The first time his quirk activated, it was an accident. He was 6 at the time and even though the doctors had ran all sorts of tests, nobody could determine what his quirk was or if he even had one. That meant it was probably some dumb minor quirk that didn't stand out, like seeing the colour blue better in the dark or something like that. Nothing he could use to become a hero...

Which is exactly why Midoriya freaked out when his hands suddenly exploded after a quarrel with Kacchan. Apparently he had somehow ingested some of Katsuki's DNA one way or another? Could've been saliva, or maybe blood? It had been a nasty fight for a pair of 6 year olds... Well, Bakugou basically beat him up, but still. That part was quickly overshadowed by the pure joy of finally having discovered his quirk.

It allowed Izuku to use the quirks of others, but only if he had a part of their DNA inside him and only for the duration that it was inside of him. The doctors said something about the temporary transfer of one's quirk factor or something like that. So let's say he ingested some DNA, it would allow him to use their quirk as long as he was still digesting whatever he swallowed. It was kinda weird and nasty to think about the details for too long and it tended to freak others out a bit, but in the end it was still a very useful quirk! One that could be used to become a hero!

He didn't understand why his mom had been so distraught at the news. She'd made a face of pure horror and disgust and Izuku didn't know why. Later on, he'd learn that he inherited part of his quirk from his father, who left their family when he was still young. Too young to even remember what his face looked like, let alone his personality or any characteristics. Midoriya knew it was a sensitive topic for Inko to talk about, so he never brought it up again after she explained that to him.

Kacchan initially thought it was weird and didn't want anyone else using his awesome quirk. He came around once they realised that twice the quirk meant twice the explosions, twice the destruction. Yeah, they really wreaked some havoc in elementary school... No wonder their teachers were always pissed at them whenever Izuku  used his quirk at school...

But those days were behind them now and soon enough they would be applying to high school. High school! Can you believe it?! Izuku's hand trembled as he shakily wrote UA down as his first choice. He wanted to join the hero course with Kacchan and finally become what they always dreamed of being! The entrance exam was tough though... He'd need to prepare by gathering various samples so he'd have a selection of quirks to choose from when the moment came... But who should he ask..? Would they even be willing to help him out..?

"You're mumbling again, nerd," Katsuki stated, now standing next to Izuku's desk. "School has ended already if you didn't notice."

It was then that Midoriya saw the classroom was empty besides the two of them. Huh, he hadn't heard the bell ring at all... Was he really so deep in thought? It wouldn't be the first time but still...

"I'm going to the arcade with dumb and dumber over there so you're gonna have to walk home alone," Katsuki added. "Also, I thought I was your only damn quirk partner? What other useless extras do you think you're gonna ask, hah?! Don't think my quirk is enough to pass or what is it?!"

"T-that's not it Kacchan, I-I swear!" Izuku stammered.

"Tch, that's what I thought," Bakugou grinned. "Anyway, see you tomorrow nerd."

With that the ash blonde left the room, leaving Izuku alone to stuff his things inside his bag and walk home. On his way, he continued to think about the possibilities of his quirk and the UA entrance exam. Combining quirks was something he could do, but it took a lot out of him, so he had to be careful with that. Besides, Kacchan did have a point... Explosion was a really powerful and flashy quirk, so chances were high he could pass with that one alone.
