Izuku POV:
As a kid, I was often bullied because of my green, gravity defying hair. It was common knowledge that only boys had unique hair like mine. For a girl to have it, it was freaky, and not in a good way.
It started when I was about 4 years old. As the boys and girls in my class got older in became more noticeable that many the boys, like Kacchan, had odd, spiky, poof-y, colorful hair, while the girls always had simple and average locks. I was the odd ball. I was a curly green-haired, "quirkless" girl. The freak of the class.
Next came the bullying. It started out tame. Kacchan and his friends would exclude me from a lot of activies, like tadpole fishing or stone-skipping, but that was when they would let me tag along. It was around the age of 5 when he began ridiculing me for being "quirkless". He started really using the name Deku, as an insult. He'd called me that before in terms of a "cute nivkname", but he became more brutal.
I remember when he used his explosive power on another kid for trying to help him when he tripped on the playground. I don't know what on Earth I was thinking, but I rushed in. I looked into his eyes and when I saw them, I could feel every single cell of my body shudder with utter terror. He looked like a murderer. Like a villain who would kill to get whatever he desired.
I wanted to stay out of danger, away from those maddening eyes, as much as possible, so since that day I dressed like a boy and lied about my gender. Give him one less reason to pick on me, you know. Boys often have weird hair.
I learned to cower. To freeze up and shake at the sight of him. Never able to look him in the eye. I cowered at the sight of his palms, aimed at my face. But even so, I'd always felt this twisted affection towards him. It was pitiful to say the least.
I was a scared child. Incapable and useless. Just like the name he had given me. But I want that to end. And soon I will make it.
But little did I know that the boy I felt such affection for would unravel me, change me, morph me and one day return such feelings back to me. That something beautiful would bloom and blossom out of all this horror and torment. We would make it in this world together, and this is our story.
