Couples Birthdays

Izuku

Izuku couldn't help but smirk. It was literally the first thing in the morning – The very first thing – and he already had the biggest grin on his face.

Of course, that had to be expected when one had a girlfriend like Mina, who always seemed to go that extra mile to try and make his day that much better whenever she saw him. And today, she'd really gone that extra mile. She didn't have to – He'd told her that she didn't have to do anything for his birthday.

Yet here it was.

His birthdays had always been quiet affairs. He'd grown up Quirkless, and by extension, with very few to absolutely no friends whatsoever. So instead of having big parties like all the other kids had, he and his mother always ended up doing something, and she would spoil him rotten. The cinema, a trip to the Hero museum, whatever he wanted to do. He'd always feel bad in a way, because it felt like for all the world that he was taking advantage of her but because it was his birthday.

He never asked for much either. Kids his age would often ask for the most expensive bits in new technology, or sophisticated equipment for whatever hobbies they had. All Izuku had wanted growing up was a Quirk, and that had always been impossible, until One For All. For possessions though, usually a poster or an action figure of All Might was all it took to please him.

Something Mina was aware of.

He had absolutely no idea how she had done it, but when he had woken up that day, opening his eyes to the realities of the waking world to face the day, there it was. Plastered to his roof.

A fully signed poster by his favorite Hero.

It was one of the newer ones too – The ones that ended up being published after his retirement; A replication of the pose he made after his victory against All For One, illustrated in such a way to make the savior of the Kamino ward to look as triumphant and victorious as he possibly could be. Being forced out of the Hero business had in no way diminished the respect or admiration that millions of people worldwide had for the amazing man Izuku felt honored to call his mentor, and merchandise was still sold to this day.

Getting a signature wouldn't have been too difficult either – The man did live on campus along with the rest of the teachers after all, and it was certainly no secret that Izuku virtually worshiped the man. Anyone who wanted to get a signature from him would only have to go and ask, and All Might would do so without question – The Hero worship Izuku held towards him was no secret even to his mentor.

It was a simple gift. Something small. Just the sort of thing that he liked. And it wasn't something that she would have had to go out of her way for – At least, not much.

How on earth she had gotten into his room, reached to the ceiling, and hung up a poster over his sleeping body whilst making certain it didn't fall on him, all without waking him up, Izuku hadn't the foggiest. He was honestly unsure if he should be impressed, or concerned that she would use her apparent newfound breaking and entering talents for something less innocent. He felt himself laugh gently. And then he stopped, looked up at his new poster, and smiled.

Just smiled.

Mina was a lot of things. Hyperactive, jumpy, energetic and downright exhausting at times. She could be difficult when she wanted to be, and many times, Izuku had felt himself being run down by her antics. She could be over the top, and more than once, he'd been called upon to do some of the most ridiculous things in order to get her out of trouble. Some people even asked her why he stuck with her.

And this was why. Because for all the faults that someone could list about her, there was always that part of her which was so caring, so kind, and so willing to go that extra mile. She was the kind of person that just made the effort, not because she was expecting something in return, but because she just wanted to make him happy. To make him feel loved.

There was no doubt in his mind that he was.

And there was no doubt in his mind that this certainly wasn't going to be all she had planned.

He couldn't wait to find out what else she'd got up her sleeve. First though, he had a poster he needed to get off his ceiling.

And then, he had to figure out what he was going to do for her birthday.

This is just a short thing... But it's something. I wanted to do something for Izuku's birthday, and I thought that this might be nice. Izuku and Mina share a birth-month, Izuku being the 15th, and Mina being the 30th, so I thought a two-shot, short little things like this, might be fun, and a nice short way to celebrate the two best fluffs in MHA's birthdays. I have way too much going on as is, but I figured a short drabble would be a nice thing to do.

I hope you somehow enjoyed this short little thing, and ill see you hopefully on the 30th for Mina's drabble!
