No Cure Comes Without a Price

Summary:

(Summary is as bad as the story itself. Yeah, I'm doubting myself real hard)

Some people are born with a seed inside them and can nurture it by a sweet and special liquid that one's heart releases when their love is unrequited.
However, Katsuki was one of those people, although, his lasted for a year which is pretty rare for someone who has Hanahaki. It wasn't a fun experience, but he'd rather die than to get the surgery. However, one night, he was forced to do so. Unable to deny, he went under surgery with a new life ahead of him.

 

This short story involves Hanahaki
a disease in which unrequited love occurs and triggers the dormant disease in every human lungs. The flowers bloom in the afflicted's chest until the foliage destroys the person's insides and prevents them from breathing.

Notes:

Aye alright, this is my first uploaded story both here and on Wattpad. Aghhh I'm a nervous wreck coz AAAHH I'm not that good at making storiesssss :< anyway enjoy!!

Chapter 1: No Cure Comes Without a Price

Chapter Text

Not all men are created equal, I learned that from a young age. Some people are born with a quirk...Some people don't. Just like some people aren't born without a fucking seed inside them....while others do.

"Kacchan!" A high pitched voice called out to him. He looked over and saw the green haired kid who followed him almost everywhere. "What, Deku?" He asked the smaller boy. "I wanna get some fruits too!" Deku looked up to the blonde, like he always did. "No, this is too dangerous Deku! You can't even climb the monkey bar without falling over!" The blonde scolded....well...kinda.

Izuku squatted down and pouted as he watched the blonde and his other friends climbed up the tree to get the fruit they wished to eat. "I'll just get some for you Deku. So just sit down and stop pouting!" Katsuki yelled from above.

When Katsuki and the others climbed down from the tree, he tossed the other one to Izuku, whom unsurprisingly didn't catch the fruit. "Heh, useless as ever." Katsuki smirked and sat beside Izuku. "Hey! That's mean! You're just too awesome Kacchan!" Izuku exclaimed as he picked up the fruit. When he looked back up, excitement and amazement is visible in his eyes. "I know. That's why you're useless without me." Smol Katsuki grinned proudly and pink dusted on his chubby cheeks. "Waah! You're like....a wife then Kacchan?" The greenette tilted his head in question.

Katsuki's pink cheeks immediately turned red when he registered what Izuku just said heard his other friends snickering. "Wha- no! I'm the husband! HUSBAND!" The blonde said whilst blushing furiously. "Eh? But mom said that husbands works for the family while wives cleans, cooks, do and get stuff for their kids. You got me a fruit, so you're a wife!" Izuku giggled. "Humph! I just got you that fruit coz you can't climb up!" He turned away. "Hmmm...I know! I'm the husband and you're the wife!" Izuku looked at Katsuki in delight while having a giggling fit.

"No! I'm the husband and you're the wife! You can stay at the house and do the cleaning stuff while I can work." Katsuki replied. "Oh...Wait...we have to have a wedding first before becoming husband and wife." The smol blonde put his hand on his chin. "We can have a wedding right now!" The smol green haired kiddo suggested. "Hmm..no. Mom says we're too young to have a wedding. We wait until were adults!" Katsuki said happily.
"Adults??"

"Yeah! That's the time where we can have a wedding!"

"Okay! I will wait until were adults then Kacchan! I will be the husband and you will be the wife!"

"No! I will be the husband and you will be the wife! Promise me that!"

"I promise Kacchan. Pinky promise?" Izuku said as he held out his pinky finger to the blonde. Katsuki stared at the pinky finger in front of him, contemplating. He sighed and held Izuku's pinky with his.

"I promise if you promise."

"Eh?? I just-"

"Didn't hear it. And don't climb up trees because I won't be marrying you if you're disabled." (I have no problems against disabled people aight?! Please don't kill meeeee!!)

Izuku giggled.

"I promise!"

Day 1 Monday-. . . When it was all "normal"
August, 11 XXXX
5:30 AM
@Katsuki's apartment

 

Katsuki woke up to his alarm. Groaning in annoyance, he sat up and turned off his alarm. "I swear to god I will smash that fucking thing some time this year." He grumbled to himself. He walked towards his bathroom and turned the shower on. He stripped up and got in. His mind is still half asleep and keeps replaying the dream he had. Why the hell that day in all of the days? He angrily thought to himself.

 

When he got out of the shower, he dried himself up and proceeded to change into his hero clothes (he could've worn civilian clothes and changed in he agency but he can't coz he's too busy to wash the one on his locker in his agency. So it's probably stinky, considering that his quirk is based on his sweat). After changing he charged through his kitchen and started cooking omelette for breakfast. When he was done cooking, he walked to his living room and turned on the TV. He smirked when the first thing he saw was the big bold letters of: FASTEST RANK RISING YOUNG HEROES, WONDER DUO SAVES THE DAY AGAIN!

 

He felt proud of himself with the achievement he had yesterday from kicking and apprehending a villain's ass but however, he's also kinda pissed that he had to work with a certain adorable broccoli shit of all people he could work with. It could've been Shitty Hair, Dunce Face, Raccoon Eyes, Soy Sauce Face, hell...even Half n Half, but no. The heavens hates him and lumped him up with the nerd. He's not fully complaining however, because he's been in love with Izuku since their third year of high school. Yes, he's loyal to Izuku and only Izuku. But....Who would love him? He's just an unreadable asshole who tormented and ignored Izuku for years. And he's now with Half n Half, that's a plus. Though they're still hiding it but he's a good observer. At least he's going to die knowing that his nerd is happy with someone else.


He finished eating, got up and washed the dish. He gets his keys and headed out. On his drive to work his throat itched just in time when he saw Izuku and Todoroki on the way to the agency together. You're asking why? It's because when they graduated, Momo had a proposal that they would be building a new agency and all of class 1-A would, and should, be there. Katsuki contemplated at first but got convinced by the Bakusquad- as Kaminari calls it. But unfortunately, not everyone went there, some went to US because before their graduation, Toshinori Yagi, offered them a job there. He had an agency there of course. The Plus Ultra Co.

Same date
6:30 AM
@ Class A agency

He parked up and locked his car. He went inside the agency, got greeted by some of the heroes who worked there as well and slammed his- their- office open. When he sat on his desk, a knock sounded at the door. "It's open goddamnit! When, is that shitty door closed?!" He complained and rolled his eyes when he saw a very much familiar spiky redhead. "Heya Bakubro! Ya jus got here?" Kirishima asked, making his way inside Izuku and Katsuki's shared office. "Ah! Good morning Kirishima-kun!"

 

Speaking of the other owner of this goddamn office. (Perks of being the number one and two hero duo. They get the privilege to have their very own office.) Bakugou thought. "Good morning Midoriya! Wow...you uhm...went here with Todoroki?" Kirishima asked the greenette. "Mhm! We saw each other on Starbucks so we decided to walk together on the way here!" Midoriya smiled brightly. Both company turned their heads towards the blonde as he coughed. "Yo! You okay man?" Kirishima rushed towards Bakugou and patted his back. "I'm fucking fine Shitty Hair. It's just a cough and you're acting like I'm fucking dying." He managed to say before coughing once more and shaking his head.

 

When he said 'dying' it wasn't actually a total lie. He knew there was something wrong with him. He knew he had hanahaki yet never really paid much attention to it. He knew he was one of the rarest people to have an actual seed inside his fucking lungs basically it's like a garden or some shit. It was actually a miracle, as per the doctors said, that he lasted for about a two years carrying the disease. Most only lasted for about three to four months. However, his is a rare condition. Katsuki's condition is practically considered as a blessing amongst those who had the same disease because the seed growing inside him is rather growing slower than it should be. All the coughing started when they were at their third year of high school but there was no blood, no petal, just violent coughing and rare vomiting. His doctors always bugged him about taking the surgery specialized for the Hanahaki Disease, but he can't...He can't do it. It all stopped for a while, however two months ago, his illness came back for vengeance. He figured that this year should be his last year.....yet....

 

He was too late. He did nothing but accept his fate.

 

"What? I'm just worried man! You've been coughing for like...2 months! I mean..you rarely get diseases!" Kirishima says

 

"Two months?!" Both Katsuki and Eijiro looked at Izuku who shouted in shock. "Kacchan, two months?! And you didn't tell me?!" He said as he strode towards Bakugou's desk. "Calm the fuck down Nerd! Why the hell would I tell you anyway? It's probably just a fucking cough, small shits like these won't get in my way of work anyway." He replied, once again facing his computer and started typing aggressively. "Kacchan...Two months....no coughing or sneezing can last that long! It could mean something! It could...It could be a disease or..or...or worse!" Izuku spoke, his eyes and tone were both filled with worry. And for some reason, it made the blonde's heart go nuts inside his chest. "Jeez. Just shut the fuck up nerd. It's just a fucking cough. I don't need you worrying about my ass, I can take care of myself and I don't need you taking care of me if ever I am sick." The blonde frowned, not really in the mood to converse with someone. The greenette flinched then sighed. "O-okay Kacchan..But...you need to get that checked. Maybe Youzuke-kun will have the medicine, okay?" Izuku said, walking towards his own desk and taking out the papers. "Welp....I should get going and meet Mina downstairs. See ya later bros!" With that, Kirishima left.

 

Bakugou then mentally sighed. When is this day gonna fucking end?

 

Day 2 Tuesday-. . . Little
August, 12 XXXX
7:03 AM
@ The Class A agency

 

Katsuki was sitting on his chair, completely bored out of his ass. And the greenette wasn't at the office because he was on patrol. The explosive blonde sighed and twisted his chair around and around, not noticing someone entering the room. "Thank you so much for walking me here Shouto! You really didn't have to- oh, hey Kacchan!" Katsuki almost jumped from his seat when he heard Izuku talk. Bakugou straightened himself out and cleared his throat from the upcoming itch and slight burning climbing its way up his throat. Deku. You already done with your patrol?" He asked. "Y-yeah! It went smoothly honestly." Izuku giggled.

 

God fucking...that laugh is gonna be the death of me.

 

"Hmm, went smoothly with the patrol or went smoothly with Half n Half coz hell, y'all look like you're going out. Him going in or out with you in the agency, you're not good at hiding it. And, 'Shouto' huh? Looks like you're familiar with each other that much" Katsuki narrowed his eyes at his colleague when his face turned into a strawberry. "I-it not like that! W-we're just friends, really!!" Izuku waved his hands in denial. Friends huh? More like boyfriends. "Uhuh. No use lying to me shit nerd." Katsuki said, still frowning, enough to hide the fact that something is boiling deep within him.

 

It hurts so fucking bad, what the hell is wrong with me? He's gonna be fucking happy with that Half n Half bastard if they're together. I can't make him happy myself, not with what I've done to him all these years. He deserves someone who will fucking love him and take care of him. Someone who can make him the happiest motherfucker ever lived. And Halfie seems to be already doing that. Damn....When did I become so sappy. Fucking nerd for making me soft and shit. Just let me die in peace!

 

"Kacchaaaaaaannn!" The other male whined. "Alright, alright! Just...stop whining and get to fucking work damn nerd. I'm not gonna cover for your ass this time." He said as he threw his pen at the greenette who caught it effortlessly. "I know you don't have a fucking pen. Use it, it's yours now. I don't use that pen anyway." He lied, that's one of the greatest pen he had just because it lasted for three long years.

 

"But you don't-"

 

"Deku if you say anything stupid one more time I will end you. Who do you think I am?"

 

"The amazing Lord Explosion Murder who's always ready for anything. Thank you, Kacchan." Izuku smiled and went to his desk to resume his reports about his patrol. Bakugou's heart is almost beating out of his chest. Damn, who knew the nerd had so much impact on his life?

 


Day 9- Tuesday . . . No worries.
A ugust 19, XXXX
8:58 AM
@The Class A agency

 

Katsuki went on with his everyday life and it was torture. Seeing Izuku getting rather even closer to Todoroki is a lot to take in, especially when he needs to take an awkward beeline to the bathroom to cough petals to his heart...no...lungs content. The dual user is often going in the office to talk often to Izuku and sometimes with Katsuki. When the blonde's coughing fit got worse, Kirishima noticed and soon suggested that he should have it checked by the doctor but he declined, saying that it would disappear soon. But he knows that it won't ever disappear, even if he wants to. Kirishima and the squad often come with Katsuki where ever he goes, at first, this annoyed the blonde but he's grown accustomed to it once more. Brings back their high school memories. When he walked towards his office, he already expected Todoroki to be there but he certainly wasn't expecting what he saw just now.

 


They were making out.

 


He dropped the cup of boiling hot coffee he was holding, it scattered on the floor and most of the coffee landed on Katsuki's pants. "God fucking damn it!" He exclaimed as he turned back around to find the dustpan and the broom. "Oh my god, are you okay Kacchan?" the greenette rushed over to the blonde. "I was fucking fine til I saw you two sucking faces. I knew Half n Half would be here but I never knew I'd be in front line for watching your make out session, fucking Deku." He grumbled as he swept the broken pieces of his once favorite mug. More like the broken pieces of my goddamn heart. As prissy as that sounds. "Y-y-you saw that?!" Izuku turned as red as Kirishima's hair. "Yeah, the next time you're planning to do it, at least lock the door to avoid shocking the employees and spilling their boiling hot coffees on their pants. Ahh fuck that burns..."

 

Izuku looked down in shame but looked up again when the blonde flicked his forehead harshly. This made Midoriya's breath hitch and watched as Bakugou crouched down to pick up the broken glass walked away once more to throw the broken glass pieces and went to the locker room to change his now wet pants. Once he made it to the locker room, he hurried over to a nearby sink and started coughing violently. He once more covered his mouth with his hand and felt a familiar wet feeling on his already sweaty palms.

 


Damn it....give me a little more time, at least let me enjoy my last year in here! Without coughing out Shitty petals for the love of god.

 


When his coughing ceased, he took his hand out. Then....his eyes widened....his throat suddenly became dry....And his vision slightly blurred as he saw the last thing he expected to see out of his coughing fit, blood. Blood came out of his mouth. The blonde became pale as he stared at his hand.

 


Fuck ... It's becoming worse huh? Shitty motherfucking feelings. Fuck his irritatingly adorable freckled face for making me feel like this! You're fuckin killing me.

 


He quickly wiped his hands with the toilet paper and shook his head, trying to distract himself from the previous activity and started to gurgle water to clean his mouth. He stripped his pants and changed into the extra one he had in his locker. He contemplated whether to go back on his office or just go on an early patrol, but then he remembered that he had paperwork to finish. He sighed deeply and started walking back on their shared office. To his surprise, the nerd locked the door. He sighed deeply and knocked at the door. "Oi, you better open the damn door or I'll blow it up. I still have paperwork to finish." Katsuki said.

 

As if on cue, the door clicked open, revealing a very red faced broccoli. "Damn, icyhot sure did a number on you." the blonde sneered, and it made Izuku's face go red. "I-its really...n-not like tha-" "Don't even get me started with that shit, Deku." He cuts Izuku off then walks past the said greenette and to his desk, gathering the reports of this day's patrol.

 


Same date
8:00 PM

 


The blonde stretched as he headed down to the lobby. Finally. A lonely fucking time alone. He sighed happily because he's going to be alone in the privacy of his home and- "Heyyyy Bakuhoe!!" Mina said from behind him.

 


I spoke too soon.

 


"Call me that again and I'll shove my hand up your ass and blow you up Raccoon Eyes." He said as he glared at the pink haired girl. "Hmph, ruuuuddeeee!" She pouted and smacked his shoulder. "That's not how you talk to a girl! Geez. No wonder you're still single." Mina murmured the last part but it was loud enough for Katsuki to hear. "Ah?! I can get whoever the fuck I want Pink Face!" Bakugou sneered. "Oi, Shitty Hair! Go on a fucking date with me right now!" "Aww, sorry man. But bb Pikachu here would get all jelly." The redhead replied and hugged the other blonde.

 

Mina gripped her stomach and laughed so hard, "GHAHAHAHAAHAHHAA I CAN'T...PFFFTT- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT!!" "Damn right I did pink face. Now what the hell do you people want?" explodo boi raised and eyebrow questioningly. "To hang out of course! Don't you dare bring out an excuse young Pomeranian! C'mon, were going to that bar nearby, you obviously need to chill out hun." Mina says as he dragged the blonde towards the exit, the three boys, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero, followed behind. The blonde rolled his eyes, letting himself be dragged along. "I'm not dragging your drunk asses out of there, got it?!" Katsuki warned. "Yes, your majesty." Mina stopped dragging Bakugou and bowed down while the three behind them followed. Bakugou gave them a confused look when they looked up, and got even more confused when the squad suddenly laughed.

 

~°~

 

They all made it to the bar and rushed to a vacant seats for them to occupy. "Hey there gentlemen..and lady. What can I get for you?" the bartender asked. "I'll have the uh....hm...I don't really know the name but I'll just tell you the procedure of how to make it." Mina walked over to the table and asked if she can use the blender.

While Mina was on her business, Kaminari asked for gin and tonic while Kirishima and Sero had beer.

A day off would not be so bad if it does not involve these idiots. He thought, looking at the three other males who were staring back at him. "The fuck you idiots looking at?" He glared at them, with lesser heat than usual. "Nah man, just wondering why you're not drinking and enjoying yourself. That's the reason why we dragged you in here after all. " Kaminari, the person who always talked straight to the point, says as he took a sip of his drink. "Ah? Don't lump me in your stupidity. I'm your key out of here if ever y'all are drunk off your asses." the blonde said, annoyed and went back to his phone. "Hmmm, maybe he's just too scared to drink." Sero started. Both Kaminari and Kirishima waved their hands frantically as a warning because oh sweet baby jesus you would not want to see the Katsuki Bakugou angry. And everyone knows that. "The fuck you say Tape Dispenser?" he was now glaring holes into the black haired male.

"I said.."

"Sero-"

"You're just too-"

"Sero stop!!"

"Scared to drink."

"Who the fuck told you that I'm scared to drink, ah?!"

"No one, I did."

"Is that a challenge, Tape Dispenser?"

"Oh, my tolerance for alcohol is high. I don't think you can beat me though, oh your majesty. That's such a shame." Sero taunted. "I'll show you shame you dickwad! Shitty Hair and Pikachu, you keep count on how many we drank. I'm gonna beat your ass Sero." the blonde said, showing determination in his tone. "Oh it's on man. It's on."

They both ordered the strongest drinks they have at the bar and bought as many as they can. They took their shot glasses and faced each other. "May the sober man stand." Sero raised his glass as he spoke. "Doubt you will be able to stand Soy Sauce." The blonde does as well and clinked their glasses and swallowed the drink entirely. The blonde felt nothing better than to hold the coughing in because the burning of the alcohol running down his throat is adding to the already burning feeling that has been there for the past two months. "Shot! shot! shot! shot! shot! shot! shot!" Is what he heard as he kept drinking.

TIME SKIP~

"Ey- *hic* I'm as straight as my ruler, you bitches are just *hic* jealous..mghhhh" a certain explosive blonde slurred.

This always has been a problem, why?
Because Bakugou, The Bakugou Katsuki, has low tolerance in alcohol.

"Nu you're nooooott *hic* u stared at *hic* some guys butt the other day! HAHA HAHA" Sero rambled. "Nooo butts...just asses!" Katsuki babbled "oh yeah! *hic* asses!" "Whelp..there goes our key out of here if ever were getting drunk off our asses, he high af." Mina says as she took a sip of her drink. "It was Sero's fault at first anyways. But looks like Bakugou is having fun!" The redheaded male cheered. "Wait wait wait, watch this." Kaminari says, a hint of mischief coated his voice. "Hey Bakugou!"

"Whaa?" Bakugou turned to face the other hero who just smiled, "You said you're straight as your ruler right?" Kaminari asked. "Yeeeah..I brought my *hic* ruler with me....wanna see?" the ash blonde says as he rummaged through his bag, looking for his ruler. "GHAHAHAAHAHAHAH Y-YOU...YOU BROUGHT IT WITH YOU?? MAN THAT'S CLASSY HAHAHAHAAH" the electric blonde clutched on his stomach as he laughed so hard. "Mhhhmmm, damn right I *hic* did. I bring this every fuckin where...wid me...*hic*"

Eijiro did his best to hold his laughter in because it would hurt his bro's pride if he did. Or so he thought. "Since I keep...breakin the rulers I buy...when I get sooooo pissed..*hic* fuckin Zuku got me this....He knows how I love mah rulers....haha...damn De*hic*ku.." Katsuki laughed as he took out his bendable ruler. "See? Ish straight as I am fuckers!" he proudly stated and wiggled his ruler. Kaminari laughed even harder and soon, Mina and Kirishima followed.
"Whatchu laughin at??" Sero questioned the three. The three of them looked at each other for a second and bursted out laughing once more. "Oh my god this is the best day of my life!!" The electric blonde said as he wiped out the tear threatening to fall from his eyes. "I have to agree Pika, Bakugou is so adowabollll" Mina added and pinched Bakugou's chubby cheeks. "Mhmmm! Damn right I'm *hic* adorable ya assholes! Fuckin Deku just can't *hic* see it, tho...he's cuter than me...mnn where's my ruler?"

The three looked at each other in confusion. "Hey Bakugou, what do you mean Midoriya is 'cuter'?" Kirishima broke the staring contest happening between the three of the sober heroes. "He fuckin issss! His fuckin smile....his chubby freckled cheeks...his *hic* googly eyes.....and damn...he thicc.." the blonde chuckled and sat up straight. "Listen to this, don't tell anyone alright?? Like...shhhh!!" He says, putting a finger on his lip while shushing. The four nodded, including Sero who was now listening to their convo coz he felt neglected...still drunk but neglected. "When we were kids...seriously....shh!"

"ALRIGHT! JUST GET TO IT!" The three of the sober heroes yelled, can't handle suspense because of the curiosity. Sero on the other hand took another sip of his drink. "we were kids when we *hic* promised sumthin...." he trailed off, hastily remembering the hazy memory. "Yeah yeah, go on" Mina ushered. "We promised that....we'd get married....but pfffttt! He broke his promise...I mean *hic* It wasn't his fault that he hates me....I was being...*sniff* an ass to him. All those years, hell...I even told him to jump off the roof!" He looked down, voice filled with regret and pain. The three looked at him, eyebrows furrowed.

Was this really what he felt all these years towards Midoriya? They all thought. "And now....he's with fuckin Half n Half...he's happy I'm happy. Hehehe....sappy shit amayrayt?" He chuckled to himself. He raised his head as he was engulfed in warmth. Mina, Kaminari, Kirishima, and surprisingly, Sero, hugged him. The three felt sorry towards the blonde, they always thought that he hated the greenette because of how he's acting towards the other male. Guess actions can mean a lot of things. "It's alright man. We were surprised though, why were you mean to him in our UA years?" Kirishima asked, already knew that he's going to answer every single questions they're about to ask. He discovered a new thing about Bakugou, he's painfully honest when he's drunk. "That's coz...*hic*....I hate feelings..it makes you feel.....weak...but you're my...*hic* friends....I trust you assholes." He said, looking at them with truth reflecting his eyes.

"You're painfully adorable for a drunk hot head aren't ya Bakuhoe?" Mina once again pinched his cheek. The blonde groaned and laughed. Genuinely. This took the three aback and hugged him once more. "Heeyyyyy!! Whachu doin huggin Lord Explodo Murder??? I wanna hug tuuuuu!!" Sero whined. The three laughed and opened a spot for Sero to come in, and the black haired male happily complied. "Hey, why are we here talking about problems? We're here to have fun! Let's do fun instead of talking about depressing things!" Kaminari announced. "Yeah!" Kirishima, Mina, Sero, and the drunk blonde all yelled.

This is gonna be a long night for the squad. But a certain someone wished it would last forever.

Day 13 Saturday-. . . . Youzuke
August 23 XXXX
6:30 AM
@Katsuki's apartment

The blonde groaned, obviously annoyed because his alarm woke him up. He sat up for a minute then suddenly winced at the feeling in his head.

 

The fuck? Is it even fucking possible to have a hungover this long?! It been four goddamn days and Shitty Hair still won't shut up about it!

 

He angrily thought as he gripped his head and stood up. He walked wobbly towards his bathroom and stripped his clothes off. He even contemplated if he should get in the shower or not. His gut keep saying that he would slip inside the shower while his head says that he should take a shower or he'll stink. Listening to his head, he went in. He cautiously entered the showers before turning the faucet on. Water trickled down his body, washing the remains of yesterday's dust sticking in his body. He turned around, looking for his soap, which to his surprise, wasn't there. His head throbs again so he grips his head once more. He made a mistake of not looking down because this made him learn his lesson to listen to his gut before doing something. He slipped because of his soap.


Same date
7:14 AM
@The Class A agency/ Streets of Tokyo

He entered the agency and was pissed. He gave off an angry and scary aura that it made the other heroes and former classmates, avoid the blonde. This morning, he slipped in the shower, he burned the egg he was making, he stepped on shit, like....literal shit, and got to see Fucking Deku and Half n Half making out once more in the break room.

Like before, he has no problems with their relationship, as long as Izuku is happy. What ticked him off is that every time, every single time, he sees them together, his head throbs even worse than the one he had this morning, his chest aches, which he considered as a normal occurrence despite his desire to be the one on Izuku's side, protecting him at all cause, his throat burns and the coughing becomes worse and worse every fucking day, more blood coming out of his mouth. He paid no mind to it, considering that it would only get in the way of his hero work and neither did he tell anyone about it either.

10:34 AM

He was currently at Tokyo roaming because this was his patrol area....used to be their patrol area but things change, so does Izuku's patrol area. The greenette changed to the one near the agency because this happens to be the heterochromatic male's patrol area as well. Bakugou's jaw clenched the longer he thought about it. He was bored as fuck until he heard a scream. Fucking finally! He thought as he ran towards the source of the noise.

He ran towards a dark alley and cautiously approached the two silhouettes. "Come on lady, give me what I need and you're good to go~" an oddly soft and silky like voice echoed through the walls. "P-please....I-i need this for my- GAAAH! S-STOP IT.....PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" the woman whimpered in pain. Katsuki gritted his teeth. I'll kill that son of a bitch. "Ah ah ah~ that won't be fun now would it? Your stab wound hurts even more, right, RIGHT?? That's my quirk you see~" the villain laughed out loud and faced the blonde's way. "Shit.." He silently cursed to himself. "You see, my quirk increases the pain you're feeling, so its like going to the future! But of pain! It goes and goes and goes....until you're...dead! Great isn't it?! I can also know what kind of disease you're having. As for you.." as if on cue, the woman screamed in agony. "Alright cut the shit you fucking asshole. Let her go and we all go home in peace."

"Awwww that's no fun Explosion Murder-chan! Unless..." The surroundings became silent, the poor woman was left there whimpering, no sign of the villain. He goes out of his hiding spot and moves to reach out to the woman but finds himself being pulled back. He coughed hard as his back hits the concrete wall. "Heya, EX-PL-O-SI-ON CHAN!!~" the villain grinned widely as he walked in front of the blonde. "You've heard of my quirk, right, RIGHT? HAHAHA RIGHT???!" Katsuki grimaced when the villain laughed out loud. "You sick bastard!" Bakugou tried to grab the villain but the villain succeeded in dodging the blonde's arm. The other male grabbed Bakugou's arm and pulled the explosive hero towards him, placing his free hand on his chest.

The villain, if possible, grinned even widely as his eyes turned red. "Oh dear, what to we have here?~" the villain says. Katsuki's eyes went wide as the pain in his chest doubled...no....increased tenfold. So does the burning sensation in his throat. He started coughing violently until he tasted copper in his mouth. "Poor you....pinning for someone who didn't love you, he-ro-chan?~" the villain breathed excitedly at the blonde's reaction. "Who knew that a strong, hot, handsome, muscular, independent hero like you..would get hanahaki? Oh right! It's because of your attitude isn't it?!" the other male giggled, while the blonde silently pleaded to make the pain stop as he patted the villain's harm. "Hey now, do they know? No? Poor hero can't even get the love of his life! What did you do?" The villain questioned, his eyes filled with seriousness. "

"Bully them? Tormented their everyday lives a few years back? Always thought they looked down on you? Ignored them throughout the years? Tsk tsk tsk that's bad, Hero-chan" the villain tuts. The blonde's vision is starting to have black spots, his chest feels like it's tearing apart, his throat feels as if it's about to melt, his mouth pooled with blood, man....probably even dripping down his chin as his head is fees like it's being pounded.

I can't pass out! Stay awake Katsuki! You have to stay awake to save this woman and kick this crazy villain's ass! But....my body is not listening to me. GOD DAMN IT! fuck fuck fuck FUCK! IT HURTS!

Katsuki coughed up violently, blood splattered on the villain's face. And the crazy man just fucking squealed. Then.....there It is.....crazy villain held his index and thumb finger pinched a very much familiar petal in front of the blonde's face.

"Facinating! Is poppy your favorite flower!? Matches your eyes He-ro-ch-aaaaan!!~" He squealed as he held up the petal, staring at it, fascinated by the red flower drowned in blood, making it even more red. He licked his lip as Katsuki's blood started dripping on his mouth. "It tastes sweet! Well,I gotta see ya later, nice meeting you Lord Explosion Murder-Chan! Ciao!" the male winked at him as he let go of Katsuki who ended up kneeling and wheezing as the pain tripled. He stood up, gripping his chest. He stuck his hand out and blasted his way through. He kicked the villain's back and knocked him out cold.

That was surprisingly fucking easy....but I can't underestimate hi- AACK!

He gripped his chest once more and coughed his guts out. He covered his mouth with his arm and soon, he felt that disgusting feeling that stuck on his arm. He already knew what it was but still chose to see it. There was nothing new about it, it's just the petal again, when he coughed once again, more and more petals came out of his itching, burning throat. Katsuki flinched when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked over to see the lady who almost got mugged earlier. "I'm....hngh...s-so...sorry You have to go through this, Lord Explosion Murder..." the woman gently says. "I'll call the police and ambulance now." she says as she picked up her phone and dialed 911. "Ma'am, you must remain calm and wait until the authorities arrives. Does your stab wound still hurt?" Katsuki manages to croak out. "N-not really! He only....ahhh...d-doubled the pain..." she hissed. "Are you okay though sir? Y-you're...c-c-coughing....b-blood....oh god....you have....you have hanahaki don't you?! A-and he doubled...n-no....even TRIPLED the pain! This..This is bad.." the woman covered his mouth with her hand as she gasped in shock. His eyes widened but shook the thought off and tipped his head slightly. "The fuck is that?" He asked..no....lied, while tying the villain down with the rope he found nearby. "You...you...n-nevermind!" She squeaked.

It took a while for the police to come to their aid. Katsuki was wheezing, apparently, while the woman asked the paramedics to inspect the blonde hero instead of her because she quote, just have a stab wound and it would be fine due to time but the hero's condition is far more worse than hers, and quote. The paramedics looked at the blonde, utterly confused but soon got yelled at by the blonde telling them to fuck off his personal space and treat the woman's wound because it would be infected if they just stood there deciding at which one they should treat.

As soon as they apprehended the villain, Katsuki flew back to the agency. He then proceeded to his office, and this time, he remembered to knock. When no one answered, he was confused, till it dawned on him. Today was Izuku's day off. How could he forget. He entered the room and sat on his chair then started typing the reports for the villain attack he handled in Tokyo. Some time later, he started coughing. As usual, like every...other proper person would do, he covered his mouth, later on feeling the wetness of his hand. He uncovered his mouth and looked at his palm.

Two petals sat on his hand while surrounded by blood stains.

His hands trembled. He was scared. Scared of the fact that death is coming from him. Even the Bakugou Katsuki gets scared. He's a human too, not a war machine! But the blood tho...it was too much..did he accidentally poison himself? He's gonna sue Starbucks if he finds out that they put poison on his Cappuccino. He grits his teeth and picked the petals up, puts it in his mini zip lock bag, for safekeeping and for tests. He clenched his chest as he felt that pricking on his lungs once more. His stomach started acting too. He wanted to vomit so bad. His head started throbbing and his throat starts burning once more. Katsuki gripped his desk with his free hand until his knuckles turned white. When he coughed, he also felt the acid climbing it's way to his already burning throat. He felt something drip down his chin, wasn't even sure if that was saliva or something else. His ruby eyes shot around, looking for something he can puke on.

There has to be something, please! I-i can't...hold it...please....someone.. h-help..

Then his frantic eyes widened even more, his eyebrows skewed when someone came in. He panics, which is bad because was already wheezing and his lungs felt like it was set on fire, thinking that it was Izuku who suddenly came in the office. But to his surprise, he saw a glimpse of red and white. It was Todoroki. When Todoroki finally came in, he looked around until he found Katsuki's form. Shaking, wheezing. He quickly approached the blonde and caught him in time of his fall off the chair. "Bakugou!" he calls out. "Bakugou, can you hear me?! Hey!" he tried again.

Katsuki glared at him weakly then glanced at the trashcan that was abandoned by the door. The heterochromatic male followed his gaze and placed Katsuki at the wall so his back is placed flat, and scrambled to get the trashcan. He came back to the blonde and gave him the trashcan. Katsuki quickly grabbed it and finally, finally, emptied his guts out. The smell of metal quickly infiltrated the smell of citrus in the room. Shouto's eyes widened as he saw red stuff slowly filling almost half of the trashcan. He grabbed his phone to dial 911 but was stopped when he felt something tugging his hand.

"Bakugou, I'm gonna need you to stay still. I'm going to call the hospital so-" "NO! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE HALFIE!" He cut the dual user off. "Wh...why? Bakugou, you need to get-" "I said no! I'..I'll be fucking fine...j-just..." He stopped and hurled once more. "I'm calling, don't try to stop me."

"D-don't....don't You dare...Shouto."

Todoroki paused, heterochromatic eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time he called him by his real name. Luckily, Shouto took this as a serious calling from the blonde.
"You can't possibly think that I'll leave you like this, Bakugou!" he yelled. "N-no....just...drop me off at the goddamn clinic and have your lovely doves time with De- what the ever loving fuck are you doing?"

"Calling someone."

"You fuckwad I literally told you not to- HURGHH"

"I'll call in Kirishima."

He watched as Todoroki ran out of the office. Too late for Katsuki to properly protest. Not that he could because he felt the air rush out of his lungs the moment Halfie left him to himself. Katsuki leaned on the wall behind him as he wheezed, desperate to have air inside his lungs again.

Later on, he heard panicked footsteps are approaching the room and someone on the other side yelled "BAKUGOU!" that voice, it was Kirishima's. Bakugou groaned loudly and judging by the silence, Kirishima heard it. The redhead (almost) kicked the door off its hinges, his eyes visibly widens when he saw his best friend sprawled on the ground with his trashcan beside him. He runs towards the blonde and his eyes bulged out of his skull when he noticed the red substance in the trashcan. A faint metallic scent still wavering in the room, Kirishima grimaced and covered his nose. "Hey man, we're going to call the ambulance alright? I'm gonna need you to stay still until-"

"shut...up.."

"But-"

With all strength he had at the moment, the blonde threw (slid) the trashcan for the two heroes to letting the redhead and Todoroki see the full view.

The trashcan was half full of....red petals?

Now that Kirishima thinks about it, the metallic scent he picked up earlier was gone. Katsuki on the other hand was regaining his composure and thankfully started breathing properly again.

"I...what....why are there petals in there?" Kirishima asks. "I had a villain encounter today. It must be the fucker's quirk, I've been puking fucking petals since I got from the fight." "But the blo-" "he punched me so hard. I forgot to wipe this nasty liquid shit because I was on a rush to finish the reports. That enough explanation?" "Phew....for a second there I thought you had hanahaki...not that it's true though....right?" the redhead rambled. "But you-" "Look, Prince Zuko, If you're so worried then take me to the goddamn clinic instead of whining." Katsuki cuts off Todoroki before he can say anything. "Yes, of course." is all he says as he slowly led the blonde out of the office while Kirishima followed behind them.

As they were on their way to the clinic, Todoroki noticed that the usually explosive blonde is eerily quiet. He peeked at the blonde's face and noticed that Bakugou is paler than usual, he cleared his throat, hoping to catch the blonde's attention. And it worked like a charm. "What?" He asked all groggy. "Are you alright?" "I already fucking told you didn't I Halfie?! I'm fi-" he stopped when he stumbled sideways, luckily, Todoroki was fast enough to catch the almost-going-out-of-his-conciousness blonde. Kirishima rushed to their sides and held Katsuki's shoulder tightly "this happens when he gets stressed out after a villain fight."

"This happened before?"

"It started two months ago. He just suddenly collapses."

"Let's just get him to the clinic."

Eijiro couldn't help but nod and they both dragged him towards the clinic. They opened the door and was surprised to see the nurse already standing by the door. "Figured you'd show up." the nurse says while staring at both males. "What do you ne-" he stops and scowled. "What did Pomeranian do this time, eh, Red Riot-san?" he asked the redhead as he led them to one of the beds in there. "He had a villain encounter earlier today."

"And started coughing flowers if that's even normal." Todoroki added. "Coughing flowers...you say?" the brunette squinted and eyes the unconscious blonde. "Yes" Is all Shouto replied. "What exactly did he do to his insides this time? Don't tell me he broke one of his ribs and it scratched his lung leaving it to bleed and after the doctors told him he broke a rib and scratched his lung resulting in having an internal bleeding, of course, he got high with anesthesia and complained about the doctor saying that internal bleeding is bad and he yelled 'that's where blood supposed to be'? Fucking prick, that time he called me of all people." he rambled as he took the blonde's calloused hand and clenched his other and his eyes started to glow as he does what he's made to do. "Phew, that went wayyy faster than I expected." Youzuke chuckled.

Youzuke Nagame Bakugou
Quirk: Medicine Make (trust me, I've had enough naming things for three weeks. I succ.) He makes the medicine depending on the person's illness and it heals 10 times faster than it's original healing time. So....who needs prescriptions when you have him? Don't worry, he's a pharmacist.

"Now. Can you make him sit up?" Youzuke requests. Kirishima raised his eyebrow "won't that like...trigger the cough-" "unless you want him to choke, that's an option too." He says, staring sternly at the two male heroes who gave him weird looks. They both obeyed anyway, they made the blonde sit up, they heard the blonde groan slightly. "Aww....too bad, he can't choke in any way now that he's awake....oh well, maybe next time his ass lands back here." Youzuke pouted. "Drink, your lousy ass isn't gonna heal itself yknow."

"Shut the fuck up Youzuke, I'm gonna shove one of my goddamn grenades down your throat if you keep talking."

"Ohhh? Kinky bastard"

"One!"

"Alright alright, snort your coke couz, ya obviously need it."

Katsuki rolled his eyes and took the pill his cousin offered. "So, the hell did you do? Scratched your lung again?" Youzuke looked at his cousin with his periwinkle eyes. Katsuki did the same thing so they're practically having a staring contest. But staring holes into each other. "No. And that shit's none of your business." He glared at the brunette. "So...what's wrong with Bakugou?" Todoroki cuts in. Both Bakugous stared at the two heroes, completely forgetting that the other two was there as well. "Ah! He's just having a coughing fit. He's too busy playing hero that he forgot that he might have swallowed dust on the way. Anyway, can you two leave us be for a minute? I need to talk to him, keeping up with the Bakugous." Todoroki opened his mouth to protest but luckily Kirishima read the mood and dragged the heterochromatic male out of the room. As soon as the door clicked shut, Youzuke made his way to his desk to check on the CCTVs in and out of the room, to make sure no one eavesdrop them as they have their....most likely important...discussion. "So, Katsu-chan, I'm going to ask you questions that you have to answer properly." he fixes his glasses and the blonde cussed himself because his cousin is starting to look like his father, but more talkative. "Fucking fine. It better be not about how I broke my rib or some shit."

"That was five months ago!"

"And your noisy ass keeps bothering me about it."

"Fine. When did this start?"

"A year and a half."

"Wait...seriously? Wow...that's...wow. In most cases...well technically 15-20 years ago a lot of people-"

"Get to the point or I'll make you swallow your goddamn goldfish."

"Alright! No need to drag Zeus into this, geez. Most cases lasts for at least 3-4 months, from what I heard. But yours? Rarest case, possibly the first one. Alright, who is it?"

"What do you mean 'who is it'?"

"Who is it? The cause of this bullshit? You know how this....works, right? Unrequited love? Yeah?"

The blonde looked down and became quiet. He just can't tell him that 'oh hey I'm gay and I'm in love with motherfucking Pro Hero Deku who's head over heels with his boyfriend'. "Katsuki-kun. LEM, ever since we were children, I looked up to you. Every time you visit Osaka, I'm always excited to play with you, hell, even mom says that I might become you one day." The brunette smiled. "So, don't let this disease take you down, alright? It's either you confess to Izuku-kun or-" "Wait, hold the fuck up, how did you know it was-"

"You also told me that when you were high as fuck with the anesthesia. You were adorable btw. Still have a video on that, it was hilarious." He laughed to himself and Katsuki gave him a death stare. "So it's either you confess to Izuku-kun or....you....get the surgery. It's....It pretty common..." Katsuki gaze hardened, he knew about the surgery and what it would do to him if he did it. He's not going to be able to be Izuku's hero if he...isn't there for him....or he is but.... "Katsuki-kun, I know it'll be hard for now. But it would be best if you do the surgery like I suggested, it could save your life, y-your future. Everything! You could-" "I'm not doing the surgery...Youzuke." He said quietly. He watched as the other's eyes widened in surprise. "What?" Youzuke asks. "I said....I won't do the surgery. I can't." He looked down once more. To be honest....He was scared. Scared of dying, but...if It means that Izuku will have a happy and better future even if it means he won't be a part of it, he'd gladly take a bullet for the nerd.

"Katsuki-kun. That is a reckless thing to do! Risking your life for someone else who doesn't even love you back?! Your life is more important than any other memory you have together! Memories will be made once you see each other again! Your life can't be restored, Katsuki-kun! Think about that!" Youzuke spat at his cousin. His eyes were furious, and so was the ruby ones. "You don't have a fucking clue about my life, Youzuke. The shitty memories of us beating each other's ass and beating those Fucking villains asses are the ones that are keeping me active for the past year. This might be my last year thanks to that creepy ass villain who jumped at me earlier and speed up the process of killing me. I'm not going to waste the remaining time I have on this shitty place called earth if I...if I can't remember him. That Shitty Nerd has been there my entire goddamn lifetime. I...I can't stop loving that fucking nerd, as prissy as that fucking sounds! I won't be able to be his hero if I don't even know who he is!"

"Oh but I'm sorry, life isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, sometimes you have to sacrifice everything to make sure something or someone is safe, but sometimes..." The brunette inhaled sharply before continuing. "You gotta sacrifice that thing in order to save them. Katsuki-kun, there are other ways. You can still be his hero even if it means losing your memories of him, you can save him in different ways. Start by doing the surgery, or have the balls to tell him, maybe he'll reciprocate your feelings and it'll all be gone." Youzuke chuckled. "It's crazy how love can kill you in such a beautiful yet brutal way. Right?"

"I'll....give me some time to think about the surgery. Alright? Maybe...maybe I'll come by. Thanks anyway, Youzuke." Katsuki says quietly as he stood up and walked out of the office. As he figured, Kirishima was there. He looked around and Kirishima must have noticed because he said that Todoroki needed to have something done so he went back to his office to finish it. He nodded and went to his office as well. When he arrived, Izuku was there and when the greenette noticed him, he flashed the blonde the most blinding smile. He never want to forget what it feels like to see that smile every day. Bakugou just grunted and went to his desk.

I need rest. Maybe even the morning will be fucking merciful and be kind to me. He thought.

Day 16 Tuesday-. . . Todoroki's response
August 26, XXXX
5:30 PM
@The Class A agency

It's been two days since the so-called "Bakusquad" knew about his disease and I gotta tell you, they have been super protective of the blonde since then. Why, you ask? Well, they walked with the blonde wherever he goes, even changed their patrol routes! Bakugou didn't mind despite them pissing him off constantly he bared with it. Whenever they walk by Bakugou's office, they just give a certain greenette a simple "hi" before walking off. This confused the freckled hero but he brushed it off by saying a confused "hi". The blonde always ended up giving himself a mental face palm due to their actions. Izuku of all people, he's smart and he'll surely know that something is going on in a few days. He has also noticed that the OFA user and the dual user were...exposing their relationship. Well..it's not like-

"So...Bakugou-san, are you going?" Momo suddenly asked. "Ah?" he asked, snapping out of his trance. Seeing a certain greenette giving him a worried look. "I said, are you going to the Gala tomorrow? Since you're the number two hero, I highly suggest that you-" "Yeah yeah, I'm going. Just this once." He cut her off, glancing to the side, he saw Izuku resting his hand on top of Todoroki's and silently giggled about something the dual user said. Katsuki felt the urge to cough out but he can't risk being seen by the entire heroes who had gathered at the meeting room. Unfortunately, he can't hold it in, the burning in his throat reminded him so he coughed luckily his hand was quick enough to cover his mouth. Once he retracted his hand, he saw another petal covered in blood. His hand shook with fear and clenched it tightly. Bakugou quickly stood up and strode towards the door, he could barely make out what Yaoyorozu asked to him that he just replied "bathroom" then got out.

The blonde went to the nearest stall and quickly crouched down and grabbed the sides of the toilet and coughed up violently. His lungs feels like a fragile glass about to break his throat feels like it's about to get ripped out of his neck and his head feels like it's about to split in half. He continued coughing for about five minutes until it started to become more bearable. He groaned and pushed his back against the wall for support and breathed heavily. Looking at the toilet made him think of a woman having a baby on the toilet due to the amount of blood he got out of his body. "How the hell am I still alive?" He thought out loud. The blonde started to catch his breath until he heard someone knock on the door of his stall. "Bakugou? Are you alright?" A monotone voice echoed through the bathroom. Shit! "The fuck are you doing here Icyhot?!" His voice cracked as he spoke, silently pleading that the heterochromatic male won't notice the tone of his voice. "I've been here since you got in, are you alright? You have been coughing for...two months according to Izuku." Oh great, their on first name basis huh? "I'm fucking fine. Why are you here asshat?" The blonde asked, wincing through every word he just said. "I'm here to check on you. It seems to me that you are not feeling well, ever since last week when we took you to your cousin, you've been acting rather distant." Todoroki explained. "And what's it to you if I've been 'distant', ah? Last time I checked, we aren't close so it's natural to be 'distant' to you you weirdo." Katsuki retorted, never wanting to argue once more since his throat feels raw. "Point taken..but tell me, who is it, Bakugou?" The male on the other side of the door asked. Ruby eyes widened as he heard the question. H-how?! "The hell do you mean 'who is it'? Who is who?" His eyes darted around as he panicked. It can't be that Shitty Hair and the other idiots spilled my secret...right?!

"Dont play koi with me. Who is it. The cause of your disease? I've known for a while that you have hanahaki, Bakugou. I just want to help." Shouto says, voice laced with tiny bit of concern. Help my ass, you're making it worse. "How...how did you know?" Katsuki asks. "Youzuke told me. Don't take it out on him, I asked him to tell me. Now, answer my question, I answered yours even though mine was the first one." "Tch, smartass." "Bakugou." Todoroki warned. "Why would I tell your emotionless ass?" Katsuki snarked. "Because I wanted to help you. It's not against my will. I helped you in our first year in UA when you were-" "Shut your trap Icyhot and stop bringing that up like I owe your ass something." Katsuki sighed from the other side of the door.

"Would you even believe me if I tell you?"

"Try me."

"Then would you believe if I say it's you?"

"Wh-what?"

"See? There's no point in telling you if you won't even believe a word I fucking said!"

"You're not being serious here Bakugou."

"Did I say I am?"

"No."

"Then that's the answer. No."

"What do you mean 'no'?"

"No, I won't tell you."

Katsuki can picture the other male staring at the stall door in frustration. All he ever wanted was for the heterochromatic male to go away and mind his own fucking business. "Bakugou" he hears Shouto saying but it was softer, more patient than before. It triggered the explosive blonde. "Oi, why?" He grinded his teeth in frustration. Why won't this half n half asshole won't leave me alone?! To rub in the fact that he's with the love of my life?! To- "Because I'm worried. Izuku too, Yaoyorozu...min'na. (Everyone) You think it's not noticeable that you are in fact hiding something?" Todoroki let out an exaggerated sigh before continuing. "We might not be close, but you yourself have taught me something over the years. Pride is a great personal version of defense and of avoiding reality. You suffered long enough Bakugou. Two years of loving someone who doesn't love you back, year of carrying this disease everyday."

Katsuki stayed silent for the longest time. He already knows too much. No use hiding it from him now.. He decided. So he stood up, flushed the toilet and wiped his mouth before opening the door revealing a still emotionless face of Todoroki Shouto. "I don't know why you're meddling with business that obviously doesn't concern you...you're obviously doing this for Izuku's sake." The blonde stated then walks towards the sink to face his reflection. "No, I was stating the truth. We are worried." Todoroki speaks. "Now, tell me. Who is it? Maybe me and the others can help."

"No, you would make it even worse than you think, Half n Half. I'm probably at my second to the last stage...and besides. He already loves someone else." Todoroki furrowed his eyebrows when he punctuated the word "he" "I'm going to ask you one more time...who-"

"It's Izuku....Deku."

Silence filled the entire bathroom when Katsuki said-...no...revealed the truth. "I....I'm taking the surgery tomorrow. Remember the contract that All Might offered us on our graduation?" The blonde asks, he opens the door and had a very clear view of the heterochromatic hero's shocked face. "Bakugou....You're leaving the agency?" He asks. "Yes, I signed it last week and let Toshinori know. I'll be leaving on Friday, to America." The blonde confidently spoke.

"Bakugou-" "I don't need your fucking pity, Half n Half. And now that you're here do me a fucking favor. I already informed Ponytail, don't...tell Izuku. If he finds out and shows up on America I swear to God I'll fly back here and blast your ass to 10 years of your life, got that halfie?!" Todoroki seemed unfazed by the threat but nodded anyway. Katsuki opened his mouth but just in time, he started coughing, causing Shouto to push him back to the stall and let him have it.

Katsuki kept coughing til blood splattered on the toilet. He glanced back at Half N Half only to see his sympathetic expression. "I said I don't need your pity halfie!" He managed to croak out before ducking back to cough, trying to get rid of the scratching on his throat. He knows what's coming. The ash blonde made a choking sound before he looked into the bowl and saw a withered poppy. "Its...it's becoming worse. Bakugou I.."

"Save it! There's a vacation ticket for tomorrow's Gala right? That should be enough to distract Shitty Deku right?" Bakugou stood up and wiped his mouth once more. "Distract Izuku? Why?" The blonde turns around and looked at him dead in the eyes. "God knows why- OF FUCKING COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO ASK THAT! That, Todoroki is because I don't want him questioning MY ass off alright?!"

Todoroki stood still, looking into his blood red eyes, suspecting that Bakugou is hiding something. Todoroki wasn't surprised that the blonde is hiding something because he wasn't really the open type but in this situation, he's eager to know. "Bakugou."

"What?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

"I'm not playing games here."

"You think I am in the mood for playing games?"

"What are the aftermath of the surgery?"

Bakugou stood there silently, wiping his mouth. "Bakugou-"

"I'll forget him."

"What?"

"Do I really need to repeat everything I say, Halfie? I said I'll forget him, Deku. Just him."

The blonde pushed passed the dual user and went to the sink to gurgle the remnants. He side glanced Shouto before groaning. "What's your deal, Half n Half?" Todoroki turned to face him, giving him a confused look. "Deal? I'm afraid you have to be more specific, Bakugou."

"Why the hell do you look guilty, hah? First, you look at me with pity. Now you look guilty? So what's your fucking deal? I'll literally give you my position of number two hero and the love of my ever fucking miserable life. Aren't you supposed to be happy, Shouto?"

The dual user flinched at the sound of his own name coming from Bakugou's mouth. Sure, it's the first time but he took this as a sign of seriousness. But the crack of the blonde's voice fails to hide the fact that he's about to break down. "Bakugou," Todoroki started "I'm not happy, not going to be either, about the fact that you are going away. Far, far, away." He takes a step closer to the blonde. "I'm not happy that I'm going to be the next top two hero of Japan without any challenges."

Another step.

"About the fact that you're about to lose everything-"

"Oh please, I could still become a hero-"

"This isn't about you being a hero! This" he pokes the blonde's chest hard enough to lightly shove him. "Is about you losing half of everything. Most of your memories has Izuku in it. You're probably going to be-"

"What am I supposed to do then, ha?! Let this shitty fucking flowers grow and kill me literally? Watching..." his voice broke as he let out a silent sob. "Watching you two is more than enough to kill me faster. This is my last year...what do you expect me to do?" He said silently while looking down. "Bakugou.."

"You love him don't you?"

"I.."

"Don't you?" Katsuki repeated more loudly, voice still cracking.

"Yes. I love Izuku, he's everything I could ever ask for."

Katsuki winced at his words but still chose to push the feeling down. "He loves you too, Icyhot. Since UA. The shitty nerd won't shut up about you." Katsuki chuckled dryly and grabs the other hero's shoulders, shaking iof slightly. "Don't you fucking dare break his heart. Make him the happiest motherfucking nerd ever lived." that's all Katsuki says and pats the other's shoulder and took his leave.

Day 17 Wednesday-. . . Happier
August 27, XXXX
7:00 PM
@Katsuki's apartment

The explosive blonde did a lot of thinking, about what Todoroki said. Yes, Halfie said a lot of things that hit him straight to the point but...should he really let this disease get the best of him and just be a nuisance to their relationship? He himself even thinks that he's an asshole just from thinking of it. And-

"Hey guys, do I look hot or do I look hot? Hmm...I can't actually decide." Kaminari pouted as he took a look at himself at the mirror. Yeah, the Bakusquad is at his apartment at this very moment because they had a feeling that the ash blonde might ditch the Gala since he's not a fan of these events. "You look the hottest babe." Kirishima walked beside his boyfriend ande kissed his cheek, earning a giggle from the blonde beside him. "Thanks baby. Y'all better wear your glasses or you'll go blind."

"I'd rather go blind than witness...Whatever the ever loving fuck that is you douches are doing." The ever so familiar rough voice rang out in the living room. "You're just jealous man. Your quirk might be explosive but nothing's more explosive than my A-" "Don't even think about finishing that sentence you induced fuck or I'll blow you up." He threatened the couple who just giggled and continued with their own business.

Bakugou was wearing a white tuxedo. His hair is kept back, less....explody.. than his usual hairstyle. "You look handsome in that too Bakugou, not gonna lie. No wonder Harumi-chan is head over heels with ya." Mina winked at the blonde as she fixes her boyfriend's tie. "Dude...she even fainted when she touched Katsuki's biceps. You ladies sure are weird." Sero retorted. "Me too?" Mina pouted. "Of course not. You're unique!" He says as he pecked her in the lip. A certain hot headed blonde grimaced, he was reminded once more that he was the only one who's left single in the group.

Motherfuckers.

"Are y'all ready? We have to leave in like....three minutes. It's half an hour drive from here to the venue." Eijiro reminded the squad. "All ready, lezgoo!!" The pink skinned girl whopped excitedly and grabbed Sero's wrist and lead him out of the room, the three followed behind the couple. "Alright, get your asses in." Katsuki says as he unlocked his car. "Holy shit this is exciting!" Ashido exclaimed. Kirishima sat in the shotgun while Ashido, Sero, and a pouting Kaminari sat behind. Bakugou pulled his phone out and typed in a short message to a certain someone then started the engine, backed up, and drove to their destination.

Katsuki:

I change my mind, I'm not gonna get the surgery, Youzuke .

~°~

 

The drive to the venue was as loud as Katsuki imagined it would be. Having Mina, Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari in one place would be described as disaster, Katsuki was surprised that his car hadn't exploded yet. (considering the squad's loud mouths and Katsuki's explosive personality, it pretty much would end up disastrous.)

Ashido and Kaminari gawked at the sight. The place was filled with big ass chandeliers and even the place itself is probably 5 times bigger than Katsuki's apartment (Katsuki has a big ass place, what did y'all expect??) "Wow....this is like...The most beautiful place I've ever seen...second if you consider Kiri's apartment." Denki says while walking holding hands with Mina like high school girls being noticed by their crushes. "No, Todoroki's is bigger....and more cleaner than Eijiro's. No offense man." "None taken but ouch."

"Guys! You made it, I'm glad." Yaoyorozu approached them as soon as she noticed the squad entering the venue. "Bakugou-kun, I'm so glad you kept your promise....although...you'll be leaving for states in a few days. But thank you for joining this Gala for the last time." She smiled whilst Eijiro and the others gave him a 'care to explain' look on their faces. He sighed in defeat, looked at Yaoyorozu in her black yet gentle eyes. "Oi, Momo." She looked back at his ruby eyes, surprised that his usual angry red eyes is calm and unmistakably gentle. "Yes, Bakugou-kun?" He sighed and gathered up his courage to let it out. "Do me a favor while I'm gone, alright?" "Of course Bakugou-kun! Anything." "...don't..tell Deku where I went or why I left....that's the same to you four." Katsuki's soft red eyes landed on his friends which gave him the confused looks. "What? But Bakugou, he would be devastated! He wouldn't stop until he finds out!" Ashido cut in. She had a point but it's for the best. "Please." Is all he said before he heard a soft, sad sigh coming from the Jet Black haired woman. "Never worry! Your information is safe with me, Bakugou-kun! I'll keep my mouth shut!" Momo smiled with a tinge of sadness with it. She let out a surprised squeak when the once hot headed blonde who doesn't like physical contact..hugged her. Yaomomo smiled once more and hugged back, hearing a quiet 'thank you' from the blonde. "Maybe the reward trip to the beach will give you time to pack your things while Midoriya-kun's in there for the entire week! Friday, was it? He'll be gone by Friday though so I bet he'll be back next Friday." Yaoyorozu explained before continuing. "Let's not make this night a depressing night! We're here to thank the Wonder Duo for their hard work after all! Enjoy yourselves, heroes!" She cheered before leaving the group to do her own thing. "So? Kindly explain Blasty?" The pink haired hero crossed her arms and tapped her foot although it is muffled by her floor length gown. "I've signed the contract All Might offered after our graduation. That's where Jiro and Ojiro are currently working. In America." He explains, earning a bear hug from the group. "We're gonna miss you Bakubro! Man...No more LEM in Japan huh??" Kirishima says as he pulled the group closer. "Would you ever stop calling me that? And no. Lord Explosion Murder would...be permanently gone.." He trailed off.

"Wait wait, what do you mean 'permanently gone'?! You're not coming back?!" Mina cried "What the hell? no! Maybe?....I don't fucking know! But I'll be renewing my hero contract in order to work there, so that just means I'll be needing a new hero name so that none of you fuckers would find me when you search in Google." He sneered....or wheezed because he was already squeezed to death. "Let go of me!"
And they did as soon as they heard someone yelling 'the number one hero is here!'. They turned around to see the green haired hero hand in hand with no other than Todoroki Shouto. Katsuki felt his chest squeeze but forced himself to calm down. When the couple passed by Katsuki and the group of heroes with him, Todoroki's heterochromatic eyes made eye contact with Katsuki's red ones. And almost immediately, his eyes were flooded with pure sadness and just nodded towards the blonde as a silent greeting and Katsuki nodded in return.
Eijiro, Denki, Ashido, and Hanta noticed their silent exchange and looked at each other. Todoroki knew they simultaneously thought.

~°~

 

Later on, Bakugou and his usual group were talking by the bar (mostly yelling by Katsuki but whatever.) "I FUCKING TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE A 'dirty little secret' YOU FUCKING ASSHATS!" He yelled at them, denying everything that comes out of their mouths. "Oh, really? Then what were those broken rulers doing in your bathroom then?" Kirishima questioned the blonde while Ashido and the two males are already wheezing to death as they watch Katsuki's face went red from sheer anger and embarrassment. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN MY GODDAMN BATHROOM?! JERK OFF?!"

"NO! BRO NO THAT'S AN UNMANLY THING TO DO!!"

"Babe....you did that without me knowing?" The electric blonde stopped laughing dramatically puts his hand to his chest, pretending to be hurt.

"Baby, noooo. You know I wouldn't do that." Kirishima makes his way towards the other blonde and wrapped his arms around his waist. "Get a fucking room. Just not my fucking bathroom please." Katsuki retorted, gagged on the way. "Awww our lil Blasty is jelly? Won't it be better to fill your tummy? HEY THAT RHYMES!" Mina cheered. "You could make a poem out of that Babe!" Sero joined in kissing his girlfriend's cheek. "I'm a poem writer!" "Yeah a fucking bad one at that." Katsuki murmured but loud enough for Mina to hear and took a sip of his champagne. "Stop being so damn meaaannnn!" The pink haired girl whines and slaps the blonde's shoulder playfully. "I'm never fucking nice-" he suddenly bends forward and coughs.

Fucking fuck....why now?

"You alright Bakugou?" the redhead rushes over to his friend and rubs circles against Katsuki's back. "I'm fine.." He says when his coughing ceased and wiped his mouth with a tissue by the counter when he felt something trickle down his chin. Bakugou looked back when a very much familiar kind of high pitched voice called his name.

Deku..

"Hi, Kacchan! Hi guys!" The green haired hero greets then as he approached the bar counter they were in. "Hey Midoriya!" Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina, and Sero greeted simultaneously. Katsuki just avoided his partner (at work, yes he reminds himself that they weren't romantically partners every damn day.) 'S gaze and focused on his drink. Wide green eyes found themselves staring at the blonde in front of him. It made Katsuki's heart beat fast just from under Izuku's gaze. "Deku." He finally spoke. "Hi, Kacchan." Izuku replied.

I should tell him....should I? What if he gets angry? I don't want to leave him with grudge on me...I can't let that happen but....this weight stuck in my goddamn chest won't go away....so Maybe if a tell him....it would....at least no more heavy chest for the rest of my remaining days...fuck.... I'll tell him...

"Hey Deku, can you...can we talk outside for a bit?" He asks the greenette who looked at him and nodded with a little 'sure'. Katsuki walked towards the balcony where he can see the shine of the full moon. It's almost....calm... His train of thoughts were cut off when he hears the smaller male close the door behind him. "Wow...the moon is brighter than usual it's beautiful! anyway...what did you want to talk about, Kacchan?" Izuku slightly tilts his head in question. Katsuki's hand shook, he gulped audibly. What did he wanna talk about? Him. His mouth opened and closed but nothing came out. "It's okay Kacchan, take your time but not too long though, we don't want to miss the entire program." The greenette giggled. "Deku...I.."

"Yes?"

" I'm sorry. "

"Kacchan...what for? You haven't done anythi-"

"No! Deku...for years, I ignored you for years! Even in UA when we were practically sitting right next to each other the entire school year. I...I never even considered apologizing to you after all these years...throughout elementary and middle school...I bullied you. I told you to take a swan dive off the roof yet you....what if you really did it, huh?! It's going to be my fault...So Deku...I-I'm sorry...I'm really...really...sorry.." He was crying now, sobs wracked his body as all the guilt and pressure he had felt after all those years were slowly going down. "I-i know I don't deserve your forgiveness and I-" he was cut off when Izuku launched into him and gave him a hug. Katsuki hesitated, but hugged back anyway. "Kacchan...I forgave you a long time ago. I knew you didn't mean to say those. We were young and stupid, please...Stop blaming yourself for every cause.." He says to the crying blonde's ear.

To Katsuki's disappointment, they pulled apart. Deku took a step back, looking right at the moon. The moonlight created an artificial halo around his head. He looked like a real Angel.

Is it really worth it to tell him? Jeez...this is a dying man's last wish after all...but he's going to hate me...be disgusted...I'm a fuck up aren't I? Pathetic.

"De-Izuku.." Deku's emerald eyes widened in shock, he never heard the blonde say his name in like decades!

Here goes nothing..

"Izuku I..."

There's no going back..

"I..."

Even if it means that he'll hate me...

"I..damn it.."

He deserves to know the truth. I'll die soon anyway...

"I love you...Izuku. Always have..." He quietly said, looking down his eyes were glued to the trees underneath the balcony they were standing in. "Kacchan- mff!" Izuku was cut off as Katsuki closed the huge space between them. Izuku's lips were soft though...at least he got to feel it one last time. Before he knew it, he was shoved and got slapped across the face. "I'm sorry...Bakugou, but I can't return your feelings."

There it is....He called me Bakugou now...He hates me..

"I never expected you to. Just wanted to tell you."

"Yeah. You can't just take whatever you wished to have, Bakugou. This isn't a ranking."

Bakugou's hands gripped the railing tightly that his knuckles turned white. The cold, harsh reality hitting him along with Izuku's cold tone.

"You know...there are times that I would snap but I never really showed it to anyone. Even sometimes..I hoped...no...wished..I never met you." With that Izuku turned around and opened then slammed the door shut.

Then it hits him full force. His coughing began once more, he felt the familiar burn he feels in his throat and lungs becoming 10 time worse than it usually is. His other hand gripped the railing while the other held his chest into a tight hold. He wheezed for air when his lungs were squeezed too tight that he can barely breathe in air. He'd been like this for a few minutes then once again, his coughing slowly ceased but never disappeared. His breathing was short but he forced himself to stand up and go back inside.

~°~

 

The announcements were made and the PD and other high security systems thanked them, the Wonder Duo for their hard works in serving the country. Soon, Yaoyorozu came upstage and announced that they were given a ticket to a beach trip for a week, however, Katsuki declined, saying that they should just give it to Half n Half or something. So they did. Not so long later it was time for the dance. Fuckkkkk. He stayed still in his place as for everyone, they stood up and headed towards the dance floor. Everyone paired up and then....the music started.

Walking down 29th and park
I saw you in another's arm
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier

His eyes landed on Izuku and Todoroki slow dancing at the center of the dance floor. The greenette's face was filled with nothing but happiness. No trace of the cold Izuku he encountered earlier.

Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh

Todoroki leaned in to whisper something in his lover's ear and on time, the male in his arms giggled. And soon after, they both started laughing.

I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do.

The blonde sighed and continued watching the two...thinking...what if it was him who made him laugh, not Todoroki?

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you.
Ain't nobody love you like I do.

He knew he messed up big time. He tookkkj advantage of Izuku while he let his guard down. He deserves to be hated. He loves Deku but...He just...couldn't change. Deku deserves better anyway. He deserves Todoroki.

Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day, I'll feel it too

He remembers Kirishima saying that he would find someone else that would cherish him for the rest of his life..but how?

But until then I'll smile and hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

He stood up, sighing no so deeply and walked towards the bar and ordered a drink. This might be his final night at least let him enjoy it like Yaoyorozu said. He's been hiding for too long, now it's too late to even save him.

Sat in the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?

Well at least he's happy with Todoroki. Katsuki watched as the nerd smiled but the thing is...It wasn't him who made the nerd happy. Happier than Izuku did for the past eighteen years of their lives around each other. He was already happy with Todoroki and chooses not to interfere with their relationship, as long as Izuku is a happy little shit he'll go along with it. Even if it means that he'll not be around him.

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you

I'll always love him...I'll never quit on loving that adorable piece of broccoli. He pats his pocket for the little gift he had in mind in case something happens to him. He hears a crinkle of paper and he let's out a relieved smirk but it soon faded when vines wrapped around the majority of his lungs, it's thorns piercing the poor organ. He slowly stood up and forced himself to walk towards the exit.

Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you
(I skipped it on purpose tho.)

As if on cue, Katsuki slammed the door shut and went for his car. He staggered along the way as his vision blurred, breathing becomes more harder and harder to do. And then....

He collapsed

He never reached his car. He's there, laying on the ground almost lifeless. He feels something that taste metallic coming out of his mouth, he coughed weakly and a bunch of petals flew off his mouth, leaving it to scatter in front of him. This is how he dies. But he hasn't given the gift yet! No no no, he has to stay awake! His vision is slowly dotted with black spots and it's slowly turning darker and darker each time.

Dareka
Someone

Tasukete
Help

The song ended so the squad went to their table only to find out that Katsuki wasn't there anymore. Eijiro noticed the way his blonde buddy looked at Shouto and Izuku and his face is so.........blank. This started to worry Kirishima of course, until the love of his life grabbed his face down for a deep and loving kiss which distracted him. When the song ended, right on the last lyric he and his boyfriend heard a loud bang coming from across the venue, they barely heard it because of the crowd but they did. After Mina said that Bakugou wasn't at the table they were in just before the dance started, he panicked a little. Not only him but also his friends, they looked for the explosive blonde at the bar but still found nothing.

They practically swept the entire area without anyone else noticing, the balcony, the bathroom, even the food area. They found no sign of the blonde, but there is one place they haven't checked yet....outside the venue. When Ashido told them this, they all rushed outside, still no sign of Katsuki....at least....not until they went to the parking lot and saw the last thing they wished to see...

Their friend laying on the ground covered in his own blood and those god forsaken beautiful...yet means death petals.

"KATSUKI!" Kirishima shouts as he ran and hovered over his best friend's body. He grabbed the blonde's upper body and cradled it. Brought his ears towards his mouth but Katsuki wasn't breathing. He then frantically searched for his pulse, he let out a deep sigh when he felt a weak beating.

It's weak...but he's alive...we...WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL!

"CALL YOUZUKE! PLEASE LET HIM COME HERE FASTER! BAKUGOU ISN'T BREATHING AND THE BLOOD WON'T STOP!" He faced his friends then turned back to the blonde's pale face when he heard Mina's shoes clacking and Sero's shoes patting as they ran back inside.

The couple's frantic eyes searched for a spiky brown hair in the crowd. They were careful not to attract too much attention and it came to the point that the female took her heels off as she sped towards the food section where she saw a very much familiar smug four eyed freak. "YOUZUKE!" She called out and thankfully....THANK-FUCKING-FULLY, he heard it and turned around to see the pink skinned heroine. "WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW PLEASE!" Ashido quickly says, seeing the look on Youzuke's face, he's quite pissed yet confused. "Well someone better be dying." He smirked at his own joke but it was soon taken down when the pinkette let out a sob. "Hey! I-i was just-" "IT'S KATSUKI!" "W-what? What happened to my cousin?!" "JUST COME WITH US!"

With that, Ashido grabbed his wrist and started running to the exit, not knowing at a certain dual colored hair male was observing them from afar. Something's wrong.

Sero..Ashido...Youzuke....BAKUGOU!!

"Shouto? What's wrong?" Izuku asks, he almost forgot that the green haired male was beside him. "N-nothing...I gotta go out for a bit okay? Stay here." He kissed Izuku's forehead who blushed almost instantly before sprinting at the entrance/exit. He caught on with the trio to the parking lot and saw a certain red hair and loose blonde hair. But what caught his attention the most...was the spiky blood spilled blonde hair splayed on the stretcher. "Bakugou!" He exclaims and ran towards the group. Red and Blue lights slightly blinding him.

"Todoroki! What are you doi-"

"I know Bakugou has the disease. Now tell me why is he-"

He stopped. Silencing himself as soon as he saw the red puddle of blood with red petals floating on top of it. "He has to take the surgery, Youzuke-" "he already said no." The brunette cuts the redhead off, already knowing his cousin's response to it if he was still conscious. He climbed up the ambulance and sat beside Eijiro.

"But-"

"No! His words are final. You expect me to betr-"

"It's not betrayal."

Todoroki's cold monotone voice sliced through their entire conversation.

"What?"

"I said it's not betrayal. You went against his word for his safety. That's called helping."

"....you're liking this aren't you?"

"I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Youzuke. Whatever it is, I'm no-"

"YOU JUST WANT IZUKU TO YOURSELF! YOU WANT HIS MEMORIES WITH IZUKU-KUN ERASED SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE HIM FOR YOUR OWN!? YOU'RE SO PATHETIC-"

"I...do not. In fact, I'm willing to give him up..." He clenched his teeth while trying to get the next few words out. "For Bakugou's safety."

"Don't say that, man."

"Kirishima.."

"He did say that It'll be better if he stay away and not blow up your relationship with Midoriya. Right? He chose to stay behind and watched you two as long as he's happy with you man. Don't let his sacrifice go to waste. I..heard You guys talking the bathroom yesterday.."

~°~

 

"CONTINUE YOUR DRAMA IN THE HOSPITAL YOU ASSHOLES! HE'S DYING HERE!!" The ambulance nurse shouted.

~°~

 

"Wakata. I'll open a schedule for the surgery in an hour." The doctor calmly says and Youzuke nodded as he watched the doctor walked away. The brunette watched as his cousin was hooked up in different machines, his life is barely hanging now. He smiled to himself, proud of his cousin to have such good friends and colleagues. Without them....his cousin would have died directly...He needs to thank them after the surgery went well....He hoped.

~°~

 

Todoroki sat at the waiting room staring into nothingness. He can't believe that just yesterday, the blonde was doing well....well not really "Well" well but well enough to start a riot and right now....He's hooked up in different machines that is holding his life together. The heterochromatic hero was never the type to worry about something but considering Bakugou's condition, he can't help but feel sorry for him. According to his knowledge about hanahaki, 1% of the population consisted of people who has seed planted inside their lungs. Shouto hadn't known that the ill tempered blonde belonged to the 1% of humanity that has the possibility of having the rare disease. Last case was 20 years ago!

His train of thoughts was interrupted when he heard a familiar voice call out to him. "Hey man..." Kirishima greeted. "Kirishima. How is he?" Shouto asked, kinda desperate to know his boyfriend's colleague's condition despite just witnessing the upturn of events. "He's awake..for now." "I'll go s-" "and he doesn't want you to go in there." The redhead cuts him off before he could finish the sentence. "....I understand." He admits in defeat. "But...He wanted to give you this. It looks like it's addressed for you and Midoriya."

Todoroki watched as he dug in his pockets to reveal two letters. "Before he leaves and forgets everything about Midoriya. He wanted to give you this." Todoroki nodded and accepted the letters. "I suppose I'm no longer in use right now. I'm gonna go back to the venue, Izuku's probably looking for me." Kirishima smiled sadly and nodded towards the dual user as he walked away.















"Sir?"

"Mister Bakugou I need you to count from ten to one okay?"

Katsuki stiffly nodded.

Day 19 Friday-. . . .
August 29, XXXX
2:30 PM
@The airport

"Hey Bakubro! Want to see Midoriya before you go?" Kirishima asked. Karminari winced, Kirishima's eyes were wide as saucers qhen he realized. They were helping the blonde with his bags. Katsuki looked at him, completely confused and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Who the fuck is Midoriya?"
