Hurt!Kaminari

Ghost!Deku

(Like my other oneshot, some pretty unrealistic conversations up ahead)

—————

Kaminari stood at the entrance of the forest. Holding a small lantern, he bravely started walking into the pitch black of the wilderness. The calls of his classmates faded as he walked deeper into the forest.

"I'm gonna die...." he mumbled. 

The Night Forest is a forest said to be cursed. Mysterious voices, silhouettes, monsters, all rumored to haunt the night. Hence, the name given. 

'Only 30 more minutes of this..... I can do this..... I can't be a hero if I'm not brave enough to handle a forest!' He told himself. He could barely see anything, the lantern gave enough light to see his surroundings, but it was still unsettling. 

Movement.

Kaminari swore he saw a shadow move past him. Trembling, he started backing up. "Hello?" He called out. "Is somebody there?"

Hello.

Kaminari felt a sudden gust of wind, causing him to jump. Kaminari inhaled and put on a strong face. "Who are you?!" He shouted to nothing. "What do you want with me?"

I'm a nobody. But you are somebody. A living person. It's been like, 50 years since I've talked to an alive person. All my friends are curious about you too. 

"Nope. I'm out." Kaminari mumbled. He started sprinting out of the forest. He was not about to deal with a bunch of ghosts trying to talk to him. 

Don't be like that. It may not seem like it, but we're all your friends. Countless people have come into this forest as a test of courage. But you're the only person I can talk to. Want to know why?

Kaminari froze. He couldn't move his legs. He hesitantly nodded. He just wanted to get out. He didn't care if the class called him a coward for only being in there 10 minutes or so. They could all go step on a lego.

I can tell you're hurt. I know you've been hurt. Made fun of because of your stupidity. Called a disgrace by your parents, because you barely passed your test every time. It lowered your self-esteem. You say everything's alright. But it's not. Every time somebody cracks a joke about your intelligence, you break inside, but hide it under all your smiles. I know what that feels like. We all  do.

Kaminari looked at the ground, a blank expression on his face. They knew. They knew everything. The facade, grades, painful jokes, self worth. They knew it hurt. Because.... they felt the same?

"Who...... are you?" Kaminari asked. 

Black smoke suddenly appeared beneath his feet. It rose, a black cloud in front of him. It soon dispersed into a translucent human. Dampened black hair with green tips. Faded freckles and dead green eyes with eye bags underneath. Bandages covered his body. He had dirty black clothing on. He had a small black diamond earring on his left ear.

Just call me Izuku.

"You..... I..... smoke......." Kaminari stuttered. He took slow steps towards 'Izuku'. He reached out his hand, and it passed through Izuku's figure. "Woah."

He finished observing Izuku. He looked like something out of a horror game, or a scary movie, yet Kaminari felt no fear towards him. "So, why are you talking to me?" 

I just want to have a conversation. So tell me, how's life in this generation?

"It's.... okay? UA is going great! Just a few more years and I'll be a real hero!" Kaminari exclaimed. Izuku nodded understandingly.
