Hello, everyone! Back for another chapter. I really love that you guys love this story. It makes me happy to know that people are enjoying my work.
"So, Tomura. Have you been nice to your new neighbor?" A voice said through the TV that was in the bar.
Tomura Shigaraki nodded his head. These weeks of getting to know Izuku Midoriya has been wonderful. The younger boy was very kind and warm. Ever since he could much from his past, Tomura had only felt cold and cruel. But the warmth coming from Izuku felt nice. It also felt familiar somehow. Like somewhere in his forgotten memories, there was someone that did give him actual, genuine warmth. He wondered why he didn't remember them.
"Yes, Sensei. Izuku-san is a very nice kid. He has no idea who we are," Tomura said.
Tomura told everything about Izuku to his sensei. How the younger boy was mistreated by society, and yet still has his kind-hearted personality. How Izuku remains an innocent soul despite all of the abuse that was place upon him.
"This Izuku Midoriya sounds like an interesting boy. I'll like to meet him soon," Sensei aka All For One said. He never heard his young student talking about someone like that.
"Izuku-san even said that he'll like to meet you, too, Sensei. He said that he wanted to thank you for letting someone like him live here despite being Quirkless," Tomura said.
Hearing that the boy in question was Quirkless, All For One was genuinely surprised to hear that. Today there were only 20% of people to not have Quirks. Hearing that the boy that lived with Tomura and Kurogiri, All For One now was more interested in meeting Izuku Midoriya now.
After the call with his teacher had ended, Tomura went to Izuku's apartment to see if the younger boy was back from school yet. The blue-haired boy was becoming more used to having someone else other than Kurogiri to interact with. Izuku was the closest person for Tomura to spend time with someone his own age. Despite the green-haired boy being younger than him, Tomura had actually found himself enjoying hanging out with somebody almost around his own age.
Knocking on the door without making it decay, Tomura waited for Izuku to answered the door. However, hearing no one coming, the young man had wondered if Izuku was still on his way home. Tomura was kind of worried for his young friend. That was something that the blue-haired guy never thought would have happened. He never before worried about someone who wasn't Sensei.
But spending time with Izuku Midoriya had caused Tomura to feel something within himself. Tomura had come to believed it was because that he and Izuku were very similar to each other. They were both mistreated by this hero society. They were often ignored by everyone around them, especially the Pro Heroes. Tomura had originally thought about letting Izuku in the League of Villains.
But Izuku was too kind and sweet to join a villain group. It was also because that Tomura didn't want his newfound friend to get caught up in his plans. Tomura had originally wanted to tell his teacher about Izuku when the younger boy first moved here, but he decided to wait until he learned more about Izuku.
Tomura could feel the warmth coming from his young friend. He never felt something like that before. Izuku's smile was very bright. It was almost like the sun. Sunny and giving warmth. Tomura had never once met someone like Izuku. But the warmth did felt familiar.
Tomura's memories had been forgotten. However, the young man had actually didn't care to remember his past. Whoever did give him warmth once was probably gone. After all, he was found on the streets by Sensei. So it didn't bother him why he should try to look for them. Besides, Tomura thinks that he might have decayed them with his Quirk. So they're probably dead anyway.
"Izuku-san, are you home?" Tomura asked just in case that he was.
However, there was still no answer. Tomura knocked again and this time opening the door himself. Since it was just him, Izuku, and Kurogiri living in the building, Izuku seemed to really trust both Tomura and Kurogiri for not stealing anything from him. The boy was indeed too trusting for his own good. Something that Tomura himself found both adorable and worrying.
"Izuku-san?" Tomura called to him as the former looked around the apartment. It was just like his own but much, much cleaner.
Looking around, Tomura spotted a picture of a woman with green hair and eyes along with a little boy with hair and eyes that matches hers. This was no doubt Izuku when he was younger. The woman in the photo with him was no questioning his mother. Izuku's mother is such a beautiful woman. She even seems to have a kind face like her son.
Izuku had often talked about his mother. How she was always so kind and caring to him. But she could very worry at times. Izuku had even said that his mother had anxiety, which Tomura could see where Izuku gets from.
Izuku had even said that he'll love to have his mother to meet Tomura and Kurogiri since they both had been so kind to him.
From the corner of his eye, Tomura spotted a notebook that was burnet on a coffee table. It said "Hero Analysis for the Future No. 13". Becoming a little curious, Tomura picked it up carefully with his pinkies sticking out. What he found was very interesting. It had deep information on the Quirks of the Pro Heroes. The pages were well detailed. However, what truly surprised Tomura was that Izuku's name was on it.
Looking over the pages, Tomura came to the page that had All Might's autograph. The young man looked at the autograph with hatred and disgust. Why did his young friend have the autograph of All Might? Did Izuku said that he wasn't a fan of that hero?
"Tomura-kun, why are you in my apartment?" An all too familiar voice said behind Tomura.
The blue-haired young man turned around to see that his young neighbor was standing at the doorway. Izuku was confused to see why was his closest friend and neighbor was in his apartment. However, before Izuku could say anything to Tomura, the latter beat him to it when he noticed a busied on his left cheek.
"Were you getting bullied at school again, Izuku-san?" Tomura asked. Coming over to his friend's side while he placed the notebook back on its spot.
Reluctantly, Izuku nodded quietly.
"It's okay, Tomura-kun. I'm used to it by now," The young boy said softly.
Tomura felt something in him very hot. Perhaps it was anger. The fact that his friend was used to be being abused by his peers, made the young man understand that how bad was this society.
"Anyway, back to my question. Why are you in my apartment? Did something happen to Kurogiri-san?" Izuku asked.
Hearing that his young friend was more worried for Kurogiri than his own privacy, Tomura was amazed that Izuku would care more about other people than himself. How can there be someone like Izuku Midoriya who's so kind and caring despite the world seemingly is against him?
"Kurogiri's fine. I just come over here to see if you wanted to hang out today," Tomura said.
Izuku blushed. The redness made his face look like a strawberry.
"Sure. I love to hang out with you, Tomura-kun," Izuku said smiling.
There it is again. That smile. The smile that bright warmth to Tomura. Since they were hanging out now, Tomura could ask about Izuku's little notebook.
"Izuku-san, I found your notebook on heroes. Why do you have it if you don't mind my asking?" Tomura asked.
Izuku took a moment to answered his older friend, "I told you that I used to wanted to be a hero, so I used to analyzed the Quirks of the Pro Heroes," Izuku said.
Tomura was surprised that his friend could analyze so well. The notebook was the proof of his friend's skills and intelligence. But the young man couldn't help but wonder why didn't Izuku longer write in his notebook anymore.
"I stop writing this when I meet All Might," Izuku said, looking away from his friend.
"What? What did he say to you, Izuku-san?" The blue-haired young man asked. If All Might said something awful to his little friend, he'll have another reason to actually hate that hero even more.
"Well, I asked him if I could a hero without a Quirk," Izuku said as tears were ready to come out of his eyes.
"But he told gently me that someone like me couldn't become a hero. All Might said I should become a police officer instead since it also helped to keep people safe."
Tomura felt anger in his entire body. So the Symbol of Peace had actually crushed the dream of his most loyal fan. All Might didn't actually believe that a Quirkless person could become a hero just because they didn't a Quirk like the rest of this shitty society.
"But it's fine. It was better that All Might was the one to tell that than some other hero. I don't know what would have happened if another hero told me differently," Izuku said, dying off his tears.
"I didn't hate All Might for telling me that."
Neither did the two talked for a while. Tomura couldn't believe how can someone like Izuku could be so strong for not hating All Might for destroying his dream. Anyone else would have become depressed and fall in the path of villainy. The young man couldn't help but admired Izuku for that.
"Hey, I could order pizza again while we play that new game that you got me," Tomura said.
Izuku smiled. It was always nice to talk things out. It made him feel better. Before leaving for school this morning, Izuku had managed to found his notebook. Not wanting to upset before school started, Izuku left it on his coffee table.
"Tomura-kun, can I tell you something?" Izuku asked nervously.
"Sure. What is it?" Tomura asked.
Taking a deep breath, "I want to go to U.A. It's been my dream school since I was younger. I wanted to go to the Hero Course more than anything else in the world. But I know that I won't be able to pass the entrance exam without a Quirk. I don't know if I should try the other Courses. I've actually thought about just going to a regular school instead. I just don't where I'm going. How can a Quirkless nobody have a future in the world of where everyone around them has superpowers?"
Tomura Shigaraki didn't what to say to his little friend. He never had gone through what Izuku was going through. Sensei could give Izuku a Quirk to be able to go U.A. But Tomura liked Izuku the way he is. He knows that's selfish of him but that who he is.
Okay, everyone, that's it for this chapter. I've made TV Tropes page on this. It's on the Fan Works page. What do you think of this chapter? How did I do on Shigaraki, All For One, and Izuku? Did I do an okay job on them?
