human,

"Shit!" Bakugou shouted, causing you to rush into the kitchen, sliding across the floor in Bakugou's socks, which were way too big on you.

"Whats wrong?"

"Stubbed my fucking toe." he said through gritted teeth, grasping onto his foot.

Chuckling, you wrapped your arms around him tightly.

"What the fuck? What are you doing, dumbass."

"I'm not letting go until the pain goes away!" you huffed.

He sighed and muttered under his breath, "you are the fucking pain."

"Hey!" you said pushing away from him and crossing your arms so that you weren't facing him anymore.

Suddenly you felt your feet leave the ground as he wrapped his arms around you and threw you over his shoulder. "Katsuki!" you gasped. He only chuckled before putting you down on the sofa.

Lying on top of him, he admired you for a couple seconds, tracing the back of his hand along the side of your face, until his thumb met your lips.

"Y/n" he said under his breath. "You're mine."

"Katsuki. I-" you started, but struggled to get the words out.

"I-"

"Spit it out, dumbass."

"I think I love you."

His eyes widened with shock, sure you had told him this in the past, but that was all just preprogrammed, you had to say it.

But this time it felt different, it felt real.

"What?"

You felt stupid after saying that, robots can't feel love.

"I-"

"Y/n... you're doing it again." He said sitting up and wiping away the tear that began to fall down your cheek.

"Katsuki." you sat up, causing him to look at you, "I want to be-"

No matter how hard you tried, the word wouldn't come out.

"You want what?"

"I want-"

A moment of silence passed before tears began streaming down your face, you leaned forward and clutched on to his shirt.

"I want to be human." your scream echoed throughout the apartment.

He could only look at you in disbelief, terror flashed through his eyes. A million questions flooded his mind. Sure, he had faced numerous villains in the past, but nothing compared to this. A robot who yearned to be human - it's impossible.

He hadn't come to terms with reality, the cold truth that he was falling for a robot. Something that could never return his love the way a human could. You were simply a computer, unable to age or grow, just a piece of metal. You weren't even alive.

The sounds of your crying had stopped now. You moved you hair to one side, giving him access to your button as you kept your face buried in his chest.

"Do it."

"Y/n" he said unable to move.

"Do it!" you shouted moving your head so that you could see him, eyes widening when you realised. He was crying.

"Damn it, no!" he shouted back. "I can't! You don't get it! I can't let you go!"

You wiped the tears as they fell and held his face, "Katsuki, I'm broken. And I'm only going to break you as well."

You sighed before speaking again, "When I'm with you, I feel human. I'm able to think for myself, I'm able to feel, just like a human. It's like I have a soul and it scares me. I never want it to end, but everyday I feel myself growing weaker, and... soon I'm going to break."

His breathing hitched, his crimson eyes meeting yours, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"So you wouldn't worry, all I wanted is to be happy with you in my last days." you said, lips shaking as you smiled, shadowed with sadness.

"How long left?"

"I don't know."

Both of your hearts clenched with pain, artificial or not.
