[The fact that Saya knows what it is immediately has Katsuki's heart at ease. The two had been cuddling so far, but he wasn't sure if it was doing anything. It's a good thing he asked, or he was going to try to brave the weather to get him to a hospital.
He gives his currently snoozing boyfriend a soft kiss on the top of his head, and he holds him even closer to his chest.]
Okay.
So he has time. Even if his skin feels so goddamn cold? Even if he's barely able to stay awake?
He has time, Katsuki. Just stay with him. It might not feel promising but it does help. If you have control enough over your Summer abilities, it might also help if you can heat your skin a bit. [ She doesn't have to tell him to be careful with that, burns will not help anything. ]
I ran out to the Research Center [ various people flinched hard at seeing Saya's face but whatever ] And they've seen this before. Words of affection also help, in addition to contact, so get romantic on him. And they're making a potion. I'm going to help gather ingredients.
I have been cranking my body temperature to the limit. My Quirk also makes me run hot, so honestly I feel like I'm about to drown in sweat. But it's not like I'm not used to that.
Anyway, of course mushy stuff helps. Why didn't I just think of that before?
Thank god there's going to be some kind of cure. If you could help get some for us, that would be great. I really can't leave his side right now.
Don't hurt yourself, then he'll just be upset when he gets fixed up.
Of course I will. I'll get enough for my loved ones and Izuku as well, and as many others as I can carry ingredients for. I'll give you the first dose I get my hands on.
Is there anything you need before I run off? As fast as I am it'll only take a minute to get over there with anything you need.
[ That nickname is sweet, and she loves it, but it also makes her heart skip for awful reasons. The last person to call her that was her little brother, her second Chevalier, who she got killed. ]
I'll bring you a bundle of warmer blankets. Just unlock the door with your telekinesis and I'll come right in so you don't have to leave him.
Anything you can do with your hands, you can do with telekinesis. The only limit is how strong your ability is, and I know firsthand that yours is strong enough.
[It takes him a couple of tries-- some clicking here and there and jiggling of the door knob-- before it unlocks and she can come on in. When she does, she'll notice that the heater was up obscenely high, the two were snuggled right in front of a fireplace with a thin blanket over their shoulders, and an exhausted Izuku was wearing Katsuki's heat insulating Hero Costume.
[ She looks down on them, charmed and touched and a tiny speck jealous. She'd love nothing more than to stay with her husband and Venti, among others, and keep them warm. But this is her chance to repay some of the kindness she'd been given, to do something good for those she loves rather than inflict them with something terrible. Nothing can redeem her really, but if she can do something to take that worry off Katsuki's face, at least that's one thing she can say she did right before she hibernates. ]
All you need to do is stay with him. I'll keep you updated so you don't have to wonder how much longer. There's one ingredient in each segment, but the new teleporters are up and running so it won't take so long.
[ Saya fluffs out two of the thick blankets and tucks them over Izuku, careful not to disturb either of them. ]
[Katsuki nods, and he lifts his gaze from the cold boy to give Saya a small smile.]
I appreciate it, Saya-nee. And obviously he will too.
[It puts a lot of stress off his shoulders knowing he can just focus on Izuku, while someone else takes care of getting the necessary ingredients to save him. Though if he had to find them himself, he'd probably strap Izuku to his back like a backpack.
[ --Well it's a lot harder to be even slightly unhappy with her role in this when he says that. All Saya ever wants is to help the people she cares about, to be more than a source of pain. Here's her chance. (It's even, in some tiny way, a chance to redo what happened to Riku. To do things better, this time. To not let those who need her down.) ]
[ She reaches down to squeeze his shoulder. ] I'll be back before you know it.
Be careful. Don't do anything too stupid just for our sake.
[He has to tease a little, as he wraps the blanket tighter around the two of them. He's so thankful to have someone like Saya to rely on-- she fills the roles of his mentors, and of Pro Heroes, very well. A skilled adult who knows what to do in sticky situations, that he can rely on when he needs.
She doesn't see herself as one, but to Katsuki, Saya is one of the coolest Heroes he knows.]
[ Goodness if she could hear those thoughts she'd be horrified. Get better mentors Katsuki. ]
Please, who are you talking to? I do plenty of stupid things for my own sake.
[ With that, she takes off. All the better to get back in a hurry. She doesn't need to sleep so she'll be back in just a couple of days (exhausted and anemic but back). ]
