Chapter 1: All Might? A quirk?

Chapter Text

Izuku really wanted to go home today but as always Katsuki Bakugou had other plans. Returning to his class he finds the blonde flipping through his notebook, his friends weren't to be seen which has made the greenette take in his surroundings. The notebook was his diary, he must've grabbed it instead of No. 13.

"Kachan?" Izuku took a sharp breath as the blonde snapped his head up.

"De- Izuku is this true?" His bullied face showed worry.

"No that's not mine." Izuku says grabbing his bag. Small pops caused Izuku to flinch Katsuki's manic laughter filled the air. The diary taking much if the damage was flung out the window his bag viciously torn out of his hands and tossed outside too.

"Danmit Deku you fucking bastard!" He didn't know nor want to find out what Katauki read.

"I gotta go!" Izuku hurriedly says turning around. His neck is grabbed and torn back to the now angered boy.

"Fucking fag." Katsuki spun the boy around.

"What do you mean K-Kachan?" A half-assed question. There was a slight red above Katsuki's ears and his eyes held a small hope. With that Izuku saw his chance, raising his arms with what little strength he had left he pulled the blondes lips to his. His feet hit the ground and Katsuki touches his lips. Izuku runs out the door leaving the boy to his thoughts.

"Fuck, damnit, that wasn't the stupid fucking plan for today Izuku. Shoving things into his wet torn bag he starts walking. "Kachan's gonna murder me."

"Fucking bastard Deku!" Now Katsuki had a mouth but honestly the sweet Izuku was far worse. His mother didn't exactly raise him as Auntie Mitsuki did with Kachan, being a single mom and all she swore, a lot. That was when she wasn't working her ungodly hours at the hospital. Well it was fine it let Izuku pick up other past times.

"A middle schooler perfect to takeover." A sloshy torn voice says. Izuku snaps back to reality, under the bridge. A green horrid smelling being slide down his throat. Thus was how he was going to die, a useless nobody. The slight glare of an object caught Izuku's eye, picking it up he felt the skin on his hand tear. Ignoring pain was easy for Izuku. Attempting to hit the creatures eye Izuku saw a figure.

"I AM HERE!" The voice was loud. All Might? A quick punch finished the villian leaving Izuku exasperated. All Might tossed the diary with a signature going to jump off Izuku needed to ask, he just wanted to see if any hero could believe in him. "What are you doing young boy let go this instant!"

"W-what I'll die!" All Might lands on a roof and Izuku looks at him "who the fuck tells a kid to let go mid air?" Izuku yells.

"I'm sorry boy it was a mistake. Any way what do you need?"

"Can a quirkless kid like me become a hero?" Izuku's eyes were hopeful.

****basically the while thing where All Might says no and leaves****

"Holy shit." Izuku stood looking at the ground below. A loud siren caught him off guard and he started falling. "Fuck, shit, what the absolute hell!" Izuku passed a few balconies he was approaching the ground and fast. Guess those pastimes activities will pay off.
-------
Shouta started his patrol particularly early today he had a feeling. That's when he saw it an oddly familiar figure falling from the roof. A tangle of green hairs yelling words he could barely make out as obscenities before rushing to catch him. When unexpectedly the kid started shifting. His hand outstretched reaching for the balconies. At the speed and height he's falling if he isn't skilled enough his arm would be damaged and worse torn off.

"Cmon you can do it." A yell erupted as the kid reached our and grabbed a balcony as fast as he touched. It he was pulling himself up. Spotting the hero he covered his face with the fabric from the backpack.

"Fennec." Eraserheads voice was low and followed by a grumble.

"I'd love to stay and chat Eraser but I'm already late home." Izuku shrugs one handedly dropping down balconies keeping his face covered. Eraserhead just sighed watching as the boy took various turns. He'd catch him later, or at least he'd try to.
-------
Out of sight Izuku drops his bag when he's caught in the commotion of a crowd. Yelling and all familiar explosion pop as heroes stand at the entrance, shit. He pushes through in enough time to see Katsuki gasp for air, his Katsuki. Running to the villian he slams his bag against it and struggles to dig Katsuki out. A discarded bottle and smashed it against the villians eyes causing the villian to chillchill. That was before All Might came up and punched it into a rainstorm or something. Heroes immediately started reprimanded him and applauding Katsuki at his bravery.

Izuku's eyes lingered a bit longer on the blonde then they should've.

"-id! Kid! You shouldn't do such dangerous things, let the heroes handle it. Izuku tried to hold back the chuckle he really did but it was inevitable. "This isn't funny!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Izuku almost falls over "I could've sworn you said to let the heroes handle it." Izuku went dead serious his eyes sharp, piercing the heroes "you mean the same heroes that stood and watched as a kid was dying."

"Oi extra." Katsuki's voice calmed him his I switched back to the bright hopeful ones they were before. Turning to meet the blonde. "Calm down, they are just trying to help."

"Mm okay Kachan." Izuku smiles catching a slight blush from the taller blonde.

Walking home as Katsuki had to be brought to a hospital to check for internal injuries the warm orange sun surrounded Izuku he felt peace. He'd become a quirkless hero and prove everyone wrong! His peave was destroyed by All Might.

"Young boy I would like to offer you my quirk." Spitting blood Izuku stepped aside before a jaw drop.

"What?" So All Might explained to him his quirk. It would change his life. But Izuku decided he'd become a great quirkless hero.

"I really appreciate the offer All Might but I think I want to become a hero quirkless people can look up to, a way to show them that no mafter what anyone says they can become what they want." All Might gives an understanding smile.

"I'd like to train you with that. If you'd allow me."

"I'd be honored really!"

"Meet me at Dagobah Beach tomorrow at 4." Izuku nodded as he continued to walk. Excitedly he pulled out his phone.

Fen 💚: Hito i have so much to tell yoy oh where to start.

Hito 💜🧠: ooo do tell Fen do tell.

Fen 💚: I kissed Kachan, and he didn't kill me he was actually sorta nice?

Hito 💜🧠: shit Fen I'm proud of you!

Fen💚: Then I was attacked by a villian and saved by All Might. I clung onto him and the he landed on a roof I asked if I could be a hero without a quirk and he said no and left. Then I fell off said building and caught myself then I ran into Eraserhead who sounded distraught. Then I saw Kachan getting attacked by said villian and tried to save him, All Might came and saved him. Then All Mifht offered to train me to become a qujrkless hero!

Hito 💜🧠: Holy shit Fen. Shit someone's following me around that one Cafe you like I'll be back.

Izuku took this as a sign he needed to save Hito, he couldn't as a civilian if he wore his costume Hito wouldn't recognize him. So he got home, pulled on his costume and hopped roofs until he was around the Cafe. He tracked Hito's location to a nearby alleyway. Hoping there he looked down to Hito being pinned to the wall by an older teen. Hito and him never officially met so jed have to act like he didn't know ow him. Jumping down Fennec crossed his arms.

"Now let's let the kid go." His voice was rough. That was his Hito. The purple hair that almost floated back matched with tired lavender eyes. He was taller than Izuku but was less muscular and stood with a slouch. He was perfect. Izuku's eyes darted to the man before kicking him in the face causing him to get knocked out.
-------

Hitoshi knew a few things about Fen, like his green curly mop he called hair, his large green doe eyes, his sparky attitude, his small stature and his muscle. Hitoshi knew his muscles he dreamed of those, dreamed of being held by the boy he'd never met. But now this vigilante standing infront of him.

"So uh if you don't mind I gotta call my personal assistant to clean this up. Um the nam-"

"Fen." Hitoshi stared into his eyes.

"Shhh Hito it's a secret." He hugged the boy infront of him feeling the muscles through the skintight suit. Izuku's face buried intl his neck. He smelt like the forest after a soft rain. Pulling up the mask and sharp jawline was softened by freckles thst littered the boys face. He looked so sweet.

Oh did Fennec move fast. His mask was down in snap when Eraserhead hopped down.

"Eraser, miss me much?" Fennec teased.

"Oh sorry did I interrupt you and your boyfriend Fennec." Both teens reddened immensely as Eraser picked up the man.

"D-dad he's n-not my boyfriend." Hitoshi panicked.

"Unless you want me to." Izuku winked.

"Your dating a vigilante and didn't think to tell me?" Eraser looms over the two.

"To be fair we only told eachother what we looked like. Along with a few photos while on patrol, yknow the one night Endeavor burnt off my clothing."

"You sent naked pictures to my son Fennec?" Erasers glare hardened.

"I'm a teen boy but I wouldn't send nudes it was to show i wasnt hurt too badly." Izuku grins.

"Stay here I'll be back." Eraser warned the boys who nodded. As soon as he was gone Hitoshi found him in the greenettes arms again.
--------
"Fuck me." Izuku looked at his watch after Eraser had not returned for 5 minutes.

"Pleasures mine." Izuku chokes turning his head.

"Hito!" His voice squeak. He pulled the boy up on his feet before his hands snaked their way around his waist pulling him close. Hugging him and smiling Izuku felt something spark. This was how he felt around Katsuki. Shit. Fuck. This bitch. "You bitch." Izuku remarks.

"What did I do?" His voice cracked causing Izuku to chuckle.

"Made me fall for you."

"Fen can I kiss you?" Izuku nods before being caught in a capture weapon.

"What the fuckity fuck hell." Izuku snaps his head to hero "Wait to ruin the moment Eraser." A middle finger is pointed in Erasers direction.

"Sorry Hitoshi you aren't to be in contact with this vigilante."

"Wh- but that not fair dad!" His voice cracks.

"End of discussion he's dangerous." Izuku grumbles looking at the hurt teen.

"Aizawa." Hitoshi's voice was annoyed.

"Gotta go, love you Hito." The vigilante winks before swinging onto roofs Izuku hears Eraser chasing him when he's suddenly being carried by Stain?

"What the fuck, I thought my training was done, if Eraser finds out we know each other I'm done for."

"You can't exactly avoid your father Izuku." Izuku groans as Stain weaves through alleys easily evading Aizawa.

"I really wish I could." Izuku was told his father was Hizashi Midoriya but his mother lied, documents and photos betrayed her early on. Izuku saw his father for the first time after almost 9 years but he recognized him despite the hobo look.

"Just want to check up on you as any loving father would do." Once Stain was sure he's avoided Eraser Izuku is brought into a worn down building.

"Well I have good news." Izuku flops onto the couch. Stain throws a knife and Izuku catches it between his fingers.

"Good." Stain looks at Izuku with a sense of pride.

"All Might's offered to help me train." Stain gives a sly smile.

"Good going my boy." Stains face drops "there's a new rumor of a villian organization, the League of Villians they want to end All Might."

"What?" This is probably the work of All Mights nemesis All for One.

"They keep trying to get me to join. Honestly hurtful, I only kill worthless heroes which All Might is not."

"Mmm." Izuku peeks at his phone texts from Hito are never ending. "Eraser is a pain in my ass but he has grown on me." Izuku stands up.

"Leaving so soon."

"Yeah sorry, Dad." Izuku rarely referred to the vigilante as Dad unless he had a dumb idea.

"Izuku." The father speaks before Izuku hops out of the building. Jumping along villians he meets Hito outside of an address. It's Hito's house. A grin finds his lips, going to the left side far window Izuku climbs inside to find the lavender haired boy laying in bed.

"Hito." The name comes out breathy as he looks at the shirtless boy laying in bed with his eyes shut. Soft muscle makes Izuku blush, there's a small scar on the right side of his waist and Izuku finds his eyes lingering.
--------
Hitoshi clears his throat and the greenette falls forward getting caught.

"I-I wasn't, I- damn Hito." He gives up sitting up. Hitoshi places a finger on his lip and Fen has a look of horror at the footsteps getting closer. Fen quickly moves to the window and slowly let's himself hang. Hitoshi's door opens and Aizawa looks tired.

"Your little boyfriends been kidnapped by Stain. I wouldn't be worried though he's probably escaped by now." Aizawa looks at the open window before shutting the door. Pulling himself up Fen has a sly grub acrossed his face.

"Kidnapped?" Hitoshi finds himself hugging the shorter male. His suit brushes against Hitoshi's skin when he remembers he's shirtless. His face turns bright red and he looks at Fens lingering eyes.

"It's fine he does that sometimes." Izuku shrugs looking into Hitoshi's eyes. "About that kiss?" Hitoshi goes to move the mask and the door swings open. "Shit."

"Fennec!" Fen dives out the window and rolls in the grass disappearing out of sight.

"You really want me to have no friends don't you." Hitoshi picks up a shirt pulling it on, he notices the one off his bed went missing and wondered when the other boy took it.

"Hitoshi he's a vigilante, it's my job to catch him." Hitoshi groans as Aizawa looks at him "and last time I checked friends don't eye fuck eachother while trying to kiss."

"Da- get out get out." Hitoshi felt his face get hit as he pushed the hero out of his room. He lays on his bed and checks his phone.
---------
Finding a tall building Izuku sits on the edge kicking his feet. In his hands he held a lavander t-shirt. Grinning he holds it against his body. He hears Eraser trying to sneak up behind him and throws his bead back.

"Speedy aren't ya Eraser?" Standing up he spins on his heel.

"I'll let you take me in and tell you my identity if you can ignore the fact that I'm trying to date your son." Fen shoves the shirt into a small pouch Izuku looks at the hero.

"Did you take that shirt?" Fen spins on his heel "why would you let yourself get arrested and charges just to date someone? Who are you?" The questions were darting in a monotone voice.

"This isn't 20 questions Eraser." Spinning a knife in his hand he stabs it into the concrete building. "Answers come at a price and some are priceless."

"What do you want?" His voice has a hinge of annoyance.

"Answers. One for one?" The hero sits down.

"I'll answer here if you promise to come into the station to answer you yours." Izuku nods putting his hands towards the man.

"Why?"

"You've got to be more specific than that kid."

"Why are you so persistent on catching me? I mean there's other vigilantes that'd be easier for you to get so it's not just because of your job."

"Maybe you've peaked my interest." The hero sighs.

"That's it. I'll answer whatever I feel like at the station." Izuku stands up. He had more but the pro isn't prepared fot that.

"Really?" Eraser stands up wrapping the scarf around the kid who didn't struggle.

"Yeah." Izuku's carried by the hero as he jumps acrossed buildings. Landing infront of the station he's brought inside. Izuku wasn't dumb, he had a way through arrest. Brought to a desk he's pat down and his weapons are removed. The purple shirt is gonna be taken but he holds it. In the interrogation room Izuku's eyes find a camera. "I'd actually appreciate if my identity could stay between us."

"Fine." Eraser groans covering the camera. A recording device is set down on the table. Izuku pulls off the mask and Eraser seems taken back. "Midoriya?" Now the vigilantes face turns.

"Excuse me?"

"I investigated your mother, for child neglect 4 years ago."

"Oh, why your an underground hero?"

"My friend asked me to help, does she know?" Izuku almost scoffs.

"Does she know, I'd be surprised if she even knew what I looked like. You really think she's not neglectful, she works hours on end at the hospital to have alcohol, drug and gambling money. If she's home she's too fucking drunk to realize as she beats the fuck out of me." Izuku crosses his arms.

"Delete that recording you said my name." The low growl of his voice showed he was pissed.

"Okay. What's your quirk?" Eraser stares as the boy looks I'm his eyes.

"Pass."

"Do you know you're being charged with vigilantism." This is where Izuku grins.

"May you read me the law against vigilantism and its meaning?" Izuku smiles, this is where his quirk would be revealed tot he hero.

"Vigilantes are people who voluntarily carry out duties usually done by Pro Heroes without paying attention to the laws against quirk use."

"So I cannot be charged for being a vigilante."

"And why is that?" The remembrance from 4 years ago seems to settle in.

"You see Eraser I'm not breaking any laws, I fight sure but people usually start those fights and it's to help people so I can't really be charged for assault and I'm quirkless so I'm not breaking any of those laws either." Izuku stands up.

"Get out of here kid." Eraser as a small smile. Pulling on his mask Izuku walks freely to the desk retrieving his stuff. He scales a building and easily makes his way back to Hito's house.
