{Deku PoV}
Deku sighed, sounding tired more than anything.
"I've made a mess of things again hm?" He untied Kirishima.
"It's not really your fault Mido..." Kirishima rubbed his wrists, wincing.
"Isn't it? I let him turn me. Worse, I let you in and now you're hurting... I didn't want that before. I don't want it now. I can sneak you out," Deku smiled fleetingly.
"...You'll come with. Right?" Kirishima stood.
"...Of course..." Deku took Kirishima's hand cautiously. Kirishima laced their fingers, smiling at him.
Deku glanced out in the hallway, glancing back and forth. The coast was clear, so he pulled Kirishima out, leading him down the hallway. He didn't hear the footsteps. Neither did. Deku reached for the doorknob, when he felt eyes on him. He froze, turning around slowly.
"Well well... look what the cat dragged in... wasn't this your little boyfriend, little twerp?" Dabi stood behind Kirishima, his hand on his shoulder. Deku froze, his pulse thundering in his ears, his heart beating in fear.
"D-Dabi..." his mouth felt dry.
"Oh Izuku... did you really think we could just let you guys go? You can't leave. And now that you've brought your little friend, neither can he..." Dabi smiled softly, his hand now letting off wisps of smoke. Kirishima winced, locking eyes with Deku.
"Dabi no! Let him go! Please..." Deku stepped forwards.
"Awww, you become attached to this little whore? You haven't even seen what he did with Bakugo..." Dabi's hand was now spurting little flames, scorching Kirishima, who was currently using his quirk, his skin hardening against Dabi's heat.
Deku jumped, hearing someone behind him.
"Hi Izu-Chan~," Toga giggled softly, now a lookalike of Deku.
"Wh-when did you get my blood?!" Deku backed away from her.
"We keep blood from everyone here..." Dabi smirked.
"Dabi please. You can do whatever you want to me, just let him go," Deku's voice was laced with desperation,, as he ignored Toga, more worried about the situation with Kirishima.
"I can do anything I want with you anyways," Dabi chuckled.
Suddenly Deku felt something on his arm, it didn't hurt... it was almost a slippery feeling, his skin parting. He glanced down, seeing red drip past his fingers. He pulled a knife out of his sleeve, lunging at Toga, who's own knife was now bloodied. They grappled, until Kirishima lost track of who was who. He struggled against Dabi's grip, who then wrapped an arm around his neck. He twisted, trying to get Dabi to loose his grip to no avail.
He swung his elbow back, hitting Dabi's stomach. Dabi's grip loosened, and Kirishima pulled away, pivoting and hitting the back of Dabi's head in one quick movement. Dabi crumpled to the ground, and Kirishima sighed softly. He turned, seeing only one Deku left.
"...Mido..?"
He stepped back cautiously.
"Kirishima... I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have dragged you into this mess..." Deku let a tear slip down his face. Kirishima walked over to him, hugging him softly.
"It's ok..."
"Eiji! Watch out!" A voice screamed. A familiar one. A sudden piercing pain exploded in Kirishima's back, and he stumbled back, away from the imposter he'd been tricked into believing was Deku. His breathing became ragged, and his vision clouded. He thought he saw one Deku melt into a blonde schoolgirl. The other one came up to him slowly. Or was Kirishima the one being slow..? He didn't know anymore. His vision focused in on Deku's eyes and he smiled faintly.
"Mi...do..?" He reached for him, his balance a little off.
Deku caught him, tears welling in his beautiful green eyes.
"Hey... don't cry..." Kirishima reached up unsteadily, brushing his tears away.
"Eiji no... you're loosing too much blood. Don't leave, please don't leave me..." Deku started crying harder.
"I won't... I promise... I'll always... be right...here..." breathing was getting harder. Kirishima pulled Deku into a hug, closing his eyes softly, tears threatening to fall.
Deku hugged him, as though trying keep the life in him safe. But his life was spilling out in red. He was ok though, because he was finally with Deku.  He didn't want to leave, he wasn't ready, but he didn't have a choice...
"Be...good... for me?" Kirishima whispered.
"I promise. Just don't leave..."
"I love you..." the words spilled past Kirishima's lips, his breathing slowing, until it finally stopped.
"No! Eiji please, please don't leave me, please! I...love you..." Deku kept crying, over Kirishima's body, which was loosing its warmth. His eyes would never again open, he would never smiled again...
