The past two weeks weren't too exciting I'm afraid. While the good news was that I got to skip school and didn't have to deal with Bakagou and his gang of cronies, the bad news was that Izuku became their sole target.

Speaking of Izuku; he has been incredibly kind and helpful during this time, bringing me homework and sharing his notes. We sat on my bed as he told me of the bullying... 

"Those dickheads!! You need to go to Aikido class with me, Izu-kun and learn how to kick some ass." I exclaimed lightly punching Izuku in the shoulder. He laughed nervously and rubbed the shoulder where I hit him.

"Wow, (y/n)-chan even though you've been in a coma for three months, you still hit hard. And here, I was hoping to finally win a fight with you and your atrophied self." A small smile graced his lips.

"Yeah, it's weird... Like I wasn't in a coma for years like in Kill Bill and you'd think I would've atrophied a lot of muscle but I'm as strong as ever!" Flexing my biceps.

Izuku stares at me for a moment then casts his eyes down to the floor of my room, mumbling to himself.

"What are mumbling to yourself there, mumbler?" I questioned waving my hand in front of his face.  He swats my hand away.

"It's just... The circumstances around your coma are weird."

I tilt my head to the side. "Explain."

He takes a deep breath, "well don't you think it's strange that even though you got blasted by an explosion, you should have been seriously burned and yet you're stronger than ever? Or the fact that there were no heroes who came to the rescue even though we live in a city with the some of highest hero activity in the world? If that building has a history of being used for illegal drug activity, then how come I can't find any articles of past drug busts? Or how about the photos circulating online of men in black suits and SUVs quarantining the surrounding area for several weeks? Or how about that Dr. Fiyuri? The way you describe him, he sounds more like a villain than a pediatric doctor. I don't know, (y/n). The whole thing seems suspect to me."

I stared at Izuku with my mouth open.

"I-I had no idea you put so much thought and research into this, Izuku." 

His face and ears started to flush a bright pink.
"Uh w-well, it's-it's because I was really worried about you and you're my girlfriend, ah! I mean friend but who's also a girl. You're my best friend who happens to be a girl-" He was about to ramble on but I cut him off by wrapping my arms around his chest, hugging the freckled teen as tight as I could.

"Thank you, Izuku." I whispered, resting my chin on his shoulder. I could feel the heat radiate from his face and felt his whole body stiffen, his arms frozen in the air; unsure of where to put them.

I smirked and let go of him as he bashfully turned his back to me.

"You're my best friend too, Izuku. Don't you forget it!"

"Yeah (y/n), friends..."
