Shangri La Pt. 1

124: Delinquency

'I'll only take a short nap, then it's back to research.' she thought as she quickly dozed off into a deep sleep.

Not long after she fell asleep though, the sound of footsteps echoed onto the floor and approached the greenette. They knelt down and looked at her as she was in a peaceful sleep that could only make them chuckle. 

"Heh– So this is where you ran off to." Katsuki muttered, staring at the sleeping greenette.

( Note: I think it's about time we do a little flashback to what Katsuki's been doing these past couple of days without Izumi knowing about it, yes? Yes! )

( Flashback to the previous day while Izumi was busy shooting arrows in the training grounds! )

'Geez– When's the last time I slept in the stables like that? I barely got any sleep. If only Izuku didn't do that...' Katsuki thought as he rested his hand over his neck as his cheeks got red. 

'I wouldn't have kept thinking about it and might've gotten some sleep. Whatever, let's just see if that doctor can help me hide this and do another favor for me.' Katsuki thought as he felt he needed to keep his hand over his neck in case anyone would pass and see it. 

He knew that what he needed to do this early in the morning had to be quick, as he was more worried if the greenette managed to leave or escape this place without him knowing, let alone see her get hurt by something. And so after rushing through the halls, Katsuki approached a large pair of wooden doors that would indicate where the doctor could be located. 

'Let's get this over with.'

Without even knocking, Katsuki entered the room right away as he pushed the doors open and yelled; "Yah! If you're here doc, show your face!" 

There was nothing but silence after his voice echoed through the dark room, and it was clear that Katsuki was impatient. 

"Answer me!" 

"Yes yes, I hear you." 

"Huh?" 

With the spark of a subtle flame, the room lit up in seconds for the very same doctor that treated Izumi the day prior to appear before the blond. 

"'Yawn~' If you'd have waited another hour, I would've been awake already." Takashi yawned as he tried to put on his glasses since his eyes were still adjusting to the morning. 

"You're a doctor, shouldn't you be awake all the time?" 

"That's not how it works, Captain Bakugo. So, what can I do you–" 

As his eyes finally fluctuated and he could focus on what was in front of him, Takashi stopped to see the situation the blond was dealing with as he could only see the splotches of pink and red on his neck.

It was clear from just the distance the doctor and the blond were standing that Takashi instantly knew that Katsuki's situation needed to be... 'fixed'. 

"Uh huh, it seems I already know the problem, hence I'm not even going to ask who was responsible." Takashi noted as he turned to his table filled with all different kinds of bottles filled with all sorts of colors of liquids inside. 

"Yah– What're you doing?" 

"It's right~ here. This one should do the trick." Takashi muttered as he grabbed a bottle with a pink liquid inside and turned to face the blond. 

"What's that?" 

"Drink it." 

"What? Why?" 

"Because it will fix those little marks and bites that are covering your neck–that you're so worried about." Takashi answered, only making Katsuki blush harder.
