Chapter 31 - Confession

I don't know if this is cringe or not. But whatever.

=========

"Why did you let me bring you girls here? Is it about the surprise?"

Izuku looked at the sunset and took a moment to appreciate its beauty and more so when seeing the girls before him illuminated by the sunlight.

He tilted his head when looking at them fidgeting, especially Jiro with her ear jack that made her extremely adorable.

Camie had requested to bring them to the Dagobah beach that had been thoroughly cleaned by them a few months before becoming a famous spot for dates.

They use Tohru's dragon form to bring them to the place using invisibility spells. Normally, he doesn't condone usage of powers and quirks for personal reasons but Izuku doesn't mind it as long as what they were doing could endanger anyone.

"Izu-kun, they wanted to tell you something."

He tilted his head in curiosity seeing their anxiousness while their face beet red but took deep breath encouraging them to do it. One by one they recalled the reason for their feelings and their moments they shared deeply, taking the time to say the words that they were meaning to say.

"The thing we all had agreed to is..."

First it was Itsuka moving closer, surprising Izuku and far too surprised to even move when her lips touched his. She poured her feelings into it as their warm lips departed.

Izuku was about to speak when It was Mizuna's turn taking his lips from Itsuka, surprising him once again and did not move a muscle. He was far too confused to even react to all of this.

Afterwards, it was Jiro's turn to kiss Izuku's lips with a light blush while Momo followed behind. Then without hesitation it was Mizuna who was in her human form followed by Tohru's who was more aggressive.

"Hey, that's enough you overgrown lizard!" Katsumi said pulled by Tohru.

"Noooo! I want more!" Tohru said while the rest of the girls dragged her ass. She could break free but was simply being playful.

Katsumi looked at Izuku who seemed to have his brain buffering at what's happening.

"Dammit! After this doesn't change the fact I'll surpass you." Katsumi leaned in for a kiss pulling Izuku closer before stepping back then followed by Himiko excitedly taking his lips.

Finally it was Melissa's turn cupping his face before their lips clash, tasting her sweet lips once everyone was done Izuku's eyes were wide open.

"Uhhmm…..I'm speechless…why did you all suddenly kiss?"

The girls saw his innocent question that made them giggle finding his denseness to be adorable

""'That's….we love you!!"""

"Wait what? Love me?? How?? Why??" Izuku was confused because he never went out with the intention of becoming lovers with any of them. He only wanted to have friends and help them the best he could.

'Lucky bastard. Wish I had his luck with the ladies.' Daigoro.

'Doubt that, you look like a licensed sex offender.' Hikage said and everyone laughed with Daigoro grumbling.

"Fufufu because I've helped everyone to confess since I know we all like you." Camie said with a peace sign.

"But...hold on, is that why the other user has been teasing me about it!?"

'Yeah kid, you're denser than a black hole.' En said.

'To be fair, black holes attract things.' Daigoro said.

"That's partially right but it's all because of you that made us like you?"

"Let me go first, ever since I saw you in my family's dojo training under my father and training harder than anyone with a gaze that burns with passion and conviction. It is as if in the coldest night will burn like the scorching sun! You fall, your rise, you heal, you overcome! Despite how you were looking down for being mistaken as a Quirkless until you mastered your magic. Seeing you get stronger made me want to do the same. Eventually, I felt my heart ache at the thought of losing you." Itsuka was flustered but she poured her and Izuku's face heated up and Mizuna stepped next.

"I feel the same way as Itsuka. When I came into this world, I was confused and lost but you saved me and made me part of your family welcoming me. You are dreaming to become a hero even though you had long become one when you saved me. Without you I don't know where I am now. In the past I was envious and knew that it's impossible for us to be together when I'm just talking cat. I thought it was fine just seeing you happy but the moment Tohru arrived my feelings for you were set ablaze and hope was reignited. Now I want to be with you and support you not just as a friend but someone closer." Mizuna held his hand looking at her friends thinking how they can uplift each other when needed with Izuku the one gluing them together. Camie then stepped forward.

"Now it's my turn! The truth is that I just simply find Izuku cute and befriend her but the more I know about him the more I felt something started to change. You were kind and gentle yet also strong and bold. Hearing your dream made me think of my own dream. At first I wanted to be a hero to become famous and well known but now I understand what it means to be a hero through you. What I want is to see people's smiles and their happiness."

She smiled thinking why she looked up to Heroes. Izuku was the perfect example of what a hero was. After Camie it was now Himiko's turn.

"Yehey! Mine now! I always wanted to tell you that you're the light of my life who saved me from being drowned by the darkness of our world. At that time I thought the world was simply filled with nothing but darkness and pain until you showed me that it's up to us where we want to look. I realize that I could have become a Villain wanting to hurt the world because it hurt me." Everyone knew about her past and always saddened at how she was treated after gaining a quirk.

Her parents wanted for her to be "Normal" shunning her quirk and didn't try to find help forcing what they think is "Normal". In the end it harmed her more than they tried to fix her.

"But now I want to be a hero because I don't want anyone else to feel the pain I had gone through. There's many like me and I know I can be an example to those going through what I experienced. This is all thanks to you Izuku-sama. Of course this is not just the reason why I love you. Itsuka already gave what I saw. Please keep being that beacon, that lantern that shines through the dark and share the flames you have to others to burn away the darkness." Himiko said with a gentle smile completely different from her crazy smile. Once she was done Jiro stepped forward.

"As for me, at first it was me feeling indebted to you for saving me but gradually you guided me when I was confused about which path I wanted. You made me realize that I could still make music that would help people and be a hero at the same time. Izuku, you've always helped everyone and been an inspiration to us all. My dream was to be a hero but now I want to stand beside you and achieve our dream together."

Jiro exhaled while touching her heart, finally able to reveal her true feelings rather than bottling them up inside her chest.

"As for me, you've helped me with my quirks and opened a new possible way to help others. Furthermore, you never had any hidden intention even after knowing where I belong and treated me normally and not like a person on a pedestal. A man as selfless as you is the reason why we like you."

Momo did the same, lifting the burden that was weighing on her heart. She always appreciated the times where Izuku never made her feel special like a princess but a normal girl with flaws.

"You have reignited my old dream to be like you, a hero who selflessly helped people. I wanted to be beside you helping people along the way. Also, like Jiro would further both support and Pro hero at the same time." Melissa who despite acquiring a quirk had reavaliate her dream that reignited when Izuku told him what a hero is and it was now Tohru's turned.

"In the past, I felt lost and unsure what I should do with my life if my decision was right or wrong. When I thought I would die without finding the answer I'm looking for when you showed up. A young man who's flame burns enough to reignite hope and fuel my heart with warmth that I've never felt before. I think I had died that day and was renewed by your compassion and kindness. I always wondered what the old Tohru would say to me. My feelings are not simply because you saved me like Himiko but you gave me a future and a place where I belong as well as friends that I can trust with my life."

Tohru imagined seeing her past self and would hug her telling that lost little girl that everything will be fine. There's going to be someone, a true hero who will not look at her past but her incoming future. After they were all finished, it was only Katsumi who was left.

"Dammit! Fine, at first I hated the fact you looked down on me when I fell in that river. The thought of someone like me who was supposed to be better than everyone else was looked down upon by you infuriated me. But deep down I know you were always above and ahead of me."

Katsumi recalled they were young when Izuku was quirkless. She was saddened by this, her best friend, the one she supposed to be her rival. They were supposed to stand side by side striving to become a hero. She felt betrayed. She felt she was now alone to walk down that path.

She made sure to stop Izuku from following him afraid that he would lose his life because she knows that Izuku still wanted to be a hero but the way he was then would certainly lose his life.

"I tried to protect you the way I know but I almost lost you. I was an idiot and realized my mistake. At that moment you helped open my eyes. The reason why you're above and ahead of me was not because of power but something more. It is…the flame of a hero."

Katsumi saw it, when she was walking down the road of being a hero, Izuku was already there at the finish line while she was the one chasing him not the other way around..

That's the reason why I fell in love with you. Saving me even after everything I've done and never holding a grudge." Katsumi's expression was soft and different from his scowled and Camie wanted to tease her but decided not to.

Izuku was speechless hearing their words. How can this be?

'Izuku, don't doubt yourself. Aren't they special in your heart?' Yoichi said softly smiling seeing Izuku as his grandson. He was old enough to be one.

'You are a great young man and I'm sure more would come to love you because of how you're like a flame that spreads uncontrollably.' Hikage said.

'Yeah, as much as I joke around, I'm sure you wouldn't simply reject them and I am confident you can handle it.' Daigoro said.

'Be more confident, Izuku-kun. Trust your Auntie Nana that the woman around you genuinely cares and loves you. This takes a lot of courage for them to tell you how they feel.' Nana said while Izuku was thinking, looking at every single one of them taking deep breaths and exhaled.

"I…I-I don't know what to say….if that's how you all feel about me then I won't deny it but are you all sure you'll be willing to give your love to me when you can someone else? I don't want to end up hurting you all in the end."

He made them smile showing the selflessness of putting others' feelings before his. Izuku was unsure if he was capable of making them happy and did not want them to regret it in the end.

"Even you said that we already made our decision and know that you'll do everything to make us happy, right?" Camie said.

"Of course! I-I-I just don't want to see you get hurt because of my selfishness." Izuku stuttered.

"So you're willing to reject our feelings?" Mizuna asked.

"NO! I won't straight up reject your feelings towards me when you all courageously told me and I can't see myself rejecting you. It's just that…"

Izuku was confused about what to do even though his immense intellect did not prepare him for having multiple girls eyeing him. He isn't a pervert and never desires to have a harem, only wanted to make them happy. The dragon slayer is too kind when it comes to his friends.

"Shhh...you don't need to worry. We believe that whatever happens you can pull through. The only thing we want is if you accept our feelings or not." Momo said.

"I-I...I won't lie that I also like all of you, from Itsuka's elder sister personality where I can rely on for advice, Mizuna acting mature yet like to be pampered, Camie's bold and confident demeanor, Himiko carefree and playful personality, Katsumi being tsundere and headstrong, Momo's mature and elegant yet innocent personality to Jiro's beautiful voice and shy personality. Melissa for your passion for machinery and heroism while Tohru who is also like Himiko but more straightforward."

Izuku gave his honest feelings for them, making them blush before kissing his cheek and giving him a sweet smile. He could have listed more but it would take forever.

"So you're saying that you'll accept our feelings?" Jiro asked.

"I am and I'll make sure you make you happy. I'm scared to fail…" Izuku said.

"If you fail then we will work together. Remember you're not the only one doing everything but all of us. As you make us happy we will do the same." Momo said.

"Yaomomo is right, together we will work our relationship along the way." Melissa said

"Love is not one-sided but mutual. You had already been doing that in the I-Island." Mizuna said.

"....damn Daigoro-snesei is right, I'm dense as fuck."

'Damn right I am!' Daigoro shouted in the corner of his mind.

"Oh shit don't tell me Toru and Ochaco also like me! Or even Yor-san!?"

Recalling the name of his new friend that took the test from the U.A Entrance Exam. He thought hard and only shook his head as it's too early to assume while the girls only took mental notes when they met them at U.A. They wondered who this Yor was but decided to ask Mizuna later.

"...maybe not….it's too early to assume. Still, everything seems surreal that I went from being single to having 9 perfect girlfriends!" They blushed from his compliment and gave them a bright innocent smile.

"But...the question is who will I date?."

"No need to worry, we already got you covered! We had agreed that after that those who know you the longest should go first. It would be Itsuka, Katsumi, Mizuna, me and Himiko while next week would be Jiro, Momo and Tohru afterward Melissa as she would be busy for the next couple of days." Camie said.

Once they ended their confession, none of them noticed someone listening to all of this.

'Ara~ does he really have an effect on people? I think his flame is also affecting me.'

'Does that mean Lady Tohru will be one of our Mama?'
