The first thing you saw when you entered the hospital room was bandages. All along his body, especially across one side of his face. They said he got burned by Dabi but was rescued by Tokoyami.
You owed that boy a great debt now.
You sat beside him at his bedside, you watched his sleeping form with a careful gaze. You took in every inch of bandages skin. It felt like his entire body was burned. You cursed Dabi under your breath for hurting your husband.
If you could get your hands on him, you’d show him what true fear felt like. But you couldn’t get to him, he was behind layers of metal, sitting in a cell until he went to trial. All you could do now was be there for Keigo.
“Baby.” You said as you placed a hand carefully on his less injured side of his face.
His eyes slowly fluttered open and he looked at you, “Oh, dove.” After a couple of moments of sleepily looking at you, he woke up a bit more. he realized that you were here, “Dove!”
“Shh, shh, Keigo. Relax.” You said as you pulled away from him and placed your hands back in your lap.
The nub remains of his feathers fluttered in excitement which caused him to wince. He couldn’t help it, he was so excited to see you.
You burst into tears at the sight of him. He looked to hurt under all that cloth. Your beloved husband was beaten in battle and almost died. You knew the risks he put himself under all the time, but to see the result of a loss broke your heart.
“Don’t cry, my dove.” He said softly.
“I’m sorry.” You sniffled.
“First second I saw you and I couldn’t get over how beautiful you were.” He said weakly, “Still as beautiful as ever.”
“Keigo, shhh. Don’t push yourself too hard.” You hushed.
He turned his head to look up at the ceiling, “I’ll live through this, just like I do every other time.”
“Luck will run out at some point.” You remarked.
He reached out for you and touched your hand carefully, “But I’m still here, you’re safe. Dabi has been captured. I’ll heal baby.”
You sniffled, “You’re so hurt.”
Keigo looked back at you and said, “Don’t cry. Please my dove, don’t cry for me.”
You wiped your eyes with the heel of your free hand and exhaled deeply, “I know. I know you’re alive and the injuries could be worse. But it still breaks my heart to see you like this. Your wings are gone.”
“They’ll grow back, they just need time.” He yawned,”Everything will be fine.”
“I hope so.”
“I know so.” He said cheekily with another yawn. He continued to hold your hand as he started to drift off to sleep again.
You watched his hurt body. The stark white of the bandages across what felt like miles of burned skin. He was alive and you hoped his recovery would go smoothly.
