Too Late

Fourteen (Midoriya P.O.V)

"Love..?" Midoriya pushed himself away from Bakugou, standing up with a dark look in his eyes "You love me? Don't make me laugh!" He brought his hands to his hair, tangling them in his curls "After we found out I was quirkless, you did nothing but treat me like shit! All because I worried about you and tried to help you out of the damn water." He could feel Bakugou's eyes on him, and he didn't hate it as much as he thought he did.

"Deku.." Bakugou started to speak again, but Midoriya cut him off.

"You and those friends of yours were always 'Useless this and defenseless that! Oh look, Deku tripped again. Maybe if he had a quirk!' You never once showed actual worry for me! You beat me down, and blew up my notebooks. You mocked my dreams and you told me to kill myself!" He could feel the burning sensation of tears in his eyes, and his stomach was doing flips "And I thought about it! 'Maybe Kachan will finally understand my pain. Maybe he will be sorry for what he did. Maybe I should just kill myself' I almost did it! But I got attacked by that stupid sewage thing. That Sludge Villain." He was ranting right now, something he needed to do and hadn't done for a while. He took a deep breath as Bakugou started talking.

"Deku I never wanted.."

"Shut up and listen!" Midoriya shouted, gripping his hair painfully. "All Might saved me that day. He saved me from that Sludge and I thought for just a second that maybe I didn't have to die. I told him that I wanted to be a hero, and you know what Kachan... he told me to give up too." The tears started falling down his cheeks. He could stop talking, it was like Bakugou had flipped a switch "I went home that day and got rid of everything Hero. I even threw out the notebook you destroyed. Kurogiri found that though. He told me he had use for me." He dropped to his knees "I'm not useless here. Even without a quirk I'm helping. I can do great things as a Villain Kachan." He looked up and saw Bakugou through blurred eyes. The boy's eyes were wide and he looked like he was trying to figure out what to say. Instead, the little green bird dropped the key in front of Midoriya. With shaking hand, the freckled boy reached out and unlocked the collar.

"Leave, Bakugou." He spoke softly. Bakugou reaches out to touch him, but stopped and stood up. Leaving like Midoriya asked. Maybe he was going back to those friends of his. Maybe he was going home. Midoriya didn't know where Bakugou was going, but as soon as he was gone he finally spoke up again "I killed myself that day, Kachan.. I'm not weak little Deku anymore.. I'm sorry I did this" And just like all the time before, he threw up.
