Chapter Text
"I'm sorry Midoriya, I don't think I can continue this relationship anymore. I just don't love you anymore." Uraraka said with a shadow over her eyes, I tried to speak but no words left my mouth as the floor opened and I fell, that's when I woke up. I jumped up in a cold sweat as I tried to collect my breath. My eyes darted around the room as I began to calm down, I ran my hand through my hair. "Looks like I'm staying up tonight."
The sun came through the small gap between my curtains as I sat up in my bed. I grab my phone to see multiple texts from my friends and classmates but none from Uraraka. I put my phone back down and stared at my ceiling as I replay the events of that again in my mind.
After everything I've been through, I finally felt like I accomplished something. I have better control over One For All, I somewhat patched up things with Katsuki, made new friends, and most importantly, found someone who made me whole. After the training camp incident, I confessed my feelings towards one of my best friends Ochaco Uraraka and it turned out that the feelings were on both ends. My life was finally getting better and I couldn't be happier but it would seem that my luck had just run thin.
I walked into the common room after a light workout, I greeted everyone in the common room as I walked up to my room. Once I got to my door I saw Ochaco standing with a blank look on her face. "Oh hey Ocha, do you need something?" I ask while unlocking my door but she stops my hand, I look at her with a confused look on my face. "Midoriya, we need to talk," she said in a quiet and dull voice.
Honestly, I should've noticed that she wasn't one hundred percent into the relationship. She never used my given name and she stopped using Deku as well, there were also times when she wouldn't want to go out and made out of this world excuses. But I don't blame her for dumping me, I was never the coolest guy or the most handsome but I thought Ochaco was someone that looked past all that.
I hear my phone ring and I see that it was Todoroki, I press ignore and I place my head on my pillow but I didn't close my eyes or try to sleep as I stare at my ceiling then my phone rang yet again, I grab it and I was about to ignore it until I saw who was calling me. I saw that it was Uraraka, I thought about answering it but I quickly tossed it to the side as I felt my heart shatter. 'Was she just calling to toy with me?' I just pulled the sheets over my head as I slowly tried to fall asleep.
Kyouka's P.O.V
"Alright, that's all for homeroom today. Make sure you all try to get in touch with Midoriya, it was quite boring without him." Aizawa said, mumbling the last few words. Everyone got out of their seats and began packing their things. I stood up and couldn't help but stare at the seat across from me that remained empty for the whole day today.
My eyes then made their way to the brunette that everyone was questioning about the whereabouts of her green-haired friend. She seemed to have a carefree look on her face as she silently packed her books away. I slipped my bag over my shoulder and made my way over to the doorway before looking back at the desk where Midoriya would sit every day and sighed as I walked out the door.
'Why does Midoriya not being here suddenly bugs me so much? He probably just has a cold or something.' Though I knew deep within myself that I wasn't okay with that answer, I knew I was in no position to invade his personal life. I slowly shook my head to distract myself from the intrusive thoughts about Midoriya. I began to hum a small tune as I walked along the road that led to the 1-A dorms.
"Hey, Jirou! Why do you seem so down?" a voice yelled from behind me, I turned around to see Kaminari running towards me only to trip over air and fall straight on his face causing me to chuckle a bit. "What's up Jamming Yay?" I say as he gets up and dusts himself off. "I saw that you looked a bit down so I wanted to cheer you up," he said while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
I sighed as I adjusted the straps of my bag. "Sorry if I am worried ya Jamming Yay. I'm just worried about Midoriya, I doubt he would miss class for no reason ya know?" I said with my head held down a bit, I then felt a hand on my shoulder as I turned around to see Kaminari giving me a reassuring smile.
"No need to worry, it's Midoriya we're talking about! He can bounce back from anything," he said with a voice filled with vigor. 'He's right, Midoriya isn't the one to give up easily! And yet I still can't shake this feeling.' I thought as we began to near the dorm building. "It's hard to admit but you're right for once Jamming Yay," I say with a teasing voice while also being quite genuine.
I then heard his phone vibrate causing him to jump. He took out his phone and after looking at it for about a minute he placed it back into his pocket as he looked at me again. "Well, I better get going. Ashido wants the Bakusquad to watch a horror movie with her, you wanna join us?" Kaminari asked.
"Nah, I'm fine plus I got some personal stuff to attend to anyway, but have fun and try to not pee yourself," I said much to Kaminari's embarrassment. "That was one time!" he yelled as we entered the dorm building. I chuckled but the thoughts I had from earlier still laid dormant in the back of my mind. I waved as Kaminari made his way to his room, as we went our separate ways I decided to try and find a way to get my mind off the topic of Midoriya's absence.
"Maybe I'll listen to some music to get my mind off it," I said as I walked over to my phone and connected it to my small purple Bluetooth speaker, and pressed shuffle. A random song started to play. I recognized the song Throw It All Away by Powfu as I slowly swayed to the music playing. My mind went right back to Midoriya's absence from class.
"I really thought music would help get my mind off it. Well, it's time to go to the roof." I said as I grabbed my acoustic guitar along with my notebook and a water bottle. The roof was somewhere I went whenever I wanted to clear my mind or come up with lyrics, the roof was the place that I could let my mind wander freely. After making sure I had everything I needed, I grabbed a purple hoodie that I stole from my Dad even though it's a couple of sizes too big for me. I then started to make my way to the roof, while walking I decided I'll come up with a new song to distract myself.
Once I had gotten to the door that led to the roof, I heard the muffled sound of music coming from the other side of the door. I was caught off guard, I never thought anyone else would be at the roof during that time so really it baffled me about who could be up here. Only Kaminari and Momo knew I went there to clear my mind, so maybe it was one of them waiting for me with a surprise or something.
I slowly opened the door to see that it was raining, I put up my hoodie and looked for the source of music. Then I saw a figure sitting down in the rain with a radio, I strain to see who the figure was. I got a bit closer and the figure became much more clear and once my vision adjusted to the rain, I dropped my bottle causing the figure to turn revealing it was Midoirya.
It was definitely Midoriya but everything, even the air around it, became different. He had bags under his eyes, his hair was messier than normal, and his eyes just looked so dead. "Oh hey." Even though his voice was different from his normal tone, I couldn’t help but walk closer to him as a clap of thunder roared above us.
"Midoriya, are you okay?"
