I woke up slowly, my whole body aching and empty. I literally felt dead. Did I die?

That nurse lady from before walked in after hearing my groans as I got up.

"Yup, I definitely died and went to He..." I thought, before being interrupted.

"Young man, what you did today was... incredibly dangerous. I told you before and I'll tell you again. You need to stop sacrificing yourself for others." The lady started. I should probably ask what her name was.

"Anyways, I am quite proud of you actually. You saved that girl like a true hero. Unfortunately, you did lose. One of your little friends had to carry you to me, and the match was cancelled." She stated.

Which little friend? Was it Uraraka?

"Oh, I'll have to thank Uraraka then." I stated. I mean, she could make me weightless, so it shouldn't have been that big a deal.

"It wasn't the girl young man, it was this angry blond haired boy. He kept cursing and muttering as he carried you over to me."

Wait, what? That sounds like Bakugo, but I thought he hated me...

Oh god, thanking him is going to be difficult. At least he isn't a total asshole, he actually helped me, granted he did the damage in the first place...

"Oh, some of your friends are waiting outside," she opened the door. "you can all come in now."

Once again, what friends? I don't remember making any friends besides Uraraka I guess.

"Omg Robaato! Are you okay?"

"Hey man, how are you holding up?"

"Tch, damn pretty-boy..."

Umm, what? I could understand Uraraka, but why were Kirishima and Bakugo here? Kirishima wasn't even in my match, and Bakugo had already helped me.

"Anyways, I'll leave you all to talk, I'll check on you later, and then you will be free to go hurt yourself again..." said the old lady.

She left the room, closing the door. I realised then that my suit had disappeared for the most part. My whole chest was bare, and (thankfully) only parts of my legs and... that area, were burned. It was still embarrassing though. I mean, I wasn't as buff as Kirishima, but I was strong...

Uraraka came over and took my hand. "Robaato, why did you do that? It was so dangerous... thank you." Uraraka was near tears as she said this. Was it really that big a deal?

"It's okay, I didn't really even mean to..." Oh, that was kinda mean. " Well, I meant to, but my body moved before I could think of what was happening. I have never been able to swap myself with another person or object but in that moment... I don't know how, but I just did." I explained, staring at my bandaged hands.

"I'm just happy you're ok, man. You looked really bad after being blasted out the window. Your whole body was burnt, and there was glass all over you. You could've died!" Kirishima said, his hand on my shoulder. Why was everyone touching me today, and while I was like naked.

"Urgh, pretty-boy? I have something to tell you." Bakugo started. He really looked angry, or conflicted? I don't know, his eyebrows really never changed from making him look angry.

"What you did to save round cheeks was... really heroic. I'm... I won't do that again." Bakugo looked away, embarrassed?

That was a start. At least he apologized.

"It's okay, Bakugo. It was just a part of the exam, and you guys sort of won!" I said, trying to cheer him up. " Maybe we can be friends after this? It's good to have friends you can trust, and you don't seem like the kind of guy to go back on his word!" I was smiling at him now. I have no idea where I got all my confidence. I must have hit my head when I was falling.

"Tch, in your dreams pretty-boy. I'm going home now, don't follow me." Bakugo got up and started walking away. I grabbed his hand as he did so, which hurt. I winced but tried to smile at him as I said "Thank you, Bakugo. For carrying me here, and waiting until I woke up!" I hoped he would see that people would be grateful when he was kind to them.

"Whatever... I'll see you around," he muttered as he left. At least that was progress?

The rest of us talked for a while, Uraraka thanking me, and Kirishima patting me all over to make sure I was okay. Need I remind you how much I was wearing? So embarrassing...

Eventually, the old lady whose name I found out is Recovery Girl, told me that I could go. Uraraka's house was in the opposite direction, so Kirishima and I said goodbye to her at the school gates.

"I'll walk you home, Robaato. I want to make sure you get there safely." Kirishima sort of demanded. I don't think he would take no for an answer.

"Ok, I'm just so tired. I don't know if I can even lead you in the right direction, let alone walk all that way." I said. I was telling the truth. I felt like I had no bones in my body, that I was just going to melt into a puddle of feelings.

"Okay then, I'll carry you, you point in the right direction!" What? Why was he so nice.

He picked me up bridal style, and wow, his arms were strong! I seemed to weigh nothing to him.

"Hey, Kirishima! You don't have to do this! It's kind of embarrassing..." I said

"Well, I want to. And it's not embarrassing, just a bro helping out his bro!" Kirishima said, smiling down at me. Our faces were so close, I could see a little scar above his eye.

I lightly touched the scar. "How did you get this, Kirishima?" I asked. If you didn't look close enough, it just looked like an eyelash or something.

He didn't answer me at first, finally settling on saying "When I was a kid and first got my quirk, I accidentally cut my eye. I hated my quirk at first." He said. "Anyways, how did you get all those scars on your body, Robaato?" I froze. I never talk about those or try to think about them. It's too painful.

I don't know why, but I just started silently crying. I looked down so Kirishima wouldn't notice. "I don't really want to talk about it Kirishima. I'm sorry. I'll tell you one day." I said. He seemed to understand, as he just kept walking in the direction I pointed to.

I looked up at him and told him that I could make it the rest of the way home on my own, and he then saw my tears. He rubbed my back, and then told me he'd see me tomorrow, making his way to his home, which I then found out was in the opposite direction.

He was way too nice.

Once home, I just collapsed on my bed. I was honestly the most tired I had ever been, and I just fell straight asleep.

In the morning, I got off the rest of my hero costume. I needed to try to get a replacement. I put on my school uniform, not bothering to tie the tie, and headed off to school. I still felt tired, but not as much as yesterday.

Once in class, I fiddled around with my tie, trying to get it onto my neck. I didn't really know how to tie it, and usually asked my grandpa to do it for me.

"Wow, can you do anything, pretty boy?" I heard Bakugo say. I didn't need this right now.

"Please just leave me alone right now, Bakugo. I'm sorry, I'm just so tired and thinking about a lot of stuff." I said.

He continued to walk over and took my tie out of my hands. He wrapped it around his neck, tied it, loosened it, and handed it back to me. He then just walked away. I put the tie on, smiling.

I guess he could be nice if he wanted to. Maybe this was his way of saying he was sorry.
