On my way

Deku

I led him into an alleyway and climbed a ladder. Slipping onto the roof of a building I smirked, taking my hood off. I put my hair into a ponytail as Izuku takes his mask and hood off as well. "Race you" I say, he smirks "your on". I dash forward and he follows after. I'm in the lead before he passes me with ease, he was quite fast. We jumped onto the next roof but when we landed, side by side, we tripped each other. He shifted our position before we hit the ground, I ended up on top of him. Blushing I glared down at him "y-you did that on purpose!" I accuse. He laughs with a smirk "yes. Yes I did" he said, continuing to laugh.

Soon I joined in. I hadn't laughed in so long, and it felt good. I stood and helped him up. A cocky grin on his face. I punched him in the shoulder and he laughed again "that's for making a move on me in pure daylight" I say, walking along the edge of the roof. He followed after me. For a while we exchanged stories, opinions, and other things. Just small talk as we walked. "You were fast back there...i know you were born quirkless but were you given a quirk?" I ask him. He nods "I call it enhancer. It enhances a lot of things like my senses, speed, strength, and intelligence" he answers "but your quirk is more complicated than that, quite complicated in fact, with many mental and physical effects" he says, almost as if he was evaluating my soul.

I nod. "It's considered a cursed quirk but I learn to live with it. The only hard part about it is getting 5 hours of sleep without waking up screaming. That's why I sleep during the day and only take small naps instead of falling out completely" I explain. He nods "that makes sense...if you don't mind me asking...what do your nightmares consist of?" He asks. I sigh "mostly my family. I'm a 10-year-old girl, running from her parents. Looking for a hero to save me. But I'm always caught. Each night the torture is different. But a routine moment is before I wake up, I always see kurogiri. Comforting the little girl who can't get away...." I explain. He looks at me "wow. That's deep" I nod, he sighs, "kurogiri missed you quite a bit. He'd bring up moments when you and Tomura were kids, but he always sounded so sad" he tells me. I frown "sadly I don't know if i feel the same or not...." I mumble, tears filling my eyes.

Izuku takes notice and pulls me into his chest, one of his hands resting on the back of my head "I'm sorry, please don't cry" he says. I let a small giggle escape "i-its fine...deku" I say, hugging him. He smiles sadly as he holds me close, surprisingly not angry for what I called him.
