Work Text:
It was the first day of the new school year and Hitoshi was very nervous. His dad had gotten him in on recommendations as his dad knows that he wouldn't be given a fair chance against the battle bots. He arrives at the school with his dad and just goes straight to the classroom to wait for his classmates as he doesn't want anyone knowing that his dad is their teacher; he even has to use a fake last name instead of his legal name. He just sits there reading his book.
He hears the classroom door open and glances over at an angry looking blonde who has tossed his feet up on his desk. He rolls his eyes and goes back to reading his book. It's about how to analyze quirks and he feels like it'd be a good skill for him to know since his quirk is best suited for support.
"Ah man.. They released a new edition.. I was looking forward to comparing the previous one and this one," a soft spoken voice whispers from in front of him and he startles a bit as he looks up.
He sees a very fragile looking green haired boy with a nasty looking handprint around his throat along with his face busted and bruised. His black school uniform is torn to shreds and his curly green hair is matted with blood. He feels his heart pounding out of his chest as he and this boy make eye contact and it's clear to Hitoshi that this boy wasn't expecting to be looking into the eyes of someone looking at him.
"You can see me?" The boy asks and Hitoshi nods his head. "Is your quirk seeing ghosts?"
Hitoshi shakes his head and signs to him, 'My quirk is brainwashing. What's your name?'
"I'm Izuku Midoriya but people call me Deku," Izuku answers his question before he starts rambling. "Since you have a mental based quirk, you're more sensitive to certain things, like the ability to see spirits. You probably don't get a lot of sleep and you more than likely suffer from some pretty nasty headaches if you use your quirk too much. Oh sorry! I just really love quirks and analyzing them! It's my hobby! And I'm still being rude! What's your name?!"
'Hitoshi Aizawa,' Hitoshi finger spells, 'My last name at school is Shinsou though since my dad is Eraserhead.'
Izuku gasps in excitement, "Oh my gosh! I'm a huge fan of your father! He's an amazing hero! He even fights quirkless!" His excitement quickly fades and a sad smile forms on his face, "He's the one who found my body. I don't think I've ever seen a hero as tough as your father break before. It definitely broke my heart to have caused him that hurt."
Hitoshi stares at Izuku sadly, he does remember his dad coming home about ten months ago very distraught and had made him lay down with him so he could hold him close as he cried, 'I remember him coming home ten months ago and just holding me while he cried. I never asked him why he was crying though nor did he ever tell me.'
"Oh, yeah, my death was ten months ago. I'm buried in the Musutafu's quirkless cemetery," Izuku informs him and Hitoshi feels his heart shatter. "Your father wanted an investigation opened but the Police Force refused because I'm quirkless. They just marked my death as a suicide even though I was very clearly murdered."
'Who did it? Maybe.. maybe I can get my dad to help you get justice,' Hitoshi offers.
Izuku gives him a sad smile before getting closer to him and whispering to him, "It won't change anything. I'm not alive to defend myself even though my defense would be ignored. I'm just a quirkless Deku. There's no help for the quirkless, Hito-kun."
The bell rings and Hitoshi watches as Izuku goes over to the angry blonde who looks worse for wear now that he's really looking at him. His dad enters the classroom not too long later and the man introduces himself. He sneaks a glance over at Izuku and can see the boy buzzing with excitement, a bright smile on his face and his eyes sparkling. When they get to the P.E. field for the Q.A.T, Hitoshi can see Izuku cheering the blonde that he now knows as Bakugou on as he runs through the tests. He felt that it was a bit odd for a spirit to be attached to someone like that but to each their own he guesses.
After his dad releases them all for the day, Hitoshi was a bit sad that Izuku left to go with Bakugou. He was kind of hoping to talk with him some more, maybe ask for tips on how to analyze quirks since the boy definitely seems to have a passion and skill for it given all the ramblings he heard about everyone's quirks. He sits in the teachers lounge sadly as he fiddles with the corner of the page of the book he's continuing to read.
"What's got you so down in the dumps, Tosh?" Shōta asks as he joins him on the couch.
"Do you.. do you remember me telling you that I kept seeing grandma after she died?" Hitoshi asks him and his dad gives him a confused look but nods his head. "He's.. Izuku Midoriya is following Bakugou around. I'm sure you remember the quirkless green haired boy with the freckles that you found the body of ten months ago."
Shōta has a sickly pale look on his face at Hitoshi's words and they have caught the rest of the staff's attention as well, "I.. I never told you about that."
"I know. Midoriya told me this morning when he realized that I could see him. He's a huge fan of yours since you fight quirkless. He was so excited seeing you, his green eyes were sparkling and had the brightest smile I've ever seen on someone's face before," Hitoshi explains. "His neck had a huge ass handprint shaped bruise, his uniform was torn up, his face was busted and his hair was completely matted down with blood. He told me that he's buried in Musutafa's quirkless cemetery. I had asked him who did it but he just told me that it won't change anything and that he's just a Deku."
The staff have all gathered around and listened to Hitoshi describe his encounter with this young spirit. "You.. you said that he's following Bakugou around?" Shōta asks as he takes some calming breaths, he never expected to be hearing about the horror scene that he had found when he saw Izuku's too fresh corpse on the roof of a building.
Hitoshi nods his head, "Yeah but he was cheering Bakugou on the whole time during the Q.A.T so I don't think he did it. I feel like they're friends since he kept calling him 'Kacchan'. He was also rambling the entire time as he analyzed everyone's quirks. I was kinda hoping that he'd stick around for a bit so I could ask him for tips since he's really good at it. You should have heard all the stuff that he was belting out. If he had a notebook and pen, he would have been writing everything down since he was doing the motions for it on his hand."
Shōta is staring at Hitoshi with a heartbroken expression and he nods his head before getting up and grabbing his sleeping bag before digging into it and pulling out a composition notebook then handing it over to Hitoshi. He stares at it for a moment, there's old dried blood on the cover of it but he can clearly see Izuku's name written across it along with a label making it volume thirteen.
He shakily opens it up then jumps a bit when Izuku pops up in front of him, "So that's where my volume thirteen went. Kacchan has been begging my mom for it. Your dad's had it this whole time."
Hitoshi and Izuku stare at each other for a long moment and his dad and the rest of the staff are just staring at him staring at nothing. "Are you wanting him to have it?" Hitoshi asks him.
"I would prefer it but it seems that your dad is emotionally attached to it so he can keep it. You can help me make a new copy for Kacchan since I don't really think he needs a bloody notebook," Izuku answers and everyone in the room is very confused.
"Tosh, who are you talking to?" Shōta asks.
"Midoriya. He um, he says that Bakugou had been looking for this notebook and that you can keep this one if I help him make a new one to give to Bakugou," Hitoshi answers.
Izuku moves over to Shōta who is staring at Hitoshi with wide eyes, "Thank you for finding me, Eraserhead. It's good to know that good heroes still exist."
Hitoshi quickly blinks as tears form in his eyes as he relays the message, "He said, 'Thank you for finding me, Eraserhead. It's good to know that good heroes still exist'."
Shōta struggles to keep his composure in front of his co-workers, "You're welcome, kiddo. Will.. will you tell me who did this to you?"
"No. Like I told your son this morning, it won't change anything," Izuku answers and Hitoshi repeats what was said.
"Don't you want some kind of justice? Maybe closure for your mom and Bakugou?" Shōta asks him.
"My mom doesn't care. She got rid of my stuff the same day you found me. Kacchan had to dig it all out of the trash so he could take it home and hoard it away in his room," Izuku explains as Hitoshi repeats everything.
"Then why not give Bakugou that closure?" Shōta asks him.
Izuku stares at Shōta for a long moment before answering, "Because he's that man's successor." He disappears quickly after that.
"He's gone now dad but before he left he said 'because he's that man's successor'," Hitoshi informs him sadly.
"Just based on that, I'd safely assume that his killer is a Pro-Hero," Nezu says sadly.
"Would a hero really do something like that to a kid?" Mic asks him.
"If the hero has something to hide and if that poor child saw or learned something about the Pro that they wanted to be kept as a secret, then yes, I do believe it," Nezu answers. "May I see that notebook, Hitoshi-kun?" Hitoshi nods his head and passes it over to him as Nezu starts quickly flipping through the pages before pausing in the middle of the notebook, "It looks like All Might has autographed this notebook." Nezu goes back to the beginning and starts reading over everything that was written prior to that, his tail wagging behind him as he reads so they know what's in there is pleasing their boss. Nezu goes past the autographed area and his tail immediately stops wagging and Nezu looks up at Shōta, "Shōta-kun, have you read any of this notebook?"
"I have. The kid is damn good at it. I never went past All Might's giant ass signature though because I assumed that that's where the analysis ended. Is there more?" Shōta asks him.
"Yes and it's most definitely the reason he was killed and I have an idea of who did it as well. I will hold onto this for now," Nezu says as he places the notebook into his vest. "It is best if no one speaks of this ever. If Midoriya-kun decides that he wishes to share with you on who ended his life, then come to my office and I will gladly show you what is written on the pages if my assumption is correct. As for rewriting the analysis before All Might's signature, then you are free to come and do that in my presence, Hitoshi-kun, and I'm sure Midoriya-kun will also be there to prevent you from looking as well as I feel like he wouldn't want you becoming the next victim."
"And what about you? You just read it, aren't you going to be a target as well?" Shōta asks along with the rest of the staff murmuring in agreement.
"No, because I already have knowledge of what was written as the Pro told me themself," Nezu answers before turning on his heel and leaving to go and hide the notebook away.
The next day was the first official day of classes and Hitoshi sees that it's just him, Bakugou and Izuku in the room. Hitoshi gets Izuku's attention and signs to him, 'Do you want Bakugou to know that you're still with him?'
Izuku stares at him for a long moment then at Bakugou. He watches tears form in his eyes as he sniffles, "I don't even know how he'd believe you. Kacchan has a hard time believing things that he can't see for himself."
'Well, you do call him 'Kacchan' so I could use that to convince him,' Hitoshi offers.
"He doesn't like it when other people call him that. I'm the only one who's allowed to do that," Izuku explains.
'It would only be a one time thing. I'm not about to call a personified bomberanian a cute nickname like that. Who do you take me for?' Hitoshi asks and Izuku giggles wetly before nodding his head.
"Okay. You can tell him," Izuku says with a sad smile.
"Bakugou," Hitoshi calls to the blonde who turns a glare over at him.
"What hell do you want?" Bakugou growls and Hitoshi has no idea why Izuku is friends with someone so spicy.
"Midoriya wanted me to let you know that he's still with you. He's standing right in front of you," Hitoshi says before he's being snatched up by the collar of his uniform.
"That's not fucking funny, mind fuck," Bakugou snaps and Hitoshi can smell the burning sugar scent coming from Bakugou's hands as the boy gets angrier.
"I'm not joking. He calls you Kacchan and the Pro who found his body has 'Quirk Analysis for the Future Volume Thirteen' in his possession," Hitoshi explains quickly and Bakugou lets him go as he breathes shakily, clearly fighting back tears.
"He's here? Right now? What does he look like?" Bakugou asks and Hitoshi stares at Izuku.
"Yes, he's right in front of your desk. I'm not really sure if you want me to describe him to you because well.. he's bloody," Hitoshi answers softly and Bakugou shakes his head.
"Tell me exactly what he looks like dammit. I need to know what happened," Bakugou growls as tears run down his cheeks.
Hitoshi swallows thickly before whispering as their classmates start entering the room, "A handprint around his throat, uniform torn up, face busted up, hair matted down with blood. Right now he's staring at you with a sad expression."
Bakugou works on calming himself down as he quickly dries his tears, "I want the notebook. What Pro has it so I can get it back?"
"It was confiscated for now. Midoriya wants me to rewrite it for you as the copy you're wanting is bloody," Hitoshi explains to him and Bakugou slaps his hands on his desk.
"No, I need the original, it needs to be his handwriting, it wouldn't be the same if it were a copy," Bakugou growls out.
"Kacchan.. you really don't want that one, you really don't, it'll hurt you in more ways than one. The truth is in there and it's dangerous. It's best if you get a copy of the stuff I want you to have," Izuku says softly as Hitoshi relays the message.
"The truth? As in who did it?" Bakugou asks.
"Yes," Izuku says softly with Hitoshi giving Bakugou his answer.
"Then I really need the original so I can go and kill this fuck myself," Bakugou states.
"Don't be stupid, Bakugou. Nezu has a theory that it was a Pro," Hitoshi says and Izuku stares at Hitoshi in horror.
"Does Nezu know? Does he know, Hito-kun!?" Izuku asks Hitoshi in a panic as tears prickle in Izuku's eyes. "He can't know, it's not safe for him, he'll get killed!"
"Midoriya, calm down. Nezu said that the stuff after the autograph is information that he already knows which is why he has it locked away from prying eyes," Hitoshi whispers softly.
"Oh no. Eraserhead had it too and you were looking at it as well! Oh no, no, no, no!" Izuku says while still panicking.
"Stop panicking. I never read any of it and my dad thought the analysis ended at the autograph so he never went past it," Hitoshi informs him and Izuku visibly calms down.
"You've seen the notebook yourself?" Bakugou asks him.
"Yes. And like I said before, it's soaked with blood. I guess my dad had it in his possession ever since he found Midoriya's body and Nezu has it locked up to protect everyone," Hitoshi explains.
"If the information about the killer is in there then that means Nezu is protecting the fuck who took my boyfriend from me," Bakugou growls and Hitoshi's eyes widen in shock as now he knows what their relationship was.
"Then that means Midoriya is also protecting the fuck since he keeps refusing to tell us who did it," Hitoshi snaps out.
"I'm not protecting him!" Izuku argues.
"Yes you are. I asked you and my dad asked you and you refused to answer both times. I get that you believe that no one will help you because of your quirk status but we're willing to help you every way that we can," Hitoshi whispers to him as everyone is now in the classroom but he still wants Bakugou to hear what's being said.
"I'm not protecting him, I'm protecting Kacchan," Izuku says with a teary eyed look.
"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings and I get that you're trying to protect Bakugou but what if this guy hurts someone else?" Hitoshi asks him softly.
"Just as long no one knows his truth, then everyone is safe," Izuku sniffles as he stares at Bakugou. "Kacchan already has it in his possession and if he gives it up, there's a good chance he'll lose his quirk and his life along with it. I.. I can't risk losing him, Hito-kun, I don't want to watch the love of my life die and do nothing to save him. This is the only way that I can keep him from suffering the same fate as me. I.. I was originally supposed to receive it but then he found out who my father is and took his hatred for my father out on me then killed me because I knew the truth about him and his quirk. He didn't want me telling anyone, if he learns that I wrote it all down, it'll be disastrous."
Hitoshi is staring at Izuku with teary eyes as he watches the boy cry and then cry some more as he attempts to hug Bakugou. "What's going on?" Bakugou asks.
"He's crying and trying to hug you but can't," Hitoshi whispers and Bakugou just closes his eyes as he lets the tears run down his cheeks.
Hitoshi and Bakugou both have teary eyes when Shōta enters the classroom and he safely assumes that Hitoshi has told Bakugou about Midoriya. He gives the morning announcements before leaving to go and teach his first class of the day. Hitoshi and Bakugou quickly dry up their tears then Hitoshi watches as a look of pure horror forms on Izuku's face as All Might enters the classroom. When All Might gets too close to Izuku, the ghost boy yelps and quickly disappears.
They head to the locker room with their costume cases and Bakugou is sticking close to Hitoshi. "Midoriya yelped and disappeared when All Might got too close to him. When the man entered the classroom, he had a look of just absolute horror. He's definitely afraid of him," Hitoshi whispers to him.
A look of confusion forms on Bakugou's face, "What? That doesn't make sense. Izu is the ultimate All Might fanboy. He literally owns every single collectible, like silver age shit too."
"Something obviously happened though," Hitoshi points out, "No one reacts like that to another being if they weren't afraid."
"That's true but I just can't see that. I know he said more stuff to you that you're not telling me," Bakugou points out as well and Hitoshi sighs softly.
"He.. he had mentioned that he was supposed to receive something from his killer but then the guy found out who his father is and took his hatred for his father out on him and killed him to make sure he didn't tell anyone his secret. Midoriya wrote the secret down in his analysis book which is why he doesn't want anyone reading the whole thing, he doesn't want them suffering the same fate as him. He especially doesn't want to lose you, he said that he doesn't want to watch the love of his life die and not be able to protect you."
Hitoshi watches the gears turning in Bakugou's head as the boy thinks about what he's been told. He can see things beginning to click into place, "Did he mention if I had it?"
"Yes, he said that you do and that if you lose it, then you lose your quirk and your life," Hitoshi answers.
"We're going to talk to Nezu tomorrow. I don't give a shit if Izu protests or if his ghostly ass tries to fight me on it. I have a pretty damn good idea who did it now and I want to kill the bastard," Bakugou growls as he visibly shakes in anger.
When they make it out to Ground Beta, Hitoshi can see the look of pure murderous rage that Bakugou is directing at All Might and now it's starting to click in his head. He quickly glances around and sees that Izuku is still nowhere to be seen so he safely assumes that as soon as this class is over, Izuku will be making his reappearance.
Hitoshi and Bakugou are selected to act as the Heroes and are trying to come up with a plan but Hitoshi can tell that Bakugou is distracted by his thoughts. "We need to tuck it away for now, Bakugou. You can rage tomorrow when you demand Nezu for volume thirteen."
"Yeah. I know. Who was the Pro who found him?" Bakugou asks him. "I know you said your dad but you didn't give me the name of the Pro. I'm safely assuming he's Underground so I promise I ain't going to tell anyone. I.. I just want to thank him for finding him and bringing him home. Izuku was missing for a few days before he was found. They had said that it had only been a couple of hours from the time of his death to when he was found so he was held somewhere first."
"Eraserhead," Hitoshi whispers softly and Bakugou's head snaps up and stares at him in shock.
Bakugou starts laughing wetly, "Found by the hero he was aspiring to be. Fucking awful. Sorry. I'm not good with processing my emotions."
"It's okay. You can tag along with me to the teachers' lounge later and thank him then in private," Hitoshi offers and Bakugou nods his head.
They quickly come up with a plan as Hitoshi remembered some of the things that Izuku was rambling about about their opponents; Tokoyami and Jiro. They go in and overwhelm them with lights and sound and manage to capture the bomb together. They head back into the observation room where All Might starts praising them, "That was some fantastic strategizing, boys!"
"Yeah. Picked up some analysis skills from an old friend," Hitoshi says with a glare on his face.
"Ah! Then you must thank this boy then! He sounds like he's going to have a future in quirk analysis!" All Might states.
"Yeah, let's just pull out the ol' ouija board and do that, Shinsou," Bakugou says while elbowing Hitoshi playfully as they both watch All Might pale.
"Oh. I apologize, I didn't realize," All Might says.
"Oh you will be sorry, you bastard," Bakugou growls under his breath as he and Hitoshi move to a different area in the observation room.
After classes let out for the day, Hitoshi leads Bakugou to the teachers' lounge. Bakugou immediately goes over to Shōta and quickly wraps him up in a hug where he finally breaks and starts sobbing into the man's chest, "You're-you're the one who brought him home. Thank you."
It clicks in Shōta's head on what Bakugou is crying about and thanking him for and he wraps him up in a hug, "Of course."
"He was wanting to be a hero like you, you know. In volume ten, he has at least eight or nine pages on you," Bakugou informs him.
"Don't tell him that!" Izuku squeaks out as he finally makes his reappearance.
"Midoriya says not to tell him that," Hitoshi giggles wetly as he wipes the tears off his face.
"Well that's too damn bad. I'm going to bring it with me tomorrow and show him," Bakugou teases as he pulls away from hugging Shōta and wipes his own tears off of his face.
"No! Don't do that! That's embarrassing!" Izuku says in protest.
"He's saying not to do that, it's embarrassing," Hitoshi says.
"Yeah, embarrassed that you'd sneak out at night so you could catch Undergrounds in action like a drug addict looking for their next fix but instead of drugs it was quirks to study, ya damn nerd," Bakugou continues to tease him.
"Shut up, Kacchan!" Izuku squeaks out.
"He says to shut up and he sounds all squeaky," Hitoshi teases him next and Izuku gives him a betrayed look.
"You two sound like good friends," Shōta compliments.
"Boyfriends," Bakugou corrects and Shōta gives him a look of surprise. "Izu was, or well is, my boyfriend. In life or death, he's still going to be mine and I'm going to be his."
"Oh Kacchan," Izuku says softly as he floats around Bakugou in what Hitoshi is assuming is how Izuku has been loving up on Bakugou since his death and it hurts his heart to see how desperate Izuku is to give Bakugou affection.
The next day, Hitoshi and Bakugou head straight to Nezu’s office as soon as the blonde arrives with Izuku following after them in confusion as he doesn't know what the two have figured out and what they are about to do. Bakugou slams open Nezu’s office door and the rat looks surprised at the action, "Give volume thirteen over, I know who killed my boyfriend and I want to see it with my own two eyes."
"What?! No! No! No! Kacchan, no!" Izuku pleads as he starts trying to attempt to stop Bakugou. "Hito-kun! Stop him! No!"
"Bakugou. He doesn't want you to see it," Hitoshi informs him. Hitoshi himself is extremely nervous about the notebook knowing that it contains information that is such a guarded secret that it warrants death to those who shouldn't know about it.
"Who do you believe to be the killer and why?" Nezu asks him kindly and Hitoshi is so glad that Nezu isn't just going to simply hand it over without hearing verbal confirmation from Bakugou himself.
"It was All Might. He was going to give One For All to Izuku until he learned that Izuku is All For One's son which is why the blonde fuck killed him. He wasn't about to give a quirk over to a villain's son and he most certainly wasn't going to let him live with the secret," Bakugou answers and Hitoshi is staring at Izuku with wide eyes as the green haired boy stares at Bakugou with his shocked expression. "Am I right, nerd? It was All Might wasn't it? And now I'm stuck with this fucking quirk that I have no idea what to do with now."
Izuku starts floating around Bakugou as he cries, "Yes. I'm sorry, Kacchan, I'm so sorry."
"He's saying yes and that he's sorry. He's also floating around you so I'm assuming that that's how he's been hugging you," Hitoshi relays the message.
"It's alright, Izu. I'm not angry at you, I'm angry for you so don't be apologizing to me," Bakugou soothes and Hitoshi watches as Izuku is very desperate to physically touch Bakugou but can't.
Nezu sets the bloody notebook on his desk and Hitoshi watches as Bakugou completely shatters. The blonde shakily picks it up as tears run down his face. He starts flipping through the pages and pauses on the autograph before continuing and starts reading it. Hitoshi definitely doesn't want to know more than he already does so he keeps himself on the other side of the room.
"I'm keeping this. I promise that no one will see it but.. but I need it to be with the others, they all need to be with me, they are all that I physically have left of him," Bakugou sniffles and Nezu nods his head.
"Of course, Bakugou-kun, be sure to keep that one locked up well," Nezu says softly and Bakugou nods his head as he holds it against his chest.
Bakugou made sure to keep it close by the entire day. Hitoshi couldn't get over the fact that he was carrying around something covered in blood then he remembers that his own father carried it around as well for ten months straight. During the break in, Hitoshi watched as Bakugou held his backpack close to his body in order to protect it from any form of harm and then after school, he and his dad drove Bakugou home to make sure it wasn't snatched while on the train.
No one informed his dad of who had killed Izuku and he could see that it was bothering his father as the man definitely wants some closure. "It was All Might, dad. Midoriya was the son of his nemesis so he ended his life. Nezu told us to keep things quiet as he works on figuring out how to bring him down without spilling information that could put Bakugou in danger."
Shōta has a look of horror on his face as he drives, "This man is around children and he killed an innocent child because of who the boy's father is. That's wrong, Tosh."
"I know, dad, but we can't do anything drastic as shit can and will hit the fan," Hitoshi says softly and Shōta nods his head in understanding.
The next day, they went to the USJ and Hitoshi watched Izuku with a soft smile on his face as the boy was completely lit up and excited about seeing the inside of the building. Everything was going fine until the villains showed up and he and Bakugou were dropped into the ruins zone and fighting off villains together. They fight their way through to get back to the center plaza where Hitoshi screams in horror at watching this nomu thing beat his dad into the cement. He watches Izuku rush over and slip into the nomu who starts clawing at its own head as it stumbles away from his dad who he then rushes up to.
"Dad!" Hitoshi shouts as tears run down his face and he could see his dad breathing but the breathing was shallow so he hopes that emergency services will arrive on time to save him.
"The fuck is that thing doing?" Bakugou asks as the class gathers around to protect their downed teacher.
"Midoriya slipped his way inside it so I think it's just freaking out," Hitoshi answers and everyone looks confused by that as Bakugou smirks.
"Hell yeah. Even in death the damn nerd is still fearless," Bakugou says as the nomu screeches and the villain barks orders at it to try and get it to listen.
It stops moving and just stands there with its head hanging a bit before it snaps back to attention and Hitoshi and Bakugou can both see that the nomu's eyes are now green. "Nomu! Finish Eraserhead off and kill those kids!"
Izuku scoffs using the nomu's body, "I don't know what a nomu is but I can tell you that you're a piece of shit!"
"What?!" The villain shouts angrily.
"The misty dude mentioned The League of Villains so my father is running this little show?"
The villain stares at the Izuku possessed nomu for a second, "Izuku?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out," Izuku answers and Bakugou and Hitoshi can't help but to snort.
"But you weren't turned into a nomu! You were buried in the quirkless cemetery as my sensei didn't want to use his own son's corpse!" The villain shouts at him and Hitoshi can see the looks of horror appear on his classmates faces.
"I know, I'm a ghost that possessed your little pet, dipshit. I'm just waiting to see if All Might will arrive so I can give him a taste of his own medicine while using this creature," Izuku explains.
"The fuck is that supposed to mean?" The villain asks.
"Who do you think killed me to begin with?" Izuku asks and the class all gasps in horror.
"I AM HERE!" All Might shouts out before jumping down the stairs.
"Hello Toshinori Yagi," Izuku greets and All Might freezes. "Do you recognize my voice? Or maybe you will remember me by my name, Izuku Midoriya. Or maybe my quirk status, quirkless. Being a ghost makes it hard to get revenge but possessing and taking over this creature's body definitely makes it possible."
All Might looks pale as he stares at Izuku getting closer to him. He glances over at the student for a second before Izuku is regaining his attention,"Nuh-uh-uh, don't look to them for assistance and especially don't look at Katsuki since I'm willing to do something that I know he wants to do to you for killing me. Maybe not assume that nobody will miss a quirkless person if you don't know that your own damn successor is dating the boy that you brutally murdered because you wanted revenge against my father for killing your mentor. So you killed your nemesis' son who only knows very little information about the man as he was never around his father, for very obvious reasons being that he's a notorious quirk stealing super villain."
Hitoshi and the rest of the class all scoop up his dad to the best of their ability to carry him up the stairs and away from the fight that is now taking place between Izuku and All Might.
"For someone who's quirkless, he seems to know how to use that thing's body," Kirishima comments.
"Izu is a master at analysis. He only needs to watch a fight for a few minutes before he has you figured out," Bakugou explains.
"So that's who you were signing to on the first day of school?" Koda asks Hitoshi softly and Hitoshi blushes a bit.
"Yeah. I um. I can see and talk to the spooks," Hitoshi admits sheepishly.
"Dude! That's cool as fuck!" Kaminari says in excitement and Hitoshi just nods his head, he's not sure what to make of that.
They make it to the top of the stairs and see Izuku and All Might still going at it and Hitoshi can see a feral smile forming on Bakugou's face as he watches, "Tick tock, the clock is ticking down, Ass Might. About to go poof, Small Might form."
Hitoshi was a bit confused by the commentary but continues to watch then sees exactly what he was talking about when All Might's buff form turns into skeleton form and Izuku doesn't hesitate to smack him down into the cement and beat him to death.
"Looks like karma came back and bit the fuck in the ass," Shōta says before coughing a bit as he sits up on his own.
Hitoshi wraps him up in a gentle hug as he sniffles, "Dad."
"I know, Tosh. I'll be alright. I heard what you said about Midoriya possessing that thing so he saved me before it could do some serious damage," Shōta says softly as Hitoshi just nuzzles his dad's shoulder, trying to soothe himself.
They see that the villain and the misty dude are gone and then the nomu just goes limp and stands there unmoving. "Kacchan? Are you okay?" Izuku asks as he joins back up with him.
"Midoriya wants to know if you're okay, Bakugou," Hitoshi informs him.
"Of course I'm fine, nerd, you don't need to be asking the future number one that!" Bakugou says with a smirk on his face as Izuku smiles at him softly.
"That's great, Kacchan, I'm glad that you are but it's time for me to go now," Izuku says sadly and Hitoshi relays the message.
"What? What do you mean by that?" Bakugou asks as tears form in his eyes.
"I got my closure, Kacchan, it's time for me to leave for good," Izuku explains with Hitoshi telling him as he tears up as well.
"No. No you can't leave me again, Izuku! I need you here with me! I can't become a hero by myself! I need you by my side! We're supposed to become The Wonder Duo together!" Bakugou pleads with him.
Izuku looks at Hitoshi and he knows exactly what the green haired boy is about to do to him as he possesses Hitoshi's body, "You don't need me to become a hero, Kacchan. You have my notebooks so use them to your advantage and instill myself into you that way I'm always with you." Izuku uses Hitoshi's body to hug and kiss Bakugou, "I love you, Kacchan. At least this way, we both get to say goodbye."
"I love you too, Izu," Bakugou chokes out.
Izuku slips out of Hitoshi and gives the purple haired boy a small smile, "Thank you for helping me, Hito-kun. Be Kacchan's friend for me, he's going to need a good friend like you. Goodbye."
Hitoshi watches Izuku change into his nonbloody self and the boy gives him a bright teary smile as he fades away. "He's gone, Bakugou." Bakugou chokes out a sob before he's grabbing onto him and just sobs into his shoulder. "He didn't look beat up and bloody anymore as he left so he got his closure."
Bakugou cries for a little longer before he speaks in a wobbly voice, "Damn nerd. Now I need to learn how to do analysis."
