The sound of your alarm blaring wakes you up to your mundane life with the usual morning routine. However, just as you were about to leave for the hospital, the small shine of the plastic ring in the sunlight catches your eyes, halting you in your step.

'I'm still here and I'm not leaving. I want you to wear that necklace so everyone knows you're my wife'

The voice of Katsuki from last night echoes through your head as you contemplate wearing the necklace. Nothing but a deep sigh escapes as you shake your head and leave for the day.

It was already time for lunch break which means going up to the roof to have your after lunch cigarette. The morning so far has felt slow as ever which funnily enough is ironic considering how patients seem never ending. The busyness of the day wasn't enough to make you forget about coming to terms with your feelings for Katsuki.

Suddenly the shock of Shinso sneaking up and scaring you from behind snaps you out of your dreary thoughts.

"Fucking hell you scared me!" Slapping his arm as hard as you could

"Ow!" Shinso laughs rubbing his arm, "for a doctor, you do like to inflict a lot of pain" he jokes earning nothing but an eye roll.

"Whatever" you scoff, "you shouldn't be sneaking up on people anyways, what if I pull a Dazai and just jumped off this building??" raising an eyebrow at him

"That's not funny" he frowns at your joke, "You seemed down so I did what every good friend does" he shrugs before placing his cigarette between his lips, "what's the matter with you anyways?" He asks patting his pockets for his lighter to which you just hand him yours, "thanks" he puffs out a cloud of smoke

You inhaled from your own stick as a way to build up courage, "I think I like Katsuki" you blurted out

"Well no shit" Shinso seemed unaffected by your answer, "so what now? You confessed and he said no or???"

"No, it's not like that" shaking your head at him, "he doesn't know and I don't plan on telling him, I'm already damaged goods and he deserves someone better" your voice trails off, "it's just sometimes.. he makes me feel special when I'm nothing more than a friend to him"

"Tell me about it" Shinso scoffs hinting at the feelings he's had for you since your university days, "but hey, wouldn't it be better telling him your feelings to get rejected and finally having the closure to move on rather than suffering?" He spoke hypocritically considering he couldn't even bring himself to do that at the thought of ruining what you have now.

"I don't want things to be weird between us" — exactly what Shinso thought, "I'll be okay"

"Well.. for the record, you're not damaged goods, you're a person whose been through a lot of pain but you're not condemned to be in constant suffering, there's someone out there for you" Shinso pats your shoulder, "and if ever you can't find that person, I'll be here as your last option" He halfheartedly jokes before leaving you again — who knew Shinso could be so wise? You thought to yourself

The long day shift was nearing its end as you walk back to the patient you were discharging. While flipping back and forth through the documents on the clipboard making sure all the paperwork was there, you bump into someone down the hall as the loud crash of the clipboard hitting the floor seemingly echoes all throughout the hallway.

"Oh! S-Sorry!" The familiar voice trembles as you both crouch down to pick up the clipboard.

The man's gloved hands grab the clipboard before you could, "It's okay" you finally look up to be met with the green haired guy with freckles. His eyes much like your own widens with the realisation.

"Izuku?" You ask as the guy stands up

"y/n?" His voice still held some confusion as you nod with a smile. Immediately, both of you stand as you hug him.

"DORI!!" You yell as you hug him tighter

"y-y/n" he nervously puts his hands up as you back away laughing at his reaction

"You still get nervous around girls?" You tease him as he chuckles rubbing the back of his neck, "how are you!? What are you doing here!?" You squeal from excitement from seeing your old friend.

"I-I'm good hahha" he laughs nervously once more, "I just finished with a mission so I have some minor cuts that had to be cleaned"

"Mission?" The pieces come together in your mind, "you're a hero now?! That means your quirk finally manifested!" You couldn't help but hug him again, "it's so nice to see you doing great things Dori!"

Eventually Midoriya let's put a soft sigh of defeat hugging you back, "it's nice seeing you too y/n"

"Izuku?" A female voice calls out to your friend as you break the hug to see a woman dressed in pink, "who is she? Why are you hugging her!?" The short haired brunette with a seemingly short temper starts to raise her voice.

"Ochaco, sweetheart" Midoriya goes to her side holding her hand to bring her closer to you, "don't be mad, this is y/n, one of my childhood friend" you smile at her as Midoriya'a introduction of you causes her whole demeanour to soften.

"Oh, I thought Bakugo was your only childhood friend?" The brunette asks with a raised brow

"Well growing up it was me, Kacchan and y/n but y/n moved away before middle school started plus she's always been closer to Kacchan than me" he rubs the back of his neck, "oh yeah!when'd you get back? And what are you doing here?" Midoriya asks feeling more comfortable

"What'd you mean I'm closer to Sparky!? We're the big 3!" You laugh "I moved back myself at 18 and studied medicine at Shiketsu University then I moved here four months ago as a doctor at the hospital" you smile pointing at your badge and obvious white coat.

"Shiketsu? One of my friends studied a semester there" Midoriya explains as you nod and smile knowing exactly who he was talking about

"Yep! Toshi briefly told me he went to University with you and sparky" beaming from ear to ear, "anyways I have to go to my next patient but ask the front desk for my number and details, I'd love to have a proper catch up when I'm not working"

"When do you finish?" Uraraka asks, "we can go out to that restaurant Mina keeps talking about, "I'd love to know more about Izuku as a kid and not from Bakugo" she rolls her eyes at the mention of Bakugo.

"I know that restaurant you're talking about, I finish in an hour, just doing my last rounds and discharging my patients, I can meet you guys there later if you're not too busy"

"Sure!" Nodding and waving goodbye at the cute couple feeling happy and content from meeting your old friend.

At last your shift was done, you happily hum while changing out of your uniform and slinging your bag on your shoulder. While making your way through the hall, the familiar outline of the spiky ash blonde leaning on the front desk catches your eye. Just the image of his back facing you made your heart skip a beat as you remember him cooking shirtless in your apartment.

"Katsuki?" You questioned the man as your voice catches his attention, making him turn around to face you. He was dressed in a tight fitting white shirt showcasing his muscular physique tucked into black pants — surprisingly he looked well put together.

"Hi wife"
