Dark Reflections
Part 28
I stood there, frozen in time, as the weight of my words hung in the air. Bakugo's and Izuku's faces were etched with worry and concern, their eyes filled with a mix of fear and compassion. I could see the understanding in their eyes, the knowledge that I was struggling with something deep and dark. "I...I even saw me killing myself," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. "Me hanging myself and even stabbing myself." The words felt like poison on my lips, and I couldn't help but cry again. The tears streamed down my face as I shook my head, feeling like I was losing myself. Bakugo's face paled, and Izuku's eyes widened in shock. They had never heard me talk like this before, and they didn't know how to react. Bakugo's arms tightened around me, holding me close as Izuku wrapped his own arms around us, forming a tight circle of support. "Katsuki, no," Izuku whispered, his voice shaking with emotion. "That's not going to happen. You're not going to hurt yourself. We're here for you, we'll help you through this." But I knew that it was a possibility, that it was a reflection of the darkness that lurked within me. I felt like I was drowning in my own fears, suffocating under the weight of my own doubts. Bakugo's voice was low and rough, but it was filled with conviction. "We're not going to let that happen, Katsuki. We're going to be here for you, every step of the way. You're not alone in this." I cried harder, feeling like I was breaking down, like I was shattering into a million pieces. But in that moment, I knew that I was not alone. I had Bakugo and Izuku, and they would help me through this dark time. As we stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, I felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, I could overcome this darkness. Maybe I could learn to control my powers, to control my fears. Maybe I could learn to be strong, to be brave. But for now, I just cried, letting the tears wash away my fears, my doubts, and my pain. I let Bakugo and Izuku hold me, support me, and love me. And in that moment, I knew that I was not alone, that I had them to lean on.
