(warning:mentions of blood)

Loud breathing could be heard throughout the room. it was shallow, quick, and shakey, almost like he was hyperventilating. His whole body was trembling from the sight in front of him. There was blood everywhere on his face, dripping from his chin and hair. He couldn't tell who it was anymore. It was him, but not him at the same time.

All of the memories he had ,made it's way back to him like a flashback. Sadly, it was all the bad ones. They showed him that the person he see's in the mirror was, in fact, him. There was no denying it. It was nothing but the truth. He should've been locked up a long time ago. Hell, his sister should've turned him in, but here he was. Standing with the blood of his victims on his hands from loosing control of his quirk.

But he still couldn't believe it.

"M-Mac?"

There's that voice he's come to know in a short amount of time.

It held uncertainty, and was that fear? He turned his head towards the voice, seeing the blonde haired teen. He was standing now as he managed to undo himself from the restraints. Confusion and fear was written on his face like he thought. Crimson eyes wide and alert. He never wanted to see that face on him. That was the one thing he promised to never have happen, and yet, he broke that promise.

And Mac couldn't hold back the tears from forming.

"I-I.." His own voice was shakey. It was no longer the demonic sound like it was. His hands trembled and he looked down at them. They were covered in blood. "I-I dont k-know what happened a-and I-" tears began to run down his face like a waterfall, causing the red liquid to merge and wash away.

Bakugo watched as the man in front of him crumbled emotionally. This was the first time he's seem him like this, and the first time he had seen him loose control over his quirk. He watched as Mac killed people in front of him. Yes, they were villains who had kidnapped and tortured him, but they were still people. But yet, it made his heart hurt, seeing him like this.

He took a hesitant step towards Mac, his own body starting to shake. Was it fear? He didn't know.

As he slowly got closer he noticed the difference in this version of Mac. After the episode, his body mass had shrunk down to its normal size, give or take a few muscles lingered, but his height had definently stayed. The blonde felt small standing within a few feet of him. But that's not what he should be focusing on. Mac was cold. He wasn't sure as to why since he didn't know barely anything on this "quirk". But from what his body could feel temperature wise for being so close, it was not what it was suppose to be. Had his quirk made him expell all that energy, leaving him weak and cold? Maybe that's one of the reasons he was shaking, because it didn't feel like fear. No, it was because the room temperature had dropped along with Mac's.

"Mac.." He whispered. With him standing so close to the man who could change with the snap of a finger, he didn't want to startle him. But the man had tensed up, afraid that he'd hurt his love.

"Don't blame yourself.. " He reached his hand out, lightly brushing the blue hair away from his face "You just wanted to protect me."

"I-I killed people, Katsuki." His voice was just as quiet, but still shakey" And I don't remember doing it." He turned his head away from Bakugo clenching his fists to his side. " I'm a monster."

"Don't say that!" Bakugo yelled, causing Mac to flinch and look at the blonde with wide eyes."Don't ever think that about yourself!Ever!" His eyes stung from his own tears that were forming.

Mac's lip trembled "B-but I lost control and-"

"Just becauae you lost control of your quirk doesnt make you a monster! I saw what happened! And yes i was scared!" Tears were streaming down his face as his body began to tremble. "You did it to protect me because they did messed up shit to me, and they deserved what you did to them. You saved me and that's all that matters!"

A few moments of silence passed. Mac had turned his back to Bakugo to grip his hair. He wanted to tell Bakugo that he was lying and that he was a monster. The blonde slowly closed the space between them, wrapoing his arms around Mac's waist tightly, not wanting him to get away. He buried his face in the ripped hoodie to try getting a little closer.
He took a deep breath, trying to get his emotions in line again, and to prepare himself for what he was about to say next.
"I love you.." he siad quietly, but Mac could hear him loud and clear.

Love?

He gripped the hoodie tighter, squeezing Mac in the process.

" I love you, dammit! So I don't ever want to hear you say or think that you're a monster."
