Protecting Sunshine

Chapter five

Hiya! I'm back with chapter five. I hope you enjoy this chapter. 

Everything seemed to be going fine. Keyword..seemed. Izuku was in no way getting better. He tried to smile more for his friends, but he felt himself sinking further and further into the depths of his mind.

"Morning Midoriya," Iida said.

"Morning," Izuku yawned. His voice had taken a more depressed tone than his normal chipper voice. Izuku walked into the kitchen.

They had all gone shopping to stock the kitchen and bought more coffee. Izuku was in the middle of making himself a cup of coffee when the coffee pot went haywire, spurting hot water and coffee grounds all over the place. "Goddamnit!" Izuku yelled uncharacteristically. He hadn't gotten a full night's rest in almost a week due to nightmares and he was beginning to get irritated.

"What happ-" Uraraka came in yawning and stopped mid-sentence when she noticed the state Izuku was in. "Are you okay?" She asked quickly, rushing to help him clean up.

"I'm fine," He said with some bitterness in his voice. Uraraka didn't pick this up.

"Are you sure?"She pressed.

"I said I'm fine!" He yelled rather loudly. Everyone who was in the common room became completely silent at his outburst. When he walked out of the kitchen after cleaning everything up he noticed all eyes on him. "Got something to say?" he questioned with annoyance in his voice.

"Okay, I get it you have been through a lot and all, but you don't have to be such a dick to everyone. You are kinda being selfish," Sero said staring at Izuku who gave a small frown.

"Yeah...I have to agree with Sero..you are kinda being rude," Sato said. Everyone else was silent. Izuku's silence was surprising. He could have said something whether it was mean or not. They thought he was just speechless at what they said. Little did they know that he was having yet another mental battle with his mind. He stared Sero and Sato an emotionless, blank look on his face. A few tears slid down his cheek. After several long minutes, he finally spoke.

"If that's what you think...fine then..." He said very quietly. He turned and walked out of the room leaving everyone stunned. The tension in the air could be cut with a butter knife.

"Guys...don't you think that was a little harsh...I mean cut him some slack," Kirishima said.

"He may have been a little snappy..but it's to be expected, he has been through much more than anyone of us could have ever dealt with," Uraraka said. "Finding out his father was a villain, being bullied, then kidnapped by the one person he should be able to look up to..." She shook her head.

"I wasn't meaning to be rude, but someone needs to call him out. He doesn't need to snap at everyone," Sero said. It was hard not to agree with him.

"Well maybe, but it shouldn't have been done so harshly," Todoroki said sending a glare to Sero.

Todoroki silently got up and was followed by Kirishima. They went to go check on their green haired cinnamon roll.

Izuku kaid in his bed. The heavy weight on his chest was getting progressively heavier. He found himself unable to breathe.

'You have done it this time! They aren't going to forgive you now!' the voice in his head screamed. 'You are stupid! So selfish! Keeping things into the point where you blow up and upset your friends!' Izuku let the voice in his head scream. He couldn't draw in a breath and his vision was getting fuzzy. There was a knock on the door. It was muffled. Izuku felt like he was drowning.

"Izuku? Open the door," he heard Kirishima's voice. He ignored it.

"Please," Todoroki added.

"It's unlocked..." He managed to gasp out. They opened the door and were by his side in an instant.
