will blow something up to start a fire and get her to sit with him around it or gets her to beat up a punching bag as he screams at her, which is something they do together even when sheโs warm so she can let out some stress
Bonus:
Aizawa lets her use his sleeping bag during class.
Midoriya, walking in with the rest of the Dekusquad: Hey, Todoroki! would you like to play two truths and a lie with us?
Todoroki: Uh, sure. Can I go first?
Midoriya: Of course!
Todoroki: Okay. I have a sister, I like the colour yellow, and Iโve been in love with you for so long and Iโm going to die if I never get the chance to kiss you.
Midoriya:
The rest of the Dekusquad:
Todoroki:
Tsu: That took an interesting turn.
Uraraka: Yeah, that got pretty specific.
Iida: ...Is the lie that youโre in love with Midoriya?
Tsu: It would be smart to do it that way since you made it so obvious.
Todoroki: What? No, the lie was that I like the colour yellow. I mean, it looks good on other people but I donโt care for it.
The Dekusquad:
Midoriya: Oh, I thought you liked yellow. Well, Iโll make sure to avoid using it when getting you things.
Todoroki: Thank you.
Midoriya:ย No problem.
Midoriya: wAIT A SECOND
Todoroki: Marry me.
* Sorry if this ship isnโt your cup of tea, but I have been in love with it ever since the Provisional Licence Exam
Anyhoo, you know how Aoyama eats alone in the classroom?
One day at lunch, Iida walks in the class to get something he forgot and sees Aoyama eating in there by himself as usual. Then his mind is likeย โokay, time to go. We grabbed the thingโ but his body doesnโt move, so to relieve the awkward silence, he invites him to eat again. Like before, Aoyama declines but thanks him anyway and gets back to eating with the expectation that Iida will leave like every other time. Iida does but when he gets to the door, he looks back in and for a reason that he doesnโt understand, he feels like he canโt leave the boy to eat alone. So, considering the pattern of Aoyama refusing to go eat around everyone else, he asks Aoyama if instead, he can stay in the classroom with him. Aoyama is taken aback but nonetheless agrees, resulting in Iida not eating with the others anymore - much to Aoyamaโs concern.
At first, the gesture was purely out of pity and kindness, but like during the provisional licence exam, Aoyama changed his opinion of him. Like, Iida finds himself making more time to hang out with Aoyama when theyโre in the dorms, before/after class, training, anything. He even suggested tutoring to help with the latterโs grades. Of course, he still makes time for Uraraka and Midoriya but itโs more commonplace for everyone to be wondering where he is when heโs hanging out in Aoyamaโs room. Iidaโs desire to hang out gets to the point where whenever theyโre apart, he feels like he needs to bridge the gap, which at first startled Aoyama. Thankfully after a while of it, he got used to hearing Iida politely knock on his door and settled into the routine of having him there most of the time.
And then it happened.
The more Iida hung out with Aoyama, the more he felt he needed to. And after having the pretty french blonde run up to him excited and beaming because he got an A on a test, Iida realized the urge came from his crush on him. At first, he tried to deny it by distancing himself from Aoyama, but he canโt resist those alluring indigo eyes for long, especially when heโs upset about the lack of interaction. So plan B was to just act like everything was normal, but when youโre a mess every time your crush smiles or winks at you, it becomes difficult. With that in mind, he seeks out Uraraka and Mina to find out what he should do as they were the ones who had spent the most time with him, aside from himself. It turns out to be the most successful plan as they are very enthusiastic and give him great pointers he wouldnโt have ever realized without them.
Many attempted flirts and subtle hints later and he found himself convincing Aoyama to spend the night with him in the common area. When he did, they watched movies, ate cheese, and talked about life, while Iida fought urges to kiss Aoyama and doย more. He only gives in when Aoyama falls asleep on his shoulder and he kisses the latterโs head. It turns out that Aoyama was still kind of awake and felt the action, which led to a very awkward attempt at denying it ever happened. That changed, however, when Aoyama pouted and said โaw, thatโs too bad. I was just about to kiss you backโ, causing Iida to immediately take it back and confess his love for him to get that kiss.
They ended up falling asleep together on the couch with Aoyamaโs head on Iidaโs chest, thus, the beginning of their relationship.
Dekusquad but as what I imagine them to have on their keys :)
