     The boys snuck away from the burning building, careful to have the perfect alibis when the police questioned them. They moved in together, Izuku having killed his father as well and managing to sell basically everything, including the house. They lived together, working part time jobs and such.

     One day, Izuku came across a villain. He paid no mind to the patch of dark grey-green sludge as he walked the alley to get back home from one of his jobs. Suddenly, some sludge wrapped around his body and pulled him into itself. "You've got a nice quirk, kid," the sludge villain said. "Would be a shame if someone took that young little body of yours."

     Izuku struggled against the villain. He would not die in such a pathetic way. Body taken by a patch of sludge? Never.

He stopped struggling.

Perfect timing, All Might.

     All Might flew at the villain, yelling some sort of U.S. state smash. Izuku didn't hear what state the hero had yelled.

As All Might put the villain in old soda bottles, Izuku mustered up enough happiness and gratefulness as he could.

(A/N I'm not repeating what happens in the anime & manga, so just pretend like it already happened and excuse my laziness please ^^)

Izuku got home, exhausted despite it only being around 12:30 PM. Katsuki greeted him, yelling from across the room, "Hey Izuku! How was your day?" As he cooked some lunch. "Got attacked by a villain and saved by All Might, but other than that, I'm doing fine!" Izuku yelled back as he took his shoes off and started towards the dining room and kitchen.

They sat down, eating spicy ramen. It was absolutely delicious. Everything Kacchan made was delicious, though, so that wasn't surprising at all. When both of them were done, Izuku took up the dishes while Katsuki got ready for work. "Bye Izuku!~" Katsuki waved as he put his shoes on and grabbed the doorknob to the main entrance, twisting it a little. "Bye Kacchan," Izuku replied, waving a little.

When Izuku was done with the dishes, he sat down on the couch and turned the TV on to the news channel.

     "This is Tanza Smith and we're here live at the scene of a sludge villain who seems to have taken a hostage. The hostage appears to have red eyes and blond spiky hair and looks to be around 15. Pro Heros are trying to save the male and capture the sludge villain, but none of them have succeeded as of now. All Might has not shown up to the scene yet, but citizens believe..."

     Izuku shut off the TV and rushed out of the house, barely stopping for a moment to throw his shoes on and dash out the door, probably leaving it open but he didn't really care. This was the first time he'd felt anything like this before. Panic, he believed the feeling was called.

He rushed to the scene. That same stupid fucking villain was here, and hurting Kacchan, because Izuku hadn't been aware. He rushed up to Katsuki, finding his arms in the sludge and pulling him out. Katsuki gasped as air finally reached his lungs again, and he pulled Izuku into a tight hug, his entire body shaking. The other returned the hug, relief flooding his veins.

(A/N not even kidding my hands are shaking while writing this haha-)

All Might made it to the scene finally, capturing the villain as the other pros went up to the two boys.

"Green hair boy! You did a real heroic thing back there," one hero said.

"Blondie, you alright?" Another called.

Izuku let go of Bakugo, who did the same. Midoriya pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling overwhelmed and claustrophobic. "EVERYONE BACK OFF!" The blonde yelled, forcing the pro heros to take a few steps back using his quirk. "'Zuku, you alright?" He quieted down, putting a hand on his shoulder. "The question is, are you?" Izuku looked up at Katsuki, an expression unclear on his face. "Yeah, I'm fine," the boy spoke. "I'll be back when I'm done with work." He smiled. "Okay, see you then," Izuku replied. "Bye Izuku," Katsuki said before finding his way out of the sea of pros surrounding the two boys. Izuku left the area shortly after. On his way home, he was stopped by Toshinori in his skeleton body. "I saw what you did back there, son," Toshinori said.

(A/N I HEADCANON THAT TOSHINORI CALLS YOUNG KIDS THAT ARE CLOSE TO HIM "SON")

Mustering up all his fake happiness and admiration (I mean it's not like he didn't admire the guy, but he needed to pretend like All Might was his absolute idol), Izuku spoke. "Y-you did?" He asked, his eyes shining. "Yes I did. You did something heroic, despite me telling you that you could not be a hero without a quirk." Izuku resisted the urge to laugh. "Son, I have to ask you something. Can you keep a secret?" Toshinori looked at Izuku expectingly. "Y-yes sir!" Izuku acted extremely nervous, saluting. "Well then, my quirk's name is One for All. But that's not the secret I have to tell you."

"One for All.." Izuku repeated, in awe.

"Kid, I can pass down my quirk. I was thinking, would you like to be my successor?"

Tears welled up in Izuku's eyes. "Yes sir!!" He said, once more acting nervous. In actuality, he was resisting the urge to let out a manic laugh.

H-holy shit— This is perfect! Hhahaha! He thought to himself while starting to cry tears of joy.

"T-thank you, All Might!"

Holy shit he's stupid!~

(A/N that was a long one! Anyways, have a lovely day everyone! See you next chapter!)
