Something Just Like This [IzukuxReader]

Reassure [16/20]

*poke*

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

*poke*

"Yes Izuku?"

*poke*

"...why are you poking my arm?"

You stopped before poking your boyfriend again, smiling sheepishly and giggling a little.

"Your scar...it's...interesting, I guess."

"A-Ah...is that so...?"

Izuku quickly pulled down the sleeve of his jacket with a nervous blush on his face, making you frown and pout a bit while sitting up properly. You figured he was going to be self-conscious about the new markings on his arms from the dangerous overuse of his Quirk while protecting a child named Kota, but you didn't think it would cause him to cover it up around you like he just had. You didn't think there was anything wrong or weird with the scar honestly.

It was pretty cool to you, actually. It gave him a story he could tell your future children one day, about how their dad risked his life to protect someone.

"You know~ scars are pretty cool."

"Not if they cover such a large space..."

Hearing Izuku's comment makes you frown again with a huff. You really did hate hearing him say that, knowing he thought you probably thought it was gross or scary.

"Hey, Izu."

"Yeah?"

"Wanna see something?"

"...sure?"

You nod and make sure Izuku is looking at you, before turning enough that he can see your back and you pull your shirt up high enough that that he can see right below your bra strap and no higher.

"WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING."

"Oh calm down, sweetie, just look."

Izuku had quickly covered his eyes and turned away with a bright red blush when he noticed you were pulling up your shirt, but then very quickly peeked through his fingers to look, and it caused him to remove his hands and just stare.

"...what?"

There was a scar on your back that started from about midway and stopped about an inch or so above the top of your skirt.

No wonder you always wore school issued swimsuits or tankinis when you went swimming. You probably didn't want anyone to see that, nor did you want to explain what it was from. Though, of course, now knowing it was there made Izuku want to question you on it.

"When...where..."

"Remember when I wasn't around for summer break when we were nine? I...got into a really bad car wreck with my cousin...he hadn't had his license very long but my parents trusted him. We got hit by someone who wasn't paying attention. My back got really messed up and I had to have surgery. I spent that summer in physical therapy to get back to where I was so I could be back in school in the fall."

Izuku just quietly watched as you fixed your shirt, leaning back against the couch and giving him a smile, telling him you were ok. He took your hand in his, following suit in leaning against the couch, looking up at the ceiling.

"I...had no idea..."

"No one did. You're the first person I've ever told..."

"It explains why you were never around after school that year."
