Blissful, peaceful, blessed silence. Kyoka had no idea why she was being punished with this horrid headache but she was silently offering up pleas of mercy to whatever deities existed to take away the dreadful throbbing in her brain.
'I promise I'll never stab Jamming-Whey again if it will make this damn headache go away!' A sharp throb was her only response and she hissed in pain. 'Yea, yea you're right, he definitely deserves those..' A slightly duller throb this time.
Kyoka groaned and flopped onto her bed face first, her jacks and hair bouncing up slightly and then falling back down around her head. She turned her face to the side, glancing at her walls, thanking her past self for putting up soundproof padding around the room and not just various posters of her favorite bands. What was once a precaution due to not wanting to annoy her dorm mates with her music was now a protection from the wild party going on downstairs. She sighed and closed her eyes again to help ease the sensory overload on her abused gray matter.
Today was her close friend Mina's birthday and in true Mina fashion the pink Alien Queen needed to have a party that was just as wild, loud, crazy and… fun.. as the girl it was meant for. The purplette pouted and sighed into her sheets, she was having a great time downstairs and wished she could still be down there enjoying the party with everyone else. So many people had shown up including Aizawa, the Big Three of UA, Present Mic and a few of their sister class members like Tokage and Pony just to name a few. Even now she could hear her English teacher belt off a loud; "Yeaa!" that was barely muted by her walls when she felt the beat drop of the current song playing.
But sadly the powers that be had decided that today was going to not be her day and had decided that today was the perfect day to begin her torture. A little known fact about 1-A's resident rocker, her monthly gift for being a healthy woman actually made her quirk's already sensitive hearing even more sensitive and if she wasn't careful then that over sensitivity can quickly lead to her current predicament.
Another sigh blows past her lips as she begins to think; 'At least the cramps haven't sta- HRK!' and right in the middle of her thought a viscous cramp reared its head Kyoka let out an explosive breath followed by a strained wheeze.
"F-Fuck.. Oh my fucking god.." Unable to keep her words internalized this time due to the sheer shock of the pain the rock and roll enthusiast hugged her stomach and curled inwards, slowly beginning to regulate her breathing in an; 'In through the nose, out through the mouth.' Fashion. Rolling onto her other side and then letting her stomach loose she slowly crawled up her bed until she was high enough on the mattress to place her battered head on the soft, blessedly cool softness that was her pillow. Curling back up again she reached down to her comforter in an effort to pull it over her head and try to hide from the pain. As she did this her head snapped to the door when suddenly heard the soft click of her door opening. Although in her heightened and pained state it might as well have been a gunshot. Not to mention the door opening allowed the admittance of the pop music that was blasting its way through the dorm from the party down below. Hissing in pain she propped herself up on an arm to give whoever was at her door a glare that could've turned a man to stone and fumed in her mind.
'Who the hell even is that?! Who would just open my door like that! I said I wasn't feeling well! I swear they're going to get a jack to the eye for just opening the door like they own the place, I don't care who it is!' Opening her eyes and opening her mouth to tell whoever it was to leave her be so she could suffer in silence her eyes widened seeing a very familiar man. OK maybe she did care who it was. Green fluffy hair, scar riddled arms, a dorky dark green hoodie that had the word "Suit" written across the chest, a soft smile curling his lips and jade green eyes that held endless warmth and affection in them. It was Izuku Midoriya, Class 1-A's resident Bunker Buster and more importantly in the moment, her boyfriend.
Taken aback by his sudden appearance the purplette went to open her mouth and question his presence there.
"Izu-" But she was swiftly cut off by him raising his one empty hand in the universal sign for Stop. Clicking her mouth shut with a slight wince she raised one delicate eyebrow up in a motion that clearly conveyed her non-verbal confusion as to his presence. It wasn't like she wasn't happy to see him, the exact opposite actually, but she was in a lot of pain and she could feel her cramps getting worse by the moment. She didn't want to accidentally snap at him. Not to mention she'd already told her big green dork she was gonna go recover by herself and that he should stay and enjoy the party. She hadn't told him what was bugging her because not only was she in a rush to get away from the noise, but she hadn't wanted to take him away from the fun he was so clearly having. Leave it to him though to pick up on what was getting to her and come to her to make sure she was ok. God she adored him and his selfless nature.
Stepping into the room as quietly as he could, tall green and adorable shut the door behind him as gently as he could and even turned the handle as it closed before slowly letting the handle move back into position so the door wouldn't click again as it shut.
'This man..' Kyoka thought with a soft smile. She loved how considerate he was and how he always put in so much effort to be as kind or as helpful to her as possible. Even with his propensity to be helpful and go above and beyond for her she was not prepared for what happened next though. Because in the next moment he turned to her and placed the item he was carrying, which she had just now noticed was actually a hot water bottle, beneath his arm and pinned it to his body so he had both hands free. Raising both hands up the rocker's jaw dropped when he started moving his hands in slow and deliberate motions, his fingers only shaking slightly.
"Hey Kyoka, I know that your head's probably in so much pain right now from the music. And I also know that this is around the.. well.. you know.. Time of the month-" here he began to blush a bit because of what he was talking about. "-so I know your hearing's picking up everything extra loud. I just thought I'd come up here with this hot water bottle and keep you company!" Here he let out an absolutely loving smile towards her and Kyoka would swear to her dying breath she felt her heart swell and thud in her chest at the sight of it. She was speechless. When had he learned sign language? He'd never told her he was learning! Not to mention it could not have been easy on him with how damaged his hands and fingers were. Sign language was actually something her parents had taught her early in life because in a family with members that have super sensitive hearing quirks, that also happen to play extra loud music for a living, sometimes silence communication is the only remedy for a sore or sensitive ear.
She'd only mentioned it once before to him that her family used signing to communicate and she hadn't thought anything of it past that. But apparently her over the top fluffball of a boyfriend had zeroed in on that and decided to do something that really surprised her when it mattered most. She knew what he was doing and his thought process, he understood she was suffering sensory overload at the moment and that at any time in the future it was prone to affect her horribly so he had learned sign language to still be able to communicate with her without risking hurting her. Her eyes began to mist over because of just how absolutely amazing he was to her. She couldn't have asked for a better or more loving boyfriend because she knew there was none out there better than her green bean.
'I love this man so fucking much, how did I ever get so lucky?' While these thoughts were running through her head Midoriya had begun to make his way deeper into her room, passing her desk and grabbing something off the top of it. Sitting down next to her he placed the bottle in his lap and reached for the hem of his hoodie. Slowly pulling it up while looking her in the in his eyes she could see his overwhelming affection for her as well as nervousness that was then joined quickly by resolve. Raising her eyebrow in question the young woman's face was very quickly stained with a heavy blush. As the hoodie came off slowly it snagged his shirt a bit, pulling it up with it as her boyfriend continued to pull it over his head, all the while giving her a quick and delicious glimpse of the toned abs beneath before just as quickly the shirt fell again when he finished pulling it off fully. Seeing her flushed face he smiled a little smugly towards her, but not without a blush of his own at how bold what he had just done had been. Kyoka knew he probably did it to try and take her mind off of the pain she was in and she appreciated the effort. But that wouldn't stop the smug smirk she shot at him when his blush threatened to go nuclear under her quirked eyebrow and smirk. Because even if he was trying to be bold, or whatever the hell that had been, he was still the shy hero nerd that got flustered easily when doing something out of his normal comfort zone.
'Not that I'm any better if I'm being honest.' She acquiesced mentally. Deciding she couldn't wait any longer though and really really wanting to question him about where or how he'd learn to sign she was cut off before she could even lift her hands. Why you may ask? Well that's because she was suddenly attacked by the aforementioned hoodie. Having it placed over her head quickly and suddenly, she blinked on the inside of the article when all of a sudden her vision was swallowed by darkness that was tinted just slightly green. Shaking her head with an indulgent smile she put her arms through the hoodie that was entirely too big for her and got her head through the hood. When she could see again she noticed that the hot water bottle was already being offered to her and that in her efforts to put on the hoodie that had almost drowned her in its soft warm embrace Izuku had gotten up and moved to her side.
Grabbing the water bottle from him and looking at him with a slight tilt of her head she signed to him with one hand;
"What's up green, why are you standing there?" She got her answer a moment later when he gently reached down and lifted her, a squeak escaping her due to the unexpected move from tall green and dorky. Due to how much he trained she knew that he had had absolutely no issues lifting her much more petite body up in the air. While he had her still lifted in the air he swiftly slid into place where she had been just a moment before. Quickly placing her in his lap and pulling her back flush with his chest he reached around her waist and grabbed the bottle from her, placing it under the hoodie and against her stomach she shivered in delight and sighed immediately from the comfort brought on from the water. Being suddenly held so snugly by her unbelievably kind and caring boyfriend definitely helped a lot too.
All of this happened not a moment too soon either as she felt a cramp grip her abdomen again. As she tensed she felt his grip on her tighten, letting her know he was there for her and that he wouldn't let her go anytime soon. Sighing happily she looked back over her shoulder towards him and smiled an absolutely heart melting smile at him, one that conveyed all of her appreciation and love for him. That is, until he smiled back and lifted his arms revealing what he had grabbed from her desk. A pair of purple and black noise canceling headphones with extra cushioned cups. She gaped and then groaned lightly when she realized that in her excitement to celebrate one of her friends birthdays she'd forgotten the headphones she had bought SPECIFICALLY to avoid something like this happening to her. Dropping her head back onto Izuku's chest she closed her eyes and felt him gently place the headphones over her ears and with them being secured around her sensitive and overloaded ears she felt blissful total silence encompass her. Opening her eyes again to see him looking down at her with total love and affection she couldn't help herself from leaning up and kissing him softly on the jaw before closing her eyes, snuggling deeper into his warm embrace. She was so happy he had shown up despite her words earlier. She felt so unbelievably loved and cherished in that moment. Her heart was full of nothing but joy and love that someone like Izuku was in her life and cared so deeply for her.
Feeling one of those warm, strong arms lift from around her she cracked one of her eyes open and looked down at his hand where she saw him signing once more;
"Sleep now Violet, you can grill me later and I promise I'll tell you all the embarrassing stories of how often I messed up while learning. For now just sleep and know that-" Here he stopped signing and squeezed her tighter with his other arm before moving his hand into a deliberate sign that she knew. Her breath hitched with emotion as he held up his closed fist and slowly lifted his pointer finger; "I-" then he pushed his thumb out; "Love-" and finally he let his pinky rise up; "You."
She felt her heart thump again in her chest and her eyes most definitely didn't leak any happy tears! There's just dust in her eyes, y-yea that's it!
'Stupid Hormones.' She thought to herself even as her face was stuck in a happy dopey smile. She replicated the sign to him and then used that same hand to grab his much larger one, pulling it back down around her and intertwining their fingers. She was rewarded with a loving squeeze and a kiss being laid against her hair. Happy and filled to bursting with love the throbbing in her head and the occasional cramps were a muted though as the purplette sighed and closed her eyes again, letting herself drift to sleep while cocooned in the all encompassing warmth and love of her amazing and tooth achingly sweet lover.
