Izukus POV

I stayed on the roof until classes were over. I am now walking down the halls to leave the UA. I saw kacchan walking by the school gates. Not walking, more like pacing. I quickly slid behind a bush.

'What's he doing? '

I crouched for about 5 minutes now. What the hell is he doing. I sighed and stood up. I walked towards him with a few deep breaths. He stopped once he saw me. He strutted to me as I slowly walked towards him with my head down.

"Deku! "

He yelled walking right in front of me. I kept my head down.

"Don't ignore me, you bastard! "

He said pushing my shoulder. I slightly took a step back and looked up at him.

"What is it kacchan? "

I asked. He looks at me with anger.

"Why the hell were you lying? "

I looked at him confused. Then I remembered what Monoma told me.

"I never lied kacchan. "

I said with a sigh.

"Tsk. Yeah right, you damn nerd. "

He glared.

"Fine, what did I lie about? "

I asked looking at him tiredly. He grunted and crossed his arms.

"You said you slept with icy-hot, me, and shitty hair. "

He said annoyed.

"Kacchan you know I would never-"

"Do I? "

He interrupted. I looked at him surprised.

"What? "

I asked. He let his arms fall to his side.

"You... You haven't been the same. "

He said looking down.

'I changed? '

"How? "

I ask. He looks at me with a glare.

"Lying. Keeping secrets. Wanting to die. And who knows what else. "

He said. I looked at him wide-eyed.

"People change kacchan. "

I said with little venom, though I didn't mean to. He got defensive by this and shoved me to the ground. I looked up at him surprised.

"You fucking bitch. "

He glared, walking towards me. He pushed his foot on my shoulder and shoved me down. I held his ankle trying to lift it.

'I probably deserve this. '

I look up into his red eyes. They looked hurt and angry.

'This ain't his fault. '

I quit struggling and let my hands fall to my side. I turned my head to the side as well. I felt the weight of his foot push deeper into my shoulder.

"Why? "

He mumbled. I slightly glanced at him.

"Why."

I said for an answer. He wasn't okay with that answer so he slammed his foot on my stomach. I felt some of the air leave my body but I didn't flinch.

"Why? "

He asked more seriously. I looked up at him with my face and smiled.

"Why not? "

I asked. He kicked my stomach again. I spit out some blood.

'Why the hell am I bleeding? '

'Wait. '

I then remembered that I had a two-week-old stab wound on my stomach. Yes, I stabbed myself. No, I didn't die obviously. I looked up at him in a panic cause I don't want him to see. He went to kick again but I pushed his leg and he fell to my side.

I scrambled to get up but he pulled my leg and shoved me down with my chest facing the ground.

'Shit. '

I can feel my stitches opening up.

"Please."

I said. He held his hand on my head, pushing it down and holding my arm with his other hand.

"Kacchan please. "

I asked. I felt his grip loosen slightly so threw my head back, head budding him. He let go and I kicked him away from me. I stood up and started to run. Leaving my bag and a bloody nosed kacchan.

I ran and I didn't stop. I ran till my legs gave out. Till I somehow ended up in a park. It was almost evening. I felt a drip on my nose so I looked up and saw the sky grey.

I laid in the grass and watched as more raindrops fell. Some landing on me. I closed my eyes as I felt the warm liquid leak through my shirt. I touched it slightly and winced as my shirt was stuck to my skin from both the blood and rain.

I gave up and just let my hands rest to my side.

"Midoriya? "

I heard but I didn't bother opening my eyes.

"Hm? "

I replied.

"Oh my god, your hurt! "

They yelled and lifted my head. I didn't open my eyes still.

'How about a little joke? '

"Midoriya? "

I didn't respond. I pretended to stop breathing.

"Midoriya? "

They sounded more anxious. They tried tapping my cheek. I was being held in their arms and lap.

"No no no no no.... "

They said.

"Please don't die on me. "

"You the only manliest man I know. "

He cried.

"Pft-"

I covered my mouth cause I didn't mean to laugh. I peeked my eyes open to see a surprised Kirishima. I burst out laughing as he still had me in his arms.

"That was not manly at all. "

He said pushing me off him. I slightly grunted, still sore from being kicked. I chuckled and looked up at Kirishima. He was sitting by me pouting.

I smiled at him. His eyes were red like Kacchans, but his were different. They were softer and looked like they were holding secrets. Kacchans eyes we're more closed off and deep like an ocean full of blood.

I stared lost in his eyes until he pulled me out of thought.

"M-midoriya? "

I shook my head and looked at him. His face was slightly pink.

"What's wrong? "

I asked leaning back on my arms. Everything still hurting.

"N-nothing."

I sat up in criss-cross and rubbed my head. I looked down at my now soaked shirt with a blood spot. I touched it and I saw blood in my hand.

"Just great. "

I sighed.

"What? "

I covered my wound with my hand and looked to my side at Kirishima.

"I'm glad that you're here Kirishima. "

I smile. He smiles back but it slightly falters.

"Wait you were hurt. Are you okay? "

He said leaning to see if there were any wounds. He saw my bloodied hand and shirt.

"Wh-what happened? "

He asked about to touch it. I pulled back and stood up.

"Just an accident. No need to worry. "

I chuckle. He looks at me skeptically and stands up as well. He looks at me seriously.

"Let me see. "

He said with a deep but clear voice. I sighed and let my hands rest at my sides. He touches around the wound and goes to unbutton my shirt. Once he fully opens it he looks wide-eyed at my stomach. I look down and see some bruises already forming from being kicked. Along with my now opened wound.

'Fuck. '

"I can't believe I haven't passed out yet. "

I chuckled. Kirishima looked at me dumbfounded.

"What happened? "

He asked again. I shrug.

"I got into a little fight with some villains. It's ok. "

I smile at him. He looks back down at my stomach and gently touches it. I slightly wince. He pulls his hand back a little surprised.

'Like a puppy. '

I smile and rub my hand through his red hair. A little hard from the gel but it felt nice. I look down at his face to see it's red.

'Aww, he's blushing. '

I pull my hand back and start to button my shirt.

"Well, I got to go fix this up. "

I say. He nods.

"I'll come with you. "

"Thank you, Kiri. "

He smiles at me and I smile back.

'I'm glad I ran into him. '
