This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

Denki's face goes bright red upon the realisation where he was laying on and he immediately gets up from Midoriya's lap with waving hands and saying, "I-I am so-".

But stops immediately.

Denki's golden eyes go wide in horror. He can feel the icy feeling of the healing quirk weakening.

Why why is it going weak all of a sudden when I haven't used it!?.

At the same time, he coughs up black blood in his hands and doubles over in pain.

"KAMINARI!" screams both Midoriya and Ashido from both shock and fear.

Denki flinches at their scream.

Remember they are just 15 year old kids. Denki remember they are not yet tainted by the dark side of the world yet.

Midoriya holds Denki by the shoulder and says while trying to keep in voice from shaking, "Hey just take it slowly. Why don't you lay don't for a bit you woke up rather abruptly".

Midoriya tries to gently push Denki back  onto the seat. But Denki holds onto Midoriya's shoulder with his hands which gets his blood onto his hero costume and huffs slightly as he feels out of the air and it is hurting him to breathe properly.

"Wait I can't li-" says a pale weak Denki and starts coughing up again but this time he does not cough up black blood.

Meanwhile,

Aizawa Shouta was getting impatient waiting for his three other students and looked towards the Pro Hero- thirteen who explained to the rest of his class that they were  going to be rescuing drowned civilians in the water zone area and his class listened attentively with nodding heads.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Shouta catches a worried Ashido Mina running towards him at full speed and stops in front of him and starts panting heavily and says with no break in her words, "Kaminaricoughedupblackblood!".

Ashido Mina says in one breath with tears pricking in the corner of her eyes.

Shouta's hearts start hammering at the mention of coughing up blood but one thing does not sit right with him he coughed up black blood. what in the world?

Shouta looks at Pro Hero - Thirteen who had heard all of the conversation between him and his student and asks him to take care of his class while he goes to check up on his problem children.

...

Shouta steps into the bus and sighs at the two boys in front of him and smiles slightly at their cute bickering who were unaware of his presence.

"LET ME GO Damnit!" screams Denki.

"Calm down Kaminari-kun" says Midoriya calmly with a slight mild irritated look.

"OH YEAH I am Freaking Calm" retorts back Denki and kicks Midoriya in the ribcage.

Midoriya sighs exasperatedly.

Aizawa sighs as he takes the scene in front of him.

Despite coughing up black blood which was evident from Kaminari's stained lips. The boy looked fine to Shouta's eyes maybe a bit pale and weak.

Midoriya had his hands around Denki's waist to keep the boy upright or prevent what the other boy was planning to do while Denki on the other hand had his one hand curled on Midoriya's hair and his other hand on the Greenette boy's chest to put some distance between them.

Denki's shoulders heaved slightly as he was out of breath.

No matter what Denki did. Midoriya stood unaffected.

Midoriya just smiled at Denki's futile effort.

Midoriya's right side of his face was covered with nail scratches which Shouta  assumes must be from his problem child 2 who must have fought against Midoriya on whatever topic they were fighting on.

He had to break up the fight between his two problem children.

"Alright break it up you too" Aizawa claps his hands to bring the attention of the two students towards him.

"Sensei" says Denki in a soft voice and goes quiet as Midoriya removes his hands from Denki's waist.

The three of them stared at each other in complete silence except the whirring sound of the Robo bus driver's machinery was humming in the background.

Denki was the first one to say, "Sensei, is it ok if I don't use my quirk in today's rescue mission?".

"It depends on what type of scenario Thirteen will ask you to perform but I want to know why you don't want to use your quirk." asks Aizawa sensei dryly.

"Oh that's cause I can feel the healing quirk weakening" says a rather calm Denki who was rubbing the black dried blood with the napkin from his lips.

On the other hand Midoriya and Aizawa sensei stared at Denki with unreadable faces and screamed, "WHAT!?".
