I walk through the chilling night, trying to catch up with my blond haired friend. I follow through unfamiliar streets, squinting through the darkness with flickering lights from the street lights, making it harder to see. "Where the hell is that guy going? At midnight no less!" 

I stop myself, is something wrong with him. His smile, seemed fake back at my house. As if he was trying to hide something. I think back what he said earlier when I saw him crying on the grass. 

That's when he starts to break into sobs it was almost hard to understand him. "She's dead!! The only person who cared about me torn away from my life!!"

My eyes widened. "W-What!!"

I sighed, remembering my reaction to his sudden sadness. 

He kept this sadness away from everyone in class, covering it up with a smile...

I put a hand on his shoulder. "You think she's the only person who cared about you..."

He doesn't answer me, his face filled with tears.

"You have us!! Your friends that care about you... nobody knows your pain because you cover it with a smile.. but some people can see past that.. so why even bother?"

Toshinori smiles
"Because.... Nana told me to smile.. because no matter how scary the situation you need to put on smile to show that you're okay... smiles are what makes you the strongest.."

I look at him in disbelief but also in anger "What kind of bullshit is that!!"

And instead of comforting the poor bastard, I lashed out my own anger against him. I called him foolish, for keeping such a smile on his face, despite his wretched sadness. 

His words reminded me of me, when I was so much younger. 

And much more foolish....

I brush a hand through my hair, but I still shouldn't have talked to him like that. I look down at the city ground, lonely without my friends. I never had such friends ever since I came to UA, I almost break down crying, but keep the tears in my eyes. I need to find him, because he's my friend. 

I suddenly hear a sharp crash, between the tall buildings that reveal a dark alleyway. I rush to the harsh sound, is that who I think it is? 

I grab onto my scarf, ready to face whatever is headed towards me, but I remember this is my first do or die situation. I'm only a 15 year old high school student, there is no way I can pull off something like this. 

I tighten my grip on my scarf, who cares? My friend's in there and I have to help them. 

Ugh, when have I ever said that to myself. It's so cringy saying that out loud. 

I stand up straighter and walk through the jaws of danger. (Do you really have describe it like that author? Yes bish) 

I look up to see the familiar blondie haired smiling friend, and to see him on the ground, groaning in pain. Blood splattering onto the ground that dripped off the side of his head. 

Toshinori looks up at me, my shocked face illuminating from the moonlight. "...Aizawa?" is the only thing he manages to croak out. The strongest person in UA, the most brightest one who was bound to be ranked the number one hero was one the ground bloody and bruised. 

And I start to panic, who would be this strong to leave such a student so broken. And if I was to fight him for my friend's safety... There was no chance that I could ever succeed. 

"Well, would you look at that Toshinori." A too familiar voice answers from the darkness. "Your friend has come, to save you?" I look up to see the same man from the chilly fall festival, on the same day I found out all about him. 

All for one... was what he called him. 

An evil man with no limit to all the quirks he had stolen. "Oh? You're the boy with red eyes, the one that can cancel all my attacks with only one look." All for one tilts his head to the side as if he had just remembered something. "Oh now I remember! You're their son, the son of the parents that I killed."

My hands clench into a fist, my theory of my parent's killer was actually correct. Slipping my scarf loose letting it float in the air. "So you really were their killer." I bite my lip, stopping myself from breaking down while my eyes couldn't break the stare I had on him, from the boiling anger I felt. "I'm going to make you pay back what you did to them, but ten times worse." 

Toshinori grips me by the arm, with a weak hold. "W-Wait." 

I look back at him a dark expression on my face only displaying hatred and with the intent to kill. And he was one that saw through my desires. Knowing that the desire to kill was about to be satisfied by killing the man in front of us.v

"No..." he whispered, but I shove his grip away from my arm. "AIZAWA!!" 

But I ignore the calls of my name and focus on the enemy in front of me. "Today, I will avenge my parents. Today will be the day you die." 

One for all laughs viewing my stance as some kind of joke. Of course, how could a first year in high school bring down a man who carried many quirks. "This will be interesting," Both of his hands light up with different quirks. "Now, how would you like to die? By your mother are father's quirk?" 

"Stop trying to provoke me!!" I take my scarf throwing it towards him, in response he sends my mother's fire towards me. The flame is soon distinguished from my quirk, my eyes growing sharp to hold my stare on him. 

My scarf wraps around his leg and pulls him to the ground causing him to groan in response. "AGH!!" And when he tries to get up, I kick him in the chest, making him fly through the alleyway and hit the wall. As he finally fell down, slumped against the brick wall. 

I walk towards him, my eyes start to water from holding my stare for this long, but I ignore the pain because the only thing I can focus on is this deranged killer. "It's over..." I put my hand around his neck, thinking back to my parent's death. The rage overflowing, coursing through my veins. "This is for you...." 

"NO!!" A yell comes from behind me and my grip loosens on his neck as I look behind me. And I see Toshinori running up to me his fist held high. Throwing me a punch making hit the ground. 

My cheek stinged, it was going to leave a bruise for sure. Did he use his quirk on me? I look back at him, staring at him in anger. Why the hell would he do that? 

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I WAS SO-"

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Toshinori says to me instead, tears bubbling up in his eyes. "How could you be driven to do such a thing!?" 

"HE KILLED MY PARENTS!!"

"AND HE KILLED MY HERO!!" He yells back, the tears that were caught in his eyes finally flowing down. "I mourn for my loses as you did, but what is it going to change if we kill this bastard?" 

I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out. 

Toshinori sighs, "I wanted to kill him too. I was so mad about Nana that I was driven through my feelings to do such an unhero like deed." He looks up to me, his look softened. "But then I thought about you. How you would react, what you would say if I had done it. And I stopped myself..." 

Toshinori smiles softly, despite what I did and despite who I was "Aizawa, you were the one who made me a hero." 

I felt a soft touch, a glimmer of hope. A feeling that I almost asked myself, what was wrong with me? And it was because of this one man in front of me. But he was wrong. 

It wasn't I that made him a hero, but he who made me a hero. 

However, that bright moment only lasted for a little while. 

FWOOSHHH 

An explosion ripped through the air, causing us to fall back from the impact. My head hits the ground and I groan, but still have the energy to look up. 

I look up to see One for all standing up, holding his side from my attack. He puts a hand up and a dark purple like void opens up through the wall. "Portals, I stole it from some beggar quite a shame to know what he could've done with it, had not he been drunk half the time." He turns back to us, almost like he was admiring the artwork he had drawn. "This was fun, but I need to get healed up." He turns to me especially, "Don't worry we'll meet again red eyes." 

The bright moment that happened just  few seconds ago was already replaced by the dark feeling I felt just listening to his disgusting words. "RAGHHH!!" I roared, running up to the man, holding my fist ready to hit the bastard. 

But I was too late, he stepped into the void and it closed up, making me hit the brick wall instead. My knuckles bleed from the impact, but I don't care, in fact I slam it again in frustration. 

"Aizawa!!" Toshinori runs up to me, he takes my hand to see my knuckles bleeding and bruised. "Ah!! Your hand is bleeding, come on let's get back home and get you-" 

I shove his grip off of me, "Don't" 

"Aizawa?" 

"I SAID DON'T" I roar back, meeting his startled stare. The only thing I felt was madness, the opportunity I had to end it all! The nightmares, the regrets, the vengeance I've been waiting for!!

I look back at the blond hero, and he took it away from me. "If there's something wrong we can talk about it, I'm here for you-" 

"BULLSHIT!!" I yelled back, my chest heaves from my anger. "Don't follow me.." 

"Aizawa..." 

"I SAID DON'T FOLLOW ME!!" I turn back, he seemed farther away this time. "Don't talk to me!! Don't follow me!! And I sure as hell don't want you as my friend!!" my words cutting through him like a dagger through his heart. 

He doesn't even know what to do, the only thing he does is say 

"Please..." 

I ignore it. 

All I do is walk off, as the only person who knows what he's been through and understands what it's like. But hell... 

I hate it.
