Something Just Like This [IzukuxReader]

Scare [4/20]

To say you were scared was an understatement.

Hearing about the attack on the USJ made you absolutely terrified, especially when you heard that it was Class 1-A that was attacked by a new group called The League of Villains. You had been working on a project in your classroom when the news made it to the rest of the school, but you had been so engrossed at first that you didn't pay much attention. Until Mei Hatsume tapped you on the shoulder.

"Hey, (Y/N)...your boyfriend is in Class 1-A, yeah?"

"Mm-hm! Sure is! ...why?"

When Mei finished explaining what happened, your face went pale and you made the move to run out of the classroom to the infirmary (you just had this sinking feeling that Izuku was there), but your teacher stopped you. None of the other classes were allowed to leave their classrooms yet, and the students of Class 1-A who hadn't been badly injured were currently in their room, waiting for family or other guardians to pick them up because it was deemed too unsafe for them to take their normal routes home.

"But...but sensei, my boyfriend! And, and my other friends!!"

Your teacher held up a hand to stop you. "Nineteen of the Class 1-A students are fine, they have very minor injuries. Izuku Midoriya was the one injured the worst, but Recovery Girl has taken care of his injuries. His mother has already taken him home. Your father just called and said he'll be here in a few minutes. So please, go back to your seat until I call you."

You almost protested again, before realizing that if Izuku had been sent home already, he had to be fine. They wouldn't have let him go if he wasn't. So, you nodded, turning around and going back to your seat. You entertained the idea of sending him a text to make sure he was ok, but decided you would call him when you got home. Mei tried to cheer you up and talked to you while you waited for your dad to pick you up, but your mind was busy thinking of other things.

Izuku...

+!+

"Ah...dad, this isn't our house...why are you stopping?"

Your dad smiles, looking over at the apartment building that he had stopped in front of, nodding.

"I know, (Y/N)."

You were very confused, just watching him before looking and seeing exactly where you were and it made your eyes light up, your cheeks blush pink, and your emotions go wild for a moment.

Your dad hadn't gone straight home, he took you to the apartment building Izuku lived in. He knew it was odd for you to be quiet during a drive home with him, usually you were talking about anything and everything that was happening at school, but you were so quiet and just staring at your darkened phone screen that he knew exactly what you wanted.

You wanted to go see Izuku and make sure he was ok. You wanted to talk to him and just know that he wasn't badly injured.

But instead of jumping up and running inside, you just sit there and stare at the building for a moment, before looking back to your lap and biting your lip.

"Dad—"

"He's gonna want to see you as much you want to see him. I know they didn't let you go see him while you were still on campus, and that he had already left before I got there to pick you up...go see him and I'll come get you when you call, all right?"

After a moment, you nod and quickly get out of the car, running into the building and up the stairs until you reach the apartment Izuku shared with his mother, knocking on the door lightly and waiting for it to open.

You aren't at all surprised to see Inko open the door, knowing Izuku must have been in his room or on the couch resting after everything that had happened that day.

"Oh, (Y/N)!"'

You smile and say "Hi, Mrs. Midoriya...c-can I see Izuku?"

"Of course! Izuku! (Y/N) is here!"

"Wh-what?!"

You very quickly make your way inside the small apartment and, as you thought, Izuku was on the couch and looks very surprised to see you there. His left hand is bandaged up and he looks exhausted, but other than that, he seems perfectly fine, to your relief and joy.

"(Y-Y/N)-chan, what are you—"

Izuku doesn't get the chance to finish his question before you hug him so tightly that he forgot what he even wanted to say. You were silent and he looks at you for a moment, before looking to his mom who smiles and dismisses herself quietly. A few seconds later, he returns your hug, and you both are quiet.

"(Y/N)-chan..."

You bite your lip again and whisper "I got so scared hearing your class had been attacked..."

Oh is all Izuku can think. You were scared for him, that's what this was about. You were worried that you were going to lose your best friend, your boyfriend; you were afraid that his injuries were worse than they had ever been.

Izuku is half-surprised when you start to cry, but it makes him feel bad all the same. He doesn't like to make anyone worry over him, and the fact that you and his mother had both cried over him and the events that happened in one day made him awful for making you both worry.

He just lets you hug him and cry for a moment, before moving so you can see each other's face and Izuku has this sweet smile on his face as he tries to wipe your tears away.

"I'm ok. See? Everything's fine."

Seeing his smile and hearing him tell you that, something he's told you several other times before, makes your heart jump and your tears come even faster.

"I-I just..."

"I know."

"I worry about you..."

"I know that too."

It must be so much easier for Izuku, you think. You worry about him, but there's almost no reason for him to worry about you. You're in the support course, you're not trying to become a hero anymore. You're much safer than he is.

It's hard, you think, but still, you wouldn't trade this relationship with him for anything, even with your constant worrying about him. You knew this was going to happen when you two enrolled in UA and you learned Izuku had a Quirk that he was still learning to control.

This was going to be your life for as long as you two were together, you knew that.

But it wouldn't stop you from worrying. Knowing him for so long and being his girlfriend wouldn't change that.

So, you hug him again, Izuku returning it right away, and just cry for a few more minutes, trying to think through everything and calm yourself. Even once you've calmed down, you still hug him, not wanting to let go because you're still worried and a bit scared, even though you know everything is ok.

"Izuku..."

"Mm-hm?"

"I love you..."

You're not looking at him, but you're sure Izuku's face is bright red now. You two had told each other numerous times that you loved each other, but that was before you started your relationship. That was when you were still just friends and loved each other as friends.

But even so, you knew exactly how you felt, and feeling him hug you tighter reassures you that he feels the same before he even says a word.

"I-I love you too..."
