On The Inside

Romance Novels and Happy Endings

Eijiro let out a soft sigh as Midoriya clung onto his arm as they walked towards his room.

He was happy he could be helpful to his friend. Well, he's glad to help in general.

Midoriya was such a fantastic person, and he deserved all the love that was humanly possible.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Midoriya asked shakily, "I-I mean, I'm not a bother, am I?"

"What are you talking about?" Eijiro chuckled, "Of course. I was gonna stay with you whether you asked or not. I mean, I'm worried about you, man. There was no way I would leave you alone after everything you've gone through."

Midoriya squeezed Eijiro's arm even tighter and rested his head on his shoulder, "Sorry if I'm a little annoying or clingy. Just let me know, and I'll stop."

"Don't be silly, man," Eijiro assured, "You're not doing anything wrong. Besides, I'm just happy you're here and alive. Just the fact that you listened to me and didn't jump means the world to me."

"You make it sound like it's a big deal," Midoriya dismissed, "I mean, you just..." He trailed off. His grip on Eijiro's arm lessened. "You know what, never mind. Forget it."

"What?" Eijiro asked as they came to a stop, "What did I do?"

Midoriya shook his head, "It's nothing. Just forget it."

"N-no, I wanna know." Eijiro whined, "If it's about what just happened, then you have to tell me."

Midoriya sighed and shook his head, "I'll... I'll tell you when we... when we..." He started to trail off. His voice seemed really tired. It was almost like he was dozing off.

Midoriya finally seemed to snap out of it when his head suddenly shot up. His eyes went wide, and he gripped Eijiro's arm even tighter. "Um... sorry, what...what were we just-"

"Dude, are you alright?" Eijiro interrupted, "You look like you're gonna be sick."

Midororiya moaned and shook his head, "I'm fine... don't worry about me. I'm just really, really, really tired."

Eijiro wanted to question him further, but his friend really seemed tired, so he decided not to pry.

They continued walking to his room when he felt Midoriya's body get heavier. Eijiro looked over at his friend to see him practically passed out.

Midoriya looked like he was still conscious, but he was just fatigued. Midoriya had said he was tired, plus, he did try to commit suicide. Of course, he was exhausted. Why wouldn't he be?

"Hey, man," Eijiro said softly as he nudged his friend, "You alright? You seem a little out of it."

No response.

Eijiro nudged his friend a little harder, "Hey dude, are you awake?"

Midoriya didn't even move. He was out cold.

Eijiro sighed and threw up his passed out friend over his shoulder before carrying him into Eijiro's room.

He fumbled his way around in the dark until he reached his bed. Being careful not to disturb Midoriya, Eijiro set his friend down on his bed.

The redhead sighed and ran over to the lights to turn them on. He tripped over his clothes and many other things that were thrown on the floor.

As the lights flicked on, Eijiro heard a light moan come from his friend.

"Midoriya," Eijiro called to his friend in a soft voice, "Did I wake you?"

Midoriya moaned before sitting up. He hugged himself, rubbing his arms. Probably as an attempt to warm himself up.
