Izuku blinked slowly taking in his surroundings. He was gazing up at a white ceiling. Slowly he tilted his head noting the slight sting of an IV in his arm.
"How much could you do for him?"
Izuku quickly closed his eyes and slowed his breathing faking sleep as he heard the familiar sound of All Might's voice. A second voice joined in.
"I could only heal him to a point where he won't have permanent paralysis but his healing is going to be slow and tasking. His ribs were broke in several places and the bones in his legs crushed. He will have to go through a lot of physical therapy and for a normal kid his age it would take a year for full recovery but knowing your student he will try and push himself too hard and extend it even more." Recovery girl sounded regretful giving the bad news.
All Might sighed. "At least he will make a full recovery. I couldn't live with myself if he was permanently injured while I couldn't be there to help because of this stupid powerless body."
Izuku tried to push himself into sitting position. "A-All Might don't say that" Izuku choked out his voice wavering. "You're not stupid... you're the best teacher I've ever had and that's a power in itself."
All Might teared up rushing to Izuku's side. "Look at you Midoriya my boy trying to comfort me when I'm the one supposed to be comforting you." Tears ran down his mentors face as he gently pulled Izuku into a hug. "How much did you hear kid?" He asked softly.
Izuku looked down at his feet defeated. "All of it... listen I know I need to become the greatest hero fast and I'm sorry for dragging you down... but I promise I'll work hard to recover fast... and I'll be careful too!"
All Might smiled one of his famous hero smiles but his eyes only held pain. He ruffled the young boy's hair. "I know you will my boy but there's no rush. Eraserhead and all the others can take care of the villains just fine until you're all better okay?"
Izuku tried to smile the energy quickly draining from him. "Okay..." he fell forward against All Might's chest sound asleep.
His teacher gently pushed him back against the pillows and covered him with the blanket. "Rest well Midoriya my boy. We've got a long road ahead of us."
~~Later~~
Midoriya groaned in pain rolling over only to stop when he felt the sting of the IV being moved in his arm. His body ached terribly all over. His ribs throbbed with each breathe making the simple task of breathing difficult and his legs... his legs were screaming but Izuku was relieved because the pain meant they were still there and working. He opened his eyes expecting to see the wall but almost jumped when Ka-chan was sitting in a chair a few feet away.
Bakugou noticed the boy gaining conscious and held out his hand. Izuku automatically flinched at the outstretched hand. Bakugou growled "You think I'd go through all the trouble to save your a*% only to kill you when you can't even give me a fair fight. It's pain medicine."
Izuku smiled and nodded his thanks taking the medicine. "Thanks for staying with me Ka-chan. You didn't have to."
Bakugou looked away. "I'm not here for you. I'm just here because I have a stomach ache. The old hag asked me to give these to you when you woke up."
Izuku smiled and waved his hands in apology. "My bad. Sorry she bothered you with my problems."
Bakugou tilted back in his chair. "Well I guess I have nothing better to do right now. My at we'll help a weak little s*#t like you to pass time while I wait.
The door to Izuku's room swung open. "Deku!" Uraraka's voice echoed through the room and she ran to his bedside. "
"Midoriya are you alright?" Iida marched in behind her.
Izuku smiled reassuringly at his friends. "I'm fine really. I'm sorry I worried everyone."
Uraraka grabbed his hand. "Don't you go be selfless and worry about us. Look at what a mess you are. Let us worry about you for once, it's okay. You'd do it for us."
Iida started fluffing Izuku's pillow and making him comfortable "Is there anything I can do you? Do you need water or pain medicine or anything?" He asked.
"Actually Ka-chan already got me some." Izuku motioned to the chair by his bed where the teen looked like he was going to storm out any second.
This is the first Iida had noticed Bakugou in his frantic rush to assist Midoriya. "I had no idea you cared about Midoriya Bakugou. I thought you hated him. I'm glad to see childhood friends re bonding and developing a healthy rivalry." Iida spouted out. Bakugou looked like he was going to blow a fuse with each word Iida spoke.
Izuku raised his hand and smiled trying to defuse the tension. "Uh Ka-chan Iida..." but it was too late.
"I'M HERE BECAUSE I HAVE A F$ KING STOMACH ACHE! I DON'T CARE ABOUT A WEAK A#* S*^T LIKE DEKU AND WE ARE NOT F*^KING FRIENDS!" Bakugou looked like he was going to blast Iida's face off when Recovery girl opened the door.
"Katsuki you've been waiting three hours for Izuku to wake up why don't you go home and..." she trailed off. "Oh Izuku you're awake that's great! And you have other visitors. I'm sorry everyone I have to check his condition if you could just step out-" she didn't finish her sentence before Bakugou marched past her in a huff slamming the door on his way out. Recovery girl eyed the door with annoyed look. "I'll have to give him an earful about manners later. As I was saying if you all could just step outside for a minute I'll look him over."
"Of course ma'am!" Iida saluted.
Uraraka snickered on her way out. "I have a stomach ache my a*#."
~~Author's Note~~
Someone asked me to continue so I decided why not. Here's another short chapter. Sorry I put in random symbols in the cuss words. I know it's silly but I don't like to cuss and I feel less weird about it if I don't fully spell them out. I don't want to exempt them though cause I love Katsuki and he just wouldn't be the same Bakugou without his loud foul mouth haha. Anyways I hope you enjoy and please feel free to drop a review!
