Friends made, Hearts broken

"I'm kirishima, this is my buddy Denki." The blonde smiled and waved. Midoriya's frown starts to change, though his expression still was upset and distant.

"Listen.." Midoriya said, "I'd love to say I'm grateful you saved me, but I cant. I didnt want to be saved.." Denki and Kirishima exchanged looks.

"Well I'm glad your safe, and I'm sure your family is happy I did too." Kirishima put on a big smile, hoping it would cause Midoriya to have one too.

"My family?.." Midoriya looked down. "All I have is my mom and my auntie Mitsuki.." Midoriya could feel tears threaten to show again, Kirishima could also see them.

"Hey, I bet your a fan of Allmight!" Kirishima said, putting an arm around Midoriya's shoulder. "There's a talk show tonight and he will answer online text boxes! want to login and talk to him?" Midoriya's eyes widen and so did a smile.

"Yes! You two have to come over and watch with me!" Midoriya grabbed both of of their hands and started to drag them toward his house. The two friends didn't know how to react, so all they did was follow the excited Broccoli all the way to his house.

"Well who's this Izu-" Inko tried to great the boys but Midoriya just ran past.

"Sorry mom no time!" Was all Midoriya said as he lead the boys to his room. He finally let go of them as he jumped on his computer.

"Wow" Denki commented. "You sure love Allmight." Kirishima and Denki shrugged at each other as they walked behind Midoriya.

Within minutes the exact news show Kiri talked about was on the screen. There sat Allmight in his yellow suit and a news reporter.

"Hello everyone!" Allmight smiled with his words. "Thank you so much for joining us today! Now, send in your questions and I'll answer as many as possible!" Midoriya quickly started to type.

"What are you going to ask?" Denki asked, trying to read the fast typing. Quickly Midoriya sent the question along with multiple others.

"Oh wow, look at of these questions! What about this one right here?" The news man smiled as he clicked his mouse, Midoriya's question appeared on screen.

"Holy crap you got picked" Denki commented.

"Can someone without a quirk become a hero like Allmight?" The news reporter read. Kirishima and Denki looked at Midoriya with a little shock. 'It makes since' Kirishima thought. 'Suicide rates are almost 90% quirkless'

"Well, being a hero means putting your life on the line to protect others. If you have no quirk, I don't think you can be a pro hero." Allmight spoke in a slightly upset tone. "Now, there are plenty of other ways to be heroic. You could be a police officer! Us pros are nothing without our police. But could an individual with no quirk be a pro hero? I don't believe so."

The chat started to fill with people reassuring Allmight. A few say their quirkless but will be police so they can be heroes too.

"That is so harsh.." Denki said. Both boys looked at Midoriya. His eyes were glued to the screen, tears slowly rolled down his freckle covered cheeks, a wavering smile plastered on his lips. His body started to shake as the tears started to flow more.

"That bastard..." Kirishima grumbled under his breath. He turned off Midoriya's computer and pulled his office chair back.

"W-what are you doing dude?" Denki asked. His own eyes threatened with tears. Kirishima was silent. Suddenly he grabbed Midoriya's wrist and pulled him out of the chair. The smiling boy stood but quickly feel into Kirishima's arms as he started to cry.

"W-why?" Midoriya's mumbled threw his tears. His body started to shake harder.

"Oh Izu.." Denki said, quickly Denki latched onto Izuku. Kirishima's hand went threw the blonde's hair, knowing it would calm him.

"Listen to me Izuku. It doesn't matter what that high and mighty hero says. It shouldn't matter if you have a quirk or not, your gonna be a powerful hero if you want to be." Kirishima couldn't help but feel pissed. A hero who was supposed to protect others, care for them. Not make them cry.

"Thank you for b-being here guys..." Midoriya spoke. His tears slowly started to lessen. Right at that moment, Kirishima knew that he could never leave this shaking boy in his arms.

"Of course." Denki and Kirishima said at the same time. They both looked at each other in shock when they heard themselves, but immediately smiled and snuggled Midoriya.
