kiss me. before time runs out.

it's been 2 years since the battle. the battle that changed all of Japan's lives, the outcome not having affected anyone more than dynamight himself.

the fight was going fine. it was just another normal day, the wonder duo kicking some more villain ass together, doing their jobs that they loved so much. it wasn't supposed to end the way it did.

pro heroes dynamight and deku had been dating since they got out of high school and started doing their own hero work. after about a year, they made it public to the world. it wasn't much of a surprise, though.

with the way they worked together so well, could understand each other in ways nobody else could, with how they were spotted (on many, many occasions) holding hands and going out to dinner and other places for fun. but either way, everyone was happy for them and accepted them as they were. if anything, they became even better heroes because of all the love and support they received from their fans. after working under pro hero miruko for 5 years, they were able to start their own agency, and officially become the wonder duo.

that was 4 years ago.

it had been amazing. being able to work together, work with their friends from class A, climb the hero charts together and be a team in more ways than one.

they loved their job so much. it brought them closer.

dynamight and deku had just knocked out the last of the remaining villains inside of the warehouse, the fight being yet another victory for the famous wonder duo. the police were to be there soon.

they were in the middle of dusting themselves off when all of a sudden, a man with wings and talons (he looked more like a nomu than a man, though, thanks to Trigger) came out of nowhere, flying at an insane speed and in a flash, he had snatched deku off of the ground and proceeded to crash through one of the windows of the old warehouse, taking deku with him. the very second katsuki realized what had just happened, he was on him.

using his powerful blasts to propel him, straining the tendons and muscles in his arms while doing so, katsuki latched onto the creature and blasted him with all his might, but not before the creature decided to throw deku out of his way, sending him practically hurdling to the ground. the sound of katsuki's explosion and the impact deku made when he hit the ground was near-deafening, the sounds mixing together to form one loud, terrifying one, effectively damaging katsuki's eardrums once again. he really needed to be more careful.

thankfully, the blast katsuki emitted was powerful enough to knock the creature out immediately, and he didn't need to fight any longer. as soon as his feet hit the ground he took off running towards the crater in the concrete where deku was previously thrown.

there was still dust and debris everywhere, making it a bit difficult to see or breathe properly, but in the middle of the crater, lying very still, was that famous green head of hair that everyone loved and admired.

katsuki jumped into the pit, ears still ringing, trying to shoo away the dust so he could see the damage better. like that would help. once it cleared a bit, he could finally see just how bad that blow was.

and boy was it bad.

"deku?" katsuki practically whispered, his voice strained and quiet as he looked at deku's face, which was covered in blood.

his own blood.

"hey, deku, get up." he said, a bit louder this time, trying to reign in his emotions. he lightly shook his partners shoulder, eliciting a quiet groan from him.

deku slowly (and painfully) opened his eyes, quickly finding katsuki's. he smiled.

that's what he always did.
