Smile Again - an IidaMei drabble
Okay but, imagine Tenya telling Mei to hop on his back and cling tightly to him, since he was gonna take her to an inventors' event that she was already very late for because of a mishap that morning with the device she was supposed to showcase.
(A/N: This was inspired by the song "Smile Again" by Rumble Fish [listen below]. Though, I didn't write about the whole Tenya + Mei running scene, you can imagine it when you listen to the song lololol. I'm a bit pressed on time due to work so I maybe lacking in the vocabulary department [I ran low on being a writer and an engineer tonight, I'm sorry really] and I was lazy to write the main prompt above hurr hurr. Anyways, hope this brightens someone's day still ksks.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a huge technical symposium where Mei is supposed to be competing against other high school support students to be awarded a sponsorship for a start up invention that they will propose then and there at the event. Being the most promising support course student in their sophomore year, she was chosen to be UA's representative and so she poured all her efforts and enthusiasm for this months before the competition.
As she was a friend of Tenya, Ochaco, and Izuku, class 2-A became aware of the upcoming event and offered their well-wishes; also trying to avoid giving her anymore additional work with their support items. Tenya, who was beginning to be especially close to her (and has also been hiding a crush on her for a long time now), visited her frequently at her workshop to help her test her ideas, from conception even up to it being a full-blown contraption.
He came to know her classmates as well when he was with her and realized that a lot of people there regarded her as a genius, a gifted girl for her age, and he can't help his crush on her from deepening. However, he also caught some whisperings about some people being envious or saying snide remarks about her being the teacher's (Power Loader) pet, and how she was short to being astounding; it was all a biased decision. He controlled himself not to confront those people because Mei needed him beside her and adding to the stressfulness of preparing for a competition is the last thing on his mind.
A week before D-day, they tested her newest baby, which was really a baby made just for him: it was a mechanism similar to that of an airplane's that you wear like a vest, that has a reverse thrust to help in braking the speed of heroes with quirks that make them speedy and lose control of that. It was of course intended no to only for him in the long run; people like Izuku, Katsuki, or even Shouto could use it when in battle.
When testing it, it worked perfectly, outstandingly, and safely, much to Tenya's liking. Even if there were midterms and practical exams coming up the next week, Tenya gave at least two hours of his every day that week to test with Mei. When they met, she often had a snack or a full meal with her (if she hasn't eaten lunch yet) that she bought from the cafeteria and she shared with Tenya to thank him for all his efforts. He wasn't expecting anything in return actually, rather than to help her reach her dream little by little, but at that time that her baby had exceeded the limit she thought was supposed to be the limit according to her calculations, Mei couldn't help but hug him back so tightly, and even gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before packing up and bidding their goodbyes. This left him unable to follow her back to the school building and instead, just stood there with a silly crooked smile on his face while his hand touched his cheek for a while. It wasn't when he saw Mei struggling a bit to carry the weight of her toolbox that he snapped out of it and offered to take it from her and walk her back to the workshop. She continued to be her enthusiastic self and didn't even mention anything about the kiss afterwards lol.
But then, at the morning of the symposium, when they were walking towards the workshop and talking about their presentation later that afternoon (he was coming with her as her demo person), they both noticed that the doors were ajar and that wasn't supposed to be, it was too early in the morning for any student to need to be there except for Mei herself. So she and Tenya hurried to the room, only to find Mei's work station in complete chaos: her tools were thrown in every direction, her blueprints (not even related to her competition) were ripped apart, and worst of all, her newest baby was dismantled in a not so graceful way as the vest had its tubes yanked out, its wires cut hurriedly, and the casing having multiple dents on it.
Mei was distraught. For the first time they were together, Tenya saw fear and panic in her eyes and after just a split second, she started crying. Ugly crying, in fact, as she suddenly got on her knees and a string of no's, why's, and my baby's was all she can scream. Tenya was also close to breaking down; all the stress from the previous months they've been developing this has all been for nothing?? But he collected himself, hugged Mei very tightly from behind, and told her that they can figure this out. That they can fix their baby up, that it wasn't over.
That they were still going to the symposium no matter what.
Mei looked at him as if he was just spouting nonsense, but Tenya just smiled reassuringly and softly, and he started to pick up the damaged vest and the tools.
"Mei, I know right now everything seems like a mess, and that it's far from possible for it to work. But I believe we can still make it. You know why? Because it's you. You're Hatsume Mei, the genius inventor who thinks of the most brilliant ideas as fast as she can build those ideas to life. That's you, Mei. So what do you say? Let's get to it."
Mei was speechless, this boy in front of her was making her believe in the impossible and most of all, fuelling her spirit as that crazy inventor who never gave up even when her inventions were literally exploding in the workshop back then. She always could save them, she always had. That was one of her strongest points.
"Okay, Tenya. Thank you, really. There's really more to that jacked-up nerd exterior you're sporting, isn't there?"
"Wha-- What are you saying, Me--"
"Oh yeah, if I'm going to fix this right now, how are we still going to make it in time to the venue? There's only 2 hours left before call time and we're at least a city away!"
She was surprised when she saw Tenya chuckle.
"Mei, I can take you there. What's the use of my quirk when I can't even take you somewhere you need to go to in an emergency?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus content:
While working on fixing the vest, a boy from Mei's class walked towards the workshop, commenting on the huge mess that was there and how unlucky Mei was for having a break-in on the day of her competition. Tenya was quick to recognize him as one of the students who gave snide remarks about Mei, and everything instantly made sense.
"My oh my, whoever did this must've really been eyeing you for a long time now, Hatsume," he began. "But maybe you were so comfortable, so easygoing that you never thought your precious inventions would be targerted by an outsider-- WHA-- HEY--"
In a swift motion, Tenya's fist came in contact with the boy's face, sending him tumbling outside the workshop and stunned at what just happened.
"You're-- you're Hatsume's boyfriend, right?? I-I didn't notice you were there--" he sputtered, now holding his cheek anxiously.
Tenya paid no mind to his question, didn't even give him a chance to explain, and crouched to his level, a sharp and deadly glare in his dark blue eyes.
"You made her cry on her most important day.. Do you even know how much of her self she poured into this competition?"
The scared student tried to shrink back more to the wall that his back was against now.
"P-please, I... I didn't do it! It wasn't me-- you don't even have proof! She had it coming, that annoying bitch--!!"
"FUCK YOU."
And that last punch sent the kid to la la land. Tenya stood up, trying to calm his anger, rationalizing things and what else he needed to do. He'll deal with the consequences of injuring a fellow student in school grounds later; the competition comes first.
"Hey, Tenny, that's enough for now. You're getting your hands dirty for something far from important," Mei called him with a sigh from inside the workshop. "Thanks for standing up for me but he's not worth your time."
"I'm sorry, he was just severely in the wrong here. And I couldn't let that pass, after everything..." he tried to relax, sighing as well. "Do you have a sink I can use here?"
Upon glancing at his bloodied knuckles, Mei smiled worriedly at him.
"He's also not worth your detention."
Hey, just wanted to know if you could rank MHz ships from least to worse?
MHZ? Do you mean MHA? LOL there are so many that could go on for infinity. I guess there are some ‘main’ ships, so I guess I’ll try and rank them.
24. Izuocha
I guess not so much the fandom as the confusing mess that has become their relationship in canon makes it my least favorite. I think it’s too late in the story to salvage this one for me or make me happy that they’re apparently supposed to end up together; it jus keeps getting less interesting as time goes on.
23. KiriBaku
I also just don’t get this one. Like, yeah, it’s nice that Kacchan has a friend, but the second biggest ship in the fandom? I probably wouldn’t have anything against it if it was just middle of the road popular, but the overexposure makes me dislike it.
22. KiriKami
Kinda in a similar vein, though this one I’m just neutral too. Nice friends, kinda sweet, nothing else.
21. Todo/Ii/Deku
Same as above.
20. Kirideku
I like this one better since Kiri has an actual emotional lbackstory piece with Midoriya that connects them and they share interesting things in common.
19. MomoKendo
I really enjoy MomoKendo, and all the ships from here on out; it just has less screentime and therefore less of my attention.
18. Erasermic
This is another one that feels to me like it’s really really popular, but as a ship for my books just kind of ok. Like, they’re childhood friends and all, but what else?
17. Melissa/Mei
A rarepair that I think is important and should get more attention.
16. Eraserjoke
Similar to Erasermic, though at least this one has a bit more chemistry (in my opinion)
15. Shinsou/Kaminari
I do like this one; it just has very limited screentime, so it lands in the middle.
14. DabiHawks
LOL I guess I like this one because it seems like the only viable ship for either character. I guess there’s also Touya/Tomura but they don’t really hang out that much.
13. Iida/Mei
These two do have some really fun chemistry, even if they don’t get that much screentime.
12. EraserCloud
This has sort of beck my favorite Aizawa ship. I’m a sucker for that Winter Soldier/Obito dynamic.
11. Kacchako
Yeah even though they don’t have much screentime I still like this one more than Izuocha. If the Wonder duo have to end up in straight pairings I’d be all for the Kacchako/Midotsuyu pairing. Or the OT3 option.
10. Togachako
Uraraka has like half the pairings on this list lol. Anyway these two have really grown on me since last year’s arc finally let Ochako reciprocate Toga’s affection a bit.
9. Tododeku
These two are undeniably sweet together. They’re the least interesting corner of the OT3 trinity to me, but I get why they’re popular.
8. Tsuyu/Ochako
Definitely one of Ochako’s most stable relationships and the most prominent Tsuyu pairing.
7. KamiJirou
Love their chemistry.
6. MomoJirou
Grown on me over KamiJirou due to their friendship, but this is another one where the OT3 option is nice.
5. Iida/Ochako
The most balanced Ochako ship and Iida ship. Largest part in each other’s lives and most supportive dynamic.
4. TodoMomo
Also Todoroki and Momo’s most balanced pairing, though only my second favorite Shoto ship.
3. KiriMina
Easy winner for Kirishima and Ashido.
2. TodoBaku
LOL they have so much chemistry. It’s not even funny. And now they’ve got friendship and substance to their bond too. I love them.
1. BakuDeku
Huge shocker, I know. OTP from the start, still now.
hope that answers it. LOL what if the ask meant a different show.

It started when an alien device did what it did, and stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid.
But what if Ben wasn't the recipent? What if there was a world with no Ben, but a different person in his place?
What if Izuku Midoriya was the holder of the Omnitrix?

Hades to Persephone
Hades to Persephone by Lindz
Does the story really end when Hades takes Persephone to live with him in the underworld? Or is that only the beginning? She falls in love with him and gets her happy ending, but what about after that?
Shouto has married the god of his dreams. He's become King of the Underworld and has a real purpose in life now and people that needs him. He's on friendly terms with his family again, he's made friends, he's free to roam Olympus and Earth- anywhere he desires and so is his husband now. Everything seems perfect...
There's just one teeny, tiny thing that he's been thinking about a lot lately and has been wondering about. He knows Izuku will give him anything that he asks for, but he realizes too late that what he's asking for carries too big of a cost.
