Y/n is quirkless. Has been and always will be(well kinda of that is), but that's never stop her from getting strong to be a hero. Walls that seem to be unbreakable appear in her life, but that doesn't stop her. Until a wall greater than she's ever faced shows up. She begins to question if she should just give being a hero or continue to move forward and still try. As she thinks about giving up, a certain ash blonde decides to help her break down this wall alongside her.
Have you ever come across a wall in your life that came out of nowhere,
"Come on sweetheart! It's time for your doctor's appointment!"
"Coming mom!" The little girl comes running through the house to the front door. She plops down on the ground and begins to put on her shoes.
Her mom looks down at her sternly, "Y/n, what have we talked about with running through the house?"
A pout formed on the little girl's lips. "That I could get hurt and need to stop doing it." She looked up at her mom from the ground, "Sorry mama."
A soft smile made its way to her mom's mouth, "Now hurry up and put your shoes on, don't want to be late do you?" Y/n eyes sparkled and quickly went back to putting on her shoes. When she was done, she hopped up and grabbed her mom's hand jumping up and down.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
Her mom let out a small laugh, "Okay, okay. We're going, calm down." Hana grabbed her purse and keys, walking out the door with Y/n still holding her hand.
And you feel like you don't know how to get past it.
"What? But, are you sure?"
The young doctor let out a sad sigh, "I'm afraid so." He turns to the x-ray on the wall. "She has the joint in her pinky toe. I'm sorry."
Quirkless. I'm quirkless.
Tears pricked in the small four-year-olds eyes. Now what? She can't be a hero like she wanted to anymore. She wasn't going to be able to stop villains alongside her cousin when she gets older as they both promised. All her dreams got crushed in an instant. How was she going to tell him they no longer could be hero's together?
Hana walked over to the front door and opened it. "Why hello Ejirou!"
"Hi, aunt Hana!" The small black-haired boy gave her a bright smile and an excited wave. The tall woman behind him chuckled.
"He's been excited to come over all day." She spoke in her son's defense as she watched him quickly take off his shoes so he could go find his cousin.
Hana let out a small laugh and moved aside for her sister to come in. "What can you say? Those two are two peas in a pod." Akari(this Kirishima's mom's name for the story) walked in to set down her things and to take off her shoes.
She then turned to her sister with a sad face, "She's really quirkless, huh?"
Hana let out a deep sigh, "She is," she looked at a picture of her daughter on the wall next to her, "and she's absolutely devastated." Akari walked over to her sister, pulling her into a side hug. She too looked at the picture on the wall. It was a recent one from this year. It was of Y/n and Ejirou from her fourth birthday party. They were sitting side by side hugging each other, smiling wildly.
But there's a small ray of hope, that maybe, just maybe, you can break it down.
Ejirou ran through the living room and into the hallway. He was just about to Y/n's room, when his uncle steps into the hallway out of the bathroom, causing the red-eyed boy to collide with him and fall over.
"Oops! Sorry, uncle Ren!" Kirishima exclaimed. He stood up from the ground and dusted himself off.
"It's alright kiddo! Just don't run next time." Ren reached down and ruffled his nephew's hair. "Are you going to go play with Y/n Ei?"
"Yep!" Ejirou replied with a big toothy smile.
Ren let out a sigh. "Try and cheer her up for me while you're in there, alright?"
The small boy looked at his uncle confused. "She's sad? Why?" Ren could tell that he was very concerned for his daughter from the look on the boy's face. He smiled.
"She's going to have to tell you herself, alright?"
"Okay! I'll go cheer her up!" He gave another smile and this time walked to his cousin's room. He reached for the doorknob and opened the door. All the lights in the room were off. He turned and stood on his tiptoes to turn the lights on. He noticed a big mound of blankets on Y/n's bed.
He walked over to the mound of blankets. He pulled the top one off revealing a messy mop of h/c hair. He giggled.
The little girl emerged from her igloo of blankets and pushed them on the floor. Her hair was a mess as if she had just woke up from a nap. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. She turned to her cousin with weary eyes.
"Hi, Ei." She spoke quietly. She didn't look at him, only her small hands in her lap. Ejirou climbed up on the bed and sat next to her. He looked at her concerned.
"Are you okay n/n(nickname)?"
Years bubbled in the girl's eyes. Her lip jutted out. She slowly turned her head to look at the Ejirou.
"I can't be a hero with you anymore!" She said with a slight sob. Ejirou looked at her with both a puzzled and worried face.
"W-why?" He tried to look at her in the eyes but her head was down with her eyes closed.
She let out a whisper, "Because I'm quirkless." She rubbed the tears from her cheeks and eyes then finally looked up into her cousin's bright red eyes. He had a determined look on his face.
"That's not true! I think you can still be a hero even if you're quirkless!" He hops off the bed and puts his hands on his hips, still having a determined look. "You and I will be the best heroes ever! And you will be the world's best quirkless hero!" He held out his hand with a wide smile, " So what do you say? Are you still going to be the best hero with me?"
The small h/c hairs girl looked at him with eyes. "You really think I can?"
"Yup!" Ejirou with lots of excitement. Y/n face scrunched as she thought for a second. She hopped off the bed with a determined smile grabbing her cousin's hands.
Then slowly but surely, that wall begins to break down opening a path to your next obstacle.
"I don't even know why you're here?" The boy who pushed you down towered over you. A glint of hate and disgust in his eyes. You looked up at him propping yourself on one elbow as you touched your left cheek. The cheek he punched right before he pushed on the hard tile floor of the school. It's only been a week and this jerk was bullying you. Why? Well, you were a quirkless girl at a school that was made for people who had quirks to become hero's that you so happen to attend, and in this boy's eyes, that wasn't right.
"You wanna know why I'm here?" You looked at him straight in the eyes as if you were challenging him(well, you sorta were). You slowly sat onto your bum. Then proceeded to stand up. Not daring to take your eyes off the boy in front of you. "I made a promise to someone important to me that we would be hero's together. That I would be the world's best quirkless hero. No one, not even you, is going to get in my way.”
He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You won't survive a week as a pro before getting your quirkless butt killed." With that, he turned around and walked away.
You backed up to the wall and slid down. A heavy sigh left your mouth as you did so. You brought your knees up to your chest resting your head on them.
"Dang, it's already been a week and you got into a fight." A person that was walking towards you chuckled. You looked up and raised your brow at him.
"And you just let it happen?" You retorted with annoyance in your voice. You looked up at the boy now in front of you.
He let out another chuckle. "I could tell you had it handled ." He sat down beside you and crossed his legs.
You shot back a remark. "After what? Me getting pushed over?" You still had a glare on your face.
He looked down at his hands and breathed out. He turned back to you with a small smile. "I was going to help you after he did that," he paused looking you in the eyes still with a small, soft smile, "but once you got back up and looked at him dead in the eyes, I knew you had it covered."
You looked away, pink coming to your cheeks. "Thanks. I've never had a lot of people believe in me like that." You looked back at him with a smile. Your body relaxed and your legs now cross-legged like his. Your heartbeat picked up.
"Well, now you have some else who believes in you."
You both sat there for a second and looked at each other smiling. Both of each other's cheeks slightly pink. As you sat there you admired his features. He has short messy ash brown hair and vibrant green eyes. Under his left eye, he has a single, small freckle. His skin is clean and an ivory tone. It looked smooth and soft. Before you could continue to admire him, he released you from your trance.
"Hara Kenji." He held his hand out towards you still smiling.
"Oh uh, L/n F/n." You stuttered out grabbing his hand in return. "Nice to meet you."
He chuckled, "Nice to meet you too."
