cw: implied relationship between you and izuku, fluff, tenya iida has a baby, lowercase intentional, not proofread
izuku midoriya would be a fantastic father, that’s out of the question.
he would love whatever bundle of joy the two of you brought into the world with his whole being. he would cry messy tears as soon as he laid his eyes on the sweet angel on your chest, approaching you with quiet, cautious steps as to not cause any further stress to you or the baby. his hand would tremble as he reached to caress the baby’s face, and izuku would look up at you with a wobbly smile when your baby squeezed his finger with their tiny hand.
you just didn’t expect that the switch inside him would flip when he was holding the baby of your old high school classmate, tenya iida.
tenya’s baby was adorable, complete with dark blue hair and chubby cheeks. his baby wasn’t fussy or shy, just curious of the world around them. the baby looked at izuku with big eyes as they grabbed at his green hair, giving it a tug with their surprising baby strength.
tenya, ever vigilant, apologized for his child’s behavior immediately but izuku didn’t seem to mind. izuku didn’t even seem to listen as his friend talked to his baby, admonishing the six month old and that “when you’re older, you’re going to apologize to mr. midoriya”.
the baby laughed and cooed with a smile, not caring about their father’s words. izuku reassured his friend that “its fine, really! they’re just curious!” as he waggled his finger at the small child. the baby swatted at izuku’s hand, not entertained by his efforts, and reached out to grab izuku’s nose.
it was quick, playful really. just a baby trying to get their hands on anything and everything, developing their motor skills. but you saw the glimmer in izuku’s eyes.
that’s when he gave you the look.
his pupils were dilated and his cheeks were slightly flushed. you could tell that it was in that moment that izuku needed to be a father.
you and izuku had talked about children and your plans for the future a handful of times, but it always felt so far away.
now, in this moment, with izuku holding tenya iida’s chubby baby, those talks didn’t feel like they were decades away.
with wide, pleading eyes, izuku gently raised the baby as if showing the child to you. you could already hear the conversation you’ll be having later that night.
izuku had come down with a bad case of baby fever.
a/n: i have big ideas about izuku and how he would be as a father you have no idea, but the question is would you want to read it..? ill probably write and post it anyways >:P
