<So...we're back in time?> Midoriya asked, still pretty confused by the situation.
<YES shitty Deku, it's the third time you ask!> Bakugo yelled back.
<S-SORRY I-I WANTED TO MAKE SURE-> he replied.
<The man who was captured also said that his quirk reverses people to their weakest ages so... apparently yours is your last year in middle school.> Recovery Girl quickly added, trying to avoid other fights between the two students.
Midoriya looked down, silent, while Bakugo rolled his eyes.
<Must've been wrong... I'm perfectly fine.> he then said, without yelling this time.
You're lying, aren't you? Bakugo thought to himself, but quickly shook his head and sent away that thought.

Recovery Girl sighed and then said:
<Midoriya, you can go back to the dorms. Aizawa will be outside to accompany you back. I just have to say one thing to Bakugo.>
Midoriya nodded and quietly exited the infirmary. He was curious as to why she wanted to speak to Bakugo alone, but he didn't think too much of it.

It's surely not something about me. Maybe it's something really private, what do I know? I've been out longer than him, so I don't know what could've happened while Bakugo was awake and I wasn't.

<What is it, old lady?> the blond growled, looking suspiciously at her.
<I have to tell you... All of this happened because you tried to save him.> she answered calmly.

Bakugo widened his eyes in shock.
<WHY WOULD I WANT TO SAVE THAT SHITTY NERD?!> he shouted, angry and confused.
<Well... You only can know what was going on inside your mind in that moment... And until we figure out how to undo this quirk, there is... Really nothing you can do, if not maybe spend some time together and wait until the villain talks and tells us how to reverse the doings of his quirk...> Recovery Girl said to the student.
<I hate that shitty nerd. I don't want anything to do with him NOR to spend time with him.> Bakugo hissed back, slowly getting out of the bed and starting to walk away.
<But aren't you wondering why you wanted to save him?> the woman asked, not really as a question to answer but more a question to make him think, to make him reflect about his own actions.

Katsuki stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard that question.
<Of course I'm asking myself that...> the boy admitted.

He did it involuntarily, so he immediately covered it up by adding:
<I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AS TO WHY I WOULD CARE ABOUT HIM IN ANY SITUATION!> he shouted, leaving quickly the room, before the woman behind him could say anything else.

Recovery Girl shook her head lightly, but then she smiled softly.
He's clearly lying to himself... I hope that maybe this actually helps the 2 overcome their feelings of hatred for each other... I mean, they became normal classmates after a while, but... I always felt that their negative feelings for each other were never truly gone... Something left unsolved in the past? Could this be the age were everything got even worse in their lives? Maybe this could be the perfect opportunity to finally fix their... Broken and... twisted relationship.

Meanwhile, when Izuku saw Bakugo come out of the infirmary, visibly mad, he flinched and stepped back but bumped onto something. Actually, onto someone.
<Don't worry Midoriya, he won't lay a finger on you. Not under my watch.> Aizawa said, looking into the crimson red eyes of the blond, while putting a hand on the green haired boy.

<Tch... As if I had time to waste with him.> Bakugo said, looking away, annoyed.
<Good. Then let's go back to the dorms so I can show you to your rooms.> Aizawa said, starting to walk with Izuku by his side.
<WE HAVE ROOMS HERE?!> Midoriya yelled, his eyes sparkling.
<Yes, you do...>  Aizawa answered with his usual monotone voice.
