Silently skipping down the long hall, Hana couldn't help but smile at all the wonderful new noises all of her new guests were making. Peeking her head inside one of the operating rooms, she locked eyes with the doctor who already had a disturbing smile plastered on his face as he lifted up a pair of sharp scissors next. When he saw her mentioning him over, she saw the smile slightly drop before he said something to one of the guards and took his surgical gloves off following her out.

"My dear Hana, it's good to see you. To what do I owe the pleasure?" he grinned down at her.

Shrugging, she peered over her shoulder. "Any new progress?"

"I'm afraid not, but there are still many new patients I have yet to…interview. Some that look quite promising too." His eager smile returned, thinking of all the wonderful new discoveries to be made this week.

"And what about the child?"

"The child is being carefully watched and taken care of as you ordered. Rest assured once the time is right, we will verify if he is indeed one of the ones we've been searching for, but given the information you provided, it seems to be him as of now." He glanced down at the children's ward.

"How much longer?" she impatiently frowned.

"Now now my dear. All things come in due time. If you'd like we could dispose of the child right now."

"No." she frustratingly pouted. "After all the stupid trouble Toga and her group caused me just trying to retrieve that baby from his dying moms' clutches, I need to be sure. Ugh what a mess too." She giggled, remembering walking up to the crime scene with blood splattered all over the wall. "I don't know why I couldn't be the one to retrieve him."

"Well, we wouldn't want anyone seeing you there, let alone find out who you truly are now would we?"

"I guess you've got a point." Pausing, she turned her head down the other corridor thinking she heard something, but when she looked there was no one there. Closing her eyes, she quickly opened them again to reveal her white ones to which the doctor grinned knowingly. After another few minutes of silence, she reverted back to her regular green eyes and gave him a playful smile. "I guess I must be hearing things."

"Do try and take it easy my dear."

"Blah blah blah I have no time for that. If I don't get what I want soon, then I'll have to get it myself."

"Doctor Fujiwara, the patient is ready." One of the guards walked up to them.

"Good, maybe that'll stop them from lashing out again. Did you give them the anesthesia?"

"No. Just as you ordered."

"UGH this is pointless! I've told everyone before, no interrupting when I'm talking!" Hana shouted flicking her wrist and smiled as soon as the guard's head twisted around with his body slumped to the ground a second after. "Why is no one listening to me?!"

"We are listening Hana." The doctor grinned. "But I do wish you'd stopped killing all the guards here. They do make good puppets after all."

"Puppets I gave you." She glared but it didn't last long once she saw him bow and nod with an unsettling grin. "Don't forget that doctor. You haven't seen even a fraction of what I can do."

"Of course. We just need you to be a little more patient."

"Well, guess what. You're all out of time."

"Hana-"

"In two months' time, there will be a visitor. And when he comes, we'll be ready for him."

"A visitor? How exciting!" The doctor squealed in delight clapping his pale skeleton-like fingers together.

"It'll be a short stay. One that shall be his last. I'll make certain of it." She grinned. "As for our other visitors they'll be arriving in three months, so start the preparations."

"Of course." He bowed again as they headed back the way they came. "And what of Shigaraki? Togas been asking about him and if there's been any progress."

Smiling Hana kept her eyes on the ceiling. "Tell her we're still working on it."

"But Hana we've already found-"

"Tell her we're still working on it." Her tone hardened, not allowing any room for arguments. "Who cares about him. Other then All For One and look where it got him." She mumbled.

"I understand that he-"

"Doctor, don't you have a patient waiting?" She suddenly stopped right in front of the door.

"Yes." He excitingly grinned remembering his prior engagement.

"Oh, and Doctor…" she added as he turned and opened the door to head inside.

"Yes?"

"Once you're done playing here, room 101 is all yours."

"Really?" he happily gleamed.

"Yes. Toga hasn't been pulling her weight lately, too busy doing who knows what. So, I'll let you have a little bit of fun. Just make sure he's still in one piece after you're done.

"Much appreciated." Doctor Fujiwara grinned, closing the door behind him and putting his gloves back on before picking up the scissors once more. Slowly hovering next to the bed his grin widened making the hollow of his eyes wrinkle in delight at the squirming man strapped down on the operating bed. "Now…where were we?"

Twirling her long hair around her finger, Hana continued skipping down the long hall giggling to herself when she heard the ear-piercing screams followed by gurling, and then nothing but the sinister laughter as it echoed throughout the building. "Well at least the docs having fun."

Halting in front of the door labeled 101 she peered inside the darkened room smiling to herself as she opened the door.

"Why hello there. It's been a while wouldn't you say?" Walking closer to the hunched-up form in the corner she went to place her hand on his head, but the figure quickly flinched away. "I see, still not talking to me after last time huh? Oh well."

Sitting on the small cot against the wall she happily unwrapped a candy bar. "And here I heard so many legendary stories about you. But I guess not every story is true."

"Leave."

"That's very rude of you." She tilted her head.

"Shut up."

"It's true you know." She chewed. "The only reason Toga asked for you is because she felt lonely. I on the other hand couldn't care less what happens to you or anyone else. When you live as long as I have, everyone's just trash under your boots." Realizing she wasn't going to get the entertainment she wanted she slowly approached the figure once more. "You people are so boring here. But you know there are a lot of ways I can make you talk…"

"Hana."

Pressing her lips together in irritation, she snapped her head in the intruder's direction. "What do you want?"

"The new shipment has arrived. Figured you'd want to inspect it yourself before it ships out again."

Thoughtfully tapping her finger to her chin, she nodded. "Good thinking. Thanks for letting me know." She grinned walking past the person. "Be a good puppet and let Toga know that I need to speak with her Kenzo."

"Will do." he nodded watching her turn down the other hall and down the stairs. Turning to close the door, his eyes met those familiar ones before locking the door shut behind him.

Once he made it outside the building telling Bousou he wanted to get a smoke, Kenzo looked around the vacant alley before he couldn't keep it in any longer and keeled over hurling everything he ate that day which wasn't much to begin with.

The scene from that day kept running in his mind over and over again for the last month and it didn't matter what, he couldn't help but hate himself even more.

"Well, that's just gross." Toga wrinkled her nose in disgust once she saw him throwing up the rest of what was left in his stomach. "Didn't peg you for the weak stomach type."

"What the fuck do you want?"

Shrugging her shoulders Toga leaned against the wall. "Just saw you heading out here and been meaning to talk to you."

"About?"

"I've been wondering something…"

Wiping his mouth clean with a napkin he kept in his jacket since this wasn't the first time he felt sick to his stomach, he tossed it in the trash before giving her his attention.

"What's wrong with you Kenzo?"

"Well, that's great Toga." He huffed. "You'd have to be a little specific since there's something wrong with all of us."

"Well ever since we grabbed the little pipsqueak along with the other kids, you haven't been eating, sleeping, or your usual self." She pouted. "I mean I know that's usually not your style but-"

"Not my style?"

"Well yeah. But if it helps all you did was let us inside. We were the ones who did the dirty work."

"Toga all of this shit is dirty!" He whirled around glaring at her. "It doesn't matter if I just opened the door! They're kids!"

"Well, I guess but-"

"Toga, I heard Hana talking earlier with the doc-"

"Kenzo!" she whisper shouted making sure there was no one around. "You shouldn't have done that."

He stared at her for a second, taking a back. "You already knew."

"Does it really matter. She'll give us what we want Kenzo." She pleaded. "Everything we want and more! Yes I know about Shigaraki and I know that they found a way to get him back, I'll eventually convince them to hand it over! And I'll finally get my revenge on Ochaco and make her pay for everything-"

"And the kids in the ward, and everyone that needs to die in order for that to happen?"

"Sacrifices are necessary Kenzo. Especially if we all plan on being a family again."

"Is that all?" he narrowed his eyes. "From what I recall that's not entirely all you've been doing."

"It's none of your business what I'm doing."

"Of course." He sneered. "Have you heard about the visitor that's coming?"

"What visitor?"

"Well apparently you're not so buddy with Hana…" he scoffed thinking that he should have had that smoke after all. "Apparently someone's coming in two months."

"But that's a month in advance."

With a bitter chuckle Kenzo started looking for his lighter. "Of course you knew, of fuckin course you knew about the plan in three months too and didn't even tell me."

"We realized after taking those kids you might not be ready." She reasoned. "We were going to eventually let you in on it."

"Right."

"What about this visitor?" she asked again.

"Not sure. All I know is someone's coming at that time. Someone important." Shaking his head, he yanked the door open. "Where's Kage?"

"Your lowlife of a brother is harassing some of the nurses again."

Nodding he marched inside without another word, pulling out his phone and quickly typing a message before he put it back in his pocket. Going up the stairs he saw Kage surrounded by his usual group of friends leering at one of the nurses.

"Come on it's just a little fun." Kage grinned forcefully grabbing her wrist. "I've seen you staring."

"P-Please don't hurt me." She cried.

"Let her go Kage." Kenzo reached out and pulled his grip off her.

"Man, you're no fun!" Kage glared watching the nurse run off.

"Yeah, you always fuck everything up." one of Kage's friends said.

"Listen here you little runt, unless you want to know what it feels like to be mauled by wild dogs, I suggest you all back the fuck off."

"We'll just catch you later Kage."

As soon as his friends left Kage gave Kenzo a sheepish smirk. "They are right you know. You've been at it lately. It never bothered you before what the hell I did."

"It always fuckin bothered me and you know that." Kenzo said walking up another set of stairs as his brother followed.

"Well yeah that's true, but you've been more forceful."

"Maybe because you don't think before you do shit Kage! Just because we've been working with this organization doesn't mean-"

"The Ipponmichi." Kage corrected his smile eagerly growing. "Kenzo, don't you get it? Now I'm finally able to make a name for myself! No more petty robberies, fights, or just trying to get by. I can finally let loose!"

"Did you even forget why we joined in the first place?! Why we joined Toga? It was to convince you to get out! To show you that this wasn't the life for you!"

"By reeling me into a group of villains that do just that?" Kage gave him a bitter laugh.

"You didn't listen before so I figured might as well see firsthand."

"Yeah and now I see!"

"No, you don't! You're still that same fuckin snot nose kid that wouldn't listen to anybody unless it was that scumbag of a dad."

"What? You mean the one you beat to death." All amusement left his face as Kage just continued to stare at him. "Well, I'm sorry, but not all of us are professional murderers like you Kenzo."

"Don't."

"What, did I hit a nerve?" Shoulder bumping him while he passed Kage took one last look over his shoulder. "But don't worry I'll get there. And when I do, you'll be proud of me Kenzo. And then I'll get everything and anyone I want."

"I'm worried man. This isn't like him."

"Relax I'm sure he's fine." Hawks lazily stretched his arms and wings while leaning against the bar letting his eyes survey the crowd in front of him. "I mean it's only been…"

"Two weeks."

"Ok yeah two weeks." He said, turning in his seat to face the worried bartender. "But I'm sure it's happened before."

Shaking his head Riku placed the glass he was holding on the drainboard before pulling out the last message he had received on his phone.

Kenzo: Three months

"Hawks he hasn't even came in here for his regular drink." Riku's alarmed voice rang in the pros ears.

"Well maybe he's trying to cut down."

"Hawks."

"Yeah, I know." Hawks groaned at his failed attempt to reassure him and tiredly rubbed his hands on his face. "And you haven't heard anything at all?"

"Not since the last message."

"Three months huh. Wonder what that's about." Hawks thought out loud with an equally worried expression. He had to agree with Riku, it was rather odd that they hadn't received anything new after that random message. "Why don't people ever finish their sentences instead of being so cryptic all the time?"

"But isn't this the type of stuff you usually handle?"

"Sure do kid. But don't worry, I'm sure he'll turn up. I'll keep a look out for him just in case and sent one of my sidekicks to do the same, alright."

"Hawks could you stop calling me that, you're only like three years older than me." Riku shook his head.

"Yeah, which still make me your elder, so make your elder his drink."

Settling him with a stubborn face, Hawks rolled his eyes pulling out his phone. "Fine, I'll let my sidekick know now. Geez don't you people know what it means to be off duty? By the way the meeting's been moved. You still good with that?"

"Of course. But why?"

Shrugging his shoulder, Hawks finished sending his message. "Something about Endeavor being busy with future preparation for his agency. But to be honest, I think he just wants to slack off and let the rest of us continue to work our butts off." He slouched down on the bar. "I'm telling you I'm being way overworked."

"Hawks, you're sitting in my bar, at a club in the middle of the day and despite what you say, it's not your off day." Riku gave him a deadpanned look.

"Well, you know what it should be." Hawks stated, swiftly getting to his feet not at all pleased. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some hero-ing to do."

"Right."

"You people are so pushy." Hawks mumbled before begrudgingly walking out of the club.

"Watch your six!" Bakugo shouted into his earpiece from above just as Jirou and Sato got roughly pushed back and punched in the stomach. "Damn it what did I just say?!"

"You know you should really work on your teamwork." Sero said swinging into a nearby pipe. "It'll do you wonders man."

"Bakugo? Like that'll ever happen." Mineta snorted.

"To be fair he has calmed down a lot you guys."

"Yeah, probably because of you Uraraka." Kaminari snickered turning the corner.

"You know I can fuckin hear your stupid asses!"

"Oh, right he has an earpiece too." Kaminari winced.

"Guys we should really see where they are." Kirishima said slowly scanning his surroundings.

"What's the big deal? It's twenty of us and three of them."

"Correction Kaminari, it's fourteen of us and three of them." Yaoyorozu replied through her earpiece. "Six of our classmates have already been taken out."

"Make that thirteen." Mineta could be heard screaming before his coms went dead.

"This isn't good you guys; we're dropping like flies!" Yaoyorozu eyes widened watching the little handheld screen she had with all of the 'X''s popping up on their classmates' pictures.

"Alright change of plans. Deku where the fuck are you?!"

"Sorry guys I'm…a little held up…at the moment."

"He's fighting Amajiki and Hado at the moment. Todoroki and I are on our way there!" Iida said.

"Any sign of Mirio?"

"Guys…."

"What now tape face?"

"Sero buddy you there?" Kaminari's worried voice could be heard.

"Yeah hey! Sero here sorry about that. But don't worry I'm fine."

"Um Mirio?" Kirishima grinned at the sad attempt of masking his voice.

"What no! Mirio is not here this is Sero."

"Seriously?!" Bakugo growled both frustrated at the fact that this guy clearly took out another one of them and because he did it flawlessly.

"Yeah, you're right, but I did do a good impression don't you think?" They could hear the smile in his voice before Sero's coms went dead.

"Alright let's get this bastard!"

"What was that?"

Whipping his head around Bakugo was surprised to see Mirio right behind him and managed to shoot of a few blasts to keep his distance which to Mirio's satisfaction went right through him before the impact shoot Bakugo straight back against one of the pipes and let out a pained grunt.

"Come on Dynamight, I'm sure you can do better than that." Mirio taunted. "Look I won't even move!"

"You think this is so funny huh?" Bakugo snarled dangerously getting to his feet.

"Kind of. But I'll tell you what, I'll give you a free shot." Mirio placed a hand to his chest.

"I don't need it!" Shooting himself straight for Mirio, Bakugo continued to shoot of explosions left and right making Mirio laugh as he effortlessly avoided them turning down another set of pipes every so often.

"Dynamight are you even trying?"

"Heads up guys, he's coming right this way." Uraraka quietly said making sure Tsu had a tight hold around her waist.

"Alright hang on!" Tsu shouted as soon as Uraraka turned on her rocket boosters and was throw through the air, hands, and grappling hooks at the ready.

All it took was a second when Mirio spotted her and let her go straight through him and slam into the far wall before parts of it came crashing down.

"Ouch! That's gotta hurt." Mirio winced. "Stay right there, I'll come check on you in a second Uravity!"

"Ochaco!" Tsu wasted no time hoping over and trying to capture Mirio with her tongue but couldn't grab a hold of him opting instead to check on Uraraka while Bakugo set of bigger explosions.

I took everything he had not to go and check on her but was thankful once Tsu gave him the thumbs up and instead refocused his attention on Mirio. "I'm going to fuckin kill you!"

"Bakugo, now!" Yaoyorozu shouted when Dark shadow came out from behind the corner catching Mirio off guard and wrap a pair of metal handcuffs around his wrist a second before Kaminari wrapped his arms around him and used his electrification quirk before Mirio tried to use his quirk. "Ochaco now!"

Reaching her hand out she clenched her fists seeing the smile fading from Mirio as he started to fall to his knees gritting his teeth painfully.

"I think I…"

"Times up!"

"What no! We almost had him!" Bakugo barked landing on the ground.

Releasing her hold Uraraka slowly got to her feet with the help of Tsu and Bakugo while All Might continued talking through the speaker.

"The objective of this training exercise was to capture all three villains in a timely manner which you didn't get to do young Bakugo."

"Not going to lie. Five minutes more and you guys would've beaten me for sure." Mirio grinned rolling his shoulder. "That was fun!"

"You alright?" Bakugo asked, looking Uraraka over and delicately turning her face to check for any injuries.

"Y-yes I'm fine." She furiously blushed, moving his hand away which only made him frown while they approached the group.

"That was a nasty fall. Sorry about that. I'll be happy to walk you to recovery girl if you'd like." Mirio awkwardly rubbed the back of his head with an apologetic smile.

"Thanks, but I'll be fine." She gave a small smile.

"Can't fuckin believe we were slow by five damn minutes."

"Hey, you live, and you learn. That's what I always say." Mirio shrugged.

Once Uraraka briskly made it to her room after classes she didn't waste another minute before undressing and snuggling into her warm covers. The day was brutal not to mention she could feel her stomach cramping up every now and then and wanted nothing else but to lay in bed until tomorrow which is exactly what she intendent to do, ignoring any messages and phone calls coming her way until she heard familiar banging on her door.

Squinting her eyes open to check the time which read 7:42, she let out an irritated growl before covering herself from head to toe in her blanket.

"Ochaco?"

"Go away."

"The fuck?" Bakugo quietly said to himself before looking from his phone to her door. "Ochaco-"

"Just go. I'm tired ok!"

"Tired? It's 7:45 you never go-" He jolted back a step when the door suddenly swung open to reveal a thoroughly annoyed Uraraka now glaring at him. "Oi you alright? I texted and called you a few times on my way home from Endeavors and your ass didn't answer."

She recognized the concern in his tone, so she tried to hold it in all her frustration and pain from that day. "I'm fine Katsuki. I just wanted to get some sleep since I'm not feeling well at the moment."

"Did you catch a cold?" placing the back of his hand on her forehead, he took in her obvious tired expression. "Yeah, you don't look all that well. Do you need me to-" Flinching once the familiar door slammed shut on his face, he stared at it for a few more seconds in confusion. "What the hell?!"

"Goodbye!" she shouted climbing back into bed before she personally saw to it that he sees recovery girl if he didn't leave. 'Did he just call me ugly!'

"Wait Ochaco just tell me what I did!" he groaned, placing his hands on his head, and walking down the hall to his room thinking maybe she just needed to get some sleep since they all had been working themselves to the brim.

But come to find out the next day wasn't any better since she looked even more irate than the night before and looked like the next person who decided to look her way or even talk would meet a quick death.

So, he was torn between wanting to go up to her and find out what the hell her problem was or give her some more time to cool off. Searching his brain all day during class he tried to come up with any feasible reason as to why she was suddenly so mad at him. But he came up empty. So, Bakugo decided to do what he was best at…confront the situation head on because that's the type of person he was.

Once the final bell rang, he wasted no time grabbing his books hurriedly shoving them into his bag while approaching his girlfriend who had her back turned talking with Tsu and Mina. 'Alright, maybe she's in a better mood now.'

Opening his mouth, he felt no words come out once she turned to face him with those big brown eyes waiting for him to say something like she'd been expecting it.

"Yes?"

"Hey I…" turning his eyes to the other two girls waiting behind her with the same curious expression as Uraraka which started to piss him off even more. "You alright?"

"I'm fine." She gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"Ok…" he inhaled slowly tapping his finger on the strap of his bag. "Now is that a 'fine' like your fine, or is that a fine like I'm going to kill you and they'll never find your body type of 'fine'?"

"Katsuki. I'm ok. I promise." She gave him an honest smile now sensing his uneasiness. "I'm just not feeling all that good…"

Exhaling loudly, he gave her a relived sigh which quickly turned into annoyance. "Well then what the hell was that yesterday? I thought you were pissed because I agreed with you that you looked like shit yesterday."

"Ooh…."

"Bakubro…noooooo"

Whipping his head around Bakugo was furious to find Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari gawking at him and still sitting on their desks watching as the scene play out.

"Oh my god…this is horrible." Mina whispered while Tsu nodded in agreement. "And yet I can't look away."

"Can't you shit heads find something else to occupy your useless lives with?!" he barked before turning back to her. "And no, that's not what I meant."

Taking a calm breath in she crossed her arms. "Ok what did you mean?"

"I just meant that yeah yesterday you looked sick, and I figured maybe you just needed rest, but then today you look even worse so I-"

"Worse?!" she gasped, grabbing her cheeks.

Laughing Mina shook her head. "Oh please Bakugo I'm begging you to stop…"

"What it's true! If you're not feeling well then you shouldn't be here, you should be in bed resting."

"Well thank you for your concern but I can take care of myself just fine." She growled walking past him.

"Wait what did I do now?!" he groaned dropping his bag on one of the desks. "She says we need to talk about shit but then she runs off everytime…" he grumbled to himself before snapping his eyes up. "Oh, what the fuck are you still doing here?!"

"We're gone we're gone." Sero and Kaminari quickly snickered and ran out of the room.

"Poor little Bakubro…. you're so young yet you're the oldest one out of all of us." Mina hummed with a sly smile.

"Meaning?" He hated to admit it but at this point his only option was to stay here and listen to what she had to say or try and talk to Uraraka again which brought on the risk that he would dig himself a deeper grave than he already had. So, he reluctantly tried option one.

"Ochaco's obviously not feeling well." Mina offered receiving blank stares from both Bakugo and Kirishima. "So that means…. come on work with me here."

"She ate something bad?" Bakugo lifted a questioning eyebrow. "See I told her not to eat all those damn sweets the other day!"

"Ochaco's on her menstrual cycle." Tsu bluntly said silencing both boys on the spot and she couldn't help but grin.

Fluttering his eyelids, he gave each of them a confused look.

"You know on her per-"

"I get it!" he quickly cut Tsu off.

"And no before you asked, we're serious." Mina chuckled. "It's pretty obvious if you read all the signs, beside I just started mine not long ago."

"Yeah she did…" Kirishima winced when she shot him a nasty glare.

"Same." Tsu nodded ignoring the shrill sound of both boys as they covered their faces and gesturing for them to please stop.

Taking a deep breath Bakugo gave a faint nod. "Fine. Ok she's dealing with that. So, what is there, like cold medicine or something for that stuff?" he asked.

Laughing Mina and Tsu playfully patted him on the shoulder before leaving.

"Oi answer me!"

"I suggest you get to work." Mr. Aizawa said standing up from his desk. "And I suggest you do it quick."

Rolling his head Bakugo seriously wondered if there was anyone in this school who didn't know his business. "Do you just like to lurk around and give people advice?"

"Do you like to hang around the classroom after hours?" Mr. Aizawa gave a impassive expression. "Because if so, I can give you something to do."

"No need, we're out!" Kirishima quickly pushed his friend out.

Humming, Uraraka gratefully stepped out of the shower before drying herself off. She debated on whether she should go downstairs for dinner but decided against it since she didn't feel like making the long trek downstairs. So instead, she decided to just finish up on her homework before winter break started.

Tomorrow, she had plans to meet up with Kirishima and Mina to go last minute shopping since they've been busy, and their Christmas party was in a couple of days so she couldn't afford not to go since she still had gifts to buy. After that she would be home for a few days before their school's ski weekend which they had all agreed on for their third year's field trip.

Startled out of her thoughts the minute she heard a hesitant knock on her door, she rolled her eyes intending to ignore whoever it was.

"Come on, I know you're in there Ochaco. And I promise I come in peace."

Dropping her pencil, she felt her lip twitch at the nervous yet amused tone of his voice debating whether she should open the door or not.

"If you want, I'll stay quiet the whole time…. or I'll at least try." He nervously chuckled. "Please just open the door."

Maneuvering herself to the door she slowly peeked her head out. "Hey."

"Hey." He said, giving her an unsure smirk before quickly handing her a plastic bag. "I picked up a few things that I thought you might need."

"Huh?" Peering down she saw a few things including a small container.

"Pain killers, plenty of water to name a few things and since you didn't come down to eat I brough it up for you, I figured you must be hungry. Oh, and for some reason four eyes told me to give these to you." he said, handing her a pair of dark sunglasses. "Said he remembered Pinky said it would help or something after our trip to the club that time."

"Katsuki-" she started softly shaking her head. "You didn't have to."

"Course I fuckin did." He said looking offended. "You're not feeling well, and I just made things worse. And I know it might not mean much coming from the guy who last school year made you feel like shit when I told people you were having your…."

"Lady problems?" she gave an amused smile remembering what they had called it.

"Yeah that." He smirked gesturing to the bag. "Anyways, I read up on that and it said that some of this is supposed to help."

"You…read about it?" she quietly asked, both embarrassed and touched that he'd go out of his way to do something like that. It's not like she went around asking her guy friends if they do that, but after last year's display, she wasn't too sure anymore. So, this definitely was a shock to her.

"Yeah, I did." he grimaced hunching his shoulders. "And I'm sorry you have to deal with something that fucked up." Hearing her laughing was the best sound he's heard in the last couple of days as she wrapped her arms around his torso. "So, am I forgiven?"

"Yeah, you big dummy." She grinned gesturing for him to come inside. "Let me guess…Mina told you." She asked once he closed the door behind him and watched him nod. "But It's ok because I was being unreasonable lashing out at you like I did. I'm sorry."

"It's alright." He chuckled before dropping himself on her bed. "Next time just tell me and I'll make sure to get the hell out of your way."

Dropping her mouth open she quickly threw a pillow at him that he managed to dodge before carefully grabbing her hand and pulling her down to comfortably lay next to him.

Lifting her chin, he gently placed a lingering kiss on her lips. "Can I try something?"

Nervously swallowing she felt her cheeks warm when he continued to stare at her in a way that always managed to set her heart on fire while at the same time hiding away.

"What?"

"You'll see." He grinned, turning her around so her back was facing him.

"K-Katsuki…" she stuttered unsure of what to expect. As soon as he placed his arm around her waist, she couldn't help but bite her lip at the memory of what they did before. She always found herself daydreaming while in class about it. Remembering those strange new feelings that always made her stare at him when he was focused in class. That was until she felt him sliding his warm hand under her shirt and resting it on her stomach.

"Now I've never done this before, but the old hag said it would help." He quietly said next to her ear and shivers ran down her spine.

Carefully rubbing her lower abdomen, she felt herself relax once she felt him lightly massage her with his warm hand.

"How's that?"

Smiling, she was glad he couldn't see the small tear escape her eye when she closed it. "It feels wonderful. Thank you Katsuki."

"It's fine." Smiling, he placed his chin on her shoulder. "Remember I take care of you, and you take care of me."

"You remember that?" she lazily grinned.

"Yeah. I know I was sick, so I thought I was dreaming back then." He softly chuckled watching her blissfully close her eyes again. 'Sometimes I think I still am…' he thought.
