THE day was over, and most of the students had gone back to their dormitories. Despite the fact that it was nearly 11 o'clock in the afternoon, they were having trouble falling asleep. Class 1A had unusually early classes, therefore they should be sleeping at this point.

Well, after what happened? Their thoughts were most likely consumed with concerns for the two. Class 1A sat in solitude in the living room. Sipping tea, scrolling through their phones, reading a book; they did their best to look distracted. 

Three persons were missing within the UA Heights Alliance. The accident compromised those three individuals.

"You're all waiting for Deku and four-eyes, aren't you?" Katsuki interrupted the stillness that hung in the air.

Momo sighed, "Who wouldn't be? I can't even fathom what just happened..."

"I bet Midoriya feels terrible if he sees Iida's state," Eijirou lowered his head, "Even if we all know it wasn't on purpose, he'll blame himself. He's Midoriya after all."

"I hope they're doing okay..." Tooru muttered.

The door sways open in the hushed. Distraught green eyes entered the sight of the students of Class 1A. His face was ruddy, and his eyes were puffy and swollen from tears. Alongside him was an overwrought Shoto.

"Where's Iida?" Minoru darted his small grape eyes.

Shoto could only mutter an answer at first given that he had nothing to say. Both appeared exhausted and nervous, but so did those around them.

"He's at the hospital..." He paused, "Iida needs to get surgery."

"Surgery?! How bad did Mi-" The diminutive grapehead almost indicated his name, as if to remind the green-haired lad of his mistake.

The room was once again filled with unsettling stillness, or perhaps an awkward silence? They could only hope that Tenya would be released from the hospital as soon as possible. Not only that, Class 1A is left hoping that Izuku isn't taking this on severely, but it appears that their wishes have gone unheeded.

"I need to get Izuku to his room; he needs to rest," Shoto mumbled as he led him up the lift. Before the elevator's entrance closed, the two stood with anxiety in their eyes. It was worry that pierced through their classmates' eyes.

"Tsk." Katsuki groaned before going up through the stairway. 

"When did Todoroki begin to call him 'Izuku'?" Lingered the thought of one student.

The rest of Class 1A was dispersed across the living room. Some began to return to their rooms, presumably to sleep. Others huddled on the sofa, waiting for word on Tenya, if there was any at all this late at night. And few just couldn't do anything but process the events.
