What the blonde had been saying wasn't necessarily wrong... but he wasn't entirely right either. Had Midoriya fallen back into bad habits? Yes, but not all of them. He was still able to eat at least one meal a day, even if it made him physically sick. He kept it all down even though his bod tried to reject it. It was his body's way of telling him he wasn't worthy of the food he was digesting, and that frightened him.

Although he had been able to force himself to eat, he couldn't force himself to steer his eyes away from the scars that littered his body. They were honestly revolting to the greenette, and he hated them so much. But he showed them to the world anyways, because there was no going back now, what he did to his body would be there forever, so there was no point in hiding it for the rest of his life. So he didn't. But looking at his scars reminded him of how useless he was, and how he wasn't near good enough. That was one habit he had slipped back into.

Insomnia also haunted the poor, fragile boy. He'd lie awake at night, staring into the nothingness of his white ceiling. Dangerous thoughts racing inside his head. What if he just opened his window and jumped out? They were a few stories up, surely some kind of damage would be done, though he wasn't entirely sure it would finish the job. So he didn't, instead deciding to just lay there, eyes wide open and alert until it was already past four in the morning. He just couldn't find himself sleeping. He didn't deserve it.

Although a certain dual colored teen had been in and out of his room constantly, he never told him about how he felt. He never muttered a word about having fallen back into old, dangerous habits that could leave him in a hospital for months on end. He didn't say anything about how physically, and mentally, difficult it was for him to make sure he ate something everyday. He never once mentioned how he couldn't sleep anymore, or what kinds of thoughts ran through his head at dangerous hours of the night. He couldn't explain it to himself, so how in the hell would he be able to tell someone else about it? He didn't want to be a burden.

Todoroki knew something was up though, and tried to give subtle advice about the demons the freckled boy was fighting without scaring him off. But he knew he didn't have a lot of time before Midoriya finally had enough of it all. Not enough time before he decided to end it all. So the two toned boy was going to confront him today. 

The taller teen walked into the shorter's bedroom, shutting and locking the door behind him. The greenette sat up from his staring absentmindedly at the wall. He gave a weak smile and patted a spot next to him on the bed, inviting the other boy to sit down. He did, walking very gently, not wishing to scare the boy.

"So," he started, trying to think of the correct words to make sure the shy boy doesn't have a breakdown, "I know, Midoriya. I know you've fallen into old habits from back in high school.  I know you're scared, but I really just want to help you. Please let me." The omega sat in shock, he thought mo one was ever going to realize that he was deteriorating before their very eyes. He sighed, shuddering. he had never heard the alpha sound so helpless.

"I'm so sorry Todoroki," he started to cry, "I didn't want to be a burden, so I'm trying to figure this out on my own. Though, obviously that isn't working." He gave a stifled chuckle. He really hated feeling like he was a weight on someone else's shoulders. He hated talking about his problems the most.

"Midoriya you have, and will, never been a burden," the taller boy pulled the other into a warm, platonic embrace, "I want to help you. It's my decision to do so. No one is making me, so please just let me make you happy again." The pleading tone in his voice, the wavering, it all caused Midoriya to break down into heavy sobs. No one had ever care this much about him before.

"Okay," he whispered. The greenette proceeded to pour out his guts, unaware of the blonde eavesdropping outside his door. He told Todoroki absolutely everything.
