Behind the Mask

A Turn for The Worse

Tenya POV:

I wound up at a hospital.

I took a deep breathe and walked through the halls. I checked in with the receptionist before slowly making my way to Tensei's room. Tensei had been transferred here by request of my parents. They had a business trip and he couldn't come with them as it was in America. So Tensei was brought here so he wouldn't be lonely and so I could care for him in my off time. It's funny how much responsibility can be pushed onto one person without anyone noticing. Tensei had however taken a turn for the worse. He had gotten so much better but then there was an infection. And now he's back to slipping in and out of consciousness. It's stressful enough to have a sibling in the hospital but to have them suddenly get worse can make you sick to your stomach. I slowly waked over to my brothers bedside and carefully looked at him. As if me seeing him would suddenly shatter him.
"H-hey.... Tensei? Are you... are you awake brother?" I quietly asked. But there was no reply. No movement. He was asleep. Just like he was the last dozen times I visited. I made my way to a seat at his left and lower myself down. The room was silent aside from the slowly beeping of machinery and Tensei's steady breath. I slowly felt my eyes grow heavy until they finally closed.

"Sir... sir visiting hours are over... you need to leave, I'm sorry." My eyes slowly opened and I looked up to the nurse. 'Oh no I fell asleep?! Is it past curfew?! What if the teacher worry?' I stood up quickly and straightened myself up. I glanced over at Tensei... who was still asleep and then back at the nurse.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to fall asleep here. I'll be more careful next time!"
"Oh-.. it's no issue Mr. Iida. I know how it can be to have a family member in the hospital. Many fall asleep at a patient's side. It's understandable that you would be stressed and exhausted."
"Oh... I-.. I guess your right. But anyways, I still apologize.. have a good night.." with that I left. As I ran back to UA I couldn't help but think. Think and worry. 'She is right, many people fall asleep when they worry about a family member. But I am class representative! I shouldn't be away from the dorms for so long. I'm sure it's past curfew now. How can I tell peopel to follow the rules and act punctually when I can not follow my own standard?!' I was so  bet with UA's great gates and I burst through them. I ran around the school to the dorms and pushed my way through the doors beginning to feel dizzy. The hospital is a fair distance away from the school. And I wanted to get here in good time. I pushed myself.. and I think I over did it. My vision was slightly blurred. 'I.. need water.. I over did it...' I wanted to say something, to voice my rising panic.
"Iida! Where have you been! You are supposed to be the responsible one!" Aizawa began to lecture. But my hearing was starting to go. I stumbled forward clinging for the wall and Aizawa stopped.
"Iida?.... What's wrong?.." He asked but I couldn't form words. My eyes focused enough to see other students pour out from the common area.

Third Person POV:

"Oh look the class rep is finally here! After curfew!" Bakugou said as he narrowed his eyes at Iida. Many of the students looked unimpressed at first but that quickly changed. They saw Iida stumbled forward another step. Steam sputtering from his engines.
"I... f... sor-.." he tried to speak but everyone quickly realized he couldn't.
"Glasses?" Bakugou asked concern growing on his face. Iida looked up but seemed unable to focus on anything. And then he collapsed. Aizawa dove forward catching Tenya just before he hit the ground.
"Iida! Tenya Iida! Can you hear me?!" Aizawa asked as he looked over his body. He quickly checked the back of his calves at his engines and saw a sort of burn on the skin around his pipes. Students began to run over asking questions and calling out Iida's name but they received no response. Midoriya and Uraraka seemed the most worried of all. They pushed through the crowd and started trying to talk to Tenya. Aizawa checked his heart rate and breathing finding it fast. He put two and two together and figured that Iida had probably over used his quirk. He expected ingury as a result of quirks from Midoriya and maybe (maybe) Kaminari or Mineta but never Iida.
"Everyone give me some room. Midoriya get the first aid him, Uraraka get water and someone call recovery girl see if she's still here or can make it here." Students began rushing around looking for anything that could help. It turned out that recovery girl wouldn't be able to make it but off of description she said that he would be find but needed fluids and rest. Ice (courtesy of Todoroki) was placed on his engines, he had a wet towel on his head and was covered by a blanket. Most of the students had calmed down now but they wanted Iida in their line of sight. Mina tried to distract the others with a few games of truth or dare and Uno but no-one could really focus. After roughly an hour. Iida began to stir. Everyone spun around to look at him, and Aizawa stood up. Tenya groggy sat up and felt around for his glasses. He slipped them on lazily and tried to stand stumbling and falling into Aizawa's arms again. He groaned as he was put back onto the couch.
"You stay there Iida, you severely over worked your quirk, your legs will need plenty of time to rest. Your lucky it's Friday." Tenya looked up at him then to his classmates.
"I'm very sorry that I caused this much trouble, I got mixed up in a family matter and fell asleep. I had worried I would be late and ran her as quickly as possible. It seems I have only made this worse.." Iida said, head bowed. Many seemed to accept this response.. all but one.
"What 'family matter' are you talking about four eyes?" Bakugou asked eyes narrowed in a twisted form of worry and curiosity.
"I'd rather keep that private if you don't mind." Iida said as his eyes trained to his dorm room. We went to stand but stopped before settling back down into the couch. Aizawa read both the room and Iida and lifted him with his scarf.
"Alright, now that that is over everyone go to your dorms. I don't want anyone out of them until morning.. and I mean anyone." With that the crowd slowly dispersed. Aizawa had to push Mineta to his side of the building as he tried to sneak to the girls area but other than that order had been restored. Iida has trouble keeping his eyes open but once he was placed in his bed he fell asleep again almost instantly.
