Smoke and Mirrors

Chapter 1- Sandman

Katsuki is a child of dominance. Proud, brave and prideful, a smile that emits superiority in a grip of iron. But at night he kneels next to his bed stares at the stars and prays.

Sandman, I want to meet a boy, a beautiful boy, a boy that is not like the others. Someone strong and courageous, someone I can be with.

Between his prideful smile and that vicious growl lies a sad and lonely child that yearns for comfort outside from just his family. He wants someone who can hold him, whisper sweet-tasting words that he will forever willingly hear. Someone who can tell him that he can rest, that he can finally release all the shackles that forced him to fit in this super society. One who could say that "Everything will be okay".

So he lays in bed and drifts to the promises that his dreams hold.

"Oi, brat wake up!", He sat up at the sounds of his screaming mom, accompanied by screeching tires. Wait, tires?

He rushes out of bed swirling back to life. He reaches in front of his window and saw trucks, specifically those used for moving stuff, and some were those used in the military.

How odd.

"Oi!", Right he has to deal with this first. Why does he have to wake so early?

"Shut up old hag!", He screams, like he does normally on a daily basis. But today was Saturday, so clearly it's not about school. "Have some respect you-" and there she goes, babbling about how he was alive because of her or something. "Get dressed, were meeting our new neighbors, and don't scare them away this time!" Yeah, like the last 5 times right, he only did that because they were boring. That, and they hate his guts as much as he hates theirs. He goes to shower and does what every grumpy and possibly psychotic child does in the morning.

Finally he goes down stairs wearing long sleeved black shirt under a white one with an x written on it, accompanied with his brown shorts. His mom tried to tame his explosive blond hairstyle - whilst he glared at her- but ultimately gives up. His mom, dad and him went out and headed to their new neighbors, who were currently busy talking to one of the suited men. "Yes... I know... Then tell your men to... I understand but..", both adults argue a bit.

Besides the men in black, there were two green-haired and freckled people. One being the lady talking to the suited man and one being the kid who was arguably taller and older than him. He looked rather calm and collected, considering that everything around them was unusual. From the moving thing to the whole military trucks and men. Katsuki also noticed that the kid was writing in his journal rather than listening to the conversation that rang on around him.

Strange.

The lady wore dress shirt and office skirt, green and white respectively. She looks fitting to be an attorney and had a sense of authority no matter how unnoticeable to others it is. He stares at the kid and he was wearing dark green sweater and ivory shorts accompanied by red framed glasses. His bespectacled eyes glint with subtle treats, as if the kid could breakdown every little information about you with just one glance, planning ways to dispose you at any given second. And with Katsuki, he wouldn't even doubt it. He learned that everyone isn't just what they seem, that this kid can easily take him down without even trying, and that intrigued him.

So he made it his own personal mission to befriend the seemingly terrifying child (not that he'd ever admit it).

He casts his usual arrogant smile and sharps his eyes. Stalking up to the new kid that's gonna be his new neighbor, and possibly his new friend. Once he was Infront of him, Katsuki did what any other prideful brat would do.

He poked him in the chest.

"Hey! I'm Bakugou Katsuki, and I'm gonna be a hero! What's your name?", Although he poke the older kid offensively, all he received was a very and I mean VERY confused look. And Katsuki's mom had a huge urge to slap both her son and herself for the most bluntly weird first impression thanks to her idiotic boy.

The greenette's mother was equally confused as her son was that she stopped discussing with the man before she continued with her chat. But all seems well when the boy slowly but surely took interest with the blond child, he closed his notebook, his emerald eyes pierced through red orbs. " I'm Midoriya Izuku and I will to be a chemist" he spoke blank and firm, completely sure of what he would achieve, no doubts or second thoughts just pure confidence. If Katsuki was intrigued before, he is certainly interested by now.

He just need to hook Midoriya's interest as well.
