Izuku's POV
9 Pm
-Time skip, 1 week later-
Me and Kacchan have been watching movies for a little bit and while I've been trying to concentrate, but I just can't.
Negative thoughts and horrible words keep buzzing in my brain, making me zone out yet again.
Would Kacchan be happier without me here? Probably. But he says he's glad to have me.. that's gotta be a lie right?
Monoma wishes I was dead, dad does, people at the orphanage, people at school too.. I'm starting to think there's nobody who could care about me.
Why would they? I'm just a stupid Deku after all.
"Zuku are you sure you're ok? You've been zoning out a lot." Kacchan snaps me out of my thoughts and places his hand on my thigh. Gosh I need to stop worrying him.
"Y-yeah.. I should just take a walk and clear my head." I say to him, offering a sad smile. He nods and continues to look at me.
"Just don't do anything stupid ok? I'll grab you a hoodie." He stands up and walks towards the bedroom. I walk over to put on my big red sneakers.
He steps out of the room holding a black sweater with an orange X on the front. I smile at him and take it.
After putting his hoodie on I step closer to him and stand on my tiptoes to wrap my arms around his shoulders for a hug.
He stands still in shock for a second before placing his arms around my waist, hugging me back. I lean my head into the crook of his neck.
"Thanks so much Kacchan. I'll be back soon ok?"
He sighs before replying.
"Sure, but don't stay out too late cause there's probably some weird people or something." He grumbles.
I giggle and stop hugging him and begin to walk towards the door.
"I'll be careful! Bye Kacchan!"
"Bye you nerd"
I walk outside and shut the door. The sidewalks are empty with only a few lampposts for light, some flickering and buzzing.
I begin to walk down the side of the road. Taking in the chilly summer night air.
Some windows are open and some not, the flashing colors of televisions can be seen through the glass.
I put my hands in the pockets of the hoodie and exhale, watching as my warm breath makes fog in the cold air.
A little while passes and I begin hearing the calming flow of a river, I get drawn to the sound and walk closer.
Once I arrive I see a little wooden bridge over a stream. The running water glistens in the moonlight.
I walk over and lean over the railing, basking in the serene view.
It's a perfect moment and it feels like nothing could ruin it.
"Well lookie here. Looks like we found the little fag." A mocking voice snickers, startled I whip my head around to see who it is.
Purple eyes stare back into my green ones. Their face shows a nasty grin. Of course Monoma is here.
I sigh in annoyance.
"What Monoma? Why do you always have to ruin a good moment huh?" I question. I've gotten sick of him always making my life hell.
"Oh ho ho the little nobody is fighting back eh? Well just have to teach him a lesson, right Kaibara?" He smirks and my eyes shoot over to the person who was now stepping next to him. Great two people who make my life hell.
"Yeah you're right. Who does he think he think he is standing up to us? He should just go running back to his little boyfriend like the fag he is!" Kaibara taunts and Monoma cackles with laughter.
"Pfft that was the funniest thing I've heard all day!"
The two continue to laugh and I clench my fists into balls.
"SHUT UP!" My scream causes their laughter to grow louder.
"Do you hear this shit? The little gay thinks he can tell us what to do!" Monoma clutches his stomach and continues to snort and laugh.
I've had enough.
I run closer to Monoma and strike his face with my fist. He stumbles back a bit and looks towards me. His eyes full of fury.
"What the fuck? Little bitch thinks he can punch me now too! Oh now you're really gonna fucking get it." His voice laced with hatred he steps towards me and I try to keep calm. My hands shaking with fear.
"Don't try to act all tough now! You wanna know what you're good for!? Literally NOTHING!" He screams and punches my stomach. I groan in pain and kneel over in agony.
"Oh where's that toughness now you punk! Don't you wanna stand up for yourself!" He shouts and kicks me to the ground. I cough and a little blood rolls down my chin.
"Uh Monoma I think that's good dude. You hit him enough." The brown haired boy tried to calm the other down, only enraging him further.
"NO! I won't fucking stop! He deserves this!" He yells out and lifts me to my feet by my hair.
I knee him in his stomach, causing him to let go on my hair and let me get away. I wobbly get into a fighting stance.
"Oh you're getting it now you little shit!" He roars and runs at me hitting my cheek with his fist. He pushes my chest causing be to stumble back a lot.
Right over the bridge.
My body falls backwards and I instantly grab onto the ledge, trying to keep myself from falling into the river bellow.
Monoma stares wide eyed at me and in a panic grabs Kaibara by the wrist and drags him away.
"You BASTARDS!" I scream. Adrenaline and fear pump through me as I eye the river below.
I grip the ledge tighter with both hands and try to pull myself up, splinters from the old wood make their way into my finger tips but I don't care.
I keep straining myself and trying to pull my body weight up but my upper body strength is seriously lacking.
Tears flood down my pale freckled face and my finger tips begin to bleed and become sore.
The wood is old and creaky. A chunk I'm holding onto falls off.
My other hand begins to slip off.
I'm gonna die.
No.
I don't wanna die.
Please not yet.
I finally found someone who makes me happy.
Someone I care for, and someone who hopefully cares for me.
A reason to live.
I love him, I love you Kacchan and I'm so sorry.
My hand slips off the slick wood and I begin falling.
A blood curdling scream escapes my lips as terror overtakes me.
The world feels like it's in slow motion as I descend to the water below. Memories flood my mind and more tears fall from my eyes, my hair flows rapidly through the air.
My body comes closer to the water and I shut my eyes tight.
"I'm sorry Kacchan. I love you so much." I sob out. A stinging pain shoots through my body, and my world goes black.
