Two weeks..

You were in your hospital bed for two weeks, since your injuries were pretty bad. Not only the injuries, but mental health as well. You weren't eating much, you were constantly sleeping, trying to, most of the time. You had been transferred to a private room in UA, being under Recovery Girl's care, Midnight would visit you from time to time and help you sleep. No other person was allowed to visit you, except from Aizawa of course. You haven't seen Bakugou or your friends since that day.

It was evening. You were sitting on your bed, resting your back on the bedframe. Recovery Girl entered the room with a tray full of food, but you weren't in the mood to eat anything. She sighed and gave you a small smile before leaving the tray next to your bed. Not long after, however, Aizawa entered as well.

"I'm seriously going to force you if you don't eat right now."

He placed the food tray on his lap and sat next to your bed.

"I'm not hungry."

Mira's funeral was a couple of days ago, but you didn't want to go. You weren't ready to face reality yet. You had talked with her family on the phone, and they kept telling you how none of this was your fault and how they still loved you the same, but none of this felt right to you. You felt this huge guilt keeping you from moving on.

"Want me to braid your hair like I did when you were little?" he asked, trying to lighten your mood.

"I don't want to end up with bald patches on my head." you murmured, the faintest smile appearing on your face.

'Aizawa you're pulling my hair way too hard!'

'It's because you're moving so damn much!'

'Well it hurts that's why I'm moving!'

'Stop complaining you problem child! I'm trying my best!'

And the final look was so bad but you still kept it.

"Well, it's either that or you're gonna eat."

Aizawa put the small bowl of soup on your lap and basically forced you to eat. You took a hold of the spoon and started stirring the soup.

"Your wounds have been healing nicely I've heard." he said, trying to change the subject, but you didn't reply. "Everyone is waiting for you, don't you think it's best if you left this place already?"

"I don't know..."

He looked at your state. You had lost weight, had faint dark circles, you were covered in bandages and also had a patch on your cheek from Shigaraki's scratch. Most importantly however, you wouldn't talk much, wouldn't smile. It was like you were lifeless. You felt weak.

Aizawa wouldn't allow your friends to visit you. He was afraid of the thought that they would say something that would trigger or upset you more. He just wanted to give you as much time as you needed to rest and feel better, but he knew that you wouldn't move on without some persuation.

He took the bowl off your hands and placed it on a table next to the tray, making you look at him confused.

"You know that I don't do this often, so listen well. You had no other option! It was either you, or Mira. You had no idea of the threat, they are villains, (y/n), did you expect them to let her go that easily with just a warning? And in the end, we saved you and captured most of the villains. Everyone was so glad that you were safe, no one got badly injured either. But right now, they are very worried about you!"

Your lips parted slightly.

"When your friends ask me about you every single morning, I reply with a 'she is doing fine'. If not them, have you thought of Bakugou? How he's handling the fact that he doesn't know about your well-being or when he is going to see you again?"

You looked at your bandaged hands, the moment he burned them running through your mind.

"Everyone is so worried. I am worried and I get to see you whenever I want! You should move back to the dorms. Isolating yourself from everyone won't do you any good, and it will for sure not make you get rid of that guilt." he said while tapping your forehead with his pointer finger. He waited for your reply, with the hope that all this talk would make you realise things better.

You looked outside the window and then back at him.

"Fine."

Aizawa got off your bed and helped you stand up as well, while Recovery Girl packed some extra medicine and bandages for you to take back home.

Home...

You got inside the small bathroom of your room and changed your clothes. You splashed some fresh water on your face and stared at the mirror, touching your face while looking at your eyebags and patched cheek. In a way, you felt anxious of your friends' reactions when they finally saw you. Were they going to be mad at you for not even contacting them? Were they going to act coldly towards you? You brushed those thoughts away and got out of the bathroom, seeing Aizawa patiently waiting for you.

"Let's go."

He carried your bag with his left hand and with his right he helped you walk. You got outside the room and saw a small sign that didn't allow anyone to come near your room.

"Bakugou would sit there for hours but I wouldn't allow him to come in." he mentioned casually, making you roll your eyes at him. Sometimes he would be so overprotective that it made you irritated, but you couldn't do anything to change it.

Aizawa informed you that he had some stuff to get from his office before you two left for the dorms. As soon as you entered the teacher's office, All Might got up from his chair and approached you, bringing you into a small hug.

"Young (y/n)! I'm beyond glad to see that you are doing alright. I'm sure that your friends will be extremely happy to see you again!"

"Thank you, All Might."

"If it makes you feel any better, we talked to the press and explained the whole situation when it came to you 'working' with the villains." All Might spoke up again. "Meaning that you don't have to worry about it."

It felt as if some weight had been lifted off your shoulders.

"Come on.. put a smile on your face will ya?!" Present Mic exclaimed, patting your head.

"It's Aizawa's fault! He's always like that around her!" Midnight added.

Heh, that's something Mira would say...

You entered the gates and Aizawa helped you up the stairs. He looked at your tired eyes and said,

"If you need anything call me alright?"

You looked at him and hugged him tightly while letting out a loud sigh, him resting his hand on your head. He wasn't much of a hugger, but affection was all you needed right now. You could hear your friends talk from inside of the house, their voices making your heart beat faster from the anxiety. As soon as he opened the door, everybody stopped talking. When their eyes fell on you, they gasped and ran towards you.

"(y/n) we're so happy to see you again!"

"We missed you so much!"

You gasped and looked at everyone's excitement.

"Alright, alright! Give her some space!"

They got back and took a better look at you.

"I'm going to make some warm food for everyone!" Momo exclaimed.

Aizawa informed you that he had to leave so he gave you a small headpat and finally left you in the hands of your beloved classmates. They helped you sit on the couch which kind of made you feel embarrassed.

"Where is Katsuki?"

"He went on a walk." Kirishima answered, handing you a glass of water.

"How has he been?" you reluctantly asked.

"Kacchan sure missed you a lot." Midoriya said with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, he would try to get in your hospital room but Aizawa would chase him away. Man, it was hilarious." Kaminari added.

"You sure changed him, (y/n)!" Uraraka smiled while hugging you softly, you returning the hug. "But we missed you a lot as well, right guys?"

"Yeah!" they all replied.

"And why the moody face? We will fix that in no time!" Mina added.

A tired smile escaped your lips as you looked down at the glass of water. You felt grateful for your friends, for them being by your side no matter what. You ate everything that Momo had prepared for you, even though you weren't hungry, and listened to what everone had to say, enjoying every second.

After some time, you went to Bakugou's room. You looked around, feeling like you had missed your time spent there. Your eyes fell on a framed picture of you and him.

Didn't know he had that...

You almost picked it up but the sudden sound of the door opening startled you. He was standing there, looking at you with wide eyes. Your classmates didn't tell him anything when he entered the house, as they wanted to keep it a surprise.

"You're here..."

He walked towards you and gently touched your face before bringing you into a strong and long-lasting embrace. You closed your eyes and put your arms around him as well, enjoying every bit of his warmth.

"You idiot! What the hell took you so long! I was so worried, I... I missed you so much.."

"I missed you too.."

You felt his strong arms secure you as if desperately trying to find ways to bring you even closer to him. He moved so that he faced you and then put his lips on yours. While sharing a loving kiss, his hands never left your body, yours caressing his cheeks softly as if telling him that you weren't going anywhere.

As soon as you broke the kiss, he took some time to look at you properly. His heart shattered while doing so, knowing very well what lead your colors into fading.

"Weren't you eating?"

"I.. I didn't have an appetite." you replied while looking away.

"Tsk. Dumbass."

He hugged you once more and made you sit on his bed.

"You're sleeping here tonight." he said and you gladly accepted. You felt too tired to say otherwise anyways.

He took some time to change clothes, giving you a shirt of his as well and a pair of shorts that you had forgotten in his room so that you were more comfortable. You layed next to him as he put his head on your chest, hearing your heartbeat while running his hands up and down your soft body. Meanwhile, you were playing with his spiky hair with your one hand and with the other, you were drawing small circles on his broad shoulders.

"How are you feeling?"

It took you some time to finally answer, as you didn't know what to actually say.

"I don't know.." your lips trembled. "I'm sorry for the things I said to you that day."

"Hey, it's okay. I know you didn't mean anything you said." he reassured you while kissing your collarbone.

You two remained silent for some minutes.

"Did you go to her funeral?"

"Yeah.. I was expecting you to be there."

"I wasn't ready to face her family. I wasn't ready to face her either... but even if I was, my injuries would've made it hard for me to do so."

Bakugou looked at your bandaged arms, leg, and patched cheek. He then sat on the bed and took a better look at your hands. Recovery Girl had managed to heal them but you still had faint burn marks visible. He took a hold of them and kissed them, while placing them both around his cheeks.

You sat up yourself and hugged him tightly. You had missed his sweet scent. His touch. His voice. You sat on top of him and carefully pushed him on the bed. You started kissing passionately, his hands resting on your waist while yours on his chest.

You were about to continue further, but you winced in pain after a sudden headache stopped you from doing so. You got off Bakugou and kneeled down in front of the small bag of medicine that Recovery Girl had given you, and after taking a small pill you finally relaxed. Bakugou was standing behind you, not really knowing what to do.

You knew that it was going to take you some time to heal completely, but you were mostly afraid of what he would say.

"Sorry, something happened with my Mind Control quirk when I used it on Shigaraki and since then I've been having these sudden headaches. Nightmares also, some of them being of Mira.." you glanced at him. "What's with that face?"

"I just.. I wish I knew how to help you."

You stood up and took his hand, making him sit down on the bed once again.

"It's okay, Katsuki, you just have to put up with my annoying ass until I'm completely fine. I hope you don't get tired of me though.." you purposely murmured the last part.

He laughed and wrapped his arms around you.

"I wouldn't change this for the world you idiot."
