Driven over the edge (BakuDeku story)

Chapter 4 Check up (Izuku Pov)

"Uhh" I said as I thought of the best way to say the news.

"Have you heard from the pros?" I asked Kacchan but I already knew the answer, because that's why I'm here. To break the news to him.

"No, why, what happened?" Kacchan said, sounding a bit worried and excited at the same time. Haha if I were to say that to him I'd be dead.

"Well," I started to say.

"What?" He said because I was taking too long for his short attention span.

"They f-found Kiri."

"B-but," I said, trying not to make him too angry and taking my time because I knew he would be upset with the news.

"Really can I go see him," Kacchan started to say, but then looked at me. I was probably making a sad face because apparently I show my emotions too much. He started to look worried.

"What, you better not say what you think you're going to, Deku." Katsuki told me, which meant that he was going to freak out.

"He's dead." I said so quietly that I'm surprised he heard.

"...." Silence, silence filled the room.

"I-i'm s-so-sorry." I said frantically, feeling bad for my friend.

"...Tch, leave me alone." Kacchan said, his face looking empty and sad.

"Are you ok, Kacchan?" I asked because I was worried.

"Yes I'm fine, now leave!" He ordered and I really didn't want to.

"Or you'll be dead too!" Kacchan said with tears brimming in his eyes. I could tell he was losing his composure and he was gonna break down any second.

"You know, y-you can talk t-to me." I said trying to get him to open up cause I know that it makes you feel a bit better.

"I don't f-f****** care and I don't need you." Kacchan said as he pushed me out the door and slammed it shut.

I was gonna try to get him to open it back up but just left. Let's just say Katsuki cried a lot that night.

–TIME SKIP 3 DAYS LATER

"Ok nerd," Katsuki texted as I opened our messages.

"Are you ok?" I replied, wondering where this was going to go.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine." Kacchan texted back. I highly doubt though that he's fine because that's just how Kacchan is. Always so stubborn I thought as I half laughed and half sighed to myself.

"Are you sure Kacchan cause it's been 3 days and you haven't been at school?" I texted, trying to get him to elaborate.

"Are you good?"

"YES I'm f****** good ok, and even though I haven't been at school who cares. Especially why do you care nerd?" Katsuki replied to me, finally. I could practically tell he "Tch"d.

"You can talk to me, you know that, right Kacchan?" I texted ignoring his question for now.

"No I couldn't cause I don't wanna talk about s***** feelings with a dumb loser like you." He texted back, which kinda hurt my feelings. You know sometimes Kacchan can be really mean and harsh.

"His funeral is in 2 days. Are you going?" I texted, moving on from what he said.

"I'm not going." Kacchan texted back. Which made me sad.

"Why not?" I replied back to him.

"Kacchan is offline." He texted

"Come on Kacchan stop, you're not ok and I won't stop texting you until you tell me what's wrong." I texted even though I already knew why he didn't wanna go and was sad. I just wanted him to open up about it cause I think it makes you feel better.

"Why does it matter to you?" Kasuki questioned.

"Yes it does matter," I replied.

"Why?" He said.

"Because you're my friend Kacchan." I texted with a sad smile on my face because Kacchan didn't know that.

"Tch," Kacchan texted, which was funny cause even in text he's angry.

"Kacchan," I asked.

"What?" He replied back which made me happy because he's not being stubborn.

"Talk to me." I replied.

"I already am, nerd." Kacchan replied.

"No, not like that. I mean, like, open up about Kiri." I said.

"Yeah right, in your dreams nerd." He replied.

"Come on Kacchan you're not ok." I texted.

"Kacchan, talk to me and tell me what's wrong." I texted waiting for a moment for him to answer, which never happened.

"Come on, I will call you if you don't answer or go to your dorm/house." I texted having enough and being stubborn for a change.

"Kacchan, Kacchan, please?"

"Argg fine, but I don't know what to tak about and also your hella annoying." Bakugou finally replied.

"Talk about Kiri" I texted a basic idea.

"What can I say about s***** hair. He's dead and now what. Like what do you want me to say? That I'm sad and struggling. Like, this is just a stupid conversation Deku." Katsuki texted me, and as soon as I read it I could tell he's taking this badly.

"Kacchan do you really miss him?" I texted.

"Idk ok, I just don't know what to feel ok because one thing I do feel is sad but isn't mourning, not useful? It's kinda pointless and nothing good will happen because of it." Kacchan replied, putting all of his thoughts into that text.

"Kacchan, I'm here for you." Is all I could think of to text.

"I don't need you. I was fine on my own and already know that I kinda miss him a little bit and I just don't like opening up, ok? Also this isn't a thank you so don't get all sappy for helping, cause you didn't." He replied.

"Kacchan, you need my help.You need at least a bit of help." I texted, knowing that everyone needs a bit of help after what happened.

Authors notes

Oi, oi, oi it's me and I realized that the book kinda gets really repetitive in later chapters. Like not to spoil too much but they fight the make up over and over. Also Kacchan always puts up a fight but it doesn't last and he just gives in easily. Anyway have a good day/night and I gotta do homework, which if you have some I suggest you do too.
