Why Do I Love You? (Bakugou x Reader)

Ch. 9 - Aftermath

Y/N's POV

I flutter my eyes open, looking around the room that I awoke to. It's the nurses office... I push myself to sit up properly, listening to the quiet hum of the medical machines. I rub the sleep out of my eyes, but when my hands touch my face, my jaw immediately starts pulsing. The immediate pain sends a pinch down my spin and I let out a whimper.

Suddenly, Recovery Girl pulls back the room's curtain, revealing my mom sitting in a chair, filling out some paperwork.

"Look who's awake!" Recovery Girl says cheerily.

My mom's head whips upward and her eyes start to well up in tears.

"Y/N!" She exclaims, setting down the clipboard she was using and throwing herself around me.

She wraps her arms around my back and places her chin upon my head.

"Mom... you're hurting me." I whisper quietly, letting her now I need some room.

She releases me and looks me up and down, making sure she didn't do any damage.

"Oh my sweet girl... are you ok?" She asks, worry consuming her.

"I'm alright, I swear. My jaw hurts like a bitch though..." I smile while saying that last part, knowing it'd get on her nerves.

Except, it doesn't. She doesn't narrow her eyes or say "language". She just rubs my head and plays with my hair.

"I bet..." She says to herself.

Recovery Girl looks between us and eventually begins to speak.

"You took a nasty hit to your lower jaw. I was able to heal some cuts and internal bruising from your fall, but I couldn't heal your jaw, yet." She explained. "Ms. L/N? If you could wait outside, I'd like to finish healing her so she can go home today."

She gives my mother a small smile, and gestures to the door. My mom takes one last look at me and rubs my forehead.

"I'll be right back..." She says and gets up to leave.

After the door closes, Recovery Girl kisses my jaw, causing the pain to vanish and I could move it properly. Though, I felt immensely tired afterwards and my eyelids felt heavy. My mother came back in and Recovery Girl explained that I was all healed. She said I needed to rest for at least 3 days before I could participate in any "rough housing".

My mom and I leave the nurse's office and make our way out of UA all together. She helps me into her car and I buckle up. The ride home was silent except for the occasional "How are you feeling?" that my mom asked every 5 minutes.

My mom helped me upstairs, even though I was perfectly capable of doing it myself. Once she leaves me alone to rest, I pull out my phone, looking through my texts. I had several messages from Mina, so I decided to answer those first.

Mina
