U.A. Monster Academy

(1)Ghost? Deku

Trigger warning ⚠️ Suicide⚠️

In a world where 80% of the population were monsters, Izuku was a normal human. He didn't have friends, yeah he had Katsuki who is there for him when he had a panic attack or when he didn't feel adequate. But the rest of the world would always be against him, he would always be the odd man out, the weakest person. For the last year, he wrote in his journal. He wrote every time he had a panic attack, every time he had a suicidal thought, he wrote about the happy days, the bad times, the good times, and the sad. He wrote everything down in those journals. And one day he couldn't take it anymore he put all the journals in a bag he put them in the tree closest to the bridge. He said his final goodbyes to the world and then left it.

But he had forgotten about the bracelet on his wrist that monitors his heart rate. Katsuki had given it to him years ago so he always wore it even in the shower so why would he remember it now. When he died he automatically got turned into a ghost. His first thought was to see Katsuki. It was like he was teleported to him. He hid behind the door to not be seen. He didn't actually know if anyone could see him. Katsuki was laying on his bed reading a book. Then it hit his nose as his phone went off with an alarm he didn't recognize. He watched as his face went from annoyed to scared.

Katsuki's POV

He's not. I refuse to believe that he's dead. He must have just taken it off. I'm calling him.

This is Izuku Midoriya I'll call you back as soon as I can.

"Why didn't he pick up he always picks up." I rushed downstairs to see if either of our moms knew where he had gone.

"Hey, mom do you know where Izuku went off to?" I asked Inko. Who had been a second mom to me since I was four.

"He said he was going on a walk in the forest. Why is something wrong?"

"No it's just getting late I didn't want him to miss dinner."

"Dinner isn't for another hour and a half or so."

"I know but if he's in the woods it's a long walk. So I'm just going to go find him. See you later."

With that, the werewolf tracked the watch to the middle of the forest. Hoping that Deku didn't do what he thought he did.

When I got there I found the backpack full of his journals. Reading the most recent one as I ran down the path to the river as fast as I could. The words in the journal just fueled my want to find my best friend and make sure he was okay. Even if I would never admit it he was like my little brother and I wanted to protect him no matter what.

After thirty minutes of searching, I found Deku's body.

"Why? Why do this to yourself? Now I have to tell our moms that you are dead and that you left me here to deal with the world alone."

"I'm sorry. I'll explain everything in a minute." I heard a voice say

"Where did that come from? Who said that?" And then I saw him, dressed in all white clothes, a hoodie covering his curly green hair. As he floated in front of me.

"I'm sorry for leaving. But I guess I was a monster all along."

"What do mean you're still dead? Are you a ghost? Can anyone else see you?"

"To answer your question. For right now. Kind of. Not that I know of. You see turns out I'm a Phoenix. I stay dead for about an hour then I reincarnate. For that hour I'm in a ghost-like state and while you were looking for my body I was checking up on our moms and seeing if they can see or hear me which they can't."

"How do you know you're a Phoenix not just a regular ghost."

"I don't know it's just a feeling. We'll see if I'm right in

His body went up in flames and his ghost was gone. The flames went out and after a few seconds he sat up, covered in ashes, in his normal body like he hadn't been dead for the last hour.

"I'm so glad I was right. Please don't tell our moms."

"I won't as long as you NEVER do that again AND you go to a therapist with me."

"Agreed. Thanks"

"For what?"

"Worrying about me and for keeping this a secret."

"You're my brother of course I was worried. Now come or we're going to be late for dinner."
