once more to see you

Jump!

"Just pray you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof of the building."

you know what. fine.

Izuku Midoriya made a decision. He was sick and tired of bullies like Kacchan preying on his weakness, being quirkless. It's not like he could fucking control it.

So with a silent nod he got up from his desk, left kacchan and his friends laughing, and made a beeline for the roof. In the back of his head he could hear some muffled yelling from Kacchan, something about "how dare you ignore me", not that izuku minded, his mind was clouded with other thoughts. No footsteps could be heard behind him. No one was coming to stop him, not that he expected anyone would.

As he stood on that rooftop the air felt dirty in his lungs. he was fed up. fed up with life, fed up with bullies, and fed up with being quirkless.   as he reached the edge it seemed instinctual to jump. the perfect solution. Just as he stepped off he felt... relief. Only to have had that relief ripped from his hands. He had stopped falling. Was he dead? He opened his eyes to see that he was in fact alive and somehow back on the roof. He couldn't piece it together til he felt his wrists were sore and Kacchan was on the roof too seemingly shaking and exhausted. "Oh for fucks sake" Izuku groaned.

Kacchan looked up at him with terrified eyes. Upon seeing him Izuku closed his eyes, he didn't want to see it. The fear in the eyes of his bully set him on edge. "What the fuck do you mean whining like that, i just saved you." Bakugou yelled. "Bitch i wasn't trying to get saved obviously." Izuku rebutted. He looked back at the edge of the building hoping this was some sort of nightmare, where he was saved by Bakugou Fucking Katsuki. "Oh no you don't" Kacchan snarked, grabbing Izuku. The force all but made the boy lose his balance. Izuku looked back at the blonde thinking that his attitude seemed too normal, maybe he really didn't care, maybe that look in his eyes was some sort of illusion. Instead his thoughts were met by a look that was chilling, his childhood best friend was staring at him with eyes that were screaming in guilt and fear and on the brink of tears. He could tell the attitude was a front. He felt Kacchan's grip tighten and decided to sit down. With that action the blonde pulled him in and wouldn't let go.

After staying like that for what seemed like forever the angry blonde pulled Izuku off himself and held him in front of him so they were seeing eye to eye. Izuku avoided making eye contact. "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU TRYING TO DO" Kacchan shouted. Izuku let out a heavy sigh "trying to 'be born with a quirk'". "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BEING DETERMINED TO BE THE FIRST QUIRKLESS HERO" The blonde cried out. This stung. "oh for fucks sake Kacchan, we both knew that it would never happened." He paused, "I should be asking what happened to you. why are you only showing your support now? DID IT REALLY HAVE TO COME TO ME TRYING TO KILL MYSELF FOR YOU TO FINALLY SHOW YOU CARE?" Kacchan looked flabbergasted. "Save it. I don't wanna hear any half assed apologies out of pity. Please just pretend this didn't happen and leave me alone." "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO IGNORE THAT YOU TRIED TO KILL YOURSELF?" "easy. same way you could tell me to." With that Kacchan let out a suppressed cry. "Please. Don't walk away." In that moment guilt fell over Izuku. Sure he was fed up with bullies but he didn't want them to feel this- guilty. He thought about how much worse Kacchan eyes would look if he had actually died. "ok." And with that the two boys laid in each other's warmth suppressing their urges to scream.
