Nightmares and Flowers

"KACCHAN!" I screamed running forward as a villain that looked like a really old time vampire bit his neck. He screamed out but no matter how hard he thrashed around he couldn't get free and no matter how fast I ran I couldn't get passed the swamp villain that had stuck himself to me and the earth under us softened to the point that he could let me go and I still couldn't move and I had to dig myself out.

Once I was able to free myself I looked up already running but I stumbled when I saw the vampire villain drop Kacchan on the ground. He isn't moving. "NO!" I screamed and my quirk pulsed out sending what looked like a green electrical net out, something I've never done before, knocking out both villains when it hit them but I ignored them. My eyes were only on Kacchan's motionless body.

I slid to a stop next to him and I turned him over only to find him very pale but still breathing, barely. I turn to see the villain that did this to him. He really does look like a tacky vampire, he is even dressed in an old time suit and a long black cape, his hair slicked back and his skin was surprisingly a purple-grayish color.

I immediately cuff him in quirk canceling cuffs. I couldn't hear what all he said about his quirk, I was too far away but Kacchan had fought like hell and I could see the panic on his face every time the villain got too close. I just couldn't do anything. Of course I couldn't do anything, if I could then I would be a real hero and not get myself hurt all the time.

I shook him until he came to, "What did you do to him?" I could barely hear myself but I had the villain's complete attention and he was now very pale. I think I just put Kacchan's homicidal voice to shame.

"What makes you thin-" He tried to shrug me off but I let my quirk flood my left hand and I punched the ground next to his head. If I wasn't holding him by the collar of his shirt his head would have fallen at least a foot and that's not thinking about the damage the force would have done on its own.

"Don't make me repeat myself," I warned him, glaring. I can't keep the murderous intent away, Kacchan isn't responding and it's all this guy's fault.

"My quirk is called Nightmares, I drank 20% of his blood, no more, so he passed out. Of course that isn't including however much he lost before," The villain was sweating profusely and I am not at all satisfied with his answer.

"So he is stuck in a nightmare or what?" I demanded and the villain was still nervously eyeing my hand that was still crackling with my quirk.

"Yes but he will wake up when he has experienced all of his greatest fears, it usually takes a couple hours at most and if there is no blood loss before I use my quirk they don't even need to go to the hospital but they probably should anyway," he gulped when I flexed my hand, I'm not calming down. I need to hand him off to someone now.

"How do you stop the nightmare?" I narrowed my eyes at him but he started shaking his head side to side.

"You can't, I mean I can't. Once it's done, it is done but he'll wake up later. I swear," Something about what he is saying isn't adding up but I can't quite place it.

I hit the button on my headset to call for backup, "Ka- Dynamight was hit with a quirk and is now unconscious, I need back up now. I have two villains both in quirk canceling cuffs but Dynamight has lost a lot of blood. The villain said that he drank 20% of his blood, I need medical transport and A+ blood bags," I heard confirmation and it wasn't long before Iida showed up to take over custody of the villains.

"It can't wait, Kacchan lost a lot of blood before the villain drank his. I need to get him to the hospital," I called out once he arrived. He tried to stop me but I was already carefully picking up Kacchan's limp body and when he saw just how pale Kacchan was he closed his mouth again, turning his focus on the villains well aware of which one hurt Kacchan.

I charged my quirk all around me and after making sure that Kacchan's head was carefully supported I jumped through the air towards the nearest hospital, updating headquarters on my way so they could have everything prepared for when I arrived.

Once I was inside I saw several nurses and doctors exchange looks the moment they saw how pale he was.

"I'm O+ and he is A+ if you don't have enough for him then you can take it from me," I said to the first one that walked up. They directed me to follow them instead of trying to take him from me. By now even though we are still in the last year of highschool they have gotten very used to Kacchan and I. Sadly. I can't help the sigh I let out at that. We get hurt way too often.

They led me to a room with a special chair and they had me set him down in it, explaining what the chair was for; blood transfusions. From what I told them they quickly brought in a couple more bags of blood and an IV drip.

"There is a very good chance that he will wake up violent and confused. I'm leaning the chair back but since you are the most familiar with him I will need to ask you to stay here for when he wakes up. Keep in mind he WILL be violent when he wakes up so just try not to hurt him when you restrain him. We can't put quirk canceling cuffs on him while he is in the chair though," someone I barely cared to look at informed me. I don't really care about all the extra stuff, I'm just relieved that for once they are asking me to stay with Kacchan instead of leaving him.

All things said and done it didn't take long to hook up all the needles and sensors and the fact that Kacchan's heart rate was actually slower than mine was extremely concerning. His normal rate is usually a lot faster than mine. It was hours later when Aizawa Sensei arrived but thankfully he had already seen the footage of the fight from my suit before he arrived, so he already knows that there wasn't much of anything that we could have done without backup and with how crazy the city has been for the last week, there just hasn't been any backup to be had. I was lucky to get Iida when I did.

"Problem Child," he greeted me, if I thought he had eyebags before they are nothing compared to now but I guess war would do that to anyone, even a short one.

"Sensei," I answered, my eyes are drooping and I am barely awake. When was the last time I slept? Ever since Kacchan and I took down AFO the whole country has just been crazy. Pro Heroes all over the world have their hands full and the public just doesn't trust them like before. But then again, considering the hero association was publicly humiliated there isn't really any trust to be had. At least the League of Villains is gone, it's just going to take a few years to clean up the mess they left behind. The real problem is actually heroes, or rather ex heroes, like Endeavor, but now isn't the time to think about all of that.

Sensei pulls up a chair next to me and I finally relax enough to fall asleep, when was the last time I slept again?

***

I wake up needing to use the bathroom, I look around remembering that I'm at the hospital and why and I could see that Kacchan is still out cold but he has color back in his face now. I stand up and stretch a little before telling Sensei that I was going to the bathroom and maybe the cafeteria, I'm starving. He only nodded and I made a mental note to bring back some coffee as I walked out the door.

It wasn't until the staff handed me a drink carrier with a large black coffee and a mocha cappuccino and a small box of pastries that I made my way back to the room. I was just in time to see Sensei standing and stretching in the doorway. I held up the side with his coffee in it and he nodded his thanks.

"They needed me to leave the room while they attached a few things," he grumbled while clearing his throat but I could guess what kind of things they would need us to leave the room for. Something like a catheter, which means Kacchan is going to be even more mad when he wakes up.

We stood outside waiting to be given the all clear sipping our drinks, I even offered Sensei a pastry but he just shook his head no and took another sip of the black coffee. I was almost done with my cappuccino when there was an explosion inside the room and we both ran in ignoring the people trying to keep us out. Kacchan was screaming and unlike usual he sounded terrified, not pissed.

"Who the hell are you? Get the fuck away from me! Where am I? STOP!" I could see him trying to push a particularly large nurse away, his quirk fizzling in his hands and suddenly our eyes met and he froze. I ran over blocking the doctors and nurses as I did, Kacchan has the right to refuse any kind of medical treatment and right now he isn't thinking clearly enough to agree to painkillers or listen to possible procedures.

"Give him a few minutes to figure out what is going on!" I yelled at them getting even more mad. "You all are the ones that told me that he would wake up confused and violent and you are actually trying to force him to sign forms? Are you crazy? Aunty is already on her way, Kacchan isn't signing anything, you can all wait for his mom!"

It's not Auntie's fault that we are hours away from home, they will just have to wait and that is that. Sensei was lecturing them all, seething as he did, he managed to spill the last bit of his coffee and that only helped with making him more scary to the staff. I turned my back on them all to see Kacchan almost as pale as when I first carried him here. I reached out and touched his cold, clammy skin frowning as I did. Wasn't he doing much better before I left the room? I could have sworn that he had color back in his face.

"It's okay Kacchan," I turned my focus to his eyes trying to make him believe me. "Everything is okay now. We are at the hospital, the villain drank so much of your blood that you passed out. You need more blood and fluids but you're going to be just fine." I gave him my brightest smile, I couldn't help feeling happy, he scared me half to death with how pale he was but now that he is awake I feel much better. I let him go, knowing that he doesn't like me touching him but he quickly reached for my hand. He only missed because of the needles holding his arm down and as it was he almost ripped them out trying.

"You're alive?" He whispered, still reaching for me and I just gave him my hand, instantly calming him again.

"Of course, it's going to take a lot more than that to take me down," I smiled at him softly, at this point we are good friends, not just rivals. So I didn't think too much about it but Kacchan started crying and his grip on me tightened.

"Hey, it's okay. The Swamp villain wasn't all that dangerous," I tried to laugh but he just started sobbing and hiccuping. Something isn't right, why is he reacting like this? I looked over at our teacher confused and he was frowning but nodding. So I just pulled my chair closer and sat down next to him, getting him to relax enough for the nurses to fix his IVs. I could hear him mumbling for me to never leave him again and when my fingers were threaded between his he started to relax a little so I asked Aizawa Sensei to bring a small table so I could rest my arm on it so I wouldn't have to let him go.

It was hours later that Sensei brought me a large bottle of water, "they are running out of blood to give him." I took the bottle and downed it before he handed me another. I drank 3 before stopping and keeping the fourth to drink on. Of course I had to go to the bathroom and Kacchan didn't like that at all but since I was using the one in his room instead of the public one he let me go. When I came back he was crying again though.

"Kacchan, do you want to talk about it?" I asked, sitting back down again, holding his hand again. He wouldn't answer though, he just kept staring at me and crying. So I just drank the water and leaned against his chair for now. I was nodding off and I didn't realize it until I hit my head on the chair.

"Ow," I groaned, rubbing my head. I looked around and found that it was just Kacchan and I. He is still looking at me like he is trying to memorize every last speck of me, making me a bit uncomfortable.

"Kacchan, it's just us now. Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, taking another drink.

It took a long time but he finally nodded, his eyes still red, it took longer for him to say anything at all. "I saw you die, you were stabbed in the back blocking a villain from getting to me and you died in my arms," he reached up, trying to touch my face but his arm stopped when he ran out of line from the needles so I leaned forward so he could do what he wanted.

"At least I was able to save you once in your nightmares. I must be doing something right," I smiled at him. I could feel my heart lurch at the idea of Kacchan getting hurt at all.

"No, all the people I saw dying, only you died to save me," his voice was soft and his touches were gentle, as if he was worried I would shatter.

"I'm right here Kacchan," I leaned against his shoulder and I felt him flinch only to relax against me. "I'm right here," I repeated before dozing off again.

***

It took a few days before he was released from the hospital and when they took my blood and gave it to him he calmed down a LOT more than before. We were both restricted from working for six weeks due to blood loss but there's nothing we can really do about that. I however did get into a bit of trouble over threatening the vampire villain but that was only officially, Eraserhead only had me sign the paperwork saying I was lectured over it and then he told me good job. We were back in the dorms and Kacchan hasn't let me out of his sight once since we came back.

"Are you hungry Kacchan? I'm starving," I asked while smiling at him and he chuckled before nudging me out of the fridge and he started pulling out ingredients leaving me to guess what he was cooking while I watched him.

He is much calmer than before, he only gets worked up if I try to leave the room without him and our class is more than just worried about him. We technically graduate in a couple weeks and we are all adults but something about the way Kacchan is acting just comes off as pure and innocent. Of course he will start cursing anyone else when he looks away from me and every time Kirishima gets close he jumps so high and no one has missed that detail. Poor Kiri is really heart broken, even if they only dated for a couple weeks and broke up a few months ago he still sees Kacchan as his "best bro." Not that there is anything that any of us could do about it so he just cuddles into his new boyfriend, Todoroki's arms.

"Time for bed," I groan as I stand up stretching only for Kacchan to jump up to follow me, making me frown again. It's like he is afraid that I will disappear if I'm ever out of sight for even a second.

He has been sleeping in my room, with me, for the past week. Not to mention showers, I have to go to the school locker room just so he can see my head while I shower.

I watch as Kacchan skirts around Kiri again making me frown. Before we go upstairs though I have to ask, "Why don't you talk to Kirishima anymore?"

"I know it was just a quirk, it's not his fault," Kacchan answered but he didn't say anything else and poor Kiri had looked up excitedly that maybe he would understand what was going on, only to slump back into Todoroki's arms again.

I let out a sigh and gave Kiri an apologetic smile but he had already closed his eyes and was just crying in his boyfriend's arms. Todoroki held him tight and only gave me a brief nod but his attention was solely on Kiri. I followed Kacchan into the elevator and he hit the button for his floor. Sadly it took no time at all to find out that Kacchan had nightmares every night, he would wake up sweating, screaming and setting off his quirk and most of the time all three at the same time.

It wasn't until I was comfortably in bed with Kacchan latched on tight that I was able to relax, and then only because when I closed my eyes I could pretend that Kacchan actually loved me.

"Deku?" Kacchan asked after a little while and I hummed to let him know that I was listening. "Tomorrow could you go to the botanical gardens with me?"

I opened my eyes not expecting that kind of request, I looked down only to see him looking up and I could have sworn that I saw tears in his eyes.

"That sounds nice, we'll have to get permission from Aizawa Sensei but I don't think it would be a problem," I smiled at him and I felt him relax his whole body at the simple answer.

"He will probably say yes if you ask him," Kacchan pulled me closer and I couldn't help getting the distinct feeling that he was ready to beg. Just what happened in his nightmares for him to be so desperate?

For now though I just agreed and wrapped my arms around him, I felt him stop shaking as he relaxed further, not at all surprised when I found him sleeping peacefully in my arms.

So he wants to go see flowers? I wonder what happened for him to want something so peaceful so much. Could it simply be because it's peaceful that he wants it? What exactly happened in his nightmares? Why won't he open up to me?

But then again, he has answered everything I've asked no matter how vague it was, how could I ask him something that will only hurt him more?

Third person POV with COMMENTARY two unknown people.

***

*Is that the young heroes; Dynamight and Deku? Wait, what are they doing? Oh that is a local botanical garden, they are in street clothes and they seem relaxed so why were we sent this?*

*Oh look, they stopped under a cherry blossom tree, or is that an asha tree? Either way it is very beautiful. Oh there is audio? Then why aren't we playing it? You're working on it? Well when-*

"Deku? It's hard. Ever since I was hit with that quirk I can't stop seeing the nightmares. It just keeps getting harder and..." Dynamight struggled to put words to his thoughts.

Deku hesitated but finally asked, "What happened? I mean, I know the Nightmare villain part and how you were out for hours. You lost so much blood, I was so relieved when they said that you would wake up without any injuries but. All your friends miss you, what did you see to make you avoid them all?"

"Haaah," Dynamight sighed out, he looked at the pink blossoms for a minute before he answered. "It's nothing really, at least it wasn't nearly as bad as other things I saw. Mina and Sero framed me, something like turning me into a villain I think. Kami tried to poison me, if I didn't know it was all fake before I did after that," Dynamight snorted but then he frowned. "In the end Kiri killed me, he stabbed me in the back, that's when I woke up."

*What could the young heroes be talking about?*

Deku frowned, obviously confused, "Kacchan? You said that it wasn't nearly as bad as other things?"

Dynamight gave Deku a sad smile, reaching up to caress his face stunning Deku in the process.

*Oh my God! Are they dating? Are two of UA's strongest third year students dating? How didn't we know this before now?*

"Deku, I saw us. It was only a very short happiness, probably meant to make it hurt me more later but out of everything I saw I wanted this to be real." Dynamight stood close, his body relaxed as all he did was caress Deku's jaw.

*What are they talking about? So are they dating or not?*

"Kacchan? I don't understand. You wanted what to be real?" Deku tilted his head into Dynamight's hand.

*Wait, is Deku really that dense? He isn't serious is he?*

Dynamight gave him a soft smile, "Deku I love you. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to accept my feelings. I don't deserve that, just give me enough time to get over what I saw in that quirk and I'll leave you alone. I'll go far away after we graduate. Just let me have this," Dynamight pulled Deku closer only to kiss his forehead and just held him there for a few moments.

*What in the- WHY AREN'T YOU ASKING HIM TO ACCEPT YOUR FEELINGS?*

Dynamight pulled away and when he tried to turn away Deku latched on tight to his wrist, "No!" Dynamight turned back looking at Deku confused, the wind picked up blowing their hair around and several pink petals drifted around them landing in their hair.

"Don't, not again. Please Kacchan, don't push me away again," Deku begged and anyone could see the tears glistening in his eyes.

*Again? AGAIN! They were together before this? WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW THIS?*

"I can't. I really, really can't take you hating me again. Please we just got back to being friends again," Deku was barely containing his tears at all and he had to stop for a moment.

*FRIENDS? THIS MUCH DRAMA FOR FRIENDS? ARE THEY REALLY THAT DENSE? DIDN'T DYNAMIGHT START THIS WITH A LOVE CONFESSION? WHERE DID HE GET FRIENDS FROM?*

"No matter how much I want more I won't force it. Just please I can't take you abandoning me again," Deku looked up, losing the war with his tears as they broke free and slowly trailed down his face.

*Wait. Wait. Wait. So you're telling me that they love each other, but for SOME reason they can't be together? Is there another lover maybe?*

Dynamight froze hearing the words before looking up in surprise. It only took a few moments for him to step closer, putting the two young heroes very close to each other. Both heroes staring into each other's eyes, tensions rising.

*Can someone please get me some popcorn?*

"I-" Dynamight started, a hand reaching for the cheek that he had caressed just a few moments ago but he stopped, hesitating. "Can I?" His eyes darted down to Deku's lips but he quickly looked back into the green hero's eyes again.

*Will you just KISS HIM ALREADY*

After only a moment instead of answering Deku leaned forward bringing their lips together in a haphazard kiss, before they both grew more confident and pressed against each other, deepening the kiss.

*HALLELUJAH ABOUT TIME!*

*Before this video you didn't even know they were crushing on each other though?*

*Hush, it's too late now. I am 100% on board for this couple!*

*Shut up, they are separating!*

"Deku? I... No I can't. This isn't right," Dynamight shook his head but he didn't pull away any further.

*EXCUSE YOU! What isn't right about love? What are you even talking about?*

"Kacchan please!" Deku quickly wrapped his arms around Dynamight, latching on tight. "Please, we don't have to do anything more, we don't even have to do that again, just don't push me away again. Don't hate me again."

"Deku, I'm not good for you. I end up making you miserable everytime I'm around. I can't even talk to you for long without my quirk..." Dynamight trailed off, not finishing what he was saying.

*Oi! What about your quirk? Our viewers need to know! I NEED TO KNOW!*

"Deku," Dynamight sighed out, relaxing against the green eyed hero. "I can't hate you and I'm not talking about like back then. Just... Back to like a month ago, training together, talking, friendly rivals."

The sheer amount of relief Deku showed was very concerning.

"Then, what is today?" Deku asked nervously, his grip loosening but he still didn't let the explosion hero go.

"Today I'm weak," Dynamight answered before giving Deku a tender smile. "Today I'm giving in to temptations. Tomorrow I'll force myself to pick everything up again and I'll be the same as always but not today."

*What is weak about being in love?*

*I don't know but I feel like there is a lot more to the story than with most people.*

*This is so frustrating!*

"You're always so amazing, especially today," Deku smiled brightly and Dynamight leaned forward and kissed him again, slowly, giving Deku plenty of time to pull away only for him to close the distance instead.

*Oh my God just be together! Why can't you be together?*

*Right? They should have a ship name, after all they are heroes and I can't see the public not shipping them together after this video.*

*Oh! There are a bunch of suggestions already flooding the servers!*

*Really? Don't be shy, share a few!*

*Let's see; BakuDeku, DekuBaku, KatsuIzu, IzuKatsu, DynaDeku. I kind of like that last one and KachaDeku? That one only came in once. It doesn't seem that popular.*

*Shh! They are pulling away again! This has to be my new favorite hero couple!*

"Kacchan? Why can't we just be together?" Deku asked his eyes big and doe like.

*Gasp, who knew that such a strong new hero could look so. So. Adorable?*

"Deku," Dynamight sighed, gently running his fingers through the green curls, his eyes obviously adoring the other man. "We both know what I did. I can't be happy, not until I can be better."

"Kacchan, you've always been my hero though?" Deku looked and sounded confused making the explosion hero chuckle but at the same time look more depressed.

"Deku, I hurt you. I don't deserve to be happy," Dynamight whispered, barely getting picked up by the mic at all.

"No, you saved me!" Deku denied shaking his head violently and instantly.

"Deku, I burned you," Dynamight frowned. "You didn't have a quirk yet."

*Dear God, is he really talking about when they were 4 years old? Is Dynamight really that strict with himself?*

"No Kacchan! I was 14, almost 15 when I got my quirk and you are the only reason I made it that long!"

*PFFFFFT!*

*Eww, did you have to spit on me?*

*14? It took until he was 14 for his extremely powerful quirk to manafest?*

"Deku," Dynamight groaned, rubbing at the bridge of his nose with one hand but the other was still safely wrapped around Deku.

"No! Kacchan, you don't know what all I dealt with. You think you were some terrible bully but trust me when I say you don't even come close!" Deku shook his head again.

*Excuse me! Bully?*

"I was burned, cut, chased, strangled, stabbed so many times I've lost count!" Deku glared back at Dynamight.

*PFFFFFFFFFFT! Choking noises*

*WHAT? Did he really just say he was strangled? Stabbed?*

"What the fuck? Deku who in the fuck strangled you? Whe-" Dynamight froze, stopping in his questioning before he let out a groan. "All those fucking turtle necks. Why didn't I notice?"

"Besides that you only burned my clothes a little bit, you literally only made it sting once. I have been covered in burns and it wasn't even all done by our classmates. Do you even remember our middle school teacher? Do you remember how much he liked to smoke?"

*Is he really saying what I think he is saying?*

*I really need to know who his middle school teacher was right now. I just want to talk... With a baseball bat.*

"You mean those awful cigars that he reeked of all the time? Why would-. No. You mean?"

"Yes! I still have the scars from those disgusting cigars, the only difference is that now I have scars from my quirk all around them and overtop of them too. You were never a bully, at the very most you actually kept that monster away!" Deku's voice started to raise only for him to quickly close his mouth and look around. The person holding the camera quickly hid behind a tree and when Deku started talking again the video showed the two heroes walking away, holding hands as they talked.

"Why didn't you tell someone? Why didn't you tell me? No matter how fucked up I was, I would have helped!" Dynamight pleaded, the amount of hurt on the blond hero's face could easily be seen even from a distance.

" 'Who would believe an 11-13 year old, quirkless, brat? Over an experienced and respected instructor?' " It was obvious that Deku was quoting someone and Dynamight's quirk started popping in his hands, making him pull out of Deku's grip as he tried to shake his hands out but the mini explosions didn't go away.

*Does Dynamight have trouble controlling his quirk when he is mad?*

*SHUT UP*

"That fucking asshole! If I wasn't going to be a hero..." He fumed but he didn't finish the thought.

*Can we get someone, anyone, to tell us who their middle school teacher was? We can't have someone like that teaching our kids!*

"Kacchan," Deku reached out, touching Dynamight's face, bringing him back to the present. "You are my hero and heroes can't do that kind of thing."

"I know, it's what makes it so frustrating," Dynamight slumped into Deku's arms, they were standing in a field of wildflowers now and Deku looked around for a moment before smiling.

"Kacchan, do you remember when we made flower crowns when we were really little?" Deku smiled, changing the subject.

*Um, no. Go back, we need more information to go off of please?*

*I know this isn't live and that they can't hear us but it's really making me mad. I NEED more information!*

Dynamight smiled before giving Deku a quick peck on the lips. "I remember making a flower crown, you however made something with a bunch of grass and stems and very few flowers."

"Oh, so you don't need me to remind you how to make them," Deku teased before motioning to the wildflowers around them.

"Fuck it, why not. I'm weak today anyway," Dynamight smiled wide.

*Oh my heart! I mean he is obviously good looking but he always looks angry all the time. That smile was like I was shot!*

*I swear I'm straight.*

*Don't lie to yourself.*

*No, no, Dynamight and Deku. Remember we need to make that ship a reality.*

*You're right but still. That was the smile of an angel!*

*They are working so hard making flower crowns. I can't believe I'm saying that about these two! They usually get into so much trouble, although it's not like they go looking for it or anything.*

Deku looked up smiling before putting a crown of flowers on Dynamight's head and then taking some lavender and sprinkling it in his hair, Dynamight smiling up at him after the finishing touch.

*MY HEART!*

*YOURS? WHAT ABOUT MINE?*

Dynamight put the one he made neatly in the bouncing, dark curls, adding a few extra pink petals before smiling even larger, the two showing off the biggest smiles for the first time in a very long time.

*NO! I'M BLEEDING! SO MUCH BLOOD!*

*MY HEART IS FREEZING UP NOW! NO! Stop, breathe, I AM straight, deep breaths.*

*The hell does that matter? I have never seen such adorable young men before in my life!*

"Kacchan? Since we are... Like this, today, could we maybe pretend? Just for today?" Deku asked shyly, his eyes large as he looked at the other hero.

"Just today," Dynamight grinned and Deku threw himself into Dynamight's arms, using both hands to control his head and kissed him. Dynamight's arms quickly but gently wrapped around him, pulling him safely into his lap as they sat in the field of wildflowers.

*Why can't they be together? They obviously love each other?*

*Do you think they will talk about it? Like the child abuser?*

The two heroes' kiss ended and Deku cuddled into the blond's arms, snuggling into his neck making him chuckle at the affection.

"I wish we could be like this forever," Deku smiled happily, how he looked and sounded so genuinely happy was anyone's guess.

"So do I, Deku. So do I," Dynamight sighed before burying his nose into green curls and breathing in deeply. They stay there for a few minutes, most likely listening to nothing but each other breathing.

*So why can't they just be together? I mean really. They both want to be.*

*I don't know but it's driving me crazy!*

"Kacchan?" Deku asked and Dynamight humed a bit. "What would have to happen before we could actually be like this? Forever?" His voice was so small but it clearly traveled through the air, without any difficulties.

*Please! Just say yes!*

It took a while but Deku didn't seem worried, if anything it was more like he didn't expect an answer at all, leaving the two in otherwise peaceful silence.

"I need to be worthy of you," Dynamight answered.

*DID HE REALLY JUST SAY THAT? THE DYNAMIGHT DOESN'T THINK THAT HE IS WORTHY OF DEKU?*

"Showing affection really isn't a weakness. I love you," Deku's green eyes were trained on bright red ones.

"And if a villain uses that affection to kidnap someone?" Dynamight frowned but otherwise didn't say anything.

"Kacchan, that isn't... Kacchan I'm a hero too and I'll still be fighting you for the number 1 hero spot. I won't be that easy to kidnap and even if they tried that wouldn't be their main reason for trying," Deku frowned up at Dynamight while sitting sideways in his lap. Silence, there were birds chirping in the background, insect noises and even the sound of very young children as they laughed far away.

"Deku, today I'm weak," Dynamight said very slowly, stubbornly but Deku was now looking at him carefully. "And you know that I always keep my word, no matter what." Deku nodded slowly, still paying close attention to Dynamight's face as if he could find the answers to life there.

"So if I agree to something, even if it's for a long time, you know I would follow through no matter how long it took," Dynamight was watching Deku closely as if he was waiting for him to jump up and run away.

*For the love of GOD!*

*Shh!*

"Even if it's for the rest of our lives?" Deku whispered.

"Yes, then it wouldn't be weak for me to... With you... It would be the right thing to do and God knows I would never do anything halfway either..." Dynamight stopped talking, not finishing what he was talking about nor did Deku ask what he meant.

After only a few seconds Deku looked up at him and asked, "Would you be happy if I did? I won't give you a way out, it would be forever."

*Why are these two so complicated? I'm going to freaking cry!*

*You mean you haven't yet? I can't get the tears to stop. Why are they pushing each other away so much?*

Dynamight took a deep breath and when he let it out slowly he leaned in to kiss the hero still sitting in his lap. "Yes," he whispered, barely audible.

*I'm so confused it hurts. What are they even talking about now?*

*Not a clue but they are so serious!*

"Kacchan?" Deku climbed out of Dynamight's lap, only to sit across his lap now with a knee on either side of his hip. Dynamight looked startled but didn't try to push him away at all, instead adjusting where his hands rested.

"Will you marry me?" The green eyed hero looked directly into Dynamight's shining red ones but otherwise was frozen in place.

"Yes."

"Kacchan, you have to promise me," Deku shook his head, not letting the blond kiss him now.

*WHAT?*

*SHHHH!*

"Deku, I always do what I say I will. Why do I need to promise?" Dynamight asked more confused than before.

"Because if you promise I can look forward to it happening soon. You never let your promises take long. If you don't promise then it could be years still," Deku answered flatly.

*HOLY-! Did Deku just really BURN Dynamight like that?*

*Now the real question is which one is the dominant partner? Cause that right there just did a 180 on what I thought it would be.*

*What are you saying on national TV?*

*Tsk, it's not like we aren't all thinking the same thing!*

*STILL!*

Dynamight smiled wickedly at Deku after hearing that, "So you want to get married quickly?"

Deku gets a bit flustered, his face showing a light blush but he doesn't back down. "The sooner you are mine the sooner I can actually have you." Deku's face continued to get redder the longer he talked but he still didn't back down.

"Then what about the day after we graduate? We can sign the papers, Aunty, my hag and old man can be there and everyone else can just jump in a lake," Dynamight cooed, slowly snuggling closer to Deku but he was still out of reach for a kiss.

Instead of answering Deku smiled brightly and pushed Dynamight back onto the ground, trapping him with his body.

*HOLY-!*

*WILL YOU SHUT THE F*** UP ALREADY! It's getting good!*

Deku trapped Dynamight's wrist above his head, the blond looking up with wide eyes but a sneaky smirk on his face, waiting.

"Promise me," Deku demanded and anyone that heard the low growl in his voice would shiver in anticipation of what he could possibly do next.

"I promise, I will marry you as soon as possible," Dynamight answered, swallowing his saliva. His excitement showed through with how fast he was breathing and how he looked at the man on top of him.

Deku however dived directly in, his tongue completely controlling the other's with little regard to anything else. The two heroes were so passionate that they didn't notice whoever it was filming them had dropped the camera nor the fact that they quickly picked it up again to continue.

*YES!*

*FINALLY!*

It wasn't until Deku let Dynamight go that they were able to breathe at all, heavy panting filled the air between them only to be interrupted by Deku swiftly sneaking kiss after kiss, barely bothering to let them suck in any air at all. Green energy started crackling around him as he lost himself in his new lover and it wasn't until Dynamight set off a small explosion that he snapped out of it. Dynamight on the other hand didn't notice at all and when his hands were freed he wrapped his arms around Deku's neck leaving his hands free and safely pointed away so he could kiss his lover. Deku quickly gave in, and enjoyed himself fully.

"OH MY GOD! I AM SO SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW THIS AREA HAD ANYONE HERE!" Someone screeched, shocking both men out of their stupor as they jumped, flinching at the unexpected shrill voice before the person ran off before the camera could even turn to see who it was.

*WHAT THE HELL? IT WAS THE GOOD PART!*

*ILLEGAL! FOUL! WHY WOULD ANYONE INTERRUPT LIKE THAT!*

The two looked back at each other, panting, slowly calming themselves down as they got a grip on their quirks again and pulled away from each other.

*NO! Don't pull away! You're getting married! You d*** well better get married!*

*And you say I have a foul mouth?*

*Shut up! Don't act like you don't agree!*

The two stood up, the flower crowns on their heads crooked now but somehow even more flower petals seemed to have tangled themselves in their hair and while they tried to get over their embarrassment they took off the crowns to shake everything out of their hair.

*WHY!?!?*

*No! Don't stop!*

Dynamight saw the crown in Deku's hand and didn't even hesitate taking it from him and putting it back on his head, softly smiling as he did.

"We better go tell our parents so that we don't need to deal with it the day of," Dynamight whispered, staying close to Deku.

Deku took the crown from Dynamight's other hand, slightly surprising him as he put it back on his lover's head. "I'm never letting you go again," he whispered so low that the mic didn't pick it up and if it weren't for the good angle on his face no one would know what he said at all.

"Better tell All Might, he would cry if his precious student didn't invite him to the wedding," Dynamight tried to tease but there was a deep blush reaching all the way to his ears on his face giving him away.

"Mmm, yes. My mentor really should be at OUR wedding, after all if it weren't for him neither of us would have survived to highschool," Deku agreed, enjoying the now flustered Dynamight, he reached up and twirled some of the blond's hair with his fingers.

"True he did save both of our lives that day," Dynamight tried to look away and compose himself but Deku simply used a finger to turn him to face him again.

"I'm going to kiss you," Deku warned and somehow they were standing and Dynamight was pressed up against a tree with nowhere to run.

"About fucking time," Dynamight answered already breathless before Deku kissed him slowly but deeply and the video cut out.

*What the hell!*

*No! What do you mean that's the end of the video!*

Deku's POV

We walked back into the dorms from my house and I couldn't help giggling as I held Kacchan's hand in mine. Our parents were far more ecstatic than either of us could have ever guessed. Today feels like a dream come true. I looked up to see everyone in the common room with the TV on a popular hero news network and the two hosts seemed to be highly upset but everyone in the room's attention was on us now.

"Is something wrong?" I asked nervously but they all quickly shook their heads no except for Mineta who tried to say something only for Sero and Tsu to cover his mouth before he could even make a sound.

"Okay then," I said slowly, highly uncomfortable. Kacchan tugged on my hand and I smiled as I let him lead the way to the elevator.

"No! Why can't I say anything?" Mineta broke free and screamed, I turned around surprised.

"Midoriya? Who burned you? You really didn't have a quirk until right before our first year at UA? If you two love each other so freaking much why have you been fighting so hard since school started?" My jaw dropped at Mineta's questions and when I turned I saw Kacchan's face bright red with shock written all over it.

"How-?" I started to ask until I saw the tv again with the news anchors frantically trying to demand something and I saw what looked like a picture of me wearing a crown of flowers on my head wearing the same clothes I'm in now.

"Shit," Kacchan and I swore at the same time and the door opened behind us. When we turned we saw Aizawa Sensei and All Might both looking extremely upset.

"Boys it seems we need to discuss your previous education," I only now noticed Nezu sitting on Aizawa Sensei's shoulder when he spoke and I felt a chill pass through me.

"A long discussion," All Might added in agreement.

"Fuck," we spoke at the same time again. Looks like we don't have anywhere to run now. If they heard the part about me getting burned, when I got my quirk and how much I care for Kacchan then everything was probably on TV the only real question was how and why.

All Might gently pushed us back out the dorm doors and towards the school with Aizawa Sensei's and Nezu leading the way.
