once more to see you

The Pale Man

Izuku made the first move to move away from the other.  Kacchan seemed to have calmed down and frankly Izuku was devoid of emotion.
"Why do you care now?" Izuku murmured. Kacchan looked pained by the statement. Izuku sighed and stood up, walking to the door leading to the stairs down from the roof. He felt a strong grip on his arm and suppressed a yelp before attempting to shake him off. "YOU CANT JUST PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED!" Kacchan cried out. Izuku turned his head slightly towards his bully and smiled. "That's not up to you", he spoke before fully breaking out of the blonde's hold and walking away.

Izuku finds himself walking into a gas station a few blocks from the school. Grabbing some coffee he realizes the blood dripping from his arm. Fuck. Seems that the blonde's strong grasp of him has reopened some wounds, he wasn't fond of recalling. He heads to the first-aid section, barely acknowledging the pale blue haired man grabbing ace bandages off the shelf. In a daze of trying to find some bandages it finally hits him. He had just tried to kill himself only to be saved by none other than the boy who baited him into doing so. He crashes into the pale man, sending them both to the floor along with the hot coffee that had now spilled onto Izuku.

Izuku didn't flinch or react to the hot liquid on his skin, on the other hand the pale haired man seemed very disturbed by Izukus lack of reaction or movement. "Are you okay?" His voice cracked out cautiously to Izuku. Izuku blinked and looked up at the man. Realizing this position he was in he flushed pink and quickly got up. "I'm fine, I'm fine, sorry." The man looked skeptical noticing the burns and blood on Izuku. The pale haired man opened one of the many packages of bandages surrounding them and offered it to the boy. Izuku hesitantly accepted the bandages and pulled up his sleeve to wrap his arm revealing burn marks along with many scars. The pale haired man blinked in shock but decided not to push to questioning the boy. "What's your name? Do you need help?" The pale haired man asked, he may be a villain, but he wasn't a monster. Izuku remained quiet for a moment before saying "Midoriya Izuku." "Well Midoriya do you think you need medical attention those burns look pretty bad." Izuku looked up at the man to see the scars adorning his face and neck. "You're one to talk those scars are no joke." Izuku retorted, resulting in the man to be taken aback. "Damn kid you sure don't have a filter, you don't even know my name." Izuku finished wrapping his arm, "Well then enlighten me, what's your name." The man thought briefly about what could happen if he gave the boy his name before shrugging and saying "Tomura Shigaraki."

Shigaraki and Izuku walked out of the gas station together forgetting the reason why they had both needed bandages (other then the obvious burn that now adorned Izukus arm.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Shigaraki asked.

"Nah, I hate hospitals." Shigaraki nodded understanding.

"Do you at least want to come to my place and get proper first aid?"

"I'd love to but I vividly remember receiving a lecture about stranger danger in primary." This answer received a cackle from Shigaraki.

"You do you kid but that burn looks pretty bad, how are you not screaming?"

Izuku laughed a bit at that, "Not going to lie this hurts like a bitch but I've been burnt worse."

Shigaraki raised an eyebrow at the implications behind that sentence. "Ah, fuck it if the offer is still up receiving first aid at your place sounds great."

Shigaraki nodded and gestured for Izuku to follow him.
