Deku X Reader FLUFF

*Art is not mine*

First Kiss

Ever since your best friend, Izuku, got his new quirk, you haven't gotten to see him much lately. You knew that he was busy trying to figure out how his new found quirk worked and how to control it,  but there was definitely more to the story and you knew that. Izuku knew that you knew that. Which is why he was avoiding you. 

Not only did this hurt your friendship, but it also hurt you personally. You cared deeply for him and maybe even had feelings for him, so to see him actively avoiding you made you feel sick. 

It was a Friday night, and you couldn't help but wonder what he was doing. Usually, the two of you would meet up at the library or one of the houses and study or watch a movie. You had assumed that this was still the plan. 

So, when it came to be around 6:30 and he still wasn't answering his phone, you became worried. He never missed your calls, and when he did he always called you back within the hour, so what was taking up all of his attention. 

Hours and hours had passed. You were getting ready for bed, trying to deal with the heaviness in your chest as you crawled into bed. 

You were almost asleep, ignoring every ache in your chest, when you heard a small knock on your door. You stayed put. 

After a few moments the door began to creek open, letting a stream of light to pour into your room. 

You heard a soft sigh. The door closed with a soft click as your floors gently creaked under the person walking towards you. 

Whoever it was gently sat down on your bed. It was quiet for a moment. 

"I messed up.." they whispered. You stayed still, hoping for him to continue, now knowing that it was Izuku. 

"I know you're not asleep." He said. You sighed heavily and rolled over to face him. You lay on your back and look up at him. 

"I was hoping you would believe it and leave." You said truthfully. He looked at you with sad eyes. 

"I'm sorry. I know I haven't been paying that much attention you lately, but this is important to me." He told you. You bit your lip gently and looked up at your ceiling. 

"I know.." You responded, your gaze not leaving the spot your eyes settled on. It was quiet for a moment while you thought of what to say.

"But before that.. so was I." You whispered, tears starting to form in your eyes. You knew that in the morning you would probably feel embarrassed for being so upset about this. However, the only thing that you could think about right now is the fact that he's been avoiding you and you didn't know why. You honestly didn't even know why he was here right now. 

"You still are!" He tried to say. You shook your head and brought your hand up to your eyes, wiping away the tears that slipped down your face to your ear. 

"Then why are you avoiding me?" You asked him. Your voice shook and you felt like your head was going to explode. You hadn't allowed yourself to be hurt about everything that he was doing, but now that you're talking to him about it, you found yourself being highly emotional with the subject. 

He looked down at you and sighed gently. 

"Because I can't lie to you.." He whispered. For the first time in a while, you shifted your gaze towards him. He also had tears in his eyes. 

"What do you mean?" You asked him. As you spoke you sat up, facing him more openly. He turned slightly to face you better as well. 

"I can't give you all of the details.." he started. You felt your heart sink

"All I can say is I've been studying under All Might for the past few months." He admitted. You froze. You knew how much of an admirer Izuku was of All Might.

Suddenly it hit you. This is probably one of the best things to happen to Izuku in the history of ever.

"Oh.. that's.." you tried to find your words.

"I know it sounds crazy, but he's the only one who knows how to help me with this quirk.. so he's been training me for the entrance exams for UA." He continued. It fell quiet. It stayed like this for a while.

"I'm.. really happy for you, Izuku." You finally told him. He looked at you. You tried avoiding eye contact as much as you could so you could hide the hurt that was still lingering. 

Similar to him, you had a hard time lying to him. 

"You are still very important to me." He told you, placing his hand under your chin. He angled your face in a position that made you look him in his eyes.

He looked nervous. Before you could respond, be began leaning into you. You felt his lips briefly touch yours. it lasted only a second, but you could feel the spark between the two of you. You only prayed that he felt it too.

Before he got too far from you, you placed your hand on the back of his neck and pulled him in closer to you, placing your lips on his one more time.

It was a gentle kiss. His hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer to him.  

He pulled away, resting his head on your forehead as he took in a shaky breathe. 

"I don't want you to ever think that you're not important to me ever again." He whispered to you. "Because I'd give up the world to see you happy."

You bit your lip, closing your eyes as you absorbed everything he was saying to you. You stored the memory of his lips on yours in a special place. 

"Okay. I believe you.." You responded. He smiled, placing his lips back on yours for another kiss. This one was short and sweet. 

You jumped slightly when you heard a knock on the door. 

"It's almost time for bed, Izuku has to leave soon." Your mother called through the door. 

"Okay, mom." You called back. He looked you in the eyes as he spoke to you. 

"We can watch a movie tomorrow night, alright?" He told you. You nodded your head gently. 

He stood from your bed then leaned down to kiss your forehead. 

"I'll text you when I get home." He told you gently. You smiled at him. 

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." You responded. He smiled, giving you one more kiss, causing you to giggle as you kissed him back. When he pulled away, he straightened up, then made his way to the door. 

He looked back at you as he stepped out and closed the door. You sat there quietly, smiling to yourself. 

You lay back down, staring at the ceiling as you processed everything that happened.

After a while your phone buzzed. You looked at it to see that it was Izuku. 

'Sleep well, princess. I'll see you tomorrow.'

You smiled widely as you responded. 

'Sleep tight, my prince.'

You put your phone down, then rolled over. 

You fell asleep to the memory of Izuku kissing you, and honestly, you wouldn't want it any other way.
