A/N: I've come to a realization that there are barely any stories that ship Izuku and Hatsume. The only one I've been able to find is on Wattpad, called Mechanical Love, which I would recommend reading. So, I have decided to take this matter into my own hands.

Warning: This fic takes place after Chapter 101 in the Boku no Hero Academia manga, so there will be spoilers for those who haven't seen it.

U.A High School was always a busy place. Students were always off doing their own things and pursuing their own hobbies, especially after classes now that each class had their own dorm rooms which they stayed in for a majority of the year. While Izuku Midoriya also likes to do these things, there was one place that he visited most often, and that was the Development Studio, otherwise known as Mei Hatsume's place.

Ever since the Sports Festival, Izuku and Mei had been friends of sorts. Ever since Izuku first went to the Development Studio to upgrade his hero costume, him and Mei had been progressively getting closer as they swapped ideas about Izuku's costume. Today, at the end of a very stressful Friday, Izuku decided to head to the Development Studio again, despite the questions from the rest of 1-A.

"You've been going to that studio a lot lately, Midoriya," Kirishima stated, "Why is that? Is your suit that bad?"

"N-no, it's just-" Izuku began.

"I hear him and Hatsume have a thing!" Sero exclaimed, which got the attentions of Iida, Uraraka, Bakugo and Mineta.

"WHAT?! THAT SHITTY DEKU HAS A THING FOR THE TECH BITCH?" Bakugo yelled.

"How do you know who Hatsume is, Bakugo? Have you ever been to the Development Studio?" Kirishima asked.

"What, you don't think I've had to make changes to my suit? You're a fucking idiot, hedgehog hair." Bakugo replied roughly.

"G-Guys, that isn't w-what it's like-"

"Bakugo, please stop yelling!" Iida yelled, waving his arms around like he usually does. "And Midoriya, if this is true, I congratulate you."

"T-there's really no n-need!"

"You aren't denying it! So, what is she like?" Mineta asked, nudging him in the side. "She's got a nice chest, you know? Really round and big."

"U-uhh t-that's-"

"Please Mineta, refrain from talking about Midoriya's friend like that!"

"WHO EVEN GIVES A SHIT ABOUT DEKU'S INSANE GIRLFRIEND?!"

Izuku began to blush, and decided to slowly leave the room while everyone else was arguing over him. As he went through the main doors, Uraraka watched him leave. "Deku... and Hatsume? Are they actually a... a thing?" She thought as the door slowly closed itself.

Meanwhile, Izuku began running all the way to the Development Studio. "Why would they think that I like Hatsume?" He asked himself. It didn't make sense in his mind, however it would make sense for someone else. Izuku was never that confident with talking to girls, and he would always stutter whenever he talked and feel flustered whenever he felt as if he was too close. Hatsume was no exception. He would always stutter when they talked, and he would always blush whenever she would move in closer to measure his waist or arms, or to simply show excitement.

"Am I sure that I don't like Hatsume? ...of course I don't! I like... Uraraka. Yeah. Not Hatsume, but Uraraka," He thought as he ran down the school halls. He was a nervous wreck, and everyone could see it. It didn't help that everyone loved to tease him.


Mei Hatsume was clearing a workbench by sweeping its contents onto the floor. She, too, had a rough day during her classes. Like with Izuku, Hatsume's classmates had noticed the unusual amount of time she spent with the green-haired kid in the hero course, and they too made assumptions on their friendship. No matter how many times she had blushed at the thought, she ignored her class.

Hatsume blushed once again, thinking back to the little scene in her homeroom class. "I can't let these thoughts bother me! I have work to do! My babies need constant attention!" She yelled, pushing more small pieces of metal and blueprints onto the ground. "Besides, it's not like Izuku wants to date me, or anything... right?"

Suddenly, the door to the Development Studio swung open, and Izuku stood in the door frame, panting heavily.

"Huh? Midoriya?" Hatsume asked. "Are you alright? Why are you panting?"

Izuku looked up slightly. "I... was just... running... to get here..." He replied between breaths.

Hatsume laughed, then smirked. "Why is that? Are you that eager to see me?" She then leaned forward, unintentionally revealing more of her chest. Izuku saw this and blushed hard, his head quickly looking in another direction.

"Ah! N-No, that i-isn't it!" Izuku replied hastily. "N-not that I don't wanna b-be here, o-or anything!"

Hatsume began to laugh, then pulled Izuku into the studio by his arm. "It's fine, I was just teasing you!" She said after finally gaining control of her laughter. Izuku blushed yet again.

"Oh, r-right."

"Okay, now that that's been dealt with, let's get to work." Hatsume said firmly as she sorted through the pile of stuff she had pushed onto the ground moments before. She placed a blueprint onto the table that held the plans for Izuku's costume, and the extra equipment that came with it. The two spent over an hour talking about Izuku's costume and the changes that could be made to it. This didn't last for very long, because the two eventually began talking about their day.

"... and then, everyone there began having a very loud and heated debate over our friendship. Weird, right?" Izuku finished with a laugh.

Hatsume furrowed her brow. "Really? They thought we were dating?"

"Yeah, I know. Iida and Uraraka didn't seem to mind, though. Well, maybe Uraraka did. She didn't say anything about it."

"That's so weird. My classmates asked the exact same things! Do we really spend that much time together?"

Izuku chuckled. "Heh, maybe we do. N-Not that it's a bad thing. I... I l-like spending time with you."

Hatsume blushed at the comment. "T-thanks, that's nice of you to say."

The two looked at each other for a few moments, before realizing what they were doing and both simultaneously looked away, blushing. Izuku pulled out his phone and read the time. "Damn, it's 8pm already?" he asked himself. Izuku looked up and saw Hatsume doing the same thing. "I-I, uh, I should go. It's g-getting a bit late.."

"Y-yeah, okay." Hatsume replied, slowly standing up. "Well, I'll see ya later!"

Izuku walked up to the doorway and looked back. "Bye!" he said, giving Hatsume a quick wave before walking off. As the door closed, Hatsume let out a long and heavy sigh.

"Ughh, that was... awkward.." she said as she walked back to her work table.

"You two seemed to be quite close. Why don't you ask him out?" A voice asked. Hatsume froze when she realized where the voice was coming from.

"Power Loader, sir?!" She yelled. "I-It's not like that!"

Power Loader laughed. "That's not what it seemed like to me."

"How long were you there for? How much did you see?" She asked hastily.

"Just the end. By the way, I think you two would be cute together." Power Loader said, receiving a blush from the support course girl. "Anyway, clean up this mess. I want my studio to be in perfect condition."

"Y-yes, sir!"


Izuku opened the door to the Class 1-A dorms, and found that most of the class were on the couches watching TV. Everyone cast their gaze towards him, making him feel uncomfortable."Oh, hey Deku!" Uraraka said cheerfully. "You were gone for a while."

"Yeah, he was probably out with his girlfriend!" Kaminari said while laughing.

"W-what? I don't have a g-girlfriend!" Izuku retorted.

"Hey hey, calm down Midoriya, we're just teasing." Kirishima said reassuringly. "Don't blame us for thinking it, you two have been spending every afternoon together after class. The whole 'Development Studio' thing makes it more suspicious, too."

"W-what?!"

"I agree." Todoroki said stoically, not taking an eye off the TV. "You two spend a lot of time together after classes. It would not be strange to assume that you two are an item."

"Oh man, Midoriya, I didn't know you had it in ya!" Ashido cheered. "Who would've thought that little old Midoriya would have a girlfriend before anyone else? And with someone so cute as well!"

"Oui, oui! Monsieur Midoriya, I believe that you and Madame Hatsume would be very good together." Aoyama said confidently.

"Deku can date whoever the fuck he wants, it wont change how much I care." Bakugo spat, staring coldly at the ground.

Izuku blushed once again at the comments given to him by his class. It seemed that no matter how much he protested, everyone in Class 1-A would assume that him and Hatsume will date. "I-I'm gonna go to bed!" Izuku yelled, quickly turning on his heel and walking away.

"Did we say something to offend him?" Jirou asked.

"No, he's probably just embarrassed. It's what happens in this sort of situation." The person sitting next to her, Kaminari, asked.

Meanwhile, Izuku was already in his dorm room. He went in, locked his door, and headed straight for his bed. He didn't even bother to change out of his uniform. As he pulled the All Might themed bed sheets over his body, his mind thought of Hatsume and all the comments everyone had made about the two of them.

"They're wrong, right? There's no way me and Hatsume would like each other!" He assured himself as he slowly closed his eyes. "We're just-"

"-too different." Hatsume thought, as she too was tucking herself into her bed. "But I guess... opposites do attract."

A/N: Feel free to leave a review. I kind of think I'm going too fast with the story already, but that's up to you guys to determine.
