Izuku's POV

I sneezed awake, shivering. I felt my legs feel cold and looked down, noticing my towel wrapped around them. I was confused. Last I remembered was my legs being frozen in ice then warm arms carrying me. I try to remember who it was but failed currently.

Removing the towel, I walk too my bathroom and put it back, hoping that whoever had brought me up here didn't notice the blood. After the recent incident with Todoroki I felt horrible. My legs itched for pain and I looked at the time. 5:25pm. Good. I turn on the shower and take my clothes off, hoping in with my lucky razor.

🚧🚧🚧 Cutting! Be warned! I don't want too trigger any memories or make you feel uncomfortable. Please skip if you don't want to read! 🚧🚧🚧

I look down at my scar littered body, then down to my legs. They were covered in thin self harm cuts. I look at the razor in my hand and grinned to myself before bringing it down too my flesh.

1 cut for feeling worthless.

2 cuts for feeling useless.

3 cuts for being a burden.

.

20 cuts for not taking my bully's advice. (In this AU Bakugou didn't tell him, some other people did)

I quickly stop and wash the blood away, turning the shower off. I hop out and quickly wrap bandages around my fresh cuts tightly, so they won't bleed anymore. I felt better than before but still hungry. I get changed into some shorts that went up too my knees and a plain white top that had a dark-green cat on it.

I leave my bathroom and make my bed, noticing that there was a slight damp spot. I sigh and put a clean towel there that I got from under my sink. I felt like I was forgetting something put ignored it, leaving my dorm warily and walking silently down too the living area.

I notice that almost everyone was down there, Toga hanging out with the girls and looking so happy that it was saddening. I'd never seen her this happy, even when talking about taking my blood. Kurogiri was talking with the girls as well, fitting in well.

I just noticed this, but Kurogiri is older than all of us. Why is he here? Eh, doesn't matter. Shigiraki and Dabi were leaning on the wall, just talking with Bakugou and Iida surprisingly. Everyone else was either being alone (Overhaul), playing Star-dew-valley or cooking dinner.

I walk quietly over to the people playing Star-Dew-valley and sit down. Denki notices and jumps over to me.

'' Midobro! You're awake! '' He says loudly. Everyone else notices and they hop up from where they were.

'' Deku-kun! Are you okay? ''

'' Midoriya, are you feeling okay? ''

'' Dark Shadow was curious on how you were doing. ''

I silently laugh and soon everyone quieted out.

'' I'm fine, everyone, really! Todoroki just startled me, that's all. '' I explained. I feel someone's gaze on me but ignored it for now.

After I talked with everyone, they went back too what they were doing and I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I tense up, thinking it was Todoroki out of habit and turned around. It was just Dabi.

I let out an internal sigh of relief and look up at his face. '' Yeah? '' I asked.

''Are you sure you're okay? '' He questioned me. I tilt my head.

'' Of course I am, don't worry about it! ''

'' Come on, Shigiraki wants to talk to you. '' He motions for me to stand up and I do, following him over to the dull-haired teen who was still talking with Iida. Bakugou must of went too the kitchen. I shrug but sit down, wondering what he wanted to talk about.

Shigiraki noticed me and looked up. Iida took the hint and walked off to over-look the class. I felt a little nervous being left with Shigiraki but- never mind that feeling.

'' Hey, Deku. ' ' He began.

'' Hello. '' I say, smiling slightly. I swear I saw Dabi's cheeks turn a faint pink, but when I looked closer, of course not obviously, it was gone. I shrugged.

'' I want to apologise. I know, shitty way, but better than nothing. '' He explained, rubbing the back of his neck. I stare at him, shocked.

'' Why? '' I ask quietly.

'' Well, I know what I did too you and I didn't want to apologise, but that Iida persuaded me. '' He states.

'' It's fine, really. But why are you apologising? Yes, you almost killed me multiple times but I don't mind too much. '' I muttered the last part quietly, but from the shocked look that the two old villains sent at me I knew they heard.

'' What was that? '' Dabi asked, crouching down beside me. He looked worried.

'' It was nothing, don't worry about me. '' I sent another fake smile at him but he continues to frown. I notice the faint pink on his non-rotten skin again before it disappeared. I was still confused.

'' It was obviously something. '' Shigiraki snorts. I just glare at him before we hear someone yell from the kitchen.

'' DINNERS READY EXTRAS. ''

It was Kacchan.

I sigh before getting up, waiting for the other two to get up with me, and we walked to the dining area. We were having Katsudon. It looked delicious!

After dinner, Mina suggested having a sleep-over in the living area, as it was a Friday, turning Saturday. (I assume :p)

We agreed and everyone went too their dorms to change. I got changed into a sorta crop-top black hoodie and grey baggy shorts. It was going to be hot tonight so I didn't want to wear too much. The shorts went too just above my knees so my self-harm cuts were a safe secret. I grabbed my fluffy dark-green pillow and went down to the living-room, sitting down on the couch with the pillow in my hands. It was my favourate as my mother had given it too me before she...

Before I could further that thought, I shut it off, not wanting to cry. Eventually everyone, even Mineta and Overhaul, had come down. Since there wasn't enough room on the couches, Dabi sat in front of me, with Shigiraki beside him. I still felt confused as they shared a concerned glance with each other.

Dabi's POV

Midoriya concerned me.

That was no secret. But he also concerned Shigiraki. It was the first time the crusty-man I knew was worried for someone. But only I knew the reason why...

They were brothers.
