Paging Dr. Deku

73: React

"Hey! Midoriya's back!" 

"Oh, everyone's back. Am I the last one?" Izuku asked, acting like everything that happened earlier that day was just a dream. 

"Nah, we're just waiting on Bakugo, but he might not show up to join dinner with us." Kaminari answered. 

'That's only because I told Kei-kun to go up to our room and wait 5 minutes before coming down so we don't get caught walking in together.' Izuku thought. 

"Hey Deku-chan, I tried looking for you earlier, but I didn't know where you went." Uraraka said, walking up to the greenette. 

"Oh, I was just walking around the island, since it's been a while since the last time I was here. It was a really nice walk I had." Izuku answered, hoping her excuse would be believable since she didn't stutter to answer.

"There's Bakugo!" 

Izuku tried to remain calm and didn't look up at the blond just so no one would question her reaction. 

"Was everyone waiting on me?" Kei asked. 

"Of course! And now that we're all here, we can finally eat! I'm starving!" 

"Yeah, me too!" 

Izuku looked over at the kitchen and saw all the sides and dishes and was surprised. 

"Oh, did everyone cook something, I feel bad I didn't come sooner to help." Izuku said. 

"No need to worry, Midoriya, as the locals heard this was our last night here on the island and gave us all this food as a thank you gift!" Iida explained. 

"Oh, well that was really nice of them." she mumbled. 

'I have to make sure not to sit near Kei-kun just so no one makes me look like the 'greedy girl' even though me, Kacchan and Kei-kun are dating... That sounds really bad in my head, let's just not mention Kei-kun since no one knows about Kacchan's condition.' Izuku thought.

"Hooey! That hit the spot!" 

"No kidding, that was a full on feast." Kaminari and Jiro commented after finishing their dinner. 

"I haven't eaten like that in a long time." 

"Yeah, especially since we're all heroes, we barely even have time to eat just enough food for a short time." Kirishima and Yaoyorozu noted. 

"Oh yeah, how's working as a doctor, Midoriya?" Mina asked. 

"Ah? Me?" 

"Yeah, you've been a doctor for 2 years, but you've barely talked about it since you retired from hero stuff." Tsuyu noted. 

'Have I really not told them anything? Then again, no one ever asked about my work as a doctor in the past so I never brought it up.' Izuku thought. 

"I mean... There's nothing really special about me changing from being a hero to a doctor. The hours are a lot longer and I barely get enough hours of sleep. I think I've actually lost a bit of weight since being a doctor." Izuku explained.

"Oh yeah, and have any of your patients tried to crush on you or get your number?" Uraraka asked, leaning towards the greenette. 

"Ah- I mean when I started working as a doctor, it happened a few times, but not recently." Izuku answered, barely looking at the brunette. 

"Really? Then have any of your patients told you they would break up with their girlfriends to try and date you?" Uraraka asked, trying to break the greenette.
