for your TGIF Writing Prompts... maybe your take on what would happen if Izuku (BNHA) never gained One for All, and/or never met All Might? Alternitivly, what do you think would have happened if he was born with a quirk? (your choice, or both, or neither, thank you for your existance it is a blessing)

This was what obscurity felt like.

Wearily, Izuku trekked home, placing one foot in front of the other. He stared at the ground, the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Slowly the door to his apartment came into view. Izuku pulled out his keys, unlocked the door. His shoes, still damped from the coffee that had been thrown at him, were propped up for drying. He shrugged off his business jacket, hanging it on the peg.

This was what a boring desk job felt like.

Just another day at the office. The taunts of his boss rang in his ears, the snicker and whispers of his co-workers. Izuku mechanically went through the motions, washing his bento box and placing it on the dish rack to dry. A small dinner was prepared; Izuku loosely picking at his food.

He checked his phone messages, seeing nothing new. It wasn't a surprise, since his mother passed away, there was no one who called. Who wanted to be friends with a Quirkless person? He skimmed over the paper, mildly noting that Bakugou had risen in rank as a pro-hero again. He was steadily climbing to the top, but Lemillion still held the position of number one whose abilities and presence being herald as the next All Might.

Izuku place the paper in the bin, cleaned up his dinner dishes and proceeded to his shower. Dressed in his favorite comfortable clothing, Izuku trudge down the hall to his bedroom. He opened the door, and stared straight up at the noose that hung from the ceiling.

It would be all over soon.

Miles away, confined to a hospital bed, Toshinori flipped through today's newspaper. There in the small corner of the obituaries reported the death of Midoriya Izuku, age 24 by suicide. His body hadn't been discovered until three days later when his neighbors complained of the smell. He had no surviving family members.

A memory stirred in Toshinori mind, a flash of green eyes filled with desperate determination. His thoughts churned and he couldn't help but think:

What if?
