Comfort - Katsuki x Reader [Sequel to Barrier]

Ch. 43 - Betrayal

Nobody:
Me: updating every chance I get bc I'm excited

"Y/n, I'm glad to see you, are you ready to get going?" Izuku spoke with a smile.

You nodded as he continued to stand in front of you, his vibrant green eyes seemingly searching you.

"I-Is something wrong?" You stuttered a bit put off.

He suddenly snapped out of it and shook his head, "No, sorry I was just thinking about something someone told me."

"Oh." You responded more at ease now, "What did they tell you, maybe I can help?"

He tensed and quickly waved his hands around, "Its nothing! You dont need to worry about it."

"That's odd."

You shrugged off your thought and began walking.

"So who is the victim?" You asked.

"He's at the hospital, his injuries are long healed but he's traumatized, we're lucky that he's willing to talk about it." The green hair male sighed.

"Right."

Once you both got to the hospital you were lead to the psych ward and sat at a table. Moments later a male with violet hair and eyes came out.

He wore a hospital shirt and pants and white bandages were wrapped around his arms from his elbows to his knuckles.

"Self harm?"

He sat down and began to speak.

"My name is Tsumiki and the only reason I'm telling you this is because I dont want anyone else to suffer like this." He started off shakily, the entire time his eyes were locked on his hands that were balled into fists on his thighs.

"Right. And once we know we'll be closer to stopping them." Izuku responded smoothly.

Tsumiki nodded and began.

"I remember now. Although at the time I had no clue about anything, all I could remember was my name and quirk. I found a note where I first woke up telling me I needed to kill someone to get back my memories. I just wanted to remember so I began looking for her."

He swallowed thickly.

"I somehow found her. She was so happy to see me but i didnt know who she was. So I let her get close then...." he trailed of as his voice cracked.

"I killed her." He cried, "It was so easy and as soon as I did I remembered. Now I wish I didnt! She was all I had, all I wanted! How was I supposed to know! I couldn't remember!"

His voice had risen considerably and he clutched at his sides. Your blood ran cold and he looked up at you.

His dull eyes looked into your soul, your body tensed as your pupils dilated.

You hadn't had someone look at you with such a broken and destroyed look before. Your heart was beating hard against your ribcage and you nearly forgot to breathe.

"I killed her.... I killed my daughter!" He looked back down and shook a bit before very slowly looking back up at you his eyes shrunk, "You're gonna kill him."

Your breath hitched as you jumped slightly. He started laughing, hands raising to his face and up into his messy violet hair.

"You're gonna kill him~ you're gonna kill him~" he was laughing tauntingly, dull eyes locked onto your e/c ones.

He continued to say it, like a broken record as the nurses came and took him back into the ward.

You watched him go as fear rose in your chest. You could feel Izuku's eyes on you.

"Y/n-" He began but you cut him off as you abruptly stood and began to quickly make your way outside.

He followed you quickly, "Y/n, wait!"

You had pushed out the doors of the hospital and onto the wide sidewalk, turning in the direction you wanted when he caught up and put and arm across your back and latching onto your right shoulder.

"Y/n, don't worry, just because someone says it doesn't mean its true. Besides, that guy didn't know what he was talking about, and you already told me that you wouldn't kill him."

Then something clicked in your mind.

"Izuku. Why haven't you asked who it was I was going to kill?"

You could feel him tense next to you as he began to stutter out an excuse. You stepped away from him to look into his eyes with your wide eyed, smoldering expression.

"W-well I was but you said you wouldn't kill him so he wasn't in any danger." He spoke with a nervous smile.

"No! He couldn't trust me, the only way he would know that the one I'm trying to kill is safe was if-"

He had begun to reach a hand out for your shoulder in a soothing manner but you grabbed it before it could and then, to your surprise, his other hand quickly grabbed it and held on tightly.

Your eyes looked into his as your expression came alight with betrayal.

"You knew?" You practically whispered.

He looked away and suddenly you were angry as you ripped you arm away from his.

"You knew all this time and didn't tell me?! What was all that talk about trust then? Just some lie so I would help you?" You snapped bitterly.

"No, I was trying to-"

"I don't believe you." You interrupted sourly.

You began backing way as he tried to look for the right thing to say, franticly fumbling over his words.

He noticed the gaining distance from you and suddenly lurched for you, before he could reach you you fearfully turned and started running.

You ran back to the only place you felt safe at the moment, ignoring as Izuku called for you to come back.
