"Dreams crushed by THE All Might himself..."
Midoriya sighed, eyes glued on the ground while he kept walking.

"And then.. offered to be trained by him..? On the same day too.."
He furrows his eyebrows, trying to make sense of his situation.

"Today is really.. strange.."
His thoughts continued, a slight giddy feeling present within him.

"I even cried in front of him- I got emotional when he told me the words I've longed to hear..."
He sniffled, wiping and tears that threatened to fall again.

It's overwhelming to him.
He's not even able to think straight, especially during the Villain attack where his legs moved on their own.

"You looked like you needed saving..!"

His own voice echoed in his head.
Is that why All Might is convinced he can be a hero?

A hero who will go through any danger to save someone-

"MIDORIYA!!"
A familiar voice called out to him, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Y-You two-"

Then a loud bonk could be heard.

Midoriya felt a hard hit on the top of his head. His hands fly up and cover the top of his head as he winces in pain.

"O-Ow!"
Was all he could muster up.

The hit was from the acquaintance whom he has never really asked for his name-

"Don't run off into danger like that! BOTH OF YOU!"
He said before pinching (Y/n).

"OW OW OW OW IM SORRY!!"
(Y/n) yells out in pain, having no escape since he's their only walking support.

"Cats have 9 lives but I sure as hell don't want you losing ANY OF THEM!"

"WHAT ARE YOU MY MOM?"

"Anyways Midoriya, how're you feeling?.."
He said while turning to Midoriya, immediately changing his tone.

"HEY DONT IGNORE ME?"

"I'm.. alright..."
Midoriya said with a sweat, also ignoring the whining (y/n).

"Not hurt?"

"N..No"
"Except maybe mentally since All Might..-"

"Good because this isn't my route home, I need you to make sure (Y/n) gets home safely."
He said while passing (Y/n) over very easily.

"I will be just fine- no I won't-"
(Y/n) said while attempting to stand on their own before falling over.

Having Midoriya catch them and slinging their arm over his shoulders.

"See?"

"Yes I see... I will..."
Midoriya said with a slight smile.

"Great. I'm relieved."
He said with a smile before waving at them.

"Well. I'll see you two tomorrow at school."

"Mhm! See you!"
He replied while waving the acquaintance off.

Still feeling guilty for not knowing his name.
At the same time it feels like it's a little too late to ask for his name.

Midoriya sighs it off, then both (Y/n) and Midoriya start taking their usual route home.

"Now I feel bad."
(Y/n) said, guilt absolutely evident in their voice while the both of them walk slowly.

"... hm? Why is that..?"
Midoriya asked curiously with his head tilted to the side.

"You're helping me a lot when all I've done was help you with one thing.."
They sighed, both of them recalling the incident of standing up to the known as terrifying, Bakugou.

"It's no issue really, you are my friend afterall, (L/n)!-"

"Shh shh I'm thinking of payment that doesn't require money."
(Y/n) shushed him abruptly while he tries to interrupt.

"N-No! It's fine really I-"

"How about I share the quirk side affects you wanted so much?-"

"I will accept that payment graciously."
He said quickly, completely forgetting anything that bothered him.

Notebook out and ready as if on cue, already listening intently. It made them let out a soft chuckle. It was rather cu

"Ahem. Okay. So here it goes.."

(Y/n) started explaining everything they were sure of at the moment, while Midoriya listens carefully, writing down every detail onto his trusty notebook.

Midoriya's Notebook

Name: (F/n)(L/n)

Quirk: Feline related

Quirk type: Transformation

--quirk allows them to transform any part of the body into any feline species.

--Doing that for more than an hour will make that certain body part in pain lasting for a long period of time.

--the user can also transform their whole body into one feline or even a combination of 2.

--Feline combinations consisting more than 3 can have certain risks due to how overwhelming the amount of combinations can be.

--If combos consisting up to 3 felines last over 30 minutes the user will black out without knowing when will they wake up.

--They also has some permanent features which are their (h/c) ears and tail but they can transform them into normal human ears and hold back the tail. (For some reason they do that)

--Because of this quirk the user has some feline-like abilities.
Examples : night-vision, sense of smell, better hearing and more balance without even activating the quirk.

--Their costume consists of :

•stretchable gloves
for their hands to transform easily, claws can even go through the gloves because of the holes.

•easy-to-remove shoes
So they could remove them easily because they need to be bare-footed when they use the quirk on their legs.

•access-able pockets
To bring any extra gadgets to help.

•black mask
To cover their face, keeping it from villains to see who the user is.

•sleeveless hoodie
In a dark colour so it's easy being stealthy in a dark lair or building.
Sleeveless so that transformation won't be that restricted when on arms since that's the most used other than legs.

Hours went by but they didn't even notice it. They were enjoying the time spent together.

Midoriya liked listening to them talk especially about themselves.
Sometimes (Y/n) would even slip in a story while explaining a certain part of their quirk.

Like the time when their quirk first manifested and they kept having urges to knock cups off the table. Their Aunt had to deal with that for a good while.

Midoriya found them very entertaining, hilarious even.

He looks back towards his notes, re-examining the notes he jotted down, taking keen interest on the costume description.

"And you say you can't design. The costume is pretty well thought off!"
Midoriya beams at his notes, making (Y/n) shake their head.

"Thought off, I haven't drawn a single line of it."

"Ah. So is it the part where I help out?"

"Yeah. Or I might as well just buy a cheap clown costume and call it a day."

The both of them stare at each other before smiling, letting out some laughter from time to time while walking back together.
