MIDORIYA'S POV
Tears run down my face again. I have been crying on and off for the last few hours. Todoroki and the girls went home two hours ago. Bakugo has been gone for at least four hours. I think, but I'm not sure. When I returned from the tests they wanted to do, my room was still empty. My heart was breaking because I thought he would be back by now.

The doctors and nurses have been in and out of my room. Every time the door opens, my heart skips and then breaks a little more. I don't think he's coming back, and I don't blame him. The kids were in danger because of me. Shit, what was I expecting? The officer said I killed him. I killed Tenya in Bakugo's house. Of course, he wouldn't want a killer for a nanny or a boyfriend.

I finally laid down, back to the door. I couldn't bring myself to look at it anymore. My pillow is soaked from tears. I guess I'm moving back in with my parents because I really fucked up this time. I was brought out of my thoughts as I jumped out of my skin when a hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Hey, are you still awake?" I jolted up at the sound of his voice and immediately regretted it. My heart went into overdrive as the room started spinning. I lost it and cried even more. "Hey, you're alright. I'm here, and I'll always be here," he said softly as he pulled me into his arms. God, I feel safe here, with him wrapped around me like this.

I buried my face in his chest and let it all out. He began rubbing circles on my back to soothe me. "Shh... you're okay, and it's over. Everything is over, and you never have to worry about him again."

"I-I know. They said I ki-killed him. I'm so s-sorry." I mumbled into his chest. He pulled away from me, locking our eyes, before studying my face.

Gorgeous red eyes held confusion in them. "Why, why are you sorry? Sorry for what? Protecting my kids. For fighting him off, defending yourself? What exactly are you sorry for?"

After taking a few sharp breaths, I answered the best I could. "F-for putting the kids in d-danger, for killing h-him, and in your h-house." I choked out before saying, "I'll go home with my parents. You don't have to worry about having a killer around our k-kids." I barely got the words out, trying to catch my breath.

His hand was slowly placed over my mouth, "Izuku, stop. I don't blame you for anything that happened." I could see it in his eyes. He meant every word he said. "Eijiro and Tenya are to blame. No one else, understand? I don't know how, but they met and started talking. Eijiro gave him my address and told him when I would be on the plane and how to override the security system."

I set up a little more now, wiping the tears on my face with the back of my hand. "S-so, I still have a job, and you still want to be with me?" I could feel my lower lip quiver as my voice sounded small and unsure but not as broken as before.

He placed his forehead on mine, smiled, and said, "Didn't I tell you once you can't get out of work that easy?" He chuckled before adding, "Besides, I can't see my life without you in it." His thumb ran across my cheek as he pressed his lips to the top of my head. "I love you, Izuku Midoriya."

I leaned into him once again and sobbed. "Hey, I didn't say that to make you cry," he said softly as he pulled me into a hug.

Shaking my head and pulling back, I said, "No, these are happy tears. I love you, too. I just... well, I thought for a while that you weren't coming back," I told him with shame and embarrassment in my voice with tears down my face. "Y-you were gone for so long, I just... "
