thirteen. part two. (3)

«Izuku»

It's been six weeks since graduation.

Two weeks in college.

Kacchan doesn't talk to me.

Kacchan doesn't look at me.

If Kacchan could stop breathing all the time I'm breathing the same air, he would.

I don't know what's wrong, I don't know why everything changed from one day to the next; his attitude, his words, even his actions, I.., I juts don't know anything at all...

"Where you going?"

"Oh, I..," I say, turning to see Todoroki; "I just.., you know, wanted to see if Kacchan's in his room, I saw him pass by a while ago."

Todoroki nods, but now seems that Mina's listening here, there on the couch she turns to say to me with a pout; "He won't let you in even if he's there, he has closed the door in our faces every time we wanna join."

I frown, genuinely confused. I mean, they're his own friends. "What? Why?"

Sero and Kirishima turn around as well, the black-haired answering now. "Denki said he once could see his room was a big ass mess, maybe it's becase of it, you know he's kind of obsessive with the cleaning."

"No, I don't think so" Mina says, shaking her head. "One month and a half to clean up? That's not him."

My eyes widen in total surprise, that's definitely not normal anymore. "He hasn't let any of you in all this month and a half?"

She nods. "Mhm, since graduation. I don't know what's up with him. Are you sure it wasn't you? It always feels tense when you two are together."

I sigh, and for the thousandth time, I repeat: "I don't know. I don't remember that night."

"Kacchan!"

It's the first time I could see him walking all alone to the dorms, without Kirishima nor the others; this is my chance.

It's now or never, I can't let any more time nor chances be waste. I don't like being like this with him and the least I can do is try to find out what's wrong, if I can help, if I.., can do something, anything it is.

"Hey!" I shout back, running to catch up with him. "Kacchan!"

"Later, Deku."

"Later?" I repeat, I can't even hide the pain in my voice anymore, "When's later? You haven't had time since-"

"I don't know, just not today. I'm tired and I wanna have some rest."

"Mh..." I say, reaching out to him, trying to keep up those hurried steps. "Well, I.., is there something I can do for you? My mom used to give me a tea when I feel-"

"No. No, there's nothing you can do for me."

I clench my fists, my lips too. I don't know what that exactly means, I just... I just feel every single of his responses it's something so personal...

Personal towards me...

"You think I can't help you? Or is it that you don't want to?"

"I just want some rest, Deku, don't look for a reason."

"I just want to understand, Kacchan, if I can do something for you why don't you let me-"

"Why don't you mind your own business instead?"
