Mateless. (katsudeku♡)

Chapter 10

Just One Drink.

*

Izuku Midoriya's POV

I stood there alone for a while. My mind pondered through the pain coursing through my arms and my torso, but most importantly the constant shattering of my heart. The events of tonight kept repeating in my head like a broken record.

Came here ready to find the love of my life.

Got my heart broken by Kacchan.

Almost killed myself to get rid of all this pain.

Was stopped by Todoroki.

Sat quietly together.

Kissed my cheek and left.

Here alone without a mate.

I sighed. It was already late and mom was probably worried sick about me. I left the roof and walked towards the main hall. There was barely anyone left. I contemplated on talking to the remaining people; Kaminari, Kirishima, Shoji, Sero, Yaoyorozu, and Jirou. I probably shouldn't right? I looked like a mess and I just finished crying. My eyes were kept locked on the floor when I felt a pull at the back of my jacket.

"Hey Midoriya, you okay?" Kaminari asked quietly.

I looked up at him and looked him over. He wasn't wearing anything too fancy, just a white button up with a black bow tie and black pants. I noticed he wore a smile way larger than I've ever seen. Slightly hidden under the collar of his shirt, there it was, a newly formed mark. He had already found his mate, and by the way that Kirishima was glaring at me, I could tell it was him. I nodded and turned away from him.

"You've been crying I can tell. There's something wrong, isn't there? You don't have to tell me you know. If you're not comfortable."

"It's nothing I can't deal with! Don't worry too much about it," I tried to smile as happy as I could, hiding any bit of sadness hidden in my eyes.

Kaminari looked at Kirishima while lightly tapping his water bottle. The red head nodded and began to talk to the others. Kaminari held out his bottle to me.

"Here, take it. Don't ask what it is or how I got it. When you get home, take a sip or so. It's kinda some strong stuff, but it'll get your mind off whatever happened tonight. I brought it just in case I ended up mateless, but I didn't. I guess I have no use for it so knock yourself out okay?"

I took the bottle from his hand and thanked him kindly. It was a very kind gesture of him. A silence enveloped the room and I decided that I should leave. Waving at everyone, I wondered what was inside the bottle as I walked out the door. He said I should take it when I get home, but what is one sip going to do? I opened the bottle and was hit by a sweet fruity smell. I took one sip and instantly regretted it. It burned down my throat, but nonetheless, it tasted pretty good. What is this stuff? (A/N: Little baby doesn't realize what the drink is.) I took another gulp of the substance and ignored the burning sensation. My mind began to go fuzzy and I felt it getting harder and harder to walk. I had no idea where I was going but my legs were leading me somewhere so my body just followed. Kaminari said that the drink would make me stop thinking about what had gone down tonight, so I gulped most of it down. Before I knew it, I found myself in front of a familiar house and I knocked.
