You left me behind

Chapter 13: Reliving

Bakugou's pov

"Katsuki I know this will be a lot to understand." My mother said

Both of my parents sat across from me. They looked serious but I couldn't tell anything else.

"Do you remember 8th grade?" My father asked

"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I remember?" I snarled

"You don't remember it all." My mother sighed

"I do!"

"Shoto went missing that year."

"No he just went missing a few months ago!" I yelled

There was so much I didn't understand. He was here until now. Everyone keeps lying to me.

――――――――♡♡♡――――――――

Flashback (8th grade)

"You were the last person who saw him!" I yelled

"Katsuki he never told me anything. He sat with me for hours and I took him home!" My mother sighed

"Did you not think about his home life?" I asked

"The police are here, we can talk about this later."

"I don't want to tell them about our relationship. They wouldn't listen when I told them something was wrong."

"I don't care what you want to do. This is important and maybe you'll feel better."

"Nothing will make me feel better about his death!"

She took a deep breath and grabbed my wrist dragging me back into the living room.

"Sorry about the wait." She smiled

"We're aware that Shoto Todoroki was found in the freezer. Dozens of bruises scattered around his body. Also dismembered with his brother Natsuo."

"Shoto told me for the longest time that Natsuo was just sick. He had a fear in his eyes like he was hiding something."

"Did you know anything about his home life?" They asked

"His mother and father are the ones to blame. Touya simply had to do what he had to do to survive. Fuyumi was probably the one breaking inside to tell someone."

"So you believe Touya had something to do with this?"

"That's not what I'm saying!"

This is when it all hit me. The dizziness and the dimming lights got more intense. My upper body fell onto the couch as my eyes closed.

――――――――♡♡♡――――――――

"Shoto was found the summer before 9th grade. Of course you couldn't go to school when you were actually supposed to." My mother said

"Why not?" I asked

"Because in 8th grade you had a huge breakdown, screaming in terror holding your hands up to your ears."

"I wouldn't do that."

"Katsuki, you probably wouldn't admit everything you did while this happened."

"But I'm not like that!"

"You were the one who found him, looked for him so long. It makes sense for you to act differently."

"So what's wrong with me?" My voice got quieter

"The doctor claimed you're just stuck in the past. He said it was best to let you keep trying until you went to far."

"How crazy did I get when it occurred?"

"You relived everything, seen everything the exact same way right after it happened."

――――――――♡♡♡――――――――

"Doesn't your mother always say to leave breadcrumbs?" Shoto asked

"Yeah but it's not like anything is ever going to happen."

"What if something does happen? Would you look for me?"

"Of course, I would look anywhere for you."

"I might never be found."

"I'll make sure I'm the one to find you."

"Katsuki if you find me than you could be afraid for the rest of your life."

"You act like you know exactly how you'll die."

He shrugged and watched the setting sun in the distance. Tears were brimming in his eyes.

"I guess I'll just miss you, since you're leaving tomorrow. There will be a note in the orange notebook I gave you."

"Stop being so sad! It's not like it's the last time we'll see each other."

I grabbed his hand and ran through the field of flowers. Petals swarming around us in the wind.

His big beautiful smile plastered on his face. Eyes shining perfectly in the sunset.

"Katsuki!"

"Yeah?" I looked at him

"I love you."

He kissed me for the first time. Announced his love for the first time. Last time I would ever see him.

Dear Katsuki,
If you're reading this, it's probably when I've disappeared. Disappeared with no trace or somewhere I'll never be found. Natsuo was never sick. He was dead, hidden to never be found but we know where he is. Fuyumi begged for us to tell someone. I knew my last day was coming so I went to your mother but no words would form. Touya was trying to get enough money for us to escape. He was the only hope they had. For me, my hope wasn't arriving. You were bright and warm I didn't need saved. Even just knowing you was enough to satisfy me. You must move on, find someone new. I'm just glad that I was someone to you.

From,
Shoto Todoroki
