Fixing myself (a KiriDeku fanfic)

Chapter 12

Mina's POV

I was already freaking out because of the fact that my predictions made sense, but I started to freak out more when I saw Midorya dragging an unconscious Kirishima behind him. My face blanched and I started to hyperventilate.

"Mina, stop." Midorya commanded, "He's not dead. I couldn't help him. He was freaking out so much and threatening to cut himself again. All I could do to help him was to knock him out. Can you help me take him to the nurse? I'm not strong enough, and he's bigger than me."

I nodded but motioned for him to give me a second. He patiently waited and started to get Kirishima in a better position to carry. Once I had my breathing under control again I walked over and positioned one of Kirishima's arms over my shoulder and helped Midorya to get him to to the nurse. 

*Time skip*

When we got to the nurse, we had to explain why we had a cut up and unconscious Kirishima hauled over our shoulders. Midorya recounted the tale since he was the one who was actually there. 

*See chapters 10 and 11, I think*

I hadn't thought to question him before because Kirishima needed to be cared for quickly, but as he was recounting the tale, I couldn't believe it. For an entire year, all we had seen was a smiling, laughing, and meme-ing Kirishima, but the redhead we previously thought as innocent had been hiding these not-so-innocent feelings this entire time. We had been staring at him at the lowest point of his life and had not even known it. And at that revelation, I began sobbing all over again.

*Time skip*/Izuku's POV

I don't know what they were doing with Kirishima (I'm not a doctor) but after about twenty minutes he started looking better and we were sent back to our game. When I walked into the room, Kaminari called out in a mocking voice.

"Hey, Midorya. You were gone for a long time, what were you doing with Mi-"

 The second Mina walked in, Kaminari got an elbow to the gut from Sero. Mina was a wreck. Her eyes and were red and puffy, just like her cheeks, and she had tear stains on her face, running from her eyes to her chin.

The second that was seen, Mina was bull-rushed by everyone in the class, except Kaminari, who was on the ground, wheezing and trying not to suffocate. Everyone started drowning Mina out with questions. If they would just shut up and listen!

I turned around and punched the wall with all my force. Everyone shut up and turned. "Let Mina speak!" I yelled. Everyone turned to Mina again, but this time the room was silent. I smiled with content.

In a shaky, choked-up voice, Mina spoke. "Kirishima had been harming himself for about a year before now, and he stopped because he loved and didn't want to hurt Midorya." a few people turned to look at me and then turned back as she kept talking. "But, when Midorya came out as 100% straight, his one lifeline just snapped. Midorya found him on the edge of the roof with a knife pressed to his skin, and if Midorya had gotten there a moment later, I don't think Kirishima would be alive."

At that, everyone turned to me. Before I knew what was going on, I had been mobbed in a giant hug. Everyone was sobbing at this point, screaming thank you and suffocating me with hugs. All of the people but two. Mina was on the floor, trying to help Kaminari breathe. 

"I think you went overboard on the gut punch, Sero. You might wanna go help Kaminari." I said, chuckling. Sero turned to Kaminari, gasped, and then started choking with laughter. He ran over to the blond boy and worked with Mina to help him breathe again.

As everyone started letting me breathe, I thought something up. I know exactly what I need to say to Kirishima as soon as I can.

And it was at that point I had a lucky break. The speakers in the dorm buildings went off.

Midorya Izuku, to the nurse. A patient has requested you.
