Chapter Text
Izuku Midoriya has been called many names: sweetie by his mom Inko, Midoriya by other adults, freak by the other kids and most importantly, Deku by Kacchan aka Bakugou Katsuki. You may ask why That punk Kacchan is so mean to him but the answer is quite easy, Izuku is quirkless, powerless, WORTHLESS. The early years of his life were great, watching All Might on tv with Kacchan while their moms were drinking tea (and secretly taking pictures of the two toddlers)
But the moment Kacchan got his quirk, things started to change. Bakugou got more and more violent. The breaking point was when Izuku tried defending a black haired boy with a small scar on his right eye. Bakugou and his buddies kicked, punched and burned izuku while the black haired boy ran away, muttering something to himself About Being unmanly. And somehow 10 years later Bakugou only got worse.
‘Alright settle down, settle down.’ The teacher said enthusiastically. ‘I know you all have great quirks and want to get into UA but calm down.’
‘The hell teach, don’t compare my godlike power to these sorry excuses.’ Bakugou roared through the classroom with a smug grin on his face.
‘Kacchan, can you please calm down.’ Izuku softly asked.
‘Shut your fucking mouth Deku!’ Was his response.
Eventually the angry piece of dynamite walked up to his target after class. ‘I know what you’re trying to do, you’re gonna try to get into UA and embarrass me. Well I have a better idea, don’t try it freak and take a swan dive off the roof, pray you hopefully get a quirk in your next life. Maybe it will be a tenth as awesome as mine is.’ After that he just left.
On his way home, Izuku decided to take a shortcut through a tunnel but what he saw inside Made his day go from 3 to 2.
A boy, about his age, with short, wavy, light brown hair, brown eyes and a gasmask hanging around his neck. The boy was being attacked by a man Made of a green, slimy liquid.
Izuku wanted to help the boy but what was he gonna do, so he just stood there watching in terror and unable to move.
Luckily just as the boy and slime-man noticed Izuku, a big silhouette appeared and got the gas mask wearing boy free with a single punch. It was All Might.
Izuku was speechless, his hero was standing in front of him. ‘Maybe he knows if I can be a hero without a quirk’ he thought. So before all might jump off, he grabbed All Might’s leg. About three rooftops further and a harsh scolding from his idol, the two noticed a third person on the rooftop: the boy with the gasmask, the gasmask currently hanging around Izuku’s leg.
‘He followed us all this way just for his gasmask?’ Izuku and All Might thought.
‘You’re a moron, are you greenie, not noticing something hanging around your own leg and then hanging onto this gorilla’s leg’. ‘And you’, the boy pointed at All Might,’you’re number one, yet you don’t notice two boys hanging onto you. I kinda expected better.’ They looked dumbfounded at the odd boy as he grabbed his mask.
‘Are you alright?’ Izuku asked cautiously.
‘Fine i guess. But why would you hang onto All Might. We could have fallen and died.’ The masked kid asked back.
‘I need to ask something.’
‘Then ask him quickly because he is about to leave.’ Izuku turned around and saw All Might leaving while smoke started coming from him.
‘Wait All Might, I need to ask you something. I don’t have a quirk but I still want to be a hero. So do you think Ican be a..’ his words died down in his throat as the smoke revealed someone resembling a corpse.
Before the two students could scream, the corpse quickly started explaining. ‘ before you ask, yes I am All Might. I now look like this because I was injured in a big fight that took many of my organs.’
‘Was it moonfish or was it the healing killer, Ima Washiki?’ Izuku quickly asked.
‘No, but you know your stuff dontcha.’ All Might answered. ‘The fight I am talking about was kept secret from the public, and speaking of secrets, I advise you both to keep my appearance to yourselves.’ Both the boys nodded.
‘And lastly the answer to your question. No, I don’t think you can be a hero without a quirk, it’s just too dangerous.’ And with that the hero left, not noticing that the missing slime villain he put in his pocket earlier, was missing.
Izuku was devastated, his hero told him to give up on his lifelong dream. He was about to sob until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
‘For what it’s worth, I thought you were a hero when you at least thought about saving me. Plenty of people would have ran away.” The boy with the gasmask said. ‘You got a name?’ He then asked.
‘Izuku Midoriya’
‘Satoshi Iguchi’ he said back. ‘Let’s get down.’ And you as they were about to leave, they noticed an explosion in the background. And while Satoshi thought about him possibly making a friend, Izuku thought about one thing
‘Kacchan’.
