Illusion?

Memories

Izuku's POV

I opened my eyes to see I'm still on the  entrance gate. I jump down and try to feel the invisible barrier from yesterday. It's still there. Guess I'm still stuck here.

I see Bakugou coming in the distance. I wave at him. He doesn't seem to notice me though. Maybe he's lost in thought. A lot has happened for him yesterday.

He goes through the school entrance and he finally notices me. He doesn't say anything though. Must be because there are other students here. I can talk to him after class.

I followed him to his class and waited for him to finish. On the lunch break he went to he roof. I followed. There was no one in sight.

"Where did you go yesterday?" He asked. I'm not gonna lie I don't know myself what happened.

"First I was hugging you and the next thing I know I'm back here. I don't even know what happened and when I was trying to go out there was an invisible barrier blocking me. Maybe it was because I spent so much time here or something else happened mutter mutter mutter mutter mutter mutter mutter..."

"Oi Deku snap out of it! You're muttering, it's annoying!" I heard him say.

"S-sorry. Did I do that often when I was alive?" I asked. Maybe some of my memories will be back? Who knows.

"Yes you did. And it was fucking anoying." He said in 'I'm gonna fucking kill you' tone

"I know you said that I should probably not remember myself being alive but I want to know. I wanna know who I was." I said. I really wanna know who I was.

After a little bit of silence he replied.

"You were the most happy go lucky person I knew. The most cheerful. You could never give up on your dream, no matter how many times I told you it won't work out. You still believed you could do it." He said. I could see his eyes getting glossy. He's about to cry. I stayed silent and listened.

"You were also a total crybaby. No matter what happened, good or bad, you always cried." He actually chuckled at that. It was a sad chuckle though. I still stayed silent.

"My fucking pride was the only thing that prevented me from seeing how good of a friend you were. I-if I could I would go back in time and do it all over again. I-I never wanted you to die. E-even when I t-told you to go take a s-swan dive off the roof." He was full on crying now.

'He told me to kill myself?' I thought as some memories flood my mind. My head started throbbing as they did. The memories of my death. How I wrote the note. How I went to the roof. How I jumped. It all came back. I hugged Kacchan.

"I can remember my death now. Thank you." I said with a smile and teary eyes.

"Y-you don't hate me?" He asked. He was taken aback with how casual I sounded. I wasn't mad or anything. Just sad.

"I don't. But I won't forgive you yet. I'm not ready." I honestly said. He still drove me to suicide. I won't forgive him yet.

"Understandable." Was all he said. I let go of him and sat on air criss cross style but still being able to look him in the eyes without looking up.

"So how did the nicknames came to be?" I asked and he seemed confused. After a second or two he finally got it.

"Right uhh. You just started to call me Kacchan out of the blue. And mine for you, well, it came to be when you were announced quirkless. I just kinda started to call you Deku because it meant useless." He said as he scratched the back of his neck not looking me in the eyes.

"You probably don't want me to call you that anymore." He looked back at me with a sheepish expression.

"It's okay. You can still call me Deku." I smiled. I didn't mind him calling me that. I actually kinda liked it even though I knew the meaning of it. It just sounded good.

"I didn't expect that. I thought you would be mad at me." He said kinda nervous. I don't blame him though.

"I'm not mad. I'm just thankful that you helped me remember something. Even if it was one of the worst parts of my memories." I said truthfully. He just smiled.

He got his lunch box, sat on a bench and started eating. Well it is a lunch break nonetheless.

After the lunch break Kacchan went back to class. I followed him of course. When he had hero training he was amazing. He went boom and pah and kaboom! The way he used his quirk was amazing. He also had good tactics.

After he had to go home from school I followed him to the entrance gate.

"Let me check if that barrier is still there." I said as I went to the gate and put pressure on the air. The barrier was still there. I am stuck here for real and I'm not getting out.

"Well I guess I can't go away from here anymore." I said with a sad tone. I really wanted to go home with Kacchan.

"Don't worry I'll be here tomorrow." He said smiling at me. He then started walking home.

"See ya Deku." Was what he said going through the entrance of UA.

"Bye!" I replied cheerfully. I was actually pretty happy that I could talk to someone. Especially someone that knew me before I died.

I watched him as he went home till I couldn't see him anymore. That was an eventful day. I smiled.

I sat on the entrance gate and watched as the cars passed by on the busy street. I need to remember more from my past. I wish I could've met my mom. She must've suffered a lot after my death.

I need to ask Kacchan if he could tell me more about my past. I really want my memories back.
