Please be real. I can't take it again. Please be real.

I hesitated to reach out for his hand. When our hands touched, he smiled.

"It's really you, right?" I mumbled, and he laughed under his breath. "Of course. There's only one of me!"

I missed him.

I really missed him.

I tugged on his arm and pulled him down to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Sorry. I know it's weird. Just let me hug you for a little bit."

I could tell he was surprised. His arms were hesitating to go near me. I could feel his face get warmer.

He's embarrassed. It's adorable...

"I'll let go now. I didn't mean to get you all flustered." I gave him one last tight squeeze before removing my arms.

Before my arms could go all the way off him, he quickly wrapped his around me. "Don't let go just yet." He mumbled in my neck. I felt his lips moving on my skin, and I started to feel my neck get hotter.

Great, now I'm embarrassed.

"Alright." I mumbled, placing my arms around him again.

"I'm glad your safe, Y/N. I-I was really worried." His lips grazed my neck each time they moved.

He let me go and stood up. Reaching out to me again. "Ready to go home?"

I nodded my head and took his hand in mine.

"I'm not letting you leave my side ever again, alright?" He squeezed my hand. I didn't notice myself smiling. "I haven't seen you smile in a while. I forgot how pretty it was." He mumbled.

How can he say that without blushing but got nervous while he hugged? This duality of his is really something else.

We heard some movement from the other room and I assumed it was Dabi. I tugged on his arm, "Let's go before he wakes up." I whispered he nodded his head and we made it down quietly through the building.

Near the exit, Midoriya stopped walking and pulled me aside. "What's wrong?" His grip on my hand had grown tighter and his head was face down to the ground.

"Were you hurt? Your arms are shaking and they're filled with cuts and scars. What happened?" His voice was unsteady and his eyes never met mine. "I'm really okay now. This happened a couple of days ago. Don't worry." I tried to ease his mind but I really didn't know what I could tell him. He isn't an idiot. He knows these are recent.

"Do you regret what you did?" There was a moment of silence before he spoke again. "I really believe you're an amazing person. Something about you just made me want to be with you forever." He looked up with tears making his eyes have a glass-like gloss over them. "Tell me it's okay to still feel this way about you despite everything else!" He was pleading with me and he sounded so desperate for an answer.

So he does know and he's still here with me?

"Midoriya, I don't know what to say. I can't force you to forgive me. I can't say I'm a good person. Everything proves I'm not but ever since I met you. Ever since I met you, I thought maybe there was more to me than just this path I choose." I stepped a bit closer to him. "To be very honest, I don't care about villains or heroes. I just wanted someone there. My whole life I was always told I would be exactly like my parents and everyone was scared of me despite knowing nothing about me."

He let go of my hand and I felt a little tug on my heart.

"When Dabi found me, it was like the universe sent me a message. That everyone was right and I had no other choice." Thoughts were pounding at my head. My heart was so ready to just open up to him completely but my brain was fighting against it. I can take everyone else's hatred but Midoriya's opinion is the only one that matters to me.
