Izuku's Truth or Dare

Hello, and welcome to my first My Hero Academia fanfic. To top it off, I was unaware of this series despite surfing the net, and though i keep hesting about it, I had no idea that this series is very popular not only in Japan but also overseas, and perhaps due to being focused on other anime series that I somewhat became oblivious of this manga up until now.
It wasn't until last November that I suscribed to a cable company in my country, where Animax-Asia is among the channels, and a month later, the anime version of My Hero Academia premiered on Animax (in Japanese audio with subtitles), and there I got to see it, and as much as I hate to admit, I find it interesting and watched the episodes.
While early episodes of the season 1 was a bit slow, it piqued my interests and watched it throughout, with season 2 just concluded (as of this chapter upload), and thus it inspired me to come up with a fanfic version of this anime.
Inspirations of this fanfic came from Izuku, as his struggles of becoming a hero gave me ideas, where he narrowly overcame lots of obstacles while being a student of UA High School, and having watched the final episode where Izuku Midoriya struggling to restrain himself while under the hands of Tomura Shigaraki, it gave me an idea of what would happen if Izuku loses his composure should an innocent victim is killed in front of him.
Despite being calm enough and being reasonable, as well as being concerned with other people, such as Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku is still human and I thought of doing an experiment where Izuku is pushed to his limits should he get into a situation where he is helpless.
Another inspiration would be the pairing of Izuku and Ochako Uraraka. Throughout the two seasons Uraraka harbors feelings for Izuku, but what would happen if Izuku started to take notice of her other than being a classmate?
Along with the fact that they are both aged 15, I figured that I make a story where both would struggle in situations that are outside UA High.
Another source of inspiration is that in a few months from now it'll be summer time at my country, and that gave me an inspiration to come up with a fic like this, feeling it would be quite fun to write and read. While Izuku and Uraraka are the main lead, other female characters will be part of this story given the nature of this new fic..
This, in effect, would be my first attempt to do a slight harem-type fic since I usually tend to stray from that trope given that most of my romance-type fics involve one boy and one girl pairings.
Lastly, the events of this fic takes place after the end of season two, where Izuku and his classmates are about to go on summer vacation, as well as after Izuku's encounter with Tomura Shiragaki.
Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
The scene takes place where the practical exams are taking place, where most of the participating students dueled with the teachers, some, such as Shoto Todoroki, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui, Minoru Mineta, Momo Yaoyorozu, Ochako Uraraka, and Yuga Aoyama, passed, while a few others were defeated.
The scene then shows that Uraraka and her assigned partner, Aoyama, are facing off one of the teachers, who uses a suit that uses a vacuum-like Quirk to suck its targets towards the user, and Uraraka is struggling on what to do, but then Aoyama, in spite of their current pinch, spoke to her and asked her something.
"Uraraka..."
"Y-yes...?"
""If I were Izuku Midoriya...what would I do?"...that's what you're thinking, right?"
"..."
"Izuku Midoriya..."
"..."
"You're in love with him...aren't you...?"
"EEEEHHH?"
Uraraka was taken by surprise as Aoyama guessed, if not deduced, that she has feelings for Izuku, and in her flustered reaction, she got sucked towards the their intended target, Thirteen, and in a moment of spontaneous reaction, she uses her Quirk, and her quick thinking, to pin down Thirteen, with Aoyama following suit and pinned down their target, thus passing the exam.
Several minutes later, the scene shows that Izuku and Bakugo are having problems taking on their assigned target, All Might, due to the teacher's immense power and speed, along with Bakugo's unwillingness to cooperate with Izuku, despite the latter's urging to listen for a moment, yet Bakugo was unwilling due to his pride and attitude.
"Kachan!"
"Shut up, Deku!"
"Listen...!"
"Stuff it! I'm not taking orders from you!"
"This is important!"
"Shut up, Deku!"
"Kachan!"
"I said shut the FUCK up!"
As the minutes passed by, the two students were driven to a corner, and eventually, Bakugo indirectly relents and reluctantly cooperated with Izuku, and they managed to wear down All Might, though the two teens were injured in the process, with Bakugo knocked unconscious yet they managed to pin All Might down as Izuku uses his Quirk to land a strong punch that stunned All Might and grabbed the unconscious Bakugo and made it out of the exit, thus passing the exams.

A few days later Izuku and Bakugo eventually recovered and then it was announced that summer vacation is about to commence, and the students went to a mall to buy summer attires and swimsuits, and the group split up to look for something to buy, leaving Izuku alone.
As he pondered what to do next, he is approached by what appeared to be a civilian in a hooded jacket, and Izuku is unaware that it was Tomura, as he placed his fingers around his neck, telling him what will happen if he tries to cause a commotion, as well as threatening to harm the civilians inside the mall without hesitation.
The younger boy was forced to go along with Tomura and while sitting on a bench, Tomura asked Izuku what are his goals and why he aspired to be a hero. Tomura asked if Izuku is doing this for money and/or fame, as well as why does he emulate what All Might does.
Izuku told Tomura his answers, and while he is initially in disbelief, he became ecstatic as he apparently understood why applicants for the league of Villains are emulating Hero Killer: Stahn's belief, and in his zest, he apparently, if unknowingly, began to strangle Izuku, and the younger boy started to struggle for air.
By then Uraraka came and noticed Izuku, and Tomura release his hold as he tells Izuku to look forward to their next encounter. Izuku calls out Tomura's name, prompting Uraraka to call security, but Tomura has already fled and escaped undetected.
She then asked Izuku if he is okay, which he assured to her that he is, yet he is shown to be shaken by the ordeal.
"Deku-chan...are you okay...?"
"Y-yeah...I'm okay..."
"Are you sure...?"
"Yes...I'm sure..."
"Deku-chan..."
"D-don't...worry..."
"..."
"..."
Soon the park went into lockdown and the civilians within the park were questioned thoroughly before being let go. At the police station, Izuku narrated what he went through before he was escorted home with his mother.
-x-
A few days later, Izuku and Uraraka are at a cafeteria inside UA High, where they talked about what to do once summer vacation starts, with Izuku stating that he will train harder to become strong, strong enough or better so that if ever he run into Shigaraki again he will be ready for him if Shigaraki threaten any civilian he came across to.
Uraraka became concerned, and tells Izuku that she will help him if the situation calls for it, and Izuku smiled and thanked her for the support. Uraraka blushed and looked away, as she struggled to keep her feelings on hold as she was too shy to show him what she feel about him.
Not far, a few UA students watched on in private, and noted that Uraraka is obviously in love with Izuku, whilst he appeared oblivious to what is shown in front of him. Momo Yaoyorozu and Tsuyu Asui watches on and noted what they saw, noting that Uraraka and Izuku would make a good romantic pair, yet Izuku must be aware that Uraraka has feelings for him.
"Asui...what do you think?"
"About?"
"Midoriya. It seems that he is unaware that Uraraka has feelings for him."
"I suppose he is oblivious to that fact. I guess he should focus first on becoming a pro-hero first before entertaining the idea of romance."
"Same here, Asui."
"But what if he...?"
"That is for him to find out."
"I suppose..."
At the other side, a few girls from Class 1-B watches on, as they too deduced a potential romantic moment between Izuku and Uraraka. The girls wondered whether Izuku is aware of it or if he is really dense when it comes to love or romance.
The girls from Class 1-B watching are seen, who turn out to be:
- Itsuka Kendo
- Pony Tsunotori
- Yui Konda
The three girls are pondering when would Izuku realize that a potential love interest is right in front of him yet he appeared either oblivious or plain dense, as he did not seem to notice how Uraraka gets flustered whenever she is near him.
"You saw that?"
"Yup."
"Better than watching an anime, huh?"
"You bet. Beats watching a live-action romance drama on TV."
"Want to bet?"
"On what?"
"Whether Uraraka confess to Midoriya her feelings?"
"Sounds like fun."
"You got it."
The scene took an awkward turn when Mei Hatsune showed up and hugged Izuku, causing him to blush deeply as her breasts were pressing his upper chest, due to Hatsune being taller than him. Uraraka can be seen steaming from her ears as it was obvious that Hatsune is flirting with Izuku, yet she could not bring herself to intervene.
As Izuku tried to compose himself, Hatsune acted like a concerned citizen as she asked him how he is doing after hearing about his unexpected and unplanned encounter with Tomura Shigaraki.
"Midoriya-kun…"
"Y-yes…?"
"I heard…"
"Huh?"
"You were held hostage by a villain…"
"Ah…d-don't worry about it. I'm fine."
"Are you sure…?"
"Y-yes…I'm sure…"
Hatsune tells Izuku that she just finished making a pair of experimental devices, and wants to have Izuku test them out, saying that the devices, while not yet tested, is intended to give him an extra boost in speed to compliment his Quirk, and promised that, if the devices are successful, he would have them so that if ever Shigaraki shows up again, Izuku will be ready for him.
"Really, Hatsune-senpai…?"
"Yup."
"Um…"
"Don't worry…they're free of charge."
"Eh? You sure…?"
"Of course…"
"…"
"Oh, don't be shy…"
Izuku blushed deeper as Hatsune continued to flirt with him as she AFFECTIONATELY embraced the Class 1-A student more, all the while he tried to avoid glancing at her cleavage, as he felt her breasts pressing further into his upper chest.
Meanwhile, Uraraka stared at the scene, feeling uneasy as she was getting jealous at what Hatsune is doing to Izuku, and she felt like wanting to intervene and out a stop to this, but then Yugo Aoyama showed up and whispered to Uraraka as he asked her if she is getting jealous at what Hatsune is doing to Izuku, causing her to go mute at Aoyama's rather accusing tone of questioning.
"Uraraka..."
"Y-yes...?"
""If I were Izuku Midoriya...what would I do to get out of this predicament without offending Hatsune-senpai?"...that's what you're thinking, right?"
"..."
"Izuku Midoriya..."
"..."
"You're in love with him...aren't you...?"
"EEEEHHH?"
The girls of Class 1-A and 1-B stared at the scene, sweat-dropping as they can tell that Uraraka us really flustered and knew she was too shy to answer or rebut Aoyama's questions, and yet they feel sorry for her as they noted that she cannot hide her feelings for Izuku forever, and they wondered if they should encourage her or not.
"Ochako Uraraka…"
"Of Class 1-A…"
"Code name: Uravity…"
"I feel sorry for her…"
"Really?"
"She ought to tell Midoriya her feelings…"
"I agree…she can't hide it forever…"
"Suppose that boy were the first to find out…"
"I doubt it."
"He's too dense to figure it out…"
To Be Continued...
