Protecting Sunshine

Chapter six

Back with chapter six! 

Izuku woke up feeling worse than he did when he fell asleep. His throat was scratchy. His mouth was dry. His head felt like he was run over by a freight train. His stomach was churning. And it felt like there was an elephant on his chest.

Groaning he sat up. He looked to his clock and groaned once more. He had slept through his alarm. He got up. His headache got worse before subsiding enough to walk. He noticed a note on his door. It was written in neat handwriting.

Midoriya,

You are sick and have been excused from all you're classes today. If you need anything don't hesitate to text anyone.

Class President,

Iida

Izuku sighed. What was he going to do with his day off. He went down to the kitchen and grabbed the cold medicine he took the other day. His headache was making his vision go fuzzy. He poured some pills into his hand, not caring how many and dry swallowed them. As he was making his way back to his room he began to feel even more light headed and nauseous.

He made it to the bathroom before throwing up. After emptying the contents of his stomach-which was basically nothing but the pills- nothing but dry heaving. When his stomach finally settled he didn't have the strength to even move. His eyelids began to grow heavy. His thoughts pounding against his head harshly.

'Now they are going to find you here passed out in the bathroom. Oh man, they are going to be upset with you,' The voice in his head said.

The dull ache in his head came back full force. With a sharp gasp, Izuku's stomach churned again.

'Why do I feel so terrible?' Izuku thought.

'Because you deserve it! You deserve to feel the pain!' The voice in his head screamed. Izuku dug in his pocket for his trusty knife. He flipped it open and pressed the cool metal against his skin.

One for worrying everyone. Two for constantly breaking. Three for being stupid. Four for being worthless.

Izuku cried, not because it hurt..but because he broke his promise to Kirishima. His symptoms had gone away thanks to some of the medicine that was still in his system. He cleaned the mess up and bandaged his arm. Then he tredged his way back to his room. He threw a hoodie on. It was cold so, no one would think on it. He dove under the covers and finally fell back to sleep.

The next time Izuku woke up there was a knock at the door. "It's open," He called softly, hoping the person on the other side of the door could hear him. Sure enough the door opened revealing Todoroki.

"How are you feeling?" He questioned.

"Like shit," Izuku replied. Todoroki walked over to him, placing a cool hand on Izuku's head.

"You're still running a fever," The dual teen commented. Izuku sneezed again. Kirishima and Uraraka walked in.

"Brought some soup and medicine," Uraraka said. Izuku's stomach churned at the mention of food.

"I'm not hungry," He said.

"You should eat something," Uraraka said. They all sat and made light conversation about their day while Izuku forced food down his mouth. After Izuku ate, he took some of the medicine they gave him and went off to sleep.

Izuku woke up some time later feeling a little better. Looking at the time, he got up and walked down to the common room. He sat on the couch and turned the TV on.
