Chapter Text
Izuku’s eyes started to blur at the corners as they filled with tears, his head was pounding and he felt as though he was being choked. He realised how quickly he was running out of breath but he couldn't stop crying, he had been in this situation before so he knew what to do. Call Katsuki.
Izuku let his phone ring, his vision worsening with every passing second. Eventually Katsuki picked up.
“Hey nerd.” Katsuki said, unaware of Izuku’s state.
“K-kacchan-” Izuku choked out between sobs, making Katsuki change his tone.
“Deku what the hell?! Are you ok? Where are you?!” he sounded more panicked now, knowing Izuku, crying was not going to end well.
He got no response.
“DEKU?!” Katsuki frantically yelled, worry and instinct taking over him. He checked on his phone and saw Izuku was in the dorm rooms at UA.
“DEKU I’M NOT IN THE DORMS I WILL BE THERE SOON!”
Izuku weakly moved his fingers over the phone, grabbing it and pulling it closer, using his voice for comfort. This made Izuku’s sobs come through louder on the phone, causing Katsuki to panic more.
“Im coming Deku- Im on my way” Katsuki’s voice broke, the reality of the situation fully kicking in.
Izuku fell to his knee’s, his consciousness fading in and out as he hyperventilated. His last bit of vision was gone, leaving him blinded on the ground of his room.
Izuku’s breath ran short again, however this time he could not gasp for more air, and he passed out, collapsing completely, the rest of his body falling to the floor.
Katsuki ran to UA, reaching the school in minutes. He sprinted to the dorms and slammed open the entrance door.
“Oh hey Bakugo-” Kirishima said in his usual golden retriever attitude, but got cut off from Katsuki pushing him out of the way.
“Bakugo! As class rep I-” Ida was about to lecture him, but saw the urgency in Katsuki’s eyes.
Katsuki finally reached Izuku’s room and forced open the door, seeing Izuku limp on the floor.
“DEKU!” he yelled, voice sounding panicked.
The other boys of class 1A heard, but thought Izuku was being lectured for some random reason again.
Katsuki rushed to Izuku’s side, helping him into bed and checking to see if he was breathing.
“Thank god.. he is still alive…” Katsuki muttered to himself.
“You better wake up soon you damn nerd” Katsuki said, trying to sound unbothered even though he was deeply affected by the situation.
“Im going to go make you some tea, you better drink it when you wake up.” Katsuki grumbled, leaving the room and shutting the door behind him. He then walked to the kitchen with his head down and started making the tea. A couple of students stared at him but said nothing, he was clearly not in the mood to be explaining himself.
He finished the tea and brought it back to Izuku.
“What are you doing with that Bakugo?” Kirishima asked again, trying not to remember the earlier incident.
“Nothing, don't worry about it.” Katsuki said dismissively.
He did his usual grumpy ass walk back to Izuku’s room trying not to raise suspicion from the others.
He walked into the room, closed the door and placed the tea down on the bed side table.
“Deku you better wake up soon.” Katsuki said, trying to reassure himself.
The silence worried him, he knew deku was passed out, but he didn't like the silence, he was used to Izuku rambling about All Might or some other hero, he would even rather listen to Izuku talking about the current villain's quirks than the sickening silence his ears had to endure.
Eventually he grew lonely, but not in a way hanging out with others could fix, plus he didn't want to be questioned right now. He hated how Izuku was the only one who made him feel like he was with a crowd of people and not on his own. He hated how much he needed Izuku.
Eventually he got fed up of waiting beside him and stood up. Instead of leaving the room, he leaned over Izuku for a second before lying down next to him. Katsuki knew he would never live this down if Izuku were to wake up but he needed the physical reassurance, his own voice wasn't going to make up for the loss of Izuku’s.
Katsuki wrapped his arms around Izuku’s body and squeezed tightly. Izuku remained asleep despite the pressure, not even stirring yet. Katsuki couldn't help it any more and started to cry softly into Izuku, his tears lightly falling onto Deku’s back.
“Wake up soon… please….” Katsuki pleaded, his voice and actions growing more desperate to hear Izuku’s voice.
“Wake up you damn nerd! Just wake up!” His voice cracked loudly, sounding like a sharp squeal soaked in tears.
Kirishima and Denki heard the sound coming from Izuku’s room and grew curious.
They tiptoed towards Izuku’s room and gently opened the door, not making a sound.
They saw Katsuki hugging Izuku with his face in his back and quickly hurried to go get the others. Soon all of class 1A was watching in awe as the meanest of them all was cuddling up to the most emotional and caring out of everyone in their class.
Mina took out her phone and got a few photos before she started recording. They all had a silent agreement not to go anywhere until Katsuki realised he was being watched because they all wanted to see the look of horror on his face.
They were waiting there for about 5 minutes, nothing had happened but they all found it extremely cute, especially Mina and Kirishima. Kirishima had the expression of a proud wingman and Mina was loving the gossip she could get out of this.
Finally Katsuki yawned as he sat up, not realizing they were all there, as he was facing the wall in front of him. Eventually he stood up to face them all, his original intention was to get water, but that idea quickly vanished as he saw the crowd in front of him, all of them blocking the door (on purpose). His face turned a bright shade of red from the embarrassment as he stuttered over his sentences, the words merging in his mind and coming out jumbled.
“W-wh- how- why- you- i- i- no- its not- im- im not- you- i-”
The whole class grinned and laughed at his response, making Katsuki’s face turn an even brighter red. His embarrassment was the most entertaining thing they had seen all week. Katsuki stood there fuming while his classmates laughed loudly at him.
“STOP LAUGHING AT ME!” Katsuki yelled, finally losing his temper.
“Shhh, you don't want to wake your boyfriend~” Mina joked, clearly trying to provoke him, and doing a pretty good job.
“HE ISN'T MY BOYFRIEND! I- ok maybe I don't want to wake him but we are NOT dating.” Katsuki yelled defensively, not liking the thoughts Mina was putting into his head.
“Just get out, you got what you wanted.” He said, defeated and wanting to go back to cuddling Izuku in private.
“Fine, fine, have fun with your boyfriend, make sure you give him good hugsss~” Mina said, not believing that they aren't dating.
Class 1A all left Izuku’s room except for Katsuki, who remained unaware that Mina had filmed his reaction.
Katsuki turned back to Izuku, trying to process what just happened.
“I mean… no one is around… there is nothing stopping me from hugging him more…” With saying that, Katsuki went back to his previous spot and hugged Izuku harder than before. He started to cry again, talking to himself and Izuku.
“I miss you Izuku… wake up.. please wake up”
Izuku had only been passed out for about 30 minutes but it felt like hours to Katsuki. He was stuck in this loop where he would think about wanting Izuku to wake up and every time his thoughts would spiral into him thinking Izuku would never wake up again.
It was around 9:30pm and Katsuki knew he should already be asleep but his worries were keeping him up, tiredness would fill his body but he would push past it out of fear.
At around 10pm, Katsuki fell asleep, his grip on Izuku somehow never loosening despite them both being unconscious.
At 11pm Izuku started to wake up, Katsuki was to far asleep to notice. Izuku’s eyes blinked open as he stared out onto his room, which now had the lights off. His head still hurt from passing out, only he had no memory of what happened. He tried to move around, but realised he was being held tightly to the bed.
Izuku turned around to see that the thing keeping him in bed was Katsuki, he felt his cheeks flush slightly but tried to ignore it. Izuku nuzzled his head into Katsuki’s shoulder and wrapped his arms around Katsuki’s body, almost mimicking what Katsuki did to him.
After a while, Izuku fell back asleep and rested peacefully, unaware of Katsuki's earlier overthinking and panicking.
The two of them slept with no interruptions once they fell asleep.
