Let it burn

"You have reasons to stay alive."

Izukus pov-

I woke up this morning really excited! Today mom is taking me to the quirk doctor to see what my quirk is! I hope it's as cool as Kacchans and All Mights! I hop out of bed and run to moms room. I jump onto the bed and start to jump up and down. "Come on mom wake up, wake up, I want to go to the quirk doctor!!" Mom opens her eyes and smiles at me. "Alright Izu I'm up I'm up, how about you go get ready while I make breakfast and then we'll go." I quickly nod my head and get off the bed, running to my room and getting ready for the day, slipping on my favorite All Might shirt. I run down the stairs and into the kitchen where mom is setting breakfast out on the table. I climb up into my seat and start quickly eating my food. Mom chuckles and starts eating as well.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but Izuku here is quirk less." At those words my whole world fell apart. I looked over at mom but she just held a scowl on her face. "Thank you doctor, we'll be leaving now." Mom grabs my arm tightly and starts dragging me to the car. "Mom please stop you're hurting me!!' tears start falling and mom tosses me into the back seat of the car. We drive home in silence. When we get there mom drags me into the house and locks the door behind us. She throws me against the living room wall and walks into the kitchen. She comes out with a knife. I slowly scoot away from her but she stabs the knife through my hand, halting all my movements. I scream out in pure terror and pain. Mom then starts punching and kicking me until I pass out from pain and blood loss.

Everyday I wake up get a beating from mom, get ready for school, skip breakfast, go to school, get bullied all day by Kacchan and his friends, go home, get another beating from mom, clean the whole house, recieve a tiny dinner, get another beating, go to bed, and repeat the next day.

This is how every day went until I was eight.

One day I was just getting home from school. I opened the front door expecting a wine bottle to be thrown at me but it never came. I carefully walked into the house and looked around for mom. I walked up the stairs and to her room door. It was slightly ajar so I carefully and quietly opened the door slightly and peeked my head inside the room. What I saw would scar me for the rest of my life. Mom was hanging from the ceiling and a note lays on her nightstand. I walk over and pick up the note to read it.

Note- Dear stupid ungrateful brat I just wanted to tell you that you ruined my life by being quirk less and my death is your fault. You deserve to die so just do everyone a favor and jump off a roof.

With absolutely no love~your "mother"

After reading the note I broke down in tears. 'shes right I do deserve to die' I get up and leave the house. I walk around town and finally find a really tall building. I climb up to the top and see All Might. "All Might!" All Might turns around and smiles at the young boy. "Well hello there young boy, what can I do for you?" I start to fidget while looking at the ground. "I-i was wondering...can I still become a hero? Even without a quirk?" I look up at All Might and I regret asking. "Haha I don't think so boy, you have to have a quirk to become a hero, just give up on your dreams and kill yourself, it will make everyone happier!" And with that All Might left. I sat down on the roof of the building waiting for nightfall.

I watched the sunset in peace but now it's time to finally end all the pain and suffering so I stand up and walk to the edge of the building. I close my eyes and take a deep breath of air before opening my arms wide and leaning toward. " Don't do it!!" I freeze before I could fall and turn around toward the voice. "And why shouldn't I?" The unknown person steps forward and into the light. "Because you have reasons to stay alive." I laugh and step away from the edge. "Sorry to burst your bubble Erasure head but not everyone has reasons to stay alive, including me." Erasure head tilts his head to the side in confusion. "What about your parents?" I sit down on the ground. "Never met my Father and my Mother killed herself earlier, though I'm not upset as she was abusive." Erasure heads eyes widened as he sat down in front of me and gulped. "Friends?" I laugh. "Don't have any, everyone bullies me." He shakily inhales. "Why?" I turn and look away from him. "Because I'm quirk less." He gasps quietly and I wait for the impact of his hand against my face, or the look of disgust at my lack of a quirk, but all I got were arms wrapping me in a tight hug.

I gasp at the sudden contact and flinch. It doesn't go unnoticed by the underground hero though. Soon I melt into the hug and break down. I sob into Erasure heads chest while he cradles me in his lap as if I was a small child. Considering I'm only eight and I'm way smaller than an eight year old should be I guess you could consider me a small child. After sobbing for at least an hour my eye lids start to get heavy and I give into the darkness.
