Dead in Another Universe

Chapter 7

Nobody's POV:

...

The punches and insults Katsuki expected never came because;

Deku screamed. He screamed his lungs out. He screamed so loud he started coughing a couple seconds after. He screamed and cried and pulled this hair. Anything to remove the pain, nothing worked. Bakugo stood there wide eyed, when he said that to Deku, he almost got no reaction. It was an angry look. Nothing like that. Everyone tried to calm him down. Except for Katsuki who just stood there. What the hell did he do. He did that. Katsuki was the reason of the breaking down boy in front of him. The thing is, Katsuki didn't even realize what he'd done to the boy until now. Katsuki couldn't help the weird feeling in his stomach that he hated. Katsuki knew what he did was well beyond repair. He knew that. But maybe. Just maybe. He didn't hate him that much...?

Who was he kidding? Of course he hated him. If Katsuki was in his position, he wouldn't want to breath the same air as him.. And yet, 'Kacchan, you're so awesome!'  'Kacchan is really the best!'  Did he really hate him?

The group took enough time in calming Deku down that his past self wasn't in the class anymore. Izuku stood up. He looked away from everyone as he went for where he knows his past self will be. They followed him quietly.

 Izuku was ashamed. Ashamed that he couldn't keep the 'it doesn't bother me' act. Ashamed that he screamed in front of everyone. Ashamed that he screamed in front of Kacchan. Kacchan who he did everything in his ability to not show that the sentence affected him at that time. Izuku hated that the cover he put on for 2 years was busted just because he saw his past. He thought he was stronger than that. How the hell would he be a hero if he couldn't withstand a few words!

They kept going until they found him in the school garden. He talked quietly, but everyone was paying enough attention to hear every word.

"If I really did it, it would mean you'd be accused of suicide baiting, dumbass. Think before you speak, dumbass!" Bakugo was taken aback. He didn't do it for Katsuki!? Why did he care about Katsuki. He shouldn't care. How does he care?!! 

Deku went to his note in the pond surrounded by fish. "This isn't fish food, stupid. It's my notebook, stupid!" He said as he grabbed the note. No one has ever seen him mad before. Maybe when fighting a villain, but that's because it's a villain. Izuku at that time though was trying his best to change his sadness into anger because if it wasn't anger, Izuku would have broken down the second Katsuki said what he said.

Little Izuku's mind wandered to what Katsuki had said earlier on. "What if I actually jumped? Kacchan would be happy. Kacchan's friends would be happy. Mom would have more money and would be able to rest easy. And I don't have anyone else in my life that would care anyways." Katsuki didn't know what to think.

"No one else in his life?" Uraraka asked. She was shocked. She always thought that little Deku would have so many friends because of how caring and kind he was. "You and Iida were my first friends ever. I'm grateful." Deku answered with a smile that didn't seem too real with the smudged tears on his cheeks. Uraraka's eyes widened. She immediately threw herself to hug Izuku a really tight hug.

"Are we all gonna ignore the fact that he's considering suicide?" Jiro asked, and everyone went quiet. Deku looked away. Katsuki wanted to cry. "Maybe I'll do it after all. Tomorrow after school it is." little Deku said. And just then did everyone get Izuku's cause of death in the other dimension. Jiro put her hand on her mouth. 

"No way.." Denki said in disbelieve. Todoroki was dead silent, as if he would cry if he talked. Katsuki couldn't take much more of all this before he would break down himself. It was all his fault. Everything was his fault. He ruined Deku's whole life.
