Two weeks later...
It's still Summer Break. You're finally discharged from the hospital. The pain was gone. It was easier to laugh and talk again. The nurses said you could take your bandages off. But you wanted to keep the scars covered. After your mum approved of Denki as your boyfriend, he came to hang out in your room sometimes.
Knock Knock Knock
Y/N: "I got it, mum."
You open the front door. Denki is leaning against the door frame.
Denki: "Sup, cutie."
Y/N: "Hey, you. Come on in."
You take his hand and bring him inside.
Mum: "Is that your other half?"
Denki: "Hi, Ms L/N!"
Mum: "Nice to see you again, dear."
You take Denki up to your room. He goes in and sits on your bed. When you shut the door and turn to face him. He's frowning at you.
Denki: "When are you going to take those off? I want to see your full beautiful self."
You look away from him.
Y/N: "They're... gross..."
He stands up, walks over to your desk and picks up a pair of scissors. He then walks back over to you and places them in your hand.
Denki: "Show me..."
You look down at the ground.
Y/N: "Denki, I can't-"
He gently lifts up your chin to look you in your eyes.
Denki: "Please..."
You give in. He walks you over to your full body mirror and stands behind you, with his hands on your shoulders. You take the scissors and start slowly cutting away the bandages. The whole time, Denki is looking at you in the mirror, not taking his eyes off you. You do your arms first. You were more scared of the one on your neck. When you finish your arms, he didn't say anything. You guessed he was waiting for you to finish. You cut through the bandages on your neck even slower. You hated the way they look. They looked a little like Todoroki's scar, but the one on your neck looks like a handprint of where Dabi grabbed you. As if it were branded on. You try to cover it with your hands.
Denki: "Hey, now. None of that. Give me those..."
Denki takes your hands in his and wraps his arms around you. You start to cry.
Y/N: "I hate it..."
Denki: "You're so beautiful. You really are the lightning of my world."
Tears fall down your face. Denki smiles and kisses your neck repeatedly.
Denki: "This is how much I love you..."
He keeps kissing your scar.
Y/N: "Denki- heh... that tickles."
He kissed again.
Denki: "I know..."
You giggle and try to push him off. He smiles and keeps kissing.
Denki: "I missed your laugh so much."
Y/N: "Hahaha... Stop it!"
He laughs and spins you around to face him.
Y/N: "Can I put my bandages back on now?"
He smiles, picks you up and drops you on your bed.
Y/N: "AH!"
Denki: "No way! I'm not letting you cover those up again. Those aren't just scars, little spark. They're battle scars! Trophies of courage! I didn't have to be there to know how brave and courageous you were."
You smile up at him.
Y/N: "Alright... you win."
He grins and sits next to you.
Denki: "Of course I do!"
You punch his shoulder and laugh. You hadn't planned for him to stay longer than a few hours, but you both accidently fell asleep cuddling on your bed while watching a movie. The next morning, you wake up in his arms. He was already awake, admiring you.
Denki: "Good morning, beautiful."
Your face goes pink, but you don't let go.
Y/N: "Good morning... what day is it?"
Denki: "Heh, the next day."
Y/N: "Is it a little chilly in here or is it just me?"
You touch your neck and gasp.
Y/N: "Where- oh..."
Denki laughs and hugs you closer, gently running his fingers through your hair. You hear a soft knock on your bedroom door. Your mum sticks her head in.
Mum: "Are you two awake yet? Oh, good morning sleepy heads."
Y/N: "Hey, mum."
Denki: "Morning, Ms L/N."
Mum: "I came in last night to call you for dinner, but you fell asleep. Come down for breakfast when you're ready."
Y/N: "Thanks, mum. We'll be down in a minute."
She smiles and shuts your door. You both look at each other.
Denki: "Shall we, m'lady?"
You put your face into his chest.
Y/N: "But it's cosy here."
Your stomach growls loudly. Your face goes red. Denki laughs and pokes your tummy.
Denki: "Someone's hungry."
His stomach growled too. You put your head up and giggle.
Denki: "Well, we did sleep though dinner."
You both get up and walk down to breakfast, arm in arm.
