Downward Spiral (Izuocha)

Chapter 35 The storm

Izuku P.O.V.

"Goodbye guys, I'll be in my room." I say, as we had just finished eating dinner at the dorms and I still can't believe the day we shared. Of course, lunch with Kacchan was not that fun considering he was just staring at me while we ate in silence, studying me to see some sort of inconsistency or actually, a lack of it as I had turned my appearance for the better in one night, but it was probably because I dreamed of a world without me. A world that wasn't useless. "Goodnight Midoriya" most of them said, except for Kacchan and Uraraka, who decided to start following me. Throughout the entire day she was the most skeptical, not satisfied with our talk in the morning, but it soon changed when we started hanging out as a friend group, and her worry was replaced at fast speeds. It was disheartening to know that her worry was somewhat fake as she could stop whenever she wanted, however, seeing her smile and bubbly attitude made me realize just why I am doing this and why I fell in love with her. A smile that could out shine some stars, her playful and approachable nature and her being a genuine good person overall. She definitely deserved better than me.

We were reaching my room after a small walk in silence, her eyes darting constantly from side to side as if calculating her next words carefully. She didn't know it would be the last time she spoke directly to me, but she seemed to want to end the day on one last positive note between us, even if almost all we had were positive moments. Finally at my door, she tapped my shoulder for me to turn around and I look at her, eyes watering a small bit, either from happiness for today's events or sadness that this was our last time speaking. 'No, that's not it, she doesn't know, right?' "Thank you Deku, for keeping your promise and fixing this. We all missed you really. We were worried, I was. I wanted my best friend back to what he was." and although the words 'best friend' hurt worse than drinking acid and feeling it destroy your insides at an agonizing pace, it was a reality check that I really did need. Just like when All Might told me I couldn't be a hero, he was right. "I'm glad I could keep my promise."

I entered my room, gave her one last smile that she returned back at full force, before closing the door and preparing the last item I would hold in my hand at the edge of the sink and making sure that all letters were in place, each one labeled correctly. One for All Might and Mirio, one for my mom, and the last one for my friends in general, considering that they were all attending U.A. at the moment due to my quirkless state back since I was four. I was sure that I wanted to proceed, but I layed in my bed one last time, listening to the same depressing song I listened to countless times, thinking how although All Might wasn't here, it may have been for the best. I opened the curtains to my window and balcony, letting the dim white light from the moon one last time in my room, admiring the U.A. campus one last time and relax, knowing that it would be better without me. I grabbed my phone and sent a text to Uraraka before going to my bathroom, turning the tap of warm water for a few seconds before I did it. A long incision that went down my forearm deeper than ever before, while tears of both joy and sadness covered my cheeks. It stung like hell and I started to get black spots in my vision, stumbling down against the door.

Ochako P.O.V.

It was relatively late and dark outside, while I was headed to my dorm back from Deku's room when I was stopped by the buzzing in my phone due to a text message. I quickly open the message, seeing that it was from Deku himself and read 'Thank you Uraraka for everything you've done for me, ever since the entrance exams when you made me float before I fell face flat to the floor. You can stop worrying now, I'll be gone and you can forget about me, even if I wanted something more. Goodbye, and maybe I'll see you in another life.' And as soon as I read that my body darted straight back to the boys area of the building before anyone could say anything. The people that were at the common area probably saw me, but I paid no attention until I got to the second floor, when I heard a loud thud on the floor from Deku's room. I instantly went in, feeling the tears that had been forming ever since I read the text with some sort of deja vu, and made my way to the door that led to his bathroom. I tried to open it while constantly screaming "DEKU!" for him to open up.

I kept trying to ram the door open, only to see the warm shining red liquid and water that I had seen before running up to my feet, when I gave one last ram to the door with my shoulder, opening the door and seeing Deku in a pool of his own blood, his left arm covered in scars, far more than the ones he had due to breaking this arms, exposed to the world, revealing his dark secret. I ripped the long sleeve on his shirt and wrapped it around the top of his forearm to apply pressure to try and stop the bleeding from it becoming excessive. Deku's eyes were half closed, no emotion showing but a small smile spread across his face even after his attempt. The first one to arrive was Mister Aizawa, and as soon as he saw this, he called an ambulance and tried to rpy me off of Deku, while cursing under his breath. "Uraraka, let me take him outside, an ambulance is on its way, you did well." And with that, I let go of him and saw mister Aizawa take him while the rest of the students gathered at the door.The only thing I could do was sob uncontrollably.

Katsuki P.O.V.

I was in my dorm about to go to sleep when I heard round face constantly scream Deku full of agony and desperation, as if her leg had just been amputated.I growled lowly and made my way out of my room to head downstairs and see just what the hell was going on that would cause such an uproar. 'Especially from round face. Jeez, what the fuck happened with the nerd?' When I got downstairs to Deku's room I saw Aizawa with a familiar green haired boy in his hands, hanging limply as he was being rushed to who the hell knows where. I made my way through the crowd that had formed to see the nerdiest room of all, full of All Might merch and other shit, but there was something off. A metallic smell invaded my nostrils as I look down and I see a shining ruby liquid that had spread from the bathroom floor to his room, illuminated by the shine of the moon. I then saw round face sobbing uncontrollably coming out, I grabbed her by the shoulders, not really wanting an answer, but that shitty question is all that came out. "What the actual fuck happened?"

Heyo, this is heavy, yeah, I know. It had to happen, and it did. I also added a paragraph to put Katsuki's view, but don't worry, I'll add more reactions next chapter (including teachers). Also, should I make the notes a separate chapter so you guys know exactly what it says or na? It wouldn't count as a chapter and wouldn't break the schedule, so yeah. I hope you have or had an astounding day, remember you are all dazzling (as Aoyama would say) and I'll see you tomorrow.
