My Hero Academia Imagines

Storm's Passing (Midoriya Izuku)

Midoriya Izuku x Reader

Requested by: Tennoofcheese666

Request: Midoriya and a female reader with a lighting quirk. The reader is afraid of thunderstorms, and Midoriya learns this, and goes to comfort her.

The rumbling of thunder in the distance and the flickering of the lights were the least of your problems at this moment. The flashing of the room and the sounds of the wind whipping against the window pane was how it started, but now the day had turned into a full-blown storm.

You cuddled further into the blankets you had taken from the bed and tried to block out the sounds by turning up your music. Instead, it seemed you had turned the volume up all the way, but it was still no good... as you could still the sounds of the storm outside. Seemed like you were destined to stay frozen in this small corner of your dorm room and hope the storm was soon to pass.

You sucked in a breath, trying to calm down, but it was short-lived. As the sounds of thunder cracked against the sky again, making you accidentally slam against the wall you had been using to support your back and yourself to some mental degree.

It was silent again, or at least until you could make out the sounds of someone's walking toward your door. A soft knocking barely heard over the sounds of rain pelting against the building. Slowly you managed to creep towards your door and opened it a crack, looking out to the person who was visiting you.

"O-oh! S-sorry to bother you, (Last Name)-san!" Midoriya spoke as he saw you come into view. "I-I was wondering if I could borrow your history textbook? I left mine at school... and despite the main building being so close, I don't think it's very safe to go out with the storm and everything..."

In every other situation you would have thought Midoriya was acting rather cute. Seeing him get so embarrassed asking for a simple textbook was enough to make you give off a soft chuckle. Slowly you nodded to the male and let him inside your room.

He waited patiently by the door as you started to go through your bag. The thunder had started to get further away and much quieter... so you had time to get Midoriya what he needed before sending him off on his own.

You had found the textbook soon enough and started making your way back towards the green haired male. Your eyes getting a quick flash of light as another crack of thunder took over the room. This one much louder and sending vibrations through the room.

You wasted no time in letting out a shriek of terror and falling to the floor as the textbook was flung above you. Midoriya was quick to act, snatching the textbook out of midair before the large and heavy book could strike your crouched form.

He held onto the book but observed your form in the fetal position. Your ears covered by your hands and how you trembled lightly. He was a smart boy though, and could easily recognize how it must be the storm that had scared you.

"Hey... are you okay?" He asked softly.

"Y-Yeah... just fine!" You lied, your false words not holding up as another flash of light caused you to press further into yourself.

"It's the storm... isn't it." He mumbled, seeming to lose himself in thought for a moment. "I-I'll be right back, (Last Name)-san!"

You managed to look up to see him sprint out of the room. And as he promised no less than five minutes later he returned. A bit out of breath, but having that determined look on his face that you had become so familiar with.

Midoriya came over to you, crouching down beside you and smiling brightly as he placed something on your head. His lips moving but no sound coming from them. You pulled the headsets away and looked at him.

"From Yaoyorozu-san!" He told you again, then smiled once more. "They should help keep the noise away... and if you go into your closest then maybe the light won't reach you either..."

You nodded slowly, rising to your feet. Midoriya got up with you as well, more than ready to help you get more comfortable. And yet, when you instead engulfed him into a hug and squeezed him tightly he was stuck to the ground, like a statue.

"Thanks, Midoriya-kun... but I think you being here is more than enough now." You laughed. "Plus... it's more the sound that scares me... and these headsets will definitely help with it. After all... what kind of lightning quirk user would I be if I was afraid of lightning?"

Midoriya's face was bright red, but even so, he managed to smile back. His eyes shining brightly when he saw the fear disappearing from yours. It looked like things worked out fine... and maybe next time... you'd be able to get through the storm peacefully.
