After the talk with her friends, Ciana ended up taking a walk down the halls. She figured Yuuki was too furious to see her… so instead, she made her way to the roof of the building. Which is a good place to be alone anyways, Ciana sat at the edge of the fence as she stared out the view below her and feel the wind blow passed her hair, still looking conflicted about not only her power but other things.
"I didn't know what I said would make Yuuki that mad… some hero I turned out to be." She sighed, looking down as her fingers clutched the fence. "I feel like soon things won't be the same for me anymore… now I'm just becoming a wreck, Izuku deserves better than that… he and Uraraka are getting closer it seems if he had her number, I wonder if it's still even good of me to get in the way with that…"
Her fingers clutched the fence tighter, her heart clenching at the thought. "They… probably would be more happier together rather than him with me…" Cianas eyes shut tightly as she felt she was about to tear up again, she couldn't mention this to Izuku without causing more problems.
"I figured you'd be up here," Her head shot up, but lowered again in defeat. "It's more private than the halls that is,"
Izuku walked over to sit down next to her, crossing his legs to look out at Hosu. "Sorry I took so long, I had the others text to ask about my S.O.S; Kirishima, Ashido, Jiro, Kaminari, and a few others, I've... never had so many text at once before, it was a little jarring," He scratched his head, both overwhelmed and a little happy he had so many feel genuinely concerned.
Her gaze lifted up to eye Izuku who now came to see her, surprised to hear he had other friends messaging him. "Wow, he's more popular than I thought…" Ciana chuckled to herself at that, gazing out at the view. "At least you have more support better than I could give…" she smiled a little, but her smiled still looked sad.
Ciana blushed a bit by his comment, but also was confused why he considered himself annoying as she looked back at her hero with her eyes narrowed at this. "You? Annoying? If your talking about how you mutter then they just don't get how that habit just makes you smart compared to them, bet their just jealous." Ciana smiled a little, then her gaze goes to her lap. She had brought her notebook with her.
"I mean your intelligence is basically your superpower at the time, having the knowledge to study peoples quirks and other situations as well as strategies doesn't make you useless at all." Ciana still saw a lot in Izuku, she will never get how people thought she was weird hanging out with Izuku back in middle school, but they are just jerks.
"W-well, back then, what I found interesting or n-not didn't matter, I was quirkless to them, basically dirt," He shrugged, though there was less pain behind his gaze. "Now? I don't really care as much, because... you never saw me as anything pathetic, it took me so long to figure it out, but it was because you were just kind; others would've had motives, but you never did, it was... warm to feel that,"
"They are the real dirt piles to look down on you like that, just because Deku is your hero name now doesn't mean I'm going to call you that…" she eyed him a bit playfully, but then her gaze goes down to her notebook. Turning the pages to stop at the lyrics of one of her mothers songs she favorited. "I felt so warm whenever I'm around you too, but… I'm starting not to be the same girl you knew anymore…" she frowned, staring at the words of the song that usually cheers her up. Ciana still couldn't sing it knowing what happens if she does.
Izuku stared at the lyrics for a moment, thoughts milling around in his head, then he made a questioning hum as he inspected Ciana. "Still the same dark brownish-black hair, same rich green eyes, yep; oh, there's your hairpin too, the way you talk and laugh, or make this scrunched up face when you're sad or annoyed," He nodded to himself. "Pretty sure even if some of that changes, I'll still see you for you,"
Ciana blushed a bit more pink how Izuku eyed her and complimented her, now feeling flustered as her hand went to her cheek as she scratched it shyly. "I-I look fine now… b-but who knows how long that will last." Ciana frowned again, her sad gaze looking down. "I'm kinda surprised you still believe I'm me after how I threatened the hero killer before… weren't you scared seeing how more beastly I became?" She lifted her gaze back up a little to eye him confusingly.
"Ciana, I'm surprised you still put up with me with how reckless I am... but to answer, I don't know how to describe it. When Meru Zena released his aura, I felt like a weight was crushing me, his harsh light digging into my skin like hooks. But yours? It was fierce, the heat radiating like a bonfire, but it felt soothing despite that," He paused to think back on it. "When you threatened him I was a little worried you'd attack him without a plan, but the instant all the chaos was over, you instantly ran to my aid, you completely lost that harsh aura, you were angry, anyone could see that, but in a flash it was gone like any other emotion on your face. So I wasn't afraid, not in the slightest,"
Ciana was speechless how he responded to that, she still didn't understand what he meant completely but even Izuku can find a positive light around her beastly side, but Ciana was still concerned if she's dangerous… especially if she will one day hurt Izuku. "I mean I hurt Yuuki when I panicked… it just seems like I'm becoming a threat to society… I never was supposed to be born with a quirk, what if I can't even handle it as well as I thought?"
"We'll find a way, I promise," Izuku sat with his legs wide, pulling Ciana between them so her back lay against his chest while he held his arms around her securely. "Even if it takes a really long time, I'll help you every step of the way - oh, uh, mind if I look at your notebook, just for a second?"
Ciana was very surprised how he change their positions to make them more closer together… the position had her heart race at the action and blush a little more red, his hold is still so warm… Ciana was kinda surprised herself how Izuku can put up with her when she's becoming a nuisance, though her eyes blinked in more surprise at his request. Hoping he is not trying to sneak a peak at her premonitions. "Oh, uh… sure." She lifted her hand that had her book to hand it to Izuku. "W-what do you want to see it for exactly?"
"Just the page you're on..." He replied, eyeing the detailed lyrical sheet. Thankfully, it told him how to phrase the words, and while his interpretation may be a little off, he got the gist of how the song was constructed. The words and their meaning were something Ciana's mother took great care in writing. "Okay, here," Handing it back to her, he blushed a bit himself, but stifled his nerves as he held her tightly. He had seen this before, so with a breath, he spoke again.
You're not alone
There's no doubt
Your gift
Isn't futile to be
If we'll be united
We're stronger together
We always have the high hope
Not all for one but one for all
Cianas eyes went wide hearing Izuku repeating her moms words from her favorite song, Ciana didn't think he was much of a singer… but hearing the way he sang it brought a giggle out of her mouth, it was so cute and sweet how Izuku is trying to cheer her up being the one to repeat then this time. Her gaze looking up to see his face as she smiled. "I never thought you would take interest in singing… your version is sweet…"
He coughed into his hand, still red in the face. "W-well, until you can sing it again, I guess I can take up that department, i-if you don't mind my inexperience in singing,"
Ciana giggled more at this, he is not only cute but so thoughtful as usual as she smiled warmly now. Reaching her face up closer to peck his cheek. "Ether way it was sweet of you to do for me, are you a karaoke guy by any chance?" She asked as her back leaned against his chest more. Ciana noticed that they had popular karaoke places that seemed popular in Japan, wondering if he ever went to one.
"Judging how Jiro is also a music lover… I can see her going to places like that, I actually found out about them from her, I didn't know that's a big thing here in Japan." Ciana was surprised they have a place where they sing songs with friends for fun, that's something she would of love to do if they had them back home. "I have to admit… your country is so much more fun compared to home." She giggles.
"I'm sure the US in your world, or here, has stuff you couldn't find in Japan, just makes visiting that much more exciting," Izuku replied, resting his head atop hers in content.
She smiled warmly at the gesture, Ciana guessed Izuku missed her just as much as she did. "It sure became a lot of fun when you shown me the sights around here, I mean your arcades are huge and I don't think I ever seen as many claw machines in one place." She responds playfully, giggling a little more.
Now her thoughts drift at the moment back to when Izuku called her and their friends up, Ciana was kinda surprised Izuku would signal her for help when he's usually afraid of her getting hurt, especially from a hero killer… but that's not what she's concerned about, Ciana was curious why he didn't signal Bakugo too. "Hey Izuku… when you signaled both me, Shoto and Yuuki for help… why didn't you call up Bakugo too?"
Ciana knew Bakugo hated Izuku… but he's pretty strong to handle people like him to help, unless he would be too careless about facing him…
"Oh? Well, I mentioned I had several text me?" He felt her head nod forward. "See, I just sent an S.O.S with my location, so anyone in my contacts would've received it... uh, m-my Mom was worried, but since I got away pretty unscathed she relaxed. But, well, Kacchan's not in my list of contacts, so..."
"Right… he's not fond of you…" she sweat-dropped, now feeling kinda awkward. Ciana actually was meaning to ask for Bakugos contact but wasn't sure if he would agree to the idea. "He might be furious if he found out you faced the hero killer and he didn't, I wonder how he's doing on his internship?"
"Probably hating it," Izuku hazard a guess. "Kacchan probably chose Best Jeanist due to his status, but he's a perfectionist, and the second he saw Kacchan he more than likely wanted to 'mould him' into a proper looking hero, suffice to say, I don't think Kacchan's happy, erm, well, less likely to be thrilled," Izuku couldn't withhold a small, humorously smile at how furious Katsuki probably was right now.
She certainly wasn't expecting to hear that… Ciana had to cover her mouth to avoid the amount of laughs that are dying to come out. "H-he sounds like one of those strict fashion designers, f-funny hearing that for a guy covered in jeans…" She giggled more, feeling pretty bad for Bakugo. "B-but hopefully he learns something out of his lessons."
"Only time will tell - unfortunately, I think all he'll learn is how to be angrier," Izuku chuckled a bit before falling into a comfortable silence with Ciana close, listening to all the ambient noises while feeling at ease.
"I wish I could call and ask… figured he want someone to complain to at least to make him feel more better." Ciana knew the guy would blow up knowing he likes to rant, but as his friend she felt she wanted to be there for him too. "That reminds me… Izuku, are you by any chance uncomfortable with the idea of me being friends with Bakugo?" She now asks him in concern of that, noticing whenever she brought up how her and him are getting along, Izuku would seem bothered by the idea.
Ciana was worried if Izuku resented her secretly since they are becoming close and they aren't anymore.
That made his arms tense a bit, "No... yes? I-it's really hard to formulate. I'm okay with you being friends, or whatever he calls it, he respects you and Kirishima above all others, more so than his old 'friends' from middle school, but... I dunno, the fact that he's made friends with others or people being genuinely friendly with him makes me wonder what even was our friendship years ago? If it even was one to begin with..." His stare was straight ahead, trying to figure it out to no avail. "I don't hate you or Kirishima for being his friends, I just feel really confused..."
That made his arms tense a bit, "No... yes? I-it's really hard to formulate.

His stare was straight ahead, trying to figure it out to no avail. "I don't hate you or Kirishima for being his friends, I just feel really confused..."
Ciana frowned at this, she had a feeling Izuku might have resented her a little for able to become close to him. "When Bakugo, Kirishima and I fought together when those villains shown up, I could tell Kirishima understood him well. Especially how he pointed out he believes in all of us handling ourselves when he wasn't worried about them. We both see the good in him just like you do, remember how I always advised you to stick up for yourself against Bakugo?"
Her gaze looks up to see his face. "We don't show any fear to him when we're around him, maybe he respects that. I mean when I first stood up to Bakugo, no matter how bad he wanted to put me in my place he didn't once fire at me back then… Izuku, I think what you just need to continue doing is standing your ground around him."
His eyes showed clear signs of trauma, only a little but it was there, still, he managed a comforting smile. "I'll... try my best, like you, maybe one day I can figure out why things just... fell apart," Leaning down slightly, he pecked her lips. "Thanks for that,"
Her heart raced at the motive, smiling at her hero for encouragement but also love behind her eyes. "You did good when you did that during the battle test against him, that's a start. I'm sorry you went through that experience when you were young… I admit, sometimes I wished I was there then to offer my hand like you did me. I'm sure that guy is going through a lot himself… could be other reason why he treated you so harshly, which is why I been chasing after him too because I want to help you both mend your relationship."
Her head now leans against his chest, closing her eyes while enjoying her hero's warmth. "But I'm sorry if I made you feel worse… I-I hope you weren't ever mad at me for befriending Katsuki…"
"Not mad at all," He answered truthfully, wrapping his arms around her stomach. "Honestly, the fact anyone can have a stable friendship of any kind with him is astounding to me, he yelled even at his friends, and I mean in a toxic way, yet, when he yells now it's far less threatening, I guess that first Battle Training did help."
"I still have hope for the both of you, it still might take a while but I'm sure you both will find a way to come to better terms with each other, just promise me it won't involve you both almost killing each other again next time…" She is very firm about that as her gaze looks up to him to show how serious she is… since that day, Ciana was terrified Izuku was going to die. If they had to fight it out she hoped it would be more in a way without their quirks.
Speaking of quirks… Now looking down at her hands, Ciana knows she's driving herself to fear what her quirk is doing to her. Everyone might see her as being ridiculous but sometimes she feels they don't understand she lived in a quirkless world and never imagined herself warping into an appearance they would be used to. Ciana sighed at this, really wishing she could have just stuck to glowing.
But it's clear she can't stop herself from changing, she is still scared but when her friends are around her especially Izuku… she would feel safe, Ciana stared down at her notebook again of her mom's words in her song. 'Don't worry about a thing, we'll reach out to you.' Eying those words, Ciana glanced back up to Izuku again, knowing he would always be there for her… Ciana was hesitant, but she went to take his hand in hers. Hoping she won't regret this.
"Izuku… do you think you can help me overcome my quirk again like last time you tried?" Ciana now suddenly asks this of him… knowing she freaked out the first time she noticed her change, but maybe she just needs to keep trying to overcome her look…
This new query from the brunette made Izuku gasp a bit, looking at her from an angle. "Are... are you sure? I-I mean, sure, of course! But... I thought you'd want more time to come to terms with it?" He'd want to avoid her panicking again if possible, but if she was willing to do this herself, it was a great chance to start.
She gulped, knowing this is terrifying for her. But the girl nods slowly. "I-I was thinking… m-maybe we can go little at a time for me to get used to my form… s-since your with me, I-I can manage to keep it together a little…" his presence always helped her overcome things, so maybe this would help.
Staring at her for a moment longer, Izuku knew this had to be difficult for her, even to simply try must've put alot of stress on her mind. Ultimately, he relaxed a small grin, nodding. "Then I'll help you; pretty sure I said before I would," Clearing his throat, his eyes squinted slight, concentrating. "We know you can shift back to normal, given how much energy you expelled last night, you probably won't reach that margin again, so at the very least, we'll see small changes which is a good place to start... if you're ready that is? O-or were you referring to when we're back at UA?"
Ciana took a moment to think as her gaze goes back to the edge, Izuku will be going back with the old pro soon. So… maybe starting off now will be good before continuing back at UA. "We… can start now, and then again when we return to UA."
She goes to stand up now, fiddling with her hands nervously. But knew she can't always avoid this. "J-just be ready to do something if I start to lose it again…"
"I... can think of a few things, so I'm ready when you are," Izuku replied, standing up before limping closer to cup her hands with his. "Like we've practices, let aura flow through your whole body like I do with Full Cowling, then gradually raise that percentage, but you probably knew that, heh," He smiled playfully to help her mood.
That did at least help a bit, smiling and giggling at his cuteness before nodding again with a nervous smile. "Got it…" squeezing his hands, Ciana closed her eyes as she focuses on activating her power, now beginning to glow as she felt the wind surrounding her as she gives off the glow….
Unlike last night, her aura didn't burst to life in an intense wave of pressure, instead, the warmth felt gradual, like a hug, the warmth spreading from her to Izuku as he felt her hands tense up. "You're doing well, keep breathing," He reassured her, seeing her flickering edges smoothen out again with the occasional ripple. The aura became flicker around her forearms, the faint outlines of scales beginning to form their golden frame. "You aura's starting to form scales on your forearms. Any strain yet?"
Just hearing that she was forming scales already had her start to shake up, Ciana squeezed his hands more as she tried to keep it together. "I… I-I…" opening her eyes slights… Ciana gasped when she saw her scales, lowering her head as she tried to hold in her fear.
"I-it feels so weird!" Already the girl was having a hard time, closing her eyes again to avoid the sight.
Izuku didn't startle her, instead, he kept a firm grip on her arms. "Okay, hold the state as it is; feel the grip my hands have? Copy that but for your whole body, imagine a keep the dial on a thermostat at the temperature you want, you're doing really well," Encouraging her was the best thing to do. Her scales had formed but only along her forearms, but their form was wavering between a solid and astral state.
Ciana still trembled as she tried to listen to her hero's words, she took a few deep breaths. Her eyes shutting more tightly, now leaning her head against Izukus chest while trying to concentrate. Ciana felt her fangs coming in her mouth which didn't help. "I-Izuku… I-I feel myself changing more…" she hates it, Ciana kept repeating the words don't lose control in her head. It's becoming hard to stay in control of her fear…
He had one last idea, if not, then he'd pull her out of this, "I know... you hate it, I can't blame you for feeling afraid of this, there's not a single person who could truly understand how you feel, my world and yours live by completely different rules," He squeezed her hands, gazing from her arms to her face. "But I know that every inch of effort you put forward; to learning about this culture, the people around you, this power that was never meant to be yours, I know that your mom would be proud of you for confronting every obstacle since the start, if anyone in our worlds is proud of you, more than me, then it would be her, because you're still trying to fight your fear,"
Ciana opened her eyes slowly to eye Izuku as he tells her all this, Izukus comforting words made her feel warmer as her quirk. He knew just what to say… especially the way he shows his love and care towards her, Ciana teared up a bit but slowly her smile rose back. She actually forgotten about her scary form at the moment as she immediately dove to hug him with her arms tightly around Izuku's body.
"Ah, I-I guess that works too," He smiled light-heartedly, embracing her as well. Now, her aura was completely stable, and he already felt the passive effects soothing his injuries. "Feeling better?" Came his reply as he rubbed her back in slow circles.
"A little…" she replied in a low voice, hugging him more closely. Hopefully her claws don't dig into his skin to hurt. "B-be honest… h-how bad do I look…?" Ciana now asks with her expression becoming fearful again, thinking she looked like a hideous beast right now… if she looks at herself right now she's sure she freak again.
"Well, if I said you were beautiful regardless I'd be biased... but only your forearms gained scale patches, and your canines grew slightly, other than that, you've actually gotten control over this level entirely," Izuku marvelled, pulling back so that she could see her arms. "I know you don't like it, but this one test alone just shows you can control yourself, just time and patience is all," Spoken with a comforting, innocent smile.
Ciana could see her arms and nails, seeing her change again didn't help… Ciana had to avert her gaze, she couldn't understand how a sight like that made her look beautiful. "I-I'm clearly not human anymore… there's no way I can return home looking like this…" she frowned very sadly at this, afraid how bad her change will make her look further.
He too didn't look happy by this, deflating a bit. "...I'm sorry, I wish there was a way... I really do; the important fact is, you can control this, or a portion at a time, and that the effects aren't permanent, but... I know that isn't what you want," This isn't something he could fix, but it still bothered him to no end. His right hand moved to run along her arm, feeling the bumps from the scales, smooth but sturdy, down to her nails that were sharp to a point, but only if pressure was applied.
Ciana didn't expect he would feel around her arms, the gesture had her blush but smiled a little at the gentle feeling. Her eyes narrowed but then closed to think about her hero's presence and not her terrifying look, though maybe that's not good to do in dragon mode… Ciana leaned her head against Izukus chest again, smiling a bit more being close again with him…
"...still, I think this was a great test run, while you don't need to hear me say it, just like before, imagine turning the dial down to zero, or just supressing your quirk, simple enough," His hand rested atop her head, enjoying the tender moment despite the horrible revelation Ciana had in her head. Izuku would have a lot to work on if he was to help her accept this power, even just enough to see her father again, but that was a bridge for another day.
"Hmm…" Ciana was barley listening now, she just nuzzled herself against his chest. Feeling even warmer and happier just being like this, her hands reached up to grip his shoulders. Her gaze looking up slightly to reveal her animal shape again, now reaching one of her other hands up to stroke her hero's cheek as she eyed him…
Ah, Izuku had a feeling this could happen. Looking around, they were still alone, which was a relief. Keeping calm and rational, not wanting to cause the same mistake twice, he held her shoulders gently. "You starting to feel weird again?" He didn't look mad or afraid, just giving an understanding expression.
Her gaze blinked a few times at his question, like she didn't understand what he meant… but Ciana just smiled again as her face began to lean closer to his as her eyes beastly eyes narrowed, the girl might be out of it at the moment… seems all she can think about is wanting him…
[‼️] Izuku sighed, shaking his head with a tiny grin, and a blush staining his cheeks. "What am I going to do with you..." No harm in a little alone time, still have a whole week apart to deal with. At least, that's his excuse as he captured her lips in a gentle kiss.
She seemed very pleased at the contact, since she is in dragon mode the kiss became very warm. Cianas eyes closed as soon as their lips touched, her arms now going behind his neck. Her heart racing happily, Ciana missed Izuku a lot and didn't want to be apart from him again.
Izuku moved his arms to wrap around her waist, pulling her in closer to hold their kiss a little longer, after everything with Iida, Stain, and Ciana, he wasn't complaining about giving her some affection since he couldn't leave to return to his internship yet, nor Ciana. Holding tightly, he felt his tongue prod into her mouth, grazing past her canines as they made out behind the small rooftop entrance out of view of anyone else who decided to come up here.
Ciana hummed happily as they kept their kiss going, her hand went behind his neck as she pulled him down to deepen it more and her other hand on his shoulder to keep steady. Wanting to love and cherish her hero as much as possible, when they had to pull away slightly to breath. Ciana stared back into Izuku's eyes lovingly for a moment before she suddenly moved to nip at his neck now…
"Hah..." He sighed in a low tone, feeling her lips pepper his skin as she easily pulled his collar down to tease his skin more. With her focused on showing her affection, Izuku held her arms, running his hands over her scales, feeling silky skin and smooth scale transition nicely between his fingers.
The motive just had Ciana purr at the soothing feeling… her hands gripped his shoulder more as her lips trailed more up Izukus neck, Ciana pressed herself against him closer as she nipped his neck further. Purring more as she did. "Izuku…" Ciana whispered out his name lovingly near his ear.
"You're really cute when you do that," He murmured back to her, leaning down himself to kiss her neck also, mindful not to let things go too far, but her new mannerisms were alluring. "My turn..." Came his throaty reply as his teeth nipped at her own skin, her back pressed to the wall.
Ciana didn't even realized what she was doing as her heart and mind were more towards her lover, Ciana moaned at the alluring feeling her lover was doing. Her eyes closed and her head leaned back against the wall as she let him proceed further, purring even more as her cheeks became very pink.
The noises Ciana made kept Izuku from leaving her neck, biting around that sweet spot though he raised his head to bring their lips together again, savouring the sensation. Her instincts were active, that was a given he was analysing as they shared this time together. Her quirk no longer seemed to affect his ability for rational thought, or it just wasn't as strong this time. The purring was certainly strange, but he wasn't complaining as their lips danced in a gentle rhythm.
Ciana eagerly returned the kiss as their lips once again danced in sync together, her lover is pleasing her in all the right ways. Her heart felt even hotter the longer they continued, she was happy but she wanted more… Ciana couldn't stand the idea of them being apart again soon. Her hands raised but this time went under his shirt… her fingers slid up his back and sides as she pulled him closer.
Exhaling out his nose at her lithe fingers grazing his skin, not to mention the ticklish feeling of her nails crawling up his back, Izuku smiled before daringly returning the favor, while he couldn't do much with her wearing a hospital gown dress, he still pressed his hands against her chest, squeezing back as their lips parted with an audible smack and gasp between them.
Ciana hummed and moaned out feeling the way he repeated the action, her beastly eyes staring at his own eyes up at him lovingly and longing towards him… her smile rose as the dragon girl leaned down further to the ground to pull Izuku with her on top of the girl now… her fingers continue to graze his skin as her eyes lit up and sparkle in need of her lover.
Pulling back, Izuku knew they had to stop less they both went too far, and in the open, as well as to avoid Ciana feeling it was her fault for this state of hers. "I'm sorry in advance, but..." He drew his right hand up to her forehead, a small jolt of One For All in his fingers before he flicked his index and middle fingers to smack Ciana directly, sending a static shock that was just powerful enough to startle her as she whined from the sharp flick. "My new move, just for you, Washington Smash," His lips curled up in a small snicker as Ciana rubbed her forehead, a few strands of her hair standing up from the electrical shock.
The strike caused aura to dispel, thankfully, her scales and canines returning to normal again as she hissed from the red welt forming on her head.
"Ow!" Ciana was confused and in a bit of pain as she rubbed her forehead. "W-what did you do that for?!" She asked kinda frustratingly, opening her eyes as she blinked a few times to adjust her vision. Noticing she's in a intimate position with Izuku… strangely she can barely recall what was going on, now staring up at hero hero with redness showing on her cheeks. "And… w-what were we just doing…?"
Izuku gulped, trying his best not to laugh from how she reacted. "W-well, ahem, I think it's safe to say we're hopeless around each other, but to go into d-detail, we just made out a bit, nothing much else, h-hence why I'm currently sitting like t-this, hehehe..." Sweatdropping, he added. "And that was my method to h-help you snap back t-to reality as you w-wanted, sorry..." But his odd snort made that hard to believe. "A-and sorry, t-the face you made w-was a little funny,"
Ciana blushed more redder hearing what happened, but also kinda annoyed he's laughing at her… though she was surprised he was laughing, Ciana rarely ever hears Izuku laugh. Ciana blinked a couple of times before glaring at him a little from below. "So you think it's funny and not very relieving I'm back to myself? Was making out with my dragon side just made myself more alluring to you again? I'm a joke now?!" Ciana was actually starting to get a bit mad again…
He quickly stopped, clearing his throat. "Ah, s-sorry, didn't mean it like that, really," Izuku eased, sitting now in front of her so she could sit upright herself to shoot him an irked glare. "That method was one I came up with in the event you ever did need me to help snap you back to normal, while I'd rather avoid hurting you, it seemed to work, as... I know if and when we do go the whole way... I know you'd want to do so of your own choosing, not because these instincts wanted you to," He spoke a much softer, holding her right hand gingerly. "That was just my horrible attempt to keep the mood light, It wasn't meant to mock you,"
"You can return the favour, if you want?" He pointed to his face.
Ciana raised her brow after listening to all he said, blushing but sighing as she was silent at the moment. Averting her gaze but doesn't move her hand away. "I know… I am grateful you snapped me out of it, I just hoped you still don't prefer my other side…" her gaze became kinda sad, but doesn't take what he did very personal.
"Well one, if we ever did go the whole way I rather it not be in a public place even on a roof… and two, I rather if you just more like me for me still…" Ciana wondered how if he actually is more attracted by her other side without realizing it, it just seems to still excite him…
"Well, you're certainly more breath taking to think about, your quirk's just... how to put it... meh?" His shrug was followed by him pecking her cheek as their matching eyes met. "I'll always prefer you any day, your quirk can't compare, it's what makes me do the things we do... a-and maybe more, so-someday," His face was a little redder at the mere idea, he had already seen her exposed, the memory still made his heart pound. Another day, hopefully.
Ciana blushed even more red at this, she actually didn't think he want to do it when they are still high schoolers, unless he meant after they graduated. Her gaze looks down in a shy manner, not even sure goes to respond to that. "I… wasn't sure if you ever considered that, especially in case you rather not continue our relationship in fear of me and what I could do…" Ciana does love Izuku, more than she could love anyone. But she had some concerns still if she wasn't meant to be with Izuku due to her quirk and scarring him…
"I understand that, regardless of the risks, I don't want this to end, the fact I can even call you my girlfriend is... amazing, more than I could ever hope for," He had control over One For All because of her, he had more confidence, he even started to speak more on his trauma, all because she fell into his world. Raising her hand, he pressing his forehead to it, closing his eyes briefly. "I'll do everything I can to preserve this, just so I can still be with you,"
Her gaze lifts up toward him and her eyes widened a little, her heart just picked up hearing what her hero said. Ciana couldn't understand how he's willing to deal with her, she smiled sadly but not completely. "You deserve so much better than me Izuku… I don't want to cause you any problems in your life, remember you… would have still been happy without me…" Her eyes closed as her sad smile stayed, Ciana really wanted him to be happy.
"Maybe you're right... what you said about me and Uraraka," His reply made her gaze lower but his hand caught her chin to lift it. "But, do I look upset I'm with you? If I only ever saw you as a friend, would I ever do the things we do alone together with you? This reality's been altered, or maybe it was meant to happen, I'll say it millions of times, but nothing's set in stone, and I'm glad it's not, because I got to be really happy regardless," He closed his eyes with a toothy smile. He was still banged up from their battle with Stain, but he was smiling triumphantly like a hero.
Ciana could see that from his wounds, Ciana can understand what he's saying… but she loved him enough to make sacrifices for him… but at least could tell how set he is to remain with her and only her… always when Izuku repeated that it touched her greatly, Cianas smile rose back as her hand went to his cheek as her face leaned closer enough to stop at a few inches from his face. "No matter who or what you choose… I'll always see you as the one who made my life so much brighter…" and after saying that, Ciana immediately pressed her lips against his, a happy tear falling as she did.
Ciana was not only kissing him to show her own love toward him, but to heal his wounds and stamina she always takes top priority over herself…
He closed his eyes, falling into the sweet kiss as an old sensation of warmth followed by a rush of energy swept through his body. When their lips parted quietly, his leg no longer felt tense, and holding up his bandaged arm, he squeezed tightly to feel no such pain follow. "You healed me... I..." Resting a small smile, he stared back into those deep green eyes he found far more alluring than her golden ones. "I love you, more than I could ever put into words,"
Ciana smiled lovingly towards her hero, but after what she did she began to look weak and dizzy. "I… l-I…" Ciana couldn't even finish what she wanted to say before she trembled and then fell forward against Izuku's chest. The healing process might have made Ciana lose most of her stamina, but deep wounds that Izuku had when it came to being stabbed before… Ciana looked more different than just looking weak, she actually began to look pale quickly and sickly… even a fever was coming over her as she laid in his chest as she groaned and panted…
The reaction she had made Izuku genuinely worry as he held her tightly. "Ciana? Hey, what happened!?" Looking at her face and how shallow her breathing was... did she overuse her quirk? "Oh, Ciana... okay, hold on," With his new stability in his leg, Izuku picked her up in his arms, keeping her secure before he ran for the stairwell back into the hospital.
Despite hearing his voice, everything sounded muffled, like she had her hands over her ears. And her mind felt like it was drifting further into sleep, her energy was sapped entirely as she accepted falling unconscious as a blessing.
