Darkness. Darkness everywhere he looked. Izuku choked as the dust floating around filled his lungs. He pulled at his legs once more desperately trying to free them from the rubble crushing them. Izuku couldn't feel any pain and he knew that wasn't good. Paralysis, shock, and many other possible outcomes were rushing through his head. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" He tried once more to use one for all to free himself but his body was too weak to summon his power.
It'd been an hour since the villain had appeared during one of his daily internship patrols. Izuku had never seen anything like it. The beast was huge towering over him. No matter how hard he hit him with full cowl he wasn't fazed. Izuku had quickly lost sight of the others as he was flung around like a rag doll before crashing into a building. He heard the tell tale sounds of the pillars shifting as the broken building started to collapse. He had pulled himself up and made his way for the exit when he heard a faint plea for help coming from deeper in the building. Izuku raced deeper inside as the screams for help grew louder and louder stumbling upon a small girl. "It's gonna be okay. Don't worry I'll get you out of here and back to your mom before you know it!" He had knocked the rubbish blocking the girl's path out of the way and quickly scooped her in his arms while muttering soothing thoughts as he raced for the exit.
The creaking sounds around them got louder and louder as pieces started to fall dangerously close to them. He could see the light. A wave of relief washed over him as he thought they had made it. Then he heard a resounding snap as the walls came crumbling down on them. Izuku in a last ditch effort to at least save the girl flung her towards the opening. He felt a wave of relief as he saw she'd cleared the rubble and was beginning to sit up as the darkness came crashing down around him.
Izuku went limp under the rubble finding it harder to breathe as it pressed down on his chest. "I guess this is where it all ends. All Might I'm sorry I disappointed you..."
"DEKU YOU F*^king IDIOT WHERE ARE you!"
Izuku's head shot up as he heard the familiar terrifyingly angry most beautiful sound he'd ever heard.
"YOU BETTER NOT DIE ON ME YOU LITTLE S*^T! I DIDN'T LOSE TO SOME LITTLE HALF A** HERO WANNABE!"
Izuku struggled to speak. His chest was aching terribly and it was hard to draw air. "Ka-Kachan... Kachan... KACHAN..." Izuku heard an explosion as Bakugou blasted away the heavy rubble. He saw a flicker of light as fingers started pulling away the rubble that trapped him. Izuku had never been so happy to see his childhood friends red eyes. For the first time instead of fear he felt hope when seeing those eyes.
Bakugou's arm encircled him as he freed Izuku's legs. His voice got softer as he checked over Izuku and scanned his bloody twisted legs. "You arnt allowed to get your weak a** killed by anyone but me, got it you little f*^ker. Let's get you to recovery girl." Bakugou gently lifted Izuku onto his back.
Izuku rested his head between Bakugou's shoulders. "Thanks Kachan. You saved me."
"Tell anyone little sh^* and I'll kill you." Bakugou growled. He got quieter as they walked on. Dropping his head he muttered barely audible. "Besides I may hate you but that doesn't mean I want you to die... at least not unless I kill you myself..."
Izuku couldn't help himself and starting laughing at Bakugou's pitiful display of affection. "Thanks Kachan, you're a good friend."
"WHO SAID WE WERE FRIENDS! I'D NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH A WEAK LITTLE S%#T HEAD DEKU LIKE YOU!" Bakugou screamed.
Izuku didn't miss the slight turn of the corner of Bakugou's mouth as he screamed giving away his true feelings. Izuku grinned as Bakugou screamed and cussed all the way to recovery girl. His friend may be bad at showing his emotions and he has a lot of emotional issues he needs to work through. Others don't see Bakugou's attitude and anger towards Izuku stems from fear of accepting help because that'd be like admitting he wasn't good enough to live up to all those expectations society had for him. Bakugou was weighed down by the fear of not living up to the title planted on his head. But Izuku new the truth. Behind all that anger and that giant mouth was a boy who was insecure about his status in the world and was learning day by day how hard it really was to strive to be at the top when there are so many others who are just as good if not better when your whole life you'd been put on a pedestal by others. He didn't want to fail more than anyone.
"Hey Deku you idiot you listening?" Bakugou snapped Izuku out of his thoughts. "We're almost there so try not to f*%king die on me okay."
Izuku smirked "Well maybe if you'd pull up your pants so you weren't tripping every where and banging me around I wouldn't bleed to death and die."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU LITTLE PUNK! DROOPING PANTS IS IN STYLE! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT BLEEDING TO DEATH FEELS LIKE!"
Farther down the road Kirishima was helping with damage control. He froze as he was helping lift a damaged car out of the way.
"What's wrong?" Kaminari called from across the street.
Kirishima scratched his head. "I swear I just heard Bakugou screaming."
