"Well I always had gravity by my side, no?..."
Izuku always aspired to become a hero with always a smile on his face, just like his favourite hero, All Might. He was kind, forgiving and almost all the times happy, aspiring to become like his idol. But, he had doubts about his quirk, or should I say his second quirk. Infact, he always asked himself "Can I become a hero too even with this quirk?".
With this doubt, he sometimes thought about giving up, until on a typical day, while coming back from school, he meets a brunette with rosy cheeks who will accompany him during his journey to become a hero, and maybe even bring more joy to his life.
Many hardships await Izuku and ochako, but if they are together, nothing and no one will stop them from achieving their dream.
He is always there.
When I thought I would fail, he saved me.
When I began doubting myself, he reassured me.
I feel embarrassed when I believe Deku would stay by my side, protecting me.
Is that wrong? Am I in the wrong? Why does it feel wrong?
...I wouldn't be a burden. I want to stand next to Deku and not behind him as a victim.
Deku is my hero, how can I not help him when he needs help?
He... was always there.
"...Who saves the hero when they need saving?"
-
"Someone who the hero can trust with their soul... wouldn't you call them a hero too, Ochaco?"
You were always there.
When I was confused and afraid, you made such a dreadful day so bright.
When I felt overwhelmed, you held my hand and promised to share my struggles.
How can you not be my hero?
I want to remember. Why can't I remember? Would I be able to remember?
Why do I hear the things you don't? Would I be able to see the hero you called me?
Am I broken? Am I still useless? Am I a liability? Am I really his successor?
Were you always there?
"Can I... trust you?"
"Do you believe I can be a hero?"
-
"You will always be a hero, Izuku. That's just the way you are."
