Legacy of The Sky

Chapter 2: Cloud Dreams

The sun blazed brightly over the bustling city, casting long shadows as it climbed higher in the sky. Today was a rare gift of pure joy and laughter. Shirakumo had planned an entire day dedicated to making memories with his younger brother, Izuku. The destination? The grand amusement park at the edge of town.

As they approached the entrance, Izuku's eyes widened in awe. The park's entrance was a vibrant explosion of colors and sounds—giant, spinning wheels, whimsical roller coasters, and cheerful music that seemed to dance on the breeze. Shirakumo, with his ever-present smile, glanced at Izuku, noticing the wide-eyed wonder on his face.

"Ready for the best day ever?" Shirakumo asked, ruffling Izuku's green hair affectionately.

Izuku nodded vigorously, his face splitting into a grin that mirrored his brother's excitement. "Absolutely!"

The day began with the classic carousel, where they picked out their favorite horses—Shirakumo choosing a majestic stallion, and Izuku, a gleaming white unicorn. Shirakumo's laughter rang out as the ride spun around, harmonizing with Izuku's joyous squeals. Each carousel turn seemed to erase the world's troubles, leaving only the magic of the moment.

They spent hours roaming the park, trying every ride they could find. The roller coasters sent their hearts racing, the spinning teacups made them dizzy with delight, and the funhouse mirrors provided endless laughter. Shirakumo was a guide and protector, always ensuring that Izuku was safe and having the time of his life. For Izuku, every experience was a cherished memory, every laugh shared with his brother a treasure.

Amidst the joy, there were quiet moments too. They sat on a park bench, sharing cotton candy and watching the parade of characters march by. Shirakumo's arm was casually draped over Izuku's shoulders, a gesture of casual camaraderie that spoke volumes about their bond.

"Hey, Izuku," Shirakumo said softly, his gaze fixed on the parade, "Do you remember the stories I used to tell you about heroes and villains?"

Izuku nodded, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "Yeah, you always made them sound so amazing. I wanted to be just like them."

Shirakumo chuckled, squeezing Izuku's shoulder. "You know, you've got the heart of a hero already. Just remember, being a hero isn't just about having a powerful Quirk. It's about being kind and doing what's right."

Izuku looked up at his brother, his admiration clear in his gaze. "I'll remember that. I want to make you proud."

The day wore on, and the sun began its slow descent toward the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. As they made their way to the Ferris wheel, the atmosphere shifted slightly. Shirakumo's usual carefree demeanor had a subtle edge of something more serious, though he kept his smile intact.

"Izuku," Shirakumo said as they waited in line, "I've got some news. I'm going to U.A. soon."

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise. "U.A.? That's where all the top heroes go to train, right?"

"That's right," Shirakumo confirmed, his voice tinged with both excitement and a hint of sadness. "I've been accepted, and it's an amazing opportunity. But it means I'll have to leave for a while."

Izuku's face fell slightly, his excitement fading into concern. "When will you come back?"

Shirakumo crouched down to Izuku's level, his smile never wavering despite the emotion in his eyes. "I don't know exactly. But I promise, I'll always come back to visit. And who knows? Maybe you'll join me at U.A. one day too."

Izuku nodded, trying to be brave but feeling a pang of sadness. "I hope so."

They rode the Ferris wheel as the sun dipped below the horizon, the city lights twinkling like stars below them. Shirakumo wrapped an arm around Izuku, pulling him close. They watched in comfortable silence as the park transformed into a sea of shimmering lights, the world beneath them a blur of magic and wonder.

As they descended, the park began to empty, the night casting a quiet spell over the once bustling grounds. Shirakumo and Izuku walked hand in hand back to the entrance, the weight of the day's impending change hanging heavy between them.

At the gate, Shirakumo crouched down once more, meeting Izuku's eyes. "Remember, no matter what happens, I'm always with you. In your heart and in your dreams."

Izuku nodded, his eyes reflecting the last rays of twilight. "I'll remember. I love you, Shirakumo."

"I love you too, Izuku," Shirakumo replied, his voice thick with emotion. "And I'm so proud of you."

A/N: Btw, UA has dorms from the beginning so students will be living on campus from the 1st Year itself. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this. I am trying to update regularly every Sunday, but no promises.
