"Hey man, ready to go?" asked Kirishima Eijirou as he walked up to the blond. Kaminari had called up Kirishima and gave him the full story of what had gone down earlier that day. Kirishima responded with a simple, "I'll call Bakugo and we'll pick you in 20" and now here he was.
"Yeah, let's go before they decide to keep me over night," said Kaminari as he stood up from his seat, with a bag in hand, ready to walk out of the waiting room. He was more than eager to leave the hospital and forget the embarrassing ordeal.
Kaminari had blacked-out for only a minute and by the time he woke up the paramedics had arrived with a stretcher. All of the blood that had dripped onto the pure white snow made his accident look much worse than what it really was. The paramedics were trying to get him to respond to questions as they carried him away to the ambulance. Luckily for him, he only had the small gash on his forehead and a couple of scratches on his face from the fall. After being stitched up, Kaminari felt more than well enough to leave the hospital.
"Dude, the three stitches make you look manly!" said Kirishima, trying to be optimistic. Kaminari had been lucky enough to have Kirishima as his roommate. He would never forget how he had walked in to their dorm room during move-in day, only to see this muscle-head with red, spiky hair grin with a mouth full of sharp teeth. Kaminari was so spooked that he accidently bumped into Kirishima's lamp and broke it. Instead of getting upset about the lamp, Kirishima was apologetic about placing it so close to the door and about the broken glass on the floor. The guy looked like tough punk but he was honestly just a giant softie.
"Yeah, as long as I don't tell anyone how I really got them," Kaminari sighed while he adjusted his bangs. "I'll just wear a beanie until I have to come back and get the stitches out. Anyways, I thought you said Bakugo was coming with you?"
"He did. He's waiting outside." Just as the two walked out the hospital doors, Bakugo started honking away. "See, there he is!" The two walked over to car and got in, with Kirishima taking shot gun.
"Thanks for the ride, Bakugo. I owe you one!" Kaminari said.
"Yeah yeah, just don't go busting your head again. It's not like you can afford to lose that many brain cells."
"Kirishima! You told him?"
"He wouldn't have come unless I told him why you were in the hospital in the first place. I didn't know who else to ask for a ride," Kirishima said apologetically.
"I would have found out about the incident… and the purple chick who saved your sorry butt. "
"Dude, you're killing me," When Kaminari had been waiting for Kirishima to pick him up at the hospital, he had texted his roommate the details he had transpired during his incident. Details that included the few moments he had with the girl that had helped him at the scene.
"Sorry, it's just Bakugo though. It's not like he told anyone while he waited in the car," Kirishima said.
"Never mind then," Kaminari gave up. There was no way that he was going to say that the only person he didn't want knowing was Bakugo. He didn't need to give the ticking time bomb another reason to call him an idiot, even though deep down inside, Bakugo was a decent guy that cared for his friends.
"Anyways," Kirishima sighed with relief, "I've been meaning to ask, what's with the bag?"
"It's the item that's going to lead me to my savior," With all the fuss going on, Kaminari had forgotten about his most important piece.
"Are you trying to tell me that you have Cinderalla's glass slipper in there?" Kirishima questioned, he turned around in his seat to stare at Kaminari's bag.
"Figuratively speaking, yes!"
"He's a fucking moron if he seriously thinks that he's Prince Charming." Bakugo muttered to Kirishima.
"Since you fell asleep at the scene, wouldn't you be more like Snow White than Cinderella's prince? I mean, she ate the poison apple and fell asleep. Sort-of like how you knocked yourself out and slept on the snow?" the red-head started wondering out loud.
"Idiot, he's more like Sleeping Beauty. She was stupid enough to prick herself on the fucking spinning wheel. Why wouldn't anyone even want to touch it? Enchanted or not, you're still stabbing your damn finger on the spindle!" Bakugo angrily said.
"You're still not over that Disney night? But you're right, this whole incident does fit more of a Sleeping Beauty vibe since he didn't listen to reason and put himself in the situation."
"Hey! Technically, I wasn't sleeping. I blacked-out for a minute but, anyways, how could you guys miss the pun?! I slipped on ice so I would be more like Slipping Beauty!" Kaminari yelled, almost jolting out of his seat. The car was engulfed in complete silence for only a moment before Kirishima and Bakugo busted out laughing. "Forget I said anything," was all Kaminari could manage to say before slouching back into his seat, hating himself and his love of a good pun.
"You said the fucking pun yourself, Slipping Beauty. You're stuck with it for life now!" Bakugo grinned while he parked the car into a spot right in front of the guys' dormitory.
"Whatever," Kaminari pouted, "Do you want to see what's in the bag or not?"
"If you're gonna do it, then hurry up," said Bakugo as he got out of the car, "I have to head off to a group meeting soon."
"Fine," said Kaminari, he then grabbed his bag from the car and closed the car door. "Take a look!"
"A scarf?" questioned Kirishima, as he grabbed the black knitted item from bag.
"Not just any scarf," Kaminari said with a smirk on his face, "This is the same scarf that the mystery girl wrapped around my busted head to stop the bleeding."
"Dude!" Kirishima squeaked, letting the scarf fall to the ground, "That's not sanitary! You could have said so before I grabbed it!"
"My bad, I'll make sure to wash it before I take a picture of it," Kaminari then picked up the fallen scarf.
"Why the hell are you going to wash that nasty thing? Do yourself a favor and just throw it away," Bakugo lectured.
"No way, this is the only thing I have to help me find this girl!" Kaminari said, putting the scarf back in the bag and holding it close.
"What's the big deal about this chick anyways? I don't think she'd want that shit back with your blood stains on it," Bakugo questioned.
"Yeah, I mean it's not so much about giving it back, but more about thanking her," Kaminari shyly said.
Bakugo and Kirishima quickly glanced at each other before staring back at Kaminari.
"Bull shit," Bakugo barked, "What are you really trying to do here?"
"I hate to say it, but Bakugo has a point. It would definitely be the right thing to do if you want to thank her for helping you out," Kirishima looked at the bag before continuing. "But is that seriously the only reason?"
"Guys, I just want to see her again… and maybe talk to her a bit," Kaminari stopped to look at anything other than his friends, "And maybe ask her on a date?" he spat out.
"Fuck, I'm out! You deal with the love-struck idiot this time, Kirishima." With that, Bakugo walked backed to his car and left before Kaminari could explain himself. Bakugo had more than enough reason to do so too. It was only their second term on campus but Kaminari had already managed to crush on more than his fair share of girls. None of which had turned out in his favor.
"Kaminari, you didn't fall in love with this girl…. Did you?"
"I don't know, maybe… a little?" Kaminari sighed as he grabbed on to Kirishima's shoulders, "I mean I almost died, is wrong for me to like the angel that saved my life?"
"Well considering that you weren't really conscious of what was going on around you when you met her, I think you might be pushing it," Kirishima tried explaining as nicely as possible, "Do you even remember her face or her name?"
"No, but that's why the scarf is so important!" Kaminari was more serious about finding this girl than he was about catching up on sleep. He already knew that this girl was sweetheart for helping someone she didn't even know, but there was something about her voice that was just so alluring. Not mention, the violet hair and black scarf were definite signs of a cool and confident personality. "Tonight, we're spamming the internet until we find her!"
