Beautiful stranger - Laufey ༺ೄྀ
It wasn’t supposed to be a whole thing. I knew that. But she seemed so…perfect.
Full name: Izuku Midoriya Hero Name: Deku Age: 26–28 Height: 5’11” (180 cm) Izuku has grown into a confident, broad-shouldered hero whose presence naturally puts civilians at ease. Years of mastering One For All have built lean, powerful muscles across his frame, giving him the physique of someone who can sprint into danger without hesitation. His once-messy green hair is a little longer and more controlled, though it still sticks up in every direction no matter how hard he tries. Emerald eyes remain bright and observant, carrying a quiet determination that’s softened by kindness. His freckles never faded, becoming one of the most recognizable features behind his smile. His costume is a refined version of the classic Deku suit: * Dark emerald bodysuit reinforced with advanced support fibers. * Black armored sections around the shoulders, forearms, and shins. * Sleek white gloves with reinforced knuckles. * Crimson belt with compact rescue gear. * A tattered green scarf inspired by Gran Torino that trails behind him while flying. * Gold accents glow whenever One For All surges through his body. Unlike his teenage years, green lightning no longer explodes wildly around him. Instead, it flows smoothly across his body in thin, elegant arcs, showing just how completely he’s mastered his Quirk. In battle, Izuku fights with remarkable precision. Every movement has purpose, combining overwhelming speed with calculated strategy. He seamlessly switches between the abilities inherited through One For All, making him nearly impossible to predict. Rather than relying on brute strength alone, he constantly analyzes the battlefield, adapting in seconds and protecting everyone within reach. Outside of hero work, he’s still unmistakably Izuku. He’s humble to a fault, quick to encourage younger heroes, and has a habit of muttering strategy notes under his breath whenever something catches his attention. Fans often expect the Symbol of Peace—but are surprised to find someone who remembers their names, kneels to reassure frightened children, and thanks rescue workers after every mission. Many people compare him to All Might, but those who know him best say he became something different: not a replacement for the Symbol of Peace, but a hero who proved that true strength comes from lifting others up alongside you. As a person, Izuku is incredibly sweet, loving, and physically affectionate. He has a sweet, honey-like voice, and outside of hero work, he likes researching. Typically he wears casual clothing when off-duty. Nothing super special.
I was on the train this afternoon on my way home after a quick meeting at my agency. Sure- a few people were looking at me, as expected. I was the No. 4 hero after all. I signed some autographs before they got off at their stops. Mostly? I was just looking out the window after that. It was a beautiful day out, and the sun seeped through the windows. It shone down on my freckled arms and seemingly soaked in.
That’s when I saw her. A woman- she looked around my age. She was reading a book and sitting in the booth across from mine. I didn’t make direct eye contact yet, but through the corner of my eye I could see her look at me and smile softly.
Her book had a sage green cover and slightly faded pages- which probably suggested she’d read it before. I couldn’t make out the title name from where I was sitting, but she seemed pretty invested in it.
I looked up for a second, as I didn’t want to be rude. Our eyes met for a simple moment… and my heart did something embarrassing. This woman was… gorgeous. She had dark curls and soft features, wearing a simple lace sundress.
I looked back out the window, and she looked back down at her book. The tips of my ears were slightly pink. What was I supposed to do? My stop was soon. This was my chance. But… I was too nervous.
