-Rose's POV-

During the time of the UA entrance exams, I was actually out on a mission in Kyushu to help Hawks out. He claimed it was urgent, so I wished Izuku luck before I left and apologized to Toshinori for not being there for them both. I knew they were both nervous for Izuku, and to be honest, I was too, but I had also seen the determination of the sweet kid. That led me to not worrying as much as I would have otherwise.

Upon reaching Kyushu, I was immediately greeted by a familiar head of sandy hair, vermillion wings, and cocky smile. Hawks had trained me in flying once Enji-nii had helped me control my flames. At a glance, one would assume that the winged hero would have been fun to train with and as easygoing as he was in public. That was definitely not the case. Training with Hawks had been almost more intense than training with Enji, and I often found myself passing out as soon as I reached the agency, sometimes without calling a worried Toshinori.

When that happened, I always knew to expect at least 10 missed calls and 20 texts from my worry wart of a husband. The last texts were always along the lines of "Spoke to Hawks. He said you're sleeping. I hope you're taking care of yourself. I miss you so much. I love you." It always warmed my heart to see in the mornings and really helped me to not give up during that intense month of training. During that training, Hawks had taken to calling me Onee-chan because we got tired of the media and fans trying to accuse us of dating, and because I admitted to him once during a night of drinking after training that he reminded me a lot of one of my younger brothers, specifically the one who had passed away while I was pregnant with Isha.

"Hey there, Mrs. Might," Hawks teased with a cocky smirk, snapping me out of my reminiscing and earning the bird man a glare.

"Not so loud, moron! That's not public information!" I hissed, earning a chuckle from the laid back hero.

"So sorry, Onee-chan. I just have to tease you since I didn't get an invite to the wedding," he admitted with a mock hurt expression. I rolled my eyes at this and gave him a playful smack across the back of the head as we walked out of the airport.

"Enji-nii didn't get one either. I told you there wasn't much of a wedding. It was literally just some of the teachers from UA because the furball insisted that we do more than just a courthouse thing," I defended myself with a huff of annoyance. Hawks and Enji-nii had both been butt hurt about not being invited, but I couldn't risk Toshinori's secret coming out to anyone else.

After a week of this constant back and forth between me and Hawks, we managed to complete the mission, successfully breaking up an entire drug cartel that had been gaining power in the area. It led to me getting a pretty bad gash along my right side that had to have several stitches on my last night in the city, but I refused to reschedule my flight. One week had been too long, and I was ready to get back to Toshinori and find out how Izuku had done on the entrance exams. Toshinori had been really busy after the exams having to record congratulatory messages for all those who passed and were accepted into UA, so we decided that we would wait till I returned home to talk about it.

As I unlocked the door to our apartment, my teeth grit slightly in pain, I was greeted with a huge hug from my husband that caused me to let out a whimper of pain. This elicited a concerned expression from Toshinori as he backed away quickly and looked at me trying to figure out where I was hurting.

"Sorry," I apologized through gritted teeth, "One of the villains during the raid last night got me on my left side with a sword… I've got ten stitches on my left side, and my pain meds are wearing off." Toshinori looked at me in concern.

"Why didn't you wait till you were more healed to come home? You shouldn't have been travelling in this condition," Toshinori scolded gently as he took my suitcase and wheeled it into our room before easing me onto our bed, "Rose… What can I do to help?" I smiled at him and grabbed his thin arm and pulled him down to my level and pressed my lips to his, letting out a sigh of relief.

Something about Toshinori's touch always managed to help me with my stress and anxiety regardless of how I was feeling physically. I felt him smile a bit as he returned my kiss for a moment before pulling back and giving me a worried small.

"While I'm glad to help in that way, I was more referring to how I could help with your pain," he pointed out, not letting me get away with ignoring my injuries. I sighed in mock disappointment, earning an amused chuckle from him.

"Well I guess since you won't help that way, helping me clean and rewrap this stupid cut would be a big help, and getting my pain meds out of the top pocket of my suitcase," I answered with an irritated pout. I really just wanted to cuddle and sleep. Toshinori gave me another amused smile before leaning down and pressing his warm, thin lips to my forehead.

"I can do that," he assured me as he helped me get off the bed and to our attached bathroom, making sure I didn't trip because of my now more pronounced limp, "Afterwards, I'll come lay down with you and we can be lazy for the rest of the day. How does that sound?" I smiled despite trying to seem annoyed. This man really was too good for me.

"That sounds perfect," I admitted as he started unwrapping my wound. He grimaced when he saw the wound that was now red and puffy from the irritation of how I had been moving it while travelling.

"Rose, you really shouldn't have travelled with a wound like this," Toshinori scolded gently as he got out some antiseptic and started dabbing it gently on my wound with a soft clean cloth, earning a hiss of pain from me when the burning of the antiseptic started.

"I didn't want to be away from you anymore," I admitted quietly. Ever since Toshinori had decided to give his quirk to Izuku, I found myself feeling more and more anxious and having more and more nightmares about what had happened to Santosh and Isha, but instead of Santosh in my nightmares, he's been replaced with Toshinori.

While in Kyushu, the night terrors had gotten so bad that it had woken Hawks to the point where he thought I was being tortured in the middle of the night. I had one every single night I was in Kyushu, but I didn't want to worry Toshinori with that. He had enough to worry about with it, so I was hoping it would stop once I was back with him again. The lack of restful sleep was part of what caused my reflexes to be too slow to stop the injury that was now causing me a major inconvenience.

Toshinori told me I was now on required bed rest until my stitches healed up a bit. He also had let me know that Izuku had gotten zero points for destroying robots during the practical exam, but he still managed to pass because of his hero points that he got for saving a girl and taking out a zero point robot which apparently was way bigger than the other robots. In the process though, Izuku had broken both his arm and both his legs. I shook my head in disbelief. I had no idea One For All was so destructive on the body of the user. That would explain why Toshinori's injuries always seemed more aggravated after using it for a while.

After treating my wound, true to his word, Toshinori led me back to bed and pulled me to where I was laying on my right side with my head on his chest. Taking a deep breath, inhaling his scent, I found myself all but melted into the man beside me. His warm hands soothed me even further, one gently rubbing my back, the other stroking my hair, earning an appreciative hum from me. Pressing a sweet kiss to the crown of my head, Toshinori broke the silence.

"I still think it was unwise for you to travel in your current condition, but I'm so glad to have you back in my arms," he admitted, his deep voice thick with emotions as he buried his face into my hair. I smiled and nuzzled into his chest, placing a small kiss on his throat.

"It's hard to sleep when I'm away from you," I admitted sheepishly as I let out a large yawn. I felt a rumble in Toshinori's chest as he chuckled.

"You really are too adorable, Rose," he cooed leaning down to kiss me on the nose earning a small giggle and blush from me, "Get some sleep, my dear. I'll stay here with you until you wake up." I laid my head back on his chest and hummed in agreement, suddenly feeling too tired to form words as I found myself fading quickly into a peaceful slumber, trusting the kind golden haired man holding me to keep the nightmares away.
