IM Not You!

Chapter 2

Izuku's POV

Its been a few months since I encounter Dabi and a few months since I supplied for a weapon shop. The owner was kind enough to handle most of the transaction which make it safer for me. The only customer who knew me as supplier are the shop owner and Dabi so I'm still safe from anything dangerous for now.

Dabi was my only client that I have a meet up face-to-face since its easy to talk to him. Sometimes his purchases are little bit over the top but other than he's a pretty cool guy. There are time we just meet to hang out. We become friends and for the first time in awhile I have a friend who I can have a normal conversation.

Right now is one of those times. I'm waiting for him in a newly opened sweet shop. I love sweets. I have a bit of a sweet tooth while Dabi isn't a big fan of it. However, I convince him to come since the online reviews said they have amazing coffee so I used it against him. Dabi loves coffee and since its my treat, he agreed.

 The door opened as the little bell ring. Dabi as always wear his long black jacket and not hiding his face. As soon as he saw me, he approach me and sat across me.

"Its nice for you to show up on time Dabi" I teased.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have anything else to do today plus this time its your treat. I also have something to ask you"

"Its unusual for you to ask me something since most of the time you just demand or find information on your own"

A waitress asked for our order with a smile. Dabi ordered two coffee while mine are two shortcake and some black tea.

"How or rather why did you became a weapon supplier? Don't you have parents or something? Why do you need money for?" he asked seriously while our waitress place the food we ordered carefully.

I took a small sip from my tea while looking outside the window. I looked at him and answered, "I do have parents but they are hardly around and when they, are we hardly talk. They are always busy with work since I was five. I kinda just gave up on them. There just wasn't any connection with us other than blood and family name. I learned to be by myself. I don't have any friend other than you and my childhood friend turn into my everyday bully."

He's quiet but listening to every detail. "I need the money to start my own life. Its lonely coming home to a big empty house. Its kinda sad to be reminded that your family isnt there for most of the holidays. Birthday, Christmas, New Year and other, you celebrate by yourself. That's why its better, much better, to be alone and be reminded. Just myself and not depend on anyone." I said as I closed my eyes and remember.

His eyes widen a bit and looked away. "That's a bit of a story and I get it." He then told me this story and what he really is. A villain. At first its a bit scary and shocking but after gaining his background, I kinda understand. His choices he have to make and the price he have to pay.

 "Your okay talking to a villain after everything I told you?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm okay with it. It doesn't mean I cant be friends with you. Plus, its doesnt mean that's everything about you. I don't have any right to judge you. We all have our problem and we deal with it differently."

He smiled and laugh a bit. "I want to make a promise with you."

"A promise? What kind?" I asked.

"I want to promise you that we'll have each others back. I support you and you support me. I wont involve you in anything dangerous. I kinda see you as a younger brother believe me. Your one of the people I treat as family and this family will stick together." he reach up his hand with a smile.

"I promise you Dabi. No matter what may happen you'll have my support big brother." I shake his hand.

"Toya. My real name is Toya Todoroki." he told me.

"Wait as in Todoroki, Todoroki? Endeavor's son?"

"Yeah but I want nothing to do with him" he answered with a bit of bitterness.

"I understand Toya. Izuku Yagi is my real name. You can call me Izuku."

 We continue to talk for a bit more about ourselves. Our interest or what we do on our spare time and our quirks. He was surprise about my quirks but satisfy in the end.

After a few more hours we went our separate way home. As I got home in my room, I started to think about my life. If given other choices will I be willing to be a villain or be a hero I used to dream be. Right now, I don't know anymore really. Choosing your fate is a pain to think about. There's always gonna be something happening. However, having someone there to support you is kinda assuring to know. I'll take it step by step since as of now I cant really decide yet. But I'll just wait what will happen and deal with it.
