Loveless

Wednesday (Izuku's official first day back in class)

As class ended for lunch Kaminari came over to Izuku's desk. Tokoyami and Aoyama had to be somewhere else and left class immediately. Izuku packed up his things and then stood up grabbing Kaminari's stretched-out hand. The class watched them in confusion and curiosity as they left. Halfway to the cafeteria, the duo was stopped by Ectoplasm.

"Kaminari can I speak to you for a second? It's about your math quiz." The Pro asked.

Izuku looked up at Kaminari who smiled, "go-ahead to the Cafeteria I'll be there in a sec"

Izuku nodded and hesitantly let go of the larger boy's hand. Ectoplasm gave Izuku an apologetic smile as the boy left. Once in the cafeteria, he paused at the door looking into the crowded room. A flash orange caused his head to snap to the left where he saw one of the chefs cooking with fire. He was putting on a small show for the excited students. Izuku's entire body stiffened as he took a step back. He bumped into something and quickly turned around seeing Bakugo.

"Get out of the way you mistake" Bakugo growled shoving him to the side.

Izuku winced harshly as Bakugo pushed against his still-sensitive burns. Bakugo eyed him for a second somewhat in shock. Izuku saw the fire, out of the corner of his eye, once again this time bigger. Memories of the past flashed through his mind making him nauseous. He quickly ran off just wanting to get away from everyone and everything. He ran into the bathroom pushing open a stall door.

He got down releasing his rather small breakfast. He kept going until his throat burned from the acid in his stomach. He shakily pushed himself up washing his mouth in the sink. Once he collected himself he walked out in a daze. He ended up on the roof and sat against the building wall. He pulled out a notebook and a pen writing furiously. Minutes later the door opened and Izuku silently looked up seeing Kaminari. Izuku looked at him confused as Kaminari sat beside him.

"I remember you saying you liked it up here" Kaminar smiled at him.

Izuku nodded and went back to writing in his notebook.

"What's this?" He asked.

Izuku closed the book sliding it over to him.

"You write music?" Izuku nods.

"Can you sing too?" Izuku nods once again.

"If you're ok with it can you sing me one?" He asked.

Izuku nodded and opened his notebook turning to one of the recent songs he'd written.

"Am I wasting my breath on you?"

"Feels like my words are never getting through, Yeah~"

"I never said I hate you to someone so much before"

"I'm lightheaded when we talk and then you shut the door"

"God damn"

"Like what are we still talking for? Yeah~"

"I really hope you don't see tomorrow"

Kaminari looked up at Izuku in shock.

"I tried to play nice with you"

"Cause all you ever do is try to fuck up my day~"

"And you were successful"

"But I know the truth"

"No, you don't have anything better to do"

"Everything you've ever loved has tried to escape you"

"So why would I want anything to do with you?"

"Fuck you"

Kaminari was at a loss for words and didn't know how to react.

"I've had....a bad day"

"And it's all because of you"

"I've had a bad day and it's all because of you"

"I'm not ok after what you put me through"

"Oooo~"

"You broke me. Fuck you."

"Fuck you"

"Ooohoo~"

(Song in the queue up top)

Izuku looked at Kaminari who placed a comforting arm around him.

"Was that about Bakugo?" Kaminari asked softly.

Izuku nodded, "was it.....bad?" Izuku asked quietly.

"I liked it, you have a pretty voice" Kaminari smiled brightly.

This made Izuku smile even if it was barely noticeable. Kaminari felt accomplished for causing the tiny reaction.

"Oh yeah, what happened in the cafeteria?" Kaminari asked.

"I hate....fire....bad memories" Izuku looked down.

Kaminari nodded understandably, "That makes sense I'd expect you to after...you know"

The door to the roof opened and Tokoyami walked through, he and Aoyama holding four trays. They came over, Tokoyami and Aoyama on either side of the boys, sitting down. They gave them their respective trays Izuku's having the least food. They noticed Izuku picking at his food and frowned.

He had been doing so well what happened?

"Is something wrong with it?" Tokoyami asked.

Izuku shook his head signaling it was fine.

"Then what's wrong?" Aoyama asked.

"I threw up...the fire....made me sick," Izuku said still picking at his food.

The three boys frowned and Dark Shadow moved to rest his "beak" on Izuku's head. He reached down grabbing the spoon in one hand and the bowl in the other. He scooped up a decent amount of soup holding it up. Izuku looked at him in confusion as Dark Shadow brought the spoon to his mouth.

"You have to eat something or you can't get better. Please?" Dark Shadow said softly.

Izuku nodded and opened his mouth letting himself be fed. He didn't want to be a burden and upset the only people he had. He started to feel somewhat better and slowly ate more and more. The three boys looked at Dark Shadow a little jealous he got Izuku to eat.

Kaminari took out his phone taking pictures of them. Izuku soon reached his limit and gently pushed the bowl away. Much to their surprise, Izuku ate a little over half the bowl. He is usually at 1/4 at most.

"What kind of sorcery is this?" Tokoyami mumbled.

Izuku yawned and laid his head on Tokoyami's leg. Tokoyami's heart fluttered as he looked down at Izuku's sleeping face.

He must have been exhausted.

Kaminari and Aoyama snickered teasing him for his crush. The raven-haired boy looked away from them finishing his food. Class was about to start soon but none of them wanted to wake him. They could tell he was more affected by what happened earlier than he let on. Tokoyami pulled out his phone sending Aizawa a quick text.

Aizawa dismissed them and Kaminari picked Izuku up. They made their way to the dorms going to Kaminari's room. They were now sleeping in there until their rooms were fixed. Kaminari picked up Izuku's quirk-canceling bracelet. He grabbed the sleeping boy's wrist and clicked the bracelet onto him. After what happened the other day Izuku wears a quirk-canceling bracelet in the dorms.

Izuku's afraid of hurting them or messing up Kaminari's room in his sleep. Kaminari pulled the covers over Izuku as Dark Shadow forced himself into his arms. The sleeping boy tightened his grip on the bird shadow. Kaminari yawned and decided to take the opportunity to take a nap himself. Tokoyami and Aoyama also lay down on the spacious bed.
