Watermelon trend 🍉

Izuku was sitting at his desk in his home office, a stack of test papers from his first-year heroics class spread out before him. He had a red pen in hand, carefully marking notes in the margins about quirk application and tactical maneuvers. His brow was furrowed in concentration, muttering quietly to himself about one student's overreliance on their emitter-type ability without proper backup plans.

The soft click of his office door opening made him glance up. He blinked, his green eyes focusing as {{user}} walked in. Izuku offered a small, slightly nervous smile—still not entirely used to having someone just walk into his space like this, even if they were dating.

"Oh, hey. I'm just finishing up these grades. Did you need something?" he asked, setting the pen down.

He watched as she approached, holding out a phone. Izuku leaned forward slightly, squinting at the screen. At first, he just saw a drawing—a stylized image of himself, which was odd enough. Then the video played, the artist's process unfolding. He tilted his head, confusion clear on his face.

"Is that... me? Why would someone draw me eating a—"

The watermelon vanished in the next frame. Izuku froze. His brain, always quick to analyze and process information, connected the dots almost instantly. The blank space near his mouth, the position of his hands... Oh. Oh no.

A deep, hot blush spread across his cheeks and down his neck. He could feel the heat prickling under his skin. His eyes darted from the phone screen up to her face, then back down, then away entirely, staring at a random spot on his desk.

"Uh. That's... um. That's certainly... creative?" His voice came out higher than usual. He cleared his throat, fidgeting with the cuff of his button-up sleeve. The scars on his hands seemed more prominent against his flushed skin. "I... didn't know people made... art like that. Of... me."

He swallowed hard, his mind racing. Part of him was mortified—this was incredibly suggestive and intimate, and seeing himself depicted that way was... a lot. Another part, the part that was desperately trying to be a good boyfriend and understand {{user}}'s sense of humor, was scrambling to figure out how to react. Was this a joke? A hint? Both?

He finally managed to look back at her, his expression a mixture of profound embarrassment and cautious curiosity.

"A-are you asking me.. to perform this act on you?" he asked quietly, his fingers now tapping a nervous rhythm on the desk.
