~~~Kacchan's POV~~~

After we left Aato's office, it took a little longer seeing as he needed to write the prescription. We left for the pharmacy. Auntie left us in the car while she went to get it.

"Hey, are you alright love?"

"Y-yeah, why?"

"You've been quiet since before we left Aato's, what's going on in that brain of yours?"

"Nothing." He said it sincerely, I don't think he's trying to shut me out.

"In a way that your mind is empty?" He nods.

"Alright Zuku, come here." I gesture for him to come closer and he does, I wrap my arm around him as he laid his head on my chest, one of his arms goes behind my back so he can cuddle me.

"I'm sorry Kacchan."

"Hey hey hey, none of that love. Just relax. Today took a toll I know it did."

"But Kac-"

"Izuku, I understand your reason. But that doesn't mean I can let you take my world away. I understand what happened was horrible, but I will help you survive EVERYTHING you went through before I EVER let you leave. You have a big future, as a hero, with me. But our future won't exist without YOU. I understand there are bad days, and I understand that everything seems like it's falling down on you. I get that, but don't stop fighting. Don't let the negatives take control. Don't let the bastard win, the arguments, your depression. You are so much more than those things, but you need to see that for yourself. Now relax and lay down. Your day's been hard enough. I love you." He didn't respond, well; in a way he did, he did as I asked, he laid down and let himself relax for the first time all day. I felt all the tension from his body release as he took in my scent, breathing evenly and his body fell limp.

"Hey boys- oh, sorry. I got the SSRI's, do you want me to stop by your house so you can pack or?"

"Let's just go to your house, I can walk home to get my stuff after, I just want Izu to go to bed."

"Alright, dear. I'll have to leave when you boys leave, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize auntie, we understand, I'll wake him up before we get there so you can say goodbye."

"Katsuki, you're amazing. Take some time to yourself every once in a while, you're still just a child. I understand you love him but you can't forget he loves you too so he needs you just as much as you need him."

"Auntie, I'm fine. Really it should be you taking the time. You've worried about him since he was four, then found out about... well that. I can see the time waging on you."

"Hunny, no I'm fine promise." We sat in silence until we hit the house, I gently shook Izu awake.

"Hm?"

"Hey sweetie, Katsuki's going to take you inside, then head home to pack. He wanted me to be able to say goodbye."

"Oh, okay mama, I hope you have a good trip. I love you."

"I love you too baby, go inside and get some rest." They exchange a hug, and Zu goes into the house.

"Hey, Katsuki. Can you wait a moment?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"On this paper, it says how many are needed to overdose. Luckily, with it being a small prescription, in a few days he won't be able to."

"Alright, thank you auntie."

"No thank you, have a good week. I'll see you boys when I get back. Stay safe."

"You too." So I get out of the car and watch her pull out, then I head into the house myself.

"Kacchan?"

"Yeah love?"

"C-can I go with you?"

"Of course baby. I just thought you might wanna go to sleep when you go in."

"I wanna be with you."

"Aww love, I'm coming back don't worry."

"I-I still wanna go, please?"

"I said you can, don't worry dork."

"Do you wanna go now?"

"We should, it's getting late." We walk out of the house, holding hands. He seems more clingy, not that I mind. It's just odd.

"Hey, Zu?"

"Yeah?"

"Did your thoughts make you think I'll resent you for today?"

"N-no, why would you think that?"

"Izuku, I'm not mad, hell I'm not disappointed. I know how hard the thoughts hit, I know how hard you're trying to prepare but I don't want you to force yourself to be with me this week. I don't want you to think if you don't I'll hate you or leave you. Because I won't."
"Can we drop it?"

"Babe," I stop us, "look at me." He softly shakes his head so I lay my fingers under his chin and pick his head up.

"Kac-"

"Izuku, why do you think I'd leave you if you didn't let me stay the weekend?"

"Y-you'd think that I'd try to do it. You'd think I don't love you. You'd think I don't want to get better." His eyes kept shifting, and the words came out slow, almost scared to admit them.

"Hey, none of that please, I know things are hard right now, and I know that you're fighting a lot. I also know that you do love me, and that you want to get better. No matter how much you say you don't when it's brought up I know. Just relax please love." He silently nods.

"Come on, when we get back we can cuddle." He perks up slightly, I connect our hands again and walk. It takes about five minutes to get there.

"Hey brat, hi Izu."

"I'm staying the week at Zu's place if it's okay hag."

"Whatever, Inko already told me, be safe and have fun." I walk past her, heading upstairs to my room to pack. Deku followed me.

"Kacchan I don't want to take you from your family."

"Nerd it's fine, they don't care because they know I'm happy and safe." It takes about five minutes to pack and ten to get back to Izu's house.

"Alright, what do you want to eat? You aren't going back to bed until you eat something."

"It's up to you Kacchan."

"Okay, why don't you go relax on the couch?"

"I wanna watch you."

"Whatever dork." I started cooking, I just wanted to make something quick so I just made stir fry. Getting the rice set and the meat cooking, it took about fifteen minutes to finish.

"Thank you Kacchan. Wanna watch a movie after?"

"Sure Deku, do you wanna watch it down here or in your room?"

"In my room if you don't mind, I'm still tired."

"Alright, let's finish up eating then." It takes ten minutes for us to finish, I go upstairs and put my stuff in the room, greeting Ebony, and turning on the t.v while Izu brushes his teeth. When he returns I go and take his place in the bathroom. Brushing my teeth and changing, I go back into the room and put my clothes in my bag, giving Zu a kiss on the forehead and going back downstairs filling up two glasses of water. I know he hasn't drank anything all day. I go back upstairs and set the waters on his table, I then climb into bed with him and pull him to me. Inhaling his soft vanilla scent and letting it relax me.

"Did you pick a movie love," I ask into his neck, causing him to giggle. I lay soft kisses on his neck.

"I-I was thinking maybe, The Fault in Our Stars?"

"Alright, I'm fine with that." I move away from his neck slightly to grab the remote, him unconsciously leaning back to get the warmth to return, I let out a chuckle.

"Here," I lift him up and set him in my lap, putting my nose right back into his neck and wrapping my arms around his waist, "is this better?" I can feel the blush rising to his face as he realizes why I did this.

"O-oh I-I'm sorry I didn't realize what I was doing."

"You're fine love, just relax." I feel his body lose the tension it held, he sinks further back on my chest and I feel him hum in content as I lay more kisses on his neck, getting more open-mouthed.

"Don't you dare-"

"What? Leave a mark? But your mom's not home, no one will see it." I continued what I was doing, no longer getting refused. I pull away and look at the red mark on his neck, lightly kissing it and looking up to see the movie, kissing the side of his head.

"Babe, why don't you take a drink of water, you haven't drank anything all day, not even at dinner. He complies, picking up one of the glasses and begins to drink, but he's taking it down too fast causing me to pull the glass away.

"Love, you can't drink it that fast, you'll get a stomachache."

"S-sorry Kacchan."

"It's alright Izu, just take your time." I hand him the glass back.

"S-shouldn't I take the SSRI's with it?"

"Aato said that it's best to take in the morning, I'll make sure to remind you."

"O-okay thanks Kacchan." He brings the water back to his lips, taking smaller drinks than before, setting the half-empty glass next to mine, bringing his attention back to the t.v.

"O-oh, Kacchan?"

"Yeah?"

"C-can you hand me the red journal over there? And the pen please?"

"Of course, here." I hand him the requested items.

"Thank you, baby." I feel my heart flutter at the pet name, he rarely uses them.

"Whatcha doin?"

"I-I'm just recording today."

"C- nevermind," I cut myself off, I've invaded his privacy too much.

"What were you going to ask Kacchan?"

"It's nothing love."

"Come on, please?"

"I was going to ask if I could read it, but I've invaded your privacy way too much."

"Of course you can, I won't hide anything from you." I don't respond, I just watch as his hand starts to scribble out the words, some being more slanted than others but adorable no less. I end up turning my main attention to the t.v. I don't really care for this movie but I don't mind it.

"Hey, I'm going to shift to grab my drink, okay?"

"That's fine Kacchan." So I lean slightly reaching for the full glass of water, taking slow gulps of it. Leaning back over to set it down again, I see he's stopped writing.

"H-here." He pushes the journal into my hands, giving me permission to read what he's written.

"Deku, no. I can't invade all of your privacy."

"Kacchan, it's fine. This isn't all of my privacy." I give him a look, trying to make sure he really is okay with me looking at this, he just gives a slight nod and turns his attention back to the t.v. I open the book and go to the first page. Dated June 20th. It was about last weekend, with Raccoon face and Pikachu. The next one, was from Tuesday, explaining how he found out his mom was leaving, his plans for this week. Going into detail how he knows this is wrong, and how he hates how he has to do this, but how he has to. Which brought me to my next thought.

"Hey Izu?"

"Hm?"

"Why don't we host a small get together. We can invite Raccoon eyes, Zombie, and Pikachu. If you want we can text auntie to get her permission."

"W-when?"

"Whenever is best for everyone."

"I-I'll text mom." He grabs his phone, sending a message out. I look around the room and spot Ebony hopping over to the bed, waiting to hop up. She does and ends up in our laps, nuzzling into Izu. A few minutes later his phone went off, meaning we caught his mom before she boarded.

"She said yeah, just make sure everyone's parents are okay with it, and to make sure the house isn't destroyed."

"Alright, do you wanna text everyone now or wait for tomorrow?"

"I'll do it now." He brings up his messages, creating a group. Typing a message and sending it, a few seconds after it sent he got someone typing.

"Shinsou needs to ask when his dads get home, they have the night patrol."

"Alright, do they know your mom isn't home?"

"Yeah." Another text was sent.

"Denki said he can, but his parents want my mom's number and mine. I told him to just give it to them, and Mina can go, but her parents want to meet us and have mom's number. She's off this weekend. She also asked to bring two friends, Kirishima and Jirou, she didn't want to be the only girl, and she's mentioned Kirishima before. I brought it up to mom and she's fine with it."

"Alright, have Raccoon Eyes add them." He sent another message, gaining more in return.

"Okay, everyone can come, we're still waiting on Shin though. The parents just want moms and my number."

"Alright, how long do you want to see if they'll stay?"

"Mina has until I guess Monday, Kirishima has until Tuesday, Jirou isn't working, Shinsou has until Monday afternoon to help Aato if his dads say yes, Denki's free all week."

"Do you want to see if they'll stay till Monday?"

"Sure, it would give us time to get to know each other and we could use one day to spar." He shoots a text out I'm guessing asking if they're down. I just hope this helps get him out of this headspace that he still needs to leave.

"We can check back in in the morning love, come on just relax and watch the movie."

"Nah," he states as he turns around in my lap, facing me.

"Well hi."

"Hi," he giggles out.

"Whatcha doing babe?"

"I just wanna see you." His smile is bright and full, but his eyes are slightly dull, he can't seem to get that glimmer in his eyes back. It hurts knowing slowly I'm losing him. I caress his cheek.

"You're so beautiful Izu." That caused a blush to travel its way up his neck to his face.

"Shush."

"Make me," I say with a smirk.

"Fine," he states as he leans forward, catching my lips with his, causing me to smile even more and accept the kiss. I lightly glide my tongue against his bottom lip, asking to deepen the kiss and he accepts, opening his mouth. We continue the makeout session for a little longer, never going further than that.

"I love you Izuku."

"I love you too Katsuki." I turn him back around so he's facing the t.v. He's really going to be the death of me. My grip tightens as I think that it's truly possible for me to lose him, I don't want to.

"What's up Kacchan?"

"Nothing Deku." I loosen my grip slightly.

"Hey, talk to me, please?"

"I don't like the thought that there's a chance of you leaving. I don't want to lose you, I can't Izu." He held his breath and it came out really shaky.

"Hey, come on. Breathe Zu."

"Kacchan, I'm sorry. There's no reason for me to be this way, for my attitude half the time I'm s-so sorry you n-need to put u-up with me." He took gasps between some of his words, trying to hide his sadness, but his body gave it away.

"No, don't apologize, you don't need a reason to be that way, you're valid to your emotions. Calm down love, please." He took a few gulps of air in as I grabbed his water, handing it to him when he finished.

"You're okay love, everything's okay." I kiss the top of his head, holding him tighter. Everything's going to be okay.
