Chapter Text
Yoichi groaned and stretched before flopping back in his chair,
"I had the worst nightmare..." Yoichi mumbled, not to anyone specific
"Oh yeah? About what?" En asked, intrigued
"I.. I some how cut my hair and-and it looked horrible, and if THAT weren't bad enough, I tried to dye it!!
Which, I'm all for, if it was a cute color. But I dyed it RED!" Yoichi cried out,
Someone suddenly gasped behind him, "Ohmygod- the horrors!"
Yoichi turned to see-.....
himself??
and... every other .. re-make.. of the other users as well.
What the hell?
"Who the hell are you?" Second stood up, facing the hostiles
"Relax, I think I know what is happening." other Second raised his arms in a non-violent gesture before continuing
"Our Ninth got hit with a quirk and we all suddenly appeared here in the middle of... Yoichi's spiel, I'm assuming you all are us from an alternative universe if Ninth's comprehension of the enemy's quirk was correct."
As Second watched his other-self walk up to Yoichi, placing his hand on his shoulder in a comforting way, he felt remorse
"What timeline are you all from.."
Other Seventh spoke up, "We are from April of 20XX, Ninth, who is Izuku Midoriya, is currently on his own searching for both Tomura Shigaraki and All For One."
Fourth cut Second off before he could respond, "Oh, so you are from the past..."
"Clearly, you imbecile." Second spat at Fourth, before turning to confront the other- past users, who seemed shocked, "We are 7 months ahead of you all, in nearly about a month or so, Ninth d-"
"I'm sorry but... I must ask," Other Seventh cut him off, "why did you speak to Shinomori like that?"
"Oh.. right." said Yoichi bluntly.
""Oh, right" what?", Other Fourth questioned, probably curious of Second's own hostility towards his future self
"It's.... complicated.." Second filled in,
"How is it complicated to you, you're the one whose so clearly aggressive here, man." past Fifth asked
"You wouldn't be able to comprehend, is what I mean, Fourth." Second retaliated, gritting his teeth
"I agree with Second on this" En chuckled,
"Fuck off, Sixth. You can suck my dick."
"Like the way you did with Yoichi?" Shimura rebutted,
"Alright, that's enough!" Past Shimura yelled out, "What is with you all? Why are you acting like this?? Where's Ninth? Surely he's kept his wits."
"I agree, we'd like to see Ninth, please." Past Yoichi asked politely, even giving a small smile to appease the frustration
Future Yoichi slightly winced, "I mean.. sure, go right ahead, you can visit him in the modern world. He's simply walking to school right now."
"Perfect, thank you!" Past Yoichi turned around to the other past users, "shall we go, my heroes?"
---
"Hello, Ninth. Glad to see you are doing so well." I turned around to see Yoichi standing behind him- with every other user as well.
What the hell were they doing?
My heart started to race,
Yoichi and the others seemed displeased when I had actually turned around, as if upon seeing my face
I gave a small huff, "What the hell do you need, now?" I mumbled, shoving the fear down
Thankfully, that was easy enough. As my anger grew upon seeing Yoichi.
"What...?" Yoichi seemed bewildered, which- why?? It doesn't even make sense? We literally like hate each other.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?? Why are you acting..? I mean-" I sputtered while trying to question them
"Language!" Shimura cried out-
Wait.
is she joking.
"LANGUAGE!?" I cried out, "I'm pretty sure I've heard much worse from the likes of you!!!"
"Okay, Let us explain." Second interjected, putting his arm out in front of Shimura
"What the fuck is there to explain??"
"That we aren't your current users."
"What."
"We're from the past- I.. from when you were on your own... looking for Tomura Shigaraki and.. my brother", Yoichi- Past Yoichi? explained.
"Oh. Oh. Which means- Oh. That makes more sense."
"Yes-" a pause, before Shimura continued, "I'm sorry, but I'm terribly confused. Things don't seem to be that great, Izuku.. Second- your Second- was extremely aggressive and then Other me said- I just... Why would she even say such a thing!?.... Even if Yoichi and Second are a thing-" Yoichi and Second immediately sputtered, "to say such a thing is.. I mean it's repulsive!" She cried out.
I tilted my head at them, before deciding how to respond, "I'm... not entirely sure what she said, but I know things get... crazy in there. You're just lucky they didn't start fighting.."
"But they were fighting, the insults and shade they were throwing was crazy wack, man!" Banjou explained
"No- I... I don't mean just insulting each other.. I mean like... physically..."
All of their eyes widened, but Shinomori spoke first,
"It's that bad...?"
"Yes... has been for a while now."
"And how does that affect you, Ninth?" Second questioned, with a hardened look on his face
I felt my eyes widen at his question. Yes, yes, he actually thought of me.
"oh.." I just kinda blurted
"Oh?" Third questioned
"No, I- I just.. wasn't expecting that.. uhm, I..."
En sort of.. scrunched his nose, "What do you mean by that?"
"I... haven't really had anyone- especially you all- ask me that in a moment.. that's all.." I explained sheepishly, "I guess.. I'm fine."
"You guess you're fine? Doesn't really sound like you're fine, kid." Banjou said- but softly- softer than I had heard in a long while
"Yeah, well.. What am I gonna do, go die in a ditch?" I questioned bluntly, "Look," sigh "this has been great and all but.. I gotta get to school..sorry."
I turned around, un-beknowing of their horrified faces.
--
"Well, that was mortifying." Shinomori laid it on flat,
"What the fuck is wrong with future us." Second gritted his teeth, "Don't they see the pain their Ninth is in? I mean, my god, did you SEE his eyebags??"
Shimura joined in, "Not just that.. but.. his eyes.. they seemed so- he seems so just.. lost. So.."
"Hopeless." Yoichi answered, knowing such a look too well- except he was more used to seeing it on his own face. Seeing it on a teenager- a kid.. his heart ached.
"And he said they get physical too, what the hell!!??" Banjou hollered
"I can only imagine how terrifying that could be to the kid," Third pondered, "not to mention dangerous."
"Definitely not the type of thing to do around a teenager." En jeered.
--
"So, what the hell is you're guys' problem?" Banjou started, and honestly, this was the exact energy they needed, Past Second thought
Yet no one answered....
"Answer his question, now." Past Shimura followed up.
"It's vague as fuck. So which part are you idiots asking about." Second spat out
"Literally all of it??? I mean, oh my god, do you not even care about Izuku??"
"Of course we do."
"Really. Really, then. Why THE HELL did Izuku mention you all fighting physically?" Past Nana Shimura was like a hen, ready for the pecking at all those who threatened her flock, her lil' chickling, hell- all of the Past One For All users were, that was their Ninth.
"You act as if future you hasn't participated in said fights," Second continued, "actually, not three days ago did you fight with Yoichi- and got your ass kicked, may I say."
Past Yoichi gaped, outcrying "Why would I ever do such a thing?!"
"Shimura said-... well that's not important.." Second deflected.
"But I love Shimura! We both love to fuss about Ninth, it's our favorite thing to do together!"
No one coddled Ninth as much as those two did, their coddling went unmatched.
"Agreed!" Past Shimura cried out
"Wow... do I really miss those days..." Shimura admitted.
"Of course, as do I.." Yoichi also agreed.
"Then do it!" Past Yoichi & Shimura concurred, "Don't you just love Izuku's little freckles!?"
"Oh, they are absolutely a-dor-a-ble" Shimura acknowledged,
"More than adorable- try like- life ending." Present Yoichi agreed again.
"ulgh, absolutely- and his fluffy lil' curls!" Shimura cooed-
It wasn't long for those two to just fall into a rant of how amazing Ninth was-
Present Yoichi feeling guiltier and guiltier by the minute about how their relationship has gone- oh how he misses Izuku's big ol' derpy smile!
"Now, Future me, why the hell are you so aggro towards everyone?" Second questioned,
"I'm not."
"Yes, you are. And honestly- since you apparently like throwing your fist so much-"
Past Second walked over to his future self, grabbing him by the front of the shirt, "STOP BEING AN IMBECILE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? GODDAMN NINTH HATES US, HATES, THE LITERAL CINNAMON ROLL. DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY WE'VE FUCKED UP TO MAKE HIM HATE US!?"
Present Second's eyes widen, "There's no way he hates us- surely?"
"He'd rather die in a ditch than spend another moment with us." Okay- that was a little untrue, but it got the job done if Present Second collapsing to the floor and muttering said anything.
"I have to apologize." He seemingly came to the conclusion of, "but how?..."
"Perhaps by starting with the people around you." Past Second drug his future self to Future Shinomori, "Apologize."
"I'm sorry, Fourth." Present Second blurted.
Fourth just stayed frozen, shell shocked
"On to the next one." Past Second declared, marching to the vault door to the real world
"Wait-" Third blurted, "I... Should probably come along and apologize too.."
"What did you do wrong?" Second questioned
"Yeah, I haven't seen you do anything inherently bad other than not doing anything to stop this." En commented
"I punched Ninth."
"Yup, never mind. You're coming along- and apologizing first. I wanna see you on your knees." Past Second said, while grabbing Third by the arm
"I wasn't aware you saw me like that, Leader..."
"NOT LIKE THAT!! TO NINTH, BOW TO NINTH! BEG FOR FORGIVENESS.... GOD ALMIGHTY.."
"Wait! I wanna come along!" Present Yoichi jumped up,
I have to apologize, I've waited long enough, he thought.
"I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE BEG FOR ME, OKAY? YOICHI, I DON'T CARE IF WE'RE A THING IN THE FUTURE. APOLOGIZING. NINTH. NOW."
Yoichi went redder than a tomato, "what?"
--
I was barely in the hallway after class when Second-
Is this past or present Second?? uhh- he's dragging me to the bathroom.
He slammed the door behind himself and Other Second, Third, and Yoichi appeared
"Ninth, we are so sorry."
"Now grovel, Third."
"But.. but it's the bathroom.."
"NOW."
Third got on his knees and bowed deeply- his face touching the floor,
"I am so sorry for accidentally injuring you, Ninth."
"Call him lord."
"... I am so sorry for accidentally injuring you... lord."
...
Izuku seemed frozen in shock.
"Uhm.. Can I get up now?" Third asked,
"Not until he accepts your apology."
Izuku kinda gulped, his eyes watering with tears, "you really mean it..?"
"Absolutely." All three guilty responded.
"'Kay.. then lets try for a fresh start.. y-yeah..?" He kinda sniffed, wiping his eyes
"Of course, Izuku." Yoichi gushed, "Thank you so much for this chance to restart- and I'm so sorry- would you like a hug??"
"Uhm.. Sure.."
"YES! Uh- I mean, okay, Izuku!"
Izuku enjoyed the long long (really long- like late for class long) hug.
Hopefully Aizawa would just be glad with his improved mood.
And after class- a long long long nap awaited me.
