Tododeku- "you can't die. Please don't die"

(a/n)- this one really isn't my favorite, but I hope you enjoy! 

-------

Shoto let his foot tap against the ground. He normally didn't do this. He didn't fidget and tap and let his hands twist together in an anxious knot of anxiety. His father had raised him against such actions. His father had raised him to stand still and look confident, even when it felt like the world was crumbling in on itself.

And right now, it certainly felt like the world was crumbling. Because right now, lying in a hospital bed with eyes closed, was Izuku. His boyfriend, his partner, his everything, was lying unconscious in a hospital bed and doctors weren't sure he would wake up.

Izuku being injured was like having too much homework at school. You think, oh what a shame, and I'll be more on top of things next time, but no one is really surprised. However, this wasn't an average injury for Izuku. This was a holy crap, it's sunday night and I forgot I had a test tomorrow sort of thing. Significantly less common, and with significantly more at stake.

Class 1A had been attacked by the league of villains, again. They had fought, and Izuku had gone off to fight shigaraki, along with bakugou and tsu. Todoroki had been busy fighting dabi, and lost sight of his boyfriend. When the fight was over, Izuku was still unaccounted for. Bakugou and Tsuyu hadn't seen what happened, but paramedics found him slumped and unconscious. They had run several tests, but couldn't determine what had happened. Recovery Girl was no help either, she'd used her quirk on deku far too much, and if she tried again it might worsen things. Todoroki had overheard all this, eavesdropping on the conversation between a doctor and a sobbing inko.

That had all been two days ago.

And yet Izuku didn't twitch so much as a finger, he showed no signs of life at all. If it hadn't been for the steadily beeping heart monitor, he could have been one of the corpses excavated from the rubble of the attack. Inko had been by her son's bedside too, but she'd needed to go to work. Todoroki wasn't *technically* supposed to be there, but his father didn't need to know he was skipping school.

In the light filtering in through the hospital blinds, Izuku looked positively angelic. His green hair fanned out in a halo around his head, his closed eyes and relaxed brow lacked the worry that normally plagued his face. Todoroki grasped, desperately, at his boyfriend's hand. He let the feeling of Izuku's warm flesh ground him, distract him from the paranoid thoughts circling in his head.

He might never wake up. He might wake up, but have lost all memory of you. He might wake up, but blame you for not having his back. He might hate you. He might want to break up.

Todoroki squeezed their hands together harder. His vision went blurry, and he felt the first tears trickle down his cheeks. His breath sped up, his pulsed raced, and the anxiety felt like a palpable thing.

"Please," he gasped, the tears coming freely. "Please Izuku. I need you here. Please come back. I-" He hiccuped, letting go of everything about manners and proper presentation his asshole father had taught him. The world narrowed into the sleeping boy infront of him. In that moment, Izuku was all that mattered. "I need you to come back. I love you. You can't die. Please-" The tears were leaving stark tracks down Todoroki's face, but he couldn't unclasp their hands and wipe them away. " Please don't die. Please come back."

Todoroki wanted nothing more in that moment than to see Izuku's eyes open. He wanted to feel Izuku's hand squeeze his back, and he wanted Izuku to smile and kiss his worries away. None of that happened, though. The hand in his was still limp, and Izuku's eyes remained stubbornly closed. There was no change in his heart rate. And maybe that was a good thing, because it meant things weren't getting worse. But it also meant things weren't getting better, and Todoroki needed things to get better. He needed Izuku to be okay. He would wait until Izuku would smile again, and say how much Izuku loved him. He would wait until Izuku was okay. He sit, and wait until Izuku woke up.

He would be waiting for a very long time.
