ㅡ the lost one's weeping. 「 bnha villain deku 」

「 015 [REVISED] 」

"ㅡwait no. stop midoriya, it's not real. stop getting your hopes up." he stopped walking towards the bar and diverted his direction back to the route going home, oblivious from a pair of eyes looking at him.

"izuku! where have you been?!" inko who was waiting at the front door for almost 4 hours saw izuku and it felt like all her problems in life just dissipated. "you're all wet! did you cry?! what happened?!"

"nothing, mom." midoriya faked a smile. "i was suddenly in an unfamiliar place, i didn't know where to go so i stayed for a long time in the rain. i did not cry mom, don't worry."

"where you hurt?"

"i'm not, mom. it was really just rainy outside."

"come on, change your clothes. here's a towel, and give me your uniform." inko said as she handed her son a towel. midoriya went to his room and took a warm bath. his thoughts flooded him all over again as he just stared at the wall in front of him while the water in the shower just kept on flowing.

they did the usual, inko serving her tired son tonkatsu, midoriya eating happily, returning back to his room, and watching all might's debut scene for the nth time.

ah. he remembered. even all might actually rejected him.

"give it up, kid."

"...he's laughing!"

"it's fine now. why? because i am hereㅡ" midoriya closed the video and turned his computer off. he jumped on his bed and fell asleep.

「 ロストワンの号哭。」

the next day, same routine. he wakes up, prepares for school, and walks to his school. all the same thing he does. the only thing different were his eyes and his emotions. they all look tired, blank, and lifeless, who's given up on life, and he was just waiting to be hit by a vehicle and die.

he entered the school grounds, still looking all lifeless. surprisingly, bakugo did not bother him for the first few hours, but when it was time for a break he suddenly called to him. "oi dekuㅡ" bakugo widened his eyes seeing the green-haired boy stare into nothing and his eyes looking dead.

with this, bakugo was enraged for absolutely no reason at all and dragged him on his collar. "YOU LITTLE SHIT! LISTEN TO ME WHEN I CALL TO YOU! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DO AS YOU PLEASE AND NOT LISTEN TO ME?! WHAT, ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN ON ME?! I'LL KILL YOU!"

midoriya knew what was happening around him, yet he let bakugo do what he wanted and did not even think about resisting and fight back. he was ready to receive the explosion on his face. jokes on bakugo, midoriya wanted to drop dead right now, he wanted to die.

"ne, kacchan," midoriya spoke in a soft voice, eyes still looking lifeless. "when i die, will i be reborn as a powerful hero? or will i be born in a world where there are no quirks?"

"LIKE HELL I KNOW! I HAVEN'T DIED YET, DEKU! LOOK AT THE OBVIOUS DUMBASS! TCH." bakugo clicked his tongue and walked away. "you're more useless today than any other day. don't you dare show your face to me."

"...wish will be granted." midoriya spoke in the quietest voice he ever had.
