Chapter Text
Everyday was a struggle for Izuku Midoryia. He was a happy kid and enjoyed playing with his best friend Katsuki Bakugou. All of this changed when he turned four though. He was born quirkless or as everyone else put it, a Deku.
Cut to his life now and he couldn’t be more happy (or so he thinks). He received a quirk of his idol, he has friends and he’s no longer a Deku. The only thing that he hates is himself and his demons. He used to think that it was just luck that he was born quirkless. But now, he believes it’s his fault.
He would always blame himself. He thought he deserved to be punished not just because he was a Deku but because he isn’t good enough.
Most nights he would come home to his mothers embrace, except when she was still at work or on a business trip. When that happens, he would come home to a small blade.

Slowly he would place the blade down and look at himself in the mirror. His normally bright green eyes were dull and hollow.
To hide his cuts he would just say that he’s following Eraserhead’s style or say he broke another bone. Another way he would hide them was to wear a black long sleeved jumper or hoody.
Class 1-A started getting suspicious with how he had started acting more distant or how whenever he smiled, it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Hey Iida, have you noticed how Deku seems more...distant?” Urakaka points out while eating her lunch.
“I have. Maybe he has family problems, or struggles to sleep.”
Iida replies back.
“Maybe..” Urakaka thinks out loud
(Now enter dorm life )
Izuku hates how he acts around his friends. He has to spit out lies with nearly every word. And not to mention Kacchan, he’s becoming better but it concerns me. I suspect he’s going to tell me to give up, or to just jump and yet, it never happens. Probably because my brain is seriously fucked up or I’m just a weakling, a Deku. A stupid Deku who presumes. A stupid Deku who stutters at every word. A stupid Deku who has demons.
“Hey Bakubro, have you have seen Midoriya act like this before?” Kirishima asked to Bakugou
“No, the shitty nerd has always been determined, even when extras said he couldn’t. Any why does it matter to you Shitty hair?” Bakugou replied back in a snotty way
“Maybe we should ask if he’s ok?” Suggested Kirishima
“Ask fucking round face or someone like that because fuck that shitty nerd if you think I care about him.”
Bakugou practically shouted
“Whatever dude.” Kirishima said grinning “we’ll check on him later!”
