This story will start off when Izuku is a small child.

This story will most certainly not be short.

And chapters will be dragged on and maybe longer than intended.

There is no specific plot or story line, so anything could happen.

Just a boy. That's what he is. A small, young boy. But this doesn't seem fair, why? Why is he the one with this awful sickness? Is this really how life is going to be for him?
Izuku was just three. Only three years old, when he started complaining of headaches, feeling sick, or his throat hurting or burning. Inko, Izuku's mother, didn't see much about it, for he probably only wanted attention that he wasn't getting.
Inko just simply had him take a gross medicine. It was just liquid Tylenol, Izuku thought it was disgusting, but he didn't complain about it, because it helped his symptoms.
After Izuku would get his medicine he would run upstairs to his All Might themed room and he would play with his All Might action figures until he was tired. Or he would watch All Might videos to entertain him while his mother and father would go to work.
Izuku didn't see his father very much, Hisashi was always working, Izuku would only sometimes see his father during dinner or right before he went to bed. And his mother would always be working so she would prepare Izukus foods in the morning and tell then that she left food for him in the fridge.
--
Izuku soon turned four and his symptoms got worse, his headaches never went away, he would always be coughing and complaining about his throat, he always felt sick and would refuse to eat, and medicine didn't help anymore.
Lucky he hasnt entered pre-kindergarden yet, but it starts in a couple months. And Izuku didn't want to go to school feeling sick all the time. But he figured he might just have too.
But that thought changed, for his mother had enough of his constant complaining and took him to the hospital where they figured out what was wrong.
But the news that was shared, wasn't very... Specific, as in: The sickness was rare, and they had no clue what it was..
--
What they did know was, his heart rate was off and irregular. His cough seem to be fatal, for when he was done coughing he would be completely breathless, like during an asthma attack. Izuku explained his headaches, how they pounded at his head, how any light would make him wince, and loud noises would make the excessive pounding worse. Seems like just a migraine, but Izuku said it was worse. But what does he know about himself? He's only four. The doctors didn't beleive the headaches were that bad, but they just gave him some pain relieving medication to help with it. But they knew his other symptoms were serious.
Soon a few weeks passed and Izuku's symptoms got worse. He was now coughing up blood and he complained his ears would ring constantly, although he could still hear pretty well, he said it was annoying and it wouldn't go away. Pre- school was starting soon and Izuku really wanted to start classes there, he was so excited to meet new people, but he could barely get out of bed.
Soon months passed and pre-school started, but Izuku was stuck in a hospital bed.
Izuku was given a mechanical collar to keep track of his irregular heartbeat. If his heart rate started to increase the blinking light would turn yellow, if it decreased or increased quickly or dangerously high or low, it would blink red, or just turn red.
Izuku lungs ended up getting so bad that he ended up with asthma, so they had given him a prescribed inhaler.
Many more months passed and Izuku was still stuck in the hospital. His mother always claimed to be busy with "work", but Izuku's father, Hisashi, would visit late at night to tuck him in and say goodnight.
Izuku's mother visited sometimes to say goodnight late at night when Hisashi couldn't. Izuku was grateful for his parents although he doesnt see them as much anymore.
After a few more weeks Izuku was soon let out. The gave him medications, he had his mechanic collar and his inhaler, the only things he wasn't allowed to do was run, or do any physical activities.
Izuku mother took him home and Izuku went up to his room to see it was exactly the same from almost 9 months ago. But the his mother came upstairs with a green backpack. Izuku bounced in excitement, he knew exactly what it was for; School.
"Calm down Izuku", Inko casually said setting the backpack by his bed
"When will I started school?!", Izuku yelled in excitement.
Inko glances at the boy and smiled softly at how excited he was. "Tomorrow morning, Now get some sleep so tomorrow can come quicker",
Izuku nodded and got into bed pulling the blankets quickly over himself, "Yes mommy..", He snuggled up into his bed that he hadn't slept in, in months. "mhhhh, its cozy..", he mumbled as he got comfortable.
Soon enough Inko kissed her sons head and told him goodnight, she then turned the light off as she left the room. Then after a few minutes of the light being off, Izuku slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
--
Once morning came, Inko went upstairs and to her son's room to wake him, she slowly opened the door and turned the lights on and walked over to his bed.
She had gently placed a hand on his head, then she ran her fingers back and through his messy green hair, "Izuku honey, time to wake up.", Izuku slowly opened his eyes then realized what was going to happen today; School!!
Izuku sat up excitedly and got out of bed. "Slow down Izuku, you're going to over exert yourself", Inko said a bit sternly, "B-But I can't wait! Im so excited!! M-Mommy can I wear anything?!", Izuku bounced up and down panting softly.
"Izuku! Calm down and sit on your bed!!", Inko yelled.
Izuku froze, he then slowly got back into his bed coughing softly he then waited patiently, "Y-Yes mommy..", Izuku mumbled.
Inko sighed, the started to speak, "No, Izuku, you cannot wear whatever you like, there is a uniform.", Izuku nodded and looked down.
"Let me go grab the uniform, Im sorry I yelled, I must have scared you Izuku.", Izuku nodded a bit but then shrugged. "It's ok mommy, it's my fault you yelled..", Inko sighed. "No baby, don't blame yourself. Now I'll be right back, please don't move from there.", She then left the room with that. Izuku nodded and waited.

When Izuku's mother came back, she had a blue shirt, with yellow trimming around the neck, and a yellow flower on the right side of the chest area, she also had black shorts that went with it.
