Izuku Aizawa

Part 3: Backstory 02

Chapter warnings-depression, mentions of suicidal thoughts, abuse, substance abuse

Izuku woke up to Hisashi slapping him in the face. "If you're late to school they'll blame me! Get up stupid!" Hisashi stomped out of the room and slammed the door. Izuku climbed down the stairs quietly, hoping to escape his master's rage. His efforts were in vain. Hisashi noticed him trying to sneak out and ended up beating him twice as hard because of it.

As he limped to school he thought of something that made him smile. 'When I get to school I can tell Kacchan about my quirk!'

" I can't wait to tell him!"

"Tell who what?" Kacchan said, suddenly right behind Izuku.

"AH! Don't sneak up on me like that Kacchan! I was saying I can't to tell you what my quirk is." replied Izuku.

"Oh yeah? What is it? Is it as strong as mine? Come on tell me Zuku!"

"Well the doctor said my quirk is transform. I can turn into any animal or person, and I can even use their quirk! But I have to focus really hard..." Kacchan got a childish grin on his face. "Show me! Show me! Show me!"

"Ok ok... But what should I transform into?" Izuku asked. "Transform into me Izu!" Kacchan replied in his usual loud voice. "Ok, just a sec." Izuku focused on his quirk. He squeezed his eyes shut and imagined Kacchan. When he opened his eyes again Kacchan looked at him in amazement. "Woah! Now try to use my quirk!" Izuku put his hand out in front of him and tried to use Kacchans quirk. To his surprise a loud explosion erupted from his palm. He jumped backward in alarm.

"Hey it worked!" Kacchan yelled to Izuku. "I know! That was super cool!" replied Izuku. "Now transform into a cat and I can carry you to school. It'll be kind of like a prank on our classmates." Small animals are easier to transform into, so it only took a moment to turn into a small, fluffy, dark green ball of fur. Kacchan picked up Izuku and put him in his hoodie pocket. Izuku poked his head out and Kacchan scratched him behind the ears. 

When they got to school kids swarmed around them asking why Kacchan had a kitten in school. They crowded around the boy with the kitten, asking if they can pet him and then reaching out to pet Izuku even after Kacchan told them no. "SHUT UP YOU DAMN EXTRAS!" Kacchan shouted over all of the talking students. Izuku, still in his kitten form, jumped down onto the ground and turned back into himself. Everyone just stared at him dumbfounded. 

The rest of the day was pretty normal for Izuku, he did all of his work, ate lunch, went back to class, the usual. But, when he was walking 'home' he had to lie to Kacchan about why he couldn't walk home with him. He told Kacchan that he and his dad were going out shopping. Kacchan said that it was fine and he'll see him tomorrow.

~At this point of the story I'm going to switch to first person. I don't like switching between P.O.V.s a bunch because it's distracting, but it's necessary here.~

⚠️I walked home wondering what would happen when I got there. As soon as I walk in and close the door master kicked me hard in the stomach. I doubled over in pain and started coughing. He drug me by my hair to the spare room set aside for this specifically. He threw me against the wall and I curled up on the ground trying to protect myself. To no avail. He grabbed my wrists and threw me on the bed. "DON'T GO ANYWHERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He left and grabbed his friends from downstairs. I hadn't even noticed they were there before. They tossed the ropes, whips, and various other things they would be using onto the bed. "Oi, get me another beer!" Hisashi said to one of his buddies who was carrying a 24 pack. He tossed him a beer. He popped it open and downed it all at once. He threw the empty can at me. He grabbed another beer, drank half of it, and then poured the rest over my head. He and all of his friends laughed at me. 'They think this is hilarious. What the Hell is wrong with them? Why do they enjoy this? Why won't anyone stop them! Mom would have stopped them...Would she have? Would she just let them? Would she have turned blind eye? Would she help them? I don't even know anymore. I hate this..I hate this! I hate this!!!'
