Disclaimer: I own nothing
"Growing up I noticed how hard it was for quirkless people to get jobs. Even if they were more qualified they still wouldn't get it. I say that people wouldn't hire me and decided to make my own business. I promised myself if I ever found another quirkless person I would give him or her the help I needed." says Giran.
Inko's face goes through a series of emotions including but not limited to confusion, anger, pity, and sorrow.
"Y-You're-" starts Inko before getting cut off.
"Like me." says Izuku who didn't know girans plan beforehand but moved along with it seamlessly.
"Is it really that hard? I want what's best for my boy. If it's really that hard it's possible we might not have any other choice." says Inko.
"It's truly terrible. I honestly think it's been getting worse as the quirkless population lessens. I don't think that any quirkless kids these days are going to have any chance of getting a job unless they work together like me and your son." says Giran.
"Well I'm very glad to see you looking after people like Izuku. I think it's super great that people can have each others backs through similarly difficult situations like yours." says Inko.
"Yeah, Giran has been great to me." adds Izuku.
"That's good to hear." says Inko, " I have to ask one last time. Do you think there is any chance of my boy finding a job."
"I'll answer your question with one of my own." says Giran, " Have you ever compared statistics between the quirkless and the quirked population?"
"Do you mean like employment rates?" asks Inko.
"That and other things." replies Giran, "The population of quirkless people hired even on a scale that fits the population gap shows quirkless people being several times lower with a number that is still plummeting even further down. It's not just that either. This is a topic that might not be easy to talk about, but have you ever looked into the suicide rates of people without quirks?"
"I have not. Are-Are they high?" asks Inko hoping he says no but expecting him to say yes.
"They're so high… It's not fair… the way people get treated because of a quirk. I think one of the contributing factors to that number is the stress of never being able to get a job." says Giran.
"I see." says Inko, " Izuku… have you ever felt like suicide might be a solution to your problems?"
"No, I've always continued with my dream of being a pro hero. It's always been there to keep me tethered." replies Izuku.
" Izuku ' been' means past tense… are… are you done with your dream?" asks Inko.
"Yeah… but I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I don't know if I have any plans for the future or what it holds for me but I'm not going to throw my life away. And besides even if I don't become a pro hero there are plenty of ways I can keep helping people. Even if I'm not a government registered hero, I can still be my own kind of hero. I don't think the quirk, costume, or popularity makes a hero. I think it's a drive to do something good and help others." says Izuku.
Giran smiles while looking at Izuku although none of the Midoriya's notice.
'This kid really will change the world for the better, as long as he holds on to that passion and those ideals. People might flock around him and he might make a mistake here or there but he's gonna be the best non official hero in Japan… no the world. This kid's going places and my sorry ass might just be able to help him get there.' thinks Giran.
"That sounds wonderful. I admittedly don't think heroes are special based on what they have the power to do, but instead it's how they use that power." says Inko.
"You two are really alike. You raised a fine young man." says Giran, " But about the job I'd like an answer soon. You don't have to say anything today but please try to get back to me soon."
"Alright, he can do it." says Inko.
"R-Really?" asks Giran who happens to be a little surprised that she agreed so fast.
"Yeah, I just think I can trust you. I saw Izuku smile at you when we came in. It was a genuine smile that lets me know he trusts you and if he trusts you I guess I can trust you too. Although I do have one concern." says Inko gaining the renewed attention of Izuku and Giran.
"And what might that be?" asks Giran.
"It's really far away. I don't know how he will be able to get here for work." says Inko.
"Well I know the real estate around here are cheap." says Giran before pointing to the house across the street, " That place could be paid for with just planned salary with some room for groceries and other things."
"It looks nice from the outside." says Izuku.
"Did you both plan this?" asks Inko.
"No, of course not." says Izuku.
"Izuku, sweety you're a horrible liar." says Inko.
Izuku seems to freeze while he tries to think of something to say.
"Would you promise to visit everyday… well not everyday but every other day?" asks Inko.
"Yeah, I think I'll visit everyday I'm gonna be hard to get rid of." says Izuku.
Inko smiles and chuckles a little bit, " Okay, fine you can move in just keep in touch with me."
"You didn't even need to ask." replies Midoriya.
"Okay who would I need to talk to to rent that house for Izuku?" asks Inko.
"Give me a moment." says Giran before pulling out some papers and handing them to Inko.
"You're a sleazy person. You know that?" says Inko with only a tad of contempt in her voice.
"Yeah, I am but look at the price." says Giran.
"I doubt it'll make much difference." says Inko before looking at the papers, "... Are you joking. I can't take this deal I'll feel like I'm stealing from you."
"I insist also it's that per month to buy not to rent." says Giran.
"That doesn't make it any better… wait I haven't even seen what the house looks like on the inside or the back yard." says Inko.
"Let's fix that." says Giran as he takes a pair of keys out from under his desk.
A half hour later
"That house was wonderful I can't take that from you." says Inko.
"I won it through gambling it cost me nothing and makes me money. You're not stealing from me in the slightest." says Giran.
"Well if you're sure… also who gambles using an entire house?" asks Inko.
"A man with several houses." says Giran.
"Oh, the person was just so rich they had nothing of importance to them to lose on that bet." says Inko.
"Exactly." says Giran.
"Well I guess Izuku stay at the house." says Inko.
"Thank you so much Mom." says Izuku.
"You're gonna pay with money from your job." says Inko.
"That is completely understandable." replies Izuku.
"Alright, now all that we have to do now is fill out some paperwork and Izuku will have a job and a place to stay." says Giran.
"Honestly I'm doing pretty good for myself." says Izuku.
"Do you know why that is?" asks Giran.
"It's because I've got the best boss in the world." says Izuku.
"It's because you've got the best boss in the world." replies Giran.
After some paperwork and some proud parental tears from Inko. Izuku was ready to move in and had a fake job that he would sometimes do to keep up appearances.
"Izuku I'm going to head home do you want to stay here for a little while?" asks Inko.
"...Yeah, sure." answers Izuku.
"Okay, bye sweetie be home soon." says Inko before stepping out and starting to walk home.
"Okay mom, we'll talk again soon." says Izuku.
"So kid… you want a smoke?" asks Giran before holding out a cigarette and a lighter.
"Sure." Midoriya while lighting his cigarette.
"Do you want a celebratory drink?" asks Giran before pulling out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses.
"Sure… just give me a minute." says Midoriya before texting ruby.
Izuku: Would my liver regenerate?
Ruby: Yes and also oh my god what happened?
Izuku: Nothing, I was just wondering if I could drink alcohol without any negative consequences.
Ruby: Yeah, you'll be fine although alcohol will still get you drunk but you should have a high tolerance.
Izuku: Okay thanks.
Ruby: You're welcome
"Thanks for the drink." says Midoriya before downing the entire glass of whiskey like it was nothing.
"...Kid you aren't supposed to down the entire glass… are you okay?" asks Giran who seems a little surprised and also concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine… why wouldn't I be?" asks Midoriya.
"Uhm… No reason. I guess." says Giran eloquently.
"Is it okay if I have more?" asks Midoriya while taking a drag from his cigarette.
"Sure knock yourself out but you might want to mask the whole cigarette and alcohol smell you have going before you go home." says Giran.
"Oh shit. Mom wanted me home soon." says Midoriya before downing another glass that takes no effect on him and running out the door.
Midoriya used his enhanced speed and jumping abilities to travel across town and ran by the beach to let the ocean breeze get rid of his addict scent before heading into the apartment he shares with his mom.
"Hey mom." says Izuku.
"Hey sweetie." says Inko.
"Thanks again for being so understanding about everything today." says Izuku.
"Speaking of everything today you should start packing your bags. Do you have any ideas on how to move everything?" asks Inko.
"I know a girl… and a guy." says Izuku.
The next day
"And that's why I'd like your help moving." says Izuku.
"Yeah, okay." says Hatsume.
"Cool, thanks." says Izuku.
"Are we picking up anyone else?" asks Hatsume.
"Yeah we have just one more stop." says Izuku.
"Alright then." replies Hatsume.
Ten minutes later
"Hey Aunt Mitsuki." says Izuku.
"Hey Izuku, are you looking for my brat?" asks Mitsuki.
"Yeah, I want him to help me move into a house near my new job." says Izuku.
"Oh that's nice, Just a moment." says Mitsuku before turning to the stairs, " HEY DUMBFUCK GET DOWN HERE. He'll be down in just a moment. So what kind of job do you have?"
"I'm gonna sell some cars." says Izuku.
"Wow you're doing really good for yourself." says Mitsuku.
"I like to think so." says Izuku.
"What do you want, you old hag?" asks Bakugou.
"Hey Kachan." says Izuku.
"What are you doing here?" asks Bakugou.
"I know you workout and I want help moving boxes into my new house." says Izuku.
"Why the fuck would I help you?" asks Bakugou.
Bakugou's question is answered by a slap from his mother, " Help him." says Mitsuki.
"God damnit fine." says Bakugou before following Midoriya out to Hatsume's truck.
"You wanna drive brocoli man?" asks Hatsume.
"Sure." says Midoriya before driving to his apartment.
All of the boxes are swiftly put into the back of Hatsume's truck and driven down to Midoriya's new place to get dropped off.
"Hey, green I'm gonna head back to the lab and keep building." says Hatsume once they're done.
"That's fine. I'll see you around." says Midoriya.
Hatsume leaves and now it's just Bakugou and Midoriya alone in the apartment.
"Alright now that scope eyes is gone we can talk." says Bakugou.
"Yeah, I wanted to go over a couple things." replies Midoriya.
"First why did you bring me here?" asks Bakugou.
" I knew you'd say no at first and get hit by your mom and I wanted to see that. Also you're strong. Lastly I wanted to talk about a couple things." says Midoriya.
"And what might those be?" asks Bakugou.
"Do you think I hate you?" asks Midoriya.
"Yeah. I do." says Bakugou
"Well I want you to know that while I'm mad at you for all of your usual bull shit I don't hate you." says Midoriya.
"Well the feeling isn't mutual." says Bakugou.
"Okay, well second I want you to know I don't plan on blackmailing you unless you act up." says Midoriya.
"Fucking better not use that shit." says Bakugou.
"And third, I want you to become a hero because you have the talent to do things that are genuinely good for the world. So I want you to go to U.A I want you to rock that exam and become the greatest hero you can be but before all of that, I want you to get your shit together. So fix yourself up before your arrogance puts you somewhere it can't get you out of. Also get out of my house now the train station is just down the street." says Midoriya.
"Whatever you shitty fucking nerd and I don't need to get my shit together. And even if my shit was not together I would still graduate U.A and become the greatest hero ever." says Bakugou before leaving for the trainstation leaving Midoriya with only one thought.
"God Fucking dammit , I've got a lot of unpacking to do."
Authors Note
So I actually am planning on putting a twist in the toga/Izuku/Uraraka relationship. I won't say anything more about it because it would spoil some story arcs I have in mind. Also sorry for not doing the thing with stain this chapter. I think I might do it with the next chapter or the one after that. I don't exactly know why I decided to write Bakugou into this chapter because I didn't plan it before had but it felt right at the time and I think it showed that while Izuku is pissed he isn't unforgiving and i think it did a good job of that. I'm also glad I got to show Hatsume again because I think she's cool. I also have a couple of ideas for story arcs that don't happen in the main series and i don't want to say what they are but I want to know how people feel about an extra story arc or two to add some world building. Also just one last thing I watched detective Pikachu and I think it was amazing so I want to talk about it without spoiling anything. The way the pokemon looked was actually really cool and I originally though that I wouldn't like it at all but I loved it . It was really funny and Pikachu played by Ryan Reynolds is hilarious to me. I also loved the way Pikachu sounded in the detective Pikachu game because his voice didn't match his body which made him seem funny. I hope that Nintendo makes more movies that are as good as or better than detective Pikachu.
Theguythatdidthatthing: I can understand that the ship isn't for you but you might be pleasantly surprised at what I plan on doing in Izuku's romantic life. As for your other comment I think I'm gonna have him do something that isn't either of those options but I might make one of those happen.
AtomicDragon59: I think the way you describe Izuku meeting stain works well and adds a lot to the story but I have a surprise in mind for his meeting with stain. I think the sludge incident is a good way to rationalize Izuku losing faith in heroes as fast as he is. Also I do plan on having Izuku and eraser head fight some villains together and i think it will make for an interesting chapter. I also think that I can try to make the post fight dialogue a little funny. I'm really looking forward to writing dialogue between Izuku and Uraraka because she is so pure and he's gonna be a bad boy who drinks, smokes, and looks for fights with super villains despite having powers for less than a year. I also think the reveal that Izuku has seen death firsthand will be interesting when the time comes for me to write that.
Amadeus Amadeus: I think the concept of those polar opposite women dating the same man would be really fun to write. They can have a Yin Yang thing going on between them that could lead to some funny moments. Our cinnamon role might lose a little bit of his sweetness but he remains a cinnamon role in our hearts. You are right about me needing to change a couple of things for a three way relationship between these opposite ends of the spectrum to work out while feeling natural and not forced. I'm really looking forward to Eraser head and the Hero Killer Stain. I think Aizawa's general I'm too tired for this shit paired with a blood sucking vigilante who's quirk he can't erase is gonna be so much fun to write. I'm thinking after I write the story arcs for those two I might go into and original story arc and I might try to include them in some way but I'm not sure how to at the moment.
