Jellyfish Princess: Scyphozoa

Nice To Meet You, Deku-kun

~Suieimei's POV~

My eyes gently flutter open as my vision goes in and out of focus. After a few seconds my vision finally comes to. "Wh-what happened?" I question softly as I sit up from whatever I'm laying on with much effort. My entire body feels like it's burning and throbbing painfully at the same, with all this pain I feel stiff and it's very uncomfortable when I move but I can handle it. This is nothing compared to the pain Father would cause me when he beat me in anger. The thing about the healing part of my quirk is that it heals my physical wounds but I can still feel the pain from my wounds even if the physical wounds aren't there. Because of this I have a very high pain tolerance.  "Good evening dearie, I see you've woken up now. You can call me Recovery Girl" an elderly short lady says as she walks towards me. "Oh, hello. Um, may I ask where I am, why I'm here and what happened?" I ask the old lady as she sits beside me in a rolling chair.

"Of course, well you were in your Heroics class doing mock battles when you got knocked out due to a nasty explosion. You suffered severe burns all over your body but luckily I was able to heal you. But your quirk did most of the work though. This entire time you've been asleep in the nurse's office and I've been feeding you water through an IV. I took it out a few minutes ago though" Recovery Girl explains to me. 'Ah, now I remember' I think as memories of Bakugou's reckless explosion and me passing out soon after flash through my head. "Your classmate should be waking up soon as well. Would you like to wait for him?" Recovery Girl says as she pulls the curtains separating me from another person back to reveal a sleeping Midoriya!

"Um yes, I would like to. Thank you very much ma'am" I tell her almost mindlessly as I look at Midoriya's slightly battered form. "Well then I'll be at my desk if you need anything" the elder lady tells me and gets up from the rolling chair and slowly walks over to her desk with the help of her cane. I stiffly move from the bed I'm in and go to sit down in the chair Recovery Girl was in moments before, my body aching and throbbing with every move I make but I ignore it. After a few minutes of painful moving I finally make it to the chair and sit down. The moment I reach the chair I look over Midoriya's unconscious and injured body serval times and for some reason I feel my heart squeeze as guilt floods my body the more I look at his bandaged body.

'He must be in a lot of pain' I think as feelings of sadness, helplessness, slight anxiety, guilt and bits of anger crash against me like the waves on a beach. 'Who did this to him?' I think feeling highly upset right now as my eyes narrow at Midoriya's bandaged body. 'Wait, this is weird. I've only felt like this when Mother or Mizu-nii ever got hurt. I usually wouldn't care for someone else and always thought of it as it being their fault for not being careful enough. So, why am I so different with Midoriya-san?' I think confused as I look down at my hands, my emotions clashing with each other within me making me feel two different things right now. "Sh-Shinkai-san?" A weak, barley audible voice groans out slightly, snapping me out of my daze immediately.

Upon hearing the weak voice my clashing emotions quickly calm down until only concern, worriedness, relief and small flames of joy are left. I up from my hands to see Midoriya looking at me looking both relieved, concerned, happy and slightly confused. "Ah Midoriya-an, are you awake now?" I ask feeling very worried for my green haired classmate as his eyes flutter open, "ye-yeah.....I think I am" he says weakly, sounding very sleepily. "What are you doing here?" He asks me as he tries to sit up but I gently push him back down by the shoulders, silently telling him to rest more. "You should be resting, that was a nasty hit you took" Midoriya tells me sounding worried but exhausted at the same time, his eyes glazed over like he's half awake right now. I wonder if I can help wake him up completely.

"I woke up a bit ago and decided to stay behind" I simply tell him and place my naturally cold hand on his forehead, hoping to help wake him up more. Apparently my cold temperature and work because the tired look glazed over his green eyes slowly start to fade away. "You had me very worried, seeing you with so many bandages really frightened me" I find myself saying before I can think. I gasp lightly and immediately cover my mouth with both my hands, my eyes widening in shock. "Y-you....were worried?" He asks me carefully but I can hear curiosity peeking in his voice. I sigh and look down, 'I said it already so I might as well go all the way through it' I think and take a deep breath. "Yes, I was. Seeing you bandaged like you are made me feel worried, sad and very guilty" I tell him feeling very awkward and embarrassed right now. I avoid his gaze and look anywhere in the room except for him.
