Take My Hand

Exit music

"Just pray that you'll be born with a Quirk in your next life, and take a swan-dive off the roof! That would make everyone feel better wouldn't it?"

Standing up on the roof with his childhood friend as his eerie voice sings with a tattered heart from the world's mistreatment of him for something out of his control. And the most villainous of them all is Katsuki himself. The green haired boy's voice was loud as he stood a few feet from the edge.

So don’t tell me when it’s over
I don’t wanna know
I’m done carrying the weight of the world
So heavy on my shoulders
I just wanna feel this love
Even if it’s only when I’m
Tripping, I see your face
I ain’t doing no one a favor
While I’m sober for the moment
I can only hope it’s lust
‘Cause when the high stops, then I know that you’re gone

Over and over all the words he's ever said like knives piercing the innocent boy in front of him.
He's not worth anything! He's a deku! A defect, defenseless, worthless! Can't believe he's still alive! The insults over the years carved into his body dehumanizing him. Shackles dimming the brilliance of the freckled green eyed teen.

Katsuki reaches his trembling hand up to stop the poison from spewing but nothing is working. Every curse and insult causes his childhood friend to step back more and more until he's at the ledge. Katsuki lurches forward to stop him but instead his body pushes the boy off the roof.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Katsuki screams with his hand outstretched to the ceiling.
His body covered in a cold sweat, chest heaving for air as if he ran a marathon. God damn this fucking dream why wont it ever stop. Rolling to his side he sees the time on his alarm clock and gets up to shower and get ready for work.

Katsuki’s life as he got older on the road to his dream has had its ups and downs. The life of a hero should be fulfilling to Katsuki, right? But no one told him the road to success could be so lonely. Sometimes he would hear phantom calls of "Kacchan wait for me." But when he would turn there was no one there. An empty space that will never be filled. Then there were some days that were exactly like what he had dreamt of back when he had been a brat. From saving people to kicking ass and becoming a child's hero.

It's only been 2 years since his graduation from UA. Things should have been going well but ever since his childhood friend Izuku Midoriya went missing things have just seemed broken. So Katsuki has spent the last 7 years trying to make up for the one life he could not save.

That morning had been like any other and it had started off normal, he had done his morning routine and headed off to work. An uneasy feeling started to take form in his gut. His squad of idiots call it his bakusense. And thanks to that damn nightmare he just couldn't shake the ugly feeling that had taken root in his heart. Always the same thing on a loop, the haunting truth of his last time seeing Izuku Midoriya. Just never ending torment meant to haunt Katsuki for the rest of his life.

The walk to Hawks agency had been quite peaceful. Children were running on the sidewalks to school. People going on their way to their normal jobs. An almost picture perfect setting that seemed too perfect. If not for the bad feeling he had telling him shit was about to go to hell and real quick.

His thoughts came to a halt as the sounds of explosions rang overhead. Pieces of the building started to crumble and fall. Katsukis feet move at a sprint he jumps off the Ground and releases his quirk propelling himself into the air. Barreling towards the burning building to help evacuate civilians. Screams and shouts of help echoing through the chaos. In his peripherals he caught sight of a piece of rubble about to fall on a young girl.

"Fucking hell!" He yelled.

Katsuki pushes himself as hard as he could, willing his body to surpass his limit without his gear. Swooping in, grabbing a hold of the child and rolling along the pavement carefully not to cause injury to the kid. Other heros finally began to pour in and take a handle on the scene. Taking the young girl to the medics where she could be checked for injury.
