"Mirio won't mind if I take a day off" Izuku laughed to himself as he continued his walk eating the chips he had bought.
Izuku had decided to take a nice walk alongside the beach he decided to clean up alongside his best friend two years ago.
Deciding this was a nice enough spot to stop at, he sits himself down on a bench beside a skeletal looking man with blonde hair.
Closing his eyes Izuku soaks up the sun content with just listening to the sound of the waves, that is until the gaunt man decides to break the silence.
"Something on your mind young man?" the sickly man asks.
Opening his eyes Izuku looks to his left to see the blonde adult looking to him with a softness in his eyes he's only ever seen with Mirio and most recently Aizawa sensei. For some reason it makes Izuku want to open to the man.
"You don't have to if you don't want to, but I hear talking to people is good for you" he says with a smile that Izuku can swear he's seen before.
Thanking the man Izuku decides that there's no harm in talking to him, especially since his friends are currently busy with their internships and school to talk with him. It's not their fault but he doesn't really have anyone else.
"I'm just a bit lonely, I guess", Izuku says sheepishly.
The man looked at this young boy confused, he couldn't be older than fourteen so he should have plenty of friends, along with that what of his parents?
"My boy why is that?" he asked.
"My friends-my best friends are currently going to U.A to train to be heroes so I don't really have anyone to hang out with or talk with when I need to. They try to make time for me, but they can barely visit me every few week's sighing Izuku shrugs. "I mean we have the weekends for my quirk training but even those have been cut down given that their school work has been heavier. But I'm happy for them because in a year I'll be right by their side training to be a hero and then Mirio and I will be the best hero duo in the world!" Izuku exclaims to the blonde.
Izuku seeing the confusion on the blonde man's face goes on to explain who Mirio is "Mirio was my first real friend after I got put in an orphanage when my mom was killed in a villain attack a few years ago and my dad wanted nothing to do with me, and everyone abandoned me for thinking I was quirkless. Without him I'm not sure I'd be where I am today".
Blushing when he realizes how much he revealed Izuku begins to apologize, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to talk so much and I even forgot to introduce myself I'm Izuku Midoriya, pleasure to meet you".
Toshinori Yagi has never been speechless but right now speaking to this kid, he can honestly say he has no words to convey what he's thinking.
"No, I apologize I haven't even introduced myself. I am Toshinori Yagi. But if you don't mind me asking... are you really quirkless?" Toshinori asks.
Shaking his head Midoriya explains, "No, I have a quirk. A cool one too. I've just never shown anyone besides Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki, those are my friends. You know the whole "unless you have a hero license then you're breaking the law thing" well my mom taught me to always follow that rule, and I have even after she died" Izuku says. "Because of that no one associates themselves with me just because I won't show my quirk to them so they all assume I'm quirkless."
"My boy that is quite admirable of you, but wouldn't it be easier to just show everyone what your quirk is, and stop the bullying?"
"No. I promised my mom I would wait until I was got into a hero school and I will" Izuku said with a fire in his eyes. "The only reason I made an exception for Mirio is because we made a promise to get into U.A. together and become the best hero duo ever and I don't intend on breaking that promise".
This boy.
Looking at the time Izuku saw that it was almost nearing curfew and was mildly upset that he had to leave because it was nice having someone to talk to.
"Well Mr. Yagi, it was nice talking to you, but I have to go it's almost curfew and I don't really want to get in trouble with the person in charge at my orphanage" Izuku said with a smile that surprised Toshinori.
"This boy still has the spirit to smile even with everything he's been dealt with. He truly has the heart of a hero" Yagi thought as he watched Izuku walk away from him.
"What's got All might frowning. I thought you were the hero that was supposed to always smile" Aizawa drawled.
"I met a boy yesterday". All Might says.
Aizawa drops his coffee at All Might's confession, "Uh What?"
All might look to his colleague to see why he dropped his coffee and realizes how he sounds, "God no, Aizawa I meant I talked to this teen yesterday who caught my attention."
"Not helping."
"Look he sat next to me and had this look in his eye as if he had to grow up far faster than someone his age should have, and when I asked if he wanted to talk, I learned how much this kid had to deal with" All Might explains, "I mean his mother dying from a villain attack, then his father abandoning him putting him in an orphanage."
Aizawa sips his newly made coffee then taking a moment he looks to the number one hero, "His name didn't happen to be Izuku Midoriya, did it?"
All might couldn't hide his surprise even if he tried. "How did you know that?"
"Because I've been helping the kid with his quirk control since he was thirteen" Aizawa reveals.
By now All Might wasn't sure he should even try to hide his surprise or let it out. "Really? How did the kid even get access- "?
"I also felt bad for the kid and offered him access to U.A.'s training facility the day I met him. Which coincidentally was also after the day I offered Mirio tickets for him to the sports festival on the condition they give me the picture they took dressed up as the Wild Wild Pussycats."
"First off, I need to see that picture. Second if I didn't know any better, I would say you care about the boy Aizawa."
"All Might I've known this kid for about a year and a half and if anything were to happen to him, I would kill everyone I know then myself" Aizawa said with a straight face.
"My god you really care for the boy." All Might said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I hate it. I'm already half way through the adoption papers."
"Pfft, you softy!"
Sir Night Eye Agency
"Mirio"
"Yes, Sir!"
"You've done well with your time here, and your control over your quirk has improved immensely. I'm very proud of you" Sir Night Eye said before relieving Mirio from his office.
As Mirio walked out he couldn't help keeping the huge grin off his face, he knew he was improving, but to have someone like Sir acknowledge it was proof that all his training with Izuku and the help he was receiving from Sir himself wasn't for nothing.
"Izuku. I'm almost there".
"All Might, I believe I found you the perfect candidate for OFA" Sir Night Eye said over the phone.
All Might nodded, forgetting Sir couldn't see him through the phone he answered, "I see. Give me a few days to look him over..I feel I found a good candidate too" he said looking at a picture of a green haired boy dressed in a Ragdoll costume.
"Very well."
Yes, yes I am on a roll. thank you.
