MEGA SPOILERS FOR THE WAR ARC.

Izuku lay on his side on the kind-sized bed in your shared apartment, his scarred hands running over your body subconsciously, almost out of habit. Emerald eyes flutter open, watching your smaller frame curled against his own. The gentle brush of his callused fingers leaving behind a light, feathery tingle. His gaze shift to your closed eyes, the faint rise and fall of your chest against his abdomen bringing him a sense of peace. You looked peaceful, lips slightly parted, allowing him to feel more of your warm, soft breathing against his bare, toned, scarred chest. His eyes shift to the scars on his body.

He could remember the first battle, when he chose to become a Vigilante after. Then the final battle, where he destroyed Shigaraki. He can’t believe that was thirteen years ago, when he was only in his first year at UA… Now… he’s the Number One Pro Hero, his dream since he was a little toddler.

And he still can’t believe he has you…

He rest his head on top of yours, pulling the soft silk sheets over his and your own body, pulling you closer. Resting a hand on your lower back, the other on the back of your head. The one on your head pushed it deeper into him, like he was trying to protect you from the whole world.

His gaze shifted to look off to the side in deep thought, eyes… distant. A look he had when his thoughts weren’t good ones.
