Izuku had always hated himself.
More than others would think, but he wouldn't let them see that.
He didn't want to be labeled quirkless and incompetent.
He thought he looked up to All Might, he thought all the heroes were cool! He thought so many things.
He thought Katsuki Bakugou was his hero.
——————————

Sitting in the cold, damp basement, Katsuki struggled to keep consciousness as he could hear footsteps approaching.

"Is it him?"

His mind was running faster than he could process as the steps grew closer.

The door creaked open, and Izuku stepped in.

Katsuki could barley move but with what strength he could muster, he looked up.

There he was, Izuku. Looking as handsome as ever,

but he was holding something.

The dim lighting and the blood running down Katsukis' face made it hard to read Izuku's expression, but Katsuki knew.

He was crying.

Crying over a old photo of the two of them.

Katsuki croaked and spoke up,

"Don't touch that."

He coughed blood trying to keep his composure as Izuku whipped his head towards him.

Izuku wanted to take a step forward, he wanted to reach out and hold Katsuki's face. He wanted to just hold him.

But he couldn't.

Katsuki managed to look Izuku in the eye,

"You destroyed this memory, you don't get to hold it. Clearly.. I shouldn't have even kept it."

Izuku's heart shattered.

His breathing hitched and the world seemed to stop.

Nothing else mattered to him except the hot tears forming under his eyes that blurred the vision seeing the one person he loved.

Izuku was in a trance until a brief movement could be heard behind him, but Izuku knew who it was.

The hot breathing down his neck, the scrappy voice, the peeled skin.

"Ooo, you never told us about past history with one of the targets. Finish the job cleanly and I'll tell Stain you're our best recruit. We'll seal the deal then."

Izuku gagged, he couldn't stand being close to Shigaraki, and with the situation he was in, reality came plowing through like a truck.
