A/N 🎄 Fourth day of Christmas 💘
My heart is pounding. I can't move my legs at all but I can still reach up but my hand only finds the smooth flesh of my skin under the worn fabric of my clothes. Why?
*Gasp* *Cough*
My breathing is shuddering, short, uneven, shallow. Why? Pain radiated through me again this time though I dropped to my knees, easily bruising them but I can't even pay any attention to that. Why is it so hot? I feel like I'm being baked alive and I'm covered in sweat. What the hell happened? It's the middle of winter!
No, I need to calm down. I'm inside the gym so I need to think. Am I near the sauna maybe? I didn't think so but if I am, this is dangerous. The heat shouldn't be leaking out like this!
"Kacchan?" I looked up to see Deku standing in the doorway with a towel around his neck but he looked fine. "Oh, you must have run into Sauna-san at reception. But that's odd, she doesn't usually use her quirk unless you're ready and will be laying down," he kept chatting away but I can barely keep my eyes open, forget listening. I could feel myself gasping for air but I just don't have the energy to actually say anything. What the fuck is he even talking about? I didn't agree to let anyone use their quirk on me! Did I?
At this point I'm sitting against the wall barely holding onto a guardrail and when I lean my head against the cool surface he finally seemed to understand that I wasn't okay.
"Kacchan?" He asked and I saw him hesitate while reaching for me but my body feels like lead, far too heavy to move if I could help it. Then the most amazing thing happened. He touched me. The coolness against my cheek helped me breathe and when I felt him starting to pull away I grabbed him. I don't even remember doing it, only that the thought of him pulling away and leaving me to bake was excruciating.
"Hey, it's okay. Everything's going to be okay," he whispered and I barely nodded but I didn't let him go. "I'll call headquarters, I'm not going anywhere," he added but I just closed my eyes not willing to let him go but he didn't make me either. I could hear his sweet voice even if I couldn't focus enough on it to actually listen to what he was saying, I at least knew he was there.
The heat radiated through me, my heart feels like it's barely keeping up and my lungs feel like they are going to explode thanks to the far too hot air inside of them. No matter how fast I breathe the air is just cooking me so I try to slow down instead. That only made it worse. My gasping was sharp even to my ears, the way they grated on my nerves would have been maddening if not for the fact that it was me I probably would have hit someone.
"Kacchan?" I forced my eyes open to see the gym nurse looking at me horrified with Deku gently smiling at me. "Kacchan, the nurse told me that Sauna-san isn't here today. Do you remember anyone using their quirk on you?" I forced myself to shake my head no and he frowned. "Alright, I need to take you to the hospital then. Will it be okay to skip your coat and things?" This time I nodded and that made him frown even more.
He kneeled beside me and took his hand away making me gasp at the pain that soon followed only to sigh out in relief when he picked me up again. One arm behind my back and the other behind my legs but his arms were bare and even though only my legs were bare his cool relief hit hard. I can breathe.
I can really fucking breathe! I would have snapped at him if I wasn't so exhausted. I did however let out a groan and leaned my head on his shoulder only to find more relief. My eyes closed, I just couldn't focus anymore. How did this happen? What is wrong with me? Why did it have to be Deku that found me?
***
My eyes snapped open while my body fought me, refusing to let me breathe at all. My chest is tight, it feels heavy, all of me feels heavy. What the fuck? No wait, I must have fallen asleep but why did I wake up like that? Air! No, I still can't breathe. The lights are bright and I know it's doctors and nurses surrounding me but still I can't focus on any of them at all. Deku. Where is Deku? He brought me here didn't he? He must have been doing something to ease this pain, this heat. Fuck, I feel like I'm melting.
"Deku?" I was forcing it out, my voice was hoarse and frankly I could barely hear it at all and considering I'm the one that was talking that doesn't bode well for me.
"Kacchan? It's okay, I brought you to the hospital. That's all," Deku's voice filled my ears and then I felt his cool hands pushing me back, just one finger was on my bare skin, by my collarbone and yet at least now I can breathe.
I'm not fucking stupid, the only time I can breathe is when Deku is touching me? There isn't anything medically wrong with me. I must have been hit with an annoying quirk but when and what exactly does it do? I had grabbed Deku's hand and anyone that doesn't know any better would probably think we are lovers or something because I'm not letting him go.
But then again even now I am wheezing.
"What happened?" Some random extra was asking but I couldn't even motion it out thanks to my wheezing. Fuck, just fuck.
"I just found him on the floor like this. He only seemed to calm down enough to breathe after being touched but I have no idea what is actually going on or how," Deku answered and I was able to barely nod at a few questions and thanks to growing up with Deku, he was able to answer most of my paperwork questions and called my hag for the few questions he didn't know the answer for.
"I'm sorry Aunty but can I put you on speakerphone? You're talking a little too fast and Kacchan keeps trying to crush my hand so it's a little hard to-" he paused and even I could hear my hag cackling even though he hadn't put her on speaker yet. Sometimes she is just a bitch.
"Aunty you're on speaker," Deku sighed, probably already smiling an awkward apology to either me or the doctors. The hag, true to form, made me want to explode something and sadly, I didn't let go of Deku's hand first.
"Kacchan, please I'm innocent. I swear," I could hear him apologizing anyway but the moment he was free of my grip my whole body seized, refusing to let me take even a single breath of air until he grabbed me again. Should I be grateful that I didn't have a seizure? Because right now it's really fucking hard to think about when I stop breathing anytime I'm not touching Deku. I mean what kind of fucked up quirk is this?
"It seems to be an effect of a quirk," some pompous ass extra started talking and if I could actually move right now I think I would have punched him.
"Right," the way Deku said that so slowly was actually pretty funny and I even heard a few nurses giggle only for someone to clear their throat and make them stop. "I kind of figured that, we are pro heroes after all and it's pretty much an everyday occurrence for someone to use their quirk on us, either on accident or intentional," it was pretty clear that Deku was trying to help the pompous ass save face but I heard another nurse giggling again and someone clearing their throat again. Seriously? Just take them out of the room for fucks sake!
"Quite right, anyway we'll know a little more after the blood test comes back in about an hour," Pompous ass awkwardly chuckled. I groaned while glaring at the fucker only to see him take a step backwards. I'm not known as Mr. Personality like a certain golden boy currently holding my hand. Nope. And I want to keep it that way.
"Izuku? Tell my brat that I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. I need to get pictures of him holding your hand after all," my hag cackled. Bitch. She is being a bitch and why? I can't think of anything that I've done to piss her off recently so just why?
"Aunty! Please, he can still use his quirk and it hurts," Deku whined and I tried to calm myself. After all, he is only holding my hand so I can breathe. Without him I would literally stop breathing.
Do I even have a closet to hide in after this?
…
Why do I get the feeling that this is only the beginning? From what I know, unless the person affected by the quirk is being talked about, it doesn't matter who the quirk interacts with. So in theory anyone should be able to hold my hand. Not just Deku. Unless.
Well fuck. This quirk is going to out me, isn't it? Those kinds of quirks are almost always sexual in nature. I started setting off small explosions with my other hand. No wonder the quack was side eyeing us and our hands. I'll sue the fucker. Spread shit around and fucking watch me.
"Kacchan? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? I'm sorry, I thought I was paying attention," Deku immediately apologized and I glared at him, making him flinch back. Right, Deku is afraid of me. Well at the very least very uncomfortable. Of course he wouldn't ever go out with me. It's silly of me to ever think… No. Stop. I'm Bakugo Katsuki, I don't dwell on what ifs or only ifs, it's toxic and just hurts me for no fucking reason.
My hag showed up with Dad, as usual she makes me want to claw my eyes out but what can I actually do? I can't even open my mouth to say anything.
"Mr. Deku? Could I have you get on the bed and hold Mr. Dynamight? I want to see if more bodily contact could help him more or not," the pompous ass directed and I saw him looking at my parents for help.
"It's okay Izuku, I'll pop him in the back of the head if he tries to attack you," my hag smiled brightly at him and I just growled, no I did not groan and I felt Deku flinch at the sound.
"I'm sorry Kacchan, just bare with me," he pleaded before crawling onto the bed. It didn't take long before his front was pressed against my back and I felt all the muscles relax, allowing me to move.
"Hag, what the fuck is your problem?" I snapped at her, ignoring Deku for the moment and Dad breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least you're not mute. I don't know what I would have done if you went silent," he patted his chest in relief and everyone was staring at him. "What? He is my precious baby," he shrugged when he finally noticed.
"Dad!" I groaned and my hag and he just laughed at my embarrassment.
"Can I let go now?" Deku asked the doctor and he motioned for him to go ahead and I was right back where I started. Not moving and not breathing because he let me go all the way and didn't even leave a hand on me.
"Looks like you'll have to keep holding him for the time being. He could suffocate if you don't," the doctor mused as if I weren't suffocating right now.
"What? Oh no!" Deku quickly grabbed me again before climbing back on the bed again to hold me.
"When this is over I'm going to strangle you," I hissed at him and he let out a sigh, as if he didn't already know how pissed I was.
*BAM*
I saw stars, "Katsuki! He is helping you! You ungrateful brat! Izuku has done nothing but help you every time you turn around. I didn't raise a good for nothing-," I tuned out the hag and glared at Deku who looked depressed as hell. Not much I can do about that though.
"End result you don't know shit about shit until maybe the blood test comes back with something? Even though most quirks don't show up with blood tests. Is that about fucking right?" I glared at the pompous ass who stuttered for a while before agreeing.
"Then I'm going home, Deku until this shit wears off, you're coming with me," I narrowed my eyes at him but he just sighed and nodded before I pulled out my phone and called headquarters to update them. End result, I'm on quirk leave and Deku is now assigned to me. They can't just let the number five hero die when the number seven hero can prevent it, now can they? By the time I hung up I knew that they were all groaning and scrambling to cover our shifts but it was my day off and I doubt that Deku would have been at the gym if he had to work tonight so there was at least that. I bulldozed my way through the paperwork, Deku hugging me from behind and I was finally released but not before Deku was given a large bottle of burn cream. Like I'm going to mutilate my own fucking lungs on purpose? Fuck that!
My hag tried to argue, she lost, while my dad encouraged Deku not to take me too seriously. Seriously, what do my own parents think of me? I mean really? It was easier and more convenient for Deku to just use his quirk to get to my apartment than to take the bus at least with him being forced to hold me. We stopped at his place first for him to pack an overnight bag and when I was finally home I crashed on my couch. As much as I wanted to go to bed, I needed a shower first. I never got one at the gym thanks to all this bullshit. I sent a few text messages and tossed my phone, not caring one way or the other if Deku saw them or not.
"Deku," I growled and he looked up. "I need a shower and if you fucking look I will," I repressed my desire to scream at him but a small explosion popped in my hands instead.
"I wouldn't have looked," he sighed, already looking away. "What do you think of me to even-," he trailed off before sighing again and just shaking his head. Contrary to his reaction my shower was as fast as humanly possible. The fact I could barely breathe even with one hand on my shoulder was insane but I powered through it anyway.
When I was safely dressed I was gasping for air in his arms when my doorbell rang. I picked up my phone to see the messages I sent earlier.
Dynamight: I was hit with a quirk. Bring liquor. Now.
Shitty Hair: Not beer? No offense but you don't handle hard stuff so great.
Dynamight: Liquor. The harder the better.
Shitty Hair: That's what he said. 😏
Dynamight: A lot.
Shitty Hair: How much is a lot?
Dynamight: More.
Shitty Hair: I'm calling everyone.
Why did he have to be so extra? I shake my head and start texting again.
Dynamight: If that's you just come inside. I'm stuck.
Shitty Hair: why didn't you say that before? I would have unstuck you before getting the booze!
Dynamight: No I was hit with a quirk dumbass. Just. Just come inside. Deku is here.
Shitty Hair: Oh. Maybe I shouldn't have texted everyone?
Dynamight: Too late now. 😒 Just give me a drink before I do something stupid.
I put my phone down but I could easily see that Deku made a point not to look while I was texting so at least there was that. They, as in the whole fucking Baku squad, came in and they were each holding at least two bottles. Raccoon Eyes and Dunce Face however were holding bags. Sometimes I love my friends.
"Bakubabe! What kind of quirk has you feeling so down?" They all greeted Deku but pretended that me sitting in his lap was totally normal and pretended not to even notice. Thank All Might I warned them.
"Dude, I ordered pizza! I made sure to get your hazard pizza and normal ones for us," Dunce Face smiled and Tape Dispenser rolled his eyes.
"Dude, pineapple on pizza is not normal," he frowned.
"Just because you're wrong doesn't mean I'm going to fight your boring cheese pizza," Dunce Face shot back at him and they continued to bicker until everyone had a glass in front of them and I handed Deku a shot glass.
"Two penalty shots for not being invited," I grumbled but he looked at me confused. He still took the glass and downed the liquid fire with barely a breath between them before one of my idiots handed him a glass of his own.
"I'm sure Bakubabe is just sore about the quirk he was hit with," Raccoon Eyes tried to reassure him.
"Yeah, Kacchan is stuck with me touching him until it wears off. We all know how much he hates me," he took another large drink while my idiots shot looks at each other. Yeah, they know so much about how much I hate him touching me. How it makes all my nerve endings scream and beg for more with only the lightest brush of him running by me. How my heart sinks any time I'm in the same room with him because he will always choose someone else, anyone else, than me. Deku must be the only one in the apartment that doesn't know.
*Cough*Cough*Cough*
Shitty Hair cleared his throat and they quickly changed the subject. Alcohol flowed faster than water and it wasn't long before I sat back against Deku willingly and cuddled into him. His intoxicated giggles in my ear only warmed my whole body. How is he so cute all the time? Just how.
"That's enough for you," Shitty Hair took my glass away and I pouted at him. "So how long are you going to keep doing this to yourself?" He glared at me and I saw the others avoid eye contact.
"What do you mean?" I asked, a bit dizzy from the drinks and they all groaned.
"You give him enough to drink that you both end up almost passing out," Tape Dispenser held up a finger.
"Then one of you 'helps' the other to bed," Raccoon Eyes used finger quotations while talking.
"Then you come crying back to us when you wake up naked and recently fucked so hard you can barely stand," Dunce Face added.
"Then we need to somehow help you build yourself up again until somehow it happens again. Bro, this has been happening since we've been old enough to drink," Shitty Hair groaned but I was looking back to see if Deku actually heard any of it.
"What am I supposed to do? Pretend that I wasn't a complete asshole to him growing up and confess properly? It's already hard enough seeing him with Icyhot everyday. How am I supposed to handle him rejecting me?" I caved once I decided that Deku had already passed out and turned back to my friends.
"I just want him so much and at least this way I can pretend that he actually wants me too," I grumbled.
"Bro, if it wasn't for the fact that you get just as wasted, that would be called rape. Besides, what good is it if you can't even remember doing it?" Kirishima looked at me like I was crazy and I probably am if I'm honest with myself.
"He leaves marks, it's not so bad when I see them for a week after the fact," I mumbled before squeaking at the pressure around my waist.
"You should have told me. I wouldn't have said no," his hot breath tickled my ear before I felt something wet just under it. "I don't need a drink to say yes," he added and I squeaked again, my defenses completely gone from dropping my guard, why did I think he was asleep? He picked me up before pausing and looking back at my friend's who were staring but not saying anything.
"You might want to leave, I don't plan to keep quiet," he didn't even wait for them to respond before walking towards my bedroom door.
"Now let's see what you were trying to hide from me," he tossed me on the bed but before the tightness in my chest could return he was naked and pulling my clothes off too.
What did I get myself into?
***
"Urg, what happened last night?" I woke up groaning and tried to move only to hiss at the discomfort in my lower back. Fuck, I drank too much again. Now I have to figure out how to sneak out when it's obviously his arms wrapped tightly around me.
"Hmmm, Kacchan," he hummed in my ear and bits and pieces of last night filtered their way through my mind. I must not be remembering correctly, I mean why would he throw me like that? Actually none of my memories make sense. How much did I have to drink last night?
I felt something hot and wet on my neck and froze. "Don't even think about running away after last night. I'm not done with you yet," he chuckled in my ear and I could feel myself blushing hard at what he was implying but I must have heard him wrong… Right?
Instead of waiting for me to respond though he pulled me against him making me yelp at the sudden pressure of something very hard against my back.
"Nowhere close to done," he growled in my ear and when he gently bit my neck I let out a moan and he shifted my hips while thrusting forward. And I gasped at suddenly being impaled from behind. "Tell me if you want something, otherwise I'll just do what I want," he whispered, the tone in his voice was suggestive and he moved slightly so I couldn't do anything at all but gasp at the sensation.
His strong arms held me close, supporting me while his mouth attacked anywhere he could reach. He licked, kissed, sucked and even bit me but it all felt so good. My heart pounded in my chest as he whispered words of love and devotion and when I couldn't take much more I snapped at him. The way he pulled away had me gasping and ready to beg him not to leave but before I could utter a single syllable he was pulling me in for a kiss.
"I want to see you, I want to see you cum and I want you to know it was me that made you feel this way," he whispered in my ear. I mean holy fuck when did Deku get so fucking hot?
I gave up on trying to control what was going on and instead just enjoyed his touch. My arms went up and over his shoulders while one of my hands tangled in his curly hair, trying to pull him closer and the other scratched at his back. The feel of him pushing back inside of me has me crying out and sinking my nails into his skin trying to pull him in.
"Yes!" His hot mouth captured mine in an open mouth kiss and suddenly I really didn't care, the only people around were the two of us so why should I hold myself back? Just why?
I pushed him over and he quickly helped me on top once he realized what I wanted and both of our voices rang out once I was on top of him.
I'm never going to let him go.
***
It's been months since that night, almost a year now. We never did figure out who or when someone used their quirk on me so we never actually figured out when I was actually freed from it either, just one day it wasn't painful for him not to touch me. Right now however I can't be thinking about that.
It's well after dark and Deku and I have been on duty for far too long but we also don't have a choice. Some nutcase went insane and their quirk completely took them over so it was like we were fighting some feather monster beast thing because the actual person seemed to be unconscious. Which meant we also couldn't just beat the ever loving shit out of him. We also couldn't let him destroy buildings or hurt people so this has been difficult to deal with.
"Kacchan, pull one of your pins and aim for my head," Deku's voice came over the intercom. "Within ten seconds."
I grumbled to myself but found a good place and pulled a pin. "Am I aiming to hit you or your new shadow?" I asked, already taking aim.
"I knew you would understand. About 8 centimeters above my head. 4 seconds," he answered and I took in the distance. It was already dark, really dark but Deku's green energy guided my aim.
"You better survive this you fucking Nerd," I gritted my teeth and the shot fired with enough force that I fell over but at least I managed to stay up right until the shot actually fired. I watched as it tore through the air, ripping a path to my lover who seemed to have sprouted wings from childhood nightmares. Just before it would hit though.
"DIVE!" I demanded and I saw him tuck his head down and plummet towards the ground before the explosion hit its mark, the insane villain.
I ran. I used my quirk where I could to go a little faster but I am completely exhausted and it's not hard to see that. I ran for everything that I'm worth but my gauntlets kept hitting my legs, I could feel the bruises that they were leaving but I still didn't stop running. I unclipped my gauntlets and clipped them to my waist, freeing my arms from them but I'm still too fucking far away so I ripped off my gloves and stuffed them into a pocket on my belt. Deku was already on the ground, hell he was already standing and the insane villain was already cuffed and being taken into custody.
"DEKU!" I screamed and he looked up and smiled. I pulled an arm back and punched him in the arm. "You fucking bastard! What the fuck were you thinking? Demanding that I shoot you? Do you have a death wish?" I could hear my voice getting louder and louder as I hit him but I could also feel the tears filling my eyes. No! Fucking damnit, I refuse! I won't cry! I fucking won't!
"I know, I'm sorry," he tried to soothe me but that only pissed me off more.
"What if I missed? Huh? What if I actually hit you?" I screamed at him but he only nodded in understanding and I reached my bare hand up and cupped his face, he instantly relaxed, cuddling into my touch. "What if I hit you?" I whispered this time, the fact that I could see and feel the blood that probably came from him being too close only made my heart squeeze even more.
"I trust Kacchan more than anyone. I would have never trusted anyone else to do it, I swear. I knew you would never miss," he smiled, holding my hand to his face and smiling at me. "Kacchan is the most amazing after all." There he goes again with that corny line, and why in the fuck is he talking like I'm a third person? Trying to be fucking cute. I swear!
"Don't you ever do that to me again," I whispered angrily before I finally relaxed my shoulders and pulled him in for a kiss. "Never do that to me again," I repeated and I felt his arms circle my waist, gently holding me against him. "I love you."
"I love you too," I heard the smile in his voice but right now I can't yell at him for it. We've kept our relationship on the down low, so only my friends that were drinking with us that night had any idea that we were actually together.
"OH MY-!" My head snapped up ready to snap at whoever the fuck wanted to say shit right now just to see a TV reporter that was now very flustered.
"Get lost! I've had enough of you nosey ass reporters following us every fucking where! Leave us the fuck alone for once you ungrateful pieces of-," Deku turned my head and kissed me in order to silence me.
"It's okay, I'm right here. I'm alive. I'm fine," he crooned, running his bare fingers through my hair. Huh, when did he take off his gloves?
"No, I've shared you every fucking time. I'm only fucking human," I glared at him and he smiled sweetly back at me.
"You are so much more than that to me," he whispered and I could feel myself blushing but I'm still mad.
"I'm not sharing him today, go the fuck away!" I snap at the reporter who jumped and looked awkwardly behind her to see more of the fucking vultures coming our way.
"Deku," I growled and he chuckled a little before I felt him nod.
"Okay, I've been thinking that we really need a vacation anyway," he answered and I felt his quirk hum through me.
"A vacation sounds nice," I hummed and he adjusted his hold on me and jumped, leaving everything far behind us and far below. Time to go home.

"As you can see the pro hero Dynamight ran out into the empty streets and pulled one of the pins on his gauntlets, the sheer shock on the faces of the other heroes could easily write a horror novel all on its own but would you believe that the pro hero Deku actually ASKED him to do it? Could anyone believe that Deku would ask and Dynamight would answer without even the slightest hesitation?" The camera showed me taking off, towards the landing sight and Deku talking to police with the handcuffed villain being taken away.
The fact that I started attacking him the moment I was close enough to reach him also didn't look good but what I hated most was the fact that the camera saw the tears in my eyes and the reporter didn't neglect to point it out either.
"Is..? Is pro hero Dynamight crying?" Thankfully they weren't close enough to hear the things I yelled at him but it did catch me starting to cry. I looked away from the screen only for Gran Torino to force my face forward again just when Deku and I kissed in front of God and everybody. Deku, who was sitting next to me, only reached over and held my hand. The screen showed my breakdown and me snapping at the press but I couldn't help grumbling about them being nosey all over again. Does it really matter that we are dating? I mean what does that have to do with fighting villains? Ever since the fight the media has been digging up all the clips and shots they've taken of the two of us over the last few years and trying to figure out when our love story began.
It's sickening how obsessed they are with it. The reporter wasn't really giving a report anymore and was just asking questions that I have zero intention of answering until…
"Okay, I've been thinking that we really need a vacation anyway," Deku was caught answering me and I froze.
"A vacation sounds nice," my voice hummed in answer and I looked at the screen to see Deku smiling at me lovingly before he took off with me away from the reporters and general chaos from the crime scene.
"So," Gran Torino smiled while looking extremely threatening. "When should I expect the current number 3 and 4 hero to disappear at the same time?" He asked us and I turned away from him, not willing to answer. I mean what if we got married? We would both be on leave for our honeymoon and they can't expect one of us to keep working through that. They just can't.
"Once we finish making plans I'll submit the paperwork with at least two weeks notice. After all, we both have a ton of vacation time built up," Deku smiled at the former mentor. I would rather not get involved, thanks. "Who knows, maybe we'll take three months of our time to get some proper rest " the way he smiled would make anyone think that he was actually being innocent but all three of us know better. It's a threat, pure and simple.
"What makes you think-,"
"Is this going to take a while?" I interrupted and he looked at me confused.
"It will probably be a while Kacchan," Deku answered me and I let out a groan before standing up.
"And where do you think you're going?" Gran Torino huffed but I just waved him off while I moved my chair in front of Deku's.
"If I'm going to be yelled at for being inappropriate I might as well do something that warrants it," I grumbled before curling up in Deku's lap and putting my feet up on my former seat. "I need to regulate," I added so Deku understood what I was doing and he nodded letting me get comfortable.
"Regulate?" Gran Torino asked but I already closed my eyes to focus on my body, taking deep breaths as I do.
"He needs to take care of the side effects of his quirk. He isn't only angry and exploding," I could imagine Deku rolling his eyes but his fingers simply combed through my hair, helping me to relax.
I let out a low hum but stayed relaxed. If I don't regulate it will feel like I'm going crazy from my own quirk tearing through my veins. I could feel the small pops around my body, parts of me that weren't supposed to be able to set them off, but it wasn't lost on me that Gran Torino remained silent.
"Kacchan needs to calm down or his heart could stop. Why does everyone assume that just screaming is all that happens when he gets overworked?" I heard Deku grumble but his fingers continued to gently run through my hair, helping me to calm myself.
"Three weeks, quirk leave. We can't have you two collapsing," Gran Torino announced before leaving us, the light switch being flipped off and I could actually breathe in peace.
"Let's go home," Deku smiled when I opened my eyes.
"Let's get married," I smiled up at him and he did a double take. I reached for my belt and pulled out the ring that I've been carrying for the last month and a half and opened it for him. "Please, will you marry me?"
"Yes."
End.
