Me when someone asks my opinions on Midoriya and Hatsume being a viable couple:

My submission for @endlesslovezine !

Love my crazy lil guys.

ohhhhh i never really thought of them romantically, but i do think they have such a fun dynamic, and now this got me thinking that they would be such a intense couple

mei is probably the only person in bnha that can outmatch izuku's freak??? but i think they could spend hours talking about hero stuff and analyses/ideas, so i can see them bonding over that! maybe the relationship starts because of this, mei is not really into anyone that wont share her passion for novelty and inventions, or that it wont be as invested as her in hero stuff, and izuku is probably the closest she can have to someone like that, that will not only listen but also bounce off ideas back to her!!

Mei has to work with a lot of different kinds of materials, some of which would definitely be on the heavier side. She'd probably having some light muscle-tone from her work in the support course & in the future as a professional support item designer

Just another thing for Izuku to love her for

Mei had calculated everything. Well, except for some miscalculations with her babies, but thatvwas just part of the process. You couldn't make an omelet without blowing the kitchen up, afterall. No, that wasn't right. Maybe that's why her parents never let her make breakfast.

That was irrelevant, however. There was one variable that she had not foreseen, a detail that could throw her whole schedule off course.

She had fallen for a boy. An incredibly eager, brave, dorky hero student with a dusting of freckles on his face and eyes like emeralds. She had never bothered memorizing names on her own...until him.

She thought he was just a good client/ test subject, but over time, he became more.

He was her first crush her age. An actual friend, and perhaps even her muse. She had to get this perfect, which is why she knew the calculations for this would be foolproof...because her other calculations were not. Mei lowered her goggles and got to work.

Around the same time, Izuku Midoriya was walking towards the support studio. He was very pleased with his last upgrade. It was actually handled by someone else, since Mei was handling a pile of other projects. Alit functioned well enough either way. And yet, it lacked that touch that was used to.

Izuku knew Mei was busy but he wanted to show his appreciation, so he had brought a bento he had made, tailored to her specifications. For a moment, he thought of Mei: how energetic and dedicated and chaotic she could be. He was happy to have met her. Perhaps one day, they could...no. "Clear your head, Izuku, he thought to himself as he shook the previous notions away. He hummed to himself as he reached for the handle.

KABOOM!

Once again, the door blew off its hinges and Mei had landed ontop of Izuku. It was just like the last time, except their lips were touching.

Mei slowly fluttered her eyes open and blushed as she saw what had happened: their first kiss, the only way it could have happened. She dusted herself off and punched the air!

"YES! I DID IT! THE TRAJECTORY WAS CORRECT! FIRST KISS, BABY! YEAH!"

She looked over at Izuku, who was completely wide-eyed and red in the face. He was barely able to get a word out as he clung to the bento. It was saved, but only because it was cushioned and held securely. The former added even more to Izuku's brain malfunctioning.

Mei looked at the boy. "You ok? Midoriya? MIDORIYA! IZUKU!" She clicked her tongue and looked at the box.

"Ah, nice. Grub. You're such a sweetheart. Thanks. She blushed as she planted a kiss on the boy's cheek and grabbed her lunch. "Two for two. Let's get you inside."

 “Wait, you want to be a Quirkless hero?! LET ME BE YOUR INVENTOR!” 

 They were the words that Izumi kept going under, the words she held tight to her chest as she tried to raise her daughter. As she struggled with her mother. Someone thought she could succeed. Someone thought she could do it. 

 Izumi found herself often attending inventor shows, Tomoe along for the ride. The toddler seemed amazing by it all, and through the shows Izumi found people to talk to. People who just wanted to talk about their inventions, who didn’t care what someone’s Quirk was. They treated Tomoe amazingly, and Izumi could burst. 

 “You want to be an inventor kid?” a man showing off old decommissioned support gear asked one day as Izumi checked his things out.

 “Ah no. I want to be a hero.” Izumi admitted. “I’m Quirkless, so I know I’ll rely on gear more then anything else.”

 “Wait, you want to be a Quirkless hero?!” a voice asked behind Izumi. “LET ME BE YOUR INVENTOR!” Izumi whirled around to see a girl with pink hair, bouncing on her toes. Tomoe made a noise.

 “I’d rather be your soulmate.” Izumi blurted out and then slapped a hand over her mouth. The pink girl froze before she cackled, loudly.

 “Why not both?!” she asked eagerly. “Hatsume Mei! Future CEO of Hatsume Industries!”

 “Midoriya Izumi and my daughter, Tomoe. Future hero hopefully.” Izumi said. Hatsume didn’t hesitate at hearing the word daughter, instead launching into a passioned rant about plotting the best gear for Izumi.
