-(Y/N) POV-


The two days dragged by, students rarely left their dorms. I stared at the ceiling, it was about midnight. I sat up, thinking about what happened back at USJ. What was that light? Did it come from me? I couldn't see clearly. How? My quirk is projecting images and words into other peoples' minds and being able to read their thoughts... so how could I have done that? It was my mother's quirk, how could mine be any different?

I sat up, frustrated. I looked over at the two girls. Neither of them were asleep, their eyes were cast down and none of them said a word. I sighed and got up, getting out my uniform and changing.

"(Y/N)? What are you doing?" asked Uraraka as Momo turned to face me, still lying in her bed.

"I'm going to see Izuku and Bakugou" I said in a whisper. They didn't reply just continued watching me get ready in the dark. I put on my shirt, did the buttons up, and slid on my skirt. I quickly put my hair up in a messy bun and walked out. The air was suffocating, like I was brewing in self-criticism. I shook my head and furrowed my brow, walking to the other end of the school.

My steps echoed throughout the empty corridors and all I could think about was that light.

When I reached the nurse's office I paused before sliding the door open and seeing three beds, each separated by a curtain. Recovery girl wasn't there, she was probably sleeping In the teachers quarters. I walked up to my dad who was fast asleep.

"(Y/N)?" I heard Izuku's voice "(Y/N)! are you crying?" he whisper shouted

"Huh?" I asked "I'm not" I said stubbornly.

"Izuku do you remember when you were about to get killed by those Villains and that light appeared?"

"Yeah" he said quietly. There was a long pause before he continued

"That came from you"

"Did it really?" I asked "How? That's not my quirk..." I trailed off as I walked from my Dad's bed and pulled the curtain back to where Izuku's voice was coming from. He was sitting up in his bed and staring down at the sheets.

"Izuku... what happened?"

"I don't know. We have to ask your dad I guess" he mumbled

I nodded my head in agreement.

"Izuku are you okay?" I asked

"y-yeah nothing unusual haha" he smiled at me, offering a nervous laugh. I smiled back, sadness tinged into it.

"I'm gonna see Katsuki" I said as I walked round to the last bed, closing the curtain.

I opened the curtain and walked over to Bakugou.

"Bakugou... are you awake?" I whispered. He turned around to face me, still lying down with one hand under the pillow. He nodded and studied my face as I stared at him. I walked closer to him, and he sat up in the process. The moonlight hit his face solemnly, highlighting his chiselled features.

"can I see?" I asked

He nodded his head and shoved the duvet to the side, sitting up cross-legged on the mattress, turning to face me. I stared down at his bandaged chest. I inched closer and trailed my fingers down the bandages. He grabbed onto my hand roughly as I neared the centre of his chest.

"This could've been you" he whispered, almost inaudibly.

"Bakugou...I want to be a hero, this kind of stuff is bound to happen" I breathed, letting my other hand rest on his neck.

The silence filled the air heavily, his gaze cast aside before looking up in my eyes as I studied him.

"then I will always be there so it won't"

"Bakugou I..." I was cut off with his finger against my lips.

"You should be asleep it's like midnight" he said

I couldn't do anything but nod in return. His thoughts reached out to me:

'I'll be the strongest hero for you'

I let my hands trail down and fall against my sides before standing up. I walked over to the curtain, and turned back. He smiled. HE SMILED. 'jesus this guy... is he bipolar?! He's really getting to me'

I gave a warming smile and quietly left, closing the curtain behind me.

I walked past the separated beds and stopped by my dad's.

'he could've died.' I looked down, face crumbling into one of misery 'I barely did anything'

I watched as my teardrops fall against the ground, the fragility shattered once it hit the floor. I let out small sobs, walking once again to my dad, wiping my face with my arm. I slowly got into the bed next to him and cuddled him. Nothing but bandages filled my sight, and I cried myself to sleep.

'dad. I'm sorry '
