Don't Let Go || TodoBaku

Why me? Why us? Why him?

Todoroki's POV
Weeks have past and time feels slow. I am home alone right now because bakugou was at the store getting groceries. Normally we go together but today he wanted to surprise me with something good for dinner. I was sitting in the living room in silence and screamed the only noise was of the little droplets of water coming out of the faucet in the kitchen. He has been gone thirty minutes and I was starting to get impatient and hungry.

Bakugou's POV
Which fish should I get? Tuna or Salmon? I wanted to make tonight's dinner special because we have both needed a good night considering the chaos that has happened this week. I decided on tuna and walked down a couple other isles and grabbing more things for the fish. Before I came, I looked up recipes and up cane a really good fish one. But it didn't specify what fish so I kinda had to guess. I walked up to the checkout and scanned my items. 50.97$. Damn fish is expensive these days. I payed, then grabbed my bags and walked out to my car.

Todoroki's POV
I waited and waited then heard someone unlocking the door. I scurried up to it and in walked a wild bakugou holding plastic grocery bags. "Hey babe! Got some good food?" I said cheerfully. "Yup, it will only take me around fifteen minutes to prepare so sit tight and put on a movie or something in the meantime". He thought of having to wait anymore made me sigh. I walked into the living room and sat down while turning on the TV and scrolling through channels. I found my favorite movie on and snuggled up with the pillow next to me. I guess I was in deep concentration cause next thing I knew bakugou was shaking me and telling me food was done. I ran over to the dinner table and saw a fish platter. "Babbeee! You know how much I love fish!" I squeeled sitting down in the chair. He sat down across from me and we both began eating. "Wow Katsuki! This is really good!" I said mouth full of food. "I'm glad you like it". After we ate, I grabbed my pills out of the cabinet an took two. My therapist prescribed me anti-depressants a couple weeks ago and so far they had really worked. I haven't thought about harming myself in awhile and I've been slowly eating more and more. With daily check-ins, she is able to watch my growth on the medication. Bakugou pulled me into his arms from behind and kissed me on the cheek. "You know I love you right?". I nodded in response and set my pills down. "Wanna go out for ice cream? It's not too late" he said into my ear while we rocked back and forth in the kitchen. "Yeah!". I slid on my shoes and grabbed the keys while we headed out the door. He held my hand the whole way which was common. We had to park across the street because the parking was full. We crossed the road and walked in. I ordered mint chocolate chip and bakugou ordered strawberry. The lady handed us the two cones and we sat down. Right outside he window was a cat and I waved at the cute little thing before it ran off. The ice cream was cold and sweet and tasted really good. We tried each others and finished eating. I grabbed a couple napkins and washed up before we left. On our walk back to the car bakugou saw a cat in the middle of the street. It was tabby cat, curled up into a ball. "Shoto I have to save that cat!" Bakugou said letting go of my hand. "Wait! Babe no!" I screamed trying to get him to stop, but I was too late. He ran into the wet slick street toward the cat and tried to scoop it up. A bright light was coming closer and closer before he was hit and flung backwards. "KATSUKI!" I screamed running into the street toward his body. There was blood everywhere and his eyes had gone dull. I fell to my knees and felt the hot tears fall from my face. Why? I took him into my arms and my tears fell onto his face. I was gasping for air and it felt like I couldn't breath. I was having another panic attack and people from the street ran over to help me. A man ran over to bakugou and was trying to stop the bleeding while what seemed like his wife was trying to calm me down. "Hey shh it's going to be okay" she reassured me. It wasn't going to be okay. I was hospitalized weeks ago and now he has to be. Someone had called an ambulance and they carried him in. I got in as well and rode along, holding his hand the entire way.

<<<~~~>>>

"I'm very sorry but he is not going to make it despite our efforts, he has a couple hours at best and could pass any minute now. Come with me and you can say your goodbyes". I stared at the floor in shock. He's going to die? Gone....forever? I could feel his mother's grip tighten on my hand as she screamed. "My baby!". Tears would not stop flowing out of everyones eyes as we all felt the wave of sadness hit us. We all walked into the room where he was and everyone went before me. I couldn't say goodbye first, it had to be last. Then it was my turn. Everyone stepped back as I grabbed his hand in mine. He was cold and weak. "Hey Katsuki..." I said still crying. "H-hey now don't cry..." he said weak and frail. "I love you so so much and I was planning on giving this to you tonight so here" he said setting a small black box in my hand. When I opened it, there sat a diamond ring. "K-Katsuki..." I looking from him to the ring. "I was going to ask if you would Marry me but i don't think a wedding is going to happen so yeah...". His voice was so weak and he was having trouble breathing. "Please Shoto, just because I may be gone, don't let go of the precious life you have. Move on and find someone worth loving-" I cut him off with a short kiss. He smiled at me then I heard beeping. "I l-love you Shoto" he said hand falling from my face to his lap and tears falling down his face. He closed his eyes and took one last breath.

Sorry for ending it like this buuut I will make one more chapter of the funeral and stuff so yeah!
