    Summary

    “It’s already a fucking miracle you’re not in juvie while being charged with murder—” Izuku flinches “—you can’t afford to slip up.” Mr. Aizawa’s tone is harsh as they slow, his dark eyes resting heavily on him. “Do you understand?”

    Izuku nods, whispering a small, “Sorry.”

    Mr. Aizawa glares at him, tugging him along, like he doesn’t believe him. “Stop being sorry and just follow the rules.”

    Izuku isn’t going to juvie. They said he’s different – doesn’t matter that he’s killed someone, the police is worried about a quirkless child being around other ‘troubled’ kids.

    Now this Mr. Aizawa is stuck with him until his trial, and Izuku’s completely, a hundred percent certain that the man absolutely hates him.

    Unbeknownst to them, someone is watching from the shadows...

    Summary

    Expelled? Geez. This kid doesn’t seem like a problem child at first glance, but looks can be deceiving. The soft looks are apparently just a ploy for the devious child underneath. A little wolf in sheep’s clothing. Oh how he'd hate to see what spawned this kid.
    “What did you do?”
    “Why do you assume I did something? You do know that assuming just makes an ass out of you and me, right?” Izuku said as he eyed him.
    Shouta narrowed his eyes. “Kid, you are literally attempting to blackmail me.”
    “Touché. Is it working?” Izuku asked with a shit eating grin.
    Little shit.

    _____

    Third year middle school Izuku meets Pro Hero Eraserhead in the park, blackmails him into helping him by pretending to be his guardian so he doesn't get expelled, and who knows where they'll end up from there. Izuku didn't expect a happy ending and Shouta didn't expect to get attached so quickly.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was a quirkless orphan. His mother had been killed when he was eight—the same day he lost faith in heroes. By ten, he had lost faith in all adults. He had been shuffled between at least eleven different foster homes, each one eager to send him back the moment they realized he was quirkless. By twelve, Izuku understood the truth—no one was coming to save him.

    So, he became Ghost.

    Silent, unseen, and unnoticed, he moved through the city’s underbelly, doing what heroes wouldn’t. No quirk, no support—just sheer will. If the world refused to fight for someone like him, then he’d fight for himself and for those who had no one else.

    But then they came.

    Yamada Hizashi and Aizawa Shouta. Two pro heroes who didn’t look at him with disappointment or pity. They didn’t see a problem to be ignored or a burden to be passed along. They saw him—just Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless orphan who had been failed time and time again.

    But Izuku had been surviving on his own for so long. He had built walls no one had ever tried to break through before. They didn’t know who he really was, what he had done, what he had become.

    And he wasn’t sure if there was anything left of him to save.
