Chapter 3: Kacchan

It was the day after Hisashi's return to Japan and reunion with Izuku and Inko. Today was the day that Izuku had been scared of since his visit to the doctors. Young Izuku Midoriya was heading back to pre-school with a quirk, this would be the day that he was either accepted or rejected by his classmates. As the Midoriya's begun the small walk to the pre-school Izuku felt like he was going to be sick as his stomach churned at the thought of being rejected and having his classmates mock him and his quirk. Despite this fear, Izuku walked with his parents as he also felt hope, hope that he would be accepted by his classmates and possibly rebuild his friendship with Kacchan. These were the thoughts that kept the youngest Midoriya going as they finally arrived at the school gates.

As Katsuki and his mother approached the school they spotted the Midoriya's. Katsuki stared at Deku as the young boy walked into the building with a small smile on his face, this confused Katsuki as he thought about what his classmate could be happy about. 'Deku looked happy just now, why though? Did he finally get his quirk?' Katsuki continued to toss the idea around in his head as they got closer to the gate. His mother called out to Mrs. Midoriya, causing her to jump slightly as she turned to face Mitsuki and Katsuki. As the two women were talking Katsuki noticed a man who looked just like Izuku was approaching them. As the young boy glared at the newcomer he was surprised to see him put his arm around Inko's waist. Katsuki's eyes widened as he noticed who the man was, standing right in front of him was Hisashi Midoriya, Izuku's dad. 'Crud, did Deku tell his parents about us teasing him? Is that why he was smiling, because he knew his mum and dad were going to tell the school? That idiot, I'll show hi-'

"Ah, hello Katsuki. You sure have grown since the last time I saw you!" Hisashi said, snapping Katsuki out of his inner monologue and back to the conversation. Katsuki looked up at Hisashi in surprise, before turning his head to the side saying a quick good morning. Hisashi knew that the boy standing in front of him was surprised to see him, seeing how he was always away. Hisashi smiled at Katsuki as he said "Izuku's already inside the school building, if you want to go talk to him. He has a surprise that he wants to show you today." Katsuki looked up at Hisashi as if he was trying to find out what the surprise was by staring at Hisashi's face before Mitsuki gave him a small push towards the school as she said her goodbyes to the Midoriya's. As Inko and Hisashi walked back to their home Hisashi couldn't help the small smirk which appeared on his face 'let's see how you react to this surprise Katsuki'

Katsuki walked into the main room where all of the pre-schoolers were; as he looked over his classmates he saw the mop of green hair in one of the corners of the room. As Katsuki began to head over to Izuku two of the other pre-schoolers followed him. Katsuki knew they were following him, as they always did, but did not turn to talk to either of the two. As the small group of three got closer they were surprised to see Izuku notice them and then approach the others, walking faster than normal as he made his way over. Katsuki glared at the boy as he remembered what Hisashi had said before leaving 'wonder what sort of surprise Deku has. Ha, he's probably just learnt how to read or something simple like that' as Katsuki finished that thought he noticed that Izuku was standing right in front of him with the same goofy grin as his father.

Out of all the things Katsuki had thought, he never would have guessed that the surprise was Izuku's quirk. The green haired boy had said that he had been to the doctors after his quirk manifested and had it explained. The other boys looked intrigued whereas Katsuki stood with them and showed little to no surprise. 'Huh. So Deku might not be as useless. Oh well, it's not like his quirks as awesome as mine' Katsuki then asked "so what can you do Deku?" causing the green haired boys smile to grow even larger as he went to reply when the teacher called for all of the class to head outside to play.

As Izuku heard the teachers request he turned to Katsuki and the others "I'll show you outside. It will be safer to use out their" and so he and the others headed to the garden area of the pre-school. Izuku walked over to the fence, away from the building and turned to his friends. He looked to each of their faces; the red winged boy looked at Izuku with head slightly tilted in curiosity, while the other boy, the ones with the extending fingers, looked at Izuku with interest as he also waited to see the quirk. Katsuki on the other hand looked rather bored by the whole thing as he impatiently tapped his foot as he waited for Izuku to show them his quirk. Izuku stepped back from the others and breathed in, feeling air fill his lungs as he prepared to release the flames, the other boys looked at him with curious eyes, including Katsuki, as they watched the green haired boy inhale before opening his mouth to let a large torrent of flames escape into the air.

Katsuki looked at his friend in shock as Izuku breathed fire just like the western dragons he'd read about. He could feel the heat from where he stood as the other two boys backed way with a slight scream. As Katsuki continued to watch in awe he noticed that Izuku begun to move his hand around, causing the flames twist and turn in the air before they died out. Katsuki then looked directly at Izuku and noticed that the other looked tired. 'He must have strained his quirk' Katsuki figured as his friends went over to Izuku when they noticed the flames disperse and chatter away excitedly, complimenting him and his quirk. Izuku looked to Katsuki smiling, silently asking for the ash blondes own thoughts on the boys new quirk. Katsuki was still surprised at the cool quirk Izuku had before saying "ok yeah that's a cool quirk Deku but I'm still gonna be the number one hero in the future you hear!" while pointing at his friend. To Katsuki's surprise Izuku didn't attempt to make a comeback, instead smiling happily at his friend before saying

"I know you'll become a great hero Kacchan, but that doesn't mean I won't be either" Izuku finished before heading over to where some of the other kids were playing football. As Izuku walked over he noticed from the corner of his eye that the other boys who usually followed Katsuki around were walking with him. He smiled at his friends as they went over to the other children while talking about his cool new quirk. His father had already explained Izuku's quirk to the staff members so that they were aware of the potential risks they may face which was why the staff members had not run over to the group of four when Izuku had demonstrated his new found quirk. As the boys continued to talk about Izuku's quirk while playing football the other children overheard and started to ask Izuku to show them. Izuku smiled nervously as he used his quirk once again, albeit with less power than last time to his classmates. The amazement he saw in their eyes put him at ease 'looks like I had nothing to worry about.' Izuku and the other children continued interact as the day went on, almost forgetting about Katsuki who stood dumbfounded as he watched Izuku have fun with the others from where he stood.

And this is where I will be ending the chapter. I know it's short and indeed another childhood. Next chapter will be jumping forward in time to around the end of middle school. I would just like to say thank you to all of you who have read, followed and reviewed this story. It means a lot to see that people enjoy the plot of the story. Also thank you to those who have left ideas on how to improve my writing skills, I hope that I can implement what you say to make this as good of a story as I can.
