Chapter Text
Things could be better.
Izuku knew this.
But it was fine!
He could live with this,
maybe.
He could help people, like heroes!
Like All Might!
So he could stay here and help everyone who stops by!
He could help them like no one helped him.
After all, a village only needs one omelas!
How did this even happen?
Izuku was an idiot, but not THIS idiotic.
All he wanted to do was catch that kitty. What three year old wouldn’t?
He skipped from the park to some dingy alleyway. He wouldn’t normally do things like this, but the cat looked hurt!
“C’mon kitty! I just wanna help you!”
Mama and Dad would NOT be happy if she found out about this.
So they wouldn’t.
Neither would Tenko.
He knew his way back to the park, all he had to do was catch the little, wispy cat!
And he almost did.
Almost.
As soon as he was about to take a risk and jump at the cat, someone stepped out of the alley connecting to the one he ran from. They had platinum blonde hair that reached the ends of their ears and a gray tracksuit that was opened to show a navy blue t-shirt.
Izuku jumped right into their arms.
Oh.
Shit.
Surprisingly, Izuku didn’t curse much, with all the time he spent around Kacchan, he didn’t need any more explicit language.
But this situation definitely called for it.
Wait…
...Could this man be a hero?
A HERO!!!
“Are you a hero?”
Izuku patiently waited for an answer.
“...Not exactly.”
What does that even mean?
“Well, I’m Izuku, when my quirk comes in, I’m gonna be a hero!”
“Your quirk hasn’t come in?”
“No, I’m only three.”
The man made a grim attempt at a smile. Something wasn’t right.
“How about I help you back to your mother?”
Unsuspectingly, Izuku took the man’s hand.
What he didn’t notice is that the cat had now walked off and they were heading in the opposite direction of the park.
