(Izuku PoV)

I stared in the mirror, my stomach churning as I tried to prepare myself for the first night sleeping with my soulmates. Denki had tried to tell me it was going to be fine but he knew me. I was always overthinking. 

What if Sero hates how my body looks when I'm wearing my pajamas and I get kicked out? Do I look too fat?

"Izuku, are you okay in there?" Denki's gentle voice leaked into the room as he knocked on the door.

"Two more minutes!" I did the best happy voice I could think of. I knew I had to take something to calm myself, pills that hadn't technically been prescribed to me. But I calmed myself every time I had them.

Swallowing the pills, I hid the bottle under the sink behind the cleaning supplies. Another knock at the door caused me to shut the cabinet quickly and rush over to the door. As I swung it open, I was startled to see Sero standing there.

"Are you ready for bed?" Sero reached forwards and brushed his hand through my messy curls and I felt my face warm. I pulled away from his touch, remembering how he could yet be using me, and passed him swiftly.

"I think I'll go on a walk before bed. I'm still jittery." I stated.

"Can I go with you?" Denki asked. "I think you and I should talk."

I gave him and Sero and confused look but just agreed, following Denki towards the doorway and as soon as we were walking down the sidewalk, he began speaking.

"He really does want to love you, Izuku." He stated. "I know it seems like he might be tricking you but I promise you that he wants you as his soulmate." He reached to hold my hand. "We both really love you."

I was silent for a minute. How could I pretend that him saying this didn't effect me? I wanted to make Sero happy. But would it make me happy.

I squeezed his hand, "I know Denki. I know you love me and I don't doubt that maybe Sero has feelings for me. But..." He looked over at me and I couldn't stand to look at him. "...how could I get rid of these thoughts that spin in my head...my dreams...every time I ever believe that I could be happy of soulmates."

"Oh Izuku," Denki stopped both of them from walking, turning to me, and hugging me. "It's going to be okay. Everything will be alright."

"Do you promise?" I whispered weakly.

"I promise."
