My Pawfect Rebirth

127: A Disposable Life

"I... I had the nerve to hang out with you guys... and laugh as if I was one of you. To see you... Midoriya... a nobody just like me... knowing that you were struggling to do everything on your own... I despaired at my own misery. When I put my own despair before your heavy burden... I realized I was... rotten to the core. The Aoyama Yuga you know... is a filthy villain, through and through."

Katsuki couldn't take listening to this as he knew Izumi was having to sit there and listen and he was sure she felt powerless to say anything. He stormed through the Station past all the greenette's old classmates and knew exactly where the interrogation room was. 

He wasn't going to waste another second knowing that the greenette most likely felt worthless to try and say something that could or would be impactful. 

He opened the door to the room to see Anastasia and Chevy standing and watching how everything was going in the interrogation room. 

"Katsuki." 

He turned his head and could see through the glass and could tell something was wrong with the greenette. He could see her hands resting in her lap, but they were shaking, and he wasn't sure if it was anger or if she was about to cry. 

Though he wanted to burst in that room and grab her, he knew she would've at least gotten more time to listen to Aoyama.

Izumi was shaking with anger and frustration because this had to be some kind of deceased spirit of All for One that controlled Aoyama and his parents. She knew that One for All would be controlling, but she had no idea that one of her old classmates was suffering through keeping this all to themselves. 

"Like I said, you should be careful who you trust. He's been pretty sneaky lately, always hiding things behind his precious friends' backs. Almost like he's double-crossing you, isn't he?" 

Those words from Yui echoed in her ear over and over, and though the greenette didn't want to listen to those words, Yui was right. But that didn't mean that Yui should've poisoned Aoyama, because Aoyama knew that what he was doing was a terrible deed. 

It was invigorating and the greenette couldn't take it anymore.

"This... This... THIS DOESN'T MEAN THIS SHOULD MAKE YOU BE THE BAD PERSON!!! NO ONE SHOULD BE NAMED A VILLAIN FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES JUST BECAUSE THEY COMMITTED A CRIME!!!" Izumi yelled as she jumped up from the chair. 

Everyone was speechless, because though Aoyama had to keep everything a secret for so long, it didn't mean he really was a villain, he was just trying to protect his family. The greenette had tears streaming down her face, her entire body shaking from all these emotions she was feeling. 

She thought she possibly couldn't say another word, but then she knew what she should at least try to do. 

"Aoyama-kun... Take my hand, Aoyama-kun." she said as she reached her hand out to him.

Katsuki felt a shiver down his spine at the sight, of all the things Izumi could've said or done, this was the one thing that made the blond realize just how special the greenette really was. As this was the same thing Izuku'd done for him back when they were kids and he fell in the river. Izumi has never changed, because she's giving someone the chance to know that they are not really a bad person. 

'Is that your play, Deku?' Katsuki thought. 

Aoyama stared down at her hand and he wasn't sure what kind of action he could or should take. 

"Even though you will keep thinking that you're the bad guy in this situation, you are still... you're still my friend, Aoyama-kun..." the greenette muttered.
