Chapter 1 - Quirkless or not?

Year 20XX - 11:30 pm - Age 6

Y/N was woken suddenly by the sound of yelling downstairs, something that was a now common occurrence in this household. He could only assume he was, once again, the reasons behind his parent's argument.

Even though he was aware that his assumption was most probably correct, curiosity got the best of him which lead him to attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation. Quietly tip-toeing towards to top of the staircase, careful not to alert his parents or wake his 4 year old brother, he overhead what was being said.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH! THAT KID IS GOING TO THE DOCTORS TOMORROW TO CONFIRM HE'S QUIRKLESS" he could hear his mother yell.

"WHY SHOULD IT MATTER? YOU'VE HELD ONTO THE HOPE THAT HE'S JUST A LATE BLOOMER FOR SO LONG BUT AS SOON AS HITOSHI GOT HIS QUIRK YOU'VE CHANGED" his father retorted.

"YEA? WELL I DON'T GET THE POINT OF HAVING A CHILD THAT WON'T GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE" his mother yelled back. Y/N could feel himself at the brink of tears from that statement alone, hearing his own mother basically call him useless hit like a ton of bricks.

"A QUIRK DOESN'T DEFINE ONE'S VALUE! HE'S BRAVE AND INTELLIGENT, AND ABOVE ALL HE'S A GOOD AND CARING KID! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS" his father defended.

"AS IF! WHATEVER, IM GOING TO BED. TOMORROW WE ARE TAKING HIM TO THE DOCTORS. END. OF. DISCUSSION." his mother started to walk towards the stairs so Y/N found himself scurrying to bed, trying to control his tears from his mother's harsh words. "ALSO, IF HE TURNS OUT TO BE AS USELESS AS I EXPECT THEN I'M LEAVING AND TAKING HITOSHI WITH ME" and with that, his mother slammed the door to his parents shared bedroom.

Just as Y/N's mother said, by midday the following day, the whole family were driving towards the hospital, both parents silent while Y/N played with his hands in nervousness and Hitoshi mucked about as a toddler does.

After about 10 minutes of silence, they arrived at the hospital and walked into the waiting room. The silence was then broken by Y/N's mother playing with Hitoshi to help pass the time.

When Y/N's name was called, he could hear his father tell him reassuringly "don't worry, I'll love you no matter the outcome" as they walked in with the doctor.

In the clinic were a bunch of medical equipment which Y/N could not even begin to comprehend. "I'm going to do two tests to determine if you will have a quirk or not, if the results show that you do, then we can further test to see what the possible quirk is and an estimate as to when it'll manifest" explained the doctor, "they'll be quick and simple tests, a blood test and an x-ray"

Y/N had no choice but to comply. Starting with the blood exam, the doctor grabbed a large needle and ordered him to sit in a large, weird-looking chair. After getting comfortable, the doctor cleaned the inside of Y/N's elbow with an ethanol solution and inserted the needle, drawing out a decent quantity of blood. After removing the needle, he grabbed a plaster and covered the site.

The only positive in Y/N's mind was he got a lollipop, but was quite annoyed as he saw his younger brother get one too.

"As we wait for the lab to give a quirk-controlling cell count estimate, you'll need to follow me into the x-ray room alone so we can get an image of your foot. Please remove anything metallic you may be wearing" Y/N complied with the doctor's request and entered the x-ray room, placing his foot wherever the doctor asked, quite glad for the lack of needles.

As he came out of the room, his father engulfed the small H/C haired boy and quietly whispered "well done, you've been brave, I'm proud of you" which slightly lightened Y/N's mood.
