"So Midnight is teaching and the whole school is under tight security?" Aizawa echoes I've told him.

I nod as the nurse hands me a cup of hot tea in a styrofoam cup. I take a sip and cringe at the unusual, bitter taste. "What tea is this?" I mumble as I place it on the coffee table.

"It's parsley." The nurse replies before walking away.

"Anyway," I start. "We also got a transfer student."

"I was told on the morning of the Sports Festival. Kaniko Jotsumi, right?" Aizawa asks.
I nod my head and Katsuki let's out a low grumble. "What's she like? Is she adjusting to the class well?" He adds.

I nervously reply, "You'll see when you come back."

Aizawa frowns. "That response is concerning." He mutters.

"SHOUTA AIZAWA!" A loud voice that was unmistakably Present Mic's booms before the very man bursts through the door.

"This is still a hospital, keep your voice down." Aizawa reminds Present Mic.

"Sorry." He replies. "Oh, good evening to you two."

Katsuki just grunts and I nod in response.

"Are you alright? When are you being released?" Present Mic asks.

"In about three days." Aizawa states. "I'd like to be released sooner, though. I don't want Nemuri teaching my class."

Present Mic grins. "Someone's gotten a little soft lately."

Aizawa rolls his eyes before turning to me. "Who's been looking after you, Rei?" 

"Uhhhh..." 'Well, technically nobody should be, but Ryuus-' 

"I am." Katsuki interrupts my thought. I look at him incredulously.

Aizawa frowns. "I don't approve, but it can't be helped, I guess." He says with a sigh. "Anyways, it's getting late. You two should get home."

I nod, rising from my chair, and so does Katsuki. "Goodnight. I'll come back tomorrow after school." I say.

Aizawa nods before the two of us leave the room, shutting the door behind us.

"Why did you say that?" I say.

He shrugs. "Maybe because I want it to be true."

My heart beats quicker at his words. "What do you mean?" I nervously ask. 'He isn't thinking what I'm thinking, right?' 

"Magnet-face, you're fucking stupid. What are you? A shonen protagonist?" He replies, but differently compared to his usual tone.

"Hey! You're the one who couldn't recognize an old friend!" I retort.

"You didn't either! Don't fucking lie!" He snaps.

I huff. 'True....'

"I promise I'll be fine!" I reassure Katsuki.

"Fine, but if anything happens, give me a call." He says.

I nod. "I will. Goodnight, Katsuki."

"'Night, magnet-face." He says before walk down from my porch and I close the front door.

I walk down the hall and see Ryuusuke sitting relaxedly on the couch. "Oh, thank God!" He exclaims with a heavy tone of relief.

I shoot him a questioning look. "I should be the one that's relieved! You just up and left the house and you were caught by Katsuki!" I scold.

He chuckles. "I think the last thing you have to worry about is me. I've never been caught by the police, and I'm sure now isn't the time for me to be reckless."

I cross my arms. "You have a point, but why were you worried about me?"

"When I came back inside, I saw you were gone. I thought your boyfriend took you on a date or something, so I went to get some water, and the glass cracked." He says. "I thought something bad happened to you."

"Pfft! You're superstitious?" I cock an eyebrow.

"Hey, the universe could be hinting at something." Ryuusuke states.

I shrug. "Well, the universe was wrong. I'm fine." I say as I pick up the cracked glass and throw it into the bin.

"You never know." He mutters.

I then take a seat next to him. "Where did you go, by the way?" I ask.

"I paid a little trip to the hospital and sucked my quirk out of a certain person's lungs." He responds.

I stare at him. "Wait, are you telling me that you could've awoken Aizawa at any time?!" I furiously exclaim.

"Hush, princess." He says. "I was going to remove him to make my job easier, but...." He trails off.

"But....?" I query.

He smiles softly at me and I could swear his eyes were tearing up. "Nothing. I think it's better if you have more protection." 

"And what's this job you're speaking of?" I cautiouslly say.

"It'll just stress you out if I tell you." Ryuusuke replies.

I glare at him. "You've avoided the question once, you're not avoiding it again."

He sighs. "Fine. I have to tell Eraser-Head when he gets back, too." He sits so that his whole body is now facing me. "The League is coming for you."
