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.
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.
He builds himself a small makeshift fort, from branches that he found around the forest.
Oh no, is it going to rain?! He forgot to bring the waterproof cover for his fort!
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.
He looks a lot like he's 6 or 7 years old, so he's just the same age as Izuku.
But what really gets Izuku to fall and be enamoured by is the way the boy stands, in front of Izuku.
He finds out later that his name is 'Ka-tsu-ki'.
So he calls him "Kacchan". This name flows so easily on his tongue. He can say it all day without fear.
"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?"
He doesn't find anything weird with it. He's seen the other kids play with others.
Meanwhile, he learns that Kacchan lives in a place called Yuuei.
"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?!
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'.
THEY HAVE STORYTELLERS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD?! What a freaking awesome place. Oh Izuku is definitely so jealous.
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."
"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.
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!"
"Oh you mean the full moon?! Okay Kacchan. I'll see you then."
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?
There's another pang of regret when he realizes that this is the first time another kid actually wants to play with him.
- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Izuku blinks at him, "You don't know oreos?"
It's a shame that Izuku forgot to bring some milk. He'll have to show Kacchan later how to dunk an oreo.
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."
and then the weirdest thing happens.
The cat speaks. "Er... it's looking at me. Bro, the kid is directly staring at me!"
"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.
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."
But somewhere deep in his heart, there's another voice that tells this 'voice of reason' to shut up and just accept it.
and that's how Izuku makes his second genuine friend, Kirishima.
... or at least, that's how Kacchan explained it.
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.
These are the days when Izuku knows he's the happiest he's ever been.
This day, he learns an interesting fact about Kacchan's world.
"Huh? Oh you mean, clouds? It's a cloud."
"Clouds..." Kacchan repeats it. "What are they?"
"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?"
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.

Goodnight, my loves!

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.
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.
It's the best birthday celebration he's ever had in his life.
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!"
"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.
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?"
"But I'm not bustin' my ass if you both get in trouble with the chief."
Kacchan presses his palm against a tree trunk and he whispers a few words that Izuku can't comprehend.
Izuku stares back at Kacchan in wonder.
Izuku perks up, pleased at himself for always getting an answer right. "A key!"
Right before Izuku's eyes, he watches in fascination as the tree trunk spilts itself in half.
Kacchan stretches out an open hand to him, "Let's go, Deku!"
And Izuku takes his hand.
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.
- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
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.
When he looks up to the sky, he understands why there are no clouds here.
There are six moons that he can see from his field of view, each one bearing different colors.
“Kacchan, it’s amazing.” He whispers breathlessly, for all the breath has been taken away by the view.
“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!”
- 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 - 🐉 -
Izuku has never felt so exhilarated before in his life. This. Is. AMAZING.
What a fascinating world. What Izuku wouldn't give to be able to live in Kacchan's world instead.

- tbc!
Gabriela Silang was Filipina commander of rebel troops and Tandang Sora (Melchora Aquino) was a revolutionary who sheltered fellow revolutionaries at an old age.
Deku is about to leap into a different universe! He will be ok, Kacchan will be with him. 🥺🧡💚🧡✨🔥
