My Hero Oneshots

Let's Go Home 🍋

A/N 🎄 Fourth day of Christmas 💘

My heart is pounding. I can't move my legs at all but I can still reach up but my hand only finds the smooth flesh of my skin under the worn fabric of my clothes. Why? 

*Gasp* *Cough* 

My breathing is shuddering, short, uneven, shallow. Why? Pain radiated through me again this time though I dropped to my knees, easily bruising them but I can't even pay any attention to that. Why is it so hot? I feel like I'm being baked alive and I'm covered in sweat. What the hell happened? It's the middle of winter! 

No, I need to calm down. I'm inside the gym so I need to think. Am I near the sauna maybe? I didn't think so but if I am, this is dangerous. The heat shouldn't be leaking out like this! 

“Kacchan?” I looked up to see Deku standing in the doorway with a towel around his neck but he looked fine. “Oh, you must have run into Sauna-san at reception. But that's odd, she doesn't usually use her quirk unless you're ready and will be laying down,” he kept chatting away but I can barely keep my eyes open, forget listening. I could feel myself gasping for air but I just don't have the energy to actually say anything. What the fuck is he even talking about? I didn't agree to let anyone use their quirk on me! Did I? 

At this point I'm sitting against the wall barely holding onto a guardrail and when I lean my head against the cool surface he finally seemed to understand that I wasn't okay. 

“Kacchan?” He asked and I saw him hesitate while reaching for me but my body feels like lead, far too heavy to move if I could help it. Then the most amazing thing happened. He touched me. The coolness against my cheek helped me breathe and when I felt him starting to pull away I grabbed him. I don't even remember doing it, only that the thought of him pulling away and leaving me to bake was excruciating. 

“Hey, it's okay. Everything's going to be okay,” he whispered and I barely nodded but I didn't let him go. “I'll call headquarters, I'm not going anywhere,” he added but I just closed my eyes not willing to let him go but he didn't make me either. I could hear his sweet voice even if I couldn't focus enough on it to actually listen to what he was saying, I at least knew he was there. 

The heat radiated through me, my heart feels like it's barely keeping up and my lungs feel like they are going to explode thanks to the far too hot air inside of them. No matter how fast I breathe the air is just cooking me so I try to slow down instead. That only made it worse. My gasping was sharp even to my ears, the way they grated on my nerves would have been maddening if not for the fact that it was me I probably would have hit someone. 

“Kacchan?” I forced my eyes open to see the gym nurse looking at me horrified with Deku gently smiling at me. “Kacchan, the nurse told me that Sauna-san isn't here today. Do you remember anyone using their quirk on you?” I forced myself to shake my head no and he frowned. “Alright, I need to take you to the hospital then. Will it be okay to skip your coat and things?” This time I nodded and that made him frown even more. 

He kneeled beside me and took his hand away making me gasp at the pain that soon followed only to sigh out in relief when he picked me up again. One arm behind my back and the other behind my legs but his arms were bare and even though only my legs were bare his cool relief hit hard. I can breathe. 

I can really fucking breathe! I would have snapped at him if I wasn't so exhausted. I did however let out a groan and leaned my head on his shoulder only to find more relief. My eyes closed, I just couldn't focus anymore. How did this happen? What is wrong with me? Why did it have to be Deku that found me?

My eyes snapped open while my body fought me, refusing to let me breathe at all. My chest is tight, it feels heavy, all of me feels heavy. What the fuck? No wait, I must have fallen asleep but why did I wake up like that? Air! No, I still can't breathe. The lights are bright and I know it's doctors and nurses surrounding me but still I can't focus on any of them at all. Deku. Where is Deku? He brought me here didn't he? He must have been doing something to ease this pain, this heat. Fuck, I feel like I'm melting.
