Hey! It's just Bromance

Chp 4 - Red strings of Fate!

Midoriya had always seen his string, how it went off far into the distance, no end in sight. If he was being honest, he was probably as intrigued by it as he was by heroes. If he ever felt bored in class, he would always try to fiddle with it, even though he couldn't physically touch the string.

Bakugou mocked him for his interest in the string, claiming that he didn't give a damn who was on the other end of the string, only wanting to be the best hero. And Midoriya could understand that, he really could...

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He doodled in his classwork, trying to think who his soulmate was.

What did they look like?

What was their quirk?

Were they quirkless like him?

Would they mind the fact he was quirkless?

It would lead him looking out the window, seeing a faint red line weaving through the streets, disappearing from sight.

I hope I find you soon.

After his meeting with All Might and his training to inherit One For All began, thoughts of his soulmate slowly started to disappear from the forefront of his mind.

I wonder what colour their hair is? Turned into I wonder how much more of the beach can I clear today?

It wasn't until the entrance exam for UA that those thoughts trickled back into his mind. He wasn't sure the cause of them, but his gut was churning, tugging towards something.

He put it to nerves.

As he stood waiting to start the practical, he felt as if the string was shorter than usual, that the person on the other end of the string was close by him. His mind jumped to let's try seek them ou-

"Let's get started!" Present Mic screeched from above, signalling the start of the exam.

It took a second for his thoughts to clear and get back focused on the exam, but that second cost him as his peers had already rushed ahead.

He had to make up for it.

It was a shaky, teary road, but he got into UA against all odds. Even his teachers agreed it must have been some sort of miracle. Midoriya couldn't tell them the true reason, no matter what.

He opened the door to the classroom and was met by the two people he really wished weren't in his class. The taller boy with glasses strutted over to him and started speaking to him, congratulating him over finding the true meaning of the exam... though he wasn't sure what Iida was meaning by that, he just did what he thought was right at the time.

He was off to correct him when Uraraka appeared beside him, glowing with glee the fact that Midoriya really did get in like they promised her. They had barely started talking before a cough interrupted them from behind.

Soon they were rushing to get to their seats before their home room teacher got to their podium. Midoriya was inches from his seat when he noticed that his string was lifting off the ground towards the end of the string.
