Burn Me (Bakugo x Reader)

Chapter Five

Metallic.

The familiar taste saturated your mouth as you slowly drifted into a reality you were numb to.

Your eyes stung as if you had a staring contest against the sun and lost. Your eyelids felt heavy, like they had thin oil soaked over them. Your parched throat was dry like sandpaper while the cracks on your chapped lips burned.

After a few moments, your body came back to your control. You felt every muscle crying out in agony as you slowly moved your head taking in the nearby surroundings. White ceiling tiles greeted you, the walls were starch white with the faint smell of bleach lingering in the air.

"(y/n)?" The sound of your name stung your head, "Hey, welcome back-!" A woman with a round face smiled so sweetly, "-you were beginning to worry us; I didn't think you would ever wake up!"

"Wha-?" You breathed, your face scrunching together.

"Do you feel any pain?" The woman quickly questioned as she leaned over you, pressing buttons on a machine. This woman smelt like soft flowers. "You might feel a little disoriented, that is normal, ok?"

"Where am I?" You find words to speak.

"You were brought to Hosu General Hospital about two weeks ago."

"No, I-" You gazed around the empty room, why were you in a hospital? Your eyes instantly widened, recalling the fight against Shadow Jack. "-where-where are Shiro and Gray?" You were already breathless, your heart rate spiked as you struggled to get out of bed, but silver handcuffs kept you in place.

"You shouldn't get up yet-!" The woman protested, attempting to softly keep you still, her long brunette hair fell over her shoulder.

"Hey-!" A deep voice entered the room, "-it's ok!" Soft hands gripped your shoulders, pushing you back against the hospital bed. Your wide eyes turned to the figure, taking him in your heart almost stopped beating.

"A-All Might?" You breathed, stunned to see your childhood hero staring you in the face. He was your bright light in the dark, why was someone like him here?

"Yes." All Might chuckled, nodding his head. "Everything is ok, you are safe. Shiro and Gray are just at their physical therapy right now."

"Physical...what?"

"You are free (y/n)." All Might proudly state, "All three of you are."

"Why are we in a hospital?" Your skull felt like it was spilling open, and your brain tried to burst out to freedom.

"To be honest-" The woman spoke up, "-I am surprised your even alive."

"Why?" You wondered,

"If it wasn't for your healing ability from whatever quirk you possess, I am positive you would have died from the injuries inflicted on you."

"I don't have a healing quirk."

"Mm-" The woman grinned; "-your body says differently. You have only been here for two weeks, but your body is months well into its recovery."

You looked down at your wrapped arms, a white hospital blanket was draped over your bottom half.

"When we first got you-" The woman continued, "-I honestly thought you were going to die-"

"Doctor!" All Might hissed, the doctor raised her hand, shutting up the large hero.

"-but when you didn't, you surprised not only me but the entire staff here. You're resilient, I suppose you would have to be to survive what you went through."
