Bakugo paced around the living room. This was all his fault. He had brought her out into the woods, now she was hurt…wasn't there a vein in your leg that was really important? What if she died?
Bakugo shook his head. He was thinking crazy. No one died from a gash in their leg.
Recovery Girl came out of the guest room with his bag. "You can go in there now."
Bakugo said nothing, but opened the door and walked in.
Rose was sitting on the floor, her leg stuck out in front of her. She didn't move it. It was wrapped tightly in gauze.
"Are you okay, Rose?" Bakugo asked.
Rose laughed a little. "This is nothing. You should see what third-degree burns do to the human body."
There was no light in her eyes. She looked sad.
"What's wrong?" Bakugo asked her.
"Nothing…I just screw up everything," she said. "And now, when things are looking up, I got hurt, and I feel bad…I upset you."
Bakugo flushed. "Y-You didn't upset me!"
Rose raised an eyebrow. "Your body temperature just rose two degrees."
"Stop doing that!" he yelled.
"It's fun," Rose smiled. "And…you're not upset anymore."
"What? I never was to begin with!"
"Katsuki," Rose said, getting his attention and making his ears turn red. "Thank you. People don't normally care what happens to me."
Bakugo turned to go, but he stopped in the doorway, turned around and said, "No problem."
