//slightly angsty but let's say this is a slight time skip to the second semester

EIJIROU POV
Katsuki was acting very strange. He just didn't talk to me as much. When I talked to him, it seemed like he was annoyed or frustrated. Was he ignoring me..? Did I do something wrong and maybe he just wasn't telling me? I don't want to upset Suki more.. I don't want to make this about me even. I'm just really worried about him is all. He's my best friend, my soulmate, and I just feel useless if I can't make him smile. I had to talk to him about this.

I ended up waking up as usual. My hair really needed to be cut, but until I could get it cut I pulled it up in a little pony tail. I put on my uniform and knocked on his door. He was usually ready way before me, so I just assumed that he was today. I got no answer, but I could hear an alarm going off. Was he sleeping through it maybe? Something was definitely not right about this. Akiyama was diligent. He was manly beyond belief. He was tough and caring and I could just go on forever really. I just decided to go for it and open the door.

KATSUKI POV
I woke up to Eijirou poking my face. I groaned and felt like skipping today. "Go away Ei.. I don't feel good." I said pulling my blanket over my head. "I'll take care of you then! What's wrong?" my boyfriend said looking at me with such a melancholy expression. Fuck.. I hated that face he was making. I know he said something, but couldn't make it out exactly. "I just.. I can't tell you." I guessed he asked what's wrong. The truth is I don't specifically know myself. He looked at me pouting.

"Look I really don't know okay..?" I said looking at him again. He was mumbling. The truth is I couldn't hear him or anyone else really. I mean I could make out words and stuff, but this was just frustrating. "Wait Ei can you maybe just take me to the nurse?" I said not even sure what my soulmate was saying. He nodded and took me to the nurse's office. It was pretty state of the art, considering this was a prestigious hero school and all.

NORMAL POV
Both of them headed to the nurse after the ash blonde got dressed. Eijirou was very anxious and kind of worried. Katsuki already knew what was coming to be honest. He was just putting this off for as long as possible. The nurse basically ran a few tests on him and it was concluded he needed hearing aids. Akiyama was not very happy about this.

Katsuki was visibly distraught and anxious. Eijirou hugged him tight but all Katsuki did was push him away and storm out. "Suki-! Hey wait Katsuki!" The dark haired teen ran after him only to be met with an explosion a few inches away from his face. He stopped and felt useless in a sense. Katsuki probably wanted to be alone. He got that, but he needed to know that he didn't need to be alone.

How am I going to be a hero if I can't hear?

Does Eijirou think I'm weak?

Will he leave me too?

Everyone is going to make fun of me-

They'd all be better off if I gave up.

Being a hero is my dream.

Do all my dreams have to die over and over?

No one is going to save me or him. It's inevitable. I'm so mad at myself.

Eijirou forgive me if I do something stupid.
