As Izuku slowly woke up, he found himself alone in his room, the warmth of the morning sunlight seeping through the curtains. Stretching his limbs, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment, a lingering feeling from the night before. Izuku feeling a bit unsafe without bakugo by his side a feeling he was not used too.

A delicious aroma wafted into his room, tickling his senses and making his stomach growl. Curiosity piqued, Izuku followed the scent, stumbling his way out of his room and towards the kitchen. Each step was filled with anticipation, wondering who could be responsible for such a delightful surprise.

As he entered the kitchen, his eyes widened in surprise. There stood Bakugo, his back turned to Izuku, focused on flipping pancakes with practiced ease. The sight of Bakugo, usually so fiery and intense, engaged in such a domestic task, filled Izuku with a mix of awe and warmth.

Bakugo turned his head, catching sight of Izuku, and a soft smile graced his lips. "Morning, sleepyhead," he greeted, his voice gentle and affectionate. "I hope you slept well."

Izuku blinked, momentarily taken aback at the sight before him. He nodded, meekly. Hoping the small gesture would be enough. He hasn't yet found his voice.

Bakugo motioned for Izuku to take a seat at the kitchen table, which was already set with plates, utensils, and a stack of freshly made pancakes. Izuku settled into the chair, his eyes never leaving Bakugo as he continued to cook.

As Bakugo plated the pancakes and placed them in front of Izuku, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Seeing Izuku's surprised expression and knowing that he had brought on an emotion other than fear to his face filled Bakugo's heart with a warmth he hadn't expected.

They sat together, the silence between them comfortable and filled with anticipation. Izuku took a bite of the pancakes, savoring the delicious flavors that danced on his tongue. He couldn't help but steal glances at Bakugo, who seemed to be watching him with a mix of curiosity and something deeper.

After they finished eating, Bakugo cleared the table, and Izuku motioned  to help. They worked together, their movements synchronized, a silent understanding between them. As they washed the dishes, their hands occasionally brushed against each other, sending a jolt of electricity through their veins.

Once the kitchen was clean, Bakugo turned to face Izuku, his eyes filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "Izuku," he began, his voice soft yet resolute. "I want you to know that I'm here for you. I'll always respect your boundaries and support you in any way I can."

Izuku's heart swelled with emotion, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. He reached out, taking Bakugo's hand in his own, the first time he had initiated physical contact between them.

Izuku felt ok enough to do this much and bakugo gleaned with hope that he would i fact be able to be the one to help izuku have a normal life a happy one. Izuku eventually broke contact Turning away, Izuku made his way towards the sofa, his mind still slightly foggy from sleep. However, in his groggy state, he misjudged his steps and stumbled, bracing himself for the impact of the ground. But before he could hit the floor, strong arms wrapped around him, preventing his fall.

Izuku's heart raced as he realized Bakugo had caught him, their bodies pressed close together. He could feel the warmth of Bakugo's chest against his back, the steady rise and fall of his breath. It was an intimate moment, one that sent a shiver down Izuku's spine.

Bakugo's grip tightened slightly, steadying Izuku. "Careful there, Deku," he murmured, his voice laced with concern. "You alright?"

Izuku nodded, his cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and gratitude. Bakugo's arms slowly released their hold on Izuku, but he didn't step away. Instead, he lingered, his presence a comforting anchor. "I've got you Deku," he replied softly, his voice filled with a tenderness that Izuku had rarely heard before.
