Who was there to save him? // Deku Angst

(inspired by this animatic^^^)

"Izuku!?"
His mother rushed in, tears already streaming down her face as she ran to her son.
Her starlight.
Shaking she examined the body, fingers resisting as she touched his arm. He was so pale... No... No, how could this be happening?

"Mom..." She sobbed at the sound of his voice, how weak it came out.

"My son..." She shook violently, hot tears hitting his bloodied shirt...
Where his hand was desperately clutching,
the knuckles of his hand dangerously white

All Might couldn't bring himself to say anything at all, as tears of pain, regret, grief, and shame all washed over him in large, drowning waves.

When Izuku felt his mom wrap her arms around him as gently as she could, he couldn't hide the wince of pain that zipped through him.

"Did you know?"

The three knew this was directed at All Might.
But before he could respond, she sobbed again and leaned him back.

"It'll be okay baby," she whispered.
She ran her hands through his hair, partially wet and...dirty. He had been tossed around before being injured. She bent down to kiss him on the head. She tried to hold herself together but gods... His skin was so pale... so cold.
"It'll be okay."
She wasn't sure if this was for him or her.

Her heart continued to shatter as she watched her son silently cry his pain out, gritting his teeth.
She didn't pay any mind to All Might, crying and with his back to them. Midoriya Izuku, Hero name: Deku, saved seven people, but who was there to save him?
Guilt dragged out more tears, his heart stinging with sharp pain.
It was like knives being plunged repeatedly into his heart.
How could he fail him?

"Mom," Izuku whispered.

"Yes?" She answered quietly, one hand still running through his hair while the other kept squeezing on his.

"Tell...me a s-story?"
His voice grew softer by the minute

"Of course," his mother answered. She swallowed down the lump in her throat.

"Once upon a time, there was a young boy."

Izuku felt his mom squeeze his hand tightly, once, twice.

He repeated the same thing back to her

Once.
Twice.

"Though he was small, and though the odds were stacked against him, this boy had a dream."

Once.
Twice.
Breathing became a little harder.

"He dreamed to be the world's greatest hero, who saved others no matter what he faced to do so."

He felt his tears coming, his body knew what was happening.

"So he grew, and he grew. He studied and practiced and did what he needed to get into the top ranked superhero school."

He squeezed his mother's hand as tight as he could, his fingers getting colder by the second.

Another tear slipped down his cheek.

"And this boy became a man, saving those who needed it. Putting others before himself."

His eyelids began to droop, but when his mother squeezed his hand,

Once.
Twice.

"And though he became the greatest hero of all, he was first a hero to his mother. He showed her that anyone can do anything if they truly tried."

He felt the tears of his mother splash onto his own wet cheeks.
"You are my hero, Izuku," she sobbed, "you are my heart."

He touched his mother's hand to his slowing heart, the touch of her running her fingers through his hair soothing his shaking nerves, and calming his aching body.

"You have always been my hero, mom." He could barely even manage a whisper now.
"Forever and always."

She squeezed his hand again.
Once.
Twice.

Tears filled the silence.
He felt her kiss his hand, where he got one of his first scars, before she kissed his forehead. He couldn't feel any pain anymore. Though he quietly feared what came next for him, he inhaled deeply.

"My son..." she breathed,

"Rest."

His eyelids drooped, and slowly, his breathing came to a stop.
And eventually...

So did his heart.

All his mother could do was scream...
