AN: Hey again, so I made that first chapter right before I went to sleep and didn't expect anyone to actually read this. Thank you to the 1freakshow and Death God of Miracles for leaving a review on the chapter, I'm glad you enjoyed, and thank you to those who liked and followed, it really means a lot. So I guess I'm doing this now, I hope you see my writing evolve as I go along, and I accept any suggestions. I don't have a beta, so you will have to trust my knowledge of the English language for now (lol). Do not worry, I have a slight idea of what I'm doing, and I don't intend to leave this fic unfinished, it would just bug the hell out of me. I am just making this because I had the idea for the second chapter already, the next chapters won't update this fast, sorry. They will still be kids now, so no UA yet, but do not worry, I am working on getting to there. So sorry for this long tangent, and on with the story.
"WAKE UP BRO" yelled the familiar loud-mouthed blonde Izuku has known to be his.
"Uhhhhhh," Izuku groggily opened his eyes to see his bedside digital clock, it was 5:30 AM. "Naruto," he mumbled, "it's too early, how long have you been up." This has been the routine for the past two years, he has grown somewhat accustomed to having the energetic blonde around the house. His mom has explained that Naruto was an orphan, and they were the only family that would take him in. He has grown to like having him for the last couple of months, but he still did not appreciate his sleep schedule being interrupted like this.
"About an hour or so," Naruto beamed, "I couldn't sleep, I get to go to real school, I only ever had a tutor when I was at the orphanage."
Izuku sighed and smiled, Naruto's enthusiasm was infectious. He never thought he would hear someone who was excited about school. Izuku groggily got up and put on his clothes, may as well at this point, he couldn't fall back to sleep now. "Wow, I never will get used to that," said Naruto while smirking.
"Huh," said a confused Izuku. He looked down and blushed, he was wearing his All Might pajamas with the hood down. He was going to sputter before he saw something and smirked, "Yeah, and I'm already used to that," he said and pointed at Naruto's head.
Naruto patted his head and immediately stopped smirking, he was wearing his nightcap. It was a black cap with eyes and teeth on the end of it. "Hey, don't make fun of the cap, it is too cool for you anyways," Naruto exclaimed.
Deku laughed at his 's expense and proceeded to finish getting ready. They passed the time by Izuku telling Naruto everything he will need to know about the school. He even let him have a peek at the notes he's been taking on all of the pro heroes.
"Wow these are a lot of notes, how do you get all of these," asked Naruto.
"Oh, I see them a lot on T.V and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I see them in public and get to see them in action, even if they are just petty crimes," said Izuku, excited someone was interested in his notes.
"Hmmmm, maybe I should start taking notes, then we can compare them," said Naruto.
"Yeah that could be fun," said Izuku, barely able to hold in his excitement that he can share his passion with someone his age, "here, take this spare notebook I have"
Naruto thanked him and immediately jotted down some notes he knew about heroes off the top of his head.
"Boys, you better get going to school" shouted their mom from the kitchen, "here I made you some toast with jam so that you can eat on your way there."
"Thanks mom" the young boys both said as they ran off for their first day of school.
Inko smiled as she saw them leave for school, she was happy at how quickly it took Naruto to call her mom. She was happier to see that her young Izuku now has a close friend with him, she worried about his lack of friends due to him being quirkless, but Naruto didn't seem to care, it only made him want to protect Izuku as s should. Inko smiled lessened when she remembered Naruto's unfortunate upbringing, it was a miracle he turned out so okay. She shook away those thoughts and smiled, that didn't matter now, what mattered was the fact that those boys had each other now and are helping each other more than they know.
-School-
Izuku took his usual seat in the back and Naruto took the empty seat next to him. He looked around and saw that everyone stayed away from Izuku. He knew that Izuku said he didn't have any friends, but he didn't think that everyone stayed away from him like the plague. Those who did spare a glance his way would only snicker and whisper something to their friends. Naruto didn't like that one bit and a glare followed by a bit of red entering his clear blue eyes shut them right up. Izuku didn't notice as he was too focused on taking more notes in his book.
"Who is this Deku, did you trick some rando into being friends with a loser like you," shouted a very loud boy with red eyes and spiky blonde hair.
Deku suddenly became very scared and started to stutter, "N-no i-it's not l-like that at all Kacchan."
Bakugo got really mad and started mini-explosions on his hand, "DID I TELL YOU TO TALK LOSER."
"B-but y-y-y-ou asked me the question though," whimpered Izuku.
"Hey, I don't know who you are, but his name is Izuku Midoriya and the only loser I am seeing in here is you," Naruto said, clear anger at the boy in front of him who dare mock his.
Bakugo smirked and said, "Ha I don't know what this loser told you but his name is Deku because it means loser, he's a quirkless nobody and you shouldn't be hanging around him."
Naruto was clearly annoyed and replied, "The person i shouldn't be hanging around with is you, now leave before I make you leave," he got into Bakugo's face as he said this.
Bakugo got clearly more angry as explosions started to emanate from his palms at a higher rate. He got closer to Naruto and yelled, "OH YEAH AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT"
"Do you want to find out," Naruto said, he was clearly getting more annoyed by the minute and his eyes were starting to turn that dangerous red as he inched closer to Bakugo.
"G-g-guys d-don't fight please," Izuku said, very clearly shaken, he never seen Naruto get this mad and was surprised that his eyes were actually changing color, probably due to his quirk.
The two stubborn blondes didn't seem to hear as they inched closer and closer, with a chant of "FIGHT FIGHT" coming from the class.
They were about to follow through on their threats when suddenly a stretchy arm came and smack them both on the head, "Settle down right now, class will start soon and it's too early to be dealing with this" the teacher said, clearly already fed up with the day, despite it being 8:00 AM.
The two blondes went to sit down, never stopping the heated glares between them. Naruto's eyes changed back to blue as he paid attention to what the teacher was saying, Bakugo however never stopped glaring.
"Anyways we have a new student today who you all may know already. Naruto Uzumaki may you please stand up and tell the class something about yourself," the teacher said once everyone settled down.
Naruto happily stood up and said to the class,"Hello I am Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen and heroes, I dislike bullies," he said this while glaring at Bakugo, Bakugo glared back but a swift chop from the teacher stopped them both, "anyways," Naruto continued, "I also dislike the 2 minutes it takes to get instant ramen ready, and my dream is to become an even better hero than All Might."
"Thank you Naruto, now that that is over with, on with the lesson." the teacher said, wanting to get this over with already.
Class went by smoothly enough, with the teacher having to break up a few spats between Naruto and Bakugo a few times. It was now lunchtime and Izuku and Naruto were eating lunch at the far table in the back. Bakugo and his lackeys were nowhere to be seen, they didn't care just means time to eat in peace.
"Hey Naruto, thank you for standing up for me, I can never stand up to Bakugo the way you did," Izuku said, looking visibly downtrodden.
Naruto only smiled and said, "Hey I'm only doing what brothers do, and don't talk like that, I bet anything that if you tried you can beat Bakugo no sweat."
Izuku smile but said, "Thanks Naruto, but I still don't have a quirk, so I don't stand a chance against Kacchan."
Naruto shook his head and said, "Remember brother, quirks weren't so common before, people were able to fight without any powers, if you trained hard enough, then Bakugo will be cowering in fear of your power."
Izuku quickly imagined a scared Bakugo while he stood over him menacingly. He quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know how that's going to happen, I don't know any martial arts at all, or how to use a weapon. The most I remember is seeing this Judo flip on T.V once, but I'm too small to do that."
Naruto started to have gears turn in his head as he was thinking. Suddenly he slammed his fist on his palm, "I know, you and I can train together, I was taught a bunch of routines and stuff when I was at the orphanage, and I'm sure we can find some martial arts videos on the internet. Once we get older, we'll be so strong that no one, not even Bakugo, would mess with us."
Izuku was shocked, he never thought about trying to learn any martial arts, he thought that a quirk was necessary to become a hero. However, Naruto showed him that maybe there are other ways he can achieve his dream. He smiled and said, "Okay, once we get home we'll start training and seeing what we can do to get stronger together. I'll probably become stranger than you Naruto."
Naruto smiled and said, "Fat chance bro, I'm going to be the strongest hero in the world, you can settle for second place."
They fist bumped as they cemented their new rivalry, Izuku was looking forward to becoming stronger. They heard the bell and went to class for another uneventful day.
As they were on their way home the heard a shout from behind them, "Hey, Deku's loser friend."
They turned to see Bakugo glaring at them as he approached them with his lackeys. "You got a lot of nerve to disrespect me like that, I think it's time for some payback," he said, his palms exploding in anticipation.
"Stop Kacchan, he was just standing up for me," Izuku said as he got in between Bakugo and Naruto before things could escalate, he surprisingly said this without stuttering. Bakugo got angry and put his hand on Izuku's shoulder, smoldering his shoulder.
"Stay out of this Deku, of course, you need someone to stand up for you, you quirkless loser," Bakugo said, preparing to shove Izuku aside.
He didn't know why, but Izuku decided to do something he never dreamed of. He grabbed Bakugo's arm and before he can register what is going on, flipped him over his shoulder. However, when Bakugo was in the air, he lost his balance and fell on top of Bakugo as he slammed onto the ground.
Naruto picked up Izuku and ran to their house as they heard Bakugo shouting curses to them.
"You got lucky Deku, Seems right that you can only knock me down by catching me by surprise you loser, come back here and we can finish this" Bakugo shouted. He was still in shock that Deku would do that, how could that loser think he can stand up to him, he was the best. He glared as Izuku ran, next time they confront each other, it won't be pleasant.
As they were running Naruto turned to Izuku, "Bro when I said you should stand up to Bakugo, I didn't expect you to judo flip him today, I thought you said you couldn't do that," he said this with the biggest grin on his face.
"I don't know, I just had this urge and I was tired of not standing up for myself, you saved twice already if I'm going to surpass you, I have to confront my fears," Izuku said, with determination on his face.
Naruto smile and said, "I'm always going to have your back, no matter how strong you get, but this is a huge step towards becoming an awesome hero, let's just work on your form a bit."
Izuku blushed a little and laughed, he liked having Naruto as a brother, it gave him the confidence that he can be who he wants. He knew that with Naruto by his side, he can overcome anything.
The two ran home and began to plan their workout routine, it was going to be brutal, but it was worth it if it meant that they will become the greatest heroes ever. The duo smiled as they finally had their whole routine planned out, even for when they got older, they felt ready to take on the world, and they just might one day.
Okay, there it is, another chapter done. As I said the future updates won't be this fast, I just had this chapter storyboarded already so I thought, ehh, why not. I hope you enjoyed, like if you did. Leave a review it helps me become better as a writer and even leave a flame because who am I to stop you. Feel free to PM me if you have any ideas and that will be all until the next chapter. Deuces
