kirishima POV

"now that your friend is gone, eijirou...
care to explain why you had to waste so much of my money for the hospital bills?"

i swallow.

"i-i'm sorry, father. it won't happen again..."

"damn right it won't happen again! we're leaving."

he turns around to walk out of the door, before he mumbles
"i'll have to punish you for this."

i try to get out of the bed, struggling to move my body.
the drips are still connected to me.
my father storms over and rips them out of my veins, as i wail in pain.

"hurry up." he demands, forcing me to get up from the floor.
i wearily try to keep up with my father's walking as i fight the pain.

"uh, sir?" a nurse's voice from behind calls.

"your... son isn't discharged yet."

my father spins around, and puts his fake friendly smile on.
"no, no. he's discharged and he's feeling all better now, aren't ya?"

i was forced to nod.

                                ———————

my head slams against the wall, my legs getting weaker than they were before.

"YOU BRAT! I DIDN'T RAISE YOU TO BE WEAK!" my father screams, kicking my stitched arm.

i cry out in pain, trembling in helplessness.
you didn't raise me at all...

...i want it to end.

"IF YOU WANNA DIE, DO IT! KILL YOURSELF LIKE ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE TRIED BEFORE!"

his words stab through my heart like a knife.
i knew he didn't care about me, but it's different when he says it to my face.

he hardens his fist, swinging it towards my face.
i don't even try to move.
i know i'll get hurt anyway so what's the point.
i look up with blank eyes.

his fist smashes into the side of my face.
pain rushes through my cheekbone as i scream in agony.

"IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA END IT, I WILL FOR YOU!" he yells.

his eyes seemed fiery with rage, which only happened when he was serious.
this is really the end for me.
why do i feel so relieved?

oh well...

at least it means i don't have to suffer anymore.
i'll be at peace.

goodbye world...
goodbye katsuki.

my eyes gently close.

                                ———————

...nothings coming.

i'm not in pain.
am i dead?

...gunshots?

i feel a soft hand on my face, as my eyes slowly open hesitantly.
kind red eyes were gazing into mine.

"katsuki?" i whisper.

is he an angel from heaven?
he smiles, holding me in his arms.

"i'm sorry it took so long..." katsuki murmurs.

i jolt in confusion, looking over katsuki's shoulder, around the room to see police officers surrounding my father.

he's getting arrested...?

"f-father?"
he glares at me with toxic eyes.
he's confined by the police and forced out of the room.
he doesn't say a word.
it takes a while to process it, but once it came to me, i couldn't stop the tears.
i was finally free from my father.

"th-thank y-you..." i breathe.

katsuki holds me tight into his chest, as he lets me sob.

"its alright kirishima... it's over now."

relief floods my soul.
all the times i wanted to die from him...
all the times i've been hurt mentally and physically...
all the times i felt like i was unlovable...

all these years of pain and torture i've put up with have finally come to an end.

"it's over..."
