"Seems like everything is healing well and your fever is gone" you explain while jotting down notes on your clipboard, "I'll quickly go grab your release form and I'll come back here to explain everything" he nods with a happy expression while you leave.

Shortly after you leave, Kaminari slams the door open.

"GUESS WHOSE HERE!" Kaminari and Sero drags Bakugo into the room.

"BAKUBRO!" Kirishima yells

"So what's the news shitty hair? You leaving this dump or what?" Bakugo stubbornly asks how his friend was

"Yep! The Doctor is coming back with the release papers as we speak! I'm surprised you didn't see her" Kirishima grins from ear to ear

"We stopped by the toilets because Bakubro had to pee" Sero explains

"Even pissing these two won't leave me alone" Bakugo spat in annoyance

"Looks like tonight's dinner is a celebration!"

***

While standing at the reception to write the release papers you rub the back of your aching neck.

"We have to stop running into each other like this!?" Shinso sarcastically spoke letting out a deep chuckle seeing you roll your eyes at him.

"Shut up troll hair" rubbing the back of your neck

"Sore neck?" He questions as you tiredly nod.

Suddenly Camie calls your name running up to you and Shinso.

"Oh! Shinso you're working here today?" She asks eyeing him in his white coat

"Yep speaking of which, I'll be back, I'll get something for you neck kitten" He pats your head playfully before walking away

"Ooh~ Kitten~ is Shinso why you don't want to go to the mixer?" Camie teases as you roll your eyes

"That's just his stupid nickname for me, what are you doing here?" Looking at her in confusion, she was a full time hero and didn't seem to have any injuries

"Denki is here with Sero visiting his friend and we're going out for Kbbq" she smiles, "and since I know you're about to clock out for work want to join us?" She looks at you like a pleading puppy.

"Pass" you reply while the nurse hands you a clipboard with the release form as Camie continues to try and convince you.

"Come on~ I'll pay and everything! Plus let's be real, you're going to go buy convenience store food anyways, might as well have some real food" A sigh escapes your lips, you hated how much she knew about you and how tempting the offer sounded. It was the end of the week and you have the next two days off.

"Fine but you're paying for my drinks" Immediately Camie squeals while pulling you in a tight hug, "let me just talk to my last patient then I'll grab my things" She nods enthusiastically while you begin walking back to Kirishima with Camie beside you.

"Camie.. you know I'm going to talk to a patient right?" You ask her but she simply nods.

"Denki said he's in room 265 and to meet him there"

"room 265?" You look down at your clipboard and there you wrote 'Ejiro Kirishima, Room 265' A tired sigh escapes your lips as you realise that the dinner Camie invited you too is the same one Mina tried inviting you to, mere moments ago.

The both of you stop outside room 265 as Camie looks at you.

"Wait- you're the doctor!?" Her voice came out slightly louder than she expected attracting attention from inside the room. Denki slides the door open.

"Camie! You're here-" Kaminari blankly blinks at you, taking a few seconds to register, "You're the doctor!?"

"OI DUNCE FACE MOVE OUT THE WAY SO WE CAN LEAVE ALREADY!" A familiar voice yells from inside the room.

Dunce face?

Kaminari moves while you and Camie enter.

Immediately your gaze locks with crimson irises you haven't seen in 15 years as both of you remained silent and frozen. Your heart begins pounding, from excitement or shock — I'll leave it up to you.

Bakugo wants to call out your name but his voice was stuck in his throat.

"Dr l/n? you know my friends?" Kirishima looks at you in confusion finally snapping you back into work mode. You clear your throat ignoring the feeling of wanting to hug Bakugo and making your way to stand by Kirishima's bed.

"Um.." you rub the back of your neck while sheepishly smiling, "looks like I do, unfortunately one of them more than the other" you mumble the last line

"Really!?" Mina squeals excitedly, "does that mean you know Bakubitch?" She points at Bakugo while Kaminari and Sero launches to stop Bakugo from acting out.

You let out small chuckle seeing how your childhood friend hasn't changed one bit despite being a fully grown adult, "I see you're still the same sparky" you tease him as he scoffs. The rest of the room giggles from the nickname.

"Shut up, what's a wet mop like you doing here anyways? I thought you'd be sipping tea with the queen or some shit" He spat back

"did you finally blind yourself with your quirk or are you just plain stupid?" Raising an eyebrow at him while the others make an oooh sound effect,

"Fuck off y/n, go do your job" he huffs sitting on one of the chairs

"Gladly" playfully smiling at him before turning to Kirishima, "Sorry you had to see that, anyways I'm here to go through your release forms" Kirishima nods in slight disbelief on what just happened, "unfortunately for you, I advise against doing hero work for the next week since your wounds are still healing and we need to make sure they wounds won't open up or get infected again, also no heavy lifting within that week for the same reasons. I will however prescribe you pain killers which you should only take when necessary. Finally I'll schedule a check up next week and if you have any queries don't hesitate to come by" you explain

Although you're talking to Kirishima about all the things he wouldn't be able to do the next week, all Bakugo can do is stare is awe. Even though he was slightly annoyed he just wants to hug you again like old times.

In his eyes you still haven't changed too much, your hair was longer, your face was older, yet still beautiful, but most importantly your personality remained the same and especially that smile he missed seeing. It was a sense of longing for you that he didn't realise how bad it was until you were in his line of sight, yet you still felt out of reach from him.
