Bit #3: A Sick Day for Four

Izuku walks out of his dorm room with four thermometers, all with pretty high temperatures. He sighs as he makes his way to the kitchen in the dorm living room. While on his way, he sees Sun and Kirishima watching TV. "Oh, morning Midoriya! Good to see ya!" Sun said, waving at the green-haired teen, he smiled at the duo and waved back. "Morning guys, I just came to get some water, and a few other things," Izuku says, grabbing a few bottles using blackwhip. "Well, you sure you'll be able to finish that many bottles?" Kirishima asks, wondering why he grabbed 7 bottles. "Well, they aren't for me. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang got sick overnight, so I'm watching over them," said Izuku, who began to make his way back upstairs.

"Ouch, well, let them know that I hope they get better soon!" Said Sun, who flashed a thumbs up at Izuku, Kirishima following suit. "Same here! And it's good on you for taking care of them, it makes you quite manly!" said Kirishima as he flashed a toothy smile. Izuku smiles sheepishly. "Thanks, Kirishima, and I'll let them know!" Izuku says before making his way back to the dorm room. 

He arrives after a bit of walking and opens the door, and describes the girl's current mood as, a hot mess, specifically in the health area. Each girl was on their bed, with a small towel on their head and some light clothing, along with a small fan set to their lowest setting next to each of them, to help them cool off.

Ruby was the first to wake up, despite her fever, and lifted her head towards the door. "I-Izuku...?" She says, trying to tell who was at the door. He walks up and climbs the ladder to her bed, and uses blackwhip to make sure he doesn't fall. "Morning Ruby, how are you feeling right now?" He asks concern heard all in his voice. Ruby smiles, even during sickness she still manages to smile. 

"Well, it's still there, but not as bad as last night, I think little better now that you're here." She says, her voice slightly low as both sport a blush on their faces. Izuku smiles at her. "Well, I brought a few things to help with the fevers," said Izuku, as one of the ropes of Blackwhip grabbed one of the bottles on the table and handed it to him, he cracked it open. Ruby then opens her mouth slightly, giving Izuku a sign to give her some water. After she was done, he was surprised to see her drink nearly half of the bottle. She sighed in relief as she had a small smile on her face.

"Thanks, Izuku, I needed that." Said Ruby, who had a look of slight relief and was hydrated. Izuku smiled as he took a Sharpie from the desk and wrote the letter 'R' on it, meaning that it was for Ruby. "No problem Ruby, feel better soon." Before climbing down, he leaned in and planted a kiss on her head, causing her to blush as her half-lidded eyes turned to Izuku, who had a smile on his face. She smiled before drifting back into dreamland, this time a little less discomfort.

He climbs down to the bottom of the first Bunk bed, where he sees Weiss with a surprisingly peaceful look, but still sees the red on her face. He tapped her head twice, causing her eyes to stir open, but her awareness wasn't quite there yet. "H-How did a Pinetree get into our dorm...?" Said Weiss, unaware of who was in front of her. Izuku turned white as he was frozen. Suddenly he was trying everything in his power to hold back his laughter. After a bit of containing himself, he smiles as he calls her name, causing her to be a little more aware now. "Izuku...?" says Weiss, Izuku smiles.

"Morning my Ice Queen," said Izuku, having a small grin on his face, not being able to tell if Weiss was red due to the fever or blushing. "How are you feeling right now?" asked Izuku, putting his teasing manner aside. "Well, my head doesn't feel like it's on fire, but I think I might need some medicine..." Weiss says, with small coughs coming in afterward. Izuku grabs the bottle of medicine and a spoon on the table. He pours a bit onto the spoon and goes to Weiss. "Alright Weiss, here you go," Izuku says, holding out the spoon for Weiss, but there's one problem.

"Mmmmmm..." Weiss slowly turns her head away from the spoon.

Despite saying she needs medicine, she hates the taste of it. Izuku had always found it ironic, but when he has to give her medicine, for example, today. It can be quite a handful. "Weiss, come on, we both know you need to so you can feel better," said Izuku as he sweatdrops at Weiss' usual antics. She turns to face him. "I know, but it just tastes weird..." Weiss says, showing a small pout on her face before turning again. Izuku sighs before smiling. "Alright look, if you taste the medicine, I'll buy you your favorite frozen yogurt again, and if you want, I can get a bottle of water to help you get the taste out." He says, Weiss slowly turns toward him with a neutral look. "Promise...?" She says. "Promise." He says. Weiss then reluctantly agrees as she opens her mouth, Izuku grabs a bottle of water just in case, she lifts her head and drinks the medicine.
