𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: suicide (kind of), past character death, keita's parents being the worst

There's a TLDR at the bottom for plot stuff if you don't want to read it (stop at the marked section and scroll til you see another one) stay safe everyone <3.

The cemetery was quiet. It made sense of course, for it to be quiet but Keita felt uneasy.

He sighed as he dropped down to sit before the grave. With a quick familiar motion, a colorful bouquet of flowers was gently placed in the pot, replacing the wilting ones. Keita paused, leaning forward wiping what little dirt was there off the gravestone. He glanced at the cards and gifts scattered around it. Like the graves of just about every even tangentially well known hero, Aki's gravestone was covered in cards and flowers.

"Thanks for saving me" or "Thank you Hero!" and other messages of gratitude and support covered the grave like leaves in the fall. As much as Keita hated the fact that Aki had been forced to become a hero, he knew that Aki would be thrilled to have helped so many people. Was it selfish to say he'd rather have his brother?

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Y/N not too far away sitting crisscrossed on the ground, hands moving as she excitedly told her mom all about hanging out with friends and being a hero. It reminded him of when she was younger when she'd ramble to her mom about her day at school.

Keita couldn't help but smile lightly at that. Eva would've doubtlessly been just as happy about their kiddo's recent friendships. He could all but see the proud and happy smile on his late wife's face, her eyes flicking to the same warm comforting yellow they always did when she was incredibly happy.

He let out a happy sigh before turning back.

"Hello Aki." He mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry I haven't visited in a bit... Still a workaholic I'm afraid... " He chuckled lightly. "You know me, I can't leave well enough alone. Life has been rather hectic recently. Y/N's doing well. Genuinely doing well , not how she sometimes pretends she's okay for my sake. She doesn't want me to worry... She's like you in that way. Well, actually, she's like you in so many ways." He chuckled weakly and sniffled. . "You would have adored her no doubt. And she would've loved to meet you..."

"Y/N's in UA, if you'll believe it..." He glanced back at Y/N still engrossed in whatever story she was telling, completely unaware of his words. "That terrifies me." He sighed, pulling off his glasses to rub his face. "If you'd told me that my kiddo would go to a hero school... I would've said 'over my dead body'. In all honesty, I still don't like it. You and I know how heroics goes... But... She's so happy. I know how difficult this all has been for her.

He glanced at Y/N. "It's a bit irrational. I know she's incredibly strong but she's still a kid. Still my kid. I need to protect her." Keita sighed and tipped his head back, staring at the clear blue sky. "Better than I protected you, Aki..."

Keita barely managed to yell a quick "Sorry!" over his shoulder at the nurse he'd practically barreled over. But he didn't stop. He kept running despite his body screaming at him to stop. He didn't stop until he saw the numbered room he'd been searching for. Keita's shoes actually left scuffs on the floor as he forced himself to stop mid-run and even then he still slammed into the wall by the door. He slammed the door open and ran into the room.
