Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

He is a stranger.

 

The familiar ding of a bell chimes, echoes through the almost silent room, interrupting the peace as the door opens with a small swing.

 

Izuku watches as the same man enters the cafe at the same time, everyday. He doesn't know when it became a routine for him to gawk and stare at someone. 

 

He shook his head, focusing on petting the cat on his lap. 

 

He doesn't know why he stares at the man. The black haired man just looks familiar. Like Izuku has seen him somewhere before. 

 

It doesn't matter. 

 

Soft music plays in the background, sunlight filtering through the window as cats lay around, lazy and asleep under the sun.

 

His favorite book stays on the table, the bookmark sticking out. Next to it is his cup of coffee.

 

"May I join you?" A voice interrupts him.

 

Izuku looks up to find the same man, a white scarf covering half his face. He raises an eyebrow in reply.

 

"Okay?" He tilts his head in a questioning manner.

 

The cat jumps down from his lap, trotting towards the man, her tail swishing in a mocking manner.

 

Izuku pouts. The cat left him for that stranger.

 

He takes a sip of his coffee before pushing his round glasses on his nose from the top of his head and opens the book again.

 

The man takes out his mobile and starts to do something in it.

 

The silence between them is not uncomfortable.

 

"Well, I am sorry but do I know you?" Izuku asks, interrupting the man as he closes his book again, crossing his legs.

 

"I don't believe we have met but maybe..." The man trails off, his eyes glued to Izuku's arm, right where a patch of small flowers rest. 

 

Izuku follows his eyes and stares at his soulmark - a patch of grey flowers. He looks back at the man questioningly. 

 

The man raises his hand and pushes his sleeve back, showing the exact same flowers in the exact same position.

 

Izuku gasps.

 

"We share the same soulmarks. Our main flower - primroses, they mean eternal love." The man states.

 

Izuku grabs his hand and pulls him closer, watching in awe as their grey soulmarks turn colorful.

 

"Red roses are for desire. I don't know what your black rose is for." Izuku explains, his eyes still glued on the soulmarks. He furrows his brows as he tries to remember.

 

"I have an alyssum here while you have an amaranth. It explains our feelings - mine means 'worth beyond beauty' and yours is 'everlasting love'. We both share honeysuckles as well." The man adds, his finger tracing the daisies on Izuku's arm.

 

"I have a daisy while you have a yellow rose here." Izuku muses, pointing at the flowers. 

 

The man nods slightly as Izuku lets go of his arm.

 

"Sorry about that." Izuku smiles sheepishly after he realizes that he had grabbed a man. The man shakes his head in reply.

 

"Its okay. I am Shouta Aizawa, by the way. Call me Shouta." The man- Shouta finally gives him his name.

 

"I am Izuku Midoriya. Please call me Izuku." Izuku smiles back in reply.

 

"I have to leave now but here is my number. Let's meet again, on the weekend." 

 

Izuku nods in reply as he takes the slip of paper from Shouta.

 

"Okay."

 

"Good. Its a date." And with that, Shouta leaves the cafe.

 

Izuku blinks in surprise. Shouta may be his soulmate but Izuku still gets this weird vibe from him.

 

But the flowers on his wrist only show positivity, and the flowers are never wrong.

 

He decides to google about black and yellow roses later. His mind wandering back to Shouta.

 

He is a stranger.

Notes:

The honeysuckle symbolizes devoted and everlasting love

Red roses symbolize love and desire

Black roses signify mystery, danger, obsession

Yellow roses are for jealousy

Alyssum means worth beyond beauty, or insanity

Amaranth is everlasting love

Daisies are for innocence

Chapter 2

Notes:

Currently,
Izuku is 21 and Shouta is 25

Also, people have their soulmarks since birth

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

"I am Hero for all : Nova!"

 

 

21 years ago 

 

The cries of her child jolt her awake, panting and covered in sweat, Inko can't help but cry as well.

 

With the death of her husband last month, still fresh in her mind, she holds the baby close, sniffing loudly.

 

"If we have a boy then we will name him Izuku!"

 

"Izuku." Inko echoes and her baby holds her finger with all his might.

 

The doctors hand her the tiny little baby, so small and delicate that Inko is afraid to even touch him. Her son, Izuku, is red and wrinkly but oh so adorable.

 

Inko sniffs again, staring at the small marks on her baby's both wrists and shoulders. A patch of flowers for his romantic soulmate on one hand while a patch of blue baby's breath on another. The grey flowers turn blue as Inko's right wrist's grey flowers bloom into a beautiful yellow.

 

They both had the same flowers - baby's breath - and Inko's were yellow which signify light and joy.

 

Yes. Izuku is her life's light and joy.

 

Inko cries again.

 

 

17 years ago

 

Four year old Izuku stares at himself in the mirror, his All Might t-shirt thrown to the side as he traces his tiny thin finger over the flowers on his shoulder.

 

Three out of his four soulmarks are yet to bloom. The flowers on his left shoulder are related to four people - his platonic soulmates and future friends.

 

The flowers on his right shoulder are for his future child and another parental figure. Izuku still hasn't figured it out but he knows that the unbloomed buds are of his future child while the grey bloomed flowers are of his new parent.

 

He wishes that his parental soulmate will be All Might! How cool would that be?

 

One wrist has flowers for his mother and the other has flowers for his future romantic partner. He shakes his head.

 

Izuku's face turns red. He has a romantic partner! Like mommy had daddy.

 

He can't wait to have all his soulmarks gain color!

 

"Izuku!!!" His mother's voice calls out to him. "Time to go!" 

 

Izuku haphazardly throws the t-shirt on and rushes out. He was going to see a quirk spe-cial-ist for his quirk! He wonders what his quirk will be and it made him feel all tingly. Mommy told him that he could be a hero!

 

Izuku giggled. "Coming mommy!"

 

 

6 years ago

 

Izuku stares at the gates of UA, all high and intimidating. He gulps loudly. 

 

His half-bloomed soulmark on his shoulder tingles lightly. Toshinori sent him some encouragement through the soulmark. 

 

The sunflowers glow sightly under the white shirt.

 

Yes, All Might is his parental soulmate. How cool is that?! And he has his quirk as well. 

 

Poor little quirkless deku

 

Izuku rises his chin up, standing taller, a bit prouder as he steps into UA.

 

His hero journey has finally began!

 

 

1 year ago

 

Izuku has been feeling strange lately. Like someone is always watching him. 

 

He shivered slightly as he continues his walk home. Must have been the wind.

 

He doesn't think about how his house is mostly unlocked whenever he reaches home when he swore that he closed it when he was leaving.

 

He doesn't think about his missing things. He must have misplaced them.

 

He doesn't think about the feeling of always being watched when he is clearly alone.

 

He is a hero! He shouldn't worry about random things. He can handle himself. Danger sense cannot detect anything so nothing is wrong. He shakes his head.

 

Paranoia is an ugly thing.

 

He smiles as he enters his home as his pet cat - a brown furry little menace - Coffee greets him by rubbing his head all over his legs and meowing for pets.

 

Everything is okay.

Notes:

Butter Yellow Baby's Breath mean light and joy.

Blue Baby’s Breath symbolize loyalty, sincerity, confidence, wisdom, faith, and sincerity.

Sunflowers signify admiration, peace and happiness.

(Izuku has OFA - he was quirkless before it - and has unlocked the rest of its quirks as well)

"Sup."

 

Izuku turns around, glaring at the man in blue who just decided to jump on him.

 

"Touya." 

 

"It's Dabi during work hours, babe." Touya winks and Izuku rolls his eyes in reply. 

 

"Whatever, your shift ended 15 minutes ago." He huffs.

 

"Well, won't you let me in? You sent me a fucking 'sos' in the group chat."

 

"Oh." Izuku blinks before grabbing his friend by his arm and pulling him into his house.

 

On the sofa sat Yu Takeyama, Izuku's second platonic soulmate. They both had graduated UA from the same class. 

 

Izuku throws Touya next to her.

 

"If you are hungry then go back home. I got nothing for you little shits."

 

"But I don't get paid much! Why else would I come to see you if its not for the food?" Yu whined. Touya rolled his eyes. "Broke people." He mumbled.

 

"Hey! Daddy's money. Don't pass comments." 

 

Touya rolled his eyes again.

 

Yu's flower was a white camellia while Touya had a red one. The other two flowers remained grey.

 

"So well...I found my soulmate!" Izuku states, rolling up his sleeve and showing the now colored soulmark. He smiled hesitantly.

 

Yu jumped up from the couch, squealing. "That's so cool!" She raised her hands in the air.

 

"So are they a creep?" Touya began.

 

"Followed you home?"

 

"Threatened your position as a hero?"

 

"Are planning to kidnap you?"

 

"Uhh- guys..."

 

"Decided to not be your soulmate?"

 

Yu gasps. "No one can say no to this hunk of meat!" She turns towards Izuku. "Are they hot?"

 

"Or cold?" Touya jokes.

 

"Please~ they gotta be nice."

 

"Nice? Who even-"

 

"Guys!" Izuku finally gets their attention. 

 

"My soulmate is a man. His name is Aizawa Shouta. That's all I know."

 

"Do you think he knows that you are a hero?" Yu asked as she wandered around, walking towards the kitchen. "I am hungry." She mumbled.

 

"That name is familiar." Touya hummed. 

 

"Please don't let him be some mafia boss." Izuku sighed. Touya was an underground hero like him, despite his attention-grabbing flashy quirk.

 

Izuku was an underground hero because of All for One. And he doesn't really like attention, well anxiety sucks. Besides, he doesn't mind not getting fame, he just wants to save people with a smile.

 

"Oh no he isn't. I think I have got an idea. Leave it be." Touya snorted.

 

"But knowing your luck-" Yu wandered back in, her words muffled by a piece of bread.

 

"Hey! It wasn't that bad!"

 

"Izuku, your last ex stalked you for years to be with you before magically disappearing." Touya blinked.

 

Izuku laughed hesitantly at that. "I know. But...I want my soulmate to be a nice person, you know?" He said as he snatched the piece of bread from Yu and took a bite.

 

"Hey! I was hungry!" Yu pouted. "Anyway, your life sucks in the love department. But well, your soulmate should be cool since the flowers on your wrist are really positive."

 

Izuku nodded.

 

"I am going on a date with him tomorrow."

 

Touya and Yu both shrieked in unison.

Chapter Text

The date is in a small cozy cafe, modern interior and lavender like smell. It was a good one.

 

He entered the cafe, the chime of the bell signalling his entrance. Izuku smiled softly, dusting his already clean clothes in anticipation. He felt slightly awkward. 

 

He looked around for the familiar black haired man but found nothing. His soulmark sent tingles all over him, it was his mother sending love and happiness to relax his nerves. 

 

It didnt help him for the fact that his platonic soulmates were sending him some sensual feels, just to mess with him.

 

"Um sir...?" The barista near the cash register called out, interrupting Izuku from embarrassing himself in public. 

 

"Oh sorry." Izuku smiled sheepishly, finally moving away from the front gate and choosing a seat near the corner. 

 

He sits down on a table for two and waits. All Shouta had told him was the date, place and time. 

 

What if...his soulmate hated him and did this as a joke?!

 

Izuku sighed as he felt his mother reprimanding him about his thoughts. 

 

Another chime echoes through the bright yellow cafe and Shouta enters it, his eyes searching for Izuku.

 

Izuku stares at the man's outfit and realizes that - holy shit - his favorite hero is his soulmate! Eraserhead is his soulmate. His favorite hero is-

 

Suddenly, Touya laughing at him makes much more sense. 

 

"Hello." The man greets with a slight nod before he sits down in front of Izuku. 

 

Izuku - still very starstruck - replies with a nod. "Umm hi."

 

"I don't expect you to date me." Shouta begins. Izuku blinked in surprise.

 

"You don't?"

 

Shouta shook his head. "I don't. It would be pretty illogical for me to do so. I cannot expect you to date me just because." He gestures towards the soulmarks.

 

Izuku nods, "That's very considerate of you." He smiles. "I am glad about that. Let's start with introductions. I am Izuku Midoriya, Pro Hero Nova-" his voice drops down in a whisper to not alert anyone else in the cafe. Shouta nods. "-I am 21 and my favorite hero is Eraserhead." 

 

"Well then." Shouta replies, masking his surprise quicker than most could. "I am Shouta Aizawa, 25, Pro Hero Eraserhead and I like cats." He replies smoothly.

 

"I love cats." Izuku smiles widely. "I have one, her name is Coffee. She is a little menace." He explains fondly, opening his mobile to show Shouta a picture of his pet. 

 

The conversation flows smoothly, no eerie feeling or weirdness - much to Izuku's surprise. 

 

Izuku finds out that Shouta has a pet tabby named Sushi, he has already met his four platonic soulmates, he doesn't have a parental one but two children for that, both he hadn't met. 

 

Overall, the meeting was pleasant and Izuku relaxed with each word spoken into the conversation. They exchanged phone numbers before leaving.

 

 

Private chat in between Shouta and Izuku

 

Shouta : Hey, this is Shouta.

 

Izuku : Izuku here!

Today was fun! Thank you (=^･^=)

Notes:

I hope you enjoyed this! The story has just begun :)

Chapter Text

21 years ago

 

Four year old Shouta Aizawa has just got his quirk, a week ago in fact.

 

A villain. They had called him for something he cannot control. His eyes hurt from not being able to shut his quirk off.

 

A demon child. His mother had screamed.

 

He likes to think that he likes his quirk. He may even become a hero with it!

 

Maybe he shouldn't. 

 

But his mommy has left him in an or-phan-age and told him to wait for someone better.

 

He doesn't understand why.

 

Being dragged by his arm, the service worker takes him to meet his new parent.

 

He doesn't want a new parent.

 

He tightens the grip on his soft toy. A green kitten with big green eyes, his favorite. The only thing he has of his mommy. He wants his mommy back.

 

He frowns before he stares at the person in front of him. His new parent.

 

His new parent was a mouse. A big white mouse in a suit.

 

He blinks, not believing his eyes.

 

"Am I a mouse? a dog? or a bear? It doesn't matter! What matters is that I am your new parent!" 

 

Oh wow.

 

 

10 years ago

 

Shouta is finally in the hero course after defeating all these privileged golden kids. 

 

The sports festival was a blast for him, he could still hear his father cackling like a madman after he has won.

 

Yes, His dad is Nedzu. The principal of UA.

 

Then he meets Hizashi, Oboro, Tensei and Nemuri. His four platonic soulmates.

 

He suddenly has something to hold on.

 

Something his.

 

 

1 year ago

 

Shouta traces over his romantic soulmark, a lazy smile on his face as his adorable black kitten rests on his back.

 

A small ding from his mobile pulls him out of his thoughts.

 

Pro Hero Manual dating an underground hero!?

 

He blinks at the news article, staring at the other man in the picture.

 

The man has green hair, looks younger than him. 

 

But his soulmark.

 

It is the same as Shouta's.

 

Shouta's eyes widen. His soulmate...was with someone else? He frowns.

 

That can't be right.

 

Shouta will fix it himself.

Notes:

And thus, the prologue for this series ends! The next part will take place five years in the future and I will be introducing class 1-A.
