《Just for the Summer (TodoBakuDeku)》Chapter 5

Izuku's POV~
When I woke up the next morning, I was extremely warm, like I was laying on a heated blanket and I had one on top of me. I was comfortable and didn't want to move.
I blinked my eyes open, taking in my surroundings. I looked up and saw I was laying on Todoroki's chest while he was casually scroll through his phone. I looked behind me and saw that Kacchan was passed out on my back.
It took a minute for all of it to register in my head.
When it finally did, I tensed up and my eyes went as wide as saucers. I didn't want to move, in fear that I'd wake Kacchan and he'd lash out, but I didn't want to just stay there, sandwiched between him and Todoroki.
Okay that was a lie, I wouldn't mind staying there, but I was beyond embarrassed and confused as to how I got there in the first place.
Todoroki seemed to finally realize that I was awake and looked away from his phone. "Oh, you're up." He said.
Thank you captain obvious.
"Yeah, how long have you been up?" I asked him, keeping my voice low so that Kacchan wouldn't wake up. Partly for my safety and partly because I knew he needed the sleep.
"A while." He said vaguely.
"Why didn't you wake us up? We could like, get off you then. Wait, how'd we even get in this position? I though I fell asleep in the middle of the couch. When did-"
I felt Kacchan shift on my back, shutting me up instantly. "Fuck nerd, it's too early for your mumbling." He groaned.
I thought for sure I was dead meat. I figured he'd just blow me up and that would be that. Instead, he moved his head slightly, wrapped an arm around my lower back, and went back to sleep.

What. the. fuck?
I looked up at Todoroki, hoping he had an answer to any of my millions of questions.
"I didn't wake you guys up because he needed sleep and it wasn't like I was uncomfortable or anything. You fell asleep sitting up and ended up falling to the side and landing on me. You just kind of curled up and kept sleeping, so I just left you. Bakugou and I ended up staying up for a few more hours until he passed out from exhaustion and he wrapped himself around you. I fell asleep shortly after that." He explained, shift his arm to get more comfortable under me.
I nodded as I processed everything he'd just said. I looked back at the passed out blonde on my back. "Why do you think he's just.. not killing me right now?" I asked him in a hushed voice.
Todoroki attempted to shrug, but because of our position, he couldn't really move his shoulders. "My best guess is that this was the first night of decent sleep he's gotten in a while." He said.
I thought about his answer, but it only brought to mind another question. "Why can't he sleep?" I asked. It was more of a rhetorical question, but Todoroki still offered an answer.
"Could be anything from insomnia to nightmares. He's kind of had a rough high school career so far. I can't imagine he could be kidnapped and just walk away with no mental scars." He said, looking past me, at Kacchan.
My neck was starting to hurt from holding my head up, off Todoroki's chest. I figured I wouldn't be going anywhere soon, so I just laid it down again. My ear was to his chest and I could hear his steady heart beat.

"He can't keep this up. He needs to actually sleep." I mumbled.
"I know." Todoroki said back.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, focusing on his heart beat. I slowly slipped back into unconsciousness.
The next time I woke up, was an hour or two later. I was still on Todoroki's chest, but he was sitting up more now and watching tv. Kacchan was awake to, sitting where he was last night, and eating a bowl of cereal.
"Good morning again." Todoroki said, once he saw that I was up.
I drowsily smiled at him and sat up. I moved back to my spot in the center of the couch. "Morning nerd." Kacchan mumbled in between bites of his food.
"Good morning guys. What time is it?" I asked, trying to rub the sleep from my eyes.
"Like twelve." Kacchan responded, still focused on whatever show was on the tv.
My eyes widened at his answer. "Are you serious?" I asked, look back at Todoroki for confirmation. He nodded his head. "I don't think I've ever slept that late." I said to myself.
"Well, you did seem pretty comfortable." Todoroki offered, sitting up and stretching out his back.
My face heated up at his comment. "In my defense, I had nothing better to do other than go back to sleep. I couldn't really move." I said, glancing back at Kacchan.
He stopped eating and looked over at me. "You're the one that said you wanted to help me. Already going back on the offer?" He shot back.
Did he just admit that he was accepting my help? In the form of cuddling?
"W-what? No! I'm just saying that I couldn't get up, so I went back to sleep." I said, holding my hands up.
"Calm down Deku, I'm messing with you." He said, rolling his eyes and going back to his show.
"Yeah, I knew that." I said unconvincingly.
"Sure Deku." Kacchan said.
He finished his cereal and stood up, going to the kitchen. When he came back out, he walked over to the couch and looked at Todoroki and I with his arms crossed. "I'm gonna go train and I need someone to beat the shit out of. Volunteers?"
At least he was honest?
"U-um, I'll spar with you if you want?" I offered hesitantly.
He huffed, "Good enough. Be at the track in fifteen minutes then." He said before walking off.
I groaned. I didn't really want to train so soon after waking up, but I was stuck now.
"C'mon, I'll go with you guys." Todoroki said, getting up and offering me a hand.
I took it and he pulled me to my feet. "Oh, do you want to spar to?" I asked him.
"No, I'm just going to make sure you don't tear each other apart." He said honestly.
I paled a little at the thought. I gulped before saying, "It's just sparing, what's the worst that could really happen?"

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.

It's granted him what is widely considered the most unlucky of inconveniences: becoming host to a powerful but pernicious spirit that will act as his guide and protector--and one day end his life.
