IZUKU POV

ST. These letters have been engraved on my skin since I was born. Whoever this "ST" was, I needed them now. The years of bullying and years of absent father have taken its toll on me, I need someone to save me. Today I start my first day at UA and I know Kacchan will be there meaning I'll get endless torture.
Guess I'll just have to deal with it, after all, this is the school of my dreams. Can't let all Might down now.
TIME SKIP

I walked into class 1-A. There were 19 students there.
I thought there were 20?
Sitting on the desk talking to a guy with extremely spiky red hair, was Bakugo Katsuki, my childhood bully.
"Hey you damn nerd what the fuck are you doing here?" Here we go...
"I-I g-got into UA, just like you Kacchan..."
"Tch, what does a quirkless Deku have to do to get in? I'm curious because if I were on the staff, I'd never let someone as useless as you get in here."

Wow, that hurt. Guess I'll add that to the ever growing list of crude things Kacchan has ever told me. Instead of answering I just walked over to a seat.
"Hey I was talingnto you deku!"
The red head spoke up.
"Hey man don't be so aggressive! Chill down I got this," he said.
"Tsk, whatever shitty hair." And with that, Bakugo walked away and red head walked up to me.

"Hey man, sorry for grumpy pants over there, I'm Ejiro Kirashima." He flashed a bright smile. Good to see not all of Kacchan's friends are assholes. I genuinely smiled back.
"I'm Izuku Midoriya." Before I could say any more a giant yellow caterpillar scrunched it's way to the door then stood up.
"I'm Mr. Aisawa, also known as E-"
"Eraser Head!" I couldn't help myself, I'm such a sucker for heroes.
"Tsk, nerd," I heard Kacchan say under his breath.
"Yes, and I'll be your homeroom teacher."
TIME SKIP TO AFTER CLASS

When I was walking out I noticed something. Bakugo's soulmate imprint that once read EK was now gone. Could it be.... no. Way. It must have been Ejiro!

I ran up to Kacchan to tell him.
"Kacchan! Kacchan!"
"What you damn nerd?!"
"Look at your wrist, EK Is gone, it must have been Kirishima!"
He looked down and realized I was right. I felt a pain in my face. I had been punched. He shoved me against the wall.
"I'm not fucking gay. It could be anyone in this damn school! How dare you insult me like that you piece of shit! I bet you'll never find your soulmate or maybe he won't even want you!" Tears threatened to leave my eyes. He is probably right, who would want a pathetic crybaby like me?

"You're right Kacchan... nobody wants me..."
"Finally you realize." With that he walked away. I sighed and got up off the floor.

I walked over to the bathroom and pulled out the pair of scissors I always brought with me.
Damn you Kacchan look what you're making me do.

I made one cut. Then two. Then an idea hit me: I should just jump. My soulmate wouldn't want me, no matter how "meant to be" we are. "ST" would be better without me. I walked up to the roof and looked over the city. I saw kids walking across the street with their friends and boys chatting with their fathers which only pained me. Not only did I have no friends, but I have no father to confide in.
I should probably write a letter for Mom. I sat down and grabbed some paper and a pencil then started writing.

'Dear Mom,
I'm so sorry. I know you've always tried your best and that you love me, but I don't love myself. I'm a bullied crybaby who's soulmate will never want them. I lost a father and although you try your best, he is still missing and I know he left because I couldn't make him happy. I'm so sorry, I love you.'

I put the letter in my hands and was about to fall when I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a boy with half white and half red hair run to me.
"Don't do it!" He shouted at me as he continued to run. I stepped off before he could get me, or so I thought. He had me hanging onto his hand as I was dangling from the roof. Because I didn't want him to fall too and make yet another thing my fault I tried to get back up.

SHOTO POV

"Shoto get up now. SHOTO," my father was disturbing my sleep, how like him.
"Shoto you need to train before school."
"And what if I said no?" I'm tired of this training shit.
"Then you'd have to be punished yet again."
"I'd rather be punished than do yet another training session," I said in my monotone voice. Suddenly I was dragged out of bed by my shirt.
"You will obey me!"
"Sorry but no."
That comment earned me a punch to the face. I would not give him the satisfaction of me showing pain. He kicked me and beat me until I had blood running down my face from various cuts. 
"Happy now old man?"
"No."
"Well that's nothing new." Suddenly the world went black, he had knocked me out.
TIME SKIP
I was supposed to go to school today but how could I looking like this? I couldn't. So I made myself presentable and walked to school to give my poor teacher an excuse.

I reached the school and opened the doors to find a caterpillar grading work.
"Excuse me? Sir I'm a student here to clear an absence." He looked towards me with a look much similar to my normal expressionless one.
"Oh you must be Todoroki, let me guess, you slept in like a normal teenager?"
"Actually no... I um, am sick and I didn't want to infect the other students." That was a Croat excuse.
"Then what the hell are you doing around me? You're excused now go," he said tiredly.

That went better than expected. I don't want to go home and see that bastard. There's only one way I could avoid him forever, and that would be to die. Tsk, God how he would hate me for that. His masterpiece dead on the floor, I can imagine that disappointed face.
That's what I'll do, jump.

I walked up to the roof preparing to jump. I opened the door to see someone had beat me here. I can't let someone else die in my place. I run towards him telling him not to jump.

I caught him and had him dangling over the roof. I helped him back up and studied his face.
He had beautiful emerald orbs filled with tears and fluffy green hair. Right under his eyes were these adorable little freckles dusting his face which I loved so much I almost smiled. He had such childish features it made me want to smile. 
"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Why did you do that? Why? Why would you save someone you don't even know?"
"Because I wouldn't let someone kill them self, I would be able to live knowing I'd let that happen."
I said that even though I know that now I feel obligated to protect this small boy. I heard him gasp.
"What's wrong?"
"M-my tattoo... it's gone..." he trailed off.
"That's good isn't it? When did you lose it?" He looked up at me and in his eyes I saw so many things: doubt, worry, joy, and a lot of questions.
"Right now... I'm Izuku Midoriya and I think you're my Soulmate..."
