As Deku laid on the hospital bed with no chance of making it out alive. As he laid there with an oxygen mask put on his face, he felt weak and exhausted. He had hope that he had done well fighting. He fought with everything that he had. He didn't want to leave his friends and his family behind. He wanted to push through and to keep everyone safe. He felt as if he had let his Hero down. He wondered if his class members were safe. He wondered about his mother. He wanted to keep fighting.
"He isn't going to make it." Deku heard a nurse whisper. He can hear sobs in the hallway. He felt people were around him. He opened his eyes to see All Might by his side. Aizawa stood next to him and on the other side was his mother. She had broke down sobbing as she out her face to his hand. He tried to move it to show is mother comfort but his hand shot up the worst pain he had felt. He winced and coughed furiously.
"It's alright, Young Mydoria." All-Might said quickly, "keep your strength." He had put his hand on Mydoriya's busted arm.
"Mom?" Mydoriya whispered and looked to the direction of his mother. She looked at her baby boy and put a smile on her face. She wanted to remain strong for her son. She wanted to do what his Hero had done; to out a smile on his face through the pain. She didn't want to lose her only son. But to know that her baby had followed his dream in becoming the world's greatest hero, her hero, was enough for her.
"I love you, Izuku."
"I love you too, Mom." Izuku gave his mom a small grin. She leaned over and kissed her sons forehead. She had said something that Izuku couldn't make out. He closed his eyes as he tried to breath. He wanted to move his body but he couldn't. His body could no longer handle One for All. He had used his body up. He knew he wasn't going to make it. Izuku began to cry.
"I don't want to die, All Might." Izuku panicked.
"Shhh," Toshinori came to the heroes side and wrapped his arm around his head. Izuku was sitting up, making it a little easier for him then laying down.
"You did well." Toshinori whispered, his heart shattering. His favorite student was like a son to him. He didn't want Izuku to die but he knew that it was all going to be alright. He missed Nana and now another friend was leaving him. He kissed Izuku's temple. He didn't want this to happen. He wanted to heal him. He was angry at himself for not being there. Why couldn't he save him? He wanted to save everyone but couldn't even save his son.
"I am sorry, Izuku." He whispered, "I wanted to be there for you. I failed you,"
"No." Izuku whispered, "You will always be my hero, All Might." He smiled weakly. Aizawa couldn't stop the tears from falling. His student was dying and he couldn't do anything about it. He had seen it happen. If only he hadn't blinked, the villain wouldn't have tossed Izuku like a rag doll. He wanted to blame himself but Aizawa knew better not to. It was no ones fault. This is what Hero work is. He came to Toshinori's side and out his hand on Izuku's.
"Your friends are here to see you as well." Aizawa choked out, "You did well, Deku." He turned and walked out of the room. The students of 1-A sat in the waiting room waiting patiently to see their friend. Bakugou was taking it harder then anyone else. He sat there with his elbows on his knees. He was still in his Hero Costume. He hadn't taken it off. Izuku's blood was on his chest and his gloves. He was going to rescue him. He was flying to Izuku, almost drained from the villain previously. There were hardly any heroes left. They had retired or went and hid like the cowards they are. If All Might hadn't have "died" then Japan would be safe again.
Bakugou clenched his hands trying to keep the tears from falling. Ochako put her hand on his forearm. She too felt lost. She hadn't stopped crying since she had heard the news. She needed to admit something to Izuku before...
She shook her head. Deku can't die. He had saved all of them and for that the hero cannot die. She refused to let it happen.
"Ochako, Bakugou and Ida." Aizawa stood at the doorway that lead to the hallway to Izuku's room. His eyes were blood shot, he looked worse then he had ever been previously. The three stood. Ida lead the way to Izuku's room with Bakugou trailing behind. Ochako came and wrapped her arms around Ida's waist. He out a protective arm over her. As class representative, he took it as his job to be the leader of the group. He needed to be strong for everyone. He wanted to help his classmates and give them a smile. He spoke positive about Izuku even though inside rage was boiling in his heart. He wanted to take care of the villain that had hurt his classmate. Just as he did with Stain.
"Keep strong, Ochako." Ida said to her. Ochako nods and wipes away her tears. She gave Ida a smile and walked ahead of him into Izuku's room. She saw All Might standing next to Izuku with his head on top of his. She can hear him sniffle and his shoulders shake. She didn't like to see Izuku like this. He looked like death had already taken him away. His body was mangled beyond repare. Old wounds had ripped open. His face looked swollen and bloodied. He had an oxygen mask over his mouth to help him breath. Ochakos stomach flipped and knotted. She took a step forward and let out a nervous breath.
Bakugou saw him and felt angry.
"Damn nerd." He muttered. Why wasn't he strong enough? He was claiming he wanted to be the number one hero so bad but here he is on the hospital bed.
"Deku..." Ochako came to his side and put her hand into his. All Might had went and sat down so that Bakugou could see his childhood friend one last time.
"Ochoku." Izuku smiled at her. He looked over and saw Bakugou and smiled to him too. Bakugou stood there not saying anything.
"Please tell me you are going to make it." Ochoku whispered. She couldn't stop her lip from trembling and the tears from falling again. Izuku squeezed her hand as much as she could.
"I don't know." He admitted. He wanted to get better but his body could no longer handle One for All. He was broken. Through all the warnings people gave him over the years, it all finally caught up to him. He didn't want to admit he was going to die, but he knew that deep down he was going to.
"I am sorry, Deku." Ochako sobbed. She put her face towards his neck and sobbed. He wanted to hold her and let her know that it was going to be alright. He wished he could hold her again. He wish that he would have been there for her. He remembered when she risked her life for him. Did he ever thank her for all those times?
"Thank you for bring my friend." Deku coughed violently once again, "for saving me." He said with his throat going hoarse. Ochoku couldn't hold it back anymore. She needed to tell him how she felt before it was too late. She brought her lips to his ear and whispered that she loved him. Deku's stomach went into knots and his heart raced. He couldn't help but smile like a goof.
"I love you too, Ochako." He whispered back. He used all the strength he could to lift his arm up to touch her face again. She quickly grabbed his hand and kissed his palm and laid it against her cheek. She didn't want to let him go. She knew that if she did, then it would be the last time. She was happy though that she got to see him and admit her feelings to him. Even though it seemed to be too late.
"You damn nerd." Bakugous horse voice made Ochako jump.
"Kacchan," Izuku was shocked that he was here. He didn't think that Kacchan would care enough to see him like this. Honestly, Izuku thought he would be happy to see him about to die. He didn't think that Kacchan cared for him. Either that or he had a weird way of doing it.
"I told you to become stronger then me." Kacchan muttered, "we were supposed to be rivals. We... you can't just... you can't go, Deku." Kacchan's voice snapped. He started to cry. He slammed his fists onto the mattress of the hospital. All Might asked him to calm down but Kacchan didn't listen.
"Why did you do it? Why do you need to be the hero?! I was there! I should have went to you in time! Your going to die and it's it's my fault!" Kacchan sobbed, "I am sorry, Deku."
Kacchan gripped the sheets of the mattress. He fell to his knees and continued to sob. Toshinori knelt down and put his arm around his shoulders. Izuku wanted to tell Bakugou that it wasn't his fault. Izuku couldn't find the words. He wanted to live for his friends. He wanted to be there for All Might. He just wanted to save others. He felt bad for not being the hero anymore. He didn't want to die. He can feel that he was starting to slip.
"I don't want to die." Izuku cried, "All Might I am sorry!" Izuku started to panic. All Might came to Izuku's side and held him again. Ochako held onto his hand and Kacchan was being held back by Ida. He was screaming for Deku to hold on. To not give in.
"You will live in with All for One..." Toshinori whispered as he ran his fingers through Izuku's curly, matted hair.
"Plus Ultra," Toshinori whispered to Izuku, feeling Izuku slipping away. His head went limp in his heroes arms and the line went flat.
Silence filled the room as they all witnessed the world's greatest hero pass away.
