The Agonising truth (BackugoxOC)

13. Burns

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in" Hearing the welcoming voice I turned the doorknob and helped Ashido in.

"Sorry for the intrusion recovery girl, but she hurt her leg during the exam."

"Place her down on the bed over there, I just need to check on this young lad then I'll be right over."

"Alright thank you." Saying my thanks I carried Ashido over to the bed and helped her on to it as she was struggling to push herself on it.

'This is perfect, I'll have to make up an excuse for me to stay here once Ashido's healed but it shouldn't take long to heal the burn.'

"Thank god you were there earlier I don't know what I would of done if you didn't come to save me, thank you so much Ayumi." I turn my head towards Ashido to see her smiling at me.

"What kind of hero would I be if I left someone who needed help." I said back giving her a smile as well.

"Not a very heroic one I guess." Laughing softly at her comeback, recovery came from the other side of the curtain.

"Alright so what the problem dearest." Hearing her words her voice reminded me of a mother talking to her young child, just like how my mouther used to do to me and Izu.

"Oh, I just hurt my ankle somehow when the big robot came out, I can't walk on it anymore." Breaking out of my thoughts I watched recovery girl pull up the blanket Ashido was underneath and inspect her injury.

"Ahh I see, I believe you've fractured your ankle. But no worries this will only take a moment to fix." Pulling the covers back down she walked slowly towards Ashido before kissing her cheek.

'Huh'

"Alright it's done now, you can leave whenever you want, preferably in the next five minutes so I can check up on the boy." Saying that her small body reached for the handle of the door before she disappeared behind it.

When the door closed behind me and Ashido shared a dumbfounded look before bursting into laughter.

"You should have seen you're face you were like- how do I put this, offended and confused at the same time." Moving my hand I caught a tear that was on my eye as a result of me and mine laughing too much.

"ME, you should have seen your face you were like the definition of, 'WHAT THE FUCK'." Continuing to laugh I grabbed my stomach trying to stop my hurting stomach.

"Anyway-." Finishing up laughing Ashido stood up not even needing my help.

"Do you feel better now." Drying my tears I faced Ashido.

"So I guess it really worked, her quirk is amazing." Ashido said while moving her foot around checking there was no pain.

"That's impressive, I wonder what kind of wound she can't heal."

"Well anyway I got to get going, you coming with." Ashido said while jumping out of bed and playing with her ankle to make sure there was no pain

"Oh, uh no I've gotta wait for someone. "

"Um, okay- I hope I'll see you at the start of school byeee" Waving her off I shut waiting for the nurse to get back. 

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Since Ashido left I had stayed in the room. I was waiting for her to come back so I could get her to at least heal it.

'Maybe with some luck she could tell me what it is, I've searched all over the internet since that appointment with Dr. Guraki and there nothing that actually fits my symptoms, even there was I'm not sure ill actually believe it.' Sitting down in the orange chair I shook my head trying to clear my thought as to not trigger any kind of pain.

'I wonder what Kachan got in the exam. He probably got way more than me. I hope Izu's doing as well. Maybe he home already. Maybe he left last minute, hopefully he listened to me.'

Pondering about what Izu could have done for a few minutes I heard footsteps coming from down the hall and a few muttered words.

"Stupid, who does he think he is to give such a great power to such a powerless boy. I should have taught him better when he was at UA." The muttering was getting louder, and I could tell it was short nurse coming back.

'I wonder what she meant by that. Ah who cares I just need some answers about this.'

The door was pushed open, and the small figure of recovery girl walked in. When she saw me she raised her eyebrow as to why I was still here.

"Ahh I hate to interrupt but I just wanted to ask for a favour." As a response recovery girl hummed to herself before looking in between me and the closed curtains. 

"Better be quick I've got to wake up this stupid boy soon." She said before walking up to me.

"Now spit it out kid."

"Oh sorry. Uh you see for a few month now I've had some problems with my quirk."

"Why are you here then, training your quirk is not my responsibility."

"Ahh well. You see my quirk is Pyrokinesis. So with the fact of not being able to control it I've started to get a burn all up my arm. It hasn't healed and instead it just keeps getting worse and worse. I thought that maybe you can do something about it." I said trying not to ramble on about what's happening.

"Alright, that's a fairer reason to come see me now stop wasting time and pull up that sleeve so I can take a look."

Following what she said I pulled up my sleeve to reveal the old bandage that covered the burn, they were still pretty tight around my arm surprisingly. I watched her expression as I carried on pulling on my sleeve until I got to my elbow. Loosening the bandage I pulled it off, some of it sticking to my arm because of the sweet of the previous workout or the cream I put on it before I covered it up again with the bandage again this morning.

Once the bandages were complete off I look towards recovery girl and saw her expression having turned from annoyed to concerned in the time I was taking off my sleeve.

"My god. You said you had this for a few months, a burn of this scale may take a while to heal on its own- but a few months. Tell me girl, when did it first appeared."

"I believe around early may last year."

"Oh god, you poor child." Reaching forward she grabbed my arm before taking a closer look at it. Her hand was holding mine gently as she couldn't touch anywhere else as it was covered with burns.

"Alright, I should be able to get this too heal in no time. But I would like you to take a break from training that quirk of your as I don't believe you have any professional teaching you. Just focus on anything else until you have one of our teachers helping you, they should be able to get this to stop happening."

She kissed the back of my hand and seconds later the burns disappeared into my skin, there wasn't even any type of scar. The best thing about it now was the fact that I could see Kachan's name clearly on my wrist.

'Maybe if I can control my fire during the burning I could stop it from happening, sorry recovery girl but it looks like I'll be training my quirk way more.'
