Admiring From Afar (BkDk)

25 - 'Good Enough'

"People don't leave people if they really are in love
I was good, just wasn't good enough"

Izuku POV
"YOU ONLY DATED ME BECAUSE KACCHAN WAS IN LOVE WITH ME?" I scream at Aku. I just get more and more pissed the longer she stays silent. She just wanted to hurt her brother. She never had feelings for me.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE, THEY'RE LYING!" She screams back. I glare at her as I feel tears threaten my eyes.

"OH REALLY, THEN WHAT ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO DENKI, YOU LIED ABOUT THAT. AND TETSUTETSU. WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY?!?" I shout loudly as she starts to cry, but I couldn't care less.

"IT'S BULLSHIT, HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE THEM OVER YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" She shouts back with tears in her eyes.

"BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME ACTUAL PROOF UNLIKE YOUR SOB STORY!" I scream.

"WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME." She sobs out as I gasp silently.

"I don't love you? Bullshit. I've only stuck with you this long because I loved you." I scoff at her.

"Then why are you screaming at me!" She raises her voice again.

"Because I'm angry at you! You hurt me again and you haven't even said sorry." I say through a sigh.

"I have no reason to say sorry. You're accusing me of horrible things, you're the one who should be apologizing!" She yells as I roll my eyes.

"Aku, look—"

"I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU." She yells, cutting me off. My eyes widen at her words as more tears stream down my face.

Why do I care?

She's lied to me this whole time and yet I still care about her.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Her yelling triggered her quirk, causing the lights to flicker before burning out. Leaving us in the dark dorm room. Silence blankets the room for a couple minutes before I speak up again.

"Fine..." I whisper out. She smirks as her tears suddenly disappear. Before leaving the room, she whispers in my ear.

"I only dated you so my brother couldn't." My mouth hangs open at her words as my fear was confirmed. I break down sobbing on the floor as my door slams. I gasp for air as I clutch my shirt.

I suddenly hear footsteps getting louder and closer to my room as I hold my knees to my chest. Why does everything hurt so much. I can't handle this anymore. I cared about her so much, why couldn't she feel the same.

"Nerd?" I hear a voice call out to me, a voice I would recognize anywhere: Kacchan. I hear muttering as I look around in the darkness for him. Then, the lights are quickly turned back on and I soon feel embarrassed by my tears.

"You okay?" He whispers as he sits down next to me on the cold hard floor.

"Mhm." I mumble as he sighs.

"The extras told you the truth huh." He says as more of a statement than a question. I nod at him and he puts his arm around my shoulder.

"So did Aku." He seemed a bit more surprised at that answer.

"I'm sorry." He whispers as I lean my head on his shoulder, just like I used to do with him when I was upset as a kid. I guess not much has changed after all.

"Why are you sorry?" I question his apology.

"I'm sorry I let this go on for so long. I should've stopped her before she hurt you again." He admitted as I smiled at him.
