Izuku's POV (you probably already knew that though)

My friend. Already texted her. Told her not to be my friend. And now she's crying over it.

Who would send Toga a text saying not to be frie- oooooohhhhhh... I'm such a.. aaaah argh bleh I'm so stupid.

My mind is frazzled, my emotions astray. I couldn't think at all so I did the most reasonable thing to do: run to the bathroom and cry. My feet just carried me there like it was nothing, which I guess I can thank Kacchan for. But I'm not thanking him anytime soon. He just ruined one of my few good friendships.

I sat in the bathroom for a while until the warning bell rang for school to start. I get up and splash my face with water to rinse off the tears and tear stains. Not bothering to dry off the water I walk into class with my trademark smile. Ura rushes up to me and starts asking me question after question about where I was and what happened. I casually smiled and didn't respond at all. Just sitting at my desk waiting.

Soon enough Aizawa walks in with a pile of paperwork. Just great. Homework, stress, pressure, friends-

"Midoriya? Go to the office for something." Aizawa-sensei put a phone back on his desk hanging up. I didn't even realize it rang or anything. "Now." He holds out a hall pass for me and I quickly get up and grab it. Walking into the deserted hallways to get to the office.

What could I have done? Oh no, did Toga get really upset? Did something happen to her? Did I cause something to happen to her? Did Kuro or Shigaraki rat me out as being a bad person? Did I get blamed for something I didn't do?

Without thinking properly I somehow knocked on the door. Nezu opens the door and inside is All Might, carrying a phone and not smiling...

"Hello, Midoriya. Please come in." He steps to the side and I walk in, taking a seat next to All Might. "We just received a call from your mother." Oh... oh... "and it's not good. Here she's still on the line, I think it's best you talk to her." All Might stands up and hands me the phone.

"Izuku honey?" Her voice, although muffled by the connection, was filled with sadness and sobs. There was a slight waver in her voice as she spoke that sounded like she was straining herself to not break out in tears again. "Something... something happened..."

"Mom? Is everything alright with Grandpa?" As if I hadn't cried enough already, I could feel the sobs threatening to spill from my mouth.

The sound of hair brushing against the microphone was heard, probably her shaking her head. "...no baby... it's not... he- he passed..." and there it was.

I had almost forgotten about my grandfather being in the hospital. With all my social drama going on, it's hard to remember. But now that I've been hit with this sudden reminder that people die, it doesn't help at all.

Her sobs continued through the line as my eyes were wide, and my face shocked. But no tears could come. Not a single tear is coming to my eyes now. Am I a horrible person for not being able to cry when my grandfather's death has just been told to me? Probably. Do I care? No.

I'm shaking and my thoughts are askew. For the second time today, I've seen someone's life flash before my eyes. All the time I've spent with him, all the time I thought I had left with him. And for me not to have said a good goodbye. In fact the last time I saw him, it was summer and I was ready to leave. I was looking forward to going to school and everything. But now... he's gone...

All Might reaches out a comforting hand to me and I scoot back. He takes the hint and instead offers me a tissue. Why? I'm not even crying. But I should be....

I drop the phone and I start for the door. It not opening upon first try worried me. Would they really try and keep me here? That's insane. I try again, still nothing.

"Young Midoriya I-" I cut off All Might before he says anything else.

"You don't get to keep me here. Let me go home. I don't want to be here."

Nezu speaks next, "we cannot let you go home. Your mother informed us you'd probably do that, and she thinks it would be best if you stayed with a friend. Katsuki Bakugo is whom she suggested." He takes a sip of his tea casually as though he didn't just witness someone finding out their beloved grandparent just died.

"Why would I go there when I just want to be alone at home!?" My eyes hurt from not being able to cry.

I hear Nezu say something into another phone, but I don't care. I can't care right now. I just want to be alone to think.

A few minutes later I see Kacchan walk into the office, he has a single tear falling on his face. He doesn't say anything he just stands there, looking at me. Looking at the me, who is broken, but not crying. Scared, but not running. And the me who is a little boy, who can't handle the truth of this unfair world.

Hey-o!

Shorter chapter, but still a lot happened. Maybe this was rushed, maybe I'll rewrite it. But for now, this is what I got.

Shout out to... uhh... Rragnclaw_amity for letting me edit. It's a good story right now.
