The days were going by much quicker then Izuku had anticipated trash had been piling out of the beach at a increasing pace, ever since Nana had told him to keep one for all activated he had been actively doing so when he can, not during class of course as the effects of it were quite noticeable and he didn't want to disrupt the class or have any eyes on him... the brief moment in class immediately flashing in his mind again. 

"it's not like he likes me... he maybe just thought I was amusing... he always stared at me with annoyance rather then like... and i don't even like him! He really is brash and snaps easily... sure hes strong and honest... and the way he looks at me..." His muttered stopped as he saw Katsuki staring at him with a small smile in his memory... "Oh god." He muttered as his face went red at the thought. "I like Kacchan." Nana and the rest of the vestiges who were watching the entire mutter session snorted. "And 10 points to Izuku Midoriya~" Daigoro shouted while the others giggled away while Izuku metaphorically shut the blinds on them with a curtain. 

"No more mind theatre for you lot." Izuku muttered hearing a loud chorus of groans. He walked through the streets Musutafu, the lights were slowly turning on as the night was coming all around, Izuku had been going to Gran Torino's place as often as he could, although he was grateful to the man teaching him how to fight and move, he still was getting batted around like a insect. He gave a small smile as he thought of him before hearing a loud smack as he walked past a Alley way. Izuku's eyes darted to it and saw a young boy, a heteromorph who was being beaten to the ground. Izuku immediately felt his quirks activate as he ran towards them. 

"How do you like that boy!" Just as the fist was about to hit the boy, a flash of lightning flashed through as the boy was immediately gone from their grasp, a trail of pink smoke fogging up their view before once again a line of green lighting shot through them and they fell to the ground. The boy who was startled by being picked up again was put down just as quickly next to the light. "Go home little one." He heard a soft voice before it was gone... The lizard boy looked left and right but no sign, only a few people saw him and went to check if he was okay... only for the boy to point at the thugs that had hurt him...

Izuku tilted his head watching from a far, his eyes glowing behind his hood then heard police sirens and he couldn't help the small smile as he walked home with a momentary pause of glee at saving someone. Nana quietly appeared next to him and gave him a quick look over. "Your speed was excellent, but don't make it a habit to be a vigilante Izuku." she reprimanded which made him a little solum. However he was surprised that Kudo and Bruce were to his rescue. "Come now Seventh, he did something anyone should do, put the scum in their place." Kudo  stated while She sighed and shrugged. "Don't get me wrong I don't blame him for standing up for a kid, I won't ever tell him to not do that..." 

As Izuku was listening to the conversation a soft fabric wrapped around his wrist and Izuku froze. "That's the reason as to why he shouldn't do what he did... someone else was going to handle it." Izuku's eyes followed up the clothe and his eyes widened in stars. "Woah!" He immediately went into fan boy mode seeing the yellow goggles and the floating hair. "Erasure head! Oh my gosh! Can I please have your autograph!?" He asked as he pulled out a notebook and ran TOWARDS the hero that had him caught by the hand.

"Excuse me?" The man was bewildered by the speed the kid had possessed without a use of a quirk and the fact he managed to get his book and pen out so quickly as well. "You're one of my favorites sir! I have so many questions! Does your quirk work against multiple targets if they are in your field of view?? Or does it work with mirrors?? Could you put rear view mirrors on your goggles and you can hit the people from behind you if they do? Oh the possibilities of telekinesis quirks with you in espionage missions!" Erasure could only back up from the kid who had picked him apart with the speed of a pro. 

"Kid, your being taken in." Izuku blinked and looked down at his arm and looked back up. "For what?" He asked curiously as Erasure blinked and his quirk was gone, his hair fell down and Izuku felt all the quirks come back. "For illegal quirk usage?" Izuku hummed and shook his head. "But the kid was being hurt. It's not my fault you were slower then me." Izuku quipped while Erasure's scarf tightened around his arm. "Hey! Hey! I'm just kidding! I didn't plan on it! My legs just moved." Erasure stared at the kid who had his hands up in a plea but he couldn't help the small smirk on his face as he saw this. "Whatever kid." The scarf loosened on him and he looked up curiously. "Since it's your first offense I won't give you hell..." Izuku muttered. "Well technically it was second but that was a different issue..." 

Erasure's forehead gained a tick mark. "What was that." Izuku squeaked. "Nothing Erasure head sir!" The scarf finally got removed from his hand and he sighed in relief before he realized that his pen was in Erasure heads hand and scrawled a small section of his notebook. "Erasure head! Thank you!" Izuku swooned as the underground hero walked back in the direction where the alley way was. "Whatever problem child." Izuku looked on and sighed in relief as the underground hero walked away from him. "That was close." the boy muttered as he started to jog home, his mind a whirl before he  gave a small smile at his notebook, clutching it to his chest. "Atleast I got his autograph~" 

...

The next day Izuku was jittery as he shuffled his feet together, a door in front of him... a door he remembered from his childhood days, his hands got really clammed up as he slowly brought his hand up into a fist to knock on the door... "I'm coming! I'm coming." a womans voice echoed before the door opened and ash blond hair was the first thing he saw. "Who is-" She paused as she stared at him. "Hi Aunty Mitsuki..." Izuku stuttered while she smiled brightly. "OH Izu! Look at you! It's been so many years. Come in come in!" She was as warm as he had remembered, slowly walking in he gave a small bow. "Thank you..." He muttered looking around the hall as he did before Mitsuki looked at him with a smile.

"Are you here for the brat?" Izuku's face flushed and stuttered. "Y-yes... I-i was gonna a-ask if he wants t-to train... with me." Mitsuki blinked as he smiled slightly. "I got my quirk..." He said as she looked on with a bright eyes. "Really? That's awesome Izu! Late bloomers are so rare! Even rarer at your age." Izuku nodded his head knowing about that... but also knowing he was lying to his childhoods friends mother... "OY brat! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE." Izuku jumped but felt a sense of nostalgia as he could hear him yell back. "WHAT IS IT OLD HAG!" He heard the door open while Mitsuki shouted back. "YOU HAVE A VISITOR." 

Katsuki walked to the stairs grumbling as he was going down the stairs he paused seeing Izuku at the bottom of the stairs at the door. "Hi Kacchan.." He started walking down, his normal scowl on his face. "Tch... Hag he'll be in my room." he turned back around and started walking up before looking back at Izuku who quickly got the message to follow after him. "Izu~ I'll be bringing you snacks! Don't worry you don't have to share with the brat." Katsuki's hand popped dangerously. "WHAT YOU SAY HAG?!" She shouted back. "NO EXPLOSIONS IN THE HOUSE BRAT!" Izuku couldn't help the small smile on his face at the reminiscing nostalgia that filled him. 

Katsuki held open his door while Izuku snuck in, the blond eyes trailed on him for a moment before he shut the door. It was unusually quiet as Izuku looked at the shelves that were in Katsuki's room. Small amount of merchandise littered them before he gave a small smile at one of them... it was a all might figure that Izuku and Katsuki had been obsessed with. He lightly touched it before he turned and gave a small smile towards the blond. "You still have it?" The blond looked at the figure and gave a shrug. "What do you want nerd..." He muttered while Izuku removed his hand and looked at the blond. "You told me to catch up... So I'm trying." Katsuki nodded, he had noticed how much faster and stronger Izuku had been getting in their physical class.

"Good...  was that all you had to say?" He asked while he shook his head. "I want to catch up with you... but only with you... So can I train with you?" Izuku asked calmly which the blond's eyes faltered his normal scowl and softened. "How do you know i've been training." Izuku snorted and shook his head. "Because you're you." The teen sat down on the desk chair and looked on with a small glance up at the ceiling. "I also wanted to tell you the truth... before you answer." Katsuki's eyes narrowed at that and he looked a little bewildered at what that could mean.

"My quirk... well." Izuku muttered as he scratched his head. Nana appearing next to him. "Izuku, you think this is fine? I trust your judgement, it's good to have someone in your corner but you do have us." Nana warned while he gave her a short nod. "My quirk was given to me... by a ghost." Katsuki blinked and Nana gave a small facepalm as he said this. "Well that's one way to say it." She muttered into her hand while Izuku gave Katsuki a short look, the wheels in his head turning. "What." Katsuki looked annoyed and bewildered.

"Yeah that was kinda my reaction as well..." Izuku muttered and looked at Nana for a brief moment before looking back to Katsuki. "It's a quirk that can be transfered from person to person... and I am the ninth person to inherit it..." Izuku trailed off. "The way I got it was a little different though..." He started to explain the entire story, Katsuki was  just silently sitting on the bed listening to the entire story... One for all, All for one... "The quirk... didn't like what their current user was doing... So the seventh user of the quirk who was watching gave it to me... which was when the sludge incident happened..." Izuku muttered and sighed. 

"If this is such a big secret... why tell me." Katsuki muttered while he looked up and gave a small smile at him. "Because I trust you... it's also weird to talk to seven dead ghosts without a lot of people knowing about it..." he admitted with a small scratch to his head while the blond scoffed, he leaned back looking up at the ceiling and shrugged. "So you are needing help training your quirks... I guess having seven boosted quirks would be hell to handle." Nodding his head, "It was a shock when we flew together away from the sludge villain... even more so a shock there was six other quirks." Katsuki sighed and sat up. "Fine. Only cause you blabbed your mouth about your secret." 

The green haired teen smiled brightly, a feeling of hope echoed in his chest. "Really! I'm glad!" He closed his eyes, a bit of tears in his eyes which made Katsuki look at him with a look he couldn't quite decipher. "Whatever De-" He paused and looked a little conflicted and muttered. "Nerd." Izuku blinked and tilted his head. "You can call me Deku still... it'd be weird if ya stopped." He swore he saw the blond flinch at his words but chose to ignore it. "Or Izuku is also fine..." Trailing off Katsuki could only stare at him as if he grew a second head. 

"Whatever... Come on." Katsuki grabbed the door and opened it, Mitsuki was outside the door with a tray of snacks. "Hag we're leaving." Izuku walked after him. "Kacchan! Where are we going!" He asked while looking back at Mitsuki and gave her a wave. "Damn brat... well atleast we will see Izu some more. Such a sweet kid."

With the two boys Katsuki had started to walk to a abandoned dump and Izuku could only snort, he guessed the best place for any aspiring hero is literally in the trash. He shook his head and looked back at Katsuki in the middle of a cleared out area. "Is this where you train?" He had to ask to confirm and the blond nodded his head. "The dump said that I could go nuts blowing shit up in here." Izuku nodded before Katsuki's hands ignited. "Alright, Show me what you got." 

He blinked before looking around. "You mean... we fight?" Izuku asked cautiously while the blond nodded. "That's what I mean. If you want to catch up then you gotta see where your goal is." He smiled softly at that and nodded, a look of determination going over his face as he went into a stance, Nana looked at his stance and gave a short nod. While Kudo stated. "Remember, don't over do your quirks." Shaking his arms he slowly felt one for all pressing underneath his skin, a measly one percent but the lightning that was channeling up his arms made Katsuki watch it briefly before smirking dangerously. 

"Ready nerd?" Izuku grinned and nodded, a plum of pink smoke exploded out of Izuku while Katsuki's eyes widened in surprise, a line of lightning shot towards him and Katsuki fell down and Izuku's eyes widened as he managed to dodge the hit, the blond clenched his fist and shot up to hit him but Izuku saw it coming and grabbed it with his momentum and threw him over his shoulder. Katsuki was in the air as he held up his hands and the quirk exploded out of his hand and he spun, a kick towards Izuku who blocked it with his arm. 

Izuku was very confused as he saw the explosion coming right for his face... but danger sense didn't go off. back pedaling away from the explosion it narrowly missed Izuku's face. Looking onwards at Katsuki with a huff Izuku shook off the dust that had built up from the explosions around him. "Come on Nerd! More!" Katsuki shouted and Izuku felt a small chill up his spine as he said this. Izuku leaned forward and sprinted forward. Katsuki who was ready for this placed both hands in front of him and large explosions shot towards the green haired teen. Izuku jumped and floated above it, his view was obstructed by all the smoke... before he heard explosions from above, looking up the blond had managed to propel himself up from the smoke and appeared above him, the blond grabbed him and spun him with a explosion and threw him down to the ground before landing above him, his hand directly on Izuku's face...

"I win..." Katsuki huffed, he had been out of breath from the scuffle while Izuku looked up at him with wide eyes... Katsuki was straddling him, his foot pressing his arm on the ground so he couldn't move... He felt a bit of nitroglycerin drip on his face and he gave a small huff. "Yeah... you win." Izuku said breathlessly. Katsuki slowly stood up off of him while Izuku looked up trying to decipher Katsuki... "You held back." Izuku muttered while the blond looked at him in a odd look. "Excuse me?" The green haired teen muttered. "My danger sense didn't go off once... " Izuku muttered while the blond huffed and sat down next to him.

"I didn't hold back... your quirk must be broken." Hikage had appeared in front of Izuku momentarily.  "It's not because he held back, it's that you view him as a friend and he wasn't aiming to kill you." Izuku nodded his head. "I see..." Katsuki looked at him briefly before looking back forward. "You weren't shit." The blond said simply as he leaned against Izuku, making sure neither of them fell over from exhaustion. "Yeah?" Izuku asked... the physical touch made his heart beat faster. 

"High praise from Kacchan." The blond snorted and shook his head. "It just means I need to train harder to get away from you." The snarky comment made Izuku smile and chuckle shyly. "Well don't worry... you won't be too far away without my say..." They couldn't see each others face.. but a small smile was plastered on both of them as they shot comments back and forth...
