BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

The buzzing of his alarm clock, thought quite annoying and dream invading, surely was effectively in awakening him from his slumber. Not he had any problems to wake up early. In fact, it was more of an habit to him, but given the huge amount of 'fun' he had last night, Midoriya was glad to be awaken by the alarm so he wouldn't miss class. He would not hear the end of it from Iida.

"Oh, yeah... last night..."

Midoriya brought a hand to his face, rubbing away some of the sleep from his eyes as he yawned lazily. A small smile formed on his lips as his mind slowly started to remember the events from last night. 3... 2... 1...

"YOOOOOOO!"

He shot up, sitting on his bed and with both hands on the sides of his head. Realization dawned on him as his mind finally got on the rails. At once all the concerns he had previously flooded his head, mainly the part where he had unsafe sex with all six of his girlfriends. The idea of any of them becoming, well, pregnant, threw him over the edge. And of course he had to think about the worst scenario.

"What if... all of them..."

He had his hands put together in front of his nose as his imagination worked furiously, creating a mental image of his harem greeting him at their hypothetical house, all of them holding a small bundle of happiness, some of them with two at the same time.

He could already see it. A little girl with messy green hair and horns. Another one with short green hair and small earphone jacks on the ears. A pair of twin boys with their frog like tongues sticking out and freckles covering their cheeks. Another girl with cat like eyes and her dark green hair fixed into a tiny ponytail. A floating set of blue baby clothes. And yet another little girl with green hair that framed her round face, dotted cheeks and tiny pink pads on her hands.

All the ladies present welcomed him with warm smiles as he entered.

"I'm home"

"Oh, darling, welcome home" Ochako was the first to meet him.

"Welcome home, dear" They all said and together.

"Did everything went good at work, ribbit?" Tsuyu beamed.

"Dinner is almost ready" That was Momo.

"Would you like to eat now?" Jiro said.

"Or take a bath?" Tooru came in.

"Or perhaps..." Mina started, and they all said in unison.

"You. Want. Me?~" (A/N: Is it just me or this is much better in japanese?)

Midoriya shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, calm down Izuku. It's not possible that it could happen..." he scratched the back of his head.

"Or is it?!" He held his head again.

Anyway, it was pretty early in the morning, class would still take some time to start, so as usual he decided to follow his morning routine, hoping that it would at least calm him down a bit.

Class went on and he could not feel more anxious, mostly because every time he looked around, at least on of the girls was looking at him. Oh my, what if they already checked? Could they know just by feeling it? Did it really happen that fast? On the first time? If so, how many of them? Seriously, could they all get pregnant at the same time?! The class went like this for Midoriya, unable to focus completely on whatever was the lesson Aizawa sensei was giving. And of course sensei would notice it, which ended with poor Midoriya being called to answer question four times, and at the four times he managed to mess up somewhere. At this point the whole class was wondering if he had some problem going on, mainly the girls. Before going out to lunch, Iida, Kirishima, Aoyama and even Todoroki stopped by him to see if he was okay. Bakugou being Bakugou just shouted something about Midoriya not standing a chance of surpassing him with this low level, which was his way of manifesting his concern for the green haired teen.

During lunchtime, just to test his hearth further, his whole harem decided to show their concern at the same time. So right now he was sitting on a table, completely surrounded by girls and waving his hands nervously as he tried to convince them that he was as okay. Of course it didn't work at first, but soon enough they dropped the matter. The only problem now was the high level of attention Midoriya was drawing, mostly of other guys. A certain duo, blonde and midget, were digging their food while staring intensely at the green haired teen, completely filled with a strong envy. But the last straw was when not only Uraraka, but Yaoyorozu and Mina started to share Midoriya's food and, the best part, fed him like these lovey dovey couples they saw around. Getting up in a dramatic way, Kaminari wnd Mineta marched to the table of beauties and the blende teen slammed his hands on the table with so much strength one could mistake him with Bakugou.

"Oi, Midoriya! What the heck is this supposed to be?! HUH?!"

"Ka-Kaminari-kun?! W-what are you t-talking about?" Midoriya knew what he meant. Suddenly having so much feminine attention surely would make him stand out, but he decided to keep playing dumb, as it could easily get out of control.

"Don't give us shit, Midoriya! Why...? Why?... Why are you suddenly so popular with the ladies?!" Mineta had to stand on the bench to hit the table with his fists.

"And with so many! Damn it, I'm jealous as hell!"

"That's right! Are you forming a harem, Midoriya?!"

"W-w-what are you two screaming around?! T-t-that's nothing l-like that!"

"Cut the stutter! Man, if it was Todoroki I would understand... but you of everyone?" Mineta was practically crying blood tears while Kaminari followed suit and agreed with him.

By now, all the other tables had their attention focused on the source of noise, and they also noticed that it was at least unusual for the green haired teen to have so much feminine company. Speaking of which, Midoriya was a mess of embarrassment. He could pick up on some of the whispers near him. Everyone got a suspicious look at him, he didn't even need to check. What would he do now? He wished the ground would open up below his feet and take him anywhere else. Luckily, he wasn't alone on this. Quietly standing up, but with a stern look on her face, Yaoyorozu cut out the tantrum of the perverted duo.

"You guys... stop it right now!" As she said that, not only Kaminari and Mineta recoiled a bit, but all the whispering ceased. Blonde and shorty grape-head swallowed nothing as they felt the intense gaze of the vice class rep on them.

"Can't you see that Midoriya isn't in a good day? Please show some concern, or at least don't make things worse"

"Momo-chan is right. Plus, what makes you two think there's anything special on being at his side? Can't we show a friend that we care for him?" Mina also stood up, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her brows were slightly furrowed and she also held an annoyed gaze against the two boys.

"Ah, no, we didn't mean to... I just thought-" Kaminari, now devoid of any anger, started to speak, but was quickly cut out by Uraraka.

"Next time you think something like that about someone, think again and go mind your own business"

Everyone in the cafeteria felt a small chill run down their spines. There was this unspoken, yet undeniable shield the group of girls raised around Midoriya. Even if they didn't know them so well, none of the other students dared to defy the group of girls from class 1-A, at least concerning the well being of the grenette. As for the others from 1-A, most of them were between shock and amusement. It was clear that Kaminari and Mineta had it coming, given their history of 'bold moves'. But also, no one expected the girls to be so active in defending Midoriya. They didn't say a thing, but in their heads they wondered what could be going on between the group and the greenette.

The usual ruckus from lunchtime slowly returned, with everyone acting like nothing happened, except for blonde charger and grape-head, who recoiled on their seats, quiet and shaking a bit. Besides them, Todoroki and Bakugou stared at the group from the corner of their eyes, similar thoughts crossing their minds. Something was up, but while Todoroki had some kind of concern, Bakugou didn't give a shit about whatever mess shitty Deku was in. That's what he told himself.

Hero Training came in, and today's task would be a trust exercise. As Aizawa-sensei explained, during the rescue of victims, a hero had the duty to stand up with a trustful image, in order to assure those in need of aid that they would keep them safe. They had a great example, if not the greatest of them all, right beside them, All Might. He alone built the image of Symbol of Peace, and was able to give hope and tranquility, not only to the people he saved, but for those who watched him by far. And they also had to give people this sensation of security. Needless to say, those words hit ten times heavier on Midoriya, as the inheritor of All Might's Quirk and will.

The training also had the intent of putting them under physical strain, since they had to pull of the image of confidence in any circumstances, so the number of victims would be much larger than the number of heroes, and they would use Ground Gamma to amplify the area they would need to cover.

The first team to play as heroes was Tokoyami and Midoriya. Once the horn soared, they started to run, deciding to split once they reached the center of the arena. Since Tokoyami suggested to search through the interior of the industrial buildings, Midoriya decided to try a more broad approach, using Full Cowl to gain height and scan the areas from above. After some search the first victim he found was Yaoyorozu. She was calling for help from under a steel beam, and her face lit up in a bright smile once she saw the greenette landing near her.

"Don't worry, I'm going to take you out of there. Did you get hurt? Any kind of cut or concussion?"

"No, just some scratches, I think"

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Yes, Yaoyorozu Momo"

"Right, Yaoyorozu-san. How did you get stuck in here?"

"The structure shook and this beam fell from its place"

"Just give me a minute... the structure seems stable enough. I'll lift the beam slightly so you can get out, okay?"

"Okay"

Midoriya activated his Quirk and slowly lifted the heavy steel beam, allowing Yaoyorozu to crawl from under it. Once she got out, he let go of it with caution and proceed to check on the victim's condition again, before holding her on his arms.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to safety" The whole time he held a warm and shiny smile, combined with emerald green eyes burning with determination, and Yaoyorozu loved every second of it. As he carried her to the entrance of the arena, she hugged him tightly.

"My hero~"

"Y-Ya-Yaoyorozu-san, stay on the character" he said nervously.

She let out a light laugh, but didn't let go of him until they reached the rendezvous point.

And so, one by one, the victims were being rescued. Funny thing was that whenever Tokoyami came around one of the girls, they changed place or hid themselves, just to wait for Midoriya to come around. Uraraka got stuck on a car accident, but she only cried for help when she saw a blur of green. Tsuyu got trapped inside a lock, but once she heard the voice of the greenette she started to shout and hit the steel door. Mina apparently had been kept as a hostage, since he found her tied to a chair. When Tokoyami came around this building she hid the ropes and jumped behind a crate. Midoriya only found Hagakure because she actually grabbed him from behind. She had been hiding in plain sight, naked, of course. At some point a fire started and when he reached the place, he found Jiro waving her hands on top of the burning building.

Besides the girls, Midoriya also rescued Shoji, Kirishima and Bakugou, thought the last one was difficult to say the least.

The training took about half an hour for them to complete, and by the end Midoriya and Tokoyami where panting and covered in sweat. The degree of their success depended of the evaluation each of their classmates made from their rescues. Overall they did pretty well. Even though Dark Shadow was quite menacing, he and Tokoyami were able to tranquilize the victims, thought Iida made a comment that he should work on his dark nature to look, well, less dark. As for Midoriya, he received some shouts from Bakugou, a strong slap in the back from Kirishima, and way too much praise from the girls. This made Aizawa look at him with suspicious eyes, but he let that one pass, at least for now.

And so the training kept going. As Midoriya suspected, whenever one of the girls was playing the hole of hero, they would run around, almost ignoring the others just to find him first. When he faked a car accident together with Sero, he had to insist that Ashido should take care of the tape boy first since he had worse injuries. When he 'got stuck' under some debris, he said about twenty times that he could walk just fine, but Uraraka had to use her Quirk and carry him. You know, 'just to be safe'. But boy, things almost got out of hand when Kyoka and Asui found him at the same time. On his comments, he was truthful when he said he felt very secure and relaxed, thought the hyperactive personality of Hagakure could make some people a little bit uncomfortable. And of course, Kacchan HAD to find him, right? He thought for a moment that Bakugou would lock him back into the vault he was, but he was surprisingly attentive to his condition. When Midoriya said he had a sprained ankle thought, Bakugou gritted his teeth, and held back apparently a succession of swearings that crossed his mind. No one was able to hold back laughter they saw the scene in front of them: Bakugou, taking large steps and grinding his teeth as he looked up, and Midoriya being carried on his right shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Good thing he was not facing his classmates, or else it would be even more embarrassing.

At last class ended, and Midoriya let out a tired sigh as he walked by the corridors on his way to the teacher's room. The whole deal with his girlfriends plus all the unwanted attention he got today led him to a mental exhaustion. Whenever he felt lost on what to do, he came to one of the persons he trusted most, and actually the only one he could really open up to. As he knocked on the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside, and it opened to reveal All Might, sporting his usual yellow suit. He greeted the boy with a smile.

"Hello, young Midoriya. Come in"

Midoriya followed his mentor and sat across him at the couch. As usual, Toshinori had some green tea, and after both of them take a sip of the warm drink, he started.

"So, you have something you want to ask me, right? Does it have something to do with your training?"

"Umm, no. Actually, is more like a personal matter. I... I kinda lost about what should I do" Midoriya scratched the back of his neck, unsure of how to put it in words and tell his mentor what was worrying about.

"Well then, what would it be?" Toshinori asked as he drank more from his tea.

"It's... umm... I was... I was thinking... w-what would happen if..." he couldn't say it, so he tried a different approach. "I remember that thing you said about One for All, that it could not be taken by force, but... could it be, like, passed down during... if I got really intimate... with a girl?"

The skeleton like man stopped on his tracks for a second, then asked before resuming on his drink. "... Intimate?"

"Yeah... as in... sex...?"

"Pfffft!"

That caught All Might completely off guard. Not only he choked on his tea, some blood came out from the sheer surprise.

"All Might?!"

"~cough, cough~ Give me a second ~gasp~" The Symbol of Peace held a hand up as some more blood came out. Once his coughing fit subdued, he looked again at Midoriya, who was now sitting straight at the couch and shaking in place, a nervous smile plastered on his face. Toshinori himself didn't have a clue about what to say now. Surely the teen came to him seeking for many advices, and as his mentor he couldn't feel happier that he would trust him like that, but it never came to his mind that Midoriya would bring up that topic. Sure, it had something to do with One for All, but he sensed that it was more of a disguise for his real intentions. By know he could tell when the greenette was just too shy to say what he had on his mind. Oh well, as a teacher and mentor, it was his duty to guide him on those things too, thought he wished Midoriya Inko could take his place on this.

"I-I see. Umm, yes, it makes sense. I guess... you are on that age, huh..."

"Ahaha... ha..." Midoriya was a pile of nerves.

"Well, as I said earlier, One for All is like a torch. It can be passed down to other people they will gain access to the power cultivated by the former bearers. In order to inherit it, one has to absorb the DNA that contains the Quirk, like the strand of hair I gave you"

"Yeah, that..."

"You do remember that the actual bearer must pass the power by his own will. That said, I actually asked that to my master when I was younger"

"Y-you did?!" Midoriya was surprised that All Might, THE All Might, would ask his teacher about it. Then again, by that time he wasn't All Might yet. He was a hero in training, just like him. As for Toshinori, he was quick to explain himself.

"Not in that specific way, umm, I inquired if there were other ways to inherit the power, without being by consuming hair"

"So... she also gave you one?"

"That's right" he said with a small smile as he scratched his head. When he did it with Midoriya, it was more for the effectiveness of the process, but it was also nostalgic for him. His face became more serious again. "Anyway, yes, you could pass down One for All in such a way, but it would be the child born from this that would inherit the power. That alone could lead to the death of the infant"

Midoriya swallowed nothing. At least he didn't have to worry about accidentally passing the Quirk. Anyway, this was far from tranquilizing him, but All Might kept talking.

"I also must say, there's a peculiar trait of One for All regarding that topic. When I asked my master about it, she also told me about some side effects. In fact, the immense amount of raw energy stockpiled is very effective to destroy reproduction cells. If you were to... experience such things, there would probably be some manifestation of the power, and that would practically nullify the chances of... getting your partner pregnant"

Emerald green eyes were wide as he realized what his mentor just said.

"So... there's no way that I could..."

"Well, with some practice you could learn to lock the activation. At this moment you would be just like the average male population"

Midoriya just stood still, looking at the steaming tea on his hand while he absorbed this whole new information. So that's why he felt the surge of One for All whenever he, you know what. So following that lead, One for All could also explain the massive loads he seemed to have stocked. In a way it put his mind at ease, but at the same time he felt it was a convenient excuse to forget about the possible consequences of his acts. Even if there was no chance of the scene from the his morning as he currently was, without knowing how to lock the energy surges, Midoriya thought that it would be just too irresponsible of his part not to worry about. His attention was drawn by All Might as he faked a cough.

"Young Midoriya. Perhaps the reason you brought that topic up was... that you were planning to engage in such an activity?"

Midoriya immediately went on defense mode, flailing his arms in front of him frantically and with a bright hue of red adorning his cheeks.

"N-n-no! T-that wasn't the reason! It n-never crossed m-m-my mind!". "Geez, I'm a terrible liar..."

"Seriously he's a terrible liar!"

The greenette shifted uneasy on his seat. He was way past 'planning' at this point, but could not find within himself the strength to tell All Might. He was afraid of what his mentor would say, how he would look at him. Midoriya was supposed to be the next symbol of peace, so he wondered how would the world react if it came to public knowledge about his... very special relationship with his girl classmates.

"Ahem. I must stress that you should focus on your training as a hero and on your studies. That said, there's really no problem in having interest on these topics"

"R-really?"

"Surely. We heroes are idolized by the people we save every day, and because of that, most of the time they tend to forget that we are also humans, that we have our personal lives and desires, that we have flaws and moments of weakness too, and that we seek for happiness and comfort. They don't make this on purpose, but it happens"

"So... I can, like, date someone? There's really nothing wrong with it?"

"As long as you keep your objectives clear, yes. Remember that, by no means we should put our desires ahead of the wellbeing of those we vowed to protect"

"I see..."

The pile of nerves that was Midoriya now faded into a much more calm version of him. His mentor was right. He could still work hard on his mission to be the number one hero and keep his relationship with the girls just fine. Sure, having so many of them around him made it kinda difficult to spread his love and care to everyone, but he figured out he'd need to work harder on that too. Midoriya now felt determined, as he got up with his bright smile back on his face. As long as everyone was happy, he could keep going forward. He was sure that all of his girlfriends would help him along his path, and he would do the same whenever they needed him. Midoriya thanked his mentor for his time and moved to the door, but something popped into his mind, a question that intrigued him, even more now that he heard about some of All Might's past. Stopping at the half open door, he turned around.

"Erm, All Might, did... did you ever... have you, like, done this before...? I know you spent a lot of time on America, and even here in Japan... Since you are so p-popular, I was wondering..." No matter how he tried to formulate it, he was embarrassed for asking that, but as the huge fan he was, probably the number one in the world, he just had to ask.

The scrawny blonde man, who was already picking up the tea cups, looked at his protegee, then he straightened his back, his face looking slightly down so his bright blue eyes were hidden.

"That, my young man... IS A SECRET! AH HA HA HA!"

Midoriya was somewhere between shocked and hyped from the possible meaning of this, being a huge fan and all, and a unsure smile formed on his lips as he watched his idol on his muscular form, striking a pose with his arms flexed and laughing his trademark laugh.

As his student slowly gout out of the teacher's room, Toshinori returned to Small Might form and resume to clean the small table that held the tea cups. He heard the voice of the greenette from outside and not a minute later, Kayama Nemuri, also known as Midnight and the Modern Hero Art History teacher of U.A entered the room. Her eyes came from the way Midoriya headed to meet the Symbol of Peace.

"Ah, I see. You are really getting the hang of this teacher thing, right, Yagi-san?" She said with a warm smile as her head tilted a bit. Seeing the clumsy skeleton like man running around trying to help each and every student was a captivating sight. It made her want to work even harder on her task of putting something on the heads of the teens she was responsible for teaching. Even being out of combat for good, All Might still managed to inspire those around him, at least that was what she though.

"It is my duty as a teacher and as his mentor" He told her with his face full of determination. As he promised to Midoriya Inko, young Midoriya and to himself, he would use every fiber of his body to guide the boy through the arduous path he was following. Plus, he now more than ever felt the need to also be a reference to the many other students. This would be his final legacy, the next generation of heroes.

"Yes, yes. It's really good to see you so committed. But, don't you think you are pushing the boy a little too much? I mean, he already has a huge burden to carry, being your successor and all" She said as she sat, crossing her legs and leaning on the arm of the couch. Though the question earned a serious face from the blonde man, it soon turned into another grin full of pride. His eyes gleamed as he spoke.

"I understand your point, no kid should take such a burden, but Midoriya is one of a kind, and I can assure you that he'll succeed at this, in a way that none of us will ever be able to imagine"

"You sure do like this kid, don't you?"

"I believe he has the power to bring the best of himself and of the others around him. I include myself on this, and this is a wonderful trait of a true hero"

"Yeah, the more I look at him, more surprised I get..."

Since Yagi took the cups and left the main room, he didn't notice the look on her eyes, neither the way she lightly bit her bottom lip as she said that last part.

Here's one of the reasons why Midoriya never was very fond of drawing attention to himself. Word spread like wildfire. It didn't took two days to the entire U.A hear at least one thing about him and the personal squad of girls he apparently had around him. Sure, after the last incident Midoriya said that they should be more careful, like avoiding doing couple things when they were near the others, and mostly not gathering everyone around him at once.

Otherwise, things had been fine lately. The girls seemed to be much satisfied with their last time since they didn't ask yet to go again. He wasn't complaining, but there was this relief he felt with some normal days possibly coming. Wait just a minute.

Once he approached the main building of the school, Midoriya suddenly felt eyes following his direction as he walked by. From the corners of his eyes the only thing he could notice were subtle movements from students around him, trying to conceal their presences. There were some less discreet looks, usually coming from girls, that he supposed to be veterans. For some reason, whenever his hearing caught up any of the whispers, it would be either a worried tone or restrained giggles, as if the subject of their talks, whatever it was, was something forbidden.

Midoriya decided to tone down his surroundings. He didn't want to overthink as he usually did. Soon enough this gossiping about him would fade away, giving place to anything that was more recent or flashy.

As he entered in classroom, the green haired teen greeted his friends. Class 1-A was loud as usual, until Aizawa made his way in and the lessons started. Things were finally back to normal, he thought with himself. But unknown to Midoriya, some people still had their interest focused on that unique interaction between him and the female students of the class, namely Todoroki Shoto and, surprisingly, Bakugou Katsuki.

On these last two days Todoroki had been more attentive to the interactions between his classmates, trying to make any sense out of it. For starts, Midoriya always struck him as a puzzle. He just could not truly accept the poor explanation for the lack of control of his powerful Quirk. Being an extremely late bloomer seemed too convenient and unlikely. The boy also amused him, always going out of his way to help others. It was like he was trying to prove something all the time, for himself at least. And let's not forget about the highly suspicious connection he had with the former number one hero. There was so much more than just a fan thing, he was sure of it, but Todoroki wasn't going to confront him since he knew it would prove a waste of energy.

And just to add things up, now the boy seemed to be a beacon for the attention of his female classmates, for whatever reason.

Not that Todoroki cared about who liked who or felt jealous. No, these silly things were bellow him. What gave him this slightly annoying itch was the fact that Midoriya was the very definition of socially awkward. The half hot half cold teen wasn't a specialist in matters of interactions between people at his age, but he doubted Midoriya would fit the role of 'high quality boyfriend material', as he heard Ashido say one or another time. Sure, he was a hardworking and reliable person, and his will power seemed to know no bounds, but as far as he could see it didn't count much as positive points a girl would look for. Was he missing something?

As for our favorite king of explodo-kills, the blonde boy could not be more andry for apparently no reason. Just looking at the scene that happened during lunchtime made him want to go there blast Deku back to his place. Each time the shitty nerd seemed to forget more and more that he was just an useless piece of shit, and what was even more infuriating, everyone around him ignored the fact, acting like he could make it somehow. For Bakugou, it meant that everyone around were as hopeless as the greenette. It was beyond his mind just what they had seen on him.

For these two days, he had been thinking about it. He knew better than to fall for that poor excuse pineapple head and pink face gave back then. Showing someone that you care about them? Please. As if Deku was worthy of it. Anyways, it was way too care to show someone, even if it wasn't Deku, which only made him angrier. Hell, back at school he was the best guy around, as in THE best. Everyone always had praised him for being awesome at everything he did, and yet he never had a bunch of girls clinging at him. Stupid girls.

Were they blind or did they lack any brains? What good could come from protecting Deku? He didn't have anything special about him. Even his Quirk looked stupid as he could not use it to its full extent without breaking his entire body, which made him even more useless than when he didn't have a Quirk at all. It pissed him. Bakugou was really pissed.

He had to fight back the urges to just blow up Deku's desk since Aizawa threatened to expel him if he did it again. Shitty teacher, it was only four desks. Anyway, he had to do something. The contained anger and energy were begging to be released in the form of large explosions, and the hero training had been only about rescues lately. He wanted to punch Midoriya right on his face, he wipe out that stupid grin he showed off all the time. Did he really think he was allowed to feel happy having some girls around him? He saw through the nervous face of the teen. Bakugou knew him to some extent, after all they used to be friends. It was settled. At the first opportunity Bakugou would beat the hell out of Deku, make him remember his place and crush that stupid smile to dust, all that in front of his 'special' babysitters so they would acknowledge just how whortless the boy was and maybe finally notice his unmatched superiority.

All the time. It was Midoriya all the time at the 1-A dorms. The boys started to notice since the event at the cafeteria. Not that they were annoyed or something, it was just... odd. Okay, some of the boys were pretty annoyed, namely Mineta, but still they couldn't help but take in the signs. As much as they wanted to deny it, Midoriya somehow managed to get the attention of his girl classmates.

Starting in the early mornings, more than one time Kirishima or Aoyama caught the greenette and Yaoyorozu sitting together at the kitchen table, chatting and enjoying some tea. It would be very normal, if it wasn't for the closeness they had. She was practically sitting on his lap, but whenever they made their presences noticeable, they would move away, barely able to act natural.

During the afternoons, while he went to gym, Ashido followed him like a puppy. She would do stretches and aerobics, but most of her time at the gym was at his side or at least near him, cheering while he worked on his routines. One time, somehow he and Sato got into a competition to see who could make more push-ups, and when they noticed, all the girls were gathered around Midoriya. Thought Sato was fairly stronger, the smaller teen had a lot of resistance, which favoured his victory, and once the winner was declared the girls took him from the ground and carried him around as if he had won a world tournament or something. Seriously, it was just 200 push-ups, only forty more than Sato.

When he wasn't training, Midoriya was somewhere in the dorms doing something with one of them. Kaminari was pretty much surprised when he discovered that he spent a lot of time listening to Kyoka as she played her bass. She always made it clear that she didn't like to show her skills, which only added to to the blonde's shock. He would not admit it but Kaminari felt a bit jealous deep inside. Ojiro slowly felt the absence of his usual sparring partner, Hagakure, as she helped the green haired teen keen his senses via blind fighting.

Overall, his name was the most called in the dorms. They kept calling him, looking for him, asking things about Quirks and lessons, or simply dragging him around. Tokoyami stopped on his way to his room when he crossed the common room and spotted the teen watching a soap opera with Ashido and Tsuyu. The bird headed teen would not judge, but he wasn't denying it was pretty much unusual.

The breaking point came in the form of a purple grape-head midget. When Mineta saw, not one, not two or three, but four girls dragging Midoriya to Kyoka's room for a 'study session' (the red hue on their cheeks told him otherwise), he reached the limit. Luckily, or maybe not, they were in the common room and almost everyone was there.

"That's it! Just what is the meaning of this?!" He said as he pointed to the group almost leaving the room. Everyone turned around to look at the short boy, and then followed his direction. All eyes landed on Yaoyorozu, Tsuyu, Kyoka, Uraraka, and Midoriya, of course. Concerns surfaced in the minds of the boys as they looked at them. No one said it out loud, but they all shared with he same thoughts. Midoriya was up to something, and it involved all of the girls. All of them.

"Excuse me, but what are you trying to say, Mineta?" Once again Yaoyorozu took the lead, effectively making Mineta hesitate, but the boy steeled his will and kept going on. He had to do something about this unfair situation.

"D-don't act dumb! Midoriya this... Midoriya that... Did you see Midoriya around?~ Can you call him here?~ Go away Mineta, I'm busy with Midoriya! Why are you girls so glued on him?!"

"W-we are not glued on him! Where did you get that from?" Kyoka said, making her best to act tough.

"Yes you are! During the last week... each one of you spent at least two more hours with him than you normally do!"

"I don't know if I should be impressed or creeped out with this information..." Uraraka started. "But anyway, we can spend time with whoever we want, right?" She was clearly annoyed.

Ignoring the fact that Mineta was openly stating he had stalked his classmates, Sero, from the other side of the common room, decided to voice his opinion.

"Well, he's not completely wrong. You all had been pretty close to him. No big deal, just saying"

"I-It is fun to be around Deku-kun! Not that I don't like hanging with you guys, it's just that-" she didn't manage to finish her sentence.

"Then why don't you all marry him already?!"

"M-m-m-marry?!" Midoriya's eyes went wide like dishes as the midget pointed at him.

"You are not fair, Midoriya. Why you, from all people? I bet that you get to do all kinds of presentations things with so many girls around you. Damn it!" While grape-head cried jealous blood tears, Iida stood from the seat he was, waving his arms around like a robot.

"Mineta-kun! As students and heroes in training we should not pry into the private lives of our classmates! Have some decency! Thought I must say, we also should keep focused on our studies, and... this kind of relationship could seriously compromise our performance"

The last part he said facing the group of girls and Midoriya. In fact, Iida also felt things were different lately. Since the beginning of the year he, Uraraka and Midoriya had been practically inseparable, but in the past few days he felt more like the third wheel. He was secretly supportive of a relationship between his two friends, but he hoped that they would still keep him near. Not only that, Iida and Midoriya used to spend a lot of time together, but as Mineta and Sero pointed out, most of the time he was with at least one of the girls, and poor Iida couldn't help but wonder if it was because he was too boring or maybe too strict, but he had to, given his position.

"It seemed that the path of a class rep was a lonely one"

"W-well, it can't b-be helped. I didn't notice until you guys mentioned it" Uraraka was as good at hiding her feelings as Midoriya.

"I don't intend to censor any of you regarding the way you spend your time and with who. I just want to advise... be sure to avoid doing anything that you could regret later"

Iida was clearly avoiding address the elephant in the room, but everyone understood what he meant. They were way too close to him to say it was just a simple demonstration of affection towards a friend. And considering everything that happened between them and Midoriya, the girls failed to hold back a snicker. Each of the girls nodded, smiles plastered on their faces.

"Sure, Iida-kun. We'll take your words in consideration" said Yaomomo.

"Don't worry about a thing, rep" Kyoka faked a salute in a playful manner.

"Thank you for your concern, Iida-kun. Ribbit"

"Now, we should get going. There's a lot I want to study, right, Deku-kun?"

"R-right. L-l-let's go then"

The boys watched as the group left the common room. One single thought crossed their minds.

"Something... There's definitely something between them!"

As they slowly accepted the idea, or at least that it was possible, they wondered just how did Midoriya manage to be the object of affection of all the girls. Just what has he done?
