Amnesia

Chapter 16

They turned to face the open door, and there stood recovery girl. She went to scold the two until she saw Monoma staring at her, his bandages gone and his face as good as new. She paused, then sighed.

"I don't know what happened in here and I don't think I want to know." She said as she walks further into the room, heading to a stack of papers and flicking through them until she finds the one she needs. "Right, you two skedaddle, I need to examine the boy to make sure his face has actually healed properly, then I can dismiss him. You can wait outside for your new friend or don't it's all the same to me."

The two don't say anything, but stand and bow to the elderly woman, and turn to leave, closing the door behind them. They begin walking down the hallway when Todoroki realises he doesn't hear a second pair of footsteps, and turns to see Y/N standing a bit further back. Unsure of why she had stopped, he opens his mouth to question her, but she beats him to it.

"Todoroki... How do I face everyone? What do I even say? I was meant to be making friends with everyone again, but instead... I think I might have scared them away..." she stares at the floor. He could see the worry in her face, and he's not one for reading peoples emotions very easily. He thought back to the conversation he heard his classmates having last night.

"They're all worried about you." She looks back up to him, making eye contact, a look of disbelief but also hope on her face. "They were talking about it last night. They were all wondering what had happened to you. Some did worry you had given in to some 'dark temptations', but then Bakugo jumped in saying how something had taken over you, that you weren't you, and you even asked him for help. He said your eyes were pitch black, it was like you weren't there. Then he told them to 'stop talking crap' about you. Then they were even more worried."

She covered her face, and strange noises came out of her. Todoroki was scared she had started to cry and almost panicked. Until she burst out with laughter, trying to talking but struggling to between her laughing fit.

"Todoroki haha I never haha thought I'd haha hear you swear haha." She continued to laugh for a little longer until she managed to gain her composure back, wiping a happy tear from her eye. The boy found it unbelievably cute, but began to pout as he realised it was him she was laughing at. "Come on, let's go home."

She grabbed his hand, and pulled him along the corridor. She turned and smiled a brilliant smile at him. His heart turned to mush at the site and the fact that he was the reason she was happy. He had made her happy.

Soon they had found themselves stepping into the dorms, everyone in the main area turned their heads, only expecting to see Todoroki, but seeing her too was a shock for most of them. They were all so happy to see her, though some more than others.

"Y/N!" The girls came bounding up to her, enveloping her into a big group hug. They laughed together, and she was touched they were really this happy to see her. The boys soon gathered around them, each of them saying hi.

"It's so good to have you back, we were all a little worried about you. Don't scare us like that again okay?" Kirishima said, standing infront of her, rubbing the back of his neck. She didn't like it when he looked nervous, and frowned a little. A lightbulb went off in her head, and she did the thing she had started doing to most people. She reached up and pet his head, smiling at him in the warmest way she could. He stood there for a second, then shined his famous shark tooth grin.

Another figure had made its way up to them, and when she turned to look she made eye contact with deep red eyes, with his ever present frown. He looked down at them smaller girl as Kirishima backed away, seeing his best friend wanted a bit of a moment with the girl.

"You you again?" was all he said. He couldn't think of anything to say as he stared into her big E/C eyes, so happy they were back to normal. Not many things scare Bakugo Katsuki, but every time he thinks about those eyes, and her cry for help, it sends shivers down his spine. He couldn't imagine losing her, it was hard enough for him when she was in that coma. Even with the personality change, he knew she was still her, he just couldn't imagine her never smiling agai-

His thoughts were cut off as he felt her small frame wrap around him in a hug. He must have been day dreaming, he hadn't even seen her move, only the feeling of her around him had brought him back to his senses. He began blushing like crazy, knowing everyone was seeing this.

"I'm me. Thank you for saving me, Katsuki." Those words were enough to drive him feral. No one else heard them from all the talking, but it didn't stop them from seeing the hug, or seeing Bakugo grab her arm and drag her away. The girls squealed, but the boys frowned.

She didn't question him and just followed, which Bakugo was rather greatful for. He took her to a room, opened the door, pulled them both inside, then shut it behind him. Looking around she guessed it was his room, small and simple, a few dumbells here and there, a desk and his bed. It didn't take long before she found herself engulfed in a hug, a deep meaningful hug. He was afraid to lose her, and the hug showed it.

"Don't... don't you scare me like that again... first you tell me you're scared you're not a good person, then you beat the shit out of Monoma for talking shit about us. Then you don't even look like you anymore, or like it wasn't you in your body or some shit. Then you ask for help... I couldn't even come and see you in the infirmary, our stupid teacher went every chance he got, and those stupid girls and stupid Deku and shitty hair. I... I didn't know if I had actually saved you." He finally got out most of what he had wanted to say, as he buried his head into her neck, needing to feel her heat, to know she was alive.

She listened to his rant and rubbed small circles on his back. Her heart warmed at his words. She pulled his head back and leaned her forehead against his, staring into his eyes.

"You did save me Bakugo. I'm sorry I scared you. You're my hero."
