Ground Zero

"I'm fine..."

self-harm trigger warning 

Todorokis P.O.V

I watched bakugo run out of class and wondered what was wrong because he looked like he was close to crying, so I decided to follow him. I walked into the bathroom and called out

"Bakugo, are you in here?"

i waited a bit then heard a loud sob and knew that it was bakugo instantly.

"Bakugo i know you are in here.... Are you okay?"

He didn't reply so i walked to the door and knocked on it.

"Bakugo open the door please.."

recently i have started to feel something towards Bakugo, i don't know what it is but once i realised i was feeling things for Bakugo i have noticed that he has became quieter and a few days ago he had came into school with cuts and bruises on his face. i wanted to talk to him and make sure he was okay but I've never had the confidence to do so.

"I-I'm fine icy-hot fuck off.."

I could tell something was wrong so i knocked again no answer, I knocked once more no answer. I sighed and walked to the door and opened it then closed it still staying in the bathroom and stayed as quiet as possible. Once i did that i heard crying from the stall Bakugo is in.

Bakugos P.O.V

I heard the door close and started crying again, trying my best to stay quiet but failing miserably.

'another person who has just given up on you katsuki because you don't deserve to have people care about you, rember the note that your mom wrote? You're a disappointment no matter how hard you try, Even your own mother gave up on you'

I cried harder and put the blade back up to my arm and continued.

'four'

'you deserve this'

'five' 

'just do it and kill yourself already'

After about five minutes I looked at my arm that was covered in cuts and saw the blood on the floor. I reached up to the toilet dispenser to get something to clean it with and then realised that there was none left so checked under the stalls and saw no one was there. I stood up and cautiously unlocked the door only to be met with the half and half boy staring at me in shock. I look up at him with tears in my eyes and quickly retreated back into the stall but before i could close it Todoroki had stopped me. I fell to the ground and started crying harder, he crouched down in front of me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"let it out katsuki i'm here for you don't worry"

His voice sounded soothing and calm but i could tell he was shocked by what he had seen.

'katsuki you're such an idiot, you fucked up by letting him see. He's going to question you about everything'

 I didn't have any strength to push him away so i just sat there crying in his arms. 

After about ten minutes he pulled back and looked at me, i had stopped crying and was just sitting in his arms with a bloody arm and a rear stained face, I didn't look back i just kept my gaze on the floor and sighed.

"Katsuki.. why did you do this..?" He asked softly 

'he doesn't care, He's just saying this so he can use it against you'

I look up at him with emotionless eyes.

"why do you care anyway? all i do is be a dick to you.."

He just shrugged 

"because i do"

he said in the same soft tone which sent my heart into flutters. I caught feeling for Todoroki at some point after the sports festival. I stood up and walked to the sink and washed the semi-dry blood off my arm and got something to wipe the floor as well. After that i walked towards the door and grabbed the handle and opened the door running out, heading back towards the classroom. once i made it i walked in to see aizawa asleep in his sleeping bag and the class all talking among themselves not noticing i had entered the room so i took this into advantage and walked to my seat, crossed my arms on the table and putting my head down on them as i saw todoroki walk in the room, not wanting to talk to him after what he had just witnessed. I felt him walk up to me but then leave and walk to his seat.

~at the end of school~

Todorokis P.O.V

I walked out of the class and waited out the door for Bakugo so i could talk to him but Midoriya came up and started talking to me and i must've missed bakugo because he wasn't anywhere in sight. i sighed and walked back into the classroom to talk to aizawa, who was no longer asleep.

"Sensei? could i speak to you? Please.."

i looked at him and he nodded. I too a breath and started

"I'm concerned for Bakugo.. He has been cutting himself."

I said struggling not to tear up and by the loo on Aizawas face he was shocked and concerned as well.

"how do you now this.?"

he asked me in the same tired voice but with a little emotion behind it.

"he ran out of class earlier so i followed him and he had locked himself in a stall and i heard him crying. i tried to get him to open the door but he wouldn't so i pretended to leave and waited for him to open the door. once he did i saw that his arms were covered in cuts and blood..."

I had tears in my eyes as i remembered the sight. Aizawas eyes were wide.

"i have also noticed that he has been coming into class with bruises and cuts on his face, he always blames it on fights but i don't believe that.."

Aizawa nodded and looked at the ground before speaking up.

"thank you for notifying me of this i will talk to bakugo tomorrow"
