Some trigger warnings that would be brought up throughout the next few chapters.

death, addiction, alcoholism, possible self-harm and bad/deadly thoughts.

you have been warned.

You didn't think the next day would roll around as fast as it did but maybe it was because you were not all the way there, zoned out into another world and staying locked in Katsuki's room staring at the wall.

You had told people who you knew were close to your father about what was gonna happen today and you gave them the opportunity to go say goodbye before you unplugged him forever.

When you got to the hospital, you saw all of the flowers and balloons in his room, left by those who came to say goodbye and to give you some support without physically being there during the actual event of him being taken off support.

Bakugou stood behind you, wearing a decently funeral like outfit because he didn't know what to wear. He didn't want to be disrespectful and he didn't want to dress the part of the fact that he's going to be dead in minutes.

"Did you want to say something first?" You asked him quietly, your voice low and hoarse from the amount of crying you have done the last 24 hours.

"Uh, yeah sure." He awkwardly said, stepping up to the bed where you stood and grabbed a hold of your hand to calm you down.

Bakugou felt an intense amount of guilt in his chest that weighed him down heavily. If he wasn't so careless when it came to Shigaraki, if he didn't dive head first into a fight he wouldn't have died and your father wouldn't have been where he is now.

He didn't know what to say to you or to him. What could he say to make up for the fact that he was brought back in exchange for your dad's life? How could he apologize? How could he make it right? He couldn't and that's what really was hitting him.

"I know you would say it's not my fault but it feels like it. I'm sorry to have put you through this and I hope you feel better knowing I'll take care of her for the rest of my life. Thank you for the second chance, I won't take it for granted." He murmured down to your father, the tears stinging his eyes as he took a few steps back to give you that space.

His words had dug the knife deeper into your chest and as you gripped onto your dad's hand tighter, you didn't want to let go, you didn't want to let him go, to let him die. You weren't ready to give it up, mostly because you didn't have the time to fix the relationship you both desperately needed to fix.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do more.. I'm sorry that sometimes I wasn't the best daughter. I wish we had more time to mend it again." You were almost choked up on tears, the water sliding down and staining your red cheeks.

"Say hi to mom and Luke for me." You gave a weak smile, the painful reminder that he would be sent up to meet with your mom and brother while you're stuck here all alone.

The nurse standing in the room on the other side of the bed gave you a painful look, waiting for you to give her the word to do what was intended. You sighed heavily, not wanting to, you weren't strong enough to do it but eventually you nodded your head towards her without taking your eyes off of your father.

The machines shutting down gave an eerie sound and the beeping soon stopped. You sat down in the chair for what seemed like hours which only turned out to be 30 minutes before they declared him dead. He tried to fight for those 30 minutes but still, he couldn't survive on his own without those machines and that wasn't a life you wanted for him.

Another 30 minutes passed of you holding his hand and silently crying before you felt Bakugou's hand grab onto your shoulder and give it a tight squeeze signaling that it was time to go so they can take him out of the room and to a funeral home you had given them. You planned the funeral last second this morning, only because you based it off the will he had in place.
