All For Them

17

No sooner did the nurse open the door to reveal the hospital room containing Izuku, Shoto, and Ida did I close the distance with a loud lung full of air from the breath I had been holding, as I took Izuku into my trembling arms.

Izuku paused his conversation with the other boys as I held him tighter than I'd ever held him before and tried to catch my breath. "Y-yuna?!" He managed to stammer out.
"Shut up for a minute! Just... just let me hold you ok?" I whisper and I feel him relax into my arm with a little nod, just like when we were younger.
I kept his face pushed against me so could let the tears flow down my red cheeks without him seeing.
I had been so afraid when Hawks told me he'd been hurt that I'd assumed the worst but thankfully he seemed generally ok, all be it a bit beaten up but honestly I was probably worse off than he was considering the blood running down my back, and side,... and forehead. When did I ear open my arm? Oh yeah. When I crash landed. Damn light post... I hope I didn't break it.
As I began to calm down I dried my eyes and pulled back to look him over gently before taking his shoulders in my hands. "Now. Tell me. Why were you anywhere near the hero killer?"
Ida cleared his throat and moved to stand off his bed, "that would be my doing Yuna." He said with his usual stiffness and he bowed to me, "I encountered the hero killer and thought I could take him out on my own but Izuku and Shoto came to my rescue in just the nick of time. I am terribly sorry if my actions caused you any worry."
I looked over at Ida and sighed. It was hard to be angry at these boys. They were all just knuckleheads with big hearts.
"Thank you Ida... I understand. Honestly I do... doing stupid things for the people you love, I think it is an honorable trait to have. Even tonight I've done some pretty stupid shit just to get here and make sure this broccoli head was still breathing." I say as I move to pull izuku back to my chest so we can lay back in the bed.
"How did you get here so fast anyway? We've only been here for about 10 minutes." Shoto asked from his bed.
I chuckled nervously and looked off, "ahh well ya see..."
"And why are you covered in blood?" Ida chimmed and my face turned red again.
"Oh its um... a funny story ya see I was on patrol with Hawks and I came across someone robbing a bodega and he may have had a gun... that may have gotten a lucky hit or two...' I said as I avoided looking izuku in the eye because I could feel his pouty glare on me.
"Yuna! You're telling me you have a bullet wound and you're not seeing a doctor right now?!" He whined.
"Oh its really not that bad! My back is the worst of it and I can handle that..."
"What's wrong with your back?!" Izuku pulled me forward and lifted up the back of my bloody shirt. 'Yuna!" He yelled in shock. "What happened? I can see your ribs!"
I winced as the cold air of the room rushed over my exposed flesh and I bit my lip. "I... kinda, sorta, maybe stole Hawks' quirk to get here after he told me you'd gotten hurt..."
The room was silent for a long time as the boys all stared at me in disbelief.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Izuku yelled and I sighed, rubbing my ears at the high pitched voice.
"I'm fine! I swear I'm fine." I said as I tried to calm izuku down but... nope. There he went on his little tirade while dear old class rep Ida decided to join in on the scolding.

I laid back in izukus bed, knowing there was no stopping those two and I slowly succumbed to sleep, exhausted and drained from the day and my wounds and now content on the knowledge Izuku and my friends were safe.

I was slowly forced from sleep by the sun on my face and hushed voices talking next to me where I slept with Izuku on my chest.
"Yes. Don't worry. I'll get her and meet you down in the exam room." Said one of the voices before I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Kid?"
I slowly peaked my eyes open and moaned as the light burned my eyes and made my head pound. Once my vision cleared I saw it was Hawks smiling gently down at me. "Come on kid. We gotta get tou checked out and clean up your friends bed. You kinda bled all over it."
I whimper as I slowly sit up and finally feel the pain in my body. A male nurse comes over and takes Izuku gently from my arms, taking care to let him sleep.
"Don't worry miss. We'll take good care of your friends." He assured before placing izuku in the spare bed in the room while Hawks lifted me from the bloody one and I curled close to him.
"Hurts huh?" He mused as he carried me from the room.
I nod weakly and close my eyes to try and sleep more and he chuckles. "It's OK kid. I've gotcha." He assures, "just rest."
