Life is not a beautiful as everyone thinks. And it certainly isn't fair. 
*
Katsuki Bakugo has gone through his own hardships and had to fight his own battles in life. Not that anyone ever noticed. 

Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless in a society where 80 percent of the population had superpowers called "Quirks." They can vary from something a simple as being able to bake anything to being able to talk to animals to telekinesis and everything in between. But Lady Luck didn't bother with Izuku and his heart of gold. 

Growing up together Bakugo and Izuku had their fair share of hardships. Except one's was just more noticeable. The other hid his in the shadows, far from wandering eyes. Away from everything and everyone.

Izuku may learn that wearing his heart on his sleeve is a dangerous game. Katsuki may realize that having a heart of glass and a mind of stone is a recipe for disaster. Will they be able to overcome their differences? Will they be able to save the world? Will their dreams come true? Will they be able to stand together once again?

Or will they crumble down, bring the world down with them? 

They were told not to play with fire. Oh, how they'll wish they listened.


DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story is someone else's unless stated otherwise. While I did change the storyline, the original story is BNHA or MHA. All the characters (other than maybe one oc I might add late into the story but they're just sort of there) belong to said show.

This story has a lot of strong, difficult topics and subjects so if you don't feel comfortable reading that, please leave. Thank you.

WARNING: Viewer discretion advised. This story contains descriptions of murder, suicide, sex, and other mature content. Spoilers also ahead. ~~ What if Deku wasn't born quirkless? What if the reason for Katsuki's hurtful words had to do with the dark past Inko desperately tried to keep hidden from the outside world? What if becoming a hero wasn't the answer after all? ~~ My eyes widen. "I've decided. Young man, you will inherit my quirk." I let out a sigh of relief, laying down on the ground as my anxiety fades. I'm overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down my face as my body is overcome with brutal exhaustion. I don't plan on using this power to become a hero, but All Might doesn't need to know that. I can't think of being a hero, or anything else for now. I need to get stronger, even stronger than my father. Wait for me mom, Kacchan, I'm coming. ~~ After that night, things only became harder for Izuku. The mental pressure was too much, to the extent that it took an unhealthy turn. Izuku could barely handle the pressure of having no one to rely on, torn between becoming a hero and being taught how to assassinate by the killer of heroes. It wasn't long before his sanity began to split. ~~ "It's okay. Honestly, you're the first person I've met who doesn't think my quirk is more suited to become a villain.." Shinsou said. After spending so much time with villains, I no longer thought of the word the same. "If you ask villains their story, you'll probably think they'd make pretty good protagonists. We always see things from the hero's perspective but we rarely ask how the villain ended up the way they are. The heroes are the real villains if you ask any villain, and even villains can be a hero to someone." ~~ I killed someone. I know he deserved it, yet I still couldn't look down at my own hands the same. Dried blood covered the bandages I wore around my wrists when I train with Stain. I had no choice but to accept it. I became a hero killer.

BakuDeku - Midoriya Izuku found himself quirkless and quickly at the non-existent mercy of his classmates as he entered middle school. Every day he survived, he was beating the odds, even as the bruises teased at his nerves through his skin, taunting him long after his tormentors' fists had last made physical contact. When he found the fighting ring, he expected to just become a living punching bag, really. He didn't expect people to look past his quirklessness and take him under their wing, essentially training their own competition. He didn't expect to get good at it, and he didn't expect to be noticed when he did. When Izuku and Katsuki got accepted into UA, the class cheered for Katsuki and jeered at Izuku for daring to pretend to be in the same league as someone like Katsuki, even when Izuku only managed to make it into general studies. So, Katsuki went to UA, and Izuku quietly said, "thanks for the opportunity, but no thanks," and switched to an advanced online schooling option. It was just the rule of the world, and rules were rules. Some things couldn't be helped. Besides... He had a feeling UA would ask too many questions about the constant bruising blooming so beautifully across his face that Aldera staff had so pointedly ignored. And even if UA didn't ask questions about the bruises and abrasions on his face, they definitely would about the ones across his busted knuckles. In the Pit, Midoriya Izuku didn't exist. In the Pit, he was Viper. In the Pit, Viper was a quirkless fighter who still faced prejudice and bias, but everyone fought quirkless in the Pit, so at least it was a level playing field. In the real world, Midoriya Izuku put on a smile and explained his bruises away on him being quirkless and finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the Pit, Viper fought back viciously quick and calculating, earning every bruise and giving back just as many. And sometimes he even won.

The only person who cared was his mother but eventually she left to.. there was no-one until there was.
