Ride Or Die (Deku x Fem Reader)

Chapter 5: "Progress"

Y/n joyfully skips to Izuku's apartment. As she reaches her destination, she knocks on his door a few times. After a few moments of waiting, the door opens, revealing a 5'3 woman with green eyes, and medium length, green hair. Her hair color and big eyes makes it evident that she is Izuku's mom.

"Hello? Can I help you?" his mother asks sweetly.

"Good morning! I'm Y/n L/n. I'm here for Midoriya." Y/n says cheerfully.

"Oh, my son? I'll go get him real quick, he's still getting ready." She replies cheerfully, slightly closing the door. "Izuku, hun! There's a girl here for you~~" she announces the last part slyly.

Izuku? I could've swore people at school called him Deku. Maybe it's a nickname..

Y/n makes a mental note of his first name and waits for Izuku to appear next to his mother.

His heart skips a beat when he hears that a girl is at his door, but then he realizes who it is and dashes over to his mother and friend. As he emerges from behind his mother, his face turns red. He wore his whole uniform besides his black jacket and he still had his toothbrush in his mouth.

"Uh, hey! I'll be out in like 3 minutes!" he says and runs back to his bathroom to finish getting ready.

Y/n just smiles in response.

"So, you and Izuku are friends? When did this happen?" Inko asks excitedly.

Y/n laughs a little and responds,

"Just yesterday, but we started speaking to each other a couple days ago in class."

I wonder if his mother has any suspicions of his mental health.

Y/n thinks. As she opens her mouth to ask Inko about any concerns, Izuku appears again and gives his mother a hug before stepping out of his apartment.

Inko waves to the pair and closes the door with a grin as the teens begin their daily walk to school.

"I didn't know we were walking to school together today." Izuku was the first to speak.

"Yeah well, I thought we could walk to and from school together from now on? Since we have the same route anyway. If you want to..." she replies.

"Yeah, that's fine. Makes things less lonely.." he responds, looking at his shoes as he walks beside the girl.

"Yep, that's the plan!" Y/n says, swinging her arms back and forth.

They make it to school a little earlier and sit in their usual seats in first period. Y/n shows Izuku some tik toks to pass time and their laughter fills the classroom. They stop talking once the teacher starts class, but they still steal glances at each other during that time.

Y/n tries to stick with him as much as possible, even in the halls between classes, just in case bullies show up. They sit together at lunch from now on at an empty table. Izuku shows her some more of his notes and she makes some doodles to help with his illustrations. As she does so, he smiles with admiration at her talent.

"So, Midoriya. I was wondering if we could hang out today after school?" Y/n asked while adding some detail to Izuku's Eraser Head drawing.

"Oh, uh- sure!" he replies with shimmering eyes.

He hasn't had a real friend in almost 10 years. Besides Bakugou, when they were toddlers, Izuku only had himself to be with. Now he has someone to text him, laugh with, and even hang out with! And to make things even more new, his friend had to be a girl. A pretty girl. A pretty girl his age.

His palms start to sweat a bit and he tries wiping them on his pants under the table.

"But where? The café again?" he asked, looking at the new and improved Eraser Head illustration.
