-hands out tissues-
Izuku felt a weight on her stomach, and struggled to open up her eyes. When they light hit them, the blurry sight of her ceiling could be seen. She strained her eyes a bit as the tiles came into focus, and she turned her head a bit to look at her alarm clock. She was shocked to say the least, as she saw that it was midday. The sun was streaming in through the cracks of her curtains, lighting her dorm room as she looked around at the familiar surrounding. The last thing she remembered were her friends all worried about her as she lay on the couch... She felt her chest tighten in pain as she thought about last night... It was a blur, one minute they were having fun, then she went to get some snacks with Tokoyami... Then she was in a dark park... She remembered those golden eyes staring at her like she was a meal and she ground her teeth together as she lifted her hand to her face. She had a bit of a headache but there was no more splitting pain or dizziness... She ran her fingers down to her neck and felt bandages wrapped around it.
Tears started to burn in her eyes and she bit back a sob. She had been so terrified and powerless... She should have been able to do something but in the end she had to be rescued... She put her arm over her eyes and felt her tears drip down her cheeks onto her pillow as she took a shuddering breath. "So stupid..." She told herself, before she felt the weight on her stomach shift. She moved her arm back as what ever it was lifted off of her, and her eyes widened as she looked into the sleepy eyes of Katsuki. She saw dark circles under them and her own surprise mirrored in his. "... Kacchan...?"
"Izu..." She watched as he sat up fully beside her bed and looked down at her with concern. "Are you okay? Is your head alright...?"
"It's better..." She told him as she pushed herself up. She smiled at him as he went to help her, but she put a hand on his arm as she sat up on her bed. "I'm okay... I can sit." She told him, and looked down at herself. "Who...?" She saw her clothes had been changed for her as she wore a t-shirt and pj shorts.
"Roun- Uraraka..." Katsuki looked at her worriedly as she pulled at the shirt, before looking at him. "... She changed you with Yaoyorozu... After Recovery girl healed you... Classes started today but..." She looked over at him as he bowed his head. She looked down at his hands which were clenched into fists on his knee's. "... I didn't want you to wake up alone... I... Fuck, Izu I'm so sorry...! This is all my fucking fault, you shouldn't have... you were... That fucking-"
"Katsuki..." She called his name softly and he looked up at her, a look of frustration, anger and sadness on his face. She felt her chest ache as she reached out her hand and placed it on one of his fists. "... It's not your fault, you're not to blame..."
"How am I not to blame?!" He shouted at her and she flinched a bit from the volume. "I saw you leave, I should have gone with you instead! And if I wasn't still upset with you, you wouldn't have fallen for that ass holes bull shit!" She felt his hand turn under hers before he clasped hers with both of his. He gripped them gently, and she looked back up at him. He was grinding his teeth together in anger as he looked down at her hand in his, the ring catching the little bit of light in the emerald. "... This is my fucking fault..."
"Not it's not..." She put her other hand on top of his and he looked up at her. "It's not your fault... I knew something was off about that guy at the exam... I knew something was off when he approached me looking like you... I should have trusted my gut, this is just..." She looked down at their hands. "... You had a right to be upset with me... I should have said something to an examiner... But this guy, he's a villain... Hes with that Shigaraki... Shit!" She looked up in realization. "I need to talk to sensei! They have to know!"
"You're not going running around right now." Katsuki told her firmly and she looked into his eyes as he looked at her seriously. "I'll call Sensei here for you, he wanted to know when you woke up anyways... Recovery girl too..." Katsuki looked down at her fingers in his and brought them up to his lips before he kissed them. "You need to rest right now, alright...?" He looked up at her again, and she felt her cheeks get a little hot.
"I'm alright, I can-" She watched as his eyes narrowed at her.
"You're not alright, you were attacked by some pervert villain." He told her, and Izuku looked down in shame.
"... He..." Izuku felt her tears burn in her eyes and she kept her gaze averted. "... I... I was... I couldn't do anything..." A sob burned in her throat and she felt his hands grip hers tightly. "He kept me pinned... I couldn't... I couldn't use my quirks... Every time I tried he slammed my head...!" her tears flowed down her cheeks as she leaned forwards, crying. "He kissed me and bit me... I was so scared...!" She felt Katsuki let go of her hands before his arms wrapped around her tightly. She cried into his chest as she gripped his shirt. "I was so scared! I couldn't do anything! I should have captured him! Why couldn't I do anything?!"
"Izu, calm down..." Katsuki's voice was soothing, reminding her she was safe now.
"It's my fault he got away!" She cried out into his shoulder, "It's my fault! How did I get a license when I can't even protect myself?! I let him get away, and there was nothing I could do!"
"Izu." she heard the firm tone in Katsuki's voice, and he looked down at her, his fingers touched her cheek and she felt his soft lips kiss her cheek. She could feel his thumbs clearing her tears away before he kissed her cheek again. "Stop... It's not your fault, you're not to blame for him getting away. He cornered you, you can't blame yourself for that..." She felt his lips brush her cheeks over and over again as she tried to stop her crying. "You got a license because you're strong and brave..."
"Then why couldn't I do anything then?!" She asked him, gripping his shirt tightly as she clenched her eyes shut, a few more tears escaping but were quickly wiped away by his fingers.
"He hurt you Izu... He knew your weakness and exploited it..." She opened up her eyes to look up at him, and she saw a bit of pain in his gaze. "... I just wish... that I wasn't a weakness for you..."
"Kacchan..." she looked up at him as she saw him look away in frustration. "You're not...! He just looked like you...!"
"He used my appearance to get to you..." She saw him grind his teeth together in anger.
"Please... don't think that way..." She gripped his arm now.
"How can I not?!" he looked back at her now and put a hand on hers. "... Izuku... You can't be so trusting like that, it's going to get you killed... I'm going to get you killed..." He looked down and Izuku felt his body tremble in anger. "How many times are you going to blindly run into danger because of me?!"
"I don't care how many times!" She shouted at him and he looked up at her in surprise. "I love you, idiot! Don't you dare call yourself my weakness because you're my strength!" She gripped his arm tightly, her own body trembling with anger. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have you! My dream was always to become a hero with you!" She looked into his shocked eyes as she felt more tears roll down her cheeks. "So don't... don't say hurtful things like that..."
"Izuku..." He stared at her with surprised eyes as she poured her heart out to him.
"I would run into a collapsing building if you were in there..." She saw pain in his eyes now, and she gripped his arm tightly, and reached out her other hand to touch his cheek. "Because I know you'd do the same for me..."
"Of course I would!" He snapped at her, and stopped for a second as he realized what she meant the second she smiled at him.
"... So do you think I'm a weakness...?" She asked him, and she saw him shake his head. She smiled warmly at him, before she drew her hand back from his face. "... That guy can only turn into others if he has their blood... But we don't know the specifics down to how long or how many times... We just need to be more careful... I don't ever want to be suspicious of you, or treat you like a threat every time I see you... We need some kind of code so we always know right away..."
"... These..." He touched her bracelet, and she looked to her wrist, before looking up at his eyes. "... You never take it off... and there's only one like it..." He looked down and Izuku followed his gaze to look at his right wrist, seeing the matching bracelet. The paint was not nearly as worn as hers, but he turned the plate over to show her, her own name carved into the metal. "... I'll wear mine until we defeat that Villain Alliance... So that you know you're always safe with me..."
"Katsuki..." She smiled up at him warmly and she saw his eyes look back at her. "... I always know I'm safe with you..."
"Idiot..." He looked back at her with a seriousness in his eyes as he touched her cheeks with his fingers. "Don't be so trusting, because I'd eat you in a heart beat..." He told her, before he kissed her lips. She felt her cheeks heat up in that moment as she felt the passion in the kiss. Her eyes fluttered shut as she enjoyed the gentle touch from his fingers as he pulled her to him with his other hand. She gripped his shirt with her fingers tightly, before she felt him push her back onto the bed. Their lips parted, and she looked into his eyes again, feeling her breath catch in her throat as he stared at her with those ruby red eyes of his... How she loved that color...
"Kacchan..." She felt her heart pounding in her chest as she looked at him, her cheeks growing hotter as he stroked her cheek with his fingers so gently. She could feel how calloused his finger tips were, a sign of his hard work... She watched as his eyes looked to the side. "K-Kacchan...? What's wrong..?"
"... How's a guy supposed to do anything with all this All Might crap staring at me...?" He asked with a nervous seat on his cheek and she looked over at her All Might alarm clock, then up at the posters. "Ruins the mood..."
"Hah..." she let out a laugh as he sat up and ran his hands through his hair in frustration and anger as he tipped an All Might figure onto it's face. He looked back her with an annoyed look as she continued to let out a soft laugh. "S-Sorry... But I like all of it..."
"Fine then, we'll just do stuff in my room..." He looked back at the All Might poster that was giving a thumbs up and he glared at it. "I don't need that guy watching me make out with you and fuck yo-"
"KACCHAN?!" Izuku's whole body turned a bright red as he spoke and he looked down at her with raised eyebrows. "WH-WHA...! D-D-DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE... STUFF LIKE... THAT!" she cried out in horror as she looked away from him.
"Like what..?" He asked her, before a hungry grin spread across his face as he watched her turn a brighter red all over. "Poor choice of words I guess... How about sex?" He asked her and she shook her head violently back and forth before putting her hands on her face. "Fine then..." He leaned over her, his hands on either side of her waist as he leaned in close to her ear. "I don't want him watching me as I make love to you..." His low voice sent shivers up and down her spine of excitement, and she looked at him, feeling dizzy and hot as he stared at her with hungry serious eyes. "Your face of pleasure is mine alone to look at..."
"KACCHAAAAAN! STOOOOOOOP!" she cried out in horror and felt her face get even hotter as the room spun around. She wobbled to the side and tumbled off the bed, but he grabbed her by the arm before she hit the floor. She felt her head spinning s indecent thoughts swirled through her mind while he pulled her back up onto the bed and lay her back down. "Uuuwaaaaah..." She looked up at him, thoroughly embarrassed but he was chuckling and looking down at her as he pulled the blanket up to her shoulders.
"Moron... Getting so embarrassed..." He smiled down at her before he got up and went to her fridge. He pulled out a bottle of water and walked back over to her, before placing the cool bottom of it to her forehead. She sighed out in relief, closing her eyes as she felt it cool down her hot head. "I'm going to go call recovery girl now, alright? Stay here in bed." He told her and she looked up at him and nodded her head. "Alright, I'll be back." He turned to leave the room, and she watched him as he opened her door.
"K-Kacchan..." She called out his name softly, feeling a bit nervous as she watched him about to leave. He stopped and looked back at her worriedly for a second. "... H-Hurry back... please..." She couldn't stop herself from, asking but was glad she did as she watched with widening eyes as he smiled back at her softly.
"I will," He told her simply before he left the room. She felt her heart pounding in her chest and her cheeks flush again. She hadn't seen such a smile from him in what felt like forever... That was definitely a killer smile that would pierce any girls heart with an arrow. She looked over at her phone on her bed side table. She reached out to pick it up and she looked at it as she rolled over onto her side. She saw messages from just about everyone telling her to get better, that they were worried for her and to make sure she ate some lunch. She had a warm feeling in her chest as she opened up the class group chat.
Thank you everyone, I'm alright!
Have fun in class for me and let me know what happened!
I'm excited to eat dinner with everyone later!
She set her phone back down and let out a sigh as she rolled onto her back again and looked up at the ceiling, before glancing at her posters. She wondered if All Might was worried about her too as she looked into his posters eyes.
"IZUKUUUUUUU!" Her door banged open loudly and she shot up in her bed straight as a board as she looked at who entered so loudly. She saw the worried face of All Might and felt nervous as he entered the room hurriedly. "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?! IF ONLY I HAD POWER STILL, THEN I WOULD SMASH APART THE WHOLE CITY FOR THAT BASTARD WHO HURT YOU GAAAAAAAAH-"
"ALL MIGHT?!" She cried out in horror as blood spurted from the former hero's mouth and she scrambled to grab tissues for him.
"WOULD YOU STOP SHOUTING?!" She heard two voices shout from the door way and she looked over to see Katsuki and Recovery girl shouting at All Might for making such a ruckus.
"Wha-wha... What's All Might doing here?!" Izuku cried out as she scrambled to try and hide the embarrassing amount of All Might merch she had in her room, but knew it would be faster to just burn it down.
"Sensei was busy with class..." Katsuki said with a growl in his throat as he looked at All Might who was forced to take a seat in her desk chair by Recovery girl as he cleaned his mouth off. "So He came with us instead... More like ran ahead..."
"All Might, you need to be quiet when visiting a paitent!" Recovery girl smacked the bigger man on the head with her cane and he groaned as he looked down at his knee's.
"My apologies, but I have been worried since I heard what happened last night." He looked up at Izuku who was sweating nervously as all three of them looked at her. "But we do not know the full details... We made a report to the police that a student was attacked, Tsukauchi has people out everywhere analyzing the scene of the incident, he'd like to speak with you to get your full account..."
"Uhm..." Izuku looked down at her knees and gripped her blankets with her fingers. "Did you... Did you tell my Mom...?"
"I did..." All Might clasped his hands together as he looked at her. "I told her you had a concussion from the incident... She was very worried and would like you to call her..." Izuku looked over at him nervously, but he smiled back at her to help ease her worry. "She let me have it, saying a young girl shouldn't go out at night in a big city. She's right of course, and you are never to do that again."
"Yes..." Izuku looked down at her legs.
"HEY! You're not her fucking father!" Katsuki snapped at All Might but the man got up and walked over to her. She looked up at Katsuki, then up at All Might before he wrapped his long arms around her and hugged her tightly around the shoulders.
"... A-All Might...?" Izuku was shocked and she looked over at the other two in the room. Katsuki looked more surprised than her, but Recovery Girl was smiling warmly at the scene.
"Izuku... I am very proud of you for getting your license, but please use caution out there..." He let go of her and looked down at her. "Your mother told me she isn't going to pull you out of school... What happened was a strange incident, but we are going to find that boy and put him away..."
Izuku looked up at her Hero who had his hands on her shoulders. Tears started pouring down her cheeks as she looked up at him and he let go of her in shock.
"LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID! YOU MADE HER FUCKING CRY!" Katsuki snapped in anger and All Might looked back at him before looking back down at Izuku worriedly as tears continued to pour down her cheeks.
"WAAAAH! IZUKU, MY DEAR GIRL, WHY ARE YOU CRYING?!" He asked her in a panic and Izuku touched her cheeks with her fingers and wiped at the tears with them in confusion.
"I uhm... I dunno..." She said as she tried to stop them. All Might looked back at recovery girl, his hands waving around worriedly.
"Is she still hurt?! Is it psychological?! What is going on?!" He asked in a hurried tone and Katsuki went to step past him to head to Izuku but Recovery Girl swung her cane out and took them both off their feet and they hit her floor with a thud.
"Would all the loud people in the room, please leave...?!" She looked down at them both with a dark glare and the two males both left the room out of fear, the door closing with a click behind them. Recovery Girl turned to look over at Izuku who was finally getting her tears under control. "Midoriya, how long has your father been gone...?"
"Uhm... s-since I was 4 I guess..." Izuku said looking down at the older woman as she pushed the chair over to the side of her bed. She blinked in confusion as the woman sat on it and looked up at her with a smile. "Why...?"
"So it's been a long time since you received fatherly love..." The woman reached up and started to remove the bandages around Izuku's neck for her. "My, a nasty wound..." She shook her head with a tsk.
"F-f-fatherly love...?" Izuku asked in confusion and her whole face went red. "F-FROM ALL MIGHT?!"
"Not all father's are biological... Some men step up to the empty plate." The woman looked up at her and smiled. "It's okay to hold him in regard as a fatherly figure, dear girl."
"W-W-W-WHAAAA?!" Izuku shook her head. "H-He's my hero! I look up to him! He's always there for me and he helped me get into Yuuei I..." She stopped as she felt the tip of the cane poke her in the forehead and she looked at the woman.
"Think about what you said just now..." the woman said with a patient look on her face. Izuku looked down at her knees. From all the shows and books she read, fathers were always there for their children, lifting them up when fallen, helping them grow. She felt her whole face go red again and she looked down at Recovery girl. "Smart girl, but no worries... Toshinori is slow in the head. It's okay to hold him in those respects, I'm sure he'd be delighted if he knew anyways. Now come here," the woman placed a big kiss on Izuku's cheek and she fell back onto her pillow and felt her head spin with tiredness. "There we are... You shouldn't have a scar from that, I gave it my full attention." Ixuku touched her neck with her fingers, and felt no bumps or raised skin. "Speaking of which, I brought you some cream to treat the appearance of your scars..." she placed a jar on the night stand and Izuku looked at it curiously. "Just use it like hand cream if you like, it should help bring down the coloring."
"Thank you." Izuku looked at Recovery girl and smiled warmly at her. "You're always helping me the most..."
"And don't you forget it!" The woman said with a wide grin. "I have healed all your physical wounds, but if you ever need to talk and understand some things, I'm more than willing to listen."
Izuku nodded her head and Recovery girl got down from the chair and went to the door. She opened it up and Izuku could see a nervous All Might standing there with an angry Katsuki.
"Now, if you boys want back in here, watch your volume." The woman pointed her cane at them and All Might smiled at her.
"Yes, sorry." He said with a nod before entering the room again and looked at the tired Izuku on her bed. "Izuku... I'm going to call Tsukauchi here so he can take down your incident in full detail."
"Alright," Izuku smiled up at her Hero warmly. "Thank you, All Might..."
"Izuku..." the man looked down at her sadly, "... I've done nothing for you to thank me..."
"You worried about me..." Izuku closed her eyes tiredly and let out a sigh. "That means more to me than you think..." she said lazily before she drifted back off into sleep.
An hour later she was gently woken up by Katsuki who was still at her bed side. He helped her sit up as she spoke to All Might's friend on the police force, Tsukauchi. She gave him every last detail she could, before the man bowed to her and left her room. Izuku let out a tired sigh, before looking over at Katsuki who took a seat in the desk chair next to her bed again.
"... It's almost time for everyone to come back..." Izuku looked at her clock, seeing that there was still a half hour till everyone returned.
"Yeah, then it's going to get rowdy in here..." Katsuki grumbled out and Izuku let out a soft laugh as she looked up at him.
"I want to greet them properly, not stuck here in bed... I'm feeling alright now." She felt a nervous sweat as Katsuki narrowed his eyes at her. "Really, I'm tired of just being in bed..."
"Fine..." Katsuki stood up with a grunt and looked at her. "I'll go make you something to eat, you should call Inko-san first..." He told her, pointing at her cell phone. "Then come down and eat."
"Alright," Izuku beamed up at him and he turned with a grumble and left the room. Izuku picked up her cell phone and looked at it nervously before she phone her mother.
"Izuku?! Oh my god are you alright?!"
"Mom I'm perfectly fine..." Izuku laughed softly as she heard the slight worry in her mothers voice. She supposed All Might must have spoken to her after she woke up too, for she imagined an ear piercing cry from the woman. "No scars or anything, I promise."
"Really... I was very worried when All Might phone me, but he assured me you were alright... Please don't be so reckless..."
"I'm sorry, mom..." Izuku said with a sigh, "Really, I promise I'll be more careful."
"Alright..." She could hear a sigh from her mother over the phone and Izuku let out a small laugh. "By the way, I got your message yesterday. I'm so proud of you for getting your license! Just don't go looking for danger, alright?"
"Yes mom..." Izuku said her good byes before she hung up her phone. She looked at it for a second, before looking up at the ceiling in confusion. She wondered just how in touch All Might and her mother was, and felt a nervous sweat on her cheek as she remembered what Recovery Girl said earlier. She got up out of her bed, and opened her drawers up. She pulled her All Might hoodie out that she had gotten for her birthday and pulled it on before she left her bedroom and made her way down stairs. She could smell cooking in the kitchen and she walked in, looking up at Katsuki who was finishing up making her something to eat. "What did you make...?" She asked curiously as she sat down at a table and he looked over at her.
"... Katsudon." He said simply as he put the food in the bowl and placed it in front of her. Izuku felt her mouth water at the sight of her favourite dish and she took the fork from him as he handed it to her. "Stop drooling and just eat." She didn't wait for him to finish speaking before she shoved some into her mouth and she smiled brightly as she chewed in swallowed.
"My favourite! Thank you!" she told him with a big grin and he sighed out before gently tapping his fist on the top of her head.
"I know that, idiot..." He told her as he went to clean up. She watched him as she ate, and wondered for a second.
"How did you know that...?" She asked curiously, looking back at her food. It was cooked perfectly and she took another bite.
"Because You get it every time you have the option." Katsuki said with a shrug. "Don't understand why though, such a plain dish..."
"Hmm..." Izuku thought about that, "I think it's because it's the first thing I ate at your house when we first became friends..." She smiled as she took another bite and swallowed happily. "And cause it's got Katsu from Katsuki in it!" She jumped a bit as she heard something metal snap and she looked over at him worriedly as she saw him holding a pan in both hands, except the handle was snapped off of it...
"Idiot! That's a stupid reason to like something!" He shouted over his shoulder at her but she could see the slight blush on his cheeks. She giggled a bit as he threw the pan out in the bin before he finished washing the dishes. Izuku finished up the meal he made for her, and stood up to bring her bowl to the sink. He snatched it from her hands with a growl, and she laughed a bit again before she heard the dorm building's front door smash open and a clattering of feet. Izuku leaned over the kitchen island to look at the door, and saw the entire class spilling into the entrance, falling on top of one another, before they all made a run for the elevator.
"IZUKU! WE'RE HOME! WE'RE COMING!" Uraraka was leading the charge as she smashed her finger on the up button of the elevator.
"We shouldn't all be visiting at once!" Iida shouted over the crowd, but he seemed to be vibrating with a strong need to go greet her.
"IDIOT! WHO CARES?!" Kirishima shouted over the others.
"You want to see her just as badly as the rest of us!" Kaminari shouted out next.
"I hope she's awake!" Ashido cried out.
"I hope she likes the cake from the cafeteria!" Yaoyorozu cried out as she held a box above her head so it wouldn't get crushed.
"Yeah I like it." Izuku said with a smile from behind the group and she watched as they all stopped shouting and pushing to turn and look at her. She smiled nervously at them as they all stayed silent for a moment. "Uhm... Welcome back, everyone?" She asked curiously as they all stared at her with wide eyes.
"IZUUUUUUCHAAAAAAAAN!" Uraraka burst into tears as she pushed past everyone else and dove at Izuku. The green haired girl laughed as she caught her friend in a hug and they went falling back before the both of them floated in the air. "WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU ALL DAY! DON'T YOU SCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Izuku felt bad as Uraraka sobbed into her shoulder as they floated upside down now.
"I'm so sorry..." She hugged her friend tightly as Uraraka continued to cry out all her worries. She looked over at the others as the girls came running, tears all in their eyes as they pull the girls down from the air and hugged them as well. Izuku smiled sadly as she saw them all crying out their worries, and hugged each girl tightly.
"Us too..." Sero sobbed out with Kaminari as they approached with Iida and Kirishima. Izuku looked over at them after Uraraka released her quirk. She smiled at them all, and threw her arms around the two boys that were crying and hugged them tightly, before she looked up at Iida and Kirishima.
"You really know how to make people worry," Iida said with a serious tone as he avoided looking at her. She saw his arms shaking and she smiled sadly.
"I'm really sorry, Iida... I could hear you there too..." She looked up at him and saw he was now sporting tears in his eyes. "I promise to do my best to not make you worry..." She moved to hug him, but he picked her up in a crushing hug and his tears spouted everywhere.
"REALLY! I AM IN CHARGE OF EVERYONES SAFETY! BUT I AM GLAD YOU ARE SAFE!" He shouted out and Izuku swore she felt her spine crack a bit from the tight hug. She let out a strained laugh before she looked to Kirishima. He was frowning at her as Iida set her down and she took a deep breath.
"I know you were there too, Eijichan... I'm so sorry!" She threw her arms out in the air and she saw the tough look on the boys face crack as he threw his arms around her middle and hugged her tightly. Izuku hugged him back, and felt a few tears start to fall down her cheeks.
"Idiot... You don't have to be so manly all the time!" She heard him biting back tears as he hugged her before letting her go. "There's a limit to everyone's manliness!"
Izuku laughed a bit, and looked at the rest of the class. She saw Tokoyami was looking especially upset and she approached him next. "Tokoyami... I'm sorry, my actions were silly..."
"No, I should have sensed something wrong..." Tokoyami looked down at her sadly, and Izuku shook her head.
"No, It was hard to tell, even for me... Please don't feel bad... I'm so sorry if I worried you or made you upset..." She looked up at her friend who pulled her into a tight hug. She smiled as she hugged him back.
She went around to the others, apologizing to each one of them. The last was Todoroki who was giving her a stern gaze from the back of the group. She smiled at him nervously and could feel the cold rolling off his right side. "Shouchan... I'm so sorry... I know you came to save me too... But I lost the GPS..." She looked down at her feet.
"What matters is that you used it..." She looked up as he looked at her. "I'm just glad you had it with you and used it to let us know where you were. You had us all in a panic you know." She looked down at her feet in shame.
"Hey!" She heard Katsuki snap behind her. "Don't fucking try and make her feel bad! She was fucking attacked you asshole!"
"I'm so sor-" Izuku fet tears burning in her eyes as she went to apologize, before she felt hands wrap around her arms and pull her. She looked up as Todoroki wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tighter than the rest of her friends. She felt her cheeks get hot as he crushed her against his chest, and felt his forehead on her shoulder. "Sh-Shouchan...?!" She was surprised at the force he was using.
"Don't apologize any more!" He shouted and she went silent. "... Stop apologizing, it's not your fault this happened, no one is mad at you..."
"B-But I made you all worry.." Izuku said nervously, feeling her tears burn in her eyes. "All I do is make you all worry...!"
"We worry because we care!" He let go of her and looked her in the eyes. "We worry because we're your friends, Izuku... You devalue yourself by telling us you're sorry..." She was stunned by the serious look in his eyes, and she felt her nerves twisting in her stomach, before she looked at the others. "... What happened wasn't your fault. You don't need to apologize for getting hurt, you don't need to apologize for making us worry... We just wanted to see you smiling again."
"But..." Izuku felt her tears in her eyes burn more as they fell down her cheeks. "I... I just made you all come running... We just got our licenses and yet I went and got messed up by a villain and made you all panic..."
"You'd do the same thing for any of us!" The whole class was stunned into silence as they looked over at the every silent Kouda who was bawling his eyes out. "You'd come running for any of us! You wouldn't think twice, you'd panic too, and when you would arrive you would tell us it's all right! You would smile to make us feel better and tell us everything is okay and not to worry anymore! You would make us feel better!" Kouda sobbed out and put his hands on his face as he cried. Sato who was next to him patted his shoulder gently to calm him down. "We want to do the same for you!"
"Kouda is right..." Shouji looked down at Izuku who was still shocked by Kouda's sudden outburst like the rest of the class. "... Would you apologize to All Might for saving you?" Izuku thought about that... He had saved her once... He always said not to worry... he always grinned and made you feel better... "We don't want you to feel bad for being saved, Midoriya. We want you to be happy that you are safe..."
"... Everyone..." Izuku sobbed loudly as her tears poured down her cheeks. She clenched her fists tightly, how could she be so stupid...? She wouldn't want some one to say sorry to her because she had to save them... She just wanted them to feel safe, and happy... "THANK YOU FOR WORRYING ABOUT ME! I'M ALRIGHT!" She sobbed out loudly and felt the others come crashing in as they ran to her and hugged her tightly. She could hear others sobbing in the mass hug as they crushed her, but she didn't care. She felt Uraraka press her cheek to hers as the girls sobbed out loudly while others ruffled their hair.
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH SOBBING!" Katsuki shouted from behind the group as he pushed his way through to the middle and saw Izuku being crushed between Uraraka and Todoroki. He growled out as he grabbed Izuku around the middle and lifted her high up into the air above the rest. "She's still recovering, alright?! So enough fucking sobbing and go get some fucking dinner!" He shouted at the rest of the class.
"NOT FAIR!" Uraraka shouted up at Katsuki, "Why are you acting so tough! You were the one who was worried the most!"
"YEAH, I WAS." He snapped in anger, "But this is enough crying! She's safe and she's here at home! Now go get some fucking food and then you can all continue this fucking sob fest after dinner!" He shouted.
"Whaaaaa!" Sero burst out laughing with Kaminari loudly. "When did Bakubro get to be such a good guy?!"
"I WAS ALWAYS A GOOD GUY YOU DIPSHITS!" Katsuki shouted as he set Izuku down while the others headed into the kitchen, he ran after them as the ran away from him laughing.
"Haa..." Izuku laughed as she watched and wiped at the tears on her cheeks. She was about to go join them before the dorm's entrance banged open and she felt a cold glare on the back of her head. She turned her head around slowly to look at a very angry Aizawa who was glaring at her. She fear out won her laughter at his hair pulled back into a tight man bun.
"MIIIIIDOOOORIIIIIIYAAAAAA." She turned to run away before he stormed towards her and clapped a hand down on her head and forced her to look back at him. She was shaking with fear as she saw the anger in her sensei's eyes.
"I-I'M ALRIGHT!" She shouted in a panic and held up her hands to stop him. "THANK YOU FOR WORRYING ABOUT ME!"
"Ah..!" She saw the look of anger soften in her teachers eyes, and made a mental note to thank everyone later. "... You are going to give me heart burn, you know! Now... I came here to yell some sense into you, but I see that has already been done... So instead I want you to take one more day off."
"B-But I don't want to miss class...!" Izuku said with a frown as she looked up at her sensei.
"I will make sure some one brings you back lesson notes for the two days." He told her with a frown. "Your mental health is important... You need to be healthy to use your quirk."
"... 50% Mental..." Izuku said with a realization, and she looked down at her feet. "... Alright, thank you Sensei..."
"Sheesh..." Aizawa let out an angry sigh before he patted her on the head. "If you get it, then go get some rest. I'll see you the day after tomorrow."
"Yes.." She bowed her head to him, before looking up at him with a smile. She watched their sensei leave the dorms, before she went to the kitchen to join the rest of the class as they ate happily. She spent the evening with them all, the class having settled on having a quiet movie note. She was surrounded on all sides, Uraraka was hugging her right arm and Asui leaned up against her left. She smiled to herself as she leaned back against the couch as she sat on the ground, and looked up at Katsuki who was sitting behind her. She reached up with her left hand to touch his fingers and hold his hand before she looked back at the TV. Her eyes drooped as she watched, feeling safe and tired from what felt like a long day, she let herself fall asleep surrounded by her friends, a smile on her face.
