Izuku's Game

Game Demo

Izuku woke up and rubbed his eyes before remembering something and grinning ear to ear. It was his fourth birthday! That meant that he would get his Quirk soon! Excited, he jumped to his feet and dashed to the dining room in his pajamas.

When he made his way to the dining room, he found his mother sitting at the table sipping coffee and a plate of pancakes piled high and in front of his chair. He climbed on the stool and used it to sit on the pile of books stacked in his chair so that he could sit at the table easier.

He had just finished eating his mountain of food when there was a fast and impatient knock on the door.

"Ooh, that's probably Katsumi, her mom texted me that she'd be on over. Go let her in! It's impolite to leave a girl waiting." Inko said, chuckling as her son jumped down and ran to the door before throwing it open.

"Kacchan! What are you doing here?" He said excitedly, letting the girl in. She was a little taller than him and usually had her arms crossed in as menacing a demeanor that a four year old could have. She had blonde hair that was done into long spikes and blood red eyes.

"Tch, I'm here 'cause my mom told me to come give you this, nerd." She said grumpily, handing him a poorly-wrapped package.

"Really? That looks like you wrapped it, honey." Inko teased, making Katsumi blush and bare her teeth.

"It's not like that! Shut up!" She shouted, making Inko chuckle at the girl who didn't want to admit she cared about her son.

Meanwhile, Izuku finished opening her gift and bounced up and down in excitement when he got it open.

"Mom! It's an All Might toy!" He shouted, showing it to Inko before putting it on the table and grabbing Katsumi in a hug, crushing her in his arms.

"Hey! Let go!" She said, pushing him off of her. She was blushing pretty hard by this point, with Izuku's bright smile infecting her and making her grin as well.

"Thanks Kacchan!" He said before letting go of her and taking his plate to the kitchen. Katsumi had gotten her Quirk only days ago, getting the ability to make her hands spark with tiny explosions when she was upset. She was still working on her control, but they both knew it would be a great Quirk when she got older. He was worried she would treat him differently, but she hadn't so far.

When Izuku got back, Katsumi grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the apartment. "C'mon nerd, we're playing in the woods today."

Inko called after them to be safe as Katsumi led him to a group of other kids who were waiting on them.

"Bakugo! What took so long! We've been waiting forever!" A mutant kid with wings complained when they saw her approaching with Izuku in tow.

"Shut up!I had to go get the nerd. It's his birthday today, so nobody can be mean to him!" She demanded, walking ahead with everyone following behind her.

Izuku was following behind them all, happily walking along as they got to a fallen log that bridged over a stream.

"C'mon nerd, you can be my sidekick today." She called, spurring him to cross the makeshift bridge to where they were starting their hero game.

It went wrong when he got halfway across the log.

"W-What?" Izuku asked, only to misstep and fall off the log into the stream.

"Izuku!" Katsumi shouted, jumping off the edge of the bank and grabbing onto him, looking into his watery emerald eyes. The pair braced themselves for an impact that never came.
