The Dead Melody Maestro Deku (Story Adopted)

Chapter 2

Midoriya watched as the students went through the eight tests. He grinned as Bakugou swept through the competition. When Aizawa read out the results and said Bakugou got third, he danced a bit.

Yes. He danced a bit. Midoriya wasn't ashamed of that. It wasn't like anyone would see him.

It seem that Bakugou was a bit disappointed (read: a bit angry) but he didn't show it. Midoriya tapped the top of his head. That did the trick because Bakugou stopped tensing his muscles like a villain was going to attack at any second. Midoriya sighed. Bakugou had to stop holding himself at such a high level. He was going to get killed someday and Midoriya was not looking forward to that.

In the end, they only lost one student, a short person with grape balls as hair named Mineta. Midoriya was a bit glad at that since he spotted the short ex-student peeping at some of the girls with a rather disgusting look. It didn't help Mineta's case when he started crying and saying something about Yaoyorozu's boobs. 

-------------------------------------------

After school, Bakugou started walking and finally started talking to Midoriya.

"Did you see that overgrown caterpillar? He's fucking asleep and looks like he had the shittiest night before!"

Midoriya tapped his hand twice for yes. They had created a code of sorts, in which 'no' was one tap, 'yes' was two taps, and 'I don't know' was three taps.

"Are you going to sing at Dagobah again?"

Two taps.

"Of fucking course," Bakugou groaned, running his hand through his hair, "you always play at Dagobah. Why fucking Dagobah? Is it because it's a fucking beach?"

Three taps.

"What the fuck you mean you don't know?"

Two taps.

"That doesn't fucking make any fucking sense!"

Midoriya smiled at Bakugou's annoyance. He always liked these times, the times they could forget that Midoriya was a ghost and couldn't reach his dream. That he would stay like this forever. 

"You going to follow me to my fucking house?"

One tap.

Bakugou said, "The shitty beach?"

Two taps. 

Shrugging, Bakugou said, "Whatever floats your fucking boat."

Midoriya watched as Bakugou trudged home. He didn't really understand why Bakugou didn't like his mother, or as he called her, 'old hag'. He supposed it was because Auntie Mitsuki always hit him on the head. Yeah, that was probably it.

He floated towards the beach and looked at the sky. The sky was turning into a spectacular sight of reds, purples, and oranges. As the sun set, he summoned his piano. Midoriya didn't know the details on how this even happened but whenever he wanted to play his piano, a piano would appear. Midoriya smiled. He didn't know what he would do during the times Bakugou slept. It wasn't like he could spy on Bakugou, now could he?

Putting his fingers on the familiar keys, Midoriya pressed down on the cool keys, closed his eyes, and started singing one of his favorite piano songs by Ruth B.

"There was a time when I was alone
No where to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said Peter Pan that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely
And ever since that day
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the Woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
Run run Lost Boy, they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand and ever since that day...
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the Woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
Run run Lost Boy, they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy darlin
Even Captain Hook you are my perfect story book
Neverland I love you so, you are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy darlin
Even Captain Hook you are my perfect story book
Neverland I love you so, you are now my home sweet home
Forever a Lost Boy at last
And for always I will say
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the Woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
Run run Lost Boy, they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free."

When the last of the notes faded, he sighed and put his head in his hands as he put his elbows on the piano. He remembered the first time he had ever played a piano. The keys. The sights. The sounds. And when he put his hands on the black and white keys, he felt free. It was the reason Midoriya wanted to be a musician. Bakugou had even him a name:

Deku.

He wanted to be the Melody Maestro: Deku.

Midoriya watched the sun set into the ocean and watched the brilliant colors blend into the dark blue of the night sky. Stars twinkled above his head as he put his fingers on the keys. Even if he couldn't be alive, he would make sure to make as many people happy as he could with his quirk.

Even if he was a ghost.

Even if no one could see him.

Even if no one remembers him playing on the beach.
