Chapter 2

"Deku!" Uraraka shouted as she rushed over to help him, but he fainted. The rest of the class started to come back to life. They were all shocked and confused at the most normalkid in class sing his heart out, in English never the less. Kaminari looked over to Jiro who was now going through the footage that she had taken of Izuku belting is heart out. He tapped her on the shoulder and she took out her earphone jack and looked at him.

"Did you recognize that song?" He asked.

"Not at all. It looks like he was playing from his notebook so…" Jiro said. Kaminari's eyes widened as he got what she was saying.

"You think he wrote that?" He asked. All she did was nod. Kaminari looked over at the kid getting fanned by Uraraka and Tenya who was now over there as well. Yaoyorozu was picking up the papers that were scattered everywhere along with Tokoyami and Tsu.

"Yo Bakugo, did you know he could do that?" Ashido asked him as all eyes turned to the blond who now had a scowl on.

"How the fuck was I supposed to know he was an okay singer? He changed schools when I was seven." He answered. Jiro turned on him and scowled.

"He's an amazing singer, he also wrote that song and the piano piece to go along with it. He's not 'okay' He's the best singer I have ever heard." She shouted at him which got many people's attention. It was known that Jiro loved music, Yaoyorozu said that her room and her house looked like a rock memorabilia restaurant she went to in America when she was over at Jiro's house. So, when Jiro made that statement, most if not all knew just how good Izuku was. Todoroki who stood silently, contemplating the whole thing decided to speak up.

"If he is this good why did he hide it?" He asks the class who started thinking about it. They stood in silence for a minute before the main man himself answered the question for them.

"My teeth." He said and all heads turned to him sitting up from Uraraka's lap. "My quirk was mis-diagnosed when I was little and the doctor thought it was my four extra incisors. Ever since that day whenever I told someone that my teeth were my quirk I was made fun of. What they didn't realize was that because my mouth was bigger I had more range in my voice."

"That's scientifically incorrect." Yaoyorozu said "Just because you have more teeth doesn't mean that you have a bigger singing range."

"M-maybe, but I'm not going to fix my teeth and find out." Izuku said standing up. He sighed and looked around the room. All he got back where stares from his classmates which unnerved him. "W-what?"

"That's all you have to say? What?" Kaminari stated.

"Uh-um yeah?" He said meekly. Kaminari sighed.

"They're expecting you to tell them your story and how never told us about your singing ability." Iida said with flailing hands almost knocking the notebook out of Tokoyami's hands who shot him a glare. Izuku sighed and pursed his lips, showing off the buck teeth he was so self-conscious about.

"Fine."

Seven years old

"Izuku darling are you alright?" Inko franticly asked as her son walked through the door, well limped was the more correct word. He had cuts and bruises on his arms and legs with one particularly nasty cut on his leg still open. He placed his hand over his mouth before he talked.

"I'm fine mom." He said sadly. Inko put her hands on her hips.

"That's not fine darling. And why are you covering your mouth?" She asks. Izuku looks away in shame.

"Cause my mouth is ugly." He muttered. Inko looked surprised. It was the first time he had said anything bad about his teeth or his mouth.

"No it isn't darling. Why would you-"

"Yes it is!" He snapped, uncovering his mouth showing the cut on his lower lip. "Everyone says so, Kacchan and everyone says so! I even heard my teacher say so! Why did I have to be born with a stupid quirk!" He was on the verge of tears. Inko felt shame. Shame that she didn't notice her baby boy in pain. She kneeled down beside him and cupped his cheek. He grabbed her hand and looked into his mother's eyes. She hated seeing those eyes, those beautiful emerald eyes filled with tears, but she needed to take a book out of All Might's page and smile.

"I think you have a great mouth. I especially love when you smile, I don't care about your extra teeth when you smile because I find it beautiful. I also find it beautiful when you sing for me or for Mr. Brian. You love to sing, I love that you love it. Please don't call your mouth ugly when it can be used for so much beauty." Izuku who was listening with rapt attention started crying again and ran to hug his mother.

"I'm sorry mom! I'm so sorry!" He cried into her shoulder. Inko hugged her son with a sad smile. Once Izuku had let it all out they let go of each other and he stepped back. Inko took her apron and wiped the tears off of his face.

"How about we get you cleaned up before your lesson today, hmm?" She asked him. He nodded and Inko stood up and led him to the bathroom to get cleaned up. An hour later he was sitting in the home of one Brian May, an old family friend of the Midoriya's, going through a piano composition that Brian had taught him last lesson. Mr. Brian as Izuku called him was an older, accomplished guitar player along with knowing the piano and vocalist techniques. Brian has been teaching Izuku for around two-and-a-half years now and could tell when something was off with the boy. He had several bandages and cuts on his arms and legs, plus a cut on his bottom lip. He knew Inko well enough to not suspect abuse on her part so it must have happened at school or on the walk home.

"Alright buddy let's stop right there for now." He said and Izuku stopped before taking a drink of water from the water bottle besides him. Brian gave the boy a little push with his hand. Izuku giggled and gave the older man enough room to sit down on the bench. Brian smiled and sat down besides him. "How are you doing today Izuku?" He asks. Izuku looked confused at the question.

"I'm good?" Izuku asks and answered at the same time. Brian gave the boy a light glare and Izuku looked away. "I'm alright."

"Those cuts say otherwise. What happened Izuku?" Brian asked a bit sternly. Izuku looked down in shame.

"I-I was, there was another kid who my friend Kacchan was bullying and I stepped in to stop him. He called me some names before beating me up and leaving. The other kid left as well." Brian was having a hard time to keep calm right now. He looked up and out the window behind the piano, showing the large backyard he had. He took a deep breath in then exhaled before talking.

"Was this the first time this had happened?" He asked looking back at Izuku. He meekly shook his head. "And the teachers?"

"They don't like me." He said dejected. "They called my teeth ugly and they praise Kacchan for his quirk." Brian thought for a moment. He'd call Inko once Izuku was in bed and help her figure something out about this whole situation but right now he needed to help Izuku. But how?

"He doesn't seem like a good friend." Brian said, thinking out loud.

"No! He is!" Izuku defended him. 'Bingo' Brian thought.

"Izuku, I don't think anyone who splits your lip open is considered a friend. But that's just me." He said off-handedly. He wanted Izuku to come to the conclusion himself, not tell him out right. Izuku huffed at him.

"But he is super strong, and talented! Plus, his quirk is amazing!" He exclaimed. Brian shook his head.

"Doesn't matter whether you have power or not. What matters is how you help others with it. It seems like this Kacchan doesn't help people." Brian said.

"Bu-but…" Izuku thought for a moment before slouching back down on the stool. "He was my only friend." He muttered sadly. Brian's expression softened as he put an arm around the boy.

"Real heroes and friends don't put people down, they lift people up. From what I see you were the only hero and friend in this situation." He said which make Izuku sit a little straighter. They sat in silence for a moment before Izuku spoke up again.

"Did you mean it?" He asked.

"Which part?"

"That I'm a hero." Izuku looked up to his teacher with hope. In Brian's eyes he saw a kid who needed to be told the right words. So, he did.

"You can be a great hero Izuku, because your heart is that of a true hero." He said with a smile. For the second time that day he cried into the arms of someone who was his hero.

Present day

"Even as a little kid you were a giant dick." Sero told Bakugo who turned on him.

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAY YOU SCOTCH TAPE FUCKER!" He shouted. Sero then ran and hid behind Kirishima.

"Hey, don't get me in the middle of it man!" Kirishima shouted as Bakugo chased them to the other side of the room. Izuku chuckled.

"I'm glad and sad that he didn't change a lot from when we were kids." He said.

"So, what happened after that?" Hagakure asked him. Izuku blushed lightly and bit his lower lip.

"Well, Mr. Brian called Mom and told her everything. She made a lot of calls, got a couple teachers fired, Kacchan grounded for a year and sever-"

"Still pissed off at you for that!" He shouted angrily from the other side. A couple chuckles from the other students.

"And I switched schools to another elementary school." He finished.

"Damn, never mess with mama Midoriya." Ashido said which garnered some more laughter.

"Is that where you met Kendo?" Yaoyorozu asked which got him to blush more deeply and nod.

"Y-yes."

AN: So don't expect a chapter this Thursday because I probably put of homework for this. Now, the guitarist of Queen is Izuku's piano and singing instructor. I'll try to get the other members of Queen in this story but I'm not sure where I could fit them in. I have many great ideas for this story that I can't wait to put on here. Next up is chapter 3. Itsuka Kendo and Izuku Midoriya meet. That'll be fun given the little clues. See you guys next time. -3008

P.S: Sorry to all the Izuku X Jirou shippers out there. She'll still be around but not in the way you want.
