Request: Hi, sugar! i just wanted to tell you how much i adore your fics. everything about them is truly outstanding, from your choice of words to the ideas you come up with. might i add, your ability to write the characters so well and immerse someone in the story are amazing and i hope that youāre very proud of what youāve brought to the fandom! youāre one of my favourite writers on here! would it be possible for you to write comfort hcs for izuku w/ a reader whoās a victim of depression, or even if you arenāt comfortable with that, just for bad days? iāve been feeling a lot worse than usual and itās all crumbled for me, so iām just seeking comfort from my best boy. - anon neoĀ
A/N: Iām sobbing??? Iām one of your favorites??! This is literally some of the nicest stuff anyone has ever said to me?? Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! Iām so glad people actually like this stuff I make!Ā
And Iām always chill with doing anxious or depressed reader, since itās something I (sadly) relate to myself and therefore feel pretty comfortable portraying it the best I can. I tried to get these out and done as fast as I could, but I hope youāre feeling better!Ā
I promise you, you can get through this. I believe in you. If you ever need to chat, Iām always open (this goes for everyone). I really enjoyed writing these and loved your request. No worries, I got you!

Ever since you started dating, Izuku pays a lot of attention to you and how youāre feeling, whether heās subtle about it or not
So when you start spiraling into a bad place, heāll notice pretty quickly
Heāll immediately ask you whatās wrong, remembering and still regretting the choices heād made when he knew something was up with Iida
Heās a little sad when you explain you have depression, but he wonāt be swayed. Far from it. This boy is determined to be the best boyfriend he can be for you, no matter what!
Heāll do some research before making too many moves. The idea of the big sad isnāt completely foreign to him, but he wants to make sure heās doing everything right
Izuku would go over all the little notes heād taken on you, making a habit of jotting down anything you like
Once heās made a bit of a plan for himself and gathered everything up, you can expect a Deku-bomb of everything you like and itās all just for you!
You like food? Heāll buy you your favorites and treat you with them when he storms your room. Into more outdoorsy or sporty activities? Heāll gently ask you if youāre up for getting outside and doing them. Heāll even invite your friends! You like books? Heāll pick up that novel youāve been eyeing since it came out. The list goes on. Heād do anything to bring a smile to your face
So anyway, as I said, heād storm your room with everything he could find that he thought might help, ready to dedicate the entire afternoon and evening to you
Heād ask if there was anything you needed to talk about. Heās really good at listening if you decide there is something you need to rant about. Heās not too bad with advice either!
If you decide not to talk about it, or maybe thereās nothing to talk about and you just feel a little blah, heāll take out whatever lilā something he got you
At this point, heād do whatever you want to do, whether itās playing a video game or going out for a walk or watching your favorite movie
And whenever you want, Izuku is always down to cuddle (hehehe my favorite part!)
Heāll scour both his and your rooms to find every blanket he can, coming back to wrap you up into a little fuzzy burrito
Heāll pull you into bed and spoon you, but not before pressing kisses over every available surface of your face and the top of your head
Heāll hug you into him from behind, draping a leg over you and resting his head above yours. This is also a good time to do any kind of ranting or talking, and if you ever feel the need to cry, youāre more than able to!
If you cry tho, Izuku might cry too. Heās very in touch with his emotions and seeing you cry will never fail to make him tear up too. Thatās just the kind of person he is
Heāll remind you of how much he loves you and murmurs words of support and encouragement in your ear. There is hope for the future, and things wonāt always be like this. Heās not afraid to start listing everything he loves about you, and trust me when I say this, he could go on and on. He has notes. He thinks about this every day
Whenever you get too hot in your burrito blanket, you can always climb out. But now this means that all your kissable surfaces are exposed!
If all his efforts to make you smile before had failed, this is the last straw.Ā
Heāll start a tickle war, pulling you back in to kiss you anywhere he can reach; your cheeks, your neck, your belly. Thereās nothing suggestive behind it, he just wants you to know how loved you are by him
Once youāre done, heāll let you nuzzle back into him for some much needed sleep. Heās spending the night with you, and there really isnāt much you can do about that
Even after your evening together is over, he wonāt stop checking in on you to make sure youāre okay. Heāll do cuddle sessions, movie nights, walks in the park, anything, any time, as long as he knows heās making a difference in making you feel better, even if itās just a little
Heāll check in to make sure youāre taking care of yourself. You best be sure youāre eating your meals and drinking plenty of water. Heāll even bring you some if youāre not up for leaving your room
Guilty of never getting enough sleep? Heāll poke his head in to see if youāre still awake, and if you are, heāll gladly tug you into bed and hold you until youāve slipped off to the feeling of his hands running through your hair
Get too much sleep? Heāll make sure to invite you to things heās doing to get you out of the house, or even take you on dates with just the two of you to keep you active and occupied
I know that Iām guilty of not showering when I hit a slump, so heāll make sure to remind you to do that (if ya need it. no shame). Heād even make sure you were changing out and washing your clothes and sheets, happy to help you if youāre not up for it
If you need help picking up your room or washing dishes and the like, heās prepped to help you there too. Better make sure youāre changing your clothes too, now. AT LEAST HAVE DAY PAJAMAS AND NIGHT PAJAMAS Iā
My depression tends to come in waves (or as I like to call them; Sad Bitch Hoursā¢), so if thatās the case for you, heāll help you until you feel better and a little more like yourself againĀ
Izuku will never leave your side no matter what because thatās just how much he loves you. He has faith in you that you are strong enough to fight the issues and the hurt and the pain plaguing you, and by all means he will support you until the worst is over
