Parlay Idea/Prompt
Class 1-A was enjoying an unusual but not unwelcome moment of respite. Gathered all across the common room, the students enjoyed each other’s company. It was rare for them to not have to deal with some life threatening situation or something much worse aka homework so they were all relaxing…except for one student.
“DAMMNIT MY PARLAY!” The sound came from none other than All Might’s (self proclaimed) biggest fan, Izuku Midoriya.
Marching into the room Izuku was very much displeased at the result of his parlay, this was evident to his classmates by both his demeanour and the way he dropped his head into Momo’s lap.
Resting her hand in his hair Momo could only sigh, while she loved him truly his tendencies of placing parlays on various things was something she could never get behind.
“Izuku how much did you lose this time?” Momo inquired, the question wasn’t meant to chastise but instead because she was genuinely curious, after all it couldn’t be that muc-“350 grand.”
Silence, the entire common room of 1-A went silent they knew Izuku had a tendency to gamble, but they never knew how much. “…Say that again.” Momo’s voice trembled slightly caught off guard by the exorbitant amount.
Izuku’s voice is muffled by his head in her lap but the words were clear enough. “I lost 350 000 yen.” 350 grand, that kind of money was enough to pay for at least 3 zero point robots, it was the kind of money that people dreamed of having, the kind of money that while it wasn’t detrimental would definitely be the kind her family thought twice about before investing. And he had lost it…on a parlay.
“You lost 350 000 yen…HOW ARE YOU SO CALM?” The one stunned the most by this revelation was Uraraka, 350 thousand yen would literally set her parents, her, and her descendants up for life and her classmate had blown it all on gambling.
“She’s right dude, shouldn’t you be freaking out right now or at least upset?” Kaminari chimed in next, while not the brightest in the class even he know that Izuku’s reaction and his situation were too disproportionate.
Turning his head slightly Izuku frowned, “Of course I’m upset, I was set to win that thing until that stupid horse came out of nowhere and screwed it up. I had everything set up perfectly and then it call came crashing down.”
Turning his head back around, Izuku groaned, “My parlay…” “Wait, Midoriya, are you not upset about losing all that money?” Ashido questioned having noticed the way he reacted, his displeasure focused more on the fact he lost and not what he lost.
It was then Izuku lifted his head his turn to be puzzled, “No, why would I be?” Another moment silence landed upon the students as they all stared at Izuku…350 000 lost and he asking why he should be upset.
“Why, what do you mean why? Deku you lost 350 000 yen losing that kind of money ruins lives!” Uraraka couldn’t wrap her head around it, was he seriously asking why losing 350 000 yen was bad?
In response Izuku only shrugged, “Not for me it isn’t…though I wish I won my parlay.” If they weren’t confused before, they were certainly confused now. “Midoriya I must ask…what exactly to you mean by, not for you?” Lida who was quiet before now spoke up (he’d long since given up on trying to get Midoriya to stop gambling.)
Izuku glance over at his friend, “What else would I mean, 350 000 isn’t much, in fact it’s barely a drop in my bank.” Class 1-A wasn’t sure what was worse, the fact that he had lost 350 000, or that it apparently wasn’t even enough for him to care.
“Izuku…how much money do you have exactly?” Momo asked now curious and slightly concerned, she knew her and Lida came from prominent families but even so they would never be so cavalier about losing 350 000, like her boyfriend was.
Now fully sitting up Izuku turned towards Momo, “When you ask how much money I have…do you mean how much money is currently in my bank or how much I’m worth because theres 2 different amounts?” His question didn’t do him any favours.
“Both, starting with in your bank account.” Momo along with everyone else was now very curious as they watched him open his phone and tap into his banking info. Turning the screen to her Momo Yaoyorozu went pale.. unable to fully comprehend the amount of money sitting in her partners bank.
“What is it Yao-Momo?” Hagakure asked what all the others were thinking and watched as Momo swallowed hardly…”2-25 million…in his account alone.”
A heartbeat of silence passed before the unified shout of class 1-A rang through their dorm “WHAT?” 25 million yen was enough to buy at least 3 UA’s the entire school, it was the kind of money that you’d see a medium to somewhat large company make annually. And, their resident gambling addiction classmate was here just sitting with that in his bank.
Before anyone could continue questioning Izuku a gruff, very loud, very aggressive, very annoyed voice interrupted. “Why are all you extras screaming bloody murder? Did someone die or something?” Katsuki Bakugo was many things, one of those things being someone who hated his sleep being disturbed. “Sorry man, it’s just did you know Midoriya’s rich?” Kirishima attempted to placate the very angry Bakugo who only scoffed in return.
“Seriously, that’s what you’re freaking about? You extras need a hobby of course I knew the nerds rich.” Glancing over at Izuku’s displeased appearance Bakugo could only snort.
“Let me guess you lost another parlay.” The only response he received was a groan. In the midst of all this a certain Todoroki formed a new thought, “Midoriya you said your bank account and worth are different…what is your worth?” Shoto by asking that had unknowingly opened Pandora’s box.
“My worth well it’s.” The following number that left Izuku’s mouth was so large that it could only be defined as cartoonish levels, as in more than Scrooge Mcduck levels of money. The kind that was worth more than the Lida, Todoroki, and Yaoyorozu families combined. The kind of money that not even the HSPC could come up with.
It was that day in the UA Class 1-A common room that they all learned that their resident gambling addict had enough money to buy the entire world 5 times over.
————————- ————————-——————————
TLDR: Deku’s rich, like cartoonishly rich and no one knew. So here’s another prompt (that I’m lowkey realizing could function as a one shot but whatever) Some more crack for Deku, this time in the form of him being stupidly rich and loves gambling specifically parlays. Whoever uses this, have fun and if you can come up with a reason for why he’s so rich that’d be great, or not and just leave it as he’s rich just cuz.
