ㅡ the lost one's weeping. 「 bnha villain deku 」

「 001 [REVISED] 」

"you should probably give it up."

"i'm sorry izuku..."

"what can someone like you even do? you're quirkless!"

"you want to be a hero? then take a swan dive off that window and wish for your next life that you'll be a hero!"

"deku means useless. is there even anything you can do?"

"quirkless."

"useless."

those words never fail to scar izuku in his heart and in his mind. and although these words pierce him like it was the sharpest sword ever made, he never even thought of giving up on his dream.

he held his head up high, afraid that when he looks down, those tears will just overflow and won't stop for a long time. he hides the pain with a smile, because like his hero all might, he is always smiling, with the words: "it's alright now."

he strives so hard to be like his hero, to be someday like his hero, who saves the world with a smile. but even everyone's number one hero, had woken him up with the reality.

"can a quirkless person like me be a hero someday? can i become like you even though i'm quirkless?"

the eyes all might expressed, and the sigh he gave, was already enough for him to know that all might would probably say a direct "no.", but his hope never gave up and overcame the anxiety.

but all hope was crushed when he spoke the following words. "if you want to be a hero, you can become a police officer. even though they're teased a lot, i'm sure you can help heroes. give it up, kid."

it looked like all might was trying to sugarcoat the words that spoke, "no. it is impossible for a quirkless person like you to be a hero." but failed to do so. that direct thought was what izuku processed in his mind.

"it is impossible for a quirkless person like you to be a hero." it rang on his mind all day long as he went home, walking pass the sludge incident, not even knowing it was his bully being held hostage.

this just in: all might saves yet another day! could this sludge incident be the start of more powerful villains to come?

"kacchan?" midoriya checked the news and saw that bakugo was part of the incident. he was the cause of the explosions on the place, but the sole reason was because he defended himself. and just seeing bakugo's face, his voice started ringing in midoriya's mind once again. one of many voices that gave him nightmares and sleepless nights, that pierced his heart again and again.

"you want to be a hero? then take a swan dive off the roof and wish for your next life that you'll have powers! it's quicker that way." he laughed while walking out the classroom with his friends, while midoriya was left on the floor nearest his table. he looked down and as silently as he doesn't want to let anyone know, tears slowly dropped on the floor.

he gripped on his phone while his other hand tightened its grip on his bag. he suddenly changed the route from going home to going... anywhere. just far away from everyone. he continued to run away, not even knowing where he's going. to somewhere where it just felt right.

and that's the first hour that midoriya went missing.
