Midoriya woke up from his sudden nap to his phone going off.
He turned on his side but immediately regretted it when he felt the sudden pain in his shoulder.
Quickly grabbing his device he rolled back on his back and looked at it, he froze slightly when he saw all of the missed messages.
Ochako, Iida, Todoroki, All Might , even Bakugou had been texting and calling him.
He sat up quickly, regretting it again as the pain in his shoulder only got.
All Might…yeah I'll call him first to let him know I'm alright…I had just rushed out without explaining anything after all.
He thought as he was frantically typing in All Might's number with trembling hands.
He raised his phone up to his ear and found that he couldn't calm down…his nerves were going haywire and he couldn't stop trembling
"Midoriya?"
Freezing when he heard the hero's voice, he had no way to respond. He could tell he wasn't all beefed up in his hero form at the moment and it was probably for the best.
"A-All Might…?"
What am I supposed to say.
"Everything all right kid?"
Should I just come straight out and tell him?
"Midoriya answer me."
Dammit….
Midoriya clutched the phone tightly and tried not to let out the sob that was threatening to come out at any minute.
"A-All Might I-I…I m-messed up…"
He couldn't hold himself together at the last part, he broke down, tears flowed down his face as he let out choked and painful sobs.
"Midoriya what's going?"
He could tell All Might was definitely worried, his voice serious and his tone meant business.
"I-I…I'm so s-sorry All M-Might I s-screwed up…i-i'm such a d-damn idiot…"
He choked out, his shoulders bobbed up and down as he curled up in a feeble position once more, closing his eyes tightly and covering his mouth as he lowered his head so his forehead rested on his knees.
"Kid where are you." All Might said quickly, Midoriya could hear things moving around on the other line but everything was muffled so Midoriya couldn't make out anything in particular.
"I-I'm at h-home…" Midoriya said in between small sobs.
"Okay do not leave your house stay there I'm coming over."
Midoriya froze at the thought of All Might in his house, seeing all of the things that'd be locked off, plus he still had to hide his knife and clean it.
"N-No!" Midoriya yelled without thinking. He heard All Might stop whatever he had been doing. They just sat there for a few minutes, in an almost painful silence.
"Alright kid. You don't want me coming over yet your over there bawling your eyes out, and you call me like you're in some sort of pain. What is it you want me to do?"
Midoriya sat there, not really knowing what to say, he felt like he wanted All Might to be there but at the same time his mind screamed no.
"I-I just wanted to t-talk…a-about One for All…"
A lame excuse but he was hoping All Might would fall for it, it must've worked because he heard the older man let out a loud sigh.
"What about it?"
Midoriya held in the sigh of relief that rested in his chest and began to think.
"I-I've been thinking a-and…w-whats the p-point of having it i-if I can't help an entire d-damn mall of people…"
He said quickly, it was partially true but not really what he was worrying about right now.
"Kid we've talked about this there was nothing you could've done to prevent it. He was threatening you and everyone else you made the right choice."
Midoriya flinched at his tone slightly, he seemed mad about something, Midoriya didn't even want to bother guessing what it was so he just reached up and touched the bandages around his neck slightly.
"T-There had to b-be something I could've d-done…"
"Midoriya, there was nothing you could've done. If you had fought back against Shigaraki, he could've killed you and God knows how many other people."
Midoriya sat there, he knew All Might was telling the truth but at the same time this entire conversation was just making him even more depressed. He had calmed down slightly but he still felt tears falling down his face.
"Now tell me why you had rushed out of class today."
Midoriya froze at the small question, he had almost forgotten that he had rushed past him.
"U-Um…"
"Don't lie to me Midoriya."
He gripped his sweater tightly, thinking of an excuse.
"K-Kacchan had s-said some…things…" He mumbled in no more than a whisper. All Might must have heard him somehow because Midoriya heard him sigh.
"That's no excuse to skip class young man."
Midoriya flinched at his harsh tone but looked down, tears falling from his eyes still.
"Y-Yes sir…" He said quietly, letting go of the sweatshirt and letting his hand fall onto his lap. He didn't want to talk anymore, about One for All, about Bakugou, he just didn't want to hear or see anyone or anything anymore…or ever again.
"I-I'm sorry for s-skipping class A-All Might...b-but I have to g-go call K-Kacchan to let him know I-I'm alright…"
"Midori-"
He hung up before All Might could protest and dropped the phone before hugging his knees and burying his tear stained face in them.
He felt an urge growing in his stomach, it wasn't hunger, wasn't fear or anger…it was the same monster he had been fighting for years on end…he was starting the same battle all over again. He might've won last time but…but this time…he knew he had lost. He knew what he had to do.
His hands trembled as he dialed the number and pressed the screen up against his face.
"Deku? What's going on?"
Midoriya hesitated a minute before speaking, trying to calm his trembling hands and voice as he stood, and began making his way to his room. He stared at the bloodied knife laying on the ground for a minute before bending down and picking it up.
Midoriya let out a pained laugh and finally spoke into the phone.
"K-Kacchan…p-please…co-come quick…a-and bring a-an ambulance…."
Bakugou felt his entire body go cold when he heard the word ambulance, his body just stopped moving forward. Kirishima and Kaminari stopped once they noticed Bakugou had as well.
"What is it Bakugou?" Kirishima asked, Bakugou's usual face of anger was replaced by a look of worried shock, scaring the other two boys.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth, squeezing his phone tightly.
"What the hell did you do Deku?!" He yelled loudly, there was a long pause on the other line before he heard a soft sob followed by a little laugh.
"I-Its more l-like what I-I know I-I'm about t-to do…" Midoriya mumbled lightly, giving off a pained laugh. Bakugou heard something rummaging around and had a feeling of what it was.
Bakugou's face screwed up in a mixed emotion of anger and worry.
"Don't move a fucking muscle from wherever the hell you are." He growled as he quickly began walking again, Kirishima and Kaminari following in confusion.
"...s-sure." Those were the last words he heard before the other line went silent, signaling the call had ended.
To someone else it would have been the last words they would've heard from the person until they saw them again and that's what Bakugou wanted it to feel like but…then why did he feel like those were going to be the last words he ever heard from his childhood friend?
Rage erupted in his chest and he sped over to a certain round faced girl, grabbing her by the shoulder tightly and whipping her around.
Ochako looked at him with surprise written all over her face, Iida had the same look as well while Todoroki's face remained emotionless.
"Icy Hot come with me, round face and glasses call an ambulance quickly and meet us at Deku house." He growled before grabbing Todoroki's arm roughly and storming off.
Ochako stared after him, her face now twisted in fear.
"W-Wait Bakugou what's going on?!" She yelled after him, Iida just stared at them both.
"Deku's trying to kill himself again. And this time I'm gonna step up and save him, not be the one who-" He cut himself off before saying the last part and bit his lip, as he continued to walk quickly.
Not be the one who drove him over the edge.
He thought as he dragged Todoroki along with him, his fast walking pace turning into a sprint.
"Exactly why am I coming with you?" Todoroki asked in his usual monotone voice.
"Don't be stupid, you're the one who told me after we I got back from Deku's place you had seen the cuts on his shoulder." He growled. Todoroki sighed.
"And you want to talk some sense into him but you know he'll be scared of you." Todoroki finished as they arrived at the train station.
Bakugou growled at his statement, yeah he knew Midoriya was terrified of him…but he hated it even more when the damn nerd wouldn't talk to him about shit like this.
"Sure, let's go with that." He growled as the train arrived and they rushed on.
The train ride was awkward between them, tension high. Todoroki may not have been acting like it but Bakugou could tell by all the times he would tense up at the stops that he was as worried as Midoriya.
Memories began to flood back to him, he knew it was because of what was going on but all he remember was how loud the wind was blowing the day he had stood up on the roof with Midoriya. How Midoriya's had cuts and scars all over it, and how much it bled.
Bakugou gritted his teeth, he didn't want to see that ever again…ever.
After about ten minutes they arrived at their long awaited stop and sprinted off, wasting no time to get to Midoriya's house.
As they arrived the two teens froze as they saw a large strong figure standing in his doorway. Bakugou was at a loss for words while Todoroki's face turned to surprise.
"A-All Might…"
