Frailty /Depressed! Deku x Bakugou/

Chapter 19

IZUKU

Opening my eyes, I found myself in Kacchan's room once again. This seems to have become a regular occurrence lately... I'm burdening him, this is the exact scenario I had hoped to avoid.

I rubbed the sleep off of my eyes, loudly yawning and trying to get my head together, the massive hangover didn't help one bit. My head was killing me... Noticing the clock seated beside the bed, a smile crept up to my lips, six thirty am... that marks twenty two hours if I don't count the alcohol cals.

Now that I think about it, I might've gone over my limit even if it was to get drunk. I can't let myself get carried away like that...

Rubbing my forehead, I realize this headache won't go away on its own. Pulling the covers off, I hopped off the bed, immediately sitting back down again because of the dizziness.

Iron deficiency is definitely the worst downside of ana...

Collecting myself together, I stand up again, feeling a bit better. Then it hits me, I definitely wasn't wearing these clothes last night. I turn the lights on and see that I'm wearing sweatpants that are way too big for me and a hoodie that reaches my thighs. These are Kacchan's..!

"He changed my clothes. Kacchan changed my clothes! Oh god, he probably thinks my body is disgusting now, well he did see it before but he probably hates me now. He hates my hideous, bony, scar covered body..! Ugh!"

My eyes widen at the realization. Did I just call my body 'bony'..? That never happened before. I rush to Kacchan's bathroom, looking for the scale I know he keeps around, I hope it still works...

Ripping the clothes off of my body, I step on the scale with just my boxers on. The numbers seem to climb but then they stop, 88.88?! I fucking knew it, it doen't work at all! Stepping off, I land a kick and they the numbers flutter as I wait impatiently.

"C'mon, c'mon..!" then they stop, 0.0 KG! It's back on!! "Yes!"

I step up again, as I wait for the numbers to stop, I feel my heart skip a beat. Please, please, please don't be higher than yesterday morning.

45.3 kg... "Was that bmi 15? No, no. It was higher than that, I can't remember for fuck sake! Wait, I think it was 43 kg? Yeah, that's right, for 170cm at 43 kg- I'd be at my goal weight..! Just 2.3 kg more then I'll stop for sure..."

I put the clothes back on and push the scale where it was before, just to see there was a crack on it. Dammit, I hope Kacchan doesn't notice.

Turning off the lights, I put on my socks and look for a pair of slippers but there weren't any so I just closed the door and left Kacchan's room. I should take the stairs, its the top floor, getting in some steps wouldn't be too bad.

Just as I'm at the last step, I can hear people talking, it's Kacchan and-

"Ouch..."

KATSUKI

Wiping my head to the side, I noticed the nerd folded up on the floor, holding his head. Getting up, I rush over to him.

"You good?" I held his arm and helped him up while Icyhot came over.

"Y-Yeah, just dizzy I guess..." he tries to laugh it off, I frown. The stuff he told me last night while he was drunk rings in my ears. It wasn't anything like when we were together, the more he said the more concern ate me up. He admitted he was starving himself out loud, how did any of us not notice...

"Would you like something to eat Izuku?" Shoto asks, cutting in and saying what was on my mind. Izuku doesn't look too happy with that. "I'm... I am fine, not really hungry, it feels like my stomach is getting pierced."

He probably drunk on an empty stomach, which explains the extreme nausea last night.

"Something salty could help-" Shoto suggests but Izuku butts in.

"I think I'll just have some water with lemon, oh Shoto-kun... I um, can you give me some painkillers, you know, the ones I gave you after-"

"Izuku, for fuck sake, just say he keeps all your meds, I already know. Don't even bother." It was getting pretty darn annoying to watch him lie through his teeth, but why didn't he tell me and I had to hear it from someone else as well... that hurt in a way I couldn't explain for some reason.

He stares down, fiddling with his fingers then speaks up, "I-In my defense, I was going to tell you." I can't help but be angry, maybe fucking upset, "Oh yeah? You were gonna... so, why haven't you huh?"

"Well... It hasn't come up..?" he looks at me apologetic, I scoff. "Whatever, Izu. You do have to eat something, no excuses," I think for a second then continue while Shoto goes over the counter, squeezing some lemon in a tall glass.

"I've seen you eat those stupid rice cakes and the wood like crackers, pick one and a fruit, I'll go get you some for breakfast." I give him the options. 

He seemed to like that idea, nodding. "Okay then, some rice cakes and fresh berries sound good I guess," he then goes on to mumble, "I can both stomach them and they're low in calories, I do like berries a bunch-" I bring my hand up to ruffle his hair, he looks to me with glowing eyes; smiling. I smile back as Shoto comes back with the lemon water.

"Thank you, Shoto-kun."

"Right, you be good and get some more sleep if you can, I'm going for a run then I'll go to the store to get the stuff you want for breakfast. Hey Icyhot, you don't have anything to do right?"

He nods in response, "Stay with Izu while I'm gone."

"Sure, wanna go to my room?"

"Hey! I don't need a babysitter, Kacchan!!" he was pounting, arms crossed. "You have lost your fucking privileges for this week, you act reckless again then I'll have to put a leash on you next who fucking knows."
