I hope you still like this!~ Author's note is at the bottom! :)
It all began in Keikei City of China with the news of a glowing baby born. After that, exceptional people with powers were popping up. As decades come by, these exception now became the norm. Everything had change as 80% of the population born with abilities now called "quirks" dominated the planet. The world is now in chaos! Like being in a comic book, the impossible became possible. Fantasy turning to a reality. And a profession everyone once dreamed of entered the spotlight.
HEROES ARE NOW BORN.
And young Bakugou Katsuki, with a dream of being the strongest hero, is excited to get his own quirk! He's sure he'll have the coolest one!!!
Almost half of the kids in Katsuki's daycare got their quirks and it's a matter of time he gets his. It's almost his fourth birthday and he is so hyped that his mother had to smack the back of his head to stop him from screaming around the house that it's his birthday soon. (Stop disturbing the neighbors, Katsuki!")
But today is the day. As Katsuki wakes up, small feet plods to the hard wooden floor of his bedroom and he runs straight down stairs and sees both of his mother and father in the kitchen.
"MORNING!" Katsuki shouts across the room and receives a silent smile from his father, Masaru.
"Happy Birthday, Katsuki.", his mother, Mitsuki, replies with a knowing glare. (Don't scream again, you little shit.)
Katsuki runs to the living room and sees his daycare uniform laid out and a large gift, colored red and orange stripes, beside it. He grins to his parents, a short thank you back to them, making Mitsuki, sighs with a smile.
With no shame, Katsuki takes his clothes off and wears his daycare clothes. Masaru and Mitsuki sighs again, knowing the reason why their son is in such a hurry. They didn't prepare him breakfast knowingly.
"Bye, son." Masaru says but only his wife was listening. They wave a goodbye to their son already storming out of the house.
Katsuki bangs the door close, eagerly dashing his small legs on the pavement as the sun slowly rises under the clouds. He dashes to the left, and then to the right, and then to the apartment buildings in his sight. He runs until he loses his breath. Then he runs again.
Mitsuki only sighs as she sits down on the dining room chair of her house, already knowing where her son is headed. She only wishes that the person her son is headed to is up and ready for the storm coming.
"I hope that brat has manners when he knocks on Inko's house."
Masaru smiles, "We all hope, dear. But you know our son."
Mitsuki only chuckles back as a reply.

The sudden unrestrainable banging of her front door frightens Midoriya Inko from the kitchen as she prepares a three person breakfast this morning but sighs when she hears the familiar visitor.
"Izuku! Izuku! IZU! Hurry up and open the door, you slowpoke!!" Young Katsuki shouted outside while banging the door, unconcerned on all the ruckus he's doing.
Already familiar with the routine, Inko hears the excited stomps of footsteps from her four year old son going down the staircase.
"Mama! Kacchan is here!!!" Midoriya Izuku with all his bed hair popping out, shouts frantically with his shining green eyes. "Where's the gift?! Where's Kacchan's gift?!"
"Izuku..." Inko calmly smiles, wiping away her hands on her apron as she walks towards the living room and towards her son. "Open the door for Katsuki first, dear."
"Oh, yeah!" Izuku runs to the door and opens it. "Kacchan, happ---"
Katsuki lunges to Izuku for a hug and both rolled from the doorway towards the living room. "Izu! Morning!!" The blond boy hugs his smaller friend so tightly on the floor. "It's my birthday!!!"
"Yup! Happy Birthday, Kacchan!!" Izuku hugs Katsuki back. Green eyes sparkling in happiness.
Inko just laughs at the adorable little kids on her living room. "Izuku, how about Katsuki's gift? It's in your room, dear."
"Yeah!" Izuku grins at her then towards Katsuki. "Kacchan, I have a gift for you!"
Katsuki slowly stands up and helps Izuku up by the hand, his cheeks tinted pink. "R-really?"
Izuku tightens his grip on Katsuki's, pulling him upstairs towards his room with big smiles. "Yup! Come on!"
"I can walk by myself, idiot Izuku!" Katsuki grumbles as his cheeks flushed yet still holding Izuku's hands as they walk up.
Inko just goes back to the kitchen in giggles, sighing how those two little boys are so inseparable these days. She prepares breakfast for the three of them, just waiting for those two boys to come back down.
"Here!" Izuku shoves a large gift to Katsuki's hands. Katsuki tries to resist the smile showing on his face as he sees the orange and red explosion giftwrapper design of the gift. So cool!
"I...I hope you...like it..." Katsuki sees Izuku fidget. His fingers twirling around nervously, his cheeks red and embarrassed. "I picked it out for you..."
Katsuki wasted no time opening it when he heard that. A gift from Izuku makes him so so so happy. He rips out the colorful giftwrapper and his eyes widens when he sees his present. It's the new All Might action figure!
"All Might! All Might!!" Katsuki jumps in joy around Izuku's room.
Izuku just giggled on his friend's happy reaction. "I got you All Might, Kacchan! Since both of you are so amazing!"
Katsuki stops jumping on top of Izuku's bed, blushing even more. Izuku comparing him to how cool All Might was? That's...That's... The blond boy almost explodes. Izuku is an idiot!!
"Shut up!" Katsuki says.Though he still grabs Izuku's tiny hand while holding his gift, looking down with flushed cheeks. "But...thanks..."
He earned another hug from Izuku after that.
______________________________________
You don't get your quirk on the same time as everybody. Katsuki didn't even feel jealous when the others got theirs first.
A quirk that can make your hair longer? LAME.
A quirk that can make you tune things into trees? LAME.
A quirk that can see your future? LAME but intriguing. You think she can see the day Katsuki becomes a hero?
Katsuki hears the gushing of gossip during snack time. He never made an effort to remember the girl's name but she had a fortune-telling quirk. The teachers says that she can experience at least 15 seconds of the most important day of your life in the future.
Lame! So lame really but Katsuki keeps hearing everybody talking about her quirk so much that he's getting impatient on his. Fortune-girl can't even be a hero with that kind of quirk!
Katsuki stomps his feet in annoyance, now so impatient for his quirk. Though that stopped when he comes.
"Kacchan!" Izuku walks over towards to him with a bright smile and Katsuki forgets everything.
"Izuku! Morning! " Katsuki grins as he pinches Izuku's cheeks playfully.
"Stop it, Kacchan!" Izuku chuckled as he slaps his hand away. "Anna-chan has a cool quirk, did you hear?"
Katsuki frowns from the topic of conversation. Why is he Izuku even talking about her? "I don't care. Her quirk sucks."
"No, it's not!" Izuku shakes his head to deny it and then mumbles things about her quirk like they're so close.
Katsuki rolls his eyes then and clicks his tongue. Why is Izuku so interested in her? He'll be getting his quirk soon! It will be so cool and Izuku would only look at Katsuki in awe. He won't stop talking about it. And then when Izuku gets his, they'll be heroes together! Just like they promised each other.
Yet, Izuku still continues to talk about her. "And then Kacchan, I asked her to use her quirk on me!" Izuku was almost jumping from excitement. "She said that--"
But Katsuki had enough. He tugs Izuku's cheeks again just to stop him from talking anymore. "Shut up!"
"Oooooowww!! Stop it, Kacchan!", Izuku holds his stingy cheek.
"You keep talking about her. You worry about our quirks! I'm sure mine will be so much cooler than yours, Izuku!", Katsuki says.
"Then we'll be heroes together, right?" Izuku replies and smiles to Katsuki making the blond blush. Still, Katsuki lets out a wide grin, spread across his cheeks. He is just so excited for that day. Their promised day.
"Of course! Together!"
He only wished that these peaceful times would have lasted longer. Both of them would have been happy then. Big smiles with innocent dreams. These precious times where his hands are still clean.
The world was much more cruel than he expected.
With his tear-stricken face, he looks up at the rainy sky. Each drop of rain trying to wash away the blood on him. But it doesn't wash away his sins. His suffering.
He hoped, he prayed, he wanted this to end.
Middle school, the sludge incident, the UA exam, their first hero training, the USJ incident, sports festival, Stain, midterm exam, training camp, that day where they lost everything.
So many things have happened and yet he still hoped.
He hoped for a future that he's by his side.
Just like they promised.
Even if it kills him...
Even if he wanted to die himself...
Even if he knew that person will cry...
Maybe, just maybe...
That future he wished to have will come true.
Yet he knows the world will always be cruel.

Hey! Thank you for being so patient! I'll be tackling almost all the arcs! The story did not change but I'll be adding some scenes between to help.
I put a little glimpse of future chapters and almost all will be Izuku's perspective? I think. I'll be putting scenes where I can let Katsuki have some friendship with Iida, Todoroki and everyone else aside the Bakusquad!
I hope you like it! I'm reviving a character you all hate! Hahaha
