Aura Borealis

Chapter 1: The day before the bliss known as summer vacation

As Izuku groggily woke up for his slumber, he looked over at his clock and jumped 10 feet out of his bed and screamed " I overslept!" when he realised he only had an hour to get to school, and his school was a good 30 minute walk from his house.

He quickly changed out of his pajamas, which consisted of a white undershirt and light blue All Might pajama pants, into his school uniform and raced out of his room with a comb in his hand to make his hair look less bushy as it usually was when he woke up. He was so busy combing his hair and chastising himself for oversleeping, that he almost ran into his mom as she walked out of the kitchen with two plates of eggs, bacon, and buttered toast. "Ah! Sorry Mom, I didn't see you there!" he squeaked as he slipped by her and into the kitchen to grab a glass of milk.

His mom only laughed at her son's antics and said in response "Well good morning to you too sleepy head, you almost missed breakfast."

"Yeah sorry about that, I must of forgotten to turn my alarm on after studying all night." Izuku said as he closed the fridge door with a glass of milk in hand.

"I was about to go knock on your door once I set the table to make sure everything as ok when I heard your scream and realised why you hadn't gotten up yet" his mom said after she and izuku sat down to eat and prayed over each other's plates.

Izuku nervously laughed and scratched the back of his head as he started to quickly eat his breakfast "..hehe."

"So since today is the last day of school before summer vacation starts, what do you have planned for most of the summer?" his mom asked as he continued to gleefully devoured his mom's delicious cooking.

"Mostly hang out with Kacchan to play video games and continue our strength and quirk training in preparation for the UA entrance exam in a few months."

His mom sighed and shook her head "just promise me that you both will be safe while you two train and don't overwork yourselves like you did a few weeks ago when you both decided to have a competition to see who could clean more of that dirty beach a few miles away. I almost had to carry you both to my car you two were so exhausted."

Izuku nervously laughed again "...yeah, we did kinda go a bit overboard didn't we, but the locals and tourists really appreciated what we did and now the beach is back to the pristine look it had before the city decided to start dumping its trash all over it."

His mom only sighed again but then started laugh and little and have a soft smile on her face "I guess I just have to chalk it up to early hero work."

Izuku beamed at the statement and once he was done with his breakfast, he got up from the table, cleaned off his plate and glass, put them in the dishwasher, ran back to his room to grab his backpack, and gave his mom a goodbye kiss on the cheek before heading out of the house for school "goodbye Mom, I'm off to school, I love you!"

"I love you too, have a good final day of middle school Izu!".

Izuku then closed the door and started down the stairs of his and his mom's apartment complex and started to walk towards his school when an arm wrapped around his neck and gave him an explosive noogie, literally.

"Hey Deku, how's it going shrimp?" Katsuki Bakugou, or as izuku liked to call him, Kacchan, said as he released him from the choke hold and started to walk beside him.

Izuku merely rolled his eyes and began to pat down his hair to keep it from frizzing out from the explosion "hey Kacchan, I see your in a good mood."

"Well of course I'm in a good mood, I'm one day away from saying adios to those fucking losers in our class."

"Just because their quirks aren't as flashy as yours or mine doesn't make them losers."

"of course that makes them fucking losers Deku, us two are the only ones in our class worth a second glance, though you barely pass."

Izuku simply smiled and rolled his eyes again at Bakugou's attempts to show that he was better than him as usual. He and Bakugou continued to talk aimlessly about random things, like a show on tv one of them liked, or a certain hero that make a cool display on a mission on tv the other night.

As they entered school they make their separate ways to their respective lockers and then went through the usual motions that was the school day.

As the last period before the end of the day was about to end, his and Bakugou's teacher started talking about how now that middle school was about to end for them, they should start to focus on what career they want to pursue for the rest of their lives. As the final bell rung, all the kids in his class cheered at the top of their lungs while whimsically showing off their respective quirk.

Izuku could hear Bakugou mutter under his breath "fucking extras" as he left the room, and Izuku couldn't help but chuckle at it as he left a little behind him.

"So now that the 'extras' are out of your life, what do you want to do today" Izuku said as he and Bakugou grabbed their stuff from their lockers.

"Well we could swing over to my place to play some smash bros or some guitar hero, but most likely my naggy ass mom will be there so if you got any ideas, I'm game"

"Well we could always just head over to the beach and do some training for awhile then slip by the Steak & Shake nearby and grab a burger or two before we gotta head back to our respective homes" Izuku said as they started to walk towards the beach.

"Hm, how about we make it a competition, we both race to the beach, no quirks allowed, and the last one to get to our training spot has to buy the winner whatever they want off the menu"

"oh you are so on bob-omb boy" izuku responded with a smirk as they both got ready at the edge of the sidewalk.

"On the count of three, One, Two, Three!" They both blasted off the sidewalk like their butts were on fire. For the first half of the race, Bakugou was in the lead, but as they made for the curve in the road before the home stretch, Bakugou stepped on a banana peel and skid into a pair of trash cans, and all Izuku could do was laugh as he passed his friend/rival who had garbage now stuck in his spiky hair.

Izuku was almost to the edge of the road before the curb led to the entrance to the beach when he heard a loud explosion behind him and saw bakugou start to close the gap between them as explosions from his hands blasted him forward at incredible speeds.

Izuku only smirked as a mischievous plan popped into his head and strands of green aura began to seep from his hands as he activated his quirk. As he finished tying the knot to his plan he saw Bakugou only a few feet away, so he jumped over the steps onto the beach. He then heard a snap as his trap got set off and saw a flying ball of spiky hair fly over his head and land into the ocean with a splash.

As he watched Bakugou swim onto the beach completely soaked and walk over to their training area where he was calmly sitting at, all he could say as Bakugou entered his range of hearing was "I thought you could use a bath after your dumpster dive back there" and Bakugou simply responded with his signature glare of death accompanied by a perfect middle finger.

"That was a cheapass shot with that slingshot trap of yours, jackass."

"Hey you started it when you used your own quirk to try to beat me."

"Touché."

"Now let's get to work before i give you my snack order." Bakugou simply grumbled before changing into his workout clothes and hang his wet clothes over an aura drying rack string Izuku created between two lamp poles along the edge of the beach.

Their training with pretty smoothly with a quick warm up lap around the beach followed up by some push ups, some bench presses, pull ups, and then to end things off a quick quirkless sparring match that ended with both of them with some bruises and a bloody nose.

As the sun began to set over the horizon, they decided to call it a day and head over to the Steak & Shake over by Izuku's house and both grab a burger, both payed for grumpily by Bakugou.

As they left the restaurant, they went their separate ways with bakugou leaving with a "I'll get you next time, Deku" which was bakunese for 'goodnight'.

As Izuku climbed up the stairs and entered his house, he was welcomed by the sight of his mom sleeping on the couch with the tv showing one of her favorite soap operas. He softly smiled and pulled a blanket over her and wished her a goodnight as he turned off the tv and all the lights in the house.

As he got into bed after taking a well deserved shower and brushing his teeth, all he could think of was the UA entrance exam in a few months and how soon enough, his journey of becoming the greatest hero ever was about to start.
