(Hi! Just as a quick clarification, this fanfic switches between the perspectives of Izuku and Eijiro every other chapter! I didn't want to do omnipotent 3rd person but I also wanted to examine the feelings of both characters, so I decided this would be the best way to do it! Also thanks for all the love and support on the last chapter; now, back to the story! And hopefully this is the last of these OOCs I do ^^')

Eijiro, Ochako, Tenya, Hitoshi, Shoto, and Tsuyu were all headed to the pastry shop. It was fairly cold out, so they all agreed it would be better to get a warm desert than a cold one. Except Hitoshi, who insisted that he always liked cold snacks on cold days and warm snacks on warm days. For some reason, that didn't surprise Eijiro, but not in a bad way; Hitoshi did always make his own way in life, which Eijiro quite admired. Hitoshi wasn't initially in Class A during their first year, but a previous student – what was his name, Mineta? – had been expelled for acting inappropriately with other students. Eijiro didn't know Mineta very well, but he still considered Hitoshi quite an upgrade, no matter how strange or blunt he was.

"Hey, do you think we should bring All Might a snack while Deku is visiting him?" Eijiro asked. "Maybe once we're all done hanging out?"

Ochako lit up. "Yeah, I think that would be a really nice idea!" she exclaimed.

Tsuyu and Shoto nodded in agreement.

"Plus, I think All Might would appreciate a visit from some of his old students," Tenya remarked as they all moved into the line.

"And who doesn't like some good junk food every now and then?" Tsuyu asked, grinning.

"He's been cooped up in his house for so long between all his illnesses and injuries that I really think he would appreciate the gesture – both the treat and the visit," Shoto added.

"Alright, then we can head over after we're done eating," Ochako stated. "Shoto and I went over with Deku once to All Might's house, so hopefully between the two of us, we can find it. …Oh! We're next. What to order…"

They all sat down outside with their pastries in hand. Eijiro took a bite out of one of his many macaroons as Shoto sipped on his coffee and nibbled on his coffee cake. Hitoshi had bought a bag of sugar-coated donut holes and a black coffee, Ochako had bought a regular jelly donut, Tenya had ordered a giant cinnamon roll that he intended to take home with him, and Tsuyu had asked for a big cup of water and a croissant. They had all pitched in to buy a box of six donuts of various common flavors, namely plain glazed and chocolate, for All Might and Deku.

An ambulance rushed by them, its lights on and whirling, as they snacked on their deserts.

"I hope whoever that ambulance is for is alright," Tsuyu stated.

After they finished snacking, they packed up their leftovers and headed off to All Might's. Eijiro offered to carry the box of donuts, but Ochako made sure it was shut tight before handing it to him.

"Are you really that afraid that I'll eat them?" Eijiro asked, pretending to be offended.

"I'm afraid anyone here would eat them. I'm afraid I would eat them. I'm even afraid Shoto would eat them. So yes," Ochako replied, smiling teasingly.

Eijiro laughed as they headed off.

They hiked up a street, then down a street, as Ochako and Shoto debated which direction All Might's house was.

"…This is the street, I'm almost sure of it," Shoto finally said. "All Might's house is the house without a mailbox."

Ochako nodded. "Yeah, this seems familiar. Then again, all these houses look kind of the same…"

They looked up the street and saw an ambulance parked several houses up.

"…Oh no," Eijiro gasped as the entire group halted in shock.

Ochako shoved past him and the rest of the group and hurried up the street, and the others followed swiftly after her.

The back door of the ambulance shut just as the group arrived.

Shoto looked to their left, and Eijiro followed his gaze. They were at the house with no mailbox.

Ochaku hurried up to the paramedics. "Excuse me, is everything alright?" Ochako asked worriedly.

"Are you friends or loved ones of the man who lives here?" the paramedic asked.

"Yeah, we used to be All Might's students," Ochako replied.

"…Oh yeah, I recognize you six," the paramedic said, adjusting his hat. "You're from the UA class that Toshinori taught for part of the year. Toshinori will be fine; he's a resilient guy, even without his quirk, and he's experienced worse in recent years. But we need to monitor him for a little while to make sure he's getting fluids regularly; he's dehydrated and pretty out of it at the moment."

"Can we see him?" Ochako asked.

"We brought him a snack," Eijiro added, lifting up the box in his hands.

"Well unfortunately, there isn't enough room in the ambulance for all of you…" The paramedic tapped his finger to his chin. "Donut boy, you can ride with us; my partner and I are starving. The rest of you are welcome to visit Toshinori once he's stabilized in the hospital. I'll let the lady at the front desk know that he might have some visitors." He walked over to the back door and opened it up. "Hurry up; we need to get to the hospital."

"Oh, uh, yeah." Eijiro turned around and waved to the others. "Sorry, I'll see ya guys there, I guess." He carefully stepped into the back of the ambulance, trying not to shake it too much. He opened up the box of donuts and handed one to the paramedic outside. The paramedic grabbed it quickly and slammed the door shut. Eijiro could hear him go into the driver's side of the car and turn on the engine.

Eijiro turned and looked the other way, to the inside of the car. All Might was strapped to a board, covered in several layers of blankets, clearly conscious but looking up at the ceiling blankly. What Eijiro could see of him seemed even scragglier than usual, and the former pro hero looked absolutely exhausted. It was so…strange seeing him that way. The former greatest pro hero in the world now looked so weak that even Eijiro could defeat him with ease. But I guess that happens to every pro hero when they die… He shivered.

After a brief moment, All Might turned his attention towards Eijiro. He lifted up his hand in greeting. "Hello, young Kirishima," he greeted in a rough voice.

Eijiro waved back, a grin on his face. Deku and another paramedic were each sitting on one side of the ambulance, and Eijiro sat down in the one empty chair between them.

"Hey!" Eijiro said enthusiastically. His expression softened. "You doing alright?"

Deku looked at him with a weak smile. "They said All Might should be fine," he replied, but still looked worried. He looked around, then back at Eijiro. "Where are Ochako and the others?"

"They said they'll meet us at the hospital, I think," Eijiro answered.

The conversation dropped, and Eijiro began tapping his fingers against his legs to fill the somewhat awkward silence.

The paramedic to Eijiro's other side leaned over, eyeing the box of donuts Eijiro and the others had bought.

Eijiro looked at him, and his face lit up in realization. "Oh sure, you can have one if you want. We bought, like, six."

"Thanks, I haven't eaten anything since breakfast," the paramedic responded gratefully, grabbed a plain glazed jelly, and bit in.

Eijiro turned around and offered the box to Deku.

"I'm not hungry, but thanks," Deku replied, eyes glazed over and focusing on All Might.

Eijiro frowned and looked down. This was not exactly how he expected to spend his afternoon.

Eijiro and Deku sat down in the waiting room. All Might was being settled in his room and tested, and the paramedics had asked Eijiro and Deku to wait outside.

Eijiro had picked up a donut not really noticing it, and decided he might as well eat it since he had touched it.

Deku was staring at the ground, not saying anything, clearly lost in thought.

Eijiro swallowed the last bite of his donut and tried to think of what to say. "…Are you okay?" was the best he could come up with.

Deku nodded. "I guess I'm just…I'm just scared that…" His face visibly tensed and he trailed off.

"Scared of what?" Eijiro asked, hoping he wasn't prodding too far.

Deku remained silent for several moments. "I'm afraid that All Might…might not be here for very much longer. He keeps getting sick or injured, and I don't know how long it'll be until something finally…" he trailed off again, his face scrunching up again.

Eijiro wasn't sure how to respond at first. Deku wasn't wrong to be concerned, but at the same time… "All Might isn't really that old, I don't think. Like Ochako said, he's resilient, so I'm sure he'll be around for a long time longer, even if he isn't in the best condition."

Deku smiled faintly, but Eijiro hadn't seemed to quell all his fears. Not that Eijiro expected to; they still didn't entirely know what was wrong with All Might, after all.

After a couple minutes of silence, the others suddenly came in through the door. "Eijiro! Deku!" Ochako shouted – but quietly, because she was entering a hospital – and hurried inside.

"Where is All Might? Is he okay?" Tenya asked quickly.

"We're waiting for them to call us into his room. We don't know his condition yet," Deku stated forlornly.

"But he seemed okay when I saw him," Eijiro interjected, trying to be more optimistic. "Er, well, not okay per say, but he was conscious and he said hello to me. He's not too bad-off, but he didn't look to be in the best condition."

"The paramedics said he was dehydrated, but we're not sure what was causing him to cough up so much blood," Deku continued.

"Midoriya? Kirishima?" the receptionist at the desk called out. "Toshinori is all set up in his room, and the nurse said that you can visit him whenever you'd like."

Deku stood up.

"Oh, uh," Eijiro began as he also stood up. "Some of our friends wanted to visit him too. Would it be alright if they came along?"

"We can only have four visitors per guest at any time," she replied. Her eyes looked like she was trying to count them all, but she gave up after four.

"It's alright with me if you guys would like to visit him tonight instead," Tsuyu said. "I could always visit tomorrow instead."

"I really should visit my mother before it gets too dark," Todoroki stated, leaning back against the nearest wall and folding his arms. "I didn't have a chance to talk to her about the Sports Festival yet."

"I need to get started on my homework, to make sure I finish it all on time," Tenya added. "And I suppose it's getting a little late, so if anyone else would like to go instead…I'd be perfectly happy visiting him tomorrow with Tsuyu."

Hitoshi looked like he was about to say something, but didn't. Perhaps he was going to volunteer his slot for someone who had a closer relationship to All Might, but he dropped it since it all worked out.

"I guess that's four then," the receptionist said. "What's your relationship with Toshinori, again?"

"We used to be his students when he taught at UA. Deku – er, Izuku – is a close friend of his," Eijiro explained.

"Ah yes, I recognize you all," she confirmed. "Alright, go to the far end of the hall, and turn right, and it'll be the second door on the left. It's room 121."

Deku nodded in thanks and hurried off. Ochako gave the receptionist a quick thank you before she, Hitoshi, and Eijiro hurried off after him.

Deku was already at the door. "All Might?" Eijiro could hear him asked.
