Can't Stop Me (Sick!Deku AU)

Wake Up

Katsuki Bakugo

I wasn't allowed to see Deku, this is bullshit. They had him in some room but I was forced to stay in a waiting room, it was a rather area and nobody else was in here. I had called my parents and then Deku's mom, she was on her way and so were my parents. When I had first arrived they had tried to treat me but I refused it, I was going to be here when Deku was allowed visitors. It's not like I'm hurt, Deku's the one who's really hurt. I couldn't protect him, why can I never protect him? He's weak but...so am I.

I heard a bang as a door slammed open and a flash of yellow shouted, "Katsuki!" I barely recognized my mom before she was checking the scratches I had all over my arms and face, I also had a bruise from where All Might had held me to keep me from blowing away. Honestly, it's nothing and I don't see why she's making a fuss.

I barely wrestled her off when my dad began checking me too in a calmer manner than my mom had, "I'm fine-stop!" He backed off and I huffed, god they're so annoying, "I wasn't attacked, I got all of these from my own actions. Deku's really hurt though..."

Mom smacked my head as soon as I finished speaking, "You idiot!" She shouted and before I could yell back her arms were around me, "Jesus kid. You have to be stronger than some middle schooler! You could have been killed!" I wanted to pull away because it's what I always do but I also felt better with mom here.

I let mom hug me and we sat on a couch together, dad sat beside me and had a hand on my shoulder. This is so embarrassing, if anybody saw us like this I would be so upset. None of us were talking but it wasn't awkward, it was a comfortable silence, usually I can only sit in silence with Deku since it's weird to be quiet around mom. I can't remember the last time I was in a room with my mom and we were quiet, maybe...when Deku was in the hospital the first time?

After maybe thirty minutes of letting mom and dad comfort me, the door opened again, it wasn't loud but we heard it and pulled apart to see Deku's mom running in. She was crying as she did a lot but this time it was because of her panic and worry, she hurried over and sat by us, "Wh-What happen-ed?" She asked, she looked exhausted as if she ran here which she probably did.

Mom looked at me so I knew it was my responsibility to tell her, "Deku and I-well we-I..." I couldn't figure out how to word what happened but for Ms Midoriya, I knew I had to, she deserved it, "So Deku and I stopped walking for a second on the...the way to the ice cream place. Anyway it-well, we noticed a villain and we started running. Deku he fell down and I tried to get him but I couldn't I just...I couldn't." Why are my eyes stinging? This is dumb, so dumb. I rubbed my eyes and shrugged dad's hand off when he placed it on my shoulder, "He was taken and I-I think the villain could use his quirk so he started setting fires. I tried to save him, really, I'm sorry-I couldn't-I'm so sorry I tried." This sucks, I should've been strong enough for him.

I thought mom hugged me again but mom didn't have green hair, "It's okay." Ms Midoriya said and squeezed me. We stayed like this for a moment longer, I didn't hug her back but she continued to hold me, "Thank you for trying. Izuku's had a hard time with friends, I'm so glad you two are close. I could never be mad at you." She smiled despite still crying and I couldn't help but smile with her, Ms Midoriya was a person you couldn't help but smile with.

I knew I was crying by now but I just kept my head down so they wouldn't notice, I mean they obviously knew but if I just kept my head down they wouldn't bother me. How can I be a hero if I can't protect one person? If I lose Deku then there's no way I can be a hero, he's the most important person to me if I can't protect him than what kind of hero could I ever be? I let the sadness leave but with it, I grew angrier and angrier, was I angry at myself? At Deku? The villain? All Might? I don't know I'm just...so angry.
