~13~ Damn Hand Sanitizer

Bakugou POV

What the fuck??

What happened? I'm in some kind of bed, and I'm kind of scared to open my eyes, since the sheets don't feel like my own. It also smells very strongly of like, bleach? Wait no, its like hand sanitizer...

I know that smell...

Oh fuck I'm in a hospital.

Immediately I feel my heartbeat picking up. My breathing becomes sporadic and I start to panic. My eyes shoot open and I watch as the line of my heart monitor speeds up and I see a nurse run in. I'm not really paying attention to that though. I'm just trying to keep myself from dying or blacking out. I see the nurse try to say something to me but I don't understand her.

It's just like it was that other time...

I wake up to nothing. I don't hear anything, which might seem normal, but I couldn't even hear the rustling of my clothes or anything like that. I open my eyes and I see my parents run towards me and they're crying and saying stuff, but I can't hear it. It's still silent. Nothing has changed. I start to panic and they back away from me before running to get a nurse. She runs in and starts trying to say stuff but I don't understand her either. It all makes no sense. I try to stand up but immediately I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen and left arm, and I drop back into the bed.

I feel myself cry out, but I can't hear it. I think I'm screaming at this point, just full out screaming at the top of my lungs and as loud as my body will let me, but all I hear is a tiny sliver of sound. It's just enough to pull me back to reality and I calm down enough to be somewhat coherent.

I think I'm screaming but I'm not too sure. Honestly, I could be doing anything and I wouldn't be too sure if I was actually doing it. I feel like my body is miles away from my mind and I lost my way back.

I start to drift back again but I feel strong arms wrap around me. I don't recognise them at first, but I catch a tiny glimpse of bright red hair and in a split second decision I let Kirishima keep hugging me. It seems to be grounding me just a little so I'll take it.

It takes a while before I calm down enough to understand what's going on.

I remember blacking out, and then Kirishima fills me in on the rest. Apparently after I went down, he rushed me to the hospital where I was admitted just in case the symptoms were worse than they looked to be. The doctors put an oxygen mask on me and that was about that. I'm free to go now that I'm awake, and that's what I'm going to do as soon as someone gives me back my hearing aids.

~Time Skip~

Kirishima drives me home because he had his car with him, and he offered to stay the night, which I gladly took him up on. I really don't want to be alone right now.

He sets himself up and then I take a long, hot shower. I guess I'm hoping to rinse off all of the trauma, but that's not exactly how it works. I wish it was though, that would make it a hell of a lot easier to deal with.

I come out dressed and head off to bed. I'm exhausted and I can't seem to think straight. Right as I'm about to jump into bed, Kirishima comes up beside me and sits down. Guess he wants to talk, and I'm 90 percent sure I know what the talk's gonna be about.

'So, do you want to talk about what happened?' he signs towards me.

'No, I don't. Now fuck off I'm tired and I want to sleep.'

I look away from him and bury my head in my pillow until I feel his weight go off of the bed and he leaves.

Honestly I kind of want to talk to him, but how the fuck would I even start the trauma conversation? Oh, hi! Do you want to hear about that one time I jumped in front of a suicide bomber and then went deaf because of it?! No, oh, I wonder why.

Not exactly the conversation I ever want to have thank you very much.

And on that extremely cheerful note, I fall asleep.
