My hero

HEARTACHE

DEKU-* gets up from the porch, walks back into the house looks over at Nippers tank, walks over to her tank, smiles at all the shells she grew into, picks each one up, walks over to the sink, starts washing them, wiping my face with my shoulder, sets the shells on a towel to air dry, turns around feels a sharp pain in my hip*

"ACK!!" * moves a hand to my hip, lifts my shirt up, looks down, to see if I tore anything... but the bandage was still dry, pulls my shirt down, walks over to a cabinet, pulls out a small plate that I used to put Nippers fruits on, sets the shells on the plate, walks over to the window where she used to sit and look out the window, sets the plate down, looks out the window*

" for how small you were, this view was probably breathtaking for you" * smiles looks down at the shells, some of them were cracked but some of them were still new, walks over to the backdoor, standing in the doorway, cross my arms over my chest, watching Kacchan bury... well our first pet we ever had*

Bakugo: *starts sweat as he digs the hole, stops at 2 feet, stabs the shovel into the ground so it can stand up on its own, pulls the matchbox from his pocket, kneels down, holds the little box in both his hands, closes his eyes to mourn the loss of their first pet, head bows tears run down his face, opens his eyes, leans forward, sets the box in the middle of the hole, stands up slowly, grabs the shovel, starts putting the dirt back into the hole, wipes away tears with his arm, doesn't realize he's being watched*

Deku-*heart drops at Kacchan mourning over Nipper, walks over to him wraps my arms around his neck, looking down at the little grave*

"he's at peace now Kats....He's not suffering anymore" * removes my arms, grab his hand and the shovel walks back to the house, sets the shovel down on the table, sits down on the swing, looks over at Nippers little grave*

" flowers will bloom over his grave.... beautiful flowers" * looks over at kacchan, rest my head on his shoulder*

"someone is trying to break our wire Kacchan.... I don't know who it is...." * closes my eye, moves a hand to my hip*

"But this is a warning.... What's going to happen next" * dark thoughts fill my head*

"Will I be digging a grave.... for you?" * body shakes at the dark thought, pulls my head looks up at Kacchan*

" I-I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking... shit, I did it again... I was rambling, I am sorry" * gets up from the swing walks toward the back door*

Bakugo: *looks up when he feels arms wrap around him, smiles sadly down at Deku, wraps his arms loosely around Deku, walks with Deku by to the back porch, sits on the swing with him, arm around Deku's shoulders, looks out towards the grave he just dug for Nipper, smiles at the thought of flowers over her grave*

" Yeah, she'd like that..." *goes quiet, smile drops, looks up at the clouding sky, rests his head against Deku's head, glances down at Deku when he tells him what's on his mind, tenses slightly, pulls back as soon as Deku pulls away, looks down into his sad eyes, reaches up with his free hand, cups Deku's cheek*

" I'm going to make sure nothing happened to either of us." *looks up at Deku stands slowly, follows Deku back inside, makes sure to lock the door behind him, looks over at the forgotten soup on the counter now cold, stomach growls, sighs, walks over, picks the bowl up, starts eating the cold soup*

Deku-* goes upstairs to the bedroom, lays down on my back, pulls out my phone*

"Nipper wouldn't want you crying and depressed.... you know she would pinch my cheeks if she saw me crying" * Smiles at the memory, clicks on a book app, scroll through different books, until one catches my eye, trying to distract myself*
