Chapter 51

"Y/N, please" he sobs heavily.

I gaze weakly up at him, feeling frail.

Was that a dream?

I look around, my sight flowing in and out of blackness and realise he's holding me in his arms.

I continue to search the room with my eyes and notice Toga motionless on the floor. Her chest is rising and falling though, so she's probably just knocked out.

I scan his body and try to speak but it comes out barely above a whisper "...Are you healed?"
"Yes" he gets out between tears.
"Good... good..." my eyelids become heavy, pleased i did my last job.
"Please don't go" he pulls me into his body, begging for me to stay alive.

But we were never meant to be. At least not in this life.

"I love you" I breathe out.
"Don't say it like that. Don't say it like this is the end. I wanted so much longer with you"

Parts of my body become numb. Even if i tried to move them i don't think i could. I fight just a bit longer, just so i can look at him for the last time.

"Katsuki.." My chest becomes tight as i inhale less each time "..I love you"
He folds over, burying his face into me as his tears stream "I love you too, dumbass"

A content smile finds its way on my lips, happy that he's the last person i'm seeing as i die. I'm not in pain anymore and all of my sins have been lifted. For the first time ever, i don't feel as i'm being weighed down. I can let go.

Bakugo Katsuki,

Thank you for teaching me how to love.

And i loved being on your arms at the end because i could look into those eyes. The ones i'd grown so fond of and fallen in love with over and over again. They were the last things i saw and...

All i saw was crimson.
