kyomi's pov

The last thing Kyomi remembers before blacking out was a sharp pain to her abdomen. She also remembers that Yori looked at her really concerned. And she stopped using her quirk at the time.

And then she blacked out.

She doesn't remember dreaming much, it was mainly black.

She blinks awake, the room around her blurry. She closes her eyes again.

The next time she opens them she's fully awake.

Kyomi feels the blanket on her stomach. It seems heavier than normal. She hears people whispering, and she turns to her left.

Heartbreaker is sitting in a chair right by her bed, saying to something to a man who looks Red Riot.

"Oh! You're awake!" She exclaims when she sees Kyomi.

Red Riot gives Kyomi a smile, kisses Heartbreaker on the head while telling her he'll talk to her later, and leaves the room.

"What...what happened?" Kyomi manages to say.

"We had a mission, and near the end you were impaled. Luckily, we could take you out as soon as possible. You've been out of it for the past four days."

"Four days?" Kyomi tries not to yell.

After the initial shock wears off, she remembers something.

"Where's Yori? Is she okay?"

Heartbreaker points to Kyomi's bed and just looks back at her.

"I'll give you two a minute. I'll be right outside if you need me," she stands up to leave the room.

It's at that moment when Kyomi realizes her blanket is not unusually heavy. There's an arm lying across her stomach.

And a blue haired girl curled into her side, face on her shoulder.

Yori is fast asleep, her breath steady. But, she seems to be holding Kyomi pretty tightly.

"Yori," she says.

No response. She leans in closer.

"Yoriiii"

The other girl stirs a little.

"Mmphf" was the sound that came from her.

A minute or so later, Yori picks her head up.

"You're awake," she says.

Kyomi can tell she's trying not to smile. She's going an ok job. Yori's face is also right above hers.

Kyomi can feel her heart pound in her throat.

"No shit," is all she can manage.

"How are you feeling?" Yori picks her hand up and brushes a stray piece of hair from the other's face.

"Fine," Kyomi says.

Yori nods.

"Kyo?" she asks.

"Yeah?" She looks at her expectantly.

"I..."

Yori hesitates.

"Never mind. I should go"

She crawls off the bed and walks to the door.

"I'll talk to you later," she turns around and says before leaving.

A minute later Heartbreaker walks in.

"Have you still not told her how you feel?"

"How do you know how I feel?"

"Kyomi, you forgot I can hear your heart. It races every time she gets too close to you."

"What if I'm just afraid of her?"

"You also blush sometimes."

Kyomi groans and lays her head back into the pillow.

"It doesn't matter anyways. She doesn't like me like that. And she barely liked me as a person until like...last week. So no"

Heartbreaker laughs.

"Talk to her. You'd be surprised."

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
