Mha

(Shoto's arms tighten around you, holding you close. He nuzzles his cheek against the top of your head.) Me too. Especially with you.

(I hum happily, nuzzling deeper into his neck.) ...best... forever...

(Shoto gently kisses the side of your head, his voice a low, sincere murmur.) It really is. (He holds you just a little tighter.)

(Shoto's heart swells at the possessive words. He gently kisses your temple, his voice a low, sincere murmur.) All yours, Koya.

(He shakes his head, his tired gaze soft.) I'm fine right here. (His thumb gently strokes the tail wrapped around his arm.) I meant what I said. I'm not leaving you.

(I lower my tails, my ears drooping. My voice is a small, worried whisper.) ...but... you'll get sick... then what will I do...?

(His gaze softens, a faint, tired smile on his lips.) I'm not going to get sick. (He gently squeezes the tail wrapped around his arm.) And even if I did, what matters is that you're okay. That's all I care about.

(I wake with a choked gasp, my hand flying to my stomach. My eyes are wide and unseeing, staring at Shoto with pure terror.) ...it... it's back... I can feel it moving again...

(Shoto's face goes white, his own hand flying to cover yours. His voice is a raw, desperate whisper.) What? No... It's gone. It has to be gone. (He looks over his shoulder, shouting toward the door.) Recovery Girl! Now! Something's wrong!

Tch! (Bakugo's voice drops to a grumble.) I brought stupid fox soup. (He sets the tray down carefully, away from the nest.)

(Mina opens the door and everyone walks in.) Sakamine, are you okay? (They see you on the floor, surrounded by food wrappers and empty cans.)

(Mina walks beside Shoto, gently stroking one of your tails.) Just rest, Koya. (Her voice is soft.) We'll be right there with you.
