Loveless

Sero and Shinso hadn't left Izuku's side since that voice spoke. So much so that they packed bags, now they basically lived in the infirmary. Sero sleeps on the small couch while Shinso sleeps at the bottom of Izuku's bed.

Sero isn't dumb, he noticed Shinso's crush on the small boy. Though he wasn't sure if Shinso noticed it himself. Sero entered the room holding a bag that Midnight just brought by. He sat it on the bed and Shinso sat his phone down, looking through it the bag.

"I'm going to take my shower, don't eat all those without me," Shinso said quietly and picked up his backpack.

"Dude I'm not Denki, I'm offended you think I'm so greedy." Sero shook his head and sat in his chair.

"Oh you're right sorry" Shinso apologized.

"Eh it's fine" Sero waved him off as the bathroom door closed.

Sero scooted his chair closer to the bed and turned to the small table attached. He carefully swished the rag around in the bowl before ringing out the water. He gently began to clean Izuku.

"I hope you wake up soon, final exams are in a few days. I know you can easily pass them but I'm worried you won't wake up in time.

Oh, and I have good news! Apparently, Nezu is going to adopt you and all the teachers are gonna be like your family." Sero smiled as he clipped Izuku's hair back to wipe his face.

He then slightly pulled Izuku's hospital gown down to clean his neck and chest. Once done he sat the rag back into the bowl and just gazed at Izuku. Sero grabbed Izuku's hand bringing it to his face feeling how cold it was. He slowly placed his hand back down and tightly gripped the bedsheets.

"What the hell am I doing? I look so pathetic...you probably can't even hear me. If only I'd done better maybe you wouldn't be in this situation. What if I lose you too...you remind me of her so much. Every time I looked at you all I could see was her.

So I avoided you...seeing your smile was too painful. If I just looked closer maybe I could have noticed yours was fake too. I'm so glad I got to know you...I haven't been this happy in so long. I don't want it to stop...I don't want to lose anyone else. I can't help but feel like this is somehow my fault.

It's easier to think that rather than believing that I'm being punished. What other reason could there be for this to keep happening to me? I just wish you'd open your eyes or just give me some sign to let me know you're still here." Sero buried his face in the sheets as he cried.

Shinso came over and sat beside Sero rubbing his back. Sero felt a weak squeeze and quickly sat up. He looked down to see he and Izuku were now hand in hand. This only made Sero cry harder but this time they were tears of joy.

The boys walked around the basement unsure of what they should be looking for. Finally having enough Aoyama turned to Bakugo.

"So is it true?"

"Huh?" Bakugo looked up confused.

"What he said about you just acting, was it true?" Aoyama specified catching everyone's attention.

Bakugo looked away from him and continued what he was doing, "No it's not... that's why I feel responsible. I did that to Izuku-"

"That wasn't him" Kaminari cut him off.

"What?" Bakugo looked at him.

"That wasn't Izuku, the real him hates you with a passion. Yeah, he did have a crush on you when you two were younger but it's different now." Kaminari said looking at the dusty shelves.
