Change of Perspective (TodoBaku)

Chapter Thirty-One

Katsuki's POV:

As they wheel me off to get my scans, I let myself cry. I don't sob or breathe in shakily, I just let my tears falls silently. "Hey, are you in pain? Did the pain meds not work enough?" One of the doctors asks. "No, I'm not in that much pain," I tell them. They get it and just nod, not pressing any further. I wonder what Aizawa actually told the police. I hope I don't have to go live with any family member. I never even talk to them. I've never even seen them in person. Maybe when I was born, but there's no mention of family unless they call my parents and I'm forced to talk to them on the phone.

My dad will definitely get sent to jail or something, and right now, my mom is being hospitalized, so they can't really send her anywhere yet. They might not even have enough to get me taken away from her. I've never been close to my parents, so it's not like I'm a bad person, right? They were the ones who always went away. It didn't help that I didn't tell them anything, but I didn't tell them anything because they never made me feel like I could tell them. I always felt distanced. Like we weren't actually a family. Of course, I love them. They're my parents. I grew to love the type of people they were, but I never felt close to them. I picked up yelling from my mom and how to dress properly from my dad, but those aren't exactly proper things to learn from them.

I learned manners from the Midoriya's, and cooking from being left alone constantly without food. I learned to keep to myself because I thought no one would care since my parents didn't. I learned that family isn't everything because my parents almost never talked to theirs, and that not all parents are good ones.

"Okay, this machine is really picky. You can't make any movement. It'll take a while okay? Try not to move, or we'll have to start again. Are you okay with that?" Doctor Kimura asks. "Yeah, I am. How long will it take?" I ask.

"At least 30 minutes, but sometimes longer. The longest it's taken is over an hour, but that's if you move too much, so just try to settle down, okay?" I nod and she smiles.

They start moving me over to the machine and fixing my head to where I'm both comfortable and in the right place for the machine to easily take the scans. I make sure to not move at all and try not to freak out. I'll be okay.

When they're done, Doctor Kimura looks at me and smiles. "Okay, when we put you in, there will be loud buzzing. It might startle you at first, but I'm sure you'll get used to it. Are you comfortable?" They've already put my head where it needs to go and I don't want to risk ruining the placement, so I give a quick 'yeah'.

"Okay, we'll be starting shortly. I'll speak to you through the mic. We can talk from there if you're comfortable. Would you like that?" She asks. "Yeah," I say. "Okay, I'll let you know when the buzzing will start and then I'll start up a conversation. How about I ask you about school?"

"That's okay with me," I confirm. "Okay," she says. She smiles and then leaves. I start moving into the machine and I feel myself start freaking out. No, it'll take longer if I do. I'm okay. I've been cleaned up and I'm in a fresh hospital gown. I'm okay and comfortable.

"Okay, we'll be starting now. The buzzing will start. You ready?" I hear through the speaker. "Yeah," I reply again. Before the buzzing starts, she starts asking questions. "How are you at school? You go to UA right?"

Todoroki's POV:

I anxiously wait for Bakugo's scans to finish. He has to do the MRI and then xrays, but I think he's finished with the MRI scans already. It's been around 45 minutes since he went in.

I look around and see Kirishima and Kaminari talking. Kirishima has been crying non-stop and Kaminari looks horrible. He hasn't cried at all, and he looks far. The look in his eye is concerning. I've tried going up to him, but he seems set on making sure Kirishima is okay first.
