My Hero Oneshots

Mermaids 🍋

A/N Let's be honest, my impatient ass wants to just upload everything now because I'm so proud of them. BUT they still need editing so we must all wait. 😓

"I hate fish," Deku groaned, he just got drenched again from several fish getting free from the net and landing on him, again. We are on summer break and my dad thought it was a great idea to take us on a commercial fishing boat. And no, going on a hunger strike did not get us out of it.

I groaned when the boat rocked again and a wave of water drenched us when all we did was stand there. I mean everyone is wet but why did we have to get dragged into this shit? Dad told us right before we got on board. We will get sea food for a third of the usual cost if we just go out with them for three days during break. Which I mean I get it but I think I am starting to develop an allergy or something. Just seeing food in general is making me feel sick but at least today marks our third day and we don't have to do it again. Because I'm not doing this shit next year when I am a full time pro hero. Dad and the hag can do it themselves!

"AH!" I looked up to see that a small squid had gotten out of one of the nets and Deku had tripped on it. I picked up the damn thing and threw it with the others before helping him up. We haven't fought once while on this trip, we have been far too busy just trying not to fall overboard for any of that nonsense.

We quickly took care of our nets and when we looked up again it was starting to get dark so we were finally able to go back to the docks. This hell was finally coming to an end.

Once the boat was docked and the nets and equipment in general were taken care of, they had us help prep some of the fish while we waited for my dad to pick us up. When he did finally arrive there was a little girl with him making me frown. Was this another kid of one of his cousins? He was an only child growing up so I don't actually have any cousins but he had tons and they had kids so every now and again there will be another little kid running around that I have no idea what their name could be and it's just sad when Deku doesn't even try to keep their names straight anymore.

"Kacchan!" She called out, making me think I must have met this one at least once before. She looks around four or five but she looks familiar so who actually knows? She ran up and hugged Deku and a jolt ran through me, making me dodge her hug before she made a face when she realized that we were drenched to the bone.

"You two are so wet you could be mermaids! Mermen? Or merpeople anyway," she laughed and while I tried not to curse in front of her, Deku fell over. I remember her now. She is actually 26, but someone made the comment that she looked like a little kid and her quirk did this to her as a result.

I looked down at Deku and found a scaly fish tail, it was a dark greenish black like his hair. I remember her quirk now; when she hugs someone and says they are like something they actually turn into it. No one has figured out how the quirk comes undone yet but no one thinks it's a timer because it changes drastically each time.

"Yuna," Deku and I sighed out together while my dad tried not to laugh out right. The crew we had worked with all day stopped what they were doing and stared.

"Can you please try and turn me back to normal?" Deku tried and she started crying about us not liking mermaids and I glared at my dad.

"Kacchan? Make a deal with me?" Deku asked and I looked over at him.

"No deals!" The girl pouted but I ignored her.

"I'll give you what you give and take what you take," I offered smiling and I could see his eyes lighting up at the word play.

"If I do, will you swim with me?" He asked, excitedly and I couldn't help laughing and offering him my hand.

"Deal," he squealed his giggles before he took my hand and suddenly I'm not standing anymore. Right, Mermaids. I should have known.
