        Bakugo reached further out, stretching across the bed to fully link our hands together. I sighed in relief at his touch and shut my eyes. There was no better feeling in the world than holding Katsuki Bakugo's hand. I had been waiting to hold him again the past two days, and it was finally happening.

      More tears rolled down his face as we laid together alone in the nurse's office. Anyone could walk in at any moment, but I didn't care. Let them walk in, the whole world could walk in and I'd never be ashamed of loving him or turn away from him. Not anymore.

      "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" He asked, clearing his throat with a cough so he could speak clearly.

       "If you're okay with it," I answered, gripping my hand tighter onto his.

      He was going to ask why I was dressed like a girl and had boobs. He was going to fully find out my secret, but I didn't mind. I felt unstoppable with him holding my hand, like I could take on anything that came my way. Maybe I could, as long as he was right there with me. I wasn't scared of telling him anymore, I wanted to tell him.

      "So, before I ask questions, I knew you were trans. Before the building fell on me or you got kidnapped." He admitted, still staring me in the eyes.

       What? How the hell did he know? I kept my guard up 24/7 and kept the secret so well even I forgot I was trans sometimes.

      "Wha- How?" I asked, baffled. I sat up in my bed and turned to get a better look at him, still holding his hand.

      "I overheard Mr. Aizawa and Recovery Girl in your dorm after I injured you. I tried to go in but they pushed me away, but I heard them discussing hiding you were trans from me. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop but-" He attempted to apologize before I cut him off.

       "No, no. It's okay. I should've told you anyway. You didn't injure me, I was training in my binder and I shouldn't have. That's what hurt me." I smiled.

      That meant he hugged me and held my hand and fell asleep on me all while knowing I was trans. It didn't change a thing between us.

       "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.

       "I- I didn't think it would matter this much, to be honest," I admitted, looking down from his gaze.

        "Everything about you matters to me, Kirishima," Bakugo confessed, holding my hand tighter and caressing me with his thumb.

       I melted into his touch and slumped back in the hospital bed.

      "When I first heard you had been taken, I was in disbelief at first. I couldn't believe you were gone. But then your mom came to the school crying and that's when it sunk in. I- I might have gone a tad bit overboard from my anger..." He smiled, turning away from my gaze in embarrassment.

       "Oh my god, what did you do?" I laughed back. Knowing him, a couple of buildings were probably destroyed and he was probably at risk for getting kicked out of the school.

       He smiled and leaned his head back against the bed, "Well, let's just say my dorm and a few others are incapable of being lived in."

       Ths idiot. I smiled at him and began laughing. Of course he did that, I expected nothing less. Normal Bakugo antics, exploding dormitories from anger. It did bother me that he had that reaction when this whole fiasco was my fault. It was completely preventable, but I had let it happen.
