Chapter 10:

Early morning, the sun is just starting to rise, and Izuku wakes up in his bedroom, feeling a little off.

He stretches, rubbing his eyes as the realization hits him it’s his birthday. A small smile creeps onto his face as he remembers the past birthdays spent with his friends and family.

Izuku: (softly to himself) "Today’s my birthday... I wonder if kacchan, and Todoroki have anything planned."

He gets up and walks into the kitchen, where Bakugo is sitting, drinking coffee, while Todoroki is preparing breakfast. They seem unusually quiet.

Izuku: (cheerfully) "Morning! Um... I was thinking... maybe we could do something together today? You know, since it’s my-....."

Bakugo grunts, barely looking up from his coffee.

Bakugo: (casual, almost dismissive) "Can’t. Got a lot of work today, Deku. Busy schedule, hero stuff."

Todoroki: (without looking up from the stove) "Yeah, same here. Sorry, Midoriya, I’ve got patrol and meetings lined up. Maybe another time?"

Izuku: (softly but sadness on his face) "you two.... don't remember?..."

Bakugo: "remember what?..deku?"

Izuku blinks, taken aback by their casual responses. No birthday wishes, no plans. His heart sinks a little, but he tries to brush it off.

Izuku: (forcing a smile) "Oh... Uh..nothing.....I-I’ll just... I’ll see you guys later, then."

He steps out of the kitchen, feeling a pang of sadness that they didn’t even acknowledge his birthday.

He takes a deep breath and decides to try reaching out to the others, hoping for a different response. First, he calls All Might.

Izuku: (on the phone, trying to sound upbeat) "Hey, All Might! I was wondering if you had time today? Maybe we could meet up?"

All Might: (sounding a bit rushed) "Oh, young Midoriya, I wish I could, but I’m tied up with some important meetings today. I’m so sorry! Maybe another day?"

Izuku’s heart sinks further as he forces out another smile, though it feels even weaker now.

Izuku: (quietly) "Oh... yeah, sure. No problem. Take care, All Might."

He hangs up, feeling a lump form in his throat.

He decides to text some of his other friends, hoping maybe Uraraka, Iida, or even Kirishima would remember. But one by one, they all make excuses work, hero duties, other plans.

Feeling utterly defeated, Izuku goes to sit on the couch, hugging his knees to his chest as tears well up in his eyes.

Izuku: (whispering to himself, voice breaking) "Did... did they really all forget?...Even Mom didn’t call..."

He tries to hold back his tears, but it’s too much. His birthday, a day he used to cherish, now feels empty and lonely. He wipes his face, trying not to cry too loudly.

Izuku:(quietly sobbing) "i guess...no one really remembered my birthday..."
