Chapter Text
Deku's heart hammered in his chest as he tossed his backpack aside and sprinted toward Asui, hoping and praying that he would make it in time. The villain's attack seemed to move in slow motion as Deku launched himself in front of Asui, having used One For All as an extra boost to put himself between his classmate and the villain's attack.
"Midoriya?!" Asui exclaimed as a mess of green hair and frightened eyes of the same hue dove in front of her.
Her eyes widened as she witnessed the boy take the hit from the attack, not even knowing what this villain's quirk did or if this would be the last moment Asui saw Deku alive, but there was nothing she could do as it happened.
Todoroki slid in on a path of frost and sent a wall of ice in the villain's direction, blocking the villain from them so that he could rescue his friends.
"Asui, run and get help, I will take care of Midoriya." Todoroki said calmly.
Asui looked hesitant to leave, glancing down at Deku as he lay writhing in pain on the ground; what had that villain's quirk been? Was Deku going to die? She was understandably worried for the person that had most likely just sacrificed their life for her.
"Asui, go now." Todoroki said, kneeling down beside Deku. "We don't have time to waste, help depends on you, now get moving."
Asui nodded and hurriedly left to find help, her stomach clenching in worry for her classmates.
"T-Todoroki..." Deku groaned, green eyes fluttering with the struggle to stay open.
"Midoriya, I need you to stay awake, alright?" Todoroki said softly. "Talk to me for as long as you can. You likely have internal damage, and I can't risk you moving right now."
Deku could barely register what was being said, Todoroki's voice sounding like a faint muffle; he strained to understand the words, trying to read Todoroki's lips as best he could, but it seemed that his vision was starting to get fuzzy at the edges and his stomach felt heavy with nausea. It took him a long moment to notice that he had been picked up and was now being carried, his body limp in Todoroki's arms despite his every muscle trying to respond to the signals his brain was giving.
Todoroki hurried toward UA, worriedly glancing down at Deku every so often as he ran with the boy in his arms; he had to get him to Recovery Girl.
"Midoriya, we're almost-" Todoroki stopped short as he glanced down at the boy in his arms once again.
Deku's clothing had been torn on one side from the attack and had slipped down his left shoulder, but what had caught Todoroki's attention was the fact that there was a clearly female breast peeking out from the torn fabric. Todoroki's cheeks flared up a bright red and he averted his eyes, grasping the edge of Deku's torn clothing with his fingertips to tug it over the exposed flesh as he continued toward UA, thoughts coursing through his mind.
'Is Midoriya secretly a girl? No, that can't be right, I've seen him in the boy's bathroom plenty of times- the changing rooms too! Did that villain......do this to Midoriya?'
Todoroki rushed through the front entrance of UA just as All Might and Mr. Aizawa came running out toward him; Aizawa kept going as All Might stopped, noticing Deku in Todoroki's arms. The number one hero clearly seemed to falter at the sight, brows knitted in worry.
"Todoroki, what has happened to young Midoriya?" he asked, attempting to regain his fearless composure.
"A villain attacked on our way from breakfast at a cafe, sir." Todoroki explained. "Midoriya protected a classmate from getting hurt and ended up getting injured instead. I don't think the damage is life threatening, he just had the wind knocked out of him and fainted."
He was about to make mention of his discovery, but decided that it wasn't important and that All Might should be hurrying to apprehend the villain instead of worrying over Deku.
"You're very brave for taking the initiative in sending young Asui to get us for help and getting your classmate away from danger," All Might said, patting Todoroki's head. "However, I must hurry and help Aizawa get rid of that villain before they cause any more trouble! Get young Midoriya to Recovery Girl, I will be back soon."
Todoroki nodded and stepped past All Might, heading to Recovery Girl's office; he had to wonder why All Might seemed to dote on Midoriya so much, but right now wasn't the time to be worrying about that.
Recovery Girl seemed to be surprised when Todoroki laid Deku down on one of the cots in the infirmary, immediately noticing the difference in Deku's body.
"My, my, what mess has Midoriya gotten himself into this time?" Recover Girl sighed.
"We were attack by a villain on our way to school. We were just getting back from having breakfast at a nearby cafe." Todoroki explained. "I think that villain somehow turned Midoriya into a girl. Is there a quirk that could do something like that?"
"Of course, sonny." Recovery Girl said, checking over Deku's unconscious body gently. "Quirks are unpredictable and vary in what they can do, it's no surprise that there is a quirk to change someone's body into another gender. It's a fairly useless quirk, but I suppose it has its uses if the user is trying to cause confusion on their rival's end to distract them in a fight."
"Midoriya is hurt though, so I don't see how this is a harmless quirk." Todoroki protested.
"Oh, Midoriya will be fine, he just took the hit point blank and got knocked out." Recovery Girl explained. "Let him rest, he'll be fine when he wakes up."
Todoroki nodded, looking at Deku's unconscious face in concern.
"What about this quirk?" he asked quietly. "How long do you think this will last?"
"It won't be permanent, if that's what you're thinking." Recovery Girl chuckled. "I've seen a quirk like this before that caused a student to change into a small child for a week, but I doubt this will last any longer than that. I have never seen a quirk like this last longer than maybe a few days to a week. Midoriya should be fine within a week, he will just have to a borrow a girl's uniform for the time being and wait it out."
Recovery Girl smoothed Deku's hair back and gently kissed his forehead, smiling softly.
"There we go, now any cuts or bruises he has will be gone when he wakes up." she mumbled. "He makes an adorable girl, doesn't he?"
The question caught Todoroki off guard, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at Deku now. Deku's face had gentler features: a softer slope to the cheeks, thick eyelashes resting over closed eyes, and a peachy pink tone to the lips that made Todoroki wonder what it would be like to kiss them. He blushed slightly at the thought, but pushed it aside as he turned his attention to Recovery Girl.
"Midoriya has always been adorable." Todoroki said simply. "It isn't out of the ordinary for him to look cute; regardless of gender, he will always remain cute."
"It sounds like you have a fondness for Midoriya." Recovery Girl pointed out.
"He is my friend, of course I'm fond of him." Todoroki replied.
'Or I just have an undeniable fondness for reckless idiots with freckles.'
It felt a bit foreign to actually call Deku his friend, but that is, after all, what Deku had tried so hard to accomplish all this time, wasn't it? To finally accept that friendship for what it was, Todoroki felt he should talk to Deku about it after he woke up.
Recovery girl silently left the room, allowing Todoroki time with Deku if he wanted while she left to see if there were any un-issued girl's uniforms in the faculty office that Deku could borrow for the time being. She wasn't sure how well Deku would take to the news of being a girl for the next week, but she knew well enough that the boy was a survivor and would get through it one way or another.
Todoroki sat at Deku's bedside, waiting patiently for the freckled boy- or eh, girl-- to wake up. He gently brushed a lock of unruly dark green hair from Deku's face, tucking it away into other strands.
"You really are reckless, Midoriya." he mumbled. "Asui would be in your position right now if it hadn't been for you....but I suppose that's what you would have done regardless of whoever was in danger. You're a true hero to the end...and that's what makes you so special. It's kind of irritating how you can be so reckless and somehow still inspire others to follow you, but I'm glad that you have that ability. I'd give anything to be able to influence people the way you do, but when you have the ability to throw your pride out the window on a whim, it's understandable why so many people respect you."
Deku stirred slightly in his sleep, head turning to face Todoroki, brows furrowing a bit before green eyes slowly fluttered open. He took a moment to realize he was laying down before he noticed Todoroki sitting beside him.
'Why does he look so worried? Am I hurt that badly?'
Deku moved to sit up, but Todoroki placed a firm hand on his shoulder, holding him down.
"Don't get up." Todoroki said quietly. "I need to explain something to you, alright?"
"Explain what?" Deku asked, looking at the other in confusion, not fully alert just yet. "I didn't get injured that badly, did I?"
"No...injury isn't the problem here." he sighed, turning his head away. "Just take a look at yourself, Midoriya.....that villain changed you."
Deku brought a hand up to touch his face, only to pause when he noticed a much more slender hand reaching toward him. He examined the hand; it had all the same scars he did, but it was feminine. Eyes widening, he glanced down at his body and noticed that his chest looked different, and upon hurriedly peeking into a tear in his clothing, he blushed darkly and squeaked in embarrassment.
"I'm a g-girl?!" he exclaimed. "Ah! M-my voice is different!"
"It would appear so, yes." Todoroki replied, head still turned away as a small blush dusted his own cheeks. "I didn't mean to peek, but your shirt was ripped and it just.....sort of slipped out while I was carrying you."
"N-no, that's...that's fine, I just....." Deku paused, holding his shirt against his chest as he slowly sat up. "Thank you for saving me, Todoroki."
Todoroki nodded, cautiously looking back to Deku. He paused for a long moment before taking off his blazer and leaning over, wrapping it around Deku's shoulders.
"You can borrow that until Recover Girl gets back with a uniform." he mumbled. "Until then, I would rather you remain decent."
Deku nodded and gave a small smile.
"Todoroki, I know you aren't a pervert," he said softly. "So I'm not worried about you having seen part of my body, it was an accident after all. You're my friend, I know you wouldn't prey on me like some creep."
"Thank you for having that much faith in me as a friend, Midoriya." Todoroki replied, giving a soft smile in return. "Recovery Girl is right though....you do make a cute girl."
"I-I do?" Deku asked, blushing slightly at the comment.
Todoroki nodded.
"I hope that doesn't sound too strange, but you do make a very cute girl." he replied.
Deku smiled shyly, tucking a few strands of unruly dark green hair behind his ear.
"Thanks..." he mumbled.
Recovery Girl entered the infirmary at that moment, a packaged uniform under her arm.
"Ah Midoriya, good to see you awake." she greeted, moving over to the cot. "I have a new uniform for you, though I will have to ask Todoroki to kindly leave so that you can get dressed."
Todoroki smiled faintly and got up from his chair, heading toward the door.
"I'll be waiting outside for you, Midoriya." he said softly.
Deku waved to him as he walked away, turning to Recovery Girl after the icy hot hero left.
"So um...new uniform?" Deku asked.
"Yes, well there are some other new items of clothing for you since you will temporarily be a girl for the next few days to a week." Recovery Girl explained. "One of your friends was kind enough to lend some undergarments for you, let's just hope that they fit alright."
"Friend? Who?" Deku asked.
"Your classmate, Uraraka, she's a very kind girl." Recovery Girl replied. "I briefly explained your situation to her and she was kind enough to lend you a bra and extra pair of underwear from her gym bag. She feels bad for you having to go through this."
"Oh...that's nice of her." he mumbled.
"Do you need help getting dressed?" Recovery Girl asked. "I know that all of this must be quite embarrassing for you, but I'm here to help if you need it."
"I'll try to figure it out for myself first!" Deku replied quickly, a dark blush painting his cheeks.
Recovery Girl nodded and handed him the uniform before pulling the privacy curtain around the cot Deku was in.
"Remember, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." she said as she sat down at her desk. "Just speak up if you need help."
Deku sighed and opened the uniform package, which he noted had been previously opened so that the undergarments he was lent could be stuffed inside. He felt nervous to even touch the garments.
'These are Uraraka's....I really need to thank her for this when I see her.'
After several long moments of sitting there, examining the contents of the package, Deku finally got up and pulled off the blazer Todoroki had lent him before slowly taking off the torn up uniform he was currently wearing. He was understandably nervous to see what his body looked like now that it was temporarily female, and once fully shirtless, he embarrassingly took note of how his breasts added some weight to his chest.
'Would I be a pervert to touch these? No, this is still my body, I shouldn't be afraid of touching my own body, right? God, why does this have to be so embarrassing?'
Deku hesitantly cupped his breasts, feeling the soft flesh in is hands and the weight of them before giving them a tentative squeeze. Oddly enough, it felt kind of nice to squeeze them, like it was calming in a really weird way. He shook his head and let go of his breasts, figuring he would worry about them later and just hurry up to get dressed. kicking off his shoes and tugging off his pants and boxers, he didn't even bother to look down at his nether regions, only noting that he did not have the familiar weight of his dick and balls between his legs; he continued by quickly pulling on the panties that Uraraka had kindly provided for him to borrow, feeling odd when the fabric slid up to fit flush with his crotch and hug his butt, which he also noted was more...rounded than usual. He was a bit surprised by his more slender legs as he slid on the uniform skirt, admiring how nice they looked, or at least in his opinion they did. Moving on to the bra, Deku took a moment to mentally figure out how to put it on before figuring out the best way to do it, which was to clip it together with the furthest out hooks on the back strap, then slip his arms through the arm straps and tug it up until it fit over his breasts.
'Oh god, it barely fits...are my boobs really bigger than Uraraka's?!'
Deku blushed and quickly pulled on the shirt, tucked it into the skirt, and put on the blazer before slipping his shoes back on and hastily putting on his tie before he forgot. He shyly pulled back the privacy curtain when he was done and grabbed the package that he had stuffed his previous clothing into.
"My, my, you look adorable." Recovery Girl said, smiling softly. "Does everything fit alright?"
"Yeah, most of it does..." Deku mumbled. "The uh, the bra is a little tight, but I can make do with it for now."
"Good, you can leave your other clothes here for now and pick them up later." the woman replied, holding a hand out for the package Deku was holding. "no point in carrying that around all day."
Deku nodded and handed her the package.
"Thank you, Recovery Girl." he said quietly.
Deku quickly grabbed Todoroki's blazer and exited the infirmary, finding the icy hot hero leaning against the wall opposite the door with his eyes closed.
Todoroki opened his eyes as soon as he heard the door open, half wondering if he had fallen asleep, because the cute girl standing before him most certainly could not have been more breathtaking.
"You look beautiful." he said softly.
Deku blushed and nervously held out the blazer to Todoroki.
"Th-thank you....and thank you for letting me borrow your jacket." he uttered, glancing away shyly. "It f-feels weird wearing a skirt.....I don't know how girls handle feeling so exposed all the time like this."
"Ah Midoriya, you do have that skirt pulled up a little high." Todoroki mumbled, pushing off the wall.
Todoroki took his blazer and slipped it on before gently placing his hands on Deku's waist and finding the top of the skirt, which he pulled down a bit further so that it wasn't practically one little bend over away from showing Deku's panties.
"Ah T-Todoroki, what are you doing?!" Deku squeaked, blushing darkly.
Todoroki pulled his hands away and gave a warm smile.
"I apologize, but I didn't want others to look at you perversely with having your skirt pulled up so high." he replied softly.
'Todoroki is so.....sweet. I can't believe he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, any girl would be extremely lucky to have a guy like him.'
"Todoroki? Why don't you have a girlfriend?" Deku asked abruptly, mentally cursing himself for blurting the question out loud.
"I haven't had that kind of interest in anyone yet." Todoroki replied simply with a shrug.
Deku nodded in understanding and gave a bright smile.
"Well, whenever you do get one, they'll be the luckiest girl alive!" he beamed.
Todoroki blushed at the kind words, glancing away with a quick nod.
"We better get going to class, I'm sure the others are worried about you." he mumbled, turning around and picking up Deku's backpack off the floor from next to where he was previously leaning against the wall. "Uraraka brought your backpack by before she went to class."
Deku nodded, reaching out for his backpack, but Todoroki put it over his own shoulder and took Deku's hand instead, lightly tugging him along to get to class. Another late student passed them in the hall, glancing Deku up and down with interest and gave a smirk as they made an attempt to flip up Deku's skirt when they passed by, however Todoroki pulled Deku closer to himself and blasted a small shot of ice onto the floor, causing the offending student to slip and fall on their ass with a yelp. Todoroki hurriedly guided Deku to their classroom, much to Deku's relief, and opened the door for him.
All eyes were on Deku and Todoroki the second the door was opened, their fellow classmates staring at them in silence before Uraraka and Asui came rushing up to Deku and pulled him into a hug.
"Midoriya, we were so worried about you!" Asui croaked out.
"Deku, are you alright? Do the clothes fit okay?" Uraraka asked, looking both concerned and happy that her friend was okay.
"U-um, I'm fine..." Deku mumbled, giving a shy smile as he lightly patted Asui's head and gave Uraraka a thumbs up. "And th-thanks for the spare clothing, Uraraka. The top is a little small on me, but I can deal for now."
"I'm sorry, Deku, I didn't know if it would be too big or too small, I just assumed that it would be an average size." Uraraka mumbled, blushing slightly at the mention of it; she was genuinely surprised that her previously male friend had bigger breasts than her, but she also felt a bit self conscious since that meant her own were small in comparison.
The other girls wandered over and pulled Deku further into the classroom, Todoroki smiling to himself as he watched them fawn over how cute Deku was as a girl, complimenting how he looked and playing with his hair. Deku could only sit at his desk with the girls crowded around him, a sheepish smile playing at his lips as he was helpless to do anything else. At some point, Ashido had pulled out a hair brush and had pulled Deku's hair into a low ponytail, fixing a red bow just above it as a way of making him look cuter. Todoroki sat down at his own desk and couldn't help but take in the sight before him, thinking about how adorable Deku was like this.
A sudden loud boom broke the girls' attention away from Deku and they immediately backed away a bit when Bakugou approached Deku's desk, looking more than pissed off.
"What kind of game are you trying to pull, Deku?!" Bakugou snapped, slamming his hands on the desk, where small crackles sparked against the wood and singed it. "You think it's funny to dress up like a girl, you little pervert? Those boobs are so fake, they're too big!"
Deku looked nervous as hell, putting his hands up to show that he meant no harm, but knowing Bakugou, it wouldn't make a bit of difference and he would probably get his ass kicked regardless. He stuttered out broken responses, trying to explain himself, but of course, Bakugou wouldn't let him get a single sentence out.
Bakugou reached out and grabbed one of Deku's breasts, squeezing it hard as if to prove how fake it was, but Deku yelped and grabbed Bakugou's wrist, trying to pull the offending hand away, because the way Bakugou was squeezing really hurt.
A loud smack echoed through the classroom and everything abruptly went silent, all eyes suddenly on Kirishima. The red headed hero looked utterly pissed off, panting as he slowly lowered his hand.
"Kirishima..." one of the girls murmured.
Bakugou stood stock still, his head turned to the side from the force of the slap he had just received. His cheek bloomed in bright red as the sting settled in and prickled angrily at his skin, his matching red eyes shifting to look at Kirishima, who had pulled Deku against his chest protectively. Bakugou slowly turned his head to look directly at Kirishima, disbelief written in his features, quickly followed by an array of other emotions as he noticed the feeling of several eyes glaring at him from around the classroom. Normally Bakugou wouldn't care what others thought of him, but he knew at this point that he had definitely crossed a line he shouldn't have.
Deku whimpered when Bakugou looked at him, quickly hiding his face in Kirishima's shoulder as the red head held him closer. He couldn't look at Bakugou right now, a whole new sense of fear bubbling up in the pit of his stomach that he was very unfamiliar with. Up until now, Deku realized, he had never had anyone try to touch him like Bakugou just did, and it sparked a new realization in him; whether Bakugou realized it or not, he had just sexually harassed Deku, and it had frightened Deku in a way he had never felt before.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Bakugou?" Kirishima muttered. "Do you know how uncool and unmanly that was? I don't care who it is or what gender they are, it is never okay to touch someone like that without their permission, especially in a public place. Couldn't you see how much it was hurting Midoriya? He's not dressing up or pretending, he's really a girl right now, and if you had been paying attention when Uraraka was explaining the situation to the rest of us, then you would have known that he is like this because of a villain's quirk."
One by one, the girls put themselves between Kirishima and Bakugou, forming a small barricade.
"That was very mean of you, Bakugou." Asui mumbled.
"Yeah, what kind of guy goes around squeezing girls' boobs like that? so disrespectful!" Ashido huffed, crossing her arms.
"Bakugou, I think it's best you go." Uraraka said lowly. "For everyone's sake."
Bakugou was hesitant to move, but he grabbed his backpack and glanced at Deku through the small blockade of girls, even though Deku was being held and comforted by Kirishima at the moment. He knew he had fucked up big time, and for the first time in his life, he actually looked guilty.
"Deku.....I'm sorry." Bakugou said quietly, lingering for a moment before shuffling out of the classroom.
Deku kept himself hidden in Kirishima's arms for a while after Bakugou left, the girls going back to their own seats while Kirishima patiently waited for Deku to calm down, rubbing soothing circles into Deku's back and humming softly. A few more minutes went by before Deku pulled back slightly, looking at Kirishima.
"Thank you...." he said quietly. "Thank you for saving me. I know Bakugou is your best friend, so I know that must have been hard on you."
"Hey, it's a hero's job to protect people from bad things." Kirishima replied softly. "Don't worry about me, okay? I'm pretty mad at Bakugou right now for hurting you like that, so I'm not worried about having smacked him for it. Speaking of that, does it still hurt?"
Deku nodded, blushing slightly.
"I think there might be bruises later..." he mumbled. "But I'll be okay."
"Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?" Kirishima asked.
"No, I just came from there anyway." Deku sighed. "I don't want to go back so soon."
Kirishima nodded in understanding and let go of Deku, smiling brightly.
"Well, if you need anything, don't be afraid to text me." the red headed hero said. "I'll be at your service any time you need it. You could message me at two in the morning and I wouldn't care, I mean it."
"That's very nice of you, Kirishima, thank you," Deku replied. "But your sleep is more important than any problems I might have."
"Not going to change my mind." Kirishima chuckled, patting Deku on the shoulder. "In all seriousness, you look really cute as a girl...so if any guy tries to harass you, let me know right away and I'll come deal with them, alright?"
Deku nodded and smiled softly.
"Alright." Deku said quietly, taking his seat once more. "Let's eat lunch together, yeah?"
"Heck yeah!" Kirishima grinned, giving a thumbs up.
Mr. Aizawa entered the classroom silently and stood behind his desk at the front of the room, waiting for a long moment before speaking.
"Where is Bakugou?" he asked, his voice carrying the same monotone drawl it always had, although with a hint of irritation and, dare anyone say it, concern.
"Mr. Aizawa? Bakugou left." Uraraka replied. "He was acting inappropriately toward Deku, so we collectively agreed that it would be best if he left for today."
"And what exactly did Bakugou do?" the teacher asked.
"He touched Midoriya inappropriately." Asui answered.
Mr. Aizawa went quiet for a moment before moving on to teaching class without further question. He understood well enough that Deku would likely feel more comfortable if the subject were dropped and he didn't pry, even if a part of him wanted to. Recovery Girl had filled him in on what had happened to Deku, so he wasn't surprised to see the boy sitting in his usual seat as a girl instead, and given Deku's female body type, Aizawa had a feeling that he could roughly guess what might have transpired before he showed up. He noted how all of the female students would occasionally cast a glance Deku's way as if to check on him; Todoroki and Kirishima would also cast the occasional glance, but they were more discreet about it than the girls were. Aizawa could already tell that this week was going to be one huge hassle, and not just for himself.
