When I got into my room I sat Izuku in the tub.
I knew this was gonna be tricky.
He had burn marks up and down all over his body.
Along with several other wounds.
So the water is just gonna make him hurt worse but I need to clean them they could get infected.

"Izu"

I started.

He looked at me his emerald eyes now completely broken.

"Yeah? "
He asked in a monotone voice.
Almost like he wasn't even there anymore.

"This might sting a bit "

I said pointing at the foset.

"Just do whatever"

he mummbled looking down at his feet.

I started up the water and waited for the tub to get full as I looked at Izu.
He was no longer with me was he?
When I first met him I could tell he was somewhat broken but still strong.
But now he lost the meaning to
be strong.
With all that has happened it broke his soul.

And that's my fault.
I didn't protect him like I promise.
I didn't protect Eri like I promise".
I failed him.

I turned off the water and squirted some shampoo in my head.
As I started rubbing it in dekus fluffy hair I heard faint crying.
I thought about stopping but then I thought about maybe him crying it out will actually help.
I mean it's an emotion right?.

After I was done washing izu up I bandaged him up and put him in one of my hoodies and shorts.

We both layed down and I just kinda looked at him till he fluttered his eyes opened and looked at me too.

"Shoto"

izuku called out, breaking the silence between us.

"Yeah? "

I answered, moving a few strands of hair out of his face.

"What happened to your eye? "

He asked me again.

I didn't answer him for a few minutes.
I mean I guess I should go head and tell him.

"My mom."
"She poured boiling hot water on me".

I answered, my monotone voice returning.

" On purpose? "

He asked shifting his gaze back and forth, from me to the blankets.

"Yeah, because I look to much like my father"

I answered his next question knowing what he was gonna ask.

"Is your father a bad person? "

Izuku asked, like he had forgotten this was agang.

"Haha well he's definitely not the nicest person."

I answered.

"Shoto"

Izu spoke up yet again.

"yeah? "

I questioned.

"I want to see Eri "
"And I want to     *sniff*
hug her again"   *sniff* *sniff*
"I w-want to braid her hair. "

Izuku cried, breaking into a sobbing mess.
Stuttering over every single word he spoke after wards.
I barely understood anything else he said till one thing caught my ear.

"Everyone I've ever cared about has died maybe I should...".

Before he could finish what he was saying I swooped him up in a hug and started rubbing circles into his back.

" Izu don't ever say or think like that again"

"None of those deaths were your fault"
"Who ever recked into your mom is at fault".
" I don't know who the hell your dad is so I can't tell you exactly who fault that is. "
"But it's not yours! "
"And as for Eri's death".
" Blame me. "

I whispered in his ear trying to calm him down.

"W-why would I b-blame you? "

Izu asked me, a confused expression on his face.

"Cause it was my fault they saw us together if I hadn't k-"

Before I could finish my sentence Izu slammed his lips against mine.
It felt like a dozen of fireworks exploding.
So so many fire works.
I felt like I was in a magical place and all I felt was the sparkling feeling.
Till I didn't?

I opened my eyes to see izuku who had pulled away.

"I- I'm sorry"
Izu said guilt trailing in his voice.

"Izu, don't be sorry I enjoyed it."
" You can kiss me anytime"

I declared, a playful smirk placed upon my lips.

He giggled a little at that, which made my heart skip a beat.
maybe there is hope that he'll be ok.

As we snuggled together him breaking into sobs a few times.
I got curious.

"So Izu are you planning on killing me in my sleep? "

He looked up at me and gave me a confused stare down till it dawn on him.

"Haha maybe".

He said giving me a half smirk.

But I couldn't focus on his words,
just the fact that he laughed and I'm the cause of his laugh.
I want to hear more.
