Chapter Text
Dear penpal,
Hello! My name is Izuku and my teacher signed my class up for pen pals! I like the colour red, I like quirks and heroes, and I'm 8!
What about you? I do not have many friends except kacchan, his quirk is so cool!!! Kacchan says I'm annoying but hopefully you dont mind :)
What is your quirk?
-Izuku

Touya stares at the paper.
He blinks once, it's still there.
He blinks again, harder, yet it doesn't disappear.
He rubs his eyes and reads the letter again.
Touya's stomach dropped- what if they found him and are making him feel trapped so he could make a mistake?
He can't remember signing up for any 'penpals' but, is there any harm reaponding? There's no way they could track him down from his P.O box, he made sure of it.
There's no harm in reaponding, right?
....right?
He spent the rest of the night staring at the paper.

Dear Izuku,
My name is Dabi, I'm not sure if I signed up for this penpal thing, but I'll try to respond the best I can, I do not have a favourite colour, liking quirks and heroes may be a common though, yet I think it's a waste of time, quirks shouldn't be put on a pedestal, neither should heroes. I'm a young adult, 20.
Hopefully you aren't too annoying, but I wouldn't mind too much.
As for my quirk, I can control blue fire, yet my body is built for a cold quirk, so I try not to use it much.
What's your quirk?
-Dabi

Izuku stared at the question, and continued staring at it till his mother dragged him out to eat dinner.
How could he respond with that? Could he ignore it? No, he'd only get suspicious... He could only hope that he truly thinks that quirks aren't everything.

Dear Dabi,
Your quirk is really cool!!! Maybe you could use suppourt items to keep your body the correct temperature? Like a fire-man! Could you use anywhere on you body or just one place? You could be a great hero! I know you don't like heroes who are daylight heroes but you could always be like Eraserhead, an underground hero! They don't ever appear on tv, yet they still help and save others!
I'm quirkless, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, it's okay if you do not want to exchange messages anymore, you problably don't want to talk to me.
-Izuku
