I was GOING to have another suggested chapter for today's update, but I'm so fudgin' sick I just cannot think straight. So, the obvious solution was to write a chapter featuring sick!littlebeansprout (I was sick posting last Thursday's chapter too, but not "made mute because of a raw throat" sick)

Also, you guys have soooooo many amazing suggestions and I want to try them all, but, ehhhhhh,,,,, school is making me suffer and I may have to go on a temporary hiatus soon just to focus on that and make quality chapters for you guys. I hope and pray that it does not happen, but life is life *sad face*

Also, for the next follows milestone… what arc do you want to see?

Sorry for the lack of quality… enjoy!

Cough, cough.

It started as just a tickle in the back of his throat. Izuku didn't pay much mind, other than the wish for whatever it was to go away.

Cough, cough.

Aizawa looked at his adopted son in concern the third time Izuku's tiny coughing interrupted class. Other than the coughing (that Izuku was NOT covering, no matter how many times Aizawa had reminded him), Izuku seemed totally fine. Perhaps it was just Aizawa's imagination, but the little bean sprout seemed a bit sluggish, though the poor kid had had a nightmare the night before.

About halfway through the day, Izuku was passed out on the floor. Unusual, but not surprising, given the night prior. After the class left to go to Ground Gamma with All Might for some combat training, Aizawa walked over to his kid and felt the kid's temperature. His eyes widened.

Izuku was burning up.

Aizawa carefully picked up his little bean sprout and exited the classroom, heading for Recovery Girl's office.

"Chiyo-san," AIzawa greeted the nurse.

"Shouta! Come in my dear. Is that young Izuku? Is he alright?"

"I think he's sick." Aizawa confessed. "He's been coughing all day and his temperature is really hot."

"Hmm…" Recovery Girl pulled out a little thermometer and took Izuku's temperature. This involved sticking the end into Izuku's ear, which woke the three-year-old up.

"Otou-san?" Izuku muttered sleepily. "My head hurts…"

"I know, Izu." Aizawa said gently, arms unconsciously tightening around Izuku. "Chiyo-san is going to make you feel better."

Recovery Girl was writing some things down. She paused: "Did Izuku sleep well last night? Has he been around any other sick kids?"

"Not that I'm aware of." Aizawa muttered. "And he had another nightmare last night. We stayed up for a long time."

Recovery Girl nodded. "Lack of sleep weakens your immunity system. He'll be fine, but a few days of rest away from your class is an absolute must. Also, you should try to sleep as much as you can in order to not get this cold yourself."

Aizawa nodded in affirmation. Recovery Girl pulled out a bottle of medicine and measured out a child's dose of Ibuprofen. After some struggle, Izuku reluctantly swallowed the medicine and happily accepted the lollipop Recovery Girl offered him.

"Just one question," Aizawa paused, thinking of how to phrase his question. "Why… why not just use your quirk and just let him sleep it off?"

Recovery Girl shook her head in mild disappointment. "He needs to recover from this on his own, otherwise he will catch a cold again quickly. His body can handle it."

"Okay… thank you for your assistance," Aizawa stood up (Izuku had fallen asleep again. Aizawa carefully removed the lollipop and put it in the trash) and left the nurse's station.

*time skip*

Aizawa took the next few days off to watch over Izuku. The kid didn't really do much more than sleep and watch movies.

On day 1, Izuku couldn't do anything more than sleep.

On day 2, Aizawa could tell that when Izuku was awake, he was completely zoned out.

On day 3, Izuku's coughing got way worse. He started coughing up phlegm and crying. Aizawa and Izuku spent a large portion of the day next to a toilet, as Izuku came close to throwing up multiple times.

On day 4, Izuku was completely mute. His throat hurt too much to speak. Luckily, his persistent headache had faded from a loud pounding to a dull ache.

On day 5, Izuku mostly slept. The worst was over, but the bean sprout still felt hot and cold at the same time, and the rough coughing persisted.

Throughout the week, Aizawa continued giving Izuku the medicine. One day (day 6) Izuku felt well enough to wake Aizawa up at 6 o'clock in the morning for cartoons by jumping onto his bed and climbing all over the tired parent.

Aizawa decided today was as good as any to go back to work.

The next day, Aizawa woke up coughing. With a sigh, he realized he had probably caught what Izuku had. He called into work and told them he was sick, and sent Izuku to live with his ojisan Present Mic for the next week.

Quite a few students weren't in school the following weeks, including a large portion of class 1-A.

Grrrrr I'm not happy with this chapter. But I'm sick sooooo…. Sorry if this chapter wasn't as good as the previous ones….

If you have anything you want to see, tell me via PM or review! Please stay healthy, and if you are already sick, get well soon! I'm gonna go back to sleep now….
