Katsuki knew this kid when he was 4, they would play and pretend to be heroes almost daily. He remembered the boys green fluffy curls and sparkling round eyes and his insistence to follow him. At the time it was annoying, at the time he was a stupid kid who didnāt realize how happy he was. He teased the boy and nicknamed him Deku.
Then the boy with green hair and eyes introduced his dad. Katsuki immediately hated the man, and he made a poor impression by kicking him in the shin when he grabbed Deku by the arm. The father told Izuku at the end of their hang out he didnāt like Katsuki and they were going to have to limit their visits.
The few times they hung up from the point on Katsuki realized the green eyes were sad, he mentioned lightly how his dad knew best and getting in trouble was the worst and time outs were so cold and dark. The boy told him he wasnāt allowed to play heroes anymore. Deku mentioned his father was at the limit, and if his quirk didnāt show up soon heād be in big trouble. They pretended that day that Deku had found his quirk. He looked at the green eyes and grinned, āIāll bet itāll come tomorrow.ā Deku smiled sadly, ātomorrow would be too late.ā
That was the last time he saw Deku. After a week of unexplained absence their teacher called the police. And Izuku Midoriya became a missing person.
Looking back into his memories Katsuki realized Izuku had enormous bruises and scars under his shirt and that his fathers presence immediately petrified Izuku making him quiet and obedient. He had no evidence and the police officer who did listen to a 5 year old didnāt find Deku. Katsuki grew up and made a promise. Even when all the heroes gave up on finding Izuku, he looked into the stars and promised to find Izuku as his first task as a Prohero. There was no option for failure.
Then he was kidnapped by the league and met all for one face to face. He called him a little hero. Mocking him. But the name felt like a memory. Izukuās father had said it at one time with just as much loathing. All for one was the horrible man he kicked in the shins, the one who took his Deku.
That day Katsuki had a quirk awakening. But all for one had Escaped.
He trained and studied under Aizawa and All Might. Learning quickly he was no match in skill. But would steal the lost boy just as AFO did. Quietly and while no one was looking. They proceeded with care. Everything fell together when they found a recording of a boy in a dirty shirt looking out a window his hair filled with dirty ratty and long with just a hint of green at the roots.
Katsuki with his first day on the job as a prohero faked an injury. Hundreds of heroes raided a nomu lab the following week and Katsuki slipped into the building and and found Deku. He was small, clearly malnourished, pale and shivering. Izuku saw him and tried to run but his foot was chained to the ground. Katsuki knelt and he used that old nickname that fit like an old glove and a small flicker of recognition sparkled in Izukuās eyes. Izuku took his hand and finally after all those years.
Katsuki had found Izuku and took him home.
