"Bakugo, stop! You'll kill him!"
His teacher's voice echoes in the halls filled with curious extras, and he stops punching Deku's face repeatedly. His fingers throb from the repeated contact with skin and bone, and he can see they are also colored with faint red.
I̶t̶'s̶ ̶D̶e̶k̶u's̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶
He looks at the boy he forced against a wall, a little shaken up, but still grinning, blue eyes glistening under his slightly closed eyelids.
B̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶n̶'t̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̶l̶u̶e̶
Katsuki raises his hand and a couple of explosions erupt with pure rage because Deku is still mocking him, despite the blood dripping from his nose, despite the burns littering his skin, despite Katsuki's towering form forcing him to cower against a goddamn wall.
You won't break me
he says,
no matter what you do.
you've been trying for ten years now, aren't you tired,
K̶a̶c̶c̶h̶a̶n̶
Don't you know that despite everyone, despite you, I have what it takes to be a hero.
You should know it the best, after all, wasn't I the only one to see your pleading eyes?
Didn't y̶o̶u̶ ̶l̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶s̶a̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶?̶
Katsuki screams at the voice that never shuts the fuck up inside his head, and his hand approaches the boy's cheek, explosions ready to set off, ready to hurt and burn everything that comes their way.
Isn't that the way you want them to be?
Your quirk is merely a tool meant to obey your orders.
So just like you, your quirk can only destroy.
But I'm different
I can mend,
I can heal,
I can save.
I can even save you, once you allow me to.
İs it that hard for you to accept the hand I'm offering?
But before his hand can make contact with Deku's skin, multiple hands pull him back, he falls on his bottom with surprise.
He barely hears the teacher shouting his name, trying to snap him out of it.
But his blurred, f̶u̶c̶k̶, ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶s̶, vision is only concentrated on Deku, as the principal forces him up from the ground, and the boy glares, h̶i̶s̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶l̶u̶e̶, at the man when he h̶a̶r̶s̶h̶l̶y̶ drags him to his room while Katsuki is g̶e̶n̶t̶l̶y̶ ushered to the nurse's office.
D̶o̶e̶s̶n̶' t̶ ̶D̶e̶k̶u̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶u̶r̶s̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶K̶a̶t̶s̶u̶k̶i̶?̶
The nurse looks him over and gives an ice patch for the newly-forming bruise on his cheek, and he is cleared to go. He gets out of the room , glares at the teachers that are waiting outside, and they follow him to the principal's office.
