No Love, Just InSaNiTy (Book 1)

Chapter 9

The next day, Izuku stared at the head of his old brunette friend in a small tank filled with water sitting on his shelf as he lay on his bed with his arms folded behind his head. He thought about the now-deceased brunette. She wanted to be friends with him and she even loved him, but he knew that it was all a lie. She fell in love with the facade that he put on. His true self was unlovable because he knew that to anyone else, he would be seen as a monster. Did he really care though? No, he had more important things to worry about. There was no point in dwelling on it because she's dead now and there is nothing that he can do about it.

"Everything is alright. This is for the better. Everything is going according to plan... I just need Toga to make it back safely..."

Toga

Toga sat down at Uraraka's desk completely disguised as the brunette herself. She noticed a spiky-haired blond sitting at his desk with his feet on his desk with another male student who had red hair trying to start up a conversation with him.

"Uraraka! Ashido ran over to her and put her arm around her shoulder. So~ how did things go with Deku???" The pink girl asked.

"Huh?"

"Yeah! What did you and Deku do yesterday while you walked home???" Tsuyu asked as she walked closer to them.

"Deku and I? Uhm... We just talked a little! After a certain point, we separated but other than that we were pretty quiet."

Ashido sighed in disappointment. "You should have asked him out!"

"I haven't known him long enough!" Toga lied through her teeth. She could see that Bakugo was getting visibly upset.

"Hey, Uraraka! Thanks for inviting us out to the mall! I really needed a day to just have fun, you know??" Denki said as he walked over to the disguised brunette. "I never thought I'd get to meet a quirkless dude thou-" Suddenly Bakugo abruptly stood from his chair and stormed towards his four classmates. "Alright, spill! Where did you hear that name?!"

"Dude, what's wrong???" Denki asked.

"Answer the damn question dunce face!"

"You mean Deku? We met him yesterday at the mall." Tsuyu answered as she placed a finger on her chin, curious as to what piqued his interest. Bakugo seemed to actually be angry, more on edge than usual.

"What did he look like...?" The explosive boy asked.

"He had... green hair... taller than me, he was around our age... He looked to be 17 or 18 years old. Oh, it looked like he dyed the tips of his hair red, it looked really good on him! He was also really sweet! Maybe a little shy." Ashido explained. The red-eyed boy looked to be in shock.

Katsuki couldn't come to terms that Deku... His Deku was possibly still alive. He had been missing before they could even graduate from Junior High and now he's been told that Izuku mother fucking Midoriya has been alive and well this whole time while he's been sitting here at U.A. filled with regret because he thought that the nerd had gone off and killed himself because he told the boy to do so. He was beyond pissed. How dare he just go off to the mall with some friends while his mother was still at home crying over old photo albums, crying herself to sleep. How dare he have fun while everyone he left behind was still suffering.

"What's got you so worked up man?" Denki asked.

"Oh wait! Deku told me that you two use to be childhood best friends, right??" Toga asked just to rile him up even more.
