Hey everyone! This is my first story within this fandom, and I hope I did the characters justice.

Also, this will update at least once a week, although I am hoping for five chapters a week.

This was beta-read by missingSkywalker, or Ebony as I call them.

Disclaimer: I do not own Boku no Hero Academia.

Izuku ran from Kacchan, a large smile upon his face. They were playing hide-and-go-seek, and Kacchan was it. But he didn't know if Kacchan knew how to play. He didn't count to ten or close his eyes. He just ran after Izuku. But there is a good chance they could be playing tag. He wasn't exactly told that they were meeting up today, but that doesn't matter. He must have forgotten that they were meeting. It has happened before. Especially if he goes on a mumbling tangent.

He skidded to a stop; an abandoned building catching his eye. It was large, almost to the point of looming over him. It was perfect for what he wanted to do. He entered the building, large ogives throughout the halls. A smile grew on his face. He had always wanted to use the word ogive after seeing in a book. After all, most normal houses don't have any.

He shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He couldn't get distracted. Kacchan would want to win no matter what, and Izuku had to prepare for that. He found a crevice, one that is sufficient for hiding, but also has a way for him to run if they're playing tag. It's the best he could do. But, it would make this so much easier if his quirk was invisibility. Then all he had to do was stand still and Kacchan couldn't see him. Unless he ran into Izuku. Or if he made smoke. Maybe teleportation would work better. He could teleport behind Kacchan, or teleport people away. That's a good question. Could he teleport other people away? Maybe if he-

"Deku! I can hear your mumbling from here!" Kacchan shouted. Izuku shrunk back into his crevice, arms pressed to his sides. He prevented himself from scrunching his eyes shut, as having his sight was very important. "And stop hiding like a coward!"

Izuku just bit his lip. No matter what they were playing, keeping quiet would be the best option. But it didn't help him in this case. Kacchan still found him. He always found him. It's almost like he could smell him. Oh! That would be such a cool quirk too! "Why are you hiding around? You're not scared, are you Deku?" Kacchan hissed, a thin grin upon his face.

"I'm not K-Kacchan." But his stutter gave Izuku away.

"Of course you are. I shouldn't've asked." Kacchan curved his hands to the ceiling, small explosions popping. "You shouldn't play with the big kids. Our quirks are dangerous."

"I'll g-get my quirk K-Kacchan!" Izuku protested, "And i-it'll be s-something cool!"

A lazy smirk tugged at Kacchan's lips. "Doubt it."

Tears threatened to spill over, but Izuku held onto his composure. But when he opened his mouth to speak, words won't come out. "Finally struck speechless, huh?" Kacchan thrusted his hand towards the wall next to him, and a burning smell filled the room. He shied away, not meeting Kacchan's eyes. "You know what will happen if I let my quirk go. So listen carefully. You're just going to be a useless, quirkless Deku and nothing will change that. So, stop following us."

Tear were falling down Izuku's face, blurring his vision. Kacchan up turned his chin, a dismissing smile on his face. Could Kacchan be enjoying this? Izuku couldn't believe it. Wouldn't believe it.

After an entirely of being frozen, Kacchan removed his hand. He turned and sauntered off, hands planted in his pockets. Izuku released a breath and rubbed at his eyes. He was going to get a quirk and it was going be an amazing one. Then Kacchan would finally be his friend.

Would he? A voice whispered in his head.

But Izuku just pushed the thought aside. Of course he would.
