You clenched your fists, feeling your strings start to fray as All Might struggled against them. You gritted your teeth, whirling around to face Bakugo.

"Katsuki!" You shouted, making him flinch. "Take Midoriya, and do your plan! I can't move or else his strings'll snap!"

The ash-blonde narrowed his eyes at you, nodding. "That's the plan, Gazmat."

Your eyes widened.

'He...he called me by my hero name! I'm so happy!'

Suddenly, Midoriya got up in Full Cowl, and you and Bakugo were swooped away. You felt All Might's strings snap, and you grew dizzy again. But it didn't matter.

Because you had passed the exit gate.

"Thank you very much, Recovery Girl..." You and Midoriya said, voices strained. You, Bakugo, and Midoriya were all currently on beds inside Recovery Girl's tent, being treated.

"You really don't know what restraint is, do you?!" Recovery Girl scolded All Might, eyebrows furrowing. "If you'd hit them a little harder, then it would've become a disaster! And especially Midoriya's lumbar region, it was this close to breaking! And poor L/N, too, her oxygen levels were extremely low!"

You sighed, turning your head to Bakugo and staring at him softly as Recover Girl continued to speak. "As for Bakugo, he won't come to for a while. For the time being, L/N and Midoriya, I want you three to sleep in the beds within school grounds. I'm having Todoroki and Yaoyorozu rest there too."

"You don't gotta tell me twice." You laughed weakly, struggling to sit up. All Might helped you out of bed, supporting you.

"Um, Recovery Girl, is it- is it not okay if I stay and watch?" Midoriya asked, coughing slightly.

"But you must still be woozy! You need to rest..."

"Ah, no! I'm- I'm alright, really! It's just...there's not too many chances to watch and analyze fights involving pros and the others, so..."

"Hmm...alright. But don't overexert yourself, you hear? All Might, can you escort L/N back to the school?"

All Might nodded as Midoriya thanked her, and he acted as a crutch for you. You turned your head, glancing at Midoriya and Recovery Girl.

"Thanks again, Recovery Girl. See ya later, Midoriya. Thanks for helping us pass."

"A-Ah, of course, L/N!" Midoriya exclaimed, sitting up and wincing slightly. You smiled softly and turned your head to Bakugo's unconscious body.

"Bye, Katsuki. I hope you get better soon so we can play with snails together."

"Oh my god, you guys...I'm totes looking forward to...to all your stories...oh god..." Mina wailed, squeezing her eyes shut. "Y/N...eat some curry for me..."

"D-don't despair! Who knows, there could be an unexpected change of events!" Midoriya exclaimed, eyes wide.

"Don't jinx it!"

You sighed as Kaminari yelled at Midoriya, going back to your seat. Kirishima tried his best to smile at you, a pained expression on his face. He, too, had failed the exam.

"H-Hey, bro, how're your lungs doing?"

"Aah, they're fine. Hurt a little, still, but thanks to Recovery Girl I feel mostly fine! Thanks for asking." You turned to Bakugo, smiling gently. "What about you? You doing alright?"

Bakugo grumbled, rubbing his temples. "I was, until I heard your damn voice."

You laughed, eyes sparkling. "Good old Katsuki."

"When the bell rings, then you take your seats." Aizawa said, bursting through the door. "Morning. Now about your end of term exams...I hate to say that some of you have failed. And, as such...everybody's going to the forest lodge!"

"WHAT A TWIST!"

You grinned at Kirishima's expression of relief as you leaned your head on your hand, going into deep thought for the first time in a while.

'Man, I wanna be a butterfly...they get to fly all day, without a care in the world. They look pretty, too. If I were to be a butterfly, I'd wanna be F/C. F/C is pretty. If Bakugo was a butterfly, he'd probably be a swallowtail or something. Midoriya would be a monarch...what would Todoroki and Kirishima be? Hmm...'

"Oi, dumbass!"

"Hm?" You said, snapping out of it and smiling innocently at Bakugo. He shoved a brochure in your hands, rolling his eyes.

"For the trip."

You grinned, closing your eyes. "Thanks, Katsuki!"

He scoffed, blushing and averting his eyes. "Whatever."

"Let's like, go shopping together! C'mon, everyone in Class A!" Hagakure said, making you turn your head in her direction and give her a thumbs up.

"Yo, I'm down."

"That's a great idea! Actually, won't this be the first time?"

"Yo, Bakugo, you come too!" Kirishima exclaimed, turning to him.

"Like I could stand going shopping." Bakugo scoffed, kicking his feet up on the desk.

"C'mon, Katsuki, pleaseeeee? Pretty please with snails on top?" You begged, giving him puppy dog eyes.

"No." He said bluntly, making you grumble.

"Killjoy."

"Hah?!"

"You should come too, Todoroki!"

"I visit the hospital on free days."

"Would it kill you dudes to join in the fun for once?!"
