"There's nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway. -Shota Aizawa
~~~(Reader P.O.V)
The years passed and eventually, I was fourteen... again. It wasn't easy being quirkless in this world. Hell, it wasn't easy living in this world. I knew as soon I got up I was entering the war zone. The harsh words of others were bullets. Some would graze me, others would hit me head-on. Sometimes, the pain would knock me down completely. I would watch with tearful eyes as the enemy would come closer to me.
Then he would come to my rescue.
Izuku would pick me back up and patch up my wounds with smiles and reassurance. I owe him so much. Yet, I couldn't help but feel guilty as I couldn't always protect him from the enemy. Bakugo and his gang were always ready to point out every little thing wrong with us. I would immediately coward away and hide behind Izuku.
'You are useless, Y/N.'
"I know."
"Huh, did you say something?"
The sweet voice of Izuku pulled me out of my depressing thoughts. He was drawn out of his rambles about the hero vs villain fight we had witnessed earlier on our way to school.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just... thinking."
He seemed to notice the lie but decided not to question any further. We continued our walk to school in silence. The bustling city around us was a good distraction from reality. Sadly enough all good things must come to an end. Soon enough we arrived at our destination.
Izuku and I looked at each other with small smiles. The look could be translated to, "We'll be ok."
The hours passed slowly until it was eventually last period. I looked towards the teacher as he began addressing the class. He held up a handful of printouts in his right hand.
"I would pass out these future job printouts, but who am I kidding? You all want to be heros right!"
The class started to whoop and show off their quirks. I shrunk back into my sit awkwardly. Bakugo shot up from his seat with a shit-eating grin. Pointing a thumb at his chest he yelled out,
"Don't group me in with the rest of these losers, teach! I'm superior!"
The class minus Izuku and I started telling him off. He continued cockily.
"I'm aiming for U.A!"
The class was filled with gasps from his exclamation.
One girl in the front of the class spoke up.
"Doesn't U.A. only have an acceptance rate of 0.2!"
"Yup and I aced the mock exams! I'll climb up the ranks and even pass All Might himself!"
The teacher decided to chime in again.
"Oh yeah, didn't you want to go to U.A. as well, Midoriya and L/N?"
Everyone turned and set their sights on Izuku and I. The said boy was staring wide eye with a beet-red face. I was in a similar position. The whole class began to erupt in laughter. The chatter of how quirkless couldn't get in was heard throughout the class.
"A-actually they got rid o-of that rule!"
"Tch, you two? Don't even try to put yourselves in the same level as me!"
Snickering filled the room as our classmates began to mock us. All I could do was look down at my lap, tears pooling over my eyelashes.
'How can future "heros" be so cruel?'
The dismissal bell ringed an hour later. I let the majority of students flood out before packing up. Once I finished I walked towards Izuku's desk where he was just finishing up gathering his things.
"Are you ready, Izu?"
He nodded and followed me to the classroom door. I was hoping if we left now the confrontation between Bakugo and Izuku wouldn't happen. However, life seemed to have other plans. Right in front of the doorway Bakugo and his gang stood cockily.
"Please just let us pass, Bakugo."
I looked down at my shoes as I muttered the plea. He laughed and pulled me up by my collar.
"Stay out of my way, piggy!"
I struggled against his hold and yelled out in protest as he threw me into the hallway. My back slammed into the wall painfully and I let out a pained yelp. I hastily pulled myself off the ground in an attempt to go back with Izuku.
Just as I managed to get up one of Bakugo's lackeys slammed the classroom door in my face. I tried to desperately open the door as my back ached and throbbed painfully. Eventually, I gave up and returned to my previous spot on the ground. I was painfully aware of what was being exchanged in the room as I recalled the episode from the anime.
Approximately five minutes passed before the door was swung open. Bakugo walked out with his gang wearing a smirk. He didn't even spare me a glance as he walked past. A second later a miserable looking Izuku stumbled out.
"Y-Y/N, I'm sorry."
Tears spilled over his eyelids as he let out a choked sob. His knees gave way and he collapsed into my plush frame. I wrapped my arms around the crying boy in front of me.
I let my own tears out as we sat in the middle of the hallway. After a few minutes, our tears had slowed until we weren't crying anymore. I looked down at Izuku who was in deep thought. Suddenly, he jumped up and stumbled into the opposite wall.
"Y/N, can you please go get my notebook? It's in the fountain."
I looked at him strangely, his eyes were cloudy and his hands were shaking.
"Wh-"
"Please."
Uneasiness set in my stomach as I got up. I nodded and began to walk towards the stairs. I began descending them until I was stopped. Down below was Bakugo and his lackeys sitting on the steps. I listened in on their...argument?
"Bakugo wasn't it a little harsh to tell him to jump? What if he does it?"
Bakugo just shrugged and said,
"He would be doing society a favor."
"B-but he said he would."
My body froze up and my eyes widened in horror.
'He didn't say that in the anime, he's going to jump!'
I turned around but was stopped as Bakugo ran up the steps and grabbed my arm. He must have heard me!
"Well, well, back for more piggy."
He squeezed tightly and cackled. I began to shake from anger. I was so sick of this shit.
"Get the fuck off me!"
I used my free hand and punched him in the face. He lost his grip and fell into his lackeys. Wasting no time I started to run as fast as I could.
'Midoriya wait for me!'
