My Sword Is Yours

Chapter 21: The Pain Of A Broken Heart

3rd person pov:

Izuku takes care of Bakugou in his free time. From sponge baths, dressing wounds, and even giving him his medicine while the warrior slept for five days. Food was broth made from meat and vegetables. So, it was a slow process to administer. Yet even so. The emperor was patient and never once complained. As it was the only time he felt happy. After he would leave the room. Mic and Edgeshot would advise him on who he should take as a political marriage partner. Yet even so. Him mind was with worry, and too distracted to retain anything.

On day six. Bakugou woke up to see that the moon was high.

Baku:"Night?"^How long was I asleep?^

The pain of his wound causes Bakugou to realize how bad his injury is.

Baku:^Shit. Looks like I'm useless for awhile."

*nnh*

The sound startles Bakugou. Causing him to jolt and attempt to sit up. Only for a wave of pain to force him back down. So he looks to his sides. That's when he sees izuku laying his head on his crossed arms that lay upon Bakugou's bed. He's sound asleep and appears to be resting.

The blonde male reaches to pat izuku's head. Only to stop just short of making contact with a single hair.

Baku:"Damnit. Oi deku!"

Izuku lifts his head with heavy eyes. With a few blinks, the emperor realizes that the warrior has awoken.

Eyes bounce open and with a hug. Izuku is over joyed to see the sight of those crimson eyes once more.

Izu:"I'm so glad that you're awake.-"

Bakugou presses his hand against Izuku's forehead.

Baku:"Get proper rest in your room before you catch a fever. You don't have to take care of me. That's what a doctor is for."

Izu:"Yes, but i-"

Baku:"No excuses!"

Bakugou points to the door. So izuku smiles and stands up.

Izu:"Okay, I'll go. Only if you promise me that you won't get up for at least another week. Doctor's orders were for you to be on bed rest for two weeks for your wound to heal."

Baku:"tch."

With a wave of his hand. Izuku knows that he'll be alright.

Izuku leaves the room to inform the doctor. While bakugou is surprised to find out that he's been asleep for days.

Baku:"Idiot. You can't put your health in danger for a servant."

Kirishima is at the door and was easdropping.

Kiri:"The young lord cares about everyone. It wouldn't be his first fever. That's why I gave him medication when you didn't wake up after the first day.  He's only left your side for preparation of the ball coming up. He took care of you the entire time. If he ate, it was by your side as he fed you."

Baku:"He's a foolish leader."

Bakugou looks away from Kirishima.

Baku:"So what's the ball for?"

Kiri:"It's for our lord to find a wife."

Kirishima's smile fades as he spoke, because he didn't want to lie to him."

Baku:"I see. ^So that's why he was by my side so much.^

Bakugou waves for kirishima to leave the room. Once alone. Bakugou grabs a cup off the side table and throws it at the wall. Only to whince in pain afterwards.
