Catch Me If I Fall [BakuDeku]

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The dreadful sound of the heart monitor, beeping every second, reminded them that they were still alive. A sound they had hoped they wouldn't have to hear again for a long, long time. The doctors granted their mother's wishes to have them both in the same room, beds next to each other. Mitsuki didn't want a repeat of Katsuki's outburst once he woke up, and Inko knew how they needed each other's presence as they healed. Izuku had just gotten out of surgery, his body in a delicate yet stable condition.

Katsuki was in a much better shape than Izuku, his body resting on the hospital bed as it had been forced to go through such changes because of Eri's quirk. He looked calm, the usual crease between his brows gone as he slept. It was a rare sight, but it sure brought immense relief to their parents. Being able to witness such a huge weight being lifted off both teen's shoulders was something they had longed for. And now, with Inko back in the picture, it was the best thing ever.

A knock on the door had all three parents turn to the sound, All Might silently opened the door and set foot inside. "I apologize for interrupting, but I'm afraid the police would like to interrogate you, Inko."

The greenette gave an understanding nod, reluctantly stepping away from her place beside Izuku's bed. She gave a concerned look to Mitsuki, the blonde immediately understanding what that look meant. "Don't worry. I'll go get you the second he awakes. Ain't nobody stopping me."

That earned a small chuckle from the greenette, who gave her a grateful nod and stepped outside with Toshinori. Masaru placed a comforting hand on Mitsuki's shoulder, gazing at the door for a minute after Inko disappeared from view. It felt so surreal, every single event that transcended in the span of 48 hours, making him wonder just how their kids could handle it. He was genuinely concerned for the boy's mental health once they woke up. Especially Izuku's.

"How do you think Izuku will take everything? The poor boy has so many things to confront once he opens his eyes. How are we going to explain everything to him?" the male asked, squeezing Mitsuki's shoulders gently. The blonde placed a hand atop his, intertwining their fingers as she took a deep breath. Everyone was worried about Izuku's well-being and overall mental health. The poor teen had gone through so, so much in less than a year, and all they wanted to do was to shield him from any further danger.

"I don't know. I just hope that his mind will be able to process all this information. If not, then I'm afraid of what might happen to his mental health. It will be too much for him," Mitsuki frowned, blinking back tears. If the news fell on her like a brick wall, she couldn't even begin to imagine how it must be for him. Not only the news of his mother actually being alive but the fact that he also had to fight his father, who turned out to be All for One. And not only that but the dreaded fact that he might be quirkless again. It will be way too much for his mind to handle.

Another gentle knock on the door caught their attention, Recovery Girl now being the one to open the door and peek in. She then walked inside the room, closing the door behind her and silently walking towards the two teens. She read over each of their charts, giving a few small nods and looking over them. Her gaze lingered on Izuku for a bit, brows creasing in concern as she bit the inside of her cheek. She then turned her gaze to the concerned parents, who silently watched her do her job.

"They both seem to be recovering fairly well and should be able to go home in the next few days. Bakugo earlier than Izuku, of course. But we all know that they are joined to the hip, and Bakugo will throw a tantrum if you try to separate him from his beloved," she mocked, a pillow suddenly hitting the back of her head which had both parents snickering.

"Shut the fuck up, old lady," Katsuki croaked out, a wheeze leaving his mouth right after the moment Recovery Girl's walking stick hit him in the stomach.
