A few hours or 8 rounds later
As we laid in bed, the warmth of her body against mine, Nemuri rested her head on my chest, her fingers tracing small patterns on my skin. The room was quiet, save for the sound of our breathing. I was still processing everything that had just happened, my mind replaying the moments we'd just shared. It felt surreal, like a dream I didn't want to wake up from.
She shifted slightly, her hair brushing against me as she lifted her head to meet my gaze.
Nemuri:So, how was it?
she asked softly, her voice carrying a teasing lilt, but there was an underlying sincerity in her question.
I blushed slightly, a soft chuckle escaping my lips.
Izuku:It felt... amazing
I admitted, my heart pounding in my chest.
Izuku:Honestly, I really want to do it again
I added, a bit sheepishly.
Nemuri's lips curled into a small smile, her eyes twinkling with amusement, but there was something else behind them, something deeper. She rested her head back down on my chest for a moment, her breath warm against my skin. Then, she spoke again, her tone more serious this time.
Nemuri:Izuku... can I tell you something?
I immediately sensed a shift in her mood, and I looked down at her, my brows furrowing slightly in concern.
Izuku:What's wrong?
I asked, searching her face for an answer.
She bit her lip, seeming hesitant, as though trying to find the right words.
Nemuri:i'm sorry
she said quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.
My confusion deepened. "For what?" I asked softly, my mind racing as I tried to figure out where this was coming from. Had I done something wrong?
Nemuri lifted her head again, this time fully meeting my gaze. Her eyes were glistening, emotion welling up inside of her as she spoke.
Nemuri:for being a liar. For... not being honest with you from the start
she began, her words coming out slowly, almost as though they were difficult for her to say.
I frowned, unsure of what she meant.
Izuku:What do you mean?
I asked gently.
She sighed softly, her fingers still tracing absent patterns on my chest.
Nemuri: I don't really know why I got so close to you in the beginning
she admitted.
Nemuri:During that first outing we had together in green is midnight when I kissed you and you asked me what we were, I... I said what I said because I thought it would help you. I thought it would heal you. I didn't really think about how far things would go.
Her voice wavered, and she looked away, guilt evident in her expression.
Nemuri: I was selfish. I wanted to be the one to help you, and at first, that was all it was. But then... I started to actually like you. Really like you.
I blinked, taken aback by her words. I could hear the sincerity, the regret in her voice, and it made my heart ache.
Izuku:Nemuri, you didn't...
I started, but she shook her head, cutting me off.
Nemuri:I thought that maybe you would get over me once you got closer to the girls in your class
