Deku's POV:

  Light. That's all I can see. I wonder if I'm dead.. Nope, not a chance. You don't get to die yet. Welp, there goes my dreams. Guess I'm not dead yet, asshole. Haha, suck my non-existent dick. Bleh, No thanks.

  I stare at the light that I can see, and I start to find out what else I can do. I can feel my skin when I rub my fingers together... I can hear the annoyingly steady beeping of the heart monitor that's most likely mine... I can smell the gross smell of hospital... And I can taste the gross-ness of slimy saliva. Ugh. This definitely means I'm alive. I open my eyes and am blinded by the harsh brightness of the hospital lights, almost instantly giving me a headache.

  I wonder what would happen if you looked at your arm, I mean, if it's healed any. Ugh, I swear to god if they put me in a mental hospital for this- Just look at your arm, useless mistake. Oh shut the fuck up, Blitz. I didn't ask you. I look at my arm to see that a doctor has healed it with their quirk. I look around to see if anyone is in the room and, I wish to my surprise, but it's not really surprising, that I find nobody. Not a single soul.

  Should have guessed, I thought as I sat up in the hospital bed. Hey Deku, Remember, this is your fault. you let IcyThot see them. One, please don't call Todoroki that. Two, You are the one that took control then dipped out when we saw him. I hear a click of the door and I see a doctor walk in, look at me, and say "Greetings, Midoriya, I'm Dr. Winoshu. We suspected you'd be awake by today." "Bleh, okay? And?" after saying that, the doctor looked at me like I insulted him. "I'm just gonna get you some water, your mouth must taste nasty."

  Way to scare him away. Oh please. Not like you would do anything different. "Ugh.. I just wanna leave." The doctor comes back in with a small paper cup with water in it. Like that's gonna be enough. These paper cups are bullshit. "You will have to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days to make sure you are.. ahem, physically healthy to be discharged." The doctor rambles on about what will happen, when I hear him bring up something about a therapist and pills. At that point I snapped, "Ugh.. Another therapist and more pills? Yeah, no thanks I'll pass on that offer. I've gone through 2 therapists already. If, and this is just theoretical, if they didn't help, what makes you think ANOTHER counselor will help? hm? And the pills? already on them. Anxiety? Check. ADHD? Check. Depression? Check. How's more pills going to help? If you think pumping me full of drugs is gonna help, then at least prescribe something that actually will help. Don't just go 'Here, take two of these a day, three of these a day, and one of this a day, have a decent day, sayonara, buh bye.' if it's not going to help." 

  The doctor just looked at me like nobody has ever said that to him, and I think that's because nobody ever has. He shuffles in his place a little, and says "These will help thoug-" "Will they now? I don't think the other ones that the therapist said would help actually helped. If they did, then I PROBABLY wouldn't be in this hospital bed, DON'T YOU THINK?!"

  At that point, there was a knock on the door. I answered with a "come in" and I saw Todoroki and my mom come through the door. And to my very surprise, Bakugo as well. "Oh, Izuku! are you okay?!" My mom asked, to which I replied with, "Yeah, I guess." I could see the tears coming down my mom's and Todoroki's face. But the one person that shocked me the most was Bakugo. He was crying as well. Right after I saw that, I was engulfed in a hug from my mom and Todoroki. I heard my mother sobbing, and I could hear Todoroki repeatedly apologizing. 

Todoroki's POV

  "I'm so sorry. If only I was faster. You wouldn't have passed out. And I should have been paying closer attention to my friend" That word hurts. A lot. Not only to say, but to hear it as well. I pull away from the hug, and I brush my arm wrong. I let out a very little "ow" as I feel them rub against the fabric of my sleeve.

Bakugo's POV

  I hear Todoroki say "ow" when he's pulling away from the hug with... Midoriya. I don't think I should get to be able to call him anything else than his last name. I messed up the first name basis by bullying him for being quirkless, and I'm never using that name again, unless he say's it is okay for me to.

  "K.. Bakugo? Why did you come? I thought you didn't care about me." Midoriya asked. "I came because I wanted to apologize." I said in an inaudible voice. "I'm going to go out into the hall so I can give you three some privacy," Auntie Inko said. "Yeah, I need to take a break too. I'm coming with you, Ms. Midoriya." Todoroki said, looking me in the eyes, almost telling me to do the right thing.

"Well? You didn't answer my question, Bakugo." I took a breath and I looked at him and said "I came because I wanted to apologize. Now before you say anything, D- Midoriya, I know that one simple 'sorry' won't fix 12 years of bullying and torturing and abuse. Something about what happened over the past week, and all that Ic- Todoroki told me.. It knocked some sense into me, well, I think the fight me and him had helped knock that sense in. But I want to make it up to you. However I can, and however you will let me." 

  "Wow, Bakugo, I can tell that you mean it, and you really want to become a better person, and I think not calling people by names and yelling and cussing is a big step to your goal.. However you can't just go and say that. And what do you mean by fight??" Midoriya said. "I mean we fought and I learned some things about you and Todoroki alike, but, don't take this as an insult, it's just a statement, I think you being caught up in cutting and your," I tapped my head to signify the suicidal thoughts, "to notice that someone else is dealing with the same problems. And yes I mean the same as in Blitz, too." 

  "First, I'm pretty sure nobody I know is dealing with all... this" to which he gestured to his arms and his stomach area and head, "unless you are talking about yourself. Second, how the hell do you know about Blitz?" Midoriya looked at me like an idiot.

  "No its not me. You told me about Blitz, remember?  And did you really not hear Todoroki say 'ow' when he pulled away from the hug?" I looked at him like he was an idiot. I then heard the door open again, and in walked Todoroki. "Todoroki, come here really quick please-" Midoriya said, although he was now sitting at the edge of the bed. As Todoroki walked toward Midoriya, he stood up from the bed, and gave Todoroki a hug.
