A|N:one night i had this thought of ochako being izuku's imaginary friend. this is the beta of that, as i will definitely make a more fleshed out fic in the future with a much more fleshed out twist, but this is a little "starter" if you will to see how good the idea is so far. happy reading!
we've sure been through a lot, haven't we, izuku?
don't look so confused! it's me, your best friend, ochako!
i've been there since you were an eeny, weeny baby! but, you didn't start to see me until...the day you were diagnosed. you and mom were so sad...i...
but, let's just forget about that! the past is in the past!
we had to be the best pair of heroes there ever was! saving the planet from asteroids, rescuing kittens, disarming bombs to save little old ladies, we won every time! well, we won almost every time, and some of those were just pretend.
...okay, most of those were make-believe.
still, even when the odds were against us, we grinned and smiled and fought our way to victory. in spite of what that bakugo kid said, we were heroes.
wouldn't you like that feeling again? isn't that your dream, to become a hero and save everyone with a smile?
hey, don't get all mushy now! the dream's not over yet, izuku. we can still do this.
...but, we can't reach for the skies just yet. there's some...business we gotta take care of first.
i hate that i had to be the one to say it, but we gotta kill bakugo katsuki.
i'm serious! that kid's been nothing but an asshole since you met him, even before you were diagnosed. i saw what he's done, how much it hurt you, and after what he did today, after everything he's done, he deserves it.
please don't cry, izuku. we both know what'll happen, he'll get into U.A., you won't. he'll become a "hero" and you'll be stuck saving imaginary people from imaginary problems.
hey, i'm just as real as you! i just...choose who to reveal myself to. not in a weird way!
he's in our way, and once he's...dealt with, we can finally live the high life! picture this, you, me, and mom in a fancy, three story mansion, sixteen cars, an all you can eat buffet for a kitchen-
...that's too much? yeah, you're right, we need all that and a puppy!
...i know, i know, murder is tricky stuff. c'mon, sleep on it kid, and i know you'll come to see things my way.
trust me kid, there's no way any of this could go wrong!
