Sunlight filtered into the hospital room, but that was not what woke Izuku up. What woke him up was the feeling of something constantly poking his face. Letting out a soft groan, the green-haired boy begrudgingly opened his eyes, only to see a chibi version of Tsuyu staring directly at him. Although the girl before him had her hair tied into little pigtails instead of a giant bow.
"Hi! I'm Satsuki!" chirped the child with a smile.
Izuku had a blank look on his face before he glanced over at Tsuyu. He noticed that at some point during the night his arm wrapped around Tsuyu's shoulders and she was snuggled closer to him. With a blush, he started to gently shake her awake.
"T-Tsuyu? Y-You need to wake up."
With a soft groan of her own, Tsuyu's eyes opened as she took in the scene before her; a blushing Izuku with his arm around her shoulders and a smiling Satsuki sitting on the bed with them.
"Satsuki-chan, what are you doing here, gero?" asked Tsuyu as she grabbed her sister and pulled her onto her lap.
"Everybody is looking for you, Neechan! We came to visit and you weren't in your room," explained Satsuki. She then frowned. "Kaachan and Otouchan were very worried. So I came looking for you!"
"T-Tsuyu, maybe you should go back to your room now," said Izuku.
The two frog girls looked at Izuku, causing him to look away with a blush. Satsuki let out a giggle at seeing this.
"He's all red now!" giggled the little girl.
"And very warm, too, gero," added Tsuyu with a smile. Her smile widened as Izuku blushed even harder at her words.
"T-Tsuyu!"
It was at that moment that the door opened, gaining the three's attention. Izuku's eyes widened at seeing both his mother and All Might standing in the doorway, looking just as surprised as he was. Although, Inko's shock was short lived once seeing that Izuku was awake finally set in. Almost immediately, tears formed in her eyes.
"I-Izuku!" cried Inko as she made her way over to Izuku's side of the bed and brought him into her arms.
"K-Kaachan!" exclaimed Izuku, embarrassed that his mother was hugging him like this in front of one of his friends.
"Glad to see that you're awake, my boy," said Toshinori as he made his way over. He then glanced at Tsuyu and Satsuki. "Although I'm surprised that you already had some visitors."
"I actually came to visit last night because I was worried about Midoriya-kun, gero," explained Tsuyu, putting her finger on her chin. "He woke up last night and I stayed to make sure he was still awake in the morning, gero."
Toshinori nodded in understanding. "That explains why you are here, young Asui, although your parents are very worried that you weren't in your room. I should probably go inform them of where you are."
"Satsuki-chan, why don't you go with All Might to find Kaasan and Otousan, gero? I'm sure they'll be wondering where you wandered off to, gero," stated Tsuyu, looking at her little sister.
The younger frog girl pouted. "But Neechan, I want to stay with you and your prince!"
Tsuyu raised an eyebrow at Satsuki's words as Izuku blushed up a storm at being called a prince. Inko couldn't help the giggles that escaped her while Toshinori's couldn't keep the grin off his face.
"You can spend time with us later, gero," answered Tsuyu. "Right now, Kaasan and Otousan need to know where we both are, gero."
Satsuki pouted once more, but relented. Being placed on the floor, she grabbed Toshinori's hand and the two left the room to find the Asui parents. With them gone, Izuku and Tsuyu were now left alone with Inko.
"I'm so glad that you're alright, Izuku," stated the teary-eyed mother as she hugged her son once more.
"I-It's okay, K-Kaachan!" replied Izuku with a stutter.
Inko then let go of Izuku to wipe away her tears. She then turned to Tsuyu with a smile. "Arigatou, for looking after Izuku."
"You're welcome, Midoriya-san, gero," replied Tsuyu, returning the smile.
The door then opened once again, this time revealing the doctor, followed by Tsuyu's parents. Upon seeing his daughter in bed with a boy, Ganma did not look happy.
"Tsuyu…"
"Otousan," replied Tsuyu, unperturbed. "I know I should have stayed in my own room, but this was important, gero."
Beru let out a sigh. "Tsuyu, I know you were worried about Midoriya-kun, but you made us worried when we found your room empty."
"Gomen, Kaasan."
"I suppose it can't be helped now though," said Beru. She then gave Izuku a smile. "And you must be Midoriya-kun. Arigatou for protecting my daughter."
"Y-You're welcome, A-Asui-san," replied Izuku with a blush. The heat he was exuding caused Tsuyu to subconsciously draw herself closer to the boy, much to Ganma's ire.
The doctor then cleared his throat. "Sorry to interrupt, but I will need to check over Midoriya-kun, so if everyone could please leave for a moment?"
While she really didn't want to leave the coziness of the bed, Tsuyu had no choice but to get out from under the covers. She already felt colder. She then turned to look at Midoriya-kun. "I guess I'll see you later, gero?"
"H-Hai! S-Sure, T-Tsuyu," stuttered Izuku with a nervous smile.
The frog girl returned the smile before leaving the room with her parents and Inko.
-:-
Some time later, Tsuyu had changed her clothes and was now sitting in the lobby with some of her classmates as they waited for Izuku. Her parents were over on the other side of the room talking with Inko and Toshinori, giving her the opportunity to talk with her friends as they waited.
"I'm so glad that you and Deku are alright, Tsu!" said Ochaco, bringing her friend into a hug.
"Yeah! When we heard that you guys were in the hospital, you gave us all a scare!" exclaimed the pink-skinned, pink-haired girl that was Ashido Mina.
"Arigatou, Ochaco, Mina, gero."
"So what's up with your dad?" asked Mina. "He didn't look too happy."
Tsuyu explained last night's events that led up to this morning. When she was done, the others stared at her with wide eyes. Of course, Iida was the first to respond.
"How could you do something so inappropriate?!" demanded the speedster.
"Dude, they didn't even do anything," replied Mina.
"Mina's got a point. Do you honestly think Midoriya would have the guts to go that far?" questioned Jirou with a raised eyebrow.
"It is still inappropriate for two people to be sharing a bed, especially when they are not married," stated Iida as he crossed his arms.
Jirou rolled her eyes at Iida's no nonsense personality. She then turned back to Tsuyu. "So what are you going to do now?"
Tsuyu tilted her head slight with her finger on her chin. "I would actually like to spend more time with Midoriya-kun and get to know him better, gero."
"More so then you already do?" asked Mina with a sly grin.
"Ashido!" scolded Iida as he glared at the alien girl. He was ignored.
"Come on, Tsuyu! You've not only shared a bed with Midori, but you've practically seen each other naked," said Mina in a whisper.
Tsuyu wasn't bothered by Mina's comment. "Technically I didn't see anything since I was passed out. What I do remember is that Midoriya-kun is very warm, gero."
This sent Mina into a giggle fit while Jirou smirked at Tsuyu's description of the green-haired boy. Ochaco on the other hand really wished that they could change the subject.
"Did we miss something?" asked a voice. The 1-A students turned to see Shouto, Momo, and Kirishima. The three had gone off to find the vending machine to grab snacks for everyone and came back to see Mina giggling her head off.
"Nothing much," answered Jirou, her smirk still on her face. "Just that Tsu over here was talking about how warm Midoriya is."
"Which we should stop talking about!" exclaimed Iida as he waved his arms around robotically. Again, he was ignored.
"Stop talking about what?" asked the familiar voice of Izuku. The doctor had just finished examining him and gave him a clean bill of health, allowing him to leave.
"Izuku, my man!" exclaimed Kirishima, wrapping his arm around Izuku's shoulders in a friendly one-armed hug. "Glad to see you up and about! I knew that you wouldn't go down that easily."
Izuku let out a nervous laugh. "Arigatou, Kirishima."
Mina then made her way over to the green-haired boy. "So, Midori! Tsuyu tells us that you two shared a bed last night."
Izuku blushed brightly, while Kirishima, Momo, and Shouto all stared at Tsuyu in surprise. The frog girl merely let out a sigh as she stood and walked over to the red-faced Izuku.
"T-Tsuyu?! Wh-Why would you t-tell them that?!"
"Gero, I suppose that it was a mistake telling Mina."
"Hey!" chirped the pink girl with a pout.
"But I don't see why it would make you embarrassed, especially since you've already seen me in my bra and panties, gero."
The blush intensified to the point that the others standing near him could feel the heat coming off of him.
"Hey, Tsuyu's right! He really is warm!" stated Mina, looking at Izuku with wide eyes.
"Damn. You think it's a second Quirk or something?" questioned Kirishima. He then turned to Shouto with a grin. "Looks like you're not the only one in class with a heat-based Quirk."
"N-No! It's not a Quirk!" squeaked out Izuku. "I just have a strength enhancement Quirk."
"It is strange that you can create heat like this though," said Shouto as he walked over.
"Do you think you were supposed to have a heat-based Quirk instead, Midoriya?" asked Momo.
"W-Well, my father did have a Quirk that let him breath fire, but I didn't inherit it," explained Izuku. He really wished they would stop asking about his Quirk before he let slip One for All.
"Maybe not as an actual Quirk, but it does look like you inherited your father's fire, gero," replied Tsuyu as she reached over and grabbed Izuku's hand. At this rate, Izuku's blush was going to be permanent.
Mina couldn't help but giggle at the sight. 'So cute!'
Before Mina could call the green duo out, Toshinori and Inko made their way over.
"Midoriya, my boy! I see that the doctor's letting you go?" asked Toshinori with a grin.
"You bet! Now that I'm healed up, I can't wait to get back to my training!" replied Izuku, returning the grin.
Toshinori noticed how Inko flinched a little at Izuku's declaration. "Hate to break it to you, my boy, but I think it would best if you rest for another day or two. You did technically just come out of a coma."
"He is right, Midoriya-kun, gero," added Tsuyu, looking up at Izuku. "I know we all push ourselves to become better heroes, but even you need to take breaks every now and then, gero."
Izuku rubbed the back of his head. "I guess so."
Inko let out a sigh of relief. As much as she supported her son's dream, she hated seeing him hurt.
"Oi, now that Izuku's out of here, I say we head back to the dorms to celebrate!" exclaimed Kirishima.
"Yeah! What do you say, Midori?!" asked Mina, getting closer to the boy.
"D-Do we really have to?" questioned Izuku, uncomfortable with Mina invading his personal space.
"As long as we don't go overboard, I wouldn't mind, gero."
"See? Tsuyu wants to celebrate. Do it for the frog, Midori!"
Izuku didn't have a chance to answer as his friends soon dragged him out of the hospital, although Tsuyu stayed by his side to make sure Mina didn't hound him too much. With the teens gone, that left the adults to follow behind.
"Something wrong, Inko?" asked Toshinori, noticing Inko's shaking shoulders.
She looked up at him with teary, yet happy eyes. "I'm just so happy that Izuku has such kind friends."
"I could say the same for Tsuyu," said Beru with a smile, as she and her husband walked alongside Inko and Toshinori. Samidare and Satsuki had run up ahead to try and catch up with their sister and, as Satsuki put it, their sister's prince. "It's nice that she's making more friends."
Next to her, Ganma let out a grumbling croak. "And then we find her in a boy's bed. I don't like how close she was getting with him."
"Ganma," came the warning tone from Beru. "Midoriya-kun is clearly a nice boy and cares for Tsuyu. Leave him be."
Ganma let out another croak while Beru and Inko talked about their kids, happy that Izuku and Tsuyu seemed to be so close. Toshinori, after seeing and hearing everything, decided to have a talk with Izuku later on about his supposed relationship with Asui.
He had a feeling Izuku will need all the advice he could get.
CHAPTER END
-:-
This was definitely a fluff filled chapter and it looks like there will be more fluff to come given how it looks like Tsuyu is becoming addicted to Izuku's warmth. Although it looks like her father isn't too happy about it. Hopefully Izuku will be able to figure out what his relationship with Tsuyu really is very soon.
