Chapter Text

Prologue

"Uh.. Is this thing working I can't tell..."

The black screen lights to a blurry screen before focusing on a boy fiddling with the camera. The camera keeps changing its focus, eventually landing on his shirt that says 'pants' is in clear view, along with the boy's green hair.

"Oh- the light is blinking ok."

The boy leans back, sitting on the chair.

"Entry 1# for Hero Analysis! My name is Yume, and welcome to Analysis of Pro Hero Present Mic! This is my first ever video, so any feedback is appreciated. Now, onto the disclaimer!"

The screen switched to a black background with text, a voice over of Yume saying "Disclaimer: These videos are not in anyway affiliated with any of the people mentioned. This is just a fan video made for fun, and is not intended in anyway to be discriminatory, offensive, or hurt anyone. If you are a person or a representative of a person that I have analyzed, please contact me if you wish to take the video down, please do not strike me :("

The message slowly fades back into the main camera view of Yume. "Let's get started shall we? Pro Hero Present Mic is ranked 18 in Japan! His quirk is Voice, he's able to..."

...and then he'd be able to keep damage to a minimum! That's all for this video! Bye!"

Midoriya Izuku shut off the camera, a relieved sigh on his lips. It was nerve wracking, finally committing to this side project he'd been thinking about. Ever since mom had gifted him the camera two years ago, Izuku had been dying to try out this HeroTube thing.

Izuku knew why mom had gifted him that, if Izuku found a new hobby then maybe he would give up on being a hero and stay safe.

Izuku looked down at his hero notebook. Maybe he should give up- no. Not until he's sure. Not until he's sure this HeroTube thing is going to stick with him and not some week-long obsession before he moves onto the next thing.

Izuku powered up his editing software, it was a paid one, he's had it for years, since it came free with another software he downloaded. He's never used it though. Time to search for tutorials.

The first ever video of Yume: Hero Analysis for You was posted later that night. Izuku admits that it wasn't the best, the editing consisted of some basic cuts, zoom-ins and basic pictures here and there mixed in. He added clips of Present Mic in the appropriate places, some videos of how said hero used his quirk and such.

All in all, it was basic, but Izuku was proud. It was his first ever video.

Izuku sighed. Realistically, he knew he wouldn't get that many views on his first video, but that didn't mean it hurt less. But this was Izuku, he wasn't one to give up that  easily. Izuku cracked his knuckles, wanting to quickly finish today's assignment and hand them in so he could work on his next video.

Izuku went to an online school, although it only started this year. Sometimes he'd miss real schools, miss the atmosphere, miss how it felt to wake up early, shower, wear a uniform and head off. And then he'd remember the glances, the threats, the pushing, the sneers and the spider lilies on his table and he'd be thankful. Not that he was thankful his mother died, forcing him out of Aldera, but...small mercies, yeah?

4 hours passed before Izuku finished all of his assignments for that day. He stretched out, relieving the tension in his body.

What video should I do next? Maybe a video on Selkie? Hmm...

Hitoshi was bored. Which, in all honesty, is normal for him.

Dad and Pops weren't home yet, and Hitoshi swore he's watched all the cat videos at least 50 times today. So yeah, he was bored.

Scrolling through HeroTube for more cat videos that he hasn't seen yet, Hitoshi stumbled upon a video.

"Buried Underground 3#: Red Eyes | Yume: Hero Analysis for You"

The video was by a small channel named Yume, with a total of 4830 subscribers. They posted videos weekly, and had a few ongoing series. The main one, Hitoshi noticed, was called 'Hero Analysis' and had 13 videos, the earliest one being 5 months ago. There were also other series, namely 'Hero Highlight', 'Back in Time' and 'Buried Underground'. The last of which Hitoshi was interested in.

The video started with a basic intro of a name and a background song, which made Hitoshi scoff. The screen changes to show a boy, green hair with an undercut. The boy smiled at the camera.

"Entry number 3 for Buried Underground! My name is Yume, and welcome to my analysis of Red Eyes. For any new viewers, Buried Underground is a series where I analyze underground heroes, although due to their nature of work, I won't be revealing any specifics of their quirks or their real hero names. Onto the disclaimer!"

Hitoshi watched as the boy explained a hero who was normally seen in black, with a very interesting scarf. Hitoshi knew that hero, he sees the man everyday at home. How did this random kid know so much about Eraserhead?

It was obvious he researched everything thoroughly, the way he presents Eraserhead was sure. His wording never revealed any important information about Eraserhead that might put him at a disadvantage, but he did leave an interesting perspective of the erasure hero, discussing his fighting style and even giving suggestions. It was very entertaining, despite Hitoshi already knowing a lot about said hero already.

Hitoshi only had one problem, the editing was appalling. Sure this Yume dude could've done better? Hitoshi could do better for a school presentation.

Hitoshi tunes back into the video, already near the end. Yume does his outro, but then he mentions a small "Oh! And if any of you guys want a private analysis, you can message me! I'm in need for more practice, that's all, bye!"

Oh? A chance for Hitoshi to be a little shit? How could he pass this?

Hitoshi went into the description, finding a link to the boy's blog.

Hitoshi wasn't going to ask about his own quirk, he already got enough shit for that normally, he didn't want shit for it online too. How does one approach a random stranger?

Maybe Hitoshi should go the Hitoshi way.

[ coffecat ]
hey
your editing sucks

[ Yume ]
Oh- uhm
Sorry...?

[ coffecat ]

[ Yume ]
HEY

[ coffecat ]

Ah, Hitoshi stopped typing. He just wanted to be a nuisance to pass the time. Now he's made a commitment. Damn you, social anxiety. And he hasn't even asked about his quirk... what an odd fellow.

[ Yume ]
You ok?
Did I scare you away >;)))
...

[ coffecat ] 
sorry
i was brooding

[ coffecat ]
too trusting.

"Hey dad."

The erasure hero turned towards his son. "Yeah?"

"I found a video on you?"

Shouta furrowed his brows, "There shouldn't be any videos about me."

Hitoshi shrugged, bringing his phone to the hero.

"He's chill, he didn't reveal your quirk or your hero name. Apparently I'm his editor now."

Shouta gave a questioning eyebrow raise at the last statement, to which the boy shrugged again. "Just watch it. You can take it down if you want, his email is there. I don't know how you're going to prove it's you though."

Shouta sighed, putting down the red pen from marking his students' papers.

Hitoshi put his phone down, walking over to the fridge to get something to eat, Prince, the cat, meowing at his feet.

Shouta pressed play.

As the video finished, Shouta began drafting an email.

Hmm.. maybe winking would work. I have to try it another time.

Izuku didn't expect to wake up to an email. Much less an email from Eraserhead.

At least, from a person claiming to be Eraserhead. If it was him though, it made sense. There was a reason Eraserhead videos were hard to find, the hero probably has some sort of scanner to remove videos about him.

Ah, Izuku sighed, I guess I have to delete that video. A month's work gone.

Izuku clicked the email, running a program in the background to verify the email. Meanwhile, Izuku read it.

Yume,

This is Eraserhead, or Red Eyes, from your video. I'm not sure how you'd like me to confirm my identity, so I attached an image of my hero license. I trust you not to share this on the internet, I have connections.

If you would, please delete the video. I can't have anything about me being out there.

Good job on the video though, everything was logical and intriguing. I’ll be sure to keep watching.
Eraserhead.

Izuku read it, then read it again, and a third time before he fully processed the email because ,what the fuck. Eraserhead -yes, the real Eraserhead, the program he made tracked the email to be from UA, and the hero license was authentic from what Izuku could make out- liked  his analysis, even wanting more? Izuku must be dreaming.

He must be dreaming...right?

Oh wow. Now he has an editor (and friend, maybe?) and a hero noticing him??

Izuku smiled, maybe life was looking up anyway.

Izuku felt... gross, sticky, mad, sad, empty and every other emotion his brain could think of right now. The sludge stuck to his clothes, groceries abandoned in that tunnel and notebook damp.

"Pro heroes are always having to risk their lives. Some villains just can't be beaten without powers. So, can you be a hero? Not without a Quirk."

Izuku cursed, slowly opening the door.

"It's not bad to have a dream, young man. Just, make sure your dreams are attainable."

His bag felt heavier, ironic, since he lost some stuff when he threw it at that villain to save Kacchan.

"Realistic."

Realistic my ass.

Izuku wonders if Kacchan is ok now. The feeling of anger rose again, this time, with an added touch of disappointment.

Those heroes. They didn't do anything. Didn't help Kacchan. But they were heroes? Why didn't they help? Why?

"None of us have the right quirks to stop a villain like this!" Deatharms had said.

Quirks. It all boiled down to quirks. Izuku felt his finger twitching to record a video.

So he did.

The video started blank, as it usually does. The bunny intro that appeared a month ago (along with an editor) wasn't there this time. The video had a rough feeling to it, uncut, unpolished. Yume stared at the camera, his expression was...sad. He was sad, but most of all he was disappointed.

He's in a t-shirt saying 'socks'. The boy's smile seemed forced.

His background was different from usual. Something was off... it was bland, empty, live-less, but the door, the walls, the bed, those were the same-

-oh. All the All Might merch was gone.

"Hi, it's Yume. Usually I'm more upbeat during my videos, but honestly..." His smile fades, a grimace in place of it, "I don't think I have the energy nor any f**ks right now. Let's talk about the Sludge Villain Incident."

"You've probably seen the Sludge Incident earlier this evening. It was all over the news. Um, usually I'd gush about how the heroes saved the day, even All Might was there! But... did they? Did the heroes really save the day? The victim-" Yume's voice wavered at the word 'victim', but he continued on. "-was a young boy. He's still in middle school you know? I knew him. Maybe.. maybe that's why it hurt more. I won't be sharing his name or face, despite it being all over the media."

Yume's face grew serious.

"His face, his name, shouldn't be all over the internet. He's a minor, there are rules that state his face and name couldn't be spread. Yes, I know it was broadcast live, so his face would inevitably be all over the internet. But I also saw pictures of him that weren't from the attack, his name, which definitely was not general knowledge that could be shared so lax, was going viral on Twitter."

Yume sighed, running a hand through his hair. You could hear the exhaustion in his voice.

"You saw the other boy, no? The one who ran in? That was me, so I guess if that went everywhere it's my fault and whatever, I was dumb. But y'know what?"

The video zoomed in a bit, "Before I ran in, before I decided to do something to let said victim breathe, y'know what I said to the heroes? All the other heroes there, sans All Might because he wasn't there yet, heard me. I know this because they replied. I said, no, yelled, 'Go for the eyes! His eyes are solid, please, you have to help [redacted]! He can't breathe, please.' And what did the heroes reply? 'Leave it to the heroes, kid' or 'We're waiting for more heroes, stay calm' and most insultingly, 'We don't have the right quirks'. Quirks."

Yume's breaths were heavy, "You didn't have the right quirks? I didn't 'have the right quirk' but I managed to let [redacted] breathe. I aimed for the eye with a book. I get it, some quirks have really bad match ups. Yes, Kamui Woods is weak to fire. But you know what isn't weak to fire? Water, Backdraft's quirk. Why did you decide to put out the fire of an empty building, when the reason the fire was there, [redacted]'s quirk, was still going crazy? Mount Lady, I get that you just debuted the very same day, but staying giant and helpless instead of, I don't know, maybe keeping the civilians away? Remember, I, a teenage boy, managed to run past most of you heroes."

Yume sounded like he was about to cry, or laugh, or maybe both.

"Which is why, I'm going to list all the ways I have already made in which the heroes already present before All Might appeared could've saved the victim", Yume smiled, but it didn't meet his eyes, "Let's get started shall we?"

Chapter Text

Izuku whined, shuffling in his bed. His back felt sore and his pillow was oddly damp. Izuku sat up, yawning. Ah, his hair was still wet when he went to sleep. Izuku checked the clock alarm beside his desk. 5am. Not that early for him, so Izuku shrugged it off.

The phone kept vibrating as Izuku did his daily stretches. Maybe it was the landlord? Mr. Nakamura had always been pretty nice to him. Or maybe it was Hitoshi? He had a habit of spamming Izuku with cat videos and photos when the editor couldn't sleep at night.

After satisfied with his stretches, Izuku continued with his normal routine. A washing his face, making a small breakfast of eggs and brushing his teeth.

Izuku reentered his room, grabbing his phone to- 500+ notifications.

What?

Izuku read over it again and again, rubbing his eyes and pinching himself. What happened while he was asleep?

midoriya
you son of a bitch
what was that video???
you were hot ngl
...
ignore that
but s e r i o u s l y
w t f
midoriya if you dont reply at this moment
i w i l l stop editing ur vids
...for maybe a week
pls answer dont leave a man hanging bro
fine, imma make subtitles and translate em

bro ur trending on twitter-
oh s h i t
mido pls ur famous now???
omg #yumadememad is trending
whoever started that was a genius
im gonna assume ur sleeping cause u didnt cry at my threat
u better reply first thing in the morning

hehefu THE VIDEO HIT 20M VIEWS????
lmao people are dumb

[Screenshot of a comment, presumably under Izuku's viral video. It read "why person hate heroes so much like hes just jelouse"]

i live for bad spelling unironically
do u think best jeanist has a mouth?
...i think i need sleep

Izuku's heart stopped. What? Viral? Nononono, Shinsou was messing with him. Right?

Izuku quickly excited the messaging app, ignoring that small tinge in his brain to not leave someone on read, and instead opened his twitter.

It was chaos.

He was tagged in multiple posts, for some reason he had around 57k followers-? What.

There were so many people supporting him it was... overwhelming. How was he supposed to react to that? He expected hate from that video, he expected to wake up and see it privated by Shinsou. Tears sprung as he kept reading the replies to his video. When the replies started blurring together (not only from the tears), Izuku went to his channel.

68M views. That's how much he got. He had around 240k subscribers. What is this madness?

The reporters outside were noisy, constant thumps and clicks and shouts echo throughout the house. The old hag and old man are outside, trying to calm the crowd. Katsuki didn't know how they found his address, hell he doesn't want to know. Probably better he doesn't. Plus, why the fuck are they even here at 9pm?

The blonde scrolls through youtube, ignoring the incessant messages from those extras at middle school. School was boring.

By the tenth video commentating on the villain incident earlier Katsuki was ready to smash his phone and puke. His messages were going crazier than before, but it was past 8 and he'd rather not have any social interaction pass a certain point.

Katsuki was about to give up on finding a distraction when he saw another video. It was on trending, the 13th one. It looked the same as the other more viewed videos about the Sludge Villain Incident, only... it was Deku.

What the fuck? That can't be stupid Deku. Did someone find out that he saved me and was the kid who jumped in?

That wasn't it.

That was nowhere near what the video was about. Deku was... stronger. He looked stronger, and Katsuki knows it wasn't a physical thing, when he yelled at talked to Deku, he looked as scrawny as he did when he ran out in the middle of class after that phone call, rushing to the hospital.

What the fuck? What does Deku think he is?! Making a video showing how weak Katsuki was, if he ever sees that fucking bastard again he'd beat that out of him. Yeah. Fuck you, Deku.

("Achoo! Achoo!" Izuku rubbed his nose, groaning. Even when I don't do anything people are talking bad about me", he sighed.)

Should I really post it???
I feel like I'm just bragging
What if all the subscribers are going to unsubscribe after
they realize that I don't expose people everyday??
I'm not a drama channel????
AHHHH help me Editor-kun ;-;

first of all, stop calling me that
u no my name
second of all, even if people dont like ur usual content
fuck them
and also
they still probably wanna know more about u
i even got on call w/ u to record

Oh yeah!
You're voice is really deep!
It's nice ^^

...thank.
but seriously tho
just post it.
or do u want all my hard work gone???
how dare u.

WAIT NO
I'm sorryyyyyy
Fine I'll post it c r i

:)

Transcript of "QnA! Thanks for 100k+??"

by coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video opens with the usual intro, a green bunny hopping onto the screen, promptly falling asleep as its dream cloud floats up, the word "Yume" appearing onto the screen. The intro cuts to a nervous looking boy on what looks to be a couch, behind him posters of some heroes.]

Yume: U-uhm, h-hello... Yume here. Uh-

[Yume fidgets with his fingers]

Yume: T-there are lots of you that are new cause of uh- that video... Oh- thank you for over 200k subscribers! So uh- I decided to do a QnA to celebrate! I tweeted out uhm-

Yume: (mutters) I can't believe people actually replied so-

Yume: I will answer them and joining me is my editor...

[A drumroll sound effect appears. Yume smiles and does jazz hands at the camera]

Yume: ...Editor-kun!

Editor-kun: That literally doesn't change anything.

[The voice comes from Yume's phone]

Yume: Hehe... Thanks for joining me Editor-kun!

Editor-kun: Are you going to call me that every time?

Yume: Yup! Let's go onto the first question!

Editor-kun: I still don't get why I'm here-

[The video beeps, cutting to Yume holding a plush doll of Crimson Riot.]

Editor-kun: *Hums* First question: Is Yume your real name? From @catsbecurious

Yume: Nope!

[Awkward silence]

Editor-kun: ...that's it?

Yume: Yup!

[Editor-kun huffs, amused while Yume winks at the camera]

Editor: Ok, next question, milk before cereal or cereal before milk?

Yume: Milk before cereal, duh!

Editor-kun: *dramatic gasp* How. Dare. You. It's cereal before milk. That's it, I'm not going to edit your videos anymore.

Yume: Wait no please-- I beg for your mercy!

Editor-kun: Perish.

[Yume puts a hand to his chest, gripping his 'tank-top' t-shirt]

Yume: I am die.

Editor-kun: That *beep* dead. Welp, guess I finally have time to edit Loud Claw's documentary video-

Yume: I am alive.

Editor-kun: Too bad.

Yume: I know right.

Editor-kun: Wait what-

[Video beep again, cutting to Yume now with another apple]

Editor-kun: Yume-san, why are you so cute from @monke. Uhh- actually this boy ain't that-

Yume: Hey! I am cute! W-wait- no I'm not I mean- ahhhh!

Editor-kun: Self deprecation avoided. Next question, from @nothawks- wait, isn’t that actually Hawks though?

Yume: I thought that was fake though?

Editor-kun: *Hums* Probably. @nothawks asks, who's your favourite hero, and then in brackets, does their name start with 'h' and end with 'awks'?

Yume: It's All-

[Yume's face freezes, his smile slowly fading off. There was a short silence]

Editor-kun: Yume?

Yume: Oh! Yea, sorry... My favourite hero is an underground one so I can't tell you guys, sorry.

Editor-kun: Same.

Yume: Wait, really? You've never mentioned that?

Editor-kun: Yeah, it's how I found your channel.

Yume: WHAT. Wait wait wait who-

[The video beeps again, this time cutting to Yume on his bed, now in a dark green sweater]

Yume: Sorry guys, I had stuff to do so we're on my bed now! We have uh- how many questions left?

Editor-kun: Like, four more.

Yume: Alright, hit me!

Editor-kun: Oh here's an obvious one. How old are you?

Yume: I am...

[The camera zooms into Yume's face, his expression stern]

Yume: ...immortal.

Editor-kun: I thought you died earlier in the video?

Yume: Ah, but you see I'm still here so I am immortal.

Editor-kun: Holy *beep* you right-

[Another cut, Yume was now laying upside-down, legs up against the wall and head hanging off the bed]

Yume: And that's why I think that Best Jeanist does have a mouth.

Editor-kun: Nah nah, he doesn't have a mouth that's why he covers his face.

Yume: *Groans* Ugh, whatever. We got off topic...

Editor-kun: Hah it's gon suck if I cut off this conversation. Sucks to sucks viewers.

Yume: You wouldn't.

Editor-kun: I would.

[Yume sighs, shifting his head back onto the bed]

Editor-kun: Ok ok, from @themoist, how were you brave enough to jump into the Sludge Villain Incident?

Yume: A-ah, well I wasn't really thinking. Nor was I brave o-or anything... I was basically just acting on impulse. I didn't really uhm.. care if I got hurt that day, it was... a tough day, so...

[Yume closes his eyes, taking a breath. Editor-kun pauses for a short while.]

Editor-kun: Yeah, Yume's a dumb *beep*

Yume: *gasps* What the *beep* did you just *beep*-ing say about me, you little *beep*? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret--

Editor-kun: S t o p.

Yume: Aww...

[Yume pouts, hugging an Mirko bunny plush]

Editor-kun: Ok, the penultimate question. Is the victim of the Sludge Villain ok now? None of the news could interview him after the incident, from @marsonearth. Wait, can you talk about that?

Yume: Uhh I'm not sure if I can, but even if I could I don't know myself...

[Yume plays with his curly hair, trailing off]

Yume: ...well we don't talk to each other anymore so. Before the incident I haven't seen him since earlier last year.

[Editor-kun hums]

Editor-kun: Alright, final question.

[The camera zooms to Yume's nervous face, a drumroll on the background]

Editor-kun: How's life?

Yume: ...that's it?

Editor-kun: Yes.

Yume: Uh well life's good uh I think-? Yesterday I-

["Three days later..."]

Yume: And uh yeah, that's why I am now allergic to prepubescent boys.

Editor-kun: Aren't you a prepubescent boy?

[The camera stares into Yume's eyes

Yume: Yes.

[The video cuts out, a short outro playing]

Chapter Text

Tenya was scrolling through his phone during his 30 minute break from studying. Tensei was out on patrol, and his parents were having some kind of meeting with another agency.

Tenya knew it was something to do with that viral video, it was all over the news, made by some HeroTuber named Yume. Tenya hasn't actually watched the whole video, as the news couldn't play the whole thing (without permission and/or paying rights).

Deciding to go onto HeroTube (which he doesn't do much), Tenya searched up the name, and obviously the viral video appeared at the top. Right under that though, was a title that caught his eye.

Hero Highlight 3#: Ingenium | Yume: Hero Analysis for You

It was the most recent video from said HeroTuber, and considering it was about Tensei, Tenya was very much interested in what they had to say. Hopefully, they didn't "cancel" (as some people would say) him, Tensei is an amazing hero.

The video started off with the intro, which then cut to a boy, supposedly Yume, who was wearing a 'boots' sweater. Tenya was surprised at first, he didn't expect the person who shook Japan to be as young as he was. Yume gave a small wave to the camera, "Entry number 3 for Hero Highlight, a series highlighting-" the boy winked, "-heroes who, despite being low in rank or maybe overlooked, has shown the true essence of a hero! This episode, The Turbo Hero Ingenium!"

Tenya watched in awe as the boy, probably no older than 17, explained the history of his brother. "Ingenium is one of the heroes whose civilian names are easy to find, as the IidaTen Agency is a family run business. His name is Iida Tensei, the eldest son of Iida Sokudu and Iida Kurumi."

"Ingenium has been involved in multiple drug busts, including the infamous Koi No group, although his involvement was kept hushed at the time for classified reasons. Other than that, Ingenium has also donated to multiple charities aimed to improving health facilities for lower income families, supplying money for families with children who haven't control their quirks yet, and many more things you might take for granted like services for people to take a quirk proficiency license for work use et cetera!"

The boy took out a figurine of Ingenium, holding the figure with care. "This was my first ever figure of Ingenium, part of his first ever merch launch. All of the money raised in that launch was invested in the funds to rebuild destruction caused by villains and heroes alike, it even saved me once when my old house was destroyed."

The boy paused, looking off-screen for a second before turning back to the camera, his smile dimmed slightly. "Other than being the amazing hero Ingenium, he is also Iida Tensei, a smart and loving son and brother. He's mentioned in earlier interviews that he didn't want to be a hero at first, he did it to carry on the legacy of the family. He wanted to be a-" firefighter, Tenya thought in a blink, "-firefighter, but realized in the end that saving people was what made him happy the most!"

The video continued in the same sense, Yume would show off some of Tensei's achievements, some big and known and some more discreet. Tenya could tell the video was made with love and dedication, all the information presented was thorough and delivered genuinely. It made Tenya's heart swell with pride, his brother was an amazing hero and he was glad it was shared with the world.

Studying forgotten, Tenya finished watching the 20 minute video, going on a mini Yume video marathon.

That evening ended with another subscriber to the Yume channel.

Shouta sighed as he trailed behind Hizashi, dreading the meeting he "had" to attend. Truthfully he didn't have to, but Hizashi didn't really want to go alone.

Especially since Deatharms was the one who called it.

Hizashi said the meeting called most of the heroes Yume has done a video on (minus the underground and late heroes) that were in Musutafu, which weren't many surprisingly. Shouta felt a protective flair twitch in him, he's been talking to Yume for around a month, exchanging emails. Currently, Yume, or Midoriya as he told Hitoshi and later on Shouta, was a secret he hasn't told anyone outside his family about. He didn't want to put the child (because yes, he is still a child, despite shaking the hero community) on the spot, placing him in front of more people, more important and influential people.

The door slid open, revealing Deatharms, Kamui Woods, Selkie, Ryukyu and the IidaTen heroes (although they were there on behalf of a sidekick, Mahi). Hizashi, Present Mic currently, sat down, Shouta sitting beside him.

The air was tense in a way, it's only been 3 days since that video. Hizashi, who hates awkward situations, decided to cut to the chase. "So, Deatharms-san, why'd you call us all here?"

"I'm sure you know", he replied.

Ryukyu furrowed her eyebrows, "That Yume HeroTuber-? What about the kid?" She asked, looking at Deatharms.

"I'm going to sue him for defamation."

COMPILATION OF YUME MEMES CAUSE I LOVE HIM
[The heartbeat rate meme, with 'Answeing questions', 'With Editor-kun' and 'Hearing Editor-kun's voice]
[Every time Yume smiles, I do one push-up]
[Spongebob worshipping a paper with the word 'Yume']
#yume #memes #yumadememad #lmao this boy doesnt know he has memes #i love him so much??

"I'm going to sue him for defamation."

Shouta froze, which is something he rarely does. Sounds of confusion rose in the meeting room. Ryukyu silenced the room, raising her palm. "First of all, this Yume is obviously a teen, not only does he look and act and sound like one, he knows the Sludge Villain victim. Are you seriously considering to sue a child?"

"Yeah, isn't this a bit too much, Deatharms?" Surprisingly, Mount Lady said. Although, Shouta could see why we was more hesitant, she just debuted 2 days ago, and got her carrier tarnished forever the very same day. "I get that you're mad, but when I thought about it, I really wasn't doing my job and being a new hero isn't an-"

"Are you seriously agreeing with him? That child ruined your debut-!"

"Exactly, he's a child!" Hizashi spoke up, crossing his arms in front of his chest, "With all due respect, this definitely isn't the proper way to go. Not only will this probably cause stress on the kid, because yes, he is a kid, I can't imagine how horrible you would look to the public, suing a literal child who was just sharing his opinion."

God, this is why Shouta fell for the man.

"If I may-", Shouta spoke up, not really caring if he 'may not', "-this shit is dumb." Shouta heard Hizashi mumble a Shouta! but he ignored it. "Stop being a petty teenager, you're a fucking hero grown ass adult for goodness sake. Accept that you didn't do your job properly and move the fuck on."

Deatharms scowled, "Eraser, what are you doing here?"

"That isn't the topic, Deatharms. You aren't going to win this suit anyway."

The punching hero grunted. "I'm going with it anyway. If any of you want to join in you can. If you aren't I don't care for your opinions."

Shouta tsked, this is stupid. Who in their right mind would think this is the best move? He's had enough. Shouta stood up abruptly, ignoring the following conversation as he walked out of the room. He could hear Hizashi's heeled boots clack behind him.

"You ok, Shouta? I know you and that little listener talk sometimes. And he's close to Toshi, right?"

"Yeah..." Shouta mumbled, slowing his steps until Hizashi was beside him, "fuck, I don't know if Midoriya can pay for the court fees, Hitoshi mentioned that the boy had money troubles."

Hizashi intertwined his hand with Shouta's, placing a small kiss on his knuckles, "Aw, you've grown attached, huh?" he joked, "Don't sorry Shouta, we'll figure this out. How about we meet the listener? We can give him a heads up?"

God he loved his husband.

Izuku sighed, running his fingers through his curly abomination he calls hair. His money was sparse, if he deducts the price of the rent, he'd only have around 3000 yen for the month. He could always use the money left for him, but it was originally for school tuition. All the inheritance from mom wouldn't be able to get accessed by Izuku until he was 18, and the HeroTube Adsense helps, but since he's only gotten substantial view for literally 4 days, the load it helped carry was minimal.

Who knew living alone in an apartment very near central Musutafu is expensive?

Izuku was brought out of his almost crying fest by a ding coming from his phone. It was the special one he set for his personal email, he didn't want to accidentally miss it from ignoring Twitter notifications. It was off, usually it was only Eraserhead and some promotion emails from random mail lists he subscribes to. It was nothing, probably. Izuku doubted it was the hero, as he usually emails him on Wednesdays, more so just to check on him (Izuku didn't let his head wonder why the hero would do that, it obviously wasn't to make sure he didn't spill any secrets, since the hero hasn't mentioned Izuku's analysis of him since the first email).

Curious, and willing to do anything but focus on his money hardships, Izuku opened the email.

Kid, this is pretty urgent. I can't tell you much here, it's more of a face to face conversation. I know you live in Musutafu, meet me here [Location attached] at 2:00 today. Bring your guardian, tell me ahead of time if you really can't make it, but I hope you do for the sake of your HeroTube career.

Eraserhead.

If that wasn't concerning. What has Izuku done that warranted such an urgent email? Did someone find his honestly very suspicious google searches about heroes? Look, Izuku knows searching 'Is it possible to overheat someone with fire immunity' is suspicious, but he wasn't going to actually do anything. He doesn't even tell the public that!

Is it because he mentioned that he got some help from the Resume Charity? It wasn't like he scammed them, his house was genuinely destroyed (destroyed is sort of an understatement especially since he did it on purpose and-) and he is sure that the charity does a thorough check before giving the money.

Maybe he's overthinking this- oh who was he kidding he's obviously overthinking this.

It was still 10am, so Izuku decided to ignore his probably impending doom (by Eraserhead of money, whichever came first) and finished up his assignments for that day. By the time Izuku was done it was still only 1pm.

Sighing, Izuku decided to get ready early, maybe he can find a villain fight to analyze later on. Izuku changed into a short sleeved shirt with pajamas written on the front, not wanting to sweat since it was summer currently. After a short glance around his apartment, Izuku left the safe space, locking the door behind him.

Maybe he should've worn some sort of hat, because not a block away from his house someone stopped him, "Oh. Em. Gee! You're like- that Yume boy, right?" Izuku's eyes widened, freezing momentarily. The person who called him was a blond girl and looked around his age. "You are...right?" She tilted her head.

"U-uhm, y-yeah that's me. H-hi..." Izuku mumbled, fiddling with his fingers. "That's like- so cool. Can you take a pic with me? That would be amazing", she smiled, and of course Izuku has to agree, it's the first fan he's met face to face.

"Um, sure. I guess? If you can please don't tag the location, I don't want people to know where I am.." he trailed off, god he was not good at this. "Oh of course! Say cheese!!" She said out of the blue, only giving Izuku time to smile awkwardly. "Oh my god, you are so cute. Anyways, I have to go. Bye, Yume!" She walked away sending a flying kiss to Izuku.

That was... an experience..?

Izuku snapped out of his mini trance, Izuku wondered around the area, checking his phone for any news. The location Eraserhead sent was... a cat cafe-? Interesting, but not surprising from the amount of photos people got of him purely because he was distracted by those felines.

Peeking inside the cafe, Izuku spotted a boy in the back with black hair, another one with purple next to a blonde haired person, but no one who looked like Eraserhead. Izuku still had 40 minutes until the agreed time, so the green haired boy wandered around the nearby park. It was mainly empty (as expected for a Tuesday), so Izuku chose a bench to sit down on and enjoy the air.

Maybe a few minutes passed when Izuku felt someone sit down beside him. Odd, since there were other benches empty, but whatever. Until they spoke up. "You're that Yume dude, right?" Izuku froze. The way they said the question was off. Izuku turned his head, seeing a tall man with dirty brown hair. "Uh- y-yeah that's me-"

A sudden shove to his chest made Izuku fall off the bench, the man now leering above him. "Who the fuck do you think you are, huh? Some wannabe hero brat?" Izuku gulped, shaking his head rapidly. His chest hurt, and his breathing was unstable. "You think you're better than the heroes, huh? I'll fucking-"

Izuku heard a whipping sound, and suddenly the man was enveloped in some kind of white fabric. White fabric like... Izuku's eyes widened, following the fabric back to- Eraserhead!

"H-hey! Let me go! You shouldn't be saving this brat. Y-you're a hero, right? He mocked-" The capture weapon (so cool!!!) wrapped around the man's mouth, leaving his words muffled. "You really shouldn't be picking fights, kid."

"E-eraserhead! I wasn't- uh- I-" Izuku couldn't form words, he was there, in front of his, the actual Eraserhead! Like- in real life- clear- majestic- and Izuku snap out of your fanboy-ing.

"C'mon kid", Eraserhead (the Eraserhead) called, "the police will handle him. We'll be late, and he's already getting suspicious."

Izuku nodded, quickly getting off of the ground and following behind the hero. "Uh- who's 'he'?" All Eraserhead did was smirk.

Am I in danger?

Hitoshi grumbled, shoving a spoon of pavlova into his mouth. Dad was being suspicious, suddenly asking them to go to a cat cafe. Not that he was complaining, but from the awful mood they had when they came back from that meeting, maybe they just wanted to loosen up. Still didn't explain why they were glancing at him every once in a while, Pops was giggling like a teenager and Dad was checking his phone a lot.

Hitoshi sighed, looking out the front of the cafe to see when Dad was coming back from his 'bathroom break' (which is his way of saying 'I'm going to find some stray cats to feed them') when Hitoshi saw- Midoriya? Hitoshi blinked, rubbing his eyes and yes- it was Midoriya with his dad right behind him what is happening-

"My husband and son are here", Hitoshi could hear his dad say. "You have a husband and son-?!" Midoriya's eyes glowed with excitement. "Dad? Midoriya? What are you-" The green haired boy paused, tilting his head at Hitoshi before-

"Shinsou?! W-what you didn't tell me your dad was Eraserhead!! You- you knew!" The boy's face turned an embarrassed red, before plopping down next to Hitoshi. "Wait- you didn't know I was coming?"

Hitoshi grumbled, facing his Pops, "You knew didn't you? That's why you were acting all giddy?"

His Pops just laughed, "But your face was so hilarious-" Midoriya gasped, "Oh my fucking god- Present Mic-?!"

"Yup! That's me little listener! Although, keep it shush, yeah?" Midoriya nodded hastily, making Pops smile. "Where's your guardian, listener?"

Midoriya tensed, "I- uh, they're...busy?" Dad tsked, "Is that a question?" The underground hero raised a brow.

"I- uhm, no? They're busy. Yes."

"Very believable, kid. Tell me the truth."

"I- I live uh- alone. Um, my mom died last year and I don't know where my dad is..."

What.

Izuku held his breath, waiting for the two heroes, or at least Shinsou (god having two heroes as parents that's so cool--) to speak up. The table was silent, before Present Mic let out a small, fuck.

The two heroes looked at each other, communicating silently. Izuku glanced at his editor, who looked equally as confused but also... worried? Why?

"Is everything ok, Present Mic?" Izuku mumbled. "Ah- call me Yamada, listener. And you can call Shou Aizawa. Who- who takes care of you?"

"Oh. I take care of myself. I have a job at a grocery store nearby my house and my landlord gives me discounts so..."

The two heroes were now staring at him worryingly, and Shinsou's brows were furrowed.

"Fuck, ok. Kid, Deatharms is wanting to sue you."

Izuku felt his heart stutter, his hands became clammy.

"W-what?" His voice cracked, no, no, no- he doesn't- he can't-

"Midoriya, hey, breath", Shinsou said, making sure Izuku could see him. "I- I- can't-"

A sudden fog filled up Midoriya's mind, it was cloudy, unfocused and hazy. "Calm down," a voice cut through it all, "breath with me. In, out. In, out. That's good, keep doing it, in, out."

Suddenly he was back in the cafe, his breathing normal and his mind calm. "Sorry," Shinsou mumbled, shifting away from Izuku slightly, "...wanted to calm you down..."

"Midoriya", Eraser- Aizawa called, "We'll find a solution. First things first though, eat something. I'm sure you haven't had lunch. I'll pay for you."

Izuku nodded slowly, pointing to some random sandwich on the menu. A soft conversation rose from Aizawa and Yamada, while the two teens were in an awkward silence.

"S-so..." Izuku mumbled, "finished that documentary you were editing?"

Shinsou huffed, amused. "Not yet, Loud Claw wouldn't stop...."

Izuku went home with a promise of a more in depth talk. Aizawa-san mumbled something about rats, so Izuku decided not to push it. Shinsou was even more sarcastic in real life. It was interesting though, putting a face to the voice that was by his side for the past month. (Izuku was also ready to spam Shinsou with messages about how the purple haired boy betrayed him by not telling Izuku about the two heroes he lives with, but that was future Shinsou's problem)

Transcript of "Small break, sorry!!!"

by coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video is a short one, opening immediately with Yume sitting on the couch, skipping the intro. Yume is dressed in what looks to be basic house wear, shorts with a sweater which was blank. A small text in white appears, 'Oh so he does have normal clothes']

Yume: Hey guys! This isn't going to be a long video or anything. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I'll be taking a short break from uploading, so don't be surprised if I don't post anything this Sunday. I'm very thankful for all the support I've gotten recently!

[Yume pauses, most likely thinking about what to say next]

Yume: I can't really say why I'm going on a break, just know that I'm perfectly fine and healthy, and that I will come back. On a lighter note though, I met Editor-kun for the first time today! He's very good looking!

[The text appears again, showing 'no im not']

Yume: And also looked sleep deprived. Editor-kun you better not be editing this at 3am.

[Another small white text appears, 'you're not the boss of me', before flashing to '...' and then finally to 'ok you kinda are but shut up']

Yume: Anyway- that's all for this short video! I'll see you guys after this break, bye!!

Eraserhead
Damn you, rat
I need your help

GOTW
Oh?

Chapter Text

"So," the rat started, sipping his tea innocently, "What do you need help with, Aizawa?"

Don't act like you don't know.

Shouta sighed, relenting. He'd tried so hard to keep Midoriya away from Nezu's circle, or anyone's circle basically, but he knew that the rat wouldn't do anything to harm children.

"I think you've seen the drama with Deatharms and Yume. The kid needs help."

The rat just smiles, "And I assume you have had prior contact with Midoriya-kun? You were the one that warned him about the law suit, no?" The rat's eyes were mischievous, calculating.

Shouta would like to say he was surprised that the rat knew the boy's real name or about their talks, but is he really? Ignoring the question, Shouta pushed his focus.

"He doesn't have the resources to win this case and you're the only person I know can help. This kid lives alone, he's barely surviving with the money he has. I already contacted Tsukauchi to ask about the kid's family but he hasn't reported back yet."

The rat took another sip of his tea, seemingly thinking. "I'll help Midoriya-kun, but I wish to see him in person. I have a preposition."

Shouta's eyes narrowed, "You're not going to deny help if he declines whatever you're offering, right?"

"Oh of course not! That boy has a brilliant mind, I think a little conversation would be fun!"

Shouta grunted, "Fine. I'll bring him with me tomorrow", he grumbled out, "And don't try to do anything funny." Shouta turned around, walking out of the office.

He heard the rat chuckle from behind him, "Me? I would never."

A knock erupted from Izuku's front door, cutting him from his school work.

Who could it be? Aizawa-san maybe? How'd he find my house?

Izuku opened the door to see a tall man in an overcoat. Please don't be a murderer, please don't be a murderer, please don't-

"Are you Midoriya Izuku?" The man asked, cutting Izuku from his thought spiral. Izuku nodded, "Y-yes. Do you... need anything?"

"I'm Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa from the Musutafu Police Department. You're Yume, right? The HeroTuber?"

Oh no- Oh no no no no- "Am I going to get arrested..." Izuku whimpered, trying to hide behind his door.

The detective looked shocked for a second before his expression softened, "Of course not, kid. I'm here on behalf of Eraserhead. I have some questions if you're comfortable with answering them. We can do it here if you prefer?"

Izuku hesitated, but it wasn't like he could do much to refuse. Plus, the man knew Eraserhead, so he was either an actual police officer or- y'know, a criminal who has heard of the hero.

Ok, maybe not the best vote of confidence.

Izuku backed away from the door, letting the man walk into his home. "Sorry for the intrusion", Tsukauchi-san announced (to who Izuku wasn't sure), taking off his shoes and waiting for Izuku to lead the way.

Izuku closed the door, eyeing the detective nervously as he walked them to the couch. "Do you uh- want something to drink or...?" Izuku winced at how his voice shook. "No thank you. If it's ok with you we can start?"

Izuku nodded, awkwardly sitting down next to the man. "Let's begin with how this will work, ok? I'll be recording this conversation for Eraserhead and for future reference. I am legally obligated to tell you about my quirk, Lie Detector, which lets me know if you're lying. I cannot turn it off."

Izuku felt his brain snap to attention, "How does it feel? Is it some kind of psychic ability? Like a form of mind reading? Does it detect half lies? What if you ask a question but it's not specific? Like you asked me what I was doing on Wednesday but I answered what I did the Wednesday 3 weeks ago? What about more subjective questions? What if they truly believe something even if it's factually wrong-?"

Izuku quickly covered his mouth, eyes wide as he looked at the detective.

He... wasn't mad. Or creeped out.

"Oh wow, people don't usually ask that. I'm not sure about most of those questions honestly. We could test them later if you want?"

"Really?! I- I mean- really...? I don't want to be a bother..."

The detective chuckled, "It's no problem, really. We should get to the questions, ok?"

Izuku nodded, his nervousness gone and now excited to dissect the new interesting quirk.

Tsukauchi-san took out a recorder of some kind, making sure Izuku saw it turning on. "This is Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa of the Musutafu Police Department. Today is Wednesday XX June 2XX1, please state your name, age and quirk."

Izuku squirmed, "Midoriya Izuku, 14....Quirkless..."

Tsukauchi-san didn't react outwardly, continuing with his questions, "Who are you living with?"

"I uh- live alone.

"Where are your parents?"

"My mom is deceased, I don't know where my dad is."

Tsukauchi nodded, writing something down, "When was the last time you've seen your father?"

Izuku stiffened, "I- uhm, when I was 4?" Tsukauchi paused, looking up. "That's a lie, kid." Izuku frowned, fiddling with his fingers, "I he uh- came back once last year. Argued with mom."

"Do you remember when this happened?"

"March 3rd last year..."

Tsukauchi nodded, noting it down. "How are you paying for your rent?"

"My landlord doesn't charge me as much as she should, uhm, I work part-time at the store nearby, I sold some of my old hero merch too. I don't get any inheritance until I'm of age..." Izuku trailed off awkwardly, looking up at the man.

The detective smiled softly, ruffling Izuku's hair, "You're a strong kid, Midoriya. Eraserhead will contact you soon, don't worry about the law suit, we're handling it."

Izuku felt tears well up a bit, he's been unconsciously pushing his feelings about the possible suit away, trying his best not to think about how much it could ruin his life. He nodded, "Thank you Tsukauchi-san."

"Nothing to thank me for, kid. Eraser's doing most of the work, thank him later. I'll be going kid." Izuku nodded vigorously, leading the detective out.

Izuku sighed, Time to get back to school...

Izuku followed behind the underground hero, anxiousness settling in. The adrenaline rush that came from being in UA has worn of and Izuku didn't know what to expect.

Apparently Nezu (the Nezu) wanted to meet with him. Him. Aizawa-san didn't explain what the principal wanted to talk about (although he did keep muttering about rats like Shinsou said), so the silence between them wasn't helping.

They arrived at what Izuku assumed was Nezu-san's office, the door opening before Aizawa-san could even knock on it. Interesting.

Nezu-san was sitting at his office, sipping a cup of (presumably) tea. "Hello, Midoriya-kun."

Izuku stiffened, "O-oh, hello Nezu-san..."

Aizawa-san scoffed beside him, but said nothing as he sat down in front of Nezu, "C'mere kid."

Izuku nodded, fast-walking to the chair beside the hero.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Midoriya-kun!"

"N-nice to meet you too..."

Nezu-san smiled, taking a slow sip of his tea. "I heard you're in a... predicament"

Izuku chuckled nervously, "I think that's an understatement..." Aizawa-san huffed.

Nezu hummed, "Yes, I guess it is no? Well no worries, I shall handle everything."

Izuku stared dumbly, "W-wait. What?"

Nezu smiled, "I very much respect you, Midoriya-kun", Izuku blinked, "I see potential in you."

Izuku felt his cheeks heat up in embarrassment, "Thank you, sir..."

"Now, I have an offer for you."

Huh?

Transcript of "Second Channel :D"

by coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video opens with the usual bunny intro, before cutting to Yume on his bed]

Yume: Hey guys! I'm back!

[The usual small text of Editor-kun appears, 'damn i can never escape']

Yume: This video is another small announcement! First of all, thank you for all the nice comments and DMs when the news about the law suit came out. I'm fine now, it's been officially dropped-

Yume: *muttering* thank god-

Yume: -so there's no need for worry! Videos are going to be out as normal!

[Yume smiles, and another text appears, 'fan girls here they come']

Yume: Another announcement is that I have a second channel!!

[Yume does jazz hands as a confetti effect appears with a cheering sound]

Yume: It's mainly for videos about my life, so I can keep all the hero analysis separate from my personal stuff. I'll upload once in while-

[The text appears again, 'less sleep for me', before turning to 'jk idk who sleep is']

Yume: -with videos like QnA or vlogs- *muttering* my life isn't that interesting though -or uh- gameplays? I don't know really haha...

Yume: Anyway- it's called Genjitsu, the link is in the description!

['I genuinely don't know why, but go subscribble or sumthin']

Yume: That's all! There's a link in the description, see you guys uhhhhhh- next Sunday! Bye!

[The video ends]

"Now, I have an offer for you."

Izuku tilts his head, tapping his fingers lightly on the teacup he's holding.

Nezu smiles, "How would you feel about going to UA for high school?" he says nonchalantly, taking another sip.

Izuku pauses, "W-wait-- You're serious?! I- I don't have money-"

Nezu chuckles, placing his cup of tea back onto the table, paws resting on the hard surface. "Money is no problem. With a brain like yours I'm sure you could get a scholarship by taking the test, you definitely qualify."

Izuku bites his lip, deep in thought. Nezu continues, "I would like to offer you a place here in UA. Of course, if you want to go to more specific courses you have to take the specified exam, but a place in General Studies could be yours. What do you say, Young Izuku?"

Izuku fidgets with his fingers, head buzzing with questions and solutions. Finally he looks up, making eye contact with the rat(?).

The door opens behind him, cutting Izuku off from answering. In walks in a disheveled old man. He looks familiar- Oh

"Ah, Yagi!" Nezu says cheerfully, "I didn't expect you to come at this time?"

"A-ah, I figured that I should give this before I forget..." All Might -or Yagi(?)- walks in, handing Nezu what seems to be...medical records?

All Might stands awkwardly beside the Principal, giving a short glance to Izuku. The boy meets the hero's gaze, keeping the eye contact until All Might looks away nervously.

"Thank you, Yagi. You can go now."

All Might nods, giving another short glance at Izuku before walking out.

Nezu looks back at Izuku, "I apologize for the interruption. Please, continue."

"I- who was that?" Izuku asks, gazing toward the door. "He's a representative of All Might?", Nezu says, eyeing Izuku for his reaction, which was confusion. "O-oh. Why?"

"Well, I guess it does no harm to tell you, but All Might will be teaching at UA next year. Is that a problem?"

Izuku pauses, taking a sip of his tea. All Might is going to teach at UA, huh...

Izuku puts down his cup.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept."

As soon as those words leave Izuku's mouth he freezes, Izuku what are you thinking?? Talking to the Principal of UA like that?! Instead of a screaming match though, Nezu's smile turns into a smirk.

"May I ask why?"

Izuku thinks of an appropriate reply, "I've... always wanted to be a hero. And then I was diagnosed as quirkless. If you- if you had offered me this a few months ago, I'd most likely accept. But now..." Izuku hesitates, "I think I've given up. It's- I finally have something that makes me happy, and I'm comfortable with it... I don't want to throw that away for an unrealistic dream." Izuku huffs a bit at his words, ah, how ironic.

Nezu nods, deep in thought. "You are interesting, Midoriya..."

"E-eh?!"

"Very well", Nezu concedes, "I do insist we find a guardian for you however. By going to UA you are placed as a ward of the school. Hmm, I shall think of a suitable person and contact you."

Izuku nods, his brain sort of forgetting about how his orphan(-ish) status will cause problems.

"Alright, thank you for meeting with me, Midoriya-kun. Aizawa will escort you out."

"Katsuki!!!"

Said boy scoffed, laying down on his bed, throwing a ball up and catching it. "Katsuki! You've been locked up in your room for days!" the old hag yells, her voice closer to the door of Katsuki's room.

"Shut up!" He yelled back, turning his back to the door. He heard a soft sigh outside, before the door opened gently. "Katsuki..." she whispered softly, approaching his bed, "..talk to me, kid."

She sat down on the edge of his bed, Katsuki grunting softly and the feeling of his mattress dipping. "Katsuki, we have to talk", she whispers, threading a hand through Katsuki's hair. The boy leaned into the contact subconsciously, before cursing at himself and pulling away.

"There's nothing to talk about..." he grumbled, grabbing the hand in his hair, shoving it away. The old hag sighed again. "This isn't healthy for you, Kats. You've eaten less, the teacher says you're quieter at school, and you mope in your room half of the time."

Katsuki huffed, curling into himself more.

"How do you feel..." The old hag started, making Katsuki nervous, "..about going to therapy?"

Katsuki felt his heart pound. "What?!" Katsuki sat up, the ball in his hand flying away. "I'm not fucking weak!" he growled, grasping his blanket in his hands.

The old hag gives him a sad look, and Katsuki feels anger boil into him. He doesn't want fucking pity, he doesn't need it. He won't have it when he's number one!

"Going to therapy doesn't make you weak, kid. You've been through a villain attack, no one will blame you if you need a little help-" Katsuki cut her off, "That's the point! I don't need help! I'll be strong on my own!"

"Katsuki", she said, "I know you don't like it, but this isn't healthy, kid." She ruffled her hand through Katsuki's hair. "Try it, please. You don't have to tell anyone about it, no one needs to know. Just- try, please."

Katsuki glared at the woman, but seeing the pure hopefulness in her eyes, he huffed. "Fine", he grumbled, laying back down, facing the wall. He heard Mitsuki whisper something, before she stands back up, exiting the room.

Katsuki scowled, fuck this.

He took his phone out from under his pillow, searching mindlessly for a distraction.

yo
heard from dad that u rejected ua
r u sure-

Yeah!
I feels like a natural choice, I guess?
Like,, letting go of the past...
...should I have accepted it?

nah, i trust ur judgement
kinda sad we cant see each other during school

...
O m g
I knew you wanted to go to UA
but it didn't process until now

.
sometimes i wonder how ur so smart yet
so dumb

You wound me.

Wait-
Do you know what the UA exam are?

nope,
dad and pops wouldn't tell me
makes it 'fair'
(as if having a disadvantage w/ a
mental quirk is fair)

Wait- really??

yeah, surprised you dont know
dad had to use the sports fest to get into the hero course

W h a t
That's not fair >:((

boy do ik that

...u ok? uve been gone for a bit

I CAN TELL THE PEOPLE

🧍♂️
calm down sir

efeufh sorry Shinsou :D
I meant- I can warn more people, right?
Or at least my viewers

damn u helping my competition
b e t r a y a l

I mean-
but-
:(

...stop that

:((

no

[selfie of pouty Izuku]

...ok that's enough-
you can make the vid j e e z
if it helps more people like me get in then idm

Like you?

villain quirk and all that

There are no villain quirks???
Wait
You've never actually told me your quirk--

oh yeah
its uh
brainwashing

Oh! That's so cool!
What are your limitations?? Can you make people talk??
OMG CAN YOU MAKE THEM GIVE UP ANSWERS?? LIKE
DURING POLICE QUESTIONING????

Shinsou?

You ok??

yeah um, sorry
im not used to people being ok with it
pops had to calm me down haha...

Oh.

Hitoshi felt his heart beat pick up when Midoriya stopped typing. Did he fuck it up? Midoriya's never going to talk to me again. Fuck, Hitoshi you dumb bitch-

Suddenly the phone rang, and Hitoshi instinctively answered it.

"You're not a villain!" was the first thing Hitoshi heard as soon as he picked up. "M-Midoriya?"

"You're not a villain, Shinsou! Your quirk, or lack thereof, doesn't define you!!"

Ah, Hitoshi forgot that Midoriya is quirkless. He's already so amazing that something like a quirk seems insignificant to his entire- him.

Hitoshi let out a small huff, "Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that, Midoriya."

"That's what friends do! I- I think? I don't know, I never had a proper friend in a long time..." Midoriya trailed off awkwardly, making Hitoshi chuckle. "Same, I guess we're both loners?"

Midoriya giggled in reply, and Hitoshi had to suppress the urge to clench his heart. "Yup!" the younger one agreed, amusement in his voice, "We're the loners. Omg- if we make a channel we can call it that-"

"Woah- woah, calm down, you just launched a second channel, no need for a third one", Hitoshi sighed out, slightly amazed by how much the other boy loves making videos.

Midoriya giggled again, "You never know~" he said, making Hitoshi's heart skip a beat. "I- I need to go!" Hitoshi said abruptly. "O-oh? Sure-? Bye, Shinsou!!"

Hitoshi smiled, "Bye, Midoriya."

The video opens with the familiar intro, revealing a smiling Yume in a light blue 'jeans' t-shirt. The boy waves to the camera, "Hey guys! Yume here, and today we're doing a different video! I'm pretty sure most of you are hero fans-" Yume giggles, "-and I'm guessing there are some out there who are wanting to try out for some hero schools!"

The video transitions to a white background with multiple famous hero schools plastered on. "The best hero school is UA, located East, followed by Shiketsu in the West! Even though they are the best in name, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best for you, and I'm going to tell you why here! I know the entrance exams are a few months away, but some of these tips probably needs more than a month to work on, so I'm making this early!"

"....however, you can try and get in through the sports festival, yes, the Sport Festival that is aired live on TV! If you do good enough, you could transfer into the hero course at UA. Of course, not many people have done this, but it's definitely possible, so keep this as a warning too, someone could steal your spot right under your nose! Now, what is the UA entrance exam?" Yume pauses as the camera zooms in, the background song speeds up as to make you a bit hyper.

"I don't know, lol" Yume reveals, a booing sound effect playing. "Don't be like that, Editor-kun, I know you're adding boo sounds", Yume waves his hand around, the camera moving along with it (also includes sword sound effects!) before landing back onto the HeroTuber. "UA is infamous for their high security and privacy, so information like this doesn't leak easily. All the examinees need to sign NDAs, which includes the written exam, the practical exam if you're taking specific courses, the layout of the school, the teachers, et cetera! Of course, this doesn't apply to all the hero schools, like Ketsubutsu, who..."

"...you should definitely focus on Science and real life examples, most hero schools are well- hero schools, so they prioritize the hero students. A good hero should be able to think logically, and most hero schools who release their exam questions so kids can study them seem to follow this pattern. Again, top hero schools like UA and Shiketsu keep their exams hush hush, so I can't really promise anything, but I'm sure it will some handy in some kind of situation!" Yume chuckles awkwardly.

"Other than that, language is something you should focus on. Most schools have an interview phase, especially tops schools -although from what I've managed to gather UA doesn't have one?- or at the very least an oral exam. Nekoma High School, which is definitely a hero school, is also famous for their debate team, and thus test their potential students on it. English is also important if..."

"...exercise would also be a good idea. Keep up a healthy diet and be ready for a lot of physical activities. A part of Amemaru High School's test is the classic physical test plus some endurance. Kitagawa has been rumoured to make their participants do a gymnastics-esk test, so flexibility would definitely help you in the long run."

"And that concludes this video on some tips for hero school entrance exams! Even if you aren't aiming for the hero course, I hope this video gives you some insight on how to get ready for entrance exams! If any of you are interested, I could make a video on how I make my notes, but that'll be on my... second channel! If you didn't know I have one now", Yume laughs, "the link will be in the description! That's all for this video, bye!" Yume smiles to the camera, before the video cuts out, a soft outro playing in the background, slowly fading out.

Chapter Text

Yume was a mystery to the world. He showed his face, his voice, his room, yet not much is known about him in depth. Ever since his boom in views, multiple discussions have been held, theorizing about the HeroTuber.

It was interesting, and more so when you realize that HeroTuber himself doesn't seem to be aware of the speculation around him. His age, his motives, his quirk. There are rumours of course, whispers all across the internet from 'friends' or 'classmates' or 'family', but no solid evidence was ever submitted afterward.

Popular ones were the obvious theories you could think of instantly. Yume looked and sounded young enough to be a middle or high schooler, yet the way he presents himself (aside from the merch he shows off every now and then) and his videos show some type of college or university level student. Most people agreed on teenager though.

The most hot topic of his to talk about would be his quirk. The obvious analysis quirk was brought up a lot, with multiple detailed posts on forums providing 'evidence'. There were more speculative theories, a memory quirk, a 'detective' quirk, as they put it, but in general some kind of intelligence boosting quirk.

There was one post that caught a bit of traction before it got taken down for quirkism and ableism. A theory, or more accurately an "exposing" post about the HeroTuber being quirkless. The post itself was very aggressive in its wording, with the addition of the OP alluding to them knowing Yume personally, them being a 'buddy' and 'pal' to the boy. It was shot down by most, in a brutal manner with all honestly.

The comments were ruthless, 'defending' Yume, saying that someone as smart as him couldn't be 'one of those', or that he wasn't a 'defect' or that 'they don't exist anymore'.

Some comments were more logical, however most had some kind of hint toward quirkism, whether it was intentional or not, it definitely has some prejudice sprinkled into them.

Thankfully the post didn't get far, and was deleted in a few hours. Most people shrugged it off as some sort of shit post or troll, and the internet moved on.

Little do they know.

("A-achoo!" Izuku sniffled, wiping his nose. "Are you sick? That's the 12th one in a row," Shinsou asked through the call, the microphone picking up on the clicking of his mouse. "Yea, must be someone talking about me..." Shinsou hummed.)

Some people have done digging on the kid, although his description is infamous among his long time fans to be... long. Very long.

The full thing could be paragraphs followed by paragraphs, which amounted to a long ramble of whatever the video was talking about, with extra details for those who are interested, along with all of his sources. It calmed down since this 'Editor-kun' came by, although he did admit that he barely cuts what Yume sends him, either because he doesn't understand it enough to cut anything out or just because he doesn't care.

Under the long description would be Yume's social media accounts. His twitter and blog (which is basically the transcript of some videos he makes (but with more details) and some extra content that was too short for a video or on a topic Yume perceives as uninteresting for his HeroTube audience.

Below that though, is a link to the previously mentioned 'Editor-kun'. Not many people see it, somehow, but it brings you to his twitter and his youtube channel, 'coffecat'. Oh what a channel it is.

loud claw

by coffecat

The video opens with a compilation of cat photos, particularly focusing on a white, almost light blue cat, with a soft jazz-style song in the background. The pictures blur, while the title, 'loud claw: a documentary'

"Loud Claw" a voice starts, low and deep, "a Turkish Angora. He was adopted by my family 13 years ago, named after an old friend of my parents," the voice finishes. The video cuts to a scene of Loud Claw pawing at a ball on a string. "This 10 pound cat is a sociable fellow, often seen playing with the other felines", the voice states, cutting to a clip of Loud Claw chasing another cat.

"Let's interview the rest of the family," he says, now cutting to a small microphone held to a dark blue cat. At the bottom left corner said 'Prince'. "So, Prince, what are your thoughts on Loud Claw?" The cat meows a few times.

["He's loud. And runs a lot. Fun guy, but I wish he stops biting into me when I'm a plush"]

"What do you like most about Loud Claw?" The voice asks again, ignoring the fact that the cat was sniffing the mic.

[He nuzzle me at night, it's warm"]

"What do you hate the most about him?" Prince purrs, letting out a small mewl.

["His bites"]

The video cuts to a different cat, a dark grey cat that is missing an ear. The name at the bottom left wrote 'Bastard'. "Hey, Bastard," the voice says, aiming the microphone at the cat, who looks away.

"What do you think about your little brother, Loud Claw?" Bastard looks anywhere but the camera.

[(Silence)]

"What is your favourite thing about him?"

[(Silence)]

"What's the thing you hate the most about him?"

[*Walks away*]

Bastard walks away as the camera pans, following her until she walks out of the door. The voice sighs, "She's Bastard for a reason."

A new cat appears on screen, a ginger calico. The name reads 'Present Meow'. The cat purrs into the microphone, nuzzling into the hand holding said mic.

"Hey, Meow. How are you today?" The cat meows cheerily.

["I'm doing great!]

"What do you think about Loud Claw?" Another hand appears in frame, scratching one of Present Meow's ears. The cat purrs again, letting out small mews.

["He's great! We chase each other a lot!!"]

"Really?" The hand moves to pet the cat. "What's your favourite thing about him?"

["His energy!! I love playing with him!"]

"One final question, kitty. What do you hate the most about him?" The cat pauses, as if to think about it.

["He steals Yellow a lot :("]

The voice chuckles, "Alright, thanks Meow." The cat licks the voice's hand, before seeing something off screen and running off to chase it.

Finally, the video cuts to the cat himself, Loud Claw. He mewls, pawing at the microphone a bit. "How would you describe yourself?"

["Fun! And cheery and cuddly!"]

"How would you list your siblings from best to worse?"

["Present Meow is number one! And then Bastard and then Prince cause he doesn't like it when I bite him >:("]

"What are your thoughts on living here?"

["Amazing! Yellow cuddles with a me a lot and Black's pats are nice!"]

"What about me?"

["More head pats!"]

The voice lets out an amused huff, reaching the other hand to head pat Loud Claw. He bops his nose into the hand. "That's it, Claw. Thanks, kit.

Chapter Text

10 months later

Hitoshi played with a nail on his hand, the other hand tugging slightly on his tie. He was nervous, probably, maybe...

Definitely.

He knew he should enter the class, standing in front of the classroom would do no good.

It's surreal. Being in front of Class A.

He made it, somehow. He got into the hero course, with the help of Dad and Pops and Midoriya-

A sigh came out of him, his hand slowly reaching up to slide the door open, You couldn't even get here without help. The first day hasn't even begun yet he already felt left behind.

A sudden loud yell from inside the class made Hitoshi panic on instinct, nearly slamming the door open. A blond boy was yelling at Tenya, for 'having a stick up his ass' (ok that was a pretty good roast though) before Tenya turned around.

"Oh! Hello, Hitoshi! I'm glad to see you get in!!" He did his weird hand thing, approaching the purple haired boy. Hitoshi nodded, taking a small step back to distance himself from getting chopped.

A scoff made Hitoshi's focus shift, his eyes landing back to the blond earlier. He's familiar, although Hitoshi couldn't figure out from where. Shrugging to himself slightly, Hitoshi goes to walk to his table before he felt eyes on the back of his head.

Swirling around, Hitoshi came face to face with his dad, professionally dressed in his bright yellow caterpillar looking ass sleeping bag, on the ground, laying there.

If this is a dream please let me wake up right now.

Hitoshi's dad zipped down the sleeping bag, slurped up a jelly packet, and stood as if this was an everyday occurrence. (Technically, it was, but never with such a straight face and at literal school)

"It took you 8 seconds to notice me" No?? I felt when your eyes landed on me? Hitoshi raised an eyebrow, hidden from the rest of the class. Dad just sent a smirk back.

"Wear these, meet me at the training grounds. Don't be late."

Hitoshi blinked.

Hitoshi grumbled under his breath as the brown haired girl complained about missing orientation.

I know they don't know dad but does he really look like an 'Oops, I forgot about orientation! Let's go together now!' type of guy.

Hitoshi watched as Dad called on a 'Bakugou', asking him to throw a ball with his quirk. Explosions.

Ah, so that's where he knows him from. Hitoshi wondered distantly how the blond would react if Midoriya excepted UA's offer.

Someone yelled about how fun it would be.

Annoyed, Dad announced, "So this looks fun, huh? You have three years here to become a hero. You think it’s gonna be games and playtime? Idiots,” Dad said, grinning. “Today you’ll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately."

Hitoshi sucked in a breath. What?

Logically, he knew the chance of him actually being expelled was low. It's his dad afterall, one who's known for logical ruses and knows how much effort Hitoshi's put into getting into the hero course.

...but goddammit did it not calm Hitoshi down.

All Hitoshi could do was hope that Dad didn't force him to use his quirk. Not on the first day.

"Why aren't you using your quirk?" Dad commented, eyeing Hitoshi as if he didn't already know and is just trying to piss Hitoshi off.

"...My quirk isn't physical....sir." Hitoshi mumbled, giving a side-glare to the hero. Fuck you, Dad.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hitoshi saw the blond -Bakugou- snap his head to look at him, a suspicious look on his face.

"And you think that's an excuse? You got in despite the biased exam, don't make me think that you got in based of off luck."

It sounded condescending, but Hitoshi knew it was a way of encouraging the boy.

Hitoshi took a breath, "The rules are that I have to stay in the circle, right?"

Dad smirked, nodding at the question.

Hitoshi took another breath, before turning to face the rest of the class. "The gravity girl, can you come here for a sec?"

The girl seemed confused, but took a step forward towards Hitoshi. The purple haired boy signaled her closer, reaching a hand out. The girl, although hesitant, took Hitoshi's hand.

"Can I use my quirk on you?" Hitoshi asked, looking into her eyes to make sure she took the question seriously. "Uhm- sure, I guess?" Hitoshi took control of her.

The boy passed his ball to the girl, "Use your quirk and throw it as far as you can."

Hitoshi cringed at the emotionless expression on her face, her movements robotic as she took the ball and threw it. Infinity. That was what he got.

The pale boy sighed internally when he could finally let go of the girl, ignoring her possible disgust (and the murmurs from the rest of the class) and looking at his dad instead, who gave a small nod.

"Excuse me", the girl said, making Hitoshi stop and turn towards her, "What... happened?"

Hitoshi played with his fingers behind his back, "It's my quirk... I'm sorry..."

The girl gave him a confused look, but sensed Hitoshi's discomfort and decided to just nod, walking back to her place beside Tenya.

Hitoshi made eye contact with Bakugou for a second as he was walking back to his previous spot.

The look was unsettling.

Transcript of 'Playing Minecraft ft. Editor-kun!! (@coffecat)

By coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video opens with an intro for the second channel. It was a compilation of short clips of Yume. Notable ones include the boy being chased by ducks, him choking on something and a scene of Yume walking into a lamppost]

[The intro cuts out, revealing Yume, wearing headphones (with bunny ears crudely attached with tape), smiling at the camera]

Yume: Hey guys! Welcome to another video on Genjitsu!

[Fake confetti and a cheering sound effect is added as Yume cheers]

Yume: In the last video I asked for game suggestions for me to play, and you guys delivered! Today we're playing uh- Mineblocks?

?: It's Minecraft.

Yume: Minecraft, right! Wait- let me do it again, I haven't revealed you yet!!

?: I'm keeping this in. And doesn't the title reveal it anyway?

Yume: Yeah... but it's no fun! Today I'm joined with...

[Dramatic drum rolls play]

Yume: ...Editor-kun!!! Or as he's known coffecat!

Editor-kun: I think more people know me as Editor-kun than coffecat

Yume: Nonsense!

[Yume leans into the camera, a hand covering his mouth in mock-whisper]

Yume: Watch his video if you haven't already, link in the description

[A small text appears, 'No it's not']

Editor-kun: I can hear you y'know?

[Yume blinks in fake surprise]

Yume: I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway- onto the game! Minecraft is a pre-quirk era game that's still popular to this day...

Yume: Ok so... how do I make sticks again?

[Editor-kun sighs, exasperation evident in his voice, although a tint of amusement could be picked up]

Editor-kun: You put 2 planks on top of each other.

[Yume puts 2 planks into the crafting table, although it's in the same space]

Yume: ...it's not working

Editor-kun: ...is it on top of each other? As in one in the top space and the other in the one below it

[Yume stays silent for a second]

Yume: O H

[Yume fixes the placement of the planks, finally getting some sticks]

Yume: I got them!

[Yume smiles, a soft laugh can be heard from Editor-kun's mic]

Editor-kun: Alright, come into my house, it's almost nighttime

[Yume nods, although it's unclear whether Editor-kun can actually see him, and follows the other character]

Yume: What comes up at night?

Editor-kun: *hums* Zombies, skeletons, creepers-

Yume: *under his breath* Aw, man

[Editor-kun pauses walking, his character dramatically turning around]

Editor-kun: W h y ?

Yume: Why not?

Editor-kun: Why?

Yume: Why not?

Editor-kun: *sucks in a breath* But why t h o?

[The boys stand in silence, before bursting out laughing]

Editor-kun: I hate that we just- Yume, behind you!

[Yume spins around, seeing a creeper approaching him. The boy lets out a scream as the mob hisses, before exploding]

['Yume was blown up by creeper']

[Yume whines, but Editor-kun lets out a soft sigh]

Editor-kun: F in the chat boys

[Yume is now in a cave, an iron pickaxe in his hand and a wooden shield in his other hand. He was mining, although he keeps getting cut off by mobs attacking him]

[Editor-kun's character was hiding in a small hole, the person himself having to AFK for a short while]

Yume: Ooh! I found some more ai-ron

Yume: *hums a song* I wonder when Editor-kun is coming bac-

[Yume yelps as a skeleton starts shooting arrows at him, as the boy tries to fight back. As soon as he managed to kill the skeleton, a creeper appears, followed by two zombies behind it]

Yume: *screams bloody murder* AH THERE’S SO MANY- HELP! OH NO MY STUFF WAIT NO-

Editor-kun: I’m back, ish. What’s happening?

Yume: I’M DYING OVER HERE

Editor-kun: You can come in my hole if you want

[Yume splutters, his face turning red as he tries to focus on killing the mobs after him]

Yume: *incoherent screeching noises* DON’T SAY IT LIKE THAT?!? AH-

[A creeper blows up near Yume, the boy escaping with only a heart left]

Editor-kun: Don’t say it like what?

Yume: Nothing!

[Yume manages to run away fast enough to eat, his hearts slowly going back up again]

Editor-kun: Did you die?

Yume: I lived *beep*

Editor-kun: Noice

[Editor-kun mines out of his cubby hole, meeting Yume, who in real life looked like he was going to faint]

Editor-kun: Having fun?

Yume: *more incoherent screeching noises* nO!

[The boys were now near a pool of lava. Editor-kun is seen mining some diamonds he found, while Yume was staying a distance away from the hot liquid of death]

Editor-kun: Why are you so far away? There’s literally some diamonds over there

Yume: It’s scary! What if I die?? My precious stuff

[Yume pouts sadly, while Editor-kun chuckles a bit]

Editor-kun: What precious stuff? You literally died like 10 minutes ago and I had to give you a pickaxe

Yume: Shush, don’t tell them that!

Editor-kun: You have no power over me, mere mortal

Yume: Oh really?

[Yume smirks, his character walking up suspiciously close to Editor-kun's character]

Editor-kun: What’re you-

[Yume hits Editor-kun, knocking him into the lava]

['coffecat tried to swim in lava to escape Yume']

Editor-kun: NO! My precious diamonds…

Yume: *snickering (like the little shit he is)* Who’s the mortal now, peasant?

Editor-kun: You little-

[Muffled voices cut Editor-kun off, the word incoherent]

Editor-kun: I’m fine, Pops! Sorry!

Yume: OoOOooh, someone’s in trouble~

Editor-kun: Shut up you made me lose my precious diamonds

[Yume laughs as Editor-kun grumbles under his breath, distracted and thus not noticing that Editor-kun's character was now behind him]

Editor-kun: Karma’s a *beep*

[Yume screeches as Editor-kun knocks him into the lava just like he did to the other boy mere minutes ago]

Editor-kun: That’s why you don’t mess with me, mortal.

72 hours

The pen scratched the paper as Izuku was startled from his script writing. The knock on the door echoed throughout the room again, making Izuku's eyebrows furrow.

Who is that?

Izuku stood up, mind going a mile a minute, as he walked over to the door. On impulse, Izuku grabbed his scissors, which honestly wouldn't be that dangerous because it was a kid's version, but in that moment Izuku wasn't really thinking.

Izuku tip toed to look into the peephole but he could see nothing.

Izuku was getting more wary. Is this some sort of prank? Did someone find my address?

Holding the scissors in his one hand, Izuku carefully opened the door, the gap only big enough to pop his head out.

"Hello, Mr. Midoriya! It is I, Nezu, Principal of UA!!"

Izuku faltered, taking a step back and opening the door further. "E-eh, w-what are you doing here Nezu, s-sir?!"

The mouse-rat-thing didn't react to Izuku's surprise, instead smiling, "May I come in?" he said, walking in anyway.

The green boy stepped out of the rat's way in a daze, closing the door behind him.

"W-what can I do for you? Do you want something to drink o-or...?" Izuku trailed off, looking awkwardly at the ground. "Some tea would be nice", Nezu said, taking a seat on Izuku's sofa.

How many people can say that UA's principal has sat on their sofa? This is so cool!

Izuku nodded, walking to the kitchen to make some tea. He used the time to calm himself down, although in full honestly the principal would've probably been able to see the boy.

As Izuku placed a cup of tea in front of Nezu, the rat(?) smiled, reaching over to grab the warm leaf juice as he settled into the sofa.

The air wasn't necessarily awkward, but Izuku spoke up hesitantly, "I- uh, not that I don't like your company or anything I mean of course I do oh no please don't take offense ah I should stop rambling good job Izuku you messed up in front of UA's principal ah-"

Nezu chuckled, a high pitchy sound, as he raised a paw. "It's fine, Midoriya-kun. I supposed this visit is a little out of the blue, no? How have you been? I assume the money I send every month is enough?"

The reminder made Izuku's cheeks burn with embarrassment. It was unexpected, getting something other than bills and hero magazines (free, thank goodness) in the mail. Izuku was definitely hesitant to use the money, despite the long note that Nezu put reassuring that the money was for him until he could find a permanent placement for the boy.

“A-ah”, Izuku stuttered, “I’m very thankful for the money…” The boy lowered his gaze to his hands, which were fiddling in his lap. “I don’t think I can ever repay you…”

The principal just snickered lightly, “Repay? Oh no, my boy! Not only as a hero and as a teacher, but as a creature with common sense, I cannot by good conscious, let you work yourself to the ground just trying to survive. Food, water, shelter, clothes; they are a necessity and I would be happy to provide them for you.”

Izuku felt his eyes water, but he quickly wiped them away, “Thank you, Nezu sir!”

The chimera let out a tiny, almost silent cheep sound, making Izuku's eyes widen for a split-second before the hero clapped his paws.

"Well! To get to the point of my visit today, I finally found someone to take you in!"

Izuku's heart stopped. Was he going to be sent away? Would they accept his quirklessness? The statistics for quirkless orphans are very high, those were adopted are little, and the rate for those who get put into bad foster homes is supposedly "low" (but Izuku knows that isn't true, the rate is high, but no one cares enough to fix it or get an accurate rate). It's scary, and Izuku could feel his heart rate slowly rise.

Nezu must've noticed Izuku's lack of reply as he quickly continued, "I assure you he will not put you in harm's way. I trust him with my life, and I'm 100% confident he will not hurt you."

Izuku gave him a nervous look, playing with his fingers. "I- I'm not sure..." Izuku trailed off, "I can live by myself! Please, I- I don't want to be a bother!"

A sudden knock on the door brought Izuku out of his spiraling thoughts, "Ah! He's here" Nezu announced, standing up abruptly and waltzing over to the door, opening it without checking.

The detective walked in. Tsukauchi-san.

Izuku blinked a few times, before registering that one, the detective is here and he can finally ask about his amazing quirk and oh my god he's going to have custodyofmewhattheheck-

"Sorry for arriving late, Nezu, Midoriya-kun." Tsukauchi blanched, giving a small smile, "So, how are you doing, Midoriya-kun?"

"I- I'm doing good, Tsukauchi-san. Um- is he...?" Izuku looked toward the rat(?), shifting nervously in seat.

Nezu nodded slightly as the detective took a seat beside the hero. Izuku felt his fear dissipate slightly, Tsukauchi didn't seem to have a negative reaction when Izuku said he was quirkless the other day. (Although people can always lie, like Kacchan, like Mom, like-)

"As you can see", Nezu said, "Tsukauchi will be given custody of you for the time being, either until you turn 16 and decide to live alone -although we will still provide you money and food, or until you reach the age of adulthood.

Tsukauchi smiled, and Izuku felt his own creep onto his face.

24 hours

"So yeah- I got adopted, kinda?" Izuku sighed out, turning around in his bed. Tsukauchi-san ("Call me Naomasa if you'd like?" "Yes, Tsukauchi-san!") and him talked a lot after the initial bomb drop. Izuku was likely to move out to the detective's house, but as of that moment Tsukauchi would stay there for a few days. "I'm... nervous, I guess? He knows I'm-" Izuku lowered his voice, looking around nervously even though he knew logically no one could hear him in his own house, "...quirkless, but I get stiff around him and I guess I'm just waiting for him to put down his act? I don't know..."

The voice on the other line stayed silent for a while, and Izuku was about to call out to him again when Shinsou finally let's out a small hum.

"I get what you mean", he said, "I was like that too when I first got fostered." It took Izuku some time to remember that Oh yeah, Shinsou was also adopted. "I was still young, just around 6 or 7 at the time. Even then I was put off by how nice they were, most of the police officers who handled my sperm and egg donor were rude to me. I was so used to being mistreated that when I was finally being treated the way I should've been it was like a ticking time bomb for me. Like, 'When are they going to hit me?' or 'Am I going to get punished?' or 'When is the other shoe going to drop?' It took a long time for me to get used to being treated like a person."

Izuku paused for a second, he's never heard Shinsou talk that long, much less about his past that he avoided a lot. Ah, Izuku felt all warm inside, the fact that Shinsou trusted him that much...

"Ah," the voice rang again, "Sorry for dumping all of that on you. What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to adapt to it immediately. You're allowed to feel nervous, sad, grieve, whatever. Just take your time, I'm sure you'll feel safe."

Izuku felt his mouth curl up into a soft smile. "Besides, Tsukauchi-san's a nice guy", Shinsou said quietly, "...he believed me, even without the use of his quirk" he added as an afterthought, voice full of admiration and hope, "Anyway- you, Mr. I Wake Up At 5 AM Every Day, should go to sleep."

Izuku whined, "But-"

"No buts mister-" "Ha, 'butts' " "-go to sleep."

12 hours

Izuku let out a small huff as Shinsou replied to his mess called texts. It was fun, how comfortable he was with the purple haired boy though they've only met each other a few times.

gonna go to sleep now

You sleep?

bitch.
anyway
dad said that we have some sort of training tmrw
someplace called usj
so imma try and get some shut eye

Aww
Alright :(((
Goodnight Shinsou!!

Night.

1 hour

Izuku's brows furrowed as his texts were left unread. It wasn't too unusual, since Shinsou wasn't the type to check his texts every second, but it was odd that he didn't even read it during lunch.

I knew UA was a busy school, but Shinsou always replied before...

Tsukauchi-san got a call earlier, having to unfortunately leave Izuku alone for a bit, even though he was on leave. Izuku didn't mind much at first, since he was used to being alone. But now, a weird feeling was brewing in his gut. Tsukauchi-san still hasn't updated him on whatever was going on (he promised he would, and although Izuku knew better than to trust random adult's words, he believed the man wouldn't lie), and the added fact that Shinsou wasn't replying to his text, even his cat memes, was concerning.

Maybe he was just overthinking things. Maybe Shinsou was passed out from some kind of training, Aizawa-san was very harsh in his training. Or maybe his phone died, or the signal got blocked or maybe he realized that the people at UA were better than some quirkless kid and is trying to break their friendship by ignoring Izuku and-

No, Shinsou wouldn't do that.

Izuku let out a defeated grunt as he curled into himself, trying to sooth the growing pit in his stomach.

0 hours

Time ticked away slowly as Izuku distracted himself with his phone. Tsukauchi-san still hasn't updated him, the messaged to Shinsou were left unread. He even texted Aizawa-san, to which the messaged couldn't even be received.

Maybe there was some sort of signal block at UA?

Izuku shifted again on his couch, accidentally knocking the remote control of the TV off of a cushion. The plastic thing clacked onto the floor, it must've hit some button as the TV suddenly turned on.

Izuku's eyes widened as the broadcast of a cartoon was changed cut off by an emergency live news report, just as his phone vibrated with a notification.

Chapter Text

Shouto squinted his eyes as his thoughts wandered from the QnA video by the HeroTuber named Yume, who did that ‘exposing’ video that made father grumble for days. Does Best Jeanist have a mouth? Theoretically, there is a chance that he doesn’t have one, as even from his school days at UA, he covered his mouth.

With an approving nod, Shouto decided that, yes, Best Jeanist does not have a mouth.

Leaving a comment to solidify his belief, Shouto exited the website with a sense of completion.

He woke up the next day with a notification, his comment was hearted.

”I’m telling you Fuyumi, Gang Orca and Selkie are together. I swear I saw a picture of the two of them on a date”, Shouto insisted as he took another slurp of his cold soba. Father was out, so it was one of the few moments where the two siblings could talk to each other. Natsuo wasn’t home as always, preferring to stay out of the house for as long as possible.

”Shouto”, Fuyumi started, “Please, as much as I love hearing your thoughts, I don’t think my brain can handle any more of your theories, Shouto.”

The dual-haired boy paused, before nodding solemnly down at his soba. Fuyumi’s eyes widened as she quickly added, “Maybe you could make a blog or something like that? Oh! You can start one of those HeroTube channels, like that one you watch a lot… uh, Yume was it?”

Shouto blinked, his chopsticks pausing as his brain was filled with ideas. And with the added bonus that Father probably wouldn’t want his ‘masterpiece’ to do ‘something as dumb and naïve’ as ‘posting those childish videos on the internet’, Shouto felt his plan lock into place.

Fuyumi was regretting her words. The look on Shouto is odd.

Shouto fiddled with the camera he found randomly in one of the drawers. He didn't know who owned it honestly, none of his siblings ever expressed an interest in photography or videography of any kind (as far as he knew, although he didn't know much anyway, since Father separated them a lot).

The boy pulled the camera closer, squinting at the blinking red light. Did that mean it was off or it was on? Shouto turned the camera around, nodding slightly as he saw the thing -presumably- recording. He ended it, watching back the short clip of him just staring into the lens.

Perfect.

The video opens to a cork-board, mostly empty except for the middle, where a large piece of paper was stuck onto it, the words 'IceSeeYou' on it. The view of the table could be seen slightly at the bottom, full of markers, pens, paper strewn around of various kinds, red string and more.

"Hello", a voice calls, although no face appears. "My name is S- I mean- IceSeeYou, and this is my first ever video on HeroTube. Today I'm talking about a topic I think about a lot, 'Does Best Jeanist Have A Mouth?' Well the answer is no, and I'm going to tell you why." A hand comes into frame, pinning the words "NO MOUTH" at the top of the board.

It then comes back in, pining a picture of high school Best Jeanist, or Tsunagu Hakamada, covering the bottom part of his face with the collar part of the UA uniform. "This", the voice says again, "is the Mr. Jeanist during his time at UA High School. Despite the uniform being normally, well, uniform, Mr. Jeanist was willing to make a custom high collar version to keep the bottom of his face covered."

The hand comes back, quickly pinning another photo, "As you can see, he did the same with his UA sports uniform. His hero costume," another photo, "even the early versions, has something to cover the mouth. His most 'scandalous' hero costume, during his early days..." the hand comes again, pinning a photo before grabbing the red string and tying it to the first picture, string it along to connect it to the other pictures before finally to the title at the top. The final photo was of the third ever version of Best Jeanist's costume, featuring a denim crop top with a high collar that covers his mouth (revealing for the first and only time, the hero's nose) and skin tight jeans. "...even showed his nose, but never, and I mean never his mouth.

"A part from that", the voice continues, "Multiple heroes have admitted to never seeing Best Jeanist's mouth, including his own sidekicks. This time, the hand comes in holding a smartphone. The model is a newer version, the phone case a blank clear one. It's opened to the voice recording app, to which the hand presses an audio labelled 'Hunter', before pressing the play button.

"Please introduce yourself", the audio plays, Ice's voice, distorted, either by the phone or the fact that it's the camera recording the audio from a phone instead of the audio itself being edited into the video. "Uh." a different voice rings out, slightly deeper, "My name is Hunter. I am a sidekick for Best Jeanist."

Ice then continues, "How long have you been Best Jeanist's sidekick?" Hunter hums lowly, "About 2 years now. Hey- aren't you En-" Ice quickly cuts him off, "Have you ever seen Mr. Jeanist's mouth?" A few strangled sounds, "I- I suppose not? What's this f-" The recording stops.

Ice then changes to another voice recording, titled 'Miruko'. "Please introduce yours-" A feminine voice cackles, "What a cute-ass setup kid! I'm Miruko, what's this for, huh?" Her smirk could easily heard. "Have you ever worked with Best Jeanist?" Ice asks, ignoring the question. "Him? Yeah I've worked with him, he's a bitch tough, too much of a goody-two-shoes type of person." Ice hums, "And have you ever seen him mouth?" The rabbit hero snorted, before exploding into a full on cackle, "That's what this shit's about? Fuck yeah! Haven't seen it though! Good luck in your investigation, dude!"

The audio ends, to which the hand presses the final one, title 'Sir Nighteye'. "Hello, Sir. May I ask you a few questions?" Ice's voice comes out, a sigh heard after. "I saw this but I'm already tired. No, I haven't seen Best Jeanist's mouth." Ice's pout was somehow audible, "What about in your visions?" A cough echoes through, seemingly farther away from the recorder. "I have to go. But no, I have not seen his mouth even in my visions", Sir's voice then goes quieter, as if he was leaning in to whisper, "Leave the All Might figurine you brought to bribe me on the desk, they'll know where to put it." The voice recording ends.

Ice puts away his phone, pinning a picture of the three interviewees on the board. "As you have heard, no one who has worked with Best Jeanist has ever seen his mouth..."

"...even during his fight with Hurricane, the collar of his costume revealed no outline of a mouth. Only his nose." Ice pins a blurry close up of Best Jeanist's face, in which his high collar was pressed to his face because of the strong wind, yet no outline of a mouth was seen.

The board was now filled with photos, newspaper clips, red string and messy writing. "I'm 100% certain he doesn't have a mouth."

Proof that Best Jeanist Doesn't Have A Mouth
243 views | Posted XX June 2XX1 | 46↟  3↡

"Hello, Ice Chunks. It's me again, IceSeeYou. Today is a momentous occasion for us, I reached 1000 subscribers. Thank you." Ice pins a piece of paper with the words 'Thank You' as the title of the video at the top of the board.

"As a thank you, I would like to answer a frequently asked question. 'Why do I put the hashtag fuck Endeavour in every video of mine?"

The camera zooms into a blank part of the board, as the hand comes in to pin a picture.

"Because Fuck Endeavour."

The picture was of Endeavour's head on a trash can.

The video ends.

Chapter Text

Izuku paced back and forth as he gives nervous glances at the TV. The news is still on, still reporting on the USJ incident despite no new information released. Where is Shinsou? Is he ok? Is Aizawa ok? Thoughts swiveled through the boy's mind.

More time passed as Izuku nervously plays with his fingers. His hair was more frazzled and his hands clammy. Tsukauchi was strangely silent too, although Izuku understood to an extent.

The phone's ringing brought Izuku out of his thoughts. The boy jumped to his phone, hoping it was Shinsou or at least Tsukauchi-san, but was faced with an unknown number.

"H...hello?" Izuku squeaked quietly, unsure. "Hello, Midoriya!"

Izuku let out a sigh of relief, "Hello, Nezu sir." The boy shifted himself, sitting properly on the couch, hands still shaking. "I'm sure you know why I'm calling", the rat started, "I assure you that-"

"Is Shinsou ok? A-and Aizawa-san?"

A small cheep went through the call, "Yes, both of them are alright and in recovery. They are currently at Musutafu General Hospital. If you-"

Izuku wasted no time as he shot up, grabbing a thin jacket before rushing out the door. The call was cut, he would realize later, but at the time nothing else was more important than seeing his bestfriend safe.

The walk -run, more accurately- to the hospital went over Izuku's head as he heaved at the entrance. Man, I'm really out of shape. Izuku raised his head, eyes meeting the crowd of people.What's going on?

Izuku studied the people, and oh.

They were reporters.

Why are there reporters? Izuku took a deep breath, walking to the crowd and tried walking in. He felt his body being shoved here and there, the loud bustling of the crowd ringing in his ears. Frustration grew within, annoyance bubbling deep down.

"E-excuse me?" Izuku said, although no one paid him attention, "Please let me through-" he spluttered as he was shot out of the crowd into the team of workers trying to control the mob of people.

"Hey!" A voice cut through, "Aren't you Yume?"

Izuku cursed, slipping through the workers into the lobby of the hospital. Safe behind the glass doors, Izuku looked around. He walked up to the counter, flashing a smile to the person behind the desk. "Hello, may I know where Shinsou Hitoshi's room is?"

The person behind the counter returned the smile, nodding slightly before typing something into their computer. "Are you a family member?" Izuku blinked, "Uh. No?"

The person gave a sympathetic smile, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal that information."

Izuku pouted, "Please?"

The person shook their head, giving another sad smile at the boy, "Sorry kid. I can't do that unless the person calls to verify." Izuku lets out a defeated sigh, giving a small thank you before slumping down into one of the waiting chairs. The crowd of reporters outside was still loud, thankfully muffled by the heavy glass separating them.

Izuku leaned his head onto the uncomfortable hard chair. He could feel the beating of his heart in his head, pounding. A trembling breath was released as the boy closed his eyes. He could feel the tell-tale sign of hot tears rising behind his eyes, the halting of his breath before he took another deep breath, trying to push the feeling back. More shaky breaths were let out.

"Hey kid." Izuku shot up, making eye contact with-

"Tsukauchi-san", Izuku sighed out, relief washing over him, "Is- Do you- Can I--?"

"Shinsou-kun and Aizawa-kun are alright", the detective said, another relieved sigh escaping him, "I'll bring you to them, I know you're worried."

Izuku nodded enthusiastically, jumping up to follow behind his dad(?). "I'm sorry I couldn't contact you earlier", the man continued, "I had to handle all the other students' statements, and then I had to handle some of the investigation direction stuff."

Izuku opened his mouth to brush it off, but was easily cut off, "I should've made time to contact you," the man turns around, kneeling down and placing a warm hand onto Izuku's shoulder, thankfully his left one, "I'm sorry."

Izuku blinked a few times, a warm thunder churning in his stomach, "Y-you don't have to apologize!" he added quickly, "I totally understand how busy you would be and-"

Tsukauchi-san chuckled, "It's not fine kid. You're in my custody, and you're my kid. I shouldn't be worrying you."

Before Izuku could respond, the man stood back up again, walking off to where, presumably, Shinsou's and Aizawa's room were. The boy stood there, computing the words.

Not many people, especially not adults, have apologized to him like that.

Izuku followed behind the detective.

The door opened to a pale boy laying on the hospital bed, his purple hair slightly grimy. "I'll leave you alone", Izuku heard Tsukauchi-san say before he slipped off. The green haired boy walked into the room, watching as the unconscious body of Shinsou lay unmoving.

"Hey..." Izuku whispered, his voice unsteady in an instant, "...I uh- I'm glad you're safe." Izuku slowly sat down in the ratty plastic chair. "I thought you died."

The confession bristled through the air, Izuku himself was taken aback, "I don't think I could've handled that..."

A sigh escaped the boy as he leaned down to lay his head on the edge of the bed, "You're my best friend", a pause, before, "My only friend..."

The hot tears glazed his eyes again, small sniffles seemingly loud in the quiet and silent room, "Please wake up."

Chapter Text

Dread quickly filled the boy. Those red eyes turned to him. It burnt. It hurt. His chest heaved for air that was pulled out of his lungs. In a split-second, just as he turned to run, it all went black.

The screen turns black abruptly, a confused looking Yume staring slightly off from the camera. "I think I'm live...?" the boy says unsurely, squinting as comments in the chat flood in.

His face bursts into a smile, "Yay! We're successfully live! Hey guys!" he waves to the camera, earning multiple greetings in the chat.

"So I'm just waiting for my food to arrive-" Yume pauses at the questions, "Yes, I ordered out. It's a family owned store so I can't really tell you where y'know for location reasons hehe.." the boy chuckles nervously, before looking slightly off of the camera again.

"So," he says, alternating between the camera and the off screen thing, "as the title suggest, this'll be a quick QnA thing because I'm bored. I'll be looking at the chat here", Yume points to the thing he's been looking at, "so ask away!"

crawlie.emilie: you're so cute!!!

Nekorine: How old are you?

nothawks: fave hero?? (and why is it hawks?)

Yume blinks, "Aha.. my favourite hero is still the same underground hero. Sorry, Hawk- I mean- nothawks." The boy chuckles, more to himself, before looking back to the chat.

hoshiyama✨: Favourite show? Love you btw!!

genuiBoba: Yo I didnt kno Yume did lives uhfurrg

starline: thoughts on Uwabami?

Kokonut: Hes so smol

"Favourite show..? I don't really watch anything uh- maybe Boboiboy? It's a pre-quirk era show, and I binged it on HeroTube a while ago. I hope that's a sufficient answer", Yume laughs slightly.

Bobaaaa: Does your parents know you have a yt channel?

Selkie5682: OMG the posters behind him hufuerh i want

LOUDLOUDLOUD: I WANNA SQUISH HIS CHEEKS

IceSeeYou: do you like cold soba?

stinkylikeyou: IS THAT A LIMITED EDITION HUNTER FIGURINE-

AllMightyFan47: Room tour??

"Woah there are a lot of you here", the boy blinks dumbly, "Uh- yes I like soba. It's a bootleg version of Hunter, sorry. 'Room tour'? You guys want a room tour?" Yume's face lights up with childish joy -then again, he is a child- before he grabs the camera.

Kagekagekagekagay: PoV; You are being manhandled

AllM1ght's8008135: YES LETSGOOOOO

orangejuicyy: Kagekagekagekagay oh to be manhandled by yume 😩🥵🥴😩

Yume focuses the camera on the bookshelf that's often seen behind him in his videos, "SO. This is a bookshelf. Uh- obviously. It's mostly textbooks and stuff like that- oh! This is one of my favourite hero merch honestly, it's a Cementoss book end! Isn't it cute?" Yume giggles, showing off said merch, before going a shelf down, "Here is where I keep my analysis notebooks! ...Have I ever mentioned them? I'm not sure, but they're basically just where I write all my analysis. And here-"

Yume pulls open the drawer, revealing a mess of cables, "-is where I keep my old video stuff. Aha, it's not pretty, just old cheap mics and cables adn stuff like that." Yume closes the drawer before moving the camera to the left. "That's my bed. And my plushie! It inspired my profile picture and intro, done by my lovely Editor-kun!" Yume exclaims as he shows of a green bunny plush sitting on his bed. The window above it gives the room a soft glow.

LOUDLOUDLOUD: MERCH WHEN?

sanic but better: /my/ editor kun he says

CookiePieS: omg that's so cute

" 'Merch when?' Uh- I've never thought about making merch aha, sorry!!"

Hatsu_mae: Thoughts on #Luciddream???

Yume blinks confusedly, "#Luciddream? What's that?"

Yamayummy: Does- does this man-

Gluestick.: Wait are you serieoes/??

boombitch: Search it dumbass.

Hyouteki: search up 'luciddream ao3' on google

"Search it up? What's 'Ao3'? Alright..." Yume places the camera back to where it was originally, before staring to where the chat was to search it up. "Luciddream comes from Yume's name meaning dream and Coffecat, mainly known as Editor-kun on Yume's channel, ability to edit, thus Luciddream, a dream you can, quote, 'edit'. It is a ship name between the two who people think are cute together..." His face burns red, before he quickly faces the camera. "I- uh- the food is here bye-"

The daze was cut off with a thundering shock of pain to the back of his head. Hitoshi hissed lowly, What happened? Did I daydream again? Hitoshi couldn't remember what happened, what daze he even got out of, what day it was, where he was laying down and what is the noise it's so loud stop it stop it stop-

"...Shin?"

Who was that? Are they calling me? Fuck- who is that? Hitoshi couldn't remember, everything was blurry and messy and all over the place-

"Hey, listener. Calm down for me yeah? Deep breaths, in, and out," And who's that? Fuck, Hitoshi knows that he knows that voice. 'Listener', that's important, right?

The hand in his hair stopped ruffling it (since when was it there? How come Hitoshi didn't feel it? Why can't he feel-), making the boy let out a weak whine. The second voice chuckles softly, "Open your eyes, Toshi. It'll be fine, kid. You're safe."

Open... his eyes? His eyes are closed? Of course they are! It's black dumbass, open them!

Light entered his irises as he quickly squints them, letting out another quickly soft whine-mixed-hiss. "Hurts", he whimpered. Did he get another migraine? It wasn't usually this bad. Fuck.

"It's ok", the first voice spoke, "Slowly, it's fine." Hitoshi lets out a pained wheeze (or sigh?) before trying again. Slowly, he came face to face with the ceiling, before seeing a slight movement. Yellow attacked his senses, but it was bearable. Focusing his vision, the yellow slowly morphs into- a cone? A very familiar cone of yellow hair-

"Pops?" he voice, cringing at how damaged his voice sounds. "Hey, kiddo. Rest your voice, it's still damaged." Hitoshi nodded noncommitedly, not processing the words fully. "Where..?" he voiced again, earning a stern look from his Pops. "No talking, Hitoshi."

Hitoshi ignored it, blinking and looking around. His heart leaped when he saw green movement, before mind reeling because what-

Memories swarm Hitoshi, making him curl up. Right, USJ. Villains. Dad couldn't do it alone. Jumped in. Shigaraki-

(Dad's bleeding. Red. Red. Red. Chaos surrounds him. Useless. Hitoshi is useless here. Just like then. Tiny Toshi, the kid who was so desperate to prove that he could but now it's all fleeting-

Red. Those eyes. Fingers grazing the back of his head- Red. It's all red. He chokes, he can't think. Can't breath. Can't-)

No. Not now. Hospital. Pops. Midoriya. Midori-, "Mido?" he croaked, earning a defeated sigh from Pops, who ruffled his hair. "Hey, Shinsou! Glad to see you awake!" His eyes were red rimmed, puffy.

Red.

It spills.

"D-dad. Is dad ok?! I need to know if Dad's-"

The hand on his thigh grounds him, "Shou's ok, he's recovering too, but he's alive and safe. Everyone's safe. You are safe."

Hitoshi nodded weakly.

"So uh-" Mido breaks the silence, "I brought you a gift?"

Hitoshi chuckled, before breaking into coughs. Pops rubs his back while Hitoshi gave a shaky smile to Midoriya. 'Was that a question or are you telling me?'

Midoriya blinked, confused. Pops laughed, "He signed 'Was that a question or are you telling me?'." Midoriya nodded, the familiar look of fascination in his eyes. "Here!"

Hitoshi grabbed the bag he handed, peering in to see... cat muffins?

The boy looked up at the younger one, who broke into a grin. Hitoshi felt himself relax, a small laugh in his chest as he rolled his eyes. You know me so well.

Transcript of "Space Hero: Thirteen'"

by coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video opens abruptly to a shot of Yume's freckles]

Yume: *muttering* oh no the camera's settings are off...

Yume: Wait how was it before...

[The camera slowly pans out, finally revealing Yume's whole face. He's concentrated, but with a tongue sticking out he looks more dorky]

Yume: It's like I haven't done this in weeks haha.

[Yume takes in a breath]

Yume: Entry number-

[The camera falls down]

[Que intro]

Yume: Entry number uh- I don't know- of Hero Analysis! This episode, Space Hero: Thirteen!

[The words 'Space Hero: Thirteen' appear on the screen above Yume as small stars and planets dance around]

Yume: This video is sort of a merge between Hero Highlight and my normal Hero Analysis. As I'm sure a lot of you have heard, UA's USJ was attacked a few weeks ago. Thirteen was one of the heroes on scene, and was severely injured. I just... wanted to show appreciation I guess?

[Yume hesitates, looking off screen slightly]

Yume: People I knew were uhm, involved with the USJ incident and it's like a thank you... y'know? They're all safe now...

[The soft piano of the background music stops slightly, before Yume blinks and his smile returns brighter. 'How can he just turn the sun on?' appears for a split-second]

Yume: Anyway- Let's get to it! Space Hero: Thirteen is a rescue hero! This means they are mainly involved in rescuing civilians, mostly from disasters like land slides or destroyed buildings during villain fights. Their quirk is...

Yume: Now, they have mentioned that the suit, is in fact, a suit, which debunks the whole 'Their body is a black hole' theory. I do however think that their gloves are their hands. What do I mean by this? I think the suit is a suit, but the glove part specifically is a mutation in order to keep their quirk from destroying things 24/7.

[The screen switches to a fake background of a blackboard, with a picture of Thirteen. An arrow is 'drawn' to point at their hands in white]

Yume: Whenever their quirk is in use, we don't see any fingers or even skin

[Beside the picture of Thirteen appears short clips of said hero using their quirk]

Yume: I think the glove is their hand, and that their aesthetic is built around it. How does the 'caps' of their finger not disintegrate? I know what you're saying, it could just be the suit. Maybe it's quirk-proof. Well,

[The scene changes to Yume's face, leaning in as the camera zooms]

Yume: You're wrong.

[The scene changes back to the blackboard picture]

Yume: In the recent USJ attack, a villain with a warp/teleport/portal type quirk was reported to be on the scene. Thirteen's quirk was turned against them, the villain making the portal open in front of them and behind them. This made their quirk hit themself, and it ripped their suit, injuring them.

[The scene changed again to Yume's face as he hold up a figure of Thirteen]

Yume: They're ok now, thankfully.

[A sigh escapes the boy as he stares down at the figure]

Yume: Anyway- this is a theory, again, and in all honestly it could be some amazing technology. Oh! Like the first version of their suit...

Yume: ...If Thirteen just changed their angle slightly up by around 3 degrees then the pull of their quirk would have just enough strength to just pull the keys off, but not pull Quartz down and injure him. This way-

[Abruptly the the video cuts to a dark room with a dim lighting of neon purple in the background. A figure was looking down at the camera, their hair covered by a hoodie with cat ears and a medical mask on their face. All that was left to be seen were their eyes, the lighting making an illusion of glowing white pupils]

Editor-kun: It's 4am. I have been editing this for 5 hours. I have no idea what the *beep* he just said. I can't do this shit anymore. Send hel--

Yume: Despite all of the dangerous uses of a quirk like 'Black Hole', Thirteen does not, ever, use it for evil.

Yume: --which is why Thirteen should be appreciated more and why you're being a dumbass if you're abusing your quirk.

[The video switches to the outro as it ends]

I have a very strong quirk, and lots of people have urged me to become a hero because of it. The thing is I don't want to be a hero, but it makes me worry about my everyday life. My quirk is still unstable for me sometimes, what if one day I lose control of my quirk because I haven't had enough training with it? I didn't even know quirk training gyms were a thing lol I thought the only way to train your quirk legally was through hero schools. Thank you!

"Tsukauchi-san?"

A hummed reply echoes through the hall way. "What are we gonna do about my bed?" Izuku yelled out, looking around his almost empty room.

Footsteps and thuds rang as Tsukauchi walks through the door. The man looks around, checking how the packing was going, before turning to Izuku. "I already have a bed in my guest room, or well, your room now I guess. Do you want to keep this one?"

Izuku shook his head after a thought, "It's fine... what are we going to do about this one though?"

"I'll handle it. I have a friend who works for a moving company and I'm sure he has time to take it so we don't have to schedule one", Tsukauchi said, ruffling Izuku's hair. The boy leaned into the touch, before breaking into a bright smile.

"Alright! I can't wait to see your place, Tsukauchi-san!!"

Transcript of 'UA Sports Festival 2XX2! (Part 1)'

by coffecat | English translation by coffecat

[The video opens to Yume's face, smiling at the camera. The background is different than usual, the walls were a pale blue instead of the usual beige, posters could be seen peeking out from under the screen, half-rolled up. Only the side of the bookshelf could be seen now, and it was clearly a different one]

Yume: Hello! Welcome to the the yearly talk about UA's Sports Festival, and by yearly I mean this is my second year on youtube so... this is the second time I'm doing this. The series will be split into 3 parts, before -this one- during and after.

[Yume bends down slightly, vague sounds of shuffling. His concentrated face shifts into a bright grin and he presumably finds what he needs, before sitting back not straight]

Yume: Tada!!!

[Yume shows off a pamphlet, edges crumpled and colours faded, but it easily read 'UA Sports Festival XXXX' in big fonts]

Yume: This is a pamphlet I got when I went there when I was around ten? Nine? So, obviously I'm a fan as I still have it. Part 1 of this series will be talking about my thoughts on the festival. So, what are they?

[The camera slowly zooms. Dramatic music builds up. A pause.]

Yume: It's a stupid *beep*-ing idea

[Que intro]

Yume: Why is it a bad idea? Well, let me tell you.

[The screen changes to the picture of a black-board, before the words, in bright red, 'USJ ATTACK' appeared.]

Yume: So. USJ. UA literally got attacked at their letting the same kids, first years compete. This just seems stupid. I mean, I get the whole 'catch the attention of heroes and sponsors' blah blah blah, but revealing their quirks, live, to the whole world? What if the villains decide to attack again? And now they know the kids' quirks?

[The screen changed from clips of past sports festivals, of UA alumni during their school years (now mostly known heroes like Present Mic and Best Jeanist) showing off their quirk to the view of Yume's face]

Yume: Ok, I admit, it's pretty useless to say this now, especially since past years have had the same thing. It's just-

[A sigh escaped the boy as he slumped down onto his desk]

Yume: UGH! I'm sorry, I didn't make a script for this. It's just- first years were attacked, and I know for a fact that the only reason some of them came out fine was because the villains didn't know their quirks. I'm... paranoid? I guess? Something as big as this hasn't happened before so...

[The boy shook his head from side-to-side as if to expel his thoughts]

Yume: Anyway- I should probably go to my predictions for 2nd years and 3rd years like I did last time. Of course we have the very uh- famous? Infamous? Togata Mirio, who in his first and second year managed to...

      UA Sports Festival Stages, What We Know So Far

written by Kyakuchi Karu  ∘  XX April 2XX2

With UA's World Famous Sports Festival coming up soon, we have compiled all the possible activities and tasks that our favourite hero students could be up against! Here are the most well known and exciting ones that we think could appear this year.

1. Maze

[Picture of a past Sports Festival in which the students were trapped in a cement maze, filled with obstacles. Most of the students looked surprised, although there were a few determined looks spread out]

As it's well known, the Sports Festival consists of three stages. The first one is a mass elimination type, wherein students from a year (120 students on average, although the Management Course usually opts out) are place in a big area. It's usually broadcast as a randomly chosen activity, but in reality UA plans it out as the area needs planning and placement. For the Maze, students are required to get out, while escaping the faux villain. To pass, you must find one of the treasure hidden in the complex and escape, which also means that students can sabotage and steal the treasure from other students, as long as they haven't escaped.

The number of treasures available depends on the Stage 2 games, but on average is around 40-50

2. Paintball

[A picture of another past festival, wherein students are seen wearing headbands of different colours. The scenery is a forest, and one of the students, who had some sort of bird mutation, was in a tree and aiming a rifle]

Another popular stage 1 activity is paintball. Students get headbands according to their class, and are given a choice for different weapons. Refills are hidden within the area (past years have had barren deserts, complex forests, a lasertag-like area), and quirks are aloud but not to hurt.

Another curse escaped Katsuki. Stupid ass news sites. Fuck signing up! He dropped his head onto the table, before shutting down the laptop and grabbing his phone. The boy moved to his bed, letting an exhausted sigh as his body hit the soft comforter.

A buzz from his phone. Katsuki grunted softly before lifting it up, coming face-to-face with a Twitter notification. He lets out a small huff as more notifications came in, the same 2 twitter accounts bantering.

im gonna be busy for a while

Katsuki's face morphed into a small frown. Awfully suspicious, the night before the Sports Festival?

From his knowledge, coffecat never actually reveals much about himself. Obviously, his cats. Black and Yellow, whom the cats are also owned by are never mentioned by name. He had a deep and soft and calming voice for when Katsuki would wake up from his nightmares, sludge in his throat and tears in his eyes voice, and Katsuki swore he's heard it in real life.

A realization hit him.

coffecat could be...

...a villain from USJ.

Hitoshi cuddles further into the soft fur of Present Meow, "I'm gonna die alone in the bathroom! What if I embarrass myself? Embarrass Dad and Pops?! AHH-" the boy muffles his scream into the poor cat, who mewls in agreement (or maybe annoyance-?).

Present Meow mews again, "I mean I could, but if I opt out I'm scared someone would take my spot. I mean- I didn't do that great in the exams, even if I got to use the capture weapon. And now I have to go without it for the sports festival? Fuck that. Ugh."

The boy rolls over in his bed, staring at the -no longer- glow in the dark stars that he put up when he was small. Meow snuggles into the crook of his neck, making Hitoshi let out a small sigh. "Yes, yes. I'll try to get some sleep. Goodnight, baby", the boy grunts, placing a soft kiss to his cat, who just meows again.

Chapter Text

"Hey guys!" Yume appears in screen as messages flood the live chat. The boy is clearly walking, and the audio is slightly echoing. "As some of you might know, my editor coffecat is currently unavailable to edit my videos so, me, being the big brain boy that I am, decided to cheat the system and do a live stream instead!" The boy then leans into the camera slightly, "Although there will probably be a highlight video up when he's available again."

Light filters slowly onto Yume's face and cheers and yells grow louder. He flips the view of the camera, showing off a giant stadium, seats filled with excited people and the air bustling with noice. "I hope you can hear me well enough", Yume starts as he shuffles around, camera aimed toward the floor of the stands, "As you can probably tell from the title of this stream and my last video, we're at UA! I graciously got a VIP ticket from one of my... acquaintance, so hopefully it wouldn't be as noisy here!

A hum, "Just so you know, sometimes I'll switch to a blank screen with this," the boy says as he turns the camera to face him again, holding up a button, "That'll just mean I'm taking a break, or I need some privacy for a bit, or something like that. So don't worry! The stream will go until the end of the festival."

A small psst made Yume's attention falter, the boy tilting his head to the back slightly. A grin broke onto his face, before he looked into the camera and pressed the button, a faint smirk on his face.

"...so I'm just sitting there, barbecue sauce on- I mean-" Yume takes another bite out of his fries that he bought from some of the Business Course kids, "-not doing anything to bother it, right? And this fu- freaking cat yowls at me, baring its teeth and I was like 'Oh you're on-!' and then it jumps at me and yeah, now I have this very faint scar", Yume points the camera to a barely visible scar on his forearm. "Anyway- as I was saying, although Kouda-san's quirk seems 'weak' " The boy made quotes with his free hand, "There are animals in every nook and cranny, and as long as he gets over his fear of bugs, which arguable are most likely to be everywhere, and even a small thing like a bite from an ant could give an opening for an attack."

Yume shows the camera toward the giant screen of the stadium again, showing off the various students racing toward the entrance, "Besides, a quirk can be as versatile as you make it. Like Tokoyami-san for example, his quirk Dark Shadow is honestly very interesting. A sentient quirk -or semi-sentient?- is rare to see. Especially if it's not some kinda off.... oh. Oh? Maybe... hmm", Yume's voice dissolves into mutters.

Weebin': I'm not gonna pretend I understand a thing he's saying

ChickenHumget: Ok but,, Todoroki >>>>

Yumtop: it's cool that he comes up with theories on the spot tho?? like damn

Termi: Is this what a verbal keysmash sounds like-

ratuni: @Yumtop IKR? he really is big brain lol

"AH! I keep getting side-tracked. Oh! They've arrived at the final obstacle. Kac- I mean, Bakugou, is at first place, with Todoroki very close by. It makes sense, both of them have really powerful quirks that can be diversified. It's not easy to control those blasts perfectly, especially to fly like that. And Todoroki's level of control over his ice is obvious. Hmm..."

The camera pans to the center of the arena, the crowd was getting louder and louder as the student neared the finish line. Cheers roared as Bakugou, very nearly followed by Todoroki passed through.

"Sheesh", Yume grumbled, barely audible.

"I- OMG. D-did you see that? The blond from Class B managed to- oh god! That's so cool I- does it need skin contact? Any form of contact? Or some kind of DNA? Does hair work- omg blood but then what about a nail or dead skin or OH MY GOD THE ENDLESS POSSIBILIT-"

"You."

Yume's eyes go wide as he looks off screen. The chat goes crazy, the easily recognizable voice making them go crazy. The camera is lowered, as if trying to be hidden, before it slightly lifts to show blue boots.

"H-hello?" Yume says, and the voice replies with an easy, "You're that HeroTuber kid got sued. If you value your life you should shut your mouth."

No reply is given, before heavy footsteps fade away.

thinker: HELLO??? WAS THAT ENDEAVOUR-

Yrena: I- esfuhiuhf did that rally happen wHAT

parentalfigure: Ok that /has/ to be planned-

Yume lifts the camera to eye level, "We don't mention that ever."

"So I have acquaintances here, right? I've told you guys that right- Anyway, I'm going to try and find 'em around here, but in the meantime I'll give you a tour-ish of UA's stadium. ...Also known as me just walking around this place", Yume grins at the camera as he enters the slightly dim halls. "I'm also pretty hungry, so I want to find food. The takoyaki outside smelled really good on the way in..." Yume's voice fades as he -presumably- thinks about what to get. The halls, which are the only thing the camera can see, are empty, but the loud bustle of the surroundings remove a creepy feeling it would probably have in a normal setting.

Sun starts to seep into the halls, "We must be close! I'm am definitely buying some ramen, that smell is to hard to-"

Yume stops talking as purple enters the frame, walking from the opening. Yume stumbles back a little as the other boy(?) opens his mouth, eyes wide. "Hi random person!", Yume seems to chalk up quickly, "You're on a live right now."

The other boy blinks, before nodding with his eyebrows furrowed. He waves awkwardly, mouth shut.

Yume chuckles lightly, making the other boy flush a slight red, "You made it into the final round, yes?" The boy nods. "We’ll be rooting for you!", Yume cheers, before waving to the boy and walking away.

Mxna: 👀👀

"Look, it's that Shinsou, the guy we saw earlier", Yume's camera zooms into the arena, onto a purple haired student, before changing the other person. "That's Kendo Itsuka. Her quirk is something to do with her hands. I'm not sure what Shinsou's quirk is though."

A-cult: go purple dude

hinihihin: EYO KENDO!!

Wishye: it's starting lesgoooo

Younre: I can't wait!!

IoUhugs: HOLY SHIT SHE JUST WENT FOR IT-

TimeToDie: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss 😌💅💅

Younre: Wait- why'd she stop???

AllMight5392: Is- is this THE COMEBACK?!

Tsukinn: NO STOP PUSHING HER-

geanf: wait she stopped-

Tiptwoes: YES GO BURPLE

hinihihin: YO HE WONNN

reanp: ok but what is his quirk??

"...ok that was a bit extra. No offence to Sero but uh- I'm pretty sure Todoroki could've won without that giant iceberg. I mean, the terrain isn't really fair to everyone. Sero could probably do better somewhere with trees or just poles in general. Not to throw shade but UA isn't really the place for equality."

Traink: 'not to throw shade' he says

Wishye: I still can't process that power-

NotHawks: That poor tape kid LOL

opticc: Man save some power for the rest of us ;-;

timp: Is- is the Sero guy ok-?? That must've been an extreme temperature change

"Ok so, that first match with Bakugou that was against Uraraka was intense, and honestly I didn't expect that for a first round battle, and the one with Kirishima was an obvious battle of who could persevere the longest. Now though, I think Bakugou would win for sure. Not to say that Tokoyami's weak or that his quirk isn't powerful, nor can't he fight for a long time, it's just..." Yume trails off, the camera focusing on Bakugou as he stands at the edge of the arena, waiting for Midnight to announce the battle.

'And, begin!' echoes through the megaphones, "Bakugou's smart. He's calculative, despite his brash appearance. He notices details. He'll find a way, it's an unfortunate pairing."

The camera catches Bakugou grinning maniacally, blowing non stop explosions to Tokoyami (and Dark Shadow). The quirk seems to be shrinking, covering itself(?) from the blasts.

"In the end", Yume voices again as Bakugou makes a final blow, making Tokoyami exit the arena, "he'll win."

"Shinsou's going against Todoroki. His quirk, br- which we still don't know, it very interesting as it's obviously not physical. It's an obvious contrast to the eye-catching quirk of Todoroki. It might seem like Todoroki is better, which he could be, but in the sense of marketing, a mystery is something anyone can appreciate. It would be dumb for anyone to dismiss offers to Shinsou just from the fact that his quirk isn't show-y. But y'know, it be like that."

Midnight announces the start of the battle as Todoroki immediately shoots off a huge burst of ice. "Todoroki's slower", Yume says, "He needs to use his fire. He needs to get warm again".

Shinsou's foot is trapped, but he's smirking. His mouth moves, but Todoroki gives him a glare as he stays where he is. "That's smart, keeping distance in case Shinsou would activate his quirk. The other two people made contact with him, Kendo with her arm and Shiozaki with his hair."

Shinsou continues to talk as he shift his frozen leg, testing out to see if he can move it around. His smirk seems forced, but it stays either way. Whatever Shinsou is saying, it must've caught Todoroki off guard as his eyes widen, his mouth opening to reply.

He stops moving.

Shinsou's grin widens, as he opens his mouth again. Slowly, Todoroki walks over to him, before leaning down slightly and melting the ice. The crowd roars.

”DAMN!” Yume yells, startling the people around him.

Shinsou, now free, goes to grab Todoroki. He attempts to fling him out of the arena. Todoroki catches himself with ice.

Shinsou's eyes widen with panic. Todoroki sends another blast out, immediately pushing the purple haired boy out.

Yume zooms onto the winner, who was staring at his left hand. An ice shard nearby has blood. Todoroki's shin bleeds slightly.

Yume lets out a heavy breath, telling the viewers that he was also holding it. Bakugou continues to yell at Todoroki, for what the camera doesn't catch. "That was..." Yume starts, but he doesn't finish. He sounds breathless, as are most of the viewers. The crowd is cheering, but they start to talk amongst themselves as Bakugou doesn't stop the yelling, keeps shaking Todoroki's unconscious body.

"He's mad", Yume says, and the chat fills up with duh and no shit-. "He thinks Todoroki underestimated him." Yume's voice sounds flat, a distant feel to it, "In his head, Todoroki didn't use his fire because he thought Bakugou was weak and that he wasn't worth the effort of using both. He feels weak".

Yume takes in an audible breath.

"Why does he feel weak?" he mumbles to himself.

The chat fills with excitement as the reward ceremony approaches. Yume is chattering about some past sport festival winners. The ground opens up slowly, slowly lifting up the podium.

Tokoyami seems panicky. Todoroki's hands are shaky. Shinsou's gone. Bakugou was chained up.

Yume drops the camera.

The stream ends abruptly.

Excuse me? It's a school sanctioned event, he's allowed to use his quirk. He /did/ play fair, he used his quirk /just like everyone else/. AND, that kind of quirk would be so useful for a hero, imagine a villain attack happening but Shinsou immediately paralyzes him. It would IMMEDIATELY end, no violence, no victims, no damages. I doubt you even /know/ what makes a hero with your attitude.

Hitoshi gave a small nod to Todoroki and Tokoyami, who were sitting in the waiting room, pedestal a few meters beside them. There were only plastic chairs, so Hitoshi sighed and took a seat. Bakugou was nowhere to be seen, he probably hasn't woken up from Midnight's quirk.

Hitoshi furrowed his eyebrows, I wonder why he was so angry. Hitoshi gave a quick glance toward Todoroki, who was staring at his left hand very seriously.

Shit- was Hitoshi the reason Bakugou went overboard on Todoroki after he suddenly used his fire? Sure, he said some terrible things about Endeavour, but when that didn't get a response he started questioning Todoroki about his left side. Ok in his defense though, he thought Todoroki was a stuck up bastard born with a (two?) lucky and 'heRoiC' quirk. He didn't think much when he kept referring to Todoroki's left side as, well, Todoroki's.

It did get a response though, something along the lines of "It's my father's-" before Hitoshi took control.

The daddy issues are strong in this one.

Sudden screams and yells echo from outside the room, startling Hitoshi out of his memories. By the amount of curse words Hitoshi would confidentially guess it was Bakugou, adding to the fact that the voice (and a few other voices that were more quiet) were nearing-

An explosion. Bakugou's screams stopped. Something in Hitoshi's stomach curled, his nerves were suddenly on fire. He gave a quick glance toward the other two boys, who, despite their indifferent faces, Hitoshi could tell they were confused, if not worried, for whatever was happening outside.

Hitoshi held his breath as footsteps neared. The door flung open.

Hitoshi's mind blanks.

Because standing there is Midnight, someone he trusted, and All Might, the number one hero, standing beside a chained and muzzled (muzzled, muzzled, muzzle, muzzle--) Bakugou (who was yelling, fighting against the muzzle but he shouldn't do that because they'll see and tighten it more and that would dig into his skin and Toshi hates the pain and-) as if everything was normal.

Hitoshi stands up quickly, knocking the chair to the ground. His mouth opens, but nothing seems to come out. His throat felt dry, clogged in a way that he hasn't felt since he was 5. His vision blurred, sounds muffling.

Someone was coming closer. Shit. Shitshitshit. No no no they'll muzzle him too no no no no no-

Hitoshi ran.

Dammit.

Fast steps echoed through the empty halls, heavy breaths escaping Izuku.

Where is Shinsou?!

Panic was starting to settle into Izuku's mind, Why wasn't he there? Who chained Kacchan up-? Why did no one stop them--

"Shinsou?!" Izuku yelled in a feign attempt. He doubts the other teen is there.

"Dammit." No reply.

Izuku started to run again, entering random corridors which would hopefully end up at the underground waiting room.

"Shinsou!! Shinsou?!" Izuku yelled periodically as the walls blurs in his vision. Where could he-

A whimper.

Izuku turned towards the noise, but didn't see anything.

"..Shinsou?"

Another whimper, from the direction he's looking at. But there's nothing? Unless...

Izuku walked closer to one of the walls, eyeing it carefully. A small, minuscule line in a rectangle shape, almost invisible. Izuku furrowed his eyebrows, putting his palms against the cool surface, dragging it along and- hah!

A small hatch, which Izuku pulled.

He didn't know what to expect, but a janitor closet was not it.

Damn, UA really goes extra even for these things.

A sniffle catches Izuku's attention. "Shinsou..?" he whispered, earning a sharp inhale back from behind a few boxes.

"Is it... can I come closer?

Izuku waited, but all that came out was a small garbled noise.

"Shin? Can you not answer? Knock once for no and twice for yes.

Knock. Knock.

Alright, ok. "That's fine, can I come closer?"

A knock. Pause. Another knock.

"Alright, I'm coming closer. Can you hear my footsteps?" Izuku asks, taking a step, making sure it echoed just enough to hopefully be audible.

Knock, knock.

Izuku walks toward the boxes, making a small turn to see- Shinsou. Huddled in the corner, eyes wide, yet unfocused. It's filled with confusion, and a distrustfulness that Izuku could only guess was because he couldn't recognize him. His hands were shaking violently, and tears decorated his cheeks.

Another sharp breath echoed through the small closet as Hitoshi finally focused on Izuku, shifting backward as if he could be any more close to the wall.

"Can I touch you?"

Shinsou flinches, shaking his head furiously and closing in on himself. "Hey- that's fine. It's alright. Can you copy my breathing for me? Breathe in..."

Shinsou follows hesitantly, but his breathing becomes level. Izuku lets out a silent sigh of relief, seeing the glaze in Shinsou's eyes disappear.

There was a short moment of silence as Izuku let Shinsou take in his surroundings and sort his thoughts.

Shinsou perks up suddenly, panic in his eyes again, "Bakugou! W-we have to help him! He's- he's locked up and I- I should've done something! I could've took control of- of Kayama or- or All Might! I could've helped him! What kind of hero doesn't help someone in need?!"

Shinsou stood up, wobbly on his knees, "Let's go", was Izuku's only warning before Shinsou pulls his arm out the closet.

As if second nature, Shinsou weaves through the corridors, no hesitation in his steps. Izuku could only follow behind him, slight shock at the action but keeping up nonetheless. Eventually the roars of the crowd filters back into Izuku's ears, just as the wide opening to the stage reveals itself to Izuku.

Shinsou suddenly stops.

Izuku looks over worried, as Shinsou's eyes glaze over again. Izuku follows what was supposed to be his eyesight. His breath hitched.

He hadn't had time to properly compute what UA had done to Kacchan, but seeing him up there on on display like some animal, gagged with a muzzle and arms chained together as the crowd cheers like it's some kind of fucking entertainment stunt.

Izuku doesn't know what he was thinking. Fuck that, he wasn't thinking.

He stepped out into the light.

"LET HIM GO!"

The words came out of Izuku's mouth without him thinking, he didn't think he could even scream that loud. His throat burned.

The crowd's roars dies down as the heroes present, Midnight and All Might turns toward him.

"Why in the ever loving frick did you think chaining a child would be a good idea?!" Izuku yells again, his eyes focusing on the stunned faces of the heroes. In the corner of his eyes he sees Kacchan freeze, while Todoroki looks at him with an intrigued look.

"N-now young man, Bakugou was being violent and refusing his medal and-" Izuku practically growled, "And you think chaining him up was the answer?! Just let him go!" Izuku walks over to Kacchan, making eye contact. The other boy kept quiet. "I know you'd prefer if it wasn't me helping you..." Izuku starts as he takes the muzzle off, "..but I need you to not fight me on this."

"Wait- what are you doing!" Midnight's eyes widen as Izuku starts fiddling with the thick steel 'handcuffs'. "Dammit" Izuku cursed, to himself when he couldn't find any way to take them off.

"Let me help you." Izuku's eyes widen as he turns, seeing Todoroki. The boy leaned down, finding the seems where the metal seemed thin. He froze that part, and Izuku blinks at him, waiting for him to continue.

He shoves his elbow into the -thankfully smooth- ice, shattering it and the metal. The cuffs fall onto the ground.

Kacchan stays silent, eyes still wide as Izuku pulls him away from the now murmuring crowd. Kacchan allows himself to be dragged, so Izuku focuses on Shinsou.

...who was sitting on the ground in a ball.

Shit.

Pulling Kacchan to walk faster, Izuku approaches Shinsou, "Are you ok, Shinsou?"

Thankfully though, Shinsou nods into his arms, before letting out a small sigh. His body slumps slightly, before he struggled to stand up.

Izuku gives a small glance to Kacchan, who was giving both of them a weird look. Izuku pulls Shinsou up, before dragging both of them.

He has to find someone. But who? Who can he trust not to fault Kacchan? To not be mad at him.

In the end Izuku doesn't know.

And that scares him.

Chapter Text

"Toshi!?" Izuku heard someone call out, feeling Shinsou’s hand tense in his. He gripped it tighter.

Bright yellow hair entered his vision.

"Toshi?! Are you- Come here," Yamada visibly deflated in relief as he saw his son, spreading his arms for a hug.

Izuku was ready to let go of Shinsou, but he only shifted behind Izuku, the grip increasing. His hand was cold.

Yamada’s expression turned confused, hurt flashing across his face.

"That’s fine, baby. Can you tell me why you don’t want to hug me?"

Izuku gave a small glance to Shinsou, who looked conflicted. "Didn’t stop them…" he said simply, his smooth voice now hoarse. Kacchan was looking between them confused, but for some reason kept quiet.

"I-" Yamada hesitated, and Izuku felt some part of his heart shrivel slightly, Does- does he not care?

"I was scared, all I saw was you and I-" Yamada made some kind of wheezing noise, "I’m so sorry, Toshi, Bakugou…"

Kacchan sucked in a small breath at being addressed for the first time.

"B-but you… You gave commentary… You went along with it." Hitoshi’s eyebrows were furrowed now, a hesitant anger in his face.

"I did." Yamada looked defeated, "My brain went into presenter mode, I wanted to find you but I couldn’t move and- I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry…"

Yamada gave a very weak, obviously sad smile. "I’ll- I’ll give you space…" he said, turning around.

Izuku felt Shinsou’s hand slip through his before he saw Yamada being tackled into a hug by the boy. The hero hugs him back just as tight.

"C'mon, let’s go home, Shouta’s painkillers did some damage to him, he fell mid finals", Yamada leans down as if to whisper, but his voice is heard clearly to Izuku.

Izuku watched the two walk away, using a secret exit he didn't know was there, hidden like the entrance to the janitor's closet.

He turned to Kacchan, seeing the boy's eyes fill with some sort of answer. "Kacchan..." Izuku starts, and the boy looks toward him. "Let's go."

He saw Bakugou gulp, but nod.

Izuku pulls him through the same exit, but he doesn’t see them anymore. He takes a few random turns before he sees an exit, thankfully, which leads to the back parking lot.

He’s thankful Tsukauchi-san seemed to have some kind of mind reading powers because his car trolls in.

"Is Aunt Mitsuki picking you up?" Izuku said, remembering parental people were a thing. Bakugou nods, but takes out a -cracked- phone. He types something in as the car stops in front of them.

"Hey kid, saw the news. Let’s go." He paused, "Is the Bakugou kid going with us?"

Izuku nods, ignoring whatever complaints Kacchan would've made (if he made any, he's been very off with the silence), instead pulling the other boy into the car with him. The radio drowns out the muffled crowd, only noticeable in the closed car.

They drove off.

The video is awfully bright for what the viewers would expect. Instead of a gloomy and serious one take of Yume's explanation of the sports festival, like what he did for the Sludge Villain incident, the video was properly edited, with the normal intro.

The screen then opens to Yume. He's smiling, it's more bashful than normal.

"Hey guys", he starts, "I didn't expect to make another video like this. Aha..." he trails off awkwardly, glancing around his room. He looks at something slightly behind the camera, to which he then makes a dramatic frown.

"Editor-kun is with me behind the camera, physically this time", Yume explains, "And he's judging me-"

"You can't kidnap people on live tv, Yume" the name was spoken with a teasing tilt to it, the voice, the recognizable (to some) voice of coffecat coming through the mic, although softly, as he was at a distance. Captions appear at the bottom of the screen, making sure the viewers knew what Editor-kun was saying.

Yume rolls his eyes, "Like you wouldn't've done the same," he comments, before another voice breaks through, "No normal person would've done that *beep*-ty 'Yume'". This time the youtube name was spoken with mocking tone, although a smidge of disbelief can be heard.

Immediately, the youtuber panics, "You're not supposed to speak!"

"I do whatever the *beep* I want", was the simple reply, Editor-kun's small snort came after, earning a faint, "You think this is *beep*ing funny, Eyebags?!" that barely came through the mic.

A small white text appears in the corner of the screen, "It was funny then but now I have to censor all of his cursing :\"

"Anyway, ahaha..." Yume continues, fiddling his fingers slightly, "I basically stole the winner. Who cares y'know." Yume smiles cheekily.

"Why tho?" appears at the bottom of the screen as Editor-kun's muffled voice comes through. Yume turns to him, "Why not?"

"Why tho-?"

"Why not?" Yume lifts an eyebrow.

A sigh, "But why tho?"

Yume looks off in silence before he and Editor-kun breaks out into a laughter (although Editor-kun's is more a small chuckle)

"What the *beep*", was whispered softly by the mystery third voice.

Yume turns back to the camera, "Anyway, yeah UA was kinda *beep* for doing that to K- Bakugou so. I. Kindapped?? Him???" Yume sounded equally confused as he said this, "I wasn't sure what I was doing at the time. It was like my feet moved on it's own y'know?"

"*Beep*ing weirdo", the third voice muttered, a small text appearing at the top, 'Please, please stop cursing this is way too much work for being unpaid'.

"Ignoring that... Uh- that's all for this video", Yume explains, trailing off to look to the side for a bit before looking back into the camera, "I just wanted to say that I'm thankfully not going to be arrested or anything, maybe harassed a bit but it is what it is."

"I'm genuinely concerned for you *beep*", the third voice said, disbelief in his voice. Another small text appears, 'Beeped is a nickname that has to be censored due to bring recognizable to past people in Yume's life who should f off'.

Yume tears up (like, actual tears), "That's the nicest thing you've said to me", he says watery.

The video ends.

So uh. UA Sports Festival

Villains You Should Be Scared Of

TevJapan | Written by Wakunari Youki

As heroes rise, so do villains. We here at TevJapan have compiled a few villains you should be on the look out for... just make sure you run! 😱😱

10. Dabi

Mysterious fires, buildings set ablaze? Those are all alleged works of Dabi, a mass arsonist and (possible) murderer. He's been said to have cerulean blue eyes which seem to glimmer in the dark, although it could be because of his flames, a bright and blinding blue, indicating how hot they are.

9. Stain

As recent as the UA Sports Festival, wherein Stain unfortunately killed beloved Pro Hero Ottemary, this serial killer is known to move around Japan, injuring two heroes to 'pass the message on' and murdering one more before moving on to his next hunting ground. Around 14 heroes have met him, and unfortunately 4 of them didn't survive. His latest victim was in Hosu, watch out!

Guysguysgays!! Editor-kun knows JSL acjdshjxi hello??
[Video is a clip from an old coffecat video,titled talking tostrangers but it's my cat talking.

coffecat is on Omeagle, but his camera only shows his chest area,but is covered by the royal blue cat on his lap. He connects witha new person,and a hand goes into frame as it waves to the other person, someone with a mouse-like mutation.

"Meow" Prince, the cat, sounds.T he person looks sliantly resigned mixed with a sheepish expression as she holds up a piece of paper. ‘I'm deaf' is written on it.

coffecat doesn't hesitate or disconnect, his hands move though.

'Thats cool is written in captions as he -presumably- signs. The person's eyes lights up. 'Is J-S-L ok?’ coffecat asks again.

'That's perfect comes the signed reply, 'I'm P-O-M, Bloom’ she signs,and in smaller text ‘Bloom is her sign name’. Prince stands up and waddles away at the lack of attention, making coffecat chuckle sligntly. ‘I'm H-l. He’ he signed. The clip ends.]

livin' life (0/10) @broxulottie_wix • 1h
AH! That’s so cute! The instant smile Pom got! I wonder why he knows JSL

It starts with a stray cat.

Cat's are nice. Hitoshi learns early on that The Headmistress doesn't agree though.

"Where were you? You’re late, you know what happens when you break the rules", she grunts, and Hitoshi open his mouth to reply when a hand slaps it closed.

"Don't you dare!" She shrieks, "You know the rules. What did we teach you?

Hitoshi lowers his gaze, he didn't mean he break the rules. ‘Sorry' the four year old signs, ‘Was playing with the cats!’

She scoffs, "Cats? Seriously? Good kids don’t get distracted by cats. No dinner tonignt, back to your room."

It makes Hitoshi tear up, Friday’s dinners were always the best, but he could never have it, always doing something bad. The boy slowly nods, walking to his room at the end of Hallway C. It’s smaller than the rest of the other rooms.

Distantly Hitoshi wonders how other four year olds don’t get distracted by cute cats.

(They do, but four year olds don’t walk home alone.)

The cat was thrown away in a trash can.

Hitoshi’s hand reaches out to map the dirt coated fur of the plushie. It’s surprisingly soft, so Hitoshi pulls it out. It has a nice weight to it, but Hitoshi can spot some small tears, thankfully not too big.

Hitoshi smiles, he learnt how to see from the nice lady at the park, so he can fix up the kitty!

The little boy hugs the plush to his chest as he walks away happily. He’s never had pretty toys like kitty before, all the other kids get them first.

His mood plummets as She waits for him at the door.

"You’re late again, boy", she scolds, her face grim. "What’s that?"

Hitoshi brightens at the mention of his new friend. ‘It’s a cat!’

Her face morphed into something more angry. "You stole this from some poor kid didn’t you?"

Hitoshi’s eyes widens, and he shakes his head vigorously, ‘Found in trash’ he signs in a panic.

Somehow She gets angrier. "You went digging in the trash?!" She sniffs the air, "You smell disgusting. No dinner, go shower. Now."

Hitoshi scrambles away, knowing not to test Her when She’s mad but-

"Boy." Hitoshi pauses in his step, "Give me the cat."

Hitoshi’s heart skips a beat.

’But I found—‘ his signing was cut off, "Now, boy. You don’t deserve it."

With heavy steps, Hitoshi leaves the blue plushie in the hands of The Headmistress, who grimaces at the dirty cat before shooing Hitoshi off.

He didn’t even get to name the kitty.

It’s a week before he sees the kitten again.

In the clutches of another kid.

Its fur was cleaned, but the tears were still left unattended to, stuffing poking out of the holes.

Another boy, Akira, is playing with it, roughly throwing it around. Hitoshi wants to tell him to stop, but he quickly stops himself. ‘Please be more—‘

"Sorry, Hands. But I can't talk your dumb TikTok dance moves", he laughs, as if his joke was that funny.

Hitoshi's brows furrow, 'It's not-' "I don't understand you freak. Leave me alone," Akira sneers walking away.

Hitoshi frowns, tears welling in his eyes as he walks away.

"AHH!" Screams woke up Hitoshi with a startle, his face being met with the clothes he hung on the rod. Murmurs start up, and he can hear footsteps bursts out of the Room. Hitoshi wants to look, to know what's happening, but his door is locked at nights.

"What happened?" The Headmistress voices. "I-" came Akira's voice, "I was going to the toilet-" He went to the toilet? At night? Doesn't he know that's against the rules? How did he even get out, the doors are locked? "-when I found this dumb cat at the mirror! It was in the box! I put it in the box!" Akira exclaimed.

"Alright. Who decided to do this? Playing jokes on other kids isn't funny," She said. No reply came.

A sigh.

"Alright everyone, back to your beds. We'll deal with this tomorrow."

The murmurs start to fade as Hitoshi is left with the silence again.

It keeps happening.

The blue kitty plush would change its place when no ones looking.

It got to the point She was so hung up on it that She blames Toshi.

(Ignoring the fact that he's not allowed to go near the toy box, much less go out at night. He learns that only he gets locked in his room)

Eventually the other kids get scared of the plush, refusing to even go near it.

So Hitoshi gets it. Only for him.

He spends the whole day patching up the plush up, running his hands through the soft fur.

The other kids stare at him like he’s gone crazy.

He learnt at Education that the blue was actually royal blue.

Prince.

Hitoshi nods to himself. Yes, Prince is its name-

He cuddies with it in his room (it'snotaroomit’snotaroomit'snot-), making sure the plush feels more comfortable than him.

Maybe it was his sleep rattled brain, but he swears he couId feel tiny vibrations on his chest, vocalised by soft purrs.

Cat.

Prince is a cat.

Living, breathing and pawing at Hitoshi's hair.

"P-prince?" Hitoshi says, and his voice is gruff from unuse, making him cringe.

The cat just mewls, licking a stripe of his hair.

Hitoshi giggles softly, petting its fur. Prince leans into the touch, and Hitoshi notices a small scar where there had been a hole before he stitched it.

Was… was Prince hurt?

Hitoshi picked up the cat, checking for any injuries. None. Only the small scars, fully healed.

Did Hitoshi heal him? By stitching him up?

Prince’s purrs travel through Hitoshi’s (closet. It’s a closet. You hang your clothes above you. It’s a hallway closet—) room when the door rattled, startling Prince.

Who turned back into a plush.

"So cool…" Hitoshi whispered to himself.

The door is thrashed open, "Get up, boy", She says, before walking off.

Hitoshi nods, eventhough he knows She couldn't see him, before planting a soft kiss to Prince's forehead.

"I'll see you tonight", he whispers.

Another day goes by.

'Stop!' Hitoshi signs frantically, watching in distraught as Akira throws Prince (in his plush form, thankfully) towards Tema, who laughs mischievously as he throws it back to Akira, with Hitoshi watching helplessly in the middle.

Hitoshi's mouth is open helplessly, whines and panicked sounds coming out in cracks, as if Hitoshi was trying to hold back but physically couldn't.

The two boys are laughing at Hitoshi, basking in his hopeless expression.

'Please stop' Hitoshi's hands shakes as he signs, panic filling his chest.What if they drop him?

"Speak up, freak," Tema mocks, the gills on his neck flaring slightly, "Yeah, we can't hear you!" Akira laughs along.

Hitoshi's chest hurt, his palms clammy and breathing was getting difficult. Their laughs were too loud, too much, covering Hitoshi with a suffocating cloud. The rest of the room seemed to fade away as all Hitoshi could hear were the mocks and giggles and-

"STOP!!"

"So you can talk—" Hitoshi felt the cool rush of his quirk activating, the proverbial string snapping into place.

He feels it, but doesn’t care.

"Give it back!" he says, and Akira blindly walks to him, handing the cat plush back.

With a sigh, Hitoshi cuddles into Prince, his soft fur relaxing him.

And then Tema screams bloody murder.

(That night he gets a three-month-early birthday present. He can no longer whisper his days to Prince.)

(It even silences his cries.)

It stops because of his stray cat.

Hitoshi gives a wary look toward the hall. No one is there, everyone should be at Education except Hitoshi, because bad boys don’t deserve to go out, and Hitoshi was always bad.

The window opens smoothly, and Prince jumped out, happy to be back outside, meowing at Hitoshi’s to hurry up.

Hitoshi -tries to- smile, lifting himself off the ground and out the window. His feet crunch on the grass, soft air tickles his face so he takes a deep breath. It’s so nice.

Prince meows again, a warning to Hitoshi, before waddling off.

Hitoshi follows him, if only to make sure he doesn’t get lost (as if Hitoshi is the one that gets to go out while Prince gets locked in and not the other way around.)

Prince ignores him, walking what seems to be a familiar path for the cat as it turns corners without hesitant.

The end up at a dark alley.

Education won’t end for another 2 hours (after dinner) so he he’s not worried when he sees the sky orange.

Prince continues to walk into the creepy alley, so, Hitoshi follows him.

More cats.

Lots of cats. They’re all sitting idly, as if waiting for something. Prince joins them, meowing.

A shuffle makes all the cats perk up with attention.

Suddenly someone drops -drops!- from the roof of a building. Hitoshi scrambles to hide behind a dumpster.

The cats start meowing and mewling loudly. "Alright bastards", came a voice, "here’s your food."

Hitoshi hears many appreciative purrs.

His heart pounds in his chest. Is it a villain? But they’re feeding the cats. Are they homeless?

Something grazes his leg, making Hitoshi jump.

It rattles the dumpster.

"Hello?" speaks the voice, "Whoever is there, come out".

Hitoshi covers his mouth (it’s already covered), crouching down and closing his eyes.

Silence, not even the cats.

Hitoshi peeks an eye open—

And promptly has a heart attack because red eyes are staring into his so intensely—

A gurgle sound manages to escape him.

"You want that off, kid?" the person asks.

‘Can’t’

"And why is that?" they ask again and—

They understand me!

‘She’ll get mad. She’s scary’, Hitoshi replies.

The person hums, "How about I take it off for you? Then I can go talk to whoever this ‘She’ is?"

Hitoshi’s eyes widens, shaking his head.

‘She’ll get more mad.’

The person shakes their head, "I'll stop Her then."

'You can't, She's strong.'

The person sighed, making Hitoshi tense.

A hand reaches out. A flinch.

No hits come. Instead, "You can hold it", they say. In their hand is a card, "I'm a hero."

Hitoshi blinks in surprise, grabbing the card. A hero license. That a hero has. That a hero trust’s Hitoshi with. Hope fills his chest eventhough he knows it'll end up being crushed and-

"Don't worry kid", a soft hand runs through his hair. "I'll protect you."

Emotions overwhelm Hitoshi as tears well in his eyes. The latch to it is opened with slow and gentle movement. "I'll protect you."

Amethyst eyes met onyx.

"I promise."

Chapter Text

"So."

"So…?"

"You aren’t dead?"

"Fortunately, no I’m not dead."

Hitoshi watched the two boys have a mini staring contest between each dialogue that was spoken. Bakugou looked at Midoriya like he just saw a dead man (and judging by the blonde’s question, he probably did think that).

Bakugou continued his questions, "What happened to Auntie? What happened to you? I thought you dropped dead when we first entered Aldera." His face was steady, but his voice betrayed him.

Hitoshi has never seen him look that sullen before. It was an odd look on the boy.

Midoriya’s face morphed into something painful, shooting a -not at all- subtle glance to Hitoshi. Ah, ok.

"I’ll take my leave", Hitoshi said, the first words since he entered Midoriya’s -Tsukauchi-san’s?-apartment.

Hitoshi stood up, noting the sets of eyes following him as he exits the room. It’s fine, he thinks, They look like they need to talk.

Hitoshi walked through the corridor into the cozy living room, Reminds me of our old house…

"Ah, Hitoshi."

Hitoshi did not flinch. He didn’t.

(He did, but it wasn’t his fault that Tsukauchi-san is as silent as Dad.)

"Hello Tsukauchi-san. You look as tired as ever", Hitoshi easily snarks, seeing the tired yet sincere look Tsukauchi gives him, "It comes with the job, I’m sure your father can agree."

A smile breaks onto Hitoshi’s face at the small poke to his Dad, taking a seat across the detective at the dining table. The man slides him a mug that he had on the side, "It’s coffee", he said at Hitoshi’s confused face, "black like your dad likes it."

Hitoshi’s smile widens, "My hero", he intends to say but he’s already chugging it by the end of his words. Tsukauchi lets out a small chuckle before going back to the laptop he had open, typing something before pausing and rewriting it.

"What are you doing? Is it confidential?"

"Writing a report on Izuku’s- hmm kidnapping" The man lets out a grumble, his lips pouting almost childishly, "Nezu’s being choosy with the wording and the whole image of this. Obviously, it’s understandable, UA needed a literal teen to realize what they did but- y’know, I shouldn’t be talking about this."

Tsukauchi closes his laptop, "So where are the other boys? Bakugou, was it?" he paused, "They’re not doing anything inappropriate are they-?!"

"What- no. They had this look on them, I think they have some unresolved history or something", Hitoshi shrugged, leaning back into the chair and sipping the warm coffee, "I don’t know."

Tsukauchi just nodded, also taking a sip from his mug, "While they’re at that, what’s Hizashi been up to? Last I heard was Shouta complaining about some kind of hair disaster?"

Hitoshi slammed the mug on the table, "oH YOU HAVE NO IDEA. PAPA WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND—"

"You and Eyebags?"

"Eh?" Izuku replies smartly, earning a scoff from the blonde.

"What's with you and Eyebags?"

Izuku blinks at the odd question, "Shinsou? He's my editor."

Kacchan blinks, a dumbfounded look on his face before he mumbles something akin to 'fuck I'm so dumb' under his breath. "Editor?" he repeats dumbly.

Izuku feels a cheeky smile creep onto his face, "You do know I have a HeroTube channel, right? I don't know if you've heard of me, y'know, all over the news--"

Kacchan shoves a hand into his face, "I fucking know, ok. He's coffecat?"

Izuku stays stunned for a second before his grin becomes even wider, "You watch my videos?"

Kacchan’s face twists into a snarl, "Fuck off, I don’t."

"So you watch Shinsou’s videos?"

A pause says it all, "So you do!!" Izuku claimed happily, ignoring the protest from Kacchan, "You do~"

Kacchan shoved Izuku away, pushing the other boy’s cheek roughly.

Izuku just giggled, despite the slight sting it causes, enjoying the blonde’s company. It’s been so long.

His laughter faded into an awkward silence.

”I’m sorry…” Izuku took an awkward gulp as he thought of the words to continue, “that I left like that. It’s…”

”-not your fault”, Kacchan cut him off, “Whatever, I’m sorry too I guess.”

Izuku startled, his eyes wide and mouth agape. Kacchan gave him a level glare at his face, but doesn’t comment on it, “I was shitty to you all our childhood. Still am, probably. But- fuck, the old hag made me go see someone, cuz’ apparently I was being violent”, Kacchan confessed, looking anywhere but Izuku, muttering ’It’s not like she isn’t a ticking time bomb herself’.

Izuku busied himself with computing the words. He.. genuinely never thought Kacchan would ever apologize. It was.. hell, before he was forced to stop attending school. And Kacchan was a big reason why…

”I…” Izuku starts, “…I appreciate it…” but I don’t know if I can forgive you right now went unsaid.

Kacchan just grunts, before standing up.

”Alright, let’s go see what Eyebags is doing.”

Izuku nodded, silently happy about the topic change. Which reminds him…

”We need to make a video!”

”Hah?!

”Why won’t you let me show your face!!”

”Cause then the extras would be talking about me and you! Fuck no!”

”Are all your conversations like this?”

”Fuck off Eyebags, you also don’t show your face.”

”Well, that went well!”

”You admitted you fucking kidnapped me.”

”He be like that.”

”Today is a big day.”

The whole class stiffens up as Dad says that, their faces scared of another test.

Dad puts down a stack of papers, before turning to the black screen now behind him. Names appear, along with numbers as a graph forms. “These are the amount of internship offers you have received. Usually this starts in your second year, but considering the amount of… attention your class has gotten, UA has decided that this would be a good idea.”

Hitoshi lets out his own small breath of relief as Dad reveals what it actually is. Hitoshi quickly searches the graph for his name. A. Holy. It’s nothing to Todoroki’s 2578 offers, but for someone who didn’t reveal his quirk and practically disappeared after his loss, it was a great feat.

The voice around him blur, he’s slightly aware of his classmates whining of no offers. Hitoshi’s just… overwhelmed.

I… did that? Convinced them to want me…? I’m- what- how…

”To those who didn’t receive offers, there is a selection of agencies who are willing to take you on”, his dad starts, bringing Hitoshi back, “You have until the end of the week to decide, so think about this thoroughly.

Hitoshi looks down at the papers someone passed to his table. He skims the names, most are small time agencies, and while Hitoshi doesn’t care about the size of an agency (honestly, the smaller the better to keep him low-key), a small agency meant less information he could get on it. He needed something solid, and people who he was confident wouldn’t judge him for his quirk.

He sees some surprising names, The Arial, Hawks’ Agency comes out near the top, although Hitoshi fails to see how he could help much, Hawks’ is a fan favourite, especially among the ladies and kids. It would bring too much attention to him.

He also sees Ingenium, but he doesn’t see how he could help him improve. He’ll put it in the back of his mind though, they weren’t a bad agency, the opposite with its strong anti-discrimination policies. And Tensei’s kinda hot… he probably should not mention that to anyone.

WIRA, Groundth, Reaper were among the ones that interest him, but it didn’t seem to fully click.

”Hitoshi.”

Hitoshi looks up to an empty classroom, his dad standing in front of his table.

A small, ’oh’ comes out of his mouth involuntarily, earning a soft sigh from Dad. “I know it’s overwhelming”, his dad starts, ruffling Hitoshi’s hair gently as he always does. It’s welcoming, and Hitoshi leans into it.

”I don’t know…” Hitoshi hesitantly says as the hand pulls back, “It’s too much? I don’t know…” Gears turn in his head, “Are you on my list?” Hitoshi asks hopefully.

”Unfortunately, no.” Dad replies curtly, “We aren’t allowed to send in offers, since the whole point of internships are for the students to branch out. And even if we were, I’ve been assigned a big case by Tsukauchi and you know how he gets about overworking myself”, he sighs out mournfully.

Hitoshi tries not to feel down, but it probably shows on his face (or maybe it didn’t, but Dad is adept at reading his expression.)

”I can help you choose if you want. I offered it to everyone, but I doubt you heard.”

Hitoshi feels himself flush happily, despite the small jab his Dad made at him. “Ok. Any recommendations from the top of your head?”

Dad takes the first page of Hitoshi’s papers and skims it. A grimace forms on his face, “I don’t think any of these…” his voice fades as he gets to the final few. Hitoshi leans in, interested.

”I hate to say it, but…” Dad places the paper back on the table, pointing at one of the agency’s names, his voice sounding forced, “she’s probably one of the best suited for you.”

A laugh threatens to escape Hitoshi.

It’s perfect.

The ding brings Izuku out of his newest daydream about video ideas.

He’s lounging on his bed, the day’s school assignments done and settled. The notification is of his email, but it doesn’t reveal much. Curious, Izuku presses it, and it opens said email.

It’s an email from WIRING.

Holy--

Izuku checks the email from their official website and yup it matches.

He reads through the email, his eyes slowly glittering.

It sounds so fun!

Izuku quickly emails WIRING (not a reply, but a new email through their official website) confirming that the account was theirs and that he was interested.

A thought passed his head for a split second.

Should he have asked Tsukauchi?

…it should be fine.

The video opens with a short clip of the coming video. Yume is seen with a panicked face, before a cackle floats through the studio. Yume’s face turns pale as he drops a board.

”Uhm- You heard that…. right?” Yume asks to someone behind the camera, “Yeah…” comes a muffled response, although the subtitles at the bottom of the video help the viewers, “What was that?”

Yume’s face is still full of terror, “You say his name and he shall be summoned”.

The clip cuts, and the WIRING logo comes onto the screen for a second before showing Yume.

He’s wearing a shirt with the words ‘Suit and Tie’, a familiar sight for his videos.

”Hi, I’m Yume and I’m doing a WIRING autocomplete interview!”

Yume holds up a white board, with a google search, ‘Is Yume…’ autocompleted with the full questions blocked out.

”Let’s begin!” Yume cheers, ripping off the first paper, “’Is Yume real?’ Well I sure hope I am! Yes, I’m real”, he says.”

”Next!” Yume rips off another paper. “’Is Yume single?’ Uh- yeah I am!” Yume says, before he mumbles, “Why would people search that…”

He rips off the next one, “’Is Yume dating coffecat?’ W-what? Nonono we aren’t dating!!” he frantically waves his hands in front of him, bringing the board along, “We’re just friends!!!”

Another paper is ripped off-

”’Is Yume dating Angry-kun—‘ No!! I’m single, god.”

The next paper is ripped off. “’Is Yume a felon?’ Well I sure hope not, but…” Yume trails off awkwardly, looking away from the camera.

The caption writes, ‘He neither confirmed nor denied.’

The final paper for the board is ripped off as Yume leans in to read it, “’Is Yume Nezu…’

Yume is seen with a panicked face, before a cackle floats through the studio. Yume’s face turns pale as he drops the board.

”Uhm- you heard that.. right?” Yume asks to someone behind the camera, “Yeah…” comes a muffled response, although the subtitles at the bottom of the video help the viewers, “What was that?”

Yume’s face is still full of terror, “You say his name and he shall be summoned.”

A voice from behind the camera, ’Guys that came from the vents—'

The screen beeps as ‘Technical Difficulty’ appears.

”We’re back?” Yume whispers to the camera and smiles at the positive confirmation. He’s holding a new board, it says, ‘Does Yume…’.

”Ok, back to the questions…” Yume rips off the first piece of paper, “’Does Yume sing?’ Oh nonono, I cannot sing. coffecat can though! I’ve heard him sing mindlessly before and it’s sooo nice!”

The next paper, “’Does Yume do his own voiceovers?’ Yes! At first I was planning to just use a robot voice sort of thing, but I saw that those types of videos were less popular. Plus, it was less work for me. I guess it does cost more, since I had to buy a good mic? But in the end it was worthitsoI’dsayifyou'regoingforthistypeofvideotonotgetausbmiccausetheyaren’tasgoodand—“

”Uh, Yume?” the cameraman’s voice rings out again, “We should move on?”

Yume flushes, “Right, sorry!”

He rips another paper off, flinging the trash off camera as he reads, “’Does Yume’ make his own clothes?’ What…?”

Yume looks up to the camera for guidance, an obvious confused expression on his face.

”I think they’re referring to your shirts with words on them”, the cameraman replies. An understanding look flashes on Yume’s face.

”Ahhh! These shirts?” Yume gestures to the one he was reading right that moment, “Nope! But I buy them from the same shop. It’s a small business type of store and all of the embroidery is hand-done. I haven’t bought any new ones lately though, since all my clothes still fit me from 3 years ago”, Yume lets out a small laugh.

He goes and rips the next paper.

”’Does Yume know IceSeeYou?’ I wasn’t expecting this question!” Yume lowers the board as he continues to talk, “Yeah! Well, not personally, but I have watched some of his videos. It’s uhm… interesting? He brings up valid points, and he curiously has lots of hero testimonies… unless he can mimic voices? Is he a troll? But he sounds so serious duringhisvideosthatIdoubthe’snotactuallybelievingwhathe’ssayingunlesshe’sthatgoodofanactorinwhichcasedamn—“

Yume startles with a blink, “Ah, I mumbled again, sorry. In short, yes, I have watched his videos but I don’t know him on any personal level!”

Yume rips off the final paper for that board, “’Does Yume is gay?’” Yume pauses, looking straight at the camera, ”Does Yume is gay?” he repeats in a questioning tone. Then he hums, throwing the board of camera, “Who knows.”

The video then cuts forward, Yume holding the next and final board, reading ’What is Yume’s…’.

Yume smiles at the camera, “Alright, final board guys!” He goes and rips of the first paper. “’What is Yume’s age?’ Well actually, I transcend time so”, he replies casually, going to rip off the next question.

”’What is Yume’s real name?’ Wouldn’t you like to know, Weather Boy.”

The next paper is ripped off, “’What is Yume’s editor’s name?’ It’s Coffecat! I mean, that’s not his real name but y’know, yes. Go check him out, his cats are so cute!”

Yume rips off the next question, “’What is Yume’s zodiac sign?’ I’m a cancer! Although I’m not sure what that really means… I hope you don’t hate me for it?”

Yume says, his face scrunching up.

”Anyway”, Yume rips of the next paper, “’What is Yume’s best video’ Oh wow, well I can’t choose myself, but ah, I really love my video on Thirteen and Water Hose. And of course we can’t forget my first ever video on Present Mic, it’s slightly cringey, but it’s lovely to me nonetheless”, Yume goes to rip of the next paper, “Awh, it’s already the final question. Ok, make it good.”

The paper is ripped off.

”’What is Yume’s channel name?’” Yume blinks, a blank look on his face as he turns to the cameraman with a deadpan stare. “Seriously?”

Hesitantly, the man behind the camera speaks, “I-I’m sorry?”

With a sad sigh, Yume pouts, “My channel name is Yume…”

friendship ended

WAIT NO

Izuku ignores his grumbling stomach as he finishes the first version of the script. It needs more fleshing out, and the lines of thoughts would need to be edited to be more coherent, but all in all it’s a good start.

Izuku spares a quick glance to the clock in the corner of the screen.

Tsukauchi-san should be back in a bit.

Izuku hums absentmindedly, standing up from his chair to stretch.

God has today been tiring.

The door opens with a small click, followed by footsteps walking into the apartment. Izuku lights up.

He rushes out of his room, spotting the man taking of his jacket. Izuku giggles to himself, saying a quick, “Heads up!” as a warning before he’s slamming into Tsukauchi, enveloping him in a hug. Tsukauchi yelps at the sudden weight, but quickly steadies himself to return the embrace.

”Woah, what’s this about?” Tsukauchi chuckles out, awkwardly waddling to the sofa with a teen attached to him. Izuku grins up at the man, “I want food.”

Tsukauchi lets out a belly laugh, lifting the plastic of take out in his left hand, “Go wash your hands, mister.”

Izuku hums, detaching himself from the man and rushing to the kitchen to clean up. The cool water feels nice on his hands, especially after typing so much. The feeling of dust on his hands seem to disappear with the stream. He closes the tap, grabbing two plates.

Tsukauchi sets down the food, some friend rice from a nearby shop, and Izuku quickly puts them on the plate. He hears Tsukauchi set down some of his stuff on the table before washing his own hands. Izuku passes his plate to him, earning a small thanks.

They both settle down on the couch as Tsukauchi opens the TV to some random channel.

”…celebrates his 10th year on the job with…” comes through, but its mainly background noise for them. “How was your day?” Tsukauchi asks Izuku, before taking another scoop of his rice. Izuku hums with rice in his mouth, “Ith swath guth-“ he says through the food, earning a stern look from Tsukauchi.

Izuku smiles cheekily.

He swallow the rice, “It was good. They finally released the WIRING interview, although it took less time than I thought it would.”

”The interview where you forgot to tell me, went by yourself, didn’t think to update me about your location which caused me to sent out patrol cars?” Tsukauchi jabs, half serious by his expression. Izuku lets out a guilty laugh, looking away with a smile.

Tsukauchi just rolls his eyes fondly, before they went back to their food.

”…iller: Stain reported to be seen lurking around the Hosu area, after his most recent attack on Ottemary. We warn any residents to avoid going out at night, especially alone. Any additional information on his whereabouts will be…” floats through the speakers. Tsukauchi swears under his breath.

”Are you involved with Stain?” Izuku asks, curious. Tsukauchi shakes his head, running a hand through his hair, “No, but I’ve heard about it. He’s a tricky one, and his motive seems to be very opinionated, so we can’t really predict his next victim.”

”His motive?” Izuku hasn’t heard about that. Tsukauchi nods, “Yeah, he claims he kills heroes to cleanse the world of the bad ones, but some could argue that making a fundraiser to rebuild damaged houses is a good thing, but then again it could be seen as the hero not wanting to use their own money and not taking accountability, depending on your point of view. Stain seems to target ‘bad’ heroes, some of which I agree are terrible but others…” Tsukauchi pauses, looking at Izuku stuffing his face with the food, “Ah, I don’t think I should share this with you. It’s technically classified.”

Tsukauchi ruffles Izuku’s hair, before standing up to wash his plate at the kitchen.

Izuku gets lost in thought.

”YOU’RE INTERNING WITH MS. JOKE?”

Hitoshi sigh as Midoriya’s green hair enters his vision, “Wow, I’m great thank you for asking”, Hitoshi replies with a deadpan stare. Midoriya chuckles sheepishly.

”Sorry, sorry. It’s just, you get to meet Ms. Joke! She’s one of the few twilight heroes that is quite known, and her quirk so amazing sinceit’snotwhatyou’dconsidertobeaquirkforheroicsand—“

”Midoriya, take a breather please. Your face is so red you look like you’ll pass out.”

Midoriya ignores the jab, smiling as he takes a sip of the mango tea Hitoshi ordered for him. He lets out a small sigh of relief, so Hitoshi thinks he chose right.

”Anyway, yes, I’m interning with Joke”, Hitoshi answers the question, his fingers carding through Willow’s fur. Cats are so precious.

Midoriya perks up, “That’s so cool!” he exclaims, before blinking, “But why Joke though? I didn’t really expect that. Although, you do want to go undergroundsoIguessshe’sagoodplacetogetoutsideexperiencefromsinceIassumeAizawasancouldn’tsendinanofferhimselfplusshehasavoicequirktooonethatdoesn’tevenhavemuchofaphysicaleffectsoshe’sverygoodatmartialartsandhandtohandcombatso—” Hitoshi watches in fascination as Midoriya practically lists the reasons he should go with Ms. Joke. Suddenly Izuku catches himself, his cheeks flushing.

”AH, sorry, I didn’t mean to mumble away like that…” he laughs, but it doesn’t sound cheery. Hitoshi feels himself frown slightly before he goes back to his blank face. “It’s fine”, Hitoshi says, “I don’t mind, it’s interesting to see how your brain works. Plus, you did just mention everything I was going to say which is great because less talking more cats.”

Izuku studies him for a second before nodding with a relenting sigh, going to take another sip of his tea. Hitoshi watches his posture, he’s a bit tense, but that’s ok.

Hitoshi lifts Willow and places him on Izuku’s lap.

Nothing a few cats can’t fix.

He hasn’t seen Kacchan since Auntie Mitsuki picked him up (not before giving Izuku a bone-crushing hug and a whack to the head along with a stern order to call her once in a while), Izuku wonders who he went with for the internships. Knowing Kacchan, he’d probably go with a high-ranking hero.

Izuku makes a note to text Aizawa on advising Kacchan to choose someone better. Mirko perhaps? They’re equally.. chaotic. Or maybe Grand Orca, he seems like he can shape Kacchan without blunting his fangs.

Gang Orca was in Hosu recently, no? He missed Stain by a few days, but Izuku doubts Stain would go for him. Stain seems to target heroes who have some sort of secret with their money, as if using their own money for anything other than donations is wrong. Although Izuku agrees on some of his choices for victims (like Wrill, who was using his money to pay people to commit a crime before he would ‘arrest’ them to gain publicity) he definitely disagreed with Stain’s approach.

The conversation with Tsukauchi couldn’t seem to leave Izuku’s mind, even after meeting up with Shinsou to catch up and plan the next few videos seeing as Hitoshi was going on the internships.

Maybe there was a pattern? He must’ve found the heroes information from somewhere, not that the public couldn’t find most of it but Izuku had to dig deep so even find some of the scandals Stain would talk about to the heroes. And that was only the heroes that got away from (more like was spared by) Stain and were willing to share what Stain accused them of. Then again, most were still in critical condition, so obviously they couldn’t share what was said to them.

Maybe Izuku shouldn’t touch this, it wasn’t some random hero he wanted to analyze, nor was it a one and done thing like the Sludge Villain Incident. He can’t go out and say ‘Oh yeah Stain’s going to target this person of that person’ all willy-nilly like that. Plus, if Stain (by some miracle) saw Izuku’s video then he’d obviously change his target to someone else. Or maybe he wouldn’t if he truly believed the person was a bad hero, Stain seems unhinged like that.

A small laugh escapes Izuku at his brain’s wording but it easily slips back into a frown. It feels wrong to just leave this be, he felt like he could help somehow.

You’re not a hero, Izuku. You don’t have to do this.

Izuku startles at the thought, why did that hurt more than he thought it would. He realized that months ago.

Just because I’m not a hero doesn’t mean I shouldn’t help how I can…

Yeah, but you should leave this to the authorities. It’s dangerous.

Izuku nods to himself, True, but since when have I ever had any self-preservation skills?

Izuku immediately stands up at that final thought, the voice in his head (which sounded oddly like Shinsou) quieted with what seemed to be a groan of frustration as Izuku goes to his room.

The computer opens with a bright glow as Izuku settles into his chair.

The answers aren’t going to find themselves.

”I’m ho—Izuku?”

Izuku’s eyes stayed glued to the screen. His eyes were wide as he scrolled through articles, switching to a Word document before switching back. He mumbles under his breath, thoughts running through his brain in a jumble of mess and words that merge like mismatched cabins on an old train.

He doesn’t hear the knock on the door, not the sound of it opening and the sigh of someone else.

He jumps when Tsukauchi touches his shoulder, looking around at the dark room. Ah, it’s already night.

”Izuku, you should take a break. C’mon, I got maggi goreng, let’s get away from the screen, yeah?”

Izuku almost whines, the analysis is almost done, but he relents seeing the worried look on Tsukauchi’s face.

With only minimal resistance, Izuku puts his computer on sleep mode before heading to the kitchen, Tsukauchi leading him with a hand on his back.

The smell of the wafting noodles enters Izuku’s nose and only then does he realize how hungry he actually is. His stomach grumbles with agreement, so Izuku lets himself sit as Tsukauchi grabs the plates and sets the food down in front of him.

He gobbles the noodles down as soon as he gets a taste. God, he hasn’t eaten since this morning probably.

He thinks Tsukauchi chuckles at him but he’s not sure over the delicious taste flooding his senses.

”So what were you working on? You seemed more focused than usual, you didn’t even acknowledge me coming home”, Tsukauchi asks casually. Izuku feels himself freeze. He hasn’t told Tsukauchi about what he was doing.

”I- uh…” Izuku looks around, “I was working on something…”

Tsukauchi waits patiently for Izuku to continue as the boy curses the fact that he usually talks a lot, Of course that wouldn’t be enough of an explanation!

Izuku gives his best cheeky smile, “I researched Stain’s past victims. See, there’s a pattern to how he chooses them and—“

”Izuku.”

Izuku closes his mouth.

Tsukauchi looks at his with a full on disappointed expression, “I know you want to help. But Stain is dangerous and I don’t want you anywhere near him, even if you’re just searching online. You never know.”

”But—“

”Please, Izuku. I know you’re worried, especially since Bakugou will be in Hosu tomorrow for his internship but—“

”Kacchan’s what-? And that’s not—“

”—I can’t help but worry. You look like you haven’t blink a day. Plus, Stain doesn’t seem to have much of a pattern other than 2 attacks and a murder at each city. I don’t want you to stress yourself—“

”IT'S NATIVE.”

Tsukauchi pauses at the outburst. Izuku takes advantage of that, “His next victim is Native. He’s a lesser known hero, and he patrols in Hosu. He’s been under fire before for allegedly using his money to support the destruction of native settlements, adding to the fact that he’s not actually native. It’s the perfect victim.

The man blinks, setting down his fork, “Ok. You think it’s Native. Why not the other tens of heroes that also work in Hosu? Yes, Stain seem like he would target Native, but how can you be sure that Stain even knows about the scandals?” he challenges. Izuku falters, but he sees how serious Tsukauchi is being.

”H-he seems to search for victims on discussion boards, where he takes interest in more personated opinions and experiences. I went through some of more hidden but large discussion boards and easily found hero hating posts. Most were pure hatred for no genuine reason, but I found a few users who seem to back up their claims. There was one person who’d make weekly posts hating on different heroes, and out of the 31 posts they’ve made, 14 have been victims of Stain, not one of his victims weren’t on the list. Yes, I know it’s a weak link to say that Stain follows that list, but I noticed that on all the posts about the victims, there’s this user who would ask more questions about the heroes’ crimes. The user has commented on 18 posts, all of which were the victims.”

Izuku takes out his phone, which was connected to his Word account, and reads off the evidence, “I went ahead and did a background check on the user and his name, which used to be Akaguro_Chi changed their name to SocietyCleanser, which, by the way, is a terrible name if you wanna be on the down low, it’s too Stain-like. I checked the user’s account and their posts seem to be about fake heroes, cleansing society and ‘doing the job myself’. The order they comment on posts is following their victim order and usually a whole 7 days after the comment a hero would be attacked. Well, except…”

The stunned face on the detective’s face made Izuku stop in his information dump. You can’t blame him, he’s been holding his findings the past few days!

The detective eventually lets out a small breath, before closing his eyes and muttering something under his breath. “Alright kid. I’m sorry I asked you to stop, since you’re obviously already in deep. It’s— wow, that’s a lot of leads. Ok, ok. What were you going to say?”

Izuku let out a small smile, before going back to his document, “Well, out of the 4 posts of his not-yet-victims that he’d commented on, 3 of them were commented on in between heroes he attacked.”

Tsukauchi leans in, food forgotten, “Explain?”

”Well, if we look to a month ago, they commented on the post for Mirrow, who Stain attacked and subsequently killed. Next, they commented on a post for Kaizo but Stain didn’t do anything to him. Then the user commented on the post for Flirn, whom Stain attacked. Oddly enough, the 7 day period that usually applied after the comment was shortened to 4 in Flirn’s case, but, if you take into account that Kaizo was supposed to be the victim, then Flirn’s attack was 7 days after Kaizo’s post’s comment. It’s as if something changed Stain’s mind from attacking Kaizo and he quickly changed his sights to Flirn, keeping the original intended time of attack”, Izuku explained, tacking on a, “Assuming the commenter is Stain.”

Tsukauchi nods seriously, his phone now open, like he was taking notes. “What about the other 2 comments that weren’t victims? And is the poster of the discussion involved in Stain’s whole idea?”

Izuku nods, “Yup. Stain commented on a post on Timber, who wasn’t attack but only 2 days after that he commented on a post about Slodge, who was attacked 5 days later. Recently, Stain commented on a post on Ingenium, but it was quickly followed by a comment on Rubber not even a day later, and then Rubber was attacked 7 days after that. And don’t think the original poster has anything to do with Stain, I checked their account too and they’re just a normal civilian who lives overseas. They have something against Japanese Heroes, despite being Japanese themself. I think it has something to do with the HPSC…” Izuku nods to himself.

”And the remaining one comment?”

Izuku grimaces, “It’s on a post about Native.”

Izuku watches it all click for Tsukauchi, “And… when was the comment made?”

The boy looks down at his notes with a trembling sigh, “6 days ago.”

Chapter Text

Hitoshi landed on the mat with another thud, groaning at the pain that shoots through his spine. A laugh echoes through the basement, as Hitoshi raises his head to glare at Miss Joke before he melts into the ground with exhaustion.

Joke lets out another laugh, “Get up, Miniraser! I’ve still got some pop in me!” She strikes a pose.

Hitoshi is regretting going with Ms. Joke.

”No thanks-“ Hitoshi grunts out, hissing as he sits himself up, “I’m good.”

Instead of a laugh that Hitoshi expected, Ms. Joke studied him before nodding to herself. “Alright! We’re going on a walk!” She turns around, lazily nodding to a silent song as she walks away.

Hitoshi wishes he can burn a hole through his legs so he doesn’t have to walk.

”Why… Are we in Hosu..?” Hitoshi hesitantly asks, glancing around at the unfamiliar city. The sun had set while they were on the bullet train, and the darkness that enveloped Hitoshi sent a shiver down Hitoshi.

Hitoshi fiddles with the tunnel like bumps on the fingers of his gloves, the custom-made gloves is inspired by his dad's scarf, but Hitoshi was going for a... puppeteer vibe. Spreading his hands out a bit, Hitoshi watches the capture-weapon like material shoot out before retracting back in.

Why does he feel so… on edge?

”There’s a nice little café here that serves the best mac and cheese and I’ve been craving it for weeks!

Hitoshi blinks.

What.

They walk along the more back areas of the city. The chill air seeps into Hitoshi’s eyes, making him want to close his them and just sleep. Maybe he should invest in some type of goggles like Dad’s.

Ms. Joke was whistling casually, a bounce in her step.

Something prickled Hitoshi’s senses.

Then he felt a searing heat on his back.

”Conniver!”

Hitoshi sucks in a breath, hissing at at immediate pain that courses through him. His ribs ache, and his chest seems to burn.

"Conniver! Where are you? Call out if you can!" Hitoshi hears Ms. Joke from somewhere. He's amidst some pieces of rubble, thankfully not buried under anything.

He steadies a hand on a piece of concrete beside him, attempting to stand up--

Fuck-

Pain takes over as his back seems to be stinging with every slight movement. "I'm here-" Hitoshi manages to call out, hoping to god that Ms. Joke could hear him because holy shit why does that hurt so much--

Footsteps come toward him. Hitoshi looks up and heaves a small sigh of relief as he spots Ms. Joke, another hiss of pain escaping him from the action.

Ms. Joke appears in front of him. "Hey, kiddo", she whispers, crouching down to help Hitoshi up, "Let's get you up and runnin', yeah?"

Hitoshi nods as much as he can, taking deep breaths as Ms. Joke manages to get him standing.

"What's the condition, heroling?" Ms. Joke asked, moving an arm to support Hitoshi's weight. Thankfully, she was deceivingly strong.

"I feel like my back was blown-" Ms. Joke let out a small snort, "-quite literally, ok?"

Ms. Joke shakes her head in amusement before it falters. Hitoshi follows her eyes, finally registering his surroundings. Nearby buildings are destroyed, he could spot people running around as other heroes lead them to a presumably safer place.

"What's happenin'?" Hitoshi mumbles, stumbling on the rubble under his feet. Ms, Joke hums, looking around, "Most likely villains. Their goal, however, is what we need to focus on right now. Are you stable enough? Or do we need to head bac--"

Hitoshi looked up to Ms. Joke, wondering why she suddenly stopped talking when Hitoshi heard the animalistic sounds himself. Nomu..

Panicked prickled down his spine, sending a jolt of adrenaline through Hitoshi. "We need to get out of here", Hitoshi gasped out, earning a 'what?'. Hitoshi tugged Ms. Joke's sleeve frantically, "Now. We need to get out of here now!" Hitoshi took a step in the other direction of that, thing, hissing slightly. Hitoshi gritted his teeth, making sure he had a firm grip on Ms. Joke's arm before booking it away. His legs trembled with the effort to stay upright and moving but he willed it to go away.

"W-wait! What was that?" Ms. Joke stumbled out, matching Hitoshi's pace. "A nomu. Some, bio-engineered mush of quirks. Capable of going head-to-head with All Might."

Hitoshi could spot Ms. Joke's face morph into one of dread. "Did it... was it there? At USJ?" She asks, hesitant.

Hitoshi could only nod grimly as he kept running away, occasionally directing civilians away from the monster. He's sure that there were more capable heroes fighting that thing, but he knows he's useless in that endeavor. Hopefully some other heroes got it covered...

Screams fill Hitoshi's ears as a building started to shake, multitudes of people running out for safety. Ms. Joke pulls Hitoshi back, "We need to help them. Are you ok enough for that? How's your back?"

"Honestly, if I think about it the adrenaline would probably fade so let's just do it."

Ms. Joke nods, "Ok. As your mentor, I give you permission to use your quirk, to save yourself or others, only."

Hitoshi nods, before they enter the building. Ms. Joke handles the children, making them crack a laugh even in the most stressful situations and getting them outside. Hitoshi helps a few other people, using his capture spring to redirect some falling items.

As the building rumbles, Hitoshi looks around, spotting no one else. Ms. Joke gives him the clear to exit the building first, making sure the people outside start moving away from the building and to a more open area, where medical help can spot them.

Hitoshi escorts a man to his family when a slight shift in the shadow catches his eye.

No one was watching so...

Hitoshi climbs the roof with his gloves, landing with a soft thud before effortlessly searching from above for anything suspicious.

A sudden blaze of fire catches his attention. Hitoshi leaps off a building, crouching down as he hears voices.

He peeks over the edge of the roof and- "Todoroki?" He whispers to himself.

There, in the alley, was Todoroki Shouto, fire alight. He was saying something to--

Stain.

What the fuck.

Hitoshi tried to calm down his nerves, tuning into the conversation.

"Son of Endeavour. How fitting, another false hero, and his little heroic creation." Stain smirks, licking his lips crazily, "Good thing for you, you seem to have good intentions, wanting to save our poor fake over here", Stain says, gesturing to a body in the shadows.

Hitoshi squints, spotting a.. body? He blinks, trying to identify the person but it was too dark, even with Todoroki's flames.

"Unfortunately-" Stain continues his monologue, "I can't have any... unplanned witnesses-" Stain suddenly lunges towards Todoroki, who barely manages to dodge. Stain's knife grazes Todoroki's cheek, a small drop of blood falling down.

Stain smirks. Hitoshi watches in horror as Stain brings his dagger to his lips, that tongue slipping out of his mouth grotesquely to lick of the blood. Todoroki freezes.

So that's your quirk...

"What," Todoroki could only grunt out, "Let me go."

So that's your quirk...

Hitoshi took a deep breath, before going to the other side of the roof and jumping down into a narrow alley, creeping closer to the scene.

Lifting his Artificial Vocal Chord to his mouth, he turns the knob, thankful for his training in copying his classmates' voices.

"Why are you killing heroes?

Todoroki paused, his blank face breaking slightly before settling back. Hitoshi hopes Stain doesn't notice.

Stain blinks. His eyes narrow, and Hitoshi feels his heart burning.

"Heroes nowadays are greedy, money hungry, attention seekers. I'm saving the world from them, from the fakes--"

Hitoshi feels the strings of his control tighten. He heaves a heavy sigh.

Taking a second to make sure Stain was really under his control, Hitoshi took a step out of the shadows, revealing himself.

"Conniver", Todoroki breathes out. Hitoshi nods, "Shouto."

A whimper brings Hitoshi's attention back to the body he forgot about. Hitoshi rushes towards them, Native's face becoming clear now that he's closer.

Hitoshi cringes at the wound in his stomach. "Did you call anyone?" Hitoshi asks Todoroki, opening the compartment on his shin containing a first aid kit.

"I texted my dad... Do you know how long I'll have to stay like this?" Todoroki asks. Hitoshi shrugs, before doing his best in patching what he knows he can. Native grunts, he seems out of it.

Hitoshi hisses as the pain in his back comes slowly comes to the forefront of his mind. A pounding in his head, the connection his mind has to Stain, is straining. God, for once in his life he's hoping Endeavour shows up.

And that he does.

The blazing hero appears around the corner, a stern look on his face. Todoroki was still frozen- nope he suddenly falls. Hitoshi turns to Native, "Can you move?" He receives what he assume is a shake of the head.

Hitoshi tunes out whatever Endeavour is saying to his son, the pain coming back full force. He stumbles down, leaning on the side on the building. A soft curse leaves his lips, he's trying his best to stay awake, keep Stain under his grasp but it hurt, god it--

"Conniver!" A voice rang as steps grew louder. Hitoshi opens his eyes (when did he close them-) to see Ms. Joke running to him, Endeavour in the background, securing Stain.

"Y'know usually in a hit and run the person who's hitting runs away, not the person who got hit", she jokes weakly, but Hitoshi lets out a scoff. "Gotta be quick, 'm loosing him..." Hitoshi mumbles out.

Ms Joke sends a glance at Stain, who was still frozen, secured in quirk-canceling cuffs. Hitoshi lets out a cough, immediately regretting it as his head seems to spin. "Fuck," Hitoshi lets out a shuddering breath.

Hitoshi's view fades and voices mumble in the background. Ms Joke nudges him, "Stay awake, kid."

Hitoshi nods absent-mindedly.

He can do that.

He can stay awake.

Yeah.

He doesn't sleep normally.

So it should

Should be easy

Should

easy

fall

Someone shouts.

Tsukauchi-san heaves out a heavy sigh as he finishes his phone call.

Izuku pretends not to listen in, but he's sure Tsukauchi-san knows that. "Stain is captured", he says, as simple as that. "Thank god our police team in Hosu got a heads up, they were ready with a proper cell and detainment equipment but... some complications arose. I have to head there for a bit."

Izuku nods along, computing the information. He hopes no one got hurt.

"There's also..." Tsukauchi-san paused, "Don't look at the news, ok? The... the League of Villains were also there. I don't want you obsessing over them, or trying to solve something you shouldn't touch." Tsukauchi looks at him sternly, kneeling down and placing his hands on Izuku's shoulder. "Relax for today, ok?"

Izuku pouts, but reluctantly nods.

Tsukauchi-san smiles, ruffling Izuku's hair. "See you tomorrow, kid."

In Izuku's defense... he didn't watch the news.

He did however, browse the internet.

Sue him, he's a HeroTuber, he's always online for some reason, and he wasn't even going to search about the attack in Hosu, just message Shinsou or answer some comments.

Then he saw the video.

It was titled, 'Hero Killer: Stain (REUPLOAD)', and it was trending.

Curiosity turned to a grim realization when he watched the video.

The video revealed Stain's real name, his motifs, his background. The person who created it twisted what Stain was doing into something less violent, something good, something the world needed. Something heroic.

'A hero must not expect anything in return', it explained, 'most heroes nowadays talk like one, but they are fake.'

And then Izuku's heart drops.

A scene, shot from what he assumes is a news helicopter. Shinsou, there in his hero suit, laying on the ground, breathing heavily. A dead... monster of some sort, what Izuku presumes is a Nomu, laying beside him.

Stain stands tall, a manic look in his eyes. "Someone", the villain starts, "must be covered in blood. The heroes... must be brought back."

The camera shifts slightly to show a hint of flames. Endeavour's boot. "Come", Stain announces, "Come at me, you fake ones." The camera zooms into Stain's face, saliva was dripping down his face, "The only one allowed to kill me, is the number one hero; All Might--!"

The video ends suddenly, leaving a feeling of dread in Izuku.

Is Shinsou ok? Is that why Tsukauchi had to go-- God, please let Shinsou be ok. Fuck, please be ok-

shinsou please tell me youre ok
please reply if you can
shinsou
youre probably just sleeping right?
please text me when you can
ur phone is ok right? i need to calm down
text me when you can

please be ok

Izuku, now restless, not being able to do anything about Shinsou's current situation shifts his attention back to the video.

How is the public going to react-? There are going to be sympathizers, people who agree with Stain's outlook and don't properly process the fact that Stain kills people.

And what about the LoV? They were also there. Are they working together? No, no. From the way Shinsou described the main villain from USJ, he doesn't think he would be the type to team up, at least willingly. Plus, Stain has a goal, a fucked up goal but a goal nonetheless. Meanwhile LoV wanted to kill All Might, who Stain is really a big fan of. A coincidence? Maybe, but it's too specific too fully be a coincidence.

It looks pretty much like Stain is working with the league. But he won't. Do people realize that? Izuku checks the comments, and most of the people think they're working together. That could-

The dread in Izuku grows.

People will flock to the LoV now. They'll agree with Stain's ideology, and flock to the LoV. Shit--

He needs to do something about it.

"When I was thinking that I had to do something I have no idea why my brain came up with this..." Yume opens the video, following it up with an awkward laugh. "I'm sure you've all seen the video going around on Stain."

Yume leans into the camera, a serious look on his face. "And here's why-" Yume pulls out a metal pointing stick, moving aside to reveal his background was actually a whiteboard,  "-Stain sucks ass". The board has the words 'Stain's Hyprocrisy' on it.

"Now, I'm sure you know Stain, but for those who don't, he's a villain who targets heroes. He usually attacks 3 heroes in a district before moving on; leaving two of the heroes severely injured and the last hero dead. Yes, dead. He targets what he claims as 'fake heroes'. We're going to break that down."

Yume leans in, "Point number 1, his motive. He says the heroes he targets are quote-on-quote, 'fake' heroes. No hero is pure, according to him, other than All Might." Yume pins sticks a picture of All Might onto the whiteboard with a magnet, before opening a marker. "Now, I want to preface this by saying that in no way and I implying that All Might is a terrible hero, he saves people, whether physically or just by being the Symbol of Peace. This is just to analyze Stain's ideals."

Yume write down 'All Might' on top of the picture, before writing, 'Qualities of FAKE HERO' on the other side of the board.

"Let's list these down first", Yume says, "One, becomes a hero for the money. Two, becomes a hero for the fame. Three, decides to become a hero because it's the trend. Four, becoming a hero because of family expectations. Five, ignoring the civilians' safety."

Yume now turns to the All Might picture. "Let's compare. Points 1 to 4 is unknown to us, since we don't know much about All Might's life. However, we can look at it from an objective point. All Might earns a lot of money. And I mean, a lot. Heroes are paid by the government in charge of heroes, for example, in Japan we have the Hero Public Safety Commission. Based on the number of villains a certain hero captures or takes down, is how much that hero will get. There's a whole system which isn't relevant, but All Might, for obvious reasons, gets paid a lot. On top of that his name, his face, are all his property. Every time it's used in commercials, or on products, All Might will get a cut of the profit. So, if we're basing Stain's ideals on someone who doesn't save for money, then all heroes should count as a fake hero."

Yume writes a number 1 under All Might's picture before ticking it.

"Point number two, for the fame. Again, I'm pretty sure All Might doesn't do it for the fame. But, he is the literal Symbol of Peace. He's the most famous person on Earth. So having All Might as your choice of real hero?" Yume makes a 'reallly' face. "According to point number 2, Underground Heroes should be praised, and they should. They have no fame, no recognition on the streets. No merchandise either, which is connected to point number 1. They handle the most rough parts of our society, and what do they get back? Well, a hard earned salary, because y'know, being a hero is a job afterall, and most likely nightmares."

Yume writes number 2 and ticks it off.

"Three and four can kind of be squished together. As far as we know, All Might does have good intentions in becoming a hero, and he has no well-known hero relative, as he never really talks about his family, so these points are crossed out." Yume writes 3 and 4, before writing a cross beside them.

"Number 5", Yume continues, "Ignoring civilian's safety. Here's where All Might doesn't really shine. Yes, he gives people hope, his mere presence immediately calms people. However, his strength is in his power. He's a fighter, he fights the villains, and saves the day. If we follow this, Rescue Heroes should be the ones being praised. Flirn, who was attacked by Stain, is a rescue hero, but his whole job is to focus on the civilians."

Yume stares into the camera, "Not only is Stain's ideology flawed, it's very biased. Yes, All Might is an amazing hero, but he's not perfect. Nor is anyone. There is no hero out there that is perfect." Yume lets out a tired sigh, "And there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a hero for the money. Is it wrong to want to support yourself or your family? As long as you care about people, you do your job, you be a hero, then it's not wrong to want something as payment. No one's out there blaming police officers from getting a salary, right? No one's mad that firefighters are shown on TV. Yes, Limelight Heroes are definitely in this weird half-area of being a celebrity, but it's a natural thing. We live in a world with literal superpowers. Of course, people will become popular."

"Of course, there are heroes out there who fit into this definition of fake, like-" Yume's eyes widen and snapped his mouth shut, "-anyway, yes, those heroes exist and it's unfortunate. But that's our duty, as the people these heroes are supposed to protect, to bring them to justice. Legally. To the heroes out there that use their power to bully, discriminate, influence people in a terrible way, they should fuck off. But the heroes Stain hurt? Most of them were innocent, working to get money so their children can live comfortably, doing interviews on TV to inspire people like them. At the end of the day, it's not a bad thing."

Yume flips the whiteboard to the other side, which is blank. "That's all for this rant slash discussion. Stain's a biased maniac who's obviously a big All Might stan and can't stand for people who are just trying to live their lives", Yume  scrunches his nose, "And he doesn't have a nose. Which is... ok."

Yume nods absentmindedly. "Voldemort-lookin-ass", he mutters under his breath.

"That's all for this video, don't stan Stain, stan Underground and Rescue Heroes, bye."

The screen turns black.

Tenya startles when Hitoshi let out the loud sigh.

"Are you ok, Hitoshi-kun?" he asks. Hitoshi nods in reply, waving his hand as if shooing the worry away. Without giving Iida a glance, Hitoshi looks back down at his phone, scrolling through the multiple articles being pumped out by news outlets about Stain, and now, Midoriya.

That fucker.

Hitoshi goes back to his messages with Midoriya, waiting for him to reply. Hitoshi grumbles to himself.

"Stupid, posting another video. What is he thinking? That dumbass, he's going to get cancelled one day and it's because of his stupid impulse. Stupid. What if some wacko Stain follower finds his address? What an idiot!"

Hitoshi closes his phone with a scoff as no answer comes back. He leans back into the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Are you sure you are alright, Shinsou?"

Shinsou blinks, turning to face Todoroki. He didn't really expect the boy to talk to him. "I'm fine, Todoroki-kun. It's nothing."

Todoroki nods, seemingly satisfied. Hitoshi goes back to his phone.

Still. No. Reply.

Deciding to let it go, there wasn't much he could do until Midoriya goes online, Hitoshi messages his dads to check up on their location before putting his phone down to charge. With a yawn, Hitoshi settles in for a quick nap.

His heartbeat seems to be too loud, too noticeable. He crouches down behind a pillar, his hands covering his mouth, silencing his shallow breaths.

He heard a step. Heavy. Then two. Then three.

The animalistic huffs and echoes through the building. So close.

And closer.

Its soft growl sends a shiver up his spine.

It's right behind him. He knows it.

His heart won't stop pounding.

It hurts.

He takes a sharp breath in.

This is it. He's done for. He gets ready for the inevitable. For it to end.

The thing turns beside the pillar and sees him and he's screaming and the pain--

"--Shinsou!"

Hitoshi jumps up from his dream, and is met face to face with-

Midoriya?

"What-" Hitoshi starts, "-what are you doing here?"

"Your dads brought me here!" He replies, not explaining anything, really. Midoriya leans back, getting out of Hitoshi's face (thankfully) and sitting down on the chair beside his bed. "They're outside the room by the way. How are you?"

It takes Hitoshi a few seconds to process everything. No one had ever cared enough to visit him at the hospital before, bar his dads of course, so it's kind of heartwarming. Second of all-

"What were you fucking thinking uploading a video like that!" Hitoshi smacks Midoriya's head, "You and your idiotic impulsiveness!"

Midoriya has the audacity to simply smile while rubbing his head.

"I'm sorry, ok! I saw you in the video and of course I couldn't help myself-"

"-clearly-"

"-and had to make a video debunking his ideologies cause y'know they're harmful and y'know how passionate I am about holding heroes responsible-"

"-I think the whole internet knows-"

"-but the way Stain went with it is so maniacal but sounds reasonable eventhough it's not and you never know who'll see that video and think 'Oh I'm going to be a villain and purge fake heroes' like it's a good thing so I needed to put my video out as soon as possible ok!"

Hitoshi looks at him with a blank face, "Are you done?"

Midoriya nods in reply, earning a sigh from Hitoshi. "I just want to make sure that what you put out there isn't exposing you to danger", Hitoshi groans, laying back down, "You could've rambled your address and you yourself wouldn't've known."

"Hey-! Actually, you're probably right."

A cough breaks them out of their small bubble, and Hitoshi could feel his face redden with embarrassment as he remembers that they aren't alone.

Tenya opens his mouth to ask a question-

"You're Yume, aren't you?" Todoroki cuts him off, and Hitoshi is half surprised the man even knows what HeroTube is.

"Ah- yes, I wanted to ask that too", Iida tacks on.

Hitoshi watches out of the corner of his eye as Midoriya grows shy and makes eye contact with Hitoshi, as if to ask, 'Should I tell them?'. Hitoshi half-shrugs-half-nods, he trusts them enough, Tenya because he's known him for a while and Todoroki because he has good vibes and oh yeah they just went through a life-threatening situation together.

Midoriya somehow understands him because he turns back to the other two and nods, a small, "Yeah, I am. Uh, please don't tell anyone..."

Tenya shakes his head, "Of course not, I wouldn't dare. Although, people know your face, no?"

"Yeah, but surprisingly not many people recognize me in public", Midoriya says, and Hitoshi snickers to himself.

Tenya nods in understanding, "I thank you for making that video on my brother, I really appreciate it."

Midoriya squints his eyes, before they widen in amazement as the recognition sinks in and he's rambling to Tenya about his quirk and his brother.

Hitoshi watches on fondly as Midoriya terrorizes the poor guy with praise and analytics.

"Ah!" Iida cuts Midoriya off before turning to Hitoshi, "Does that mean you're Editor-kun, as Yume call him?"

Hitoshi's eyes widen (in panic) but he nods hesitantly. Iida just nods back.

"Yume." Todoroki speaks up, pulling all of their attention on to him. He didn't seem to care, "Will you do a collab with me?"

What?

"What?" Midoriya says.

"On my channel, IceSeeYou."

What.

"Sure!"

WHAT.

Transcript of 'Debating My Theories ft. @yume'

By IceSeeYou | English translation by coffecat

[The video starts out with the usual cork board, but now there's a person in front of it. Green fluffy hair and a t-shirt with the word 'casual sweater' on it, the popular HeroTuber was unmistakable.]

IceSeeYou (from behind the camera): Hello. My name is IceSeeYou

[A pause, Yume blushes on screen.]

Yume: And I'm Yume! Uh- Hello!

IceSeeYou: *hums* I'm sure you've seen him trending, especially recently.

[Yume pouts]

Yume: And I stand by that video!

???: Yeah, until you get murdered in a dark alley somewhere by a Stain stan. Stai-ne?... Stainiac?

IceSeeYou: Ah yes, I'm also joined by the infamous Editor-kun--

Editor-kun: It's coffecat, please-

IceSeeYou: --as Yume fans would know. Today, Yume will try to debunk my theories.

Editor-kun: While I laugh my ass off.

IceSeeYou: You are welcome to. Laugh at Yume, that is, as my theories are the best.

Yume: Uh... Sure.

IceSeeYou: Theory Debate!

[Yume pins a piece of paper to the top of the board with the words 'Theory Debate']

Yume: First theory...

[Yume goes off screen, coming back and pinning a different piece of paper to the board. It reads: Present Mic's Hair is A Minor Quirk

[Editor-kun snorts off screen, and Yume seems to be holding back a chuckle]

Yume: So! We're starting off with a mild one, Present Mic's hair is a minor quirk.

IceSeeYou: It's definitely a quirk. Have you seen that hair? It's like 2 feet tall.

[Yume pins a picture of Present Mic, another piece of paper pins beside it with the words '2 feet tall']

Yume: Is it actually 2 feet tall?

IceSeeYou: I don't know. Maybe. Everyone knows normal hair cannot stand like that.

Yume: It's probably just a lot of hair gel.

Editor-kun: So much hair gel.

IceSeeYou: Exactly, so much hair gel would be needed. How is he supposed to be ready for an emergency if he needs to ready his hair?

[Yume pins another piece of paper, 'Too much gel']

Yume: Actually, many heroes have complicated or time-consuming aspects of their hero aesthetic. Like Ingenium's armour or Thirteen's spacesuit -though the latter is more for safety reasons- and it's not that much of a problem because heroes, like other emergency services, have shifts and work times they adhere to. Of course, in a big emergency this is different, but usually when a villain shows up, the heroes on patrol are the ones who are legally responsible to do all they can.

IceSeeYou: If that's the case then his hair down should be as long, right? But no one has spotted anyone with really long blonde hair.

Yume: Could be a wig?

Editor-kun: *hisses* Ouh, don't say that.

IceSeeYou: You want to add your thoughts, Editor-kun?

Editor-kun: It's coffecat. And it's all natural, he's probably tying it up most of the time.

[Yume grabs a pen, writing something on a piece of paper before pinning it. It reads, 'Probably just very long hair']

IceSeeYou: You come to my house, you appear on my channel, and you're attacking me?

Editor-kun: Sucks to suck-- *cough*

Editor-kun: HE ELBOWED ME IN THE RIBS.

IceSeeYou: What are you talking about?

[Yume sighed, a smile playing on his lips]

[Yume startles as a piece of paper is thrown at him.]

IceSeeYou: Pin it. Now.

[Yume's face is half shocked and half terrified. He pins a picture of Ryukyu to the board, now filled with other pictures and papers like a picture of Uwabami (A Group of Conjoined Snakes with a Human Body???), Kamui Woods (Radioactive Mutated Tree!), and Pyro (Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle)]

IceSeeYou: Ryukyu is part dragon and dragons used to exist a long time ago.

[Editor-kun laughs out loud]

Yume: *sighs* Ice... I genuinely don't know what to say.

IceSeeYou: SO. You admit I win?

Yume: If I say yes can we finish the video?

IceSeeYou: Yes.

Editor-kun: Ayo what.

Yume: Then yes, I agree.

IceSeeYou: Yes.

Editor-kun: Excuse me.

The video starts abruptly, with the camera blurring as it falls onto the floor and the microphone goes crazy. "Shit-" is heard vaguely as the camera stills onto the ground.

A face peeps down from over what seems to be a counter. The face, purple eyes and a black mask, pale skin contrasting the rich purple of the hair. White irises gleam down at the camera.

Silence.

"I’m sorry I let you down. And run around. And hurt you."

Another silence.

The clip cuts off.

"Hey guys, it’s ya boi, coffecat." The screen shows a kitchen counter, with coffecat behind it. He waves to the camera. Beside him, another person waves with more enthusiasm. "Today I’m joined by Yume", he gestures to Yume.

"Hey guys!"

coffecat gives a small nod. "As a celebration for tricking 100K of you to subscribe to my channel, we’re making cookies."

Yume turns toward coffecat, "I still don’t get it. Why cookies?"

coffecat shrugs, "I was gonna make ‘em anyway, why not monetise it?"

A chuckle from behind the camera can be heard before the clip cuts.

"Today I’m following my papa’s recipe. It’s in the description if you guys wanna try it."

Yume butts in, "They’re delicious! His papa has the best cooking!"

A tsk echoes.

coffecat stares behind the camera, "Care to share your thoughts?"

A voice replies from behind the camera, somehow the eyeroll audible, "As if his cooking is great. Mine’s the *beeping* best."

"Uhuh", coffecat replies simply, before turning to Yume. The other just shakes his head, "He is genuinely good at cooking." coffecat glares to the person behind the camera, muttering what seems to be something along the lines of, "perfect bastard"-

"For ingredients you’ll need-"

The camera cuts in to a zoomed in table, showing of the ingredients one by one. Flour, butter, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, salt and of course, chocolate chips.

"I’m using chunks of baking chocolate and normal chocolate chips for fun, use whatever you have", coffecat comments as the chocolate chips are shown on screen.

It cuts back to the main camera.

"Again, the full recipe is in the description, I’ll mostly be doing this without much commentary", coffecat explains. He takes out a bowl and begins instructing Yume to add 2 cups of flour. The video speeds up, a timelapse of the ingredients being put in and mixed. Occasionally, the video would be slowed back down for the viewers to listen in to their banter.

("Yume, add two cups of flour", coffecat says as he goes to take out a fresh carton of milk as the last one finished before it could fill up a cup. Yume nods, opening the container with flour. He reaches in to scoop up some flour, but as the measuring cup leaves the opening, it’s tipped over.

Flour spills onto the counter, some going airborne and hitting Yume in the face. Yume sneezes.

coffecat turns around.

He eyes the spills, his eyebrow raising just ever so slightly to Yume, who’s staring at him in fear.

"Yume."

"…yes?"

"Bless you."

"Thank you-"

Yume is met with a face full of flour.

"Revenge."

Yume blinks, his mouth opened wide, "But it wasn’t even you that got hit-")

("What are you doing?", coffecat stares at Yume, who’s holding a teaspoon.

"I’m measuring the salt? It says 2 pinches of salt, and one pinch is eighths of a teaspoon, so two pinches would be-"

coffecat proceeds to take the salt from him and puts two pinches of salt like a normal person would.)

(coffecat cracks an egg, but the tiny pieces of eggshells fall into the bowl. He curses under his breath.

"You know Eyebags", the cameraman voices, "You *beeping* suck at this."

"Oh shut the *beep* up, sorry I’m not some mighty baker like you who can probably guess how much a cup is by sight or some *beep*."

Yume chimes in, "Oh! *beep* can do that!" The caption writes, "beep is cameraman’s name."

coffecat groans, "Of course he can!")

(Yume stands back up from putting the baking tray in the oven, "Now we wait!"

coffecat nods, placing down a towel he dried his hands with. "Wanna go play Minecraft?"

"Yes!"

"Cool, your world or mine?"

"Mine maybe? I wanna finish brewing those potions."

"Sure-"

"Ahem", the cameraman scoffs, "I’m here y’know?"

coffecat shrugs, moving to put away the flour, "And? You invited yourself over you know? How did you even know I live here?"

"Your dad sold you out."

coffecat blinks, "I’m disowning him.")

The video jumps back in to coffecat taking out the cookies from the oven, bright Ganriki Neko oven mitts on his hands. The cookies let off steam.

"It smells so good!" Yume leans in to the cookies, taking a deep breath.

coffecat nods in agreement. He walks up to the camera, grabbing it and bringing it closer to the counter. The cookies enter the frame. The chocolate oozes off, and it look tantalisingly delicious.

The camera zooms in more to the melted chocolate, "This is why we use baking chocolate-"

The camera drops off the counter abruptly, with the view blurring as it falls onto the floor and the microphone goes crazy. "Shit-" is heard vaguely as the camera stills onto the ground.

A face peeps down from over what seems to be a counter. The face, purple eyes and a black mask, pale skin contrasting the rich purple of the hair. White irises gleam down at the camera.

Silence.

"I’m sorry I let you down. And run around. And hurt you."

Another silence.

"Did you just-" "Are you *beeping*-"

"Never gonna give you up."

The clip cuts.
The camera is set back to normal. coffecat reaches down to grab a cookie, "To 100K subscribers, I guess?" he puts the cookie in his mouth and takes a bite.

He moans, "*beep* this is the best thing I’ve eaten in days."

Yume goes to take one but his hand is slapped away by coffecat.

"Mine."

Yume pouts, staring into the camera with a pleading look. It zooms in to his face with the caption "lol what a loser" appearing for a second. "Editor-kun’s being mean again", he whines, before he gets hit a pillow to the face.

"Don’t whine, *beep*", camera guy grunts, "I’ll make some for you later."

Yume brightens, "Really-"

A cookie is shoved into his mouth, shutting him up.

The camera pans to coffecat.

"Gayness averted. Cookies obtained. Bye fuckers."

Chapter Text

"OI FUCKFACE DO IT CORRECTLY!"

Hitoshi sighs into his arms as he raises his head from the table, "Could you be just a tad more quiet, you're killing my braincells."

Bakugou scoffs, "You'd have to have braincells in the first place for that to happen." He smirks.

Hitoshi furrows his eyebrows, ready to pounce when a hand lands on his shoulder, "There, there listener. Play nice,"  Pops sing-songs, placing a plate of warm cookies on the table. Hitoshi just grunts, sending a small glare to Bakugou before grumpily snatching a cookie up. Bakugou continues to smirk, that bastard.

"I'll be in the living room, ok?" Pops says before he walks out.

Giving a noncommittal grunt, Hitoshi grabs his pen again, looking over his work for the third time because where the fuck did he use the formula wrong to get -0.984 an answer when Bakugou got a solid 2. He hears Bakugou let out an odd sound, "What is it now?"

"These cookies are delicious..." Bakugou says to himself in disbelief, like his world is shattering. Hitoshi lets out a small huff, "Of course, Pops makes the best cookies."

"Well it's certainly better than yours-" Hitoshi throws his pen to Bakugou's head, which barely hits. "Shut. It." Hitoshi grunts.

Bakugou doesn't give a response.

"What?" Hitoshi says again, eye brows raised at Bakugou's blank stare.

"It's weird to hear you call him that. How'd you keep it a secret for this long?"

"Hah? Obviously I know how to keep a secret, it's a whole brand. On that note, why'd you accept this study session anyway? You know you can ignore Pops if he annoys you", Hitoshi says, looking back down at his paper. The numbers jumble in his mind.

Bakugou scoffs, "He knows I figured it out so obviously he asked me to teach your stupid ass."

Hitoshi feels a headache forming, "You-"

"Plus, who would reject an offer to go to a real pro hero's house", Bakugou mutters under his breath. Hitoshi pauses.

"You're..." Hitoshi starts, awed, "...just as much as a fanboy as Midoriya."

Bakugou burns red, "SHUT THE FUCK UP-"

"Listen up. Your final exams are starting tomorrow, with your paper exams for two days. I hope everyone has fully prepared, as I've mentioned this for weeks", Dad drawls, shooting a glance at Mina and Kaminari, who stiffs up in their seat.  Dad sighs, "After those two days, we go to the physical exams."

Tenya raises his hand, "What does the physical test entail, Aizawa-sensei?"

"That is confidential."

Tenya awkwardly lowers his hand when Dad doesn't elaborate further. Dad just nods, "Alright, dismissed."

Dad is somehow already snug in his sleeping bag the next second, but Hitoshi knows he is secretly observing the room as it clears out.

Hitoshi finds himself doing the same while waiting for his classmates to leave. He sees Kaminari giggle at something Kirishima says, sees Yaomomo type something on her phone, sees Tokoyami nod at Todoroki before stepping out.

His eyes follow to the next person, pausing on ash blond hair. Bakugou swings his bag over his shoulder, his face in that permanent scowl.

Heh. How does one have such a bitchy resting face. Hitoshi thought to himself. He watches Bakugou push in his chair before heading toward the exit door. He stops at Dad, presumably saying a short goodbye or something of the sort before continuing on his way.

Bakugou glanced at Hitoshi just as he crossed to the outside, raising an eyebrow.

Hitoshi looks away.

Midoriya-kun!!
Are you free in three days?

Nedzu-san?
I don't think so, is something wrong...?
/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\

Oh no no no!
I have a fun activity for you!
(〜￣▽￣)〜〜(￣▽￣〜)

Oh?

The video opens on a zoom in of the familiar face, before it zooms out to a more open view.

"Hey guys! Today's video is a bit different than normal, it's a vlog! Today I'm doing something very special and very exclusive, and I've gotten permission to record it and share it with you guys!"

Yume smiles at the camera. He's wearing a T-shirt with the words 'hero-suit'. He slicked his hair back slightly, and he does that 'leg-up' pose that influencers do in fit checks. "I'm rocking the crocs today", Yume says as he shows off his footwear, bright red crocs with little hero jibits.

Yume grabs the camera again, before angling it forward so the viewers can see where he's going. "Today", his voice rings from behind the camera, "I'm heading to UA! I've been personally invited by the principal for something very special.

The footage speeds up as he walks all the way to UA, slowing down once he reaches the large gates. "We're here!" He cheers, pressing the small doorbell.

A voice comes out of the speaker, "Ah- Yume-kun! Come in! Come in!"

The gate opens as Yume steps in. He seems to know where he's going, judging by his confident steps. "I'm heading towards Arena Theta, which is where our exciting event is occurring!"

Yume arrives at said arena in no time. For the first time, his steps seem hesitant as he enters.

"*beep*" a voice greets as a figure appears. It appears to be an adult male, but his whole silhouette is blurred.

"Oh-! I'm um- recording right now."

The blurred figure pauses, "I see... I assume, ehum, Editor-kun is able to blur me out?"

"I'm sure he can!"

The figure nods, "Ok, follow me."

Yume follows the blurred figure, entering a room with monitors. On each monitor, a different terrain could be seen.

The camera then changes to face Yume, who's looking beyond the camera at someone else. "Ah! Hi Nedzu-san!"

Suddenly a white furred creature appears over Yume's shoulder, giving a small wave at the camera. The creature seemed to be some sort of chimera, a mix of a mouse? And maybe a bear?

"Hello, viewers!" Nedzu greets to the camera. "I've invited Young Yume here to observe on the Hero Courses Examination!"

Yume looks at the screen, "Yup! Nedzu-san here has invited me to be a spectator and analyse them! Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show you their actual test, because y'know, revealing weaknesses and so; but I am going to force Editor-kun to montage my reactions!"

In the corner, a small yellow text writes 'It is what it is :/'

"So..." Yume starts, "on to the montage!"

The video cuts to a montage of Yume's reactions to the UA hero students tests, including-

"No no no no!" Yume shouts, shaking the monitor as if it were someone's shoulder. "Don't run- Don't run- NO! USE YOUR QUIRK AHHHH-"

"Ohmygod- YES YES! You sir are a genius! The applications of using his quirk like that is so interestingwhatifheusesitforrescuethen-"

"Oh sh*beep*- They're dead."

"Is that... a matryoshka doll? In my house?"

"Oh it's All Might... why's he beating *beep* to a pulp-"

Yume grabs the camera and zooms into his eyes, "I'm tired, so bye!"

Izuku clutches his stomach, laughter escaping him uncontrollably. Kacchan lays down across from him, face red with anger as Recovery Girl glares at him to ensure he stays still.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, DEKU." Kacchan grits out, body physically vibrating from anger. Izuku continues to giggle.

"I can't believe All Might just destroyed you-" Izuku cuts himself off with another bout of laughter, "-you should've agreed to Kirishima's plan."

Kacchan glares at him. "I. Will. Beat. Your. Ass." Kacchan growls, earning a soft smack from Recovery Girl for shifting.

"What-" Izuku grins, "-like how All Might beat yours?"

Oof- If looks could kill, Izuku would be dead 5 times over.

Just as Izuku was going to say something to maybe sooth Kacchan's blood-lust, the door slides open, a figure in a yellow suit walking in. "Young Bakugou-" the figure stops as he sees Izuku, "-ah, I didn't know someone else was here. Have we met before?"

Izuku doesn't give an immediate response, giving a once over to All Might- Yagi. Izuku blinks, "Ah, yes. With uh- Nedzu-san in his office."

All Mi- Yagi nods, a bit lost before he looks towards Kacchan. "I would like a private chat with Young Bakugou here, would you mind?"

Izuku sends a short glance to Kacchan, who seems a tad confused. "Not at all", Izuku mumbles as he walks out of the room.

For some reason, he feels like he ruined some kind of moment.

Midoriya-kun!
Your analysis of the hero students are remarkable! (^・ω・^ )
