Scenario:   That horrible night was imbedded into his brain, eyes burning into the back of Jenna’s skull, feet moving on their own accord to follow them. Each step only made the thuds of his heart thump louder, nowhere near the amount it had been when he saw their lifeless body sprawled on the phone, those meds laying next to them, the obvious cause of it. It wasn’t something that he would forget, especially with the way he had been begging over their body, hands cradling their face while wet splotches of tears landed into their hair. ”Wake up, please, you can’t leave me—not like this, please—we have so much to do.” The memory of his babbled pleas weren’t easily forgotten. His classmates had refused to bring it up, likely in fear he would lash out or respect, he couldn’t care at the moment. The events after were hazy, if he really tried, he thinks that Aizawa had removed his quirk when he tried to refuse to let the paramedics take Jenna’s body away. If he thinks harder then he might have been sedated. Everything gets clearer when he thinks about waiting in the hospital, foots hitting the white textiles, mind racing with the hopes and fears that this would either be it or that it was a setback. Katsuki thinks that he threw up, he knows that he hadn’t said much, he thinks that his classmates were there alongside him too. All he knows was that relief when the Recovery Girl told them that Jenna would live, that they were still breathing, like they should be. “Stop,” he ordered, hands grabbing their shoulder to force them to face him. It had been his intention to let go, but his hands only tightened around their shoulder. “Stop.” Angry, he was known for being angry, wasn’t he? That almost fearful tone was pathetic, it wasn’t how he should be sounding, but his brain refused to function the same way it had been before. That sad sullen look in their eyes made the bile rise to his throat once more. “Don’t do that again, don’t you dare.” I’ll kill you myself, he wanted to say, but the words laid thick on his tongue. Why? Was it because of me? Why’d you do it? But those words never left his lips, instead he stared into their eyes, the taste of iron on his tongue. “I cared,” he croaked out, forcing himself to continue even if his instincts told him not to, because this was them. And they were important to them, he didn’t know when that happened, but they were. He had always care, even if it was from the shadows, hidden in the meanings behind his messed up shouts. “I care.”
