Midoriya, Todoroki and Iida were walking down the street after just leaving the shopping district. They had all wanted to go into the city to do some things; namely to get some new clothes, stationary for school and Shoto wanted to get a haircut. They made there way into the park to take a shortcut - the day was normal to say the very least. Nothing crazy about the weekend at all.
The evening was quickly coming to an end and at that, the three young heroes were making their way back to the dorms. All was going smoothly until a young girl, who had only recently gained her quirk, accidentally set off a burst of pink and red energy hurdling towards the group. Seeing this, Iida instinctively moved in front of his two friends to shield them from the oncoming threat.
“Midoriya-san! Todoroki-san! Watch ou-!” shouted Tenya, while pushing the other two behind him. The burst hit the tall blue-nette square in the chest knocking him down to the ground. Suddenly, a rosy tinted hue took over Iida’s vision and his body started to relax.
“Iida-san are you ok!?” exclaimed Midoriya. The shorter boy immediately sent into a frenzy. How did he not see the blast coming? More importantly, what did the mysterious red and pink mist do to his friend?
Todoroki stepped forward, offering Iida a silent hand to help himself to his feet, but concerningly the boy did not notice or seem to care. Upon further inspection – Iida had adopted a glazed-over look to his eyes, pupils blown, a dumb and what could only be described as “love-sick” smile spread across his face and most comically a slew of content sighs escaping his mouth.
“E-excuse me Mister! I d-didn’t mean t-to use my quirk! It was an a-accident I swear!” a young child ran over to where the commotion had taken place. Poor thing, she clearly had no idea how to control it yet…
“Hey it’s alright! Mistakes happen all the time, do you mind telling us what your quirk does? If you do it could help us figure out what’s going on with our friend!” Izuku could see how on edge the kid was but from what he could see of the girl’s features, the quirk was in some way romance related. This was going to be good.
The little girl, with her pink hair and red eyes, glanced nervously at the green-haired boy. A blush apparent on her cheeks and most adorably forming in the shape of a heart on either side of her face. She timidly explained that her quirk was called ‘Cupid’ and that the energy was able to take over the person and make their mind be clouded with the one they desired to be with romantically. It came to light that the quirk made them extremely forward with their feelings.
Oh shit. This isn’t good.
Midoriya glanced nervously to Todoroki, who like he did, held an expression of bewilderment. Midoriya ceased writing down the child’s quirk information into his notebook and gave a reassuring smile down to the child. “That’s going to be a great help to us, thanks for telling me about your quirk! D-do you maybe know how long it lasts?” Izuku prodded.
The girl shook her head, “Nuh uh… I don’t know how long it lasts yet, sorry Mister…” with a defeated sigh, she gave her apologies once more to the two boys and went on her way back to find her parents.
Silence followed. Izuku and Todoroki had no idea where to even start. Who did Iida even like? The boy hardly ever showed any sign of liking anyone in the romantic sense. Maybe he was just good at hiding it? Was it a celebrity maybe? They do tend to be the romantic interest of many young people nowadays. Or maybe it was-
“Y/n-san” Tenya sighed dreamily as he held a far off look in his eyes. Both friend’s attention was shifted quicker than the boys quirk to the now dazed Iida. They stared in pure shock yet again, both left utterly speechless. Slowly but surely, they turned to each other.
Oh fuck. This really isn’t good.
“What did you just say?” Todoroki pressed. Holding a hand up to Midoriya to calm him from preventing the question.
“I’m talking about the love of my life, the sun to my moon, the stars to my night sky! My Y/n-san! I want to give her the world and more! I want to wake up every day and give her a big kiss! I want to play with her hair and shower her in my love and gifts for the rest of my life!” he proudly stated.
If only the boy were able to fathom what he was saying. Surely the outcome would be nothing short of a flurry of hand chops, stuttered words and a scarlet blush painting his face, ears and neck.
“Now Iida, let’s not get too carried away with ourselves-” Izuku stated nervously. The taller of the three clearly did not take very well to Midoriya’s downplaying of his feelings towards the girl, a pout being placed on his lips.
“But Midoriya! I need her to know how much I love her, if I don’t tell her she’ll never be mine!” Iida seriously professed. He stood up, taking a serious stance with his hands on his hips. “Friends! Do you think my Star would prefer chocolates or flowers?” questioned Tenya with a raised eyebrow.
A look of sheer determination was set on the boy’s face, while it was endearing to see just how much he did truly like Y/n, Shoto and Izuku really didn’t want Iida to embarrass himself because of this.
They needed to think fast. Maybe there was a way to have the quirk reversed? The solution came to Todoroki first. He beckoned the green haired boy over, whispering into his ear the plan of action.
“Midoriya-san I think it’s our safest bet to get Iida to Recovery Girl. She might be able to undo the effects of the quirk.” Silently Izuku weighed out the options. Really, they could only do so much. There wasn’t any other way about it. He turned to his friend and nodded.
“I think that’s probably best Todoroki-san, but we need to keep him away from Y/n. I don’t want Iida to embarrass himself.” explained Izuku, to which Shoto gave his friend an understanding look.
It was settled. Their goal was to somehow get Iida to Recovery Girl without him getting into contact with Y/n.
The two looked back to Iida’s position. They expected him to still be laying on the grass with a ditzy look covering his features. Instead, he was gone.
Now they were panicking. Where the hell did he run off to? How did they lose him already? More so, when did Iida become so stealthy?
Todoroki and Midoriya looked around the surrounding area for their friend. In the distance, Shoto could see the park paths, the ponds and the playground. He doubted that Iida would have taken any interest in those places.
“Come on where could he be?” exclaimed Izuku.
“We know for sure he couldn’t have gone far. If he had used his quirk, we would have definitely heard it by now and we were only talking for a second before he went off.” pondered Todoroki.
Ok. That made sense. They just needed to stay calm and think. It’s just like in training exercises, if they kept a clear head, they would be alright.
Izuku looked around the park and his eyes settled onto the pretty flower beds in the distance. Wait. Flower beds? Then it clicked.
“Friends! Do you think my Star would prefer chocolates or flowers?”
“Todoroki! That’s it! The flower beds, he went to the flower beds to get them for Y/n-san!” panic and glee apparent on his voice. He was happy to have figured it out but also mortified at the thought of his friend making a fool of himself.
“On it. Let’s go.” Said Shoto.
They took off in the direction of the flower beds and sure enough, they found Iida picking at various flowers, a small bouquet of them already in his large, clasped hand.
“Ah you’re hear, great! Do you think that Y/n would like th-?” he started to ask, only to get cut off by Midoriya tackling him to the ground.
“Midoriya keep him down for me!” shouted Shoto. The smaller boy sprung into action holding down Iida’s arms which proved to be a hard task with all the thrashing he was starting to do.
“No! Let me go Izuku! Unhand me this instant! Look what you’ve made me do, I dropped my Star’s flowers!” Tenya exclaimed. By now his usually neat appearance had been forgotten about. His hair was wild and unkempt, dirt from the ground on his once clean trousers, shirt coming untucked and glasses thrown off his face from his struggling against Izuku’s strong hold.
“I’m sorry Iida this is for your own good!” apologised Izuku,
Suddenly, Iida’s legs had been captured by makeshift ice cuffs. Todoroki stood off to the side looking a small bit proud of his work and quick thinking. His friend could no longer move, yet his struggling had yet to stop. At least they knew where he was, and he couldn’t randomly run off again.
“Let me go you cretins!” shouted Tenya. “I need to go give Y/n these flowers, so she knows how much I love her!” the boy continued to thrash and struggle against the restraints only to be ignored.
“Izuku?” Shoto questioned.
“Yes Todoroki?” Midoriya said, breathing heavily from previously wrestling Iida.
“I think we better call Mr Aizawa…” the boy spoke.
Releasing a breath Midoriya responded, “Yeah, I think that would be best…”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“So… explain to me again how the hell this happened?” the sleep deprived teacher asked, hand rubbing at his temple. Why the fuck did Tenya have to be held down to the floor of a public park by Todoroki’s ice again?
Amidst the ramblings of Izuku he had pieced it together - a love quirk? Midoriya had to be joking.
Why the hell was his evening being spent taking Iida back to the dorm using his capture item? This was giving Aizawa a fucking headache. All he asked was for a calm weekend with no phone calls, no students, no nothing! Did he get that? No! Instead, he got one of his students being hit by a love quirk, because that’s normal. Isn’t it?
“Well, I don’t think Recovery Girl can reverse the effects of quirks, so Tenya will just have to wait for the quirk to wear off. For now, you should all go back to the dorms.” Said the Teacher.
“What an excellent idea Sensei! That means I can go see Y/n-san and tell her how much I love her!” cheered the love-stricken young hero.
“Fuck I really need to stop smoking weed with Yamada” thought Aizawa as he pinched himself.
Nope, never mind not a dream.
“Todoroki, Izuku, please make sure Tenya doesn’t do anything… inappropriate… I’d really hate for this quirk to get out of hand while he’s under its influence.” He said as he released Iida from his scarf.
“Iida please behave-” he started to say, only to be ignored as Tenya took off with his quirk towards the Heights Alliance building leaving Midoriya, Todoroki and Aizawa in his wake. They all stood there in awe of Iida, sharing a knowing look together that made them realise they all were thinking the exact same thing.
Poor Y/n has no idea what’s coming.
part 2 is coming soon! I've sorta hit a wall with this fic and don't know how to start of the rest of it but rest assured, the next part will hopefully be out soon where y/n actually makes an appearance and you get to see how Iida reacts once the quirk wears off!
please tell me how i did too! this is my first fic I've ever written on tumblr so don't be shy! :)
