Izuku woke up early the next morning feeling well rested. He let out a loud yawn as he sat up into a stretch. Now that he knew how to remove the blobs from people he felt more confident in figuring out what his quirk actually does. He took a quick glance at the clock, it was only 6:30 AM. He had no hope of falling back to sleep at this point, nor did he really want to. He slipped out of bed and made his way towards his rooms light switch and flicked it on, lighting up the room. Izuku saw that he wasn't alone.

*Sigh*

"This quirk is going to be annoying." He said out loud while walking over to his window. He couldn't reach the window quite yet, so he dragged his desk chair over. He hoisted himself up onto his chair and slid the window open, letting in the crisp early morning air. He turned to his current situation with disgust. Three blobs were roaming his floor like ugly black slugs. He glared at them. Hopping down from his chair he walked towards one, picked it up, and then chucked it out the window.

"Goodbye blobs." He said while throwing out the rest and gave a small wave. He would not have his room filled with blobs thank you very much. Happy that he was now alone, he walked back over to his window and tried to peek outside. He couldn't see much due to it still being slightly dark outside. With a huff, he slid the window back closed.

What was eating at Izuku's thoughts was if there were this many blobs in his house, how many were outside? Was there blobs everywhere, or was it just near him? So many questions about his new quirk left him more curious.

'I wonder if I can command blobs to go on people?' if he could why would he though. If his theory is correct then the blobs hurt people, and he doesn't want to hurt anybody. That's not what heroes do. He will first need to confirm if the blobs actually cause harm. Then he can worry about preventing them.

He heard the bathroom door shut from the hallway, signalling that his mom was awake. Izuku took that as the o.k. to leave his room. He happily ran down the stairs, he was going on a playdate with Kacchan today. His friend had asked if he had a quirk yet every time he saw him. He could tell the blonde was getting annoyed at his constant "No's" He was pleased that this time he could tell Kacchan that he did indeed have a quirk.

'Kacchan can stop calling me Deku now.' He thought with relief. His friend had been picking on him for the past month. Although he didn't blame Kacchan, they were supposed to be heroes together and it's hard to do that without a quirk. He seated himself at the kitchen table and patiently waited for his mom to arrive, which she did a few minutes later. He noted there were no blobs on her.

His mom chuckled "Excited to see Katsuki, sweetie?"

"Yes! I can't wait to tell him about my quirk! He's going to think it's so cool!" he said with excitement lit up over his face.

Inko could only widely smile back at the large grin her son was displaying. "Then it's best to get ready extra fast," Inko made a shooing motion with her hand "go get ready while I make you some breakfast."

Izuku didn't even respond he just dashed up the stairs to go get ready. In his rush towards his room, he didn't notice the gelatinous creature by his feet. He stepped on it and immediately slipped. 'Oh no' was his only thought as he went in for a tumble. But instead of hitting the hard floor, he landed on another blob that was nearby, it felt like falling onto a bouncy castle or a trampoline. It didn't hurt.

"You alright honey?!" He heard his mom call from downstairs.

"I'm fine!" He shouted back and scurried into his room.

The blob cushioned his fall. Maybe this could be useful in the future. He filed the information away in his brain and started to get ready for the day.

Roughly 2 hours later it was time to go meet up with Kacchan. Being the little ball of excitement Izuku was he couldn't keep still. His mom was happy to let him loose, to say the least.

Izuku was excited to meet up with his friend, but he was also excited for another reason. This would be the first time he went outside since discovering his quirk, and he couldn't wait to find out the answer to his earlier question.

Bakugo silently paraded down the stairs towards the complex's front doors with Izuku trailing silently behind him. They usually didn't talk until they got outside. Once he got outside his eyes widened, there were blobs everywhere. And he meant everywhere. Thousands spread out through the landscape, on buildings, trees, the road, and people. It caught him so off guard that he didn't hear Kacchan ask him a question.

"Pay attention to me you useless Deku!" the older boy shouted, letting loose a small explosion in front of Izuku's face.

"S-sorry Kacchan, could you repeat it?" He said feeling ashamed, he knew the blonde didn't like to repeat himself.

"I said we are going to play heroes. I'll be the hero and you will be the villain like the worthless Deku you are." The older child's sharp glare fell on him with an accusatory point of his hand, as if saying he was disgusted that he was being forced to play with a Deku.

"A-a-actually, Kacchan," Izuku took a big breath, he was suddenly anxious about telling him he had a quirk. "I h-have a quirk now. I g-got it yesterday."

Bakugo's eyes briefly lit up with excitement, which then quickly morphed into something Izuku couldn't place. "Oh ya? Then what is it? I bet it's not nearly as awesome as mine."

"W-w-w-well you can't see it," Izuku started to stutter out, he was so nervous. "b-but there are these blobs everywhere and only I can see th-" he was interrupted by Bakugo's laughing. "W-w-why are you l-laughing?" he asked quietly, he could feel his cheeks heating up from embarrassment.

"You have a quirk that only you can see? How pathetic. What a useless quick, what's the point if nobody can see it." The blonde said with more laughter, he slightly reminded Izuku of a hyena. "I guess it makes sense though."

"W-what makes sense?" Izuku asked nervously.

"That a worthless Deku like you, would receive an equally worthless quirk." More laughter erupted from the older boys' mouth.

The word worthless rang out through Izuku's head. Why was he being so mean? He had a quirk now, which meant he wasn't supposed to be a Deku anymore. He was supposed to go back to being Izuku. Tears started to well up in the corners of his green eyes, not that Bakugo noticed.

"Come on Deku, let's go play heroes with the other kids. They have real quirks." The blonde started to walk off, not even checking if the green haired boy was following him.

"O-o-ok..."

They eventually met up with a couple other kids that Izuku knew hated him as much as Kacchan seemed to. Sometime during their walking Izuku took notice of a few blobs that had crawled their way up Bakugo's legs and waist. He still wasn't sure what they did, so he kept his mouth shut not wanting the blonde to insult him again. They were walking across a bridge, Bakugo leading the group as everyone paraded behind him. He was letting out small explosions with his steps, as if he was shouting 'look at my quirk, it's so much better than yours!' Izuku would never admit it, but it frustrated him that his friend had become so self-absorbed. Izuku stared at Kacchan's back and watched as more and more blobs started to slither their way up onto him. He was starting to look like his mom yesterday morning.

"K-k-kacchan I thin-" Izuku started to call out, but he was interrupted by a loud 'Snap'.

Bakugo's eyes widened slightly with surprise which quickly switched to fear. The bridge they were crossing had snapped, and Bakugo had fallen into the small stream below.

"Kacchan!" Izuku called out. He started to run down underneath the bridge to see if his friend was alright. His friend has small tears in the corner of his eyes and was covered up to his neck in blobs.

He had to get rid of them. That answered his earlier question, the blobs were bad. He felt slightly betrayed by the universe. He was good, wasn't he? Why did his quirk cause harm?

"Kacchan! Here take my hand." Izuku's plan was to help Kacchan up, and when he held his hand he would tell the blobs to go away. Of course, things didn't play out the way he wanted them to.

"Don't touch me you worthless Deku! I'm fine." The blonde said, sounding irritated and slightly embarrassed.

"I'm just trying to help." He said albeit desperately, he needed to tell the blobs to go away.

"Don't you ever think someone like you can help someone like me." He said the last bit a bit louder as if trying to convince Izuku that he didn't deserve to help him.

"B-but K-k-kacchan just let me e-explai-"

"NO!" the older boys' hands started to light up with explosions, and Izuku saw the incoming punch.

If this was the only chance Izuku would get, then fine he would endure it. Bakugo's fist collided with the side of his cheek, in that split second of contact Izuku strongly thought 'Go away.' Just like before. Only one of the blobs dropped off. Izuku realized he needed longer contact time to make all the blobs to go away. So he let Bakugo keep hitting him, and even provoking him slightly so he would keep hitting him. If this is what it would take to keep his friend safe, then he would do it.

Bakugo eventually stopped. Izuku hurt, but the blobs were gone and that's all he cared about. The blonde had turned around and was walking away with his so-called 'friends'. That was fine, he wanted to go home anyways. He stiffly stood up, and brushed off his muddy clothes and trudged his way home.

"Izuku! What happened?" was the first thing Izuku heard when he opened the door to his apartment. He let out a nervous chuckle.

"Ah the b-bridge we were playing on broke, I fell down. But its o-o-ok Kacchan saved me." Izuku said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

His mom just silently nodded and guided him into the bathroom. She started bandaging any cuts she saw and kissed his boo-boos. It helped.

"Thanks mommy, I think I want to go to my room now."

"Alright sweetie… if anything still hurts you come and find me right away. Alright?"

He nodded at that and made his way back to his room. Inko swore that there would be no more play dates with the Bakugo's son.
