Work Text:
Today was not the best day for Midoriya, at all. It wasn't his fault that his alarm batteries died out without him knowing. It wasn't his fault that he forgot to wear his rain gear in the rush to get out of the house. It wasn't his fault he missed the bus and had to run all the way to the agency with his quirk to make it on time. It was not his fault that one of the rookie pros wasn't paying attention to their captured villain and let them get away, resulting in Izuku getting yelled at by Kacchan.
Since they had started their patrol Izuku was feeling worse and worse by the minute, he had been fine when he entered the agency. Wet sure, but overall fine and well to start working for the day. However, after maybe about an hour or so of jumping from rooftop to rooftop and walking alongside sidewalks keeping an eye out on the public, Izuku could feel his head starting to pound.
It was a good thing that the rain had stopped once he got to work but there was still a chill in the air that wouldn't go away till the night and it was not doing anything good for Izuku's still wet hair since he wasn't able to dry it properly. His body had been slowly dropping in temperature which made him shiver anytime a slight cool breeze passed by making him try and hide it from others when he was around them.
He had to lean against walls whenever Katsuki or he were stopped by fans to sign something or take photos since he would feel faint after walking or running for some time. Ignoring the plain as day signs that he was sick Izuku oh so stubbornly continue the day as if everything was normal.
However, Kacchans yelling banter was tearing his mind to pieces and made him snap in a feverish daze. "It's not my fucking fault Katsuki! Instead of yelling at me why don't you give a tip or two to the newbie since this is something you just can't seem to fucking stand right now! While you're at it maybe you can go and chase after the villain yourself so you don't have to feel like you failed at doing something!"
Now Izuku was never one to yell at anyone no matter how upset he was and yelling at his childhood friend/rival wasn't really something on his to-do list for the day. But all of the days' negative energy had been piling on his shoulders and he needed a vent, an outlet if you will, which unfortunately was put on the blond's head.
Said blond looked at his rival in shock while the rookie hero was trying to find some way to diffuse the situation hearing about how Katsuki had an explosive nature. However, Katsuki's face turned into his usual scowl when he noticed Izuku's eyes lose focus for just a second along with his body swaying slightly as he glared at him. Without another word, Katsuki pushed Izuku's hair back and placed his forehead on his surprising the other.
"Ka-" "Your fucking sick Deku, why the fuck did you come to work if your fucking sick?" Katsuki interrupted him pulling back giving him his usual glare. Izuku looked at him before looking away mumbling how he wasn't sick and that he was fine. That made the blond scoff and grip his arm dragging him back to the agency with the rookie behind him wondering what the heck was happening.
"You are going back to the agency and you are gonna file for a week off of work to rest because there is no way in hell I'm gonna work with your useless ass because you decided to get sick. There is no way I am about to get sick anytime soon nerd" With the tone that was used Izuku knew that there was no way he could get out of this so he kept his mouth shut.
It seemed to finally sink in how bad he really felt and how bad it would be to have a sick hero on the field if something big were to happen during the day.
After getting back and filing his report for the day, which wasn't a lot since he wasn't on duty for long, he then sent in a request for a week off. After getting it approved he got ready to leave when Katsuki went to him and shoved something into Izuku's hands. "You better give this back to me when you get back stupid, also I called shitty hair and told him that you're gonna be home for a while. The shit head was worried as hell so you better calm him down when he gets back later"
Izuku looked down at his hands and saw an umbrella then laughed slightly hearing about his husband's worry about him and nodded, "Ok thanks Kacchan, and sorry about snapping at you back there. Didn't mean to." He apologized scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Katsuki rolled his eyes, "It's whatever nerd just get out of here already I don't want to catch your nerd germs." The blond gave him a light-hearted push towards the door. "Ok ok, I'm going say hey to Kaminari for me. Later Kacchan" With that he left the building and head back home using the umbrella that Katuski gave him since it had started to pour again.
....
That was how Izuku found himself snuggled up in a pile of blankets on the couch watching reruns of his favorite All Might movies and interviews while petting his pet cat named Munchkin. "I know girl he could have easily caught him but he is slippery... literally." Izuku chuckled at his own bad joke while Munchkin just purred at the attention she was getting from her owner.
The somewhat peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the front door slamming open making Munchkin jumped off the couch and climb up her scratch post and hide in one of her sleeping spots. Izuku looked up from behind the couch to see his beloved husband panting as he took off his shoes and searched the house for something.
Once red eyes met green he practically ran over and gently took Izuku's face in his rough warm hands checking him over. "Baby are you ok? Do you need anything? Are you hurt? Wow, you're really warm! Do you need more blankets? Did you see the doctor? Do we NEED to see one? We should go to the clinic. What do you need?"
Izuku couldn't help but smile happily seeing and hearing his husband worry about him, it just reminded him why he loved this man so much. He reached his arms up and put his own hands on the other's cheeks making him stop talking because of the sudden movement and heat Izuku held in his hands despite him feeling so cold.
"Kiri I'm fine you don't have to worry too much. It's just a simple fever nothing I can't handle, calm down love" Izuku said softly smiling up at Kirishima watching as the other took in his words and visibly calmed down. Izuku knew that Kacchan would have told him that Izuku wasn't in any danger, but during and after high school everyone in the class has become prone to being overly worried for the simple things, and Kiri was no exception to that.
'What a great high school experience' Izuku was ripped out of his sarcastic thoughts hearing Kiri sigh deeply in relief. "I'm glad your okay, maybe I should have heard Bakugou out before ultimately hanging up in a panic" Kiri chuckled sheepishly making Izuku smile fondly at him.
"It's ok love you were just worried as all you know I would do the same, as would everyone else." He spoke to him calmly before letting go of his face and taking his husband's hand's from his own face to kiss then gently. "Did you come back home in a rush?"
Kiri nodded his head watching Izuku pepper his hands in small kisses. "Then you just clocked out. Go shower and change your clothes then you can tend to me." Izuku let go of him and gently pushed him by the stomach to make him get started. Kiri nodded and sporting one last glance at him quickly left the room to get himself comfortable.
Izuku giggled and went back to being snuggled on the couch. Unfortunately, Munchkin had gotten comfy in her scratch post and was napping so he had the couch to himself.
....
After a few minutes, Izuku could hear the soft sound of padded feet coming down the hall into the living room and before he could turn around he felt arms wrap around his shoulders from behind him. He hummed feeling the extra warmth engulf him and leaned into it trying to get all of it. "I didn't ask because I was worried, but how are you feeling baby?" Kirishima asked nuzzling the side of Izuku's cheek. Izuku hummed a bit at the affection then answered, "Pretty tired both physically and mentally but mostly physical." He answered honestly looking at Kiri who walked around the couch to take a seat next to the other.
"I understand, that must suck. I heard Bakugou made you file for a week off because he didn't want to get sick" Iuku let out a soft laugh remembering that Kacchan was on his back, not literally, while making sure that he wrote down 1 week directly on the paper with a black pen to make sure he would erase it later when Bakugou wasn't looking. "He was pretty adamant about not wanting to take time off work when I really think he should but not when he's sick and can't do anything, he'd kill me" The two laughed at the thought before settling down.
Izuku moved his body so his head was in Kirisimas lap and his legs were propped over the armrest of the couch. Kiri took it upon himself to start running his hands through Izuku's hair making the sick male sigh contently at the small gesture. The two spoke for a bit more mostly about whatever it was that was showing on the TV which was still the movies that Izuku was watching before his husband had come back. After a bit, Kiri bent over to try and get a kiss from his lover but blinked feeling a hand instead of the lips he wanted.
Izuku gave Kiri an apologetic smile, "Sorry love but I don't wanna get you sick with my fever. No kisses until I'm better" He spoke gently pushing Kiri's head up watching as the other face turned into a pout that made Izuku's heart jump at the sheer cuteness he was seeing. How the older male could look so cute even when he was built like a tank and had no baby fat anywhere on his body was beyond Izuku but he was not complaining at all.
"But Izuu I haven't gotten a kiss all day since I left earlier than you not to mention the other day I came back the late cause of the accident that happened downtown. Just one kiss pleaseeee" Izuku didn't want to say no, really he didn't, but he couldn't risk Kiri getting sick these days. With more casualties involving car wreaks caused by villains or building collapses Kiri needed out in front and as a first responder since he was least likely to get hurt by moving wreckage and looking for civilians because of his quirk. Almost sway by his husband's cuteness Izuku crossed his arms and turned his head to the side, "Nope. No kisses till I say it's safe"
Izuku spoke in a tone that was playful but also firm in that was going to be the rule till he was better. After a minute nothing was said and Izuku was worried that he had made Kiri mad or upset but before he could turn his head to look at the other his cheek was attacked by something warm and solid. He blinked a few times before turning his eyes to see Kiri's face against his. But the funny thing was his cheeks were puffed out with air and his lips were touching Izukus cheek but to another person, it would look like Kiri just smooshed his face against Izu.
After a second Izuku giggled and uncrossed his arms pushing his husband by the shoulders, "Kiri what are you doing haha" The redhead looked at Izuku and smiled, "That's how I'm gonna kiss you from now on till I can get my real kiss. I hope your ready because I'm gonna do that a lot." Izuku rolled his eyes playfully and could have sworn he saw a tail wagging happily behind Kiri.
And so that's how the week went, anytime izuku wasn't paying attention Kiri would pop out of nowhere and just attack Izuku's cheek with his own. It would happen at the most random times that the sick pro couldn't help but giggle or laugh every time it happened. Kiri went as far as to doing it when Izuku was on a video call with Ochako after she realized that she hadn't see Izuku out on the field in a while. It made her laugh so hard that when Iida came over to see what the fuss was about Kir did it again but to the other cheek causing Iida to go on a tangent about hygiene and health making everyone in the call have a good laugh.
....
It was the end of the week and Izuku woke up feeling much better than at the beginning of the week. He goes up from bed noticing that Kiri wasn't there but he knew he hadn't left because there was a smell of breakfast in the air and Kiri's phone was still charging on the nightstand. Walking out of the room Izuku went to the bathroom quietly to freshen up deciding he would shower a bit later since he wasn't really expected to show up to work so early as a precaution if he was still sick. After washing his face and brushing his teeth he walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the living room where he could see Kiri in the kitchen standing over the stove.
He made his way over quietly and once he was close enough he wrapped his arms around his husband's waist making Kiri jump a little not noticing the other had woken, up. With a soft tired smile he looked behind him, "You're up, I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed." Izuku looked at his partner and smiled softly thinking how he got so lucky to have an amazing lover in his life. "Thank you for the thought love but I wanna have breakfast with you." Kiri smiled brightly and went back to looked over the food on the stove before turning it off.
Taking this chance Izuku waited for Kiri to put down the spatula that was in his hand and pulled Kiri gently to turn him around before wrapping his arm around his neck and getting on his tiptoes to give him a kiss. His husband's eyes widen a bit at the sudden affection but quickly closed and kissed back making sure to hold Izukus hips gently but firmly as if he was a runaway. Izuku couldn't help but giggle into the kiss as it dragged out.
After some time they separated and leaned their foreheads together looking at each other with such love in their eyes. "That was so worth the fucking wait" Kiri said happily before pulling Izuku back into another kiss.
