sleepy tenderness | izuku m.
You almost fell asleep when Izuku’s voice cut through the silence of the room— making you open your eyes slowly.
“There’s one more here,” his tone is soft, yet analytical, brows furrowed as his hand hovers above your naked breasts, finger poking one of your beauty marks on one of them.
You blink a few times— your eyes readjusting to the faint light of the room— trying not to let sleep envelop you again. You look down where his finger points, seeing the little dark spot placed perfectly near the valley of your breasts.
“Oh— that…” you mutter, surprised. “I didn’t even notice,” you let out a sleepy chuckle.
He just hums at your words, green eyes focused on the spot, fingertips brushing softly against it as if trying to decipher when it appeared.
“It wasn’t here two days ago,” he adds quietly, making you raise your brows.
“You keep count of my beauty marks?” you ask in disbelief, even if the gesture fits him so well. Of course he’d do that.
“Sometimes… when I can’t fall asleep,” he admits, eyes flicking up for a second. “Is that weird?”
You shake your head at his question— your hand finding his.
“It’s very surprising… someone being so observant when it comes to me,” you assure him, guiding his hand over your cheek, placing it against the warm skin.
“How can I not be? You just… exist and make me want to look at you— trace you— study you…” he frowns again— not believing you would even ask this.
You can’t help but smile, warmth spreading through your chest at his words. Without thinking, you reach up, letting your fingers lace through his hair, and gently pull him down— your lips meeting his in a slow, lingering kiss.
He melts into it instantly, hands moving to rest against your sides, but you’re the one guiding him— pressing closer, feeling the rise and fall of his chest against yours. When you pull back just slightly, your foreheads rest together, and you let out a soft laugh.
“It’s not weird,” you murmur, brushing a strand of hair from his face.
He smiles, green eyes shining with something awe and affection.
Carefully, you shift, letting him settle against you, your arms wrapping around his shoulders as you snuggle close. His head rests perfectly in the curve of your neck.
“Stay like this?” you whisper.
“Always,” he breathes, and you press a soft kiss to his temple, letting the world fade away as you both just… exist, together.
