Hidden Behind His Music

Summary:

Shinso uses music as his way to get through life. What happens when he posts a video of himself singing one of his songs online -with his face out of frame- and becomes a viral sensation?

The problem…

No one knows who he is. All they have is the name of the channel it was posted to and the description of the video.

Notes:

I got this idea in my head and it wouldn’t stop bothering me until I wrote it so here it is. I’m coming up with stuff as I write so let’s see where this goes!

TW! Mentions of child abuse and suicidal thoughts

Chapter 1: Prologue?

Chapter Text

The house felt cold. That’s all Hitoshi could feel at the moment. Cold. The empty envelope with the UA emblem on his bed and the device with the hologram that had come from inside it, on the floor. 

He didn’t get in. 

 

He failed.

 

Of course he did. Who was he kidding? Someone like him couldn’t be a hero. He had a villain's quirk, that’s all he would ever amount to be. How could he let himself hope for a dream so far out of his reach.

 

Someone was laughing. 

 

Oh…It was him.

 

 A broken tune slipping from his lips that slowly turned into body shaking sobs. Tears slipped from his eyes fogging his vision, legs up to his chest as he gripped and pulled on his hair.

 

He couldn’t be a hero.

 

He failed and now he won’t get into the hero course. He won’t be able to become a hero and prove everyone wrong. They were right, he couldn’t be a hero.Nomatterhowhardhewouldalwaysbeavillainsoheshouldjust— no.

 

No.

 

He still has a chance. The sports festival. He just needs to win the sports festival and they will have to transfer him. Yeah. That’s it,  he just needs to win the sports festival….a festival where he will be competing and fighting against kids with more training and powerful quirks than him. No big deal. 

 

Sigh

 

He needs to start preparing for war.

 

And if he didn’t win, well…..

 

let’s just say he’ll never get to finish that song he was writing.
