Y'all the Deku hit so hard tonight idk WHAT happened

It's the over thinking when he holds your hand. It's soft and small in his, his calloused and scarred hand- and he thinks, this is his life. Protecting and serving. And when you look into his eyes with a soft smile he's torn in half. Where would there be room, when would there be time, for this again? For your puffed laughter into the shell of his ear, for the small of your back pushed against his stomach as you dream? You say something full of love, and kindness, and patience, and he lets go of your hand, and smiles at you. He loves you, he loves you so much he could burst at the seams, he is a hero made into nothing but a freckled boy in your presence. He cannot be both. And you deserve for someone to be always be present, when you need them. He is a hero, lover to not one, but all. He lets go of your hand, and you look at him quizzically, while he sits next to you on your couch. He smiles at you, soft, and boyish, and Midoriya.

"I love you." You smile back, and he runs his hand behind you on the sofa cushion.

"I love you too." Deku, he reminds himself. You deserve more than Deku.
