Izuku pov:

I didn't know what to do, what can you do if your dream's crushed? How do I react? I just stared at All Might, the one person who I thought could give me hope, but he was just like everyone else, Kacchan was right.

What was I thinking? Me, quirkless Deku, a hero? Yeah right, I was nothing more than a child hoping for the impossible. It was pitiful.

I hung my head staring blankly at the ground, I could hear All might talking, but all I could hear was static. I smiled bitterly at the ground when he left and looked at the edge of the roof.

I tilted my head and for a moment I entertained the idea of taking Kacchan's advice, but shook my head, what if they blamed Kacchan? He'll never be able to become a hero and what if All might blamed himself?

No, I couldn't let that happen, besides it was nothing more that an easy way out. Nothing was that easy for me. With a small humorless smile I left.

***

I'm not sure how I ended up at a villain attack, instinct maybe, or maybe it was just a habit I couldn't quite get rid of, but looking at the villain, I felt numb. All I could see was Kacchan trying to escape. Dying.

He was dying, the heroes weren't helping him and before I even knew what I was doing, before I could so much as think, I was running towards them.

I quickly throw my bag at the villain's eye allowing Kacchan a few seconds to breathe, before his mouth is covered by the slime again and I started clawing at it. I knew it was pointless, I was almost killed by it after all.

I could hear myself talking and I knew I was crying, but how was I supposed to help?

The only reason I wasn't dead is because All might saved me and like the thought summoned him - speak of the devil and he will appear - I heard All Might shout something and in seconds the slime was gone.

I slumped to my knees relieved while I watched Kacchan breathing, he was okay, he was alive. I barely registered the fact it was raining.

***

I didn't look at the heroes while they lectured me and praised Kacchan, of course I was angry, but I didn't say anything while I waited for them to get it over with so I could go home.

In the corner of my eye I saw Kacchan leaving. I scowled as the so-called heroes continued to lecture me.

I saved him or I at the very least I tried to, something no ine else was going to do, not even the heroes and I get lectured for it.

Kacchan did more damage than good and he gets praised and all because he had a flashy quirk, how idiotic.

"Can I leave now?" I asked my voice barely a whisper, the hero grunted in response before walking away mumbling something about reckless youth.

I got up and left. I didn't want to be here anymore. I just wanted to go home.

Unfortunately, like usual I suppose, I couldn't get what I wanted.

Kacchan stopped me a few blocks away from my apartment. He was glaring at me coldly as he did so.

I didn't really care about what he had to say so I ignored him until I heard the words "I don't owe you anything." leave his mouth and with those words something snapped in my mind. I sneered at him, I didn't care about the consequences anymore.

"You're pathetic, you did more harm than good and you want to call yourself a hero? What a joke." I said without much thought, I just knew I had to say it.

I was so tired of him getting what he wanted just because of his quirk. He and everyone around me has been using me and abusing me, just because I was quirkless, I was sick of it, I worked harder than all of them and they get the praise.

"You're better of a villain."

After that I couldn't remember much, I remember Kacchan's angry face, a bright light before I found myself screaming and sobbing in pain my hands covering my left eye.

I heard footsteps, someone was running away, probably Kacchan and if I wasn't mistaken I think someone else was running toward me. I blacked out before I could see who came to my rescue or what I hoped was my rescue, maybe Kacchan will get his way and I'll die.

Bakugou pov:

I froze and stared down at Deku's shaking, screaming, sobbing form. The blood on my hand all the more noticeable as Deku held his hands where mine was just moments ago.

I could smell blood and burned flesh. Deku stopped screaming, he was just sobbing now. I didn't know what to do, but when I heard footsteps and a surprised shout.

I started to run away, away from the blood, the smell of burning flesh, away from Deku who was helpless and sobbing as a stranger approached him.

I wanted to hurt the nerd, but I didn't want that, I didn't even think I was capable of doing something like that

All I could think about was the blood, there was so much blood, and for one selfish moment I thought I will never be able to get into U.A because of this.
