The next day in UA was pretty quiet. Everyone attended classes as they were supposed to and the teachers continued to teach. Izuku was still unconscious but was expected to wake up fully cured by the next morning. Recovery Girl even gave him extra nutrients to make sure he really didn't damage anything like his throat with all the yelling he was doing. As she took care of him, life moved on simply because it had to. All everyone could do was wait.

But not everyone was able to stay calm as they waited. Katsuki, for instance, was having a lot of trouble. It was clear that his friends and classmates were happy to have him back, but it was also clear that he wanted is space, so they gave it to him. A lot of them knew he was thinking about Izuku, and they were right.

Katsuki was barely able to focus on anything besides Izuku and his final words. As unlikely as it seemed, bakugo was very scared to see how Izuku would act towards him when he woke up. Would he hate him for tricking him? Would he be mad at him and blame the whole situation on him? What if he wanted to go back to the way things were and pretend like nothing ever happened? As the thoughts filled his head, he became more upset as time passed.

He didn't know what to do, he really didn't.

Later that day, Uraraka and Tenya found themselves walking throughout the school to give out some papers Aizawa asked them to give. As they walked, they could tell that things were slowly picking up at UA as well as everyone's moods including their own.

"You know, you were pretty brave." Tenya tells Uraraka and he smiles when her cheeks go pink.

"Why you say that?!" she asked.

"Well, first your best friend gets hit by a quirk and then he states that he hates you," Tenya states the obvious. "It was taking him a while to get better and seemed to only get worse, but you held it together and stayed strong, you know? You didn't give up all together or on our classmates, and I think that was pretty amazing of you."

Uraraka stares at Tenya for a moment with wide eyes. She can't believe that Tenya had said all of this to her, let alone noticed all of it. It meant a lot. "Thanks Iida, really. But I wasn't alone, I had you guys! And I knew that we'd get the boys back because you believed we would, so thank you."

Tenya chuckled. "I'm always happy to help."

Uraraka giggled but as they passed the schools library, she stopped. As she glanced threw the window she caught a quick glance of someone with sandy blonde hair. When she got a better look, she saw Bakugo just sitting at a desk, staring out the window. "I think someone else needs our help now." Uraraka states and shows Tenya what she sees.

Tenya sighs but nods his head and they both walk into the library. They look around and see that not many people were in it except for Katsuki. When they walk over to him, he looks up at them but turns away.

"Hey." Uraraka says cheerfully. Both Tenya and herself smile at him and he grunts in response.

"It looks like you are upset and as your classmates we felt it was appropriate to ask you what was wrong." Tenya says.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Bakugo states without turning from the window.

"Are you sure? Because-"

"I said I'm fine, get lost." Bakugo stated again.

Both students linger for a moment, they wait to see if Katsuki will come around. When they see he doesn't move, they both turn and prepare to walk away. But before they really go anywhere, they hear him say something under his breath.

"He hates me."

"What?" Uraraka turns back and asks. Katsuki has a new look on his face, like he's disappointed in himself.

"You should've heard what he said before I left," Katsuki sunk down into his chair. After he had given Izuku the antidote and he'd fallen asleep, he felt like complete trash. He had told Izuku a lie and even though it was for his own good, he felt the sad betrayed look on Izuku's face almost wasn't worth it in the end. "He'll never forgive me and there's nothing I can do about it. He'll hate me forever."

Uraraka walked over to katsuki and leaned on the desk that was in front of him. She looked down at him and sighed. "Do you remember what Izuku said to me when me and the boys came to deliver you All Might's message? About how he hated me and would never be my friend?"

Bakugo just stared at her, but it was clear he remembered so Uraraka continued. "I thought that he might've been serious. That it was really the end of our friendship and it hurt so much. But I remembered at the end of the day, that wasn't Izuku I was talking to. The Izuku we know wouldn't be so violent, wouldn't say such harsh things, and definitely wouldn't hate his childhood friend that he nicknamed."

"Tch, that's not so easily believable, this is the worst situation ever." Bakugo rubbed his hands threw his hair.

"It sucks right now, but I know it'll get better, it has to. When you woke up and were back to normal, one of my wishes came true, I know the other one will come true as well, believe me." Uraraka said and smiled brighter. "Izuku will be thankful that you went as for as to lie to him to save his true self, maybe even his crazy side would be thankful."

A part of Katsuki knew she was right, but another part of him question the possibility of her being wrong. He wanted to believe that when Izuku woke up, he'd be forgiving and he'd trust Katsuki, but Izuku broken eyes and tears were too convincing otherwise.

All Katsuki could do what wait. He sighed heavily and nodded. "Thanks."


Later that evening…

Izuku slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't dare move his body just yet. He felt like he was a little heavier than he usually was and his head was spinning. Slowly, he sat up and tried to ignore the pain that shot throughout his sore body.

"Where…Where am I?" Izuku rubbed his head that felt dirty. He looked around and noticed that he had to be in the schools Nurses Office. When he looked at the clock he saw it was a little pass school hours so everyone must've been let out. So what was he still doing here?

Then he remembered. When his head was suddenly filled with previous memories, he gasped hard as his eyes widened in shock. "Oh…oh no.." Izuku voice was low and shaky.

He couldn't BELIEVE that he had turned into the one thing he hated most.

Izuku's breathing became impaired and his heart began to race as he remembered all the damage he had caused. All the cars he had destroyed, the paintings he demolished in the Museum, that poor woman he had shaken up in the hero gadget store, all the pain he had put his fellow students and teachers in.

Izuku really was a villain!

Suddenly the door to the office opened and Izuku's mind raced as his eyes landed on Recovery Girl. "Oh my goodness! You're up child! This is great new, great news. How do you feel?"

"I…I-I am….what is…" Izuku couldn't find the words to speak. His hands started to shake and Recovery Girl soon noticed how strange Izuku was acting.

"Are you feeling alright my boy? Those nutrients I put in the antidote should've cleaned you up right away. You must be nervous! It's your first time in a while that you're feeling back to your old self. I should probably call up your friends homes," Izuku felt his heart stop and his breath caught in his throat. "They're all so worried about you. I'll tell them if they want, they can definitely stop by today and speak to you, especially Katsuk-"

"NO!" Izuku belched out and became frantic. "No, no, no, no d-don't! Don't call them! Please!" Izuku lunged out in attempt to get off his bed. In the process, he ended up tripping and falling to the floor. His body wasn't quite there yet and needed a couple more days of rest. Still, he made his attempt to walk over to Recovery Girl.

"Midoriya! What are you doing?! Get back in bed, your body isn't ready!" Recovery Girl yells and tries to help Izuku limp back to his bed.

"Please don't call anyone, I'm not ready to see anyone!" Izuku begged as he flopped back in bed.

"But I don't understand! Why don't you want to see your friends?" Recovery girl looked up at Izuku and she felt terrible when she noticed his eyes were becoming glassy. Something must've really been wrong, so she decided t drop it. "Alright, Alright. But I have to alert somebody, I have to call All Might."

Izuku fell back onto his pillow and hid his face in his hands as he groaned. He really didn't want to see All Might either, but he knew he had no choice. Izuku watched as Recovery Girl made the phone call. He wasn't ready for this encounter and it scared him half to death. He decided he was just going to try and tough it out and get through it.

But after 20 minutes pass and All Might bursts threw the Nurse's door and makes eye contact with Izuku, he feels weak. He immediately feels the tears come up, even though he spent the last 20 minutes telling himself he wouldn't cry. But Izuku couldn't help it, he felt like he deserved to feel crappy about himself.

"I'm sorry.." Izuku mumbled and clutched to his shirt. He brought his knees to his chest and began to sob softly. "I'm so so sorry, really sorry."

"No," All Might whispered and immediately embraced Izuku tightly. "You know this wasn't your fault. Everyone knows this wasn't your fault and I'm so proud of you for staying strong throughout it."

Izuku clung back onto All Might and tried to soften his crying but it was hard. He did his best to believe in what All Might was saying, but Izuku knew that his classmates must've thought he was a monster. To top it all of, the fear of Katsuki thinking Izuku was an abomination was tearing him apart.
