Not so useless now huh Kacchan?

Too Late For Apologies

Inko's POV:

Today I managed to get out of bed and do a bit of cleaning. Great improvement since last time right? I think today is time for me to put Izuku's things in boxes… It kills me but I know that if I don't do it then I can't grieve correctly… so I take boxes and bags and start putting my Izu's things away.

"There's more All Might merch in here than in a store hehe…" I laugh bitterly as I put figurines, bed sheets, posters and clothes all with All Might in the boxes and bags. I move to the bookshelves and slowly take out the books he wrote for when his dream would come true… He once showed me a chapter only on my Quirk, it was so sweet of him. I think it was in the fifth book if I remember correctly, as I was reading through said book to confirm I hear a knock on the door.

"Just a minute!" I put down the book and go open the front door, there are two men standing there. One has blonde hair and years sure took a toll on him, must be an ex-Hero, the second one has long raven hair tied into a ponytail and it seems that his last good night of sleep was centuries ago!

"Miss Inko Midoriya?" The blond man asks. I nod, what do they want from me?

"Yes it's me what can I do for you?"

"Is young Izuku here? I'd like to talk to him if it's possible. " New pang of pain in my heart.

"It… It won't be possible sir…"

"Toshinori at this hour the kid must be at school, I told you it was too early to come over." The younger man says.

"No he is not in school…" I look down, don't cry Inko… Please don't cry in front of two strangers…

"Oh? Where is young Izuku then? It is very important miss Midoriya."

"He's dead… He died about a month ago…" The two men look at me in shock, looks like they didn't bother to read my baby's file through… I see a lot of sorrow and guilt in the blond man's eyes. Did he knew my Izu?

"I am so sorry for your loss, Miss Midoriya… We didn't know… How did this happen if I may ask..?"

"Suicide… He jumped off his school's roof…" I can't hold back anymore and just break down in front of them, my tears fall freely and my sobs are quite loud. The raven haired man helps me go sit down on the sofa.

"We are terribly sorry Miss Midoriya. We didn't want to revive the pain of your loss…"

"My baby… I couldn't protect my poor baby… If only I had been a better mother and seen the signs… My Izuku would still be there! He must have not handled the bullying anymore…"

"The bullying ?" The blond man asks as he hands me a box of tissues.

"He was quirkless… The other children always made fun of him for being the only quirkless kid of the school… I thought it was going better in middle school but after what I heard… It was worse than I thought… His own childhood friend told him to take a swan dive and hope to be reborn with a Quirk for the love of God!!!" I yell as I remember my talk with Katsuki a few days ago, he told me everything, every hurtful words, every action, everything he did to my son… I thought he and Izuku were friends… That Katsuki was actually protecting him from harm, not causing it!
"At least… He had one last happy memory before dying…" I take out a very wrinkled piece of paper, there's some dried blood on it unfortunately.
"He managed to meet his idol and get an autograph. He wanted it for so long…" I open the paper and flatten it as much as possible, it's an All Might autograph.
"It was found next to him…" The blond man becomes pale, very pale.

"Toshinori? Are you alright?" The raven haired man asks.

"Y-Yes… I'm fine Aizawa… I think we should leave. We've caused enough damage like that… If you need anything Miss Midoriya UA's Staff will be more than happy to help you." I nod and hold the autograph close. I don't need to show them the exit, the raven haired man gives me one last look of sympathy before leaving with the other man. I think I'm going to postpone Izuku's room cleaning for a few more days…

All Might's POV:

I can't believe this… That bright and joyful kid is gone… Have my words affected him that much? Did my words gave him the last push he needed to make the big jump..? Oh fuck I'm a terrible human being!! If only I had chosen my words more carefully! I've been so blunt and brutal… I just wanted the kid to enjoy a more simple life… Being a hero means you have to always think about the others first, always put their safety as your top priority. That's pretty much why I didn't build a family of my own… Oh Nana must be so disappointed in me…

"Tosh?"

"Hm?" I look at my friend and colleague.

"You are blaming yourself for the kid's death aren't you?" I look down and nod, I hear him sigh.

"My blunt words were the last push… Had I not said what I said he would still be alive… How can I call myself a hero when I pushed a child to suicide!?" I rub my face angrily. I'll bear the guilt of killing an innocent boy for the rest of my life…

"Yes you could have handled the situation better but what's done is done. And you can't change it but don't let it dictate your life now, people need you right now, you can drown yourself in sorrow when you retire and we will be there to support and help you." I nod, he is right. I can't let it get to me this much, at least not now… But I know that I'll never get to apologize to young Izuku… It's too late for apologies… I'm going to try and become a better hero! For young Midoriya!!

((yep no Bitch Might here I leave it to my good friend YunyaNiiChan who writes an excellent fic with a very funny Bitch Might XD anyway see y'all next chapter))
