Downfall: Part 2 (Nobody)
"Alright everyone sit down." Mr. Aizawa told everyone as he got the movie in.
"I don't understand why we have to do this." Bakugo grouched.
"Oh come on Bakugo, there's nothing wrong with watching a movie." Todoroki said. I laughed as they started arguing, and eventually they shut up for the movie.
We were about halfway through the movie when I looked around at everyone. I wanted to take their faces in.
A few like Bakugo were aggravated that they had to be here right now. While others were completely bored out of their minds. Me also being one of them.
This is not what I wanted.
I looked passed everyone and out one of the windows in the commons room. It was absolutely down pouring outside.
I got up and walked towards the window stepping over people as needed.
I walked up to the window and looked out at the open lawn. There was at least three different lake puddles outside, and the sidewalks looked more like sandbars.
What fun.
"Y/n are you alright?" Mr. Aizawa asked me. But I didn't answer him. I just stared out at the water constantly being disrupted by the new water droplets coming down. "Y/n?"
I turned and looked to see everyone staring at me. They had stopped the movie.
I smiled before walking towards the front door. When I was a couple of feet away I kicked my shoes off, along with my socks, and took my jacket off.
I threw them to the ground and ran outside.
I could hear everyone from my class calling out for me, wondering what I was doing. I was doing the same thing.
I stepped down the steps and out into the wide open rain. The water on the ground easily covered my feet and I walked out for a bit with my arms out side, staring up at the sky.
I spun around in a couple of circles and took in the feeling of the rain in my skin.
It was cold. But I had never felt something so heart warming.
I stood still and let the rain complete soak me, head to toe. I smiled and couldn't help but laugh. I spun around in circles and jumped in a giant puddle.
I heard some laughter behind me and saw Denki, Tsuyu, Mina, Ojiro, Uraraka pulling on Iida and Midoriya, and Kirishima pulling Bakugo to come join me in the rain. We started jumping and splashing around with me. And it only took a minute before the rest of the class came running out to us.
Water was being splashed everywhere. I stopped and took in the people around me.
The boys were tackling or wrestling each other into the lakes, while some of the girls were doing some Tiktok dance's that was causing a lot of splash. Either way the water forcefully being thrown into the air, was so beautiful.
This is what I wanted.
Smiling happy faces. Laughter. Joy.
Some things that a lot of us didn't know we needed since joining UA. Since we've joined UA, we've been so busy with tests, pulling all nighters, fighting villains, training . . . . . and treatments.
We've forgotten what it's like to be a kid. And that's what we are. Kids.
I'm a kid. And wont even get to see graduation. And that's okay.
I laid down right where I was on the sidewalk and looked back up at the sky. Listening to the sound of laughter all around me. The feeling of the sky raining down on me was so calming, so peaceful.
All of a sudden the laughter started dying down, and I looked around me to see everyone was laying down with me. Wherever they were, they laid down on the ground and did what I was doing.
This is what I wanted.
The feeling of peace flowing through all of us all at once.
I smiled and closed my eyes.
"I'd rather be a lover than a fighter!" I sang out. And I listened to the sound of silence, as everyone wanted to hear what I had to say. "Cause all my life I've been fighting!"
"Never felt the feeling of comfort~!" Jirou sang out with me.
"All this time I've been hiding!" We sang together, and a few others joined in at the last second as they recognized the song. (Silence by Marshmello) I sang along with them, and eventually we were all singing it together.
I took a moment to look around at everyone one last time. Everyone laid with their eyes closed singing along to the song. And I think it fit us well as a whole.
I smiled and let out a hard breath. Despite the rain falling on my face I could feel tears coming to my eyes. This is why my body wouldn't let me cry, it wanted to wait until I had a better reason to cry.
I closed my eyes and took in the smell of the rain. The sound of my friends . . . no, family. The sound of my family singing their hearts out, like there's no worry in the world. I smiled at the peace.
I felt the rain stop, but the sound of it hitting the ground around me didn't stop. Opening my eyes slowly I saw Mr. Aizawa bent over looking down at me. I smiled up at him.
"Thank you for the best year of my life." I told him. Just quiet enough no one around us would hear. "Goodbye Mr. Aizawa."
"Goodbye, y/n." He said before stepping back. Letting the rain fall on me again, I stared up at the sky. I released a breath, and I could feel my body relaxing. Slowing down. Shutting down.
I didn't focus on it though. I only focused on the sound of my friends around me.
Such lovely music. Almost like angel's singing.
This is what I wanted.

POV: Nobody
Aizawa watched his sick student's head fall to the side, as the rest of his children sang their hearts out. He took in a sharp breath and squeezed his eyes shut. Desperate to not let his students see him cry.
Even though his tears would be hidden by the rain.
Y/n had been the strong one in the last year. Taking on and assisting with any anger, anxiety, or depression issues that anyone had to offer. Y/n was the one to stay up all night with their friends when they needed it. Sneaking out to make countless memories, ever chance they got.
Spending hours in the kitchen to make everyone their favorite meals for no reason. Or becoming a tutor and spending days studying subjects to assist the others with classes and tests.
Putting themselves to the side, to take the time they had left to make other's day's better.
And now it was his turn to take that role. But he wouldn't be alone. Others will see the role y/n played, and they too will step in.
Everyone laughed as they finished sing the song that set y/n free. Free of pain and sickness.
Y/n would never have admitted it, but they had been in server pain for the last couple weeks of their life. That was what lead them to seeing their time was running short.
Aizawa took a breath in before he stepped forward and kneeled down beside y/n. He picked them up into his arms, y/n completely limp.
"Mr. Aizawa, what's going on?" Kirishima asked as he sat up, seeing what he was doing. After their teacher didn't say anything, they all sat up to see what was happening.
"Is y/n alright?" Iida asked as they watched Aizawa stand up.
"Y/n is dead." He told them. Y/n didn't want this to be his job. Y/n would have given anything for these words to never be said by him. Not like this.
"What?" Mina asked as she laughed. "How could they be dead? Y/n was just singing."
Aizawa then explained that y/n had been dealing with the pain of cancer, for a year. And no one said a word. He explained how they wanted one last good time, good day, with their family.
And that's what they got.
Aizawa turned and walked into the dorm building with y/n's body, and went to make some phone calls for them to be collected by their relatives.
But no one, could get themselves to move from where they were seated on the ground. Eventually they all laid back down in the rain, and laid in silence.
They had all lost a very dear friend, that they would never get to hear from again. That they will never get the chance to fight against again in training. That they will never get to cook along side with for dinner, or Sunday morning breakfast again. That they will never get to do anything with again.
How much they each wish they could reverse time. Go back and say things differently. Do things differently. Make it more about y/n, then themselves.
But y/n wouldn't have had it any other way. Every moment spent with each of their classmates, was time well spent.
After this day they will push themselves harder, and always keep in mind that there are others that need help more then them at times.
That staying silent about mental health, isn't restricted to just a single person.
It will take time. It will be hard. But they will grow.
But what y/n didn't know, was that they were to be cremated. And y/n's parents were willing to share the ash's.
At the end of that year, Class 1-A would be gifted necklaces with y/n's ash's in them. And without a clue, they would never be taken off.
Y/n would go on to see graduation. And one by one would walk across that stage as well.
Y/n would go on to partying that night with the rest of their classmates.
And y/n would go on to saving people, and becoming a hero along side them.
Providing the support and the reminder that there are people waiting for them somewhere else.
A reminder that they need to give themselves time to heal and breath. That they come first, and being a hero comes second.
That was the lesson that y/n spent their last year teaching. Despite the fact that they didn't listen to their own lesson.
But that's okay, it wasn't meant for them.
Without realizing it, y/n had become the greatest hero to Class 1-A.
But the level of heroic y/n possessed, would never be reached by All Might, or Endeavor, or even the new generation.
But that's okay.
That is what they wanted.
