Going further beyond!

-a few minutes after Toshinori's loss, third POV-
Izuku was in a stance with Bakugo and Todoroki facing down the giant bird named Nomu. Just a few minutes ago, he watched his closest friend get torn apart that...'thing' and now they are next. Poor Izuku was practically in tears because of what happened to Toshinori, he has developed a lot of mixed feelings for him but doesn't know what to say or do, be as he is an awkward guy.
A pillar of pink flames came out from the water and curved to land in front of the three. There stood, in his PINK glory, was Toshinori.
"So...this is what stage 4 feels like!" He said as he looked at his hands. "I feel...I feel like I can go higher!" He then growled out as he laughed.
"HOW HOW HOW! This is so unfair you CHEATER! NOMU KILL HIM AGAIN!" Tomura yelled and Nomu started to fight Toshinori. Toshinori and Nomu were actually completely matched at this stage but Nomu was starting to pull away from him in terms of speed and strength. Toshinori yelled and punched him harder, tearing some skin but it grew back. "You see Toshinori besides for shock absorption and super abilities, he has super regeneration too!" Tomura laughed manically.
"You think I care! I just gotta kick it up again!" He growled and Toshinori jumped away. "I just gotta go further beyond..." he then trailed off as his white aura came back and he started to change. His hair got black but his white aura was different, it was more...content?
"...PLUS ULTRA!" He exclaimed as a pillar of white aura exploded from him and there stood him.
ONE FOR ALL: 100% Toshinori!
"I can feel all of my quirks tearing and ripping each other apart, I don't know how long I can hold this but I WILL FINISH THIS RIGHT NOW" Toshinori exclaimed before launching a volley of punches that looked like a blur at Nomu, who did his best to block it.
Toshinori continued to wail on the quirk creature as he started to give ground and Toshinori was speeding up. He then kicked Nomu away from him, about ten feet away. The white aura then launched a punch that made a blast of energy and hit Nomu in the arm, taking it off. He then did this again so Nomu was armless and defenseless. "GO TOSHINORI GO!" Was what a lot of people were chanting as he stopped moving and started to charge up a blast of energy.
"THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEFT TO GIVE! THE LAST ENERGY OF 'ARCHIVE'! SUPER GALICK GUN..."Toshinori exclaimed loudly so everyone could hear him.
"...FIRE"
And with that he blew the top half of Nomu, the fountain, the wall behind it, and a few trees away! A portal opened up next to the two remaining villains.
"Tomura it's over, he still has enough energy to fight us, we must leave!" Kurogiri exclaimed and Tomura was freaking out.
"Ngh...how could we lose, IM GONNA KILL HIM" Tomura yelled and rushed at Toshinori but only got three steps before a bullet went through his knees, signaling the teachers have arrived. Kurogiri opened up a portal so Shigaraki could fall into it. "I'll be back for you Toshinori, Sensei has big plans for you" He said ominously as he entered the portal.
"Toshinori you did it!" Izuku yelled as he run up to him and Toshinori powered down but didn't say anything. "Um, Toshinori?" He then asked to get his attention but nothing happened.
"It's gone Izuku" he stated with a small voice. "My Archive, and most of my other quirk is gone" He then exclaimed as he collapsed but Izuku caught him.
Next thing Toshinori knew, it all went black...
-hours later, Musutafu Hospital-
Instead of being brought to Recovery Girl, Toshinori was brought directly to the hospital. The time was around 11:00 pm and Izuku was in Toshinori's room with his mother. He received a text from All Might that said he should be there soon so that made him a little bit relieved, but not much. Currently Toshinori was laying in the hospital bed wrapped up with bandages and a oxygen mask. The doctors told the two Midoriyas that his quirks put a hurting on his muscles and ligaments, but not before 'burning up'.
Not for the better though
They told them that he would wake up soon and Izuku didn't realize it but he was holding Toshinori's hand. It was a big surprise when they found out that Inko was put down to be his next parental contact. "Izuku darling, he will be fine don't worry" Inko told her son but she knew that it could go both ways, but seeing her son like this broke her heart. Izuku didn't respond because he didn't trust himself to speak, fearing he was going to cry again.
Then he felt something squeeze his hand! Toshinori was starting to wake up and they heard a loud groan come from him as Inko called for the doctors. Toshinori just turned his head and stared at Izuku for a few seconds. "You are adorable you know" He said to Izuku as Izuku started to tear up.
"Ah Toshinori, how do you feel?" Recovery Girl asked him as he took a deep breath. He then groaned before he tried to sit up.
"Like I've been run over by a stampede of buffaloes" he told her as he start to disconnect the stuff that was hooked up to him. "Get this shit off of me, my healing quirks will be fine" he said as the nurses started to stop him.
"Well that would be the case if you still had them" Recovery Girl then said as he froze.
"So...I was right"
"Yep, turns out One For All refused to be 'put out' so to speak" she started as she looked at her board. "Instead of using itself it attacked Archive, causing it to be destroyed or dormant by damaging the Quirk Factor. The thing is in the presses of doing that One For All changed itself too, looking over some of the tape from USJ and comparing it to are notes we described something...strange" she then told him.
"So?"
"You never went 100%, you used One For All in a completely different fashion and it was at least 50% of your original power with using every single quirk from Archive to fuel it, but that's only a hypothesis for now" she concluded as she sighed. "You need to stay the night so we know you're healthy enough to go home, you may have to stay a few days actually" she said before the nurses hooked Toshinori back up to some stuff.
"Well that sucks" he said as he laid back down. "Um Mrs. Midoriya, Izuku you two don't have to stay" He then said as Inko frowned.
"We can't actually because you're in a stable condition but I wanted to, you're father said he'd be here in the morning because his plane got delayed" Inko then told Toshinori as he sighed. During this exchange Izuku was crying while muttering under his breath. Inko then excused herself with the doctors and Recovery Girl.
"Izuku stop crying please?" Toshinori asked him as he nodded and tried to stop. "I'm sorry you had to go through that today, if I was stronger it could have went differently..."Toshinori trailed on his he tightened his fists.
"Don't say that! You did amazing! You beat som-" was all Izuku got out before Toshinori cut him off.
"I died Izuku, I don't know how I did it but I came back from death" he said as izuku heard something he couldn't believe, Toshinori was crying. "I thought it was all over and all I could think about was that I was leaving everyone to fend for themselves, but mainly you" He then said as he kept crying.
"I'm sorry I didn't help!" Izuku blurted our because he didn't know what to say.
"You're sorry? Izuku you're just so...so..." Toshinori said as he reached up a hand to rub his cheek, causing him to freeze. "You're an amazing person, if you got involved with that you could have died" he then continued as he held Izuku's cheek. Izuku closed his eyes and continued to let Toshinori do it. 'Well here goes nothing' Toshinori then thought.
"Hey Izuku, come closer for a second"
Izuku leaned forward a bit and Toshinori sat up. There faces were inches apart, causing Izuku to blush a deep red and Toshinori to freeze. A few seconds later Izuku sucked it up and kissed Toshinori, surprising him to the point were he didn't know what to do. Izuku then broke the kiss...
...and promptly fainted!

I gave up on this story after rewriting the chapter 9 different times but I finally decided on this. I really like this story is the thing and will not give up on it, I promise!
Also, would you all like to see more fluff now that Toshinori and Izuku are together?
Anyways, have a nice day!
