Pain

Chapter Eight

"Could you go get the nurse?"

Katsuki started to shift so that he could climb out of the hospital bed. "Sure, why? Are you ok?"

I waved dismissively. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to see if she would cut my foot off."

He fell off of the bed. "Kat! Are you ok?" I leaned over to see him laying on the floor.

"Hold on. Back up. What the fuck did you just say to me?"

"...To go get the nurse...?"

"Don't play stupid! Why the hell do you want her to cut your foot off!? You're supposed to get discharged today!"

"Yeah, but my foot is all screwed up since it got ripped off and I had to speed grow it while trying not to die."

"YOUR FOOT GOT WHAT!?" He leapt to his feet.

"Well, technically Shigiraki disintegrated my ankle and my foot fell off."

"I'm gonna kill him."

"Aww. Are you worried about meeee?" I cooed.

"Worried about your mental state." 

"Look, just go get the nurse."

"No! For all I know you'll convince her! What if if doesn't grow back?"

"It already has once. I'll prove it! Give me a knife."

"What the fuck? No!" 

I was trying to persuade him when the rest of the class burst in.

"Himaraki!" They called, walking in on my hanging off of the bed, my arms wrapped around Kat's waist.

I sat up. "Guys! Does anyone have a knife?"

"I do!" Kirishima stepped forward.

"No! Himaraki, I said no! You're a fucking psycho!" He stepped in between us.

"I just want to show you! A finger only takes like ten minutes!"

"And what are you gonna do with the old one? Toss it in the trash?"

"I was gonna keep it."

"Ew! No!"

The class watched us bicker back and forth until Kirishima stepped in.

"So, why did she want a knife..?"

"She wants to cut her fucking finger off to show me that she can grow it back, to convince me to let her cut her fucking foot off!"

The class gaped and Kaminari gagged.

"Exactly! Now, watch her and keep sharp things away from her, I'll be back. Shitty hair, give me your knife." He snatched it out of his hand.

"I'm gonna get a nurse, and I'm taking this with me." He slammed the door behind him. I slumped in the bed but straightened again.

"So, what have you guys been up to?"

They blinked at the mood swing but snapped out of it and took turns talking until Katsuki came back with the nurse.

"Finally! Would you cut my foot off?"

The nurse blanched and turned towards Katsuki who was dragging a hand down his face.

"I thought you were joking!"

"I told you I wasn't!" He snapped back. 

She sighed. "Ok, visitor hours are over, you guys need to leave." She shooed the class out, but let Kat stay.
