Twisted Faces {An Insane Deku AU}

Session

"Uh~U-U.A. Students have my emergency number in their phones, just in case." All Might managed to concoct last second.

"It seems when you sent that- message- it was also sent to me." He slowly moved his beefy, and dramatically shaded arms to his hips. They sat in silence for what had to be twenty minutes before All Might decided to speak again.

"I was grabbing something at the convenience store down the street, so I got here pretty fast." He chuckled. After another couple of seconds in eerie silence, I felt the gloomy gaze of the man rest it's callous paws on me.

"Young Midoriya-" I could feel the ever rare frown carved into his face. I hated it when he frowned. He used his large hands to gesture to the harm I'd been doing to myself, and stepped forward- so we were inches apart from each other. Him most likely staring at me, and me staring at the skin where his eyes would be.

"All I have to ask is... Why Young Midoriya?" He said sincerely. I shuffled further into my corner, feeling uncomfortable about the stares I couldn't see.

"Bu-" I was cut off by the sound of the door opening and shutting.

"Mrs. Midoriya? Midoriya? We got the text!" I heard Iida yell from the foyer. All Might took the distraction as a chance to approach me. Before I could stop him, he'd picked me up and held me bridal style towards the living room. After walking some time through the hallway we were met with Ochaco and Iida. Why were they always together? Why did they have to stick their nonexistent noses into my business?

A gasp escaped someone's lips as they set their eyes on me. I'd gotten a good glimpse of myself on the bathroom mirror earlier of course. My bagged eyes, drooping hair, natural frown, tack dots- old and new- , and the tears running down my cheeks.

Ochaco seemed to snap out of some sort of trance, then ran over to the me in All Might's arms.

"Midoriya... What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She said sweetly, as to not scare me no doubt. I tried at the best smile I could give, but I guess my heart just wasn't in it. As my lips began to curl upwards, they were cut off by more drops of salty fluid running from my eyes to my chin.

I wanted to be hugged, I wanted to see the bright smiling face of my mom, I wanted to stop these rolling waves of depression that came out of nowhere.
I'd shut my eyes.

"Ochaco, thank you."

I open them, ready to be consoled by her, only to be faced with that empty skull.

My stomach dropped.

Something was different. Pitch black pits replaced the eyes, and a lipless mouth with jagged teeth stood above the chin. All Might, Ochaco, Iida... even Mom. They... They stared into me. They didn't want to help me, they wanted my trust. They wanted me to feel safe? With their faces? I couldn't read what their emotions said, but what they looked like then were monsters. That was their true nature. I saw that then.

Back in the living room I searched desperately around for a glimpse of normalcy. I'd turned all the way around to face All Might. I was.. so close... to that disgusting creature that my heart couldn't take it. The unease and sadness I'd been collecting since day one wanted to break from me. So I did the only thing I could think of. I screamed.

I dug my nails into my scalp as I released all the fear I had in me. All Might set me down quickly as I wriggled on the floor, wailing my lungs out. My vision was blurred with melancholic tears. I felt the hands of Mom scoop me up into a warm hug, as I began to stop my screaming. I turned to her, then shrieked yet again due to her looks.

She quickly stroked my cheek, wiping the tears that wouldn't stop falling
.
"It's me Izuku. It's your Mom. Please remember."

"Y...you don't l..look like her." I croaked in between sobs. The atmosphere in the room was crushing, and all I could do was make it worse.
