He couldn’t breathe, the swirls of slime engulfed his vision, hands reaching out clawing at the villain. He could scratch it, but it didn’t do anything. No blood, no screams, and it was filling his lungs. His world faded to black.
Then there were screams. He jolted awake and suddenly there were faces. Why isn’t anyone doing anything?! He thought desperately, trying to break free despite the tightness and pain in his chest. Any gasps for breath were short lived able to get his mouth and nose free for a few precious seconds before the slime overwhelmed him once again. He was scared. He might die.
And then he heard it. That nickname. What a… childish thing… he glanced up breathing difficult, and that’s when he saw a mop of green hair. Quirkless Izuku who had never taken the first step toward anything ever was the only one doing anything, and he proudly mentally mused he knew the nerd had it in him. For all his own harshness, he didn’t want to leave the idiot behind. But Katsuki couldn’t fight his battles forever if he wanted to be a hero. Him throwing the yellow backpack was enough just as he was blacking out again.
The idiot was crying as he tried to break him free while everyone was speechless before- suddenly the slime was blown away, literally. Katsuki fell to his knees, choked, gagged, coughed, anything to return the air to his lungs. He was shaking and the nerd was at his side instantly and for once Katsuki let him comfort harshly wiping at his tears because there’s no way he’d let Izuku see him weak again.
As he was being checked on and Izuku got the lecture of a lifetime, he couldn’t help but smile a bit. Guess he really didn’t need him looking after him after all…
