  I gasped and the crutches slipped sending me tumbling backwards. The man dove forward and caught me by my waist, my legs flailed and I grabbed onto his shoulders.

"Are you that miserable, princess?" The man in black said.

Shit, I would know that low voice from anywhere, it was degrading, polluting my mind with vicious thoughts. I couldn't take it.

"Infirmary. I'm getting out of this hellhole." I spat in his face, inches from him. "Your starving me, I'm not staying here."

He stayed quiet, all I could hear was his breathing. He pulled me up and grabbed my stuff. He princess carried me, putting the stuff in my lap, turned around and started walking down the hallway.

I could feel his cold fingertips holding underneath my kneecaps, it made me shiver. All I could think about was his hand wrapped around my waist and clasped around my stomach. I was going through a rollercoaster it felt like, and I wanted to punch him. I bobbed up and down just a little with every step of his. My ear was pressed to his chest and I could hear the soft and calm thumps every second. He was extremely warm, more than likely because he wore winter looking clothes. My hands were wrapped around my stuff as every now and then it would graze his hand on my waist. It sent waves of shock every time.

We reached the infirmary and I looked up at him in confusion, he strode in and a dim light sat in the corner. Recovery Girl sat in her desk with reading glasses skimming papers. He went over and sat me on a bed beside her. I turned to my side and watched as Aizawa stood in front of her,

"Oh, hello dear, I didn't see you come in. Is there something wrong?" She asked looking up and taking off her glasses, she folded them and set them down.

He nodded his head to the side where I sat, "Returning her, apparently I starved her."

"Shota, really?" She sighed and stood up, walking over to me. "Are you hungry dear?"

I shook my head, "Not anymore, I ate two energy bars."

She swiftly turned to Aizawa and glared at him. He looked away and put his hands in his pockets. Recovery Girl pulled the blanket over me and smiled,

"I'm sorry dear, you can stay here for as long as you need. Don't worry about Aizawa, he won't be bothering you anymore, will he?" She said and whipped her head over to Aizawa.

He turned to leave, looking at me as he left, then closed the door behind him. I sighed, I felt like a big weight had been lifted from my shoulders, I felt lighter. He had a nice apartment but it was so suffocating, being deprived of food and fun. He probably did that on purpose, to see when I would pop. I mean he did take me back to the infirmary so maybe he was waiting for me to burst. That annoyed me, who is he to make me suffer like that? I don't even know who he is but he can choke for all I care.

"It's late, best you cozy up and fall asleep. I'll be either at my desk or across the hall." She said and pointed, I nodded and she walked over to her desk sitting down.

Eventually I dozed off to sleep, even though it was a bit hard considering my mind was racing.

It was morning, and I startled, looking around wondering where I was. The infirmary, honestly i could barely remember last night, some of it was a blur. I remember eating two energy bars, they were disgusting. I sighed and sat up, I could hear someone cluttering around. I turned to see Recovery Girl searching through cabinets. She moved her head and spotted me at the corner of her eye,

"Oh, you're awake. Good morning, are you hungry?" She asked walking over to me.

Honestly I feel like I haven't been this cared for since daycare, my parents never cared for me so I can't say them. It feels really nice, Recovery Girl in a way almost feels like a guardian angel, it's sweet.

I nodded, she smiled and asked, "What would you like? The staff cafe provides cereal, pancakes, eggs, etc."

"Cereal, if you don't mind." I smiled back and she nodded walking to the door, leaving.

I waited and waited, it seemed to take a very long time, what was she doing? Well getting cereal, but I don't think it takes that long, or does it? Maybe the cafe is packed today. I heard a creak and I whipped my head over to the door. Aizawa stood in the doorway, his figure framing most of the way. I scowled and turned to my side. Even though inside my body pulsed at the sight on his tall figure, just leaning there. As I was turned to my side I quietly sucked in a breath, as footsteps got closer.
