Their Steamy Love

Chapter Twenty-One

Eijirou and Katsuki stayed in Amano's office even after the ash blonde fell asleep from exhaustion. Denki, Hitoshi, Ochako, and Tenya eventually joined them. Mina, Yuga, and Inasa showed up as well, taking refuge in the small office with them. Shouto was the last to come into the room.

"How's he doing?" Mina asked hesitantly. None of them dared to speak any louder than a whisper in fear of waking Katsuki.

"He's still in surgery, but he's going to be just fine. Severely concussed, but fine." Shouto answered. "How's Bakugou?"

"He's still pretty shaken up." Eijirou admitted. Katsuki had fallen asleep with his head in Eijirou's lap. Eijirou had been playing with his hair ever since.

"How the hell are we supposed to keep doing this?" Hitoshi asked as he rubbed his temples. "They're a mess together."

"His therapist told him to leave Midoriya." Eijirou announced. A round of gasps circled the room. "But then Dr. Amano shot that idea down after she left. Guys, someone has to talk to Midoriya before Katsuki sees him."

"Why?" Yuga inquired with furrowed brows.

"We just need to make sure Midoriya isn't upset with him. I know he probably won't be, but we need to make sure. I don't think Katsuki could take it if he was." Eijirou stated with a frown. "I think the only reason he's still alive is because of his pup."

"You mean... you think he'd..." Ochako trailed off while pointing at Katsuki. Eijirou swallowed hard then nodded his head.

"He tried." Shouto stated. "Immediately after he finally came to, he was more than ready to blast his head off. I don't think he'd be here if I hadn't stopped him."

"I think we should look into getting him a new therapist." Tenya said with a deep frown. Everyone in the room seemed to agree.

"He's so peaceful when he sleeps." Denki commented.

"So what even happened? Why did he go feral on All Might?" Inasa asked. He looked around for an answer, but nobody knew. The only people who did were unconscious. Izuku was in surgery, and nobody dared to wake the sleeping Katsuki to ask.

~~~

"He's out of surgery." Amano announced to them. "I've taken over his case by the way. If any of you want to see him, you'll have to go in two at a time. He's still asleep, but we don't want him to be exposed to lights or any loud noises."

Everyone nodded softly. Amano looked down at his sleeping patient then over to Eijirou.

"I talked with his therapist." Amano spoke once again. Eijirou's brows raised up curiously. "She will no longer be his therapist."

"Thank you." Eijirou whispered. Amano nodded then left the room. "It's getting late. We should all head home for the night."

"What about him?" Ochako asked. She pointed at Katsuki's sleeping form.

"He'll come stay with us." Hitoshi stated, leaving no room for argument. "One of us will stay with him for the night."

"You do it." Denki said to Hitoshi. "Eijirou and I are heavy sleepers. At least with your insomnia, you can keep a better eye on him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

One by one, everyone said goodbye. They filtered out until it was just Katsuki and the married trio. Eijirou gently shook Katsuki awake.

"Deku?" Katsuki whispered the moment his eyes opened.

"He's okay." Eijirou told him. "But he needs rest. Do you want to come stay at our place for the night?"

"But Deku?" Katsuki argued sleepily.

"He'll be okay. Come on. You and your pup need a nice, comfy bed." Eijirou coaxed him. Katsuki nodded softly, still not fully awake yet.

The trio took Katsuki and Ryuu back to their place. By the time they'd arrived back, Katsuki had fully woken up. Denki managed to con him into eating and drinking while Hitoshi and Eijirou got the guest room ready.

"I don't want to sleep alone." Katsuki whispered. He fiddled with his hands in his lap.

"I'll be with you." Hitoshi told him with a gentle smile. Katsuki sighed in relief. The other three ate something then the four of them headed off to bed.

Katsuki crawled under the covers whereas Hitoshi lied down with a book. A few moments passed before Katsuki spoke up. "Hey, Shinsou?"

"Hmm?" Hitoshi hummed in return.

"Can you brainwash me to forget?" Katsuki asked him. He looked up at the beta with pleading eyes. Hitoshi's purple irises met his scarlet ones.

"No, I can't. That only works if I make you forget everything that is about to happen. You'll remember it again once my quirk wears off." Hitoshi explained easily. Katsuki nodded in understanding. "Hey, Bakugou?"

"Yeah?" Katsuki's control slipped away just like that.

"Get a good night's sleep."

Katsuki was out like a light.

~~~

Katsuki woke with a panicked breath. He held his throat, feeling like he couldn't breathe. His surroundings were fuzzy as he looked around for his boyfriend.

"Bakugou." A voice spoke out. He turned swiftly, barely able to see somebody with purple hair. "Breathe."

He shook his head. He couldn't. Why couldn't he breathe?

"Bakugou, can you hear me?"

"Y-Ye-" Once again, Katsuki was brainwashed by Hitoshi's quirk.

"Deep breaths." Hitoshi instructed him. Katsuki took deep breaths, calming down quickly under the influence of the beta's quirk. "Now tell me what happened."

"Nightmare." Katsuki answered. He felt his control return to him. He curled his fingers just to be sure. "Is Izuku really okay?"

"He's going to be perfectly fine." Hitoshi said with a small smile. "He's going to need his omega's help for a bit, but he'll be alright."

"Was what Eijirou said true? About your guys' bond?" Katsuki inquired. Hitoshi nodded his head.

"Right now, Eijirou is dreaming about working out. And Denki is dreaming about meeting our pup for the first time." Hitoshi explained to Katsuki. "It's one of the reasons I enjoy staying up now. I get to know what they're dreaming about, and I can wake them up before nightmares get bad."

"Izuku has mentioned wanting to bond, but having a feeling telling him not to... have any of you ever felt that?"

Hitoshi thought for a moment before nodding. "It was mostly Eijirou, but I felt it occasionally too. Denki never did though. It was why Eijirou never marked Denki until after our marriage. He felt like something was missing, and that missing something was me. Then he could sense my apprehension about the whole dating thing. His mind was telling him to wait until the perfect time."

Katsuki thought about the times Izuku mentioned the feeling. He mentioned the moment just not feeling right. And hearing it from Hitoshi made it make more sense.

"Go back to sleep, Bakugou." Hitoshi told him. "You need your rest."

Katsuki nodded then lied back down, quickly succumbing to sleep once more.
