Traped (Baku x Deku x Todo)

Chapter 6

(Shoto POV)

I lay there as the pain in my foot intensified tenfold, I didn't have time to protect it as I fell. I heard a raspy cough to my left, it sounded like Bakugo. I pointed my head in that direction and groaned as it throbbed. A moment later I felt someone's hand in mine, then the other one in my hair. There was a faint smell of caramel and I realized that it was Bakugo.

"Deku, where are you? Deku?" he shouts, sounding panicked. Which made me panic in return.

"Shoto, where's Deku? Can you activate your fire? He's not answering."

Using all the energy I have I light up my left hand and the cave we are in is flooded with light.

It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust to so much light. I look around and shakily sit myself up. I see Bakago gasp and head to the water, he doesn't hesitate he just lowers himself in disappearing from view completely. I suddenly panic. I scramble over on my knees crying out in pain as my hand catches on something. I look down and see a mixture of rock and dirt with tree roots. I look over the edge into the water and I can only see the inky black water rippling.

"Bakugo, Deku. Katsukiiii, Izukuuuu!" I scream at the water. Tears are falling and I'm doing all I can to keep the flames going so they can find their way back to the surface. A few minutes later I see them. Katsuki shoves Izuku up on the edge before hauling himself up.

"Izuku, Izuku wake up please." I cry out looking at his lifeless body.

I freeze and watch as Katsuki gives him CPR. After the longest minute of my entire life, Izuku turns to the side and coughs out a lot of water. I put a shaky hand out and grab his hand. He gently squeezes it for a second. His skin is stone cold. His eyes slowly open and he looks at the two of us.

"Deku, Izuku don't scare me like that," Katsuki says softly as he runs his hand through Izuku's hair as he begins to cry.

"Did you just kiss me?" Izuku said weakly as he tried to smile. After a second thought his eyes closed again. For a second I panicked until I realized he was just sleeping. Katsuki placed his head on his chest listening to his chest. I pulled Katsuki into a tight hug.

"Katsuki I..I thought I was going to lose both of you there." I splattered on his shoulder.

He gripped me tighter and held me until both of us calmed down. When we pulled apart he was shivering. I extinguished my flames and dried his and Izukus clothes. I relit my flames although they were much weaker now. Katsuki got out his mobile from the now soaking wet bag on his back. We looked at each other, both mobiles were soaking. He stripped them apart and laid them out to dry. He was able to get a few of the thick tree roots and we made a small fire surrounding it in stones. I was exhausted. We unpacked the rest of the stuff from the bag. We looked at the food in front of us, most of it was destroyed by the water. We were left with one pack of sealed cookies, the three remaining tea cakes as they were in a sealed tub, and a small pack of boiled sweets. The Turkish delights were soaked. I only had one piece I sighed. Katsuki said when we get out of here he will buy me another box and I smiled. He really does have a soft side sometimes. We separated what was salvageable and let the bag dry.

"Sorry, if I made you uncomfortable using your first name." I say as I watch Izuku sleep.

"I think we have long passed using our last names Shoto." he laughs and yawns. I see Izuku shiver even though I have dried his clothes. Katsuki sees this too and we decide it's best to rest. We both get back into our position, cuddled up with our heads on Izuku's lap. I sling my arm over Izuku and grab Katsuki's arm, afraid that if I let go one of them will disappear. Without Izuku playing with my hair and singing it took me longer to fall asleep and when I did my dreams were plagued with his lifeless body.

(Bakugo POV)

I could see Shoto fighting sleep, I ran my hand through his silky hair and he fell asleep within moments. I smiled weakly, every time I shut my eyes all I could see was Izuku laying there not breathing. I let out a shaky breath as I watched his chest rise and fall. I don't know how long I watched him before I finally fell asleep.

I woke up a while later and I was hot much hotter than normal. I lifted my head from Izuku's legs and I could see the small fire was still burning softly a few feet from us. I looked at Izuku and noticed he was sweating but his body was shaking. I woke up Shoto.

"I think he has a fever." I lean up and press my lips to his forehead. It burned hot.

"Shit he is really hot and shivering. We need to cool him down, slowly." I untied his fleece from his waist and ripped it into rags before I dipped them in the icy water. I placed one on his forehead and one on each wrist. I then took off his shoes making sure his feet were warm. Shoto asked what I was doing and I explained that when Izuku was little he used to take fits when his temperature rose quickly. I remember Aunty and my mum doing this for him when that happened. He would sleep for a while after then all of a sudden he would be running about the house as nothing had happened. I hope this was the case.

"Do, do you think he will fit now? Shoto asked as he put a shaking hand on Izuku's head.

"No. He grew out of them around 6 or seven. But I just don't want to take any chances while we are down here. Shoto he will be fine, he always is. We all will be." I say as I grab him, he lays his head on my shoulder and I run my hand through his hair the way Izuku does with me. I feel him relax, we sit watching Izuku sleep. I hope his fever breaks soon.
