     I fell asleep and woke about an hour later.  My mom, Kacchan's parents, All Might and Aizawa are sitting around my bed.  I notice the morphine drip is gone and my head is clear.  They are all whispering trying not to wake me.  I cough to let them know I'm awake. 
     "He's awake" says All Might in a rather stern  voice.  "Midoriya, I know you just woke up, but we need to talk about what you said right before falling asleep".
     "Huh? What I said?" I scratched my head trying to remember.  "Let me think for a minute.  That morphine really makes you loopy". I sit up with my moms help.  "Why do you want to know?  Is it about the attack?". 
     "No you damn nerd!  It's what you said about us, idiot!" Kacchan shouts. 
     "Us?" I look at him with confusion.  I look closely at his face and notice his eyes are red and a bit swollen.  Had he been crying?  What had I said?  I look over at my mom and suddenly the memories come back.  It's hard to breath!  My heart is beating too fast!  The monitor next to my bed goes off and a nurse rushes in. 
     "He's having a panic attack!  Everyone back away and let me give him oxygen.  Midoriya, everything is going to be ok.  Just take deep breath's" she says calmly.  She puts an oxygen mask over my nose and keeps telling me to take deep breaths.  After a few minutes I feel better and she helps me sit back up.
     "I'm sorry Deku.  I shouldn't have yelled at you like that" Kacchan says with remorse. 
     "Don't apologize.  I deserve it.  I am so sorry Kacchan" I say as look at my hands.  What else can I say to him?  How could I have done this to us?  I  can't even look at All Might in the face.  What will he think of me now? 
     "We waited to talk to you both.  I honestly don't understand why it's such a big deal.  Katsuki and my son are in love.  So what?" My mom says. 
     "It's a big deal because they are sharing a dorm room and having sex!" Yells Aizawa.  "That's against school rules!". 
     "It's not like Midoriya or Katsuki can get pregnant" snorts Misuki Bakugo.  "My husband and I don't have a problem with them living together.  Katsuki is 17 and Midoriya is a couple months from his 17th birthday". 
     "That's not the point!  Unless they are married or engaged they are not allowed to live together.  They broke school rules and must be punished" Shouts Aizawa. 
     My voice shakes as I ask "Will we be kicked out of the hero program?".  My chest hurts so badly.  I can feel tears starting to cloud my vision. 
     "Bakugo...How serious are you about Midoriya? All Might asks. 
     He grabs my hand and gives it a little kiss.  "He's my soulmate.  I plan on marrying him after we graduate" he says softly as he looks All Might straight in the eyes. 
     "It sounds like they are engaged to me" says Masaru Bakugo. 
     A groan and loud sigh comes out of Aizawa.  "Fine.  They're engaged.  There still needs to be a punishment otherwise other students will think its ok to shack up with their lovers too". 
     Kacchan holds both of my hands  and sits next to me in bed.  His presence calms me.  I just love him so much.  "I'm so sorry Tiger.  I can't believe I said those things out loud and now we're in trouble" I murmur against his chest. 
     "It's ok Deku.  It's actually a relief not having to hide our relationship anymore.  I'm proud that you chose me and that you love me" he says softly as he leans down to kiss me gently. 
     Aizawa coughs loudly.  I blush forgetting we are not alone. 
     "We'll decide your punishment after you have healed from your injuries.  You will be released tomorrow morning and will be excused from combat training for 2 weeks" says Aizawa.  "You both will remain in the hero program.  Your quirks are too powerful to waste.  Don't make me regret that decision.  If you break any more school rules you will be expelled from UA permanently" he barks. 
     All Might gives me a warm smile as he looks at me.  My heart is about to burst.  He isn't ashamed or mad at me!  He and Aizawa leave the room and we are left with our parents.  "So....big surprise huh?" I say stupidly.  This whole situation is awkward AF. 
     My mom bursts out laughing "No honey.  It's no surprise to me.  I've known you've been in love with Katsuki for years.  The way you puppy dog followed him everywhere".  I blush scarlet. 
     "I'm surprised, but not mad" says Kacchan's dad.  "I honestly didn't know my son was gay.  I'm not the most with it when it comes to matters of the heart.  Midoriya is a really great guy and I'm happy that they are together.  I just wish I had found out a different way". 
     "I knew too.  Katsuki would get all flustered whenever I mentioned Midoriya.  He would act all pissed off, but his cheeks would turn an adorable shade of pink" she teased. 
     "Shut it you old hag!" Raged Kacchan.
      "Kacchan" I said softly squeezing his hand.  "Looks like we might be ok.  We can still become heroes and I can love you out in the open.  No more hiding". 
     "Tch.  Nerd" he responds giving me a quick kiss.
