Author's Note: I had the most cringe and a squeal feeling after I published the latest chapter and to think I finished writing during Valentines' day. HAHAHAHA I read your reviews and I appreciated it, really. And so I'm back for another chapter which tackles about Izuku's feelings after the sudden confession from Kacchan. How will he handle it? Will he stay true to his real motive and purpose to change the community he'd been dreaming of? Let's find out.

Enjoy reading!

Burdens of the Past

"I hear echoes and whispers beneath this cold darkness, for this suffering, I must endure"

Izuku backed away from the two after he heard at his childhood friend that there is still hope and the fate may be changed. He'd been wanting to seek order and revolution for some time now ever since he joined League of Villains until he left in exile to do his way of purifying this unfair world. When he found out from his former boss that he had a hidden quirk all along, he tried using it to do good, but there were multiple scenarios that he couldn't control the demonic power properly resulting his body to get weaken. The worst part, the demonic aura will take over his body and corrupting his mind and heart, leaving the young man helpless.

He looked straight at Kacchan with a serious yet skeptical look on his face, thinking he would receive stupid answers after asking questions.

". . . . . .G-Give me one good reason I should regain my trust to this unfair community…and did you really mean it when you said I could still do good?"

He placed his hand on his chest before letting out the true confession.

"Of course! Hell, that's what I tell myself!" He let out a blush with tears falling on his face while looking at the green-haired villain. "It's because…Izuku i-I…."

Izuku couldn't stand the waiting from the ash blonde and so he shouted with his heart out. "SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!"

"I LOVE YOU, IZUKU!"

All Might, pro-heroes, police force, Bakugo's classmates, and the rest of the crowd watching the scene looked shocked.

Izuku's eyes widened as it like he saw a ghost in a horror movie and later a blush appeared on his cheeks. Though still shocked and a little scared by bringing back his new old side of him….the old Izuku Midoriya. It was like a dark carnage, a little lotus flower suddenly bloomed in the dawn which symbolized, despite the crimes he committed in the past, there is and will be a hope that he can restart again.

That love confession weakened his demonic quirk and it is one of the disadvantages and he'd really thought his power was limitless but it didn't. Therefore, the dark red aura and the wings disappeared, just him, staring at Kacchan with awe and later formed tears on his eyes.

"K-Kacchan…what are y-you…?"

Some sets of flashbacks…

After long hours of playing heroes and villains inside Katsuki's bedroom at Bakugo household, the two childhood friends felt exhausted from running around as the mother told the two to stop playing and get some rest. Together, they shared the bed in the room as Izuku was the first one to fall asleep. Katsuki, on the other hand, lied on the bed before facing beside his best friend. He mumbled and placed his one hand on top of Izuku's head, giving it a ruffle on soft and fluffy green hair.

"You nerd… when will you get your own quirk, huh?" He let out a blush while ruffling. "Things would be easier if you were a girl, but you aren't…..bastard.." He slowly moved his hand down on Izuku's face, giving a caress and cupping. "Tch…why are you so cute when sleeping, huh?" With that loud mumbling, Izuku suddenly sleeps talked and let out words, especially his best friend's name.

"K-Ka…Kacchan~"

With a surprise, he stopped on what he was doing and looked away, burying his cherry tomato face with a pillow.

"Goddammit!" He thought to himself…

Middle school…before being an asshole to Deku.

After getting into a fight, Deku found him and treated his wounds by wrapping around his knee using a handkerchief to stop the bleeding.

"I said I'm alright you nerd! I didn't even ask for help, you quirkless weirdo!" He huffed, but at the same time moaning a bit while being wrapped up his wounds by Izuku.

The green haired finished before looking at him with a serious expression.

"What? Are you gonna lecture me or something?! You are not my mom—"

"Don't act tough and hide your wounds…even if we're not getting along well, I'm always watching you, Kacchan~ You promised you wanted to be the number one hero, am I right?"

"Hmph! Of course, I said that!" He looked away, trying to ignore the lecture.

"Listen. Although I still don't have a quirk with me, I want to be a hero and save people too. From now on, I'll be the stick by your side and watch over you!"

While looking away and listened from the green haired, he grunted and later on let out blush on his cheeks.

"Why is he acting like he's my girlfriend or something?!" He thought to himself.

"Well then. Since I'm keeping an eye on you, you can't hide anything from me anymore~!" Izuku chuckled while Katsuki gave his few glances at his smile, his ray of sunshine that he couldn't avoid.

"Y-You damn nerd, get the fuck away from me~!"

Days after the sports festival, alone, he had free time to go to the local cemetery to visit his old childhood friend. Few minutes he found the grave and prepared a little set of picnic just for them. He placed a big sheet on the ground; bringing out some food from the basket: two bottles of orange fizz, a sandwich, and fruit; and of course, he brought out his gold medal from his pocket which he earned during the festival. He started talking in front of the grave.

"Hey, you nerd. Here's the medal I promised. You should've been in my position right now because….because without you, this award would be worthless so I'm just giving it to you…I don't need it."

He placed it on top of the grave before continued talking about his experience during the sports festival. He mentioned about his classmate's quirks and styles of fighting especially his rival, Todoroki and Katsuki wished that Izuku could meet him personally if he was still alive.

After a short conversation which lasted a half an hour, he stood up, stared, and formed a tear on his eyes as he remembered again his mistakes in the past.

"I wish….I wish I could've saved you, Izuku… We could be classmates at U.A if you were still alive and breathing! I-I didn't even tell my true feelings towards you…you goddamn nerd!"

Present

Tears falling on the ground while looking at his stained hands talking to himself.

"Why? Why am I seeing things? K-Kacchan really cared for me? H-How come I've just seen this now?"

Love?

That kind of love he didn't feel since he got revived by All For One. The only 'love' he cared about was love for power, love for revenge, and love for vengeance against society. And upon seeing Katsuki's mixed visions with him in the past, he finally saw what true love is.

Katsuki slowly approached at the confused Deku as he offered him a hand. "D-Deku…p-please, come home…come back to me as there's still a chance to change yourself….we can still fix this!"

Izuku slowly looked at the hand and let out his soft voice, the voice from the past and it sounded like an old Izuku.

"Kacchan?"

He wanted to offer his hand on the other, he really does, but for those who did not know it, his heart had started to throb in pain, resulting him to bow down his knees on the ground and grabbed his chest tightly before coughing out dark red blood.

"Deku?! What's happening?!"

"Young Bakugo, get back!" All Might commanded his student as Katsuki complied.

He looked shocked in horror as he wanted to come even nearer to help him but was told by All Might to back away for they do not know what will happen next.

He'd never felt this kind of pain, agony, and the corruption before as the young man later on hearing voices and visions of dark memories inside his head. The crimes he committed in the past with the League of Villains and one murder incident where he saved the young boy's life from a villain…a villain where used to work within the same organization.

Your secrets are safe with me, Izuku Midoriya. Remember that kindness~

I've never seen this powerful quirk of yours, Izuku! Seriously, that was sick. You won't be touched nor hurt you with that destructive power! You earned it, show them what you really are!

KILLING ME WON'T BRING THE BOY'S PARENTS BACK! MY BLOOD IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW!

Let me show you your error, Izuku! You are not worthy of Ascension my boss gave life to you! You are not even worthy of the worms!

"M-My head…Not now…no…no…NOOO!"

His demonic red aura started to rise again as he screamed his heart out, unable to control his quirk properly as it started to succumb him mercilessly. He suddenly unleashed one of his forbidden demon quirk, but in a partial form. Black raven wings appeared and spread on back of his body as veins on parts of his body started to grow. (Demon Quirk: Demonic Ascension)

The corrupted Izuku shouted…"T-This is not even…my final form..! AAARRGHH!"

"DEKUUUU!"

"Restrain the young boy at once!" All Might shouted.

Without hesitation, All Might commanded his fellow pro-heroes to charge at the villain with full force. Kamui Woods and Best Jeanist activated their quirks to restrain Izuku using wood and fiber threads. Edgeshot pierced the villain's pressure points using his foldabody, making him immobile and surprisingly, Eraserhead joined as he used his quirk to nullify Izuku's quirk by looking, resulting to stop his full transformation and later on went back to his normal state.

The demonic form slowly faded away as he fell on the ground, immobile and paralyzed from different quirks he received by pro-heroes. He felt numbness all over his body and lost consciousness except his faint eyes looking at All Might and his childhood friend, whispering words..

"K-Kacchan…please…h-help me…" He let out his final words before losing consciousness.

Katsuki could read Deku's lips as he told All Might that he really needed help, pleading the hero to save him from the shackles in the dark.

The fight ended as the crowd was still unsure if their city is still safe despite what happened. Police force told them to go home while Bakugo and his classmates were still at the coast, they all couldn't able to react because the situation flew fast and escalated so quickly. Ambulances and police reinforcements immediately rushed towards the unconscious villain and placed him on a stretcher before putting him inside the ambulance vehicle.

One week later

The fight between the hero and the rebel who attempted to make a revolution at the coast spread like wildfire, not just in Japan but also to international media. Newspapers, tabloids, and dozens of online articles were published everywhere and mostly featured All Might, Izuku, and a U.A. student who jumped in the scene where he confessed his feelings at the villain: Katsuki. Meanwhile, at U.A, the administration told their students not to harass the ash blonde by asking personal questions about his relationship at Midoriya and once they see one student, automatically they'd get suspended or even give after-school detention to attend cram subjects.

Izuku, on the other hand, was placed in a hospital arrest in a private ward at Musutafu medical center where he is heavily guarded and watched by the police force and two pro-heroes outside of his room. He finally regained consciousness after 7 days of coma in an intensive care unit where during the day he passed out, he suffered blood loss and oxygen after the sudden transformation. He still couldn't able to sit up on his bed, instead, he slowly looked around the room, a basket of fruits placed beside him with a note. The writing on the paper looked familiar and later realized that the penmanship was his mother.

Izuku, my baby.

I missed you so much, my Izuku and I hope you can read this note once you're awake.

I really don't know how you brought back to life but….

I'm ready to tell you the truth I have kept in years.

What was she saying? Is it something about the medical tests I underwent when I was a little kid?

"M-Mother? Could it be true?" Izuku slowly shook his head upon reading the note and later on placed his hand on his forehead, muttering words. "Y-You've been lying all along? What All For One said to me was right? M-Mom….why? How could you do this to me—" He felt a sting on his head as it felt like a painful migraine.. "A-Ahhh-!" His painful moan heard by the guards and a nurse outside of his room as they hurriedly check on him before giving a treatment to calm him down. One nurse gave him a little dosage of relaxant to relieve the headache as Izuku begging with a whisper and looked at people that surround him.

"M-Mother….I-I need to see my…mom…p-please~"

Away from Musutafu…

A small boy wearing a white collared shirt with buttons, dark shorts, black boots and a hat with golden, spike-shaped horns on the front came forward at the nearest police station. He was not alone and was assisted by his last known relatives of his deceased parents, the Wild Wild Pussycats. They walked straight through the police front desk as the young boy with a nervous look shouted at the police in a brave manner, wanting to be a witness.

"B-Big brother Izuku is innocent!"
