The Lost Hero

~<•>Chapter 12<•>~

-(3rd person POV)-

Bakugo managed to calm Midoriya down within half an hour. The other pros had gone to their rooms to give the two some space. Bakugo has spent the last ten minutes talking to the distraught hero. Giving him some comfort and reassurance that Axel will be taken care of.

"Izuku I promise nothing will happen. You are safe with me. He can't get you here."
(Bakugo)

"O-okay...C-can we just go to bed now. I don't really wanna watch a movie anymore."
(Izuku)

"Of course. I have some emails to look through but I'll stay with you while you sleep. Do you wanna sleep in my room or yours?"
(Bakugo)

"Yours p-please."
(Izuku)

With that Bakugo picked Midoriya up and took him to his room. When they arrived Bakugo gently set Midoriya on the bed.

"Hey I'm gonna get you pain meds. Will you be okay for a minute?."
(Bakugo)

"Y-yeah. Can you get me water?"
(Midoriya)

"Yup. See ya in a sec."
(Bakugo)

Bakugo left to go get the water and pain killer leaving Midoriya to his own thoughts.

He's really still out there...

Tears filled his eyes as the fear still bubbles deep in him. He didn't want to feel this way anymore. Almost an entire year he has lived in fear.

Tears slowly fell but when he heard Bakugo coming he quickly wiped the tears away. Bakugo entered the room handing him the pills and water.

"Here. Are you feeling alright? Your face is still red."
(Bakugo)

"Yeah just tired. Will you sit in the bed while you work?"
(Midoriya)

"Sure."
(Bakugo)

Bakugo got settled in bed with his laptop, Midoriya laying down next to him, with a small gap separating the two. A few minutes of silence pass and Midoriya slowly fell asleep.

That Bakugo expected, what he didn't expect was for Midoriya to turn and snuggle into his side. He froze as the green haired adult moved.

Once he settled Bakugo let out a sigh of relief. Going back to his work for another 2 hours. Once he got a good portion done he shut his laptop and laid down. He made sure not to disturb Midoriya.

He quickly fell asleep into a dreamless sleep.

-la time skip-

Bakugo woke up at 8:00 the next morning with a weight on his chest. When he looked to see what it was he was met with a mop of fluffy green hair.

A red tint took to his face. He felt the overwhelming urge to lay a kiss on Midoriyas head and hug him, but he still had self control so he gently took Midoriya off of himself and got out of bed.

Bakugo changed into some workout clothes and rubbed the youngers back to wake him up.

"Mmm?"
(Midoriya)

"Hey I'm gonna work out. Do you wanna come down with me or sleep a bit more?"
(Bakugo)

"I wanna come. Can I try walking?"
(Midoriya)

"Yes, but I want you to not push it. You need to stretch first as well."
(Bakugo)

Bakugo picked up Midoriya and carried him down to the work out room. He set him down on the mat so he could stretch.

Both men started stretching and carrying out small talk.

"So when are you thinking about going back to work?"
(Midoriya)

"Well I still have two weeks off to take care of you. After that I'm just gonna be on call. So I'll still be home for awhile. I wanna make sure your okay and feel safe before I go back full time."
(Bakugo)

"B-but aren't you the number one hero?! You need to be out there helping people who really need you! I-I'll be okay!"
(Midoriya)

"So you're saying you don't need me?"
(Bakugo)

"No! I-it's just I don't want people to get hurt because I was keeping you home... And what if you loose your spot as number one?"
(Midoriya)

"One, you are the most important person to me so everyone else can go fuck themselves. Two, I could care less about my title."
(Bakugo)

A small blush took over Midoriyas cheeks after hearing the words Bakugo said to him.

"B-but-"
(Midoriya)

"No buts. Here let me help you stretch your legs."
(Bakugo)

"O-okay."
(Midoriya)

Midoriya laid down on his back and raised his leg to Bakugo. Bakugo slowly pushed his leg closer to his chest and flexed his foot.

After a few minutes Bakugo grabbed Midoriyas ankle and tickled his foot.

"AHHH NOOOO! HAHAHA LET GO!"
(Midoriya)

"Nahhhhh"
(Bakugo)

"AHAHAHA PLEASEEEE!"
(Midoriya)

"What's the password?"
(Bakugo)

"Allmight is the best!"
(Midoriya)

"Close but nope!"
(Bakugo)

"AHAHA KACCHAN IS THE BEST!"
(Midoriya)

"There ya go!"
(Bakugo)

Midoriya wiped the tears letting out a few giggles. A smile on both boys faces.
Without thinking Bakugo hugged Midoriya. Midoriya stoped giggling and tried turning his head to look at Bakugo.

"Are you okay Kacchan?"
(Midoriya)

"Yeah. I-I just really missed your laugh."
(Bakugo)

"Awww you've gone soft Kacchan!"
(Midoriya)

"Only for you ya need. Now lets work out this sappy shit is gross."
(Bakugo)

Bakugo lightly shoved Midoriya and stood up holding out a hand for him to take.

Midoriya stood up and smiled at him. He then was helped over to the bars where he could practice by himself as he pleased.

Bakugo then walked over to the treadmill and stared his own work out routine glancing over now and then at Midoriya to make sure he was okay.

During his run he looked over to Midoriya taking fluid steps with the bars help. In shock he missed a step and fell on the treadmill going 5.5 mph.

Obviously he flew off the treadmill making a loud thud on the floor. Midoriya  quickly turned and tried walking over to help. He took a step but couldn't go any further so he crawled.

"Are you okay?! Why did you fall?"
(Midoriya)

"Uggh...Yeah I'm fine. Damn that's gonna bruise."
(Bakugo)

"Why did you fall?"
(Midoriya)

"Well I was looking at you and noticed how well you were walking. Moving past my death, I think you should try crutches soon."
(Bakugo)

"R-really?! When?!"
(Midoriya)

Midoriya is beaming with excitement at the thought of having some independence back.

"Right now. Here I'll go get Mina's old crutches."
(Bakugo)

Bakugo got up with a groan and went to get the crutches. When he returned they went straight to work on getting use to the crutches.
