Bakugo has always been on the harsher side with his smaller classmate, Deku. They grew up together, and Bakugo had always had a soft spot for him that he greatly disliked. He bullied the smaller quirkless kid, as to not feel more than he already had...
It had been a few days since Bakugo had started avoiding Izuku in hopes to become the worlds greatest hero. Bakugo was feeling more depressed than usual, and he was mad at himself for falling for Deku in the first place.
Deku was just a stupid nerd, but Bakugo wanted him to be his stupid nerd, and Bakugo hated that truthful fact.
Deku was feeling similar, often skipping meals due to his sadness. He wouldn't show up for lunch with his friends sometimes because he was scared that they'd say something about the fact that he was not eating. He walked to class on his own unusually, avoiding all help from his 'older brother' Todoroki.
And while he thought he had kept his depression secrete his friends had all taken notice, and were trying to help him. They could tell when the greenette was lying, and so when he lied about being fine it truly got to them. Often times they would death stare Bakugo as he walked into class, causing him to almost go off on them.
Bakugo was far more angry than usually, almost constantly going off on people, and harming people greatly in training battles, and seeing this made Deku worry for him hoping he found some sort of relief soon, even though Bakugo was causing him so much pain.
Deku's P.O.V.
'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP'
I woke up at my mothers house on a Monday morning, tired, completely ignoring my alarm clock for a moment attempting to escape this world, falling back into a deep sleep. I had gotten about thirty minutes of sleep that night. During my attempt to fall back asleep, my mother entered my room and woke me up personally forcing me to get ready for school. My mom felt sympathetic for my sadness but understood that it was her responsibility as a mother to send me to school, and assure I get a valid education to become the hero I want to be.
I walk into my bathroom, holding my clothes and change into them, before brushing my teeth. I felt unmotivated to do any skin care or anything for my hair making it look far messier than usual.
I was looking completely different than usual. I looked more petite and defined as I had skipped so many meals, deep bags were embedded beneath my eyes, and my skin was far more pale than usual. I was mentally and physically exhausted and didn't want to continue on anymore. I had lived my entire life feeling pain, but this was by far the worst I've ever experienced.

(This is kinda how Deku looked, minus the tears.)
I threw on my U.A. uniform, and walked out the door not speaking a word to my mother as I didn't want her to mention breakfast or force me to sit down and speak with her about my recent behavior.
I walked to school keeping my head down low, not really paying any attention to anything besides the road below my feet. Eventually I had arrived at U.A. and let out a deep sigh as recently this place has made the most depressed. I threw on a fake smile (like the one in the photo.) and walked myself into the school, running into Uraraka and Iida.
