8 days till the sports festival.

"Uh... hi? M-my n-name is I-Izuku Midoriya..." Izuku studdered in greeting. "Oh! You're that kid All Might was talking about on the news! With that... muskateer quirk? 'All-for-One-and-One-for-All'!!" Said a boy with pink hair cut in a mo-hawk, and sea-foam colored eyes. Izuku couldn't help but chuckle at the comparison, "uh, yeah, th-that's me"

"Well, I'm Yokina Suika!!" The pink haired boy said, grinning. The yellow haired boy said, "The name's Hikari Gin."

A boy with long, dark grey hair and maroon eyes said "Shizuka", not giving his first name. The last boy, who looked like a cenutaur with blue eyes and short brown hair with the sides shaved, said "I'm Banditt! Nice to meet ya!"

Izuku looked around at the smiling group, and gave a confused look, "y-you guys... aren't w-worried I'll take your qu-quirks...?"

When he was met with a chourus of "no"s, he couldn't help but give a shaky, although completely geniune smile, as tears attempted to spill from his eyes. He needed to work on that. He wiped the tears away, before saying "th-thank you..."

"Well, come on!! Let's do this!!" Suika cheered, running into the arcade building. The rest of them followed, Kirishima pulling Izuku along.

"Uh... hey, K-Kirishima-kun..?" Izuku mumbled as they were walking towards a counter. Kirishima looked over at him, "Yeah, Midoribro?"

Izuku looked away as he said, "h-how do arcades w-work..?" The entire group turned to stare at him, dumbfounded looks upon their faces. "Have you never been to an arcade before?!" Gin questioned. Izuku shook his head, "n-no... I n-never had a r-reason too."

Suika shook his head sadly, "you poor elf... you haven't properly lived life if you haven't been to an arcade!" Izuku felt his face heat up, and covered up his face, embarassed, "I-I'm n-not an e-elf..!"

The other five boys started laughing at this.

+++++

"How're you so good at this?!" Banditt complained. The boys were seeing who was the best at shooter games, and Banditt was currently going against Izuku. Izuku merely shrugged in response, "I don't have a good answer for that.."

Eventually, Izuku's beginner's luck ran out, when a zombie attacked him. His health ran out, and Banditt won.

"WOOHOOO!!!" Banditt cheered, galloping up and down. Suika snorted, spitting out the gatorade he was drinking, some of it shooting out of his nose, "AGHHH!! It burnsssss!!! Can't breatheeeee!!!!" He fell onto his knees dramatically, clutching his nose in one hand. Shizuka said, "Then perish."

"That's murder bro!!" Kirishima exclaimed. Gin then said, "It's not illegal if the cops don't catch us", while making finger guns. Banditt started pointed between Kirishima and Izuku, and whispered, "The cops.... they saw the crime scene..."

"Eliminate all witnesses!!" Gin cried, pulling toy light sabers out of his backpack, and handing them to Banditt and Shizuka. Each of them turned the fake lightsabers on, and Kirishima hardened his skin, while Izuku just looked around, extremely confused. "Sui-kun is gonna... d-die...?"

Suika shook his head while laughing, "I'll... I'll be fine...!!!"

Just then, a blue lightsaber swung into Izuku's vision, about to colide with his shoulder. On an instinct, Izuku grabbed the glowing plastic, and yanked it out of Banditt's hands.

"The broccoli has obtained my lightsaber!!" Banditt called. Izuku stared it blankly, before realizing that this was a play-fight. He shifted the toy in his hands, now holding the handle. He lightly tapped Banditt with it, and Banditt chuckled, "You can hit harder than that!"

"Ganging up on me ain't very manly you guys!!" Kirishima shouted, blocking multiple hits from Gin and Shizuka. "You are a witness and therefore shall be eliminated!!!" Gin yelled, smacking Kirishima's side with a green lightsaber. Next thing they knew, Izuku was rushing in with a Tarzan yell, and rammed his small body directly into Shizuka. Kirishima then uppercutted Gin. In a flash, Gin produced another of the lightsabers, and tossed it too Banditt.

At that point, most of the arcade had gathered around the area, wanting to watch the boys' fight.

This continued on for some time, up until someone said, "Hey, isn't that Izuku Midoriya? Y'know, the villain kid?"

While the other five were having to much fun to notice, Izuku suddenly became hyperaware of the crowd and everything they were saying. He fought back the urge to cry, not wanting to ruin the other's fun. Instead, he pretended he didn't care, and continued on with the game.

"No way! Those kids are gonna get seriously injured if they're fighting with him!"

Izuku felt his throat tightening up. No, no, not now! Not with so many people..! What would Kirishima and the others think?! And.. and all these other people...!

He barely managed to avoid a playful swing of Gin's lightsaber.

"Do you think that they're actually fighting?"

"We should call 110!"

"No, we need the heroes!!"

The heroes will be super mad at me.. and if not me, then the others!! They don't deserve that...!

I just ruin everything for everyone...

The lightsaber slipped out of Izuku's hand, and he collapsed to the floor, shaking.

I should never have come here...

Tears started to form in his eyes, and all of the boys turned to look at him. "Shit..." Kirishima mumbled, before turning to face the crowd, "Everyone, get away!!"

He's probably worried I'm going to attack them.... I'm so, so useless....

Protests came from the crowd, but all of them stopped when Banditt gave a stomp of his hoof. "He said, go away!" The crowd slowly dispearsed.

I'm only getting in the way..!

I shouldn't even be in UA..!

Hell, I shoudn't have been born...!

He gripped his head, refusing to let the burning tears fall. Kirishima crouched down in front of Izuku, "Midoribro, it's okay now... They're all gone."

Izuku's eyes landed directly on Kirishima's eyes, however, and the words didn't make it to Izuku's ears. Those red eyes reminded him so much of Bakugou... On an instinct, Izuku curled himself into the smallest form he could manage, and he scampered away from Kirishima, running directly into the leg of Gin.

Fear took over his mind, and he jumped up into a standing postion, and began running as fast as he could without utilizing One for All. He ran right to the bathrooms, and locked himself into one of the stalls.

Worthless!!

His breathing got heavy, the tears in his eyes desperately trying to escape.

Was someone trying to get into the stall?!?! Izuku's eyes raced around, and his fingers tugged at his hair.

Thud!!

Izuku fell to the ground, curling himself into a ball of protection. He felt cold, and his body trembled heavily. Once that person got into the stall, he'd be done for!!

Wait, why wasn't the door shaking from the banging..?
