CW: mentions of bullying

Izuku is not a popular kid. He tries to make friends but all the kids in the neighborhood make fun of him. They say he's ugly with stupid dark-green hair and hideous freckles.
2
He has a terrible stutter when he gets nervous, and it doesn't help that he cries so easily too.

When he comes home with bruises and dirt on his backpack, his mother asks him what happened. Izuku always lies. "I fell." or he brushes it off.
3
Izuku hates lying to his mom, so eventually he learns to play alone. When the other kids get invited to sleepovers and birthday parties, Izuku instead goes to the forest.
4
It's not too far away from their neighborhood, he can easily go there after lunch and be back on time for dinner. He stuffs some of his comic books, snacks and sketchbooks in his backpack.

He builds himself a small makeshift fort, from branches that he found around the forest.
5
He makes the roof out of an old Gran Torino yellow blanket (his second favorite hero!) that he stole from their house. And that's where Izuku hides his comic books, figurine collection, favorite pillow #3 and some snacks.
6
On a sunny day, when Izuku is warm and cozy in his tiny fort, reading the 3rd volume of All Might chronicles, a loud thunder booms around him, shaking the trees.

Oh no, is it going to rain?! He forgot to bring the waterproof cover for his fort!
7
But it was cloudless when he left home.. so what was that?

Izuku carefully slips his Edgeshot bookmark on the page where he's in, and puts his comic down on the blanket. He goes outside of his fort to check the cloudless blue sky.
8
There's no sign of rain or thunder at all, but Izuku finds himself face to face with another boy.

He looks a lot like he's 6 or 7 years old, so he's just the same age as Izuku.
9
His blue pants have fancy embroidery, the kind that can only be done by hand because of how pretty it looked! His blue vest, the only top he's wearing, is also adorned with it.

But what really gets Izuku to fall and be enamoured by is the way the boy stands, in front of Izuku.
10
His blond hair glows like a halo under the bright afternoon sun. His confidence is as grand as his red cape, lined with fluffy, rich fur, and covering the boy's neck.

He finds out later that his name is 'Ka-tsu-ki'.
11
But 'Katsuki' is difficult to pronounce for him and it makes him stutter terribly.

So he calls him "Kacchan". This name flows so easily on his tongue. He can say it all day without fear.
12
The first time Izuku meets Kacchan, he's also alone. Hey, maybe this strange kid would like to play.

"Well?!" Kacchan still stands there, expecting.

"Uh..." Unsure of what to do, Izuku scratches the back of his neck.

"Now that you know my name, what have you got to offer me?"
13
"I-I'm... we can p-play. Those are my All Might toys and I have comic books..." Izuku lifts the yellow blanket that drapes over his little wooden fort. He lets Kacchan inside.

He doesn't find anything weird with it. He's seen the other kids play with others.
14
They share their toys and books with each other, except for Izuku. As much as he doesn't want to admit it, that really hurt. So Izuku wants to share everything with his first ever friend.
15
He tells Kacchan about All Might, shows him the picture of the mightiest hero and his daring adventures. He's going to be a hero someday, he swears to Kacchan.

Meanwhile, he learns that Kacchan lives in a place called Yuuei.
16
He says it's past Andromeda and between Silang and Sora.

"They sound like hero names, Kacchan!"

"They were! They're named after the fiercest women guardians of the seven tribes!" Kacchan grins at him.

Kacchan likes heroes too?!
17
Izuku is not sure what show Kacchan is talking about, but it sounds awesome.

He asks Kacchan to tell him about what the seven tribes are about and what made Silang and Sora 'the baddest and smartest warriors in the universe'.
18
and Kacchan looks like he enjoys telling Izuku all about this show. Kacchan gets up and re-enact battles, describing the tense fight scenes and horrible tragedies.
19
"You've seen this yourself, Kacchan?" Izuku gasps, when Kacchan falls on the ground, holding his heart in pretend-pain when he narrates how their warriors were struck with poison arrows.
20
"No, but we have storytellers. Every moon cycle we gather around a great bonfire and they tell us the legends of our past!"

THEY HAVE STORYTELLERS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD?! What a freaking awesome place. Oh Izuku is definitely so jealous.
21
But Izuku doesn't notice that it's already so late. He's been so enamored at Kacchan's stories that his mother comes into the forest to look for him.

He groans. His mother will be very worried if he doesn't appear soon. "I have to go home, Kacchan. My mother is looking for me."
22
Kacchan tilts his head at him, "This is not your house?!"

"Oh, no! I live in a house by the corner of the street. I have my own room and I have more All Might comic books and toys and..."

"Izuku! It's getting late!!" His mom's voice calls again from a distance.
23
He pokes his head out of the yellow blanket covering his fort. "Aaah!! MOM!! I'll be right there!!"

Then he looks back to Kacchan. It's too bad he has to go.

"Will I see you again? Let's play again, Kacchan! I wanna hear more of your stories!"
24
Kacchan grins back at him, holding the pose that All Might does on the cover of his comic books. "Don't worry Deku, you will definitely see me again! The next time your moon becomes so bright and full, I'll be here."

"Oh you mean the full moon?! Okay Kacchan. I'll see you then."
25
Izuku leaves and runs to the direction of his mother's voice. As soon as he joins his mother, he immediately launches into the story about this boy he met in the forest. And how Kacchan is so amazing with his costume and the legends of the hereos that he told him about.
26
But... why does his mom seem to be not happy about it?

She gives Izuku that same expression that his teachers give him every time he talks about his dream of becoming a hero like All Might. Shouldn't his mom be happy that Izuku has a friend to play with?
27
When he gets home, he brushes his teeth and gets ready for bed. He looks out his window and up to the bright full moon.

There's another pang of regret when he realizes that this is the first time another kid actually wants to play with him.
28
Oh Izuku wishes he could stay longer with Kacchan.

- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -

The next few days, there is no sign that Kacchan is coming back. Izuku holds back the feeling of familiar, warm tears. There's nothing to worry about, right?
29
Kacchan said that he'll come back next time, right?

So izuku waits. He collects all of the coolest comic books and sneaks in more cookies enough for two, for when Kacchan comes back, there will be more than enough snacks for both of them.
30
Kacchan said he'll be back when the moon is bright again. That could mean when there's a full moon, right?

He still avoids other kids in their neighborhood. One of them got a new remote-controlled car, and they immediately hid as soon as they saw Izuku passing by the street.
31
Izuku ignores them. He focuses instead on counting the days of Kacchan's return.

According to their Science teacher, a full moon comes into cycle once a month. Great! He starts marking the number of days before the next full moon comes.
32
And to his little heart's delight, Kacchan fulfills his promise and comes back.

It was the day when the moon will be full again and when Izuku runs home after class, he goes straight into the lush leaves of the tall trees and under the canopy of his red blanketed fort.
33
When he pokes his head in, he finds Kacchan already sitting in it, munching on cookies and reading Izuku's comic books. He nods his chin at Izuku, "Hey, nice sweets! What do you call this?" he says in between bites.

Izuku blinks at him, "You don't know oreos?"
34
"Never had 'em before. They're so good." Kacchan takes another cookie from the packet.

It's a shame that Izuku forgot to bring some milk. He'll have to show Kacchan later how to dunk an oreo.
35
Before Izuku can sit next to Kacchan, he notices a cat with red fur, all curled up and napping next to Kacchan. "Oh you have a cat!"

Kacchan pauses mid chew to stare at Izuku, "You... you can see him?"

Izuku grins, "What do you mean? 'course I can! Can I pet him?"

"Hmm."
36
Kacchan ponders it for a second, and then pokes his cat. "Hey shitty hair, wake up. This is the kid I was telling you about." The cat cracks open an eye. It yawns so wide that Izuku starts to feel like he's getting sleepy too.
37
The cat slowly looks around and as soon as its eyes catches Izuku's stare, it freezes.

and then the weirdest thing happens.
38
Izuku swears later on in his life that he KNEW that what happened at that time was strange and illogical, but on that moment, his child's mind said that it was completely normal.

The cat speaks. "Er... it's looking at me. Bro, the kid is directly staring at me!"
39
Izuku gasps louder. "You can talk?!"

"YO, WHAT?! YOU CAN HEAR ME?!" The cat almost springs up. His red fur all standing up and his tail so straight.

"I told you and mother that's he's different!!" Kacchan says, seemingly unaware that his cat and Izuku are slightly panicking.
40
"I told you over and over that Deku is special. He can see us and understand us!"

Then he turns to Izuku, "Deku, this is Shitty Hair."

"Ehem, it's actually 'Kirishima'! It's an honor to finally meet you, Deku! Katsuki has told me so much about you."
41
Somewhere at the back of Izuku's mind, there's a small voice that says THIS is strange.

But somewhere deep in his heart, there's another voice that tells this 'voice of reason' to shut up and just accept it.
42
Izuku learns that Kirishima the cat is here on Katsuki's mother's insistence. Apparently, when she found out that Kacchan is planning to regularly visit Izuku and 'his world', she insisted for him to not go alone.

and that's how Izuku makes his second genuine friend, Kirishima.
43
In the next few times they come back, he learns that Kirishima is not really a cat, but he's something else. He only changes his form into something that 'humans can comprehend in their world' when they visit Izuku.

... or at least, that's how Kacchan explained it.
44
- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -

In an ideal world, Izuku would have stopped coming to the forest and meeting up with beings that obviously do not belong here.

But for 7 year old Izuku, magic and fantasy are just as real as the TV shows he follows every night.
45
And also, the forest doesn't call Izuku names. Here, he's not pushed around or made fun of. Here he finds genuine acceptance.
46
Under the protection of the yellow blanket of his fort, Kacchan reads comic books with him, shares his dreams of becoming a guardian or a hero someday, and even teaches him the battle cries from their tribe.
47
He spends the following months listening to Kacchan's stories or playing out battle scenes with Kacchan, as Kirishima sleeps in the corner of their fort.

These are the days when Izuku knows he's the happiest he's ever been.
48
On one particular "partly cloudy" day, Kacchan and him spend it lying side by side on the forest floor, eyes staring up to the sky.
49
It's always been cloudless whenever Kacchan comes over to visit, but on this particular day, it's the first time clouds start rolling across the sky.

This day, he learns an interesting fact about Kacchan's world.
50
"WOW! What do you call those white, cotton things in the sky, Deku?" Kacchan gasps and points his finger at a lone, cumulus cloud.

"Huh? Oh you mean, clouds? It's a cloud."

"Clouds..." Kacchan repeats it. "What are they?"
51
Oh he knows this. It's in chapter 3, page 98 of his science book. Izuku feels an urge to raise his hand, as if he's in class.
52
He starts reciting it based on how he remembers it, "According to my science book, clouds are formed because when sun heats water, water rises up in the air as vapor. When vapor meets the cold air in the sky, it turns back to liquid and then it forms the clouds."
53
Izuku inhales sharply to catch his breath.

"That's weird... and cool. I didn't understand all of it, but it's cool when you explain it."

"T-thanks, Kacchan." He'll never get used to getting praises.

"We don't have clouds where I live, you know?"
54
"That's ... weird, Kacchan." Izuku carefully replies.

A world without clouds? That's very interesting. Izuku starts to wonder whether it's because they do not have a way to heat the water on the ground or whether they don't have cool air in the sky.
55
But before Izuku can spiral into wondering about the reasons, Kiri the cat steps out of the fort and immediately hisses at the sky, "Whoa!! What are those floating white things in the sky?! They look like sheep!"
56
Izuku will never forget that he's talking to a cat, and explaining how clouds are formed.

- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
57
~ TBC (Hello! Sorry I have to sleep, I don't know why I'm up so late. But I would love to know what you think about it :D )

Goodnight, my loves!

CW: mentions of bullying

Izuku is not a popular kid. He tries to make friends but all the kids in the neighborhood make fun of him. They say he's ugly with stupid dark-green hair and hideous freckles.
59
When Izuku's next birthday comes, Kacchan surprises him with two presents.

The first one is a necklace with red stones. The stones are hanging off a thin, silver chain, long enough to reach little Izuku’s belly. Kacchan tells him that that’s normal.
60
They are made that long so that the wearer can grow into it. The red stones shimmer under the sun with a hue that's as red as Kacchan's eyes. It is the most precious thing Izuku has ever received in his life.
61
Kacchan wears something similar for himself, but Kacchan's stones are green. He reluctantly admits later that it's, "Because I like looking at your eyes, stupid!"
62
Izuku brings leftover slices from his chocolate birthday cake and he celebrates a second birthday party with Kacchan inside his fort. He remembers to bring apples and pears for Kiri the cat.

It's the best birthday celebration he's ever had in his life.
63
It's usually just him and his mother for his birthday, because none of the kids ever show up when they get invited. Someday soon, Izuku will learn to accept that.
64
When they finish the cake, and when all of the apples and pears are now in Kiri the cat's tummy, Kacchan starts telling Izuku about the second part of his birthday present.
65
"Deku,” Kacchan clears his throat, and he stands up, head held high with his hands on his hips, “Because you have proven that you are a true friend to me and my people, it’s time for me to take you to my village." He says proudly.
66
"REALLY, KACCHAN?!" Izuku stands up in excitement.

Kiri’s red fur all spike up again in worry. "Bro, WHAT!? The chief will kill you!" Then he looks at Izuku, "Katsuki's mother is the chief of the seven tribes and she's like, the scariest of the scariest!"
67
"Shut up!! Don't listen to him, Deku!" Kacchan is quick to grab Izuku's hands and start to lead him out of their fort. "My mother will never find out. We'll sneak through the portal, show you my weapons and my badges and then we go back before she even thinks about looking.
68
How does that sound?!"

"I-I would love that, Kacchan." Oh boy. To see Kacchan's village and the kind of life he leads? The same life that Izuku has heard so many wonderful stories about from Kacchan? That's almost like a dream! "Please, Kiri, we'll be quick.
69
I promise we'll be very careful!"

Kiri narrows his eyes at both of them. Izuku doesn't always take advantage of it, but he knows that if he pleads, Kiri finds it hard to say no to him.

The cat rolls his eyes at them, "Geez fine! But only for like 5 minutes, ok?"
70
Kacchan and Izuku nod and both raise their fists in the air, like they’ve achieved victory together, "YEAH!!"

"But I'm not bustin' my ass if you both get in trouble with the chief."
71
........
72
Izuku doesn't understand the logic behind magical portals, but he doesn't really care. He's with Kacchan and they're going on an adventure!

Kacchan presses his palm against a tree trunk and he whispers a few words that Izuku can't comprehend.
73
Soon, the green stones on Kacchan's necklace start to glow and float like they’re submerged in water, so do the red stones hanging around loosely on Izuku's neck.

Izuku stares back at Kacchan in wonder.
74
Kacchan seems to catch the question immediately in Izuku's expression as he explains, "The red stones you have are like, how do you call it, when you need to open a door?"

Izuku perks up, pleased at himself for always getting an answer right. "A key!"
75
"Yeah! If you have the red stones I gave you, you can always come to my world whenever you want to."

Right before Izuku's eyes, he watches in fascination as the tree trunk spilts itself in half.
76
But instead of light brown surface of a cross-section of a tree, it opens up instead to a purple sky with countless of galaxies swirling in every direction.

Kacchan stretches out an open hand to him, "Let's go, Deku!"

And Izuku takes his hand.
77
Maybe Izuku should have told his mother that he's going with Kacchan....

but it's only going to be 5 minutes. Izuku spends hours in the forest, he'll just make sure to be back before dinner time.

- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
78
It takes only the briefest of seconds, but Izuku swears that he's seen different worlds. It's like he's running down a long hallway, lined with open doors that contain different colored universes.
79
There are countless bright stars and massive spinning galaxies, all existing in their own little rooms.

And as quick as when Izuku steps in it, he suddenly finds himself kneeling down on a grassy hill, his arm being pulled up by Kacchan.

"Wow.
80
You went through that like a natural!" He says and Izuku smiles back brightly at the compliment.

When he looks up to the sky, he understands why there are no clouds here.
81
Because if there had been, then he would not see the pastel orange and dark purple hue gradients of a sunset sky.

There are six moons that he can see from his field of view, each one bearing different colors.
82
The rest of the space in the sky is littered with countless, glittering stars. Izuku has never seen such a fascinating and stunning night sky.

“Kacchan, it’s amazing.” He whispers breathlessly, for all the breath has been taken away by the view.
83
“Heh.” Kacchan grins, “That brightest star on your left is Silang and that one,“ Kacchan points to the right, ”That’s Sora. They remind us that our world is well protected. Come on, I’ll show you around!”
84
“Wait, where’s Kiri?” Izuku asks and right when he turns his head to look for a red cat, he is greeted instead by the flapping of mighty, ruby-red reptile wings. But he instinctively knows that this is Kiri.
85
Izuku should be afraid or intimidated, but the only thing he’s thinking about it, ‘Can he fly?’

“Of course he can!” Kacchan answers him and he pulls Deku to the dragon’s side. “He’s our ride to see the best places around here!”

- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
86
They were supposed to stay for only 5 minutes. But when the wind is carding through his hair and he’s flying at top speed on the back of a dragon, time or safety doesn’t seem to matter.

Izuku has never felt so exhilarated before in his life. This. Is. AMAZING.
87
“KACCHAN! WE’RE FLYING!!” Izuku shouts into the pastel sky, with his arms stretched out, like he’s the one flying himself.

What a fascinating world. What Izuku wouldn't give to be able to live in Kacchan's world instead.

- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -

- tbc!
88
Interesting fact: "sora" and "silang" are based on actual heroes!

Gabriela Silang was Filipina commander of rebel troops and Tandang Sora (Melchora Aquino) was a revolutionary who sheltered fellow revolutionaries at an old age.
89
