Out of the Dark

Author's Note:  I am completely useless when it comes to drawing so, this is not mind, if it is yours let me know!

Izuku laid his head on  the small table in Mina's tiny apartment , "It's too early," he complained.

He had left his place four days ago and had spent most of that time curled up in bed.

Mina had finally coaxed him out of the room for some instant noodles and company.  She snapped on her music and scrolled through her songs purposefully selecting the saddest one she could find.

"Nice music choice Mina, are you trying to kill me?" he slumped back in the chair, and stirred the noodles listlessly.

"Zuk?"

He looked at her with red rimmed eyes.

"So are you ever gonna tell me?"

"What?"

She snorted, "What? Really? Are you gonna tell me why, Zuk?" she pleaded, "Why are you doing this?  Look at yourself!   You should see Kat, he looks worse, like a zombie. The two of you are a pair."

Izuku flinched.

'Well at least you care a little bit." she crossed her arms glaring at him.

"Of course I care Mina."

"So what happened? One day you guys are like a honeymoon couple and then the next day your," she waved her hand at him, "this!"

"I just can't say Mina, it hurts to tell you that, but I can't."

"That's it Izuku Midoriya" Mina grabbed her bowl, walking to the sink she slammed it down. She turned back around, anger flushing her cheeks, she glared at Midoriya.

"You know, I have known you since elementary school Zuk. I was there when that piece of shit Tomoura started stalking you, hell, I was the one running blocker for you.  Then, when, when that shit happened, I was there for you. It broke my heart when you had to leave but we stayed in touch, and then your mom." She held her hand to her face trying not to cry.

"When you agreed to move here I was thrilled." her voice wavered as tears spilled.

"And I half hoped you and Kat would find each other, you are so crazy perfect for each other it is ridiculous. But right now" she stomped her foot, "I am really struggling on how to be your friend. I am so angry at you Izuku!!" She panted holding back the sobs trying to choke her.

"And I don't care what excuse you have to hole up here, but you are dragging that poor man's heart through the pits of hell right now, for God knows what!?!  You sure won't tell me. I hate it Zuk and right now I am trying really hard not to hate you!"

She threw the kitchen towel at him, it twisted and fell on the floor. She looked up at the ceiling trying to stop the flow of tears.

Controlling her breathing she looked back down at the slumped greenette. "Do what you want to yourself, but of all people in this world you.." a sob escaped, "you should understand the pain of not knowing, of not understanding, of having your whole world snatched away in an instant and, and not knowing why.  Of being left in the dark, alone."

Tears spilled from green emerald eyes, Izuku felt the sting of every word.

"Well there," she laughed bitterly, wiping her eyes again." at least you have a heart."
