The idea for this chapter came from one of the stories by yeouki (ps go check them out I'm loving reading their stories)

Bakugo POV

❓Never mind just forget it

💥No what message asshole

❓The one on the wall at school. The one you wrote under your number

💥Oh that... I was just in a bad mood and I couldn't get my number off the wall

❓Oh so you weren't serious? Okay just forget I messaged

💥Wait who even are you?

❓Nobody important

💥Your name asshat what is it?

❓I would prefer to not tell you so you don't think any less of me than you already do

💥You considered getting y'know professional help

❓Why should I? I want to die and I was hoping you could help me

💥Why would I do that? Wait why do you wanna die?

❓Because I'm just a pain to everyone. Nobody really needs me not even me so why should I carry on?

💥Because I'm sure someone out there actually does need you... you asked your friends or spoken to them about how you're feeling?

❓No but I don't want to bother them with my problems. I'm sorry I had to bother you with them

💥Wait... you said you saw my number at school... do I know you?

❓Yeah

💥Who are you? Please tell me... I wanna help you

I wasn't sure why I wanted to help this person but I had to hope they would keep messaging me.

❓Like I said I'm nobody important

💥Bullshit. Everyone is important. Don't you dare think you're not

Something seemed familiar about the way this person was talking

❓You don't even know who I am though... how can you possibly know that?

💥Because I just do. Stop being an asshole and tell me who you are? Are we in the same year? Are you in my class?

They didn't answer before I fell asleep. When I woke up the next day I checked my phone. Nothing I had to find out if they were still alive. Maybe I could save them.

💥Hey idiot you still here

❓Unfortunately

💥Good

❓Why is that good?

💥Because... I've decided to make it my personal mission to get you to change your mind

❓Please don't I already know that I don't deserve to still be here

💥And I'm telling you that I don't believe you... challenge accepted

❓If you knew who I was you wouldn't say that

💥Nah I'm pretty sure I would...unless you're Deku

❓I'm not Midoryia

'So you are in my class'

I deleted that before I sent it

💥I see you know him

I tried to think, this was someone at school. Someone who knew Deku. Probably not a close friend but a friend nevertheless.

💥You still insisting on not telling me who you are?

❓Yeah definitely not telling you who I am. You'll only laugh at me anyways

💥Fine whatever I can figure it out on my own

❓I hope you don't figure it out.

💥Whatever

💥Why you wanna die anyway?

❓Just had enough of not being good enough for anyone

💥What makes you think that?

I was officially curious. Who was this texting me and why did I feel the need to protect them.

❓My partner left me because I'm not worth his time. My family don't really notice when I'm not around. My dad doesn't even like me... stuff like that

💥He didn't actually say that to you though right?

❓No but he told a friend that was why he left and I overheard him saying it

💥What an asshole

Whoever it was didnt answer. I got ready for the day before sending another text

💥I know I probably wont get an answer but are you by any chance in my class?

I had to ask

❓If I tell you that you'll figure it out

Damn... they were smart... it could have been a number of people. I wanted to pry some more but instead I sent

💥Okay fine don't tell me. Just... keep texting me... I wanna make sure you're okay

💥And don't tell anyone about this

💥If anyone finds out I'm being nice to you I'll find you and break your kneecaps

❓I won't tell anyone

💥Good now how are you feeling today?

❓Still wanna die but talking to you actually helps

So I was helping without even doing much... interesting.
