Inko Midoriya woke up early on January 1st, 2020. It was the new year and she was eager to prove that she could be a better mother to her baby boy.
She got dressed quickly and began making pancakes in the kitchen. An hour later, the greenette stepped back from the table to admire her work. On the wooden table lay a tall stack of pancakes, a plate of bacon, some scrambled eggs, syrup, butter, and orange juice. She nodded and went to go wake up Izu.
*Knock Knock* "Izuku?" No response. Just as she was about to open the door to his room, her phone rang. Inko went back in the kitchen and picked it up.
"Inko," came the voice of her friend Mitsuki Bakugo. "Where is Izuku?"
"Asleep in his room?" replied Inko questioningly.
"Check." Something in Mitsuki's voice was unsettling. Inko opened her son's bedroom door to find it without her son in it.
"H- he isn't there?"
There was a pause. "Mitsu-"
"Inko, last night Izuku came and gave a note to Katsuki." What?
"What did it say?"
"It's... I... Inko, Izuku either ran away or he kil- he's gone, Inko. Izuku is gone."
*Clack* Inkos phone fell to the floor.
"In... ko... You the... Inko?"
The line cut off.

"KATSUKI!!!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT HAG!?"
There was no reply till a banging came to Katsuki's door. Dang it. His mom was at the door.
"You got a letter from Izuku." Deku?
"Don't want it," he replied. A moment passed before he heard paper shuffling. Katsuki looked to see a slip of paper sliding underneath the crack in the door.
It's probably some sappy junk. He sighed and left it for the night.
When Katsuki awoke New Year's Day something felt off. Rather than it being a new year, it felt like a sense of foreboding. He shook it off as nothing though. As he got up to use the bathroom, Katsuki heard something crumple. He looked down to see the note underfoot. Katsuki rolled his eyes and picked it up.
He read it.
In five seconds flat, Katsuki was banging on his parents door. His mom swung it open with a massive bedhead.
"WHAT DO YOU WA- uph!" Katsuki slammed the paper in her face and she took it. "Goodbye?"
"Call Auntie Inko. Right now."
Mitsuki dialed Inko on speaker, her husband Masaru standing by. Inko answered on the third ring. "Inko," started Katsuki's mother.
"Where is Izuku?"
"Asleep in his room?" came Aunty's voice from the mic.
"Check." The creaking of a door could be heard. Katsuki held his breath. "H-he isn't there?"
No...
Mitsuki bit her lip. "Mitsu-"
"Inko, last night Izuku came"
NO!
"What did it say?" came the soft voice of Auntie Inko.
"It's... I... Inko, Izuku either ran away or...
Suddenly the words Katsuki said sometime ago repeated in his head.
-----
"If you want a quirk THAT badly..."
-----
"he kil- "
-----
"take a swan dive off the roof and hope for one in your next life!"
-----
"he's gone, Inko. Izuku is gone." Katsuki's breathing began to shorten. It's my fault...
*Clack*
"Inko? Inko? Are you there? Inko?" The phone cut off. His heart was beating a mile a minute.
It's my fault!
"Ink- KATSUKI!?" Katsuki's knees hit the floor and he doubled over. His chest tightened and his vision grew hazy.
IT'S MY FAULT!
Masaru and Mitsuki were by his side trying to calm him down.
ITSMYFAULTITSMYFAULTITSMYFAULTITSMYFAULTITSMUFAULTITSMYFAULT!!!
Katsuki Bakugou passed out from lack of oxygen.

Durning the 24 hour period that one has to wait to file a missing persons report, Mitsuki spent all of her time with Inko.
Katsuki was made to stay home with Masaru, his father, by his side. He had yet to udder a single sound since blacking out.
The next day a missing person file was started for Izuku Midoriya. Inko did not have a photo of Izuku's recent change in appearance so they had to use one of his old self.
The day after it was on the local news.
The next day, on Japan News Today, the national news, was the headline:
SIX PEOPLE GONE MISSING ON NEW YEARS EVE, ALL QUIRKLESS
, along with pictures of the missing persons.
After a month of Izuku being gone, Inko Midoriya was entered into a psychiatric hospital. Guilt, worry, shame, sadness, pain. Inko was mentally unstable. She was known by all the nurses as the one who wouldn't turn off her music box.
The Bakugous visited often, Mitsuki ever day.
Inko made a few other mentally unstable friends there, her best being Rei Todoroki, wife of Endeavor.
Katsuki Bakugou started therapy for sudden muteness. They chalked it up to the shock of his childhood friend gone missing and he was currently undergoing sign language classes. He kept the note in the dresser by his bed.
A month after Izuku went missing, Soft Blossom Bakery opened for business.
