What Could've Been (Villain Deku Au) (discontinued)

"Izuku? Is that you?" His mother calls as he walks though the door of their apartment.

"Yeah Mom it's me" he calls out laughing lightly and removing his shoes.

"Oh thank God, where have you been?" She asks running up and hugging him tightly. Izuku smiles and hugs her back.

"Just out with some friends, we kind of lost track of time. Sorry" She pats his head and reasures him that it's fine and to try not to do it again in future.

"You really had me worried, I love you so much Izuku. If anything happened to you I-" she begins to tear up but he stops her.

"I won't do it again Mom, I love you more than anything" He let's go and talks to her for a few more minuets before exusing himself to his bedroom.

I wonder what she'd do if she found out? I know it would break her but at some point she'll find out one way or another.

He sighs dreading the day it comes out. Before long his mind wanders to that Shoto boy and what exactly he felt back there.

I'm not gay, am I? He questions himself over and over but every time that's the only conclusion he could come too. He's never likes anyone before boy or girl but he knows that these feelings aren't just something simple.

In the end he falls asleep thinking about everything that happened yesterday and what's going to happen tomorrow.

"So how are we even going to get in to UA, aren't they like really strict?" Izuku asks anyone who'll listen.

"One of the students is a double agent"  Shigaraki shrugs.

"Who is it?" He asks curiously fiddling with his fingers slightly nervous about the plan.

"I believe his name is Kaminari" Kurogiri replies still wiping glasses clean from behind the counter.

"Oh the one with the black stripe in his hair?" He nods.

"Okay time to go, you ready Deku?" Shigaraki asks as he stands up walking towards the door.

"Yeah but I have a problem" he sighs as they all get in the car, usually they would use Kurogiri's quirk, warp gate, but they decided it to be too risky.

"If it's about your quirk, or lack there of, don't worry you won't need it this time since we don't plan to attack. However we will get you one-" Izuku shakes his head no.

"I don't want one, I was born without one so I want to prove you can be just as food without a quirk. I want to find someone who can teach me how to handle combat and train me to properly use a knife" he interrupts crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in the seat.

Tomura nods and tells the younger that he can find someone to help with that and that It shouldn't be a problem.

Soon enough they arrive a couple streets away from the school and park the car. Sneakily walking through the remaining streets eventually the group makes it to the spot that they meant to meet up in.

As if on cue a guy walks out of the back exit with his hands behind his head.

"Yo" he smirks "You the new dude I've heard about?" Izuku nods in response to his question.

"The names Denki" he holds his hand out, he shakes it and tell him his name in return.

"So everyone's on lunch break now right?" Dabi asks with a monotone voice. Denki nods and they all walk into the school.

"Do what you have to but be quick, I'm going back to lunch" he smirks wandering off into the school.

Deku follows closely in awe, he had dreams of being accepted into this school ever since he could speak. It all seems so ridiculous now though.

Eventually they find what they want and start to head out when Izuku remembers something. He didn't take much notice before but after seeing Denki he finally recognises the uniform that shoto had been wearing yesterday.

So pretty boy goes to UA huh? He smirks, that means I will get to see him again.

His smirk fades into a frown as he realises that they could never work out, even if in some universe Shoto just happened to be gay or bi or anything inbetween he was training to be a hero.

And Izuku just yesterday chose his path, he chose to join the Villains. They couldn't work even if they wanted it too.

He doesn't regret joining them though. He feels happy, wanted and most importantly he feels accepted. That is something he never felt from anyone but his Mom.

When they get back to the bar everyone just kind of does their own thing when Toga suggests something.

"Hey Deku, Dabi do you guys wanna come shopping with me?" She jumps blushing with excitement.

Before Izuku can answer Dabi glares at her "No" he says coldly.

"I'll come, it's not like I've got anything to do anyway" Deku agrees grabbing his coat from the hook and phone off the counter.

She looks satisfied with Deku's answer but turns to Dabi and gives him her best puppy eyes. "Pleaseee?" She begs.

"No" he sighs.

"Come on Dabi, just go" Twice buts in trying to help the overly exited girl.

He glares again but this time gives in and agrees. "Only this once"

Toga squeals with delight and jumps, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Yay!"

For a split second Dabi gets noticeably flustered and takes a moment to push her off of him. Deku smirks at Dabi who shrugs and walks out the door, presumably to get into the car.

I've never had friends to go shopping with before He smiles.

Izuku has never had real friends before, he would always just follow Bakugo and his friends around everywhere. He didn't really care about how he was treated just that he had someone. Anyone.

Deku followed Dabi and Toga to the car absentmindedly listening to the overly exited girl ramble on about the event that is about to take place.
