Shoto knows the pills don't really do anything.
Still, he kind of wishes they did.
Maybe then, he wouldn't be bleeding out, staining the hospital sheets dark red on a silent Thursday night.
Maybe if Bakugo hadn't been next door, he could've ripped this night out of his memory and buried it deep under bandages and painkillers.

Post-war, Shoto tries to hold himself together. But even heroes fall apart.

heal me [k. bakugou]
"You didn't hurt me." "What?" He scoffed lightly. "You did not hurt me." She repeated herself. "Hurt is intentional, these are bumps and bruises." He ran a hand over her bandages. "Bumps and bruises-- those are scars." "Scars mean survival, do they not?" she pushed his bangs out of his eyes. "To heal is to hurt, and to hurt is to heal."

No Escape | Suicidal Todoroki x Suicidal Bakugou
"No matter what I do, it's never enough. It's killing me slowly with each passing day, and at this point, it's practically taken everything from me. Despite that, I can't stop. I just can't stop..." Shouto Todoroki develops an eating disorder that quickly consumes his life, and as his depression only worsens, more and more of his repressed trauma begins to bleed through old wounds.

Dawn | Suicidal Todoroki x Bakugou
"I don't see a point in living. Living like this is just too tiresome... When will the shadow of yesterday disappear?" "Oi, I know it's beyond just draining to keep living, but there will never be a point to life until you find that point. Do you wanna die before you find it?" "I...don't know.

Numb ---- Suicidal Todoroki x Bakugo----[BOOK 1]
"You know, you weren't supposed to see them." He dropped my arm. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" He grabbed my other arm, exposing those cuts as well. Bloody bandages fell to the ground and his expression changed. "Is this supposed to make me feel better?!" He held both my arms in front of me. I could feel his hands shaking. I could hear his voice breaking. He was yelling, but I knew it was a facade. He wasn't angry. He was worried. He was sad. He just doesn't know how to express anything else. "It's fine. Don't worry. I'm okay." He dropped my arms and stepped back a bit, looking down for a few seconds. He yelled in frustration, pushing me to the ground suddenly. I avoided eye contact. "In what world?! What part of your fucked up mind is telling you that this is okay?! Because let me fucking tell you right now, if you ever fucking do this to yourself again I swear...." He punched the wall and yelled in frustration, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "Get up." He held out his hand and I took it, standing up shakily. He grabbed my arms again, staring at them sadly. "Again? Why would you hide them again? Why this again?" He pled desperately. "You two." A different voice from across the hallway said, making us both jump a bit. Aizawa walked over to us, looking down at my cuts with slightly widened eyes, then back up at me with a concerned expression. "I need to talk to both of you."Complete
