Summary
Death waits for no one.
It doesn’t discriminate between the sinner and the saint.
Only that it takes, and it takes, and it takes away.
And what an irony it is that the one that is killing Midoriya Izuku is One for All.

Summary
“What are you smiling about?” Kacchan asks, voice soft. He never would’ve thought that Kacchan can be soft but he is, in quiet moments – in soft apologies, mumbled compliments, when he doesn’t need to be a hero. He was soft when Izuku needed him the most yet firm in the way he had held him, a reminder of a friendship Izuku desperately clung on to.
“It’s stupid,” Izuku admits.
“Everything about you is stupid, stupid nerd. You do it anyway.”
“Sometimes I wonder what will happen if I don’t wake up.”

Summary
There are times when Inko finds herself awake when the rest of the world is asleep, times when the universe and its untold secrets offer its kiss of sweet dreams, times when chaos reigns and bring about nightmares, times when the sun is yet to rise, the moon yet to sink.
It is during these hours that Inko finds herself making her way towards her son's room, opening the door just a sliver, and listening to the consistent beep beep beep of a machine that tells her her son is alive. There are times when she would stand there, silently watching the rise and fall of Izuku's chest, counting each breath like one would count sheep to fall asleep. She will stay like that for an hour or two, until her fears settle, until she can reassure herself that he’s still here, fading and dying but here.
---
One for All is killing Izuku and Inko is left powerless to watch.
