I don't remember falling asleep, but when I woke up, I found myself tangled in shouta's bedsheets with myself in the little spoon position and him wrapped around me. 

Gently I rolled over to admire his sleeping face. I carefully ran my fingers across his stubble to the scar under his eye and found myself wondering what the story behind the scar was. 

His face scrunched up in his sleep and his arms tightened around me. I was now in the death grip. Content with this I nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck where I placed a few gentle kisses. 

My eyes wandered to the tattoos peeking past the collar of his shirt. I wondered how many people actually knew how ink covered his body was. In his hero uniform you would never know what lies beneath, or even how muscular he was. The baggy shirts hid all of that, I suppose that was the purpose though. Now however he wore a short sleeved v-neck although it was still baggy, it showed more of his skin. 

My eyes fixated on a large scar across his elbow, covering about a third of his arm. It was hidden beneath a few tattoos but up this close I could easily see it. More mysteries I hoped I could crack.

This was a later me problem.

My head found its way back to his neck and as I was going to close my eyes again I saw something I hadn't noticed before. There was a scar in his neck that looked like a stab wound with lightning scars surrounding it. So many secrets, I wanted to know all of them. 

He shifted his weight and adjusted his arms along with a soft grunt. One arm was wrapped around my waist settling on my hip, and the other arm slid up the back of my shirt and settled right in the middle of my back. 

Getting used to my back being touched was going to take some time, but his hands were so soft and the sensitive scarred skin on my back seemed to always be on fire until the ice if his fingers soothed it. 

"Good morning." He mumbled incoherently.

"Good morning." I smiled back at him and placed a soft kiss on his throat. He responded with a small growl in the back of his throat and I decided to retaliate with a few more soft kisses. 

"Fuck-" he hissed. "You're in a good mood." 

I laughed a bit, he sounded so tired. "He, did I fall asleep on you last night? I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It's okay that I brought you to my bed instead of yours right?" He asked as he started rubbing small circles onto my back. 

"Yeah. Of course. I am curious as to why though." I asked. 

"After everything we talked about, it didn't feel right to leave you alone… and maybe I wasn't ready to let go of you." 

My heart bloomed with joy. "Hey, can I ask you another question?"

"Mmm- I suppose" He replied before finally opening his eyes and looking down at me. 

"If you'd rather not talk about it I understand, but what are your scars from?" I suddenly felt shy with his gaze cast upon me. 

"Villains." He yawned nonchalantly. "My face and elbow were from when the league attacked my class this year." 

"Oh. I didn't realize they attacked you." I whispered. 

"Multiple times." He murmured. "But you've been out of it for two years right? I wouldn't expect you to have known, its okay. The one on my neck is from when we saved Eri. We think the League was involved in that one too but it's unclear."

"Sounds like the league has really lost their way." I looked down at the scar on his neck. "Back when I was with them, they wanted to reform hero society… they wouldn't have attacked children. Or worked with the Yakuza…"
