Izuku's POV:I open my eyes to find myself on my comfortable single sized bed. The golden light of the sun shining through my half open curtains stings my eyes as I try to adjust to the atmosphere. I move into a sitting position and throw my legs off the side of the bed. My feet touch the carpeted ground as I make my way over to the window. Looking outwards, the sunrise pierces my eyes. The beautiful colors of pinks and peaches coat my cold heart. It really is a truly beautiful sight to witness before you start your day. I throw my arms in the air and stretch. It's probably best to get ready for school early. Maybe I could even have breakfast before I leave today.
I get quickly get dressed, wanting to get to school as early as possible. I walk through my wooden door and head down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen, I spot my mom making breakfast for herself and I. The wonderful scent of coffee brewing, and bacon and eggs cooking fills my lungs. This really will be a good morning. I quickly eat breakfast and grab my stuff. Saying goodbye to my mom, I'm out the door walking down the cold morning streets. The fresh, green trees wave in the wind, as the sun shines through the leaves, signalling morning with the sounds of the birds. Every step on the pavement, every person I pass by. All of it grounds me, letting me know I'm still alive... still living.
As I enter the school, I march past bodies upon bodies of students, trying to make their way to class before the second bell goes like myself. I open the door to the classroom. I feel someone glaring at me as I walk towards my desk. Who else would do that except for Katsuki Bakugou. Hates me. wants me to die. But I could never hate him for that. Besides, he's right, is he not? I'm not good enough. I'll never make it as a hero. And the normal life just isn't for me. The most I can do is try though, right? Because maybe, just maybe, I can make it.
School goes by like a breeze. So fast, yet, not fast enough. The teacher is going over where we all applied to go, saying that, of course we all applied for hero schools. He points out Kaachan. Of course he'd be applying for UA as well, he's the most competitive person I know- and definitely the most likely in this class to pass the test. Unless his big ego got in the way.
"Oh yeah, you applied for UA as well, isn't that right, Midoriya?" The teacher points out. All eyes were on me way too fast. Laughter broke out among the students.
"You? Go to a hero school? You'd die!"
"You don't even have a quirk!"
"You'd die in the test!"
"Quirkless"
"You think you can stand in the same rink as me!? Useless Deku!"
Everyone questioned my application. Everyone judged me. I expected these reactions from the others, but who cares what they think? I'm going to become the best hero.
The bell rung, being the last in the class was the worst idea with Bakugou around. He took my book, blew it up with his quirk, and sent it out the window. What a great hero he's going to make. He shoves me to the ground and tells me to withdraw my application.
"Or even better yet, why don't you just jump off a roof and die?"
What an idiot, if I had actually jumped, he would have been charged with inspiring suicide.
Walking by the fish pond, I notice my book lying in the water, fish surrounding it, sucking on it.
"That's not fish food" I say aloud, grabbing my book and walking home. On the way home I focus on the sounds around me. The wind, the sound of people talking fading as I walk further from civilization towards a tunnel. I walk through the tunnel. Slowly. Who cares what others think anyways? I'm going to find a way to become a hero weather they like it or not. Even without a quirk, I can do it!
"HAHAHAHA" I laugh in All Might's mightiest voice. Shaking my fists in the air, trying to appear big and strong to convince myself that I am.
And then I was grabbed by something slimy, the tentacles slowly suffocating me. I tried scratching the slime off of me, trying to get air. I couldn't. The slime wouldn't budge, I couldn't get a grip. Help-
"Sorry young boy, I usually don't get civilians involved in my fights!" I barely hear a voice boom as I slowly loose consciousness.
I wake up to my face being lightly tapped. "Oh good, you're awake!" I hear a voice similar to All Might's speak. Wait, All Might?
I take a closer look. It's him. It's actually him! Sign, something to sign, quick!! I look at my book and flip through, he's already signed it! "Thank you sir, this will be treasured, a family heirloom!" I yell out, bowing in glee.
"OK!" All Might says, giving me a thumbs up, preparing to leave. "I'd love to stay and chat young man but a hero's work never ends!" He says, crouching down.
"Wait! I have some questions to ask you please, I just need a few minutes!" I yell out as he gets ready to push off the ground.
"Sadly, I don't have much time! I'll see you around kid!" All Might jumps away.
And then I couldn't feel the ground. The pressure on my face from the wind was overwhelming, my cheeks bending back and flopping around, I thought my eyeballs would fall out of my head.
"Young man, let go! I have lots of work to do!" All Might tries to shake me off. "If I let go now, I'll die!" I shriek in fear. "Oh, right."
All Might takes me to a building and instructs me to go down the stairs and I'll be able to get out at the ground. He prepares to leave when I ask very quick,
"Can I be a hero like you without a quirk!?" All might doesn't answer. I look at the ground and start muttering about my life story and how all I want is to be able to help people. I look back up and shriek. All Might was gone and a skinny man in All Might's previous clothes was in front of me. No, that is actually All Might!?
All Might explains about his damage done to his body during a villain attack, and how he can only be a hero now for three hours a day.
He begins walking away to go down the stairs. Letting me know that he does not believe that I can be a hero without a quirk, and that I'd die before I got the chance to become a hero. He leaves.
Of course, I knew the answer. I knew he'd say this. So why am I crying? I KNEW THE ANSWER SO WHY AM I CRYING.
I fix myself up after a few minutes and leave the building, walking back home. I could hear a boom of a villain attack, but decided that I didn't have any reason to go see it anymore. I take my time, being extra aware of every step. Apparently I wasn't aware enough. I ended up walking out of habit to the villain scene. I can't believe myself.
I watch what's going down for a few minutes with a blank expression. Why would I care anymore anyways? I can't help. All Might himself said it. Everyone thinks it. Even I know it now. I begin to walk away, but then I see who the kid is that's caught by the slime villain. Bakugou. A slight smile rests upon my lips as I walk back home.
