"Quirkless" - Bakugo x OC - A My Hero Academia Fanfiction

Chapter 3 - I Just Want You Here

SUKI'S POV

"Mom I'm home!" I called into the quiet house as I walked in.

Mochi greeted me, rubbing on my legs and purring. I picked him up and walked into the kitchen. Ma was asleep on a barstool next to the counter, a bottle of beer on the counter in her hand. 'At least she's not in her room.' I thought to myself.

I walked over to her and shook her softly, "Ma...wake up. You should be sleeping in your bed, not here."

Ma stirred and looked at me, "What are you doing here?" She sat up and looked at me confused.

"I needed to get away from the school for a bit...so I came home for the night. You should go to bed. I'll make us something to eat, I'll wake you when it's done."

She nodded, "Good idea..."

I helped her up and walked her to her room. I sat her on her bed and she lay down and fell asleep almost instantaneously.

I left her room and went back to the kitchen. I sighed. When was she going to start taking care of me instead of the other way around??

I got some noodles out of the cabinet and decided to make some ramen. A got an assortment of other ingredients out too, such as: eggs, beef, and some vegetables.

As I was cooking the ramen I thought about something from years ago. Believe it or not...Bakugo and I got along once upon a time.

We were around 4 years old, Him, Izuku and I would go out to play in the forest and what not. Play games and admire Kacchan's strong quirk. He was...nicer back then and Izuku and I dreamed of the day we would get our quirks.

Izuku learned that he would never have a quirk and I was heartbroken for him. He was one of my bestest friends and our dream of becoming heroes together was shattered.

Katsuki started spending a lot of time with me, just the two of us. I felt so bad leaving Izuku behind but Kacchan and I would become great heroes together too.

When I wasn't getting my quirk my mom took me to the doctor. I was told there was no reason for me to not have a quirk and not to worry.

Third year of elementary school rolled around and Katsuki started to make fun of me for being "quirkless". We weren't much of friends anymore.

A tear rolled down my cheek. An amazing friendship trashed because he was better than me; because he had a quirk and I didn't. I turned off the stove and wiped my eyes. I got two bowls from the cupboard and put the ramen in them.

I wiped my eyes making sure it wasn't obvious that I had been crying. I walked into the darkness of my mom's room and over to her bed. I shook her, "Ma, wake up. Dinner is ready." She didn't move. I started to panic, "Ma!" I shook her harder, "Ma! Wake up! The food is ready..." Tears started forming in my eyes again. I covered my mouth and took steps back until I was against the wall. It was then I realized she wasn't breathing. I slid down to the floor. I put my head on my knees and started crying. I was alone...they wouldn't let Mochi in the dorms...I was an orphan now...

I looked up at Ma again. Her lifeless body lay limp among her sheets. I choked back more tears. She couldn't be dead...I couldn't go to my father, he wouldn't want me. What was I gonna do besides just stay at the UA dorms?

I left the room, put on my shoes and ran off to UA in the darkness of the city.

***

I reached the UA dorms after running for about two miles, but I wasn't done yet. I ran to Izuku's dorm and pounded on the door.
