" By the next morning that place looked like I set off a God damn bomb in it, and I guess you could say I did, one in the form of myself because I put so many holes in that place. I looked like a fucking mad man as I tore through that place, pissed off after I found each of those hex bags. I know damn well I looked like one as I sat leaned against the wall shirtless, my hair a fucking disaster, covered in dirt and dust from tearing shit apart. My hands were even blistered from the grip I had on the sledgehammer which only got tighter the more pissed off I got."

" Now it was six am and as the sun was just rising I was wrapping my bloodied blistered hands chugging a Gatorade as I listened to a soft worried voice rattling on some place next to me."

" Oh my gosh Kacchan. Your hands look so bad. So sore, and you look so tired, I mean you haven't slept all night and you really didn't take any breaks and thats the first thing I've seen you drink besides coffee and I really wish you would eat something. Gosh I wish I could get out of this stupid house and help you. I feel so bad for being so much trouble."

" I may not have been able to see his face but I could put money on the fact that he was probably cute as fuck right now as he rambled on without hardly taking a damn breath."

" I smirked."

" Izuku calm down before you have a stroke or some shit. I mean, don't get me wrong I'm really into you being all worried about me, been a long time since I had something like that."

" I was honestly surprised I said that. I'm not a sharing my feelings kinda guy, but something about Izuku was different and I knew that. Something about him made me different somehow."

" He cleared his throat and I heard and sensed him sit down next to me."

" Oh.. um..I am kind of a worrier I guess you could say and you're doing so much to help me and I see how it wears on you a bit so it makes me concerned and I.. .. I have definitely formed an attachment to you so I really care about your well being."

" I actually smiled, something I noticed I've been doing a lot of lately. Shut up extra."

" An attachment huh? That just your way of sayin you have a massive crush on me?"

" I grinned in his direction earning that soft laugh that now I'm attached to before he spoke again."

" Man, you really are cocky, but you may possibly be right. Kind of hard not to when you came in here all good-looking like a superhero to save the day and honestly the cocky thing works for you, really well."

" The tone was sheepish but man I fell for it every damn time. Before I could respond he kept talking."

" You.. you said it's been a long time since you had someone worry about you?"

" Now it was me who felt a little sheepish, not use to talking about this kind of shit. I shrugged with a slight smile."

" Yeah, it's been a while."

" I find that so hard to believe I mean, have you seen you?! I'm sure there's people lined up to be with you, who would really like to be the one to worry and fuss over you."

" I don't blush, I wasn't sure I was even capable of doing so, but I definitely did right here. I played it off with a smirk and a chuckle."

" I've seen me, and yeah don't get it twisted, I have lots of admirers and shit who wouldn't mind I guess but I don't think I've ever had someone that I wanted to stick around that long, plus I'm kind of intense most of the time, that's not always easy to want to be around all the time for some people."
