Polygamous Depression

Chapter 4

The next day
Todoroki POV
I woke up at 3 am. I couldn't fall back asleep so I went for a walk around the dorm. When I came back, I decided to check on Midoriya. I slowly opened his door. I saw him laying on his bed. I used my fire to light up the room a bit and I saw his eyes. They were puffy. I walked a bit into his room, dimming my fire, and felt his face. It was wet but also crusty.

Has he been crying? I wondered to myself. I walked back out of his room and quietly closed the door.

"What happened to just leaving him alone, Icy Hot?" Bakugo whisper yelled.

"I just wanted to check on him. He didn't wake up. I think he's been crying."

"Yeah, he might cry even more if he found out he was being stalked."

"Why are you up? Were you going to check on Midoriya?" I asked.

"Maybe. But it's none of your business half 'n half. Got it?" He said as he quietly stormed back to his room, shutting the door behind him.

I sat on the couch and waited for the sun to rise.

A few hours later
Deku POV
When I woke up, I had a headache. My eyes felt dry, and I was very tired. Do it now. I didn't argue with the voice. I grabbed a razor from my box, wrapped it in some clothes, and headed to the bathroom. I saw Todoroki on the couch and wondered why he was there. I hoped no one was in the bathroom, and no one was.

I sighed a sigh of relief and locked the door. One cut, two cut, three cut, four. Then I do many more. I cut my wrist, my thigh, my stomach. As many times as I need to until I feel better.

Oh no. I've forgotten my bandages. Guess I'll have to wrap myself in toilet paper.

"Hey, who's in there! I have to go!" I heard Kacchan yell.

"I-I'll be out in a minute!" I yelled. I wrapped myself in toilet paper multiple times before putting on my uniform.

I hid the razor under the sink before exiting the bathroom.

"What took you so long, nerd?" Kacchan said, pushing me out of the way and slamming the door behind him.

I hiss a bit in pain before making my way to the couch next to Todoroki. I lean on the edge, awkwardly, and stare at the wall.

"Midoriya. Are you ok?"

"H-huh?" I ask.

Kirishima POV
I got up at 6 and changed clothes. I played on my phone a bit before receiving another angry text from my dad. I then turned my phone off. He and I did not end on good terms. But we didn't start out on them either.

He gave me a farewell present, the worst beating of my life, the night I packed my stuff. I frowned as I thought about the night I had spent outside, not wanting to go back in the house, and not being welcome inside the house. I composed myself and exited my room. I went into the living room to see Todoroki on one end of the couch looking at his phone. Midoriya was on the other end of the couch, and he looked very sad.

"Midoriya. Are you ok?" I asked.

"H-huh?" He said in response.

"Your face. It looked kind of sad. I was just wondering if something was wrong. We've all been a bit worried about you, actually."

"Why, now Shark boy?" Bakugo said as he entered the room.

"It just feels like the time. Midoriya, are you ok?" I asked him again.

"Guys. My mom died two months ago. Besides me breaking my bones a lot, I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine. OK. If I weren't, I'd let you know. Stop worrying about me." He said.

I internally sighed because I knew he wasn't fine. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he hadn't been fine for a while. He must not trust us. You're such an idiot.
