Loveless

Izuku and Sero walked down the hall hand in hand. He finally convinced Izuku to go out for some fresh air. They walked out of Heights Alliance and sat on the bench in the garden.

Izuku laid his head in Sero's lap as the taller boy scratched his scalp. Izuku closed his eyes and tried to forget everything that had been going on. A presence caught his attention and he sat up.

"Something wrong?" Sero asked.

Izuku pointed to a tree, "someones over there"

Sero looked over a noticed a certain redhead stand up to leave. Sero narrowed his eyes and Kirishima stopped turning to him.

"Can you all stop already? I get what I said was wrong and I'm sorry so leave me alone." Kirishima said frustrated.

"We haven't even said anything to you" Sero rolled his eyes.

"I'm tired of all the glares and nasty looks you keep giving me. It wasn't that serious and it's been weeks. Why can't you just get over it?" Kirishima turned to them annoyed.

"It wasn't that- are you fucking dumb? He almost killed himself because of what you said and that's not serious to you. We can't just get over that." Sero said in disbelief.

"It's not like I told him to-"

"You better choose your words wisely," Sero said threateningly.

"Let's just go back inside," Izuku said quietly.

"Oh look who's pretending to be all sweet and innocent. Iida told us about what you're really like. You might have them fooled but the rest of us aren't that dumb." Kirishima growled.

"You know what I'm sick of this shit. Sit your ass down." Sero ordered.

"What? I'm not-"

"Sit down"

Kirishima angrily sat down on the ground with a huff. Izuku looked between the two nervously. Sure he was hurt by what Kirishima said but he didn't want Sero to get in trouble for retaliating. Izuku just doesn't believe he's worth the trouble.

"You're going to sit here, shut up, and listen to what I have to say. Izuku isn't manipulating us into being his friends and turning against Bakugo. We chose to do that because we saw what Bakugo did to him." Sero started.

"What did he do the-"

Sero's glare cut off his sentence, "Izu come here"

Izuku walked over to him confused, "Can I show him?" Sero asked.

Izuku looked down, "Ok...I trust you"

Sero nodded and Izuku pulled up the large hoodie. Kirishima looked at the burns shaped like handprints on Izuku's thighs.

"Look at this, this is what he did," Sero said pointing at them.

"W-well even if he did those are old. H-he's changed now!" Kirishima said still defending his best friend.

"He changed, " Sero lifted Izuku's shirt to show the melted flesh on Izuku's torso " He did this a month before the entrance exams. That was 4 fucking months ago!" Sero said angrily.

"M-maybe Midoriya did something. He probably just h-had a good reason!" Kirishima desperately tried to come up with an excuse.

"Are you fucking serious?" Sero looked at him in disbelief.

"I-I just don't think he could do something like that. H-he could have got that w-when he fought Todoroki or during internships." Kirishima said in denial.

Sero scoffed and grabbed Izuku's hand, "I'm done with you, this is pathetic and you disgust me."

The duo left Kirishima outside alone as he cried, "It's not true...it can't be"
