Izuku midoriya is a kid down on his luck, from being diagnosed quirkless, losing his best friend, his notebooks being damaged time and time again. He doesn't reach his breaking point, he doesn't feel the tension in the back of his mind. He's just a quirkless kid with no hopes or issues.
Inko isn't very helpful, crying here and there, clearly tired of all these issues.
...
He goes out one day, to the mall, or a street, anywhere with a hero fight, writing down numbly in his journal, eyes focused on the hero, evaluating their stats like some video game.
He barely notices when he's being dragged away, no one noticing his disappearance.
Yes, another mha fic. This one experimenting with my own little idea after seeing some plots of other stories, yes, by penguin, and yes, I'll be using to somewhat influence my ao3.
