Edit: I noticed that there were some mistakes that I forgot to correct. Please tell me if there are any mistakes in this story that I may have overlooked.

This is one of my very first fanfictions that I'm writing on this site, so I apologize if the story doesn't meets your standards! Also on some parts, I have no idea how they explained it, for example the part when Izuku is told he is quirkless. I could re-watch the anime, but that would just make me procrastinate even more. (By the way sorry for my bad grammar, I'm really bad at phrasing.)

Now onto the story!


3rd person POV

"Your son is quirkless."

Once these words have been said, the boy who was sitting only a few feet away, froze. His face was filled with shock and confusion. The boy wanted to ask a simple question of "why" or "how", but he was unable to move. The seconds that passed felt like hours. It almost as if they would be there forever, but the doctor continued.

"Based on the x-rays, we've noticed that Izuku here has an extra joint in his toe. Within the evolution of quirks, it's been noted that people born with quirks generally do not have that extra part." The doctor said in a stern voice. "Before quirks developed, many people had these extra toe joints. It is, however, still possible that your son will obtain a quirk. It is nearly impossible though."

"A-are you certain that he'll almost never receive a quirk?" Questioned the parent that sat to the left of the boy presumed to be Izuku.

"Yes, and even if he does have a quirk, it might be a very subtle one. Developing a quirk after the age of four is also unlikely." The doctor paused for a second before continuing. "There are only a few times that it occured to someone with the issue as your son."

"I see. Is there anything else that we need to know?" Stated the parent sitting to the right of Izuku.

"No, I've told you everything I needed to. You three are free to leave, unless you have anymore questions?" Asked the doctor.

"We'll be taking our l-leave." The parent that sat to the left uttered in a shaky voice.

As the parent said that, Izuku snapped out of his frozen state. His face was still covered in the same shock as before, but with a mix of sadness in it. He didn't comprehend the words the doctor said. All he could even think about was that single word. That one word that would ruin Izuku's entire life.

"Quirkless"


Izuku sat unmoving in his chair that sat right in front of his computer. A video was playing on the screen, a man stood in front of collapsed buildings with fires all around. The man had a big smile on his face as he yelled something out.

"It's fine now. Why? Because I am here!"

Even with the confidence in his voice, Izuku still sat staring at the screen, tears falling down his face. The video stopped, and restarted from the beginning for what seems to be the hundredth time. Two people looked into his room, concerned by the loud sobs that came from Izuku's room.

"M-mom, dad, can I still become a h-hero?" Izuku asked his parents.

Izuku's mother ran towards her son, embracing Izuku in a tight hug. His dad, however, stood at the entrance of the door.

"I'm sorry Izuku! I'm sorry! I'm sorry…"

She began to sob along with Izuku, mumbling "I'm sorry" over, and over again. This continued on for few minutes. That is, until Izuku fell asleep in his mother's arms She didn't even notice, and kept crying. She didn't stop holding Izuku in her arms until Izuku's dad interrupted.

"Inko, I think he fell asleep."

Izuku's mom, who's name appeared to Inko, looked over at her son. He appeared to have tired himself out in her arms, his face seeming to be peaceful.

"O-oh, I didn't even realize." She muttered, trying to stop her crying. She picked Izuku up and placed him gently in his All Might themed bed.

"Hey..Inko, you know that this isn't your fault. You shouldn't have to apologize to anyone."

"I..I know that Hisashi, but it isn't that." She said in a grim voice. "I'm just.. worried about how the other kids at his school will react. I won't be able to protect him there."

The man, Hisashi, looked at Inko directly in the eye. "Have more faith in his friends. They won't abandon him just because he's quirkless. Even if they did, he still has Katsuki to be there with him!"

A small smile grew on Inko's face."Yeah, I… guess you're right. They're only children, what's the worst thing that could happen?"

The conversation ended at that, both adults leaving to go sleep. Despite the conversation bringing hope to both parents, that was the exact opposite thing that would occur the next day.


"Oi! Deku!" A voice yelled out in a very aggressive tone.

"O-o-oh. Hey K-k-kacchan" Izuku, or Deku as the boy called him, stuttered as he tried to respond in a calm voice.

"So, what's your quirk?" Said the young boy who Izuku had called Kacchan "My parents said you went to the doctors to try and discover your quirk. I doubt it's as good as mine though." To emphasize his point, both his hands created an explosion that was quite powerful for someone his age.

"W-well you see K-kacchan, my doctor said that I have an extra joint in my toe. H-he said that many people t-that aren't born with that part have a q-quirk. People b-born with that p-part-" Izuku didn't finish his sentence before he was cut off.

"Get to the goddamn point Deku, we don't have all day. And stop calling me that stupid nickname. It's Katsuki, dumbass." Katsuki remarked

"S-sorry Kacc- Katsuki." Izuku stuttered.

"Whatever, just answer the fucking question."

"People born with that p-part are q-q-q-quirkless." Izuku barely managed to get that word out.

"So you really are a Deku aren't you? You should just give up that dream of yours. No one needs a quirkless brat like you getting in their way." Katsuki declared as he starting walking away, his voice surprisingly wasn't sure what to say. But for some reason, his body moved on his own and grabbed the other boy's arm.

"W-wait! Kacch-"

He was interrupted by explosions, causing his hand to become burned.

"Don't touch me!" Katsuki screamed, back to his aggressive voice. "I don't need quirkless scum like you being around me!"

Izuku held onto his hand in pain. For a four, almost five year old, Katsuki was very violent and powerful. Katsuki began to walk off yet again, leaving Izuku to start his cruel fate.


Authors Note:

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. This is REALLY short. It's is barely making it to 1,000 words. In my defense, I started this 4 days ago, and if I were to wait another day to conclude this chapter, I would never get this done. I'm better writing things when I know that other people are reading and waiting for the next chapter. But I mean, It's not like many people are going to read this. I'm a terrible writer, so if you somehow enjoy this, you have bad taste. Not saying this to offend anyone, but my writing style is just terrible. Anyways, try not to expect to much from me, but I'll try to get a second chapter in before the end of this month. If you find anything wrong with this, please tell me. Even If you just put, "This story is so bad." I'll take it. It still helps me fix up my writing! When I upload this chapter I'm going to regret it so bad. I'm probably going to rewrite this once I get to the 5th chapter. Not a lot happened so it just feels bland.

If you read up to this point, good for you!
