Mentions of suicide warning. For some context of this story a few things are changed. Izuku is more confident in himself and does not stutter much, Bakugo is just a ass and has repeatedly suicide-baited him in middle school. Izuku has been doing music since he was a kid when he was diagnosed quirkless a effort from his mom to get his mind off it. It worked decently and it turned to his comfort. There are no ships from the canon Izuku and Ochako are like siblings and there ok with that. Nobody from UA is being shipped with Izuku. Nejire and Izuku know each other from before school being pen pals and meeting up from time to time and talking about the bullying. This is after the yakuza raid and the villains have cooled down a little and are waiting for there moment. (I wrote this when I was younger and some of the songs musical tone do not match the tone of the situation, I focus on the lyrics) Thanks for reading.
First song
"Dont worry Eri its only a week. I am going to go meet a really close friend of mine in America, I made a promise to her and I need to keep it just like I did for you."
Izuku Midoriya said as his mother walked into the plane.
"I know… its just what if I have nightmares again?"
Eri sniffles and Izuku kneeled down to her and pulled out a flashdrve from a cord on his neck.
"Then this can help you, me and my friend made a lot of songs on here that I think might help. Just don't go into the file that says "farewell" ok? And remember there are plenty of my friends that can help you here. Like Aizawa or Nejire."
Eri gave him a hug after putting the neckless on and hiding the flash drive. She gave him a big smile and then ran back over to Aizawa.
"Have fun problem child, if I get any news of you destroying a city fighting an army of villain again your having detention for the rest of your school life."
Aizawa said dryly and Izuku smirked at him.
"Not if I die!"
he smiled and waved then closed the plane doors as Eri and Aizawa moved out of the way.
The next day found Eri turning around in her bed, she was in the spare room that had been turned into hers in the UA dorms. She woke up gasping as she clutched her arms to her chest the phantom pain of her arms separating causing tears to well up. She sniffles and clutched herself harder, usually Izuku had a six sense for this thing happening and should already be there but he was in America right now. She then felt something hard pressing against her skin and pulled it out, it was the flash drive Izuku had given her. She sniffles one more time then got out of bed, she walked over to the computer in her room, Aizawa had taught her to use it so she was able to easily turn it on then click the icon saying USB music.
Eri sniffles again as her arms started to itch, she clicked the first file seeing it was titled "Dusk till Dawn". She clicked play and turned up the music.
Izukus voice came out and it sounded angelic.
"Not tryna be Indi, not trying to be cool. Just tryna be in this, Tell me, are you to?"~
Izuku stopped singing and another voice joined him apparently his friend and Eri was amazed, her voice sounded so delicate and beautiful it made Eri completely forget about the itching.
"Can you feel where the wind is? Can you feel it through? All of the windows, inside this room." ~
then they started to sing together there voices meshing together beautifully startling awake Jiro.
"Cause I wanna touch you baby, and I wanna feel you too. I wanna see the sunrise, on your sins just me and you."~
Eri smiled because she could hear the affection they had for each other and she felt happy that Izuku was going to be able to see her again.
"But you'll never be alone… ill be with you from dusk till dawn. I'll be with you from dusk till dawn. Baby Iam right here, ill hold you whenever things go wrong." ~
Eri sat back in her chair as she listened to the rest of the song smiling tiredly imagining Izuku and the mysterious lady holding her like a loving family being with her from dusk till dawn.
"So… Eri what was that music I heard last night?"
Jiro asked cautiously and a few people gave her looks. Eri was currently shoveling forkfuls of pancakes Sato had just made.
"Oh? That was some music Izuku gave me for when I have nightmares. He normally sings when I have nightmares."
Several people dropped there forks at these words and looked at Eri.
"What! Midobabe can sing?!"
Mina shouted as she clutched Eri.
"How did we not know this!?"
Toru shouted as she hung off Mina.
"Hey Eri, can we listen to some of his songs?"
Kirishima asked calmly as the girls were still bickering about how they never got Izuku to sing.
"Oh! Sure! I know a song that should be perfect for you!"
Eri shouted and then ran to the Tv pulling out the drive. She plugged it in and started scrolling through the files but a few noticed the folder that said "Farwell" Eri found the one she was looking for and clicked it.
"Cool looks manly!"
Kirishima shouted as he saw the title of the song. "Feel Invincible."
"I wish you wouldn't let him do that to you he has no right."
said a feminine voice that sounded annoyed.
"Hey its ok, Iam fine and I am excited that we get to do this song I've been wanting to do it for a while."
the voice of Izuku said and a soft Goan of pain came after a soft smack was heard.
"Ok, ok. Sorry."
The sudden voice of a girl they didn't know got the attention of every girl in the building even the ones upstairs. Suddenly they were all next to the TV screen that just showed a audio line that started going up and down as a guitar and drums started playing.
"Target on my back, lone survivor lasts. They got me in their sights. No surrender, no trigger fingers go. Living the dangerous life. Hey hey hey Every day when I wake, they say that I am gone they say that they've won."~
"The bell has been rung, its over and done."~
The voice of the girl got the attention of the girls again but all of the boys were currently doing some form of work out motivated by the song.
"Hell yeah! I didn't know that Midobro had such a manly voice!" Kirishima said as he benched pressed the fridge with Yuga on it.
"Theyre counting me out, but this is my round."~
"You in my corner look at me now!" ~
They kept singing and the girls were trying to figure out who the girl was.
"Shot like a rocket into the sky, nothing can stop me tonight! You make me feel invincible, Earthquake powerful! Just like a tidal wave! You make me brave you're my titanium."~
As they got back into the courses the guys started singing along and the girls were waiting for the girl to sing again so they could try and figure it out.
Once the song ended Eri took out the drive and put it back on her neckless then ran out the doors waving as she ran to her classes with the principle. She ran and smiled as she did wondering if Izuku and his friend were making more music. When she got to the office she was trying to remember the name of a song that she had seen.
"Ah its nice to see you young Eri, how is it going?"
The principle of UA said his white cured hands flashing over his keyboard, he was currently trying to figure out the perfect music to wake up the rest of campus. Eri already knew this but this time she had a request.
"Oh! Mr Nezu! I have an idea, Izuku gave me a flash drive with a lot of his music! I think I saw a perfect song!" she said excitedly and waved the drive around.
"Oh? Very well young Eri I have to admit that I am curious about this."
He moved out of the way and let her get onto the computer. Eri did her tech wizardly and Nezu also took not of some of the titles with worry. Izuku was one of his best students and not just the next symbol of peace, he could quite literally have been the symbol of peace without All Might just due to his nature, and his kindness.
"Izuku! He nearly blew your arm off! He can't keep getting away with that!"
A feminine voice shouted through the speakers as Nezu was about to press broadcast. He hesitated though and listened.
"I know but what can I do? He has a quirk I don't, its as simple as that! They won't care… look I wish it was different but its not. Lets… lets just record this we always feel better when we do."
The voice of Izuku sent Nezus's ears straight up as he analyzed every word.
"…ok, I am sorry I wish I could do something."
A metronome started playing and Nezu almost forgot to press play. The title was called Running out of Roses
"Iam all by myself, seen this show like a thousand times. Its a side effect loneliness with no reply, in my mind I just keep pretending its a big ol lie."~
Nezu saw that a lot of the students and teachers who were still trying to wake up look at the ceilings and smile. A lot of people knew Izuku so his voice was a welcome, then they turned to amazement when the beat dropped. Eri was still confused about the beginning part but focused on the music.
"I miss them now that there gone, oh my god did we go to far, did we waste it all like we're running out of roses? Plastic cups did we laugh enough looking back on us now that everything is over?" ~
Nezu was still trying to figure out the beginning of the video and was starting to draw to a sad conclusion when the beat dropped in the song and even he was tapping his foot.
"Oh my god, did we go to far, Did we waste it all like we're running out of roses!" ~
Eri was young but she was pretty smart heck she spent so much time with Izuku that she started picking up his muttering habit. So as she list listened to the song she thought about the words. She came to the idea that Izuku was regretful of possibly wasting his time and wanting to do it over.
"All I know is what I shoulda said, And the life I lived, all the things I wanna do again. When the silence sings swear ill never let a day go by. Day go by day go by. Dancing on the table city, full of angels dreams of diamonds and gold. All the different faces, ones I used to hate I miss them now that there gone!"~
Several of class of 1A were talking about how Izuku could sing and how to get Eri to let them play his songs. Bakugo was just in the back walking alone as he scoffed at them, he remembered when that stupid Deku had tried to show him that he was better at something then him. And Bakugo grinned at the memory of a coughing Izuku on the ground as Bakugo stepped in his throat the look of pure terror a sense of pride.
Nezu was currently trembling at the picture he was putting together in his head and was now trying to figure out how to listen to the folder in that USB without Eri feeling guilty. He then snapped his fingers as a idea came to mind. Humans loved being lazily, he should have the hero classes along with the big three and the teachers sit in the auditorium and upload the music to that new AI Mei created and blame it on a bug when it inevitable fails and get to listen to the rest of the videos. He had six days to figure out the picture.
