Authors Notes:
Yeah this will be my longest story... Ever. Ok that is if im determined enough to keep it going that long. Im probably gonna take a lot of breaks from this since itll be so long. The chapters will actually have names and I wanna make this atleast 60 chapters long, itll probably be over 300k words overall. I dont really know the ship name between these two so im just gonna call it Hagazuku.
Darkness in all directions, except one person, someone with light blue eyes, almost like All Mights. Izuku couldnt remember a thing, or see a thing. All he could do was run towards that person, find the light in the darkness, melt away the shadows. "Izuku..." He heard in a ghastly voice. "You need to find me." He heard, this time the voice louder. Izuku ran faster towards the voice, so fast his lungs were about ready to burst. He was about to reach them, when he saw a big flash of light, bringing him to an unfamiliar place, with an unfamiliar person in front of him.
"Wha.. Who are you?" He said, his voice strained from all the running he did. The person, who looked to be in her late 30s to early 40s smiled brightly.
"Wow, I never thought the 9th holder of One for All would be such a young kid. Not to mention you kind of killed yourself out there." She said, laughing near the end. Izukus memories all of the sudden starting rushing back to him, he was fighting Shoto Todoroki, and he was trying to help him reach his full potential. He doesnt really remember what happened, but he can only assume that he lost. Like the mysterious woman was listening in on his thoughts, she nodded. Wait...
"How... Do you know about One for All?" Izuku said, more than confused now. The lady laughed yet again, although this time it sounded a little forced.
"Well... Lets just say im a part of you now." She said, making it sound way too inuendous than it should've. "If you haven't figured it out already, im one of the previous One for All holders, and you are about to receive more power than you could hope for." She said. Izuku decided to examine her a bit more. She was sitting on what looked like a large boulder, and she was wearing a skimpy looking costume. She was wearing a diamond ring too, indicating she was married. "It looks like your about to wake up, so ill make this quick." She said, opening up her palm to reveal a light blue orb, which looked like it was glowing. "This right here is my quirk. After that intense fight with your friend, it awakened the inner power of One for All, revealing my quirk in particular. My quirk is called Invisible Light, it allows you to see weaknesses in someones quirk, as well as know the best strategy to defeat one, and as you'll soon find out, has a hidden ability." She said. She blew on the strange glowing orb, breaking it apart into tiny little pieces. They floated around Izuku, eventually getting absorbed into his body. She started floating away, indicating he was about to wake up, but Izuku wanted more answers, more context.
"Wait! What do you mean? Whats this hidden ability?" Izuku yelled, desperate for answers. He tried jumping, tried waving his arms at her, but nothing seemed to work. She just giggled.
"Well ill just say this. Your gonna see a side to your friend, that no one has ever seen. And when you do, you'll form a relationship that out does any other. That person... Is H-" The lady said, getting cut off as another bright flash of light brought Izuku back into reality. He saw a bright fluorescent light on the ceiling, curtains draped around him.
"Uhh." Izuku said, remembering what happened. He was fighting Todoroki, then he woke up in the nurses office, then Recovery Girl had to do surgery on him... Which resulted in him getting the crazy dream. He pulled back the draped curtains, seeing that it was actually empty. He didnt even see Recovery Girl, her seat was empty, all the beds were empty. He could hear cheers outside, indicating there was probably a match going on outside. He was getting up, attempting to stand up, but instantly fell back onto his bed. "I guess the Anastesia is still wearing off." Izuku told himself. He was about to try again when he heard the door click open. It startled him badly, making him jump slightly. He thought it would be one of his friends, asking if he was ok, but instead he saw someone hes never met. She was wearing a cheerleading costume, like the ones the other girls were tricked into wearing.
"Oh hey Midoriya! I didnt know you were awake. Man cheerleading is so hard, the others were pretty mad they got tricked into doing it, I bet Uraraka is giving Mineta a good beating right now." She said, laughing. Izuku was confused, who was this girl?
"I-im sorry. Who are you?" Izuku said, his voice getting strained from the pain in his arms. The girl looked confused.
"Oh come on Midoriya, stop messing around, its me!" She said, her voice filled with excitement. Izuku still had no idea who she was, giving her a confused look. She looked worried when he didnt recognize her. "Are you ok? Do I need to get Recovery Girl?" She said, backing up to exit the room. Izuku tried getting up to stop her, but he instantly fell on the ground, luckily he didnt fall on his arms somehow but now he couldnt get up. The girl immediately ran towards him, grabbing his arm to help him up. "Oh my god Midoriya! Are you ok?" She said, getting him up on his legs. She wrapped Izukus casted arm around her neck, helping him to the bed. Izukus breathing was heavy, but he seemed ok. "Yeah... Im fine... Its just that ive never seen you before." Izuku said. The girl looked slightly confused, and even a little offended.
"Well I mean... Of course youve never seen me." She said, looking down. Midoriya then remembered something, something from his dream. 'Your gonna see a side to your friend, that no one has ever seen.' He thought to himself. He also remembered the lady also tried to say her name, but was cut off, but it started with H. He just suddenly connected all the dots.
"Ha... Hagakure?" He said, realising that he was staring at his friend the entire time. Her eyes lit up.
"Yeah! So you do remember." She said, her eyes beaming now. Izuku looked down, shaking his head. How would he even explain this? How would he explain that he could see someone who was invisible?
"No, its not that... I... I can see you Hagakure. Like your body and everything." Izuku said, looking at her up and down. Her face changed, now frowning.
"Midoriya, this isnt funny." She said, turning away from him. He knew it would probably be hard for her to believe him, seeing as how shes been invisible all her life. He would have to figure out how to get her to believe him, but how would he do that? He just got an idea.
"Your hair is a vivid white, your eyes a dark purple. Right now your turned away from me, your hair covering your face. Your skin is also slightly tanned, and that cheerleading costume is a little too small for you." He said, turning his eyes away from her slightly showing midriff. Hagakure swiftly turned around, surprised beyond belief. Only shes ever seen what she looks like, and no matter how hard shes tried her body just would not appear visible to anyone else, like her quirk was just locked on one setting, but now Izuku could see what she looked like?
"How... How did..." She said, not even able to say a single word. She couldnt believe it, Izuku perfectly described what she looked like, he even noticed that the costume was a little small on her, causing her to quickly move her arm in front of her chest, covering up her showing midriff. Izuku tried to find something for her to cover herself up, resorting to tossing her a bedsheet. She quickly wrapped it around herself, affectively covering herself up. Now they could get down to the important stuff.
"I... I dont know... I think it has to do with my dream." Izuku said, forgetting that it had a person who knew about his secret quirk, something no one was supposed to know. Hagakure sat down next to him, her tan face looking almost golden in the lighting.
"What happened Midoriya?" Hagakure said, curious as to how him seeing her had to do with a dream. Izuku didnt know how to explain it, atleast without revealing anything. He thought it over, eventually altering his story in such a way that he wouldnt say anything he couldnt say.
"There was darkness everywhere. I was wearing my costume, and my arms werent all bandaged up." He said, holding up his casted arms. Hagakure nodded, indicating him to continue. "There was this strange person in the distance, they were urging me to find them. I felt like I was running for hours trying to find them, but eventually I reached them." Izuku said, remembering the womans face. "She looked about mid to early 30s wearing a skintight costume with colors on differant parts of her limbs. She talked to me as if she knew me, knowing who I was and that I just fought Todoroki. She explained to me she would be passing on her quirk to me, something called Invisible Light. Basically I can figure out the weakness to any quirk, and come up with strategies to defeat someone using those weaknesses. She said I would 'See a side to my friend, that no one has ever seen' saying it had some hidden ability. I think me seeing you... Is that hidden ability." Izuku said. Hagakure mustve thought he was crazy right? He just basically told her that a dream gave him another quirk, and now he can see her, how ridiculous would that be? Well, Hagakure will admit she was having a pretty hard time believing it, maybe Izuku has finally gone mad, or he hit his head too hard while fighting? But how would he be able to describe exactly what she looks like if he was crazy? Hagakure spent way too much time trying to figure it out, eventually giving up.
"Ok... So what does this mean?" She said. She was still trying to make sense of all of this, of how he could see her, of how anything really. Izuku was too, not because he could now see someone no one else can see, but because he received the mysterious womans quirk. He had One for All, and she mentioned she was now a 'Part of him.' He does remember seeing a bunch of strange people when he fought Shinso, and now that he thinks about it one of them did kind of look like the woman in his dreams. All Might said they probably helped him fight off Shinsos quirk, but he never knew that it would also awaken a previous One for All users quirk. He didnt even know that was possible... Was it?
"I... Guess I can see you now." Izuku said. "Although we should probably keep this a secret from everyone. We dont want to raise too many questions." Izuku said, hoping that was a good enough excuse. In reality he wanted to get to All Might as quickly as possible and know what was going on, know who that was, and most importantly of all, find out if this is gonna happen again to him. Plus he didnt want the others asking too many questions, just the fact that he wouldve gotten another powerful quirk wouldve caused them to get suspicious. The only people that could know would be All Might and Hagakure... Which means he has to keep yet another secret from his friends. He already has enough trouble trying to keep One for All a secret, how would he keep two quirks a secret now... Wait... If Hagakure knows about this... It would only be fair if she knows about One for All right? Of course he would have to get All Mights permission to do that, and Izuku knows how secretive All Might is about his passable quirk.
"Wow... Ok..." Hagakure said, at a complete loss of words. She tried to think of something to say, but her mouth just layed wide open, not knowing what to say. Normally she wouldnt care since nobody could see her, but since Izuku could clearly see her now she just looked dumb. She blushed, suddenly relising something. "Oh my god! If you can see me now that means you can see me completly exposed in my costume!" Hagakure said, almost yelling. Izuku had to almost grwb her, telling her to quiet down. She forgot that she needed to keep this a secret, lowering her voice to almlst a whisper. "I seriously hope you wont take advantage of this." She said, her blush covering her entire face. Izuku was taken aback, almost forgetting himself to keep his voice down.
"N-no Hagakure! I would never d-do that. I-I dont really have any interest in that." Izuku said, his voice stuttering every now and then. Hagakure knew he was just trying to say he wasnt a perv, but she couldnt help but feel slightly offended when he said 'I dont really have any interest.' She nodded, although she was curious about something.
"Well... Since you can see me now... What do you think of me?" She said, her blush getting even deeper. Izuku looked at her again, from her slightly tamned skin, to her shoulder length white hair, she actually looked pretty cute. But one thing that stood out to Izuku... Her eyes. Her eyes were such a dark shade of purple, it looked almost blue, and it even did look blue depending on how he looked at her. Hes never seen a pair of eyes so beautiful, so interesting, hes never even seen someone with purple eyes. To him... It actually made her the prettiest girl hes ever seen.
"U-uh... Well... Your p-pretty c-cute Hagakure... I think your e-eyes are what really make you stand out." Izuku said, blushing at what he said. Hagakure looked at him with shock and embarrassment, shocked because Izuku noticed her one of a kind eyes, and embarressed because he called her cute. She would tell people she had purple eyes, but they always would shrug it off since they couldnt actually see them. The fact that Izuku noticed made her feel happy, plus he called her cute, no ones ever called her cute. Her blush slowly started fading away as a smile formed on her face. Izuku also noticed that seeing her smile made him want to smile as well, he didnt know if that was instinctive or indicative if something else, but he just let it happen.
"T-thanks..." Hagakure said, her blush returning as she looked down, a smile still on her face. "You know, its kind of unbelievable." Hagakure said, trying to think of what shes gonna say. "Ive always been sort of an outcast because of my quirk. No one can see me, and its not like I can take a picture of myself to show everyone. I can only explain what I look like, its reeeally strange." She said, trying to hold back some laughter. "But hey, that doesnt stop me from being a positive person!" Hagakure said, her cheery personality coming back. Izukus smile got slightly bigger.
"Well thats what I admire about you." Izuku said, embarressed at what he was about to say. "I mean, no matter what everyones said to you, or what theyve done, you always keep a positive attitude." Izuku said, not knowing what else to say. Hagakure blushed even more, more than when she wears her costume. She never knew Izuku could be so nice to her, before and after he knew what she looked like.
"Wow, thats so sweet of you Midoriya!" Hagakure said, her smile reaching the edges of her ears. Shes mostly back to a positive attitude now, actually excited that Izuku could see her now. She was still slightly suspicious though, like he was hiding something, but she figured it wasnt important. Izuku attempted to stand up, glad he could actually hold his own weight, although his legs were still pretty shakey. Hagakure stood up to steady him, Izuku silently thanking her. She helped him walk over to the door, Izuku eventually gaining enough strength to stand on his own. "Are you sure your ok? You should probably rest up." Hagakure said, hoping Izuku would take her advice. Izuku shook his head.
"I gotta see the other match ups, I need to cheer on my friends." Izuku said, determined to see who would win. Unfortunately his brain thought otherwise, losing his energy in just a few steps. He was about to fall when Hagakure caught him just in time. It sounded like she may have pulled something, grunting as pain shot up her shoulder. She fought through the pain though, helping Izuku back to his bed.
"I dont think so. Your obviously low on energy, so please just rest up." Hagakure said, grabbing the bedsheet she was using as a cover and threw it on Izuku. He tried to wave it off like it was nothing, but Hagakure refused to let him get up. "Are you gonna make me have to sit here? Because I will if I have to." She said, sitting down with her arms crossed. Izuku was about to argue with her, but he was feeling really tired again, probably from wrapping his head around what happened... And maybe from trying to walk right after a surgery. Truth be told, he gave up.
"Alright fine, but youll owe me." Izuku said. He meant it as a joke but Hagakure took it seriously.
"Oh really? Ill buy you dinner how about that." She said, slightly blushing. Izukus blush filled up his entire face though, beyond embarressed. He wanted to say he was joking, but at this point, he just wanted to get to sleep. He slowly closed his eyes, falling asleep in just a few seconds. Hagakure stood up, looking at herself in the mirror. To her, she saw a white haired, slightly tanned girl. To others, she was a floating pair of clothes, the fact that Izuku can see her now... She turned around, looking at the messy green haired kid... He looked so peaceful, if no one knew about his quirk... Or quirks now, theyd just think he was a normal high schooler. She smiled, she couldnt help but feel happy that it was Izuku who was the first person to see what she really looks like, and not just a floating piece of clothing with a bubbly personality. She decided to run to the girls changing room, going to change out of the cheerleading costume. She saw that Yaoyorozu and Jiro were still changing out, they both looked thoroughly annoyed.
"Ugh! I cant believe Kaminari and Mineta did that to us." Jiro said, slamming her locker as she put on her P.E. uniform. Yaoyorozu looked just as annoyed, but like always she kept calm.
"I will admit, that was some stunt they pulled on us." She said, taking off the already small cheerleading costume off her big chest. Hagakure actually enjoyed it, she got to let out some of her pent up excitement.
"Hey, personally I enjoyed it." She said, opening up her locker and grabbing her P.E. uniform. Jiro and Yaoyorozu both looked at her, which of course was just a floating piece a of clothing for them. They both just shrugged it off, knowing this was just the classic Hagakure, with a bubbly personality and always positive.
"Oh, hey Hagakure. Where were you all this time?" Jiro said, getting her P.E. uniform on. Hagakure didnt know if she was allowed to say. But she only has to keep Izukus new quirk a secret right? So telling them where she was is probably ok.
"Oh, I was checking on Midoriya. He wanted to cheer everyone on so badly, but he was still pretty weak from his surgery. He tried getting up several times to get to the benches but he always lost strength, I think I even pulled a muscle trying to get him back to his bed." She said, moving around her shoulder, which was still sore. Yaoyorozu and Jiro both looked pretty worried, mostly because Izuku was just so messed up after his fight with Todoroki.
"Maybe we should go see him." Yaoyorozu said, her voice filled with worry. Jiro nodded, agreeing with her. Hagakure knew this would be bad, if they both went to see Izuku, it could stress him out beyond belief, and she knew he was dealing with enough already. Plus he was sleeping, he needed his rest.
"Actually hes sleeping right now. After trying to leave it basically sucked all his energy out. We should probably let him sleep, regain his energy." Hagakure said, hoping it would be convincing enough. Yaoyorozu and Jiro looked at eachother, eventually nodding in agreement. Hagakure felt like she dodged a bullet, happy she was able to help out Izuku. She wondered how he was doing.
Izuku was back into the unfamiliar place, with the mysterious lady no where to be found. He decided to examine the area this time, seeing if he can find anything familiar. Other than the rock the lady sat in, he couldnt see anything that looked familiar. The rock was in front if a tree, a huge one at that, as he turned around he noticed a giant hidden valley, surrounded by massive cliffs. There was an amazing waterfall too, emptying out into a seemingly small lake for how big the waterfall was. He heard breathing behind him, instantly making him turn around. The woman was back, this time she was wearing a white dress, almost like a wedding dress, her hair was tied in a bun too. "You like it?" She said, standing up to walk around in a circle. "This is where I was buried after I died, and where I rest now." She said, walking over to the small lake. She dipped her hand into it, taking out a handfull of water and drinking it, her mouth dripping with water when she was done. She motioned for Izuku to come over to her, which Izuku obeyed, although his steps were more cautious then anything. He kneeled next to her, looking at his reflection in the water, he looked calm, almost confident, even though so much has happened in such a short amount of time. "Go on, take a sip." She said to Izuku. He looked at her like she was crazy, although she just had a smile on her face. Izuku did feel surprisingly dehydrated, and after contemplating it for a few seconds he dipped his left hand in, surprised to feel that the water was actually quite warm. He looked at it for a second, then plunged his mouth into the small puddle in his hand. He gasped as the water instantly turned cool, turning his dry and dehydrated mouth back to normal, instantly feeling hydrated and refreshed.
"Wha..." Izuku said, speechless. The lady next to him giggled, amused by his reaction.
"Theres a reason why this is hidden." She said, standing up. She kicked off her heels, dipping her feet into the lake. "This lake is blessed with healing powers. I dont know why, but it has been ever since I discovered it. Just dipping your feet in can replenish your strength." She said, sighing as the water supposedly replenished her strangth. Izuku decided to pass.
"What... Whats your name?" Izuku said, hoping to stop calling her "That lady." She turned around, curiosity written all over her face, she eventually got the message, chuckling.
"If you wanted to know my name, you couldve asked sooner." She said, stepping out of the healing water. "Just call me Julie. I know how American can I get?" Julie said. Izuku laughed nervously, honestly not knowing what to say. Julie looked at him, her eyes staring right at him. Her eyes were purple like Hagakures, although a lighter color. "I see all went well with your friend." Julie said. Izuku was surprised, how did she know that he talked to Hagakure? She smiled wickedly. "Like I said, im a part of you now. I know what you do, as well as what you think... Like right now your thinking about how surprisingly cute your invisible friend is." She said, seemingly pulling it all out of his head... Actually she was. Izuku gasped, his eyes wide with shock. She giggled at Izukus massive blush forming on his face. Julie looked up, noticing something Izuku couldnt see. "Welp, it looks like your about to wake up, fun talk." She said, almost on cue a bright flash of light knocked Izuku out of his deep sleep. He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes as he saw Hagakure sitting at the foot of his bed. She jumped up, a blush flushing her tan face as she squealed. Izuku didnt know what was going on until he remembered his dreams and the fact that he could see Hagakure now. Hagakure covered her face in embarressment. She was watching Izuku sleep because she thought he looked so peaceful, but since he woke up he would probably think weirdly of her. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the blush.
"O-oh uh hey Midoriya. How did you sleep..." She said, hating herself for stuttering her words. As soon as Hagakure got dressed she instantly headed towards the nurses office, hoping Izuku still hadnt woken up, which luckily he didnt. She started examining his injuries as soon as she got close enough, both his arms were wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, while he had several bandages covering his face. She couldnt help but admit she always hated it when Izuku hurt himself. 'What quirk would do that?' She thought to herself. Now that she thought about it his quirk was damningly similar to All Mights quirk, the power, the super strength, even the way he attacked was similar to All Mights. Well its not like All Might can pass on quirks, that would be silly, plus even if he could he still had his quirk, if he gave away his quirk he wouldnt have it anymore, right? Izuku moaned, his head killing him, probably from laying in such an uncomfortable angle.
"Oh the usual... Crazy lady saying she saw us talking." Izuku said, saying slightly more than he wanted to. "I dont think its anything to worry about... Anyways whats happening out there?" Izuku said, trying not to make Hagakure worry. Hagakure was worried, in fact she was more than worried, what the hell was going on with Izuku, why is he acting so weird, why can he see her now? All questions that she couldnt worry about now. Right now she had to focus on keeping Izuku from getting stressed, maybe ask more questions every now and then.
"Well I dont believe anything entertaining is going on right now, I think some kids from general studies and support class are doing their thing but thats about it." Hagakure said, trying to sound normal. Izuku looked up, as if he was thinking, then, like he hadnt learned his lesson before tried standing up and walking. Go figure he fell down. Hagakure dived down immediatly, grabbing him just before he landed on his messed up arms. Her pulled muscle ached in retort, but Hagakure ignored it as she layed Izuku back on his bed. She sighed, mostly out of frustration. "Ugh, come on Midoriya. You shouldve learned the first 3 times you tried that. You know what? Im staying now, congrats you now have a new baby sitter." She said out of anger. She sat down in Recovery Girls chair, crossing her arms to show she wasnt lieing. She thought it was kind of mean the way she said it, but she was caught up in the rush, plus her shoulder was killing her, specially since she crossed her arms. Izuku sighed, remembering how stubborn Hagakure could be. All he wanted was to look at the fights, gather more info, more data, but as he thought about it... If this new quirk shows the weaknesses of differant quirks and can instantly think of strategies for them, does he really need to examine? He thought about it, maybe to much, he had a massive headache now, which eventually made him give up.
"Alright fine, Ill stay down, but you dont have to babysit me." Izuku said, slightly blushing at the word 'babysit.' Hagakure shook her head, refusing to listen.
"Nope, my mind is made up." She said, giving him an evil smile. Izuku gave up, letting her stay. They both stayed pretty silent for a while, just leaving their minds to wander. Hagakure thought about what would happen now that Izuku knew what she looked like, while Izuku thought about this brand new quirk. The ability to know other peoples weaknesses, that just seems way too overpowered. There has to be some kind of drawback right? But what would that drawback be? Decrease in power, speed, maybe even cognitive function? Either way, he would have to find out when he went back to sleep. Hagakure was the first to speak. "So... What are you gonna do now that you can see me?" She asked, curious. What could they do is a better question. Izuku can see her now, but that doesnt really mean anything has to change right? Unless either of them want there to be change. Izuku thought about it for a moment, he can see Hagakure now, while others cant...
"I mean... We havent really gotten to know eachother yet, maybe we can do that?" Izuku said, blushing as he said it. Hagakure seemed pretty happy with that, she never really had friends up until she joined U.A., why not get to know one of them?
"Yeah sure! That sounds fun." Hagakure said, standing up to sit on the foot of his bed again. Izuku sat up, sitting with his legs crossed.
"O-ok... Well ladys first." He said, attempting to act polite. Hagakure giggled.
"Oh come on man, you dont have to be nervous! Just think of it like... A conversation." Hagakure said, trying to help Izuku. It helped him a little bit, he felt a little more confident as he nodded his head. Hagakure started thinking, whats something she could ask him? She had so many questions to ask, and most of them probably wouldnt be a good idea to ask first. She decided to go with something simple. "Well... When did you relise you wanted to become a hero?" Hagakure said. Izuku never really talked about why he wanted to be a hero, other than wanting to be prove Bakugo wrong. Izuku thought about this for a moment, well he originally wanted to be like All Might, but then he bacame his successor so... What could he say?
"Well, originally I wanted to be like All Might. I always wanted to be like him, ever since I was 4, but then... My dream got crushed when I was told I couldnt get a quirk." Izuku said. He said more than he wanted to, but at this point he was commited. "But I never gave up ya know? I applied to U.A. and never gave up the hope that I might one day become a hero, and then somehow, out of pure luck, I got a quirk. I trained so hard for the next month, trying to build up my bodys strength." Izuku said, looking at his bandaged up arms. "Obviously I didnt train hard enough." He said, laughing nervously. Hagakure was surprised, not only by Izukus story but by his sheer determination to be a hero. She always thought of Izuku as a nervous wreck, never able to keep a conversation with someone let alone a girl, but just the fact that Izuku worked so hard to get into U.A., and worked so hard to get accepted by both the tachers and students.
"Wow, thats quite the origin story Midoriya." She said, her voice showing how surprised she was. Izuku blushed, he never really thought his 'Origin story' as she called it was interesting, he thought thats how most people decided they wanted to become a hero, they get inspired by another.
"Haha... Well what about you? What made you want to become a hero?" Izuku said, curious as to why she wanted to become a hero. Hagakure put a finger on her chin, she definitely had her reasons, though there was one reason that stood out more than the rest.
"Hmm... Well its kinda sad so expect me to shed a few tears." Hagakure said, mainly for herself. Izuku nodded, regretting he even asked. Hagakure took a breath, preparing herself to reveal some private stuff. "Well ever since I was young I was always an outcast, as surprising as that is. Because of my quirk people always thought I was weird, just the fact that no one knew what I looked like made people stray away from me. I would try to describe what I look like, since I can obviously see what I look like, but as you know everyone shrugged it off or didnt believe me. Specially the purple eyes, no one believed me on that. So... I wanted to prove them wrong ya know? I know its not as good as your reason, but hey, im here now." Hagakure said, managing to hold back most of her tears, although one stubborn one came out. She at times hated her quirk, or atleast the fact that she couldnt control it. Her personality, she has to force it most of the time, sure it makes everyone else happy, but she feels like she has to act like that, or else everyone will stop wanting to talk to her, she didnt really feel like telling Izuku that yet though. Izuku felt like crap for asking the question, he never relised she had such a tragic reason for why she wanted to become a hero.
"O-oh... Im sorry Hagakure, I never knew-" Izuku said, getting cut off before he can say more.
"N-no don't apologize Midoriya! I mean I asked you, its only fair you knew as well." Hagakure said, gaining her bearings again. Shes never told anyone her full story on why she became a hero, shes always thought her story would make people pity her, be nice to her only because of her past, and shes never been one to tell people about her past. Specially when it comes to school. She doesnt know why she told Izuku so much, maybe because... She can trust him now? Well whats said is done, and now its Izukus turn. "Well, its your turn now. That last one doesnt count!" Hagakure said, forgetting to keep her voice down. Izuku couldnt really think of anything to ask surprisingly, anything he wanted to ask was either too personal or too soon in their friendship to ask. He just asked whatever came to mind.
"U-uh... W-what do you t-think of..." Izuku said, surprised that was the one and only question he could think of. He blushed, looking away slightly from Hagakure as he elaborated. "You know... About me." He said, blushing even more. Hagakure didnt know what he meant. Did he mean looks, personality, how great of a hero he was? She just found a way to say all of them at once.
"Well... Your a great hero in training, I mean you dove to save Asui at the USJ incident, and you always care about your friends, along with others. I think your a great friend too, even though you try to stray away from talking to people, come on man were people too, you relise ive been wanting to talk to you more since I met you?" Hagakure said, not necessarily wanting to say that last part. Izuku blushed. He never relised other people have wanted to talk to him so badly, specially Hagakure... Well its not like he could tell from her facial expression, up until now atleast.
"Sorry." He said, feeling bad. He wishes Hagakure told him earlier, even before he could see her he wouldve loved to talk to her more. A blush rushed over Hagakure as she got flushed.
"O-oh its nothing! Dont worry about it. Atleast were talking now." She said, hating herself for stuttering. They both blushed, although its clear that Hagakure was the one blushing the most. For the next hour Izuku and Hagakure talked nonstop, asking about their lives, about what they want to do in the future, they even went as far as to ask about eachothers parents, although Izuku couldnt really say much about his father. Hagakure felt so bad for Izuku, not only did he have to live with the bullying of other kids since he was quirkless at the time, but he never had that father figure to help him out. Hagakures parents were always there for her, even though they couldnt see her either. They both sat in silence after that, sure they were happy they talked with eachother, but there was nothing more to say, theyve said as much as they were willing to say. Just when Hagakure was gonna leave she could hear distant footsteps and talking, the voices sounding awfully familiar. When the door opened they could see Uraraka, Yaoyorozu and Recovery Girl behind them. Ochaco and Yaoyorozu looked almost surprised to see Hagakure, sitting on the foot of his bed. Hagakure blushed slightly, standing up quickly. "Oh, hey guys! Uhh who won?" Hagakure said, immediately looking away from Midoriya. Uraraka looked confused but didnt ask questions.
"Bakugo won against Todoroki. Although he was mad since he didnt use his right side, he was actung like a wild dog when he was presented his medal. They had to tie him up!" Uraraka said, laughing hysterically. The others started laughing too, while Recovery Girl just walked up to Izuku, wasting no time taking off his bandages. Izuku winced as she started unwrapping the bandages, his arms aching in sore pain. Hagakure looked away, she couldnt bear watching Izuku in pain, it made her heart almost shatter, she felt so close to Izuku now, theyve told eachother so much about themselves, now seeing Izuku in pain. She walked out of the room, covering her face, Izuku wanted to go talk to her but he when her tried to move Recovery Girl pulled him back. Hagakure figured she was done talking to anyone else, seeing as how the game has already ended. She tried blending into the giant crowds of people leaving the stadium, but seeing as how everyone else saw a piece of floating clothing, they all stared and gawked. Hagakure walked faster, trying to get back to her house. Luckily it wasnt very far away, so she got back in no time. She didnt even say to her mom as she walked into her room. She flopped onto her bed, gazing at her very much pink room.
"Ugh." She said to herself as she covered her face in one of her many pillows. "What just happened." She asked herself, she silently recapped it in her head. First she went to see Izuku, which turns out can now see her, he had some crazy dream about some lady who told him about this new quirk that could allow him to see her, then they talked for almost 2 hours... Then she saw him in pain and... "No!" She screamed, covering herself in bed sheets. "Im not falling for him." She told herself. "Just because he can see me doesnt mean anything." She said. She tried punching the bes, effectively ruining her perfectly made bed. 'But... He did say I was cute, no ones ever called me that... And he is the only person other than me too see what I really look like...' She thought. What if she was falling for him? What if he was falling for her? She shook her head, trying to get the thoughts out of her head. 'Theres no way he'd be falling for me, why would he? Hes only just seen what I look like for a few hours, plus im not that good looking..." She said, attemptng to convince herself. She slowly started feeling how tired she really was, from all the cheerleading, to participating in the Sports Games, she was beat. She slowly drifted off into sleep, dreaming an uncertain future.
"No im not falling for her!" Izuku said to himself, lifting weights in his room. Recovery Girl told him not to use his arms since he damaged them so much in the games, but from Izukus perspective, if he wanted to get stronger, hed have to work to make them stronger right? He started thinking about Hagakure as soon as she left the nurses office, and since then he couldnt get his mind off her. He thought about her face, her slightly tanned skin, her pristine white hair. She was surprisingly shorter than Izuku expected, maybe 4 foot 11 at most. Izuku was pretty short compared to the other boys in his class, but Hagakure was way shorter than even he was. But despite all those other traits, it was those purple eyes. The mysterious, almost magical eyes he first noticed about her when she walked in. Its like they stared into his soul, examining his each and every thought and action. Those purple eyes, it was almost like they enchanted him, putting him into a daze that only he can experience. As he started thinking, it started to make more sense, in his eyes atleast. Since hes one of the only people to be able to see her, he started feeling a connection only they can feel, he knows what she looks like, something only Hagakure knew up until a few hours ago. He could feel his arms getting weaker, and his eyes start to close as his drained stamina from Recovery Girls healing start to get to him. He layed down, covering himself as he drifted off into a deep sleep, thinking about Hagakures purple eyes.
End notes:
Wow! I did not expect this chapter to come out so good! Im so proud of how I wrote this and the new quirk that I made. I have another idea for a story, and thats probably gonna be my next priority along with Minas Seven Minutes, ill probably get to working on this more when I finish that. This was strange too because I started this right in the middle of the Sports Games, im gonna need to rewatch the show. Anyways I hope you enjoy this furture long story. I also fixed some spelling.
