Katsuki sighed, staring at his phone.
"What's up Bakugo?" Eijiro asked.
Katsuki shook his head and put his phone away.
"Is it Sano?"
They were both sat in the Hero Course common room after class.
"You could just go and see her?" His red-headed friend suggested.
"And that won't seem weird at all? Just going up to a girl's room and knocking on the door." Katsuki snorted.
"She's your friend, isn't she?"
Katsuki blushed. "I guess, but I haven't gone to her room before."
"Then call her?"
"She's got a sore throat, according to Shinso. She went into class at midday and still looked rough."
"Text her."
"She might be sleeping."
"Jeez, man. Now you're just making excuses!"
"Shut up!"
Eijiro huffed a little. "Well then, if you're not gonna check on her, I'll go and do it for you." Eijiro stood up. "What's her room number again?"
Bakugo shot to his feet. "You can't! I bet she doesn't even remember who you are."
Eijiro sniggered. "Well, how about we go and see her together?"
Bakugo sighed, defeated. I really do wanna see her. He walked out, Eijiro followed after him.
Shoto watched from the side lines. She went into class?! I wonder if she's alright. I hope she isn't mad that I just left this morning… He clenched his fists. What am I thinking…?
Deku looked over to see Shoto looking particularly frosty. He sighed and went over. "Are you okay?"
Shoto flinched and looked to see his freckled friend. He cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Want to spar with me? Kahoko is out of commission for obvious reasons, so I'm minus a partner today."
Shoto nodded, glad of the opportunity to clear his head. "Lets go."
"It's room 32 I think." Katsuki mumbled before stopping at a refrigerated vending machine that was next to the staircase on the second floor. "Will she like pudding? It'll be easier for her to eat, right?" He asked aloud.
Eijiro smirked. "Yeah, I should think so. It'll be cooling too."
Bakugo nodded and took out some change and got a pudding in a pot and headed down the girls' corridor.
Kahoko was wrapped up in her comforter, steaming mug of honey and lemon tea in one hand and her laptop on her lap, trying to catch up with the work she'd missed, but not really taking anything in.
A knock on the door snapped her out of her daze. She tried to concentrate on the visitors' heartbeats and breathing, trying to determine who it was, but alas her senses still felt like cotton wool. "Yeah?" She called before coughing.
"It's Bakugo and Kirishima, we were just checking up on you." Eijiro's voice called through.
"Oh, the doors unlocked, come in!"
The door creaked open.
"Hey, guys." She said, putting her cup down on the side table.
"Here!" Katsuki shoved the pot of pudding in her face. "Eat."
Kahoko blinked. "Um… thank you, Kacchan." She took it from him. "That was sweet of you."
Katsuki blushed. "It's nothing, I just thought it'd be hard for you to eat much."
She smiled.
Eijiro sighed and sat on the edge of her bed. "Are you feeling any better?"
Katsuki suppressed the urge to hit him on the head. How dare you sit on a girl's bed without her permission! He opted to sit on the bean-bag near her dresser.
"I'm getting there." She assured him. "Another day or two and I should be good as new."
"Well, that's good. Bakugo here has been worrying like a mother-hen all day." Eijiro chuckled.
She rolled her eyes.
Katsuki cleared his throat. "Have you taken your medicine?"
"Yes, mom." She replied, sticking her tongue out at him.
He pouted.
Eijiro cracked up. "You know, I see why you like her."
Katsuki glared at him. "Shut up!" His cheeks blushing roses.
Kahoko gave a giggle.
Eijiro looked around and spotted a photo at the side of her bed. "Oh, is that your brother?" He pointed to it. "Sorry if you feel as if I'm intruding."
She looked around to it. "Yeah, that's Tama-chan. Was taken when we were about thirteen." She smiled fondly.
"Wow… he's like a boy version of you." Eijiro grinned.
"Well… we are twins." She reminded him.
Eijiro laughed. "Well, it does make sense."
Katsuki looked at the photo too, as well as others scattered around the room. She really is amazing… to go through so much and still smile when she talks about him.
"I need air." She got up and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Eijiro met Katsuki's gaze. "Are you alright?"
Katsuki nodded.
"I think we should go outside with her, if that's what she's planning."
"Yeah." He stood up and stretched. "Don't want her passing out."
"Hey… this is the first time you've been in a girl's room, isn't it?" Eijiro wriggled his brows. "That's why you're so quiet."
Katsuki looked away from his best friend. "She can hear you, y'know." He grumbled.
"How does it feel, though?" Eijiro whispered.
Katsuki frowned.
"Being in the girl you like's bedroom for the first time?" He smirked.
Katsuki hit the red-head on the head. "Shut up…" He growled. "I don't like her that way, so stop assuming!"
Eijiro snickered. "Just keep telling yourself that."
The sound of the bathroom door opening and closing made both boys jump and look around.
Kahoko wore black sweats and a grey t-shirt. She shoved some trainers on and stretched. "I'm going into the courtyard." She stated, grabbing her scarf and hoodie.
They both nodded and followed her out.
