     Tokoyami froze in the doorway as he saw Bakugo's new form for the first time. The nurse coughed, breaking the awkward silence and promptly left the two alone in the hospital room.
     "Get out of here! I don't want anyone to see me like this!" Bakugo yelled.
     "What do you mean?" Tokoyami asked, "I dont think there's anything wrong with you."
     "Shut up you bastard!" yelled Bakugo, "I'm horrible!"
     Before he could stop himself, Togoyami said, "No, you're beautiful."
     Bakugo looked up in surprise. Did he really mean that? Was his deepest desire coming to life?
     "What the hell are you talking about?"
     Tokoyami blushed and looked down. "I just meant that you shouldnt be so upset about your appearance. You're still an amazing hero."
    He thinks I'm amazing? Bakugo's face was now dusted pink.  I didn't think he would accept me like this, Bakugo thought as he turned to see his reflection in the window.

     "I- I'm sorry, Bakugo," said Togoyami, blushing under his lush facial locks.
     "No... don't be sorry," said Bakugo awkwardly, stunned into politeness for once. "It seems that you feel the same way I do."
     "No!" cried Tokoyami, "We're just friends, Bakugo!"
      "Please," he said in a sultry voice, "Call me Kacchan."
     Tokoyami slowly edged over to the bed. He looked deep into Bakugo's eyes. "Okay, Kacchan," he said with a wink.
      Bakugo smirked and leaned in for a kiss which, as you might guess, is difficult with a beak. They managed very well despite the obstacle.
     "You always did love a challenge," whispered Tokoyami, "It's one of the things I admire about you."
     Bakugo had his arm wrapped around Tokoyami's waist and Tokoyami's hand was entangled in Bakugo's flowing new hair.
     "Bakugo, the nurse is going to come back and you need to rest," Tokoyami said as he removed Bakugo's hand from his waist.
     But as he was backing away Bakugo caught his hand and brought it to his face.
     "Stay," he said in a demanding tone. Tokoyami sighed and sat in the chair next to the hospital bed.
     "Alright," he breathed, his dark eyes searching through Bakugo's crimson ones.
     "But you still need to get some sleep." Tokoyami said as he used his free hand to gently push Bakugo's head back to to the pillow.
"Tch,fine," Bakugo said as he finally closed his eyes and let his tiredness take over.
