Sunflowers (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

Settling In

I looked over at the bed where Toshinori slept. I was dialing up people and calling them, telling them what happened so that they were sure we were alright. Sorahiko was the last, and the more concerned.

"I'm glad you and Toshinori are alright...how injured were you two?" He asked over the phone.

"I had cuts and scrapes...Toshinori was lucky to somehow only have the same. His scar is all flared up, but the doctor here was able to proscribe him some pain medication. He took it last night when we finally got back to the hotel and he's still asleep...I'm glad he's resting." My voice was raw and scratchy from how much I had yelled, and the tea in my other hand was soothing its painfulness.

Sorahiko sighed deeply, "All For One was behind it all, huh? And David Shield...?"

"Well, partially. He's still negotiating, but he might have to be put under supervision for a few months to a year after he recovers...to gain his sponsors' and the island's trust back. I'm just glad he and Melissa are alive, too...I forgive him...I'm happy he's taking his portion of responsibility." I glanced over as Toshinori turned over on his side, the blanket over his shoulders in a comforting manner. "All For One gave the leader of the villains a second Quirk...along with the Quirk bolstering tech, he was nearly able to murder Toshinori."

"He's truly out for revenge...It scares me what he might do next." He admitted, grumbling.

"Me, too..." I furrowed my brows, crossing my legs and huddling in on myself. I took a sip of the hot tea, the heat calming me from my thoughts of a terror-filled future.

"Hmm...Well, we'll talk about this more when you arrive home. I just wanted to see how you were doing!" He said, "Have a nice and restful day."

"You, too, Sorahiko...Bye."

"Goodbye!"

I looked down at my phone, a chip in the side of it from the day before. I'd have to get that fixed. I felt the bandaids on my knees and elbows, standing up uncomfortably and walking over to Toshinori and the bed. I sat down beside him, brushing my fingers into his matted blonde hair. His eyes opened, and he inhaled sharply, turning over to look at me. "Hi, my love..."

"Good afternoon, sleeping beauty." I smiled fondly, "How are you feeling?"

"Better, I suppose...not loopy on medication anymore. I'm not going to take that Vicodin again...I hate pain meds, they make me spacey." He chuckled, "How are you?"

"The scrapes are healing...and my voice is getting better since I started drinking tea." I inched myself closer to him, sitting up. "You seem stressed...is it about the other night?"

"Uh...kind of..." Toshinori winced as he stretched his sore body out, "I woke up last night...I started thinking about something."

"What was that 'something'?"

"I think we should start trying for a baby early...like this week." He pushed himself to sit up beside me.

I froze, "Uh...Toshinori...don't you think it's...too dangerous? I mean, I...I want a baby and all but-!"

"It may be dangerous...but this whole incident was yet another reminder that life is too short. It was a reminder that I'm mortal. My life is extremely short...I don't know if I'll be alive next week, so-" he took my hands into his own, warm and calloused "-I don't want to make you wait. Let's start trying now...for a baby...so I can give you what you want."

His eyes flashed with that passionate energy that showed when he fought or when he was adamant about something. My lips parted, touched by his offer. "Toshinori...only if you aren't hurting, okay? I don't want you to over-exert yourself for me. We can start trying now, I welcome that..."
