Chapter 16 - 'Reconciliation and feelings'

Day 62

Izuku stood leaning against the doorframe with a tired expression. I couldn't blame him, it was around 4AM but I couldn't wait any longer. It had been another sleepless night for me and I was done feeling like shit, I'd been having trouble sleeping for over a week and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to make things right with Izuku even if it was the middle of the night and Aizawa would have killed the both of us if he caught us up at such an hour.

"I'm sorry I lashed on you. You did nothing wrong but try to help me. Please forgive me even if I'm a monster just like my father...I can't take it any longer." - I said keeping my glance to the floor.

He didn't answer but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside his room before silently shutting his door. I wanted to apologize more and I would have begged for forgiveness if I needed to, I didn't know which words I was supposed to use but I would have managed somehow even if my mind stood blanc.

It didn't matter anyway because Izuku wrapped his arms around me with a sigh making me forget everything around me.

"I'm sorry Izu..." - I said returning the hug.

"Shut up, I missed you" - he said hiding his head in my chest. I rested my head against his enjoying the softness of his hair and its smell of vanilla and lime. We stood like that for a few minutes and I like to think that we were both enjoying each other's warmth the same way. It might seem stupid, but I finally felt like I could breathe again.

"What time is it?" - he asked with a little yawn as he took a step back rubbing his eyes tiredly. He was adorable and I wished I could have kissed him right on the spot and held him in my arms for a bit longer.

"Something around 4 in the morning..." - I said brushing a lock of his hair out of his face. His eyes widened in shock for a second before he run his hands through his hair with a sigh.

"Couldn't you wait till morning?" - he said walking back to his bed and falling to sit on it.

"It's technically already morning time..."

If look could kill, I would probably be dead after the glare he sent my way before laying down.

"Sorry, I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to make things right. I'll go back to my room; we'll talk after class..." - I said scratching the back of my neck awkwardly. I grabbed the doorknob to get out but stopped as Izuku called my name.

"Don't leave, stay with me..." - he said lightly outstretching a hand my way. I let go of the doorknob and laid down in bed next to the only person I loved in this fucked up world. If there was any light or good in this world, it was him for sure.

He smiled and snuggled closer to me as his eyes fell shut and my heartbeat increased his speed.

I took a shaky breath as I sneaked my arms around his body hugging him close to me as if it would be the last time I would be able to enjoy his body warmth. He shifted a bit making my glance move down a bit to meet his green eyes.

"Welcome back Shōto" - he said placing a hand over my cheek before lightly brushing his lips against mine for a second and hiding his head in the slope of my neck.

"Welcome back Izu..." - I whispered putting a kiss on his temple.
