izu: *sigh* kurogiri you've known him for a long time, how do i get him off me?

mamagiri: crowbar

izu: of course. . . -_-

Izuku then looked at shigaraki, then back at shigaraki's death grip before phasing past his arms

"NOOO! IZU!"

"You're fine, i'll be back in a little bit shigaraki" izuku said, walking to kurogiri's warp gate, "later"

Izuku went back to the mall, looking around before spotting his grandparents   paying for the outfit tsunada had bought

"Hey I'm back" izuku said, "oh good" tsunada said, ignoring the fact that shigaraki wasn't there, but unfortunately for her, jiraiya did, "where's shigaraki, is he ok?" "Yeah he'll be fine by tomorrow, he probably ate something bad knowing him" izuku explained, an unsettling feeling in the back of his mind, like there was more to it then that

"Well serves him right for talking to me like that" tsunada said, just expecting the others to go along with it, "mon cheri-"

"don't say that about shigaraki, grandma"

Tsunada and jiraiya both looked at izuku, seeing him glare at tsunada, "bu-"

"no, it's one thing to talk like that about me, but don't say shit like that about shigaraki, especially behind his back, it's pathetic for a mafia leader"

Tsunada: what the. . .

Jiraiya: you can't kill him, he's already dead, plus he's your grandson

Izuku and his grandparents were now walking out, the air tense around tsunada and izuku, but soon, izuku glanced at a shop, seeing something in the window that intrigued him

". . .hey, ill be back, you guys can go home, i was gonna got to shigaraki's place anyway" izuku said to jiraiya, taking out his wallet, "ok, stay out of trouble"

Izu: I make no such promises

Jiraiya: that's my boy

-after izu got back to the lov hideout-

Izuku once again stepped through the warp gate, surprised to see shigaraki actually sleeping, but something was off, he was completely red and was wincing in his sleep, so izuku felt his head, feeling how warm he was

'He's burning up. . . Damn it what do I do know?'

Dark: change the temp of your body and cuddle him, should cool him down

Izu: I can do that?

Dark: yeah, should be easy, just think cold thoughts, like. . . Fire, lava, the sun, and th-

Izu: those are hot things, dark

Dark: hey don't blame me, I've been dead for so long I can't remember which is which

Izu:. . . Lair but imma ignore it

Dark: 😋

'. . . Cold thoughts huh? . . . Not like I can feel anything else unless directly touching something. . . Ice. . . Snow. . . Mausoleums. . . Ugh I don't even wanna think of those. . .' Izuku thought to himself, shivering at the thought of the mausoleum his father would lock him up in, the images of misshapen figures of what was once human still fresh in his mind. . .

'Oh. . . Did it work?' Izuku asked in his head, feeling his palm, it was cold, almost like ice, but not quite,  ". . . Hey shigaraki, get up" izuku said, gently shaking shigaraki's shoulder, "mmh. . . Izu? You're back?" Shiggy asked, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes

"yeah, hey um. . . I noticed your fever went up, my body's pretty cold so if you want you can lay on me until you're better" izuku offered, rubbing the back of his neck

"but won't you get sick too?" Shigaraki asked, "no, I can't get sick, i'll be fine, but you're burning up, you won't be fine, besides, I thought you would jump at the chance to cuddle in my thighs" izuku said, which peaked shigaraki's interest

"NOOO I want the thighs!!!" Shigaraki whined, clinging to izuku's leg, "that's what I though" izuku said, moving shigaraki's arms and laying on the bed, "come on dumbass, get over here" Izuku said, letting shigaraki get in between izuku's thighs and lay his head on izuku's stomach

"you really are cool, are you ok?" Shigaraki asked, "yeah, I can't feel my own temperature unless I touch my skin, actually I can't feel any temperature unless I touch something. . ."

"Izu. . . You know, I don't think you've ever mentioned much about your quirk, you said you wanted to train it right?" Shigaraki asked

". . .yeah, to be honest I don't even know the full extent of my quirk, I just. . . Find out randomly ig, like. . . Seeing ghost. . . It's the reason I quit the mafia actually, the killing. . . I would be haunted by them, it- I just. . . It's scary I guess. . . But grandma, she wanted me to have the kill on my first mission, I think I was around. . .7? Yeah 7, and I had. . . Just threw an explosive, I didn't want to see his face. . . He was all mangled a-and disfigured. . . I could barely recognize him. . . He would follow me, taunt me, did. . . Other things. . . Ever since, I've been terrified of most ghost"

"The fact that you went through that when you were 7" shigaraki said, kissing izuku's stomach, ". . . Yeah well. . . I told you about me, tell me something about you" izuku said, blushing

"Hah, jokes on you, I'm an open book, let's see. . . I have a skin condition that makes me ich my neck when I get irradiated, which is the real reason I'm 'crusty'"

"wait, seriously?"

"I'm serious, the lov doctor said it himself"

"No, I mean, the fact that I tell you about my first kill and in return you tell me about a skin condition? Seems unfair open book"

"Oh, ok. . . My first kill. . . Uh. . . Well. . . It was when my quirk first manifested. . . My family. . ."

"Uh- I take it back, you can go back to the skin care if you wa-"

"No no, it's fine. . . It was 15 years ago, and you already met the dead beat dad himself, and you know that he abused us, but what you don't know is why"

"Yeah, I didn't want to press for details"

"Yeah well. . . Here's the full story. . ."
