Chapter 1
Midoriya Izuku needed just few words; just few words to save him from the despair.
"Useless! Someone like you shouldn't have existed or born. Your existence is a crime, and if so, you should be villain instead of Hero right?" That broke his fragile heart.
The loud sound of All Might alarm clock rang, waking the green head rubbing his sleepy eyes. The warm sun shone bright from the windows of 1-A Alliance dorm room. The light reflected his all time favorite All Might goods. "Again that voice...Who?..." The voice that was spoken seemed too real for a dream. The foggy dark feeling struck at the bottom as if it was telling him not to remember. He ignored the ominous hunch, his day started with the usual routine of the Monday morning. Midoriya took his shower, wore his uniform and tied his unexpectedly terrible tie, ready to walk towards the elevator. "GOOD MORNING MIDORIYA KUN!" The energetic voice echoed through his brain giving him a second wake up call. "Oh! Good Morning Iida kun!" The tall figure greeted with the biggest smile, and weird hand gestures as usual.
The air between them was still stiff. Ever since Midoriya came back from the hero intern, the worry still mingled around everyone. Especially towards Midoriya who had lost his Boss, Sir Nighteye midst of the incident of Shie Hassaikai. Truly losing someone or failing at something because of your impotence was something Midoriya always struggled.
"How is your morning today?" Iida broke the silence with concern. Immediately Midoriya understood, "Iida kun...Its a great day! Started off with a warm sunny day too! I wonder what we are doing today in class?" Midoriya practiced smile gave Iida a bigger relief. Waited elevator opened its entrance; there stood Todoroki, Uraraka and the fuming Bakugou. "Good morning everyone!" Midoriya greeted. "Good morning Midoriya/Deku kun!" Todoroki and Uraraka greeted back, as always Bakugo just ignored. Knowing the usual attitude, Midoriya just simply smiled. However from the corner of Bakugo's eyes, noticed a hint of awkwardness from Midoriya's expression. 'That shit nerd...'
"Hey, I wonder what Aizawa Sensei will be making us do today?" Uraraka was also the one of four students who joined in the fight with Shie Hassaikai. After regretting things of what she couldn't accomplish, she began to look more positively. Promising with her friend Asui to become more stronger. "Hmmm...from what we had done, I believe we will be having some combat lessons today Uraraka kun!" Iida smiled. "While you guys were away, we were practicing the quirk amplification." Todoroki stoically added. "Amplification...Like what we have been doing until? Like increasing the power of our own quirks?" Uraraka questioned.
"That's right!" The door opened and Iida was the one to hold the button to let everyone out, while he responded the energetic girl who thanked him back.
"Ah! Asu-Tsuyu chan, good morning!" The first one to see was the girl who politely greeted back. "Ara, Midoriya chan. Good morning. You don't have to be nervous calling me by my first name you know." Midoriya shrugged with awkward smile. The five (plus one, who had already walked ahead of the five yelling not walk in front of him) headed towards the 1-A classroom.
The classroom had already filled with the rest of the students. The five (plus one who was still complaining) walked in, being greeted by everyone. Everyone settled to their usual groups and desks. Kirishima questioned, enough for everyone in the class to hear: "Has anyone heard anything about today's class curriculum?"
"Nope, nothing. You Mineta?" Kaminari turned his head behind, looking at the short Mineta. "We are probably going to do the same thing...hopefully in pairs this time...hehehehe 'HOPEFULLY WITH A GIRL!'" Electric shiver went down his spine, "Hey you dumb-ass! you must be thinking perverted things again!" Jiro pulled back her earplug, still glaring at the half paralyzed boy...(poor boy) Laugh filled the classroom.
"You guys are always so loud! It echoed through the end of the hallway...Don't you get tired?" Sound of the voice froze everyone to their seats.
"Aizawa sensei!"
"Can you lower down your energy once in a while?" Aizawa sighed, resuming the homeroom. "So today we are going to have a combat training one on one."
"ONE ON ONE!? I'm fired now!" Kirishima yelled as well as most of the students cheered.
"BUT...Before that I need to hand this out to you." Aizawa passed a piece of paper to Hagakure (transparent girl), Mezo (tentacle guy), Ojiro (tails), and Aoyama (beam from stomach). Having them to pass it behind.
"What's this?...WHAT!? PARENT CLASS OBSERVATION DAY?!" Kaminari yelled. Feeling the sudden intense glare from the teacher.
Mineta questioned with cold sweat coming down; "We have to bring our parents to school? To see what?"
"For most of our classes. We are often out for field training, but also classes to learn normal student curriculum. After all the incidents that happened in UA, we are inviting parents to show them your student life in UA High school...That all." The class went crazy, as some were excited to show their parents they're high school life, and some were nervous for inviting and showing their parents.
From all the loud noises in the room, Midoriya was also excited to bring his mother to show what his school life is. Midst of all the worries he made, he really wanted to show his mother the happiness he had found in this class. New friends and his ultimate goal to become the best hero like All Might.
"Well then everyone head to the gym after you changed!" Aizawa left the room leaving the class all excited.
In the gym: "I can't wait to show our classroom and around the school to my parents! They will be ecstatic!" Ashido squealed. The girls were all excited about the normal school like event.
"The girls are happy, but I AIN'T HAPPY AT ALL!" Kaminari and Mineta cried. "Why? You get to bring them around and the fee for people whose parents live far is accommodated." Tokoyami stated. "My parents will be mad of how stupid I am in the class. I don't mind with active classes but...I was within those people who got red marks you know!" Kaminari literally cried, hanging on to Midoriya who really didn't know what to do. "Kaminari kun... Its a great opportunity to show your parents what you been learning and doing this few month. I think your quirk is amazing and you are always friendly and passionate! Also there's no such thing as mark in passion of being a hero!" Midoriya smiled. "...M-M-Midorrriiiiyyyaaaaaaaaaa!" He leaped on to his body, causing Midoriya to lose balance. He immediately closed his eyes, not being able to balance himself and expecting a fall back.
BAM!
'Hmmm? It doesn't hurt?' Midoriya slowly opened his eyes, feeling slight warmth on his back. He turned his head, to see fearful man glaring. "K-Kacchan?!" Realizing the one that fell hard on floor was just Kaminari. "Ah...Than-" Bakugo harshly threw Midoriya on the ground. Clicking his tongue, Bakugo left the squad leaving no space for words. "..Kacchan..."
"Kaminari, get up. The class is starting soon." Kirishima helped him up, laughing off how stupid he acted and how loud did he fall.
Aizawa sensei walked in, everyone gathered around. "Okay so group yourselves with four. There should be five groups. Hurry up."
"Why group of four if we are doing one on one?" Uraraka questioned. But the silence that the teacher gave forced the scattered groups to form. "Midoriya san, Let's form a group." Hearing his name he turned around, unexpected to see Yaoyorozu the vice-president of the class behind him. "Sure! So we need two more people..." Midoriya looked around, seeing most were starting to form already. "Midoriya (chan)! Can I be in your group?" Asui and Ojiro came up. With a smile he nodded. "Midoriya san, I have always wanted to group up with you once. After fighting with you at the UA sports festival, and watching your passion towards hero!" Yaoyorozu gently patted him giving slight warmth on his cheek. "Yaoyorozu san.." Suddenly Midoriya's vision blurred; "That's why you're useless." The voice echoed in his head. Midoriya turned around. 'Huh?...' Midoriya felt something flatter inside. Tracing his hand to his heart. Something was different, something struck him differently. 'What was...'
"Midoriya chan, something wrong?" Midoriya flinched, immediately forcing it's smile; "Huh?...Oh no..nothing." Midoriya ran to his group, brushing off the uneasy feeling.
From afar Bakugo watched Midoriya, squinting closely. "That fucking shit nerd..."
"Are you worried?" Kirishima asked. "WHO IS! WORRIED ABOUT WHO?!" the usual mini explosion made Kirishima laugh. "Well Midoriya of course. You seem to be following his figure these days."
"DIE! I AIN'T WATCHING THAT FUCKING NERD!" Bakugo walked away fuming, still short tempered as usual. "Wow that was loud. What was that about?" Sero walked in as Kirishima sighed, "Not honest isn't he..."
"Okay, now with the group you formed we are going to have one on one within that group. One needs to battle each within your team. You have to learn to develop quick thinking during battles. Some of you are already past this stage but if you're doing that while battling villain, your brain cannot follow with your body. Learn how to use both with the max speed and strength...Okay then, Start NOW!" Midoriya got called out few times, for being unfocused, but safely the rest of the class went smoothly. "Some overuse of quirks and some need to control better. There were area of improvement. Okay back to class after you changed...And write a report of what you've learned."
"EEEHHHHHHH~" All student gave a deep sigh. Aizawa who was about to leave turned and looked at Midoriya, signaling him to come with him. Midoriya caught the signal, following up behind his back. At the same time Bakugo again stared at the green head's back.
The class ended with the ring of the school bell. "Okay that's it for today. Don't forget to tell your parent's about that parent class observation." Aizawa left the door, as students murmured within regarding the hot topic.
"So! Are you bringing both parents? I am!" Once again Ashido Mina ecstatically stated, and questioned the other girls. "I am also bringing both of my parents." Asui raised her hands. "Me too! I believe most people are...how about the boys?" Uraraka turned to the boys squad. Most boys stated both but some also put up with just their mother or father. "My mother..my father is probably going to be busy." Politely Tokoyami answered. "How about you Iida kun?"
"I am probably going to bring my mother and father. Maybe my brother. If he doesn't mind." Timidly Iida answered. "Is he doing alright? After that..." Uraraka nervously asked. But with a big smile; "Yes, there are things that really came to a shock but everything has settled! As I have inherited the name of my brothers' I WILL BECOME A GREAT HERO!" The class mood brightened up. "Hahaha, me tooo!" Uraraka smiled back. "Todoroki, are you going to bring Endeavor?" All attention turned to the handsome boy. Scrunching his face, "No. I will ask my mother though." He stated. "Deku kun, how about you?...Deku kun?" Uraraka's voice shook Midoriya's mind. "Huh?" Turning around to see her close, Midoriya flustered. "Ah..I-I'm bringing my mother!" Midoriya smiled. Uraraka watched him pack his backpack, 'Deku kun...his eyes look tired..I wonder why?' She thought.
"How about you Bakugo!?" Kirirshima walked up to Bakugo who seemed annoyed but still answered with a growl. "Fuck that, i'm bringing neither. Who wants to bring them." He took his bag and headed towards the door. Midoriya instinctively followed Bakugo. "WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME YOU SHIT-NERD!"
"Kacchan! You should bring auntie and uncle, they will be really happy to see you!"
"SHUT UP! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
"But she really wants to know!"
"WHO SAID THAT! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"
"BUT!"
"NO BUTS YOU SHIT HEAD!"
"She's worried too you know!"
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW SHIT! YOU'RE JUST DEKU"
"Because she text me if you're doing okay!"
"WHY DOES SHE TEXT YOU! WHAT THE HELL!"
"Because YOU never text her or call her Kacchan!"
"WHAT ARE YOU? MY FUCKING MOTHER?"
"AS IF!
"AAAHHH?"
"HIEE!"
"GO DIE!"
"Why do you always say that!"
"Because you're fucking useless!"
"..." The silence paused the whole room, as well as Bakugo instinctively looking back. Everyone in the room darted their eyes towards the green head that suddenly became silent. On the other hand Midoriya was confused; his heart thumped loudly, vibrating his whole body. This wasn't different from any other time, it wouldn't have effected him or even cared. His hand started to tremble, betraying his mind. "I-I?" He mumbled. Not enough for the others to her...except for one in front of him. "SHIT!" Bakugo clicked his tongue, and pulled Midoriya's arm dragging the two existence out of the classroom. "Wai- Wha- Kacchan?" Without any communication, the two disappeared from the room. Leaving others with flabbergasted.
"Ummm...What was that...?" Sero broke the silence. He himself knew that no one at that moment grasped the situation. "They had this bicker...then Bakugo snapped...then Midoriya froze..then they left." Jiro explained plainly. "We all get that but...NO I MEAN, THAT WENT TOO FAST...Man I really don't get their relationship..." Kaminari sighed. "Well, might as well just all go back to the dorm. We still have to call our parents." Asui calmly stated. The others also did the same.
BACK TO MIDORIYA & BAKUGO (MIDORIYA POV)
"KACCHAN!...KACCHAN!" I tried to pull myself out his grip. Yet my strength seem weak ever since that moment when my body paralyzed itself. From that moment I knew I triggered something within. "Useless!" The voice that called out in my head still lingered, leaving me with unstoppable tears. Suddenly the grip loosened, causing me to falling back on to the ground. I glared at him, even though my heart hurts so much, there was nothing that calmed me down. My breathing did not go smoothly, feeling tight clench in my chest. Yes...I was midst of hyperventilating. The vision in front of my eyes alternated black and white. The voices still pounding throughout my head. ...Until Kacchan who was standing in front of me came to my eye level. "Calm down...Shhh...Don't be a weakling. You Shit nerd. You are going to become strong hero right?" Kacchan pulled me in, feeling the warmth on my cheek burning hotter and hotter. My vision returned to normal and my breathing became much stable as I grabbed Kacchan's sleeve. I slightly felt the fear in me...Maybe he might disappear...my trembling voice moved on it's own, "I heard...voice... I-" Before I realized my own state, my vision once again blurred. Slight pain followed like an electricity through my mind. "Wa..it Ka...cha-"
As I began losing my conscious, my body fell into Kacchan's arms. His face was the most pained expression I saw in my life. That unbeatable, confident, prideful man that I knew was not existent at that moment.
That was the last thing that reflected into my eyes until everything went black.
DORM 1-A (NORMAL POV)
All the students from 1-A was already gathered. The girls sat on the sofa discussing about the parent class observation while boys stood in group talking about their quirks and new techniques.
Creak
Kirishima was the first to react the sound of the front door. "Ah! Bakugo's ba-...MIDORIYA?!" The sight of Midoriya behind Bakugo's back astonished everyone in the room. "DEKU KUN!/Midoriya chan!/Midoriya!/Midoriya kun!" Many worried voices followed up with them surrounding irritated Bakugo. "What happened to him? Is he okay?" Kaminari looked at Bakugo, frightened of how scary he was. "Get him off of me!", his voice was annoyed as ever. Iida took the hold of Midoriya, who seemed unharmed from everyone's eyes. "He's just unconscious, bring him to his room or something." Bakugo left leaving everyone speechless. "...I'm going to bring him to his room. Can someone help me?" Uraraka raised her hands. Worry painted over her face. "I CAN!"
As Iida and Uraraka carried Midoriya back to his room, the rest of the students continued their conversation. "I wonder what happened to Bakugou chan and Midoriya chan?"
"It didn't seem like they were fighting..." Ojiro and Mezo stated. "Maybe he's just tired. Since you know, Midoriya had the huge blow after that incident. I can't blame if he was bearing so much right now. He blame himself too much..."
"Kirishima..."
"It's because I know that feeling...I'm sure all of you do...The feeling of being powerless." The fight with Shie Hassaikai opened new things that himself was afraid of, understanding just little of the struggle Midoriya always had felt. Wanting to protect, and not being able to is the worse thing you can ever feel as being an hero. "We should smile at time like this right?!" Ashido's energy broke the atmosphere in the room. "Mina..."
"Ashido is right! We can't do anything right now anyways. Why don't we just give the positive energy around!" Kaminari's words gave everyone chuckles and smiles.
While the classmates downstairs were full of energy, Bakugo was trembling. In fear? No with anger. Towards something that he would never thought of. After the true honest fight with Midoriya, his heart began to waver whenever he was around him. His voices and his existence bothered Bakugo no matter when or where. Before, it was always an irritation or annoyance, or inferiority complex. And now, turned it to something sweet. Too sickening for himself to admit, but understood that it was more than a normal relationship. "That Deku..." Bakugo mumbled, remembering how Midoriya came back from the hero intern, he had noticed the faint awkwardness from the green head. Something that felt wrong, different, not the Deku he knew. His smile, never once came from bottom of his heart. It was the first time, that he felt out of place. Looking at him made Bakugo wanting to protect. "I'll find out soon. Don't think you can hide things from me Deku!"
Iida and Uraraka finally arrived at Midoriya Izuku's room. Iida looked at Midoriya with indescribable emotions. He too understood, how much burden he was carrying. Remembering what Kirishima said. He gently placed Midoriya onto his bed. "Iida kun, do you think there anything we can do?" Uraraka spoke while her eyes still stuck on to Midoriya. Iida also stared at the sleeping body, "I don't know. But Like he did for me, I want to be there when he needs us! We're friends right?" He turned to Uraraka and smiled. The two swore and decided as they were walking back, hearing a sudden whimper behind.
"Mmmnn..."
"Midoriya kun/Deku kun!?" The two rushed back to his side, hoping to see their friend awake.
"...NNnn...I'm...sorry..." The tears welled up from his eyes, worrying their two friend more so.
"Midoriya kun? What's wrong?"
"Father...Father...wait..for me..." Midoriya's hand moved, still unconsciously. As if he was trying to reach out for something. Uraraka grabbed the reaching hand, calling his name over and over. "Deku kun! Don't worry we're here!" The voices of his friends calmed Midoriya, giving him a peace of mind. Breathing, back to his slumber.
"Let's give him some space Uraraka kun. He seems stable now..." Iida reassured after checking him, convinced that he was alright. "He was calling out for his father. I wonder what that was...Iida kun?" Iida darkened his expression. "I feel that there is more to this."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know but I have a feeling something big is going to happen...I shall call it hero's instinct..." The two figure began their steps back to the lounge. "Hmm...Big...Like something related to a villain?"
"I'm not sure. But I think we should keep this to ourselves for now. We don't really know anything yet." Uraraka and Iida looked at each other with determined eyes.
The lounge still lingered with 1-A students. Some had went back to their room. "Momo chan and Tokoyami kun left already?" Uraraka looked around. "Ochako chan, welcome back. Yes they said they had morning duties tomorrow, so they went to their room early. How was Midoriya chan?" The name of the green head attracted everyone's attention. Iida and Uraraka looked at each other; "He's alright, no injuries. Probably some fatigue from the previous fight with the villains!" Hearing no injuries gave everyone a sign of relief. Soon after, they all called for the night, returning to their room except for one.
Todoroki was not convinced. Nothing seemed normal and nothing pieced out together. "Hey." Uraraka and Iida flinched. Surprised for the sudden call. "Todoroki kun. You didn't go back yet?" Iida questioned. "Are you guys hiding something?" Todoroki looked straightly in to their eyes. "I want to know because I am worried too."
"Why does it make you think that?" Iida countered. "I've been with him as much as you do but Midoriya these days aren't like himself. He isn't smiling from bottom of his heart."
"Todoroki kun...It's not that we were hiding...we thought that we should see before we act." Uraraka sat down on the sofa. "Uraraka kun..." Iida looked at her worriedly. "What do you mean?" Todoroki questioned, as the two told the boy of the events that happened in Midoriya's room.
"I see..." Todoroki sighed. Understanding the situation, he was now convinced by the action of their classmates. "We shall keep it to ourselves for now! Okay?" Todoroki nodded. The three chatted till the clock ticked 11pm. "Look, we should all go back to sleep!"
From the shadow in the corner before elevator, there stood a blond boy. Irritation and annoyance reflected in the expression. "Shit! What does half and half even know!" Following quietly after the three left towards there bed.
