Illusion (My Hero Academia fanfiction)

27

~Alane P.O.V~

I woke up still thinking it was early morning, but it was the middle of the day. I slowly sat up and felt something heavy on my lap. Looking down, I see Mina resting her arms and head on me. Next to her, Momo is sleeping on Mina's bed.

"Oh. Your awake now." Said a small boy walking out from the bathroom. From the heavy bucket of water, he might have been changing my towel the whole time. "Yes, I am, um, have you been taking care of me?" I said softly so the girls wouldn't wake up.

He didn't say anything; he only stared at me. I felt a small smile creep up on my lips. I lowered my head slightly to him, "thank you." He didn't say anything again; he just left a small box of energy pills for me with some medicine. "The instructions are on the back. I'm leaving now."

He started to walk away. "W-wait!" I said, extending my arm to him. He stopped and looked at me; he reminds me of Bakugo in a way. He was always looking angry. I looked around and saw the plate of food next to Momo. I grabbed it and handed it to him. "Here," I said, "it's probably cold, plus this is the least I can give you for taking care of me the whole time."

When he grabbed the plate and looked at the food, I could see a faint twinkle in his eyes. Then his stomach grumbled slightly. Poor kid, he probably didn't eat at all or not enough cause of me. Once he regained his angry composure, he left. I read the instructions on the boxes to see which I should take first.

~Later~

"Yo, guys! check it out!" Kirishima yelled, "Alane's awake and walking!" Momo created a cane for me to use so I could walk better and not stumble. I waved at them with my other hand. "Hi, guys!" I said. I was then immediately bombarded by everyone from the front. I almost fell backward, but Mina caught me in time.

"Ok, guys!" Momo said, getting between the class and me, "Alane just woke up and needs some personal space. Let's not ambush her, ok?" Thank goodness, she's my friend. I was then asked a lot of questions about my health and how I was feeling. And I also got a lot of questions on my cooking and how did I manage to do it all in one night.

"Oh yeah!" Kirishima said while pointing to his right, "we decided we wanted to cook you a nice meal in return." I felt my cheeks warm up slightly. "Really?" I asked. He nodded like an excited puppy. "Hell yeah! After that gourmet meal you cooked up for us, this is the least we can do to thank you!" I gave a nervous laugh.

"That's sweet of you guys! But really, it's fine. You don't need to make me some food." He then puts his hands on my shoulders and gets close to my face while still smiling innocently. "Oh, come on! Stop being so polite! Besides, we're almost done with it!" My mind was going all over the place; a boy has never been this close to me before. I was feeling my face get redder and redder, and I was stuttering my sentences a lot.

"Oi!" Bakugo yells from the cooking station, "get the hell back here because I'm not making this damn meal by myself!" Kirishima lets go and gives a thumbs up to Bakugo. "Ok, dude!" He then looks at me again and points his thumb towards the "kitchen." "Want to go take a look at the food?" I was interested in what they were making; there were a lot of pots on the stove, so it must be a lot of food. I nodded and began to walk towards the kitchen.

I then see from the corner of my eye Kirishima offers his arm to me. "You can grab on. It's not manly if a man doesn't offer to help a lady." I was going to politely refuse until Mina took the cane from me. "She would love that!" She said with a teasing smirk at me. I narrowed my eyes at her and mouthed, 'why?' She only snickered and gave me a thumbs up.

Well, at this point, I have no choice. I would probably stumble inside the fire if I didn't. I shyly took Kirishima's arm. I felt my face get slightly red though, this was embarrassing. When we got to the station, Kirishima tried to walk past the first stove quickly. "What's wrong with those pots?" I say, pointing at them. They were completely burned.
