Bakugo POV:

I check my phone for the hundredth time in the past two hours as I lay on my back in my bed, worry flooding my system.

"BAKUGO!!!" I hear Dunce-Face yell from the other side of my door as I try to ignore his yells. "BAKUGO COME OUT ITS SERIOUS" He yells again and I scowl but get out of bed and walk to the door, I throw it open and ready myself to yell at the blonde but pause when I see tears pricking at his eyes and the look of despair on his face. 

"What happened?" I growl and he shakes his head, "I dont know. We need to go downstairs now!" he exclaims and I follow him as he runs towards the elevator, clearly panicked. We get down to the common room and I see everyone crowded around Aizawa and Deku who were sat on the couch in the common room with an unsettled look on their faces. 

I look around the room but fail to see shitty-hair and (Y/N). "What happened?" I bark out as I storm towards Deku who had tear stains all over his face. "Bakugo. Take a seat, the rest of you too." Aizawa says and I pause when I hear his voice break. I listen to his request and take a seat across from them on the couches, everyone else following.

"As most of you know, today Ochaco, Tsu, Midoriya, Kirishima and (Y/N) went on a mission with a group of pro heroes. There were many casualties during the fight. Nighteye lost his life fighting and many others were injured, like Kirishima, fortunately he will be able to recover." Aizawa then pauses and my heart drops. 

"Unfortunately. (Y/N) endured a larger scale of injuries. Her four of her ribs got broken and pierced her chest and one of her ears was cut off at the beginning of the fight. Yet she continued to help. Afterwards, she encountered Overhaul with Midoriya and I and was impaled by a large cement spike that Overhaul created and it pierced a lung. She is now in critical condition and on life-support and the doctors are unsure if she will wake up." Aizawa announces, his voice breaking occasionally.

My jaw strains and I swallow the lump in my throat as tears prick the corners of my eyes. Everyone asks various questions about details concerning both Shitty-hair and (Y/N) but I stand and exit the common room, returning to my dorm. I grab my phone from the bedside table and go to my contacts.

I listen as the phone rings, awaiting an answer. "Hello?" I hear and I take a deep breath in before speaking, "Hey Denim-head.", "Bakugo, are you alright?" he says and I scoff, "Has the hospital not contacted you?" I ask and am met with silence. "...What?" Best Jeanist asks and I scowl, "Come to UA, I'll explain on the way to the hospital." I say before hanging up and changing into a hoodie and some athletic shorts.

I put my phone into my pocket and exit my room, walking down the hallway and into (Y/N)'s, letting myself in. I search her desk before finding the necklaces that she always wears, she said Fatgum and Best Jeanist had gotten them for her and she refuses to take them off unless she's doing hero work.

I shove the necklaces in my pocket before leaving her room and heading out to the front of the school. The second I step off of campus, a black sports car pulls up next to me and I get into the passenger seat. "What happened?" Denim-head asks and I explain the situation as he drives.

We arrive at the hospital and talk to the staff, "Sorry but only family is allowed to visit at this time." the nurse says and I scowl. I open my mouth to speak but am cut off by Best Jeanist, "He's family." he tells the nurse and I close my mouth, my eyes softening.

The nurse guides us to (Y/N)'s room and I almost scream when I walk in. Her face was battered and bruised, her nose broken and her mouth still blood stained. She had a cast around her torso which was also stained red and there were multiple wires attached to her body as well as an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose, her body pale, littered with purple bruises and deep gashes. Her right bunny ear also wrapped in a bandage.

I look over at Best Jeanist and see tears rolling down his cheeks as he stares at his daughter from the seat next to the hospital bed. I walk over to the other side of the bed and pull the necklaces out of my pocket, gently lifting the back of her neck to quickly clasp them both before adjusting them to sit the way she likes them.

"Her face..." Jeanist starts and I interrupt him, "She'll be okay. She wouldn't die this easy." I say before taking a seat and grabbing her hand. The door then opens and the nurse from before walks in, "Visiting hours are almost over but with special cases like this the hospital accepts visitors staying the night." she informs us and I nod, "I'm staying the night then." I say as I squeeze (Y/N)'s hand. The nurse then nods before turning to leave.

"I have important business so I won't be able to. Will you be alright on your own?" Jeanist asks and I nod before he smiles and exits the room. I look back to (Y/N) and tears fall down my face as I continue to hold her hand, refusing to let go. If I hadn't failed the provisional licensing exam then I could've protected her.
