Chapter Text
Izuku had just finished school and he’s already running. Seriously why is his life so unfair? Why can’t they just leave him alone?
“Deku! Come back here!” Tsubasa shouts out. Izuku doesn’t really know why Tsubasa is running, he could just use his wings. Oh shit maybe he shouldn’t jinx it.
Just as Izuku thought he got away and was done for the day, he turned the corner and ran under a bridge. It should be safe here It shouldve been safe here because next thing he knows he’s getting a mouthful of slime. Do these things always happen to people or just Izuku? Could these day get possibly worse?
“Don’t worry, I’m just taking over your body. It’ll be easier for the both of us if you don’t fight back.”
Okay so Izuku takes that back. Izuku desperately tries to get the goo off of him but it all feels like too much. The slime is deep in his throat and he can’t cough it up. He can’t die now, he has himiko and mom to get back to. He has to get back. Izuku is grabbing as hard as he could on the sludge villain. Please he has to get back.
“Have no fear boy for that you are now safe..”
What?
“Now that I am here that is!”
Oh fuck it’s All Might.
The sludge villain launches out an attack but All Might quickly dodges. As All Might rushes forward another attack is sent his way. All Might doesn’t seem to be worried though.
“TEXAS SMASH!” That’s the last thing he hears before he slips out of consciousness.
“Hey! Hey!” Izuku’s head is pounding and whoever this is, is slapping him. Can they stop? If this is Himiko he’s gonna- “Hey!”
Oh my god, can they leave him alone? “Hey!” Izuku slowly opens his eyes to see.. All Might?! Oh fuck. Right. He almost just died .
“Thought we lost you there!” All might says with a grin that looks like it’s permanently etched on him.
“All might? What the fuck?” Izuku says with wide eyes. Did.. All might just save him?
“Sorry to have gotten you involved in that fight!” Izuku is in awe of the man before him that he can’t even think straight.
“Well i’ll be going now!”
Izuku is snapped out of his thoughts and he reminded himself of the question he wanted to ask. “Wait All Might!”
“I have to go!” The man won’t stop walking now.
So Izuku does want he can only think of next. He holds on to All Mights leg.
2 hours later
Izuku went home that day silently. He didn’t want to listen to music like he usually does, it all felt too overwhelming. Hell, he didn’t even want to keep walking but he has to get back home or he’ll worry his sister.
After whatever the hell happened there, he didn’t really see the point to keep writing down notes anymore. He didn’t stop to write about any of the villains he saw walking down the street. What was the point?
All he ever wanted was to be a hero and that had been brutally shut down by his favorite hero. He can’t blame the man, he’s probably right.
When he finally got home, he found his sister lying on the floor. “Himiko.. what are you doing?”
“Counting how many dots are on the ceiling.” Himiko giggles.
“Goodluck with that.” and with that Izuku goes up to their room and shuts the door. He doesn’t wanna do much of anything right now but he has to finish up his homework. He just feels like sleeping forever.
Himiko can tell when something’s up with her brother. His posture changes, his eyes seem duller and he’s more.. If Izuku was in a good mood he would’ve joined her. She can’t just let this slide by, something’s up.
Himiko gets up to go walk to their room. “Hey hey!” Himiko chirps. Hopefully being cheerful brightens his mood?
“Hi.” Izuku grumbles from the bed with his face down.
“What’s up?” Himiko tones down her voice into a much softer voice.
“All Might said I couldn’t be a hero. Kacchans friends followed me.” Izuku says with a watery voice. His brother hadn’t sounded like that in a few weeks and it breaks Himikos heart. But wait. “All Might said what?”
Izuku stiffens. “He.. said I couldn’t-“ Himiko is struggling to keep her rage down so he doesn’t think she’s mad at him.
“I know. I heard what you said. I can’t believe he would say that! He’s the number one hero!” Himiko sneers.
“Yeah. Even the number one hero believes I can’t do it. I should’ve just accepted it when mom-“
“Stop. Don’t say that Izuku. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! Remember Eraserhead? He practically fights quirkless!”
“Doesn’t change the fact he has a quirk.”
“So what? If he can do it, so can you.” Himiko sighs and walks over towards Izuku and sits on the bed while carressing his hair.
“Why couldn’t I just get a quirk?” Izuku sniffles.
“I’m sorry. You don’t need a quirk to be a good hero though.” Himiko continues before Izuku gets a chance to disagree. “What do you say we sneak out and walk around later? The fresh air might do ya some good.”
Izuku sniffles again. “Really?”
“Yeah. Maybe we can get you a couple of snacks while we do.” Himiko smiles softly.
“Thank you.”
