(sorry for the short chapter, check the announcements)

(Y/N)'s POV:

Since Bakugo's kidnapping, everyone has been busy sorting out press and coming up with a plan to rescue him; even the students have come to me and tried to persuade me into asking if they can help, but I said I couldn't help them as I struggle now to even face the other heroes, knowing that I was so close to stopping them taking Bakugo away. If I was 2 seconds earlier, just a little bit faster, that much stronger, I could have saved him. It seemed to be affecting the students a lot as well, of course, I understand why because Bakugo is their fellow classmate, but it hurts to see them so down; especially Kirishima and Midoriya. Midoriya was in a similar scenario, that close to stopping the villains but not close enough, while Kirishima seemed more upset, struggling to get through the day without trying to come up with a plan to save Bakugo, making his academics drop as he couldn't focus on them while his friend is missing.

Currently, Nemuri is over while Aizawa is at a press conference, I feel so bad with him, from everything with taking main responsibility for the kidnapping, to the baby it seemed that nothing is going right for him recently; he's been more distant, quieter, with everyone including me, it hurts to see him this way as normally it's like he's a completely different person.

"I'm so sorry," Nemuri says as she places her bag down on the counter, coming over to me and enveloping me in a hug.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry about don't worry," I say squeezing her slightly before letting go as we sit down on the couch.

"It's just I remember when you came out and saw the result, you looked so nervous at the time yet the next time I saw you after telling Aizawa you looked so excited; I'm so sorry for that being taken away from you"

"If anything, Shota is the one hurting the most right now, I don't know how to help him, he was so excited he moved all his stuff here, for us to move in together since my house is bigger and closer to the school; every night he comes home and just asks me to come to bed, and just lies there hugging me, silently crying"

"I'll try and get Hizashi to talk to him tomorrow or something," She stops herself "Aizawa has nothing against you (Y/N), he knows it isn't your fault"

"I guess but I can't get rid of the face of excitement he had when he found out he was going to be a dad, the face of pure joy that was taken away from him, I never saw him so happy; he already started discussing names as well, he was set on one for a boy.

"What was it?" She asks.

"Oboro"
