“Come on! We're gonna leave you behind!” giggles of the little kids running could be heard for miles, along the rundown paths in the woods was a creek where all of the children used to hangout. But that was before we all grew up..
Pounding was heard at the door, I was too tired to care. “Open up!!” Mina's voice rang through my head. “Too early.. doors open.” I grumbled as she burst into my room. “Girl! you better get up! Bakugou is making us crêpes!!” she squealed leaving no room for reply, and she was gone just as quick as she entered. After laying down for a few more minutes I finally decided I should get up. Throwing my blankets off of my legs and checking my phone I started my way downstairs, the smell of crêpes filled the dorm building, it looked like I was the last one to get up but I didn't really care.
I walked up to the island in the dorm kitchen, almost immediately as I sat down bakugou slid me a plate full of crêpes and lots of different toppings. “Took you long enough.” He grunted, I simply rolled my eyes, ignoring him. I would like to say that I hated him but that wouldn't be at all true, we had been childhood bestfriends. It was always the trio Bakugou, Izuku, and I, but ever since the incident everything changed. Bakugou and I were more distant, scared maybe. Izuku seemed to hold us together but ever since he died, it wasn't the same and never would be. I hate to speak for Bakugou but I think a part of both of us died that day.
“Pinky promise you'll be safe?” I was scared, no, petrified. We were going into war and who knows if we would make it out alive. I held out my pinky to Izuku, the strongest person I knew. He was fearless, and if there was a problem he would try to fix it. Even if he didn't think it would be okay he would make you believe it would be okay. “I pinky promise.” he interlocked his pinky with mine. I pulled him in for a deep hug, it would be one of our last. Tears finally bubbled over as we hugged. “hey don't cry! We're gonna be fine and we're gonna save so many people!” He reassured me.
A loud bang of bakugou's fist on the table brought me back to earth, “You gonna eat or what?” bakugou asked roughly. I was disoriented for a moment, before all the thoughts about him came rushing back. Tears started to form in my eyes, as I bit my lip nervously. “I'm actually not hungry.'' I mumbled quickly before standing up and walking towards my dorm. As I got closer to the elevator tears started to fall down my face, I ran the rest of the way to the elevator. “You're gonna be a shitty hero if you don't eat!” Bakugou screamed in my general direction just before the elevator door closed. Bakgou seemed almost unfazed by his death, it didn't make sense. He had to be sad.
I laid in my bed for a couple hours, just thinking about that horrendous day, could I have done more? Would he still be alive if i wasnt so.. Weak?
It was almost eight hours into the battle and finally the villain fell but so did Izuku, my dear izuku. I ran as fast as I could towards him but by the time I got there he was already almost unconscious. I fell to my knees next to him, his face was so bloody and torn he was almost unrecognizable but I knew it was him by his electric green hair. His chest was caved in, blood pouring out of his body. I wasn't exactly sure what the villain had done but his ribs were shattered, remaining whole bones sticking out of his chest. He could barely breathe, hell I could barely breathe. From wounds I had and this awful scene.
“You're gonna be okay izuku, we're gonna fix you up!” i tried to convince him, no i didn't try to convince him i was trying to convince myself. He knew he was going to die but I couldn't accept that. I put my hands over his chest wounds trying to hold the blood in, just drenching me in blood as well. He coughed a hard, painful cough. “No.. I won't last another two minutes, but you have to. You have to live, take care of everyone, and please.. Make sure kacchan and my mom are alright. You're going to make an amazing hero..” his voice finally trailed off and his body went limp, he was no longer coughing or wheezing. He had died in my arms.
I knew he didn't want my life to stop over his death so I had to keep going. I got my sorry ass out of bed and put on some workout clothes before heading to the dorm gym. Maybe working out would clear my mind. When I arrived i looked in through the glass doors. Bakugou was there, he might lecture me about not eating breakfast but I didn't really care. I opened the door and walked in heading over towards the mats to stretch before I did any real working out. Bakugou scoffed just loud enough so I could hear him, it was annoying and he knew that. ‘What do you want, bakugou?” I asked quietly, making sure I didn't start to cry again. Bakugou was strong and he didn't like to show weakness, I had only ever seen him cry a couple times. It felt weak to cry in front of him, even though I would trust him with my life.
“Nothing, just think it's kind of stupid that you didn't eat and now you're working out” he explained but there was more, you could hear it in his voice, he had something else he wanted to say. He mumbled something, probably an insult but it was too quiet for me to hear. I did my best to ignore him while we were both in there together. Eventually he finished his workout and left. I decided to stay for another thirty minutes before leaving and heading back to my dorm to take a cold shower. I couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how hard I tried, I was so frustrated. He's dead and there is nothing I can do about it, so why can't I stop thinking about him, I wanna forget that day ever happened, i wanna forget that he ever existed. Before I even thought twice I turned and punched my bathroom mirror with full force, cracking the mirror and cutting up my hand. I shrieked in pain as I held my bloody hand. I started to sob, I fell to the floor shaking and crying, I was frustrated and in pain and.. Sad.
I sat there for a long while before getting up, I hadn't even gotten dressed, I was still in my towel, hair still dripping wet. I washed off my hand, wincing as the cold water hit the cuts on my hand. I walked into my room grabbing some clothes and throwing them on and wrapping my hand in gozz. I knew that Izuku wouldn't want me to live like this but I couldn't help it, I missed him so damn much. Thoughts clouded my mind i didnt think, opening the medicine cabinet i grabbed the first bottle of pills i found and opened it up. Was I really going to do this? If it meant the chance that I would see him again, yes I would. I poured the unknown pills into my hand, i didnt what these were meant for but I didn't care as long as they got the job done. I leaned over the sink and drank some water from the flowing tap along with the unknown pills. I kept swallowing the pills until there were none left. I immediately started to feel sick and dizzy. I fell to the ground with no control, the room was spinning and I started to see things that couldn't have been there. Then I saw him, my sweet darling boy. I cried out for him but just as soon as he arrived he was gone. I started to sob and my vision slowly got black around the edges until I had finally passed out.
I woke up in a hospital with all sorts of machines hooked up to me. i wasn't sure what had happened but my plan had obviously not worked. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad or frustrated, I was so confused and dazed. Doctors and nurses came rushing in, quickly surrounding me. I heard bakugou yelling at the poor nurses to let him come see me. Ah bakugou, my childhood best friend, the one person i trust most in life, and most of all.. My soulmate. I have had a crush on him for years but I would never tell him that. The doctors snapped me back to reality and questioned me until I assured them I was fine for visitors.
Bakugou pushed the nurses aside after getting the okay and rushed to me, hugging me tightly without saying a word. I hugged him back with the same tightness. I haven't received a hug from him since izuku died. He finally looked up from the hug with tears streaming down his face, he looked into my eyes with his teary eyes and quickly leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. I kissed back still in shock. What the fuck? I was so sure he could never love someone like me. He looked down, gulping hard before finally speaking. “Dont fucking do that ever again, got me? I..i cant those both of you. You fucking scared me!” he yelled continuing to cry, i felt bad for making him cry. I don't know what I was thinking.
“I-im sorry! I just missed him so fucking much and i wanted to see him again! I don't know what I was thinking, I'm so sorry!” I sob, pulling you back into a hug. He hugged back, trying to hide that was crying. “Just don't do it again..! I love you too much or whatever.” he groaned, hugging me even tighter, finally stopping the tears that rolled down his face.
