Work Text:
It had been a rough month, to say the least. While bashing in assassin's skulls, Izuku longed for Minoru's sweet touch. The way that he talked, his mannerism of flailing his arms around during hero training, and most of all: his balls. Oh, those voluptuous purple orbs on top of his head; the perfect forbidden treat. Izuku had only seen them flail around, but what he truly wanted was to be able to touch them, envelop them, show them that maybe sticking to something wasn't all that bad. But no, now was not the time to be pining over his best friend. There were villains to take down, and with All for One on the run, Izuku wouldn't rest until he was sure that Minoru could be safe.
Minoru was smarter than people gave him credit for. He knew that his pining was most definitely one sided, and Izuku ditching him? That just confirmed it. There was no way that Midoriya Izuku, the hottest, kindest, smartest, buffest, and most handsome guy in class would ever like him back... right? There had been a few quiet moments before the war broke out when Minoru had considered confessing, but none of them felt right. Now, there was never going to be a right time. So when all of his classmates rallied together and marched to Nedzu's office, he knew. This was the only time that Minoru would get, so he'd have to make the most of it.
When Minoru had come out to his previous best friend as bisexual, Kaminari had only gagged. "Dude," he'd said, "doesn't that mean that like, you get horny when people leave?"
Minoru wondered how such an idiot ended up in Class 1-A.
After that incident, they no longer hung out. Turns out, Kaminari was a raging homophobe and in no way attracted to men and only saw women as objects to be used. Who would've guessed.
Nedzu couldn't do anything to stop them, so now all of 1-A was planning how to take down their raging classmate.
"I have some different capturing devices we could use," Yaoyorozu proposed. Contrary to popular belief, Minoru did not like big boobs. "He might be able to break out of them though... Sero, have you tried using your tape to bind him before?"
"Yeah, but that was a while ago. Maybe Ashido could melt his whip thingys with her acid?" Sero was of no use, as usual. He really was a background character.
"Hmmmmmm... nope!" Ashido grinned, contributing nothing. "I just like, spurt it out yknow? His whips are wayyyyyy to strong for my nae naes." Fair point, but the wording? Minoru internally cringed at it.
After that, the group went silent. None of the imbeciles had any decent ideas, as per usual.
"I have perfectly good balls." Minoru raised his hand as he spoke, showing bravery never known before to man. The girls all gagged, but Minoru simply scoffed and elaborated. "He can escape them, I've tested it before. Also," he turned to the females, who looked ready to drop kick him, "I'll have you know that I do not objectify you. I simply make comments based on what you show. This is absolutely normal and in no way creepy. And I have something else to say!" He raised his voice, drawing everyone's full attention. "I am bisexual!"
"Gross." Everyone said in unison. Damn, the internet had told Minoru about how severe biphobia could be, but this far? It hurt.
"I don't care about you guy's opinion! I'm going to save my one true love- I mean Izuku! And you can't stop me!" No one bothered to follow him as he stomped out. Later, Iida approached him and explained the consensus that the rest of the class had come to. It was a dumb plan that was destined for failure, but hey! What did Minoru have to lose?
Izuku was exhausted. Saving person after person, only to be scorned and get called a villain or a nomu. It hurt. He longed for Minoru, with his quirky comebacks and always finding a way to raise the mood. It hurt to be separated for so long.
Taking down yet another way too easy assassin, Izuku looked up to find all of 1-A converging on him. Kacchan was standing back, not really helping. Yaoyorozu managed to trap him in a sort of straight jacket chair, but that didn't do anything as Izuku was able to just tear his way out. They were getting in his way, and it was pissing him off. That is, until he heard one voice scream above the others. Minoru, in his hero costume, was standing in the back, tears rushing down his face. Izuku couldn't help but crumple to the ground at the sight, his beloved in pain. Kacchan took advantage of his weakness to pin him down, murmuring something that may have been an apology. Izuku didn't care. All he cared about was the fact that Minoru was here, safe, and that he was in pain. Rage overtook Izuku, and he used Fa Jin to explode his way out of Kacchan's grasp.
"Minoru!" It had been too long. The name felt bitter on his tongue from under usage, but he didn't care. All that mattered was the tiny boy in front of him.
Minoru ran forwards to meet him. "Izuku!" He exclaimed, arms open and ready to embrace Izuku. "I need to tell you something-"
But he was cut off by Kaminari gagging him. "Shut up, whore. I know that you're bisexual, so why don't you just go bye-bye now?"
Izuku gasped. Minoru was bisexual? That means he had a chance! "Minrou! I'm bi too!"
A round of biphobic gasps spread through the crowd of heroes, all of them too old fashioned to understand that this was normal and not gross.
Breaking out of Kaminari's grasp, Minoru let his feelings out. "Izuku! I love you! I always have!" Izuku's eyes started to water. This couldn't be real. "Ever since the USJ, I've fallen for you! I want for us to move forwards, together, even if we can't! You need to fight these villains, and I'm just a coward, but... you've changed me, Izuku!"
"Why does this sound like a goodbye?" Izuku couldn't feel another single tear rolling down his face. They had stopped while Minoru was talking.
"Because it is. I love you." Minoru smiled, that near trademarked smirk that Izuku had fallen in love with.
"Don't do this Minoru." Despite all the things he was feeling, Izuku's voice came out cold, apathetic, and monotone.
"Goodbye, Izuku."
And with that, all hell broke loose. Minoru let out a wave of Grape Rush more intense than he even had before, all aimed directly at his love. Izuku had no emotional time to dodge, and got stuck. Yaoyorozu then used some kind of gas to knock him out, and that was that.
It turned out that Izuku's heart was collapsing due to so much strain and stress. As they prepared for surgery, Class 1-A gave Minoru one ounce of kindness and let him see Izuku. The two said nothing at first, just hugged. Then, Minoru spoke. "Don't worry about the surgery, I know you're going to be great." For some reason, Minoru was sobbing on top of a smile. Izuku couldn't say anything, just sat there.
Minoru was led out, and Izuku was put under again.
The surgery finished, and everything was fine. That is, until Izuku asked one question:
"Where is Minoru?"
The doctor, being none the wiser, answered truthfully. "Oh, that purple pipsqueak? His heart was the one used to replace yours. This group of girls came in with his dead body and paperwork, so I just used it. Anyways, -" Izuku sobbed. The one person who truly understood him, dead? And at the hands of his own classmates at that? It was too much.
Years later, after All for One had been killed and peace had been restored, Izuku changed his hero costume. Now, there was a window over his chest, but not his neck or shoulders, that showed a two part tattoo and a scar from his heart surgery. The titty window made him a lot more popular, but Izuku didn't care. Everyday he mourned for Minoru, and cursed the girl's existence.
When Izuku died, he went to heaven. His car was there too, but that didn't matter. It turned out that Minoru had been sent to a form of Super Hell, for reasons that Izuku would never be able to understand.
As Izuku sat in heaven, heavenly things happening around him, he only thought one thing: I never got to show him the tattoos.
The tattoos were simple, both just black text.
The first one said "Y yo a ti", and the second one?
