Katsuki's POV:

I fell asleep sometime while crying. I wake up in Shoto's arms still. He's awake and he's still rocking me. It's dark out now and I wonder how long he's been doing this. Everything just hits me. I broke down in the elevator and like half the class saw. They saw me crying on the floor of the elevator.

I remember and I let out a chocked sob. I feel Shoto jump up. He hadn't realized that I woke up. "Sh sh sh," he whispers to me. I hug him tight and put my face into his chest. We were still in our uniforms and shoes. I continue crying. My sobs are loud and annoying. I can't seem to stop myself though. What will people say when they see me again? Are they already making fun of me? Do they even like me? "Katsuki, you need to calm down. Breathe. Just breathe," he says worriedly. I nod as I try to stop crying. I take a deep breath but it just sounds high pitched and labored.

Shoto gasps and sits me up. "Okay um here, put your head on my chest okay? Listen to my heartbeat," he says as he puts my head sideways on his chest. He takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Okay follow my breathing. Just go in," he breathes in. "Now breathe out," he breathes out. I have a hard time at first, but I slowly get into his rhythm. My breathing is normal now and I'm just letting out silent tears. I hear Shoto sniffle and I look up at him.

His eyes are red and he picks his hands up to cover his face as he cries. He sobs and then after about a second, he stops. He takes a deep breath and looks at me like nothing happened. "I'm sorry. I made you cry," I say. "Katsuki, right now I'm worried about you. Don't think about me right now," he says softly as he pets my hair. "Not everything has to be about me. I carry about you. I'm sorry I haven't been the best boyfriend. You deserve better," I tell him. "Katsuki. You are the best. No one. Absolutely no one can make me feel the way you do. Stop telling me that you're sorry because you don't have to be. There's no reason for you to be sorry. I'm here because I want to be. That's it, I'm not leaving. Even if you don't want me around, I'm going to be here," he tells me.

Tears are streaming down his face and I hug him. "I don't want you to go, so thank you. I just can't stop crying. I hate myself. I hate myself so much and I'm glad you don't hate me. I have no idea what I did to make you fall in love with me, but I'm glad I did it. I don't know why I can't stop fucking crying. I'm getting so mad because I've been crying and crying. That's all I've been doing. I hate seeing you cry. I don't want to see you cry ever again," I tell Shoto. I get up and out of his arms. He looks at me with his tear-filled eyes. "Lets go somewhere and do something. I don't want to stay here crying the whole time. Wait, what time is it?"

He shrugs and grabs his phone. He turns it on and his eyes widen. "It's 3:43 am," he tells me. "You rocked me back and forth without going to sleep for like 6 hours," I tell him completely shocked. He just shrugs. "It didn't feel like that long. I thought it was for about an hour. "Well what can we do? I have to take my mind of the dumb pills because I've been feeling like shit ever since the therapist said I was going to take them," I say. "Let's go make something to eat. Maybe a cake or brownies," he tells me. I nod at his idea and take his hand. As we walk to the elevator, I say, "I don't like the fact that I made you cry. I know you don't want me to say it anymore, but I'm sorry. I didn't want to make you cry. I hate that you feel bad. I don't want that for you."

He sighs as the elevator doors close. "And that's how I feel about you. I hate that you feel sad or bad all the time. I don't want that for you either. Don't worry about me though, I'm okay. I really am, I just hated seeing you like that and it got to me," he says. I nod and say, "Thank you for everything. Now lets go not be sad." He laughs a bit and smiles at me. We walk out and go to the kitchen. The lights are off so I turn them on. Shoto takes out his phone to get the directions to make something homemade. "What are we going to make?" He thinks about it for a second and then excitedly says, "How about a chocolate cake. I really feel like eating chocolate."

I nod at him, showing approval. "Me too, now let's get started," I say. I grab the obvious ingredients like the flour, eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder. He tells me all the other ingredients and he makes sure the oven is empty. As I'm grabbing the last few ingredients, he grabs the utensils that we need. He starts reading out the directions and I nod as I do what he says. He tells me to mix the dry ingredients and that he'd mix the wet ones. I measure the flour and pick it up to see if it's at the right line. I'm about to put it in the bowl when Shoto pushes up the bottom and the flour goes every where, but mostly my face and hair. I gasp and look at him with my mouth open agape.

He laughs hard as he holds his stomach from laughing so hard. I glare at him and then grab some flour and throw it at him. He gasps and grabs some more to throw at my clothes. "Okay, that's how you want to go?" He nods and laughs. "Come at me Katsuki. I dare you," he says. I grab some cocoa powder and throw it at him. He takes the bag of flour and runs around the counter to throw it at me from across. "You're face is covered in flour," he says laughing. He can't stop laughing and that's making me laugh.

I grab the small box of cocoa powder and crounch down to hide behind the counter. I start hearing his footsteps coming from the left so I crawl right. "Aha," I hear. Then he sighs when he notices I wasn't there. I laugh and his footsteps get closer to me fast. I gasp and get up quickly, turning around. He's already standing right there so I tell in surprise and drop the box of cocoa powder, making it go everywhere in the air. Both of our eyes widen and then look around to see the mess we made in the kitchen. As I'm still looking, Shoto throws some more flour at me. "That's not fair! I dropped my weapon," I yell as I run from him.

He just laughs. I go behind the couch and smirk, standing up straight. I confidently say, "You wouldn't get it on the couc-" I'm interrupted by Shoto throwing more flour on my face. "Pfft ah you should s-see your fa-ace," Shoto says in between laughs. As he's laughing, I lean over the couch to grab the bag of flour, but he pulls it away at the last minute. My eyes widen as I fall only to be caught by Shoto. I sigh in relief. "Thanks," I say looking up at him, out of breath. He just looks at me with a smile on his face. "It was nothing," he says softly as he leans in to kiss me. I close my eyes as our lips meet.

He let's out a soft sigh as he smiles into the kiss. We pull away and he helps me stand up. He grabs the bag of flour and turns around to look at me. "Lets finish the cake and while it's in the oven, we'll clean up around here," he says. I nod and walk towards him. We go back to the kitchen and go back to making the cake. I take the flour from him because I never got a chance to put any in, the first time.

We put the cake in the oven after mixing all the ingredients and putting butter on the pan. He goes to grab the cleaning supplies as I pick up the eggs, dishes, and the cocoa powder box on the floor. I put the dishes in the sink and the other stuff in the trash. Shoto comes back with the mop bucket, the mop, rags, and the broom. He starts sweeping the flour and cocoa powder as I wash the dishes. He finishes as I rinse off the soap from the dishes.

~~~~~

As we finish cleaning, the timer on the oven rings. Shoto takes it out and I take out the frosting. We had some frosting in a tub. We take the cake out of the pan and wait for it to cool. We go to the living room and play a movie. The Greatest Showman is playing and I get all into it. I had never really seen it before but I had wanted to for the longest time. Shoto notices and pulls me closer to him. We're still covered in flour and cocoa powder so we're going to have to clean the couch again. I don't really mind and Shoto doesn't seem to mind either.

It's barely the beginning I think because there's some kids which I think are supposed to be the main characters. "Have you seen this movie," I ask Shoto. He nods. "Yeah, have you?" I shake my head no. "No, but I've wanted to ever since it came out. Okay so who are they?" "The boy is P.T Barnum. He's the pain character. For now that's all, I'll let you watch the rest. They showed that the boy was already the main character at the beginning but we started watching a bit too late," he tells me. I nod, still looking at the screen. He laughs as he holds me tighter. I let out a happy sigh as the music starts.

After about 15 minutes, Shoto got up. I look away from the screen for the first time since it started to look at him. "What are you doing?" He turns to look at me and says, "I'm going to ice the cake really quick. Keep watching the movie, I'll bring us a slice right now." I nod and smile at him before going back to watching the movie. Only a few minutes later, Shoto comes with two large pieces of frosted cake. He smiles as he sees me look at him. He hands me one and then puts his down and runs back to the kitchen. He comes back quickly with two cold glasses of milk.

He hands me one and I thank him and when he sits down I give him a quick peck on the lips before grabbing my fork an taking a bite of the cake. My eyes widen. "Wow, this I'd really good," I say with my mouth full. He looks at me like 'for real' and I nod. He just shrugs and takes a bite, taking my word for it. He starts chewing and his eyes nearly pop out of his eye sockets. "Wow you're right it does. We should make cakes more often," he says.

I laugh cause his mouth is full and he starts laughing for some reason. Then I see the chocolate in his teeth as he's laughing and start laughing harder at that. I realize that I probably have chocolate in my teeth so that's why he laughed and we're just a laughing mess.

After a long while, the laughing dies down and we go back to watching the movie while eating our cake and taking a sip of our milk every once in a while. We finish our slices of cake and glasses of milk after a bit. Now we're just cuddled into each other as the movie goes on. I start tearing up at the song that I think is called 'This is Me.' Shoto squeezes my shoulder and I lean into him even more. When the movie finishes I get up and smile at Shoto. I sigh happily and turn my whole body around as I look at him. "I really liked that movie and it might be my bee favorite. But Sing is so good. Ugh, I can't decide," I say. He laughs and grabs our stuff. I take out my hand for him to give me my glass after he throws the paper plates in the trash and he just pulls the glass closer to him.

I glare at him and open my hand wider for him to give it to me. He goes over to the sink and turns on the water while still maintaining eye contact with me. He looks back at the sink quickly to look for the sponge and then turns back to me after putting some dish soap on it to wash the cups. He exaggeratedly washes them and I sigh. "Okay, whatever," I say. He smiles at me and then rinsed them off. "We should go shower. School starts in about 3 hours but we're all covered in flour," he says. I nod in agreement and wait for him to walk to the elevator. "Wait, we have to clean the couch," I say.

He just keeps walking and says, "We'll just clean it up when we get out of the shower. I just want to get clean right now." I shrug and run up to him in the elevator. We go to our rooms to get our stuff and then head to the showers together. I see myself in the mirror and laugh. "Oh my god, I look ridiculous," I say. He laugh and takes out his phone to take a mirror picture. He pulls me close to him by putting his arm around my waist. He leaves it there and takes the picture of both of us. I turn to him. "Yiu have to sent me that," I say. He smiles and says, "Sure thing."

We turn around and go into the stalls. I get into the stall by the wall and he gets the one next to me. I wash my body carefully. The doctors said that I had to be careful with my scars because the scar tissue isn't like skin. I finish and turn off the water. Then j fry myself before stepping out with the towel around my waist. I heard Shoto turn off the water a little bit after me, and he walked out as I was looking at my scars. He put his arm around me and kissed one that was on my back at the top. I apply the scar cream to the ones on the front and I turn around to look at Shoto embarrassed. "Can you um, put some on the ones on my back? Please?" He just takes the cream.

"You should not be ashamed of your scars. Don't be embarrassed to ask me. I'm your boyfriend and I don't care what you look like. You could be the most handsome man in the entire universe or you could be the ugliest anyone has ever see and I wouldn't care because I love you. Luckily, you're the most handsome person ever, but that's not the point," he says as he applies the cream. I nod and say, "Okay. Thank you though." He finishes and the hands me back the cream. I go into the shower stall of put on my clothes for the day. When I'm done I come back out to do my hair. I just dry it and apply some product to not make it look all messed up.

Shoto finishes not long after I do and we go put our stuff away before going back the the 1st floor to clean the couch that we messed up. I'm a bit tired but I think Shoto is even more tired. He held back a yawn as he was getting the rags. I turn to him, "Hey maybe we can ask Mr. Aizawa if you could stay in and sleep. It's better if you slept. I don't like that you didn't sleep at all. Even when I was asleep." He shakes his head. "It's no problem. We'll just sleep right after school, okay? Also I have to make sure you take your pills today. Starting with the first one so lets go make breakfast so you can take it," he says.

We clean up pretty fast and go to the kitchen. He teaches me how to make an omelette. It's pretty easy and it smells great so I can't wait to eat it. He makes two small ones for each of us and then puts the dishes in the sink. He takes out the bottle from his pocket and hands me a pill. I get up to serve us both some orange juice and then take the pill. Taking it makes me anxious because I don't know if the side effects will happen on me. "It's okay Katsuki. Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole day. I'll ask Mr. Aizawa to change our seats so that you're in the back with me. He'd understand the situation," Shoto says.

I let out a heavy sigh and say, "Okay, now let's eat!" He smiles and takes a bite. "Hmm this is pretty damn good," he tells me. I smile at him and then take a bite out of mine. "Wow you're a great teacher then," I tell him. We just finish our food and drinks before washing them and the rest of the other dishes. We put the cake somewhere so it doesn't get stale and go to the couch and relax. There's about an hour until 9 so I pull Shoto into my lap as I play with his hair. "You should sleep. I'll wake you up when we have to get going, okay?" He nods and then lets out a yawn before closing his eyes. In less than a minute, he falls asleep in my lap.
