Not the CONFESSION you'd expect

Chapter 2: Friends

Friends

Izuku stuffed his hands into his pockets as he strolled towards his school. His favorite red platformers crunching the Autumn leaves scattered across the pavement. Although the streets were quiet enough to carry sound from the distant school-grounds, his mind was a complete mess. Thoughts about what people are going to say to him, what Kacchan has in-store for him, and how people will find out about his quirk.

Last night Izuku had stayed awake in order to figure out what his new quirk can do. He spent ages doing everything he could think of. The results were that he could teleport small distances, make thinks go through himself and see through about four walls. The effects that this quirk has are these coloured lines that look like a computer glitch. He also found out that he needs a lot of sleep to use it, resulting in him passing out after looking in the fridge from his bedroom.

He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts with the sound of Kacchan yelling at him. "DEKU! WHAT... THE... FUCK... ARE YOU DOING HERE!? I thought you died!" Izuku calmly turned around. He knew what was going to happen to him so he just started blankly at his bully, not giving a damn.

"Sorry to disappoint you Kacchan." He watched Kacchan flare up and sparks leave his clenched fists. Katsuki's right hand suddenly went up and behind him. But Izuku already prepared himself. As Katsuki's fist hit Izuku's face, Izuku let the fist pass through. The surprise written across Katsuki's face was something that Izuku swore he would never forget.

Izuku kept walking past his bully until the frozen first was completely out of his head. Kacchan bored his eyes into the back of his head. Deku stopped and turned his head so he could lock eyes with the blond.

"I guess you were right, Kacchan. I did get a quirk in the afterlife."

The school day ended with only a few glares and threats from other students but with Izuku's sudden new confidence, they were nothing he couldn't handle. He had a friend to catch up with this afternoon. "IZUKU!" Said boy looked to the right of the school gate to see Tomura and Kurogiri standing there, waiting patiently for him to arrive.

"You guys actually came!" Izuku ran over to his friend.

"Yeah, of course we did! We can play so many games on my console all afternoon, plus you can show me your new quirk!" Tomura seemed to have calmed down since yesterday, although the idea of him talking to someone other than Kurogiri was a little too exciting. Kurogiri placed a hand on the shoulder of Izuku's first real friend before addressing him.

"Midoriya, I highly suggest that you enjoy as much of this afternoon as you can as training will begin tomorrow." The day was Friday, so it only seemed logical to start when they had a full day to themselves.

Izuku looked up him wide-eyed. "Awesome! I can't wait to be stro-"

"WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?" Katsuki yelled as he aimed his hands at Izuku's head.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Tomura muttered just loud enough for Katsuki to hear. The blue-haired boy had just pieced together who 'Kacchan' might be, and was now getting pissed off. His eyes darkened and his fingers extended, ready to erase this piece-of-shit hero-wannabe.

"And who the fuck do you think you are?" Katsuki snapped his head around to face Tomura. Izuku saw this as the perfect opportunity to strike. While Kacchan was distracted, the greenette teleported out of the blond's grip and around behind him before pinning him to the ground. "WhaT the FUCK deKU!" Katsuki tried to scream but was slightly muffled by the floor his head was pressed against. After a while, students who used to team up against Izuku started to crowd around the scene, laugh, and even go as far as to pat Izuku on the back. Katsuki silently lay face-down in the ground, listening to everything that was happening.

"Let's go young man." Kurogiri put his hand on Izuku's shoulder and led him away from the school. Izuku asked Kurogiri if they could teleport again but Kurogiri said he needed to show the young boy where to go for future reference.

They arrived at the bar, Izuku still taking notes on the direction to get there, and as soon as Tomura turned his console on the television in the corner flickered to life. Good afternoon, young Midoria. I am sorry for interrupting your peaceful afternoon but I do need to inform you on what you have to do tomorrow. You will be cleaning up Dagobah Beach along with one of my associates. It starts at three-thirty so don't be late! After 9 months of cleaning, training and sparring, you will enter UA high as my spy. That is all."

Izuku couldn't contain his excitement. "Yes master!" Even though I'm going as a spy, it's UA! Finally my dreams are coming true! Although too bad I cannot be a hero, at least I can pretend I'm one for a short while.

The rest of that afternoon involved some tense SuperSmash, MarioKart, Kurogiri's homemade snacks and quirk practice. Tomura was blown away at how fast Izuku could spot flaws and advantages in his quirk. At least today was better than normal, Tomura thought. I probably won't be seeing Izuku for a long while after this, but by then both of us would have already been exposed to the reality of this organisation and he would have understood what we stand for.

The kids at school began to respect Izuku now that he has a quirk. Life in a day had become a lot easier now that he could study without constant mutterings. Katsuki hadn't spoken to him since which makes Izuku look forward to the next days to come. After only one day of school since knocking Kacchan to the ground, everything has gotten better. The only thing Izuku is scared of now is what type of training he would have to do this afternoon. He knew Dagobah Beach was full of dumped trash so his best guess was I'm probably cleaning the beach to get my body into shape.

The end-bell rang and Izuku sprinted out of the gates in order to avoid Kacchan. He even used his short-ranged teleportation to gain the extra distance between him and the school. School finished at three in the afternoon, but he made it to the beach in the same time as it takes a car to drive there, 10 minutes. Training was only supposed to start at three thirty but better early than late. He looked around until he saw a figure with black spiky hair, stitches and scars covering his body. Guessing this was the right person, he approached him. "Are you Dabi?"

Said person turned to look at Izuku. "Why yes I am. You must be Izuku?" He held out a hand.

Izuku shook his hand. "Yes I a-" Before he could finish talking, Dabi twisted his wrist sharply, causing Izuku to be knocked to the side and face-plant into the sand.

"Weak..." Dabi muttered. "But no matter, that's why I'm here to help!" Dabi then proceeded to explain how Izuku would be clearing this entire beach of rubbish, which didn't surprise him. I knew it. Dabi informed him that they would also practice both offensive and defensive techniques in order to help his new high-powered quirk work with his body. This is gonna be one hell of a long year...

I must say, what a drastic turn of events...

*NOTE* Apologies for Tomura's behavior last chapter. Kurogiri and I are still struggling to contain him after getting a friend for the first time...
