Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't updated in three months... but it's okay, cause I have an actual outline of the plot now and ideas for UA so we all good! But for right now, there's gonna be some story building and and some sadness cause people are dicks. But anyways, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

"Your Quirk is more suited for being a Villain, not a Hero."
"Don't play with him, he's going to end up a Villain..."
"Stay away from him, he'll probably use his Quirk on you!"
People were cruel.
Once learning what Hitoshi's Quirk was, they immediately turned on him. They turned on a boy who wanted nothing more than to be a Hero.
It... It hurt, to be an outcast.
All he wanted was to be accepted, was that too much to ask?
To hope for?

Her eyes were burning. Or at least, it felt like they were.
The months continued and life went on, and soon, Ayame received her Quirk.
Illusion.
It was rather dangerous when you were an inexperienced five year old merely examining her new (and only) best friend's pretty purple eyes.
Hitoshi didn't think anything was wrong... that is, until her eyes began glowing a bright, shiny red.
The world around him suddenly became hard to breathe in, the air thick with what he would later know as the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. A red haze clouded his senses, and heard a child being punished. Then he saw the world through the child's, (her,) eyes.
It was sick and twisted. Warped, as everything was hotter in one tiny spot on his, (her,) skin, then another, and another.
He felt fear, pain, (so, so much pain,) and even somehow, acceptance, as if they felt it was the natural order of things. As if they knew no other way it should be.
As soon as she realized what was going on, Ayame took off running, hoping it would help stop her newly developed Quirk.
She didn't get very far, collapsing from using it too much, albeit unintentionally.
Hitoshi blinked away the illusion, stumbling forward as his energy was depleted.
His senses suddenly came back at full force, making him clutch his head with a gasp of pain.
When Hitoshi looked up, Ayame's eyes were bleeding.
She hid her face in her hands after making unintentional eye contact assumably from what just transpired.
He gave her a pained smile, and beckoned her forward.
"H-Hey, it's okay, I'm okay, don't worry..."
They were both damaged in many different ways, but together, maybe their scars wouldn't feel as deep.
.
.

So your Quirk is Brainwashing?
Hitoshi nodded slowly, afraid she would leave like everyone else. They'd been friends for a couple months now, and he hadn't told her his Quirk until now for... obvious reasons.
That's so cool! You'll make a great Hero, Shinsou-kun! Ayame signed enthusiastically, giving a thumbs up when she was done.
His eyes widened, blinking back tears. Those words were all he wanted.
She signed them so simply, acting as if it was fact. She saw what so many couldn't.
She saw him as...
A Hero.
(And isn't that sad? That it was only a child that realized the potential?)
(Hitoshi belatedly realized that his original reason for learning sign language failed.
He couldn't control others from signing and them responding, and yet...
Yet, he finds himself not caring. She was the only one to stick by him, believe in him, when everyone else turned away. She didn't think he was a lost cause.
She stayed.
And he's more than okay with that.)
Finished! I was really excited about this chapter, and hopefully you enjoyed it! I will put the information about her Quirk at the end of this AN, so stay tuned if you're interested, and thanks for reading!

When the quirk is activated the user's eyes glow bright red. If someone looks into the user's eyes while the quirk is active they will fall under the user's illusion.
This is both a strength and a weakness as it allows the user to cast an illusion, but also poses the risk of the user unintentionally casting an illusion on the people around them. This can only be done up to a certain point, as the user has a certain number of people he or she can influence. The stronger the illusion and the more people who are influenced by it increases the stamina and level of concentration required to cast and maintain the illusion.
In order to maintain an illusion the user must concentrate on it,and have the stamina to fuel it the entire time. If the user loses focus or runs out of stamina the illusion will end. Overuse of the quirk strains the eyes, resulting in the user's eyes bleeding, extreme migraines and temporary blindness/blurry vision. This quirk has an additional weakness in that the user's eyes are much more sensitive to light.
If the user is not given time for his or her eyes to adjust to changes in light, the user experiences eye pain and headaches. Typically, this weakness is hardly noticeable. However, in extreme circumstances the pain can leave the user unable to move, speak, or even think clearly.
