"You can't die from a fall this low," I told him as he dragged me along, I was okay with it though because he does this a lot, "Cuz you fell that one time and you didn't die." In fact, that time was another time we were trying to cross the log and failed because Kacchan fell, "Aren't you scared to fall?"

Kacchan growled like a mean dog before shoving me into Keres who let me land on him before getting up, "Me? Scared? That's your job, stupid Deku." He replied and continued to the log while we followed.

"Bakugo is never scared," Sidero said as we all climbed onto it one at a time, "Because he's too awesome, remember?" I also thought Kacchan was awesome so I just agreed and followed Kacchan step by step until all four of us had made it across, Keres didn't even walk on it because he could fly.

"We should be careful because we haven't been here before and we could get lost," I told them, "My mom makes me promise not to go places I don't know but she said not to do it alone so I guess it's fine because you guys are here but we should still be careful."

Kacchan rolled his eyes, "Scared, stupid Deku? We won't get lost because I'm great enough to remember." He trudged on and I decided to trust him and followed with Sidero and Keres. We were silent for a little bit until Kacchan picked something off of the ground, "Aha! A treasure! I told you we could find shit!"

I peered at what Kacchan had found and noticed it was shiny, "Whoa so pretty!" Kacchan said alphabet words like the S-H word a lot but even his mom couldn't make him stop so I ignored them.

Sidero and Keres looked as well, it was small and had a chain around it with a circle thing, "What is it?" Keres asked after we had looked at the thing a little bit, "Like a necklace or something?" The circle thing did have a flower on it so it looked like a girl's.

"Yeah, obviously, are you stupid?" Kacchan asked and shoved Keres who didn't fall, if he had pushed me then I think I would have fallen, "Come on, let's find some more things." Kacchan declared and began walking through the woods again.

I followed them while looking back so I maybe wouldn't forget, mom would be so worried and Mrs Bakugo would be angry, "Ah!" Something grabbed my feet and then I hit the ground. It felt like my nose was burning and I started crying.

Kacchan said something and so did Keres and Sidero but I didn't care, my face hurt lots. I was pulled up and Kacchan looked more than annoyed, "I guess we're going back to Midoriya's." He said before he started dragging me again by the wrist.

Sidero and Keres said things and Kacchan replied but I think I started ignoring them because I just wanted to cry and so I did. A lot. I don't think I was paying attention but when I looked down I noticed I was back on the log bridge and it scared me so much that I slipped on a wet spot.

Kacchan screamed my real name for once and I fell really far, or maybe it wasn't that far, because when I landed it wasn't that bad, but it still made me cry harder. It took a second for Kacchan to climb down, he didn't say anything, just grabbed me and we started stumbling back up into the woods again.

I was glad when we made it home because then mom could make me feel better. Mom always made me feel better. I just let her help me and fell asleep in the middle of the bath she was helping me with, it was so warm and she was humming so I fell asleep. I wonder what Kacchan is doing right now?

The next day was a school day and mom had put a few bandages on my face to hide the new cuts. Kacchan is probably angry with me, I'll have to talk to him today. Mom made me my food and I took the lunch bag while pulling the blue uniform shirt on, "Sorry for yesterday mom but I didn't get lost so it's okay, right?"

Mom smiled and I felt her hand on my head, "You didn't brush your hair again you silly boy." I felt myself smile, mom knew how to make me happy. I sat down and let mom brush my hair as I finished up breakfast, "Katsuki was worried about you yesterday, you know? He kept yelling and saying alphabet words but I could tell what he meant."

"Kacchan is weird like that," I told her honestly. Mom agreed and when she finished brushing my hair, it only floofed up again. She started giggling and so I started doing it too until we were both laughing in the dining room.

"Oh, Izuku! You need to get going!" Mom shouted. I looked at the time on our stove before yelling and grabbing the lunch bag mom had made and my school bad, "Into the car, come on!" Mom ordered.

I ran into the car and buckled up in my booster seat, mom was out soon enough and we started driving, "I hope I see a hero today, mom!" I told her excitedly, "What if I see All Might?! Huh?! That would be so cool!"

"Yes, yes," Mom replied, "I just hope we don't run into an incident while we're running late." She added quietly. Mom was funny like that, she thought being places on time was more important than seeing real-life heroes.

We got to my school without anything stopping it and I got out, "Bye mom!" I shouted and then ran inside, I wanted to find Kacchan right now to apologize for making him worry yesterday. I looked around but he wasn't here yet so I put my bags up and sat down on the play mat with one of my other friends, Ava, she's really nice to me and her dad gave me cookies once.

Ava and I played with building blocks for a long time, or maybe it wasn't that long, but soon I saw Kacchan enter. I jumped up and ran over to him only to have Kacchan speak first, "What the fuck happened to your face?"

"Ah well..." I lifted my shoulders and dropped them, "Did you forget about falling down yesterday? Mom wanted to cover up the hurts on me." I explained, "I actually walked over here to uh to say sorry."

"Sorry?" Kacchan flicked me and I squealed which was weird, "You're so weird, shitty Deku. Let's go to the kitchen set. I like cooking with mom so we should go pretend there." He told me and I agreed, I wanted to help anyway because I'm bad at cooking so playing pretend should be fun.

We headed over to the kitchen and Kacchan began bringing toy pots and pans out when I felt something weird in my fingertips. I held them up, "Kacchan my fingers are weird. It's like they're buzzing - like bees!" I held them up and Kacchan watched me.

"Maybe it's your quirk, Deku," He answered. I grew excited and nodded happily, "There's no way it's better than my quirk though so don't let is get to your head, alright?" I nodded happily and focused on my fingers.

Mom used to tell me that dad had a fire quirk or something, I never met him, but soon what looked like fire came from my fingers, "Whoa! Fire!" I shouted and turned to look at Kacchan, "Look I-" I felt myself cough and Kacchan's eyes seemed to become wider than dinner plates. I looked down as everything hazed in and out, was that juice on my uniform? "Ka..."

"Deku!" He caught me, I'm not sure why he had to, was it because he's silly like that? I don't know honestly. I want mom, maybe if I sleep mom will come. So I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep while Kacchan called for the teacher.
