you held him in your arms, sobbing as you tried to concentrate on using your quirk to heal him as much as you could.

the wound was fatal, it was pierced right through his stomach. you prayed and hoped that you could keep him alive, that’s only what you wanted right now.

he only stared at you, his expression was softer and calmer than usually.

you were in your thoughts until you heard his voice, “don’t cry…” he whispered, his voice was barely audible.

you glanced at him to see him slightly smiling, “what?” you whispered back, still healing him.

“don’t waste your tears or energy on me.” he stated, still smiling at you. you shook your head, holding back tears.

“you’ve always been protecting me, so let me do this for you.” you argued, your attention going to the wound again.

he kept his mouth shut. — probably because of all of the blood he was losing but he still kept his eyes on you, as if adoring you.

“smile, {{user}}, smile.” he whispered, weakly.
