Midoriya Izuku

Overdose

A/N: A tumblr request, but based on my own experiences

Being the number one hero wasn't easy, but Midoriya had always found it to be very fulfilling work, even if it sometimes kept him away from home for days. He knew you were always waiting for him and that he always had you to come back to. He wasn't going to make it home tonight, so he decided to give you a call.

"Hey" you answered as you picked up the phone.

"Hey, I just wanted to check in, let you know I'm still alive an all" he said.

"Good to know, are you gonna be home tonight?"

"Sorry, but no, I can't make it until maybe early tomorrow morning. Are you doing okay? You sound a bit off"

"I'm fine, I promise" you tried to reassure him.

"Good, I have to go now" Midoriya said, and took the phone off ihs ear.

"I lo-" you said into the phone, but the line disconnected before you could finish your sentence.

That's how you had been feeling lately too, disconnected. Disconnected from everything, especially from Izuku. He had been working so hard lately, trying to keep the peace, making the world a better place, the things he'd always wanted to do. You just felt like you'd been left behind, Izuku was fulfilling all his dreams and ambitions and you felt like you were doing nothing, like you had achieved nothing

You didn't want to live like that, you didn't want to live doing nothing, achieving nothing. You didn't want to feel useless, you didn't want to be useless. So you decided you wouldn't be anything.

You set down the phone and looked at the sight in front of you. You had three bottles of different medications on the edge of the sink. You filled your glass with water and downed the first handful, and then a second one, and then a third one. You leaned against the sink and looked in the mirror. Your vision was going blurry and your hand slipped off the edge of the sink, hitting the glass that still had a little water in it. It dropped on the tile floor of the bathroom and shattered.

You staggered backwards and slid down to the floor, leaning your back against the wall. You hadn't even noticed you were crying when you looked in the mirror, but you could feel the tears streaming down your cheeks. You hit the floor next to you, and your fist made contact with one of the shards from the broken glass. You didn't care about the pain, you just kept hitting the floor.

At some point you passed out. You weren't really sure when it happened, since you just kind of drifted off gradually. you didn't know how much time had passed when you awoke to someone shaking you. Well you weren't fully awake, more like barely conscious.

Midoriya had come home to find you slumped against the wall next to the bathroom door, with your hand bloody and you not responding to his pleas to wake up.

"Oh god, nononononono" he muttered before he checked for your pulse. It was there, a bit weak but there. "Thank goodness" he sighed.

Midoriya called an ambulance and you were transported to the hospital. He was sitting in the back of the ambulance with you, holding your hand while you drifted in and out of consciousness.

You remembered Izuku picking you up and carrying you outside. It was a bit chilly, but his warm arms were wrapped around you. He laid you down somewhere, probably an ambulance since you could hear a siren. You passed out again a little bit after the ambulance stopped.

You were taken away by the nurses and Midoriya was left just standing on the hallway, totally lost for what he should do.

"Sir, you can follow me to the waiting area" a nurse said, and he did as he was told.

Midoriya sat down in the waiting room, and he waited, and waited, and waited. After some hours a nurse came to tell him that you had had to have your stomach pumped, but you were going to be okay. The amount of pills you had taken wasn't lethal, but it was still dangerous. You were wheeled into one of the patient rooms and Midoriya pulled a chair next to your bed and once again he waited.

When you woke up, you were in bed. For a moment you thought you were sleeping at home so you instinctively reached for Izuku who usually slept on your right side, but there was no one there, just the edge of the bed.

"(Name), are you awake?" you heard Izuku ask from the other side of you.

"Mmmmhhmm" you mumbled in the affirmative and sat up stretching your arms towards the ceiling.

The motion made your hand hurt, so you checked why. Your hand was wrapped in bandages, and the side opposite to your thumb hurt the most.

"They had to give you some stitches, your hand was a bloody mess when I found you" Midoriya said quietly.

You finally looked at him. He had been crying, his eyes were puffy and his cheeks red.

"I'm sorry" you whispered.

"Do you remember what happened?" he asked, with a serious tone, ignoring your apology.

"Not much, I know I took some pills, but I don't know how much, or how I hurt my hand, let alone how much time has passed between then and now"

"The assumption is you took them last night, I found you early in the morning, and you were brought here. So it's probably been almost 24 hours"

"I was out for quite a while then, huh" you said.

"Yeah" Midoriya said and leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms in front of himself

"You're disappointed with me, aren't you?" you had to force yourself to ask.

"No, I'm just really worried" he sighed.

"I think... we should break up" you said.

You didn't actually want to break up with him, but you couldn't bear to see him in so much pain because of something you did.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't want you to have to deal with this, you don't deserve it" you sniffled.

Midoriya wasn't sure if he could get you to change your mind. He knew you were the kind of person that didn't want to hurt anyone, especially him, but this suggestion was just plain stupid.

"Do you really think that I'm the kind of person who would just leave you alone with this?"

"I know you're not, but-"

"No buts, you're not getting rid of me that easily"

"I don't want to be a cause of pain for you, Izuku. I don't want you to cry because of me or sit in the hospital because I couldn't deal and did something to hurt myself"

"Hey" he grabbed your hand. "I'm in this for all of it, all of you. It doesn't matter what we'll have to go through, we'll survive it together"

"I love you so much" you started sobbing and squeezed his hand.

"It's gonna be okay" Midoriya said and kissed you on the forehead.
