Bakugo's Wish

23

I wake up in my own head again and I can only blink. I'm not hooked onto the metal slab anymore, no I've been let down. My hands are free, so are my ankles. I look around and see Icyhot and Deku in the same daze that I felt.

So much pain. I can't keep my eyes open but I crawl. I have to. I make my way to Deku and Icyhot and when I open my eyes again, there they are. I pull myself a little closer and I put my arms around my lovers. My pain was theirs, their hurt was mine. We have seen, we have felt our lives through each others eyes but our tears won't stop. Couldn't stop.

I hold them both as close as I could trying to keep them from breaking a part but in the end I just feel myself being torn apart instead.

"Bunny, Puppy, I'm just not strong enough." I whisper and we cried our hearts out, not caring that All Might and Aunty Inko were here. I could hear Aunty Inko fighting, and winning, with some man with a burned up face. I guess Aunty's mad, but considering I still can't feel my fingertips, from the frost bite that I never actually had, there isn't a whole lot I could do.

Flashes of green and black exploded every where, I could vaguely hear Aunty screaming at the man she was fighting before there was something that sounded like tearing flesh. I start to look up again but All Might was here now and he pulled our heads to his chest, as if somehow that would protect us from whatever was behind him.

Our tears, cries of pain, they just won't stop. I can still feel the boiling water being poured on my face, or the sludge villain sufficating me again. I close my eyes trying to shut out the noises, all the pain, all the things that I saw. But no matter what I do, it wasn't helping. I held my lovers, trying so hard to protect them from my past, why did we have to lose now? Why did they have to see it? Why did they have to feel my pain?

They know now. It's not like before where they could pretend they didn't or that on some level maybe I could actually heal with them beside me. No, they saw it, they felt what I did while I was raped. Their bodies are still clean but their minds...

They know.

The tears ran down my face as I screamed out nonsense, I can't even make a simple sentence. I just feel the pain, the pain that they have endured their whole lives and now they know mine too. Would dying have been easier?

I woke up screaming, not sure if it was the sight of the sledge villain, Toga or Endeavor or some nasty combination of the three. I sat up screaming my hand reaching out, explosions going off in front of me.

It took a minute but when I could breathe again, I looked around and saw I was in a hospital room, I was alone until doctors and nurses burst through the door making me explode again out of shock.

I was shaking, I couldn't hold still. I looked down at my arms to see chills while the hair on my arms raised. I try to take deep breaths, I'm in a hospital. I'm safe, I'm in a hospital. The mantra wasn't really helping but at the same time, it was.

I looked around and see the doctors and nurses were all staring at me. Where are my lovers? Where am I? Why isn't my hag or dad here? I started demanding answers but no one currently in here were giving me answers.

"THEN FUCKING GET ME SOMEONE WHO DOES KNOW!" I was fed up, they wouldn't tell me how either Deku or Icyhot were doing and I was ready to explode anything and everything in my way but as it turns out I didn't need to.

There was a commotion outside my door and there they were, they were in their own hospital clothes but they came running in, dodging the security guy that tried to block them out and they jumped onto my bed.

I held them close, finally feeling their comforting arms around me again. We stayed like that, ignoring the world while all we did was sit there holding each other. It didn't take long for our tears to start spilling over again but at least now I know. I know. They know. We know.
