One shot based on the song "1-800-273-8255" by logic.

Midoriya was just sitting at his desk, tapping his pen onto the wood on the beat of the music he was listening to while studying. Some would like it to be absolutely quite when studying but Izuku learned best with sound blasting in his ears. It cancelled out al his other thoughts so he could focus on what he was doing. That was up until-

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate?

'Me' he thought, pouting a little as he placed his pen down. He knew this song all too well. It's something he used to listen to in middle school a lot...

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine

I don't wanna be alive

Ah, there it is. That famous sentence. It's something that spooked in his head over and over again when he was in middle school. Before UA, before All For One, before All Might... Before he had friends, a place to call home...

I don't wanna be alive
I just wanna die today
I just wanna die

I don't wanna be alive
I don't wanna be alive
I just wanna die

How much he'd dreamed of taking his own life back then. How much he'd been up to that cursed roof, hesitating. Debating whether or not to jump. Of course he was always too pussy to do it, to end it all. He never got to feel the sweet relief of death...

And let me tell you why

All this other shit I'm talkin' 'bout they think they know it
I've been praying for somebody to save me, no one's heroic
And my life don't even matter
I know it, I know it, I know I'm hurting deep down but can't show it

Everyone always thought they were better than him because of their quirks... And they were. They really were. Midoriya became depressed because of it, yet nobody seemed to notice at the time. No, he just kept on smiling, living in a false reality he created for himself. A world where he too could become a hero. The green head smiled a little at that. Funny how fate can twist your life, isn't it?

I never had a place to call my own
I never had a home
Ain't nobody callin' my phone
Where you been? Where you at? What's on your mind?
They say every life precious but nobody care about mine

'Ha, true' he thought, spinning around in his chair and standing up to stretch. His mom always took great care of him, don't get him wrong. But she was just...absent. She was never home due to work and Izuku ate more meals alone than with her by his side... He only had her, because there were no friends to speak of. Certainly not when being the target of Kacchan's bullying. Nope, nobody dared come close to him. And if they did, it was just to kick him down to the ground. Nobody actually cared for a dumb quirkless like him...

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate?

"Nobody" Midoriya muttered while walking towards his dorm door. No one ever related to him or how he felt. He was just tossed around, never having any say in the matter. He was depressed, never able to show his true emotions...

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine

He opened up his door and glanced aside to see if there was anyone in the hallway. Empty. Good.

I want you to be alive
I want you to be alive
You don't gotta die today
You don't gotta die
I want you to be alive
I want you to be alive
You don't gotta die

When he listened to this song in middle school, he always imagined Kacchan at this part. He was just perfect, wasn't he? He had it all! The looks, the quirk, the character... He'd make an awesome hero! Minus the, uh, slight aggressive personality, that is... Yet the blonde deserved to live. he deserved this world, not a quirkless loser like him.

Now lemme tell you why

He pressed the button of the elevator, wobbling on his legs as he waited for its arrival.

It's the very first breath
When your head's been drowning underwater
And it's the lightness in the air
When you're there
Chest to chest with a lover

It's holding on, though the road's long
And seeing light in the darkest things
And when you stare at your reflection
Finally knowing who it is
I know that you'll thank God you did

Izuku never really connected with this part of the song until All Might came along. Until he started training to earn his spot at UA High to become a hero. The road sure as hell was long, and painful, but the reward was worth it. The light at the end of the darkest tunnel... He finally got to be a hero, just like he always wanted.

I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'
I know you're the reason I believe in life
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just tryna shed a little light

His mom, All Might, even Kacchan... They've all helped him become the person he was today... The green head sighed as the doors finally opened, glad no one else was inside as he continued his way downstairs.

It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now

"True..." he muttered as he adjusted his earpiece. He really did have everything to give right now. Everything to become the greatest hero he could be, to be loved, to be surrounded by friends he considered family.

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate?

I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine

The elevator doors opened and Midoriya walked out, quietly humming along to his music. He'd been depressed for a long time, thinking there was no way out other than death. Yet he was proven wrong and now here he is...

I finally wanna be alive
I finally wanna be alive
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die
I finally wanna be alive
I finally wanna be alive
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I just wanna live
I just wanna live

That's right. He just wanted to live! To live a happy life, to live to save others, to live to see another day!
"Oi nerd, what the hell are you smiling about?"
"It's nothing Kacchan!" Izuku quickly stated, waving his arms around as he laughed, passing the angry blonde on his way to the kitchen.

Pain don't hurt the same, I know
The lane I travel feels alone
But I'm moving 'til my legs give out
And I see my tears melt in the snow

Yeah, being All Might's successor felt like a pain in the ass sometimes... It's a burden for him alone to bare, a road he must walk alone. Or so he originally thought... He has Toshinori, he has his friends! He'll never be alone again!

But I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry anymore
I wanna feel alive
I don't even wanna die anymore

No, he won't be the crybaby he used to be anymore. He won't fall into that same darkness ever again!

Oh I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't even wanna die anymore
