NEVER ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER | MHA FANFIC

Ch.8:Emergency Exit Iida

Narumi's POV:

"I have to tell you both something." Izuku said. "Maybe then, you'll both understand what's been going on."

'Is he really going to explain?' I wondered as I paid close attention to Izuku, who's eyes were avoiding mine and Katsuki's. Both of us waiting to hear what the freckled boy has to say for himself.

"I wasn't hiding my quirk from either of you. It was given to me by someone else, recently-but I can't tell you who I got it from! So don't ask." He explains.

I furrow my brows in confusion.'Huh?'

'What does he mean 'given'?' Havoc questions. 'By who? God?'

"I know it sounds crazy. I know it sounds like something out of a comic book, but it's real." Izuku continues. "You see, the thing is, I don't have control over this power yet. I haven't figured out how to make it my own. But, I'm trying. That's why I didn't want to use it against you in the excersise, Kachan. But in the end, it was the only way of winning."

I look over at Katsuki when I heard the sound of him growling in frustration.

"I've still got a lot to learn. I know that." Izuku states with confidence. "That's why I am here. You'll see. I'll work until I have full control of this borrowed quirk." He lifts his emerald gaze and stares directly at Katsuki, his eyes filled with determination. "And I'll finally beat you with my own power, Kachan!"

My eyes widened after registering what Midoriya just said with his own words. 'Did Izuku just declare war with Kachan?'

And apparently, Katsuki and Izuku were shocked as well. Right after Izuku made that promise, he seemed to already be regretting it. Havoc chuckled in my head, amused by Midoriya's speech. 'Someone's gotten cocky.'

"How dumb do you think I am?" Katsuki spoke up. "Borrowed power? Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. You already made a fool out of me in that training excercise." I stood there, speechless as I watched Katsuki fight back his tears as he continued. "So, did you come to rub it in? I lost. And to make matters worse, it was to you! I came in first to the exam, but it was not enough! When I saw that Ice Guy defeat Ink Face like it was nothing, I realized I couldn't beat him in a head to head fight!"

I glared at my feet when Katsuki brought up my battle against Todoroki. 'Way to put salt in the wound, jerk.'

"Crap!" Katsuki gripped his head with his right hand. "I even agreed with what that girl said! My attack was so stupid! Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!" He yelled before clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white. "Enjoy that win, Deku. You won't get another! I'm just getting started! Got that? I'm gonna end up the No. 1 Hero, no matter what!" He proclaimed with tears leaking from his eyes. After saying this, Katsuki turned his back towards Izuku and walked off. "You'll never beat me again you bastard. Don't even try!" He threatened Izuku while wiping away his tears.

Izuku and I watched him as he left, leaving the two of us standing together at the entrance to the school.

'I never thought I'd get to witness Kachan cry in person. Especially because of Izuku. Speaking of...'

"Izuku," I turned to look at the green-haired male, who was already staring at me. Afterwards, he squealed in surprise for some odd reason but don't linger on the thought. "I understand you can't share the origins of your quirk, but can I ask why its so confidential? Are you being...threatened?"

He seemed surprised about my sudden questions but was quick to recompose himself. "I'm sorry, Nachan, but I've already told you all I can, maybe even too much to be honest." He scratched the back of his head. "If I could tell you everything, I would. But it's really not my secret to tell."
