bitter taste - bnha

3

Months had passed since the hospital accident, getting painfully close to the UA trails.

Shigaraki didn't want him to meet his father just in case his father didn't feel sorry for Inko, speaking of his beloved mother - she stopped drinking the bitter tasting drinks with the help of a tall, blonde man Izuku brought home because he was coughing blood. Dabi convinced him to go to UA for the general education class instead of the disgusting hero course or the intriguing support course because then he'll be under the radar of the teachers.

The day had arrived, it had consisted of Izuku saying goodbye to his mom and Yagi, quickly going to UA for the general studies test and that test only, writing down whatever his too quick of a mind produced and finishing the test earlier than most before handing it up and leaving the small UA classroom.

Izuku noticed Principle Nezu watching him with Eraserhead as he started to leave, "Are you not staying for the Hero Course or Support Course?" Nezu asked, "Why would I? Hero Course is suicide for someone quirkless, and for Support, let's just say I'm not the best inventor" Izuku admitted bluntly to the duo who stared at him curiously, "Bye Mr Nezu, Mr Eraserhead" Izuku grinned at the shock on their faces as what he called the tired man registered to them, quickly leaving them dumbstruck before continuing their otherwise boring day with their minds drifting back to the green haired, dull eyed boy.

Izuku continued his day by going home and analysing heroes, anti heroes, vigilantes and villains alike, quickly growing a fascination to Stain's misplaced and jumbled actions with his righteous words and Ingenium's righteous selflessness and courages words, quickly his attention was brought to Deadpool, the Merc with the mouth and his deranged ways until he landed on Batman, a quirkless superhero who uses gadgets, someone against and with the law - someone Izuku can sympathize and relate with.

Izuku studied more and more people, loving the insanity of the quirkless Joker and the respect to the quirkless and smart Lex Luthor, not caring for Bruce Wayne but respecting his adopted children instead of the bachelor himself.

Izuku waited and waited until his mom got home from her new job at a care home and Yagi got home from his at a school, which Izuku thought was slightly suspicious since he was sure only UA was opened today.

Izuku yawned as he sat down for dinner with his mother and the newly arrived Yagi, replaying Shigaraki's and Dabi's offer in his mind,

"You can join us if that hero school gets too much, don't worry Zuku, we'll always be behind you"
