The sound of her footsteps echoed throughout the mostly empty hallways. She skipped towards the end of the corridor while humming a song she had heard recently.
Stopping in front of the designated door, she checked the bag she has in hand. After making sure that everything was there, she took a deep breath and slid it open.

Hearing the door open, Izuku instantly shot up.
"Good afternoon Deku kun! Todoroki kun!"
Shouto turned to the newcomer and gave a small nod of his head.
"Greetings Uraraka san."
She smiled brightly at him and looked Izuku in the eyes.
"I hope I'm not intruding."
"Of course not." Todoroki said as he turned the next page of his book.
"That's good then." She lifted her right hand that had the pink tote bag. "'Cause I brought you both lunch."
The green haired boy blushed and scratched the back of his head.
"Thank you Uraraka san."
"No problem!"
She grabbed a chair and dragged it towards Midoriya's bed. Putting the bag down on the table, she pulled out two plain bento boxes and a stack of papers.
"Homework from the past few days." She said as she handed them their food.
As soon as she sat down, both boys began to eat.
"Thanks for the food!"

The next half an hour was spent catching up on what the two rising heroes missed.
It was all light hearted conversations until Uraraka brought up their next topic.
"About Iida san's brother..."
They all were quiet. It was on the news alongside what happened to UA.
Pro Hero Ingenium was found in an alley beaten beyond recognition by a Villian.
Iida left the moment his mother called.
"How is he coping?" The question surprised them both as it came from Todoroki.
"Better than you think..but I can tell that he's just putting up a front." Uraraka answered.
"Well lets set up a date so we can hang out with him instead!" Midoriya said.
"That's a great idea. Todoroki san when are you free?"
"Are you sure you want me to come along?"
"Why not? We're all friends right?" The green haired boy tilted his head.
Friends.
A small smile made its way across Shouto's face.
"Yeah..we are."
They continued talking, pushing the thoughts of a pink haired girl to the back of their minds.

Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep. Bee-
The blare of the alarm was cut off by an arm connected to the lump on the bed.
Pushing the comforter away, he slowly sat up. Grabbing the glasses on the nightstand, he placed them on the bridge of his nose as he made his way towards the bathroom.
Stopping in front of the mirror, he stared at his reflection.
He looked like shit.
Also felt like one.
The dark circles underneath his eyes were more pronounced from restless nights. Eventhough his physique maintained, the hallow of his cheecks were deeper indicating that he wasn't eating much either.
His hair was dull, matted and it smelled just like it looked.
Fresh tears made their way down his face as he clutched the sink until knuckles turned white.
His knees buckled, unable to hold his weight any longer so he slumped to the floor. His forehead touched the cold tiles as he cried.
"Nii san."

"You two are fit to go."
"Alright!" Izuku beamed.
"But you need to take it easy. I don't want to see either of your faces back here again so soon."
"I promise you won't Recovery Girl."
The small nurse gave a pointed look to Todoroki.
"Same here." He said quietly.
She smiled.
"I'll let Aizawa know that you both are going to start attending your classes today."
The both of them bowed.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you."

He heard the chatters before he even stepped into the classroom. There was only one reason for his classmates to be this noisy so early in the morning.
That shitty nerd was back and probably the half-and-half bastard as well.
His scowl deepen when he slid the door open and his theory was proven right.
There on his seat was the bane of his existence covered in bandages. His smile so bright that he might go blind if he stared any longer. His laugh sounded like tinkling bells that made his ears hurt. Green curls bounced around as he turned to face him.
"K-kacchan."
When did he move? He swore that he was going towards his seat.
Looking down at the shitty nerd, he saw his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Thanks a lot. If it weren't for you, we could've finished the sports festival and I could've won."
His head hung low and he was playing with the bandages on his arm.
"I'm sorry."
"You should be."
"Hey!" Ochako jumped down from her perch on Izuku's desk. "You shouldn't go around blaming people for things that they didn't even do!"
"I agree with Uraraka chan." Asui said.
"Yeah!" Mina shouted.
"Tch." He turned and walked to his seat.
"Don't listen to him Deku kun."
He froze and tightened his fists.
That was not what he intended to say. His 'get well soon' came out differently.
Who cared anyway?
'Definitely not me.' Bakugou thought.
He looked towards the -now smiling- face of his ex childhood friend one more time.
So what was this feeling in the pit of his stomach?

"Alright settle down kiddies."
Aizawa waited for all the teens to sit down before he started talking again.
"Alright I have two things to tell you this morning. First things first, I would like to welcome back Todoroki and Midoriya."
The green haired boy laughed nervously as most heads turned towards him and Todoroki while the latter just gave a small nod.
"And I hope you two got enough rest."
"Why is that?" Midoriya asked.
"That brings us to the second thing. We are going to pick up where we left off at the Sports Festival."
The students began to talk excitedly with each other.
"That means for those w-"
Bam!
"I hope you have a good reason for interupting." Aizawa turned his black orbs towards the large figure that just entered.
His yellow pinstripe suit was an eyesore and it was not helping the headache that he has nor the news that just came out from his mouth.
"She's awake."
