Dead, but never gone...

S⃣I⃣X⃣

Katsuki pulled his collar up to cover the marks on his neck and glanced around before unlocking the bathroom door and leaving.

He got his nerves under control and headed to class, luckily it was a free period so it's ok if he's late. He stopped at the door then steeled his nerves once more, entering class, his ever-present scowl on his face.

"Hey man we were just talking about you!" Eijiro draped an arm around him.

"The fuck are you talking about me for?" Katsuki shook the male off.

"You promised we could spar after class remember?" Eijiro reminded.

"What does that have to do with you talking about me though?" Katsuki said dryly.

"He was saying that he's finally gonna win this time," Denki snitched.

"You think you can beat me?" Katsuki grinned.

"I definitely can, I've gotten stronger!"

Careful~ He loves to take things too far~

Eijiro whipped around and covered his ear, "The hell?"

"You good bro?" Sero raised a brow.

"Yeah sorry, I thought I heard whispering in my ear," Eijiro rubbed his ear.

"I told you idiots not to stay up all night watching those scary movies!" Mina scolded overhearing them.

Help me, please help me~

Eijiro jolted hearing small cries in his ear, "Bro I heard something again!"

Denki grabbed Sero, "Dude stop you're freaking me out!" he said scared.

You can't trust him! He's a monster! Kacchan hurt me! Please help me!

Eijiro panicked as terrifying screams filled his head, "W-who the hell is Kacchan?" he mumbled worriedly.

Katsuki's head quickly shot up and his eyes widened a bit as he saw arms wrap around Eijiro's neck. His entire body ran cold and he was filled with dread as Izuku smiled at him darkly before turning to whisper in Eijiro's ear once more.

He quickly turned, ignoring his friend's concern, and made his way over to a tired-looking Aizawa.

"S-sensei can I talk to you?" Katsuki asked trying to hide his fear.

Aizawa raised a brow, "What is it?"

"Inui Sensei said I have to take a break from school, I-It was supposed to be after exams but I'm not as ok as I thought. I-I need to go home before it gets worse," Katsuki said lowly.

The only one who of his issues was Inui, the others just knew that he had personal problems that caused him to see Inui at least once a week. They knew it was serious and was more important than missing a few days of class. At least that's what Katsuki thought, even after a year no one knew the Aizawa knew as well.

"Sure go, I'll let the others know,"

"Thank you Sensei,"

Aizawa didn't respond to him and Katsuki left to quickly pack his things and take the next bus home. He had to get out of there quickly, if he just got to his dad everything would be ok. His dad would never let anything happen to him, he just had to get home.

****

Katsuki sat on the bus, staring out the window when his entire body tensed, Izuku stood on the sidewalk, bloody and glaring at him. A car obstructed his view and Izuku was gone but the fear he felt remained.
