1• ' I'll do it '

Adolescence is awkward for everyone to go through and it didn't spare Midoriya Izuku who couldn't even make time to go on dates while trying his hardest to control One For All and most of his teen years were spent between villains and hero agencies, citizens and victims, training and studying and where he was improving in every area possible... His romantic and social skills were crippled and poorly developed.

Even if he was of age already and one of the most prominent heroes out there, he still awkwardly stuttered whenever a girl tried to flirt with him even in the slighest, overhearing in his own blushing and always blurting out nonsensical responses that ended up in... No dates. No dates yet.

This fact didn't go unnoticed by (y/n) since the very first moment they started working together in the same agency, whenever a fangirl approached him, whenever he had TV interviews and even when they were alone together.

Just like in that very moment, they were both working undercover to figure out if a villain was altering the food in that restaurant to manipulate the customers and they had to pretend they were a couple... A normal couple that holds hands but Izuku's hand was already clammy and uncomfortable to hold with how much sweat it was producing.

" I'll do it. " (Y/n) had respectfully promised she would always let him know if she was going to use her quirk on him and it this case, it was utterly necessary.

With a gentle sigh, (y/n) focused her energy towards the awkward one to try and soothe his nerves with her sedative quirk, which acted like anesthetics in different levels, from mild relaxation to absolute deep sleep.

Even if the green-haired hero didn't mind her using it on him, he still appreciated the respect for boundaries she had, always calm and composed, always able to keep him focused even if the reason why he got so nervous was her.

How could he keep a straight face when she leaned over the restaurant table with a hand tangled with his and her fingertips subtly brushing up and down his wrist where his pulse was beating hard.

Midoriya had spent months trying to find the perfect chance to try and ask (y/n) out since it was the most reasonable thing to do when he realized he had a huge crush on the female hero and his friends kept on pushing him to do so, promising he had to be the one taking the initiative and be ' the man ' for once. But poor Izuku could barely hold her hand without blushing, how would he possibly ask her out ? He even thought about asking her to use her quirk on him before doing so but that was kind of... Ridiculous.

The rest of their mission was carried out successfully after catching the culprits red-handed in what was one of the easiest tasks they have had in months.

" Well that was... Underwhelming. I think we could still hang around for a while, it's early and to be honest, we haven't had a rest in a while, have we ? " Even her voice was making his stomach tight and Midoriya wondered how he actually managed to be around her for so long and still be coherent.

But before he could even give his own input on the matter, a street photographer approached them in what was one of the busiest areas of the city, squealing about them being such a good looking couple and begging to take a few pictures for her portfolio.

" But we are not... " Izuku couldn't even finish his sentence when he was cut off by his hero partner.

" Sure! Any pose you would like us on ? " The way (y/n) spoke was always so calm and reassuring, sweet but not too mellow.

" Just hug each other or kiss each other ! This will fit so great in my album of street couples. " The photographer on the other hand seemed overly excited and eager to push them together.

With (y/n)'s arm sneaking around the hero's broad shoulders and guiding his arm around her waist, she uttered into his ear. " I'll do it. " And thank God she did because Izuku would have imploded in this kind of position, with his arm around the small of her back for the first time, her lips brushing on his ear when she spoke and her overall closeness infusing him with her sweet scent.

Midoriya froze there, staring at the camera as if a mugshot was being taken and the expression on his face resembled a lost puppy but the photographer couldn't be happier with the results. He was still in a trance while (y/n) exchanged her contact information to get the edited pictures shared with her later on.

" Izuku... Are you okay ? I apologize for doing that but she seemed way too excited to take a pict-- "

" I liked it ! I mean... " Even though she still had some of her quirk lingering in his system, he was still stuttering here and there. " I wouldn't have had the courage to hug you like that if she hadn't insisted... "

The silence was awkward but she was so focused on analyzing his body language and the way his gaze avoided hers that instead of responding with words, she simply leaned in to place the most gentle peck to the corner of his lips.

Oh-uh.

The moment his hand rested on the kissed spot and his temperature began raising in spite of the cold weather, she immediately spat nervously " I'll do it ! " And gently calmed him back down.
