If You Only Knew

Depend on You

Katsumi POV-

"You should really consider therapy." Deku said. This is the first time we've had dinner together in months and I really didn't want this to be the conversation we had. "Yeah, whatever." I shoved some more rice in my mouth. "Can you please actually listen?"

"Your father's right, you can't keep ignoring this forever."

"I know. I know. But can we just drop it for now? Can we just be a normal family for once?" I said, looking down at my food. I don't even know why I said it, we weren't a normal family to begin with, none of us know how. My grandma is a raging she-bitch and my grandfather is just a scaredy cat, Deku didn't have a dad for most of his life, Kanna was raised by villains, and then there's me- do I even need to say anything?

Kanna nodded. "Yeah, Katsumi's right."

It's annoying, I just want peace. I want peace in my head and in the life that I'm living. All this conflict and shit is annoying.

"Let's just talk about something else."

"Well you won't talk to us about your issues regardless. It's what we have to do to try and help you." Deku sighed, putting his chopsticks down. "Look at me."

Here comes another stupid lecture. I looked up at him despite knowing what was coming. "We love you. Okay? But you're a danger to yourself. We just want to make sure you're safe. This world is dangerous. No matter how much people like me grow in power, the villains don't fall far behind. On top of that, even if this was a normal world where no one had quirks or anything, this is still concerning. Acting almost entirely on sudden impulses can get you into some serious trouble. I don't know if I phrased that right at all, but what I'm trying to say is that I still wanna have a daughter after a few years you know? I'd much rather not have to visit your grave too."

I stared at him for a few seconds. "Damn, it's really that bad?"

"Fuck yes it is!"

Deku turned to Katsuki. "Kacchan, calm-"

"No. I've had enough,"

Ohhhhh shit.

"Katsumi, it is that fucking bad. You can't keep running from your issues. You know how stressful it is trying to figure out how to keep your child from getting herself KILLED every other week when she decides to run off to go find herself or whatever the fuck you were doing?!

Kanna whimpered, scooting away from Katsuki.

"Kacchan..."

"Shut up, I'm not done."

I opened my mouth to speak, but quickly shut it. I was nervous, really nervous, I swear if I could run I would.

"It's terrifying when I don't know you're safe, you should know this by now. How do you expect me to be a good father to you when you just run from everything and push me away?!"

I dropped my chopsticks and just stared at him. I was shaking, like- actually shaking. I've heard him yell before, I've heard him say some fucked up shit before, but for some reason it cut deep, super deep. I couldn't leave, it'd only prove him right... but do I really want to prove him wrong? Is he actually right?

No. No. He has no idea what he's talking about. I don't run from my problems. I don't push people away. I'm not my mother.

"Honestly, you need help. Not just for your sake but for-"

"Fuck you!" I stood up, I wasn't gonna let him try and break me. Not today.

Deku stood up as well. "Both of you need to calm down! We could be having a civil conversation if-"
