Tohinroi wasn't sulking. Truly he wasn't.

Despite having knowing that Nighteye's quirk was literally never wrong (yet), and having his friend tell him that he and the girl would be a good match- he totally wasn't sulking. Sulking was for children after all. And the fact that he was currently hanging out in Aizawa's room with the snappish and brooding man proved absolutely nothing to the contrary.

"I'm going to get out of this bed and kick you out of my room if you don't fucking stop that now." Aizawa growled at him in annoyance, causing him to blink at him owlishly. His expression almost zombie-ish as he bit down on the plastic spoon that he was using to eat his pilfered pudding cup.

"I'z no don anytin." He said around the spoon, wincing a little bit as he accidentally wedged it between the top of his teeth some.

"You're sulking," Aizawa said in a accusing tone as he carefully removed the spoon form his mouth before he could do any serious damage to his teeth. It would be difficult for anyone to take him seriously if he accidentally lost a tooth because of a spoon and wound up with a big gap between his teeth. "So Nighteye told you something life altering. That some girl was going to love you... So what? You're acting like the end is nigh. Get over it already and stop sulking in my room!" The man whisper shouted at him.

Toshinori gave him a bored look, not the least bit impressed by his words. They wouldn't change his mind any. He didn't want the girl to fall in love with him. It was just...just wrong.

For starters, there was the age difference. While he didn't exactly know her actual age, he was working with the assumption that she was around fifteen. He was thirty.

He'd be a flipping cradle robber! How would he be able to live with himself if-

"I said stop it!" Aizawa shouted- literally shouted at him this time as he somehow managed to chuck his bedpan at his head. Which was not only startling, but incredibly impressive considering the man's two broken arms.

Not that it really mattered any though. Toshi still managed to dodge it and blanched a little bit as something yellow splattered all over the wall and floor behind him.

"D-Did you just try to hit me with your piss filled pan?" He asked in an incredulous tone as he turned narrowed blue eyes to the other man.

"Would you rather it been number two?"

"How about neither."

"Then stop your fucking sulking, you loser." Aizawa snarled at him. The or else, hung unsaid between the two men. Though it was fairly easy to tell what the injured man was thinking.

The next time he came to his hospital room and pulled this nonsense, he'd take a shit filled bedpan and smear it all over the idiots big, frigging face.

Toshinori narrowed his blue eyes at the man even further and growled, "I'll kill you first." Aizawa to give him a blood chillingly feral grin from behind the bandages covering his face as he said almost gleefully.

"Challenge accepted."

Causing the blond to almost visibly gulp before he could stop himself, because even he would be stupid to take the man on- on a good day. Especially considering his devious streak. And decided that maybe he'd hung out enough with Aizawa for today and quickly excused himself to...go and do something less annoying?

Like visit someone else a little less violent.

However he'd already been temporarily banned from Thirteen's room, and now Aizawa's. Not to mention the burn ward and the children's ward and the giftshop. So what did that leave him?

Aside from sitting his ass down in the girl's room and trying to pretend that he didn't feel something- some small tug or ache in the vicinity of his heart whenever he looked at her bruised and battered face. He'd noticed that pretending that the dark and painful discolorations didn't anger him, was getting more and more difficult for him by the hour.

Though he couldn't quite figure out why.

Stepping back out into the hallway, he gently closed the door behind him. Effectively sealing the surly man in the room by himself and pretended not to hear his angry grumblings as he slumped over in his bed and tried to get comfortable.

Sighing, Toshinori glanced towards the girl's room. Idly wondering if today would be the day that she finally awakened, or if she would continue to sleep for a while longer. Knowing how bad her injuries were, he could logically assume that she would sleep for a little bit longer.

After all, broken bones, ruptured organs and the like couldn't heal themselves overnight. It was simply impossible. It would be a miracle if she managed to completely heal with in a month or so.

Stepping into the girl's room since he couldn't really go anywhere else at the moment, he expected to find her still sleeping. However he froze up in the doorway upon catching vivid green eyes staring at him blankly.

"O-Oh." He breathed as he noted the way that those green eyes suddenly flared to life as soon as they touched on him. All remaining vestiges of grogginess and disorientation vanished and oh- but he could feel her fury and indignation as she tried to jerk her small wrists free of the cuffs that held them down.

Partially as a safety precaution and partially to prevent her from yanking out her IV and anything else that the doctors deemed important to her continued survival.

He must have stood there like an idiot for several heartbeats just trying to calm his rattled nerves before finally moving forward to stop her. If she kept jerking her arms like that she was going to hurt herself even more.

"Stop, stop, stop," He said as he reached her bedside and very gently laid his hands on her in an effort to still her. "You're going to hurt yourself more if you keep moving around like that." He said in a gentle, coaxing tone. Hoping that it would help her to calm down and stop thrashing around.

He was only a little bit disappointed when it didn't work. If anything, his presence seemed to make her thrash around that much harder. Placing one hand on her forehead he absently stroked her dark hair back some, winding up petting her as he made soft shushing sounds and reached for the call button so that he could summon a nurse.

She jerked her head underneath his fingers and finally went still after a few minutes.

He paused in reaching for the call button, uncertain about whether or not he should bother anyone now that she seemed calmer. However he knew enough about people to know that she was simply trying to lull him into a false sense of security to get him to drop his guard.

"Tell me what's wrong. Are you in pain?"

"L-Lemme go." She rasped, her tone sounding both anxious and nervous to him.

"I can't untie you unless someone says that I can." He said gently as he kept petting her hair as he asked again. "Are you in any pain?"

"Fuck yes, I'm in pain. But-" She paused to pull at her restraints again. The action causing her whole body to jerk as he moved his hand towards the call button again as she said. "I-I need to get up. Please, just let me up."

She sounded desperate, almost pleading to him. Her tone tugged at his heartstrings in a way that made him want to wrap her in his arms and simply comfort her.

However he had to hold himself back since he doubted that she would appreciate him taking such liberties very much. Especially given how much she was likely hurting at the moment.

"I'm going to call a nurse and see if someone can give you something to help you rest a little easier." He said gently as his fingers wrapped around the remote that had the call button on it as she made a soft keening sound and began to pull a bit harder at her restraints.

"Dammit, I don't want to rest! I'll rest when I'm fucking dead! Now lemme go already!" She snarled at him. Sighing, he pressed the call button and simply kept petting her hair in an effort to calm her down. She began to thrash around harder once he pressed the button, the bedframe creaked warningly and he suddenly had to move one of his hands to catch one of her hands when she finally managed to break one of the cuffs.

Pinning her free hand to the bed, he held it in a firm grip to prevent her from using it to break the other cuff as he tried to think- hadn't the cuffs that were used to tie her down been reinforced? Similar to the ones that he sometimes wore to suppress his strength?

If so, then physically the girl had the strength of a monster. And untying her might be for the best in the long run if it kept her from freaking out like she currently was. As long as she didn't become violent, that is.

It took a few minutes longer than he had expected it to, but a nurse finally showed up. The woman too one look at him partially holding the girl down and then muttered a curse and quickly went to grab something to make her sleep again. She came back with a doctor in tow several minutes later and started to move towards the girl's IV when the girl suddenly yelled, "I want release forms! Get them now!"

The doctor had been looking over her chart while the nurse had been about to inject something into the IV when she yelled out the words, after that, everyone simply froze up.

The doctor, the nurse, hell even he froze up- though he had no idea why. But it only took about a heartbeat or so to shake himself out of his funk as the doctor walked around the bed so that he was looking her in the face as he said, "Young lady you aren't in any condition to move around. You've suffered multiple broken bones, internal bleeding, a punctured lung-"

"I'm aware of that," She said from between clenched teeth. "Now kindly get me release forms. I don't want to be here a moment longer than I have to be."

"Miss, I must protest. You aren't old enough to-"

"Like hell I'm not, I'm eighteen. More than old enough to sign myself out of a hospital without parental permission. Or a court appointed guardian."

The doctor sighed and looked at the nurse who was still poised to inject the meds into her IV. "Very well, let me at least give you something for pain."

"Don't you dare!" The girl snapped angrily as the nurse went to finish up her task. "If you medicate me against my consent I'll sue." She warned. The nurse froze and the doctor looked as if he were about to have a stroke. Both were startled that a patient would go so far as to mention a law suit.

Frankly Toshinori was more than a tad bit startled too. Who in their right mind threatened to sue someone who was simply trying to help them? True, the doctor wanted the girl medicated so that she'd be so out of it that she'd probably forget even asking for the release forms in the first place- but still.

"Fine, I'll be back with the papers in a moment." The doctor spat before then looking at the nurse again and telling her to untie the girl before then storming out of the room.
