The Day You Found Me | Deku X Reader

"Today was different"

Each day I waited for him in the same place, anticipating his arrival. The feelings that flow through me each time I see him, each time I heard the school bell ring... They gave me life. That excitement made my stomach hurt each time I saw him, the ability to contain myself became no more when he walked out of that building everyday. I ran to him each time, told him I loved him, he could never hear my words, but he'd always expressed it back to me one way or another. But today, something was different. He was off.

I'd waited for what felt like forever, he usually came out quite quickly... But now mostly everyone had cleared out of the building...

He finally exited the school, walking to me with his head down, sulking, had he not been excited to see me today..? He always calls my name and waves, running to me just as I would him. Today he walked, and slowly. "C'mon Miyu... I gotta go find my stuff..." He squatted down infront of me with a saddened expression, resting his hands on his knees. I tilted my head and whined, licking his hand in hopes of cheering him up. I'd watched and mastered this behavior for years now, mimicking other peoples... Real pets. He offered me a light smile before ruffling the fur between my ears. We took a different route today, under a bridge just nearby the school, he picked up his notebook from some water that seemed like it hadn't been cycled in years, it definitely smelled that way too.

"That's not fish food..." He yanked the book from the koi below. It's just now that I noticed a burn mark on his shoulder. I smelled the air deeply, taking in any scents around me. I could feel that emotion flooding back as I felt the scent of the notebook, it was on his hand, his shoulder, his backpack, his chest, and that burnt notebook. My vision became clear, I could see the handprints form along the areas as I sniffed, pinpoint their exact locations. I bared my teeth and growled as I realize who it'd been. Who hurt him. It must've been really bad today. "Yea... I thought you'd catch on sooner or later..." He sighed, waving the notebook around in an attempts to dry it.

"Kacchan really went too far today if you ask me... He won't stop me though. I'll become a hero, no matter what!" I jumped around and chased him joyfully as he raised his fist in the air and imitated his idol, All Might, letting out a hardy laugh, just like he does. I'm so grateful for that man's existence, he gave Izuku hope each and every day, his entire inspiration. He truly was a hero. I can't wait to be by Izuku's side when he's a hero...

But there's just one thing, he doesn't necessarily have a quirk. But if you ask me... He doesn't need one.

I'd dedicate myself to him, become his stallion, my quirk has many forms, but... I'd have to reveal my true form to him... He'd know my secret, that I was human all along...

But my other forms go interchangeably, from a puppy, to a beast. He could use support items, I'd be his protector! We'd be the best duo out there... We just have to learn and train, the dream felt just barely out of reach... How would he react to my human form...? Would he still love me just as much..? Would I still be his best friend?

I soon smelt a new scent, interrupting my thoughts, it came from below us but it was difficult to target. I focused on sniffing the ground some more but- suddenly I heard him scream, I turned around to the scene in a flash, the scent was much prominent now.

A villian.

I barked, jumped, growled, and circled the creature as I watched Izuku claw for his breath. I felt like crying, I didn't know what to do. I could feel my blood pumping through every vein, an anger and terror took over my entire body all at once.

Do I use my next form? Do I risk it? Or should I give myself up now?

I whimpered in a panic, quickly deciding to change forms. But right before I was ready... "I AM HERE!" With a loud BOOM!, he landed behind me, him. He approached the villian at speeds I couldn't keep up with, and in just one punch, just one, he had him collected in two soda bottles which he then placed in his pockets and patted, "Caught you!" He kneeled to the ground finally, picking up the notebook, he read the cover and flipped the pages open. He looked through each one quizzically, humming at a few of the pages, or nodding as he skimmed, He flipped to some blank pages in the back and signed in a thick black marker.

I began barking, seeing as long he decided to take before checking on Izuku, him being a pro and all. I ran up to Izuku and continued alerting him, hoping he'd catch my idea.

"Ooo!" He closed his fists and brought them to his chin, posing in a 'cutesy' fashion. "He has a puppy-!" He squeeked with pink cheeks, before I knew it he'd squatted down and snapped a photo of me and him on Izuku's phone. I growled and pawed at Izuku, "Oh right-" He shamed himself, scratching his neck awkwardly.

"Wake up-" He slapped his face consecutively while I pawed at him. "C'mon kid-" After a good minute he slowly began to awaken, rising up and placing his palm on his head. "Thought I lost you there!" He saluted to him with a flat palm.

Izuku shrieked in disbelief. "AL-ALL MIGHT?!" He backed up. "Sorry kid- the cities sewer systems are more difficult to navigate than I thought. Heroes are so busy you know!"

"Am I dead?!" Izuku replied.

All Might began stretching, leading into a squat as he got ready to take off again. "I gotta thank you boy, iv'e been chasing that villian all day!" Izuku scrambled for his notebook and a pen, flipping to a page he presumed to be blank. "HE ALREADY SIGNED IT!?" He practically almost fainted again. "Well iv'e got to go now kid-"

"Wait! I have so much to ask-!" He exclaimed.

"Heroes are very busy an-"

"Please AllMight it's very important!"

"Seriously kid I-"

"I-I just need to-" He interrupted again, All Might took this as a chance to finally take off. But in a split second decision, Izuku clinged to him, and leaving me no choice I bit his backpack strap, coming with him for the ride.

He's seriously gonna get me killed one day...

We flew through the air, both struggling to keep our eyes and mouth's shut. Yet I was used to this feeling on car rides.

"ALL MiGhT-!"

He yelled, his voice cracking throughout. All Might turned his head around in disbelief, "Kid?!" He attempted to pry us off. "I HaVE sOmAnY qUeStIonS!"

"Get off!"

"If you push us off now- we'll die!" He stopped pushing immediately. "Oh- yea- your right- just keep your eyes mouth closed-!" All Might exclaimed annoyedly.

We landed on the roof of a building nearby, he set us both down. "You're going to get yourself and your dog killed if you always act this reckless!" He remarked. "Bang on the door and i'm sure somebody will come let you down." He prepared to take off again as his body began to steam. "WAIT!" He reached out. "No kid I have to leave-!" Suddenly he choked, a stream of blood shot out of his mouth and down his chin, and the steam leaching off of his body became much more prominent. "I-I- I just have to ask you-" He began,

Izuku shrieked in disbelief when the steam dissipated.

"You're not All Might!" He pointed, then looking to his left and right, before focusing back to him. "Y-You're a fake! An imposter!" I barked at the sight, standing infront of Izuku, offering protection. "I can assure you kid I am All Might..." He choked blood, Izuku shrieked again. "You know how guys at the pool are always puffing out their chest to impress girls?" Izuku simply stared at him. "I'm like that." Izuku turned to me with fearful eyes and pointed at him. "HE DEFLATED!"

"Now- don't go telling people about this alright. I doubt anyone would believe you anyways." He turned and began heading for the door, attempting to make his leave. "Wait!" Izuku reached out.

"Even without a quirk- can I hope to someone as amazing as you?"

"Without a quirk huh..."

"No."

"The police force is a fine profession though, it pays well, there are more ways than one if you want to help people kid." Izuku froze up, I turned around to watch his reaction. "I see." Something inside me was set off. Anger? Sadness? Rage? I couldn't tell yet. I wanted to attack that scrawny fool. He will become a hero. The tears that streamed down his face made me twitch. This had to be the worst day of his life.

I growled, not even realizing it. "Miyu..." I stopped the moment he said my name, and dipped my head down as I watched All Might leave. There was an explosion in the distance right after. "A villian? I wonder what hero will show-!" He began to run but stopped in his tracks. "Oh yea." He walked slowly now, I followed his every step.
