But things are differnt this time around, and not necessarily in a good way. Fem!Izuku IzukuxKatsuki

10. Not for anything

Katsuki was crying. So was Izuku. Actually, a few people were crying, but Izuku thinks for most it's just shock. For Katsuki, it's emotional. For Izuku it's physical. Her body won't move, but Aizawa is hovering over her. His hands are inches from her, but not touching, unsure of what to do to help. That's okay, because he's okay, and that was the point of it all. Katsuki would yell at her for saying that. If she could find the energy to actually say anything. Or if Katsuki could stop crying for long enough to respond. Izuku very much doubts either will happen. She's thinking straight though, somewhat, and that's a good thing at least. Means that her head is better condition than the rest of her body.

She doesn't think, but knows that there is nothing short of a miracle and a life saving quirk that will be able to keep her alive. Recovery Girl won't be enough. No way in hell.

Izuku finds herself wishing she could say good bye to Katsuki. Give him one last kiss. Tell him not to waste away or she'll beat his ass from the grave. More tears begin to roll off her cheeks. Katsuki is so close, right in front of her infact and Izuku can do nothing. Izuku actually begins to ball when Katsuki, like the amazing, wonderful, beautiful boyfriend he is, seems to see all this in Izuku's eyes and careful of her injuries, leans forward and puts his forehead against hers. He's shaking and balling just as hard as Izuku is but he still presses his lips to hers. Just for a moment because Izuku can't breath through her nose and even through her mouth she thinks this is what it must feel like to drown, but it was all she needed.

Through the tears Izuku smiles up at Katsuki, bright and hopeful, and that's what seems to push him over the edge. A sobbing scream rips through the USJ, and everyone turns to the source, one distraught Bakugo Katsuki, before turning away just as quickly, unable to bear the sight.

As darkness takes over Izuku's vision and all the sound around her turns to static, Izuku just wishes she could apologize to Katsuki for what she's putting him through, but also tell him that she wouldn't take back what she did. Not for anything. Not when she was finally what she had always wanted to be. Not when she was finally proving them all wrong. Not when she was what she had given up on all those years ago. Not when she was finally someone's hero. She wouldn't take that back. Not for anything.
