Quirk less Creator
He was born quirk less, something that greatly shocked his father. At first, his father had trained him resiliently assuming he was going to be the one with the perfect quirk that the man had always wanted. Then he had turned 7 and had still not manifested any quirk. The doctor's declaration was cold and straight to point, his toe was bent and he was quirkless. It had hurt him, his father ignored his existence, his siblings never approached him and he only had his mother. For a year though, she miscarried in April and in May she threw boiling water at his face. His right side had a nasty burn and her mother had been removed from his side. Since then he had always been alone and the loneliness had become his only friend.
It didn't matter though, he had gotten used to it. He was used to the bullying he faced in school and he was used to the ghost of a house. It was quite easy to get used to them, years pass and his heart just stops feeling. In the current society, this was the fate of every quirkless. He was still better than most of them as he still got a good education and could probably get a good enough job in the future. The only thing he will never have is a loved one but that is ok, humans can survive even if they are alone.
His harsh reality was his normality and he didn't find any fault in it.
He chose UA for his high school though and his sister had looked very uneasy when she had seen him off for his entrance exam. Since the last year of his junior high, his sister Fuyumi Todoroki had moved into his house and was living with him. She was trying her best to become family with him but things were still messy and awkward, he was still grateful for her effort. That is most anything has ever done for him, his mother had once loved him but he has forgotten her warmth, soon he will forget her voice and one day he will forget her face too. It can't be helped, she probably doesn't even want to see his face again and he won't torture her any more than she already is.
He had chosen the support school of UA as hero course was impossible for him. Support course only had a written test so it technically didn't matter if he doesn't have a quirk. Naturally, they assumed everyone had a quirk though and he doesn't even blink at there shocked faces when they learn he is quirkless. It is the usual thing but he is glad in UA at the least they just ignore his presence and didn't bully him, they still talked a lot behind his back but he ignored it. He has heard all those words a thousand times by now so he doesn't care. It is easier to not care than to care and after all.
It is still bad in UA because UA was UA and it is very shocking for a quirkless of all people to be here. With his fortune, he could have gone in another school quite easily but once in past he had wanted to be a hero just like All might, that dream had crashed quite quickly but a part of it remained. The part that wanted to help people in some way, to be a hero in some way. There were other jobs, they were many other jobs that saved people too but once he had visited UA's culture festival and had gotten chance to make a support device on his own, and a student had tried it.
He had made a simple jet gun for a water quirk and the student behind the stall had complimented him saying he had a talent for it. He had made his decision. They may not be a hero directly but because of them the heroes could work more effectively, save more people and defeat more Villians efficiently. He could be a hero behind the curtains and that was enough for him, for someone like him. He had joined the support course and he had been glad he had done it because he met someone who talked to him as an equal.
Hatsume Mei was an interesting person, she was genius and like a mad genius, she only cared about her creations and her ability to create. For her nothing else mattered, she didn't care he was quirkless as long as he could keep up with her ideas, discuss them with her and create things as par as her, she would talk to him. They were maybe friends, he doesn't know he has never had friends but he spent most of the time in school with her discussing all of their crazy creations and creating things in their teacher's lab. Power-sensei was a bit hard on them, always scolding them for the mess they create in his lab but he never kicked them out and listened to there endless brainstormings.
The school had become an oasis for him with Hatsume and Power-sensei there. They treated him like a normal person and talked to him like you would to anyone else, their topics were not normal but it was enough for him, enough to give provide him peace and strength to get through the three years of his high school. Everyone around them did make up all kinds of rumours like they might be dating but that was not possible. Hatsume saw him as a partner that was equal to her in the theoretical aspect of creations and he saw her as a good partner too who could care less about his status. He didn't harbour romantic feelings towards her or anyone for that matter and he never will probably because truly making friends was already impossible for him, lovers were out of the realm of the possibility. And not to be rude he doesn't think Hatsume will develop romantic feelings for someone that easily, at least not right now. Maybe in future when her dream of being the best creator becomes real, but right now she had only eyes for her creations and not anything else or anyone else. Heck, she didn't even study for the tests that resulted in many times for her being threatened to expulsion even though it has been only two months since they started school. Her genius creation ability was one of the few reasons Power-sensei handled her interesting personality and didn't kick her out of his class or school for that matter.
He doesn't want this scenery to change, this much is enough for him but change is an internal part of life and he learns this when he bumps with a girl with a fluffy ponytail and very honest eyes. He was walking in corridors to the canteen to get some lunch. He was listening to Hatsume as she went on about a new power suit she was developing, he was a bit out of it today. The lessons had been quite content filled and he needs to review them again to understand everything, as he ruminated on one of these topics, about thermodynamics. He didn't notice her walking straight towards him. She had turned to the girls beside her, with a blush of her pale skin as she tried to deny something they were teasing her about. She didn't notice until last minute as they crashed right into each other and both let out a groan as they jumped back. He rubbed his chin and she, her forehead as they blinked at the suddenness. They looked at each other and both immediately bowed and apologized, and then moved on.
He heard her friends whispering as they glanced at his back and he sighed. He stepped on something though and looks down to see a notebook under his foot and immediately picks it up. He turns but its owner is already far too ahead for him to call her out. So he looks at it and reads his name,
'Yayorozu Momo, class 1-A' He heaves a heavy sigh.
He thinks it is just his luck that he bumped into someone from A class of all people. She will probably get embarrassed if he gave it to her in front of everyone so he turns to Hatsmue to ask her to deliver it but the girl has just been waiting for him to right himself again so they can go back to the topic. She ignores him as she starts rambling again and he lets out another sigh. He doesn't talk to anyone else in his class, and telling his teacher was far too embarrassing and knowing Power-sensei he will probably glare at him and ask him to do it himself. So he decides he will wait for her at the entrance since he knows A class finishes quite late and there will be only some people around that time.
He is hoping he can finish it quickly with least exposure as he sits down on one of the benches and pulls out his notebook and starts doing some of his homework. As time passes, the last bell rings loudly and he closes the book as he looks up and starts searching for the black-haired girl he bumped into. The girl is quite noticeable with her tall height and her signature ponytail tied so high. He makes way quickly, 'go in fast and get out fast' was his tactic. He appeared in front of her literally out of nowhere. She almost gasped as she stopped with another girl and they look at him strangely. He ignores it as he thrusts out her notebook and shows it to her. She takes it cautiously as she recognises her book and immediately realizes.
She looks up to him and smiles wide, her eyes softening considerably and it is such a friendly look that he feels safe with her,"Thank you so much for returning this."
He nods as turns away and quickly walks away, not waiting for them to say anything else or make any stupid assumptions. But it lingers in his head as he walks home, her smile and that soft eyes. They looked so friendly towards him, he has hardly seen those kinds of eyes towards him. It was kindness with no motive attach to it and it has stuck in his mind. She feels like a hero and he smiles slightly as he thinks,
'She will make a good hero.'
