The Quirk Inside

one

Prologue

The girl in front ran ahead, stopping to catch her breath. Staring beyond what she could see ..

"Hurry up Kiri, I want to meet our new classmates" Y/N shouted with joy, watching the spiky red-haired male walk slowly with his hand in his pants pockets.

Kirishima sighed. "Gee Y/N you need to calm down a bit"

"Shut up you know I haven't been able to get out in so long. Being homeschooled for 9 years is a pain in the ass, boring too. I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE THIS STUFF. Plus you have a new hair style and everything I so want everyone to see the new you"

"Y/N, It's not all that exciting, you're just mad that we had to keep you in the house because you can't control your quirk according to Mom."

"Mom this, Mom that, I can control it."

"You suree? Just yesterday I heard you shout "I can't do this!"" Kirishima asked with a petty smile.

"Okay, so what if I have SOME problem with it."

"It means if you go crazy at school I'm not the one being sent home and being home schooled for the rest of her life" Kirishima shrugged as he started walking toward the entrance.

You clenched your fists and stomped toward the boy following in his path, thus hearing a sound from behind making you stop. You tugged on the back of Kiri's uniform jacket. "Who's that?" Y/N said looking over her shoulder, causing Kirishima to turn around. "What's with that hair?" A pink skinned girl asked looking straight at Kirishima. "Trying to look good for highschool?!" You've got horns! Like me!"

"Yeah! Don't tease me about it." Kirishima exclaimed. "I won't regret anything anymore!"

"For you, what happened that day was tough, huh?"

"So what?" Kirishima scoffed.

"Once you get over it completely within yourself, let me know, okay?" The girl said said putting a finger to her mouth.

"Thanks." He said before turning around to continue walking.

"And who's that? Is that your sister you were talking about? She's so cute!" She curiously asked. "I'm Mine, it's nice to meet you!"

Kiri turned back around. "Yeah, so be nice to her for me." He said smiling and again, continued walking toward the entrance. You gave her a smile and ran up just behind him.

You remember Kiri telling you about that day. You felt really bad when he came home that day.
—————
The fromt door open finally opened. "Kiri!!" You shouted as usual waiting at the end of the hall of the house entrance. You always waited for Kiri to get home so he can help you with your homework and then watch Crimson Riot's saves together.

You saw Kirishima staring at the floor. Just standing still. His eyes were a bit puffy and he really seemed upset.

"Kiri?" You asked softly.

You've never seen him in this sort of state.
You always knew him to be coming home smiling everyday shouting how "manly" his day went.

"Hey Y/N." He said taking off his shoes, walking straight to his room.

You grew up not being much of an affectionate person.

The fear of hurting someone from your physical touch ever since your past always roamed around your head. Therefore, you didn't know how to help him in that sort of situation, but you could tell he was off.

Instead of going inside his room you just sat outside, leaning up against his door. Finally, you let out a sigh and knocked, slowly opening the door you saw him crying. Crippling up papers and throwing them away.

"Kiri .." You said softly.

He quickly turned to look at you and just stared at you.

His eyes were wide open and red.

His cheeks sat with dried up tears.

He seemed scared, even hopeless, you felt bad.

You slowly walked up to him holding out your arms. You were still scared of hurting him, you didn't want him to feel worst but before you could get any closer he ran into your arms, bending his head down to your shoulder and started crying deeply.

You stroked the back of his head, asking what happened.
—————
"You know, that situation of yours wasn't even all that bad. Anyone would've been scared in the mo-" You turned to kirishima, seeing he was silent and staring at the floor, probably replaying the scene in his head. "Sorry, I'll stop."

"No it's okay, It'd be so unmanly of me to get upset over it again."

Thus you two continued walking, embracing the building in front of you. UA High school.
—————
I hid in the corner, staring at the massacre I caused. Hearing faint screams in the distance of the fire surrounding me.

"Y/N" I heard.

"Y/N are you there!" I heard again.

I couldn't .. do anything. I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream. I couldn't even see my own parents in that moment. "Mom .. Dad .." I cried out softly.

A hand came within the fire, I took it thinking it was my parents. It pulled me out, I couldn't see their face. I couldn't make out who took me, who grabbed ny hand risking their life for me, who left my parents in that fire. The fire I caused ..
—————
"Eijirou, I want you to meet Y/N"

The black haired boy exited his room, meeting with a (h/c) haired girl, hiding behind his mother. The girl was a bit shorter than him. Holding the Mom's pantleg, looking really confused and scared, as if this was her first time meeting someone.

"Y/N, this is Eijirou Kirishima. He'll be taking care of you, he'll be your big brother. Your bestfriend."

Y/N slowly came out from behind the mother. She hesitantly held out her hand, shaking. "I-I'm Y/N.." She let out with a soft voice.

Eijirou let out his hand making sure not to activate his quirk, shaking her hand. He didn't really know what to think at first.

His mind started to wander with questions: "Who was she" .. "why was she so afraid?" "why is she here?"

There was so many questions he had but none seemed to be answered in that little moment he had with her before his mom took her to the kitchen to eat.

He just wanted to know what was wrong, if there was something he could've done to help. After all, she was going to be someone he'd have to be close with. To protect.
