Worth Saving

43. Fire Storm

" I've never been scared of losing something in my life, then again nothing in my life has ever ment as much to me as you do" ~ Unknown

By the time Izuku was in the back of his stations ambulance racing toward the scene of the fire he had already emptied the contents of his stomach three times from nerves.

Shinso studies his friend across from him watching Izuku's knee bounce up and down uncontrollably as he chews his finger nails, his complexion paler than normal.

" Hey try and calm down Izu."

Emerald eyes snap to his friend, who smiles at him.

" I know you're worried but this isn't your hot heads first five alarm, plus he's really good at this shit", Shinso trys to calm.

The greenett forces a nervous smile.

" I know..but.. but it's his first since we've been together and .. and I just had this really bad feeling this morning like.. like I didn't want to let him go, like.. I felt some kind of dread or.. ugh I dunno, I'm just scared. He's.. he's everything to me, I..I don't know what I'd do without him", Izuku begins to sob making Shinso move to sit beside him.

" Hey now, don't go thinking like that. He's good at his job and you're good at yours so we have him covered either way Izu. Now pull yourself together cause we're going to need to help out once we get there ok?", he says giving his friend a hug around the shoulders.

The greenett nods drying his eyes quickly.

" Right. You're right. Thank you Shin", he smiles through fear.

His friend nods beside him feeling his own fear at the thought, Izuku was finally ok and he knows if something does ever happen to Katsuki he definitely won't be any longer.

There's no more time to think as they pull up and step out in front of a towering inferno. The apartment building before them is fully engulfed in flames lighting the morning sky with a blackish orange light, it looks more like hell outside on this block then the corner of a busy city street.

Several firetrucks line the area, hoses pointed up at the fire beast as they do everything they can to push back the flames.

The city street is full of chaos as fighters, paramedics and police officers rush around trying to do their jobs along with curious on lookers and people who live in the building who are devastated by the destruction.

Izuku's mouth is dry as he stares at the thing. This isn't his first time seeing one but it's his first time worrying himself sick about the brash blonde who he knows pushed his way into this hell before him head first because that's what Katsuki Bakugo does.

He wants to cry, wants to scream wants to brust into a full blown run right into that burning chaos and pull his husband out and force him to go home, but he can't and he knows it because they both have jobs to do and that's exactly what that blonde firefighter would tell him. So he forces his panic down, swallowing it like acid that burns heavy with fear.

There's no more time to think as his first injured from the blaze resident is sat before him with a scared child in her lap who has a slight burn on his arm.

Emerald eyes soften as he looks at the pair who look terrified and lost.

" Hello, I'm Izuku I'm going to help you out ok? Ma'am are you hurt any where?"

She shakes her head with teary eyes and a shaky voice.

" N-no, I'm not but.. my son has a burn."

Izuku nods with a gentle smile looking at the upset child. He crouches down beside him.
