[Izuku blinks when the mask is torn off and tossed to the floor. He chuckles and moves to grab the container. He opens it and brings it to his lips. He sips on the broth and then sucks down more. He hums and chuckles.]

Your mom is magic then. [He smiles up at his friend.]

Why don't you sit down? I'd like the company if you have the time.

[superchill]

My mom got the recipe from someone else so I guess not.

[He retorts, eying Deku as he downs the soup. It doesn't matter if she got it from someone else though, he knows how good the soup is and how nice and warm it always made him feel when he was sick. Because of course he's been sick, he just likes to pretend he never had been.

Without saying anything, he sits down on the other end of the bed.]

You know why you're sick? Cause you're weak. Do you even work out at all? Your body's probably crying out for help.

[iloveheroes]

[Despite the obvious jab, Izuku doesn't mind. He shakes his head and takes another deep drink of soup.] I work out. I take self-defense classes too. I even starting doing this thing called Parkour. It's fun. Maybe I wasn't eating right or not sleeping enough. Work has been really busy lately.

[superchill]

HAH! You doing parkour. That's a fucking joke.

{Bakugou laughs, hollow and annoyed. He doesn't have to stay and listen to any of this. He really doesn't. Yet here he is.]

What, your stupid books on Quirk cheating? Don't worry, I think the wold can completely survive without your shit.

[iloveheroes]

It isn't cheating. And I'm sure it will. Well, mostly.

I'm just glad I don't have any appointments today. [He sighs and coughs again.]

Hmm. Can you get me a damp cloth for my forehead, Kaachan? I feel too warm again.

[superchill]

It's cheating, you dimwit! You're gathering info that heroes are supposed to figure out themselves!

[He rolls his eyes, then makes a face, leaning back away on the bed]

Fine, but you better gimme one of those face mask things so I don't get your grubby germs.

[iloveheroes]

I don't give all the answers, Kaachan. Just some. But I guess I won't change your mind. [Izuku points to his bedside table.] In there. I have a box of them. Just grab one out. Thank you, Kaachan. It means a lot, you helping me.

[superchill]

You can't give SOME answers to those of us who are going to be heroes! You're taking away important learning skills!

[He pushes himself up and goes to grab a face mask, putting it on before he gets infected with whatever stupid plague Deku has. He's still grumbling under it.]

Just eat your fucking soup! Where the hell are the wash clothes!

[iloveheroes]

Some people need help, Kaachan. Not everyone is as talented or self-aware as you.

[Izuku sits up more and drinks more soup.]

My closet. I keep everything in there. Middle shelf, by the towels.

[superchill]

[ Bakugou pauses, narrowing his eyes at Deku. ]

Are you fucking mocking me? You better not be, or I'll blast your head off so hard you won't ever get sick again.

[He definitely doesn't need this condescending bullshit from Deku today. He glares a moment longer, then goes to get the wash clothes and wets them. He has no idea why he's doing this stupid shit]

My mom.... she wants you to come to our fucking house until you feel better. I told her that was a fucking stupid idea.

[iloveheroes]

[Izuku shakes his head. He waits for Bakugo to return to speak. He reaches out for the wet cloth. He feels so hot. He's sweating more now.] I'm not mocking you. You're smart. You know yourself better than anyone. [He sighs and closes his eyes, his outstretched hand falling onto the bed.] She's so nice. I can't go. If I go missing...they'll be worried. [His eyes start to droop closed.]

[superchill]

[ Bakugou doesn't let Deku take the washcloth. Instead he moves in close and places it on his forehead, letting his fingers brush inconspicuously against the other boys skin. Deku is warm- burning up, even. Not that Bakugou cares. But maybe he does, just a little. ]

Damn right I fucking do. And how the fuck do you think I got this way. Lots of hard work and learning how to be fucking self aware. Not some stupid book.

[He frowns, eyebrows furrowing]

The fuck you talking about? Who'll be worried?

[iloveheroes]

My friends. Like Sen. [Izuku closes his eyes fully and coughs again. He holds his hand over his mouth. This one lasts longer than the others. He clears his throat once it finally passes.] Ow. Just need to sleep, I think. I'm cold. Can I get another blanket? There should be one in the hall closet.

[superchill]

Sen.... so call him the fuck up and tell him you'll be elsewhere! Fuck, it's not that hard!

[The cough is bad and even Bakugou can tell that Deku shouldn't be alone with this. Bakugou grabs the soup and puts it aside, then just stands there for a moment, thinking.]

You're burning up, you're cold because you're getting all gross and feverish. My mom will have some medicine or some shit. You can't stay here. You have a fucking draft coming in your window and you cant sleep properly on this futon.

[iloveheroes]

[Izuku's breathing becomes more labored. He doesn't open his eyes as he feels around the bed then reaches out for the floor around him.] Where is my phone? [He stops looking to cough again, just as bad as before. He shakes and nods finally. He is getting worse. Kaachan is right.] O-Okay. ...You win.

[superchill]

[ Bakugou would almost think that Deku was faking the way he's rapidly deteriorating right in front of him, but he knows Deku isn't like that.

He glances around until he spots the phone and holds it out to Deku, then starts looking around for a bag and starts shoving some of Deku's clothes into it.]

Of course I win. I always win. I know what's fucking good for you.

[iloveheroes]

[Izuku takes the phone and goes quiet. He fires off a text and locks his phone again. He nods and painfully swallows.] Kaachan always wins. [He smiles a little as he says it.] Thank you. For coming to take care of me, Kaachan.

[superchill]

Yeah, yeah.

[He mutters, hauling the bag over his shoulder when he's done packing it, then comes over to the bed.]

Don't make it fucking weird. Is there anything else you need from here before we go?

[iloveheroes]

I'll try not to. [Another cough and he closes his eyes. He pants for a moment, trying desperately to catch his breath.] No...nothing else. How...are we going to go? I can't walk like this, Kaachan. Are you going to carry me the whole way?

[superchill]

[There's a very prevalent frown on Bakugou's face, more than usual, but there's no hesitation with his reply]

Yeah. I'm gonna fucking carry you. What else am I supposed to do? Just don't cough on me. Do you have one of those extra masks? Give it to me.

[iloveheroes]

There's one in my bedside...table. [He points at it beside his bed. He has an entire box in there.]

Can I have my cough drops too? That way I won't cough on you.

[superchill]

[ Bakugou goes searching the bedside table for cough drops, shoving a bunch in his pocket and tossing some to Deku, then grabs a mask and puts it on, then heads back over to the bed]

Ready?

[iloveheroes]

[Izuku unwraps and pops a cough drop into his mouth. He sucks on the nasty thing. He made sure to get a gross flavor. Something he won't enjoy to make sure he doesn't eat them too quickly. He nods and holds up his arms.]

Ready, Kaachan.

[superchill]

[ He waits till Deku does his thing, then more carefully than he usually does anything, he slides his arms under Deku and lifts him up. He's not even making a face under the mask, he's just concentrating on not jostling him around too much. ]

Just relax, okay? I'm not gonna drop you.

[iloveheroes]

[Izuku wraps his arms around Bakugo's neck and presses his face into the blond's shoulder. He nods and manages to stay fairly relaxed in those arms.] I know. I trust you, Kaachan. [He closes his eyes and sighs. He feels safe. His body is heavy and he hopes he isn't too heavy for Bakugo to lift. He knows in this state, his friend wouldn't drop him. Maybe if he was well but not like this. The tension in his shoulders disappears as he just enjoys the feeling of being held like this.]
