A Hero's name

The dive of the Swan

Everyone has a different view on you. Your parents see you as innocent, friends as crackheads an so on. But what happens when you meet your other self?

Midoriya's POV

More than 80% of the population posses some uncanny quirk, unfortunately for me, I'm not part of that percentage. I was born without a quirk and while everyone discovered their quirks, the world started to leave me behind, all alone. But it was okay, becuase I had Allmight and Kacchan to protect me. I had looked up to Allmight ever since his debut in which I have watched his video countless times. Kacchan was my childhood friend, my first friend, really. That's why, I thought that he would be able to protect me. Spoiler alert: I was wrong.

Months later

"You're going to be late for your first day of school!" My mom shouted.

"Ahhh!" I said as I quickly put my bag over my shoulders and headed down the stairs.

"Atleast have some breakfast!" My mother scorned.

"I can't I'm sorry!" I checked the time on my watch. " I'm going to be late!" I said as I ran towards the door, grabbing a piece of toast as I left.

I didn't slow down until I approached a blue building but even then I was still moving pretty quickly. I had passed the entrance exams for UA, a school for heroes.

"I'm so sorry!" A girl interrupted my thoughts.

I cokced my head not fully understanding. She then pointed towards my school bag.

"Oh no!" I said as I noticed it was floating.

"Here let me help." She said as my bag returned to normal. " My name is Ururaka Occhako by the way."

I gave her a cheerful smile. "My name is Dec- I mean Izuku Midoriya."

"Nice to meet you Izuku!" She returned the cheerful smile. "By any chance, are you also in class 1A?"

"Yeah." I said before a sudden realization hit me. "I'm going to be late! I have to go, see you!"

"Late?" Ururaka stood their confused when realization also hit her. "Midoriya wait!"

By the time we had reached the classroom we were three minutes late. I looked back and noticed Ururaka hard breathing. She motioned for me to open the door. I did as I was told but used to much strength as I ended up slamming it. Damn it!

"I-im sorry I'm late." I apologized as I bowed down.

"Me too!" Ururaka said.

"Its too early for this, just take a seat. Both of you."

"Right!" We both responded.

Occhako came from behind me as she headed towards a desk, I looked around until my eyes landed on an empty one. Thank god! I headed over when the guy in front of me raised his head, I immediately stopped in my tracks. I take back my thanks, god.

The blonde also widened his eyes in realization before his face morphed into anger.

"How the hell did you get here?"

"I, um..."

"Stop waisting class time!" The teacher commanded.

I quickly got to my seat as the teacher started to explain some stuff. I drowned it out as a certain memory over came me:

"If you think you're going go have a quirk go take a swan dive off the roof!" Kacchan had said.

I had felt defeated, why did he treat me so bad? What did I ever do to him. Please tell me, so that I can fix it! Whatever I did to hurt him, I want to know. I don't ever want to hurt Kacchan again.

"You shouldn't say that, what if I actually jumped of the roof!" I had said back.

"Beats me." He said as he moved towards me and yanked the notebook from my hand before burning it up.

At this move, something overcame me. It might have been that I was angered by the waste of information I had written over the years, all burned up now. Whatever the reason I started to laugh, a phyocatic laugh.
I grabbed my school bag and quickly got the knife I had hidden.

"Fine, I guess I will jump then." I said while running away, towards the roof.

Kacchan had stood there dumbfounded, but then started to run after me. I heared as he panicked up the stairs, trying to catch up.

I sat there, in the roof swinging my legs. I sat there, without a care in the world. I sat there, knowing that the end was near. I started to cut myslef.

One cut, redone, let's get a gun!
Two cuts,lets do, I blew up! Boo-hoo!
Three cuts, free us, let us plea!
Four cuts, more cuts, it's all blurred.
Five cuts,dive off, let's say goodbye.

I stood up, my arms bleeding but I was numb to the pain. I looked back one more time, with tears in my eyes.

"The hell you doing, Deku?" Kacchan said as tears began to form in his eyes.

"I'm only doing what I've always done...I'm listening to you." I was about to jump off when I felt a hand in my arm.

"You're fuckibg insane Deku! You're not actually going to jump, are you?"

I knew it was a retorcial question.

"Isin't this what you wanted?" I asked with a sad smile.

~~~~~~~~

I was interrupted from my thoughts as Mr. Aizawa kept calling my name.

"Huh? S-sorry!" I stuttered.

"Put on you're gym clothes we're heading outside!" He said.
~~~~~~~~~

School had already ended and Kacchan didnt so much as take a glance toward me, this made me feel...sad. I was confused, why would I be sad? Maybe I've finally gotten fucking crazy. We were all crazy, really.

"Hey." I heared a gruff voice said.

I immediately turned around as I recognized that voice. How could I ever forget it?

"Kacchan!" I said with pure happyness.

He looked surprised as his eyes widened for a second but then returned to normal.

"How have you been, since the...uh...accident."

I nodded in response. I knew what he was talking about, he was referring to when I jumped of the building. I wasnt fucking joking when I said that, I meant every word.

"Why didn't you visit me?" My voice sounded sad, even to my own ears, which surprised me.

"I'm sorry, I couldnt live with the thought that I might have..."

"Killed me?" I finished for him.

"Yeah. So anyways, I just wanted to fucking say that I'm glad that you got out of your comma." 

"Thanks!" I smiled again.

"Well, I'm going to go now."

"Okay!" I cheerfully said.

"You really are weird you damn nerd."

"Huh? How so?"

"Why are you so fucking nice towards me? I made you want to take your life I-"

"Want to know a little secret?" I said with a sly smile.

"Uhh..." Kacchan said, unsure how to answer.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said with another smile. "While I was in my comma, something strange happened. That's why I had such a difficult time waking up. But it's fine for now...as long as I keep my promise."

"Promise?"

"Now that's a secret." I said as I held a fingure to my lips." Bye now!"
