It was so loud. My head was pulsing and my body felt so incredibly stiff. My eyes felt so heavy. I didn't want to open them, but I subconsciously knew I had to.

But what didn't expect is to open my eyes to see most of my classmates sat outside the room, separated by a glass window. In my state of mind, none of that had fully registered. I closed my eyes again and groaned

I couldn't fully move or control my body yet, nor did I fully understand the fact that I was in a hospital. All I could do was shift a bit and groan causing a few worried people to come bustling into the room.

When I opened my eyes and partly adjusted to the light, I never expected a pair of beautifully shaped heterochromia eyes to be staring back at me with... worry.

Ugh, my head hurt.

"Heterochromia?"

I subconsciously reached up to touch whatever was above me and came into contact with some hair, I think it was.

As soon as my hand came into contact with that silky goodness, I shot up and accidentally... head butted him in shock.

I clutched my forehead and shrieked with a newfound pain. But the sudden impact made me realise where I was, what I had just done and who I had just head butted.

Oh, no. I got so dizzy. I guess that's what happens when you get up so suddenly.

I turned to apologise, but he beat me to it and grabbed both shoulders. It felt very rough yet had a sense of gentleness to it. "Sakata-san are you okay? I'm sorry for startling you, but are you in any pain?"

Seeing him so worried and concerned was so new to me that I couldn't answer for a second and just gave him this really weird goofy smile. I felt like I was on clouds. Damn, so this is what being high on drugs feels like.

He immediately let go of my shoulders and stepped back with a look of slight shock and embarrassment. He looked to the side and awkwardly scratched his chin. Hehe, it was cute.

"Man~! You should drop the 'san' it's so awkward... Everyone just CALL ME RYUU!"

"Oi, you animal, who gave you permission to get beaten by anyone other than me?!"

I looked up and the light blinded me slightly so I had no choice but to get closer to whatever it is, despite the pain. I grabbed either side of his face (I realised) and pulled him in closer then frowned. "Bakagou? Nah man, I beat that sicko up! You proud?"

Still not fully aware of what I was doing, I reached up and patted his head while he was rooted to his spot in shock, "Oh my god, I got it! You're like a really fluffy hedgehog! Or a really angry cat!! Cats are cute so you're welcome. Todoroki is the best cat though, of course. Wow, what conditioner do you use?"

I let go of his face and looked around in a daze. There were more people. They were outside and we're all pressed up against the glass. Someone came into the room and gently placed a hand on my forehead, "Ahh, there's a slight fever coming on. It also seems... that the drugs haven't worn off yet. I'll go get your guardian."

"Pikapika! Is that you? AYYY, there's ma main hoe!"

He sat next to me on the bed and patted my head. "You scared me, ya know? But hey... thanks for giving us an excuse to get out of school."

I threw up a bunch of gang signs. "Don't sweat it, homie. Come 'er and give us a hug."

I threw my arms around him in a hug and he happily hugged back.
