Izuku and His Dragon Maid

Chapter 8-A Smashing Letter!

"I said that I was sorry for what happened to you, it was my fault that you were even captured." Tohru was shocked, did he truly feel like he failed her? "I-Izuku. It wasn't your fault...I chose to fly off, I chose to let my emotions get the best of me, I chose to get captured because of it. But I didn't choose to be saved, YOU chose to save me." Her grasp around Izuku's neck tightened and buried her neck into him. "And I really appreciate that..." Tohru's voice wavered, as if she was about to cry.

The past

Why did she feel this way, why did she feel all...odd when around him?  She didn't really know. All she knew, was that she felt abandoned by Izuku when he was with that girl on the beach. She thought they had something nobody else could, but was proved wrong when she flew off...And was proved wrong again when she learned what Izuku did to save her. They were both injured when Kanna brought them home, though Izuku was in a worse state than Tohru, since he was still out cold. Kanna had landed on the roof of their home, prompting Tohru to slide off Kanna's back while holding Izuku.

With the help of the small dragon girl, Tohru had treated his wounds after laying him out on his bed. She sat in a chair that was next to his bed holding Kanna in her lap, all the while praying to the same gods that tried to kill her to watch over him and keep him safe. "Hey, Tohru. Is Izuku going to be okay?" The little girl asked meekly, "Of course Kanna, you know he never gives up." Tohru believed her own words, but of course she didn't know when they'd come true, nor did she know that he would truly wake up at all. She wished with all her heart that he wouldn't be in this condition for the rest of his life, because Tohru had feelings for the boy laying in front of her. And she would love him, even if she was hated by the same man she knew that her love would never waiver for him.

A single tear fell out of Tohru's eyes and rolled down her cheek until it fell onto Kanna's head. "Y'know Tohru, he really loves you." "Wh-Wha-!" Kanna continued to speak after Tohru's little outburst, "otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so bravely to protect you." "K-Kanna, you can't say things like that. He also protected you, he would've done that for anyone...because he treats us like his friends and family, nothing more.......nothing less." It pained her to say that, "nuh-uh! He really loves yo-" "Kanna, stop. Stop saying things like that," Tohru had said in a motherly way. Or at least she thought because she sounded more like a child than anything.

Tohru made food for Kanna, put her too bed, and went back to watching Izuku as he slept. He was peaceful, though his breathing was slightly erratic and the air in the room felt...electrical? She had fallen asleep sometime during the night and woke up when she heard the door to Kanna's room open and close. "Hungh? I must've Yawn dozed off. " She stood up and walked out of the room to see Kanna before she left. She made her lunch for school and saw her leave the house, she then went back to watch over Izuku. This continued day after day, night after night, until he woke up when Kanna was at school.

Back to the present

"T-Tohru..." Izuku moved her off of him, he could see that Tohru's eyes were watering and tears were coming out. He reached out for her face and gently wiped the tears away, "hey, Tohru. Can I ask you for something?" "W-what?" Her waited a few moments to muster up the courage, "this." He leaned into her face despite the pain...and kissed her. Her eyes opened in surprise and her arms slightly flailed about because she was about to fall, he truly loved her, for the kiss was passionate. Izuku put an arm around her waist to prevent her from falling. Which caused Tohru to close her eyes and melt into the kiss, both of them were really happy. Izuku's love for Tohru had manifested over a short period of time, while she was infatuated with him from the start. But that didn't matter, they were finally together. After almost a minute of kissing, Izuku broke away for a breath. "I love you Tohru," he waited for her response because she was still calming down from the kiss. "I-I love you too Izuku~" And again, they kissed...or at least tried to, the pain that was in Izuku's side felt like he was being stabbed by a sword, one that had electricity coursing through it. He grabbed his side in pain and laid back down, "sorry." He grunted as he rolled up his shirt, a small bruise was the source of pain, but it was also shooting out a small amount of electricity.
