                                                                    izuku ran through the castle halls, another man beside him, but as izuku's breath begain to heave, his legs gave up on him, and he fell to the ground, tears rolling down his dirty face

the man turned back to izuku, chest heaving as he yelled, "izuku you have to hurry! we have to get to serenity! you have to keep going!"

"i-i can't. . . lou i can't. . . i can't keep going. . . rody. . . what he did. . . i just can't. . . lou please. . . i can't. . ."

"i just can't. . ."
                                                                                     
izuku groaned as he stirred awake, feeling heavy sheets on his body, he looked around before laying eyes on shigaraki, who was sitting next to izuku's bed, looking down and reading a book

"mmh. . . i thought demons can't read. . ." izuku mumbled, startling shigaraki, "hey, you're awake" shiagaki said, putting down his book and looking towards izuku, who struggled to get up, still feeling a sharp pain in his side

"don't get up, the doctor just fixed you up an hour ago" shigarki said, making izuku lay back down and pull the covers back over him, "stop it. . . i can take care of myself" izuku said, feeling his head

shigaraki shifted nervously, his demon tail wagging, ". . . you want to ask if i need anything don't you?" izuku said, not even looking at shigaraki, "yes please! do you need anything!?"

izuku sighed as he said, "fine, is there anything to eat or drink? not your stupid slop soup, and can you close the blinds? the light is hurting my head" izuku asked

"yes!!!" shigaraki said, quickly closing the blinds and running out to go get food

izu: welp. . . that's how to get rid of him. . .

izuku then sat up, whincing as he did, he then looked down to see he was shirtless, but his side was wrapped with bandages

"damn it. . ." izuku cursed, laying back down as shigaraki walked back in, a hot bowl of kastudon and a cup on tea in both his hands, "alright, i got katsudon and fresh green tea, is that good?" shigaraki asked, holding up the cup and bowl

"mmh. . . yeah that's good, i like katsudon and green tea, there my favorite" izuku mumbled, reaching out for the katsudon and shigaraki setting down the cup, "haha admit it, i'm awesome"

"fuck off shigaraki"

"alright fair enou-"

"i mean it shigaraki, fuck off

"uh- izuku. . . are you ok-"

"NO DAMN IT I'M NOT OK!!! AND STOP ACTING LIKE THIS IS FINE!!!"

shigaraki was taken aback by this, taking a moment before looking back up at izuku

". . . look, i didn't mean to yell. . . but i'm not sorry. . .  you take me from my home. . . put me through hell by making me go through the human empire, while i was in pain, and then you go on and on about you wanting to marry me for. . . for- i don't even know why! . . . i just can't keep on. . . i just want to go home, back to my forest, where no one can hurt me and. . . where i can't hurt anyone else. . . "

shigaraki thought on this, taking everything into consideration

". . . izuku. . . i'm sorry, its just. . . i have been imagining being with you. . . since i had first heard of you. . . i mean- i mean you are amazing, fasanating even, but. . . i'll admit. . . i have been forcing you in this. . . but trust me when i say, that i never meant you any harm. . . the vampires. . . the humans. . . the crazy general monster thing. . . i never thought or knew that that would happen, i promise you izuku"

izuku looked over shigaraki's face, searching for anything, any slight sign of ill intent

. . . but finding nothing

. . . there was just pure kindness and lovingness

shigaraki took izuku's hand in his, gripping it softly as he stared into izuku's emerald eyes

"izuku midoriya. . . i'm going to make a deal. . ."
