The Demon God (Union x Male OC)

Goodbye, My Friend

Mutasim P.O.V

It was now the day after Touka had revealed her secret to me, about how she was born a Ghoul. As if I cared about that. As far as I was aware, existing wasn't a crime. And anyone who thought that way might as well be offspring of Hitler. I love Touka with all my heart and if I'm labelled a criminal for allowing a Ghoul to live, so be it. 

I think it was safe to say that Touka just somehow fell even more in love with me after that. She was a lot more forward and constantly held herself close to me. Hell, even on the way to school, she didn't even try to hide our relationship from our friends. Though now that I think about it, Izuki and Kanei seemed to take a lot of interest in it. Hide was just plain dumb so he didn't really notice a thing. 

???: Mr Lycan? Are you still with us? 

Snapping out of my thoughts, I awoke in the classroom with the teacher giving me a stern glare. The rest of the class also looked at me weakly and I let out a weak chuckle. 

Mutasim: Y-Yeah...? 

Teacher: Then perhaps you'd like to tell us the answer to this question. 

He said, tapping on the board with a small piece of chalk. I took a look at the question and cursed in my mind. Maths was never my strong suit which meant I was in deep shit. 

Mutasim: Ehhh... 

Teacher: I guessed as much. Please at least make an effort to focus. 

Mutasim: Sorry sir. 

With that said, the teacher continued to do his job, leading the lesson on as normal. A silent sigh left my lips as I write down the method of solving the question which I would probably be doing for the whole duration of the lesson. That was basically Maths lessons in a nutshell. Teacher tells you what to do, gives you a textbook and you spend the rest of the lesson answering those things. It was a pain. 

Thankfully, time flew by and it was the end of the day already. The halls were packed with students and lively chatter. Looking out at the packed hallways, I always saw it as a horde of zombies. It was a weird thing to imagine, but I couldn't help it. Sometimes my imagination gets the better of me. 

Touka and Kanei said they had to go back home and spend most of their day doing an assignment and Hide had some appointment or something which meant I'd be walking alone. I've tried to talk to Izuki and offered to walk her home, but she never accepted it. Says that she doesn't want me to stick up for her when Bakugo comes along. Maybe today would be different? 

I walk towards Izuki's classroom and see that the room is empty. Looks like she already left. I leave the school and begin to make my way home alone. However, as I walked back home, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, prompting me to pick it up and take a look. Upon doing so, I saw there was a message from Izuki on our friend group chat. 

My eyes widened in horror as I gazed at the message. 

"Hey guys... I really appreciate everything you've done for me. You guys have been my best friends through thick and thin but I can't keep going any longer. Thank you for making me happy. The happiest I've ever felt in my miserable and Quirkless life. Maybe in the next life... I'll get a Quirk of my own."

Mutasim: I-Izuki...! 

Worried, I panic texted her back, asking where she was. As I did that, I also ran and began searching for Izuki, keeping an eye out for anyone with green hair. But there was only so many places I could look for her in the middle of a damn city! 

Izuki didn't respond to any of my messages but I could still feel my phone vibrating in my hand as I ran through the streets, no doubt they were panicked messages from Touka, Kanei and Hide. After some time of running around, I saw a figure in the distance with messy green hair, standing at the ledge of a bridge. It was Izuki! It had to be! 

Mutasim: Izuki! 

I ran towards her, hoping to reach her in time. As I sprinted, she turned around and smiled at me. I saw her mouth the words "Thank you" before pushing herself off the bridge. As a last ditch effort, I jumped after her, grabbing her wrist just in time while keeping myself behind the bridge's railing. 

Mutasim: Izuki! Cmon! 

Izuki: Mutasim, please! Just let me go.

Mutasim: Stop fucking around Izuki! Climb up! You can do it! 

I felt my grip beginning to slip and it didn't help that Izuki wasn't making an effort to grab on. Her wrist slipped away slowly, but I did my best to continue holding on. 

Mutasim: Izuki please! 

Izuki: Mutasim... Its better this way. I'll have a Quirk in the next life. Just like Kachan said. Do me a favour, won't you? 

Mutasim: Izuki...! 

Izuki: Go to UA for me. That's all I ask. It was both our dreams. And between us, you've got what it takes. Not me. 

Mutasim: Stop fucking talking and just climb up already! 

Izuki: Heh... Goodbye, Mutasim. You're... my best friend. Goodbye. 

I tried to pull her up, but she used her other arm to grab at my fingers and bent them outwards, making me let go of her. She plummeted from the bridge and into the water below, but considering the height we were at... 

Mutasim: IZUKI!!!

Tears welled up in my eyes. There was nothing I could do. If I fell from this high, I'd have perished too. Even if I could swim and somehow carry Izuki's body, there was no way of either of us getting to land. I fell to my knees and wept for my friend. Izuki... Why...?! Why did she just have to...?! 

I hear someone scream and a crowd of people gather around. They all stare at me, confused and concerned. I then realise that the screaming is coming from me. My throat felt sore after screaming for as long as I was and all I had left was a lingering rage for the one that drove Izuki to suicide. 

Bakugo... I'll kill you. 

That is my promise as a friend to Izuki, not a hero.
