Borderline (Villain Deku x Bakugo)

Chapter 1

If a normal human being was asked, "What would you change if you could go back in time?" The usual answer would mostly likely be something along the lines of, "I wouldn't change anything! My life is perfect." Or, "Well, there was this one time in high school.." We don't get do overs. Once you do something, that's it. Nothing can change it. Which is why I wish like hell that I could. I would go back. I wouldn't waste the opportunity to travel back. If I could, maybe I could change things. Maybe things wouldn't have ended up like they did.

The sound of a door opening and closing woke me up from my sleep. I didn't lift my head to see who it was. I didn't care. Even after all this time, I still wasn't ready to look anyone in the eye. I hadn't forgiven myself for what I did. Looking back, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was going to be the hero and save everyone. That turned on me really quickly. Now I just want to go back and make everything right. Not just back to a year ago. I wanted to be a child again. Maybe then, I could've perserved our friendship and cherished more than I did... I could've saved him..

"Kacchan."

My head snapped up. I was fully awake now, and already my eyes began to sting. The chains around my wrists rattled as I jolted forward. My eyes sought out the voice. Todoroki frowned. "I knew that would get your attention." Anger flooded through me and the tears began to slip.

"You bastard!" I screamed. "You damn bastard! Icy Hot!" The tears streamed down my cheeks. "How dare you?! I'll.. I'll k-" I bit my tongue. I'll kill you. Old habits die hard. Shrinking back, I moved away from the glass, and backed out against the wall, falling to the floor. I brought my knees to my chest and placed my hands that were incased in iron capsules on my knees. I was too dangerous to have the freedom to even see my own hands. "What do you want, Todoroki..?" I whispered.

Todoroki cleared his throat. I couldn't tell if he actually wanted to be here or not. I know the others didn't. I bet after all this time, they still wouldn't look me in the eye. Not that I could blame them. What I did was terrible... "Its been a long time." Todoroki deadpanned, crossing his arms as he sat back in his chair. I could feel his eyes on me. "How have you been?"

I flinched. You know damn well! I balled my hands into fists from underneath the iron and tried to hold back more tears. "I almost forgot this time..." I mumbled. "About him." Todoroki nodded, crossing his legs. "I thought it was the right thing to do.." I ranted. "He was a villain, and he was so powerful..." Images of his twisted smile flashed in my brain. "I wanted to do it." I confessed. "I wanted to kill him. But then-"

"You still fell for him." Todoroki finished. "Even though he was a villain." Finally, I looked up at him. His hair had grown a bit longer since the last time I'd seen him. It made me wonder what else had changed since I'd been here. Todoroki averted his eyes from me. "Murder is still wrong, Bakugo. It doesn't matter if Mid-"

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY HIS NAME!" I screamed.

Sighing, Icy Hot continued. "It doesn't matter how powerful of a villain he was. Murder is wrong. Simple as that." He closed his mouth. We sat in silence for several minutes. I lowered my head again,  trying to keep my emotions in check, while Todoroki seemed lost in his own little world. I wondered if he still thought about what happened even now. I wondered if anyone else did. "Kirishima wanted to come here." Todoroki said finally. I tensed. "All Might wouldn't let him. He said that you would be even more unstable if you saw him."

Unstable? "I'm not a robot." I said sharply. I didn't bother to look up at him anymore. It wasn't worth it.  I didn't care.

Todoroki ran a hand through his hair. "Those were his words." He said. "All Might suggested I come instead. He thought maybe I could help you cope better." I scoffed, then frowned sadly again.

"How is.. Kirishima?" I mumbled. "And the others as well?"

The ends of Todoroki's mouth turned up ever so slightly. Most likely he was happy that I actually cared. But then he frowned again sadly. "Uraraka went back to her family. She didn't want to stay in a place that reminded her of..." He drifted off. "Iida stopped talking. He's still as smart as ever, grades wise, but he won't say a word. Kirishima refuses to stay in his dorm. He's been sleeping in your bed every night." Todoroki sighed. "I've never heard him cry so much about how much he misses his best friend." Guilt shot me in the heart. I've made everyones' lives miserable. "The rest of the class is solemn. We don't talk as much anymore. We're quieter, but we still work hard."

"T-that's g-good."

Todoroki uncrossed his arms and leaned forward, his eyes sympathetic. "Bakugo, I-"

"Five more minutes, Shoto." Endeavor's voice came over the prison loudspeaker. Of course his Dad would be his escort. Icy Hot was his son, and his son was visiting a murderer.

Todoroki rolled his eyes. "Bakugo, I know you did what you thought was right." He said. I moved my head to the side. "He was dangerous, but I do know one thing."

"Time to go, Shoto." Endeavor announced.

Todoroki sighed, and looked at me. This time, I met his gaze. "I do know one thing." Todoroki repeated, giving me a small smile. "Deep down in that villainous persona," he paused. "Midoriya loved you too."

My heart panged. Todoroki started to get up. "Wait!" I cried.  I stood up and ran towards the glass. The chains rattled. Todoroki turned to leave. "Don't go!" I yelled after him. "Don't leave me alone!" But he was still stepping away. "Don't leave alone with my thoughts!" I screamed. But the door to the prison was shut, and I was left alone again.

Stunned, I stepped away from the glass and went back to the wall. I sat down against it, and put my head down. "Don't leave me alone.." I whispered, a tear slipping again.

"Don't leave me alone, Kacchan." Midoriya pleaded. He grasped my hand. " I don't want to be a villain anymore." He cried, tears forming in his eyes. "Please help me."

My eyes widened.  Stepping forward, I wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him close. I reached into my back pocket and gripped the gun tightly. Deku noticed.

"You're going to kill me."

"It's for the best." I mumbled. "You're dangerous." Tears pooled in Midoriya's eyes and they fell down his cheek, but he didn't try to fight. He only moved closer to me.

"Please Kacchan!" He cried. "I can change! I promise. I won't lie anymore. I won't kill anymore. Just please!"

"It's gonna be alright." I whispered, my eyes beginning to sting.

"I thought you loved me..." Midoriya whispered.

Leaning in, I kissed him deeply. "It's gonna be alright.." I repeated.

"I don't want to die..." He whispered softly.

"Shh..." I said calmly. "I know.."

Deku  began shaking his head frantically. "Please no..."

"I love you, Deku." I declared softly. Before I could change my mind, I swiftly brought the gun  out of my pocket, put it against his head, and pulled the trigger.
