candor. the quality of being open and honest in expression

Izuku pressed a kiss to your shoulder from behind, hair rustling against the blankets. Morning light filtered in from the windows, rays disrupted by the blinds. His lips lingered on your shoulder for a moment, before Izuku grumbled as he began waking up.

"Good morning, sweetheart," you murmured, turning around to face your boyfriend. He swiped at his face with a tired hand, hair wild and messy. Izuku mumbled nonsense as he buried his face into the pillow.

"I'm still sleepy," you heard him say, and you ran a hand through his hair gently, playing with the strands and marveling at how much more of a mess his hair was in the morning. In this light, he adorned a crown of gentle light green, bringing out his freckles and prompting you to lean down and kiss each of them. Izuku giggled once he found out your intentions, and you laughed right back, the press of lips to his cheek not deterred in the slightest.

When you finally slowed your onslaught, you smiled down at your boyfriend, who, while you had sat up, still laid spread out under the covers. His arms rested above his head, eyes alight and fond. Izuku gazed at you as if you'd hung the stars, the moon, and all the planets; as if you had singlehandedly caused the soft light that illuminated the two of you.

"I love you," slipped from his tongue before he could stop himself, panic spiking briefly in his chest; yet, as Izuku watched your eyes fill with emotion, he realized he wouldn't take the words back even if he had the option to.
