Having graduated from preschool several years ago, Katsuki and I are now fourteen. Our relationship has grown far beyond what I thought possible. Even though he can be an asshole sometimes, I love him more than anything. I had tried my hardest for him and Midoriya to get along but he still hates his guts. I could never understand why, but I won't force them to be friends if it just doesn't work. However, he doesn't even think about fighting Izuku in front of me. In junior high, we didn't get put in the same classroom since we are twins. Which doesn't really make sense because we are not identical twins. That didn't stop me from kicking the door down if I heard he was causing trouble. I think I almost broke his jaw once when I found out that he burned Midoriya badly enough that it left him with a first-degree burn. I wouldn't have even known if Izuku didn't come and tell me. To think that Katsuki is the older twin and he acts like an immature child half of the time.
When my brother brought up the topic of attending UA, he asked if I would be joining him. I had to do some serious thinking after that. I wasn't sure if I truly wanted to aim to be a hero. I know that is the whole point of the Anime but the idea of fighting for my life and others was kind of terrifying. However, Katsuki wouldn't take no for an answer. He said I had great potential and shouldn't waste it on being uncertain. "You always stick up for that worthless Deku, you'd be fine." Yeah- standing up against a bully is EXTREMELY different than fighting a full-on fucking villain.
Right now we are in our backyard throwing punches at each other. Mom and Dad are currently out on a date so we thought we would do some practice while they're gone. Ever since my brother announced he wanted to be a hero, I was dragged by him to help him train our quirks. I didn't really want to at the start but Katsuki said that if anyone was going to train with him, it might as well be me since I'm the only person he can stand being with for hours on end. I grunted as I backed away a couple of feet from him as he shot a large explosion my way. Since we have similar quirks, we have been trying to bounce ideas off of each other when it comes to ways of using them. The main difference between us is that I can use my quirk in my hands and feet, while he can only use his hands. In a burst of energy at the bottom of my feet, I launch myself over Katsuki, holding a hand out, aiming another blast at him. He saw it coming and twisted himself to face me, blocking my hit with his own, bouncing me backward onto my ass.
"You really need to work on using your feet more," Katsuki said as he offered his hand to me. I gratefully took it and he helped me up. "I know you can move faster than that if you just tried harder."
I groaned loudly. "Yeah, but it's not exactly easy. You're more gifted at your quirk than I am."
"That's some bullshit. It's just because I practice a lot more than you do." He said as he concentrated a small blast in his right palm. "If I'm going to be the number one hero, I need to train like one."
"Yeah yeah, I know," I grumbled, rolling my eyes at him. I clench my fists to the side. I have never been as good as my brother when it came to power. He got his quirk earlier than I did and is fully focused on his goals. I could never get my head around how quirks work. Half the time I used mine, my limbs would ache like they wanted to fall off. I don't know if that is normal since I'm using explosions or if it's just one of the drawbacks of my quirk. He didn't seem to have the same issue, or if he does, he doesn't show it.
Katsuki looks over and gives me a small smile. "Besides, if you want to be by my side in the hero course of UA, you will need to learn how to use your quirk to the fullest. Even if you don't like the idea of that, I know you can do it."
I stare up at him with wet eyes. Katsuki isn't always like this but when he does, it always seems to catch me off guard. Fuck, I love him sometimes. I rushed forward and embraced him in a tight hug.
"Oi, get the hell off me!" He shouts, pushing me off of him. "You fucking stink!" I gasped, pulling away from him, and giving him a smack across his shoulder.
"Hey! It's not like you smell like a bed of roses either 'Suki!"
"Whatever." He grumbles, stuffing his hands in his pocket before making his way inside. I shake my head and follow him.
"I'm gonna take a shower bro, call me if you need anything," I said, passing him to go to the bathroom. As I pass I see his devilish smirk. "What…?" I looked at him confused. He then takes off in a sprint leaving me stunned. I realized where he was going and screeched. I ran after him but he made it to the bathroom first, slamming and locking the door behind him.
"KATSUKI BAKUGOU!" I shouted, pulling roughly on the door knob.
"What old hag?!" He shouted back through the door. "I got here first, you are going to have to wait!"
The front door of the house opened with Mom and Dad walking in with small smiles but stopped at the door when they heard their daughter cussing, and hitting a door.
"YOU LITTLE SHIT, ONCE YOU GET OUT HERE YOU'RE DEAD!"
The parents looked at each other, sweat dripping at the scene. Masaru looks at his wife. "Should we just…walk out and pretend we aren't home yet." He suggests. Mitsuki deadpans and walks back outside without a word. "I'll take that as a yes." He chuckles and walks out, closing the door behind him.
Hearing the bell ring, signaling that school is over for today. I get up from my seat, swinging my backpack over my shoulders, and start walking out. Thank fucking god, any longer and I think I would have gone crazy. I sighed as I walked down the hall towards my brother's classroom. I usually try to meet up with him there so we can walk home together, but this time, I think I've heard something I probably wasn't meant to. "You know, if you wanted to be a hero that badly. There actually might be another way. Just pray that you'll be born with a quirk in the next life, and take a swan dive off the roof of the building." I heard my brother's condescending voice through the door laughing mockingly. I swear I think I saw fucking red. The eyebrows on my forehead furrowed downward as I stood at the entrance of the door with a large scowl. Seeing the door open I made a low growling sound. Katsuki proceeded to bump into me as he tried walking out.
"Who the fuck!" My brother said, rubbing his face. His friend's eyes widen at the sight of me. "Oh shit!" The gray-haired one whisper-shouted and they both darted down the hallway together. He looked up, confused as to why his friends ran out, seemingly with fear in one of their voices. His face pales, as he starts to realize that he just fucked up.
I look past him to spot a shaking Midoriya with tears in his eyes. The smile on my face was fakely sweet as I called out to him. "Oh, hello Izuku. That's okay, you can leave first!" I said as I grabbed Katsuki by the collar of his shirt, pulling him back inside the classroom, and giving him enough space between us and the door. Midoriya looks between us with a worried gaze. He grabbed his bag before slowly walking out, not before glancing back at me before fully leaving. I stood there for a few more moments, making sure he was gone before glaring at my brother.
"What the FUCK do you think you're doing, saying shit like that!" I screamed, smashing him against the wall with a small explosion, singeing his uniform slightly where I held it.
Katsuki hissed, reaching to grab the spot with one of his hands. "What are you talking about, I said nothing."
"Don't try to gaslight me! What gives you the right to say that to Izuku, let alone anyone? I know you don't like Midoriya, but you can't just tell someone to go off themselves!"
"You wouldn't fucking understand," Katsuki grumbles. I growled, throwing him roughly on the floor. "Then make me understand!" I shouted back. Katsuki paused"He needs to understand he can not become a fucking hero, that's why I'm doing it."
"That's not a reason for abusing him like how you have been Katsuki! Besides, Izuku can become a hero if he tries hard enough, isn't that what you always tell me!"
"THATS THE REASON WHY I DO IT!" He shouts, putting his hands in his hair, and pulling on it slightly. "Because I know he could make it as a hero if he tried hard enough, but I'm trying to fucking scare him out of it! I know you wouldn't get it because you fucking baby the bastard every time!"
I paused, looking conflicted. He believes Midoriya can become a hero? Then why even do this? "I don't understand…If you think that way, then why try to stop him from accomplishing his dreams?" I asked.
Katsuki sighed. "Because, if he somehow becomes a hero, with him being quirkless, it's only a matter of time before he nerd gets himself killed." He says as he starts walking, and I follow him closely beside him. "It's unfair, but it's true…and I don't want that to happen." He finishes as we continue to walk in silence.
Katsuki and I are walking through an alleyway, a shortcut that we usually take. It's faster than following the streets, plus it's less crowded. We haven't spoken since we left the classroom. I sighed as I kicked a plastic bottle with my quirk, causing some green gunk inside of it. Gross I think I burnt whatever was inside. "You don't hate me, right?" Katsuki asks quietly. I looked at him surprised. "No, you make me angry sometimes, but I could never hate you. Why would you think I'd hate you?" I asked. He shrugs his shoulders at me. "Just making sure…" I shake my head before freezing in place. A large glob-shaped shadow appears over us, making us look at who is making it. Our eyes widened in fear at the sight.
"Perfect! I love a meat sack with some fire! The creature said before rushing forward to me. Katsuki screams my name, pushing me roughly out of the way, getting caught in the sludge instead. "KATSUKI!" I screamed as the villain left with my brother. I followed them closely with my quirk as the villain left a path of destruction. I leap forward, ready to let out a blast before I get tugged back by a thick branch.
"NO!" I shouted, smacking at whatever grabbed me. "Let go of me you bastard!" The hero, Kamui Woods kept me in place. "Don't even think about it kid, let the pros handle this!" He shouted as a larger hero with white arms rushed in and smashed the slime with zero effect. "W-what is this stuff! I can't grab a hold of it!" He said before a sludge arm came out and slapped him away.
I struggle in Kamui's hold. "Let me go! Please! He has my fucking brother!" I shouted, making a small explosion trying to knock him away from me. He looked shocked and turned to the other heroes. "That thing has a kid hostage!"
The heroes looked around. "Shit! None of us have the right quirk for this! The kid is going to have to wait until someone with the right quirk comes along!"
The pain of watching my brother struggling in the hands of a villain is something I forgot that could happen. Fuck this is all my fault, I forgot that sludge fucker existed!' I cried to myself. A green blob passed me, making me lift up my head. Midoriya!
Midoriya throws his yellow backpack at the monster, hitting him in the eye, making him loosen his hold slightly on my brother. My eyes widen as he gasps for air. "That's fucking it, let go of me you fucking twig!" I shouted, blasting a large explosion at him, making him release me. I was about to charge in myself before someone shouted, "DETROIT SMASH!" Blasting the villain away. I ran into the scene to catch my brother.
"KATSUKI!" I cried out.
