18

I woke up alone but there was a note saying he went to take a shower and would be back after everyone leaves for the day. A shower huh? I could really use one of those. I look up at my alarm clock and see it's not even 7 our classmates will still be here for another hour maybe more. I might as well get up and go take a shower as amazing as I feel I know that I probably stink. 

I go about getting my things together and look in the mirror and see all the marks on my chest and you know what? Today is a good day to wear a t-shirt instead of a tank top. I swap out my clothes and carefully head to the showers, wincing as I go. 

When I finally get dressed and exit the showers again I feel refreshed and the hot water did wonders for my tired and achy muscles. I take my dirty clothes and drop them off in my room before going back downstairs to the kitchen. 7:08 am so there will be people still here. I exit the elevator, towel still around my neck as I dry my hair.

"Bro!" I turn to see Kirishima calling out to me. "What happened yesterday? After Midoriya kissed you, you just disappeared. At first I thought you liked it because you told him to do it again but then you just took off like you were going to murder someone." Kirishima means well enough, I think but he just keeps going and going and I'm hungry. I just kept walking to the kitchen letting him go on and on while I decided to hunt for food. 

I was just making myself some cocoa when I heard Deku, "Kacchan!" I looked up and smiled ignoring Kirishima's lecture for him about not just randomly kissing people.  

"Good morning," I can't stop the smile on my face. I could still see a hickey on his earlobe and scratches on his neck by his shirt collar. I wonder if anyone else noticed?

'I haven't told anyone but I want to, but... I just... Can I not?' He looked at me with those big eyes of his. I mean I'm not afraid to tell them I just want him to myself for a little while. Is that so bad? 

I told him this and instead of seeing him sad or upset he perked up more. 'I love it! It will be like we're undercover lovers!' He was getting excited and I couldn't help laughing and agreeing. 

"Deku I need food and we need to get through these leftovers," I put my hand on his head as if I were much older than him but he has gotten tall over the years. Damn which one of us is actually taller now? 

"Food!" Deku cheered, making me laugh again. I was just putting my plate in the microwave when Kirishima dragged me out of the kitchen and I was suddenly surrounded by the self proclaimed Bakusquad. Fuck, now what?

"Bakubro, do you have a crush on Midoriya?" Kirishima questioned, he had a hand on each of my shoulders and I was trying not to wince at the contact. Deku had left several hickeys and bite marks all over my chest and fuck it all they still feel good. 

"What are you even trying to say? Huh?" I huff before removing his hands ignoring the question altogether. At least that distraction was gone. 

"Bakubabe," Ashido grabbed my shoulder from behind and I nearly yelped, she found a particularly sensitive one. I turned and swatted her hand from me. 

"Stop fucking grabbing me, all of you!" I growled glaring at them. 

"Teach us that language you're always talking to Midoriya in!' Kaminari piped up, it wasn't only me that was confused by his outburst. 

"I can't," I step back and away from them getting all their attention again. "Don't ask for the impossible. Fuck Sparkles has been talking in French since year one and none of you know French now do you?" I tried to explain it away. 

"Le français est la langue de l'amour," Kaminari answered and my jaw dropped. Did he really just say that French was the language of love? 

"Since when?" I yelled at him. 

"I'm pretty sure it's been like that forever dude?" Kaminari answered scratching his neck awkwardly. 

"Not that, you Dunce Face! How long have you been able to understand French?" 

"Urr, our first year? It's not that hard I mean Aoyami is always talking in it, languages are kind of easy for me." he shrugged.

"I still can't teach you," I set my jaw and glared at him. "No one can learn it outside of..." I stopped talking, shit I said too much. 

"Outside of what? Dude are you in a cult!?" Kaminari yelled. 

"Do I look like I'm in a fucking cult?" I screamed setting off explosions. I could feel my chest tightening and try to calm down. Recovery Girl will kill me if I go back just because I got mad. 

"I'm going to go eat now in case you forgot I am sick and need to rest and eat properly," I huff walking away. 

Ashido didn't even try to keep her voice down, "He didn't say no." I pretended not to hear her and opened the door and froze my heart breaking a little inside. 

Deku was standing there, his hands in the air and his quirk going haywire around him, green energy crackling, his eyes wide. Uraraka was kissing him. It wasn't until Iida pulled her off of him lecturing her about personal space and consent and Todoroki looked pissed, even putting a wall of ice between the two of them. 

"What? He was willing to kiss Bakugo and they have hated each other forever," she snapped at the class rep. Deku was still crackling, his quirk not under control yet and I ran forward finally unfreezing. 

"Deku!" I yelled trying to get his attention but all I could see were his tears streaming down his face as he panicked. He wasn't breathing and he had started clutching at his chest. The rest of our classmates finally noticed that something was wrong. 

"Deku trust me?" I asked and he nodded and I pulled him in and forced air into his lungs but after three times I stopped, it wasn't helping. He still wasn't breathing. "Okay then I'll try to force it out, I'll take you to Recovery Girl after I promise!" I was starting to panic but Deku nodded understanding. 

I punched him in the gut and the sharp exhale of air could be heard but when he went to breathe in it just wasn't going. I tried to force air into him again and I think to a point it worked but he still wasn't breathing on his own. 

"Let's go!" I squatted letting him on my back ignoring the pain from his quirk zapping me as he held on and I went running out the door. Our classmates yelled something but I couldn't make out what it was because the blood was roaring and rushing through my ears. 

I ran, I ran as fast as possible, not even noticing the rain pouring down. I was soaked in seconds but I couldn't stop. By the time I reached the school Deku was trembling but still not breathing. I didn't worry about my wet shoes or the fact that I was dripping wet, I just ran. The other students stood shocked and in our way. 

"Move out of the fucking way!" I screamed jumping over a couple students using my explosions to help propel us. It helped, so I kept using my explosions as I ran and people quickly got out of our way then. Fuck isn't this a hero school? Why is everyone just freezing up? They act like they haven't fought a villain before but I guess that most haven't, only our class seems to get attacked after all. 

My body was shaking and my quirk was weakening but I ignored it, nothing was going to stop me from getting Deku to Recovery Girl in time. I see her office ahead of me down the hall, almost there. I saw the door opening and All Might and Aizawa Sensei were coming out. 

"Hold the door I'm coming through!" I screamed and they froze up just enough that I was able to slip past them and into the office with my wet shoes sliding to a stop in front of Recovery Girl. "He isn't breathing," I tell her and she quickly takes him from me and All Might and Aizawa Sensei both come back into the office closing the door behind them. 

"What happened?" Aizawa Sensei frowned at me. But I couldn't focus. Everything was drifting out of focus, I was shaking but I couldn't feel the cold. My heart was racing but this was different. I was running and using my quirk but my heart felt like it just couldn't keep up and I couldn't breathe. It was slow at first, a little uneven was all, but in the matter of seconds everything was spinning and my throat was closing up. I wasn't breathing at all. I was clutching at my chest, the pain was unbearable but I was still trying to hold myself together. In any way I possibly could, I was trying but I couldn't. Nothing was working.

I looked up to see All Might talking to me slowly trying to get my attention but it wasn't working, I couldn't hear anything he was saying. He put a hand gently on each shoulder and not even the soreness was enough to distract from the pain in my chest. 'Deku?' I tried to talk but it wasn't coming out right. Nothing was coming out at all. I could feel tears streaming down my eyes as I tried to pull myself together, nothing was working.

I fell to my knees trying to pull air in but nothing was working and everything was blurry now. Why is everything going blurry? And dark? So very dark. 

Then nothing.
