Memories (HxH x MHA)

Chapter 10

    "You can be a hero too." That's what you said. Would you change your mind after everything that happened, after you find out that I'm part of that twenty percent?

It all started on his birthday when there was no sign of having a quirk. Everyone was still supporting him, saying he'll receive it soon, that he shouldn't worry. But once he came out of the Doctor's room, everyone was against him. What's wrong with that boy? How does one not have a quirk? So much for his dream.

    The boy was called useless, weak, and worthless but the boy never gave up. No matter how many times people say he couldn't do it or how he'll get hurt. The bullying did hurt, but he didn't care. Instead, he worked twice as hard and took notes on other heroes other than All Might.

    Izuku Midoriya was the name of that boy. Green hair, green eyes, freckles on his cheeks, and quirkless. Midoriya was currently crying in the school restroom.
    "It's been a month and I still miss him," Midoriya cried out. He missed Gon very much and he needed him by his side more than ever. Midoriya rubbed his eyes trying to stop the tears from falling.

    "I bet he'll hate me even more once he finds out I'm quirkless. I bet he'll change his mind about me becoming a hero too," Midoriya whimpered. Midoriya froze when he heard someone open the door. He quickly and silently lifted his backpack onto his lap while trying to hold in any sobs.

    "Ha! Deku is a piece of trash! No wonder Gon left him. He probably knew he was going to be quirkless before even Deku knew!" A familiar boomy person said. Midoriya tilted to the side, peaking through the cracks of the bathroom stall. He could see an explosive blond boy washing his hands at the sink. Another boy with long fingers headed over to a stall. At first, Izuku thought he was going into the stall he was in. Fortunately, he entered the stall to his left.

    "You know, I felt bad for Deku at first. The way Gon treated him made me mad, but now that we aren't friends, who cares?" The blond laughed. The boy next to Midoriya's stall also laughed, but not as much. Midoriya felt his chest squeeze tightly as he refused to cry at a moment like this.
    "Can't believe stupid Deku wants to be a hero... It makes me mad. He can't be a hero and he should accept that. Why can't he see that he'll only get hurt if he keeps trying?" the blond looked at the floor in frustration, clenching his fists.

    Midoriya flinched when the boy next to his stall flushed the toilet. The boy exited the stall and washed his hands. Midoriya hugged his backpack tightly, looking down at the tiled floor. 'Will I really get hurt? Why does it matter if I get to save people?' Midoriya thought.

    "Come on, school is over and I wanna put Deku in his place!" the blond shouted running out of the bathroom, followed by the other boy. Midoriya jumped slightly at those words, he was glad he was hiding. Looks like Midoirya will have to find an excuse as to why he'll be late at home.

_____________________________

    It's been a year since Gon returned to the orphanage. Gon was currently sitting on a bed. The kids at the orphanage all tried to cheer Gon up, but nothing was working. He wouldn't get up to eat, bathe, or even play. Gon would lay down or sometimes sit, that was about it. Once a month he would clean Kōki's tank. He didn't trust anyone cleaning it. The orphan kids already feed Kōki, so Gon only had to worry about them overfeeding him.

    Kōki was placed next to Gon's bed, so the boy would still be around someone he loves. Gon curled up in the blankets, staring at the white kitten toy next to him.
"I miss my parents," Gon mumbled. His eyes felt sore and his heart ached. Kōki looked over at Gon sadly. The frog had caught a glimpse of who killed his parents. He was still shocked and confused. He didn't want to believe what he saw.
