We Missed You!

--
When I woke up, I was lying down on what felt like a bed and staring at a white ceiling with bright lights. I thought I was in my room at first, until I heard a few voices.

"She'll wake up any minute now, don't worry." I'm pretty sure that was recovery girl's voice. I couldn't see who she was talking so I lifted my head, only to be greeted with a stinging pain all over my neck, so I plopped my head back onto the pillow.

"I'm awake.." I said quietly, I couldn't get my voice to go any higher, so I just hoped that whoever was there heard me.

"Shoya."

"Todoroki..?" I could tell it was his voice loud and clear but I had to make sure, plus he's the only one who calls me by my first name. On command the two-toned boy showed up right by the side of my bed, with an extremely worried look on his face.

"Shosho you're awake!"

"Toma.." I weakly gave my childhood friend a smile.

Behind Toma and Todoroki were all my other classmates, everyone was here.

Everyone, except for Bakugou.

I pushed the thought of the porcupine blonde to the back of my head and focused on the people in front of me.

"What's with this Todoroki nonsense? I thought we were sho and sho?" Todoroki playfully nudged my arm with a fist. I smiled at first but it quickly turned into a frown. I still felt so guilty for what had happened in Hosu, plus I destroyed the classroom because I was so careless. I didn't deserve to be his friend.

"I'm sorry.." This time I didn't bother to hold back the tears, they just flowed as I spit out all my sorrows to my classmates. "Back in Hosu.. I didn't help you guys because I was too busy fighting with Bakugou and you got hurt. I could have helped and brought the heroes sooner if I had just stopped fighting with him for one second. And now, the classroom is a wreck and practically burned to a crisp because I couldn't control myself. All of these bad things happened because I was so focused on Bakugou that I hurt you guys and caused you trouble. I'm so sorry."

My breath hitched and I hiccuped between a few words, but everyone still heard me loud and clear. It was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat as if was playing over the loud speaker. I didn't expect them to forgive me or accept my apology, but I had to do it.

Suddenly I felt arms around my neck and the warmth of another body pressing into me. Uraraka had hugged me and without hesitating I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her back. The position was a little awkward since I was sitting up on the bed and she was standing, but it was still really nice.

"You did nothing wrong. We missed you so much." She whispered in my ears. That only caused the tears to come out more frequently.

"Is that why you've been avoiding us?" Jirou asked me.

Uraraka pulled away and I nodded to answer the question while I was wiping away my tears.

"Things happen you know, so you and Bakugou went a little overboard big deal. We've all been there." Kirishima said.

"Yeah especially with Bakugou, it makes the most sense that he'd be the one to make you upset anyways cmon!" Kaminari reassured.

"The three of us are okay, Mineha. You sent us pros as fast as you could that day, you did everything right." Midoriya stepped forward to stand next to Todoroki.

"You're such a drama queen shosho! You distanced yourself because you thought you hurt the others when really everyone missed you! We're all your friends, you can come talk to us y'know." Toma gave me his snarky remarks but there was a sense of sincerity behind his statement.

They all gathered around me and one by one started going on about how they missed hanging out with me and all the things I missed out on. Sato promised that when I got back to the dorms he would bake a cake to celebrate and told me I could put the icing on and pick the flavor. Everyone was being so kind and thoughtful, it started to feel like I wasn't alone anymore.

"Alright alright, give her some space now." Mr. Aizawa broke through the group of students so that he could be directly in front of me. "Mineha, you've been asleep for three days. Midnight knocked you out during the fight."

THREE DAYS?!?

"I'm glad to see you're awake and doing alright, but there is a lot we have to talk about. Head over to the classroom once Recovery Girl is done with your wounds." He put his hand on my head and lightly patted it. He didn't say anything afterwards, but I could tell he has also forgiven me.

_____

Recovery Girl finished putting the final touches on all my wounds as best as she could. The rest of the students had also left and said they would meet me at the dorms so we could all hang out together. Todoro- I mean, Shoto, even said that his father wasn't mad anymore and that I could come back to work for him in the future.

Things seemed to be looking up.

When I was all done with my treatment, I put on my black hoodie and grabbed my stuffed teddy bear. Toma told me that he had brought my hoodie and bear from my room so that way they could help me recovery faster. He was such a sap, but a good friend too.

I was headed to the classroom with a lollipop in my mouth that I stole from Recovery Girl's office, when I saw a tuff of blonde spiky hair headed toward me.

It was Bakugou, and his arm was in a sling.

"Hey."
