Chapter Text

Izuku has always been different from his peers. By the time he was 12 months old he was already on his feet running. At 18 months old he was speaking full sentences completely skipping first words. Then when he reached 2 and a half he was questioning the world around him “Mom when can i wear the pretty dresses”, “Mom can you make my face pretty too”, “Mom can you make my hair like yours”, and Inko would always answer “Honey if you wanted to wear one you could've just asked, lets go pick out a nice one for you”, “ Oh baby your face is already pretty but if you want to put on some makeup we can do that, just only some light stuff”, “well Izuku your hair is too short right now but you can grow it out so we can match if you want” she wasn't going to restrict her kid, he was 2 and what does it matter what he wants. 

 

Due to all his quick developments everyone including Inko assumed he had a mutation based intelligence quirk so when just a few days before his 4th birthday izuku came running to her showing off a tiny flame he had ‘pulled’ from a lit candle in the living room, of course she was confused and immediately took him to the doctor -after he changed into his favorite red dress that matched his shoes because he doesn't go anywhere not looking his best- once they got to the doctor she explained what happened and little Izuku got sent back for some test. Inko was a little concerned with how long this was taking till she got called back into a room where Izuku was waiting with Dr. Tsubasa

 

After Inko sat down, Dr. Tsubasa began to explain. “I apologize for the long wait Mrs Midoriya, it's just your son’s quirk was a little difficult but we got it figured out”. Inko was a little confused on what he meant by a little difficult but it's best to listen and learn. “Based on what you came to us with, we assumed he had a simple form of pyrokinesis. But during testing your son pulled the candle to himself instead of just the fire” Oh my “Your son has an extreme case of generational quirk evolution. Not only does his evolved form of your ‘Pull’ allow him to control fire as well, but it's also omnidirectional making it an extremely powerful form of telekinesis. He also has residual mutations from his fathers quirk meaning a much higher than average body temperature of 43°C making a fever 46°C but his chart say he's had that since birth, he also has extremely fire resistant skin that should allow him to resist temperatures around the 1100°C range but that's just based on observation we didn't try to burn your son.” thats… that's a lot.

 

While Dr. Tsubasa was explaining Izuku was practically vibrating in his set, and now that he's done Izuku cant hold it in anymore “Mom Mom Mom i can be a hero i can be strong just like Kacchan and All Might, I can save people mom!”. Izuku was yelling and crying tears of joy and no matter the reason, if Izuku is crying. Inko will be right behind him “Yes, Yes you can baby, you can be a hero. You'll be the best”. She said while pulling Izuku into a hug. 

 

After registering his quirk they left the hospital to go get ice cream and the ingredients for katsudon so they could have a little celebration just the two of them, before Izuku's birthday and quirk celebration (a two in one deal for izuku). Inko informed Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugou of Izuku's quirk arrival and that they'd have the celebration on Izuku's birthday in 2 days and to not tell Katsuki because Izuku wanted it to be a surprise. 

 


 

 

 Izuku's birthday came around and everyone (being Izuku, Inko, and the Bakugous) were having a great time. Izuku opened his presents, he had gotten a few pieces of All Might merch, and a set of weights ranging from 5 pounds then staking all the way up to 80. Inko was a little confused by the weights because Izuku is only 4 but Mitsuki explained that they are so Izuku can start training his quirk without having to try and use the furniture around the house (like he has been for the past 2 days). 

 

After presents they had cake and while everyone was at the table Inko told Izuku that he could tell about his quirk which he did, but only to Katsuki. “ Kacchan, I got my quirk, look” then Izuku reached out his hand and took Katsuki’s fork from the table and sent it over to the sink. This is about when hell broke loose. 

 

“Finally Izuku, took you long enough. Now we can be the best hero duo. As long as you stop with that stupid girly shit” as soon as the final word left his mouth, a hand made full force contact with the back of his head. “Why the hell would you say that you brat, what's wrong with the stuff that Izuku likes”. Mitsuki was angry, well she always had a temper on her but Inko could tell that she was pissed and she knew why “Katsuki who told you there was anything wrong with Izuku” Inko said in the same tone she always uses, trying to get information out of him to figure out the issue.

 

“The Teachers at school, they say boys shouldn't wear dresses or have long hair” Katsuki informed them, and now Inko felt much like Mitsuki does but unlike her she had to keep it together and talk with the boy. She knows Katsuki doesn't listen to his mother, but he's all too eager to learn from ‘auntie Inko’ so she had to get this across to him properly. She turned to Masaru “How about you take Izuku to his room and help him get his weights set up” he got up and grabbed the box with the weights in them and asked Izu to follow him so they could set them up, of course Izuku gladly followed him. Then she turned to Katsuki.

 

“Well Katsuki your teachers are dead wrong and shouldnt say things like that about Izuku and if anyone ever does then you need to tell one of us ok. I need you to defend Izuku from mean people because that's what people who say things like that are, mean, bad people who want to hurt Izuku” Inko had looked away at some point and when she looked back at Katsuki he looked like he was about to cry. “So I hurt izuchan with what I said too? Am I a bad person too?” He had always been emotional when it came to Izuku, they have been like brothers since birth and knowing he hurt Izuku would break his little heart. “Well this time no i don't think you hurt him but in the future you really could, so i need you to keep him safe for me ok, be his big brother, be his own personal hero when we aren't around, ok?” 

 

Inko is really hoping this works, neither Izuku or Katsuki are going back to that school but in the future someone needs to be there for him. “Yeah Auntie, I can do that, I'll be the best hero for Izuku, I'll be his favorite, better than All Might and beat up anyone who hurts him.” Well that's a little more than she was looking for but it will do, she just hopes that he doesn't actually hurt anyone. “Thank you Kats, how about you help Izu and your dad set things up?” He was out of his chair faster then she thought possible and running down the hall to Izukus room when she finished, she just chuckled to herself and turned to Mitsuki once she heard the bedroom door shut “They are not staying in that school, either of them” she said more serious then she'd been all night “Hey i'm not arguing with you i'll find a place for the brats and quality check them myself”. She's always got my back “ Thank you Mits, that would really help” Inko sighed and got up to grab a bottle of wine and 2 cups so they could have a drink and talk, Izuku has not finished showing his quirk so they'll have plenty of time before the Bakugous have to go home. 

Notes:

This is my first time writing something that's not for school, I want and need feedback. there will be questions here very often.

Ill be taking Bakugou in my own weird direction, i dont want him to be ooc but i want him to be a positive aspect of Izuku's life, someone i wish id have had in my childhood (because im projecting hard in this fic) but hes still the Bakugou we all love.

i dont want "Deku" to be a thing in this fic so i tried to start this before i think that became a nickname/insult
im not satisfied with the name for this fic, if in the future when the story is more fleshed out for you as an audience, if youd like to comment a possible name for this id really appreciate it.

speaking of names i need 1. for the name of Izukus quirk. 2. a new name for izuku (Im named after a plant im clearly not good at this)

i know this chapter is bad and short and all that but i was trying to get something out so i have the motivation to actually do this so i put this together in 2 hours after i knew what i wanted from this story anyway thanks for reading and i hope to see you again soon.
