Izuku knew a LOT of things for his age. When thinking he couldn’t become a hero, he was on the internet for a while. Which leads to this: Izuku Midoriya standing in front of his camera. All of his classmate’s would expect izuku to be innocent and not even question.. things? But boy were they wrong. Izuku dealt with bullying A LOT in middle school but all he wanted to do was fit in. So this is why he had unrestricted access to the internet. His mum understood.
Obviously Izuku came across other things like omegle, gacha life?(whatever that was) and then finally tiktok.
Life in UA was boring no one did anything so Izuku decided to make a tiktok account. He would go on live sometimes and talk to his viewers but as this was far away from school, he had nothing to hide. He didn’t have to hide his multiple piercings, the eyeliner he liked to wear (that was considered unmanly in the hero society) and his actual sense of style. Izuku obviously knows how to dress but he has no reason to, hes not exactly hiding it but its more of a precaution.
On his tiktok account he has 40k followers and non of them being class1A as he made sure to block them all. Izuku always had a bubbly smile and made sure to always act happy around others but with social media, you don’t have to pretend. Though many people would say that social media ‘corrupts’ you, they are wrong. Izuku has never not felt himself whilst making a video.
He has had tiktok since the start of UA so there was no surprise to the new ridiculous trends. What was really popular right now was thirst traps. The first sighting of it actually made Izuku feel amused so thats why he tried making one.
He showed of his septum and tongue piercing as he stared deeply into the camera. It was a transition to where Izukus hair was completely messed up in a good way and his shirt was off. His usually doe eyes where relaxed and his usual bright smile was replaced with a handsome smirk that would resembled bakugou.
He flashed his fangs in the video once more and ended it with him placing a blunt in his mouth. He was surprised he hasn’t got banned yet as he showed it all ,pills, cigarettes, joints, alcohol. He obviously didn’t pick these up from social media but picked up these habits from middle school.
Everything was shitty then and he would unusually scowl if you question him about it. He wasn’t suicidal or depressed but was quite content with his life, building up to be a hero and gaining rivals on the way.
Izuku played the finished video to make sure it looked okay and he was baffled at how hot it made him look. The way his pecks shimmered aswell as his eyes when he had his tongue out. He was impressed so he posted the video.
The rest of his videos were just regular i would say. He does not know how to dance and will never know so he didn’t even attempt that nor edits as people are so amazing at it and izuku knows that not his particular skill.
He got called plain all his life but getting thousands of compliments on his videos made him feel warm inside.
Its just comments on his previous videos like;
Rue @rueisntcool11– bro i would kill to have your features 🫣 .
serena @user9292710– i wanna be youuursss 🥹
isaac @gokusolos622– bros gorgeous
cass @nottcass— smash.
rin @activelyyours— your ass tho 😍
Especially the last one; that made him happy. Compliments like this had him smiling and kicking his feet.
His videos were really popular as people liked his ‘edgyness’
whilst Izuku was waiting for his video to upload, he flipped his septum up and put a retainer on his tongue. (Aswell as putting in a shirt)
He strutted downstairs and came in contact with Mina.
“Hey midoriya! how have you been?” She asked.
“Oh! you know just the usual!”
“Alright well we are having a sleepover just me ‘n the girls! wann join?”
Izuku always got invited the girls sleepover, though he doesn’t really know why. Whenever he joins they do his skincare, apply a face mask, do his hair or his makeup. Its a really fun experience as the girls seem content whilst doing so.
“Of course. I’ll be there” he replied
Mina jumped in the air and clapped her hands excitedly. “Great! i’ll let the girls know you’re coming”
Izuku gave a nod in response as she walked away. They didn’t know about his tiktok account nor his piercings but they still loved him no matter what.
Izuku headed downstairs to make a snack, he rummaged through the cabinets to find something edible. He decided to bake something and before that he entered the common room.
“Anyone wanna help me bake?”
“Nah sorry dude, this new console just came out and we HAVE to play” kirishma replied.
“Ah! I see, thats fine” as he said that Bakugou walked in. “Hey kacchan, help me bake?”
Bakugou snarled in response and Izuku took that as a no.
Not many people in the school enjoyed baking or cooking, but there was definitely people who was good at it. Like Bakugou and Izuku. Izuku always used to help his mom as his mother is single and they didn’t have much money. He would help her with baked goods for the neighbours and meals for dinner. Bakugou has always been good at cooking but no one really knows how. He isn’t the type of guy to follow recipes. Bakugou did help Uraraka that one time at camp but no one else after that. That was probably because they were forced to cook.
Izuku eventually gave up asking everyone and walked into the kitchen. He took the brownie mix out and began preparing the ingredients. Cocoa powder, eggs, butter, sugar and flour. Once the mix was finally done he oiled the tray and poured the mixture into it. Finally he placed the tray in the oven and smiled to himself.
He took out his phone and noticed an hour had went by. He opened tiktok and found that his video had been uploaded and got 10k likes. He scrolled through the comments and his mood brightened by 100.
kali @koko77– RAIL ME.
kei @waaah2– YOUR ABS. I-
rana @user0183– hes bufff 💪🏽💪🏽
shay @shaylvs— WOAH IZU
nailah @naihehe— *gets on knees* 🥹
Okay at least the thirst trap was thirst trapping? Izuku smirked as he read the rest of the comments. There was 1 or 2 hate ones but they were shut down with the replies to them. Izuku loves his fans and loves how they loved him.
He was scrolling on tiktok for another 50 minutes until the oven went off. He placed his phone down and ran to the brownies. He took and oven mit and placed the hot-gooey-goodness onto the cooling rack. The smell was soo good that kaminari came crawling into the kitchen.
Izuku laughed to himself as he heard a bing on his phone.
He opened it to see a message from Mina saying;
pinky!- sleepovers cancelled :( sorry mido
Izuku had a couple of questions but didn’t pay it any attention. He brung the treats to the common room and distributed the brownies with the class. Once he was satisfied, he strutted upstairs into his dorm room.
In the atmosphere of being alone, he put all of his piercings back on and cleaned the unhealed ones with treatment to avoid infection.
He yawned and put his phone on charge. He got comfortable in his bed, ignoring all of the messages on his phone.
Izuku woke up around 7 with the sun blinding his eyes from the blinds. He lazily attempted to grab his phone ,all whilst half asleep, and ended up throwing it in the bin.
Izuku groaned loudly as he opened his eyes to reach for his phone clearly. He unlocked it to see loads of messages and comments.
He smirked at remembrance of the thirst trap and how it went viral. He opened the messages first and was surprised by the contents and count of them.
Uraraka 💕💕

bakugo is looking for u, think he flatlined 🤷♀️
Izuku was bamboozled that his whole class found out about his tiktok. He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed knowing everyone saw him being different. But he was mostly scared for Katsuki’s response.
Didn’t he block all his classmates anyway..?
