Ninety-Nine Problems: Part 2 (Denki)

I took a deep breath, before I opened my eyes. It was really bright in the room, but I managed to open my eyes and see that I was in a hospital room. I looked down at my hand and saw that someone was sleeping on my hand. 

It took me a couple of moments before I recognized the hair as Denki's when I saw the black stripe.

I tried pulling my hand away, but I guess I scared Denki and his head shot up off the bed. He looked at me, and he stared at me with a really sleepy face.

"Hi." I said. And at the sound of my voice, he woke up and shook his head.

"Y/n, oh my god!" He said and now he was fully awake. He pulled the chair closer towards the bed, and held my hand and arm tight. "Oh thank god." He said and started kissing my arm up and down.

"Denki, why are you doing that?" I asked him, and tried pulling my hand away. It tickled.

"Because you almost died!" He told me, and wrapped his arm around my waist and hugged onto me more. Laying his head on my stomach. "I almost lost you. I almost lost the chance to tell you how much I love you, that I'm deeply in love with you to begin with-."

"Wait what?" I asked him, and I managed to pull myself into a sitting position. "You love me?"

"Of course I fucking love you, idiot!" He yelled at me, and he started crying. "I've loved you forever, and I suddenly find you on your bathroom floor dying! Why did you try to kill yourself?"

"I'm just tired Denki." I told him and looked away from him. His hands cupped my cheeks and made me look at him.

"Well you should have told me." He said to me, and sat on the bed next to me. "Next time, you tell me. You hear me?" He demanded  and he held my face in his hands. I nodded and he rested his forehead on mine.

"Yeah." I whispered to him, and I felt like it barely got out so I nodded to let him know I heard him. 

"I'll always be there for you." He told me, and buried his face in my neck. "You know I'll be there." I nodded and tucked my head under his chin. I took in a breath, trying to keep myself from crying, and I could smell his cologne. He smelled so good.

And in that moment, it felt like everything that was wrong was melting away. I relaxed in his arms, and pulled him closer to me.

"I love you too." I told him. He didn't say anything as he turned his into my neck, and I could talk right in his ear. "I'm sorry. Before I started taking those pills, I didn't think what I was doing was going to do to you. It wasn't until I finished them that I realized what I did." I started sobbing, and I tried to hold them in, and buried my face deeper into his neck. "I'm sorry."

"Shh." He told me, and started stroking my hair. "It's over now. And if you ever feel like doing that again, you come find me or call me, beforehand. You hear me? Otherwise I'll get Bakugo to blow you up." I couldn't help but laugh as I nodded and sniff my tears away. 

We were still holding onto each other, and started kissing his neck lightly.

"Hey Denki?" I asked him.

"Yes my buzzy beautiful sunshine nugget?" He asked, and I couldn't help but giggle at the nickname. It was a nickname he had given me when we were kids. I hadn't heard it in a long time though, I honestly thought that he had forgotten about it.

"Can I kiss you?" I asked him, and I felt him freeze up a bit. He finally pulled away from my grip and looked me in the face.

"A million times yes." He told me, before he crashed his lips to mine. Even though I had worked up the courage to ask him, I was still caught off guard. I kissed him back, and his hand wrapped around the back of my neck, and I felt like the luckiest person in the world.
