Shigaraki and Izuku continued to talk until it was almost dark out. "uh shigaraki..." Izuku tried to prompt himself to ask. "Yea kid?" "can I have your phone number since we aren't exactly strangers anymore?" Izuku finally asked. "Oh. Sure." Shigaraki pulled out his phone feeling a bit relieved at not having to be careful about touching it with five fingers. He passed his phone to Izuku allowing him to type his number in while he did the same on Izukus phone. "thanks!" Izuku smiled at the man causing him to blush a little. "well then i better get going." Izuku said stuffing his phone back into his hoodie. "need help getting home?" Shigaraki asked obviously concerned about letting a middle schooler walk home alone. "I'll be okay i promise to text if something happens! Bye!" And with that he was off.

Shigaraki: dont get hurt again on your way home izuku

Izuku: i make no promises 🤞🏻

Izuku came to a stop infront of his house. Fuck. Right there on his doorstep was Katsuki Fucking Bakugou. Aka Kacchan. Kacchan stood up eyeing Izuku.
"Where the hell were you nerd!" Kacchan shouts at him. "why should you care." Izuku replies trying to get past the angry blonde. "Fuck you! You left me after trying to kill yourself! What would've happened if I hadn't been there!"
...
"i would've died as planned?" Izuku responds casually. Bakugou froze. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" He shouts, his voice cracking. Izuku slumps a bit at the hurt in his childhood friends voice. "thanks for saving me i guess." Izuku says finally pushing past and going inside locking the door behind him leaving the distressed boy on his doorstep.

Izuku sits on his bed clutching his phone and pillow in an attempt not to feel guilty about what he put his childhood friend through, reminding himself that they are no longer friends and that Kacchan is a bully. He starts drafting a text to Shigaraki.

Izuku put his phone down feeling a bit warmer inside. He had finally made a friend on his own. Despite the fact he had to get 2nd degree burns for this accomplishment he was happy.
