Kirishima and Aizawa arrived at the dorms and made their way to the main living hall. Only to be surrounded by the rest of the class. Except for Bakugo who was sitting on the couch flicking through a magazine
"What the hell happened to you! You look like you had a fight with All Might!" Kaminari gasped as he looked at the bruise and cuts that marked Kirishima face which poked through the bandages
"Where did you go we didn't see you after school? " Mineta asked
"You had us worried! You're wherein breach of the curfew! " Tenya barked, his hand chopping the air as he spoke.
We heard sirens coming from the woodlands west of here. Was It a fight, a robbery?" Shoji asked in a concerned tone, poking his mouth like appendage between Sato and Sero
"What about Deku? did you see him? is he okay?" Uraraka worriedly asked which was soon followed by a flurry of other questions from everyone else
"Enough! Let Kirishima speak." Aizawa bellowed activating his quirk, his eyes glowing red and his hair rose into the air.
"Well...where do I begin..." Kirishima scratched his head
"The beginning!" Kmainari stated trying to lighten the mood only to receive a series of annoyed stares and a stab in the neck from Jirpis earphone jacks.
"Okay...well I was out getting new training gear, and I bumped into Izuku, he was getting new notepads. We got what we needed, and Izuku showed me a shortcut which we took. We saw this guy who looked in distress, we went over and he asked us to find glasses. I found them and gave them to the man who thanked us. He asked for our names and the next thing I know he attacks us."
"Geezzz what was that guy's problem?" Mintea huffed.
"He said he was there to fight Izuku and offered me a chance to get away...I reused.
"Just like a true hero" Tokoyami seriously stated.
"What happened next?" Mina asked,
"We fought and after I don't know how long we managed to knock the villain out.
"What was his name...bet it's something super badass" Sero stated only to lean over and nudge Kaminari.
"He called himself Glass."
"Naaahhh that's lame," Kmairari replied nudging Sero back
"What about Deku?" Uraraka asked her voice shaky and marked with worry
"I saw him lying unconscious, and I tried to wake him up, he was in a bad way..." Kirishima worriedly stated, his eyes wide and beginning to sting with tears as the incident replay in his mind only for Aizawa to enter the conversation noticing Kirishimas distress.
"I arrived with All Might, Izuku had sent a distress call out on his phone and we arrived with the support of the police. Izuku is at the hospital." Aizawa explained inadvertently causing the room to burst into panicked yells and cries,
"We have to see, him, he'll need the support, being in hospital can be so lonely." Mina proclaimed,
"Let's get a support package made, food, drinks, you stuff to help him relax" Hadakary stated waving her invisible hands as she moved towards the kitchen checking the pantry for food followed by Sato who started pulling pots and pans out.
"I'll bake some treats...anyone knows what Izuku likes" Sato proclaimed to the room, as he got the pots and pans out of the cupboards
"I'll look for books, DVDs and anything he'd watch. Ojirio headed to the dorm storage room, it had been stocked with books, DVDs and numerous other items. It had been Nezu's idea to provide these resources to help make the dorms more familiar and homely.
"I'll help you" Sero tapped Ojiro on the shoulder following him to the storeroom
"Yeah me too!" Kaminari bellowed as he joined the group with Mineta, Koda and Aoyama following suit. The room was large and required a good number of people to dig through it.
"I'll make a set of pyjamas and If there is anything we can't get or find, I'll use my quirk to make it" Momo offered to get a set of cheers from Mina and the other girls
"We need to calm down! We don't even know Izuku's condition!" Iida, barked, though it hurt him to speak like this as it was his best friend that was hurt, he still had to take charge.
No one listened and continued to tear the place apart, even Todoroki and Tokoyami, who weren't the most involved members of the class when it came to personal matters joined in, with Tokoyami sending Dark Shadow ahead to grab a number of books. games and other items while Tokoroki had joined those in the kitchen, offering to speed up the cooking process with his fire side.
As this was going on, Bakugo lowered his magazine and sighed.
"That damned nerd got himself into trouble again."
Bakugo raised his magazine and continued reading. It wasn't his usual response to be so quiet, but even he knew at some point was better to keep silent.
As this happened Aizawa felt a buzz in his pocket. It was his mobile phone.
Aizawa removed his phone and saw that Toshinori had texted him.
"Izuku is in surgery. They are worried that he may not be strong enough to survive the surgery."
Aizawa rather than reply instantly took a deep breath and sighed.
"All Might has just texted me to say that Izuku is in surgery...they are confident that he will respond well to treatment if the surgery goes well." Aizawa projected in his usual non-emotional manner to the room, a round of relieved sighs played through the room at the response. As he spoke he swiftly slipped his phone into his pocket.
"I can't tell them the truth, not yet...they would panic and act irrationally if I told them the full truth...a rational decision to save them. I hate this." Aizawa thought, he had always been a supporter prominent of deception, as it helped with his line of work, but with his students now that he had grown to know and care for them, he hated lying to them on important matters. They had seen and been through more than most but they were still kids.
"A lie to keep them safe was better than a truth that leads to harm"
"Listen up! it would be best for everyone to try and relax, I know this is a lot to take in but we must not panic. It may be some time before you are allowed to see Izuku so I, will let you know if anything changes. In the meantime, I will be in my room, if anyone has any concerns or worries just knock on my door alright...and class activities and homework will be postponed until further notice."
The room was silent, even such a rare relief from activities and work wasn't enough to rink even a weak yell of happiness.
Aizawa sighed and turned to make his way to his room, only to stop in front of Kirishima.
"I know you've been through a lot today, if you need to talk, my door is open." Aizawa placed a comforting hand on Kirishima's shoulder and spoke softly
Kirishima nodded and Aizawa let go and made his way to his room. At which Kirishima took the small plastic bag in hand and headed for one of the couches in the main room
"You must be starving Kiri!" Mina yelled to Kirshimia,
"Nah...I'm not hungry." Kirishima mumbled as he took a seat on the couch. Next to Bakugo. the worry had suppressed his appetite but he knew he had to eat.
"Eat you, damned idiot. You cant be a hero if you're not eating" Bakugo grumbled as he looked at his magazine
"I guess you do care...thanks man," Kirshimia told himself as he looked to his rather blunt friend and smiled
"You sure you don't want anything? we have some leftovers if you want them?" Mina asked.
"I think ill have something to eat. Thanks, Mina" Kirshimia called back, getting a thumbs up from Mina who pulled out the leftover to reheat them.
Afterwhich Kirshimia rubbed his eyes and yawned, only to look at the bag at which point he rose to his feet bag in hand and walked towards Uraraka, who was standing close to one of the elevators away from any of the class
"Uraraka"
"Yes Kirshimia, what is it?" Uraraka smiled, though her smile seemed to be forced to some extent
"Can I talk with you, in private?" Kirishima leaned in and whispered to her, before looking around him to make sure no one was looking
"Okay?" Uraraka stated in a confused tone as they walked to one of the study rooms.
"So what did you want to speak about?"
"I wanted to give you this." Kirishima handed the bag to Ochako who pulled the small white box out and opened it to find a chocolate gateau, the icing had been dented during the fight but it was still intact.
"Thanks, Kirishima..." Ochako took the box in both her hands looking at the gift with an awkward gaze, getting a worried look and response from Kirshimia"
"Oh no no, no it didn't get it for you, Midoriya did." Kirishima raised his hands and shook them in an attempt to dispel the potential connotations of his actions
Deku got this...for me?" Ochaoko mumbled look back at the cake, taking a
"Yeah, he told me that you had a funny moment when he asked you if you wanted anything from the mall," Kirishima explained resulting in Uraraka's blushing a vibrant shade of red.
"He didn't, I mean we did...oh god how do I explain it," Ururaka muttered, fumbling over her words
"You don't need to explain anything, I get it. You like him, and he likes you..."
"Izuku likes me?
"Yeah! He's scared to say... but I think when Izuku gets better, you should tell him how you feel
"He's scared?" Uraraka raised her brow in surprise. She had seen what Izuku had ut himself through with a smile on his face, she had seen him go against seemingly unbeatable odds and not show a hint of fear and yet hearing those words it didn't make sense given what she had seen Izuku do.
"He doesn't want to say in case it ruins your friendship, he cares a lot about you and wouldn't want to hurt you."
"I...I never thought Izuku would like me like that...who does this unless they like you?" Ochako thought as she looked at the gateau in her hand which was proof of what she had believed for so long but never wanted to risk acting if it wasn't true.
"Izuku likes me," Uraraka told herself a sense of warmth enveloped her causing her to turn a shade of red, though this warmth wasn't enough to melt away the worry that was eating away at her heart.
"Thanks, Kirishima." Uraraka smiled and hugged her friend, who was surprised by the hug but did accept and return the favour.
"You're welcome... I'm so hungry." Kirishima stated on for his stomach to grumble and ruin the moment.
"Let's get go back and see if those leftovers are done." Uraraka chirped as she and Kirshimia made their way to the main hall but there was one question that Ochako wished to ask.
"Do you think Izuku will be okay?" Ochako sighed, her heart felt as if it was being made of lead, weighing her down, which was evident in the weakness in her voice, her eyes showed the fear she felt, like those of a rabbit in the headlights of a car.
Kirishima paused for a second, he had seen the condition Izuku was in, he had seen the blood pouring from his eyes and mouth but he knew Izuku had fought through terrible injuries to come back stronger.
"He'll get through it. I know he will." Kirishima stated co differently, before entering the main hall.
