Chapter Fifty Two

The following week after the attack by the league of villains, your classes were all canceled. This gave you and your classmates time to recover from the damage each of you suffered that night.

Bakugo carried you back to camp, police lights were flashing everywhere by the time you all reached the base of the mountain. Aizawa pulled Yui, Midoriya and you and practically threw you all inside ambulances shipping you off to the hospital.

Bakugo jumped in the back of your ambulance, refusing to leave your side when the authorities said they had to question him. In the end, Aizawa gave in allowing him to go due to the fact you needed to get treated. You were in and out of consciousness the entire ride, the flashing lights and sirens blurred together creating a cocktail of migraines.

You were held in the hospital for three miserable days. You were relieved to hear all your classmates were alive and accounted for. Yui was a few rooms down from you, she would wheel in to chat with you until a nurse found her and returned her to her room.

The chainsaw Nomu did a number on your leg, as well the lovely concussion you received from being dropped to the ground by the yellow Nomu and multiple other injuries you sustained fighting to stay alive.

Bakugo sat beside you the entire time, having him next to you eased the pain. He made you laugh when the pain medication wore off, he made sure you were fed and took all your annoying pills. Your heart was warm with him near.

When his mother burst through the door, searching for her almost kidnaped son even you and All Might were terrified for your life's. But when Mitsuki saw Bakugo was with you, her anger quickly extinguished pushing Bakugo to the side she then babied you.

As nice as the hospital staff was, nothing compared to being home. You stepped out of a warm shower, you wore fluffy pants and an oversized shirt before climbing right back into bed even though it was the early afternoon. All Might and Aizawa were tasked with the pleasure of going to each of their student's houses and basically had to beg to allow their children to move onto UA's campus inside dorms the school was building.

With the high number of attacks on the UA students, the teachers didn't want to take any more chances with the student's safety. This was their solution, one that wouldn't affect the student's education.

You could tell All Might was a little iffy about letting you sign up, and if you were being honest you didn't want to go. You just got a new home, a room, a warm bed to sleep in. You didn't want to give that up to go live in another shoe box—your thoughts were cut short by the doorbell. Slowly and painfully, you made your way downstairs.

"If you answered your damn phone-!" Bakugo instantly started once you opened the front door. "-you wouldn't of had to walk all the way to the fucking door!" He side stepped passed you without waiting for an invitation. You watched him kick off his shoes before turning to you. "You gonna stand there all day!?"

"What are you-?" You trailed off.

"Hah!?" Bakugo shoved his hands in his pockets. "Did you forget or something!?"

"Forget what?" You asked as you closed the front door and locked it.

"Figures!" Bakugo looked away, "I can go-"

"What are you talking about!?" You snapped, holding onto the wall as you limped after him.

"Damnit!" Bakugo growled quickly reaching your side. "The doctor said stay off your leg!"

"You made me answer the door!"

"Only because your forgot me!"

"I didn't forget you!" You waved in his face as he carried you to the couch. "I was high on drugs half the time! I'm pretty sure I was hearing colors!" You giggled leaning against him as he rolled his eyes setting you down onto the couch.

"We were supposed to watch that show..." Bakugo trailed off, looking away from you hiding the blush on his face from holding you against him.

"Oh yeah!" It instantly clicked, while in the hospital you and Bakugo watched some supernatural show out of order. The two of you agreed to watch it from the start when you were released.

"If you don't want too..."

"I want too!" You grabbed the sleeve of his shirt and pulled him down onto the couch.

"Ah-!" He caught himself by holding onto the back of the couch, he looked down at your outstretched legs. "-don't you ever watch what you're doing!?" He snapped, "I could have crushed your fucking leg!"

"Well, it already almost got sawed off and cut off so at this point I am going for the trifecta!"

"Shut up." Bakugo smirked, softly lifting your legs before sitting down and placing them over his lap. You waved your hand to the remote sitting at the coffee table.

"Are we going back to the first episode?" B questioned flicking on the tv screen before finding it on Netflix.

"No-" You drew out, "-we are gonna start in the middle and have no idea what's going on or who anyone is!"

"I miss when you were high on drugs." Bakugo muttered. "There are how many episodes!?"

"Yes!" You threw your hands up in the air. "Hit play pretty boy!"

"Stop calling me that!"

"I will when you hit play." You sheepishly grinned.

"Where is All Might anyway?" Bakugo wondered hearing how quiet it was.

"Still going house to house." You smirked. "It's like he is trick or treating for students!" You laughed.

"He was at mine." Bakugo grumbled.

"How did that go?" You wondered, leaning your head on the back of the couch.

"My parents had no problem making me All Might's problem." Bakugo mumbled, you quickly smacked him on the arm. "Ow! What was that for!?"

"Your being stupid!" You matched his tone.

"What did you call me!?"

"Stupid! Do you need me to spell it out for you!?"

"Why-"

"Your parents love you!" You smacked him again, "They just want what's best for you, and your education and safety come first. You're lucky I can't move my leg, or I'd kick your ass!"

"Whatever." Bakugo muttered, knowing you were right...hearing your words made his chest feel lighter has he leaned back against the couch letting himself relax.

Three episodes later you were dozing off, wrapped inside a blanket you felt yourself begin to shiver. You were going to ignore it until your legs involuntarily contracted, sending you flying upwards as a hiss of pain escapes between your lips.

"What!?" Bakugo became instantly alarmed.

"Nothing!" You growled waiting for the pain to die down.

"Clearly this ain't nothing, what happened?"

"I got cold."

"Cold-?" Bakugo repeated, "-you got cold?"

"Leave me alone." You bellyached once the pain eased, you plopped back down against the pillows placed behind you. Bakugo studied your face for a moment.

"Move over." He ordered.

"Huh?"

"You heard me!"

"I'll fall off the-"

"I won't let you." Bakugo replied, moving to lay right beside you.

"Wh-What are you doing!?" You felt your face break out in a blush as he lowered himself beside you, wrapping an arm around you so you really couldn't fall.

"I'm keeping you warm dumbass!" Bakugo snapped, his heart pounding in his chest as he felt your body pressed against his. "Now shut up and watch tv!"

Your throat felt swelled shut, so you did the other thing you could. You turned to watch the tv, your left side was pressed against Bakugo's hard chest. You felt his warmth soak through you ending your fit of shivering, his calming caramel and melted sugar scent deeply relaxed you.

Bakugo looked down after half an hour-long episode and noticed you were fast asleep. He stared down at you, brushing his fingers over one of the bruises on your shoulder. He wished he had been by your side that night, instead of being trapped like some weak sidekick unable to fight! Flashes of Yui's clone being disintegrated fogged his mind, Bakugo took a deep breath reminding himself you were right next to him, you didn't die that night...

"I'm home!" All Might called kicking off his shoes, the pro-hero felt run down. Going house to house with Aizawa was more taxing than they originally planned. At one point the two teachers broke apart, splitting the list to try and knock it out faster.

"Hey." Bakugo called, coming out of the kitchen.

"Oh!" All Might smiled as he deflated in size, revealing his identity. "Young Bakugo, what brings you here?"

"(y/n) invited me over to watch a show." Bakugo answered,

"Where is she?"

"Asleep." Bakugo nodded over to the couch. "I figured it would be best to leave her be."

"Yeah." All Might sighed, "The doctor said she heals the fastest when she is asleep."

"I made dinner." Bakugo pointed back to the kitchen.

"Hm?" All Might's stomach growled. "What did you make?"

"(y/n) has a notebook where she keeps all the food she makes for you, I just picked one from there. I figured she should eat something when she wakes up."

"Well thank you!" All Might smiled, "You didn't have to do that."

"It's nothing." Bakugo brushed off, "Just a stupid dinner."

"You going to join us for it right?"

"I-I mean I wasn't planning on it-"

"I insist!" All Might waved, "Please!"

"Fine...I guess..."

"Wonderful! Let me go change and I'll be right back." All Might turned to the staircase.

Bakugo released a small breath of air, a small smile on his face as he moved over to you. He was going to have a hot meal with you, and All Might, Bakugo felt included, and not left out for once. He softly gazed down at you, brushes his fingers over your cheek. He quickly retracted his hand when he saw you stir, you whimpered inside your sleep, pulled the blanket up over your head, causing Bakugo to smile.

"Doesn't look like there is a chance she will be waking up anytime soon." All Might's familiar voice sent a shock through Bakugo, who snapped his head up to gaze at the pro-hero. All Might smiled, thrilled to see you and Bakugo have found friendship in each other.

"Guess not." Bakugo cleared his throat, "I guess I should get going-"

"What for?" All Might questioned, "There is still a delicious smelling dinner waiting to be eaten!"

"Yeah but-"

"You wouldn't mind if it was just the two of us, would you Bakugo?" All Might grinned. Bakugo's eyes widened, feeling a strong sense of honor.

"I-I guess." He blushed, he looked to you before following All Might to the dining table. Bakugo was about to have a one on one meal with All Might himself, this was like a dream come true.

"What would you like to talk about?" All Might questioned, "You can ask me anything! Pick my brain about being a pro-hero!" This felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity, heroes all over the world would kill for this chance and it was all Bakugo's.
