It had been a long night after the loving duo's… interesting break from the whole crazy and scary ordeal, Ciana who is laying on her back snug in her bed, Ciana groaned as her eyes began to slowly open. Blinking her eyes, she sat up slightly and held her head from the sudden incoming headache. "Ugh… w-what happened last night? Did I fall asleep in the tub…?" Seeing that she was in her bed. Ciana guessed Izuku must have placed her there. Ciana groaned again when she felt her head ached again as she tried to rub it to ease it.
But that wasn't the only thing that ached… her lower half was very sore too and just shifting her position caused her to whimper. "Ah! W-why am I so sore!?" Ciana laid back to ease herself, just coming out of her sleepy haze and hasn't realized just yet what went on before…
The memories of what happened were still fuzzy, Paying attention to her body, Ciana noticed she wasn't alone in bed. Looking down, Izuku was snoring softly next to her, his hand locked with her right, shirtless too. That's when she glanced down to see the covers had fallen to reveal her own shirtless form, she was still completely nude.
Blinking to process how Izuku looked and glancing down at herself… taking time to recall what went on in the tub. "…" Ciana's face went instantly red and was taken back with disbelief, Ciana shot up with a squeal in shock of what she had realized what went on with Izuku.
"Hrm...?" Her squeal forced Izuku to stir, cracking his eyes open slightly. "Ciana?" He asked, closing his eyes again to rub them.
Staring at her lover beside her to see he was waking up, Ciana felt the steam shooting out of her head as she pulled the covers up quickly to cover her chest. "I-Izuku! W-wha… d-did I-I really-!?" That really just happened? Did her dragon persona allure him to do this like what it did to the other Izuku…? Ciana couldn't form her words right just seeing first hand of the situation they ended up in.
Opening his eyes fully, he yawned a little to look at her, sitting up a bit with a tilt of his head. "What do... uh..." Then it clicked finally, and his own face burst out in a scarlet blush. "I... oh God, I t-think we d-did..." The scene replayed in his head, causing his heart to pound with both excitement and fright at how Ciana would react. "...A-are you okay? Do you h-hurt anywhere?" Rubbing his head, he covered his mouth a bit. "S-sorry, I guess I... w-we got carried away, d-didn't we?"
She was speechless, keeping her chest covered and wasn't sure if her face can become any redder. They did it… it really happened, and her dragon side did this to him. "I… I-I'm so sorry!" Now covering her face, Ciana couldn't even focus on his question as she felt ashamed of herself. "I… I-I made you… I-I'm sorry!" She didn't know what else to say but just keep on apologizing, she manipulated his mind into pleasing her… this was not only humiliating for her but had complete shame come over herself.
Izuku removed his hand, scooting closer to press his hand to the top of her head gingerly. "This wasn't j-just you, I... knew what I was d-doing, after I dried you and put you to bed, I couldn't s-shake the feeling you'd hate me f-for acting on my own feelings; I-I'm sorry, that wasn't fair to you, don't blame yourself for this," It was clear he could've stopped them at any time, but chose not to because... he felt she wanted this too, or maybe that was always just her quirk's affect on her mind.
"Huh?" Peeking her eyes through her fingers, she blinked in surprise and confused from his words. "Y-you…?" Still very red in the face, Ciana uncovered her face halfway. "So… you knew what was happening? But… y-you saw my eyes glow again, h-how do you know it wasn't it's pheromone that made you act that way?"
"Well-" Lowering his hand, he hung his head a bit., she was probably going to furious with him now, so be it. "-the times Aura affected me was when we first started b-becoming more intimate, t-then twice, the first when you came to realize Aura was having such an a-affect on us, and this time, I felt... fine; I think while your quirk manifested, y-you were still in control of Aura's radius, t-that's what I think, you might not remember afterward, but I c-can say with certainty both of times Aura had no influence over me... that still doesn't excuse me, I should've..." Biting his cheek, Izuku tried not to make a sound, she had every right to be angry at him.
Ciana wasn't sure what to say, after hearing all this… Ciana stared at him for a minute to process everything Izuku said. Eventually… Ciana averted her gaze sadly but it wasn't because of what Izuku did, in a way it's understandable why he would get carried away. But she felt it wasn't exactly her that she got to do that with him but another side that did.
Ciana hugged herself and rubbed her arms, if they had to do it one of these days then she had wished she was in her right mind to know what was happening. "Izuku… I-I don't think it was really me you did that with…" Now her tone sounded more sad than angry suprisingly.
Not hearing her yell and berate him drew his head up, "What?" For a second, he felt ice run down his whole body at that answer. "What... do you mean?"
Now looking down at her lap, her expression looked both afraid and in sorrow. "I… I-I can hardly remember… anything that went on between us, I didn't act like myself the way I wanted to express my own feelings for you…" Tucking her hair piece behind her ear, Ciana felt out of place. "That side… was the one who did all that stuff with you… not really me…" Ciana turned her gaze away, faintly hot in her cheeks still by their position. The way she wanted to expressed her love Ciana hoped they would have waited despite by the intense instincts that took over her to do those stuff early… but she hated her other persona for making her feel like Izuku did it with her quirk instead.
Then that feeling passed. "Your quirk's... no, that... makes sense," He nodded a little, eyes squinted in thought. "Some quirks, albeit rare, can gain sentience, like with Tokoyami's Dark Shadow, but yours is like a manifestation of your instincts, that would explain the shift in personality maybe... though, that's still a part of you," Izuku resolved, seeing where she was coming from now. "If the memory of what w-we did were blocked, it could be you've bonded with your quirk mentally now, s-so really, I wouldn't say I did t-that with someone else, you were still there, I'm certain of it,"
Reaching over to rest his hand on her own now, he squeezed tightly. "I'm not upset, now a-a lot about you finally clicks, maybe now w-when... i-if we ever d-did this again... it'll just be you, n-none of your quirk will manifest; I'm sorry you feel that way, and... I'm sorry I-I guess for spoiling the mood between us," It wasn't fair on her to have to feel her first time was robbed from her, at least she remembers it.
Looking back up to her partner, her expression still had some sadness but otherwise she wasn't angry with him. Ciana reacted by leaning her face against his chest to hide her disappointment. "You didn't… I… I-I just wish it was really me to take that step with you when I want to and not from another side making me…" So much was happening and still scared and even confused her, Ciana doesn't even know who she is anymore which is what concerned her the most.
Wrapping his arms around her bare form tightly, he placed his face to her shoulder. "I'll be okay... I promise, you're changing but... you'll still be Ciana, I'll make sure of it, the same girl I can't imagine being without anymore," That made his lips curl upward. "Next time... it will j-just be us, not an aspect of your quirk," His hand rubbed her back in slow circles to help ease her worries.
"It's hard to believe I'm still myself… Ciana responded as she laid in his warm embrace, closing her eyes to try and ease herself. "I feel like I'm sharing my mind with another person… I-I don't want to lose myself…" Ciana trembled at the thought, almost reverting back to how she first rejected her appearance.
"You won't, I don't believe this manifestation is sinister either, if it's a part of you, could you feel it's aura too? What did it feel?" Izuku asked, stroking her back tenderly.
"Warm and hot…" Ciana shrugged, glancing up at Izuku slightly. "Almost the same how I always felt when using it… only that's it's unnatural and very different compared to my real human self…"
"Then it's definitely your inner dragon self, if you ever feel that way again, maybe you can... work something out? I'm not really sure how best to approach this, I've never heard of a quirk acting this way," Still holding her close, he turned his head a little to peck her cheek. "If I know you, you'll figure this out with a determined front to boot, I know it's scary and unnatural, but I'll advise you in any way I can to help,"
"You know, you had mentioned you have voices in your head ever since you inherit your Quirk…" Ciana playfully raised her brow towards him a bit recalling what Izuku said about hearing voices of the previews One For All users. "I can't talk to mine, we're hardly the same."
"Ah, haha, yeah... the first one was All Might's mentor, Nana Shimura... and the one when I fought with Stain was... some guy with this long scar down his face, that was connected to Danger Sense, so yeah, it's jarring at first but if your inner manifestation is like mine, it probably never meant any harm," Izuku reasoned a bit, nuzzling her neck a bit. "...um... i-if you ever... wanted to t-try this again, l-let's do so when y-you yourself want to, i-instead of just hormones doing a-all the work; sound r-reasonable?" Like it was that simple of a fix, but Izuku rather say it now then never.
In hearing this, Ciana blush took over her whole face again. She could hardly believe still what she's hearing him say about how okay he was of taking those kind of steps… Ciana at least nodded kinda quickly in response and closed her eyes as she could feel the heat coming back in her cheeks. "I-I would prefer that, t-thank you…" Already Ciana could even feel her heart hammer in her chest, especially since they both are still naked… whatever they did together must had been very pleasing for Izuku, she had no idea what she was doing and yet was humiliating for her.
Ciana hid her face more bashfully recalling her dirty past motives she guessed what could have happened. "W-what is wrong with me…?" Ciana murmured out more embarrassingly.
"You're asking me? I've been falling down this flight of stairs since we starting going out..." Izuku deadpanned a little, not at all feeling he was the best person to lead in this confusing partnership of theirs, his face burning up when he was reminded how he pleased Ciana in the bath. "...I c-can't believe I actually d-did any of that..." Not that what she was doing to him wasn't amazing, but he didn't have the courage to say that out loud, but his heart did hammer away.
That at least brought a chuckle out of her, smiling a little as her cheeks were still very pink. "M-maybe the pheromone effected you to know how to please me to have you act that way… I-I mean, I'm not sure how I thought to do all those weird things…" everything was still fuzzy in her head, yet wasn't sure how she could not have been aware what was changing during what they were doing.
"W-wonder how we'll be t-the next time, with l-less dragon parts, hehe..." Izuku chuckled a bit, still rightfully embarrassed at the memories that plagued his thoughts, trying not to excite his body again while they were like this.
"Y-yeah… f-funny to imagine." Clearing her throat, Ciana kept the covers tugged to her chest. "So… um… h-how long were we out anyways? Is it the afternoon now?" Now trying to change the subject to ease the awkwardness.
Glancing over her shoulder to the bedside table, Izuku spotted the clock. "Only 12:01, so we've been sleeping for a few hours," But his chin slumped to her shoulder again, still stroking her back absentmindedly. "...don't really feel like moving right now,"
Peeking up in a bit of surprise at this, Ciana felt the heat rising from her cheeks yet again and goosebumps coming over her from his breath on her shoulder as well as the strokes of her back. Her heart fluttered as her eyes slowly now narrowed and laid her face back to her lovers strong chest. "I-I don't think I can myself anyways…" Referring to how sore she is below… Ciana wasn't sure how long this soreness will last for.
"It's summer break... w-we have time to plan a date for the afternoon..." Izuku murmured to her, knowing she might also still feel sore from earlier, but just to ease off the tension from earlier. His hands kept moving up and down her back, closing his eyes with his cheek leaning on her shoulder.
"Sounds like a fun plan… that is if our friends don't want to get together again." Knowing their friends are still around, Ciana guessed Bakugo, Kirishima and Shoto might continue trying to improve their skills. Kaminari and Mineta probably will still work as waiters and scouting girls, and as for the girls… they are probably hanging around touring and shopping with Iida.
"I guess we'll see later how things plan themselves out," Izuku replied, peeking behind her shoulder to watch his hand comb through her unkempt hair, it was strangely relaxing to see and do. "Even if we don't hang out with them today, there's tomorrow too..."
"Well we got a whole day and night, even on summer break we usually like to party then too…" Giggling after her remark, Ciana nuzzled her face in his chest further. "Say, this island has so many hero tech… do you maybe think they are selling some useful inventions here too?"
"That could be fun to look into," While saying this, Izuku laid back down on the pillow, wanting to rest now that his body's fatigue caught up with him from last night through to morning. He inadvertently pulled Ciana with him, both looking at each other nose-to-nose, "I want to buy some things if possible, and something for my Mom, and for you too," He smiled to her.
Ciana was pretty sore so she can understand that too well, she laid back too with her head still planted on Izuku's chest. The position was new and strange but she didn't want to fight it as she felt giddy just by her lovers close presence. "Hm?" Again she felt flustered at that last part he had said, averting her gaze a bit with a shy smile. "Y-you don't have to, y-you already got something really special to me as well as bringing me here. I-I don't want to take up more of your money."
Knowing Izuku wanted to spoil her a little was flattering but not like she wanted to use up his allowance from all the things he's planned for her, especially how she had made him feel bad about the misunderstanding she had put him through. "B-but I was thinking of getting something useful for my hero wear or just something in general, I'm not sure if I have enough but it doesn't hurt to see what they have to use."
Nodding in understanding, he wrapped his arms around her body again to keep her close. "Then we have a goal later today, finding you some upgrades; maybe stuff to focus your dragon Aura into ranged attacks, or to boost it's radius or how it forms, there could be ways to enhance your defensive capabilities without needing your quirk too..." Izuku began to mutter in a soft whisper in her ear again.
Just the way Izuku was talking had her giggling and her heart thundering louder in her chest, just being like this while they were still nude felt so strange for her and yet seeing Izuku like this is made him so alluring to her. "Y-yeah, s-sure would be helpful and handy…" Scratching her cheek bashfully, it stuns her again Izuku can be like this without becoming lightheaded from how he would usually get just from being in close contact with a girl.
Izuku hummed to himself, closing his eyes with his face leaned near her forehead, it still boggled him to no end how he ended up in this situation with a girl, but honestly? He wasn't ever going to complain. Her skin felt so smooth and it was nice and warm under the covers that he had no intension of moving around for a while. But when they did, he was going to treat her to boost her spirits again, he owed her that much.
Ciana couldn't help but smile how he act towards her, leaning her face more against his with her own eyes closed in bliss. It may be embarrassing but Ciana can't deny to herself that she likes being like this with Izuku, even she would be too bashful to see herself doing this. Her hand went around to lay against his warm cheek. "Izuku… what will you do when we have to get up? Will you check on All Might and Melissa?"
She asked this in a whisper, knowing All Might would be his number one concern as well as his new friend Melissa. Especially when it comes to her dad who was hurt and arrested…
"Probably check on All Might, I'm sure Melissa wants to be with her dad for now but she said she'd join us tomorrow for the group barbecue," He answered softly, feeling the gentle weight of her hand on his face, looking back at her emerald gaze. "I think everyone's taking today easy then tomorrow they go all out, heh, sounds pretty normal now saying that..."
She smiled lovingly towards his gaze, Izuku still looking so beautiful in her eyes. "Makes sense, I was worried All Might was going to sacrifice himself when he fought that scary villain before with you…" Now her expression shown worry for the top hero. "From how scrawny he looks and all that blood he coughs up… I'm amazed he's still alive, where I'm from that be enough to be dead at that point."
Leaning closer to her, Izuku gave her a warm smile full of confidence. "The thing I've learned about All Might is... he's as normal as anyone else, he was like me, he wanted the strength not to change the world to what he wanted, but to shape it into one everyone else dreamed it could be, that's how I've always dreamt of becoming, someone who was that strong of will... that's why I know, All Might wouldn't die so easily, because, even if he is losing his power, he won't stop until he sees us make the world a better place, that's how I've started to see it, ever since he became my teacher," A hero was defined by their strength of heart. Something Ciana believed in, something Izuku drove himself to prove.
Hearing this perked her smile back up, knowing how strong his heroic heart really is which had even her admire him greatly. "I already see how the worlds changing from what you and everyone else has shown, ever since I watched you clean up that entire beach I could see a hope for this world to be more happier and peaceful." Though now seeing how truly durable everyone is here, this had her want to remind Izuku of something.
"But speaking of that… I-I begun to figure something out when it came to comparing me to you and the people of this world Izuku…" Part of her was afraid to tell him this in case he become more worried than usual…
"That is?" He asked, curiously raising his brow.
"Well, I could be wrong…" Now her eyes wondered in an unsure manner how to explain herself. "You know… how I always become so weak whenever I boost power and when I fell sick when healing your deep wounds?"
"I remember, you transferred an extensive amount of aura to heal severe wounds that aren't your own," Izuku nodded along, unsure where she was going with this.
"Well…" Glancing down for a second, Ciana squeezed her eyes for a moment before meeting her gaze back to her partner. "listen, where I'm from my people are not durable enough to handle intense explosions and hard attacks like you and everyone here, I think… when I get so weak and sick like that, I'm not like you to handle the effects of a quirk…" That's a theory she had when studying her own power and body with her notes, sure she's more strong now handling attacks but Ciana wasn't ever born with a quirk and wasn't exactly like everyone in this world.
"What I mean is… I'm not completely durable, even with a quirk my body isn't completely strong enough to withstand something draining me…" Izuku does break his arm when he uses his Quirk, but he never died and got sick. Even without a quirk he's still really strong compared to her.
"I see... yes, that might make sense given two centuries people had to develop with quirks," Izuku nodded, moving his hand down to hers while giving it more thought. "Then I suppose... increasing the amount of aura you gain is good, it might be worth trying to improve your efficiency in that aspect when we get back to training, if you can limit how much energy you use to heal others or recover stamina, it'll help lessen the fallout on your body, like how I'm limiting OFA to avoid breaking bones,"
"We'll figure something out, but that's a good theory, it does line up with what we've seen,"
She nodded, at least Ciana was glad to see Izuku didn't look very worried what she had explained. "I-I'm not sure how I'll able to do that but hopefully my body will live up like you and everyone else." She wasn't sure if they were separate species as that's what she had thought at first especially with the people's appearance like Izuku's hair color which isn't natural where she's from. "Though we also could be separate species… what if I don't ever managed to withstand the effects what I do with it?"
That part did had her concerned too as she was afraid she might be too weak to be a hero and might even die herself getting involved too much in intense situations…
"That's not something I can answer with certainty, but, maybe that's why Meru Zena chose you... because you could withstand his power, though, you'd have to ask him after we stop him," Izuku pecked the tip of her nose, giving a wink. "Besides, we already know you don't need your quirk to be a hero, you've proven that more than enough to me and to so many others,"
Blushing pink at the action, she stared at him for a few seconds before giggling. "I-I guess so, but I still have ways to go." Now grinning wider, Ciana felt her heart fluttering up again. "Melissa actually even proved her worth as a hero too, even if she didn't have a quirk she had the heart of a hero and was a great assist to you during that big fight."
"That's true, but so were you, everyone gave it their all; we stopped the villains, saved the professor, and the island," He stared into her eyes saying this, briefly remembering how terrified he was when he saw Whiplash ready to tear her apart to take her away, then his gaze was hardened by the fact Ciana was right here, safe. His left arm hugged her tighter.
A little surprise by the action, the girl could see what happened frighten him. Bringing her own arms around him. "I wish I could have been there with all of you to help when you were making your way upstairs, did you seriously climb all 200 stairs to get to the checkpoint?" Now raising her brow playfully wondering that, her legs would have gave out on the 20 steps if she climb that many.
He held her back as tightly. "Yeah, we did... security couldn't detect us in the stairwell so we had to climb, or until someone opened a door that forced us through the floors," It wasn't too bad but 200 Floors was... taxing, even if he was determined to save Ciana and help restore control of the tower. "Worst was the large fans separating the rest of the floors close to the 200th, if not for everyone's efforts, me and Melissa never would've made it up in time,"
"Wow… okay maybe I'm glad now I wasn't able to climb all those steps." She chuckled but also very impressed he and Melissa pulled that off. "If you have told me that when we met up I could of recovered more stamina in you if you were that exhausted in your legs."
"It was fine, all those early morning jogs paid off," He gave a small laugh, his right hand back to mindlessly touching her hair. "But I said it before, you left him on his last legs before we showed up, you've gotten so much stronger, you're incredible too,"
"Hehe, w-well I was still pretty beat up… if you hadn't shown up in time I'm sure I would have been dead." Knowing that, she kissed her hero's cheek with both gratitude and love. "Since what happened I thought I should carry something useful around when that happens again, back home I'd carry pepper spray around to have me get by rough people…"
"So you want something with more kick then or just better utility," There was bound to be something for her, if not, there was always the chance to send in a form to the company that makes their costumes. Whilst combing her hair, his hand rested on her cheek, caressing her skin while they talked. "In emergencies, having a great back up tool can be a life-saver, though, that's a given; we'll find something,"
Leaning against his warm hand, Ciana reached up her own the cup the one on her cheek. "There's always Hatsume if we can't find anything here, you used some of her inventions when you teamed up so I can see her pulling something up from her sleeve." Remembering the mad scientist, she has yet to meet her but always wondered what she's was like in person besides seeing her fool around with Iida.
"What class is that girl from anyways? Is she in class B too?" More curious of the girl, tilting her head in wonder further.
"She's Support Class, so she's wants to create the gear heroes use in the field, basically a high-tech inventor, so all that gear she used on Iida and me is part of her future job, and what she spends most of her time working on," Izuku explained simply. "That class is where we can ask for minor improvements or repairs to our gear with Power Loader's approval, and the students can do so; she'd definitely help if you need it,"
"Maybe I'll talk to her when we have the free time." Though Ciana also wondered if she had ever apologized to Iida for messing around with him… she could have done that much for him. "But it's really cool she's into creating cool stuff like that, what was that thing you used when you were teaming up with her?"
Getting more comfortable, Izuku pulled himself up slightly against the pillow, Ciana still held against him while he spoke with a content expression. "She calls her inventions her... 'babies', not judging the creator, but that's a little weird. Anyway, combining boots that stabilized movement in the air, a jetpack for the boost, the two synergized well with Uraraka's and Tokoyami's quirks, it kept us mobile so Hatsume really outdid herself."
"Babies?" That had Ciana chuckle at the nickname the inventor calls her stuff, sounding like she treasures her inventions greatly to call them that. "Well that's interesting… but also her inventions sound incredible too, I read stories of people inventing cool things for heroic stuff like Batman in the comics." Her gaze went to the ceiling recalling the other fictional hero's.
"There's even this top world rich inventor who created a mechanical iron suit with amazing super effects he calls himself Iron man in the stories, I think you really like that story too if I shown you." Ciana had a feeling Izuku would be into the Marvel issues at home, they are pretty unique hero's like the Quirk people of this world.
"'Iron Man'... I think I remember that one..." He hummed in thought, then smiled brightly to her. "Well, I'd like to hear about it someday, if it's as old and vintage as that comic you gave me, then it must be amazing,"
"I definitely got hooked on that hero when I was 10." She giggled with a happy grin and a cute tilt of her head. "Oh! There's even this hero that's similar to Bakugo, well their powers are different… but have very similar tempers." Already she felt her nerdy fangirl coming over of her.
"This hero called the Hulk, he turns so big, buff and green whenever he gets angry. He was misunderstood as a monster at first when he first changed but was able to keep his anger under control a bit better and use his new superhuman ability to fight for good for the people who were in danger." One of the reasons why Ciana didn't think too badly of Bakugo when she was starting to get to know him.
"That's another name I vaguely heard of, but... definitely sounds like Kacchan," Came his chuckle, leaning close to listen more, finding it when she went comic fangirl really cute.
"I found it strange he turned green but still really cool." That's definitely a quirky hero that would relate to this world. "Another popular hero is a spider guy called SpiderMan, he was bitten by a radio active spider that gave his spider like abilities to climb walls, shoot webs from his wrist and gained incredible strength. He didn't even need to wear his glasses anymore when he mutated."
That was a bit freaky for her to read at first but the hero's costume and abilities were definitely very cool to her.
"Huh, using a form of web lines to traverse areas would be really useful..." Izuku commented, chuckling at her starry-eyed expression. "It's cute listening to you talk about heroes from media in your world, they all sound cool and unique,"
"Hm?" Blinking when realizing now she had been acting nerdy, had Ciana blushing a bit in embarrassment. Now rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "W-well their stories were always exciting to watch on tv…" Clearing her throat, Ciana felt a lot like Izuku in that moment. "I think your own hero fan hood is starting to rub off on me…" eyeing him playfully when saying that.
"Happy to have a positive influence on you," He teased.
"You always did Izuku…" Now narrowing her eyes more teasingly with a wide smile. "Why do you think I was so cheerful after we first met?"
"Same could be said about you to me," He shot back, matching her expression daringly. "You're quite the life changer, heh,"
"Me? I-I didn't really do much…" Poking his nose while her smile turned cute. "Your future had stayed the same without me with you, you got to U.A. by yourself and still made friends as well as being a hero. So… I-I didn't do much to change your life besides being your first friend." That wasn't much of a problem as she was happy to be there for Izuku when he didn't have anyone sticking up for him at the time.
"While true originally, that could be said about a lot of people who've made their lives better, even if without a single person's hand, but you being here, everything we've done and will continue to do, it... made it easier, and... I got to make memories and improve on myself with you, it may not have matter before if you weren't here, but I'm glad you were," With a tender voice, he stared at her lovingly. "I'm happy you stumbled into my life - and yes, that is very cheesy to say, but I stand by it,"
"Me too…" Her smile and gaze became more loving towards her hero as her heart even picked back up. "Even if I haven't done much for you, you done a lot for me and that's bringing my own smile back and having more faith in people like you again. Especially being the closest friend I ever had in my life."
"Guess that makes two of us again..." Izuku smiled, kissing her lightly for a few seconds. This world according to Ciana's premonitions meant they were never supposed to meet, and events would unfold like they always had, yet, it felt so much brighter and exciting with her around, Izuku certainly had no regrets in helping that troubled girl that day, taking her hand was the best possible scenario.
Ciana gladly accepted the kiss happily even if it was only for a few seconds, it was enough for her chest to feel warm and fluttery. Her smile stayed warm and loving towards her hero. "Say Izuku… if… you never met me, would you have fallen in love with Melissa?" Ciana couldn't help but ask, she had a hard time wondering who his soulmate would have been after meeting the two girls he was the most close to.
He made a strange face, the same when he was stuck on a question, "Hrm... that's tricky to answer... I dunno, maybe? I-it's not something I'd give thought to. Maybe the same answer I gave when you asked about me and Uraraka, about there being a possibility if circumstances weren't shifted around," It was a strange hypothetical. "I guess the same could be said about other events and developments too..."
"I'm so sorry…" She couldn't help but apologize, her gaze looking down a bit sadly. "I still can't help but feel afraid I ruined your happiness with someone better sometimes… I mean you do relate to Melissa more than me." Her gaze went back up to him with a sad smile.
"That's just how things panned out, and really, need I remind you that despite what you've seen, fate's not set in stone, I am happy," He hugged her closely, their noses touching again. "I'll repeat it for years, and you know I will,"
Smiling at this as well as hearing her own heart banging the walls of her chest, Ciana closed her eyes and leaned her forehead against his. "I know… my heart will forever belong to you no matter what…" She murmured out happily and lovingly in her tone.
Pressing his forehead to hers, Izuku cherished the silence that followed, feeling her lithe arms around his back as he held onto her. "And mine yours..." He whispered to her.
Once again his words and embrace warmed her heart greatly, Ciana wondered if she will be able to stay under control now that they officially did it. Though now realizing something… that's when her eyes shot up in a panic suddenly "Uh… Izuku, did… d-did you prepare with any protection when we got out of control…?"
Like alarms going off inside his head, Izuku's face paled as it sank in... "...oh crap..." Swallowing the lump forming in his throat, he sat up , hands covering his mouth at the realization at probably the worst mistake he could've made. "...I'm such an idiot, I-I-It completely..." Unable to even form the words, he hung his head against his hands, trying to stop himself from panicking further. This was a big risk, and he screwed up.
"What?!" That's when she had shot up too, eyes widening in fright at the possibility she could be… "Oh my gosh! W-wha… w-what do I do if I end up pregnant?!" There's no way she could hide that, if that happens while she's in school… "Oh no, e-everyone will know we… w-we…!" Ciana begun to feel lightheaded…
Izuku ran his hands up through his hair, trying to calm down, shaking with anxiety. "I messed up, I so freakin' messed up..." Luckily, there was a chance that wouldn't happen, but Izuku knew better than to bet on chances when it was something this serious, and it was him and Ciana, they weren't good at 'silver linings'. "T-this is my fault, d-despite everything I'm t-the one that should've b-been careful, and now y-you could end u-up..." Somehow, he had a mystical way of screwing up everything, maybe he was the problem since the start? His negative thoughts beginning to tear strips off his mind. "I'm s-so sorry..."
Ciana tried to calm herself down by placing her hand over her heart and taking deep breaths. "I-it's okay, l-let's not panic now… w-we only went once so t-there's a chance we been spared. God I really hope so…" Already the girl prayed with her hands together she does not get morning sickness soon…
"Y-yeah... yeah, you're right..." Izuku took a similar route, steadying his breathing to finally have the guts to look at his frightened girlfriend. "I-I'm sorry, I should've... thought about that b-before, t-this is mostly on m-me," One other good thing was what they did wasn't illegal but if Ciana ended up pregnant that could be bad for both of them depending on who would know. "I somehow find new ways to ruin any g-good moments w-we have..." She really deserved better...
"Izuku, it's okay… a-anyone would of made a mistake like that in a relationship, happens all the time… not everyone gets pregnant on their first time anyways, this way we know when to be careful next time." Now clearing her throat, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly while the other held the covers on her chest. "So far I feel fine… besides being sore."
Meeting her eyes, he felt... a little better, his face reddened slightly. "I still feel bad, but... hopefully next time it'll go much smoother, I-I just hope you'll be okay, I'd never want to put you in t-that position when you're n-not ready,"
"This on both of us, it's not your fault. If my mom is still watching over me then I'm sure she protect us from this." Though her mom would have scolded and backlashed her if she had found out her daughter did this while in high school as well as her dad… sweat dropping with a sheepish smile just imagining.
"I feel like she'd kill me if she knew..." Izuku gulped, but felt comfortable enough to hold her hand again tightly. "Again, I'll take responsibility if anything does happen, for now... w-want to go back to bed until the pain subsides? Then we c-can enjoy our evening later,"
"I-I could use the rest…" At least managing to perk up a smile from his squeeze. "If I don't get any sickness later then we should be fine, but you're not telling anyone what we did… not even your mom." Ciana was firm on that last part, especially since he can't always keep a secret.
"B-believe me, I don't have a-any reason nor courage t-to do so," He held up his hand to her, slowly leaning back down to feel his whole body relax from that momentary scare, though he kept his wits about him. It would take time before any earlier signs settled in so until then, Izuku tried to calm down, looking up to Ciana holding her side of the sheet over the front of her body, then back down to stare at the wall across from his view, still visibly troubled.
Despite what happened, Ciana couldn't help but bring her grin back. "I feel like we're already a step closer to a future together…" The girl ended up teasing with a chuckle to lighten the mood, laying back down to turn to her side so he see her bare back. "Hopefully by the time I wake up I'll feel less achy…" Now her eyes closed as Ciana rested her head on her pillow, secretly smiling a bit more at the idea of her and Izuku being wed someday…
"...a future together..." He mindlessly thought, it was strange to think about, but... properly focusing on that future with Ciana, it was entrancing, one day... situations like this wouldn't be weird for them; showing affection openly, the two of them spending years together. It drew a smile back to his face, instinctively moving closer to wrap his arms around her stomach, her back against his chest with his eyes closed to put the negatives at the back of his mind. "...I'd like that..." He muttered without thinking, his face buried in her hair.
Perking her eyes open slighting from hearing those words clearly, her head turned a bit to eye him as her heart was pounding away. Ciana smiled and blushed as she felt very touched knowing how Izuku truly felt about her… enough to melt any fears she had left of him ever falling for another, laying her head back on her pillow while staying in his hold, Ciana softy grinned even wider knowing they both share the same new dream. "Me too…" Ciana whispered back, closing her eyes again to rest in her favorite hero's safe embrace.
