How you accidentally made Dante look like a hero again
Pairing: Dante x fem!reader
Word Count: 1,6k
Synopsis: All you wanted was to outsmart Dante and prove he was setting you up for demon attacks in order to get closer to you. Instead, you ended up buried under library rubble, fighting off scorpion demons, and getting saved by him — again. This is why you have trust issues.
Warnings: swearing, kinda enemies to lovers dynamic, I just love Dante y'all need to have mercy with me lol
You’re starting to think you’re cursed.
That’s the only explanation for it. How else do you keep ending up in demon-infested alleys, haunted casinos, and - once - dangling upside down from a stolen motorcycle, twice in the same week? No average person deserves so much distress.
But even worse: every time - every damn time - there’s Dante.
Bursting in like he’s auditioning for an action movie. Guns blazing, coat flaring behind him, a cocky smirk plastered across his stupidly handsome face.
God, how much you hate that guy.
…do you?
"Oh no," you mutter under your breath when you spot him swaggering through the chaos yet again.
"Not this asshole."
"Miss me, babe?" he calls, spinning his sword once before cleaving a demon in half like it's no big deal.
You barely dodge a flying claw, pretty used to almost dying by now.
"Dante, why are there hellhounds in the laundromat?! I just came here to do my laundry!"
He winks at you like this is all part of some grand romantic plan.
"You know. Crazy city. You never know what’s gonna happen. Nice panties by the way, wish I could see them up close."
You stare at him, sceptical to say the least, as he shoots a demon that was two inches away from biting your head off.
"This is the fourth time this month. And every time you're 'coincidentally' nearby!"
He strolls over, casually beheading something with his sword like he's just stretching his legs. How many times have you seen this already? Probably like a hundred times.
This month.
"Fate works in mysterious ways, sweetheart."
You gawk at him. No, the thing he calls fate can’t be an accident. There is literally no way in hell that you get attacked even more often than himself. There has to be another reason. Could it be that…?
"Are you setting this up?!"
He gives you a look, all fake innocence and devilish grin.
That bastard.
"Who, me? Nahhh. Demons just have a thing for damsels. Lucky for you... I'm a professional knight in shining armor."
A piece of ceiling collapses dangerously close to you. You flinch for once. Dante doesn’t even blink, just throws an arm around your waist and throws you out of the way with way too much enthusiasm.
You land on your back with a grunt, staring up at the cracked ceiling and wondering what life choices led you here. Where did you take a wrong turn to deserve this? Being liked by a hot guy is all fun and games until the name of that jerk is Dante Sparda, apparently.
Dante leans over you, upside-down, grinning like a maniac.
"You good? Need mouth-to-mouth?" he offers helpfully.
You shove him off you, the heat of his body almost devouring you whole.
"I’m getting a restraining order."
"You say that, but then who’s gonna save you next time you almost get eaten by a possessed vending machine?"
You open your mouth to argue - and realize you have no idea how to deal with possessed vending machines. You groan, burying your face in your hands.
“Maybe you’re the one who possesses everything around me…”
Dante pats your head fondly like you’re some kind of beloved but very dumb kitten.
"You mean like your thoughts? Most definitely, yeah. But don't worry, babe," he coos cheerfully, "I'll always be there to save your pretty little ass."
You’re pretty sure that’s supposed to be comforting. Instead, you start mentally drafting your will.
“Get off me now, I need to get going jerk. And stop staring at my panties”, you hiss through gritted teeth while getting up, packing your things and leaving.
No, this isn’t an accident, not your fault by any means. Dante is the one who sets all of this shit up.
“That fucker…”, you mutter to yourself, slamming the door shut in fury.
You can’t do this anymore, can’t take seeing a demon each time you leave your house. You’ll have to teach him a lesson.
Yes, there has to be a way to stop this madness once and for all.
“I’ll catch you mid-act, Dante…”
You hatch a plan.
A pretty simple one: bait Dante into showing up, catch him red-handed, and finally prove he's arranging all this chaos.
You pick the most boring, demon-unfriendly place you can think of: the public library. No shady alleys, no creepy neon signs, no way in hell anything supernatural is hanging out between the tax law section and the dusty romance novels.
You text him a fake tip, something about "possible demonic activity" near the library, totally urgent, definitely needs his professional attention.
Then you sit back, tuck yourself into a corner with a stack of books, and wait.
Ten minutes pass. Twenty. Thirty.
No Dante.
You start to relax. Maybe he finally got the hint. Maybe he's actually busy for once. Did your words from yesterday finally stir something inside of his brain?
And that's when the ceiling caves in.
You shriek as a massive scorpion demon crashes through the roof, scattering books and terrified civilians everywhere. Librarians are running for their lives. An entire row of encyclopedias explodes in a puff of dusty chaos, taking your sight while you desperately try to crawl out of the scene.
Fuck, this wasn’t supposed to happen. That definitely wasn’t written on your bingo card for today.
"What the hell?!" you shout, diving behind a bookshelf just in time before a whole fucking shelf bumps onto the ground next to you.
"HEY BABY!" a too-familiar voice yells from somewhere in the smoke.
You peek out and see Dante standing atop the checkout desk, dual pistols in hand, grinning like this is the best day of his life.
"Miss me?"
You stare at him, speechless. No, this has to be a dream. This was supposed to be a trap, you set him off in order to finally find him guilty. And now this?
"HOW?!"
He jumps off the desk, unloading a round of bullets into the demon's face like it’s a casual Tuesday.
"You sent me the text! Good instincts, by the way - I was gonna ignore it, but then I figured, ‘Hey, if my girl’s around, probably gonna be some action.’ And look! Action!"
You dodge a flying claw and seriously consider strangling him with a library card cord.
"I SENT YOU A FAKE TEXT!" you shout over the sound of gunfire.
"THERE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE A REAL DEMON!"
"Aw," Dante replies, kicking a demon minion into a copy machine, "you’re so modest. You’re like a magnet for this stuff."
You have no time to argue. The giant scorpion is bearing down on you. You grab the nearest weapon, a hardcover dictionary about curse words in Spanish, and hurl it at its head. It bounces off harmlessly. Yeah, what a surprise, actually.
Dante whistles low, impressed.
"Good arm, babe. But here - lemme show you how it's done."
Before you can blink, he’s in front of you, sword flashing, doing some ridiculously show-offy spin move that absolutely wasn’t necessary but looks cool as hell anyway.
The demon collapses with a final screech.
Silence falls over the destroyed library.
Books smolder, paper flutters in the air like sad confetti. Somewhere, a printer makes a pathetic beep before dying.
You sit down heavily on the floor, dazed.
Dante strolls over, all proud, offering you a hand up.
"No need to thank me. It’s kinda my thing."
You stare at him, mind still processing what just happened. Your mission failed – miserably, so say the least.
"I literally TRIED to set you up."
"And look how well it worked!" he declares brightly.
"You lured out the bad guys! You're a natural at this demon-hunting stuff. I'm so proud."
You want to punch him. You want to kiss him. You want to punch him then kiss him.
Instead, you let him pull you to your feet, dusting off your scorched jacket.
"I'm never texting you again," you grumble.
"Sure you will," Dante coos, flashing that stupid, charming grin.
"You can't resist me."
You open your mouth to argue - and immediately get tackled to the ground as a second, smaller demon leaps from the wreckage.
You land with a painful thud, pinned beneath Dante’s weight as he shoots over your head, finishing off the last monster.
When the danger’s over, he stays there for an awkward beat too long, smirking down at you.
"See? Told ya. Always there to catch ya when you fall."
You groan, covering your face with your hands while absolutely hating how good his body weight feels on top of you, how surprisingly good that asshole of a man smells.
"I'm going to die of second-hand embarrassment."
"Nah," Dante retorts confidently, getting up and pulling you with him again.
"If anyone’s gonna kill you, it’s gonna be something way cooler. Like a demon. Or a possessed espresso machine."
You squint at him.
"You’re not gonna let this go, are you?"
He slings an arm around your shoulders like he owns the place, like the ablaze library isn’t his fault at all, and leads you toward the exit.
"Nope. You're stuck with me, sweetheart."
You sigh.
Maybe getting a new phone and a new name wouldn’t be the worst idea.
…Or just giving in.
Bakugo doesn’t notice it at first. Not until one morning, when he walks into class and sees you sitting at your desk, head resting on your arms. You look tired. More than usual. Dark circles under your eyes, the slight puffiness, like you had been crying.
Something twists in his chest. He likes it.
He doesn’t know why, but the sight of you like this, vulnerable, affected, satisfies something deep inside him. It means you still care. That even if you’ve been ignoring him, even if you’ve been acting like you’re fine, you aren’t.
And that means… you haven’t moved on.
The thought settles in his mind, dark and selfish. He should feel guilty. Should feel bad that you’re clearly hurting.
But instead, he feels something close to relief.
Because it means you still think about him. That even after everything, he is still the one lingering in your mind. Not anyone else.
Him.
And for now, that’s enough.
But then—
"Are you okay?"
Midoriya’s voice breaks through his thoughts.
And just like that, the relief turns to rage.
Bakugo watches, eyes narrowing, as Midoriya crouches beside your desk. His brows are furrowed in concern, his voice soft, too soft. And you? You look up at him, forcing a small smile. "Yeah, just didn’t sleep well."
Liar.
Midoriya doesn’t believe it either. He pulls something out of his bag, his notebook. "Here, I copied the notes from yesterday. You missed a lot."
You blink, surprised. Then, a genuine smile blooms across your face.
And Bakugo hates that.
Hates the way Midoriya makes you smile. Hates the way he’s looking at you, like you’re precious. Hates that you’re letting him.
It doesn’t stop there.
At lunch, you sit with Midoriya and the others instead of the usual squad. Bakugo doesn’t care. He doesn’t. Except he can hear you laughing. Can see the way Midoriya nudges your tray closer when you barely touch your food. Can see how you lean into him when he whispers something to you.
And worst of all, he sees the way Midoriya looks at you.
It’s the same way you used to look at him.
The rumors start soon after.
"Did you hear? Midoriya might like her" "I mean, have you seen them lately? They’re always together." "Honestly… kinda cute, don’t you think?"
The words slip through the classroom like a slow-moving poison.
Bakugo isn’t even trying to listen, but the whispers reach him anyway, each one pressing into his skull like a dull, persistent ache.
His fingers twitch. Then curl. Then clench into fists so tight, his nails bite into his palms.
Why does it bother him?
Why does his jaw tighten every time he sees you together?
Why does it feel like a punch to the gut when you walk into class and don’t even look at him?
Why does it piss him off so much when he catches Midoriya blushing because of you?
—
The breaking point comes on a normal day.
Bakugo’s already irritated, he doesn’t even know why anymore. Everything just pisses him off. The way Kirishima laughs. The way Denki’s chewing too loud. The way you are standing so damn close to Midoriya near the lockers.
Then, Midoriya reaches out, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear.
It’s a small gesture. Barely anything. But it makes something in Bakugo snap.
Before he even realizes it, he’s grabbing your wrist, yanking you away.
"We need to talk."
You stumble but quickly regain your footing, yanking your hand out of his grip. "What the hell is your problem?"
"What the hell is yours?" Bakugo snaps back. His eyes are burning. "You and Deku. Why the hell are you always with him?"
You scoff, crossing your arms. "I don’t see how that’s any of your business."
"You—" He grits his teeth. "You don’t even wait for me after training anymore. You don’t—"
And that’s when you laugh.
It’s bitter. Cold.
"Bakugo, are you serious?" Your voice is steady, but your eyes, there’s something sharp in them. "You knew I liked you, didn’t you?"
He freezes.
You tilt your head, studying him. "You knew. And you let me believe I had a chance."
The words hit him like a punch to the gut.
"Did you ever care?" you whisper.
Bakugo doesn’t answer.
Can’t.
Because the truth is sitting in his throat like a stone, too heavy to swallow.
You watch him, waiting. Just hoping a little that maybe, just maybe, he’ll say something that makes this all worth it.
But he doesn’t.
He just stands there, fists clenched, teeth grit, jaw locked too tight and, nothing.
And that’s when you know.
You exhale, something in your shoulders loosening. Not relief. More like… exhaustion. Like the last bit of hope you had has finally withered away.
"That’s what I thought."
You turn to leave, but for a second, just a second, you hesitate. Like you’re waiting. Like you’re giving him one last chance.
But Bakugo stays silent.
So you exhale, something in your shoulders loosening. Not relief. Just exhaustion. Then, you walk away.
Bakugo doesn’t stop you.
Doesn’t reach out. Doesn’t say a damn thing.
Just stands there, watching as you disappear down the hall, watching as you walk out of his reach.
And this time, you don’t look back.
This time, you won’t come back. Part 1
I really, really like the Devil May Cry stuff you're writing ^-^
And I was curious- if you're okay with it of course.
Romantic headcanons for Dante x fem!Reader where she spends the night for the first time at his place? Like they're already in a relationship, but his girl isn't ready for s*x
you had been in the best relationship of your life with Dante, it was goofy, silly, stupid but deep at the same time where you could comfortably admit to anything with Dante and he would respond in kind with comfort and reassurance.
so when he invited you over for the night, your mind went elswhere and had stayed there even as you stepped through the door, stiff and worried when night quickly approached faster then you liked.
was he going to expect sex in your first time staying over?
was it the priamary reason you were invited over? for sexy times?
if so would he be dissapointed if you were to admit that you weren't ready, if you were ever going to be ready for it, would he be ashamed? after all it seemed as though society deemed sex a pivitol part in keeping a relationship happy, demanding of it even if one was nowhere near ready for that vital step.
even if you may disagree with that mindset.
no this was your Dante you were talking about, the man who alsot tripped over his own two feet when asking you out, the very man who insits on sharing his sundaes with you whenever you were sad, cuddled up on his lap, embraced in his warmth.
the very same man who wore the silliest pyjama pants to bed all the time, ones covered in pizza slices, or ones covered in little cartoon strawberry icecreams with cute little faces that displayed a variety of emotions.
the very man who kisses your forhead whenever your worries got the best of you, claiming that his kisses could wash them away, and they did as did everything often did with Dante to be your comfort, your safe haven and friend as well as your handsome partner.
however the fear still remained, making you unable to relax at all, muscles tense asn your sense on high alert from any indication from Dante.
only to sense nothing as he smiles at you that sweet smile that shows off his sharp looking canines. Nothing out of the ordinary, not yet at least as you felt your tongue loosen the moment you step into his bedroom.
‘We’re not having sex are we?’
Dante’s brows are raised as a frown replaces his smile from moments prior and your mind became worse then it was before, filling your head with poison and venom that you almost didn’t hear him or feel him in your state of numbness.
Not until you felt his warm hands grace your shoulders, grounding you as you managed to urge your eyes to look into his own, seeing the concern within them as his calloused thumbs caressed. ‘What ever gave you that impression sweetheart?’ He asks softly as he guides you to sit at the edge of his bed as he knelt in front of you.
‘Isn’t that how it always leads to? Sex.’ You replied as you toyed with your hands, eyes once again averting his gaze as you found interest in picking at your fingers almost in a violent manner. ‘Something I am in no way ready for and am scared that will run you away because of it.’ You added.
Dante was quick to put a stop to your violent finger picking/scratching by intertwining his fingers with yours, kissing them as he tucks your hands close to his chest. ‘Not always, and that’s not why I brought you here because I realise that I can’t sleep at all without you,’ he laughs to himself, ‘kinda like how a kid can’t sleep without a stuffed toy for comfort, you are that comfort to me and I want you nowhere else but by my side.’ He continues as he reads the emotions upon your face, seeing that you were starting to relax and let your guard down to rest.
‘Really? Nothing else.’ You said barely above a whisper.
‘It’s the furthest thing from my mind sweetheart.’ Dante reassures. ‘We won’t do anything like that unless you’re ready and willing, to do so without taking in your own feelings is just a dick move. A relationship is between two people who love each other, some have a sex while others might not, it’s still a relationship regardless sweetness.’ He kisses your finger interlocked with his, smiling.
‘So if we never have sex, that’s fine by me becuase I’m not going anywhere without you, you’re my person and I’d rather keep what we have then ever throw it away over something stupid as sex.’ He then moves from kneeling to sit next to you, letting go of your hands for a moment before reconnecting them, and letting you rest your head upon his shoulder as he gingerly placed his atop of yours, though not before kissing it.
‘We’re just going to share a bed and cuddle and fall asleep together and wake up together too just to be lazy about wanting to leave bed.’ He whispers and you couldn’t help but laugh at how true that might be, before feeling a little silly in being overly cautious about the reasoning for Dante wanting you here
yet you were also glad that he had cleared any and all misconceptions within you as now all you wanted to do was cuddle up to him, sleep and be very begrudging in getting up the next day, just like he promised.
Dante x fem reader
Author notes: yes I’m back again… anyways this is about Dante being mad about how his healing ability prevents him from being marked by you. I also put my hc of him wearing you scrunchie in this. No actual smut but it’s implied, aftercare, jealous Dante, also wholesome Dante <333
You let out a “umph” once you feel a heavy weight fall on top of you. You look down to see your white haired boyfriend breathing relatively normally especially after just pounding into you for most of the night.
Leave it to Dante to be all over you the second he’s back from a mission. Not that you mind it at all, you actually love it. But you don’t have the endurance he does because you’re not half demon.
You’re trying to catch your breath after the many highs he just gave you but it’s quite hard with him lying on top of you.
You try to push him off of you, “Danteee.”
Dante grunts, “What, want another round?”
You roll your eyes at his response. “I think you will break me if we go for another round. I need you to get off of me, you’re really heavy.”
“Oh shit my bad.” Dante pushes himself off of you and hovers over you then looks you up and down, “Hey beautiful.”
You giggle at his antics and reach your hands up to run them through his hair, “Hi handsome.”
“Wanna wash up or cuddle for a bit longer?”
“Wash up, I feel gross. But, you’re going to have to carry me. I can’t feel my legs…again.”
“I love it when you say that,” he smirks while going to stand up. You roll your eyes again and he lets out a deep laugh.
Dante leans down and whispers, “Wrap your arms around my neck.” You do as he says and he goes to grab the back of your thighs. He hoists you up and wraps your legs around his waist.
While he carries you to the bathroom you lean your head on his firm chest. You love being close to Dante no matter the context. His warmth is something you’ll never get over.
Once you’re in the bathroom he sets you down on the sink and goes to start the shower. He sets everything out so each task will have a smooth transition.
It warms your heart to see because he puts so much effort into this. Before you started dating him, he just went through the days not really caring. But now he seems to enjoy every day.
Dante catches you staring and asks, “Whatcha thinking about?”
“You,” you say firmly but giving him a light smile.
Dante freezes for a second then walks over to you and cages you between his arms, “Oh? I like the sound of that.”
You lean your forehead on his shoulder, “I bet you do. Is the shower ready? I’m getting sleepy.”
“Yeah it is. Up again you go princess.”
He carries you to the shower and gets in. He slowly sets you down being extra careful. Once you’re on your feet your legs feel like jelly. He really did good work tonight.
But that doesn’t help you from almost slipping. You hold tightly onto Dante trying to stay upright. He is quick to wrap his arm around your waist and hold you against him.
He leans down and whispers deeply in your ear, “I got you.”
Your heart races and stomach fills with butterflies after the comment. He can really just make your legs weak with a comment too.
You two stand like that for a minute until you feel confident enough to stand on your own. Once you do you push yourself away from Dante and grab his shampoo.
You put some on your hand then go to wash his hair. As you scrub his shampoo into his hair he lets out a deep groan. You smile to yourself happy he feels relaxes and calm.
You tell him to wash it out while you grab a wash cloth and put his body wash on it. Once he’s done rinsing his hair you scrub down his body. You do this multiple times. Not just to get off the remanence from your night together but to get off all the stuff that came back with him from his mission.
Once you’re finished washing him it’s your turn. He starts with your hair doing your shampoo and conditioner. Then moves on to washing your body.
This takes longer because he loves touching every inch of you. He starts by your collarbone and you wince a little. He didn’t react so he must haven’t heard it.
He moves down to your hips where he brushes over your right side and you wince louder and bend over a little bit.
Dante panics, “Shit! Are you okay!?”
“Yeah, that just hurt a bit. It did too when you were by my collarbones too.”
Dante steps back and looks at your collarbones and hips. He seems hickeys all over your neck and collarbones then bruises on your hips.
He laughs sheepishly. “I think I might have went a little overboard with the marking tonight…” he runs a hand through his wet hair.
“It’s fine, I like it when you leave marks. Just be gentle when you wash those areas.”
Dante nods the tenderly washes your body. He’s super focused to make sure he doesn’t hurt you again. He even has his tongue sticking out, cute.
Once he’s done you rinse off and get out of the shower. You two dry off but Dante finishes super quick. He walks over to the mirror and looks at himself. He looks at his back and neck.
You chalk it up to him just wanting to look at his muscles. You walk out of the bathroom and go to your closet to grab your pajamas. You end up just grabbing one of Dante’s shirts.
Once you’re done putting it on you look at the mirror in your closet and see your neck and collarbones. They are littered with hickeys from Dante. It makes a warmth go to your core thinking about how he marks you.
Through the mirror you see Dante walk into the closet. He gives you a kiss on the top of your head then goes to grab a pair of boxers to sleep in.
You walk out of the closet and go lay on your shared bed. You wait for Dante for a couple of minutes but he hasn’t come to bed yet. What could be doing?
You throw off the covers and walk back into the closet where you see Dante looking at his back again. You walk up behind him and place a hand on his arm.
“Dante does your back hurt? Did you get hurt on your mission?” You question.
Dante spins around and sees you looking concerned. “Oh no I’m fine.”
You stare at him confused, “Then why do you keep looking at your back?”
He mumbles something you can’t make out. You ask him to repeat himself because you couldn’t hear him.
“I hate my healing abilities.” He says without missing a beat. Dante looks you dead in the eye, “Your marks just heal. So I can’t walk around with them.”
You stand in silence for a second then reach for his hand. You drag him out of your shared closet and lead him to your shared bed.
You push him to sit on the end of the bed. He plops down following whatever you want him to do. You raise his chin exposing his neck to you.
You go right for his pulse point and pull his skin between your teeth. You lightly bite his skin then suck. Dante’s hands dart for your waist and holds them tight.
He groans once he feels you starting to suck even harder, “Sweetheart, I thought you said you couldn’t go for another round.” You ignore his comment focusing on what you’re doing.
You stop sucking his skin and run your tongue over the area. You lean back and look at what you just did. You see the hickey on his pulse point but after about 10 seconds it goes away.
You frown realizing that what Dante said is true. You can’t mark him like he can mark you. It makes you a bit sad but you could never hate his healing ability.
You run your thumb over his pulse point then grab his chin again. You make him face you so he can hear what you have to say.
“You were right. You just heal right away. I do feel bad that I can’t mark you like you can mark me. I like the feeling of being marked by you and walking around for people to see. I never knew it bothered you that you couldn’t so I’m sorry for not noticing.”
You see Dante open his mouth to refute but you place a finger on lips to tell him to keep listening.
“But I could never hate your healing ability because it was keeps you coming home. You fight powerful and scary demons that hurt you. If you didn’t have that ability you would have had so many broken bones and have bled out many times. Which means we wouldn’t have been able to get together.”
You run your hands through his hair again to ground yourself, “My biggest fear is you not coming home. That you died on a mission and I’ll never get to see you again. That I’ll never get to hear your laugh, see your smile, eat pizza and ice cream with you, have you make love to me, or even just have you in my arms. I am so happy you have your healing ability because it keeps you here with me. I love you Dante and I don’t want this to upset you anymore.”
You let out a little sigh after you finish and Dante just stares at you. His grip tightens on your waist and before you know it you’re falling. Your forehead then collides with his hard chest.
Dante lays a hand on the back of your head and just holds you close. You don’t dare to say anything because you don’t want to push him to say something. You’ll let him go at his own pace.
Dante calls your name lightly, “You know I’ll always come home to you right. No matter how strong and dangerous a fight may get, I’ll always fight my hardest so I can come back to you. I need to come back to you. I can’t give this up. Now that you put that perspective of my healing ability in my mind, I won’t ever complain about it again.”
He lets out a deep sigh, “It’s just I got a little jealous I can’t walk around with the marks you make. I know I would make it everyone business but I’m content with everything. The most important thing is that I have you at the end of the day. So I’m happy. I love you so much.”
You snuggle into Dante and hold him tightly, “I’m happy too. But how about we find a way to have me always with you?”
“What do you mean?”
“We find something that ‘marks’ you. So it reminds you of me and other people can tell it’s from me.”
Dante spins you around and hovers over you again. He looks like an excited puppy looking down at you. His eyes are shining with excitement, “Really!? Do you mean it!?”
“Yes handsome I mean it.”
“Okay so what will it be??”
You think for a second about what you can do to “mark” him. You look around the room and see something on your night stand. You shift under him and grab it.
You smile back up at him, “You wrist please.”
Dante balances himself on his left wrist and hold his right one out. You slide on your scrunchie onto his wrist. After you put it on Dante stares at it in amazement.
You speak up, “It’s the best idea I could come up with at the moment. We can always think of something bigger later.”
“No.”
You’re puzzled by his reaction not knowing what to say back.
“I like this. I don’t want something else.”
“Dante are you sure? If you give me some time I bet I could find something better.”
“Nothing will be better than this.” He thinks for a second, “Unless it’s naked photo of you.” He states.
You smack his shoulder and his lets out another deep laugh. “But seriously I’m happy with this. It reminds me of when my mom gave me my necklace. Now I have something I can wear from the two most important women in my life.”
You grab his face with both of your hands and drag him down to connect your lips with his. The kiss is passionate and slow. Your noses brush against each other and you two follow the flow of the kiss.
Needing air you break the kiss and look at him and state with such love and care, “I love you Dante.”
He quickly responds with, “I love you more.”
Hi! Can I have maybe a head canons or scenarios request for Dante (DMC 5 and Netflix version) with a fem s/o who's loyal towards him and very caring towards him.
As if the reader would do everything they can to make him happy and show how they love him or cared for him. What would both versions react about this?
I don't just write for Dante, yall can send in requests of Vergil, or V or Nero >3
Thank you for this, it's so cuuuute
DMC5 Dante absolutely loves it.
♡ His s/o is a morning person. Always up before him unless he hadn't went to sleep in the first place, or he makes her sleep in with him. She'll show her love to him with acts of kindness.
♡ Keeping the place clean is one of them. Dante knows not to dirty something reader has cleaned unless he wants to be the one to reclean it. One time, he had to mop the whole place from stepping in with mud.
♡ By the end of that day, the two of you were dancing to the music you had playing to help motivate him. The floor didn't get clean, but that was okay. A memory with Dante that's filled with smiles and laughter, shared kisses... that meant more.
♡ Definitely has a habit of showering him with kisses on the daily. Doesn't matter what he is doing - as long as their are safe - she'll walk up to him, cup his scruffy face in her hands and pepper kisses all over his face. Each time saying something so tooth rotting sweet.
"handsome," kiss "strong" kiss "you always do such a good job" kiss "I love you."
♡ Surprises him with strawberry sundaes. And most of you money goes to pizza - but that's fine. You're not the one in debt.
♡ What really gets him is when he's noticed how nothings went out yet. Electricity, his water, it's all still on even though he knows he hasn't paid it in months. Tries to ask Morrison about it, but all he gets is, "You have someone who cares, Dante."
♡ Shaving. He doesn't do it often, since how fast it grows back. But when he does shave - you're more than happy to do it for him. Settling upon his lap with the cutest expression of focus as she is careful with shaving him. When done, she can't help but to rub her check with his affectionately. Reminding him of a cat.
♡ You practically do everything for him, it's how you show your love. But don't get it wrong, Dante tries his best to show you that kind of love in return. Except, his comes in the way he practically worships you.
2025 Dante doesn't feel like he deserves it.
♡ His S/0 is someone he's known for a long time. Having started out as friends until he decided he would try. Just for her. He's scared to become attached to anyone, and this shows whenever he subconsciously pulls away from you.
♡ You're patient though. And with every action you do, you make sure to poor every ounce of care and love into it. Making him know he is truly loved.
♡ Not a hunter, but you're not defenseless. For from it. When his s/o has discovered what he does, she spent the whole night learning what she could from him. Every now and then, you'll try to sneak up on him, but he always knows it's you.
His hands automatically gripped beneath your thighs when you jumped on his back. Hands covering over his eyes as you tried to change your voice, failing. "I'm robbing you!"
The silliest grin appears on his face. "Oh, yeah? What're you taking then, pretty?"
You groan, before smiling. Removing your hands and leaning more over his shoulder. Hands cupping his face. You declare, "You're heart!" before kissing him.
♡ He appreciates your loyalty. He see's it in how you reject any other man who wished to be with you. In how you stay by his side no matter the dangers. even when he's having a difficult day and say's something he shouldn't have.
♡ You love him in the way you would start a warm bath or shower whenever he returns home a completely mess. In how you join him and wash the gunk from his hair. And he feels it when you hold him at night. Fingers running through his hair, lightly scratching at his scalp. In how you whisper, "I love you..." In such a soft, sweet whisper.
♡ Dante doesn't like caring. Always makes it a point not to. When in reality, he cares the most. And even though it is still difficult for him to voice or show this, he tries his damn hardest. Just for you.
EN kaeya animation again bc.. him……
currently thinking about dante sparda who’s a feminist, 6’3, built—and oh, did i mention feminist?
“say, dante, what’s your opinion on men’s rights ?”
“irrelevant.”
dante doesn’t miss the slight pause you make before continuing to stir your drink. he sits in the booth across from you, enzo munching on fries opposite him as he sneaks a sip of his sundae.
“yer joking !” enzo says between belches. “something wrong with ya kiddo ? what do you mean men’s rights are irrelevant ?!”
but dante isn’t listening. he’s more concerned about the gap between your lips & coffee cup, the way you tilt it slightly above your mouth so as to not stain the glass with your gloss. your lips tug into a pout when you find the rim stained in coke pink regardless. you pull out a napkin & wipe it with a frown. cute.
“well, as a six three, employed and financially stable male,” dante clears his throat, smug, “i can’t help but turn my focus to more important things. for example, the widening gap between men and women’s wages. and we can’t forget the rising prices of feminine hygiene products, of course.”
enzo wipes his mouth with the back of his sleeve. he doesn’t miss the way dante’s pupils seem to flit over to you every now and then. he clicks his tongue,
“kid, please, y’know she hasn’t even looked at ya, right?”
“she will.”
you continue to scroll through your phone.
but dante takes your silence as intrigue.
“anyways,” dante pauses as if searching for the words, “i just think it’s important to raise awareness—”
“yer raisin’ my freakin’ blood pressure.”
dante shoots him a glare. “i just think that, as a six foot four male, it’s my duty to raise awareness about the issues women face and the obvious gender bias in america’s modern day economy.”
“y’said six three before, kid—wait, what’s yer’ height gotta do with anything ?!”
as if on cue, your teaspoon clatters to the ground, and dante, ever the feminist, is quick to lean down to pick it up—rattling the table and spilling enzo’s fries in the process.
“hey! watch it—“
“your spoon, lady,”
you blink. dante’s taken his time to wipe the spoon clean & present it with a napkin. you hesitate a little before obliging with a murmur, “thanks..?”
“you’re welcome,” he says smoothly, relaxing into the booth seat. “no woman should ever have to bend over in a skirt. i mean—unless she wants to. then it’s her choice. her feminine power.”
“oh !”
enzo chokes on a fry. you stare at dante for a beat too long & he can’t tell if you’re confused or interested, but dante has an ego bigger than his head so he decides upon the latter.
“say, lady, don’t you agree that men should always pay on the first date ?”
you raise a brow. “the first ?”
dante waves his hands. “all, really. i only mention the first because i know some strong, independent women prefer to pay too. i respect that. i respect all women, really.”
“right. and is this your way of offering to pay for my food ?”
dante’s pupils shift to your table. only now does he realize you’ve ordered the most expensive french breakfast on the menu, as well as a drink too milky brown to cost the same as your average cappuccino. his wallet aches heavy in his pocket. “with pleasure ! lemme just get my wallet out…hope i didn’t leave it in the hellcat…”
“huh? wasn’t our uber a toyota?”
dante bares his teeth, ready to strangle enzo when you giggle—
“oh, gosh,” you sniffle, wiping tears, “that’s enough, you two are hilarious.”
clearing your throat, you raise your hand to reveal the diamond settled on your finger. “i’m sure you’re lovely and all, but i’m happily engaged.”
“that’s okay! i support women having multiple streams of happiness—ow !”
dante rubs at his shin as you continue. “that’s nice for you, but i’m fine with my fiancé.” you set some cash on the table and dust your skirt off, standing up to leave. “thank you for the laugh, though, gentlemen.”
you wave them goodbye and make your exit.
“God, i love women.”
“seek help,” enzo mutters, as he sneaks a sip from dante’s drink again.

Dante x fem reader
Author notes: Angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, friends with benefits to lovers, no smut but there is sexual innuendos, confessions in the rain, you guys argue.
I fall in love with him more and more everyday.
Today was a great day or so you thought. Dante brought you your favorite breakfast to bed and spent the whole morning cuddling you. You then went out with Lady and Trish to go shopping in the early afternoon. You saw a cute dog while walking back to Devil May Cry and the owner let you pet him then give him a treat. You then got ready for a night out with your little squad.
Now you’re at the same old bar your group always goes to but you have to watch many women ALL over Dante. If looks could kill they’d all be dead. Dante too on accident. Or is it an accident at this rate? You and Dante probably have the most complicated relationship.
You’ve know each other for a couple of years because he helped you move into your apartment. You ironically moved into the open apartment right next to Lady. They were coming up to her apartment when they saw you struggling to carry everything by yourself. Dante quickly rushed over to you and took the extra boxes in your hands and asked if you needed help.
Lady also pitched in and after a couple of hours, you three got everything into your apartment. To thank them you ordered a pizza and gave them some beers. You all sat down eating and drinking while introducing yourselves. Before they left they each gave you their numbers to keep in touch since you didn’t know anyone in town.
After that night you three regularly met up to hang out in your apartment. Within a couple of weeks they introduced you to Trish and she ended up moving the get togethers to the bar. You don’t mind of course because sometimes cleaning up after the four of you got tedious.
Dante would always stay to help you clean up though. He would also check your apartment to “make sure everything looks good still.” You believed him at first then once you found of the groups profession, you now know he was making sure no demons were lurking anywhere.
But that is the reason why you and Dante got close fast. The little clean up sessions would end up being late night talks or motorcycle rides. You two would talk everyday whether that be over the phone or meeting up.
The relationship didn’t change much until a few months ago. You two were hanging out in Devil May Cry watching a movie and eating pizza. Before you even realized you were in his lap making out with him. Neither of you two know how you two got there but that didn’t stop you two.
That night you ended up sleeping together too. You woke up before him, in his bed. You were also stuck in place because Dante had a tight hold on you. So you just laid there and thought about everything. How did this happen? Will this change things? What will Dante think? Will this ruin your friendship?
You hear a groan in your ear so you wiggle around to try and face Dante. He realizes what you’re trying to do so he loosens his grip on you. Just enough to let you turn around but once you’re facing him he holds tightly onto you again.
“Mornin’ sweetheart,” he mumbled deeply. You already thought his voice was deep and beautiful but his morning voice is something else. It sends a warmth back to your core. Trying to ignore the heat of your lower area you bury yourself into him.
“Good morning,” you murmur back.
“Want some breakfast? I think I got some stuff. I actually went grocery shopping this week.”
You laugh at his comment knowing that he hates grocery shopping and always “forgets” to do it. “Yeah, that sounds nice.”
He lets go of you and sits up. He lets out another groan while he stretches then hops out of bed. He grabs his discarded underwear from last night puts them on. He then grabs his shirt and throws it over to you. A silent request and you listen. You throw the shirt on and hop out of bed.
You follow Dante down the stairs and into the kitchen. Dante opens the fridge and looks at the small contents of food he has. He asks, “Is eggs and toast good?”
“Yep, sounds good to me. I’ll make the toast while you can make the eggs.”
Dante nods and goes to prepare the eggs. You grab the bread that is on the counter next to the toaster funny enough. You take out four pieces and pop them into the toaster. While the bread toasts you zone out thinking about this all again.
Dante isn’t acting any different than he normally does. So does he regret this? Is this a one time thing in his opinion? You don’t know. There’s so many questions unasked that are obviously going unanswered. But you don’t know how to start the conversation.
You then feel two strong arms wrap around you and pull you into a warm embrace. Dante’s whole body engulfs you. He leans his chin on your shoulder, “I was calling out to you. Are you okay?”
You just nod your head but that doesn’t convince him. He squeezes you tighter, “Are you thinking about all of this?”
He feels you stiffen for a second, that’s how he knows he’s right. Dante lets out a deep breath and tilts your chin so you can look at him.
You look into his beautiful blue eyes. You can see the message he’s trying to put across. It makes you ease up a bit because if he thought negatively of this situation, he wouldn’t give you such a tender look.
“How about we just go with the flow?” He suggests. “We both know I have a messy life and can’t exactly do relationships so let’s keep it casual. We do what we want when we want to. We can obviously set more rules later but what do you think?”
You think about his offer, so he wants to do a friend’s with benefits situation. The idea isn’t all that appealing because you’re more into being in relationships, but this is Dante. The man you’ve been into since he helped you. You selfishly want him in whatever way you can have him. If this is the only way then you’ll do it. Even if it means sacrificing your emotions.
You look at him and give him a light smile, “I’m in, let’s do it.”
Dante smirks and lowers his hand to your butt and gives it a squeeze, “Atta girl.”
Since that day for months you and Dante have been “secretly” hooking up. It was a secret at first until Trish walked into Devil May Cry and see Dante pounding into you on his desk. Trish then told Lady and those two jumped you one night after work demanding answers.
You sigh and lead them up to your apartment where you sit down and tell them the situation. They are not happy with you or him.
“You like him so why put yourself through that? Get a real man that will actually take you out and be your boyfriend,” Trish and Lady lecture you.
“But- I just… this is the only way I can have him. I’ve liked him for so long and I don’t want anyone else. If this is how I can have him then I’ll take it. Even if it means it’ll slowly break my heart,” you gently whisper not being able to look at them.
Trish walks over and kneels in front of you placing a hand on your shoulder. “I get it that you like him so much but he’s only hurting you.”
You snap your head up to look at her, you don’t like how she’s talking down on him. “No he’s not! He takes me out on dates all the time. We don’t always sleep together. We still hang out normally and do everything we use to just with the addition of sleeping together. He’s really protective and sweet. He’s even gotten me some gifts. So don’t talk down on him like he’s some random bar guy. I love him and I don’t want to hear you belittle him.”
Your eyes widen at your own confession and you slap your hands over your mouth. Trish and Lady both stare at you owlishly.
Lady clears her throat, “You love him?” You nod your head. “And he takes care of you?” She asks to confirm.
“Yes he does.”
She pinches the bridge of her nose, “Then why isn’t it official?”
“It’s complicated. Don’t question it, let me deal with all of this.”
That talk was a couple weeks ago and now the two girls watch you seethe in your seat. They see the white haired man talking to all the ladies and making no effort to push them away. You all are too far to hear what they are saying. It’s probably a good thing for your emotional well being.
Trish turns her head to see you knocking back another shot. She’s lost count of how many you’ve done and that’s not good. Normally you barely drink and now you’re pushing it.
“Hey,” she calls out to you. “Take a break yeah?”
You turn to glare at her, “I’m perfectly fine!”
Lady rolls her eyes and just continues to watch this all unfold. Trish has the patience of a saint.
“Why don’t you go dance for a bit? Blow off some steam.”
You beam at her and lighten up. “Oh yeah! I’ll be back later!!” You then run off to the middle of the dance floor.
“Why the hell would you send her drunk and emotional self onto the dance floor?” Lady questions.
Trish slips slowly on her drink, “Because Dante is going to clean his mess up.”
As if she could predict the future Dante comes marching over, “Hey where the hell is she?”
“Who?” Trish asks.
Dante says your name aggressively. Trish then looks over Dante’s shoulder to find you. She finds you in the middle of a group of guys trying to feel you up while dancing. She smirks to herself thinking this situation is perfect.
“Oh she’s just on the dance floor with a bunch of guys over there.” She points to where you are.
Dante snapped his neck so fast. If he was just human he would have definitely broke his neck. He looks to see a crowd of guys all over you trying to lay their hands on you.
His blood boils watching the scene. Before he realized he is marching over to where you are. He’s pushing past people mumbling “excuse me’s” and “sorry’s”.
You don’t even fully realize what’s going on. You’re just trying to dance to one of your favorite songs then suddenly a group of men are around you. They all are trying to get close but you keep dodging them until they have you in the middle of the circle.
You try to keep your head down and keep dancing but that isn’t helping. They are trying to grind on you or try and wrap themselves around you. You hate this. You wanted to dance to get Dante’s escapades out of your head. But now you’re in a stupid situation.
You see a hand reaching out to you in your peripheral vision, you squeezed your eyes shut hoping to delay the event. But the touch never comes. You open your eyes to see Dante holding the man’s wrist. “You better leave her alone if you know what’s good for all of you.”
Then men feel this murderous aura pouring off of Dante. They all quickly apologize and scatter off. You’re happy that Dante helped but you’re still mad at him. You turn away from him but he places his hands on your waist and turn you to face him. He then takes your arms and wraps them around his neck before placing his hands back on your waist.
“What, no praise for your knight in shining leather?” He jokes.
You roll your eyes and ignore him. But that doesn’t stop him from pulling you closer and leading you two in a slow dance.
You keep your eyes off of him while you dance and don’t really seem focused in the moment. He can tell you’re drunk but there’s something else bugging you.
He calls your name, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing Dante,” you snap.
“Whoa there’s definitely something wrong. Come on you have my full attention so tell me what’s wrong.”
This makes your blood boil. You push him away from you and jab your finger into his chest, “You really have some fucking audacity Dante.”
You then spin around and rush out of the bar. Dante stands there in shock and confused by your sudden shift in emotions. You’ve never yelled and snapped at him before. He’s seen you drunk but you’re more of sleepy drunk. This is really coming out of nowhere in his eyes. He knows he can let your drunk self be by yourself at night so he goes after you.
He pushes open the door of the and steps outside. He feels the rain coming down and he curses to himself. He looks left and right then sees you and takes off after you.
You rushed out of the bar to be greeted by a downpour. Great! Just what you needed after this terrible night. You cross your arms over your chest to try and keep as much warmth as you can.
You sniffle which makes you realize that you are crying. You mutter out “fuck” and wipe your tears. Maybe you shouldn’t have done this agreement. You knew something like this would happen but you just couldn’t say no to such a tempting offer.
You feel someone grab your wrist while saying your name. You know exactly who it is. You try to rip your wrist out of his grip but he’s not budging. You stop the futile fight, “Dante, let go,” You beg.
“No, not until you tell me what’s wrong.”
You turn your head to face him and he gapes at your reaction. He sees your red eyes with tears streaming down your face. He’s never seen you fully cry before. He doesn’t even realize he loosened his grip until you pull your hand away and bolt again.
He quickly takes after you again and this time he runs in front of you to stop you. He’s breathing heavily not because of the running but because of his nerves. “Okay tell me what’s wrong.”
“Just leave me alone.”
“No. I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong. Let me help you!” He yells finally tired of your constant dismissal.
You clench your fists and stare right at him, “You wanna know the problem?” Dante quickly nods. “It’s you Dante! You’re the fucking problem!”
Dante feels like he’s been punched in the gut. What do you mean he’s the problem? “What- how… what do you mean I’m the problem?”
You laugh at his answer, “Of course you wouldn’t know!”
“Oh enlighten me then,” he says sarcastically.
“Just go back to your other girls and leave me alone! You did a great job of doing it already, I bet it wouldn’t be hard.”
“Oh so you were jealous? That’s why you’re upset? I was planning on going home with you tonight and fucking you until the sun rose so don’t worry.” He deadpans.
Your jaw drops, the audacity he fucking has. You can’t even right now. You try to walk past him but he sticks his arm out preventing you from getting around.
“DANTE GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!” You scream.
Dante is even more confused, he thought he fixed this. “Why are you still mad?”
You push past his arm and continue on ahead. “Stop avoiding me!” He yells out to you.
You spin on your heel and stare at him. “You wanna know why I’m so mad?” Dante just nods.
“It’s because I love you Dante! I loved your crazy self ever since you helped me move in.”
You see Dante freeze up completely this time. He opens his mouth then immediately closes it a couple of time then finally mutters, “I didn’t know-“
“Of course you didn’t know because I couldn’t show it or tell you! I was so nervous that morning you were going to tell me that it meant nothing to you and that we should never talk about it. But then you offered the goddamn friends with benefits option and I just couldn’t turn it down.” You throw your hands up in frustration, “I knew doing it would hurt me but I didn’t care. I wanted you. I know it’s selfish but I couldn’t say no. Having you this way was better than not having you in some way. So I decided to do this even though I knew it’d kill me slowly.”
You let the tears flow now and you hiccup, “We gotten so close these past months and have basically acted like a couple. It made me think we really were one. But tonight made me realize we didn’t have a label and I’m not yours and you’re not mine. You can have anyone you want. I got ahead of myself and now we are fighting over my selfishness. We made rules and I broke them. Just do me a favor and go back to having your eyes wander all over those girls.”
You don’t bother to look at Dante. Your heart won’t be able to take it. You decide just to turn around and leave this in the past. You can’t come back from this, especially not after your confession. You start getting further and further from the man you love.
Dante has stood there frozen since your first confession. After every new confession it felt like he was getting stabbed over and over again. He couldn’t bear it. But you were obviously in more pain than him. Yet he is the one that caused it. How could he have been so stupid? He didn’t mean for all of this to happen.
He was in the same boat as you. He is in love with you. That’s why he made you the offer. He thought he would get to have you without forcing you to give up a lot of things to be with someone in his profession. But he ended up taking more from you. The exact opposite he wanted.
He watches you get further and further away. Dante can’t watch you get any further because he can’t lose you for good. He can’t turn his back on you two.
He yells your name but you don’t stop. That doesn’t stop him, he’ll chase after you no matter where you lead him.
He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath then yells, “WHY WOULD I HAVE WANDERING EYES WHEN MY WHOLE WORLD IS IN FRONT OF ME!?” Now he watches you freeze and turn around. You two are still at least a hundred feet apart still. He slowly makes his way over to you.
“I’m selfish I know. I caused you more pain than you deserved and I hate myself for it. The last thing I ever wanted was to hurt you. All I ever wanted to do was keep you protected and happy. I’d do anything to make that happen. Those girls that were with me tonight did flirt with me at first but I shut them down. I explained how I am so in love with the woman I brought tonight but I don’t have the balls to tell her. So they tried to help me make a plan to confess.”
He runs a hand through his hair, “How funny is that? I can’t fight demons all day long but I can’t tell the woman I love that I love her. I made the arrangement because I thought like you, I thought I’d lose you. And god if I lost you, I don’t know what I’d do. I can’t even bear the thought of you not spending the night anymore.”
He is now only a few steps away from you but stops to give you some space. Dante lightly calls your name, “I know I fucked up but please let me fix it.”
You slowly nod your head indicating him to keep going. He doesn’t waste his chance, “I love you. I am so in love with you and have been since I saw you. Please be with me. No more stupid friends with benefits. Just us in a relationship, where I am yours and you are mine.”
You stare deeply into Dante’s eyes and speak up, “Dante you better not be lying just to try and fix everything. I don’t want you to say it if you don’t mean it.”
“I mean it, I truly love you. I swear to you,” he responds without hesitation.
“Okay then yes. I’ll be your girlfriend.”
Dante smiles ear to ear and you can’t help yourself from mimicking his reaction. He doesn’t waste another second before pulling you into a bruising kiss.
His big hands brings back so much warmth you have lost in the rain. His tongue runs along the your lips begging for an entrance. You allow him access and he pushes his tongue to meet yours.
He easily dominates your tongue while having your teeth clash from the intense messy kiss. Dante then lightly bites your bottom lip which makes you moan. Dante pulls you closer after your reaction.
The kiss tastes like alcohol and rain. It feels so right and warm. You never will get tired of the intensity of which Dante kisses at.
After Dante feels your movements slow down a bit he breaks the kiss and leans back to look at you. You’re not crying anymore but you’re completely soaked from the rain.
You break the silence first, “Can we head back now? I’m really tired.” You request.
Dante laughs, “Yeah we can head back.” He turns his back to you then crouches down. He turns his head to look over his shoulder, “Hop on, I’ll carry you back.”
You hop onto Dante’s back and hold onto him tightly. You lay your head on his back and whisper loud enough for him to hear, “I love you Dante.”
“I love you too.” He feels your grip loosen a bit indicating you feel asleep. He smiles to himself then whispers, “Sleep well.”
crush pt 2
Izuku x reader !
The notes kept coming.
you’re cute
you’re amazing
you’re so pretty
it was enough to make his head spin. as the year progressed, he found himself looking forward to the notes every day. Every single one made him blush.
Then they stopped. Which made sense, considering he was in high school now. He shouldn’t have been so naive. Hoping that just maybe they would have followed him into UA. He was crazy to think that, egotistical even. He had to get it into his stupid yearning head that whoever gave him the notes was just being nice.
That is, once Class 1A got back from the whole USJ incident, he got a new note. And some gummies.
Heyyy! Miss me? it was hard to find your locker this time! here are some gummies to make it up my sweet green bean! <33 Also, I suggest going to counselling! I’m sorry you had to go through that. but hey, this just proves how strong you are!
His heart stopped. The mystery person was here? At UA? That..made him flush. The only people he knew got into UA, was him, Kachan, and another person, but he didn’t even know how they looked like. The day that their principal congratulated them back in middle school, for getting into UA, they weren’t there.
And he was pretty sure Kachan would never do something so sappy, especially for him. And considering how much security was in UA, that meant they were a student. But there were so many students at UA, finding out who they were seemed impossible.
“Whatcha looking at?” Uraraka asked, snapping him out of his thoughts. He went red, shoving the note into his pocket. “N-nothing!”
She smiled, “I’m not gonna press, but judging by your face, you look happy.”
Yeah. He was happy. The notes were back. One of his most reliable parts of his day. He nodded, “yeah.”
Once she left, and making sure she was out of sight, he took it back out of his pocket, smoothing the paper out. Then double making sure no one was there, he gingerly pecked the paper, wishing that he was actually kissing whoever gave it to him. Face flushed, he took the gummies, and made his way back to class. The note was going into the box under his bed.
He was so cute. It had taken a while to find his locker, and once you’d found it, you hadn’t hesitated to start the notes back up again.
Now before anyone said that you were obsessive, that was just not true. You’d intended to go to UA, but not as a hero. A support course student. And well, if you ever did end up designing and making something for Izuku, that would be on account of begging whoever got him to switch.
so no, you weren’t obsessive. Obviously.
A fic with maybe a tiny bit of angst and reverse comfort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku woke up with a smile. You'd invited him to go roller skating after school today! You. His crush. He sat up and stretched, his muscles a bit achy from training and working out the previous day.
A yawn left his lips as he began to think about the day. He stood from his bed and rubbed the remaining fatigue from his eyes. Izuku started to his bathroom.
Izuku's thoughts began to wander as he himself wandered to his bathroom. He smiled as he began to think of you. Your pretty hair, gentle eyes and your laugh. He really thought you were amazing.
He had such a large crush on you, after all, you were amazing! You were intelligent, strong, determined- you never gave up no matter what the world threw at you. You were so confident, and nothing like him.
Oh..
Right..
He frowned as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. Izuku sighed. You were so beautiful, and he'd been getting so excited about this 1 on 1 hang out session, that he totally forgot.
You were just being friendly.
There was no way around it. He couldn't honestly believe you liked him. There was no way. You were so effortlessly cool and wicked smart with cool talents and hobbies..
..why would you bat an eye at a worthless no one like him?
Izuku felt his thoughts start to spiral, feeling his heart starting to crack in his chest. He took a deep breath and turned on the faucet in his bathroom, cupping his hands under the stream of water and splashing his face with the cool water.
However, the water couldn't pull him from the insecurity and growing doubt bubbling in him. He looked at his reflection, his hands tightly gripping the sink as he stared. Izuku had wild and messy hair, his stupid freckles he was embarrassed of, the slight dark circles under his eyes from late night studying and his whack sleep scheduel.
As he stewed on his appearance, he began to think back to his personality. He was a nerd, definitely, and had some obsessions. Surely, NO ONE would bat an eye at such a-
"Creep!"
"weirdo..."
"Deku!"
"Quirkless freak."
"Defenseless!"
"Wannabe"
Suddenly, Izuku wasn't in the bathroom of his UA dorm, he was right back in the damned middle school classroom. All alone. Just like he deserved.
Izuku's breaths picked up as he backed away from the mirror, his back hitting the wall. His eyes welled up with tears as he started to re-remember the horrible things that had been said about him/to him.
He felt himself begin to cry, but couldn't hear it. He felt dizzy, he felt sick. Izuku slowly melted to the floor, panting and beginning to sob as he grabbed at his throat, trying to breath.
Air didn't fill his lungs.
He felt so scared..
So alone..
so..hopeless..
Meanwhile .~*
You, Uraraka, and Iida, had been waiting to walk to school with Izuku like usual. You checked the time on your phone and hummed, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear in thought. "Hey guys? Freckles doesn't usually take this long to get ready in the morning, does he?"
Uraraka hummed and rubbed her chin, also glancing at the time on the clock on the wall. "Yeah, you've got a point..is Deku not feeling well?"
Iida glanced at the both of you, before taking a step towards the boys' hall. "I'll go check on hi-"
Uraraka giggled and stepped in front of Iida "Hey Y/n~ you should go check on Deku!" She said with a mischievous smile, typical Uraraka.
You blushed and rubbed the back of your neck, sighing and looking away with a bashful expression "Don't say it like that, I know exactly what you're getting at- it's not like that."
The girls had noticed your not so little crush on Izuku, and pounced on you. Hagakure and Mina were the worst about the teasing, while Jiro and Yao-momo tried to encourage you to act on your feelings.
Uraraka groaned, her shoulders sagging as she dramatically expressed her dismay with your insistence on the platonic nature of your feelings for Izuku.
You stared at her before offering her a heavy sigh. "Fine, I'll go check on Midoriya, you two go on ahead today." You relented with a roll of your eyes at Uraraka's visible happiness.
After some parting words, you started your journey to the elevator, using a brisk pace to ensure you'd get to his room and to school, on time.
After a quick elevator ride, and walk to Izuku's dorm, you knocked on his door.
...
Nothing.
You sighed and smiled, figuring he'd slept in, he had been up late training.
"Hey, Freckles, you up?" You question as you knocked a little bit louder on his door. As you wait, you start to feel anxious. Izuku wasn't a terribly deep sleeper, but sometimes he could get in a pretty thick sleep.
You frowned at the nerves growing in your stomach. You sighed and knocked louder this time, wanting to make sure he was alright. "Midoriya? Are you awake?"
After hearing nothing for the third time, you grab the handle "I'm coming in." You called through the door with obvious concern in your voice.
You twisted the handle and opened the door, that's when you heard it-
-crying.
You stiffen at the sound of Izuku's sobs. Instantly you bolt inside of his dorm and dash to his bathroom.
You found him on his knees, gripping onto his chest and hyperventilating while sobbing.
"Hey! Midoriya!" You slide to your knees and gently wrapped your arms around him, pulling the distraught boy to rest his head on your chest, his tears and heavy breaths littering your senses.
Inside, you're panicking yourself. Why was he crying? What was going on? You shake off your worries and let out a shaky breath, before gingerly combing your fingers through his hair.
Izuku looked up at you with hazy eyes, his breaths shallow, quick and uneven. "Izuku, hey.." You tenderly palmed his freckled cheek, gently running your thumb over his soft skin.
"Breathe with me," You softly encouraged, tenderly speaking in a quiet and soft tone.
Izuku's breathing began to slightly slow as you gently ebbed away the panic and insecurity that had spiraled into a full blown panic attack.
It didn't take too long before your soft words and careful movements turned him into a whimpering and hiccupping mess. Izuku hated how pathetic he seemed. He hated how vulnerable he was with you. He must've looked so weak- so fragile.
You must've thought he was so annoying.
"I-I'm s-orry-" he managed to choke out, his voice small and shaky.
You looked down at him with a soft gaze. "Zuku" the nickname made his heart flutter in his chest and a small blush gently dust his cheeks. "You dont have to apologize."
Your soft words made his tears return. All of the pent up emotion and stress just- bubbled up.
he sucked in a deep breath and choked out a sob, "I-I know- i just..I-I dont wanna feel weak and I-I j-just think you're s-so amazing a-and you're so pretty a-and I d-don't know wh-why you'd want t-to h-hang out with a g-guy like me. I-I just like y-you s-so much and-"
₊˚⊹♡Chu♡⊹˚₊
Time seemed to stand still for Izuku as he felt a very soft pair of lips meet his. His eyes widened as he looked at your face.
You pulled back and smiled softly at the flabbergasted boy. His face was beet red and his mouth moved up and down, words trying to string together comprehensively.
"Y-you j-just- you- my- you k-kissed-" Izuku stuttered dumbly, his freckled face bright red and his eyes as wide as saucers.
You simply laughed and cupped his cheeks "You said you liked me, right?" you said softly, affection undeniably flooding your gaze. He could only nod as he gaped at you.
"I like you too, okay? I just thought that you'd never like someone like me." You said with a simple shrug.
Izuku dissolved into small tears again, his bottom lip wobbly "You..like me..? Wh-Why me..?"
You almost laughed out loud, but instead gave him a small, shy smile "why you? Why not you? You're cute and funny and you're so smart. You have such a pure heart and you bust your ass to get what you want. You're amazing and so sweet, not to mention you're very pretty."
Your words, so heartfelt and shy in nature, made Izuku blush, and his eyes drip with the small tears. "I-...I dont know what to say" he whimpered "Thank you" Was all Izuku could manage as he pressed his face into your chest, trembling slightly from the adrenaline of his panic attack.
"You're welcome, Izuku." You mumbled as you placed a small kiss on top of his head. He felt a weight lift off of his chest, and smiled softly, closing his eyes as he relished in your embrace, before pulling away.
"W-we have to get ready for class.." He mumbled, his eyes still a bit red from crying, and his nose a bit stuffy. You gasped and chuckled "Yeah! You're right-" You grinned down at him and cupped his cheek "I'll let you change, Iida and Ochaco already left for school, so we can walk together."
Izuku blushed as you cupped his cheek, leaning into your touch with a shy smile "Okay..then lets do that" He said with a soft tone. You nodded and leaned down, gently pressing another quick kiss to his lips, before pulling back and smiling.
He flushed bright red and watched as you stood, offering your hand. Izuku smiled a little and took it, pulling himself up with your assistance. "Get dressed, I'll be waiting for you" You said with a goofy grin.
Izuku nodded as you turned. He suddenly grabbed you, his cheeks bright red as he gently took your hand in his, making you turn. He closed his eyes tightly and leaned in, pressing a shy kiss to your cheek "I-I'll be ready soon"
Your eyes widened, and cheeks melted into a rosy red color. You nodded and put a hand on your cheek "yeah..okay.." you mumbled as you spun around, walking out of Izukus room.
You leaned against Izukus dorm door and sighed, a huge smile pulling at your lips as you touched your cheek.
Izuku covered his face with his hands and smiled into his palms, a bright blush on his cheeks.
They're both so whipped.

Childhood best friends turned into something more, at least with the label. Katsuki Bakugo, a fast-rising hero and fast-learning guy who is ever so slow in getting attached to and loving someone. Even three long years into a relationship, and your friends even forget you're even dating. Nothing happening, spare a few kisses.. like 3 kisses, during high school. Graduated and living together, and you guys have done absolutely nothing to further the relationship. Are you sure you're not just friends? CW: Smut, brief domestic violence discussion, virginity loss, aggressive flirting from creeps, gore with pro hero stuff (lmk if i missed any) Applies to all chapters regardless of it is in said chapter.
