Number One

[PRO-HERO DEKU AU] 18+

A pro-hero can never truly just be a hero. They have to be everything all at once. As Izuku grows older, there's no UA High to provide a safety net anymore. It's been a few years now to the date. All Might has passed on, Aizawa has aged, and the graduated heroes work tirelessly day in and day out. Deku has become the pro-hero he always aspired to be, but there are countless aspects that the job description fails to capture. Being a hero is not just a profession for him; it encompasses his entire life. It seeps into his every action, dictates his meals, invades his nightmares, and bears down on him like an immense burden. While everyone else is a hero, he stands apart as Number One.

When you and he started dating, neither of you could have foreseen the profound influence you would have on each other, how that esteemed title would bring you closer and, at times, pull you apart. But what does that truly entail? What is it like to navigate the complexities of being in a relationship with a pro-hero? And will the two of you ever find the delicate balance needed to sustain it, or is it perhaps better to consider parting ways?
