OUR NO.1 LOVE (COMPLETE STORY)

Chapter 8:(Affection)

Chapter 8:

Midnight.........

The house is silent, with the faint hum of the TV still playing in the background. Izuku slowly stirs awake on the couch, blinking sleepily as he takes in his surroundings.

As his eyes adjust, he realizes that Bakugo and Todoroki are asleep on either side of him, their heads resting close to his. He feels their warmth, both of them having fallen asleep next to him without him realizing it.

(Izuku softly, smiling): They really stayed with me..."

He glances around the living room, noticing how clean and organized everything is. His katsudon bowl and the chocolate wrappers are gone, and the mess he left before falling asleep has been tidied up.

Bakugo and Todoroki must have taken care of it all while he was sleeping.

(Izuku whispering to himself): They didn't have to do that..."

Feeling a surge of warmth and appreciation, Izuku carefully tries to slip out from between them. As he does, he pauses for a moment, looking at both of their sleeping faces.

The usual tough and serious expressions they wear are gone, replaced by something softer in their sleep. A small, affectionate smile tugs at the corner of Izuku's lips.

(Izuku whispering): You guys are really something..."

With a gentle touch, he leans down and plants a soft kiss on Todoroki's forehead, then Bakugo's. He lingers for just a second, feeling the affection swell in his chest before carefully standing up. Neither of them stir too much, but they shift slightly, feeling his absence in their sleep.

Izuku quietly makes his way to his bedroom, glancing back at them one last time before slipping away.

Unbeknownst to him, both Bakugo and Todoroki slowly open their eyes, just in time to catch him leaving the room. Their hearts race as they realize what just happened.

(Todoroki blushing): Did he... kiss us?"

(Bakugo grumbling, also blushing): Tch... damn nerd... now I'm awake."

Despite his gruff words, Bakugo's face is flushed, and he can't hide the slight smile tugging at his lips. Todoroki rubs his forehead, feeling the lingering warmth of Izuku's kiss.

They both exchange a look, neither needing to say anything, but the feelings are clear between them. The affection they have for Izuku only grows stronger in that quiet moment.

(Todoroki softly): "He's so sweet... it's hard not to fall even more for him."

(Bakugo huffing but with affection in his tone): Yeah, well... don't get too comfortable. I'm still not losing to you."

(Todoroki smirking): "We'll see about that."

Despite the rivalry between them, the shared moment softens the atmosphere, and they both settle back into their spots.

Bakugo and Todoroki, each lost in their own thoughts about Izuku, silently promised to take even better care of him from now on.

(Bakugo muttering to himself): "Stupid nerd... always making things complicated."

(Todoroki chuckling softly) "Complicated... but worth it....."

Next morning, the sun streams through the windows as Bakugo and Todoroki wake up in their shared home.
