Regretful Past [Bakudeku Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Regret Twenty-Three

As we were still on our way home, I heard something from behind us. I think it was a scream, a few of them at that. I looked over my shoulder and when I did, I only wished I hadn't.

" Wasn't too long ago when we were face to face, now was it, Bakugou?"

" What the hell are you doing here, Shigaraki?"

" Simple. My younger sister wants to see the both of you, however, it's pissing me off that you two are the only ones she'll talk about. So I figured, I get rid of the barricade that's between us."

" Shit, Deku, push off me now!"

He did just that, and we both escaped Shigaraki's attack by mere inches. Sure, the guy got our daily clothing, but our hero costumes have been modified to withstand his quirk.

As I tried to stand up I grabbed onto a light pole, still going through the hypothermia that Icy-Hot bastard gave me. I suppose Deku saw this, which is what made him rush to me using his quirk and take us into an alleyway. After a bit, Deku stopped and gently set me down.

" You okay, Kacchan?"

" I'm fine, just let me stand up."

" Hey! Take it easy!"

When I tried to stand again I fell back against a wall, holding my body close, shivering. Todoroki got me good, I'll give him that, if Mr Aizawa hadn't come sooner, what would've happened to me? I didn't want to think about it right now, so I pointed my attention towards Deku.

" Deku, I want you to go get the pros. Go now while that bastard is looking for us."

" I can't leave you here, Kacchan! What if he finds you while I'm still gone?!"

" This is Shigaraki we're talking about here, Deku! He can't get me unless he gets close, and you'd better be damn sure I won't let that happen! Now go!"

" I'm not leaving you here, not after the time we spent together. Just like you couldn't bear having me gone, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I left you here and all that's left when I get back is a pile of dust!" Deku stopped there as he began to shed tears.

He covered his face with his hands and I watched as he shuddered and cried. I looked down to the ground and thought about what I said, and he was right. I was doing the same thing, only the roles were switched. I was signing my death wish so Deku could live. To be honest, though, I'd give my life for this nerd.

I thought about what I said and what I was asking of Deku, and came to a conclusion.

" Alright, Deku. We'll fight him together, or I'd being doing what you did the first time 'round. Sorry I asked that of you."

He sniffed and tried to dry his tears before looking up at me and planting a small kiss on my lips. He backed away and giggled a bit before helping me off the wall I was using for support.

" Well, well. That was quite touching, I must say. Too bad this'll be the last day for either of you to live!"

Suddenly, Shigaraki had gotten the drop on me and kicked me against a wall. I fell to the ground and groaned from the pain in my back and the back of my head.

" Kacchan!!!"

I proped myself onto my elbows and saw that Deku was running over to Shigaraki. I tried to shout for him to get away from him, but nothing would come out of my mouth. I watched as Deku fought against Shigaraki; he dodged all his attacks and was landing all of his, his fighting style resembled mine. He seemed like he wouldn't forgive Shigaraki for harming me, but I was fine with it. Now I know how serious Deku is with me, there's no reason for me to doubt him.

The fight continued until Deku landed a punch that knocked Shigaraki out. He huffed and puffed the air that he needed and had used before coming over to me.

" Kacchan! Kacchan, are you okay?! Nothing's broken, is there?!"

" I'm alright, just immobilized temporarily."

" I'll carry you to the hospital... What the?!"

I looked over to where Deku had his vision, and saw that Shigaraki was still moving.

" I must say, those punches hurt, but nothing is broken. You win this fight for now, but just be prepared, I'm not done yet."

After he spat his declaration of war on me and Deku, Shigaraki turned on his heel and ran off.

I heard Deku sigh, and before I knew it, he had collapsed on the ground right in front of me. When I tried to move my body, it rushed as fast as a fly escapes death. I held Deku in my arms, shaking him, calling him, brushing his hair rapidly.

" Deku, Deku come on, wake up. Oi! Wake up! Izuku!!!"

" ... K-Kacchan..."

" Izuku! Stay with me, come on! Wake up!"

He only said my name, and that's what made me worry. I was worried and frightened. Frightened that the same thing happened again, frightened that I had failed to save him, frightened that he'd die again. I quickly picked him up and stood, this time the strength in my body had returned. I steadied myself just to make sure before I broke into a run for a hospital.

AN: Here's chapter twenty-three. It's a tad bit shorter than usual but that's because I've got a few more chapters to write for this fanfic and I've already got pictures picked out. So yeah, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one!!!
