Her Ronin

Helping Her Ronin!

    Momo was woken up by screams of terror in the night. Leaping off the bed, she raced to Izuku's room and saw him thrashing violently as he cried out several names. Shaking her head, she ran to his side and shook him awake. He woke with a start as he was covered in sweat and breathing hard. His wounds have reopened, and he froze, looking at her terrified expression.

   "S-Sorry Yaoyorozu...d-did I w-wake you?" He asked as he started to catch his breath. She nodded as she sat on the edge of his bed. "You need not apologize, Sanada-san. Are you alright?" She asked, worried for her newfound ally. He sighed as he sat up. He shook his head before he spoke quietly. "Not at all. I had to watch my comrades die over and over again. No matter what I did, I could not save them." He said before wincing in pain again.

    Momo turned his light on before asking him to remove his shirt. When he did, she groaned. Every wound had torn itself open again. "That's not good. We need to redress your bandages." She said as he apologized again. She smiled softly to him before heading into the bath to grab some water and soap. She created a large first aid kit and stepped back out as he looked lost in thought.

   "You don't have to apologize, Sanada-san." She said softly as she helped him get laid on the floor to better clean his injuries. "But I n-not only woke y-you up. I reopened all my w-wounds. It's not right to make you work harder to help me." He said through heavy breaths. She bopped him on the nose. "You stop right there, mister. Yes, I may have to work harder, but I don't mind. You need help, and I have the ability to help you. This is merely a small setback but one that can help both of us. I can better treat your injuries now with you awake than before. As well it gives you time to relax. Don't be upset over something beyond our control." She said as she smiled and began to clean and redress his wounds.

    To her surprise, even as painful as it must have been, he barely responded to the treatment. "I owe you more than I can ever repay. In my world, I had so few to ever rely on. If we got injured, we had to treat the wounds ourselves. Oftentimes, we left our injuries untreated because we had no safe place to treat them. I just feel bad that I interrupted your sleep over something as foolish as night terrors." He said with measured breaths.

   She was blushing when she bandaged certain places but smiled and shook her head. "You know Sanada-san, from what you have told me, you having nightmares is a blessing. It shows how much you cherished your allies. If you could watch them die over and over again without feeling an ounce of regret or sorrow, then it'd show you're not a good person." She said as she finished dressing his injuries. He bowed slightly as he sat up slowly.

    "I guess so. Thank you very much for all the help, Miss Yaoyorozu." He said with a small smile. She shrugged and looked to his bed as she bit her lip. "Umm, are you gonna be able to sleep, Sanada-san?" He shrugged and sighed. "I don't know. I may just lay down and relax, but I doubt I could sleep." Momo felt sad about that before taking a deep breath and reaching out, grabbing his arm. "Then I have an idea." She said as she moved his arm over her shoulder and helped him up. In doing so, she made the boy blush and slap his hand over his eyes. Confusing the heiress.

   "Are you okay?" She asked, and he pointed to her top with his eyes shut.  Looking down, she went crimson. Forgetting she had slept in a tank top and shorts, she had given him a good view of her cleavage. She sighed. "Uhh, don't worry bout it. Heh. Anyway you're coming with me." She said slowly, leading him to her room, making him blush even more. "Umm, M-Miss Y-Yaoyorozu, what's h-happening?" He asked flustered as she smiled softly.

    "Simple. You're lying down in bed with me. This way, I can help you keep thrashing around so much, and you may even get to sleep." Making the powerful warrior squeak in embarrassment. "B-But it's not r-right. I'm a b-boy, you know? Besides, uhh, I umm never s-slept next to a g-girl before." He said at near light speed, making her giggle. "Hehe. Relax. Yes, I have noticed I'm a girl, and you're a boy. Never slept next to a boy either, but this is to help you, Sanada-san. Just uh, try not to get handsy, yeah?" She said as she helped him sit on the edge of her bed.
