With a small sigh, I answer Deku's cellphone.

"Who is it and what do you want?"

"That doesn't sound like Midoriya." A female voice says, it sounds familiar.

"Bakugo? Is that you?" A different voice asks, "It's Pearl."

Pearl...

OH! The raven haired bitch from the school.

"Oh, raven bitch." I say, "Yes it's me. Why are you calling Deku's phone?" 

"Why do you have Midoriya's phone?" The other voice retorts, I can only guess it's Ellie.

"Ellie, calm down. Is Midoriya okay?" Pearl asks.

"Yeah yeah, just passed out." I mutter. I can hear them talking, and then it stops. I couldn't make out what they were saying.

"I have a feeling that's not all. Did something happen with the Vettels?" Pearl asks. I forgot she knew about that, with her stupid quirk.

"Right, forgot you knew about that now... to answer your question, yeah... Deku got dragged away by his friends for some reason, and when I caught up with them one of the scars on his back had opened... I got Iida to get bandages an alcohol, and Todoroki to get Mr Aizawa, but that damn half'n half came back with the Vettels too... Deku and I freaked out, everyone got confused, and afterward, Deku passed out, and god... I'm just..."

I can't say it.

I can't say that I'm terrified.

But I am. I'm terrified of losing him.

"You're scared of losing him."

"How did you know that?" I demand.

"That's your worst fear, your worst fear is losing your best friend, the person who means the most to you."

"...yeah... okay, I'm scared for him..." I admit, becoming really quiet.

"I'll get Kara and come over, she can heal the scars on his back, and maybe wake him up."

I don't even protest.

"We'll see you soon." She hangs up.

I put Deku's phone down and sit by his bed.

I don't even realize I'm crying, until someone knocks on the door, after what seems like forever.

"Yo, Bakubro, you in there?"

"Fuck off Shitty Hair." I retort, forcing myself to sound normal.

"Come on dude, you got visitors, I'm opening the door." I sigh, and pull my hood up (I'm wearing a hoodie) so they don't see my face.

The door opens, and Kirishima is there with Pearl and Kara behind him.

"What do you want?" I ask harshly.

They come in and close the door behind them. I sigh, and move away from the bed.

Kara walks over to Deku, and pulls the covers off him. She takes his shirt off, and stares at the bandages.

"Well, you did a good job bandaging him up. You say the scars opened themselves because of a sudden and unexpected burst of speed?" She asks me. I nod.

"You okay Bakugo?" Kirishima asks.

"I'm fine." I mutter, not looking at anyone.

"Look, I know your worried about Midoriya, we are all, but-"

"But what?!" I snap, "You don't even know what the hell is going on! It's his own damn fault he's like this, because he refuses to believe that the Vettels are bad fucking people!" I don't even think before speaking, it just comes out. Everyone is surprised at my sudden outburst.

"Well then why don't you tell us?!" He exclaims, upset now.

"BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING SAY IN WHETHER YOU SHOULD KNOW OR NOT!" I yell, standing up.

Everyone stares at me.

...

I sit back down, embarrassed and angry.

"I'm gonna go talk to the others..." Kirishima mumbles, before leaving.

"Pearl, help me undo these bandages." Kara breaks the silence. Pearl nods and goes over.

"Those are big... we have to wake him up first, otherwise he'll wake up in the middle of the healing, and that could throw me off." Kara says.

"How do we do that?" I ask.

"Simple." She presses down on one of the scars, and Deku wakes up, gasping.

"Ow..." he mutters.

"Sorry Midoriya, but uh, the pain is about to get a lot worse. Hold still." Kara says. I slide closer to them.

Deku grits his teeth, his face comforting from confusion to pain. At the same time, Kara's hands start glowing faintly.

I grab his hand, and squeeze it gently. He looks at me, and closes his eyes.

Suddenly, he relaxes, and Kara sighs.

"Alright, I healed them. They left scars, but they shouldn't open any more." She says tiredly.

"I don't feel tired... weird... thank you though." Deku sits up, and smiles.

"Don't mention it... as for not being tired, my quirk runs off my own energy. I share my stamina with your body, so it heals faster. It runs off my own energy though." Kara explains, leaning against Pearl.

"Right, now that your awake though, expect a lot of questions..." I mutter.

"Yay..." he sighs.

"Pearl told me everything." Kara says.

"Ellie and Tara know now too, because of course, that brat of a sister can't control her curiosity..." Pearl starts grumbling, and Kara laughs. It's a foreign sound, laughter.

I realize I'm still holding his hand, and let go quickly, blushing. I look away.

"Are you okay Kacchan?" He asks.

"I'm fine, just... glad your okay..." I mumble the last part.

"Heh, you two are cute together. We're going to head back, see ya tomorrow!" Kara waves, as her and Pearl exit.

I blush at the statement. So does Deku.

And that's when I come to a realization.

I'm in love with Izuku Midoriya.
