"Midori-Ai," came the soothing voice of my girlfriend. I turn to see her as she runs up the beach towards myself and All Might. I smile widely at her as she skips towards us carrying a large basket. "I made us lunch," as she presents the basket.

I pull off my sweaty shirt to let my body cool down in the crisp October air, having five months left to clear the beach to be ready to accept One for All. I hear a squelching sound and look down at my diminutive girlfriend. Her entire face is red and she's sweating a lot. "Ai-chan, are you okay?" as I reach down and place the back of my hand on her forehead, "Oh you're panting, you must be freezing." As I pull her into my chest, "Geez you're shivering like a leaf," as I hear her vibrating in my embrace.

I look up at the smirking face of my one true love's mentor and mouth the words "Not a word." And he throws his hands up in the air in his defense. I am grateful to him, he's giving my sweet darling a chance at his greatest dream, one I couldn't help him with, and as much as it pains me to see him hurt and ache every day for the last five months, I know that it will all be worth it. "And if these muscles get any bigger I won't be able to control myself for much longer." As she clung to the warm and toned body of her boyfriend, purring at his touch.

A Few Years Ago.

"Oh, my baby, my poor sweet Izuku," a chubby short green haired woman moaned as her son, covered in burns, cuts, bruises with an arm bent the wrong way and his shin bone sticking out. "How did this happen?" She cried as she climbed into the ambulance alongside the paramedics, whose minor healing quirks were unable to treat wounds of this severity.

The investigation into why the sole quirkless boy in Shinshi Municipal Junior High was beaten to within an inch of his life sparked outrage from local parents, 14 instructors were sacked, 3 students expelled from various highschools and the principal had been brought up on charges. When Inko had found out that the driving force behind her son's torture was his childhood friend Katsuki, she refused to associate with her only remaining friend Mitsuki, his mother. It hurt Inko to be so alone in life but compared to the pain her son had to have felt, being set to that school to be tormented, ridiculed and beaten on a near daily basis, she could weather the loneliness.

She never did bother to find out what had happened to Katsuki, she didn't care, she took the settlement offer the school was generously giving her to not press further charges and moved within the weekend, because of how quickly the events wrapped up, it didn't make it into the national news, which she was thankful for. Inko knew the last thing Izuku wanted was pity from even more people. She would hear the neighbors sometimes, "There goes the quirkless boy, isn't he so sad." Or more rude comments, "Ugh, I can't believe they let his kind wander around on their own." She had bit her tongue to stop from causing a scene.

But the new suburb she had moved into from the apartment was much nicer, Izuku had a bit of a walk to his new Junior High, but it was still close enough to familiar areas, so it wasn't completely alien to them both. Dagobah Municipal Beach Park was closer, and the city was in talks about finally getting it cleaned up. That however wouldn't happen for a few years.

Izuku spent the first year and a half of junior high secluded, drawn into himself. His fear of standing out had grown drastically after his recovery of the sheer brutality he had faced at his old school, he barely spoke and when he did he whispered, hoping that people would ignore him. However, the torment he had endured may have been able to beat his confidence down, what no one was strong enough to do was take away his heroic spirit, what drives him to want to help people. And it rose up once again.

One day Izuku was walking passed another of the second-year class rooms, he heard voices. "Can you believe that midget, "Oh here's a love letter because I think I'm worth someone noticing me. Bah, if she didn't have such a large rack no one would even bother to make an attempt not to bowl her over in the halls."

Izuku looked around and saw a small girl, and he knew small as she barely came up to his waist, tears streaming like a river down her cheeks. Then the voices called out again, "Look she heard you, you hear that you fuck, maybe go jump off the roof if you want someone to love you." Before three boys pushed her to the ground and left. Izuku's heart panged in sympathy as he recalled how the kids at his old school would try to make him commit suicide because he wanted so desperately to be a hero. He hung his head at how much of a coward he was that he couldn't even offer a single word of encouragement to the girl as she walked passed him sniffling and choking back on a sob. The only sound to escape him lips was a strangled gasp. Then he heard a door slam down the hall behind him, suddenly he remembered that door led to the roof.

He didn't realize when he had moved but he tackled the exit door with his shoulder so hard it broke the handle off and he fell to the floor, he looked up with fear filled eyes as he saw the girl look at him with a confused face as she stood on the edge. She mouthed the words, "It's okay" before she stepped back.

There was a loud crash and scream, as the roof of a teacher's car was caved in, Izuku wheezed in pain as he pulled himself into a seated position from the mangled metal. He released his tight grip on the sobbing girl in his arms, she had been completely unharmed as Izuku had rolled as he grabbed her and absorbed the entire impact of falling three stories. With a quiet voice he asked, staring into the girl's circular pink eyes, "Are you okay?"

"I don't, I don't want to die," she cried into his chest.

"I didn't either." He said, remembering his failed attempt years ago. As the faculty rushed out and an ambulance was called, Izuku continued to comfort the girl, "It hurts though, it hurts so much to want something with everything that you have, and to be rejected at every turn." He spoke softly to her, she began to dry her eyes on her hands.

"What did you do to make the pain go away," she asked. Hoping this angel who saved her could mend a broken heart.

"I kept letting people hurt me, it was, it was wrong." Izuku confessed, "I tried to be strong and that only made it worse because I had no one."

"I have no one, so that means I'm just going to hurt more and more, I, I don't think I can take that." She cried.

"No, you have me, and I won't hurt you." Izuku rubbed circles into her back.

Over the next few months Izuku and Manami were inseparable, every lunch, every break they could be found together, her in his lap and many times words weren't even said between them, they didn't need to, just being there was enough. Some of the other students thought it was cute, but others voiced how "Looks like the biggest losers decided they would rather be losers together," but as much as that infuriated Manami that people would look at her hero Izuku like that, he made sure to remind her that he was here for her.

Inko was in love with the small woman, and when she met Manami Aiba's parents she suddenly had friends again, both parents quirks were strange in a way, one increased energy levels in a person and the other caused an increase in serotonin when used on a person, combined made someone feel like a million bucks, they were careful though as either quirks could be highly addictive. When Manami's parents had come into the hospital after hearing her daughter had tried to kill herself, they were in pieces, but finding her cuddling next to a young boy with green hair and then hearing what he did for a complete stranger they thanked the Midoriya's and it didn't take more than five seconds for any of the parents to see how close their children had gotten in such an incredibly short amount of time. To the point that the mothers had already started a wedding planner.

The adults would spend time together as they discussed their lives, until a question brought up by Manami's father led to Izuku and Inko confessing to their respective friends what had been their past. Manami's parents comforted Inko as she wept and cried about how much of a bad parent she was to miss all the signs, which turned into a pity party on both sides, that later then became them all apologizing and cheering each other up about how much of a good job they were doing raising their children.

In Manami's room, she was having a different reaction, she had started throwing things around in anger at how people could be so cruel to her not yet official boyfriend. When Izuku picked her up as she was about to smash her computer, she struggled in his grasp, demanding to be put down and taken to the people who hurt her Izuku, when he swore that they would never hurt him again and that he would rather spend time with the happy and loving girl he fell in love with, she melted into his hold.

"Do you mean it?" she whispered.

"Mean what?" he cooed as he stroked her hair.

"That you fell in love with me," she looked into his emerald eyes, hopeful tears forming.

Izuku leaned down with all the confidence he could muster and planted a deep kiss and held her frame to his much larger body, "With all of my might, I love you Ai-chan." As a strand of saliva connected their lips.

"Midori-Ai, I love you too." She tackled him down onto her bed and their lips met again, they broke apart when they heard the click of a camera, their parents had been watching the two of them make out for the last minute. After explaining that they were both too young to do anything more than making out, the parents left the two blushing teens alone.

"Ai-chan, will you uh, be my," he started to ask before she kissed him again.

"Always, Midori-Ai," she answered.

As summer came upon them in their third year of junior high Izuku wanted to take Manami to his favorite place growing up, since their school was having a half-day he figured he could avoid any of his old bullies, so when they walked under an overpass he was startled to hear a manhole cover rattle.

Izuku crept forward slowly keeping Manami behind him, something about this felt off to him. Before a sludgy mass shot out of the hole and looked around before spotting the two teens. "Hmm looks like I just got a disguise and a hostage, he won't dare attack me like that. Come here plaything," as he launched itself forward. Izuku noticed it's trajectory, it was heading straight towards Manami, he reacted and intercepted the slime and it engulfed him instead.

Manami started crying and desperately trying to claw Izuku out of the mass but it proved fruitless. She watched as Izuku began choking on the sludge and he mouthed to her, "It's okay," before his body stilled. Manami dropped to her knees and let out a heart wrenching scream.

"TEXAS SMASH!" and then a massive force of wind splattered the slime all over the underpass. Manami looked up and saw the Number One Hero All Might, the Symbol of Peace, of Hope, but then looked at Izuku's unmoving body and to her all hope was lost. She frantically pounded on Izuku's chest, kissing him and begging him to wake up.

All Might paused and watched with bated breath as he saw this young girl pleaded to every god, old and new, anyone who was listening to not let him die. He took a step forward before suddenly the boy's body jerked and he coughed up thick sludge, as he rolled over and vomited the contents of his stomach onto the ground. Before All Might could even check if the boy was alright the girl had tackled the young man to the ground and was speaking so rapidly he couldn't understand.

Izuku caressed his girlfriend's head, "It's okay Ai-chan, I'm fine, what saved…" as he looked up from the ground and saw his idol, standing with a knowing smirk. "AlL MiGHt!" he shouted with a cough. "Holy, I mean, did you save me?"

All Might struck a pose, "Of course young man, it's a heroes duty to save the innocent," as he walked over to the drainage and poured out the contents of two large bottles into the water, then began scooping up the remains of the sludge villain back into the now empty containers. He quickly placed them into his pocket once he felt the burning bile of blood rising in his throat, dashing quickly he signed the boy's notebook that had fallen open before turning away.

Manami nudged her star struck boyfriend, jarring him, "A-All Might, can you answer a question really quick," All Might grimaced he didn't really have time to do this, "If I don't have a quirk, can I still be a hero?" Causing the titanic hero to pause for a moment.

"I'm sorry, it's too dangerous without one, no, you can't," knowing the words he spoke would crush the boy's dreams. He launched himself into the sky leaving behind a devastated teenage boy and his girlfriend to pick up the pieces of his shattered dreams.

"Well, what, what does he know, you already saved me and that means you're my hero," she said pulling on his hand, let's go home, today just isn't our day. Izuku slowly nodded and they headed a different path back home.

Suddenly as they neared an intersection an explosion rang out, Izuku rushed over to the scene with Manami trailing close behind him. They saw an entire block burning, Backdraft trying to contain the blaze, while Death Arms and Kamui Woods tried to keep the crowd back. Mount Lady was struggling to squeeze into the older street which was much smaller than the main roads. Izuku looked to a skeletal looking man in the backrow, "What happened?"

"A villain, took a hostage, slime one from earlier in the day," Toshinori dejectedly stated.

"But All Might captured him just ten minutes ago, what happened, where did he go?" Izuku looked around for the larger than life hero.

"Don't know, but I don't think he's coming. And the other heroes are waiting for someone with a better suited quirk to handle the situation." Toshinori said while staring at the ground in shame. But he looked up quickly when he heard screaming, the boy from earlier had run in, ducking the pros and charging the villain.

In just a few seconds the boy had all but retrieved the hostage and incapacitated the villain that a pro could capitalize on the pain of a bag of school supplies striking your only vulnerable area would do. But none did, and the still stuck arm of the hostage reared back popping and crackling with deadly explosions. All Might swelled in size, ignoring the pain at going over his limit, he flew through the crowd, "DELWARE SMASH" as he delivered such a powerful uppercut it cleared the slime and made it rain at the drastic drop in pressure.

He failed to remember that the boy from earlier had been with his short girlfriend, nor did he notice that she had been standing behind the both of them and watched him transform. When he tried to sneak away from the reporters as the quirkless boy from earlier slowly trudged away calling for his girlfriend, she took the moment and struck, throwing a rock at the skeletal form of Toshinori.

"How dare you," she shouted at him. He looked at her and tried to pretend she had the wrong person. "No you don't All Might, I saw you transform, how fucking dare you. That sweet and heroic boy does what everyone else couldn't or wouldn't, even you, he acted and tried to save that boy and you're just going to let him walk away hating himself because the reporters and pros jumped on him for not having a quirk." She fumed.

"Well screw you Mr. Number One, you tell him he can't be a hero and then give him crap for being braver than everyone there combined. I can't believe he looks up to you." She stomped away to go catch up to Izuku. Leaving Toshinori alone with his thoughts.

As Izuku slowly began walking along the beachside, his small in size but big in love girlfriend doing everything she could to comfort him but this pain was raw, it was deep, because to hear the one person you looked up to the most, a pseudo father figure after yours left, say the words that cut deep as any blade. It was more than even the pure love Manami provided could heal, she hoped that time would help. Before a screeching sound ahead of them gave them pause, as All Might skid into their path.

Before Manami could open her mouth to give the hero another earful of what she thought of him, he spoke. "I'm sorry, I was wrong." All Might said, "I was weak and a coward, we all were, then you stepped up when no one else did, if not for your strong willed lover, I would have made a terrible mistake by ignoring you. Young man, I think, no I know you can be a hero someday, and I swear that I will help you make that dream a reality."

Manami watched as Izuku sunk to his knees and bawled, the emotions of the day welling up inside him, before she latched onto him to provide support, "Do you really mean it All Might, you'll help him?" she glared at the man who hurt the love of her life just an hour ago.

"Yes, I have a way," then All Might spent the next hour explaining One for All and a bit of the history of the quirk, when he showed the scar Izuku asked if it was the fight with Toxic Chainsaw, when he denied it, Izuku was prepared to let it go, but Manami pressed the issue. Which led to All Might explaining the history of All for One and One for All.

She asked Izuku not to take the quirk with how dangerous it seemed to be, but when he looked at her with eyes filled with hopes and dreams, she relented, "Okay, but if you are training him, I'm supervising, you will not do this alone, Midori-AI."

Over the next ten months Izuku would push himself to his limits, then go beyond them, growing stronger, faster, tougher and in Manami's case, way super hotter. Until the day of the exam, when Izuku begged Manami to take it with him.

"I'm not hero material, I don't think I can use my quirk to save anyone." She said.

"You already do, you save me every day, you have for the last two years, and I hope you'll save me forever," before landing a deep kiss as he held her up in his arms, she really enjoyed his new muscles he could carry her for hours and not tire, most of the time was spent making out though. He had grown taller over the period of training, but she had remained the same, the only thing growing had been her breasts.

She relented to his whim, "Damn him he knows I can't say no to his begging if his tongue is wrestling with mine."

And so they made their way towards U.A. to start their dream, to begin their adventure, to hopefully not get crushed by a giant, fucking robot.

Author's Notes: Midori-Ai can be read as Green Love, which is the Kanji reading of the words, however without the hyphen, if you read it instead into Hiragana its closer to Ryukuai, which is Love Affair, either way this is Manami's way of expressing her absolute love and affection for Izuku's.

Ai-chan can be read as him calling her his love, or it directly translates to Love Lover. Which is a fun nod to the old speculation on her name before she was properly introduced.

Another thing I noticed is her first name Manami sounds like the French word for My Female Friend, Mon Amie. She was designed specifically to be as cuddly as possible.

This was written because SonicMax practically begged for it and then I had an idea, this is going to be my third MHA story that I start, Drabbles doesn't count, this is also the only one of the three where Midoriya gets One for All, so that will be different.

How will Izuku handle the power. One for All and a Love boost, villains beware it's:

LOVE SMASH!

God the destructive force is going to be insane.

Soon though, confrontations to happen.

Mini-Girlfriend and Childhood Bully, who wins the shouting match

Nomu, more like What Is Love, Baby Don't Hurt Me, Nomu.

Battle of the midget pervs, who has to raunchiest collection, "Ai-chan when did you get video of me taking a shower?"

Does it still count as a fight if you're just making out, on national television?

"Hold my earings, this knife wielding yandere is going down," THOT THROWDOWN!

Is it wrong to adopt a girl whose taller than you?

Oh god this was so much hurt and comfort, so much fluff, I almost drowned in it.

If it feels disjointed that's because I kept adding and cutting parts that felt worse to me, there was this 1500 word part involving cops that never went anywhere in the first draft and I hated everything I was writing.

Hope people can tolerate until I can make some headway into the story and smooth things out.
