Chapter 10: Untold Feelings

Sunlight peered through the window, engraving everyone in the warm feeling of the sun. Tsuki, being the first to wake up, slowly opened her eyes. As she hummed softly, rubbing her eyes a bit, she heard... a heartbeat...? "Mmph..?" Tsuki groaned out, lifting her head a bit and looking towards the source of the sound.

"I-Izuku..?" She stuttered out, noticing she was laying down with Izuku on half of the bed, her head on his chest. His arms were snaked around her, holding her against him. He looked adorable... 

Izuku was still fast asleep, his breathing steady and calm. His arms were wrapped protectively around Tsuki, holding her close to him. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and a content look was etched on his face.

His chest rose and fell with each breath, creating a gentle rhythm that soothed Tsuki's ears. The sunlight streaming in through the window casting a warm glow over the two of them, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.

As Tsuki took in the scene, a mixture of surprise and contentment washed over her. She hadn't expected to wake up in this position, cradled against Izuku's chest. But the warmth and security of his arms around her felt oddly right, as if she belonged there.

She looked up at his sleep-relaxed face, admiring his features and the peaceful expression on his face. The early morning light emphasized his soft, messy hair, and the steady thudding of his heartbeat created a soothing rhythm that made her heart flutter.

Tsuki gently moved closer to Izuku, pressing herself against his chest. She wrapped her arm around his waist, relishing in the comforting warmth of his embrace. The rise and fall of his breaths were soothing, and she felt a strange sense of safety and security being held in his arms.

She continued to watch him sleep, admiring the way the sunlight played across his features. The feeling of his arms wrapped around her was like a silent promise, a protective and gentle gesture that spoke louder than words.

After a few moments, Izuku opened his eyes, slowly. He groaned as he shifted a bit, feeling the weight of something on his chest, causing him to look down. 
As he saw Tsuki cuddled up to him, he froze.
Beginning to internally freak out, his face became as red as a strawberry, stuttering as he tried to talk.
"T-Ts-Tsuki? W-What? I-..." He stopped talking, becoming a flustered mess.

Tsuki noticed Izuku's sudden stiffness and the redness that bloomed on his cheeks. His stuttering and flustered reaction to seeing her cuddled against him sent a wave of affectionate amusement through her.

She looked up at him, meeting his wide, startled eyes, and a small smile tugged at her lips. She couldn't help but find his nervousness endearing, a stark contrast to his usual confident demeanor as a hero-in-training, unless he truly had a reason to be nervous, like now.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," she chimed, her voice a mixture of playfulness and affection.

Izuku's mind was racing, his heart pounding in his chest as he took in Tsuki's closeness and her calm demeanor. He tried to find his words, but all that came out were incoherent stutters and fragmented thoughts.

He looked down at her, his eyes wide with surprise and a hint of anxiety, his brain struggling to process the situation. He attempted to speak again, but only managed to let out a strangled sound as he tried to regain his composure.

Seeing his flustered state, Tsuki couldn't help but giggle softly, her laughter muffled against his chest. She shifted, moving her head to look up at him with a mixture of amusement and affection in her eyes.

Her hand gently traced a soothing path along his arm, as if trying to ease his nervous energy.

"You don't have to panic, you know," she teased, a hint of a playful smile on her lips. "It's just me, dummy."
