"Hey you're back!" Izuku noted from the edge of his cot, buttoning up his uniform over the bandage wrapped around his middle "That took forever! Who was calling you?"
"Just my parents" Shinsou shrugged "They told me to get checked out so" he gestured to the room "I'm back."
"You should've been back anyway" Recovery Girl chided, hitting him lightly on the head with a pen "Wait there so I can give you the all clear"
"Well, I'm heading to my waiting room!" Midoriya announced, hopping off the cot "See you in a bit Shuzenji-Sama!"
"That is not a good thing!!" she shrieked "Midoriya please don't make my life harder than it already is!!"
"You're amazing! I love ya, I owe ya!!" he responded, finger gunning her and nearly hitting himself on the opening door "Oh! Todoroki-san! How's your leg doing?"
"Fine." The boy mumbled "And your side?"
"Eh, could've been worse" he shrugged happily "By the way, if you ever need to chat about anything, just ask Kacchan for my number- actually scratch that he'll kill you. Ask Mina instead got it?"
"Um, okay-"
"Okay cool!" he beamed, waving to the three as he made his way out the door and practically skipped down the hall "Toodles!!"
"What??"
"He is way too happy to be fighting Katsuki" Shinsou grumbled, leaning back as Recovery girl looked him over "Where does he get all that damn energy??" he glanced over at the awkward Todoroki still standing by the door "So what are you here for? Forget something?"
"Huh? Oh, no I just needed to get my jaw checked" he murmured. Chiyo looked over at him
"Yep. That's gonna bruise." She confirmed, Hitoshi turning his head so that the other couldn't see the triumphant smirk on his face. "Ice packs are in the freezer. Sit over on the chair if you want me to fix it-"
"I don't know" Shinsou interrupted with a grin "I think purple might be a good look on him~"
"Oh stop it!" Recovery Girl scolded, bopping his head with her cane as he stuck his tongue out impishly "Be kind!"
"Just saying" he shrugged, watching the other teen shuffle his way over to the mini fridge "Soooo... you and Midoriya sure seemed to hit it off despite the fact you nearly killed each other" the ice pack clattered out of Todoroki's hands "What's up with that?" the boy glanced over at him warily as he picked up his ice pack "What? Your jaw hurt that much? I don't bite~"
"I'm fairly certain you have" Chiyo muttered
"Nonono you're thinking of Izu- now he bites... hard. That bastard has sharp little teeth lemme tell ya" the two of them laughed while Todoroki stared at them curiously. Hitoshi turned back to him "So come on man, what's your deal?"
"He... talked to me. In the ring." Shoto mumbled as he pressed the pack to his right cheek
"Talked to you...in the ring" Shinsou repeated with a raised eyebrow "What, like a therapy session? He's a pretty good therapist to be honest" Shoto shrugged
"Something like that I think."
"Huh. Go figure." He mused, watching the boy make his way back to the door "Well, guess I'll see you around peppermint stick! Stop by for lunch someday yeah?" he grinned. Todoroki turned around, confusion clear on his face
"Why do you guys keep calling me Peppermint??" He baffled "I-I have a name"
"Wow you three really do share the same braincell" Recovery Girl sighed as the other boy started cracking up
