Funeral for the NOT Dead Deku

Chapter 1: Apparently I'm Dead But I am here

"Look Izuku! They're broadcasting your funeral!" A certain blonde said. "What?" A very drugged Izuku Midoriya said. A voice came out of the phone and Toga turned it around. Aizawa-sensei had wet streaks coming down his face as he spoke.

"...Most of you knew Deku... the hero with an endless smile..." Wait. I'm not dead. "They don't know that silly! Aren't they so sweet?"

"...But to us, he was more than that.. He was hope..."

"But I'm right here!" He slurred. Toga giggled. "Obviously!" She sing-songed.

The video went through each of class 1-A, all in various stages of shock and grief. Todoroki was as stoic as ever. But his eyes were red and puffy. Tear tracks went down his cheeks, his hair was slick back; it had grown a lot and he never cut it since Izuku said it looked nice.

"He was more than a classmate, a peer, or even a friend." Aizawa-Sensei's voice choked out.

Kirishima hadn't even tried to gel his hair up. Or did he use his quirk to keep it up? That didn't matter right now. He was wiping some of his tears off his face, his wet hair sticking to his cheeks.

"He was one of us, our family."

Iida wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was crying. Tears were pouring out of his eye. His expression never wavered though. A thin frown. Not the same frown he used when one of his classmates was late though. It was different.

"And just like family, that damn kid did whatever it took to keep us safe..."

Jirou had her hair up in a bun, most likely done by Momo, with her love of doing others hair. On nights that Izuku knew she needed a break, he went down and asked her to do his hair, he would talk and she would listen. The anxiety slowly draining out of them.

"As selfless as he was, that smile never faltered. Not once."

Izuku was also crying. The drugs were wearing off at this point and he was slowly getting his bearings.

Kaminari always had trouble controlling his emotions which made his quirk act up. His tears were electric and it looked like he was trying to smile but it came out as a grimace.

Uraraka, one of Izuku's closest friends, was looking up trying to keep her tears in but ultimately failing. Her smile was so wobbly.

"He was more than what you knew as "Deku"

Toga's eyes were wide, obviously not expecting how much tears came out of Izuku. He could definitely flood the place if he tried.

"His name was Izuku Midoriya"

"And he was my Problem Child"
The video cut to a picture of his smiling face.

"And to some he was everything..."

The video broke to his beloved Kacchan. He was holding a damaged and weathered notebook. '#18'. Kacchan started crying.

Koda who had lost everything and now he had lost his favorite hero was angry. He was glaring at the ground. He ran to his Aunties arms crying. His red shoes were bright against his black attire.

Another face that stood out in the crowd. Eri. Poor, poor sweet, sweet Eri. She never had anything until Deku. She adored him. Izuku would have to give her a big hug if he got out. When. not if, when. Eri looked devastated. She was standing in the front row along with Mirio and Present Mic. Her big eyes were and giant crocodile tears falling down her face. Eri was wearing her favorite red dress. Her hair was full of hair clips that Izuku had given her. A well-loved All Might plushie dropped from her hand as she realized that her favorite hero was never coming back. Izuku strongly wished that he could comfort her. He couldn't.

"He was a true symbol of hope. To all."

As soon as Aizawa finished his speech, all in his class ran up and hugged him. They sobbed. And they remembered.

Izuku lost control. If he was coherent he would see the power go out as lighning crackled around him. Black whips lashed. He was floating. His senses were overloaded. Smoke filled Toga's lungs. "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" His mind was fuzzy. I'm right here. I'm alive! Stop crying. Stop. stop. STOP! Power everywhere went out as Izuku screamed. Not one person knew what was going on. "Hey kid- shit-" As his vision went black seven figures appeared.

A/N: I am writing this at a band competition so right now the fic (not the writing) will be messy, I will be post-crossing this on ao3! Remember every vote goes to saving Deku from the LoV
