Only a day had gone by in UA, but it felt like weeks, maybe even months.

After the whole incident with Bakugo being taken away from Izuku, and after Izuku showed his new attitude towards his old classmates and teachers, everyone was just extremely down. Classes were different seeing that Aizawa and All Might had to look after Bakugo, who had received treatment and now lied unconscious in Recovery Girls office.

Class was run by Midnight and Present Mic. They had both tried to liven things up and make 1-A feel better, but there efforts were pointless. Everyone sulked all day and was barely able to focus on the lessons. Their minds wondered off to their two friends, the one that was unconscious and the one that hated them. Half the class had put there heads down, hidden between there arms and there desk, while the other half tried to distract themselves by listening to Present Mic sing or scribbled in there books.

For Uraraka, she simply looked out of the classrooms window. She didn't look at anything in particular, her eyes wondered all around and landed on multiple items. She saw cars, birds, people, and even someone trying to catch a squirrel before it ran in the street, but everything and anything she saw didn't fully distract her from Izuku. She couldn't get his face out of her mind or how beserk he must've been going at the moment.

When she felt maybe a walk would help she sighed and raised her hand. "Could I use the restroom please?"

"Of course, take your time!" Midnight responded and continued on with her lecture to the best of her ability. She clearly wasn't used to teaching such depressed children.

Uraraka stood up and started for the door. She was soon going to pass Tenya at his desk, who had his head down and was clearly trying to mourn in peace. Uraraka patted him on his back before she left the classroom. Once she was out, she took a deep breath and headed down the hall for a quick lap.

On her walk she tried counting the tiles on the floor and naming every color she saw. It was actually helping clear her mind a bit. She didn't think about how Izuku was probably clawing at his cell right now or possibly screaming out Katsuki's name at the top of his lungs. She did her best to not think about how he said he hated her. Instead, she continued to count and think to herself everything would be okay.

However, Uraraka stopped when she realized she was now in the same hall that Recovery Girls office was located. Her heart began to race as she started to think about Katsuki. "Oh boy.." she mumbled to herself as all the emotions of sadness came rushing in. She knew she should've probably turned around and headed back to her class. She should've started counting the tiles and colors all over again.

But she didn't. Instead, she started to move right towards the nurse's office.

Uraraka's heart began to race and her legs became wobbly. She wasn't exactly sure she was ready for what she might see. What if when she looked threw the window, Katsuki looked like complete hell as he lied unconscious looking almost dead? What if he was awake but chained up because the antidote didn't work? What if it accidently killed him instead?

All of these thoughts scared her to death and her entire body began to shake as she crept closer to the door. "Please…please be okay." She whispered. Once she was right next to the door, she closed her eyes and pressed her hands against it. But before she could see anything, a voice called out to her.

"What are you doing out of class?" the voice asked steadily but Uraraka still jumped in shock. When she turned she saw it was her teacher Aizawa.

"Oh, I-I was…just…w-well I was taking a walk and then…and then," Uraraka trailed off and lowered her head. She balled her shirt up in her fist and didn't know what to do. She was so close to finding out Bakugo's status but now she was busy talking to the one person who thinks she favors Izuku's safety more than anyone else.

Uraraka didn't exactly know what to say and the hall remained quiet for a full minute before Aizawa broke the silence. "What are you doing out of class?" he asked again but just a little more firm.

Uraraka felt her heart drop and knew that he was probably going to tell her to go back. However, when she looked up at him there was something in Aizawa's eyes that made her think twice. It was like he was looking for a certain answer, an answer that would make him think twice about sending her back. Uraraka un-balled her fist and held her head up to speak.

"I need to know…" she spoke softly before gaining her voice back. "I need to know Katsuki's gonna be okay. It's scary, you know? Hearing everyone tell you it's gonna be okay, but you don't know that yourself for sure. I know he's in good hands, but I just need to see him."

Uraraka felt her eyes become watery. She thought she was done crying but she guessed not. She didn't say anything else, instead she lowered her head once again.

"Look."

Uraraka lifted her head really quick and her eyes widened. Did she hear him correct? Was Aizawa really giving her permission to know about Bakugo's status before anyone else? When he nudged his head in the direction of the door, Uraraka was scared but she wasted no time. She slowly turned towards the door and looked threw the glass.

Her eyes wondered the room as she looked for a specific person. She saw a bunch of the beds weren't occupied, but when she noticed one was her heart froze. She saw katsuki lying in bed. But he wasn't in bad shape, he wasn't chained to his bed, nor was he dead. Katsuki was simply sleeping with a well-rested look on his face. He looked just like regular bakugo.

This meant the antidote worked. Uraraka couldn't believe what she was seeing but she was beyond happy she was seeing it. She softly chuckled as tears rolled down her face. Katsuki was really okay.

"The antidote has completely made its way throughout his entire body and now he is stable. He hasn't woken up yet due to the sleep he was depriving himself, but Recovery Girl says he will be up tomorrow morning for sure." Aizawa says to Uraraka and she nods her head, still looking in the window.

Aizawa rubs his facial hair before speaking again. "Listen Uraraka, I apologize for assuming that you cared for izuku's health more than Katsuki's. I guess I wasn't thinking straight and I made a mistake, which doesn't really happen. I just felt-"

"Don't worry about it," Uraraka says as she turned to Aizawa. To his surprise, there is a bright warm smile on her face. Something no one has seen in a really long time. "I understand. I'm just glad he's okay. He's actually okay!"

Aizawa sighed in relief. "Yea, he really is."


At the end of the day, everyone seemed a bit more cheerful after Uraraka told them that Bakugo was okay, especially Kirishima. Once the last bell rung, all of class 1-A began to pack up there stuff to head home. As they packed, All Might walked in.

"Students!" He yelled loud enough to get there attention. "I hope you have a great rest of your day, but I need one of your assistance."

"I can help."

"Me too!"

"Same here."

There were offers left and right, but All Might only needed one student. As he looked around it became clear to everyone that the hero was looking for one specific student. Soon, he was found.

"Todoroki my boy!" All Might yelled and approached Shouto placing his hands on his shoulders. "I think you should be the one to help me."

Shouto was a bit surprised but he followed All Might like he was asked. As they walked down the hall they didn't speak. Todoroki didn't exactly know what All Might wanted help with, but when an idea came to his head he had hoped he was wrong. Soon, they found themselves walking down a certain flight of steps and Todoroki knew exactly where they were going and his guess was right.

Before opening the door, All Might paused and turned to Shouto. "My boy, the time has soon come for our Izuku to be healed. I've made one mistake, I won't make another."

"What do you mean?" Shouto asked. He knew All Might was referring to the fact that they picked Bakugo to heal before Izuku, but what did that have to do with him?

"Aizawa and I figured that we probably shouldn't see Izuku until he is all better. He might get triggered at the sight of us and he'll remember how we took bakugo. I don't exactly know what he will do if I walk in now."

Todoroki knew exactly what All Might was saying. He wouldn't want to go in either if he knew that his presence might create another tantrum. He felt a chill go up his spine as he remembered the look on Izuku's face when they first took bakugo from him. There was a look in his red eyes that Todoroki never wanted to see again. It was like genuine hatred for everyone in the room and it was hard for shouto to accept.

"What do you need me to do?" Todoroki asked with determination.

"There's some buttons and a lever I need you to push on the control panel in the room. It will open the vent in the back of Izuku's room. You will hear it open too; push the red button then green and wait for a minute. After a minute, push the green button again and then pull the lever. That's going to open the vent for sure and remember once you hear it, you know it's open."

"Got it. Understood." Todoroki responded and turned to the door. He reached to open it but then stopped and turned back to All Might. "All Might…why did you choose me?"

"You're really good at controlling your emotions at times Todoroki. You don't show them at all. I think that's best right now." All Might stated.

Todoroki didn't bother trying to figure out if it was a compliment or just a regular fact. He nodded to All Might and turned back to the door. He took a deep breath before opening it.

Todoroki peeked his head first in the room before entering his whole body. The control room was empty of course, and when he looked at Izuku, his back was to him. Izuku didn't seem to notice just yet that Shouto was in there. He was softly banging his head along the unbreakable glass. Todoroki tried to shut the door as quietly as possible.

'If I can get through this without making any sort of conact with him, that would be great.' He thought to himself. Unfortunately, as soon as the door completely closed, the click of the doorknob made Izuku's ears move. 'Shit.' Shouto said to himself and stood still.

Slowly, Izuku turned his head around and Shouto held his breath. Once there eyes met, todoroki started to regret being picked for this job. Izuku once again looked like he was ready to murder but this time he managed to somehow look even worse. His hair was a complete mess and it seemed like it was darker than its usual green. He wouldn't stop tapping his foot on the ground and he did the same with his finger. Shouto's wish from earlier didn't come true, because as he looked Izuku in his eyes he saw how angry the boy really was.

"Where is he" Izuku suddenly asked, his voice darker than ever. Shouto was a bit taken aback by the question. He knew he was talking about Katsuki, but was he allowed to talk to Izuku and give him information? All Might didn't give him instructions on what to do if he started talking. "WHERE…" Izuku's voice went up.

"He's safe." Todoroki decided it was best to talk back seeing that Izuku might get worked up. "We've…we've cured him."

At this Izuku stood up and chuckled. "Bullshit, you can't cure him because there is nothing wrong with him, or me." Izuku began to laugh again and it was starting to creep todoroki out. He began to make his move and do what he came to do. As he walked towards the panel Izuku continued to talk. "I bet you guys think you got us all figured out, well you don't. The minute Katsuki wakes up he's gonna cause hell and then come back for me."

"That's not going to happen, Midoriya." Todoroki pushed the red and green button on the panel. He stepped back and looked at his friend. "You think this is you right now, but it's not."

"Haha! Typical fucking shouto, always think you know everything." Izuku chuckled and rubbed his face and tired eyes. It was clear he wasn't sleeping much. "You always were a real sport when we were in class together, I've always liked you."

Shouto stayed quiet, he didn't like where this conversation was going. But izuku continued to talk. "Is that why you took Katsuki from me? Were you…jealous?!"

Todoroki winced and looked at izuku, who had a wide smile across his face that he was pressing against the glass to get as close to Shouto as possible. Izuku was entering a sensitive topic for Todoroki. He didn't mess with anyones feelings so he didn't like when people messed with his. "No." he stated firmly.

"Awww, I bet you were! Poor Todoroki, left out of Izuku's fun! Instead of you being my partner, I chose Bakugo."

"Enough already." Todoroki did his best to remain calm as the minute passed.

"Why? Am I bothering you Shouto? Does the truth hurt that much?!"

"I'm warning you Midoriya." Shouto's voice risen a bit and he gritted his teeth.

"I'm not scared of your little fuckign warning Todoroki, I know that I'm touching the most sensitive part in your heart. I bet your-"

"Shut up!" Todoroki yelled and walked quickly over to izuku's cell. "Just shut it already!"

"Why don't you come in here and fucking make me." Izuku's happy face was quickly gone and his tone was dark once more. Todoroki knew that he was just trying to make him upset so that he'd either enter the cell or let izuku out, thinking they were going to fight.

"Listen to me," Todoroki pointed at Izuku threw the glass. "You should know I'm not dumb enough to fall for your little games. Katsuki was already healed whether you believe it or not. I hate this version of you, but I'm also smart enough to know it's not your fault. So just shut your mouth and talk to me like you used to when you get better."

Izuku was silent for a moment. He just stared at Todoroki with a blank expression, as if everything he said just went in one ear and out the other. Finally he tilted his head, but kept the same expression. "Love you too."

"Tch" Todoroki turned back to the panel and pushed the green button once more. 'Don't say things like that, idiot!' He thought to himself.

Todoroki pulled the lever on the side of the panel and was just about ready to get out of here, all he had to do was wait for the sound of the vent to open. He assumed this was how they were going to get izuku to go to sleep next. After a couple of seconds there was still no sound so, he waited a little more.

After a full minute had passed, Todoroki knew there was something wrong. He had followed All Might's instructions perfectly, but the vent made no indication that it was open.

Suddenly, Izuku giggled softly. "Something wrong?"

Todoroki turned to him and saw another evil smile across Izuku's face. He then knew Izuku did something he wasn't supposed to. "What did you do?"

"I simply made sure that if I'm gonna get out of here, someone's gonna die in the process." Shouto came closer to the glass to search for the vent. When his eyes rested on it in the corner of the room, they widened. The vent was real busted up and it seemed to be closed all together. Izuku had purposely destroyed it. "The only way you're gonna get me, is by coming threw that secret door."

Izuku smiled harder and then laughed like a maniac when he saw the look on Shouto's face. "Ah, shit." He mumbled to himself. Quickly without another word, Todoroki turned and exited the room to inform All Might what Izuku had done.
