Catch Me If I Fall [BakuDeku]

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Katsuki was speechless, his brain not registering the impact of his body against the bedroom wall. All that his mind was focused on was the horrifying image of Izuku's thighs. He didn't even notice how the freckled boy scattered over to his half bathroom in panic, slamming the door so hard it made the floor shake.

Izuku was experiencing probably his worst panic attack yet. His secret was officially out in the open and the one to find out about it was the person he least wanted to find out. His breathing came out in painful spasms and his vision became blurry because of the lack of oxygen.

You're so stupid! You useless idiot!

"Deku!" Katsuki pounded on the door after coming to his senses. His head throbbed painfully, but he ignored it. He couldn't leave the greenette alone inside that bathroom. To say he was afraid of what Izuku might do was an understatement.

"N-No! Go a-away!" Izuku managed to let out through gasps. He was kneeling on the ground in front of the door, hands gripping his green curls in desperation. The blood from his cuts kept running down his thighs, eventually reaching the floor and staining it with its crimson color. His chest constricted painfully as he started feeling faint, eyes burning and body trembling.

"You're crazy if you think I'm going to fucking leave you alone!" Katsuki shouted, twisting the doorknob desperately. He was panicking, his heart beating erratically against his ribcage. His ruby eyes fell on Izuku's things that had fallen on the floor a few minutes ago. Rushing over to them, he picked the small bag of toiletries and opened it up, turning it over and letting whatever was inside fall out.

When his eyes scanned over the items, his heart dropped, a string of curses leaving his mouth. He felt nauseous as he stared at the blood stained razor blade among other regular things, making the situation even more real. He hated himself so much at that moment.

How could he never notice?

No. That wasn't right.

How could he ignore such clear signs? How could he convince himself that Izuku was alright all those times? It was obvious that the nerd wasn't fucking fine! Why did he let this happen?!

Katsuki rushed back to the bathroom door, pounding on it a few more times. He could hear Izuku gasping for air, and he grew even more desperate. He had to find a way to open the door without destroying it. Aizawa could easily expel him for destroying yet another door with his quirk. He needed to get through to Izuku, and fast.

"Deku, please," Katsuki pleaded, leaning his forehead against the door. Whatever pride he had vanished into thin air. He couldn't hide the concern in his voice, the desperation. "I need you to open the door, please."

Izuku was about to pass out on the bathroom floor. His chest and throat hurt and his lungs still wouldn't open up to let some air in. Even so, he tried focusing on Katsuki's voice.

"God dammit, Deku!" Katsuki exclaimed, running his hands through his spiky hair. Izuku was not responding. "You will leave me no other choice than to call the teacher. Hell, I'll even call fucking All Might if necessary."

Those words were the ones to catch Izuku's attention. His eyes widened in fear. If Aizawa or All Might found out, it would be over for him. He would much rather face Katsuki's wrath than have the two pro heroes find out about his current situation. So, with whatever little strength he had left, he reached towards the doorknob and twisted the lock.

The moment Katsuki heard the click of the door unlocking he barged inside the bathroom, accidentally pushing Izuku. The blond cursed under his breath and immediately went to the nerd's aid. "Fucking hell, Deku!"
