NOMU (kiribaku)

Goodbye Kacchan...

Everyone had bombarded me with questions as I stared at Deku. I blocked them all out as he didn't even seem surprised, I had tears rolling down my face and he was just looking at me with a frown and sad eyes.

He knows he's dying.....

Aizawa walked in and everyone scrambled to their seats. I wiped my tears and sat at my desk, gripping my hair from stress, all eyes were still focused on me.

"Bakugou, could you come into the hall for a moment.." Aizawa said and started back towards the door. I reluctantly got up and followed. "What's the matter? I've never seen you like this." He said after closing the door behind us.

"I can't fucking tell you..." I grumbled and leaned against the wall, crossing my arms.

"Alright.. Are you ok..?"

"Obviously I'm fucking not...!"

"Ok, ok.. Calm down.. Is there someone you can talk to about this, maybe someone that could help you figure it out?"

"No. If I couldn't tell you, there's no-one I can fucking tell. No-one could help either because he's-" I cut myself short. "I can't tell anyone.." I muttered.

He stared at me for a minute. "Alright, if you're not going to speak with someone we need to head back inside.. Maybe working could distract you and it'll work itself out.."

No, it won't. "Whatever.." I pushed myself from the wall and turned back into the classroom.

And no. Working didn't distract me at all, not with Deku coughing right behind me. Everytime he coughed or cleared his throat, I was reminded that he wasn't okay. The guilt I felt was even worse after lunch when he jumped up and ran out of the room half way through the class. Everyone stared as he came back into the room and sat down like nothing was wrong. Every 'im fine' he said to the other students made me angrier.

His coughing subsided slowly throughout the day, though his voice was still scratchy. The bell rang and we all started gathering our things to leave.

"Deku," before he left the school, I grabbed his hand and noticed that it was shaking. "You're not okay, you should-"

"I know Kacchan," he looked away. "I'm not sure what it is, but it only started after I woke up Friday night, the doctor said it should pass and I trust him."

"But, I do know what it is." I hated how brittle my voice was starting to sound. "I can see things doctors and machines can't.." His eyes flicked back to me with a confuaed expression.

"...one of the chemicals they use to move quirks from person to person,... It's bound to your cells and is slowly rematerializing inside of you... Right now, I'd say only about 7% has formed.."

I let his gand fall back to his side as a silence came between us. The wind blew through the trees and the chatter of students still leaving filled the quiet between us.

"..So you're saying...."

Tears welled in my eyes and my voice cracked as I spoke.

"...You're dying, Deku.."

"Alright, class, today we're doing an exercise to help you all relax.." Aizawa started class lazily. "All might will be joining us and explaing what we're doing so go change and head to the gym."

We all headed down to the locker room and quickly got into our clothes before going to the gym.

"Hello students!" All Might said triumphantly. "This is going to be a simple and fun exercise, you should all enjoy. Now, you will be alowed to use your quirks, but remember it's just a game-!"
