Chapter 3
(1st Person (Y/N))
The morning starts like always... the bright sun entering my vision through the window as I groaned while looking over at the digital clock next to me. The time's seven already? Just like usual, I don't even yawn as I get up from bed, allowing the blanket to fall down and reveal the bare chest of mine since I never wore a shirt to bed. I cracked my neck while stretching my arms, I knew I only had about thirty minutes so I couldn't waste time. I quickly hopped out of bed, grabbing a dressing robe on the way so that my upper body was covered too, I was currently wearing a pair of pyjama shorts that most people would wear to bed, unlike everyone else who probably has them as their favourite heroes, TV shows or whatnot, I've simply got a simply pair of black shorts... oh yeah, and I sleep with my scarf on too.
Opening my bedroom door, I peek out into the hallway, nodding to myself as I quietly closed the door behind me. Next was getting down the stairs, boy, that sure took a lot of effort to be quiet at since almost all the steps creaked if just a little too much weight was applied to them. I sighed silently at seeing that my sneaking plan was an easy success. The final part was the easiest: make breakfast and get back upstairs before half an hour passed, luckily I had put the frying pan out the night before so I didn't need to make a noise of the frying pan being taken out. I opened the fridge, grabbing the bacon before slamming two slices into the frying pan while turning it on, I then took another frying pan and cracked two eggs over the pan with one hand.
I've been living in this house for the last nine years, one thing I'll always be good at is cooking considering it was necessary for this house, the sizzling of the bacon was instantly heard since it was a gas cooker... freaking electric cookers and their slow warm up time, not to mention taking forever to cool down once you're finished and then accidentally touching the thing and burning your hand. Anyway, it took a grand total of five minutes to quickly fry both the eggs and bacon, I quickly grabbed a plate with utensils and then the milk jug that was in the fridge before placing all three on the table.
Now, in normal families the parent would cook breakfast for the kids... at least, that's what I've learned from Mark and Aunt Lydia. Well, not in this household, fifteen minutes left. Plenty of time, but I knew if I didn't eat in time my time would be up so I ate the breakfast like there was no tomorrow, gobbling it all down before placing the plate in the sink not bothering to wash it, oh and I drank the whole jug of milk just cause I was thirsty... still could use something sweet as an aftertaste though.
Five minutes left, now I've gotten myself dresed in my usual outfit and with the scarf around my neck I head straight into the bathroom, making sure to lock it and then going to the sink where five toothbrushes were resting on, I sighed picking up the toothbrush and then placing the toothpaste on it, just as my five minutes were up.
(3rd Person)
A loud yawn resonated throughout the house, that instantly woke up everyone else in the house that was still asleep. While brushing his teeth, (Y/N) could hear the small duo running down the hall, they went straight to their parent's room and he could hear the joyful laughter as he continued to simply stare blank-faced at the mirror. He spat out the building combination of saliva and toothpaste just as he heard someone turn the knob.
???: What? Why's the door locked?
???: What's wrong dear?
???: Door's locked, but, everyone's already out here, right?
The discussion continued with (Y/N) not even making a sound, eventually they just headed downstairs along with the lighter footsteps. That allowed (Y/N) to unlock the bathroom door, walking out while wiping his mouth with his hand, he didn't look down the stairs, instead he headed for his room and looked around, humming to himself before looking around seeing the family left their doors open again, so with a sigh he shut them all.
???: Wait, did you hear that?
???: Someone's shutting doors!
???: Oh! Oh! Is it big bro (Y/N)!?
???: (Y/N)...? Who's... Oh, right, the kid we adopted! How could I be so stupid?
???: Mom, (Y/N)'s been adopted by us for nine years, how could you have forgotten his name?
???: Now, now, your mother goes through so much work as a top hero, don't be so mean towards her... Sarah, go get him will you?
Sarah: Dad... there's only enough breakfast for four of us, you didn't make any for (Y/N)?
???: Uhh...
And there it is: (Y/N)'s reason for hating to go home. The family he was adopted by nine years ago were all smiles before, they aren't abusive or anything, they'd never dare lay a hand on a kid. It's just the fact that he's not blood related that they sometimes... actually, they always forget he's in the house with them. Their names were Janette and Terry Low, the two of them adopted (Y/N) because the two had twins and didn't know how to take care of children, so they thought they'd practice by adopting (Y/N).
At first, they were just like any other adopted family: gave him lots of attention due to having a new family at the age of five. However, as the twins started to grow, they stopped paying attention to (Y/N), while it was understandable since the two were just toddlers at the time... (Y/N) never expected to be constantly forgotten about for nine years straight. Dinner times, there would be four plates instead of five and when they realised they forgot... they told (Y/N) he had to cook his own, when it was time for bed, they wished the their own children Sarah and Lauren goodnight, but never (Y/N).
Lauren: Seriously you two, this is getting way out of hand. Big bro's almost high school age!
Janette: He's how old!?
At that, Sarah got off her chair much to the parents shock, running past Lauren who simply stared at her running form in guilt as Sarah ran up the stairs... too late however as she saw (Y/N)'s window was open, she sighed walking over to the window and saw (Y/N) walking away from the house with his hands in his pockets while his scarf flowed in the wind.
Sarah: Mom and Dad don't even realise he's not even in school, his friend Mark and him are homeschooled by the nice lady Lydia.
(Timeskip)
However, that's not where (Y/N) went to first. He was outside a familiar apartment with his arms crossed, Inko had somehow got a hold of Izuku's phone and got texted, asking if he could walk Izuku to school to 'keep her from fearing Izuku was attacked on the way to school'. (Y/N) didn't mind, it meant he could chat more with his new friend before he went to Mark's house and got his next lesson by Lydia.
Izuku grew a wide smile when he appeared around the corner and saw (Y/N) waiting for him, he ran up to him, his hands clasped around his bag's straps before stopping right in front of (Y/N) who was only slightly taller than Izuku.
Izuku: Good morning (Y/N), thanks for walking with me to school!
(Y/N) nodded as the two began their walk to Izuku's school which was quite a walk away, along the way, the two continued to chat with Izuku mentioning more heroes and how he was desiring to become a great hero who could save everyone with a smile like All Might, meanwhile (Y/N) simply talked to Izuku about the best candy to consume on different days, seasons, hours and even different moods. It amazed Izuku at how much information (Y/N) knew about candy, then again, anyone could say the same for his knowledge on heroes. Just as the two were going through a crowded area, they noticed said crowd was gathered around for a different reason.
Izuku's eyes sparkled as he spotted the large villain wrecking the place, he knew that if there was a villain, then there'd be a hero to come along and help save the day. Without any hesitation, he pushed his way to the front of the crowd to get a better look where the villain was, however he was cut off by a hero who looked like a he had water hoses for arms. Of course, Izuku knew this man to be the hero Backdraft, and the other heroes helping out being the upcoming hero Kaumi Woods.
Izuku: Kamui Woods! The upcoming and talented hero!
???: Hmm, I know exactly what you are, a fanboy, right?
Izuku: Oh... uh, yeah...
(Y/N) finally managed to make his way through the crowd, standing right beside Izuku while he watched Kamui Woods attempt to use his wooden body to capture the massive villain, however his strength was too powerful and he kept flinging Kamui around but he merely landed smoothly while continuing to glare at the villain.
Kamui: Illegal use of your quirk, robbery and on top of that assault. You are an incarnation of evil!!
That's when his arms morphed from normal arms into several wooden spikes which then pointed towards the villain.
Izuku: Oh! His special move!
Izuku/Kamui: Pre-emptive binding lacquered chain prison!
The spikes shot out, becoming long strands of wood that attempted to bind the lesser criminal in place.
???: Canyon cannon!
That was until a massive lady wearing a hero get-up... a massive lady at that appeared and kicked the opponent right in the face, rendering Kamui's move useless considering the criminal went flying off the train tracks they were standing on. Once the massive heroine landed and stood straight up, (Y/N) was surprised when a bunch of males appeared in front of him, all of them with cameras, taking pictures and chanting 'here it is'.
???: This is my debut! The name's Mt. Lady, a pleasure to make your ass-quaintance~.
At once, more pictures were taken as it was obvious that she was simply asking for more attention, (Y/N) sighed as he saw Izuku start to note down Mt. Lady in his notebook, noting he quirk and mumbling about the fact she'll definitely be popular. That was interrupted by the same person who called him a fanboy.
???: Oh ho! Getting notes on heroes are you? You wanna be a hero too? Good luck! I'll be rooting for ya!
At that, Izuku was brought out of his mumblings, smiling at the man before nodding his thanks. Then, he left with (Y/N) following behind, before they knew it, they'd already arrived at the school. Izuku was definitely upset considering (Y/N) wouldn't be around to talk to when there wasn't any lessons, and he knew he was definitely going to be made fun of considering today's the day the teacher tells them to choose where they want to go after graduating middle school.
Izuku: Well... thanks for walking me here (Y/N), see you later, I guess.
(Y/N): 'Don't worry, once I've finished with my lessons, I'll come get you and you can meet Mark, Yuki and Mina, great friends of mine'.
Izuku: Looking forward to it already!
And with massive smiles, the two parted ways with waves as (Y/N) stuck his hand in his pocket, fishing out a lollipop before sticking it into his mouth while walking away.
(Timeskip)
Lydia: Ok boys, hopefully now you'll know the three triangles... Mark?
Mark: Uh... three sided, four sided and five sided?
Lydia: No... (Y/N)?
(Y/N): 'Equilateral, Isosceles and Scalene, although... there are other...'
Lydia: Ok! Well done! Looks like today's lessons are all but done! Take a breather and have fun for the rest of the day... oh, and please remember to tell me what exactly you want to do for the future before the end of the year, thank you boys!
With a sigh of relief, Mark leapt off the sofa before turning to (Y/N) who tilted his head in confusion at Mark's sudden stare.
Mark: So... this new friend of yours... Midoriya, right?
(Y/N) nodded, when suddenly, Mark got in his face.
Mark: Is he cool? Does he know your full name? Does he know your favourite candy? Is he a nerd? A bully? A psycho? Is he...
(Y/N) smacks Mark on the head, instantly stopping his interrogation as he shook his head disappointingly while sighing, before anything could be said, the door was kicked open once again.
Mina: I have you now!!!
(Y/N) shuffled to the side, dodging the tackle from Mina who rolled into Mark instead. The two rolled across the floor, growling and snarling like animals while making the occasional quote about being (Y/N)'s best friend. (Y/N) responded with a roll of the eyes, hopping off the sofa while packing everything into a bag that he never bothered to bring home with him considering he always did his work here rather back home.
Yuki: Big bro (Y/N)!!!
And that's when Yuki ran down the stairs, jumping right onto (Y/N), holding her arms around his waist while snuggling into his chest. (Y/N) smiled, amused at the action while petting her head, she looked up with a wide smile.
Yuki: You want to play house with me? I want to practice being your wife before our wedding is announced!
Mina: W-w-wedding!?
Mark: Ooh Yuki! Could I play the awesome best friend who helps him through the wife's every day nagging?
Yuki: I'd never nag! Our love is too strong! And plus, he knows how to basically do everything so I won't be a housewife, instead we'll both become strong heroes! The first every hero couple!
Mina was gritting her teeth in the background, (Y/N) meanwhile was simply smiling, still patting her head and not taking the little girl seriously, Mark meanwhile just went over to the TV, flipping it to the news channel making him go wide-eyed.
Mark: Woah...
Everyone looked, only to see a news report about a sludge villain attacking in the city. It seemed to have taken someone hostage and no hero on site was able to help since their quirks couldn't do anything in the face of the villain's slippery body.
Mina: Oh no! But, a hero's gonna have to come some time... right?
Reporter: It was recently commented that this villain was the same one being chased by All Might himself, however, it appears as though the number one hero is nowhere in sight. If he doesn't get here soon, I'd rather not think what would happen to the boy!
Everyone went wide-eyed, even Lydia came over hearing the news, both intrigued and concerned at the events transpiring, (Y/N) went wide-eyed at seeing the camera focus on the hostage: Katsuki Bakugou, and while it looked as though he was doing ok, (Y/N) knew the slime covering his mouth was killing him, depriving him of oxygen. Mark and (Y/N) looked at each other, slowly standing up and ready to go...
Reporter: What the hell!? What is he doing!?
Until they were both shocked, (Y/N) more than others when he spotted a familiar green-haired male running straight at the slime villain. Although his face looked panicked, he didn't stop running even when the pro heroes shouted at him to stop.
Mark: What is he doing!? He better hope he's got a good quirk to protect himself.
But, (Y/N) knew that wasn't true, he was shaking in fear as he realised what Izuku's just done. He was too shocked to even make a single hand sign to talk, and that's when he recalled something from Izuku.
(Flashback)
Izuku: Yeah, it sounds silly, a quirkless guy like me wanting to be a hero. It's quite stupid right? But, I just want to be one of those heroes that you can look at and think: everything's fine, he's here now!
(Y/N): 'So, you basically want to become the next All Might?'.
Izuku: Wha!? I... well, he's such a cool hero I wouldn't mind being the next symbol of peace but, I think I would have to buff up, be able to laugh even in the face of danger and...
(Y/N) covered the boy's mouth again, shaking his head.
(Y/N): 'Inspiration's fine and all Izuku, but, try to be you, ok? If you want to become a hero that's a great dream to follow, but please... don't do it just because it's a cool job.'
Izuku: Of course not! I want to be a hero to save everyone, to make everyone feel as though there's no need to panic, I want to be someone everyone can look up to, I want to be a real hero...
(Flashback end)
(Y/N)'s shocked expression slowly fell, until... it became a proud smile as he watche the rest of the events play out: Izuku blinding the villain with his bag helping Bakugou to breath, then he tried clawing Bakugou out with no effort. That's when the villain looked like it was about to kill him.
Smoke kicked up, everyone wanted to see if Izuku was ok, especially (Y/N). But, their fears were quelled when they saw All Might block the slime's attack, grabbing the two boys, he reared a fist back.
All Might: Detroit Smash!!!
With that attack, All Might caused the cameras to cut, going straight to static, but, no one was panicking considering if All Might attacked the villain, they must be defeated. (Y/N) took a breath of relief, remembering the moment Izuku ran out and went straight for the villain.
(Y/N): 'With that one move, Izuku proved himself to be more of a hero than any other of the heroes... he'll be a fine hero, quirk or no quirk... Izuku Midoriya...'
(Y/N) smiled, clenching his fist while continuing to look at the static filled TV screen.
(Y/N): You've given me more than enough inspiration... I want to be brave like you, I want to be able to save people like you just did with Bakugou... I want... to be hero too... but, not for the same reasons as you...
To be continued...
(A/N): Oh geez, (Y/N)'s found inspiration to become a hero. Izuku has played a big role in convincing (Y/N) to become a hero, however, his reason for becoming a hero will be explained in future chapters. But, next time: it's time for (Y/N) and Mark to revive their training and prepare themselves for a certain's school's entrance exam!!! Anyways, thank you guys and gals so much for the continued support and as always: eat one or more brownies every day!!!!
