Chapter 21: 𝓣𝔀𝓮𝓷𝓽𝔂 𝓸𝓷𝓮

I feel like a bag of sh*t..... Cue Bo burnham song

No but seriously I have a ridiculous cold, but I'm not running a fever so I have to go to  work and my eyes are all suck in, it looks like I'm a freaking Tim Burton character (not my words)

Some one legit told me that, like I mean I love Tim Burton but I'm not sure if they meant that as an insult or not 🤣🤣🤣

The good news however due to my cold my voice is kinda raspy and low (NOT joking!!) And customers keeping calling me sir and that's an amazing feeling 😎😎😎😎😎😎

Anyway that's just sorta vent because I don't like venting to my friends and y'all don't need to read it, sooooo on to the story!!

*Cough* *Cough*

"Help!"

*Cough*   *Cough*

The greenette yelled, catching everyone else's attention.

All whilst Bakugo swam fastly towards the drowning teen.

"Izuku!"

"Zuku!"

"Midoriya!!"

Everyone else yelled, swimming  towards the freckle teens rescue as well now.

As soon as Katsuki felt the tips of the greenette's finger, he never in his life grabbed ahold of something so fast.

"I got you Izu. "

"It's ok, just breath.... Please just breath. "

Katsuki whispered, trying his best to swim to the shore with only one hand.

*Cough! * *Cough!*

Bakugo had never felt such relief wash over his body, especially over hearing someone coughing.

*Cough!* *Cough!*

"K-Ka-*Cough!*

" Ssh Ssh."

"Don't speak, just focus on your breathing love. "

Love!?

where did that nickname come from!?

Why did he call his childhood friend that!?

Was it a slip of a tongue??

It didn't matter at the moment, he need to make sure Izuku was alright.

"K-Kacchan.... "

Midoriya mumbled, he felt light headed but he needed to get away from the beach before his friends saw him.

"What I say?"

"Breath first."

"B-But *Cough* my arms. "

He whispered, before coughing again.

"Wha-"

Katsuki stopped mid sentence, realizing the loose swim top that was on Izuku was no longer there.

It must fallen off when Midoriya was fighting for his life.

"Shit."

Bakugo whispered, under his breath.

"I don't want a-anyone to see. "

Izuku manage to sputter out, trying his best to hide himself into the blonde.

"It's alright, there all the way back there we'll get you back to the house before they fucking see. "

Katsuki reassured, as he ran back to the house as fast as he could.

"Bakugo what the hell!?"

Shoto yelled, using his ice to glide his way faster towards the two of them.

"I need to get him inside.... for uhh some fresh air?"

That was an extremely stupid response.

But Katsuki decided to roll with it.

The important thing at the moment, was the fact that daddy issues was hot on their trail, and Midoriya's scars were on full display.

"For fresh air?"

Shoto questioned, speeding up just enough to being able to jump in front of the two childhood friends.

"Damn it icy hot, fuck off!"

Katsuki yelled, trying his best to hide Midoriya.

"Not until I see Zuku. "

"I want to make sure he's alright."

Todoroki exclaimed, trying to come closer.

"Sho,please not now. "

The greenette pleaded, he was practically in the blondes shirt.

"I-I'm fine. "

"W-What's that on your hibs?"

"Are those sca-"

Realization fully dawned in the red and white hair boy.

Midoriya, his best friend was self harming.

"Damn it icyhot!"

The ash blonde hissed, why did he have to be so damn nosey!!

"Just help me get him in the room, before anyone else sees."

Bakugo soon growled, picking Izuku up and having him wrap his legs around his waist.

"Sorry Izu, I tried. "

Katsuki whispered, as Shoto kept everyone a few feet away.

"I-It's fine. "

Once the three teens got up into the childhood friend's room, there was just awkward tension.

"I'm gonna sit you down, in the bathroom and then go fetch some clothes ight?"

Bakugo was not liking be so soft in front of Todoroki, but at the moment he needed to keep Izuku calm.

Especially since his best friend now knows about his self harming plus he almost died.

"It's alright Bakugo, I'll keep an eye on him while you get his clothes. "

Katsuki didn't want to leave Midoriya alone for even a second with daddy issues.

But he knew that was over selfish reasons, so with sever hesitation he spoke up.

"Tch, fine but you better not scare him, or I'll kick your ass."

"Settle down doggie. "

Todoroki teased, as Bakugo walked off.

The Heterochromia guy stared straight at his best friend, he felt terrified.

He didn't wanna say the wrong thing, but he wanted to help Izuku somehow..... he was like a brother to him.

Which gave him in idea, a brilliant one at that.

At least in his opinion.

Then again would it be the best idea?

What if Izuku found it weird?

"Sho, please don't tell anyone. "

Or maybe his idea was a good one.

The greenette, shifted a tad bit on the toilet seat.

"Zuku, I'm gonna do something and I don't want you to freak out ok?"

Todoroki whispered, moving closer to the freckle teens figure until he was close enough to get on his knees.

Quietly begging the two teens were civil enough to clean there bathroom so he's not kneeling in piss.

"Midoriya.... "

Shoto whispered, grabbing ahold of one of the freckled teens now scarred wrist.

"I won't tell anyone I promise...."

"Just don't hate yourself because of these. "

Todoroki whispered, kissing the greenette's arm, before going to the other arm.

"Well I mean don't hate yourself period. "

"I don't know what's going on with you, but your my best friend and I care for you. "

"And I hate seeing you hurting like this, can you please tell me what's going on?"

"I-.... "

Izuku wanted too.

He really really wanted too.

He wanted to talk to someone.

But he was scared.

Scared no one would believe him.

Even one of his guy best friends.

"I can't sho.... I just can't. "

Midoriya managed to blubber out.

"It's ok Zuku, don't push yourself. "

"Take your time. "

"I'm always here, and I always will be. "

Todoroki declared, hugging the greenette for a moment before kissing his shoulder.

His mother use to kiss all his booboos away, and he hoped his and Izuku's brotherly love was comfortable enough.

"Thanks Sho."

All whilst that soft brotherly scene was going on, Bakugo was behind the door listening in and he came up with a couple of conclusions.

One, he was glad he could find Midoriya's clothes.

That was a lot harder then it seemed.

Two, whatever small crush that he was having for his childhood friend he needed to vanquish.

It was obvious Bakugo had no clue on what he was doing, he didn't know how to say those sweet things.

He could never comfort the freckle teen, like Shoto just did.

How come he didn't say any of that when he found out Izuku was self harming???

He didn't even ask him not to do it anymore!

Was he even helping Izuku?

"W-Where's Kacchan?"

Shit he forgot he still needed to give him some clothes.

"Right here nerd. "

"Took fucking ever to find your damn bag."

"Why'd ya hide it under my bed??"

Katsuki questioned, trying his best to act like he wasn't ease dropping.

"Heh.... because under my bed would be the first place someone would look. "

Midoriya replied, thinking about the couple of razors  he manage to sneak in his bag.

"What ever you say nerd. "

"Here put these on, me and icy hot are gonna have a little chat."

Bakugo declared, shuffling his feet away from the greenette and out the door.

Shoto falling right behind.

"I'll be back Zuku. "

The todoroki whispered, giving the greenette another hug before walking again.
