Chapter 3. The Abandoned Apartment...Check...

(Y/N)'s pov-

"No... it can't be." I stood in shock as I start to tear up. The room was still silent and everyone just stood there looking down with an upset face. I start to cry and Kiri rushed over to comfort me. "Don't worry about that, (Y/N).." he hugged me and started to pet my head. "I'm sure he is still alive and fine. You should try and enjoy yourself and forget about it."

How am I supposed to forget about my friend disappearing? Why should I enjoy myself when Deku could be out there in danger? I wanted to argue a point, but I just nodded and wiped my tears. For the rest of the night, I was silent and introverted while everyone else enjoyed themselves. I sat in the corner most of the reunion worrying about Deku, wondering if he is okay.

The reunion ended and Kiri and I walked home in silence till he spoke.

Kirishima's pov-

Most of the walk home was silent. I wish I had something better to say to comfort them than back at the reunion. God, I can't stand seeing my friend upset. What do I say? My mind was all over the place trying to find something to say.

"I... He's strong, (Y/N). I'm sure if he is still alive he's fine." It fell silent again. Shit! That wasn't even remotely comforting. What do I do? I felt something touch my arm when I was in the train of thought, when I looked over, I saw (Y/N) hugging my arm, about to cry again.

"Thank you for trying to comfort me.." (Y/N)'s voice was trembling, I couldn't help but break down. "I'm sorry.." I say trying to hide my tears. "What are you apologizing for? It isn't your fault he's gone." I felt like it was like I could've saved him..but now he's gone. Midoriya didn't deserve to be missing, he doesn't deserve to suffer, nor (Y/N). We both dried our tears and kept walking in silence till we got to the house, when we got there we just went to our rooms and slept.

(Y/N)'s pov-

It was the next morning and I could barely sleep last night. Most of the night I cried and thought about how I could have done something to stay here. No, I need to stop with the could've would've thoughts. He's gone and I can either be gloomy for the rest of my life or try and find him. As Kiri said, he's strong, he might be waiting for someone to help him.

I'll start searching when Kiri goes to bed tonight. I don't want him to worry about me and I certainly don't want to keep him up to search for a person that went missing 5 years ago. I know deep down that he is still out there, needing help. Most of the day I was planning on spots to search at, most of them were abandoned buildings. It was finally nightfall and Kiri and I exchanged goodnights and went to our separate rooms.

After about an hour, I snuck out of my room to the exit. I carefully exited making sure he didn't wake up. I carried a bag just in case I ran into a criminal on my search. The first stop was an abandoned apartment, it's said that it has an underground area and I decided to check it out.

I arrived at the building and it was huge, it was like a skyscraper. I went in and instantly met with an old rusty smell, it was terrible. I searched the whole building to find no Izuku to be seen, as soon as I finished searching I felt my chest get heavy..like someone was watching me. I brushed it off thinking nothing of it and checked the building again, the feeling didn't go away. I made sure that I checked every crevasse in the apartment building twice before leaving.

The first building took a while to search, I felt so relieved as I smelled the fresh air outside. When I exited, the feeling disappeared. I guess it was nothing after all.

I checked the time on my phone to see it was 3:27 a.m. "I should get back to the house and search more tomorrow night," I thought to myself. I rushed back to the house and quietly entered not trying to wake Kiri. I went to my room successfully not getting caught. I sat my stuff down and went to sleep almost instantly.

"First night, the abandoned apartment.. check..." I mumbled as I drifted off.

Authors note- I was writing Kirishima's pov and thought, "Dang it this is turning into a Kiri x reader story, I need to stop this." Sorry 'bout that, I simp for him too much (Cute Lil shark boi eeeeeek my heart can't take this), I should make a Kiri x reader story tho. 🤷‍♂️ Well, things are gonna get better so stay tuned in this 'Totally a Vill. Deku x reader story'. Okay, I'm just rambling, Cya in the next post, weirdos.
