Stay With Me.

Chapter 10 : I love you.

Izuku fell asleep on Katsuki's shoulder that night. Having to carry the boy back down and to his bed again. But he didn't argue. He didn't mind either.

Bakugo went to take off some of Izuku's layers so he wouldn't overheat in the apartment, and it lifted up to his chest. The boys eyes widened and he looked to the darkness on Izuku's chest.

It was smaller, it was way smaller and he could practically see it going away.

A smile graced his features as he continued to undress the boy until he was down into his boxers. The blackened veins on Izuku's body were all gone.

Izuku was healing right in front of his eyes. Bakugo fought back a cry of happiness, laying next to a Izuku and pulling him into his chest. "Oh, I'm so fucking glad.." he whispered. Bakugo usually was horrible and expressing himself, but recently he learned..

Izuku taught him.

Izuku woke up before Bakugo that morning, yawning as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Looking down to the blond that was asleep peacefully for the first time in weeks, holding onto his waist. Izuku looked down to Bakugo's arms and went to pull them off so he could go get breakfast, but he caught a glimpse of his chest. His hand flew up and patted his chest. It didn't hurt. He looked over his arms and the black veins and bruises were gone. Tears pricked his eyes and he shook Bakugo awake.

"Kacchan! Kacchan! Wake up!" He said, suddenly full of energy. Way more than he had for the past two months. "Kacchan! It's gone!" He exclaimed, tears slipping down his face and onto Bakugo's.

Bakugo woke up, looking at Izuku with hazy vision "What is, nerd?.." Katsuki asked.

"The quirk!"

Bakugo's eyes flew open again and he looked at Izuku who was bawling his eyes out in happy tears.

It hadn't been all gone the night before, but slowly fading so he knew Izuku might not have had it on his chest this morning.

"Wanna make a early doctors visit?" Bakugo asked, sitting up, "To make sure?"

Didn't take very much convincing with Izuku on that one this time. Bakugo took him to the doctors and the nurse was happy to see the greenette happy and excited about what had happened.

She showed them X-Ray scans where the darkness was completely gone from Izuku's body and asked multiple questions.

"So, what did you do to make it go away?"

Izuku shrugged, "I didn't do anything...we watched fireworks last night and...." He trailed off, his face heating up.

"I kissed him." Bakugo stated. The nurse looked at Bakugo and raised a brow, "But aren't you two already dating?"

Bakugo's eyes flew wide and he cackled, "You thought that this whole time!?" He exclaimed.

Izuku pouted towards Bakugo who immediately stopped with his manic laughter when he saw it. "No,...we weren't." Izuku spoke to her maturely.

Bakugo looked at Izuku and then to the nurse again, "Think all it needed was a kiss?" He asked.

"Well,..it kept getting worse the more depressed Midoriya got.." she mumbled to Katsuki and Izuku.

"The happiness killed it...." Izuku whispered quietly. "It's a quirk that feeds on depression and anxiety! That's it! The way to get rid of it is happiness!" Izuku exclaimed excitedly.

Bakugo raised a brow, "You were that happy?"

"Weren't you?" Izuku asked back.

Bakugo pursed his lips and looked away, his face flushed. "Yes..Now shut the fuck up and pay attention." Bakugo mumbled, making Izuku laugh silently at how flustered the blond became.

"Ah, I see....thank you, for letting me know. Though, wouldn't it have been going away from the kids you see after our visits on sundays?" The nurse asked.

Izuku scratched the back of his neck. "Maybe it's not just happiness......" he trailed off and looked to Katsuki before flushing and looking away.

But lust for that person too..

When they got home, Bakugo straight flopped on the bed in exhaustion, "You won't ever catch me on that couch again."

"Oh yeah?" Izuku asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. "We'll see." He knew he would kick Bakugo to the couch the moment the blond would annoy him.

"I'm so glad I can go back to Hero Work.." Izuku whispered, smiling to himself as he plopped back beside Bakugo.

Bakugo sighed, "Guess I can't keep your #1 spot warm for you now, huh?.." he asked with a fake pout. Izuku looked to the blond and laughed.

"I thought you were joking.." he whispered, then smiled before sitting up and leaning over the blond.

"Of course not." Bakugo said, looking up to Midoriya who hovered above him. Bakugo's arms behind his head.

"I love you..." Izuku whispered out of nowhere, catching Bakugo's attention.

The blond's heart picked up pace and he reached up a hand to cup Izuku's cheek, pulling him down for a soft kiss. One he, oh so, missed from last night.

When they pulled away, their foreheads met. Bakugo's panting turned into a soft whisper,

"I love you too, Izuku.."
