Kai POV

I groan and open my eyes to bright lights. I look around when a doctor walks in.

Doctor: "You're awake."

Kai: "How long was I out?"

Doctor: "A few days. You recovered faster than we thought."

The doctor walks to my bed and prepares his clipboard.

Doctor: "While you were out we patched you up the best we could. But the damage to your spine was more than we expected. Can you move your toes?"

I look down and try to wiggle my toes. I sigh when nothing happens. My hopes are lifted when my toe wiggles.

Doctor: "Astounding. You really are a special person."

He writes on his clipboard while I smile.

*later that day*

Doctor: "You can do it."

I grab the rails and force my foot forward. I only get a couple of steps before I slightly fall.

Kai: "Dang it."

Doctor: "It's oaky. You'll get the hang of it. Healing takes time."

I nod and pick myself up again. And so over the next three days I pushed my body learning how to walk again. Once I managed that I was able to leave the hospital and return home. 

However despite all this I still have a limp and require a cane. I wave goodbye to my doctor and head back to UA. Once I get there I see everyone laughing at Denki.

Kai: "Glad to see everyone smiling."

They all turn and run to me.

Kirishima: "You're looking well."

Kai: "You saying I normally don't?"

Mina: "We're just glad to see you okay. You had no idea how heartbreaking it was watching you fight."

Kai: "Glad to see you all cared about me."

Iida: "You're our classmate, we have to look after each other."

Tsuyu: "What's up with the white streak?"

Kai: "I don't know, doctor said it's been like that ever since the fight."

Uraraka: "It makes you look cool."

Sero: "Really adds to your character."

Momo: "Let's go check out the dorms."

We nod and head inside. Later that night I sigh while sitting down on the couch. 

Toru: "Hey Kai."

Kai: "Yeah?"

Toru: "What was it like, fighting that man?"

I look and see everyone is curious.

Kai: "Scary. Felt like at any moment he was gonna squash me like a bug. It's only thanks to my quirk that I won. Despite that, while I was in the coma the only thing I could think about was the fight. Every moment of it. The power behind each of his attacks rippling through my body. All the time time I could see his face and his attack coming. I wanted nothing more than for it to stop. That's why I'm glad I woke up, it took me away from that nightmare."

I look at my hand which begins to tremble. That's when Uraraka grabs my hand.

Uraraka: "It'll be okay Kai, while you're with us you won't ever have to worry about that ever again."

Iida: "We're here for you, if there's ever anything you need don't be afraid to ask."

Kai: "Thanks guys."

Toru: "Why don't we see each other's rooms and see who has the coolest?"

Kirishima: "Good idea, maybe that'll take your mind off everything you went through."

Kai: "Then let's do it."

We get up and the first room we see is Deku's. I knew he had a fascination with All might, but this is a little weird. There's paraphernalia of him all over the room. Everything from posters to All Might themed sports bottles.

Mina: "You're certainly a fan."

Next is Tokoyami who stands in front of his door. I simply nudge him away and enter his room.

Toru: "So dark and scary."

We search Yuga's room and just find it all sparkly and glittery.

Uraraka: "There's just one more room on this floor, which is..."

Deku: "Kai's."

Mina: "Come on!"

They march to my door and open it revealing my room.

Mina: "It's..."

Momo: "Not what I expected."

Kai: "What did you expect?"

Denki: "Workout machines and possibly several punching bags."

Kai: "Well sorry to disappoint."

After checking out everyone else's rooms we head back to the living room to cast votes.

Mina: "And the winner with the coolest room is... Sato."

Mineta: "What!?! How'd he win!?"

Mina: "That cake was a great incentive."

Mineta/Denki: "You no good traitor!!!!"
