(3rd Person)

It was the day after Midoriya had met his new friend, he was currently exiting his middle school with everyone passing by him either talking to each other, or on their phones checking the recent hero news. Midoriya was no different as he too was currently searching through articles, specifically any on his favourite hero: All Might. Most of the day yesterday was Midoriya talking to (Y/N) about All Might as he patiently listened while munching on the candy he got from Lydia, Midoriya wanted to show his Mom that he made a new friend so she wouldn't worry too much about him, however, before he could bring up the question he had to leave.

Midoriya since then couldn't stop thinking about his new friend, he had hoped to see him again since it was the first time in forever that he could be himself in front of someone: the nerd who enjoyed heroes so much, and not be judged by whomever was listening. He sighed to himself, scrolling through his phone when Midoriya suddenly felt like he walked into a brick wall again, instead of the same events of yesterday repeating however, two hands shot out, one grabbing onto Midoriya's arm while the other caught his cell phone. Midoriya was confused, and looked up with a hum.

Only to see the scarf wearing friend he was thinking about staring right at him with concern, Midoriya could easily tell he was asking a silent question when he pulled him up, straightening up and bowing his thanks.

Midoriya: Thank you (L/N), I'm fine. Guess I was just... wait... (L/N)!!!??? W-what are you!? How did you know where my school was!?

(Y/N) simply poked Midoriya's jacket, showing the school uniform making Midoriya sigh to himself.

Midoriya: Of course, the uniform is a dead giveaway. Oh, I'm sorry, I must be so rude: you came all this way just to hang out, right? And here I am...

He was quickly silenced by (Y/N) who placed a hand over his mouth before the boy could go off on another muttering fest like last time... boy that was a long time (Y/N) was waiting for Midoriya to finish his mumblings.

(Y/N): 'I did come to see if you wanted to hang out, Aunt Lydia's busy being a hero, Mark and Mina are arguing again and I thought it's be nice to see you again.'

Midoriya: Thank you for taking time to hang out with me (Y/N), otherwise I probably would've just been at the computer again.

(Y/N): 'Wow, you have a computer!? I've never used one before!'

Midoriya: Seriously!? Oh, wow, we gotta get you to my computer right away!

(Y/N) nods in agreement. What the two failed to notice, was a certain individual with blonde hair and red eyes who had been staring at them for a while. His original intention was to terrorise the green-haired nerd, but when he started talking to another person, smiling at them and then walk off with them. It made the blonde both curious, confused... and some other emotion he couldn't recognise.

(Timeskip)

After a long walk which mostly consisted of (Y/N) listening to Midoriya talk about heroes, they had finally arrived at Midoriya's home, which seemed to be an apartment. He smiled widely and turned to (Y/N) who had adjusted his scarf so it didn't hang too loosely off him.

Midoriya: I know you'll like my Mom, she's a nice woman with a very kind personality. Oh, and please, don't be afraid to ask for anything if you're thirsty, hungry, tired...

Again (Y/N) stopped Midoriya from rambling by tapping his shoulder, Midoriya shook his head before apologising and unlocking the door. He took his shoes off while (Y/N) walked in, copying Midoriya's actions.

Midorya: Let me go get the computer ready! Just stay here and make yourself comfortable, ok?

He ran off before (Y/N) could answer, he looked around seeing it was a fairly small but comfortable apartment, plenty of items hung on the wall: family photos, a clock, decorations, oh, and there's even an All Might wall decoration too...

???: Izuku? Are you home? I heard the door unlock.

(Y/N) turned, and then saw someone appear from around the corner.

???: Izu-

Her setence stopped as she stared at (Y/N), the woman was someone with a chubby frame, green hair tied into a long ponytail. Her eyes green and wide as they stared at (Y/N). Before he could raise a hand to greet her, (Y/N) felt something clonk him in the middle of his face. He opened his eyes to see he was hit in the face with a spatula. He knew that because the thing was still stuck to his face.

Midoriya: Mom! What're you doing to (L/N)!?

Instantly, her face became one of confusion and regret as she realised that Izuku most likely brought a friend home. She used her quirk to bring the spatula back to her before suddenly bursting into tears.

Midoriya's Mom: I'm so sorry! I just panicked because I thought it was an intruder, and when this boy who I've never seen with that weird looking scarf was standing there, I thought the worst and couldn't help but retaliate! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

(Y/N) meanwhile kept a straight face the whole time, he could see where Midoriya got his secret power of crying uncontrollably from. He witnessed said power when (Y/N) called Midoriya a good friend yesterday. Speaking of crying... Midoriya's now crying, hugging his mother and assuring her it was ok and no one was hurt. (Y/N) just stood back, rubbing the back of his head while he allowed the mother-son duo to have their moment.

When they finally calmed down, Midoriya dragged his mother to the living room where (Y/N) followed. He politely waited until both Midoriyas were sitting before he took his own seat. He smiled at seeing them both wiping each other's eyes while still sniffling.

Izuku: Oh yeah, Mom, I suppose you know each other already. But, this is (Y/N) (L/N). Despite not knowing each other for a while, we've already become good friends. I invited him over to try out the computer, if you don't mind...

Inko: Of course not! It's nice to meet you, my name's Inko Midoriya, I'm Izuku's mother. It's so nice to hear he's made a good friend, after all, I thought his fondess and nerdiness for heroes, specifically All Might would cause him to be an outcast.

Izuku: Mom!!

(Y/N): 'It's no problem, Midoriya's a good friend Mrs Midoriya. Though, he could do without that muttering habit of his if I'm being honest.'

Inko: Oh! Sign language! It's been so long since I've met anyone who uses it! 'And yes, I agree he needs to cut it out with the muttering habit.'

Izuku: (L/N)! Mom! Please stop!!

Inko let out a small laugh and (Y/N) grew an amused smile, Izuku merely hid his face in shame and embarrasment. But then, he let out a sigh and looked at (Y/N) with a tired look.

Izuku: Anyway, we should...

He was instantly interrupted by the sound of the buzzer, everyone turned with a confused look at the door. Izuku turned to his mother.

Izuku: Were you... expecting anyone Mom?

Inko: N-no, you?

That made them slightly more confused considering no one arranged anything today. (Y/N) stood up along with Izuku, however Inko instantly got them to sit down as she went to answer the door. A minute of waiting later and they could hear someone else enter the home, their footsteps matching with Inko's as she entered the room.

Inko: Uh... Izuku...

Izuku went wide-eyed at the person who entered after his mother. Fear and confusion filled his system when he saw the blonde hair and red eyes.

Izuku: K-Kacchan...

(Y/N) however was confused, whoever this boy was Izuku was afraid of. However, his mother seemed to both not understand this and know the boy who just entered. What was even more confusing was the fact that this boy was changing glares, going from Izuku to him and back again.

(In Izuku's room)

The three sat in different parts of the room. Izuku on his chair with his arms resting on the back part as he stared at the boy he calls Kacchan who was only glaring holes at him. Meanwhile (Y/N) was looking at the amount of All Might merchandise Izuku owned, tapping his chin while nodding to himself as he looked around.

Izuku: So... Kacchan...

Kacchan: Who's the other loser?

Izuku: Oh! He's (Y/N) (L/N), (L/N), this is Katsuki Bakugou.

(Y/N) turned with a confused look.

(Y/N): 'I thought his name was Kacchan?'.

Bakugou: What?

Izuku: He thought your name was the nickname I give you.

Bakugou: Tch, (L/N) huh? Tell me, when did you meet Deku?

(Y/N): 'Deku?'.

Izuku: He calls me that because I'm always useless at everything.

(Y/N): 'Well, that's mean'.

Bakugou: For the love of... speak clearly you stupid scarf bastard! I can't stand the fact that only Deku knows what you're saying!

While Izuku was frightened, (Y/N) didn't seem fazed, instead he turned towards Bakugou, his arms crossed before he grabbed an All Might notebook Izuku owned and started writing using and All Might pen with his smiling face at the top.

(Y/N): 'I apologise if you can't understand sign language, however you don't need to curse.'

Bakugou: I can do whatever I want you extra! You listen here, being around Deku's the worst thing you can do right now. He's a quirkless nobody who can't do anything right. If you got any brains up in there, you better get out and never talk to shitty Deku again, otherwise things might not go well for you...

His threat was shown when Bakugou's hand started creating mini explosions as he got close to (Y/N)'s face, Izuku was panicking. Both at (Y/N) getting hurt by Bakugou and that now that Bakugou's gotten to (Y/N) he'll lose his new friend. He even started tearing up, imagining (Y/N) leaving due to Bakugou's intimidation. However...

(Y/N) grabbed Bakugou's exploding palm, surprising everyone as he held said palm in front of Bakugou, he was trying his hardest not to glare considering that would activate his quirk. However, he gave Bakugou a disapproving look instead. He then used his other hand to show he'd written on the notebook beforehand.

(Y/N): 'I'm not going to listen to an asshole who bullies a guy like Izuku, someone amazing who doesn't deserve your shit'.

Bakugou growled, ripping his palm out of (Y/N)'s grip and growing even angrier. He got up in (Y/N)'s face, his eyes glaring right into his soul, trying to make another submit to him, however, he quickly looked away with a scoff as he realised (Y/N) wasn't budging.

Bakugou: Fine, hang out with shitty Deku, but, if you think that being with that nerd is a good thing. Better watch your back, because if there's anything I hate more than Deku himself, it's the fact that there's someone around who can make him smile.

At that, the explosive boy left the room, slamming the door with Izuku breathing out a breath he didn't realise he'd been holding in. Meanwhile, (Y/N) was simply staring at the door, thinking about Katsuki Bakugou before a small smile appeared on his face.

(Y/N): 'You can fool everyone else Katsuki Bakugou... but, you're not pulling the wool over my eyes with that attitude of yours.'

Izuku: I... I'm so sorry for how Kacchan treated you, if, if you don't want to hang out anymore... that's fine, I understand...

Izuku never expected being slapped across the head causing him to fall face-first to the floor. When he pushed himself up with small tears appearing in his eyes, he saw his notebook being slid in front of his face, he gasped at what he read.

(Y/N): 'So what? Just because you're being harassed by one jerk doesn't mean I don't want to hang out with you, what matters at the end of the day is who you are, and I can easily tell Izuku Midoriya that you're a person I'd always want to be my friend, so, that's why from now on, just to prove that guy wrong. I think I'll call you Deku as well, but, don't think of it as an insult, but as a friendly nickname from your best friend.'

Izuku looked up, his eyes teary as he stared right at (Y/N) who was awaiting his answer with his arms crossed and a blank look on his face.

Izuku: You... really mean that!? You'll still be my friend even though I'm a quirkless Deku who's terrified of his childhood friend?

(Y/N)'s response was by pulling out two lollipops from his pocket, one he unwrapped and stuck in his mouth. The other he held out to Izuku, he couldn't help it. He grabbed the lollipop while his tears stained the wooden floor while (Y/N) crouched next to him, patting his back while continuing to swirl the lollipop in his mouth. He spotted the thankful gaze of Inko who was peeking throught the door after hearing Katsuki slam Izuku's bedroom door shut and storm out of the apartment.

(Timeskip)

Again, after things settled down. Inko offered (Y/N) and Izuku to watch a hero movie based on All Might while they all drank tea she brew, (Y/N) hasn't had much tea in his life. But, he knew for a fact that Inko Midoriya could definitely brew something wonderful, it was nearing the end of the movie when (Y/N) felt something hit his shoulder. He turned, seeing Izuku fast asleep and resting on his shoulder.

Inko spotted the scene with a fond smile, looking at (Y/N) while pausing the movie.

Inko: Looks like he thinks of you as a great friend (Y/N), he trusts you enough to rest on you. Almost like a brother.

That made (Y/N) recall his friendship with Mark, the two of them were also considered brothers as well, however Mark never did anything like this. Anytime they watched a movie, Mark would always be wide awake, and even in the slight chance that he fell asleep, he wouldn't rest on (Y/N)'s shoulder.

Inko: I think it's late enough young man, time for Izuku's bedtime. And... time for you to go home too.

(Y/N) nodded, carefully placing Izuku on the sofa so that Inko could pick him up and carry him to his room. After a minute of waiting, he saw Inko quietly close Izuku's door while still smiling widely. She then walked up to (Y/N), patting his arm.

Inko: I'm, extremely grateful that Izuku met you. He needs friends to be happy, and... to protect him. I think he's being bullied but he won't tell me... so, can you...

He only placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, growing a massive smile and nodding, accepting the offer as Inko had tears at the corner of her eyes.

Inko: Thank you (Y/N) (L/N), for making Izuku smile again. Goodnight.

(Y/N) nodded, heading out the door and walking across the apartments. Though while he walked, he noticed the time being close to midnight. He was over Izuku's apartment for the whole day... but he didn't regret it... the hardest part for him though was the fact that he was going home, sighing to himself he reluctantly started to to walk the path back to the house where he lived, although... tomorrow was going to change both Izuku and (Y/N)'s lives forever...

To be continued...

(A/N): And, we're done! I might as well have called all three chapters the prologues considering next chapter is when the events of Boku No Hero Academia finally start. I just wanted to give people closure, that even though (Y/N) wasn't a part of Izuku's school, he will be his best friend. As for Mark, well, he too is going to be apart of this story. If you remember from the description of this story: 'A Trio', that trio is of course (Y/N), Mark... and NOT Izuku. Yep! That's right, the third person is someone who has yet to be introduced! Anyways, thank you guys and gals so much for the continued support and as always: eat one or more brownies every day!!!!
