Just a few prohero!Deku headcanons bc I love him

Warnings: mentions of babies, spoilers for the new issue of BNHA

Pro-hero Deku is literally like, the gentlest giant. He’s probably like 6’5, 6’6 or something and he’s just absolutely JACKED because of all the work he had to do to be able to properly control One for All and he’s got hands like the size of a dinner plate

Despite this he is literally just the softest most dependable man

When he gets married he barely lets your feet touch the ground he always has you in some kind of romantic bridal carry and he looks at you like you hung the stars in the sky

And don’t even get me started on Deku with babies

Like I already have the Deku as a kindergarten teacher AU but Deku with babies Deku with babies DEKU WITH BABIES

He can literally fit a newborn baby in like the palm of his hand they’re just so small and tiny and he’s just no thoughts head empty only PROTECT

Like if you thought this man was protective before just wait until you put him in charge of a baby

You know how everybody has a story about how they hit their head or something as a child when their parents weren’t paying attention idk it’s always something you know what i’m talking about okay

NOT ON DEKU’S WATCH

He’s literally so careful with them

Okay but imagine pro-hero Deku getting home from a very long day and he’s all roughed up and he’s not even out of his suit but he’s just fast asleep on the bed not even under the covers with a tiny little baby dozing on his chest

Or better yet Deku in the same position but in sweats and an old t-shirt just KNOCKED OUT while this baby drools all over him but it’s okay bc Deku is definitely drooling a little bit too

I AM A BROKEN WOMAN

He spends so much extra time at crime or fight scenes because he’s talking to the kids on the scene bc there are always all these like 3-12 year olds who are just huge fans of him

All the other heroes on the scene are like, talking to the press or dealing with the police or something, but meanwhile Deku is just over here on his knees talking to these kids and he is always EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF EXCITED ABOUT THIS WHOLE AFFAIR AS THEY ARE

They’re like, “Mr. Deku sir, the way you punched that bad guy was totally awesome!!!” and he’s just like “I KNOW RIGHT!!! Okay but did you see the way DynaMight took down that one guy that was the biggest explosion I’ve EVER seen!!!!”

This rarely works out well for Katsuki because he usually ends up being swarmed by all these kids thanks to Deku and he has to refrain from swearing which he’s terrible at

There’s a swear jar somewhere that Kirishima set up that the Bakusquad makes him put money in every time he swears in front of the babies and the proceeds all go to a local children’s hospital

Bakugou is going BROKE he can’t keep doing this

Before he has kids of his own Deku is the chosen baby-sitter of all his friends kids just love him

I mean it makes sense he’s basically just a big kid himself

Okay but going back to Deku as a married man I feel like he would always be dancing with you

Like he’s always just sweeping you off into a slow dance around the kitchen just swaying softly to whatever music he’s got going

He’s really into date nights at home because he loves just being comfy on the couch and watching movies except really he’s just blatantly staring at you like not even kind of subtle about it

That being said he also adores taking you out to big hero galas and stuff because he ADORES getting to show you off

Pretends he doesn’t know how to tie a tie to get you to do it for him

You are well aware this is a scheme you just think it’s a very CUTE scheme and so allow it to happen

He thinks he’s getting away with it

You constantly have each other’s hands in the other’s back pocket it’s just like a thing with you guys don’t ask me why I can’t explain myself idk

Before every gala you go to you have to go buy a new dress and you always drag Deku along but he’s never any help because he’s legitimately awed by every single one you wear

You’re always like “How does this look” and he’s just staring, jaw dropped, about to just jump you in the middle of this very respectable establishment

This happens with every single dress

The one time he tried something you threatened not to bring him anymore

Since then he has been very well behaved

Always tries to buy you every single thing you try on

“But baby, why do I even have all this hero money if I can’t buy you a dress!”

“That is not one dress Izuku that is 20 dresses and half of them didn’t even look good on me.”

“Say that last part again because I am absolutely positive I misheard you.”

“No you heard me right.”

“I think I need to go get my ears checked I’ve been exposed to too many explosions this is all due to a lifetime of friendship with Kacchan”

“You know...that actually makes a lot of sense that man is already so hard of hearing it wouldn’t surprise me if it rubbed off on you.”

Basically he’s just a big dumb sweet boy who just wants to protect people and make them happy

I love him so much

So so much

I am so in love with yOU DON’T UNDERSTAND

Forget to add, for the steampunk!Izuku he is an adult

This was so fun to write! For this one I wrote reader as a steampunk version of hero support and she and Deku grew up together/went to a steampunk version of UA together. I hope this was kind of what you were looking for anon. Also, all of the characters in my drabbles are in their early 20′s unless stated otherwise. I only write x reader’s aged up, so no worries about that!

Warnings: implied bad relationship with parents, minor injuries

You had been tinkering for as long as you could remember. Your mother had called it an obsession, your father had called it a delusion, but you had always dreamed of being a mechanic. Today, that dream was true, but it hadn’t been an easy road. Ultimately, your salvation had been the heroes. When you were 15, All Might had let you work on his costume when, in the midst of battle, it was seriously damaged.

Now you wiped grease off your cheek, unaware that you were really just smearing it around. You were testing out something new for Todoroki’s costume. You were sure it was going to be incredible if you could just get it right. It had been giving you trouble though, spraying oil all over the place and mucking up your bronze framed goggles, a birthday present from Momo.

“Wow, looks like you’ve been working hard.”

You startled at the sound, spinning to see your favorite hero. Izuku Midoriya towered over you all the time, but he was especially tall right now in the rocket boots he had been testing out. You could only assume from his ripped vest that he had experienced mixed results.

“How did it go?”

“I don’t think these are really for me. Maybe Iida?”

You nodded. “Yeah, I think that might be for the best.”

You laughed a little bit, shaking your head at him.

“What?” He asked, pulling the boots off his feet.

“Well, it was probably silly of me to have you test them. You’re the only hero I know who could manage to hurt himself in a trial run.”

Deku’s freckled face turned cherry red in his signature blush. It was so easy to make the boy blush. You had to stop yourself from doing it for fun sometimes.

“I guess I do have sort of a talent for that.”

“Ever since we were kids. Life handed you scars like they were candy.” You frowned. “I worry about you sometimes, you know.”

“You shouldn’t!” He hurried to get the words out, tripping over himself. “I’m fine, I promise.”

You gave him a once over.

“Well first of all, I’m always going to worry about you because I care about you. Second of all, that’s a lie because you’re bleeding. Sit down.”

You reached for your first aid kit as he followed your instructions. You kept one around for situations like this. You got injured in your lab quite a bit, and it had come in handy more than once.

“You care about me?” he asked.

You kneeled down so that you were level with his wide, vulnerable eyes, beginning to dab at the cut on his forehead. He didn’t even flinch at the alcohol you used to sterilize it.

“Of course I do,” you said gently. “You’re...we’re...close.”

You placed the bandage on his forehead before he caught your wrist with one hand, the other lightly holding your chin. He studied your face for a moment, and the feel of his hot breath against your lips made your heart skip a beat. He locked eyes with you, and you saw some resolve harden.

“Close how? How do you care about me? Because I know how I care about you.” He leaned in till your noses were almost touching. “I ‘care’ about you like DaVinci cared about Mona Lisa, like Galileo cared about the night sky, like Rodin cared about clay. With all the raging powers of my heart. So have mercy on us both and don’t say care if you mean love because care is an insult to the depths of what I feel for you.”

You had never seen him be this intense about anything that wasn’t hero work. Your pulse hammered in your veins and you couldn’t look away from him.

“I do. I do love you. I love you, and I’ll learn how to say I love you in a thousand different languages just so you don’t get sick of hearing it because I’m not going to stop saying it, not as long as it’s true, not for forever.”

Like he sees this pretty thing ( it's you) and he decides...hell ya, I like what I see.

How does he do it?

First of all, this ask implies that I'm pretty and I DID blush so thank you 🥺

Also, YES FLIRTY/CONFIDENT DEKU I LOVE TO SEE IT. It's actually hard for me to write canon Deku bc I am a pretty flirty person lol.
