MYLO - Half Bakugou. Half Hagakure. ✔

Chapter 21 ° Two Days After

The festival has ended; 1-A sadly lost by one point. But it's okay. We all grew closer together as a student body. Quite regularly, students from both classes would find an excuse to go see Tim. He hasn't woken up since that fight. Ironically, Kasumi was the one who saw him the most. Poor girl was broken the moment she came to her senses. Butterfly nearly killed her at school yesterday though, which considering her calm nature, even confused Principle Nighteye. Luckily, push came to shove and Hisoka paralyzed her, only letting her go once they made up. So although things are a little on edge, everything is almost perfectly normal.
Come on, Tim.. wake up buddy..

"Mylo! Hey!" Hisoka shouted from down the hall. "Wait up!" The bell had just rung, meaning school for today is over. I guess I just got lost in my thoughts again. He caught up and gave me a quick kiss on the top of my head, before walking forth with me.
"Hey, dork. Sorry for just walking off. Got caught up in my thoughts again."
"Still stressed about Tim?" He asked with an honest and concerned tone.
"Yeah. I can't help it. He nearly died." I said sadly, nervously rubbing up my arm. He grabbed my hand and held it reasurringly, squeezing it every so often to keep me grounded.
"Don't sweat it, okay? Tim is alive because of you. Yeah sure he is still sleeping, but he is alive. Focus on that. Tim is alive because of you." He gave me a kind smile. But before it could get to cheesy, I slipped my hand out of his and punched his arm lightly.
"Yeah yeah yeah, shut up." I blushed, looking down with a soft little smile.

We walked out of the school, and after a few minutes, arrived at the medical dorm. We made sure to see Tim as much as we could. Sadly, if too many people were in the room, we couldn't see him, so, we were lucky to have today as our day. It's funny, it's only his third day in the medical room, yet it feels like a millenia since this routine has been set in play.
No biggy, we only stayed for a half hour at most before leaving; Recovery Girl's orders. I can tell you this now, no one, and I mean NO ONE, was prepared to go against her rules.

Inside the dorm, we got the clear from the front desk, so on we went to Tim's room. We walked as quietly as we could. Funny enough, there was quite a few students, and a few teachers, in this dorm. Everything from a simple cold, to the loss of limbs. Don't ask, it's not our business.
But in no time at all, we arrived at Tim's room, and after sliding the door open a little, we decided to stay back, only peeking in.
"What is Butterfly doing here?!" I whispered somewhat harshly.
"I don't know.." Hisoka replied quietly.

"Tim? It's me, Butter?-" She started. It seems that she only just got here herself. I sorta feel bad for listening in.
"- and after the event in the festival, I got worried. I know you can't hear me, but, I just needed to get it off my chest. I- I like you, Tim. Please don't ever leave. I need you around." She leant forward and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow, Acorns." She stood up, and began walking the door. Oh fuck.
Hisoka grabbed my arm and quickly took off to hide around the corner. Butterfly left the room, and walked to the front door. Phew.. That was close..

Hisoka and I slowly wandered into the room, and closed the door behind us. It was such a cozy little room.
"Hey bud, just us." Hisoka said rubbing Tim's arm.
"Hey, Timmy. It's Mylo and Hisoka. Just here to check on you." I said somewhat softly. "We miss you, dude."
"Don't worry, I'm quite alright." A little shocked, but greatly relieved, our eyes widened to see Tim moving. It started with just speaking, but followed with his eyes opening, and then his head turning. "Hey you two."
"Tim!" Hisoka shouted in an inside voice. "Hey buddy!"
"Glad to see you are okay!" I said scruffing his hair. "You recovered quickly now didn't you?!"
"Indeed he did." Recovery girl voiced from the door. She had such a kind smile on her fragile old face. "In quite an impressive manner too."
"What do you mean?" Hisoka asked. I hopped up and stood next to him, allowing Recovery Girl to have more room. Tim had a smug smile.
"Mylo, just like your random mutation, Tim developed a mutation of his own. Thankfully too. An acorn grew around his heart, and every other organ. Although they started breaking, the mutation was new, so it took some time for the body to accept it. Nonetheless, it preserved the remaining organ masses he had left. Yes, the smoke was dangerous beforehand, but this mutation has changed that. Internally I mean. It's a last defense if you will. So, that's why he's been asleep for so long; not only did it drain his energy being so new, but organ recovery takes time."
"Tada!" Tim said weakly. Still, he held a brave a Tim-like smile.
"I'm proud of you, pal. Great job!" Hisoka said, giving the squirrel boy an approved thumbs up.
"Now, you two, I suggest you get back to the dorms. I need to spend some time with Tim. Hopefully, if we can get through it quickly, you can see him in a few hours." Recorvery girl said, softly sweeping us out of the room. "Cya later kiddies!"

We waved them off, and left the medical dorm room, slowly walking to our dorms. "Sooo, Butterfly likes Tim huh?" Hisoka said teasingly.
"Shush you! We aren't supposed to know that!" I said blushing, thinking about those two weirdos dating. "You know what, I think that they'd be cute together. They suit one another."
"I agree whole heartedly. Let's see where this takes them." He said.
After a couple minutes, we arrived at our dorms, and saw none other than Butterfly sitting on the grass, a calm smile on her face, along with a blush.

Everything is gonna be okay.
