Unexpected Hero (BNHA Various x Reader)

36

You trudge over and stand next to Uraraka as she watches Bakugo start cutting some vegetables, "Bakugo, you're really good at using a knife!" she exclaims, and you lean over her shoulder, "it's unexpected..." She says, and you nod in agreement.

"What do you mean, unexpected? How can you be bad at using a knife!" Bakugo shouts while he continues to chop vegetables. Both of us continue to watch in awe, then Uraraka finally breaks out of her trance, and you notice the wood that she's carrying.

"Do you need some help?"

"Sure, thanks l/n!" You reach out to grab some of the sticks, but once you make contact with it, you immediately withdraw your hand and wince in pain.

"l/n, what's wrong?" She suddenly grabs your hand, and you sharply inhale—for the first time today, you take a proper look at your injuries and slightly shudder at the sight. The skin on your palms is raw, and it seems as though different layers have fizzled away.

"l/n, why didn't you say anything earlier? You should get these looked at!" Uraraka exclaims, and you blush as more of your classmates look in your direction.

"Shh, Uraraka, it's fine, don't make such a big fuss..." You notice Bakugo staring at you, he looks down at your hands, and his eyes widen at how injured they've become. You quickly hide your hands, and he looks away, slightly annoyed.

"That looks bad," Kirishima states, suddenly showing up next to you. You quickly wave your hands, trying to assure them that everything is fine.

"Right?" Uraraka turns to face you, and forcefully places her hands on your shoulders, "you need to take better care of yourself." She stares at you intently, and you become flustered. You slightly look away from her, not able to keep eye contact.

She blushes, then lets go of you slowly, "I'll be right back, okay?" You say, then speed off to start tending to your injuries. 'they worry too much... it's not like me getting injured has any effect on them... Besides, I'm doing this so I can be with them—it's for them anyway so they shouldn't be so worried—but I guess they won't be able to know that... whatever.' You shake your head then continue to walk towards the building, slightly cradling your hands.

THIRD POV
As Uraraka watches l/n leave, she thinks to herself, 'what are they doing? Why would they work to the point of severe injury? Don't they realize that it's not going to make them better if they just end up injuring themselves? Don't they realize how much it's making me worry? Wait, me? Why would I think that? It's not like I specifically care about them... I would react the same way for anyone else in my class, right...?'

She instantly begins to blush as she continues to work on dinner with the rest of her classmates.

Y/N POV
'Hmm, that's slightly better...' You clench and unclench your fist as you look down at your bandaged hands. 'But what am I going to do for the rest of the camp? Use my elbows?' You look down at your feet and sigh. You let your head drop slightly, then smile bittersweetly. 'this is hilarious... I try to become stronger, and yet here I am already injured...' You shake your head then start jogging over to your classmates, hoping that there might still be something for you to do.

"That looks gross!" You turn to Kaminari and raise your eyebrow.

"Wow, thanks," you say sarcastically, and he grins at you. He stops smiling slightly then looks at you.

"You know, you're kind of stupid l/n."

You look at him incredulously, "me, stupid? Coming from you? What has this world come to?" You groan slightly and facepalm, then immediately wince from the impact on your injured hand.
