TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE

MONDAY

Izuku:

Sobbing is the only noise to be heard in the forest. It's desolate. Almost like the animals see Deku the same way he and the rest of the world see him. He's been so tired. So done. He thought about asking for help. Things have been getting worse. But then he remembered that he was quirkless. Then he realized the "help" he would get being quirkless.

There's a reason no one wants to help people like me. We're a cancer to society. I would be doing the world a favor by ending it all now.

At this thought, his sobs get far louder and heavier. He tugs at his hair but that does nothing to comfort him. He digs the heels of his palms into his eyes as if he can plug his ducts and force himself to stop. He can't. He hates this. He can only think of one way to make it stop. And it's the very thing that's brought him to his old childhood romp. He thought about doing it Kacchan's way but knew if he did, Kacchan might get into trouble given the boy's wording earlier that day.

A small but vicious part of him wants to throw himself off a building just so that his childhood friend would be forced to live with it. To acknowledge his part in what he's about to do. He squashes that part of himself quickly though and feels disgusted with himself for ever having such a thought. And besides, he'd really prefer for his body to not traumatize some innocent bystander. Still audibly sobbing he stands up on shaky legs and with shaky hands, he ties the rope. Then with his shaky body, he forces the small stool he brought out from under his feet and dangles and sways with his final shaky breath.

Katsuki:

"Take a swan dive off the roof and pray you'll be born with a quirk in your next life!"

Katsuki faces his ceiling and replays his vile words over and over. He regretted saying it the moment those words fell from his tongue.

Of course, I don't actually want Deku to die! It just came out! He knows that. And it's not like he's ever listened to any of my bullshit anyways. As badly as he wants to take those words back apologizing isn't an option. The least I can do is back off. And with this thought, he closes his red eyes and sleeps peacefully.

Inko:

"1-1-0 what's your emergency?" The operator's calm voice is met with hysterical crying and a frantic response.

"My *sob* my baby- my son! He is-isn't home yet *sob* and-and I thought he may b-be out with fr-frie-*sob*-friends but i- he- he's never gone this long an-*sob*-and he–"

"Okay, ma'am I'm going to ask you to breathe. I am going to file a missing persons report. We'll find your son." The green-haired woman stays on the phone and overloads the operator with information on her baby. Once the line is dead she leaves a message to her currently sleeping best friend and leaves the house to search. She thought briefly of staying in case he returned but decided to leave a note.

"If you see this Izuku call me. I'm worried. Love you, Mama." She doesn't receive any calls that night.

TUESDAY

Katsuki:

The next day in class is quiet. Unnervingly quiet in Katsuki's opinion. There's no incessant mumbling, no pathetic sobs, no taunts, no fighting. Nothing. It's normal. Until it isn't. Where's the nerd? He ignores the growing pit in his stomach. The unsettling quiet is disrupted by the annoying ringing that all classroom phones have.

"Bakugou. Grab your things and head to the office. Your mom's here." Huh? Shouldn't the hag be at work? The fuck is she doing here for? He does as he's told silently. The quiet has spread from environment to person. The walk to the office feels all too short as he's wrapped up in the day's oddities.
