Eijirou reached the dorms, pausing in front of the door. He stared at it for a beat before finally pushing it open.

Denki, anxiously perched on the couch, leaped up as soon as he heard the door creak, "Eiji!" He darted over.

Eijirou greeted him with a smile, "Hey, sorry I worried you."

Ignoring the apology, Denki grabbed his wrist and yanked up his sleeve, revealing the bandages, "How bad was it?"

"Nothing Recovery Girl couldn't handle. Just lost a lot of blood."

"What?! Sit down." Denki pulled Eijirou to the couch and plopped down beside him. "Does it still hurt? Are you dizzy?"

Eijirou chuckled, "Calm down. I'm fine—just tired."

Denki's frown deepened, "You're not fine." His gaze was fixed on the bandages.

"Denki, why are you freaking out so much? I've faced worse and you didn't worry this much."

"This is different."

"Yeah, it was an accident, not an attack."

Denki's eyes locked onto Eijirou's, "Was it really?"

Neither noticed as everyone else quietly moved away from the couches, leaving them alone.

"Uh, yeah. What else would it be?"

Denki didn't respond, just looked down, "Let's get some food and then head upstairs. Okay?"

"Okay." Eijirou sensed Denki's distress, though he didn't fully grasp why. It was just a training accident—what was the big deal? He'd never seen Denki this worked up over one of his injuries before.

"Stay here. You need to sit," Denki instructed, heading to the kitchen for food.

Eijirou sighed as Denki walked off.

Katsuki approached the couch, "He had a massive freak out when I told him. Totally lost it. He's just extra sensitive today, I guess."

"Yeah, I guess," Eijirou agreed, though he suspected there was more to it, "What kind of freakout?"

"Well," Katsuki sat beside him, "When I first mentioned the injury, I said there was blood everywhere. He panicked. It took some explaining to calm him down, but he started to get worked up again when I told him the details."

"What details?"

"Snapping at Aizawa, blowing up with Deku, being a general asshole. Icy Hot said you were acting like me, which I guess is true, but it just got Sparky more worked up."

"No wonder he's so upset. It's not just my arms."

"Yeah, no shit," Katsuki rolled his eyes, "He's been waiting for you ever since. He's been a real jerk to anyone who tried talking to him. Racoon Eyes got really upset about it and almost cried."

Eijirou glanced at Denki talking with Sato, "He seems better now."

"Only because you're back," Katsuki paused, "Look, whatever's going on with you two... if you need help or whatever..."

Eijirou looked at him, "Are you offering to help us?"

Katsuki crossed his arms, looking away, "It's not like I care. Just a heroic thing to do. So, if you need me to fix whatever mess you made with Kami, I will."

Eijirou smiled sadly, "Thanks, but this isn't something you can fix."

Denki returned with two plates, "Let's eat in my room." He wanted privacy.
