Confessions Part II

Kacchan POV:

SCARS?! "What the-why the-how long?" was all I could muster. He does this too?

I felt myself get light headed and I tried my best to not blackout. Come on Katsuki! Be a man damnit!

He didn't say anything for a moment he just looked at his arms and then back at me.

Am I the cause?
"Yes and no."
I said that out loud?
"Yes Katsuki you did."

Deku POV:

I sat there for a moment trying to piece together what I wanted to say. "Am I the cause?" His voice was shaky and just a little bit above a whisper. "Yes and no." He looked... distant...like he was thinking but apparently he likes to think out loud which I thought was cute.

"I understand the pain...or at least can relate. But... trying to end it all or for lack of better words take the ultimate nap isn't going to solve anything Kats-" "Don't fucking call me that...it sounds weird when you say my name... just call me Kacchan ok Izuku."

"...Well then just call me Deku... it's weird if you say Izuku." I said teasingly. Kacchan looked up at me smirking. I missed this...the ability to have normal conversations without shouting...he was always playful...

Kacchan POV:

He still hasn't answered me yet...

"How long? Deku answer me." My roughness and persistence didn't surprise him but his smile faded and his eyes grew cold.

"Middle school. That's when you're bullshit was the worst... but...I did take a swan dive Kacchan...then my mom took me to a Hospital for a while and I haven't looked back..."

That's why he was gone for those 2 mo?
I swallowed the lump of guilt in my throat

Flashback Kacchan POV:

"Take a swan dive off the roof maybe you'll get a quirk in your next life!" As my "friends" laughed I noticed that Deku didn't look phased by my words? "Tch stupid Deku! C'mon let's go." As I walked away I tried to shake the feeling I got.

"Old Hag I'm home!" Silence "OLD HAG?" Where the hell is she?! Then I heard the crying...I bolted towards it dropping everything and busted into my parents room to find my mom sobbing and my dad comforting her.

"Katsuki... it's Izuku...he...he jumped off the roof of the middle school..." I stood there before running out of the room my parents calling me back. I ran and ran and ran. Maybe I'm sleeping? Maybe it's a sick joke? I only said that because...why did I say that? To impress my so called friends? The only true friend I had was..."IZUKU!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs before I sobbed for an hour and grabbed a blade...

End of flashback

Deku POV:

"KACCHAN? KACCHAN?! KACCHAN!???!!!!" He had been sitting on his bed with tears rolling down his checks and he won't say anything. I got up from the bean bag chair and sat down next to him. I pulled him into a hug expecting him to shove me away but he just buried his face into my chest and muttering his apologies and that he didn't mean it. We sat like that not even caring to check the time.

Just 2 young men that were broken but slowly healing...
