~Take me to the rooftop~
Izuku was getting to his limit. How much could one person really handle? The greenette was starting to ask that himself now. Why couldn't he have had a normal life? If he disappeared, would anyone really notice?
~I wanna see, the world when I stop~
He was losing sight of what was real and what was in his head. For all he knows, people were constantly glaring at him, judging him, whispering about him, even yelling at him. Sometimes he'd break himself out of it, enough to stop a panic attack, or enough to answer a question or two in class.
~Breathing.~
People around him were starting to notice a change in behavior. The light they once knew wasn't smiling as bright anymore. Wasn't as interested in heroes anymore. Hell, he barely looked alive. Anyone could tell he was going through something, nobody knew what though.
~sorry can't save me now...~
Note: depressed Deku fic, no ship, first published story (pls give me advice, ehe), beginning takes place a month and a half after school starts but USJ has yet to happen
Mentions of: self harm, anxiety/panic attacks, bad thoughts, suicide
Oh yeah! Um, the title is a song by Billie Eilish (Idk it just fit) (also where the random lines with squiggles came from)
Midoriya Izuku was ambitious. He always pushed until he fell. He never gave up, not once did he fall and stay down. Not even when his idol told him that his dream was illogical--that in reality he will only get in the way.
So he made a set of recordings and set up an anonymous channel.
He approached many people and asked them variants of the same question:
"Can a quirkless person become a hero?"
No matter the answer though, he was broken inside. His dreams and hopes were shattered a long time ago. But he isn't ready to take a swan dive just yet.
He wants to meet one person who will tell him that he is not useless. That he can be a hero.
And after that moment, he will decide if he's ready to take a swan dive off the roof of a building or not.
Some of the chapters will be quite triggering. I will put a warning beside each chapter title that includes detailed descriptions of triggering topics.
The characters do not belong to me, only the plot. Characters belong to the anime Boku No Hero Acadamia and it's creator.
I did the drawing up at the top, it's not the full image though.
