Shouto is woken by the loud crash that came from from the kitchen and the fact that he can't breathe. He goes to get up and shivers suddenly cold even though the cold doesn't usually bother him. "Izuku are you otay?" He asks going into the kitchen rubbing his eyes. Izuku is cleaning up the pots and tins that had fallen from a cabinet but, he pauses hearing Shouto come in.
"I forgot those were in the cabinet above the cabinet with the tea in it." He says sheepishly. "Did I wake you up?" Shouto nods shivering again. "Are you cold?" Izuku asks going over to him wrapping his arms around Shouto who nods snuggling closer. Izuku kisses his forehead and frowns, "Sho you're burning up." He picks up his boyfriend and goes back to their room setting him on the sheets. He fetches a thermometer and puts it under Shouto's tongue pulling it out of his mouth once it beeped. It reads 39 degrees celsius making Izuku worry because Shouto rarely gets sick never mind having such a high fever. He sees Shouto going towards the bathroom and catches his arm, "What are you doing?" he says perplexed.
"Taking a shower? I habe to work today and if I don't hurry I'll be late." Shouto replies trying to escape Izuku's gently but, firm grip. He squeaked when Izuku picks him up and puts him back in bed tucking him in. "I habe work Zuku."
Izuku shakes his head "Shouto you have a fever of 103. You're not going anywhere." He turns and grabs his phone taking a breath to prepare himself for the yelling match with Endeavor. He hit the number for the flame hero's personal phone leaving the room so Shouto wouldn't have to hear it.
"Endeavor's office. Oh hey Deku, what did you need?" Candle Light's cheerful voice chirped.
"Shouto won't be in today." Izuku says quietly but, the call gets cut off shortly after. He glares at the phone before going back to the bedroom to find Shouto out of bed trying to get dressed. He sighs and goes over grabbing Shouto's hero uniform and holding it out of reach.
"Sho you're sick…" He says worriedly as his boyfriend tries to snatch the uniform back and failing.
"I'm fine, gibe me my uniform." He replies trying to grab it again.
"No, you're going back to bed." Izuku says and locks the uniform in his cabinet of their closet. Shouto looks terrified.
"I don't get sick days! Gibe me my uniform!" He snaps panic coloring his voice.
"You get them starting now. I won't see you hurt because your father isn't able to treat you as a human being." Izuku says guarding the cabinet. "Babe you are literally swaying on your feet. You have a 103 degree fever so, no you're not going to work." Shouto glares at him looking upset.
"Gibe. Me. My. Uniform." He says coldly frost coating his right arm.
"Not gonna happen no matter how frosty you get." Izuku replies right before he's encased in ice spare the hand holding the keys to the cabinet. Shouto unlocks it and snatches his costume. He slowly thaws Izuku while he pulls it on leaving his boyfriend's feet frozen as he walks out the door. Izuku shatters the ice around his feet with a sigh knowing he needs to prepare for Shouto's eventual crash.
Shouto makes it to work on time only because he rushed and was careless."Izuku is oberreacting...I'm fine." He grumbles as he makes his way to his father's office. He and Endeavor leave for a mission shortly after he clocks in.
"Shouto to your left!" Candle Light shouts as they fight the villains trying to rob a armored transport. He goes to apprehend the villain when his vision goes fuzzy causing him to miss.
"Shouto catch the villain don't make a mess!" His father snaps welding a pipe around the already defeated villains but, his voice sounds like it's echoing from far away as his vision blurs worse.
"Shouto!" Candle Light shouts right as the young hero collapses right onto the villain he had been fighting.
"Gh-!" Shouto gasps sitting up only to groan and lay back down as his temples throb. His vision slowly clears revealing that he's at the flat.
"I tried to tell him…" He hears Izuku say quietly. "He refused to listen."
"He's stubborn and we all know it." Candle Light replies softly. "He's also never been sick like this until now." He hears his boyfriend sigh and thank her for bringing him back before the door opens and closes. Izuku walks back into the room.
"You sir are sick and you are going to let me nurse you back to health whether you want me to or not." Shouto looks away feeling thoroughly scolded. "Babe everyone gets sick it's okay." Izuku says seeing him looking ashamed. "You're only human." he kisses Shouto's forehead making him look away flustered. "You've never had the flu have you?" Izuku asks him and he shakes his head. "It sucks." He sums up. "At least if you have no one to dote on you and care for you."
"I'm sorry for not beliebing you.." Shouto says before coughing softly.
"It's okay I love you even when you are stubborn." Izuku says going to get another cool rag to bring his fever down. When he returns Shouto sneezes and looks up at him,
"I'm scared." He admits.
"Never fear, I've got you." Izuku says kissing his hot forehead again stroking his flushed cheeks after. Shouto smiles weakly nuzzling into his touch.
"Tank you." he says quietly wanting this man to be by his side caring for him forever. "Stay with me foreber?' He yawns as he starts to fall asleep again hearing Izuku's soft
"Always."
It takes 2 weeks for him to recover from the flu and Shouto knows he wouldn't have made it without Izuku there to care for him the entire time. His boyfriend held and cuddled him through the hard spots of his illness making sure his needs were met. He had never felt so loved in his entire life. As he rushes to get out the door for work he feels Izuku catch his arm. He looks over at his boyfriend and freezes. Izuku is on one knee in his suit holding out a ring.
"Can we make that forever you asked for 2 weeks ago official?" He asks his cheeks red. Shouto tackles him crying with joy. Needless to say they were both late for work but, seeing their happy expressions and the ring on Shouto's finger their superiors let it slide just this once.
