not trying to be cocky or weird or conceited at all, but if y'all like the story i would recommend following me to get some more stories like this, love u. 

Bakugou

I sit there, watching him calm down, and watching every tear fall to the sand below us. I can tell Deku is avoiding eye contact with me, but I don't say anything. I have no idea how to calm him down, and this itself is kinda of causing me to panic. I think of a solution in my head, but it seemed much too cheesy and stupid. I ponder it for a few seconds and realize I have no other stupid options. 

As Deku is still looking down, I cautiously move my arm, inch by inch. 

This is stupid, stop.

But I don't. As my arm touched his neck, he flinched a bit, but kept looking forward. My arm wraps around his shoulder, and I set his head down on my shoulder. His knees fall from his chest to hanging over the ledge again. After a couple minutes, Deku started to wrap his arms around my torso, basically holding on for dear life. I was gonna tell him to let go, but something about it was comforting. Finally, I think of something to say. 

"If you're so scared about getting killed by the league, then why don't you just turn yourself in and spend your time?" I questioned. A couple seconds go by. 

"I have a death penalty," He whispered quietly. 

Oh.

"I-,"

"No Kacchan, it's fine," He smiled, more tears forming in his eyes, and falling just as soon as they formed. "I can just t-turn myself in. It doesn't really matter." 

"Shut up," I say. Surprisingly he didn't seem to care that I said that. 

"Kacch-" 

"No. Shut up. Really? Really Izuku?" Anger starts rising in my throat, and my lungs start to burn. "No one will care? Really?! What about your mother?  What about that Goldilocks villain friend of yours?" He doesn't say anything. "..w-what about me?" I mumbled. Deku looks up at me, tears still holding the space in his eyes. 

"Kacchan?" 

I say nothing. My eyes start to burn, yet I can't let Deku see. I let my forehead fall in the crook of his neck, making him let out a light gasp. 

"It's so selfish. So, so selfish," I curse at myself as I choke on my breath, trying not to cry. 

Deku

I hear Kacchan's breath getting uneven as he raises his voice at me. 

"I can't help but feel stupid." He nearly lets out a yell. (idk what words to use im basically a 1st grader) "You say you can turn yourself in and just die."

Trying to lighten the mood, I make a very dark joke, which originated from my very bad sense of humor. 

"But isn't that what you wanted Kacchan?" I laughed. 

It was obviously a mistake.
