a/n: exposed tattoos are kind of a no-no in japan. Also please leave the little sea critters in the ocean alone. I’m not sure if we were doing the right thing when we were kds by bringing them to shore in the first place but we always put them back around the same spot after. Respect the ocean.
It took them a good long while but you all finally found a good time for a trip to the beach.
After years of being shamed for your quirk you had finally found the courage to wear something other than your usual restrictive full body suit.
It took a little convincing from Mina and Uraraka but sure enough you bought a two piece swimsuit in the mall trip prior.
The top had frills and the bottom was more like tiny biking shorts.
But while you hadn’t had big humongalonga honking bazoongas like Yaoyorozu, you certainly had enough.
And with your swimsuit hugging you tightly and exposing your figure Iida had to force himself to not look at those parts of you.
‘Your eyes’, he’d remind himself. ‘Focus on your eyes.’
The boys didn’t dare bring up why he stuck close to you.
Or why he glared at any one who stared.
True, you were used to it. Your quirk being the tattoos on your skin. You weren’t too shy to show them off around your classmates now, considering your hero costume had exposed most of your back. And with them backing you up, not many strangers dared to encroach on the area your class sequestered.
But Iida had also found out he was a leg man
And your hero suit’s cargo pants did you absolutely no justice
He was concerned though when you carried a wide bucket with you. Empty plastic bottles tied around it’s edge.
It contained all your stuff yes
Towels, a waterproof bag for your change of clothes. Some bottled water and snacks.
But when you all had finished setting up, you called to Tsuyu as you headed to where she was at the water.
It was then that he saw a rope extending from it
And yOU WERE TYING THE ROPE AROUND YOUR LEG????!!!!!
Y/N WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!!!
He didn’t get a chance to stop you.
And he didn’t try to follow you both as you swam to the deeper parts.
Tsuyu stayed close to you at least.
He tried to focus on the others, choosing to join the beach volleyball game instead.
When he heard your voice calling to them though his head snapped and all his attention went back to you as you waved them over.
And can he just say that you looked stunning while you knelt in the sand, hair wet and glistening, the waves brushing up against your soft thighs-
You showed off the inside of the water filled bucket.
A starfish and sea urchins?
You even had a largely intact clam shell in there, wow.
Thus an impromptu aquatic lecture happened, you listing off what the creature was and showing it off to them, picking up each one gently out of the water and placing them back in the same way.
You even let Kouda use his quirk on them for a bit.
When he said that the creatures were scared and confused you told him to tell them that you just wanted to show off how beautiful they were and that you would return them to their homes in just a bit.
When you and Tsu came back from returning the creatures you had thankfully abandoned the bucket by your stuff.
You also joined in some water games.
Trying to dive under each other legs
Iida and you lost against Mina and Sero.
But those few seconds between your thighs was heaven for him.
He got a few seconds alone with you.
You swam aimlessly while you two talked.
You were content to stay where the water reached your chest.
The waves were getting harder though, so once in a while they’d carry you
After the fourth or fifth time you just stayed, holding on to Iida’s arm
Tired from all the swimming and diving you did, you slept on the bus ride home. Your head resting on Iida’s shoulder.
(some of the class snickered at Iida later)
(he’s also asked Uraraka to delete that picture she took)
(that was very rude of her)
