AN: Warning there is mention of suicide and self-harm in this fanfiction. I have had this on my mind for some time now and I felt like writing it down. I know this is a dark fic. Please seek help if you need it. I in no way promote suicide.
As I stood before the number one hero, I couldn't help but feel like my heart was breaking. I only wanted to know if someone without a quirk really could become a hero. I could hear Kachan's words echoing over and over in my head. "worthless" Pathetic" "A quirk-less nobody" I looked down at my shoes as All Might leapt from the rooftop. My shoulder began to blister from where Kachan had touched it earlier.
I ran over to the railing hoping I would still be able to see where he had gone to. Though no matter how hard I hunted there was no sign of All Might anywhere. He was starting to remember how not even a few hours earlier Kachan had told him to take a swan dive off the roof. Maybe that's what he should do in order to gain his quirk. Maybe he had been thinking about this all wrong. What if Kachan was right and all he had to do was take a leap. He looked down at the notebook in his hands, All Might's signature scribbled into the pages. He was so excited to see that just moments before only now he grimaced.
All Might may have been the number one hero in Japan but in that moment I didn't see it. I clutched a Pen from my pack and began to scribble away onto the same page. I wrote everything that had been on my mind and weighing on my heart. All the times the other students had used their quirks on me. All the times the teachers encouraged the other students to use me as a target. All the words and names that I'd been called. No longer mumbling just simply writing silently as every once of hurt poured out. I shut the notebook as tears poured down my cheeks. Climbing over the railing I couldn't help but feel a sense of calm wash over me.
I stared at the rooftop my hands on the railing. Then it hit me like a weightlessness. Everything just seemed to be gone, there was no more fear, no more pain no more agony. Just a sense a pure bliss and calm. I shut my eyes as the air whooshed around me a smile gracing my lips. My mother would no longer be burdened with a quirk less son. Kachan had won, he was getting his wish. Then there was nothing. No pain no hurt no sorrow. The world was just an empty void of black silk.
-Bakugo's POV-
'Damn extras, I hate them all. I'm going to be the number one hero when I grow up. I'm going to squash all of them and show them I am the best. Stupid Deku thinking he could be a hero. Who does he think he is anyways?' The blonde thought as he sauntered home after hanging out with his gang. It was after all their last day they would be together. He could hear the sirens getting closer and he couldn't help the inner curiosity that was flowing through his veins. He decided not to turn down the alley and to continue down the street to see what the commotion was. It wasn't everyday that there was sirens and it being just a police matter and not a hero matter. He'd been hoping to be able to see his all-time favorite hero All Might. Man, what he'd do just to be able to see him. He tracked the sirens and turned the corner and saw people gathered in a small crowd as officers were trying to push people back.
He snuck over to the side of everyone and gazed pass the police car and instantly felt sick to his stomach. Someone had jumped and ended their life. How could they have done that? He couldn't see who it was because they'd been cover by a sheet. He looked over the scene as people crowded and whispered. The officers trying to keep people from disturbing the scene. Then he noticed the stupid notebook laying a few feet away from the body. He knew who it belonged to immediately but didn't want to believe it. How could he forget, when he had burnt it just moments before tossing it out of the window. Deku was annoying and quirk less but he wouldn't kill himself, could he? He took so much shit from not just himself but the other students and teachers. Why would he do this now. Then Like a ton of bricks his words replayed in his head. He told him to do it. He told Deku to jump. He was responsible. He ran pass the officers and screamed.
"Deku NO! How could you do this!? Why!" The officer grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him back. "No! Deku!" He was screaming as tears streamed down his face. "Son, do you know this boy?" the officer directed him to the ambulance and was trying to get him to focus on the questions. He couldn't help the screams that poured from him. Then a slight breeze pushed the sheet up reveling the green haired boys face. He was smiling his eyes open and staring at him. How, how could he look so happy. He was dead because of his stupidity If only he hadn't said those words, then maybe Deku would still be alive. He began to thrash against the officer's hold. "Midoriya, Why? Why did you do it? Answer me you damn Nerd!?" The crowd became silent as they watch the boy get taken into the back of the ambulance and away from the scene. He remembered being tied down and given a shot, then things became peaceful and he drifted to sleep.
When he came to, he was in the hospital his father was sitting in the chair besides the bed. He vaguely remembered what had happened and began to sob. His father got up and held him. He had an IV in his arm and monitors hooked up to him. He felt numb like this was all a dream and he'd be waking up in his bed after some time and Deku would be in the classroom with him. He wanted, no needed to believe that everything was fine, "Dad, what happened to Deku?" He pushed back from his father and watched as different expressions crossed his features. "He did something bad Bakugo, He didn't make it." His dad reached out to look at him and he felt like everything fell apart around him.
Then a knock could be heard at the door. It was the officer at the scene. "Son is it ok if we talk?" He nodded solemnly as his father stepped out a grim look on his face. He watched as the officer grabbed the chair his father previously occupied. "Look son, we just need to ask you a few questions about the boy this afternoon. We just want to know how you knew him and if you have any idea why he would do that." Tears poured down like open faucets. It was real, Midoriya really had killed himself. It was his fault and now his childhood friend was gone. He looked at the officer with a mixture of shame and pain.
"I'm the reason he did it. He just wanted to be a hero so bad and there was no way a quirk less loser would be able to do that. I thought he wouldn't take it seriously. I thought that if I scared him he would go home and watch some All Might videos like he used to. He was never meant to go and kill himself." He was shedding tears now and the officer just nodded. "Son, what you may or may not have done might be a factor, but we are also investigating the school and how they handled certain situations." The officer put a hand on the deflated boy. "Son, this boy may have taken his life but at least now the school will be held responsible for it." He looked at his hands in confusion. How could the school be at fault? "Midoriya is dead because of me, can't you see I'm the one that killed him!?" He screamed at the officer. The officer sighed and stood up. "We understand that you may have bullied the boy" "His name is Midoriya!" He yelled the officer looked surprised but continued, "but his mother insisted that the school should be held accountable and that, Midoriya would never have blamed you." He looked at the officer in disbelief. Was he an idiot he should be punished, thrown in jail and left to rot? "Why? Why am I not in trouble?" The officer looked at him in pity, "Because son, the guilt you have now will eat at you and make you a better hero."
