Chapter Text
"Pro heroes are always having to risk their lives. Some villains just can’t be beaten without powers. So no, I honestly don’t think you could become a hero without a Quirk."
Izuku's breath caught in his throat. He could barely hear the rest of what the man had to say over the rush in his ears.
"It’s not bad to have a dream, young man. Just… make sure your dreams are attainable. Realistic. Understand?"
And he could only bring himself to nod as the no.1 hero left.
He stood, frozen and unsure for what was probably minutes, but felt like hours. All of his hope, all of his efforts, spent on a dream that was unattainable.
It wasn't like he hadn't heard it before, but this was somehow different, more real. It wasn't like he could just ignore the All Might.
Useless.
Quirkless.
DEKU.
He let out a bitter laugh as he realized he was crying. What did he have to cry about! He had a house but it was never a home , he got food and had good grades he knew he was marked down for just existing, how dare the quirkless kid get higher than a C he had it so much better than most quirkless kids nowadays. He knew the statistics, he knew he should be dead by now.
do it, deku
coward
He scrubbed away his tears
”Can’t stop your pity party even now, huh”
He barely felt anything as he stepped over the railing.
you cant be a hero
be realistic
take a swan dive off the roof and hope for a quirk in the next life!
I cant believe you'd do this to me, Izuku
with his mothers words ringing in his ears, he let out a chuckle,
"I guess you were right kacchan, as always, I really am hopeless.”
A deep breath.
”I'll see you in the next life."
and with those words, he stepped off the edge.
