What makes a hero? There wasn't really a right or wrong answer. Some said it was how many people you save, regardless of your initial intentions. Others argued it was how powerful you were in terms of defeating villains. To Midoriya Izuku, it was your intentions and beliefs. It was if you chose to do the right thing. It was having a kind heart. So why, when he stood before the number one hero - his idol, his inspiration, the man who gave him the will to live - did he feel heartbroken? That wasn't what a hero was supposed to make civilians feel, right? They were supposed to protect and comfort. Not crush dreams. Or; Midoriya Izuku is only a middle-schooler. A kid. There is only so much a kid can take... And an interaction with his idol pushed him a little too far. But that small push might've changed his life forever... (This fic is also posted on Ao3 (Green Phoenix by Arty21), and over there will be where I'll post first and you'll know a little more about me thanks to the 'notes', so check it out if you want :). Also, I update every Saturday there. Anyway, have a good day and I hope you like my fic.)

Kirishima sends Midoriya to study with Bakugou in place of the rest of the Bakusquad, who received detention. However, his little scheme works a bit too well, reconnecting childhood friends with past dreams of being a hero duo. Completed! Todokiri established later in the book:) *art not mine* *characters not mine*
