5:37 p.m

I took my keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door to me and Rumi's shared apartment. It's been almost 2 months since the war with the Paranormal Liberation Front and Japan still hasn't fully recovered. So many lives were lost; villains, heroes and innocents. It was a war we nearly lost, if it wasn't for that little horned girl. Somehow her quirk brought Allmight back to his full strength and he was able to change the tide. But his fight against Shigaraki and Gigantomachia drained him again, but worse. He's in the hospital and it's unclear if he'll make it. But he wasn't the only pro to barley make it.

While I was helping against Gigantomachia, Rumi went after Shigaraki's pod and was able to damage it. However, on her way there she was badly injured, beaten, impaled, had a chunk one of ears blasted off and had her right arm severed. Since her slow recovery from that brutal assault at the hands of the High-end Nomu, she's been distant with me. She doesn't eat with me, she is always wearing a hoodie or baggie sweater to hide her injuries and our conversations have been essentially just her saying "yes" or "no" with slight differences in wording. In other words, she's not doing well mentally. Since her injuries she hasn't done hero work and it's pushed her into this state of depression. Today, I'm hoping that the gift I've got for her will cheer her up or at least get her to leave our room.

I knocked on the door to alert her that I was home.

Y/n: "Rumi? I'm home."

After a few seconds of silence I heard a voice call out faintly and without energy;

Rumi: "Ok....."

I took a deep breath and opened the door. Rumi as sitting on the edge of the bed, her head down with her messy hair covering her face. Her ears drooped downwards which made her look so miserable. I sat down next to her and looked at her face; her expression was that of pain and sadness. I lifted her chin up and tilted her head towards mine. Her eyes were looking at ground, deliberately not looking at me.

Y/n: "Hey bunny."

Rumi: "Hey..." she said weakly.

Y/n: "You know those eyes are alot prettier when I can actually see them, right?"

She let out small chuckle before locking eyes with me. I planted a gentle kiss on her lips before lifting up the metal suitcase I was holding and put it on my lap.

Y/n: "So I know it isn't your birthday or anything but, I got you something."

Rumi: "Y/n that's sweet of you but you didn't have to get me anything."

Y/n: "Actually Rumi, I did."

Rumi: "What are talking about?"

Y/n: "Just...please open it?"

Rumi unlocked the latches on the case and opened the lid up to reveal the what was inside. Upon seeing it, her eyes widened and were starting to fill with slight amounts of tears.

Y/n: "Power Loader and some pink haired girl at U.A made it, I thought that it would be nice to see you smile for a change."

The item in question was a prosthetic arm, high tech and designed to move even better than a regular arm. The material makes it supper durable and tough too.

Rumi picked the arm up out of the case and attached it onto what used to be her left arm. The arm made a hissing noize and clicked in place.

Y/n: "Try moving it around."

Rumi started doing a bunch of different arm movements, some she couldn't do before. She then got up and started doing jabs and hooks in the air to test the arm's striking speed. She soon sat back down and wrapped her arms around me in a tight yet loving hug. I could feel her tears making my shoulder wet as I stroked her hair.

Rumi: "Thank you baby, it's...it's amazing."

I pulled away and lifted her prosthetic arm up;

Y/n: "That's not all it can do."

I opened up a small metal cover and pressed a red button which caused the arm to hiss.

Y/n: "This may hurt a bit ok?"

Short, thin needles inserted into Rumi's shoulder which made her wince in pain a bit.

Y/n: "Now, touch my face."

Rumi: "Do what now?"

Y/n: "Just trust me."

She then placed her hand on my cheek, and the moment it touched her eyes widened again.

Rumi: "Oh my god I...I can...I can feel. I can fucking feel your face!" she said with pure joy as tears streamed down her face.

I then pulled her in for a long and gentle kiss, holding her prosthetic hand the entire time. After a minute our lips broke apart.

Y/n: "I love you Rumi Usagiyama."

Rumi: "I love you too Y/n, L/n."
