Izuku's POV:
It's been a couple hours since the paramedics arrived from where I fell, who knew people were kind? Complete strangers spotted a young middle school boy laying there on the ground coughing some running down is his. Actually...maybe it wouldn't be kind because who wouldn't want to leave a person there bleeding, probably people who just mind their own business. To be honest I haven't felt this sarcastic in a long time. Was it the fall? Or maybe I just give up on believing people?
As I laid at my hospital bed with IV tubes stuck in my arm pumping whatever stuff into my body. Some nurses came to check up on me from time to time and some came to chat with me, but if I am being honest to myself I think they're trying to get me on their good side so I would tell them why did I jump. But I wasn't dumb, the school would play the same tricks as them, I know this because it happened to me at least three times. And I remembered it clearly as crystal.
**Years Ago (First Year of Middle School)**
"Come on Midoriya. You could tell me. I won't tell your mother." The school, councilor said as young Izuku sat the chair. The little young him started to explain how his childhood friend has always bullied him for a long time since he was diagnosed quirkless, once he finished explaining he councilor sent Izuku back to his class. After a long and stressful day from school he walked back home feeling slightly relief that he was able to talk to someone about his problem. He didn't want his mom to know because she was already worried about him enough.
When he walked into the apartment of his home his mother went up to him and hugged him tightly while crying. Izuku was surprised by the sudden affection from his mother, sure she was always emotional but not like this. "M-Mom? What's wrong?" He asked the emotional mother who was bawling out her eyes, "Why Izu? Why didn't you tell me you were getting bullied!? Was it Katsuki?" He felt his heart dropped to the bottom of his stomach. 'No...No this couldn't be. Did the school call his mom?'
The boy hugged his mother while giving her a sweet and gentle smile, "Mom. Don't worry, it was only a few kids. Besides, Kacchan is protecting me, he wouldn't hurt me. I promise." His mother sighed in relief while still hugging him, she was afraid of someone hurting her precious Izuku. "Okay. If you say so. But if something does happen would you tell me right?" He hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to lie to his mom, but in order to shield her from the damage he had to go through he needed to. Besides, it was just a single lie, "I promise."
**End of Flashback**
While Izuku looked around the room he saw his mom running into the room sobbing along with a couple of nurses trying to calm her down. "Izuku! What happened!? D-Did you jump!? Is this my fault!? Please! Please tell me why! Tell me why did you do this to yourself Zuku!" I saw the plead in her eyes. The eyes of guilt. The only eyes that a mother could give to make her child say the truth. "It's not your fault mom...I was just not right. I promise you, this isn't your fault." This was the honest truth he gave out, it wasn't his mothers fault, it was never her fault to begin with. She did everything she could to care and protect him.
"Ms Midoriya. The Bakugo's are here to see Izuku," a nurse said while holding her clipboard, she opened the door and I saw Auntie Mitsuki and Uncle Masaru. I called them Auntie and Uncle since my mom was very close with them. From behind the two close people I've known for so long I saw Kacchan. 'Why was he here? Did Auntie drag him to see me? Or does he actually feel pity for me? Never mind, that's a stupid question. Why would he ever feel bad for me? Especially when he suggested that I should take my own life to get myself a quirk.'
After some time talking the doctor had to pull out my mom. "Katsuki. Stay with Izuku," Auntie said as she and Uncle started to follow my mom out of the room with the doctor. "Why do I have to-" Kacchan spoke before Auntie smacked him in the back of the head and gave him a glare, he rolled his eyes as the three adults walked out of the room. We both were in the room alone, I didn't say anything, nor looked in his direction. Why would I? He made my life a living hell, even when I tried to help him from the sludge incident he just made me look worse.
"So you really took my advice?" He spoke to break the thick silence in the air, deep down I knew he caused my pain. The burnt marks, the amount of times I've tried to skip class, coming to school late, and the many times I've went to the nurses office during lunch. Those memories ran through my mind as my eyes looked dead. "What does it look like?" I felt his anger right in front of me even though he was in the corner of the room. "Does she know about the-" "No. I didn't say anything about you. I wanted to protect you, isn't that what a hero does? They protect the ones they care about. No matter how hard it hurts they still try to protect them."
He went silent as he heard those words. I did try to protect him, I thought I could change him. But in reality you can't change someone who hates you. It's like getting back with a toxic ex-lover that manipulates you into giving you love, you want to try to change them but you can't because it is just the way they are. I glared at Kacchan one last time and spoke, "I wondered why I kept going besides you, the scars you left me kept me afraid of you. But I still wanted to be by your side when we became heroes. I don't know if it's your fault. Don't bother asking me for forgiveness Katsuki..."
