I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 18: I Love You

I Love You

Izuku woke with a gasp, fluffy curls sticking to his forehead and the back of his neck. His shirt clung to him; a bead of sweat trailed down from his temple. With a shaking hand, Izuku pushed his bangs out of his eyes, glancing around the room as he tried to calm his rapidly beating heart.

It was morning, the sun peaking through a small slit in the curtains, shining on the ground a few feet away from the bed. His mates were all still fast asleep next to him.

The sight had his heart calming quite a bit, and a soft sigh passed his lips. Izuku clambered carefully out of the bed, making sure not to accidentally wake his boyfriends.

Izuku walked into the bathroom, quietly closing the door behind him; he moved to the zinc. With shaking hands, he turned the tap on, and splashed cold water onto his face, wiping his hands up and down his face.

He had had a nightmare, but now that he was fully awake, he couldn't remember what it was about. His heartbeat finally calmed completely as he dried his face with a towel.

Izuku tried remembering what the nightmare had been about, but came up blank. The entire two weeks they had waited for Kacchan to finish healing and moving his way up to the two hundredth floor, he had been having nightmares every night, but he couldn't remember what it was about.

Izuku sighed as he exited the bathroom, gaze trailing to the bed to see Kacchan detangling himself from Shoto. Izuku smiled as he watched the blond sit on the edge of the bed, taking a few moments to wake up completely.

"Morning Kacchan!" Izuku greeted cheerfully yet quietly.
Katsuki squinted at him and grunted, waving his right hand once before wiping it down his face.

Izuku moved to the kitchen, deciding on making coffee, knowing both Shoto and Eijirou were bound to wake up soon without the presence of either alpha in the bed with them.

It was still early, Izuku noted as he glanced at the clock that hung on a bare spot on the wall in the kitchen. It was quarter to seven. Izuku felt a little guilty knowing he was most likely the cause of Kacchan waking up fifteen minutes earlier than usual.

Kacchan was usually up first, followed by Shoto, then himself and lastly Eijirou. Ei could probably sleep well into the afternoon if given the chance.

A groan gained his attention, and he turned to watch in amusement as Eijirou came stumbling into the room, fingers rubbing at his tired eyes, yawning.

"Morning, Ei," he greets with a cup full of coffee in hand.
Eijirou mumbled something that could pass as a greeting, blindly reaching out to Izuku.

The alpha smiled as he handed over the cup, leaning forward as Eijirou took a sip, leant forward and pressed their lips together in a morning kiss.
Eijirou shuffled out of the room again and slumped onto the sofa.

Shoto had disappeared from the room; most likely sharing the shower with Kacchan as they often do. Since they woke up the earliest, they always shared a shower together, and later when Izuku and Eijirou woke up eventually, they would share the shower. It was all to save hot water, really.

The two exited the bathroom together, hair still damp and tangled; though they seemed more awake and aware of their surroundings than Eijirou. Eijirou tilted his head back on the sofas backrest, puckering his lips for whomever was closest. Katsuki planted a long loving kiss to the beta's lips. It wasn't anything too extravagant, just their lips pressed together for a long moment.

Shoto kissed Ei next; a gentle, loving yet passionate kiss that took the two alpha's breath away whilst they watched. Katsuki moved to the other alpha, leaning down to press their lips together. Izuku and Kacchan's shared kisses were always rough and passionate with underlying tenderness.
