Izuku and Himiko arrived at the park at almost the same time.
"Himi-chan !"
"Izukkun !"
Both the kids were too excited to realize that they had already made nicknames for each other.
Izuku ran towards Himiko with a huge smile on his face. It had been a whole year since he actually was actually in this park to meet a friend.
Himiko however, while excited was still worried. Every time someone finds out what her quirk can do they immediately call her a villain and attack her with words and fists alike.
She hopes it does not happen this time, she hopes that every time.
"Umm... Izukkun, are you really sure that you want to be friends with me?"
"Yes! that is if... you wouldn't mind."
"I think you wouldn't want to after you find out what my quirk..."
"Why would I think that? Was Kacchan hitting you because of that too?"
"Ummm...yes, he asked me what my quirk was and said he would hit me if I didn't tell him."
"Yeah...he is like that, So what is your quirk anyways?"
"It's called doppelganger, I can look like someone else if I drink their blood"
"Wow that so cool! It's like the blood hero Vlad King's quirk! You could use it to look like a villain and go to bad places and spy on the bad guys, you can use it to trick bad guys into fighting each other, you can-"
"You don't think its a villains quirk?"
"Why would I think that? Any quirk can be used to become a villain, but a quirk is only bad if the person is bad. Even then it is their fault, not their quirk."
Himko did not know what to say to that, all her life she was hit by other people because of her quirk.
'Even daddy left forever when he found out what my quirk was, and mommy hates me now.'
She tried to see if izuku was lying but all she found was a wide and pure smile which would blind her if she did not look away.
'Oh that's right'
"Izukkun, what's your quirk?"
"I...I-I don't h-have a q-quirk" Izuku said with a shaking voice, he was really afraid to loose his new friend now.
" I wont give up though! I will become a hero!" Izuku said in a shaky voice, slowly anticipating a snarky remark or mockery.
'Please don't hate me, please don't hate me, please don't hate me'
"You'll be an awesome hero Izukkun!"
Now THAT was not he was expecting to hear her say...
"Y-You really t-think s-so?" Izuku was still doubtful, yet he hoped the girl really meant it.
"Totally! You saved me yesterday, no?"
"B-But I just got beat up...and they hit you even after that"
"Nope!" Himiko said in a singsong voice, "No one ever helped me before but you did! You can totally be a hero!"
"Thank you himi-chan, no one ever said that to me before either..."
"Let's not talk about sad stuff ! Lets play Izukkun!"
Himiko and Izuku then chased each other in a game of tag. Himiko pushed Izuku on the swing but refused to be pushed, claiming to have a few bruises on her back.
They played on the slide for a little while after that, just when they were getting bored and were about to go home for the day Katsuki appeared with his minions.
Izuku an Himiko ran, from Katsuki and found all kinds of places to hide and get away from him.
It started off as something scary, considering they would get really hurt if they were caught, but after sometime it just became a game for both of them.
In the end Katsuki gave and left with a frustrated snarl.
"HAH! HAH! I never thought being chased by Kachhan could be so fun haha!"
"Yeah, it was scary at first but then seeing him shout and jump around like an angry doggy was very funny!"
They both started walkinh home in silence...it was a comfortable one however.
Himiko knew what was waiting for her at home and it really scared her but being with Izuku made her forget a lot of her fear.
She felt like a kid again.
"Umm...Izukkun?"
"Yeah, Himi-chan?
"Do you think...I can become a hero too?"
"Of course you can! You could be a really cool underground hero!"
"Undergrou- wha?"
"They are heroes that don't come on T.V much and mostly work at night! They stay away from the eyes of people and silently protect them!"
"That sounds...really cool!"
"Yup! Hmmmm...umm...Himi-chan?"
"Let's become heroes together!"
Himiko felt a tear roll down her cheek...she never expected anyone to ever say that to her, she just didn't know how to respond.
So she gave him the biggest smile she could fit on her face.
She saw Izuku blush a lot...like he was redder than a tomato.
'He's really a bunny'
She realized that she had reached her home...she doesn't want to go but she knows it would just get worse if she is late.
She unwillingly bids Izuku farewell and goes home.
