“So,” Nedzu says slowly, a grin stretching across his face. “I’ve noticed you’ve been giving food and drinks to many heroes and many not so heroic people. And I’ve noticed that all of them either had something against the Hero Commission or have recently developed something against the Hero Commission.”
“Really?” Izuku asks with a curious tilt of his head. “I never noticed.”
“Oh, I think you did.” Nedzu leaves forward a glint in his eye. “You, Midoriya Izuku, are a very smart human and I highly doubt much of anything gets past you.”
Izuku keeps his face neutral as he neatly folds his hands in his lap. “I’m glad you think so highly of me, but I’m only 16 sir, I’m not that perceptive.”
Nedzu laughs. It sounded deranged and unnatural, like he was trying to hard to sound normal.
“I want to know what you’re planning, because you are planning something I just can’t probe it yet. I think we could help each other.”
“I think, you’re looking too deep into it sir,” Izuku states. “I’m really not planning anything. I just happen to stumble across a lot of people and like to share my food. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m visiting my mom this weekend and really don’t want to be late for dinner.”
Izuku stands up and grabs his backpack. He smiles at Nedzu who is still grinning at him.
“I will talk to you later sir, this has really been a pleasure. Have a good day.”
“You as well Midoriya-kun.”
Izuku carefully closes the door to Nedzu office. He takes a deep breath shaking his hands out as he does. He debates for a moment if he should go through with today’s feeding, before ultimately deciding “of course I fucking should”.
Izuku honestly expected Nedzu to approach him at some point and was going to except his help. But he came to Izuku to early, he didn’t have all the players he needed and didn’t have the plan absolutely perfected yet. It was annoying that he had to deny the help, but he wasn’t ready for Nedzu’s help yet. He needed a few more people. A few very popular people.
Izuku hums absentmindedly as he walks through the streets spinning a pen between his fingers as he read through his notebook once again. Endeavor wouldn’t except actual food from some random hero student, so Izuku was going to feed his ego (not really, he was just asking for a autograph). And then give him food of course. Izuku always gave food in the end, it was his thing.
Izuku grinned when he spotted Endeavor.“Target acquired,” he mumbles to himself a speed walks over to the flaming hero. He quickly flips to a blank page in his notebook and clicks his pen open.
“Endeavor-san!” Izuku calls smiling brightly at the hero. “Could I please have your autograph sir!”
Endeavor frowns at Izuku but takes the notebook and pen anyway.
“You’re one of Shoto’s friends.” Endeavor says as he quickly signs the page and hands it back.
Izuku blinks, that was an unexpected, but he’ll roll with it.
“I am!” Izuku says brightly, proudly. He is actually very proud he’s one of the few considered one of Shoto’s friends. Especially since he can steal Endeavor’s credit card and by himself food every now and again.
“humph,” is all Endeavor says in response. He hands Izuku back his pen and notebook. He holds it them to his chest like they’re the best thing in the world.
“Thank you sir!” Izuku exclaims. “I also have something for you.”
Endeavor stares at Izuku. “Really?”
Izuku fishes around in his backpack and pulls out a container. He quickly hands it over to Endeavor with a smile. The flaming hero stares through the clear lid at the food inside.
“kuzumochi,” Endeavor mumbles softly. He looks at Izuku an unreadable expression on his face. “You made this?”
“Yes sir!” Izuku smiles.
“Oh,” Endeavor mumbles. “My mother used to make this for me all the time… Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Izuku says wide eyed. Damn, he accidently hit Endeavor right in the feels. And he was feeling enough to actually say thank you.
“Well!” Izuku says suddenly, snapping Endeavor harshly out of whatever reminiscing he was doing. “Thank you so much for the signature. Have a great day! Byeee!!”
Izuku practically sprints away. That was so weird.
Breaking: Teen makes Endeavor feel things after giving him food! I didn’t know that man could feel anything than anger!
Omakes
Izuku later that day: You want to burn you father’s signature?
Dabi: Hell yeah.
/\/\/\/\/\
Izuku: SHOTO YOU DIDN’T TELL ME YOUR FATHER HAD FEELINGS!!!
Todoroki: He doesn’t?

Endeavor later that day: *crying as he eats the kuzumochi*
/\/\/\/\
Izuku: I made Endeavor cry…. Fuck yeah.
