DeBreeze = Febreeze

Above is Deku's height and Uraraka's height! Also imma bully Uraraka for how short she is in a minute so..

Why is it so coldddddddd?!

I picked up my phone, seeing a few notifications from Ochako and Iida as to why I wasn't in again.

Well, the reason I wasn't in again was because I had somehow become even more sick.
My temperature was now resting at 38.2°C, and my cough was even worse than yesterday.

I clicked onto Directcable again and then onto 'story', starting to record yet another update.
"Hey.." I started, wiping my hair away from my face. "So it turns out I will NOT be coming back toda—"
I let out a violent cough which felt like it shook my lungs.
I held back a whimper of pain as my throat started to throb painfully, instead continuing what I was saying.
"Yeah...so I won't be coming back yet...Since my mum's not here I'll have to look after myself too.. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't worry...Bye.." 

It stopped recording and I let out a small groan before standing up and slowly walking towards the kitchen.
I opened a cupboard and took a glass out, filling it with water from the tap and taking a swig, feeling it soothe my throat's pain as soon as it flooded down my throat.
I slouched my shoulders slightly and trudged back to my room, being careful not to spill my drink.

As soon as I walked in, I recoiled at the awful stench filling my nostrils.
All I could smell was sweat and old socks since the washing hadn't been taken out and cleaned in a while.
Being the responsible person I am (that was sarcasm if you couldn't tell),I placed down my glass of water onto my bedside table and picked up the washing basket and took it to the appliances room where the three washing machines were.

My mother does love her washing machines.

Each one has a different type of washing which goes into it.
One for light, or white, washing, one for dark washing and the other for coloured clothes.

I started piling them all into three different piles, colour, light or dark.

I dumped the last pile of washing into a washing machine and dusted my hands off, picking up the basket and heading back to my room to try and sleep, yet again.

When I walked in, I immediately felt the heat of my room on my skin, making it hard to breathe. No wonder I was still sick! I can't breathe in here at all!
I walked towards a my windows and opened them both; feeling the cold air wash over my skin was a relief.
I took off my shirt and slumped down onto my bed, laying on my stomach without my quilt on so I could cool down.

I must've fell asleep at one point because I jolted awake when a knock on the front door reached my ears. Jumping out of bed, I slipped my feet into a pair of slippers and heading to answer the door.

I slotted the key into place and opened the door, rubbing my eyes tiredly.
"Midoriya!" Uraraka exclaimed, walking into the apartment.
"Hey Uraraka.." I yawned out, a small cough emerging from my mouth as I closed the door back over, before I turned to face her again. "What're you doing here?"
She smiled sheepishly at me, placing a small bag on the floor.
"I came to look after you." She said, grabbing my wrist and half-dragging me back to my room. "You're sick and by yourself, so I came to help you out!"
She basically threw me back onto my bed before walking around my room to find something to help with.

"Right, last time I saw this room, there was a load of washing in that basket—" I winced slightly as she let out an exasperated sigh.
"You did the washing didn't you..?" She said, a deadpan expression on her face.
"No—"
As though the world was out to get me, a loud, continuous beep echoed from the appliance room, followed by two more a few seconds later.
"Okay maybe I did."

She threw me a disappointed look, folding her arms and looking at me disapprovingly.
"Midoriya, you're sick. You need to stay in bed."
I nodded my head slowly, sighing dramatically as she walked out to get the washing, laying down in my bed and shutting my eyes again.

A few minutes later, Uraraka walked back in with the piles of washing floating behind her.
I started to get up to help, but one glare from her sent me laying back down again.
I watched as she sent the washing piles over towards my wardrobe, pushing them gently into place before she dropped them down.
"There." She said, placing her hands on her hips and turning to smile at me. "You don't need to help me, just get some rest and I'll do everything else, okay?"

I nodded again, picking up my glass of water from hours ago and taking another swig of it as Ochako sprayed DeBreeze around the room to freshen up the diluted and faint smell of sweat.

- - -

Ochako had fell asleep on the end of my bed while I slept, and when I awoke, I felt the need to lay her down properly.
I gently lifted her up in a bridal hold and placed her head onto my pillow, pulling my hands from underneath her and tugging the blanket over her before heading to the living room and settling myself onto the couch.

- - -

A loud, infuriated yell of my name was heard from my bedroom, shaking me awake.
"MIDORIYA!"
I gulped and sunk as low as I could into the couch, watching her storm out of my room in fury.
"MIDORIYA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU YOU SCUMBAG?!"

'Oh hell no.' I waited for her to enter the bathroom before bolting over to my bedroom and jumping back into bed.
Maybe she would leave me alone then.

- - -

It turns out I was wrong.

"MIDORIYA WHAT THE HELL?!" Ochako shouted, veins popping up on her forehead. "I WAKE UP AND YOU'RE GONE! THEN I REALISE YOU MUST'VE WOKE UP AND MOVED ME, AND THEN WENT TO SLEEP SOMEWHERE ELSE! YOU FIRST OF ALL DO NOT MOVE ME WHILE IM SLEEPING, SECOND OF ALL YOU DO NOT GET OUT OF BED AND THIRD OF ALL YOU DO NOT WANDER OFF!"
I nodded quickly, my eyes widened in shock at being reprimanded like a child.
"Good. Now go back to sleep like a good boy."

And now she's mocking me.

- - -

I did listen to what she told me to do and fell asleep again.
Little did I know I would feel much better after waking up.

Who knew? Sleep is actually good for you! Certainly not me, apparently

I stood up and walked out of my room, hearing the blaring of the television from the living room.
"Hey Uraraka.." I greeted, only to get a glare back from her.
"Midoriya why aren't you in bed?" She asked, standing up and making her way over to me. I held up my hands so she couldn't reach up and grab my wrists and smiled at her.
"I'm feeling a lot better than I did." I said, slowly lowering my hands back down to my sides after hearing a sigh come from her mouth.
"Good. Oh and I'm gonna be sleeping over since my parents let me." She said casually, but this did not get back a casual answer.

"Wait what?!" I exclaimed, "If I'd have known I would've cleared the guest bedroom, and I'm not allowed in my mother's bedroom at all so you can't sleep there, and the couch is a terrible place to sleep so that's not an option.."
I turned around and muttered to myself about possible sleeping places, but that was put to a pause when Uraraka suggested a place.

"I could just sleep in the same bed as you?"

I think I fainted.
