You shivered as Bakugou's fingertips grazed over your cut.
Dipping a clean cloth in some cold water, he disinfected it thoroughly before ripping the bandages with his teeth. But unlike his aggression that he just displayed before you, he twined it around your upper arm hesitantly.
Slowly. Carefully. Lovingly.
The edges of your lips twitched in amusement at seeing his brow knitted, eyes honed in with the utmost concentration despite how shallow the wound was and how quickly it would heal overnight.
"Alpha..." You murmured, shooting him a gentle and reassuring smile when he glanced up at you. "... 'm okay."
The low growl the king emitted sent a shiver shooting straight down your spine.
Nudging your nose against his bare shoulder, you whined softly when he peeled away from you to grab an antibiotic.
Your forehead creased in distress as you noticed that he prioritized you over himself even though his wounds were much graver than yours.
But Bakugou didn't notice your increasing concern as he finished his task of taking care of you. When he tied off the knot to secure the gauze in place, he leaned back, satisfied with his handiwork.
You giggled, inspecting the cotton patch now adorning your arm and you smiled at him gratefully, sitting forward to press a chaste kiss to his cheek in thanks.
Bakugou's cheeks colored and he whipped his head around. "Tch. Shitty pipsqueak."
"If you do something that fucking stupid again, I'll fucking kill you." He glared with a vengeance and you bit your lip, beaming brightly.
"Okay!!" You cheered and he scowled, then groaned when his shoulder twinged the wrong way.
Your eyes filled with concern and you frowned, covering his hand with your smaller ones when he tried to pick up another bowl of clean water.
"Here." You said softly, urging his trembling arm to bring it down. "Let me."
Setting down the bowl, you gently cleaned his wounds, doing your best not to cry when you saw the gash on his torso.
Bakugou hushed you gently and wiped away your tears, pressing a butterfly kiss in its wake. "Don't cry, Y/N... I'm fine, see?"
Sniffling, you nodded as your touch glossed over the injury that was less severe than you first thought it was. It stretched from his side down to his hip, around four inches in length but it wasn't deep and you didn't think it needed stitches.
You packed the wound first to stop whatever bleeding there was and undid the buckle of his belt to move it down a little so that you could make sure it didn't go down any further.
You blushed violently at his chortle and smacked his uninjured shoulder.
"Stop laughing at me!!" You protested with a pout. "It's not funny!!"
Bakugou gave you a lopsided grin. "If you wanted to get into my pants, princess, maybe you should let me take you out on a date first."
Tilting your head back slightly, you giggled, becoming shy under his heated gaze.
His rough fingers combed back the hair that had come undone from your braid and his hand snaked around the back of your neck to press your forehead to his.
"Why are you acting all shy now, Omega?" He purred and you shuddered as his hot exhale puffed out against your sensitive neck.
"Alpha~" You whined, pushing against him as he distracted you. "Let me finish first."
