Breathless (Kirishima x Midoriya)

Part 17

Midoriya's PoV

''Ma, this is... my boyfriend, Eijiro Kirishima.'' I greet as I pour us all some tea. My mom smiles at him as he rocks Ryo, cradling him like he's the most precious thing in the world. ''So... uh- how are you?'' I ask, looking at the almost healed bruise on her cheek. The nurses quirks are pretty weak at that hospital but it doesn't look as painful anymore which is good.

''I'm shaken up but I'll be fine. Tell me about yourself Kirishima.'' my mom smiles. I'm glad she's okay but she doesn't look as amazing as she says she is.

''Well, I'm 16 and I go to UA with Izuku. I admire crimson riot and I'd stop time for your son. He's just amazing.'' Eiji says and I blush slightly as I sit down beside him. He puts a hand on my leg gently and flashes a smile. He can sense how concerned I am. I put my hand on his and lace our fingers together.

''Are you two going to the dance together?'' my mom asks with a smile but it looks fake.

''Uhm, we haven't really told anyone we're dating yet. Just Bakugo and Mina.'' Eiji says shyly before kissing the tip of Ryo's nose and handing him to my mom. He sits back down and I sit in his lap. He wraps his arms around me as my mom plays with Ryo.

''You haven't told the class you're gay yet, huh?'' my mom asks.

''Not yet but I plan on it soon because I really want to take Izuku to prom and date him openly and give him PDA and help you and him with Ryo and marry him.'' Eiji says to my mom who smiles brightly.

''I've not known you long but I think you'll make a great dad Kirishima.''

''Oh please, call me Eijiro.''

I smile at how well my mom and Eiji are getting along. I check the time before realising how late it is. We kiss my mom goodbye, (cheek obviously), and leave for the dorms after saying a rather long and affectionate 'until next time' which I so hoped there would be but...

There's something in my gut telling me there might not be a next time and god I'd hate myself when that turned out to be true. How I'd be so mad I didn't visit her again, tell her I loved her and that she meant the world to me, that she was my world.

I love you...

To all my fans, readers or people who are just here for this book, I know we might not know each other or maybe we do but please don't kill yourself or hurt yourself because that light at the end of the tunnel can either be to signal your death or it can be the light of the bright future you could have if you just stay strong for  little longer. That future, it's the happy one where you survived the hardest time in your life. You're so strong for making it this far and I know you didn't ask to be here, you didn't ask for any of this but I'm always here and so are your friends and family and every other person reading this message. Don't hurt yourself, don't kill yourself and don't keep it to yourself because every trauma, every sadness and upset is valid and you might feel petty but those emotions are valid and you are strong enough to get through but you can't do it alone so please, accept help or even just watch some funny videos or draw something, write something or leave a comment because I'm always here. If I'm strong enough to overcome my hardships, I know you can too.
