What do you do when you don't get better?

It was difficult to watch him sit in that hospital bed and try to convince you that he wasn't sad.

"I'm fine Y/n! See, once Eri gets to control her quirk, we'll be able to get it back and I can be out of here good as new." He stood shaking, his legs weak from trauma and the stress of holding up his dense muscular body. You took a step forward and sat down on the hospital bed, patting a space next to you. He sighed and obliged, his head falling on your shoulder as he relaxed. Before long, your hands were entwined in his hair and rubbing his back as he shuddered from tears.

"I'm so sorry, I wish I could've been more careful, I wish I could've saved Nighteye, I wasn't strong enough, and I never will be." Tears trickled down his face and onto your finger, which wiped them away as if they weren't there.

"If she never controls it, I will be quirkless, and I can't be a hero, I can't provide for you, I can't be worthy of you." His arms wrapped around you, but they were not loving, they were clinging for dear life. You sat there with him reassuring him, "You are more than enough Togota, I don't love you for your quirk, I love you. I love your smile, so even if you don't have powers, smile, that is the greatest power you have."

Strong arms get too, get too weak to hold her
Oh God, give me just enough strength to make it through

You came back two days later, a week before his official discharge. He ran at you and instinctively you ran at him jumping into his arms. He could stand and was doing much better but you could feel him straining to keep you hovering above the ground in his arms. He tried to nonchalantly set you down, but it was more hurried and clumsier, his legs began to give out.

"Well then, guess I am not ready to hold you yet." He chuckled to cover his insecurity. You smiled back reassuringly and led him back to his desk at the window where he was catching up on schoolwork. The view was beautiful, but you would trade it and anything else to keep the man next to you smiling at the sun that illuminated his face.

Sleepless, this madness is walking me out to the ledge
And stands there beside me, shivering out on the edge

"Where am I?" You awoke suddenly, your jacket draped upon you and the bench you laid upon. Snow white walls reminded you of your location. Static charged your hair to poof up a little bit and a chuckle came from the hospital bed where Mirio sat just looking out the window.

"You're adorable." Was all he could say.

"Mirio, what time is-" The analog clock on his desk showed 3:47 am, "What are you doing up so late?"

"Oh, you know, just couldn't sleep." His response had no flavor of emotion at all, there was more to his words.

"How much have you slept the last three days?" You inquired.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does, if you want to recover and get back to school, you have to sleep."

"5 Hours."

"My god."

"How could I? Every time I go to sleep I see him impaled there, his blood spilled to protect me and Eri, to get us out of there alive when there were so many other good things he could do. I hear Eri's screams and her terrified face call out to me. I see the villain hordes attack me and laugh at me. 'You're worthless!' they say. 'Where is the great Lemillion now!" they taunt. I can't rest my eyes for too long or I'm tortured with a fate worse than death." Stunned silence filled your mind, the hum of machines was only enough to drown out the silent tears of your boyfriend.

And oh God all I, all I ask is a little relief, just a moment of peace

"I just want everyone to be happy, to be calm, to be at peace. I want Nighteye alive. I want Eri to have a loving home, I want you to find someone who can take care of you. Someone who isn't ready to die the moment anyone is out of sight."

I don't want to live without you
I'm not ready to live without you

"And I'm not ready to EVER live without you, so don't leave me, because where you go, I'll follow, even the darkest depths of death." He sat deadpanned.

"Well, we don't have long then. The remaining effects are turning back my bodily functions slowly, in 5 months I...I am going to die."

So let's dance a little,

You grabbed his hands and pulled him up. "Then lets dance, our first dance since we will never see our wedding day. He obliged your request, and there you were dancing in a hospital room, the moonlight painting your skins a shimmering halo of peace.

laugh a little,

Love was a funny thing. It had been three months, and still no one knew about your promise to Mirio, but you were both being more reckless and together more often. People would tell you two to get a room, you would fake a knowing look of reminiscence at each other and go back to the conversation leaving the other person horrified. It was your little joke on a life that would never allow you two to be happy together.

and hope a little more

"Well," The doctor started, "As much as I wish I could say that she has made enough progress to try, it is not even close. It is astonishing what her power can do, but to try and go back months, she would easily cause a massive energy surge reverting all material back to its original state as of 5 months ago if she tried." He admitted, "I'm so sorry, but you have one week left." But he noticed that the two of you were strangely okay with this.

"Oh, well then, thanks doc!" You two left his office for the last time.

'Cause I don't want to live without you, without you

"Here lies Togota Mirio

Hero among hero

Son among Sons

Friend among friends

Life to remember

A million years later

July 15, 2313 to July 14, 2331"

"Here lies Y/n L/n

A flower that will be missed

She lived

She laughed

She Loved

She will be missed

Y/B/D, 2313 to July 14, 2331"
