When Enji first saw him, he didn't even acknowledge him. That boy was just another face in the crowd, he was plain and his only remarkable feature were the freckles on his cheeks.
The second time that happened, he was in the cafeteria. And that black haired boy was coughing fire while one of his friends patted him in the back.
Enji wondered why someone with such quirk wasn't trying to become a hero, maybe it was a weak one.
Then he heard the rumors of a Business Course Student that burned a few trees in the campus when he sneezed. Apparently, a classmate had the flu and got the whole class sick.
A lot of students were teasing him about that, they said his name is Midoriya Hisashi. And when others asked him about the incident, he got a bright red blush on his face.
After that Enji couldn't stop seeing him everywhere, his eyes always found him no matter what.
Enji was unable to ignore him, he didn't knew what was so special about him.
But there must be something, because he was frequently looking for that curly black hair, freckled cheeks and bright smiles.
Midoriya didn't even glanced in his direction, it was as if he did not exist at all. Enji got better at lip reading the conversations he had with his friends, catching bits and pieces of the things that he liked.
This habit continued for several years, his mind always brought back all those memories of shining smiles and a bright red blush.
It was distracting him of his goal of becoming a hero.
He finished school and didn't speak with Midoriya Hisashi once.
...
Endeavor heard a familiar last name through the speakers during the Sport Festival.
He saw a boy with that same curly hair, freckles and a really different quirk than his father's.
But that was no longer important, now he has to make sure that boy gives his masterpiece a good fight.
