WARNINGS: angst, fluff

You raced to the hospital the moment you got the call from Kirishima.

"It's bad this time, Y/N," he had told you, his voice trembling. "We're at the hospital right now, they even called in Recovery Girl to check on him. Haven't seen her since our UA days."

It was bad. His words just raced through your mind as you headed to the hospital, running towards the room Kirishima had texted you. In the hallway, you saw Kaminari and Kirishima, allowing your run to slow to a walk before halting a few steps away from the two best friends of your boyfriend. Those two ended up becoming your best friends, too.

"Hey, Y/N..." Kirishima said softly at the sight of you, him and Kaminari closing the gap between you guys.

"Who was he fighting?" you asked, allowing Kirishima to pull you into a hug.

"Someone named V/N," Kaminari explained to you, naming out a villain you had never heard of before. "The police just came by to let his mom and us know what kind of quirk that Guy had used on him."

The two boys shared a solemn look, the anxiousness on their face giving you the worst feeling in the pit of your gut.

The door to Bakugou's hospital room opened, and the woman he resembled most came out. Her normal hard expression was taken over with grief, and the sight of her almost broke you.

She looked up and made eye contact with you, a small smile turning up at her lips.

"Y/N," she breathed out, grabbing your wrist and almost aggressively pulling you into a hug. "Oh, sweetie."

Her hands went to your hair, stroking it as if you were the one who needed soothing.

"Mom," you said softly, arms wrapping around your boyfriend's mother. "Someone please, please, tell me what's happened to Katsuki."

Pulling away, a tear fell from her eyes as she explained to you exactly what V/N's quirk does.

You stood there in shock. The looks on the faces of the three in front of you told you everything you needed to know: they were almost positive he wouldn't know you if you walked through the door.

"D-does he know?" you asked.

"About V/N's quirk? No," Mitsuki shook her head.

"Good," you said softly.

Everyone including you was a bit confused with your grateful acclamation.

"Sorry, Y/N, I'm a bit lost. Why is this good?" Kaminari asked.

Sucking in a deep breath, you let your hand fall to the handle.

"Because if he knew there was someone he should forget, there's the possibility he could fake it to please everyone else," you admitted.

You hated yourself for that statement. How you go and found out that a villain could've taken away Bakugou's ability to remember you, and the first place your mind goes to is whether or not it would be genuine.

V/N's quirk could only take away the memories of the person he loved the most romantically. As you held onto the door handle, you were unsure what would break your hurt more: walking inside that room and seeing your boyfriend look at you like a stranger, or seeing him and have him remember exactly who you were.
