I'm Weak, But Tougher Than Iron (A My Hero Academia Fanfic)

Chapter 9-Back In Business

"So Izuku," Kohana began, "what do you think of this dress?" She walked forward before twirling around, her beautiful sundress accompanied by her hat made her look breathtaking. "It's good," Izuku stated, "but you...you are gorgeous." She blushed, "if you really think that of me, then you can take this off of me when we go to my home." She grabbed one of her shoulder straps and brought it up before letting it go, "Izuku, your nose is bleeding." She said before rushing to his side, she wiped the blood away as she asked "are you alright?" Izuku chuckled once before falling to the ground on his knees, "no, I'm not alright!" He slammed the concrete ground with his fist, causing it to shatter, "I can't keep having this fucking nightmare!" Kohana took a step away, "I can't keep watching you die! I just can't!" She looked as if she was going to bolt, "b-but I'm not dead, I'm right he-" Izuku screamed into the sky, "just take me out of this nightmare! Take me out! Take me out!" He repeated the sentence over and over as he rocked back and forth while holding each side of his head. Kohana only interrupted his breakdown when he began to maul himself, "hey! Izuku, stop hurting yourself, I'm right here!" She abandoned her fears of him suddenly attacking her and tried to stop him from killing himself. She grabbed his wrist and brought it away from his head...but she should've stayed back. She should've let him kill himself, otherwise she'd still be alive with a beating heart. Now she was ten feet from Izuku in a pile of her own blood, missing her left arm and part of her left side's torso. He heavily breathed in and out with his fist extended, he blinked as if in disbelief. "Did...I killed her? I guess I really did." He held his left eye as tears streamed from it, "I guess I really am like my dad." He slammed his head into the ground, drawing blood from it. "A no good," his skin was scraped away as a faucet of blood came gushing after hitting the ground again. "Filthy," his right eye came out with the third collision, "piece of shit murderer." When he slammed the ground for a fourth time he splintered his skull and pierced his brain with bone. Causing him to jump up wide eyed from his covers in a cold sweat.

      Izuku shut his eyes and groaned, "well that was...graphic to say the least." He shuddered at the thought of his right eye coming out, "I already know what the nightmare means, but I can't seem to go to sleep without having it." He sighed before lying back down and staring at the ceiling for a solid minute. Silently, he rolled onto his left arm and looked at his nightstand, his alarm clock was facing away from him so he grabbed it and faced it towards him. "Is it really only 4:00?" He rolled back over; an acceptance letter to U.A sat on his nightstand, the term was supposed to begin tomorrow. "Should I work on the microchip, or continue building up the chassis today?" He sighed, "I can't go back to sleep otherwise I might shatter something else brutally." It took Izuku three minutes to decide on what he wanted to do, which would be through a coin flip. He'd normally never do this, but both needed significant work on high grade equipment...which he didn't have. He was working with a phone and metal scrap from a beach, he was lucky enough to even find a working cpu despite it coming from a pc that looked like it was there for a year or more. It should've been broken down by rain, if not then by a tsunami. "Heads for the cpu, tails for the chassis," Izuku flipped the 100 yen coin into the air before catching it in his hand and covering it. "Based on the amount of flips, it should be tails," he revealed the coin to himself, it landed on the tail side just as he predicted. "I'll have to head down to the beach though, kinda running out of materials." He swung his legs off of the side of the bed and pulled his old wheelchair out from its corner, he needed it so he wouldn't agitate his transverse fractured Tibia. Once he sat in it, and positioned his leg properly, Izuku made his way for the door, ready to collect the metal needed for today.

        "I probably shouldn't have head out like this," Izuku picked up a piece of metal that looked mostly intact, but ended up tossing it due to the heavy amount of rust that was on the covered side. "Seeing as I could be targeted by the League of Villains, buuut this is the fastest way for me to be walking is through this. Plus I didn't tell anyone I was leaving to go to the beach." He pulled another piece of metal free from under an old washer, much to his surprise it was completely rust-free. He smiled before putting it into the small satchel that he attached to his wheelchair, "I should be home before mom goes to work, though. I don't want to worry her again," memories of Kohana flashed in his eyes. When he first met her in the alley, after he fried the monster with electricity, and when she decided to sleep in his room when Lana wanted something her to do something. A lot had happened in the span of five days...and a lot changed. Izuku quickly fell in love with her, her ideals, her beauty, and even her cold, but soft, perverted heart that he melted through. He blinked and reopened his eyes to see Kohana standing in front of him, except she was dead. "Why are you alive while I'm not?" She asked as she got in his face, blood spraying all over him. Izuku yelled out in fear before tipping his wheelchair back and hitting the ground, "what the hell!?" In his peripheral vision, he could see a piece of sharp metal sticking directly out of the ground, "well if you do that again I might just die too!"
