Diamonds in the Rough *INDEFINITE HIATUS*

Bad Day

A.N- tw: if suicide jokes aren't your thing, skip the asterisked paragraph (***)

 The day was not starting off well for Midoriya Izuku. He'd stayed up way too long on a run and had woken up late, causing him to miss the train. Bakugo had already left him behind and he was jogging though the streets, empty stomach growling unhappily. Great. No time for breakfast. He sighed, racing past a convenience store just filled with delicious food items calling for him Didn't have time to pack a lunch either since mama was working extra late last night. He suppressed the urge to scream his frustration at the sky. Nearby was a rumbling explosion. He slowed down to a stop. A hero fight? Maybe this day isn't starting off so bad after all...

~~~

 The loud rumble of the crowd and fight drew Izuku closer. Who is it this time? He pulled out his notebook to have ready.

"Oh wow! A giant villain!" he cried and followed the action, trying to get as close as the police tape allowed him. He listened in to the conversations around him instinctively, trying to figure out what had happened. "I wonder who's fighting him" he asked out loud. He spotted the hero atop a train platform and mentally flipped through his hero notes before remembering. "Ah! It's Kamui Woods!!" he squealed "The up and rising popular new hero!!"

"A running commentary huh? You a fan boy or something kid?" a stranger next to him chuckled. Ah shit. I'm doing it again.

"Heh. No. sorry." He apologized and turned his attention back to the fight !!! is it?! It is!

"Take him down tree boy!" the man next to him yelled

"Here it is!" Izuku cheered "The 'Preemptive binding-"

"CANYON CANNON!!" a giant woman yelled as she sent a flying kick into the villain's face, cutting off poor Kamui's special move. Izuku and the man stood in shocked silence while journalists began snapping countless photos. Pull yourselves together. Izuku thought angrily at the reporters trying to get "certain" shots from the new hero. Poor Kamui. The forgotten hero still stood on the platform, quite upset over his stolen spotlight as the villain was put away. Izuku quickly wrote down the new information he learned.

"AnewheroNeverseenherbeforeandagientificationquirk,notthatrareandquiteusefull.whatareherlimitationscollateraldamagecostswillbehighifshedoesn'thavegoodenoughcontrol.probablynotbestforsmalltightlypackedcities.unlessshecanmanipulatehersizeatwill.ifso-"

"Taking notes kid?" the older man laughed. Midoriya flinched Fuuuuuuuuck. I was mumbling again! "You wanna be a hero too huh? Good luck!"

"Thanks!" Izuku grinned before realizing his phone was buzzing "Who the- Hello?" he answered

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT??!!!!" the loudly familiar voice screeched through the speaker, to the point that the green haired boy had to hold it away from his ear. The stranger and others stared at the phone in shock. You're embarrassing me Kacchan!! The tiny voice kept going "I SWEAR TO GOD DEKU! IF YOU'RE LATE ONE MORE TIME BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO GO WATCH A FIGHT IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!! YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE BELL RINGS!!!"

"Crap!" Midoriya yelped and stuffed his notebook away "Be there in a bit!" he promised before hanging up and pushing his way out of the crowd, booking it all the way to school and sliding into class seconds before homeroom started. Bakugo angrily jabbed his side as Izuku walked by his desk.

"Bitch. The fuck were you?" he hissed

"Sorry Kacchan" he murmured "woke up late, didn't get breakfast, missed the train *shrug* the usual" He went over to his desk and plopped down exhaustedly. This was not a good way to start his day.
