Help? (Depressed Deku x Bakugo)

✨Chapter 4✨

(Deku's POV)

I was sitting on the swing set in the park listening to the wind, the birds chirping, cars passing , and the chatter of people. That was until I saw a dark shadow towering over me, and it was...All Might!

Why is all might here, what could he want with me? Continue to tell me how useless I am without a qurik.

But little did I know what the number hero was going to do and say next.

"

You, Izuku Midoriya can too be a hero."

"I know what I said back there and I was wrong. I had a little talk with that Kasuki kid and he told me how when you saw him trapped you didn't even hesitate to try and save him. You put your life on the line to help a friend even if it meant risking your own life."

The silence streched as the words were sinking in. I can be a hero, but how? All might had said it just earlier that someone without a quirk cannot become a hero. Was he playing some cruel joke on me? But then again, he was the symbol of peace. He wouldn't do that....would he?

Panic bubbled in my mind at the thought of these worlds being nothing but a cruel joke on me. One more way for life to bring me down.

How could someone as useless as me possibly be a hero?

My ears were beginning to ring and dark spots were forming at the edge of my vision. All night's booming voice was the only thing keeping me from having a full blown panic attack. His words cutting through the static ringing in my ears.

"My boy, my quirk has been the subject of countless interviews and questioning but I always try to redirect the media and avoid their questioning, because until this day, my quirk is one of the most guarded secrets of my life.

My quirk known as All for One, a power passed on to every new generation to the next, only to those who are worthy of wielding its power."

Wait, what?! I could only stare with wide eyes as I sat in from of the older taller hero in front of me, it didn't make any sense! Quirks were supposed to be hereditary, how could a quirk be passed down to who ever it was given to?

Ever since their appearance, not a single quirk had been passed down from one person to another. It was impossible, yet here is All Might telling me it is.

All might smiled lightly at the mumbling teenager in front of him.

"I'm going to be completely honest with you kid, I too was qurikless once until my predecessor saw potential in me and gave me this power, making me the 8th holder."

I didn't know what to think anymore, All Might, quirkless? But why was he telling me about his power?

"Wait...what are you trying to say?"

I dont want to get my hopes up, for all I know All Might just wants to ask about Kacchan and if he is worthy of such an honor because it sure wasn't plain old useless me.

"I've grown weak and old my boy, after my accident with All for One five years ago , I dont know how much time I have left as the symbol of peace before I'll be forced to retire."

"The world needs a new pillar of justice and I think that you my boy, would be the perfect candidate. I know this is sudden especially after I had told you that someone who is quirkless could never become a hero, but accepting this would mean taking on a huge responsibility and burden. But I believe that you young Midoriya will be a great hero."

How am I supposed to respond to that? How could I possibly decline such offer? Bust isn't it selfish for someone as unworthy as me to take on such a power?

I felt something wet drip on my face, suddenly I realized I was crying. I felt so overwhelmed and so happy that All Might thought someone like me was worthy of taking on such a responsibility.

I was so happy that I didn't even know hiw to respond. All I could do was cry while smiling.

After a few moments to settle myself down I finally answered with

"Thank you so much All Might, I would love to have the honor of becoming the next symbol of peace. You have no idea how much this means to me and how much this is going to change my life. I've always wanted to become a hero and now I have that chance and maybe now I can be friends again with Kacchan now that I can have a quirk and I won't be a useless Deku anymore. Now I can actually be someone in this world."

I was so happy that I didn't even realize I started mumbling on about how awsome this was and how this was going to change my life.

"Young Midoriya there is one condition that comes with this power, and that is to never tell anyone about One For All no matter what. If someone asks just say it's a super strength quirk that manifested late. If the wrong person where to find out then that could put you and others at risk and in danger."

"I understand and thank you so much All Might, you have no idea how much this means to me. I can't wait to be the next symbol of peace."

"You welcome young Midoriya but before I can give you my quirk you are gonna have to train your body because if you were to aquire this quirk now you could blow up. It's a very strong quirk. So starting next week we are gonna start training, meet me at the old trash filled beach on Monday at 5am."

--Time skip brought to you by my depression--

(Izuku's POV)

Once I returned home I was so happy and excited, yet I could still hear the voices telling me how useless I am.

Fat-

Ugly-

Quirkless-

Useless-

Stupid-

Nerd-

YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A HERO!

I start breathing heavily and I start to feel my heart pounding out if my chest. Soon I start to lose all sense of my surroundings.

A/N- someone just put my story on their reading list and it made me want  to update so some new chapters are coming out.
