"Roses are red, Violets are blue, I know you want me dead, but I really like you."

"Uh (Y/n) what kind of Valentines poem is that? The guy you like wants you dead?!" My best friend questions loudly.

I look at the green haired boy and blush. "He wants everyone dead, or at least says he does. I-I like Kacchan." I whisper, looking around to confirm no one was around to hear me.

"Kacchan? You like him?" Izuku asks loudly once again.

I gasp and cover his mouth. "Be quiet Izu. I know he's a bully and he's cocky but...oh I don't know. I'm sorry. I know he'll never like me back. I'm just a quirkless extra like you and everyone else."

Izuku looks down. "I don't mean to say you can't like him. That's not my business. You can like whoever you want."

"I just wish he wasn't so mean to you. He can bully me all he wants but you're my friend. I don't like seeing you upset."

"Don't worry about me. Soon I'll be a hero and I'll be able to protect you from everything."

I laugh softly at his standing declaration.

"You have such a wonderful laugh and smile. I wanna protect those."

I blush more and look down. "I'll just put from anonymous and put it on his desk with the chocolate."

He smiles and nods. "That's probably for the best."

The next day, Valentine's Day, I put the small card and chocolate box on the explosive boy's desk before anyone else got to class.

Izuku walks in and smiles. He waves and I wave back.

We sit in our seats and wait.

Katsuki soon arrives and walks to his desk. He grabs the box first and takes a piece out. He rolls his eyes and eats it.

The card soon peaks his interest and he picks it up.

He sits down as he reads it.

Soon it's engulfed in flames.

My heart shatters as I watch.

I look at Izuku but he was already looking at me.

If you asked me why this upset me so much I wouldn't be able to give you an answer.

He hates quirkless people and I know that. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that he would reject the ridiculous card.

I look down at my notebook and go about a normal day.

A couple people come up and give me chocolate though.

Once the bell rings for the end of the day I was slow to pack my bag.

"Do you wanna meet up later (n/n)?"

"Sure Izu."

"Hey extra!" A familiar voice calls.

In the empty classroom his booming voice sounded louder in my ears.

I look over, along with my best friend.

"What do you want Kacchan?"

The blonde smirks.

This was the beginning of the end. The first time I heard Katsuki Bakugou tell me to jump.

"Maybe you'll have a quirk in the next life."

Tears water my eyes.

I had been used to his bullying but never had he told me to kill myself.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about expressing your love for those you care about.

All he had was hatred for the world.

"Don't listen to him (n/n). We can become strong heroes and we'll show him." Izuku whispers rubbing my back. "Let's go back to my house ok?"

"Actually Izu I have to go home. I totally forgot mom wanted me to watch my brother tonight. Date night remember?"

"Oh yeah! I'm sorry (Y/n). Maybe tomorrow?"

I give him a fake smile and nod. "Of course. I can't wait."

He jogs off as we wave.

I collapse onto the ground and cry softly.

Every insult and physical abuse from Katsu and my parents run through my mind.

I never told Izuku about my parents because I didn't want him to know.

Unfortunately the blonde found out when he was walking past my house.

I used to think he was acting like that because he was trying to motivate me, but then he came out and told me that wasn't the reason.

He hates me and this death threat was the final nail in the coffin.

My coffin.

I quickly take out my notebook and rip out a page. I stuff my book back in my bag and grab a pencil.

All of my feelings and pent up emotions flow out through my pencil. I nearly tore the page a couple times.

By the time I finish the sun is setting.

I stuff my pencil in my bag and stand up.

The note is shoved into my pocket as I wipe my face.

I walk out of the classroom and begin running.

No destination in mind and I didn't care if people looked at me strange.

More tears stream down my face as I bump into a couple people.

As I run through a park I bump into a certain blonde and my note falls out of my pocket.

I don't stop, but increase in speed and my cries get louder.

I only stop when I come to the edge of a cliff. I look over the city as the sun sets beautifully.

A small hiccup escapes and I wipe my tears.

I look down and see a small clearing of flowers.

"Such a beautiful place to die. Take a swan dive off a cliff and die! Maybe I'll have a quirk then." I yell loudly at the sky.

My breathing increases and I cry loudly.

"Look at me now Katsuki Bakugou! I'll jump just for you. You won't even blink at the death of a quirkless nobody like me right? I'll be doing the world a favor."

Taking one last look at the setting sun and breathtaking colors I jump.

Twisting in midair my eyes widen as I see familiar wide red eyes staring at me.

His strong hand grabs my smaller one and with his other grabs a branch sticking out the side of the cliff.

I gasp as the wind is knocked out of me.

He holds me close to his body as it shakes.

I grip his shirt tightly as he climbs back up.

Once we make it back to the top he sets me down, but my face remains buried in his chest.

He doesn't pull me away but he rubs my back.

We both remain silent except for my occasional sniffle.

I don't know what to say, my mind totally went blank.

After the sun was fully below the horizon and all that was left was pretty blues he pulls away and leaves.

I couldn't even produce a noise to stop him.

He saved my life and didn't have a mean comment or cocky response. He just rubbed my back and left.

I grab my bag and go home.

As soon as my head hit my pillow I passed out.

As the days go by, and the more I avoided Izuku the more depressed and closed off I got.

Soon I stopped going to school.

Mom and dad didn't care.

Less bills they'd have to pay.

I stay in my room most of the day and refuse to eat.

My parents were curious but they never came out and asked why I decided to do this.

I wouldn't have an answer either way.

As the months go by and the thinner I got I decided to try ending it again.

No one would care right?

I mean Izuku would but he could move on or use it to grow strong.

I grab a small switchblade from my dad's office and walk to the park.

I arrive at sunset again and sit on the cliff.

My legs sway over the edge.

The flowers are still there, looking even more beautiful than last time.

"I may not fly away by jumping Katsu but at least this will get the job done. Maybe you're right and I'll get a quirk in the next life."

I slide the blade across my thighs, stomach and the space just below my elbow creases.

If I cut my wrists I might die too quickly.

Just the sight of my blood made me dizzy.

"Hey dumbass what are...you..." He trails off looking at me.

I fall backwards and the blade falls out of my hand.

His eyes wide as he runs over.

"Dammit!" He yells using his jacket to put pressure on my thighs. He quickly calls an ambulance then after puts pressure on my stomach.

I watch with blurry vision.

He growls, probably frustrated that he couldn't cover my arms. "How could you do this (Y/n)?!" He yells a foot away from my face. "I thought after saving you you'd have the common sense to live. I thought you'd ignore my words and keep fighting."

I try lifting my shaking hand but it quickly falls.

"It's your birthday isn't it? I refuse to let you die on your birthday." Katsuki growls and looks around.

Soon he moves his body so that he's sitting on my stomach, his legs are covering my thighs and his hands are squeezing my arms.

Tears from his breathtaking red eyes fall onto my cheek.

My own tears stream down and run over my ears.

"Katsu," I manage to whisper.

"Don't talk (Y/n)!" He yells again.

I whimper at his weight shifting when he yells. "You said my name," I whisper. "Twice," I add.

His mouth closes and he looks away.

Soon some paramedics come and bandage me up.

My vision fades to black, but I could feel the blonde squeeze my hand.

The sound of beeping echoes in my ears.

A warmth covers my body.

Slowly I flutter my eyes open and see a uniform hospital room.

Why aren't I dead? I think to myself.

I look around with only my eyes.

My body isn't ready to move.

Flowers and stuffies surround the room.

The sound of a door creaking catches my attention so I look over.

There stands the familiar blonde, but he looks older.

"You're finally awake." He whispers. He sets some flowers in an empty space on the table. "Damn Deku sure went all out these last few years."

Years?! Did he say years?!

"You've been slacking off for three years now. The doctor told me you slipped into a coma during surgery."

My head hurt from that information.

"I was worried you'd let go of your dreams and will to live. I wanted to see you be a quirkless hero."

I manage a small growl. "If you wanted that then why did you-" I get cut off with a coughing fit.

"I lied to you. I wanted you to get stronger because I... I really liked you. Even though you were quirkless you still wanted to help anyone you could. Deku wants to be #1, but you were content just being able to save someone. When I got that note and chocolate I secretly hoped it was from you. It was in your handwriting. But I didn't like that you thought I hated you."

I listen to him ramble like Izuku and manage a small smile. "You liked me?"

"I still do," he yells quickly.

My eyes widen in surprise.

"I want you to live and be my reason to be #1." He walks over and sits on the bed with me. He takes my hand and kisses my knuckles.

This is so strange and different than the Kacchan I knew.

He must've grown up in those three years.

"Will you please be mine?" He asks quietly. "I know it's a lot to process and I'm probably crazy for asking this of you."

"Then I'm just as crazy because I want to be yours."

He smiles and kisses me gently. "I've wanted to do that for so long."

A couple days later they release me and I start living with Katsuki.

I enroll in UA and Nezu took a liking to me.

The 1-A class nearly keels over from shock the first time I kiss Katsuki in front of them.

It was one of those kiss and dip.

One hand on my back and the other on my ass.

Izuku was thrilled to see me alive and I was shocked to hear he had a quirk.

I put two and two together right away, though I also pressured All Might into confessing that much.

My blonde boyfriend made sure to keep me close and in high spirits.

I did my best to give him support and made sure to deflate his ego when it got too big.

A few tears and the recollection of both Valentine's Day and my birthday sure did the trick.

Overall I noticed how much he has grown and I couldn't be more proud to be his.

I kiss his cheek and he holds me close as we lay in bed.

"I'm glad I caught you." He whispers.

"And I'm glad you sat on me." I whisper back.

He smiles gently and we both fall asleep.
