His Dearest Soulmate

Three months later,
At the hospital,
Hari's ward room...

Midoriya's POV

I cut the apple into bunny shapes and placed it on a shiny white plate. My emerald eyes darted to Hari who was still unconscious. Sadness evident on my freckled face. I held Hari's cold hand with mine, kissing the back of his hand lightly. The beeping sound of the heart monitor made me anxious at every bip sound it made.

Hari was in coma. At least that was what I heard. He would wake up probably soon. The injuries he suffered from was quite severe. Kai gave him a great beating...

But... Why did he only beat him up? Knowing Kai for years, he would blow Hari to bits if he was unsatisfied with something...

... Kai must know my deep love for Hari...

Maybe... Just maybe... He still wished for me to be happy... Maybe... At least that is what I thought. And I hope so. Despite disliking him now, I still have a shred of familial love toward him...

And I regretted for shooting those bullets at him... Now Kai had lost his Quirk... Forever.

Kai and the rest of Shie Hassaikai were thrown into Tartarus. From what I knew, that place was for dangerous criminals. Only Hari... Was free. Because it was my request.

I begged for the heroes not to throw him into prison since he was the reason I could escape. He helped me fled from Kai.

It was a hard bargain and almost triggered a fight between me and the heroes who joined the raid operation. After the investigation ended, Hari was proved innocent. I was the first person to cheer in happiness when I heard that.

As for Eri, she was taken care by the pro heroes at U.A.. It was for the best. She will be safe there. Though I opposed at first when I heard it. I wanted to be by her side. It was difficult for the both of us since we were so closed. But I knew she would be safe. Because Mirio-san was there.

And lastly... Me.

I had been living with Sir Nighteye- Dad after his confession. The heroes were shocked when they discovered my true identity. I mean, Dad was the one who told them. I was really grateful that he was my actual father, and not Hisashi Midoriya.

Actually, I was recommended by Dad to enter U.A. as special student, but I turned down the offer. Well... Because I had another future plan in my head. Besides... My current condition won't let me work beyond my limits right now. I have to be careful with each step I take.

That is why, I kept praying Hari would wake up soon. If he doesn't, then our future... Will crumble to pieces.

I learned closer to Hari's ear, and gently whispered, "Hari... We are here waiting for you... So please... Open your eyes... You are strong. You have to stay alive."

I kept whispering the same sentence everyday, in hope that he would wake up one day. A sad smile was plastered on my face, as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Three months have passed... But he didn't make even a single movement. I'm scared...

I'm scared that when I wake up one day, only to find you no longer breathing in this world...

Hari...

"Hari..." My palm rested on my swollen belly. Yes, I was carrying his child for the entire three months.

That day... A few days before the end of Shie Hassaikai...

Hari and me made love. But we didn't use protection. Because he insisted not to. I still remembered what he whispered to me that day...

"I want to have family with you."

He was serious with his decision, so we carried on without using protection.

I only realized that I was pregnant a few weeks ago. I didn't have my period for two months straight and my appetite kept changing. I experienced mood swings many times that Dad almost thought I hated him.
So he decided to bring me to hospital for check up. It turned out, I was pregnant for two months. The other heroes found out so quickly and started bombarding me with that cliche question,

"Who is the father of the baby?"

Even Dad asked me.

So I just calmly told them that Hari was the father. No one else had touched me... Except him. I told them that Hari was my lover all this time, that was why I cared so much for him.

The heroes' reaction weren't the pleasant one. But I ignored them. This was my baby that I had with my lover, the man who swore to love me forever. I was beyond happy to know I was pregnant.

Dad... Well, he accepted with open heart. He accepted Hari and the baby. He was young, too young to be a grandfather to be exact, considering that he was only 39 currently. But he didn't mind.

Helping me out was the only way for him to show his love, after 16 years he neglected me. Though I actually never felt angry toward him. It wasn't his fault that he didn't know the truth.

I stared at Hari's pale face in sorrow. I couldn't bear to see him like this anymore. I needed to calm down myself.

I was about to get up from my chair when I felt a small movement in my hand. A gasp of shock left my mouth. I nervously turned to look at Hari back. It was unbelievable. Hari was slowly opening his eyes!

"Hari...!!" I uttered his name. I held his hand tightly to give him strength. "I...zu..." He murmured, calling for me. His voice was faint and weak. I mustered a smile of relief for him.

"I'm here, honey. I'm here.
.. I have always been here for you." I confessed, placing his hand against my cheek. His thumb shakily rubbed my cheek.

"Izu..."

Hari did his hardest to tug a small smile for me. "Don't push yourself... You just woke up. Just rest easy, I will get the doctor." I assured him, placing my hand on his. I tried to remove his hand, but he wouldn't allow me to do it.

Hari weakly sat up himself on the bed and removed the oxygen mask on his face. "Wait- what are you doing?!" I panicked when he did that.

"This mask is a pain. I don't want to wear any mask any more. It gives bad aura you know." Hari whined in dissatisfaction. My eyes twitched in disbelief.

"I-I know that but that is oxygen mask! You need that to keep you alive!" I scolded him furiously while my finger pointing at the mask he took off.

"But I'm breathing right now so I don't need it, right?"

Hari exclaimed bluntly. There was logic in his exclamation to be honest.

"Okay... Jeez." I gave up, puffing my cheeks as a sign of protest.

I glanced at Hari and he was smiling at me. It was a kind smile, not the kind of smile that was full of mischief. All of  a sudden, Hari cupped the back of my head and pushed my face close to him. I felt his pair of warm lips pressed against mine.

My eyes grew wide at the sudden contact. Yet I accepted his invitation. I slowly kissed him back, placing my palms on his chest. This kiss... Was more beautiful that the other we shared before.

After what felt like eternity, Hari broke apart from me. A string of saliva connected out lips. Hari stared into my eyes deeply. "Sorry... For leaving you alone for a while, Izu." He apologized, looking very guilty with his doing. I immediately hugged him, rubbing circles on his broad back.

"Hari, it is okay... It is alright now. As long as you are here by my side, breathing and living... Then that is enough for me." I confessed, tears rolling down my face. My eyes were red and puffy from crying too much before.

"How long... Had passed since I last awake, Izuku?" Hari asked in curiousity. I broke apart from him and observed his handsome face. "Three months." I gave him a short answer.

Hari gasped in disbelief. "Three months? For real—" But he suddenly dropped into heavy silence when his eyes landed on my body. "Hari, what is the matter?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.

"Your belly... Is bigger than  before..." He stated in suspicion, studying my body attentively. I laughed in amusement when he said that. "What is so funny?" He raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"Of course it is bigger. Mini you is growing inside my belly." I bluntly informed, rubbing my swollen belly gently.

Hari gasped again, this time was louder than before. "Izuku, could it be...?"

I gave him a wide happy smile. "We are going to be parents, Hari..." I announced delightly.

I didn't know where he found the strength but he suddenly jumped off his bed and lifted me up, spinning around like a small child.

"Thanks goodness... I-I'm so happy, Izu..." Hari shed tears of joy. I chuckled and nuzzled nose with him. "Me too, Hari... Our dream to have family... Will eventually come true.."

We both gazed into each other's eyes. Just when we were about to connect our lips, the door of the room open, only to reveal Dad and Mirio-san. Both were flabbergasted to catch us in such romantic position.

"I— We— S-sorry for the disturbance!" Mirio-san already ran away while Dad stayed still. "Sorry for the sudden interuption. Hope we don't ruin... Anything important." He coughed.

"No, not at all, Dad!" I giggled gleefully. "Dad?" Hari's eyebrows furrowed again.

I couldn't help but laughed at him. "I will explain later. Now, why don't we get something to eat? You must be hungry, right?" I suggested, booping my nose with him.

"Yeah,you are right. I'm hungry." He grinned widely at me. With that, we left the ward room and headed to the cafeteria.

It wasn't a mistake.

He is my dearest soulmate.

And I'm his dearest soulmate.

Our love for each other... Will never waver. For we have promised an eternal love.
