Chapter 38
~~~Kacchan's POV~~~
After the adults left Deku brought up lunch.
"Okay, so Shinsou, do you want to have lunch at the park while we listen to music? We can get to know everyone and we also will be out of the house."
"I'm down."
"Alright Toshi, so do you guys wanna set everything up for tonight then head out?"
"That might be best," Raccoon eyes said with other assuring noises from the idiots. So Izu went and got the spare blankets from around the house, and pillows including his bedding for us. Raccoon eyes and Shitty hair set their things next to their cot, seeing as it was rather large it could fit two people easily. If they're still planning on doing a 'cuddle party' they may even be able to fit three. I go around and find more bedding on the main floor seeing as Deku was still upstairs. I go in the spare bedroom that never gets used because no one really comes over, grab the things from there. I go to the hall closet down here and grab those things, and that's all that's down here so I make my way back to the idiots to see Raccoon eyes and Shitty hair making a fuss over the bunny.
"Leave the damn thing alone. It isn't a toy."
"But Bakubabe, look at it!"
"I've seen her before, she probably wants to go outside. Oi, Deku!"
"Yeah Kacchan?"
"Why don't we take Ebony to the park with us?"
"That's a great idea Kacchan, we should. Should I get her harness?"
"I'll do it." I head up the stairs to Izu's room to find the harness and leash.
"It's in the bottom drawer of my left night stand."
"Alright nerd." I go to look, and I find it. Of course it's red, it's one of the nerds' favorite colors. His outfit even consists of red, as a red long sleeved semi-crop top. He looks great, don't get me wrong.
"Do you want me to pack a string bag for us and you nerd?"
"Please, you know where my notebooks are, can you also grab my red one? Oh and my wallet-"
"Is on the dresser. I know nerd. I'll also grab a pen and some snacks for Ebony."
"Thank you Kacchan!" The nerd sounds like he's just now headed downstairs. I grab my wallet also seeing as it was in my bag that I packed, I also grab a portable charger in case someone's phone is dead. I head back downstairs to see Pinky still messing with Ebony.
"Pinky, give me the damn bunny. I gotta get the harness on."
"Don't hurt the poor thing!"
"I won't, just give me it." She reluctantly handed Ebony over, fearful if I'd hurt an animal. I start putting the harness on as I toss the bag towards the idiots.
"Put whatever you want or need to take in the bag, if you don't want to hold it that is." And they did, I just didn't pay attention as I was trying not to hurt the innocent animal. Although the said animal didn't put up any fight whatsoever and allowed me to get the harness on without fuss, but didn't want to get down. Tch, it's alright. I pet the damned thing as I wait for everyone to set things up, I of course did end up setting Ebony down to help the nerd with our sleeping area. Once everyone's set up, Pikachu on the cot close to the stairs, Eyebags next to him, Raccoon eyes and shitty hair next to him, then earphones next to them. And Deku and I on the pull out. We're all lying to view the tv.
"Okay, now what does everyone want?"
"Kiri, Jirou, and I are down for pizza, but if you guys want something else that's fine too."
"Bro pizza sounds good right now." Of course it's pikachu that said it.
"I'm down. Bakuhoe Midoriya?"
"Tch, whatever."
"Pizza it is. Did everyone put what they want and/or need in the bag if they don't want to carry it?" The group of idiots nodded and I headed into the kitchen.
"Kacchan?"
"I need to fill the animal bottle for Ebony so she doesn't overheat."
"I was gonna do it when I made-"
"Shut the hell up nerd, I've got it. Stop worrying."
"Okay, thank you Kacchan!"
"Whatever nerd," there was an obvious smile left on my face.
"Dude, why are you so harsh?"
"You wanna fucking die Shitty hair?"
"Kacchan, he doesn't know much about you or me. It makes sense he asks-"
"Am I too harsh Zu?"
"What? No, Kacchan! Come on. You would be able to read me like an open book if you were." I walk back towards the group. I hate how easy it is to doubt myself, it's weak.
"Kirishima, I understand why you ask, but it isn't harsh."
"He calls you Deku, I'm sure we all know what it means, he never calls anyone by their name from what I've seen-"
"Oi, dumbass I'm right here. If you have an issue with me bring it up to me, not my boyfriend."
"I'm just saying bro, you could try to be a little nicer."
"Bakubitch has improved over the months, sorry to interrupt Kirishima. I want us all to enjoy the weekend and allow Midoriya to have a break from his mind, but you need to understand that shit's gone down in the past and the way Bakuhoe is, isn't because he's trying to be."
"Tch, I don't need you to save my ass Zombie."
"Sorry, I get I stepped out of line. That was unmanly of me, I apologize. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions."
"Whatever, are we ready to go or what?"
"Just let me find a quilt or something so we can sit on it instead of the grass."
"Unless you took it out, you should have one in your closet."
"I completely forgot about that one, thank you Kacchan!" I watch as the nerd goes upstairs, trying to rush.
"Look man, I'm sorry. I just don't understand how he can take the insults as if he deserves them."
"What I say aren't insults. Watch your tongue, although I did use them as insults once before. We came to an agreement after some disturbing shit happened. Deku may have that meaning still, but it is still my nickname for him along with other things. I don't need to explain myself to you, but I want to make sure the nerd doesn't hear any shit from anyone. I get I don't deserve him, doesn't mean I won't fight to keep him."
"Don't take anything personally Kirishima, he calls me Pikachu and Shinsou many other things. Hell Mina embraces hers, I think it's a way to show he wants to know us or something. I don't know. But you'll see, he cares for Izu, more than anything."
"Doesn't mean what he says won't hurt him in the future."
"Shut the hell up Shitty hair. You don't know him, you don't know our relationship or what we do to keep the pain away."
"I got the blanket, you guys ready?" Everyone nods and heads out, I grab the nerds hand, the bunny's leash in my hand connected to Ebony, and I give him a quick peck on the lips before we take off out of the house, locking the door behind us. Eyebags is leading, while everyone follows with Zuku and I in the back.
"Kacchan, why did you react to Kiri like you did?"
"He shouldn't question me nor call me out about what I call you. We know our reasons."
"Babe, you need to remember the only one that knows us the most is Toshi, then Denks, then Mina, Jirou and Kiri know nothing about us. Of course they wouldn't know what you mean when you call me nerd and Deku and all that."
"I don't need any damn extra questioning me about my fucking feelings."
"Kacchan, he didn't mean anything by it. He was just curious, please don't get angry."
"Tch, let him figure things out." I receive a kiss on the cheek from Deku and I squeeze his hand in return.
"Hey, Bakubitch, Midoriya, you guys are slacking."
"R-right, sorry Toshi." I roll my eyes. Why did I think this was a good idea? Deku sped up our pace, after I picked Ebony up so I wasn't tugging on her leash. I still see no reason as to why the shitty extra questioned me. He doesn't know me, or Deku. We make it to the park five minutes after the entire discussion. Izu's the one to lead us after, we went a little ways into the woods near the swings and there was a small pond. I smile fondly remembering this from when we used to play, catching bugs, sadly even falling off the log. Although the log is now a beautiful bridge, built up of twigs and vines to form lovely patterns.
"This place is beautiful, how'd you find it Izubabe?"
"A-ah, w-well Kacchan and I used to play over here growing up, I thought it would leave us enough privacy and quiet to relax."
"That's an amazing idea Midoriya," zombie says while he walks over to ruffle his hair, Zu sending him a huge smile in return.
"Thanks Toshi, come on, let's set up then I can go and get the pizza."
"Izu, don't worry about the pizza, you set up and I'll go get it, spend time with these idiots."
"O-oh, are you sure Kacchan? I don't want you to go alone."
"Don't worry Zu, I'll go with Bakubitch."
"A-alright, please be safe." He walks over to me to give me a chaste kiss.
"Don't tell me what to do when you know I'd never get hurt you damned nerd." I have a smile on my face and so does he, he knows I can handle my own.
"We'll be back." We left after that, the pizza place is only five minutes in the opposite direction from Izu's house.
"What's going on Bakushit."
"Stop with the damn names. And what the hell do you mean?"
"I'll stop when you do, and I mean, why did you react the way you did with Kirishima?"
"You aren't my damned therapist, don't act like it."
"These aren't therapy questions, these are questions from a friend."
"Like hell, besides what's it to you?"
"Bakugou, stop. If you want to be shitty then go ahead, but you need to watch your tone. Midoriya doesn't deserve a ruined chance at a friendship because you couldn't keep your shitty attitude in check."
"If you're gonna lecture me, go back. I already know I don't deserve shit, especially Deku. I don't need a fucking reminder."
"I never said that. Now what pissed you off back at the house?"
"Fucking Shitty hair, isn't it fucking obvious. Also yes the fuck you did, or at least imply it, along with the shitty extras."
"First, no. He was wondering why you used derogatory terms to refer to your supposed boyfriend. Second, when I said that he doesn't deserve the ruined opportunity I wasn't saying you didn't deserve him. From what I can tell, you're the best thing that has happened to him in a while, and I know you have a rocky path but you make each other happy. What I was saying is that you should at least try to drop the attitude before you blow up to an extreme. I get that you don't want people questioning you, but if you saw someone acting like that to their significant other, wouldn't you question?"
"I hate it when you're fucking right. Whatever, come on let's get the damn pizza."
"Wait, I was wondering something else."
"What is it shitty eyebags?"
"Why this weekend?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you choose this weekend for Izu to have a sleepover?"
"I wasn't going to be enough to stop him. He shouldn't be alone this weekend, and he needed a break from the piercing silence in the house."
"You say you wouldn't be enough? But you are."
"Whatever, come on."
~~~Back with Izu, his POV in the time Bakugou went to get the pizza with Shinsou~~~
"Hey, Mido. I'm really sorry if I overstepped at all."
"No, you're fine Kiri."
"Zu, you might want to explain to them before Bakugou get's back."
"R-right, Denki already knows a bit of it, Mina knows less. But you guys know nothing. Growing up Kacchan and I had been best friends, considering our mom's were friends in high school. We grew distant after I turned four and he had turned into a bully. Before you think anything he's explained why and although we know he could have gone different about it, it's done and over with now. We recently reconnected due to personal reasons, and we got together a couple weeks ago. The day school let out actually. Since February he's been helping me get out of this," I try searching for the word.
"Slump," Mina tried providing.
"Yeah, your question as to why he calls me Deku, well. I guess I never tried correcting him, but he also uses it along with other nicknames. The word doesn't hold any power if you don't give it any. Kiri, I understand your concern for my relationship, but Kacchan is the best thing to have happened to me in a while. I wouldn't be here today without him."
"I'm sorry Midoriya."
"N-no, you're fine. It isn't like you and Jirou know anything about Kacchan and I, we just met you today and I know it's not normal for things to turn out this way."
"I-I did have one question."
"What's up Jirou?"
"Why did you decide to do this, this weekend?"
"O-oh. W-well my mom went out of town and something happened yesterday. S-so Kacchan had asked if I wanted to have a get together. I-I don't exactly know why but I have a guess."
"Do you mind sharing your guess?"
"K-Kacchan didn't want me to be alone at any point." I cast my gaze downwards and chew on my lip.
"Is this about what happened last time?"
"I was going to plan again."
"ZU!"
"That's why, Kacchan found out and, yeah."
"What's going on?" I jump when I hear the voice of my boyfriend. Has ten plus minutes already passed?
"O-oh, welcome back guys, we were just talking," I responded rather rushed.
"Tch, come on. Let's eat."
"O-oh right. Um Jirou, since you're the one to ask to listen to music do you want to play it?"
"U-um, if everyone's okay with it then sure. B-but only if everyone's okay with it!"
"Here, it's already on just connect your phone." I hand her the speaker, and she starts playing music. We spent about an hour hanging around the park, Ebony loved it. She spent most of the time running around and trying to play. Mina and Jirou were obsessed with her. Denks had pulled Shinsou somewhere for a little, then came and got me and pulled me to where they were.
"Zu, what made you want to plan again?"
"Everything that built up." As I spoke I saw Shin wave towards us. Probably Kacchan.
"Hey, why are you guys over here?" It was my boyfriend.
"Zu had been asked why this weekend and suggested to me that he wanted to try planning."
"If you're looking for answers, then yes he was but that's why I set everything up."
"Why?"
"It's all that I could think about after last week. The old man, my breakdown. All my brain was telling me was ways to detach myself and become less- well everything."
"Why so many people? Even people you don't know," the cat-like boy asked once again.
"Kacchan should probably answer that, it was his idea."
"I didn't want to risk him being alone. And I didn't know if I would be enough to stop him."
"Kacchan?"
"Midoriya, can you explain to me how you would have planned? Bakugou, Kaminari go back to the group, they're probably wondering where we ran off to." Kacchan was hesitant until I just nodded to him. One of us would end up telling him later.
"Do you want me to call Aato so he's present?"
"N-no. He would be disappointed."
"No one's disappointed in you Izuku."
"Mom, Kacchan, Aato, Denks, my father-"
"Your mom loves you, Bakugou loves you more than anything, Aato just wants to help you the best that he can, Denki is still confused but still cares about you, your father is a piece of shit and has no place in your fucking life. Now, can you please explain to me how you were going to plan?"
"I have a notepad on my phone that I can put a lock on it. I can make notebooks, put a name to each one where I was going to put their notes, anything else, maybe a voice recording so they wouldn't miss me so much. I was going to make a separate notebook for the plan itself. Ways I would start preparing myself, the way I want to go, how I'd let myself detach. But it wouldn't happen until winter. I would slowly start eating less, try to be so subtle so Kacchan wouldn't notice. Go for runs more often, try losing more weight, it'll help freeze. I would try to make mom less worried and make it to where she wouldn't hurt. When the right day came, the lake froze over, I would jump into it. Swim some ways to make sure I couldn't get out or rescued in time. Hope that losing the weight would help me freeze faster, I would leave my phone in my house with a passcode written on a note. Kacchan would find it first, then write the notes out, or show them to the corresponding people, seeing as I don't want mom to read dads. Then let everyone move on with their lives."
"Alright, but what if Bakugou didn't find it first? What if no matter what you hope for, everyone misses you? What if he noticed your eating habits, or noticed your weight? What if it doesn't get cold enough for that plan to go through? What if no one moves on after? Zuku, I understand why you want to leave, but the way you're wishing things to go... it isn't plausible. You're hoping to just erase yourself from everyone's minds, but that isn't possible."
"Shin, you don't understand. When dad gets home, and finds everything out, I'm dead. It won't matter."
"Then let Aato tell your mom and the authorities!"
"I can't do that!" Tears well up in my eyes. Great.
"Hey, I heard yellin- Izubabe? What's wrong," Mina asked.
"N-nothing. We were just talking. Sorry." I can tell she's still coming closer, gently wrapping her arms around me.
"Hey, you're alright Zu. I've got you," she continues soft words as she strokes my hair, other hand rubbing my back.
"I'll go back to the group, I'm sorry Midoriya."
"N-no, you didn't do anything Toshi." Mina slowly pulls me down, sitting next to me as she lets my head rest on her shoulder.
"What happened?"
"N-nothing, we were just talking."
"Zu, you're close to breaking down, what happened."
"Don't take this the wrong way, one day I might tell you, I just... too many already know. It's something that. I care about you and you're a friend and all that, I just-"
"Shhh, it's alright babe, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Do you want me to get Bakugou?"
"N-no! H-he doesn't need to see me like this."
"Deku? Eyebags told me you were crying."
"Well, looks like I didn't get the chance, do you want me to leave?" I just nod slightly.
"Thank you, Mina. Sorry about this."
"No problem babe, ever need anything I'm here!"
"What happened love," Kacchan asks as he sits next to me, lifting me and setting me on his lap, playing with my hair.
"I told Shin, and he pointed out flaws in my plan. I stated how it wouldn't matter because I'd be dead when dad finds out, and then he said to let Aato tell mom, and the authorities. I can't let that happen Kacchan, mom will be lonely and I won't be able to comfort her."
"Zu, your mom is better without him. She hasn't seen him in what? Three years?"
"Kacchan, she loves him. I can't ruin that."
"Izu, she loves you. You're her life."
"And look how much I fucked that up," I let out a bitter laugh as I said it.
"Babe, you didn't fuck it up. He did. I did. You were the victim in this, not the criminal."
"Kacchan, don't compare yourself. Please. You aren't like him, can we please talk about this after Monday?"
"We can't because you'll clam up. And how am I different? You know our past."
"Yes, I know our past. I looked up to you, I followed you. You pushed me away and then, you dropped your act. We became friends and then two weeks ago we started dating. You changed because you aren't like that bastard. You're different because you actually love me. So don't compare yourself to him."
"Then why can't your mom know about either?"
"Kacchan, that's in the past. Mom doesn't need to know. Because I've forgiven you."
"What about the bastard?" I shift my eyes down.
"Kacchan-"
"Deku, d-do you forgive him," he hesitated asking, scared of my answer.
"I-I just understand."
"Understand what?" I could feel his anger rising, and I tried to squirm away, but Kacchan won't let me go.
"K-Kacchan, please calm down."
"What do you understand?" I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down so I'm not as scared.
"I-I understand why he d-did it. Why he s-said everything." I look back down to the ground, and after a few seconds I hear Denks calling for Ebony. I look around and see her hopping to me, then I see Kami come into view. I reach to pet Ebony, but she's trying to pull me away, slightly thumping on Kacchan. He lets me go and I can tell Denki can feel the change in emotion with Kacchan.
"Hey, Bakugou. Are you okay?"
"Get eyebags." I can see him trying to calm himself down, but I can also tell it isn't working.
"K-Kacchan, can you look at me?" I slightly stood up, holding Ebony seeing as she didn't want me away from her.
"Why the hell do you listen to his damn words?"
"K-Kacchan, I-I don't know. T-they just sound right, p-please calm down."
"Bakugou, Kaminari told me something was wrong. What the hell happened?"
"This dumbass agrees with his bastard of a sperm donor."
"First of all, calm the fuck down. Second, Bakugou this isn't news. Yeah we're trying to get Zu out of that thought process but we already knew he listened to him."
"We knew it from body language. There was still a chance we were wrong."
"Zu, what happened?"
"W-we started talking about what you said. I said she loves dad and K-Kacchan rebutted saying she loves me and I'm her life."
"He fucking laughed and said 'yeah look how I've fucked that up.' Then I stated that he wasn't the one to fuck things up, how he's the fucking victim and not the criminal. How the bastard is and how I am. To which he stated how I'm not like him. Fucking bullshit. He stated sappy shit, and I asked why auntie doesn't know about either. He stated because he forgave me and how it was in the past. To which I asked if he forgave the bastard. Which led him to say he understood why he said and did all this shit. So I'm fucking sorry if I'm pissed off at the fact that the fucking asshole ruined any fucking positive thought about himself due to the fact of beating him down so fucking much."
"Bakugou, go take a walk before I make you. You need to calm the fuck down because can't you see Midoriya's scared right now?"
"I'm not going for some shitty walk. I'm not mad at Zu. I'm fucking pissed at myself. Deku, I'm sorry if I made it seem like it was because of you." Kacchan started walking over to me halfway through talking, softening his voice when we said the last part, engulfing me in a hug. I hugged back, squeezing him closer which caused him to relax more.
"C-can we please just go back to the group? W-we can go over this with Aato Thursday."
"Don't think I'll forget. Come on, you guys have been gone for a while." I took Kacchan's hand, and Toshi's after we got to him.
"H-hey guys, sorry we kinda disappeared on you," I drop Toshi's hand and use my free on to rub my neck and look at the ground.
"Mido, don't worry man. It's not like we aren't going to be with you guys all weekend. So chill out man."
"S-still, you guys don't really know around here and I kinda just left-"
"Izubabe, you're fine. You needed a few minutes to yourself. We understand."
"T-then let me explain-"
"Midoriya, I know you don't want to, I get it. Kiri gets it. You don't need to apologize because of something that happens and ends up breaking you down." I could tell there that Mina and Denks told them.
"A-again I'm sorry."
"Zu, don't worry," this time my attention caught the gold eyes of Denki.
"Okay, what do you idiots want to do now?"
"We could head back and watch movies or play games," Jirou asked.
"That sounds fun, we could spend the night just learning about each other. Oo we so could play truth or dare." I giggle at Mina's antics.
"Hell yeah, that'd be so fun," Kirishima added.
"W-we need to make sure everyone's okay with it first."
"That sounds like a lot of fun Mina, but how exactly could we play truth or dare? You know how my parents are."
"The dares won't be too out there. Considering we don't know anyones sexualities other than Izu and Bakubitch."
"I'm down," Shin answered.
"Yeah, this'll be fun!"
"If everyone's down then I guess we can."
"Whatever."
"So do you guys wanna head back now then?"
"Sure." So we start packing up, I have the leash and we start leaving, Kacchan and I in front seeing as Shin doesn't exactly know my house by heart.
