Our Beloved Midori

Chapter 1

Hi! It's me the author! With this quarentine I've come to the conclusion that the only thing I can do is write the fanfictions I've been craving for months. So I'm gonna congeal all of my favorite tropes into one story. HawksXDeku is my my favorite ship( I'm gonna age Hawks down for the sake of my morals), but all the other ships are up for debate if you want to reccomend me some! :) I hope you enjoy!

 Quirkless. To many people that word means nothing, but to others, it has many meaning. Useless, helpless, better off dead. But to me, it only has one meaning, and that meaning is normal. To anyone else being quirkless was nothing short of a death sentence. But I've never been anyone else. To me, the only death sentence is to give up. In a world of heroes and villains, being quirkless was nothing short of a blessing.

In a world full of quirks people tend to forget the fact that being human means we all have basic traits, but quirks seem to top everything; including your ability to think on your feet. Why would one need a strategy when they can shoot unending fire? Why learn to run fast when you can fly? Why be stealthy when you can punch away your problems? That's why being quirkless is a true blessing. I may not have a glaring advantage, but my lack of disadvantages makes up for it in spades. I don't need a quirk to run fast, to throw a flashbang, or to know how to fight. I just need a brain, a body, and a strategy.

"C'mon Deku, pay attention, or I'm gonna blast you to space and back. Don't make me take back that shit I said in class, or I will throttle you,". Kacchan swung at me again, aiming an explosion for my fist, but not before I was able to grab his wrist and kick his feet out from under him. "Ha, Deku-29 Kacchan- 0," I cheered.

Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugou has always been my best friend. When we were little we used to run around planning to be the best hero duo ever. We'd be "Mighty man" and "Lord Explosion Murder". When I found out I was quirkless our friendship became a bit rocky. He thought that it meant we'd never be a hero duo, so he abandoned me. That idea eventually ended when I turned 8 and decided I was over Kacchan's attitude. So like the normal 8-year old I was I decided that if Kacchan thought I was weak I'd prove him wrong.

My mother had always encouraged to be a hero and let me take several fighting classes, dance classes, and even a few medical-aid classes. When Kacchan blew up my notes I had been writing in class I snapped and challenged him to a fight. Long story short, I kicked his ass in 2 minutes flat and earned his respect. From that day on Kacchan and I have been attached at the hip yet again. Now, half-way through our 3rd year, Kacchan has yet to beat me in a fight but always jumps to my defense when people talk bad about me.

"Alright Kacchan it's been fun, but I need to head to the cafe. Are you coming with me? I'm sure you'd be happy to have some other animal to play with, Isn't that right, Kacchan? Who's a good boy?" Kacchan ripped my hand off his head, "Knock that shit off or I'm taking your hand. I'll only go if Eri's there, I'm not dealing with Braindead and the brat,". Kacchan brushed the dirt off himself and grabbed his bag.

"You say that, but I'm 99% sure it was you who bought Kouta that hat he wanted and it's you who binge-watches RuPaul's Drag Race with Toshi every Saturday," I snickered.

"Why the hell do I put up with you? I have other options," Katsuki growled.

"Because quirkless kids who can kick your ass are just lining up to give you free coffee and sandwiches?"

"You're a bitch."

"And you're gonna get your ass kicked if your still swearing when we walk into this cafe,". I opened the cafe door and was immediately tackled by my two younger adopted siblings, while Dabi and Toshi laughed from behind the counter.

Cafe Midori is a cafe my mother Inko Midoriya started before she passed away a few years ago. My mother had always loved animals and thought that a cup of coffee was the best way to start a stressful day, so when I was declared quirkless and my father hauled ass out of Japan she decided to live out her dream and start an animal cafe. My mother was an amazing woman truly. She always picked me up when I felt I couldn't do it, she taught me how to be a hero. Many people say that when they want to be a hero like All Might, but I want to be a hero like my mother. She put a smile on everyone's faces and never left anyone behind, hence why I have 3 siblings and an unofficial older brother.

My mom found Eri and Kouta in an alley when they were just babies. We still don't know why they were left there or who their parents are, but my mother didn't hesitate to take them in, adopt them and take care of them as her own.I was actually the one who found Hitoshi, but when I told my mother that his parents had abandoned him after his quirk manifested she snatched him up and moved him in within an hour. Dabi had been the latest addition to our makeshift family, we met him when we were going for ice cream. He was burnt half to death and had just run away from home. So, like any normal person, my mother patched him up and offered him a bedroom and a job. She was a force of nature. And being a force of nature she somehow managed to convince the government that if she were to die custody of the kids and ownership of the cafe should be transferred to me. The only reason it worked was that the government didn't really care what happened to a few orphans and a random cafe. Jokes on them because this quirkless orphan was about to become the most valuable asset and scariest foe they'd ever known.

Feel free to offer me criticism or tell me any ideas you may have for the future of this fic! Thanks for reading :) 

p.s Is this short? I feel like it's a really long chapter but it looks really short on my computer 0_o
