"Re-Rene-san...?"

The said brunet turned his head slightly, arms propped over his knees as he sat down next to the younger.  The adult's tattered fedora shadowed his brown eyes as he gazed at the child.

"Mm?  What is it, Izuku-kun?"

The green-haired child rubbed at his puffy eyes feverishly, looking up with teary irises, his lower lip trembling.

"Do you...d-do you think...that I can become a hero?"

Rene looked surprised for a second before his expression became neutral.  Brown gazed into green eyes thoughtfully.  Rene hummed before sighing.

"No."

Midoriya felt crushed and he ducked his head down, trying to smile.

"O-Oh...."

Suddenly, the child felt fingers wrap around his shoulder and he was brought into a one-armed hug.  Rene flipped his fedora off of his head with his free hand before stuffing it onto Izuku's head, smiling gently.

"Because I know you'll be something even greater."

Izuku felt his eyes flood with tears as he tilted the fedora out of his line of sight to look up at Rene.

"Y-You...really think so?"

Rene chuckled, his usually dull eyes lit with genuine joy.

"I know so." He replied softly.

•Rankings• #1 in bakudeku #16 in tododeku #21 in game #86 in slow burn 🧡BakuDeku💚 Class 1-A thinks it'd be a good idea to play a big game of truth or dare. Most of them are very competitive by nature, so you can only guess how extreme it gets. When Izuku pushes a little to far with his childhood friend, Bakugou, their classmates call it quits and they all head to bed. As Izuku makes his way to his dorm, Bakugou stops him. He says he'll do it, because he's not a 'fucking chicken', but only if Izuku agrees to continue the game... As the game gets more heated, so do their everyday lives. Between the seemingly constant fighting and someone with dangerous feelings towards Izuku, will the two be able to get past all of that and finally be friends... or maybe more? ************************* I let out a defeated sigh. "Fine, but you still have to compliment me ya know. That's not going to be an easy task for you." I said with a big smile. There's no way he could do. "Oi, shut up! I can totally do the dare, even if there isn't a whole lot of good stuff about you." He mumbled the last part. I gasped at him. "Rude!" I exclaimed. "Just shut up so I can think!" He growled at me. I sighed, but complied. He thought in silence for a minute or two, just looking into my eyes. I was actually afraid he'd zoned out or maybe fallen asleep with his eyes open or something. Until he finally spoke. "Your eyes... why are they so goddamn pretty?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extract 2 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "I think you should pay attention to your little angel more." Izuku stopped in his tracks, his body turning to Katsuki. Everything happened in slow motion after that.

At 25 years old, Izuku Midoriya has built a quiet, fulfilling life for himself as a kindergarten teacher. He spends his days surrounded by laughter, sticky fingers, and endless questions from curious little minds. It's a far cry from high school, where he was just another quiet kid trying to get through the day-especially with Katsuki Bakugo making his life a little harder than necessary. But that was years ago. He's long since moved past it. Katsuki Bakugo, now a rising-star chef, doesn't spend much time thinking about the past. He's got a restaurant to run, a reputation to build, and no patience for distractions. But when Kirishima and Mina ask him to pick up their five-year-old son from school one afternoon, the last person he expects to see waiting at the classroom door is Midoriya. They weren't friends in high school. They barely spoke outside of the occasional insult or glare. But suddenly, they're seeing each other every day, brought together by a kid who won't stop talking about how cool his teacher is. At first, Bakugo's irritated. Then, he's intrigued. Because the Midoriya standing in front of him now-the one who doesn't flinch at his gruff attitude, who holds his own in conversation, who smiles without hesitation-is nothing like the kid he used to know. And Izuku? He doesn't know what to make of this older, calmer-but still frustratingly blunt-version of Katsuki Bakugo. What starts as awkward small talk at school pickup soon turns into reluctant familiarity, then quiet respect, and maybe-just maybe-something more. After all, neither of them expected to cross paths again. But life has a funny way of throwing people back together when they least expect it.

Weird... that's one word. A rather rude one, but it was the right one to describe me. Or delusional, considering I want to be a hero, but my quirk is so useless. Izuku had a very... dark mindset. When he first met his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo, he started dragging him into his schemes. Inko didn't mind much, brushing it off as the creative mind of a young boy. She was a supportive mother, so she let him do a lot of things other kids couldn't- -No, he wasn't allowed to do drugs, get your mind outa the gutter. Hell, at the crisp age of 10 he was allowed to go outside at night, alone. All he needed was his phone, his location on, and to come back before 9:30. One night, she was in his room, helping him clean it, when she found a rat corpse he put in a jar. She screamed so loud the neighbors came to check on the two. Izuku said it was his special little friend he found on a walk, so she let him keep it. That's most likely one of the reasons he's being bullied. "Oi, Deku. Whatcha thinking about this time? Do you wanna hit the teacher and put his kinda in a jar?" Katsuki taunted. Izuku only looked up and him, rolling his eyes. "Don't be silly," he started, making Katsuki's underling heart race. "His lungs would be too big to fit in a jar. I'd need a larger container, like a-" "You're so fuckin weird!"
