Cross-posted on A03 under the name 'origins' by Mr_SpeckySilence (NameL355Silence) Izuku knows what he's doing is wrong, he truly does! Yet he still does it because it's so fucking liberating. When he does it, it no longer matters that he's fucking quirkless, that he's weak, or a fucking Deku. The panicked look in their eyes when he drives the knife into them brings him much joy, but even more is the blood, blood that proves that they're still human, they still succumb to death, they're no better than him. In the end, all Izuku wants is someone to treat him like an equal, become his friend and possibly more. ¬¬¬ Himiko loves blood, she knows that makes her weird, but she gave up caring what others thought a long time ago, now she just wanders around the city looking for 'friends' to paint red. She has yet to meet a person who loves red as much as her, they all scream and become scared when they are painted red, it's like they don't see that blood is really pretty. That makes Himiko very sad, she really wants a friend but is unlikely to happen.
