No one's POV

"I don't know what to do, Denki! He doesn't approve of students being in romantic relationships, let alone him being in one!"

You ranted to your best friend, Denki Kaminari, about your crush, Tenya Iida. Ever since Kaminari had found out about your crush, he had insisted you come to him for advice.

"Listen, all you have to do is flirt with him! He'll be swept off his feet!" the blonde reassured you.

"I don't know..."

"Trust me! It worked for Jirou." he said.

"But that was just you being you! Maybe if I be myself?"

"You can be yourself while also dropping a few pick up lines. It's a fail proof plan!" he proposed.

"Ok..."

~•~❤️~•~

"Hey, Iida!" you called out, trying to look much more confident than you felt. Denki was lurking just around the corner, silently egging you on.

"Yes, L/N? How may I help you?" the class rep asked politely, turning around to face you.

"I was just wondering if you had a fire quirk... 'Cause you're hot."

Cringe.

So, so, so cringe.

How the crap did I let Denki convince me to say that!?

"No, I have a speed quirk. Did you forget?" He asked, looking extremely confused.

You could almost hear Denki facepalming from somewhere behind you.

"Uh... Yeah... I must be confusing you with Todoroki..." you muttered, blushing.

You promptly turned around a walked off in the opposite direction.

Well that was a disaster.

~•~❤️~•~

"... And then she asked me if I have a fire quirk because I'm hot. It was an odd encounter indeed."

You almost dropped your food tray as you heard Iida tell his best friends, Uraraka and Deku, about what had happened earlier.

You just about died of shame and didn't stay long enough to hear their reactions as you practically ran to take your seat at the Bakusquad table.

"What happened to you?" asked Mina as soon as she saw you.

"What do m-mean?" you asked nervously

"Your face."

"Hey! That's not very nice! I know I'm ugly, but-" you started

"I meant, why is it red?" Mina corrected herself.

"Oh... Uh... W-well.." you stuttered. "I just did something embarrassing..."

Mina leaned forward, food completely forgotten.

"Ima need details."

You sighed, resigned to get this over with.

"I, stupidly, went to Denki for dating advice and it completely backfired."

"Denki!? Out of all of your friends, you went to DENKI for dating advice!?"

You winced.

"I know it was stupid, but I was desperate!" you said.

"Who were you trying to ask out?" spoke up Jiro.

You promptly turned tomato red.

"Well?" grinned Mina.

"It's..." you paused dramatically "... Your mom."

Mina threw her hands up exasperatedly while Sero, Denki and Kiri chuckled.

"Actually, it's Iida."

You smacked Denki on the back of the head, but it was too late- the damage had been done.

"Ooooh, Iida you say? I didn't know you were into tall guys, Y/N!" giggled Mina

"It's not because of his hight! And Denki was lying, it's not Iida." you said.

"You just contradicted youse-"

"Shut up, Kiri." you said, smacking him in the back of the head too.

"Ow! That was so unmanly of you..." he grumbled.

"What did you say to Iida earlier?" asked Sero.

"You don't want to know." you cringed at the memory.

"Yes we do." said Mina eagerly.

"It was a stupid pick up line, ok! I don't know how Denki convinced me to say it." you glared at the said blonde, who merely grinned.

"That explains it. Iida couldn't recognize love if it was dancing naked in front of his face." Mina rolled her eyes.

You sighed, knowing she was right, and soon the topic changed and lunch break ended not long after.

~•~❤️~•~

You walked into the classroom as the bell rang. Your conversation about how many cats Aizawa probably had with Denki was cut short as your tired looking teacher walked into the classroom.

"Do whatever you want, as long as it's legal." he said, zipping himself up in his yellow sleeping bag.

The students all stood up and walked over to their friends to chat.

"So, when are you going to tell him?" asked Mina, straightforward as always, sitting on the desk in front of you.

"When we're both 79 and he forgets about what I said to him. Who knows, maybe we'll even end up in the same nursing home." you said, propping your head up on your hand.

"For real. YOLO, Y/N! I say shoot your shot and if he rejects you than screw him!" she said pumping a fist in the air.

"I guess you're right. I'll tell him after school." you decided.

"That's my girl!"

~•~❤️~•~

"Okay, before class is dismissed, does anyone have any questions?" asked Aizawa sleepily a few minutes before the end of class.

"About what, we didn't even learn anything!" muttered Kirishima, but you and Yaoyorozu both had your hands in the air.

"L/N?"

"How many cats do you have, sir?"

"How is that relevant?" he drawled.

You shrugged. "I'm just curious."

"I have four cats." he answered in a bored voice.

"Told you he had more than two!" you called across the room to Denki.

"You said he had eight!" he called back.

"Yaoyorozu?" you were cut off by Mr. Aizawa.

"Sir, I was just wondering- where is Midoriya?" asked Momo.

Now that she said it, you did indeed notice the absence of the resident cinnamon roll.

"He had to go to Recovery Girl after lunch because he chocked on his food." explained your teacher "If that is all, class dismissed."

~•~❤️~•~

"Hey, Iida! Can I... uh, talk to you outside?" you asked as your classmates all packed their bags and filed out of the classroom, chatting amongst themselves.

"Of course, Y/N. May I know why?" answered Iida.

"It's about.. uh, well, what I said to you earlier..." you explained, distracted by the sight of Mina winking to you as she walked out of the room.

"Oh, I see. I'll meet you outside." he said.

You nodded and left, walking outside to anxiously wait for the blue haired boy to meet you.

You thought about what you would say to him. You knew what Denki would want you to say- probably something like:

'Are you a villain, cause I want to take you out!'

Or

'Iida, you really are a TENya.'

You smiled slightly as you imagined his reaction:

I assure you, L/N, I am not a villain and am not aiming to become one, so I will please ask you to refrain from attacking me outside of the school training grounds.

He would say, chopping his arm in the air.

Suddenly, you noticed Iida walking down the front steps towards you and you realized you hadn't planned what you were going to say at all. You had spent the whole time thinking of cringey pick up lines.

Oh well, just roll with it I guess.

"What did you want to tell me about what you said earlier." asked Iida.

"Let's just forget about what happened earlier." you said, waving a hand in the air, dismissing the matter "I went to Denki for advice on how to... ask you out and clearly that was a mistake."

You blushed "That being said, I really do like you, Iida, and hope we can be more than friends, but I completely understand if you don't like me back or would prefer to just focus on hero training."

Iida's cheeks turned a light pink as he thought out his response carefully.

"Well, I think that at the time being hero training should come first." he started. You looked down, disappointed, but he hadn't finished. "But I admire you as well and think that sometime in the future, maybe we can... Be together?"

You smiled "I respect that and will gladly wait as long as it takes if it means that I might be able to call you mine... sometime in the future."

His blush deepened a little as you enveloped him in a quick hug and he patted your back akwardly.

"See you tomorrow, future boyfriend!" you waved to him, as you adjusted your bag on your shoulders and went your separate ways.

"Please do not call me that."

~•~❤️~•~

A/n

That ending was kinda weird but it I wanted Iida to reject you, while not rejecting you if that makes sense. Anyway, hope you enjoyed some oneshot romance with our resident rule freak!
