Outside the sea (deku x reader)

4

As both teens and the frail man approached the beach, Midoriya learned that Vulko lived in the Mizu district, a whole place where the buildings were ranged from partly to completely submerged in water, from there he tried guessing what her quirk was, maybe an underwater breathing, or maybe it was one of the transmutation quirks, he started to write on his notebook ideas and how it would connect to All Might.

As Midoriya kept mumbling, the mentor and Vulko watched as he unintentionally quickened his pace, they didn't have to wait long as the beach got nearer, and the shore became clearer. All Might tapped on midoriya's shoulder as the teen looked at them seeing how both of them wer more composed. He then looked towards the beach and saw 3 standing figures in a clearance within the rubble that he's supposed to clean in a few months.

He straightened his back and shut his lips, his notebook now on his back as he tried to copy all might's military-like stance, failing miserably so he opted to place his hands directly down and try and remain calm as Vulko.

They all arrived to the shore, the 3 figures were wearing bathing suits that looked like armor with a scale texture, a woman that looked almost identical to Vulko stood on the middle as a man that seemed to be no older than 18 stood on the left, his hair was gray but his eyes resembled the eyes of the woman, both of them had a tattoo on their forearm with a weird sign, and both of them were the calmest, a man to the right on the other hand had fish-like features and he was looking around the shore in disgust.

All might stopped and Midoriya did the same, yet Vulko stood in front of both of them and did a small bow  and took a stance similar to the woman and the young teen. The woman in the middle then relaxed and smiled at Vulko, she then took a slight breath and then spoke. "I see that you've met the gifted one" her eyes wandered to Midoriya and then to All Might. "I am glad you did follow through your promise Mr.Yagi" she did a small nod and all might seemed to puff out his chest, maybe a praise to himself.

"Now I do believe we owe you an explanation Midoriya" the 18 year old looked at him and suddenly all eyes were on him, he started to sweat a little but then all people seemed to get off of their military stances.

"We are from Atlantis" Vulko simply stated as she turned her body towards Midoriya, his face turned into confusion and then he fell to the ground.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was that now they all were sitting down and that Vulko was looking somewhere, she looked calm, all her movements were elegant, almost perfect. The sun didn't help too, the evening colors only helped to contrast her blue eyes, the same eyes that were staring at him now.

"I see you're awake" the 18 year old boy said, almost hostile. The green haired boy say up quickly and blushed. "We unloaded a very heavy knowledge to you" the woman spoke again, her voice soft this time. "I apologize for that reaction" the teen spoke softly, almost a whisper.

"I heard that your training will be to clean this whole beach" the man with the fish features now looked at him, his eyes less hostile yet his posture remained proud. "My job here is to guarantee the safety of both the surface and Atlantis" Vulko spoke, her voice still firm as she looked at Midoriya with the same curiosity that she had in the cafe.

"Both? What happened? Does the government know you all exist? But with quirks the surface would have been glad to welcome Atlantis-" he was cut off with a scoff, the young man was almost angry "the surface rejected and executed the people who tried to come here, specifically this country" he stared indignantly at the green haired boy. "The whole point of this is that as Y/N will rise in influence and the Atlantis population will slowly integrate and influence the surface until we can reveal ourselves without a war breaking out" the woman spoke again. Her eyes looking at Vulko as she looked to be proud but a little embarrassed.

"Vulko? But-" he was cut off again by the woman. "You can call her by the first name basis, and she is our only candidate for this mission in Japan, you are a coincidence in this plan, but it works out for the best, what we want right now is for the both of you to become allies, have a bond so strong and strong influence that when Atlantis reveals themselves, we can all live in peace" her hands moved as she spoke and her mouth turned into a smile. Izuku was drawn in as his brain tried to process the information. The woman then looked at both teens with a look of hope.

By 7pm all details were shared, and Izuku had so many failsafes in the plan that he saw why all might agreed to his part, all he had to do was agree.

"We what?" He stood in front of Vu- Y/N as she held a small dagger in her hand. "We call it a 'blood contract' there was a similar tradition in Japan too, it's just to symbolize that we are committed to the plan" she looked calm unlike Izuku, he was tense and tried to not stare at her face too much. "We can also only shake hands-" she was cut off by Midoriya shaking his head "I want to respect your traditions" he then looked at her again but now with a look of determination that contrasted the blush on his cheeks, Y/N then took the dagger and cut the back side of her left hand and then handed the knife to midoriya who cut his palm and then placed it on her cut, the cuts were perfectly overlapping each other's the blood trickled down to the sand.

—————

Over the next few weeks Midoriya was being watched now by 2 people, though most of the time, Vul- Y/N would be reading or writing in the notebook he saw.

During their free time he would teach her how to talk in a more casual way and would teak her kanji that she asked him about. They both grew closer and began to speak to each other in both English and Japanese. What surprised Y/N was how much Midoriya seemed to be passionate about being a hero.

Weeks went by before he asked about what made Atlantis people different. "Please?" He had been bugging you all evening with questions. "I told you, it's not that impressive" you have been trying to read all day without hearing the same question every 5 minutes.

"If it's not that special then you shouldn't have any problem telling me" he put down the 3 microwaves he was moving in the truck and then he moved towards you, his hoodie was drenched which allowed you to see his developing muscles, he has come a long way since when you both first met.

"Tomorrow" you only mumbled but his smile looked like the one a kid would make if you told him he could have extra food. "Tell Mr.Yagi, he's been dying to see it too" you only mumbled and then got up to go back home as the boy ran excitedly as if he wasn't dying of exhaustion a minute ago.
