Letters

Izuku Midoriya pov

I stared at the fish held between my chopsticks wide-eyed. It was a week after the practical exam for UA high school, which I utterly failed at, with still no sign of anything. No letter, email, or website posting scores or acceptances, or in my case, turn away.

"Izuku?"

"..."

"Snap out of it?! Izuku?" I heard my mother's voice faintly.

"Why are you smiling at that fish? Should I be worried about you hunny?" my mom asked with a great amount of concern on her face.

"Oh! Sorry no. I just spaced out for a minute!" I frantically reassured her.

I resumed eating the food in front of me rather quickly. The truth is I didn't space out. I was way too stressed about my test scores for UA, I hadn't scored a single point on the practical and I wasn't mentally prepared for the defeat of not being accepted.

My mom stared silently at me as I ate my food. She kept a close eye on me to make sure everything was fine before leaving me to do the dishes.

When I was done I sat on the couch and started doing hand curls with my spring. I stared straight forward zoning out in my misery. I even had a bit of drool seeping out of the side of my mouth.

'Ever since the exam, I haven't been able to get in touch with All Might or (Y/n). I think that they're both so disappointed with the outcome of my test that they've stopped talking to me.'

My mom noticed my sunken face and attempted to cheer me up.

"I know waiting for the results is terrible." she smiled, trying to comfort me.

"I guess," I replied.

"No matter what I just want you to know I'm proud of you and I think you're really cool sweety!"

"Sure." I let out an airy sigh.

I then picked up the small weight that was by my foot and started doing curls. My mom had left the room and gone outside to get fresh air.

Suddenly the living room door flew open with my mom crawling on the ground. Soon after (Y/n) also came crashing in with two white envelopes in her hands.

"Geez, Mama Inko you're fast!" (Y/n) panted.

"Mom? (Y/n)?" I questioned turning towards the both of them.

"A letter! Izuku they came! Izuku look you got a letter! They're here, your test results from UA!" my mom squealed as she shimmied across the floor.

"Yeah look!" (Y/n) yelled outstretching her hands to show the two letters better.

I just stared blankly at them. Then both me and (Y/n) rushed to my room at the same time. We quickly shut the door and she placed the letters on my desk. We could hear my mom pacing back and forth outside but we didn't pay much attention to it.

I sat down on my desk chair while (Y/n) went to turn off the lights and came back to stand behind me.

I just stared at the letter on my desk not wanting to open it. I already knew I didn't get in so what was the point?

"Izuku come on. We'll open ours together." (Y/n) said placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah ok." I nervously said.

We both grabbed our letters off the desk and ripped them open. When we did, a small metal disk fell out of each of our envelopes onto the desk. Well (Y/n)'s fell off the desk so she bent down to pick it up.

When my metal disk steadied on the table it made a charge-up sound and started to project something.

"Booya! I am here as a projection now."

I screamed. "Wait All Might?"

"All Might?" (Y/n) called from under the desk. She frantically stood up hitting her head on the edge of the table in the process.

"Ow," she whined rubbing her head.

"But this is from UA isn't it?" I said startled. I looked back at my letter then to All Might again multiple times.

"I know it's been a while, but with great power comes a great amount of paperwork!" All Might called through the projection. He then coughed.

"My apologies young man, and apparently (Y/n) as well? The truth is I didn't come to this city just to fight villains. You're looking at the newest UA faculty member!" he announced.

"You're seriously going to be working at UA?" I asked, but then (Y/n) interrupted me before I could say anything else.

"ALL MIGHT GOT ON WITH IT! DID WE PASS OR NOT!?" She yelled at the projection.

"(Y/n)!" I cowered.

"When he was taking too long," she complained as she walked back and sat on my bed.

"Right so moving on." All Might cleared his throat. "Midoriya, Even though you passed the written test, you got zero combat points in the practical exam. Sorry." All Might started.

I looked down at my desk. "I know that. Of course, I know. It's all I've thought about." I started to cry.

"Aye Izuku stop crying and listen." (Y/n) called in an annoyed tone.

"Fortunately there were other factors." All Might continued.

I straightened up more to look at him again.

"But before we get to that I have another surprise! Here look! A short clip for your viewing pleasure." All Might beckoned towards a tv next to him and hit play on a remote.

"Do you have a sec? Sorry to interrupt." It started playing a clip of the nice girl who saved me from crash landing in the exam.

"It's that nice girl?" I said recognizing her.

"She showed up after the exam to talk about you young man." All Might explained.

(Y/n) was weirdly being quiet behind me looking annoyed as if she wanted this to hurry up. 'Does she know something?'

"What did she have to say? You'll have to stay tuned to find out!" All Might hit play again.

"You know that boy with the really messy hair and all the freckles? It's hard to describe his face. He's kind of plain-looking. Uh, he doesn't really stand out or anything you know?" The video started.

(Y/n) snickered behind me laughing at the girl's comment about my appearance. I didn't care though, she usually playfully picked on me. Guess I liked it, it wasn't mean or anything, rather funny actually.

I placed my attention back on the screen.

"I was wondering would it be possible to give him some of the points I earned in the exam? I heard him say something about wanting to get just one point in! Which just seems crazy! How could someone who took down that huge villain all by himself not have any points in the end?"

I had a minor flashback of all the comments Kachan would make about me but tried to push them aside and listen more.

"He would've had a better score if he hadn't stopped to help me! He saved me! I have to make it up to him!"

My face lit up. 'I saved someone?'

"Please sir, can't you just, give him my points?" *beep*

All Might paused the screen again and the camera pointed back at him. At this point, I was now standing in amazement. 'Why would she want to give her hard-earned points to me? I was too pathetic to get them myself.'

"You have a quirk now yes, but it's your actions that inspire others. And that's why I am here! You see the practical exam was not graded on combat alone." All Might stated and unpaused the clip again.

This time it was Present Mic talking to the girl. "Thanks for showing up to the station with your request. Though there's no reason to give him your points. The kid's charted well on his own."

All Might stepped in front of the screen again. "How could a hero course reject someone who is committed to saving others no matter the consequences to himself? After all, that is what makes a hero."

My mouth and eyes were wide open and I swear I could hear some faint music. 'Oh wait never mind that's just (Y/n).' She had her phone high up in the air as she played some sad rising action song from a movie.

"And that's what my All-momento is all about. Training those who would risk their lives for the greater good. SO WE HAVE RESCUE POINTS! A panel of judges watches and they award points to heroic acts beyond just fighting villains. IZUKU MIDORIYA, 60 RESCUE POINTS! And Ochako Uraraka 45 rescue points! You both passed the exam."

My eyes started to water. I couldn't believe it. I had passed the UA entrance exam!

I turned back to (Y/n) who also had tears rolling down her face.

"I'm so proud of you Izuku. I knew you could do it!" she laughed jumping up from the bed and hugging me next over the chair.

"Uh? This is some type of joke?" I cried.

All Might extended his hand out to me, "Welcome, Izuku. You have made it. You are not part of the Hero Academia."

I rubbed my eyes with my sleeve whilst still crying. "THANK YOU!" I yelled.

"Now go tell your mom. I still have to talk about my test." (Y/n) joked and I nodded. I left her in my room and closed the door.

I ran to my mom and cried in her arms. Happy tears this time.

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

(Y/n) pov

I watched as Izuku left his room crying. Once he had closed the door I turned back towards All Might on the screen.

"Well (Y/n) I wasn't expecting you to also be here but we can get you done now as well."

I nodded.

"(Y/n) (L/n). You scored an amazing score of 259 combat points. You then continued to save another examinee from the zero pointer villain easily earning you another 70 points. In total, your score was 329. This is the highest score out of all the examinees placing you first above the next closest score of 77." All Might started.

"Yes thank you." I nodded.

"You also passed the written test with a perfect score. Very impressive."

"Haha, thanks." I smiled.

"So you passed." He ended.

'Excuse me what?'

"What?" I said in disbelief.

"What do you mean 'what'" All Might said, sounding confused.

"You gave Izuku that whole ass speech- you know what never mind. Thank you All Might. I'm looking forward to being your student but also being able to spar with you and win." I added the last part with a grin.

"Ahaha..." All Might chuckled nervously. "Yeah. Good mindset. Well, I have to be off, I have about another few hundred of these to do. See you in school young (L/n)."

"Yep bye!" I waved as the metal disk turned off.

"Tch. I know I should be happy and all but really, no motivation speech or anything. Ack he definitely has favorites. I know Izuku is his successor but come on dude!" I yelled irritated by All Might.

I walked out of the room to see Izuku and Mama Inko waiting for me.

"So? Did you get in?" Mama Inko asked.

"YEAH!" I yelled and jumped in the air.

Izuku didn't say a word and just ran up to me and hugged me. Since he was much stronger now he ended up lifting me up and twirling me around.

"AHAHHA IZUKU!!!" I screamed and giggled.

He finally put me down and I realized that he was crying.

"Izuku?" I asked cupping his cheek. "You ok?"

He held my hand against his cheek and lifted his eyes to meet mine.

"I'm just so glad. That we can become hero's together." he sniffled.

"Aww Izuku!" I hugged him and lightly cried onto his shoulder. "I'm happy too. We're both going to be great, I just know."

"Zodiacs?"

"Zodiacs." I laughed.

"AWWWWWWWWW!" Mama Inko squealed in the corner.

We both had forgotten about her. We jumped away from each other embarrassed.

"Doesn't matter I already got photos!" she laughed.

"AH! NO! You can't show anyone! I need to look tough!!!!" I fake cried and ran towards her.

"EEEK!" she yelled and started running away.

I ran after her are started chasing her around the house. I could hear Izuku laughing from another room. Eventually Mama Inko got tired and I took pity on her and let her be with her photos.

She cooked Izuku and I's favorite food, katsudon, and we all celebrated. We played loud music, did karaoke, and ate ice cream. Overall it was awesome! It was the most fun I have had since I had arrived here. I tried not to think about the whole 'arriving' thing and just find the good aspects in life. I WAS IN A FUCKING ANI- I... am here.

I ended up staying over at Izuku's house and sleeping on his bedroom floor. He had done this a few times before especially when we would be out late from training with All Might. I texted Mr. Aizawa to let him know that I was staying over at a friends house and he agreed to let me go.

Izuku and I stayed up pretty late geeking out and talking about all the cool things we would do once we were heroes. At some point we even somehow go to the topic of favorite villains. I know it's weird but some of them are just so damn smart. At some points I would find myself even rooting for them to win instead of the hero. Of course I wouldn't tell Izuku that because he would probably get really offended.

We eventually fell asleep talking and debating.

Time Skip: next morning

The next morning I woke up to Izuku screeching.

"HUH WHAT AAAAAHHHHH! Wait what are we yelling at?" I woke up startled.

"Oh sorry! BUT ALL MIGHT FINALLY TEXTED ME! He said to meet him at the beach, the both of us." Izuku informed me.

"Oh ok!" I stood up off of the ground. "I'll meet you there. I don't have clothes here so I'll have to go home first before I go. You'll probably get there before me so tell All Might that I'll be a little late ok?" I said, grabbing the sweatshirt I had taken off from the floor. "Oh and tell your mom that I said by and that I thank her for letting me stay over." I finished, rushing out of Izuku's bedroom door.

"OK!" He called behind me.

I rushed to their front door and put back on my sneakers. I hopped around trying to just slide them on my feet but found myself defeated with the tight knots I had tied before. I had to sit down, untie them, slide my foot in, and retie my sneakers again before heading off.

I carefully opened their door to try and not wake up Mama Inko. I walked outside and locked their door with the key I was interested with. I wore it around my neck so that I wouldn't lose it. It was a token of the Midoriya's trust and friendship with me so it meant more than just a housekeep. (Yeah I know Eren moment)

Once I got on the road I summoned Akemi and put her into sports mode. When I hopped on she made a charge up sound and flew at the speed of light! Well not actually, maybe just slightly faster that she normal does.

I made it home in under 5 minutes and teleported inside my room. Not really sure why I didn't just teleport in the first place but it was too late now anyway.

"Back home now I see?" Mr. Aizawa called from my desk.

I screamed and jumped back against my door.

"Dadzawa... uh what are you doing in my room?" I said, collecting myself.

"Well I was waiting for you to come home. Although now it looks like you're heading out again?"

'He responded to Dadzawa?'

"Oh yeah. My friend and I are going to celebrate getting in together with another friend somewhere." I explained while grabbing a different sweatshirt from my closet.

"Hmm? And where us this 'somewhere'?" he raised an eyebrow.

"It's somewhere. That's all I can say. Privacy reasons." I shrugged walking into my bathroom with new pants, a shirt, and the sweatshirt I pulled out from the closet.

"PRIVACY!?" Dadzawa yelled as I closed the door behind me.

"Not like that!" I laughed shutting the door.

I took my time getting changed so that Mr. Aizawa would be gone by the time I came out.

"Holy shit... I'm in UA. I knew I would get in, but it's real now... IMMA GET TO MEET MINA! AND TODOROKI, KODA, SERO, AND KIRI!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled in the bathroom. If Mr. Aizawa was still outside in my room he couldn't hear me since I made the bathroom soundproof for my screaming fits.

I looked at myself in the mirror and tidied my hair. I tried to get my small. baby hairs pulled back but it was no use. They kept sticking out so I eventually just gave up.

I stepped out of the bathroom fully changed to see Mr. Aizawa still sitting in the same spot.

I looked at him with a confused look. He then just silently got up and left.

'Huh? Weird.'

I jogged to the front door of the house and slipped on my sneakers.

"I'M HEADING OUT!!" I yelled before I left so that Mr. Aizawa would know.

I teleported to the beach where I found All Might, in muscle form, and Izuku sprinting down the beach. There were two civilians chasing them probably wanting an autograph.

I laughed and started running towards them.

"So where are we going?" I asked running beside them.

I must have scared them because All Might yelled a but and Izuku fell down.

"Oh oops sorry! Didn't mean to scare you!" I apologized.

"Well Young (L/n) now that you're here do you think you could get us to safety. You know, away from the people." All Might asked, motioning to the people chasing us.

"Oh yeah of course. Hold onto me." I grabbed Izuku's coat collar and All Might held onto my shoulder. I quickly searched for a deserted places that I could teleport us to.

'Ah found one!'

I closed my eyes and teleported the three of us.

I let go of Izuku's collar and All Might let go of my shoulder.

"Uh- (Y/n)?" Izuku turned to me. "Where did you teleport us to?"

"The Sahara Desert." I plainly spoke.

"T-THE SAHARA DESERT!" Izuku screamed.

"Yeah? I mean no one's here so we can speak freely." I shrugged.

"Umm thank you Young (Y/n), but I don't think we needed to go this far. We aren't even in Japan anymore." All Might laughed.

"Yeah sorry." I rubbed the back of my neck.

"But anyways, both of you." All Might started. Izuku and I turned towards him.

He then started to cough and turn back into Small Might. I was used to it by now but Izuku let out a small scream. I just laughed and waited for All Might to start talking again.

"As I was saying before we left Izuku. In time you will be able to control my power and adjust how much you'll be using at times."

I silently nodded next to Izuku.

"And you (Y/n), I watched your footage from the entrance exam, very impressive. You took down that zero pointer like it was nothing and came out unscathed." All Might said to me.

"Thank you! But also know that if I wanted to I could do the same to you easily. So don't ever, I repeat don't EVER, hurt Izuku. Ok?" I smiled.

All Might sweat dropped knowing it was true. Ever since he found out about my real quirk he ws more cautious around me. It's not like I would actually do anything to him, but it was just a precaution.

Izuku nervously smiled beside me realizing that I was serious.

"Oh don't worry Zuzu-kun. If I did do something to him I would make sure you didn't find out about it." I laughed.

"Hahah. You're joking right?" Izuku stared at me.

I didn't respond and just turned back to All Might answering Izuku's question. I was serious.

"Umm so. Good job the both of you, I am very proud." All Might continued smiling. "But (Y/n), do you think you could bring us back?" All Might asked.

"Oh yeah of course. Hang on again."

This time Izuku held my hand and All Might again had his hand on my shoulder. I teleported them back in front of Izuku's house. No one was around so there wasn't anyone to question our arrival.

"Thank you (Y/n)." All Might said.

"Yeah no problem. Oh Izuku I hope you don't mind but I brought you home." I laughed.

"Yeah yeah that's fine. It's not like we could go back to the beach anyway with the people there." he smiled.

"Yeah well I got to go. My dad wasn't so happy with me just leaving."

"Oh yeah that's fine. My mom probably wants me back inside too."

We both waved goodbye and Izuku went back into his house.

"Dad?"

I froze.

"Uhhh." I turned towards All Might who was standing there. He knew fully well that Aizawa was looking over me.

'Oh shit...'

"Dad? PFFFFFFFTTTTTT" All Might started laughing at me.

I turned my head to the side and puffed out my cheeks. "No." I muttered.

"No? What do you mean no! YOU JUST CALLED AIZAWA YOUR FATHER!" All Might wheezed harder.

"NO I DIDN'T! I NEEDED AN EXCUSE! AHHHH SHUT UP!" I threw my hands down to my side.

"No you totally did! Pfffffft!" sparks of water flew from his face.

"Ok boomer." I turned around.

"B-boomer??! WHAT GENERATION EVEN ARE YOU! HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT! GOD YOU'RE WEIRD!"

"NO I'M NOT! I just- I like history class!" I made up an excuse.

'Technically All Might was Gen Z but so was I. Just that since this show is takes place in the future, I would have to act like... heck I don't even know what generation I'm portrayed as anymore.'

"You better not tell him about this." I said over my shoulder.

"Don't worry. I-I won't!" All Might laughed again.

"Whatever. See you when school starts."

"Awwww that far away?" All Might fake cried to annoy me.

"Yes. Don't expect to hear from me till then." I scoffed and summoned Akemi.

"Ooo fany skateboard."

"SHUT UP!"

I skated away fast with the slight help from an air quirk to get away from All Might. I raced down the street and up the large hill back to Mr. Aizawa's house. I teleported inside the gate and ran inside. (Akemi had been un-summoned er she's gone)

I ran to my room after locking the front door. I slammed the door shut, not too loud, and hurried my face in my pillow.

"AGUAGDUAU!!!" I let out a muffled scream into the fabric. "ACK! All Might is so annoying! I even almost blew my cover!!!" I grumbled.

'How will I ever make it through the school year?'
