Waves Find Their Land

Chapter 13: Physical Therapy

Izuku Midoriya woke up to a very pleasant feeling. His head was leaning up against a warm palm and someone's arm was wrapped around him. The other palm was laid flat on his chest and he felt the warm breath of the person behind him.

He looked down at the hand, "Who's hand is this?"

He felt movement behind him and a girl speak, "Clouds....Fluffy....."

His entire body went stiff and his face went red. He thought, "T-THAT W-WASN'T A D-DREAM! H-HOLY SHIT!"

Nejire placed nuzzled closer to Izuku, "Warm....Mmmm....."

Izuku relaxed, "G-Good m-morning N-Nejire."

She let out a tiny snore.

He smiled and rolled over to see her.

Nejire's head was at an angle to were when he rolled over her head was tilted slightly down and his head was straight in her chest. His eyes went as wide as dinner plates and his face turned blood red.

He backed up a bit but he underestimated how close to was to the edge. He fell off and his head hit the floor first, "Ow!"

Nejire body shut up, "Huh! What happened?"

Izuku was holding his head, "Ow! That stings so fucking bad!"

Nejire looked to the source of the sound, "I-Izuku!" She hopped off the bed and held his head, "W-What happened?"

His head immediately felt better with her hands on it, "F-Fell off the bed."

Nejire pulled him close and ran her hands through his hair gently, "Let me check your stitches. Will that be ok?"

He nodded and Nejire put both of her hands on the back of his head to find the exact spot the stitches were. Once she did she pulled away the hair that was covering it. She got an idea, "I-Izuku. C-Could I d-do something?"

He nodded, "W-What is it?"

She leaned down to his head and gave a small kiss to the top of his head, "Better?"

He smiled with a blush and nodded, "Y-Yeah. Um c-could you help me up? The floor isn't that comfy."

She chuckled and nodded, "Um bed or wheelchair?"

He sighed, "Can I walk?"

She shook her head, "Nope. But in a couple hours we are meeting RG at the nurses office. So you can swing that by her."

Izuku groaned, "Ugh. Fine. Wheelchair then. I wanna eat."

Nejire nodded, "No problem. Come on." She wrapped her arm around Izuku and Izuku sat himself on the bed. She then wheeled the well wheelchair over to him and he slid himself in.

As he went to put his hands on the wheels to turn them Nejire put her hands on his, "Izuku. Remember what I said yesterday?"

He sighed, "Nejire. Please? I-I just wanna be able t-to do something."

Nejire got down and looked into his eyes, "Izuku." She cupped his cheek, "You are amazing. Never doubt that. But you sometimes need to admit you need help. You are so independent and I love that but it's to the point you never wanna admit you need help." She kissed his forehead, "But you need help right now. I promise after your appointment with RG today depending on how it goes we can talk about this again ok? But until then I will do everything I can to help you. Whether you like it or not. Understand?"

He sighed, "I-I hate how much you k-know me."

She chuckled and rubbed his cheek with her hand that was still on his cheek, "Izuku. I know you wanna handle yourself but please for me. Just let me help ok? Can you?"
