Was sanity an OPTION? - crack deku MHA

Pardon me Rat Man, But what was that?

Izuku jolted in surprise as he noticed the beat-up hobo man glaring at him from the corner of his vision. He glanced at the rat man in front of him, and then back to the hobo.

"Hobo?" He asked, "What the fuck are you doing here with this rat man?"

The man rolled his eyes and stepped out of the bushes and into the clearing revealing his multiple bandages and signs of burns. 

"Kid." He grumbled angrily, "That 'rat man' is principal Nezu of UA"

Izuku's eyes widened in recognition and shock, Aizawa continued

"And he is here to find you after you tried to murder me and some police officers when you committed arson against a hospital. Remember?"

Izuku cast his eyes down in slight guilt, "Are they okay?" He asked, looking up at Aizawa. And for the first time since he met him, Aizawa saw a glimpse of an innocent and frightened child behind those emerald eyes. But Aizawa also glanced down in sadness.

Aizawa seemed to think for a moment, his brow furrowing as he grappled with choices.

"No." He eventually replied somberly, before turning around with a slouch promptly and walking out of the clearing, ignoring the the spikes of the brambles on the shrubs, "Follow Nezu." He commanded monotonously as he left.

"Oh." Is all that Izuku could manage to whimper before he felt a wave of guilt crash over him, like a tsunami of negative emotion enveloping him and dragging him back down to the bottom of the ocean.

He collapsed to the ground in sobs, his whole body shaking violently. He was drowning, pushed under the weight of his actions as well as those of his mother, and of Bakugo Katsuki. 

After years of hiding his life, Bakugo had found out. From then on it had only gotten worse.

New burns every day

"Punching

 Kicking

 Ruined lunch

Tattered school uniform lying on the pavement

Blood dripping in the alley 

Screams 

cackling in his ear"

Izuku tried to shout but water filled his lungs, he was choking on the memories that were surfacing. Memories he had tried to suppress. 

He had that feeling.

That spaced out.

Please let me leave, kind of feeling.

Im choking on life , kind of feeling.

Can't you see i'm drowning, why won't you help me. Kind of feeling.

The same kind of feeling he had just a week ago, on the warehouse roof.

He turned around and walked to the edge of the creek, there was a rather large ledge that dangled over the rock filled stream. It was almost winter, so the water had begun rapidly flowing down the creek, fast enough.
