Waving Through A Window

Summary:

Based on the song Waving Through A Window from Dear Evan Hanson & almost every TikTok where Midoriya goes mute...

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

--- OR ---

Izu-kun realizes that quirkless don't have a voice

Izuku realizes that people in his middle school don't like him talking.

Midoriya realizes that people in his class think his mumbling is creepy.

Deku realizes that he must be quiet to make others happy.

Everyone else doesn’t realize that he stops talking until they do.

Chapter 0: Prologue: We start believing that we belong...

Chapter Text

“Kacchan!”

 

“Yeah, Izu-kun?”

 

Kacchan Katsuki turns around and smiles.

 

“Come on! Let’s go play Heroes and Villains!            agreed to be the villains and innocents! Come on!”

 

“You worthless Deku! You? Get into UA? You’d have better luck taking a swan dive off a roof and praying for a quirk in your next life”

 

“I’m coming, Izu-kun! Damn Deku, stop telling me what to do!

 

Izuku Deku drags Kacchan Katsuki , leading him to another group of kids. “O-kay! Game starts now!”

 

The future abusers children start joyfully screaming, scattering around the playground.

 

“3… Come on Deku, admit it, you cheated

 

“2… Don’t test me Useless!

 

“1… This is your last chance!

 

“Villain scum! Me and my partner Izu-kun are I’m gonna get you, damn Deku!

 

More screams arose from the children- "Stop it Kacchan! It hurts!" -, followed by laughter, as they were tagged by the hero duo. Footsteps were scattered across the playground. Somehow, Izuku Deku managed to get all the others to join the game. His innocence covered his face, much like his freckles. “but never his scars… they made sure no one would notice” “Alright kids, you’ve had your fun! It’s naptime!”

 

The teacher stands in front of the door, arms crossed and a small smile slathered on their lips. “Mx.           ! Come on! Join us!”

 

They chuckle and concede, “Alright, 5 more minutes, then we have to take a nap so you can grow big and strong!”

 

“There’s no way you’ll ever be strong enough to be a hero. You would just be a liability. How about doing !#^$#*$& instead?”

 

Cheers echo across the playground as the game resumes, their teacher acting as a villain and chasing the others around. “I’m gonna get you!”

Notes:

So... how'd y'all like this chapter? Yes, its technically a prologue. Feel free to critique, but don't pressure me to write; I usually get writer's block quickly and stop writing.
