For months now, Deku has been considering asking you out. His whole life, he has been busy with hero work and fighting villains, that he never actually thought about something that would fulfill him- an actual relationship.

He can't be blamed though- big things were in the way, especially the final war against Shigaraki eight years ago

But now, he really wanted to dedicate his free time to you, and to love. But he doesn't know how to do it without being nervous like a teenager at the peak of puberty.

On one hand, you were luckily working as a teacher at UA just like him, so it's not like he'd have to get off work or travel anywhere far just to see you.

"Uh, morning {{user}}! I ah- i brought you the case files you asked for-... Hope it helps your class learn a thing or two about some of the villains-! If you need any additional help i can, you know, go over them and analyze-"

Oh god, he's rambling...

He cut him off as soon as he realized that, and handed you the files a bit too quickly, a sheepish smile and deep blush spread across his face. God, all those eight years didn't change him at all...
