The six year old Izuku is trying not to listen to the yelling match that his parents are having in the other room.
Now, even as a six year old, Izuku is already very observant, and recently the house has felt… less warm… more tense. Ever since that day in the doctor's office two years ago. So when his dad suddenly yells “I’M DONE, YOUR QUEER ASS CAN RAISE YOUR USELESS SON BY YOURSELF, JUST DON'T INVOLVE ME!” It wasn't entirely unexpected.
It hurt, sure, but not unexpected.
Soon he heard the tears coming from his mom and tore himself from his own tears to comfort her.
Of course, for the six year old All Might fan, his comfort consisted of saying that he was here and hugging his mom, but hey it's the thought that counts.
Inko broke down and hugged her son again, once again muttering ‘I’m sorry’ over and over into his ear.
After a couple hours of both Midoriya’s crying their infamous tears, Inko sits her son down to explain some things. Most he probably wouldn't ‘get’ until later.
About how Mom is something called ‘a lesbian’ and how that means that she likes girls in the way that most ‘straight’ girls like guys. About how sometimes people will get together even if they aren't really in love for various reasons such as pressure from their family, or societal reasons.
Of course, Izuku didn't understand half that shit at the time. The part he understood was “Mom likes girls, and that's normal.”

Izuku was 11 now, and he was texting what few friends he had.
Well, closer to siblings maybe, what with their shared ‘condition’ they know more about each other then most plain old friends.
Currently they were just chatting about their current guardians, at least those in the ‘minors’ section, who the hell knows what happens in the sections for the other age groups.
RedGadget: Yeah, my current fosters are fairly decent all things considered. At least they feed me. They misgender me a lot but we can't get picky.
SmallMight(You): honestly the foster system sounds awful, I don't know what I would do without mom

Grand: Ew, Tranny
Grand: You'll never be a real woman
TooSimple: Dude.
TooSimple: Uncool.
(Reply to Grand)
RedGadget: I… wasn't trying to be? I'm They/Them pronouns for the record.
Grand: You're not multiple people.
TooSimple: Dude.
TooSimple: SO Uncool.
Now Izuku ended up going a lot about the LGBTQ community after his mom came out, and did end up with a basic understanding of gender. Of course he didn't really look that hard into it, something he is now regretting.
But even still the audacity to hate on people for the way they were born on a chatroom for quirkless kids is not lost on him. And luckily, he also has the rules memorized (including the secret rule of the Internet: don't feed the trolls)

SmallMight: @admin-role
And so that was that.
Izuku did end up asking RedGadget some questions about this and that, just out of never meeting a non-binary person before. And even 15 years later, the #4 pro hero Deku and Mikumo Akatani, a support gear designer at Hatsume Industries would still spend time together.

After a long day of shopping with his mom, a now 13 year old Izuku walks, carrying several of the bags when he hears some drunk (seriously? During daylight hours? He judges silently.) trying to catcall people.
Which, fine, if you want to be an arse then that's your god given right.
“ehhh, that fatass, with the broccoli kid, wanna… (hic) wanna ditch the brat n have a good time? (Hic)”
Gross…
“M-Mom’s gay, p-piss off.” Izuku says, trying to get this fucking weirdo to leave them alone.
“Oh that's what they all say, but really they haven't really had a good dickin’ yet- OWWW YOU BITCH!” Says the drunk stranger that now has pepper spray in his eyes.
The Midoriya mother uses this opportunity to speed walk away. Izuku trailing after her, thinking on how fucking gross people can be.

‘Gosh they are so fucking gay’
The now 15 year old Izuku wasn't really into shipping his classmates the same way as Aoyama and Mina were, but he still had eyes. Growing up he did have a small habit of people watching so he does pick up on this stuff.
Particularly when they make it obvious, such as Kirishima praising Kacchan, with Kacchan trying to blow him off without any of his usual heat and-
Holy shit.
’Is Kacchan blushing?’
Suddenly Kacchan turns, and oh so happens to make direct eye contact with Izuku.
Ha
Big mistake.
Izuku makes sure to put on his smuggest smile, then slowly - making sure the blond can follow his line of sight - looks at Kirishima. Then looks back at Kacchan, and gives him a thumbs up.
He pauses for a moment, processing, then explodes (ha) with “Shit the FUCK up Deku!”
“I didn't say anything Kacchan.” the green boy responded smugly. Before immediately getting up to retreat to his room so he doesn't have to deal with the aftermath.

“Sooooo, Toga-san huh?”
The now 34 year old Izuku finds himself grinning smugly at his very embarrassed wife.
“S-Shut up.” Ochako mutters adorably. “She was hot okay?”
The current number 3 hero thinks to himself for a moment, “I… guess… like objectively. Still, really?”
“Yes really, or you're sleeping on the couch tonight mister. Hmph” Ochako responded, trying to seem madder than she is.
“Alright I give, I give.” Izuku chuckles.
“So what now?” The brunette asks.
“What do you mean?”
Ochako sighs, “Well, obviously this doesn't change much. I'm still irresistibly in love with my favorite green haired dork.” She smiles to herself, seeing the way his face shifts a pleasant shade of pink and the way he tries to subtly hide it. “So my Bisexuality doesn't really affect much…”
“Well,” Izuku starts, “If you want to come out on your Bluesky or something then the queer representation would be nice for the other queer kids.”
He takes a deep breath, "A lot like what I do for quirkless kids you know?... N-not to pressure you or anything just-”
“No, no I get it.” Ochako responds. “Maybe I could do some good with that information… I'll think on it for abit. Maybe talk to the girls a bit.
“Of course.” Izuku smiles, “Now I think I need to get going or I'll be late to school. Love you~” The U.A teacher pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Have a good day at work ‘Chako!”
‘How did I get so lucky… to have someone like her in my life.’ He thinks lovingly as he steps out the door, looking back to see his wife beautiful smile. ‘Gosh I love her.’
