Heights Alliance, the dorms system implemented by UA to ensure the safety of their students. Originally this was unnecessary but with the recent incidents, it was deemed necessary. The school received a lot of flak from the public but nevertheless remained open.
A boy with green hair flew across the dorms. Contemplating on his life as a villain. He wondered when it had all began. Was it when he was informed by the doctor that he was quirkless? Was it when Katsuki burned his notebook and told him to kill himself? Was it when the Sludge villain almost killed him? Maybe it was when All Might told him that he couldn't be a hero.
It had been an odd series of events that led everyone to this point. After All Might shattered his world, he had decided to end it. Giving his mother a final farewell, he jumped off the same building that he had talked to his hero on. Jumping on the side facing a dark alleyway as to not bother anyone.
Flashback
Izuku laid dying in the alley. His final thoughts were that of his mother. As everything began to fade, footsteps could be heard from the shadows. A man walked in a suit and what seemed to be a scary life support system walked up to him. Placing a hand on him, his injuries began to heal. The shattered and broken bones were putting themselves back together. His destroyed organs regenerating. He was initially angry at the man for healing him and not letting him die but what he said next caused it to simmer down.
"No one came to save you, have they?" The man asked. His voice soft and empathetic. Reaching out a hand towards Izuku. "You're life must have been so hard, Izuku Midoriya. To live in a world who won't accept you because of something that you cannot control. Even the Symbol of Peace rejected you. It must have been so painful. That's why you decided to end it all. Right? It must have been horrible."
The man had pulled the despondent boy into a hug. Tears fell from the boy's eyes as the man continued his speech. "It will be alright now, because I am here."
End Flashback
Afterwards, the man took him to a bar. He was introduced to Tomura and Kurogiri. They had trained him, fed him, gave him a new home… A new family. He went with them to attack the USJ. He needed to face his demons to be able to move forward afterall. During that time, he had saved one of the students from being violated and/ or killed. A girl with brown bobbed hair. The boy had to admit she was cute. Seeing her try so hard at the sports festival against that monster, made Izuku's heart ache when she lost. Tomura attacked Hosu with a few Nomu's but because of Stain killing of Native and Ingenium's little brother, Tomura's acts were overshadowed. He and Tomura actually became friends in the aftermath. They learned how similar their past had been. A bond of camaraderie formed between them. He felt a bit satisfied when he was told that one of the Nomu's had been his old bully Tsubasa. In his search for the decay quirk user, he had bumped into the bubbly brunette. Although it was brief, the two had gotten to know each other. He was then called onto by sensei. The man thanked him for all he's done for the league. It gave Izuku a sense of accomplishment. No one had ever praised him for what he's done. He felt as if he would erupt from all the anger that he felt as he learned about All For One and One For All. Hypocrite! Echoed his mind every time All Might was mentioned. After listening to the story, sensei did something that he could not fathom why or expect he would do. That night the quirkless boy gained one of the most powerful and dangerous quirks of all time. An encounter with Eri had forced him to fight Overhaul and take his quirk. Now the child resided with him. She had once offered him her quirk but he declined. The members of the league had become somewhat fond of her. Twice was even making clones to help her train. Tests and practice of using his new quirk had caused a few heroes to suddenly retire. He was then tasked to go with the Vanguard Action Squad but had a different mission. To observe and analyze the quirks of everyone there. He intervened when Muscular had deliberately disobeyed orders and went out to find something to sate his appetite for blood. Saving a young boy and the girl he had previously saved. Unlike during the USJ attack, she saw his face this time. The girl was shocked at his appearance. He told her to bring Kota to safety before leaving her to help his comrades. He took both Mandalay's and Ragdoll's quirk in a surprise attack to help Magne and Spinner. Oddly enough he was not in the list of villains that were on the news for the attack. According to the information they had managed to acquire, her name was Ochako Uraraka. He had a fit when he found out who the target was. With his new power and because he did not want anyone else to suffer from the walking dynamite, he took the arrogant boy's quirk. Forcing the raging teen to quit becoming a hero later on. His anger for the former number one hero grew when the attack took away the first person to acknowledge him. He and Tomura vowed that they would break sensei out of Tartarus once they were strong enough.
So here he was. At the dead of the night, using stolen quirks to fool the electronic devices and sensory quirks. About to leave because he was done with his mission. Noticing the light from one of the rooms, he moved closer to see that it was Ochako's room.
'Beautiful,' Izuku complimented in his mind.
The girl seemed to be troubled. He knew the consequences but still he could not ignore the fact that he was drawn to her. His heart would race at the thought of the brown-haired girl. Something about the bubbly girl had taken his interest that it was sometimes distracting. Something in him was screaming at him to ease her pain. To make her happy. To protect her.
'I wonder what's wrong.' Izuku thought.
The sound of the balcony door sliding open caused him to hide nearby. For some reason All For One was resonating. Apprehension filled the green teen as he realized what this could imply.
'Out of everyone, why her!?' Izuku questioned. Anger bubbling within him. Directed at his former idol. 'Damn you, All Might!'
A sigh from Ochako brought Izuku back to reality. Izuku looked at her worriedly from shadows.
'She seems conflicted. I can see it in her eyes. I wonder what's troubling her,' Izuku thought. Agonizing at the warring sides of logic and emotion. 'I want to help her but that would be too bold. I'm a villain now and she would more than likely call the pros on me.'
Looking at her as the light shined upon her, Izuku could not help but think she was an angel. An angel so beautiful that it made mortals look up to the sky to see her. Somehow the thought of other men looking at Ochako caused a burning sensation in the pit of Izuku's stomach. A voice in the back of his mind was telling him to just kidnap her and keep her from the rest of the world.
"Ugh," Ochako groaned. She leaned on the railings of her balcony. Placing her head on her arms. "Deku-kun… Deku-kun, where are you? Are you safe?"
'She's thinking about me!?' Izuku shouted in his mind. Further panic and thoughts were stopped when she continued.
"Why did you have to be a villain?" Ochako asked. Not knowing that her question was being received by the person himself. "You're not a bad person. You wouldn't have saved me if you were. Why didn't you become a hero? You would have been a great one."
Tears fell from Izuku's face. This was the first time someone had said that he would be a great hero. The first time someone implied that he could be a hero.
'I want to tell you but…' Izuku thought.
"It's only because you're a villain that we have to fight," Ochako said. Another groan escaped her lips as pink lightning exuded from her body. Confirming Izuku's hypothesis. "It's driving me insane! I just can't stop thinking about you. Villain or not, you'd still be you. What is a villain anyway? Thinking about it, villains are not born to this world; they are made. What had caused such a nice guy to become a villain? I wish you weren't a villain. That way I won't have to fight you. Because… Because I love you."
Unable to contain himself from her sudden confession, Izuku spoke.
"I never wanted to be a villain, you know. I don't want to fight you either. I love you too… But this world just isn't fair. Especially for those that are different," Izuku answered her sadly. "I also wish things were different."
"Who are you?" Ochako asked sharply. She took a fighting stance. Readying herself for an attack. "Why are you hiding? How did you even get here? Why were you listening?"
"I don't know how to tell you who I am," Izuku said.
'This voice,' Ochako thought. She recognized it. "Deku-kun?"
"Yeah," Izuku confirmed.
"What are you doing here!? Why are you even here!? How did you know this was my room? The school's security should have detected you!" Ochako said. Worried about the boy being caught. "If one of the pros find you…"
"I was sent here to gather information. I'm using a few abilities that hide me from watchful eyes. I was about to leave but I saw the light and wanted to see who it was," Izuku answered ."I hate that I'm a villain. I hate the fact that All Might chose you to be the next wielder of One For All, "
"How do you know about One For All!?" Ochako asked in alarm.
"Because my predecessor was the one who created One For All," Izuku answered.
"Created?" Ochako asked in confusion.
"All Might never told you anything about One For All? He didn't even tell you what you were getting into when you received the quirk?" Izuku asked. The girl shook her head. Again his anger towards the former hero grew. He wanted to find the skeleton of a man and bash his head in for involving this girl in an ancient war and for incidentally forcing him to fight her by choosing her as the next successor.
'Now is not the time,' Izuku thought. Taking a deep breath to calm himself. Izuku had unconsciously come out from his hiding place and flew to her. They ended up sitting on the balcony. She listened as he began telling her the story of One For All and All For One. He recounted his life to her and watched as the emotions on her face change from one to the other. "It's killing me that we have to be enemies. Not just because you're a hero and I'm a villain but because you have One For All."
"Did you mean it?" Ochako asked. Her eyes hidden behind her hair. Her cheeks burning red that you can't even see the pink perpetual blush on her cheeks.
"I swear," Izuku said. "I love you, Ochako Uraraka!"
"Please don't swear," Ochako said. "Although it makes me happy, it's also making this harder than it is."
"I'm sorry," Izuku apologized.
Silence fell on them. They stayed like that until Izuku decided he should leave. He was stopped by Ochako grabbing his wrist.
She pulled him into her room. Suddenly powerless, Izuku was dragged in. He stiffened as Ochako placed both hands on his chest. Her head laying on her hands. His arms unconsciously wrapped around her as if to shield her. Right now, his senses were becoming highly sensitive. He could feel her warmth, her soft skin, her smell, the sound of her sweet voice, and her heartbeat.
"Tonight… For tonight," Ochako began her request. "Let's not be hero and villain. Let's forget about the fact that we're enemies. You have All For One and I have One For All. For tonight, let's just be Izuku and Ochako… Please!"
"Okay," Izuku replied. Unable to decline the nearly crying girl in his arms.
She took one of his hands from her waist and guided him towards her bed. She felt shy as he slowly crawled on top of her so they were face to face. Burning the image of his face to memory. She ran her hand down his face then wrapped both arms around his neck. Lifting her head up, his soft lips sent shivers down her spine. She knew she shouldn't be doing this but it just felt so right.
A few hours later, Izuku was putting his clothes back on as the brunette stood from her bed. A blanket covering her more womanly parts. Wrapping her arms around him, tears fell on his back as the woman cried but a bitter smile was on her face.
"I wish this night can go on forever. This has been one crazy night and I want to do more things with you. I want to talk to you more. I want to hold you in my arms," Ochako said. Izuku carefully turned around. Wrapping his arms around her, he placed his forehead on hers.
"If I could change it, I would," he said. Planting a soft kiss on her lips.
"I know," she said sadly after they broke apart. Placing her head on his chest. "I want you to stay but I know you can't."
"I would like to stay too," Izuku replied. "But it's not safe, for me and for you."
They stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity. Neither one wanting to break away. A knock brought the couple back to reality.
"Uraraka-san, school is about to start soon," Momo's voice could be heard from the other side of the door. "Please wake up and get ready."
"We have to go," Ochako whispered. "Deku-kun goodbye. Stay here a sec. I'll get her to go away."
Ochako puts on her pyjamas and exits the room. Izuku watched as she slid her clothes on. Covering her body.
"This is the best night of my life," Izuku said. "Kami, please don't let this be a dream."
Ochako enters the room. She grabbed her phone and unlocks it. She pulled Izuku close to her and took an usie with him. Changing the background picture of her phone. A few seconds later passes the phone to Izuku. Looking at the screen, the confused boy saw that it was on the add contact page.
"I love you! I don't care if you're a villain or not," Ochako said.
"Ochako-chan, breakfast is ready ribbit," Tsuyu called from outside her room. "We need to go soon too ribbit."
"Coming!" Ochako responded. She turns back to Izuku. "I'll send you a message later."
"I'll be waiting," Izuku said brightly. Ochako had to avert her eyes as she found his smile too bright. He pulled her in for a hug. "I don't want to leave you. I want to hold you in my arms forever if I could but as miserable as it makes me. I know we both have to go."
"Please be careful," Ochako said desperately. Her hold on him tightening. "And stay safe."
"I will," Izuku replied. "I wish I could transform into an animal. That way I could just hide here and wait for you to come back."
"I wish you could too," Ochako agreed. "But I'd probably kill you because I would smother you with love."
"Ochako-chan," Tsuyu called again.
"I'm coming!" Ochako replied back a little too harshly. Breaking apart from Izuku. She grabbed her uniform and began changing.
Izuku checked outside for any people that could see him. Sensing no one, he turned to Ochako.
"I'm going," Izuku informed her. Hovering over the balcony. "Do your best and stay safe."
"I will," Ochako said. Watching as he flew away. Tears fell from her eyes. Her gaze glued to the spot where he had been. In her daze, she did not hear Tsuyu come into her room.
"Ochako-chan," Tsuyu called. Bringing the girl back to reality. Her alarm and worry for her friend were hidden by her stoic face. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," Ochako replied. Wiping her eyes of the tears. "I just thought that it was sad to part with someone. It feels like you keep saying goodbye but your very being is screaming for them to stay."
Later, All Might had to deal with a very angry girl for not telling her anything about One For All and for what he said to Izuku. He apologized and tried to appease her. It did not work. A very amused Chiyo Shuzenji watched as the skeletal man was reprimanded by his successor.
Izuku walked into the bar. A small smile on his face. He handed Tomura all his findings from his mission.
"Mission accomplished," Izuku said before walking away. "I need some sleep. See you guys later."
"Why are you so late?" Tomura asked. A little irritated. Scratching his neck. "I was down one member in our party so we lost the raid. Do you know how many items we could've gotten had we won?"
"Sorry, I got lost on the path of life," Izuku replied. He gave the two an eye smile before he left.
Author's Notes:
Hello readers,
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. It was inspired by Shakespeare's tragic story: Romeo and Juliet. Sorry, but I won't be writing a lemon. I want this fic to stay at teen rating for now. Thank you for reading. If you have any ideas, opinions or just find mistakes in the chapters, I would be more than happy to hear about it. Every little thing will help me improve.
HankFlamion18:
Yeah, there wasn't that much D&D in that one. I didn't know where to start adding the game in. Thank you for the high praises. I'm not sure if there would be another chapter like 5 because technically chapter 5, 7, and 2 (in that order) are interrelated side stories of Bending Destiny. Hehe, yeah, Izuku and Ochako are quite cute if they end up together and you're welcome.
fencer29:
Thank you for your praise. I hope you like the future chapters.
Chopper911:
Thank you for high praises. I will try to live up to them with future chapters.

Yeah, I love IzuOcha as well. Yeah in my mind Shoto has begun to socialize and joke around more. Especially since there was a spike of memes with him.
Guest:
Thank you.
Marshtompz:
I'm glad you liked them.
MasterGildarts:
I'm glad you liked it. I tried to make the characters as close as possible to canon. God's he is an asshole but when he helps it helps a lot.
AshPli:
It is.
Guest:
Technically chapter 5, 7, and 2 (in that order) are interrelated side stories of Bending Destiny. I'm glad you liked it.
