Time passed many years from now as many varieties of Quirks began to develop among humanity, thus, it soon became a normal thing to possess. The world populated by Quirks soon began the rise of heroes. People who use their gifted powers for justice and integrity. To protect the innocent and the weak. But there are also villains, who use their powers out of their own conviction and ideals. The battle of Heroes and Villains had been witnessed and passed by throughout the years.

But it was not only Quirks that began to cover the whole population of the world. There were two, first, it was then discovered that everyone has their fated mates. It is said that these fated people will know the one when they felt the hands of that person. Many testified the feeling of finding their fated mates. But it is said that you'll feel that person as someone you will never want to lose. When that happens, they will be able to feel their mates in emotions and presence.

Another rise and changed society, a hierarchy was formed. The Alpha, Beta, and Omega population. The Alphas were considered as the first of that hierarchy. The powerful and dominant ones. Majority of these Alphas are granted with powerful Quirks and no chance of being Quirkless. They are already ensured a life of success and luxury, depending on how the Alpha is. The Beta is the middle class of the hierarchy. Can either mate a dominant Alpha or find their submissive Omega. Chances of them getting a powerful Quirk is a bit high, but has low chance of being Quirkless. The Omegas, however, being in the lowest part of the hierarchy, was considered as the most treasured price among both Alpha and Beta, especially if the Omega possesses a powerful Quirk. It is everyone's dream to find an Omega as their mate for life.

At the age of 4, Quirks began developing and at the age of 8, that's where they'll come out by neither of the three. But the day where their fated mates will appear was unknown. No one knows the exact time.

In a certain park, a six year old boy with green curly hair was shoved down on the floor. His eyes were teary as he looked at his friend. The others merely laughed at the sight of young Izuku being pushed away.

"Kacchan, please let me come with you!"

But the blonde haired kid merely clicked his tongue out of annoyance and glared back, "Why would I let you come with me, shitty Deku?"

"I-I just want to follow Kacchan! It seems fun."

"No you can't Deku! I mean you're fucking useless! You don't have a quirk, right? What would a quirkless Deku do anyway but hold us back?"

"But Kacchan –!" Izuku stood up and tried to get near him. But Bakugo raised his hand and shot a weak explosion in front of him.

Izuku could only move back out of fear while Bakugo's other friends just laughed at him. Izuku secretly held his right hand, showing a small but superficial burn mark in his skin.

"Tch, follow us and you're good as dead. Hear me!?" Izuku nods, holding back his tears.

"Come on, let's leave this Quirkless loser." His friends agreed and left Izuku with sneers visible in their faces.

Izuku just ran by the shade of the tree and sat down. He was crying from the pain of the burn and that his childhood friend still continued to ignore him. Ever since Bakugo's quirk appeared, he showed no sympathy to Izuku. Calling the boy Quirkless. Since they entered first grade, the news of Izuku being quirkless spread like wildfire thanks to Bakugo's loud mouth and some of his friends' ways of spreading gossip. Add the fact that he is a bit sickly when the moment strikes.

"It's not fair… it's not fair…" Izuku silently mutters as he sobs.

"Promise me, Izuku, okay? You're the only one I have. I don't want to lose you."

"It's not fair…"

"C-Can I be a hero…?"

At a young age, people started avoiding him like a plague. Being quirkless meant that you're at the bottom of society, the useless member. That's what Bakugo meant of his nickname "Deku", a useless kid. He tried to make friends, but Izuku having no quirk just made them want to avoid him. Bakugo was having friends and quickly became popular due to his grades and quirk. Izuku may be smarter than Bakugo, but it still didn't waver their opinions about him.

Midoriya Izuku became their living joke. Speaking to him in false pretenses, showing him that he's not worth looking at. A Deku who couldn't do anything.

He then heard the voices of those people, looking at him with pity and disdain. He never wanted a life of being Quirkless. He also dreamed to be a hero like All Might. But how… that was his thoughts.

"H-Hey, are you okay?"

Izuku's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a voice. He looked anywhere and found no one.

"There is no one here…"

"That's because I'm behind the tree."

Izuku then looked by his side and saw a boy with dual colored hair and eyes staring at him. The other boy with a burnt scar on his left eye was still behind the tree, but he decided to show himself.

"Sorry, I just heard you crying and I decided to check on you. Are you hurt?"

Izuku wiped his face, "I-I'm okay…"

But the other boy noticed Izuku holding his hand. His eyes widened when he saw the fresh burn mark. He quickly went beside Izuku and observed the burn mark.

"No you're not. Where did you get this?" The boy asked.

"My friend accidentally fired his quirk…" Izuku then noticed the hard look on the boy's face, "B-But I'm fine! It's no big deal!"

"It's a big deal to me. What if that friend of yours made the wrong move? Let me take care of it!"

When the boy's right hand held Izuku's hand, both felt something off yet welcoming at the same time. Floods of emotions spread throughout each other. But the other boy sensed Izuku's sadness and pain. Izuku then felt the fear yet the feeling of love and contend at the other boy. Then they were cut out from their trance. His right hand then starts to spread ice toward Izuku's own burn mark slightly covering Izuku's hand.

Before the green haired child could ever react, the other boy hugged him. Izuku's eyes widens when the stranger hugs him out of nowhere. It was a stranger to Izuku since he never felt someone other than his mother do this for him. Izuku tried to break free but the other child didn't even bother to let go.

"Um…."

"I sensed that you might want a hug." The child bluntly said.

"I- Thank you… I'm fine now."

The boy quickly moved out of the hug and gave a bright smile, "Good! I'm glad you feel better!"

Izuku blushed at the boy, "Y-yeah…. Thank you!"

"My name is Todoroki Shoto. What's your name?"

"M-Midoriya Izuku… nice to meet you."

"Same." Shoto then looks back at Izuku's hand, "That "friend" of yours is mean."

"H-he's not! It was an accident!" Izuku then looks at the ice in his hand in awe, "Is this your quirk?"

Shoto nods, "Yeah, I have another… but I don't want to use it though…."

"Oh…" Izuku sensed the tension within those words, "But still you're quirk is so cool!"

"No, it's not…"

"It is! You have two quirks, I'm sure that you'll be a strong hero like All Might!"

Shoto's eyes brightens, "Really? I'm a fan but I still vote for Endeavor too!"

"The top 2 hero!? He's cool, his flames are so powerful it scares those bad guys away!"

Shoto nods, "Yeah, and when him and All Might teamed up together."

"Yes! No one defeated them! They're the best team that I've ever seen in my life."

Shoto nods as both showed their smiles. The dual colored child noticed it and pokes on Izuku's cheek.

"There, you're smiling. That's good! And you also look cute when you smile."

Izuku blushes, "Y-you also look cute…"

Izuku then looks at Shoto, "H-hey… can I call you Shocchan?"

Shoto then blushes and smiles at the nickname, "As long as I call Izu, then we're even."

"Yay!"

"Shoto!" Two voices called from afar. They looked and saw a woman with white hair and a man with red blazing hair. Shoto quickly stood and waved at them.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Shoto!" Shoto's mom kneeled down and caressed the child's cheek," We told you to stay where we can see you."

"Sorry, mom." Shoto looks down.

Shoto's dad then caresses his hair and ruffles it a bit, "You're mother's just worried. But we're glad that you're okay."

The two parents then noticed Izuku hiding behind the tree while looking at them. Shoto took the chance and ran towards the scared green haired child.

"They're my parents, they're nice." Shoto held his hand out, "I'm sure that they'll love to meet you."

Izuku reluctantly held his hand as Shoto led him towards his parents. They showed their soft smiles at the sight of Izuku.

"I'm Midoriya Izuku, nice to meet you,"

Yukiyo kneels down and smiles, "You must be Shoto's new friend then?" Izuku nods, "Well, I'm his mother, Todoroki Yukiyo."

"N-nice to meet you."

Enji then looks at the boy carefully. Izuku fidgets a bit, but Enji smiles and ruffles Izuku's hair, "Any friend of Shoto's is a friend of mine. I'm his father, Todoroki Enji."

Izuku nods. Shoto smiles as he held Izuku by his hand. They were awed at the sight of Shoto and Izuku being together. "

"Mom, Dad, can we keep him? He can stay in my room?"

Enji and Yukiyo let out a soft chuckle. Yukiyo then answers, "I'm afraid we can't, Shoto dear. He also has parents that are worried for him."

"Oh, okay…"

"Speaking of which, where are your parents, Izuku-kun?" Enji asked.

"Um… my mother would meet me here. She'll be here any moment."

"Izuku!"

They all looked and saw a woman with green hair and freckles, running towards them. Inko saw his son with other people and quickly went near him.

She kneels down and gave the child a hug, "You're okay… you're okay."

"I'm fine mom." He then went out of the hug and smiles, "I made a friend today!"

"A friend?"

Izuku points at the Todoroki family who gave a wave at Inko. She stood up and went towards them, "Thank you for keeping an eye on him. I hope he didn't cause any trouble."

Yukiyo dismisses it, "No, it's fine. We just came here too. But our son quickly grew a fond with Izu-chan here."

Shoto nods. He quickly went toward Inko and bows, "I'm Todoroki Shoto, nice to meet you auntie."

Inko giggles, "Nice to meet you too, Shouto-kun."

The three of them also exchanged greetings and introduction as the two children are stuck with their own conversation.

"You must be a beta then Inko, I could tell it from your smell." Yukiyo points it out.

"I smell an Alpha and Omega. My, you two reallu make such a cute couple." Inko compliments.

Enji gently headlocks Yukiyo, "Don't be fooled, she has an attitude of an Alpha. God knows how scary she is when I do something."

"Keep talking dear and I'll make sure it will happen."

Enji wisely kept his mouth shut.

"But still," Yukiyo looks at Izuku, "Izu-chan looks adorable. You must be lucky to have an adorable son."

"I'm truly lucky. But look at your son, Yukiyo-san. He's a charmer."

"He truly is."

Enji knew that he couldn't join in the conversation, 'Women, sometimes can't understand them.'

He then lets his eyes at the children who are holding hands while talking. Enji smiles at the sight of his son smiling. He felt so worried that his son might be traumatized from the injury he received. But it made him feel so relieved at the sight. His eyes then noticed something bright. He quickly called the attention of both Inko and Yukiyo.

"Look." He pointed at the children.

They noticed the left wrist of the children slightly glowed. Quickly it dissipated, revealing the fated mark of the fated mates. The children's eyes were wide at the mark that was unknown to the both of them. The adults, however, were bewildered. Right at their very eyes, their sons found their fated soulmate.

"You've seen that too, right Inko?" Yukiyo asks.

"Yeah."

In order to knock the two women out of their trance, Enji called the boys to come over. The two quickly went towards them without ever letting go of their hands.

"Can you show us your marks, sweetie?" Yukiyo asks.

The two of them showed their left wrists. Shoto had the mark of beautiful angel wings. Izuku had a heart which had half red like fire, and half blue like water trapped on ice.

Enji observes the mark on Izuku's hand, "Izuku-kun, can you tell me what's your quirk?"

Izuku quickly panics as he hid his mark. Shoto felt the distress and held Izuku's hand, "Izu, what's wrong?"

Inko decides to answer, "The truth is, Izuku here… is quirkless."

Enji and Yukiyo's eyes were as wide as plates.

"His quirk didn't develop when he was four." Inko said.

Izuku quickly looks away in despair. Now that they know that he's quirkless, they'll give him the same look that others give. Then they'll avoid him like a plague. It will happen again. He will be hated. He will –

"I'm still your friend."

Izuku's eyes widens and looks back at Shoto, "W-what?"

"I said that I'm still your friend. I want to be friends with you."

"R-really?"

Shoto nods, "I promise!"

Inko then notices the couple smiling at the sight. She saw no malice behind those smiles. But rather, happiness and relief. 'Maybe, just maybe…'

They talked for a bit until it was the time to finally call it a day. Inko exchanged numbers with both Enji and Yukiyo so that they can talk and let their sons talk to each other. They exchanged their goodbyes and went on separate ways.

While walking, Inko notices the bright smile on Izuku's face. She could only smile in relief that his son met a wonderful boy and made a new friend.

"I like Shoucchan, Mom."

Inko nods, "Me too, son. Me too."

Yukiyo and Enji smiled and chuckled at their son who kept talking about young Izuku. Knowing the situation of both boys, they are eager to let those two meet once more.

"Mom, Dad."

They looked at their son and answered in unison, "Yes?"

"I want to protect Izu."

The two looked at each other. Shoto then continues to speak, "I don't know why, but Izu felt lonely and scared. I don't want to see Izu like that. I want to protect Izu and be Izu's hero."

They stopped as the two parents knelt down. Enji smiles and ruffles Shoto's hair once more.

"I'm sure you'll be, son."

Yukiyo then answers, "It's okay to be what you want to be. As long as we know that your choice is okay. We'll support you."

Shoto smiles and nods, "I'll make mom and dad proud! I'll also do my best to be Izu's hero!"

"I'm sure you will." They both smiled.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-

A year had passed ever since Shoto and Izuku met. They frequently visit each other at the park at weekends. But on weekdays, all they could either do either call at the phone or by video chat. The two of them could still feel each other's emotions and presence. Their parents explained about the mark which they can understand. All they know was that they are now close with each other. But the parents knew that the mark meant something more, but they're too young to understand.

A new school year has started. Even if Izuku met Shoto and it was the greatest gift he had ever received, Kacchan was still there, calling him names and telling him to stay away.

"Izuku, dear?" his mother knocks on the door.

"Come in, mom."

Inko came in with some notebooks and writing materials. She gave them to his son who carefully kept them inside his bag. Inko observed his son's actions. Izuku kept on caressing his mark with glee. The child may not truly understand the meaning behind it, Inko is just happy that his son has another friend who is kind to him. But she quickly became worried if Izuku's so called "Kacchan" would torment the poor child once more. Izuku must had noticed the sudden change of his mother's expression and quickly held his mother's hand.

"Mom, are you okay? Do you feel sad again? Have I done something bad?"

Inko smiles back, 'He's the only one I have.' "Nothing, Izuku. I was just thinking about your mark. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"Oh…" Izuku quickly sat beside his mother by the bed.

"Son, I… can you hide your mark from others?"

"Why? Shocchan might be sad if I hid it." Izuku held his wrist.

"I know, but I'm sure Shoto-kun will understand."

Izuku looks away. He wasn't sure about this, but it's his mother. He would always respect and follow her decisions.

"I just want to protect you, Izuku. Bakugo-kun might do something when he sees that mark."

"Kacchan was just playing around, mom. He would never hurt me."

Inko could only sigh. She could see many evident bruises of his son's skin when he would always come home. She knew that it came from "Kacchan", but Izuku would always deny it. There were times he would be able to hide it, there were times he can't.

"But, if that's what mom wants, I'll hide it." Izuku smiles.

"Thank you, sweetie." Izuku hugs his mother.

Inko secretly showed a sad smile. But Izuku hugs her even more, "You'll always be my number one hero."

It hurt Inko when she hears those words, "H-higher than All Might?" they both separate from the hug.

"He's so cool! But you're the best in the whole wide world."

Inko could only smile for his son. It hurts every inch of her, but she would do whatever it takes to protect her son.

-/-/-/-/-/-

"D-Do you really want to go to school, Izuku?" Inko asks as they were walking toward school.

Izuku silently nods without saying a word.

Soon they arrived at Izuku's elementary school. She didn't want to let go of her son, but she doesn't want to go against Izuku's decision.

She kneels down and said, "Be good in school, okay?"

Izuku nods.

"Remember what we promised. Have fun."

"I will." Izuku kissed his mom's cheek and ran toward the entrance.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-

After the entrance ceremony, Izuku went to his assigned classroom and picked the window seat at the last row. He avoids any eye contact to the others, especially since they know Izuku's predicament. Others just stare at him with pity. But majority with disdain and disgust.

They knew that quirks are a thing to be accepted in society. Even if the government prepared many programs for people with weak quirks or quirkless, there are those who still discriminate the quirkless population.

Unfortunately, Izuku is one of those.

Izuku chose to ignore them and took his notebook. He doodled a drawing of All Might in his notebook and re read some of the early notes he did for the heroes.

He ignored the fact that a certain blonde slowly crept up to Izuku.

"Oy shitty Deku." Izuku flinched and looked at the blonde.

"K-Kacchan! Good morning." Izuku tried to calm down but failed miserably.

"Never thought I get to see your shitty face in the same classroom."

Before Izuku could answer, Bakugo slammed his hand on Izuku's desk, glaring at the shorter boy.

"Just stay the fuck out of my way, shitnerd."

Bakugo quickly walks away when they all heard the teacher arriving. Izuku kept his notebook and didn't waver any eye contact to his fellow classmates.

The teacher and students both exchanged greetings. The teacher proceeded with role calls and Izuku aanswered when his name was called.

"Oh, there is also one who will be joining us. I almost forgot that. To—"

"Sorry I'm late, sensei."

Outside the classroom was a boy standing. Izuku's eyes widens when he saw who that boy was.

"Shocchan!" Izuku suddenly stands up and waves his hand towards Shoto.

Shoto gave a smile and also waved back at Izuku.

The other class could only stare at them with shock, especially towards Izuku. No one had thought of seeing the boy to be brightly happy. But a certain blonde eas already glaring daggers at the latecomer

Shoto then gave a folded paper which the teacher read.

"I see, well seeing as being late isn't your fault, I hope it won't ever happen again, alright?"

"Yes, sensei."

The teacher then points at the seat beside Izuku,"Take a seat beside Midoriya-kun, there."

Shoto nods and quickly went to his chair. But the small smile on his face is still visible, especially since he is beside Izuku.

"Hi Shocchan!" Izuku whispers.

"Hello to you too, Izu."

Class began with the two of them in the brightest moods.

-/-/-/-/-/-

Class ended quickly that what they anticipated. Somehow no one dared to even tease him. Izuku also observed that others are inviting him to eat with them.

But Shoto's answer is always, "No thanks, I'd rather eat with Izu."

The others wanted to say something but merely shrugged and walks away. They might not say something, but Izuku knows what they're thinking right now.

Izuku is currently waiting for Shoto at the entrance of their school. Shoto stayed in the classroom, since he is one of the assigned students in charge of cleaning.

Even if Shoto told him to go ahead without him, Izuku insisted that he wants to wait for Shoto since both of them will be picked up by their mothers in a few minutes.

He looked at his left wrist which was covered by a wristband of the same color of Shoto's hair, red with white. Shoto also had one in his wrist which was green in color.

"Hey, it's Deku!"

'Oh no...'

He looked and saw three boys who were taller than him. They were not Bakugo's friends, but they did worse than Bakugo.

Izuku was about to walk away but they quickly grabbed his arms. The leader grabbed his bag and messed the contents of his bag.

"Long time no see, Quirkless Freak. Never thought that we get to see your face in this school."

The leader threw the bag at Izuku's torso. The impact was a bit strong which caused Izuku to grunt in pain.

"Heh, weak, never thought you'll get hurt so easily."

Izuku bit his lip hard to not let out any sound that he's in pain. The leader however took note of this and was pissed.

"Let's see how smug you are when we punch you even mo—"

The leader and his other friends didn't get to move when they noticed something cold in their legs. They looked down and saw ice slowly covering them.

"What are you doing with Izu?"

Izuku could only cry in relief when he saw Shoto by the entrance. His right hand a bit frozen, but the trail of ice came first from his right leg.

His eyes widened when he noticed Izuku in pain. His eyes flashed anger and he lets his ice slowly covering them.

"Let him go, gently or else."

The bullies could only comply, letting Izuku go from their deadly grasp. Shoto quickly ran up to him and kneeled down.

"Izu, are you okay?"

Izuku nods, trying to hide the pain from his stomach. Shoto however noticed it amd glared at the other boys. The ice around them started to spread to the boys and Shoto's right side started to frost and his left beginning to smoke.

"Shocchan, please calm down." Izuku stood up and held Shoto's own cold hand. He didn't mind, but he didn't like the look Shoto has.

"Shocchan, please. Stop you're going to hurt them." Izuku begs.

Shoto then took a glance at Izuku, his eyes beginning to have tears. Shoto's eyes widens. He grasps Izuku's own hand and calms down.

The minute Shoto became calm, they both went near the bullies. He put his left palm by the ice and in an instance, began to melt.

Before they left, Shoto looks back, "Hurt him and you'll face me."

They left the fear stricken bullies.

-/-/-/-/-

"Shocchan you big meanie!" Izuku wails as he softly punches Shoto's back.

Shoto carried him in a piggyback ride, insisting that Izuku is hurt and needs attention.

"I did what I need to do as your friend."

"You could get expelled!"

"I'm not using my quirk during class though."

"But still, you could have hurt them!"

"They did mean things to Izu, they deserve it."

"Shocchan!"

"Don't worry, my dad can fix this in case of emergencies."

Izuku could only sigh and bury his face at Shoto's back, "But... I may get separated from you."

Shoto looks back at Izuku, a blush creeping out of his cheek.

"I'm not going anywhere. I made a promise to protect Izu from now on.

"B-but... they'll..."

"I don't care. You said you don't want me to be apart from you. Then I want to protect you."

Shoto smiles when he saw Izuku smiling a bit. There were pink tints in both their cheeks, but chose to ignore it.

"Shocchan..." Izuku began, "What's with your quirk? You have ice on your right, but there is smoke in your melt."

Shoto was silent.

"You also melted your ice... I was just wondering..."

Shoto didn't answer.

Izuku took notice of Shoto's silence, "O-oh! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ask... I... I..."

Shoto looks back at Izuku, there was fear and sadness evident on it. But Shoto answers,

"It's a scary memory. B-but you're my friend... and I know... But I trust Izu."

They then stopped at the spot where both their parents would promise to pick them up. The park where they first met.

They sat by the shade as Izuku noticed Shoto touching his scar.

"I... I was five that time. I was sick with a fever. My dad was at work and my mom and sister left to buy some medicine. They told me not to open the door to strangers which I did."

Shoto went silent for a bit, then continued, "I heard the lock and the door being opened. I thought it was either my mom and my sister or my dad... But I saw a man wearing black, with a knife on his hand."

"Shocchan..." Izuku replies, "You can stop if you want..."

But Shoto continues, "I followed him secretly until he went in the kitchen. But phone suddenly ran... he got scared... then he held something in his hand... then the last thing I felt was that hot liquid in my eye."

Izuku's eyes widens and proceeds to hug Shoto. The dual colored boy suddenly cries and hugs Izuku back.

"I-I'm scared of my left side... I'm scared of it... It hurts... I don't want to feel that..."

"Shocchan..."

Izuku then went out of the hug and look directly at Shoto. He wipes the tears away from the taller boy. Izuku knew that Shoto wouldn't calm down in any minute.

A thought came out of his mind. Izuku caresses the scar to which Shoto flinches. He slowly went near and kissed the scar.

"I-Izu...!" Shoto blushes.

"M-my mom told me that kissing it can make you feel better... I want you to feel better... so..."

Shoto slowly smiles, releasing a soft chuckle, "Thank you, Izu."
