(A/N: Can I just say holy shit thank you! We're still #1 In bakugoxdeku and I am so proud and thankful *happy sobs* Thank you everyone for reading and voting! Check out my tumblr too, I love you all!)

*This is taking place after the entrance exams and on the first day of UA Classes*

Midoriya's P.O.V

I walk into the classroom and immediately everyone gasps and turns towards me, mumbling things like "Oh wow!" and "It's him". I scan the class and see Kacchan, being scolded by a boy with blue hair, who when he sees me rushes over to greet me. Apparently, everyone was blown away at the fact that I got 70 rescue points in the entrance exam. 

After being bombarded by people for a few more seconds, a yellow slug? talks from the ground, scaring anyone that can see it. The slug sheds and reveals a human body, oh it's just a human in a sleeping bag, oof I really got scared there for a minute. Shockingly, this exhausted-looking man is our teacher, Shota Aizawa. 

Before I can even sit down we are being ushered away to change into the UA High jumpsuits, where Aizawa states we're going to be performing a test using our quirks to amp up our results. This is awful! I can't even control One For All yet! He says the person with the least amount of points will be expelled! IT WILL BE ME IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING! BUT IF I DO SOMETHING I'LL BREAK MY BONES! 

Internal panic is giving me fear, I can feel my body trembling with each test where I perform averagely. My best chance to use my quirk is throwing this ball, I roll it in my hands, mentally prepping myself to use one for all. I hear voices from behind me, one belongs to the blue-haired guy from earlier, Tenya IIda, "If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he's the one going home."

"Huh? Of course he is. He's quirkless." I hear Kacchan say. That's what he thinks is the truth...he didn't watch the video clips of my entrance exam, he was waiting for me to tell him all about it today during a break we would have had during orientation. "EH? He has a quirk! Did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?" Iida replies. "Huh?" Kacchan lets out another confused sound. I start sweating nervously.

I try to use my quirk, but suddenly I can't? Oh No! DID I LOSE ONE FOR ALL ALREADY! Was I took weak! I start panicking. I was trying to use it just now!! Mr. Aizawa replies to me, I guess I was mumbling out loud. "I erased your quirk." I whip around to face him, his scarf and his hair were floating around him and his eyes were glowing a bright red. 

"The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school." Does he know that I wasn't born with this quirk!? Is that what he means, Suddenly, I recognize the hero, it's Eraser Head. "You're not ready. You don't have control over your power. Were you planning on breaking your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?" He asks, well more like interrogates.

"No! That's not what I was trying to do!" Suddenly his scarf wraps around my waist and drags me face to face with him, terrifying. "No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle. You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend." Those red glowing eyes are beaming with anger at me, he means All Might. "But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down." 

I can feel tears in my eyes, I won't cry, not here, not now. "Sorry Midoriya, with your power, there's no way you can become a hero" I can't be a hero because I'm quirkless, I can't be a hero because it's too dangerous. All I hear is what I can't do! I've been told that all my life, DAMMIT I'LL BE A HERO, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. Mr. Aizawa releases me his hair and scarf settling back down into their natural positions, and his eyes no longer glowing or red, "I've returned your impractical quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with."

I have to work harder than anyone else to get this right and to stay here, so what am I going to do? This plan is all I've got, I'll only use my quirk when only my fingertip is on the ball, that way it's the minimal amount of damage I can take with while giving the maximum amount of power. It works! I send the ball 705.3 meters! I threw it farther than Kacchan! He threw 705.2 meters!

Kacchan! I suddenly turn towards him, he looks livid. Oh no...

We finish up the rests of our tests, each time I try to get a chance to talk to Kacchan, he's either moving on to preparing for the next test, or performing in the test, or I'm performing or panicking. I can't get to him! Our test results reveal that I am in the last place, but Mr. Aizawa reveals that nobody was going home, that he was just scaring us so we'd do our absolute best. I collapse on the ground in relief. I get to stay!

As I sit up, I almost for a split second, wish I was going home. Kacchan is storming towards me, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? HOW DID YO-" he's suddenly yanked back by Aizawa's scarf, "WHY IS YOUR DAMN SCARF SO STRONG" he reveals is a special scarf, a capturing weapon, I memorize this to write in my notes on Eraser Head later. "STAND DOWN!" Mr. Aizawa shouts at Bakugo, who stops struggling with a huff, clenching his fists, and he is released.

He stands there glowering at me into we're alone in the field, "What the hell was that!" he shouts. "Um, I, I was training all summer for this." "I'm not fucking stupid Deku, 'training' all summer doesn't just magically give you a quirk out of fucking nowhere" He yells, clenching his fists tighter, which makes me wince.

He growls out sigh, "I'm not gonna fucking hit you dammit! Now tell me the truth!" "T-truth? About what?" He growls again, grabbing me by the shirt and lifting me up to eye level, "THAT QUIRK! AND WHY YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT NOT HAVING ONE FOR SO LONG! AND WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE ACTUALLY DOING ALL SUMMER BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY WASN'T TRAINING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T EVEN USE THE QUIRK WITHOUT HURTING YOURSELF" His voice cracks during his last sentence and he sets me down, looking down at the ground, oh no, does he think...

"Kacchan! It's not like that! I was training I swear! I-" "SAVE IT! Don't fucking lie to me anymore," he wipes his eyes with the back of his wrist, "I'm done, just leave me alone, Deku" he starts walking away, still looking down, hiding behind his hair. I grab his wrist and pull him to face me, "Kacchan!" He yanks his wrist back looking up at me finally, his eyes teary, "I SAID WE'RE DONE! LEAVE ME ALONE DAMN NERD!" He screams, letting out one sob before turning around putting his hands on the top of his head, and he just lets out a frustrated scream while he's walking away.

I sink to my knees, I can't believe it. He broke up with me, I start crying now, I sniffle, for some reason it smells like burnt hair, but I ignore it. He thinks I cheated on him all summer, and hid this quirk from him for my whole life...I start sobbing even harder, I need to fix this, but I don't know how... or if I even can...
