Hello strange people who I don't know! I've written a few stories before. . . I haven't finished a single one but WHATEVER! I do plan to finish this story. I have most of the plot already planned out and ready to be written. I will probably post a new chapter every one or two weeks so be ready for that. There might be pairings between Izuocha or Bakudeku I don't know quite yet so yyyeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. . . if you have any questions or ideas please review. ENJOY!
Tears streamed down the young, green haired boy's cheeks. He was clutching his, now scratched up, elbow as he sat in the nurse's office. He was waiting for the nurse to come back with a bandage and an ice pack. As he sat there waiting, he finally stopped crying and took a look around. The walls were covered in blue and white, while the floor was tiled with red. There were red cabinets on the left side of the room and a window to his right that was blocked by a shield of green curtains. The only thing the boy could think of the room was… tacky.
"Izuku," the nurse finally got back from his journey for ice packs, "I found where the teachers hid my stuff." he smiled.
Izuku smiled back. The two had become talking buddies because of how frequent Izuku found himself getting hurt. This time the boy had been pushed by one of his fellow students and had fallen off of the bench he was sitting on.
"The teachers like to prank you a lot, don't they?" Izuku laughed while stretching out his arm for the nurse to wrap it.
"Yes, they do. Most times it's not even funny though," after wrapping the freckled boy's arm he raised his own arms up and waved them frantically, "what if one of the students got seriously hurt and I couldn't take care of them because I couldn't find my stuff?!"
Izuku giggled at the nurse's silliness and waited for him to place the ice pack on his elbow. That's when it happened… his quirk activated.
"OUCH!"
"Dr. Hilldan?!" Izuku cried when he saw the nurse fly back and hit the red cabinets.
"W-w-wha-what?" the man on the floor stuttered out as he rubbed the back of his swollen head.
"What just happened?! Are you okay?" green hair bounced as Izuku jumped down from the bed he was on. He ran over to the aching man and touched his shoulder.
The nurse flinched which made Izuku let go of his shoulder and look down with guilt, "I don't know what I did… but I'm sorry," tears started to build up under green eyes before they were wiped away by the, now smiling, nurse.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Izuku. You just manifested your quirk."
Izuku's eyes were wide with shock while a smile started to form on his face, "REALLY?!"
Dr. Hilldan covered his ears, hoping that he hadn't just gone deaf to how loud the boy next to him was. When he uncovered them, he let out a sigh of relief as he could still hear. The nurse looked over to Izuku and let his smile show again before nodding. Izuku started to squeal and scream with an overload of joy. The young, freckled, green haired, boy was the happiest he had ever been. Then again he was still only four, plus, his happiness seemed to fade away not to much later.
It had been about three days later, when he finally found out the true purpose of his quirk. It was pain. His pain, mental or physical, made him stronger and more powerful in more ways than one. He was still happy at the time because no matter what his quirk was, he still had one. That feeling changed that night, when the four year old Izuku had heard his mother crying in the kitchen over the fact that her baby would have to get hurt to fulfill his dream. This had made the four year-old boy cry as well. He hadn't wanted to make his mother cry because of his quirk, if anything he'd hoped she'd cry with happiness because he had finally gotten the thing he wanted most, the first step to being a hero.
About a month later, Izuku started to notice a trend. Everyone he knew, one by one, slowly plucked him out of their lives, just like how you would pluck a feather. He had hoped he was just imagining it, but it was obvious no one wanted to be friends with him. Izuku started to realize why people began avoiding him…
"Hey, Izuku!" Hinlu, one of the freckled boy's friends, yelled out.
Izuku quickly turned around and smiled at his incoming friend from across the mulch filled playground, "hey, Hinlu!" he waved back at the girl.
When the girl finally reached her friend, she sat down on her knees so her dress could lay flat on her thighs without revealing anything. Her dress was covered in cute, pink hearts with a pink ribbon wrapped around her waist. Her hair, which just about reached her shoulders, matched her dress with a bright, blinding pink that rivaled the prettiest of pinks. She was pretty much the definition of pink.
"I heard you finally got a quirk!" Hinlu exclaimed.
Izuku's smile faltered for a second, remembering all of the people who started avoiding him because of his quirk. He realized that Hinlu was way too kind to do something like that but…
"Izuku?" the pink covered girl tilted her head.
"Oh! Sorry!" Izuku scratched the back of his head nervously, "yeah. It's cool I guess."
"Whatever it is, it definitely isn't better than mine," Hinlu smiled as she pointed to herself.
Hinlu's quirk was called Pink Matter. It let her create anything she wanted, a solid, liquid, gas and, her personal favorite, goo. Another thing about her quirk was that is was always pink, no matter what she made, it turned out pink. She had once covered Izuku in pink goo by accident when she first got her quirk, two months prior.
"Yeah! Your quirk is pretty cool!" Izuku had finally gotten his nervousness under control.
"What is your quir-"
Before Hinlu could finish her question, Izuku got stung by a bee and let out a yelp. That yelp had been different then his usual yelps. This one had been louder and very powerful. Too powerful. Hinlu was pushed back by the force of Izuku's yelp and landed about a foot away from where she was before. In that moment, Izuku realized why everyone avoided him. It was because they didn't want to get hurt.
"I-I'm so so so sorry!" Izuku started to sob into his hands, tears dripping in between his fingers.
Hinlu was surprised by the sudden burst of wind that hit her right in the gut and she even felt pain starting to build up around her stomach. None of that mattered though, why? Because her best friend was crying and she knew that he was blaming himself for her pain. She quickly got up and ignored the pain in her abdomen as she ran over to Izuku's side.
"Izuku, please don't cry." She pleaded.
"B-b-but I-I h-hu-hurt-hurted y-yo-you!" Izuku forced his voice out between his uncontrollable sobs.
"No you didn't," at this, Izuku lifted up his head, "it was the bee's fault for stinging you."
Izuku paused his crying for a minute before giggling a little, "I-I kn-knew you wou-wouldn't leave m-me." he sniffled.
"Why would I leave my best friend?"
"Everyone else did." green hair flopped down as Izuku stared sadly at the ground.
Hinlu made the most dramatic gasp she could leave her mouth before saying, "that only means they are jealous of you and THAT means that they. Don't. Deserve. You!"
"WHO SAID I LEFT YOU, DEKU?!" the two four year-olds looked over to see Bakugou marching over to them with his hands balled up into fist.
"Kacchan… " the young Izuku said, shocked that his explosive friend was still talking to him, "b-but-"
"NOPE! YOU KNOW WHY I CALLED YOU DEKU? BECAUSE YOU ARE USELESSLY MOPING AROUND AND DEKU MEANS USELESS, SO STOP BEING USELESS." Bakugou stopped for a minute to calm down a little before adding, "plus, you are the only one with a quirk that can actually rival mine for once… SO consider yourself lucky, Deku!" he crossed his arms and looked away with a growl.
Izuku was left in shock for a minute before smiling widely and jumping onto the young Bakugou. "Thank you, Kacchan!"
"GET OFF OF ME YOU STUPID DEKU!" Izuku obliged but kept his smile while Hinlu laughed.
That's right, Izuku still had his friends there with him. They would never leave him behind just because of a stupid quirk that could scratch them a little.
I know! This chapter is a bit short but I plan to make the next one longer. BTW if you're waiting for the story to get to the canon plot soon then you're out of luck! It'll get there eventually but that eventually is a long way from now.
