Hermmmmmmmmm, 20th actual chapter. Happily surprised I made it this far. What to do, what to do.... therapy? After therapy? A day in the life of Inko? Nah, maybe later. Last couple of chapters was meeting Eraserhead, All Might being an air head, and Izuku getting a detective on his tail...maybe I should do a Neko War update involving Tsukuachi soon. HmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMmmmmmm. *Watches cat jump* Maybe something involving parkour? Eraserhead does jump from roof top to roof top. The sooner we get this over with the sooner the others can be published, but don't make it to short. This chapter has to be important in moving the story along. *Puts imaginary shades on* Aight, I got this.

Izuku bit his finger nails nervously as he waited for Bakugo to exit the therapists office, his brain was racing. Did something happen? Is everything okay? Does kacchan feel comfortable? Is he okay? Questions whipped back and forth in his brain. The passing doctors could feel his worry and would often activate their quirks while passing, causing that section of the hallway to smell like heather, honeysuckle, hosta, and more. It was somehow the perfect temperature, and stress seemed to melt away. This did calm him down a bit, but the clock plastered at the end of the hallway seemed to be moving extra slow.

Bakugo walked out of the therapists office and into an array of comforting smells. He looked around and saw a person with curly green hair and a slim figure sitting on a bench a bit down the hall, jeans a bit wrinkled and t shirt tight on his body, making him seem skinnier but muscled at the same time. To say he was in awe would not be enough, he was entirely entranced. The doctor behind him chuckled quietly after seeing Bakugo's expression.

"Mr. Midoriya, you're friend is ready to leave."

Izuku turned his head to see Bakugo staring at him from the doorway, but being the oblivious fuck he is, he thought it was because he was taking to long to leave.

"Ah, sorry!" He tilted his head and smiled.

"Let's just go Izuku." Bakugo growled under his breath and hurriedly marched out of the door to the receptionist.

Izuku stood up and bowed to the therapist, "Thank you for helping him."

Dr. Hydrangea smiled, "It's no problem, that's what I'm here for after all, see you and him next time then!"

Izuku waved as he walked down the hall to help Bakugo at the receptionist's desk, completely blind to the eyes that watched him from the waiting chairs along the building.

Back in the hallway, some of the doctors were gossiping, it was lunch time after all. (NOt 12, just lunch time.)

"Izuku is such a kind boy."

"He is, it's painful to see him walk into the hospital."

"It will hurt, but I can't wait for the day that will be his final visit."

"He's quite popular with some of my patients."

"Really? Mine too!"

"His presence is just very comforting."

"Don't let that fool you! This one time an abusive parent came into the hospital and tried to forcefully take their child, who's a teen, home! The way that poor boy flinched was dreadful, but Izuku happened to be in the room and I have never a grown man cower has fierce fully as I did that day. If I hadn't been there I don't think I would've believed such a thing happened!"

"That's nice, but he's a bit more than popular with some patients."

Several of the female workers and five of the male's eyes widened.

"You don't mean..."

"Oh I mean it all right, you should've seen the blush on my patients face, he was a strawberry!"

"My patient, who is usually very stoic, actually reacted when Midoriya first talked to him."

"Shinso asked me what his name was. He actually asked me a question."

Dr. Hyacinth sipped on her drink as her peers talked, taking in all the information they had about her client. She was pleased he was so well liked, even if some of them liked him a bit more than just friends.

"Dr. Hydreangea, what about that boy Midoriya brought with him? What's the news?"

Dr. Hydreangea got a very serious look, "Now don't go telling anyone, but they're just friends. Though with what I heard from just one session, Bakugo may have complicated feelings. Did you see his blush?"

They gossiped more and more until Dr. Hyacinth took the final sip of her drink, "You all know we have a serious problem here, right?"

The group quieted down.

"What do you mean?" Asked Dr. Hither.

"I mean that it's not just the patients that have taken a liking to him, the receptionist has too."

"But she's almost thrice his age!"

"Midoriya does look pretty mature..... maybe she doesn't know?"

"Oh she knows alright." Dr. Hyacinth growled. "I caught her snooping through his files more than once, and she likes to 'pop' in to offer him something to drink. Every. Single. Visit. He stopped by once when he was having a panic attack, the boy noticed his symptoms and rushed here as soon as possible, she glared at me, and then accused me when he left of not alerting the system that he had an appointment that day. She accused me of wanting to 'keep him to myself'." The sweet scented therapist sent an enraged glare towards the receptionist's desk. 

The adults surrounding her gasped silently, this wasn't healthy, this was beginning to sound obsessive.

Dr. Helium pushed up his glasses and lowered his head, "Surely she doesn't actually touch him, right? If she does we can get her removed."

Hyacinth sighed deeply and stood up, "She knows that if she touches him she's through. She hovers, just outside of his space bubble. I caught her having a nose bleed when his reached to grab the pen she 'dropped' under the chair."

They all glanced at the red haired receptionist as she smiled a bit to much while helping Midoriya and Bakugo check out.

"We can still put in a complaint, right? If she is doing something that we think is unsafe towards a patient or fellow staff member, then we are able to report her."

"I have, multiple times. They said I need proof."

The others stood up and followed her to the trash can.

"We'll try to help you."

"I can go through the camera feed."

"I'll call my cousin, he can help."

Hyacinth smiled, "Thank you all."

"Anything for the resident bush."

They all walked back into their offices as the next wave of patients came in.

"Come on Suki, let's go," Izuku said as he grabbed Katsuki's arm, "Thank you Mrs. Iodine!" Izuku waved to the receptionist, who gladly waved back.

As the exited the building, Bakugo looked over his shoulder and then back to the road, "I don't like her. She's to friendly."

"I don't either Kacchan, but she's never done anything wrong, sometimes she stands to close, but other thank that she's done nothing. She even brings water to all the patients!"

Bakugo gave Izuku a look that said 'what-the-fuck-are-you-talking-about', "No she doesn't, that doctor lady told me about how she never leaves her desk."

--------------------------------------

Iodine stared as the green boy walked out the door.

"One day...." she whispered to herself in a wishing tone.

'One day....'
