The Other Side

Bakugou

    If I'm ever going to make it into UA I need to finish studying for the entrance exams. I know that I've already passed all of the mock test but if they change something last minute I need to be ready.

    " Hello." Damnit you hag can't you stay off of the phone for one day. " He what!?... Oh my God that's terrible... I'll be there shortly."

    She started to run around the house frantically grabbing stuff. What could be so damn important this time. My answer came a second after that thought.

    " MITSUBI IM RUNNING TO THW HOSPITAL. INKO JUST CALLED. IZUKU JUMPED OFF A BUILDING."

    This few words hit me harder than any strength quirk ever could. Even harder than All Might could. It's my fault. I told him to do that and the idiot actually tried.

    " You coming?" I jumped up and ran to the car with her. If anything I should at least apologise to him. It won't change anything but I can't have this on my conscience.

    His body lay there limp. He was all bandaged up and hooked to a lot of annoying machines. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have told him to do it. If I knew those could have been my last words to him I would have chose them differently.

All Might

    Hero, hero, hero. Latest villain attacks. More heroes. Does anything else ever come on the news? It's like nothing else ever happens in this world.

    " Today we have something different for you all." Oh what's this. " A quirkless boy that goes by the name of Izuku Midoriya tried to commit suicide. By some miracle he was spared. Right now he is at the hospital recovering from the injuries."

    Isn't that the boy from earlier? The one who was asking if he could be a hero too? That building their showing, that's where I left him. Did I say something wrong? I just told him the truth.

    " Was that kid going through something else? Did I push him over the edge?" A hero is supposed to save lives, not cause suicide.

Izuku 3 days later

    Where am I? It feels like I was hit by a truck. Why is someone crying?

    " I just can't understand it. Why would you want to die?" Oh yeah that's why I hurt. Looks like I failed. Why am I always in the minority?

    " Hey Inko it's almost time to go. He wants a few minutes alone with Izuku today." I know that voice. What's she doing here?

    " Ok. Just one more minute." I hear the door close and my mother starts talking again. I keep my eyes closed to hear what she has to say. " I don't know if you can hear me Izuku but please wake up soon. A lot of people are waiting for you. Even All Might payed a visit yesterday. Said he saw you the day you did this. He told me he didn't understand why a lively boy like you would do such a thing. Please wake up Izuku. Even All Might wants you to." He just wants me to wake up to clear his conscience. He knows he's partially responsible. " I'll be back tomorrow Izuku." I heard her footsteps receding and the door opening. " He's all yours." Who is it this time?

    " You probably don't even want me here."

     " You're not wrong." Wait did that come out of my mouth or stay in my head?

    " How long have you been awake?" Did he just let out a laugh. Well can't fake it now. I slowly open my eyes and let them adjust to the room. " Why did you do it? I didn't mean it literally. I just wanted you to quit getting in my way you stupid nerd." Oh yay, more name calling.

    " If I had succeeded I would have been out of your way for good. Out of your way, out of the heroes way, out of all of the quirk users way. Even All Might said that this isn't a world for people like me. I got attacked by a villain and couldn't do anything. I was helpless." Great now I'm crying. I'm crying I'm front of the person who pushed me towards the edge.

    " That doesn't matter. Do you know how worried everyone has been because you made a stupid mistake?" Stop yelling. " If you had died it would have crushed your mother." The only one who would care.

    " You just don't want to deal with my death being on your hands. Get out." He looked shocked. " I SAID GET OUT." He stormed out a second later. I heard him telling my mother not to come in and his explosions going of down the hall out of anger. What am I supposed to do now? I can't even succeed at dying.
