Raikou was fully aware that he was kind of different than most other kids, because of his joyful yet terrifying upbringing. Because of this, he was homeschooled for the rest of his life, by hired staff his parents brought him, because of how sad he would be after each visitation, until he had to go for real.

"Raikou, Honey, you gotta start going to school, or else, I'm not sure if you're going to be the hero you always wanted to be."

Raikou was obsessed with heroes. Much like Midoriya, he was fond of collecting action figures of pro heroes, specifically his father and Hawks. Hawks because Raikou was fond with macho man like his father, as well as his popularity with his fans, something Raikou always wanted. To be popular.

"But what about last time! Can't you see I'm still scared!?"
He yelled at his father, whom was on his way towards the door until he looked back at Raikou.
"So do you want to be a hero or not??"
He beamed a smile at his son.
"Being a hero doesn't mean you're scared, even I was like that too! But when I met your mother, I became more confident in myself!"
He rushed through the door, locking in shut as his homeschool teacher came behind his back. Raikou was left standing in the hallway, watching his father leave as he had finally turned to look behind him.
"Sir, it's time for your lessons."
"Yea, yea..."
He followed behind, still thinking about his father's words to him.
' don't be scared?'

"Great, your done for the day!"
His female teacher smiled as she and he left the dining room. She was heading back to her own room, while he went to his. He lived in a small penthouse in Tokyo. Even I had to reference the word 'small' because it wasn't small at all. Being paid for hero work must be a blessing.
A few flights of stairs until he arrived in his room, covered him rockstar posters and a 'grunge' aesthetic. His shelves were filled top to bottom with his hero figures, most if his important ones on the top like his limited edition 'Paired Up: Denki N' Jirou' which were incased in its original box, and a figure of Hawks with his wings opened, while he was also seething his sword like feathers.

He fell onto his bed, large eye bags below his Amber eyes as he averted his gaze out the window, wondering if he could find any hero out on patrols or out fighting crimes.

His mother and father were both out due to hero stuff, so it was all quiet once his teachers settled in their rooms. It was only a few weeks until his birthday but didn't really care about it since he thought birthday parties were about friends coming over to celebrate. He was about to turn 15 years old, enough to go to school a year before he would go to U.A, though it was unlikely, but his parents though it would be a good way to adjust before going to the prestigious school.

He heard a doorbell ring, as he rushed down one last flight of stairs to reach it, before he would see one of his idol's faces.
"Hey there Kaminari! A friend of your dad, but you know, just acquainted! Anyways, your dad told me to take care of you, since he had to stay a few more hours until he could go home. Same for your mother. But why the surprised face?"
It was Hawks. Right in front of him. In person. How was he so lucky to meet both his Idols even if he was anxious most if the time and couldn't even keep up a casual conversation from time to time.

"Wow, I uh, you know my father? Denki?"
"Yea! I recently moved my agency in Tokyo, because of the increase of crimes, and your father was happy to help me around the nooks and crannies around here, since his agency isn't too far from here."
"Hawks? Is that really you??"
"Yea, no wonder you were surprised, but anyways!! "
He didn't waste a second barging in, letting his feathers roam the place in search for a couch to lay on. Raikou followed behind; eyes as wide as saucers as he still couldn't believe the number 2 hero was in his house! Well, not in 'his' house, but literally breathing the same air as him.

"Can I stay here for the night? Might need to ask your father, but I'm suuuuppper tired."
"Yea, sure. Want any drinks??"
"Don't act like I'm just a guest, you can even call me uncle if you'd like. Am I being too pushy??"
"Not at all- uncle."
"Uncle Takami! Now your another one that knows my real name..."
"Ah, alright uncle Takami!"
"Great, now that we're equal, I would love some lemonade..."
"S-sure thing!"

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ 

Both having a lemonade at hand, they had a small chat about his father and hero stuff, mostly about crime rates and rarely about Hawks.

He'd just found out that uncle Takami liked chicken? Wow, maybe that wasn't suprising at all...
They'd fallen to the subject of Raikou's backstory, and had talked about why he was being homschool.
"Hey I know! Since you want to be a hero, and obviously would need to interact with a of people in order to achieve that, you should start going to school!"
Hawks beamed, his wings seemed to open when he looked excited.
"Yea yea, it's not like that option came out of nowhere, I heard it many times already..."
They both sighed. One because he was deeply annoyed his 'nephew' hadn't gone to school in years, and the other deeply annoyed by the though of school itself.

"Cmon kid, you gotta at least go a year in school to enroll in U.A!! How else will you get in?"
"Recommendations."
"Oh, yea. But nobody has seen you use your Quirk yet! Once you go to school, he public will recognise how powerful and handsome you are that U.A will definitely want you!"
"Heard of that, but the handsome part... really?"
"You don't look scared at all, your father told me you have frequent panick attacks, but you seem chill to me."
"Well, the daily panick attacks decreased... it's now only twice a day, but before it used to 10 a day, when I was younger..."
"Wow kid! You have grown!"
"Hehe.. yeah."
"Anywayyssss. Where's the guest bedroom? I wanna take a nap,"
"Go to the third storey, and the first room you see is yours."
"Thanks! Didn't know you're parents could afford a three storey penthouse.."
"Four actually. You can't be surprised when both your parents are pros."
"True, Haha! Anyways, cya!"
He took off, his scarlet red wings guiding him upwards as he counted the floors, and Finally reach his room. What a spectacular sight to behold. Now he had to get used to this. Seeing HIS own idol, breathing the same air as him, and even talking to him was enough to start a panick attack. Great timing, at least I didn't have it during our conversation.
"Should I go to school..."

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ 

"It was great having you Hawks!"
"Not a problem Mr Kaminari. I'll come by tomorrow if you're busy again!"
"No worries!"
Hawks departured when his parents arrived back home. It was already midnight when they arrived, and ended up having dinner elsewhere while he and Hawks hanged out.

"So??"
His father nudged him on the shoulder, giving a sly smirk as Raikou turned a bright pink.
"Hah! I knew you would be embarrassed! All those figures of me and him weren't really brought up, but having found that having me and your mother as a limited edition 'pairing' looked cute."
"H-hey!! No snooping around my room!! But you could have least brought uncle Kiri-"
He nudged his father back, instead, punching him in the stomach.
"Hah! Sorry, but I had a mission with him!"
"Sweetheart, I hope you don't mind punching your father harder?"
"With pleasure!"
Again, he punched his father, only in a teasing matter as they all laughed arriving at the kitchen.
"Anyways, I'll go to my office, cya soon honey, Raikou."
He kissed both of them on the forehead as he left for the second floor, a few hallways till he reached his office. Only him and his mother were left as she spoke to direct his gaze to her.
"You should get ready for bed. I'm sorry I wasn't here today, I promise I'll be here tomorrow."
"Yea, hopefully."
He hugged his mother, watching her faint smile as he left the kitchen to his room, only a few feet away from his Dad's office. He could here faint murmuring, which meant he was probably on the phone talking to someone. Wonder who?
Mom always promised she'd be here the next day, but she was obviously lying. It was then when he woke up from his sleep and didn't find her in their kitchen, preparing a nice breakfast for him, which he always had to do himself. He hated it. He hated being lonely, but if he had to go to school which a bunch of random kids, he hated that most. The only thing that made him hesitate was Hawks' words.
"I do want to be a hero, but I'm not sure how..."
