Kirishima's POV

Everything was beginning to go back to the way it was before the villain attack, apart from Todoroki's frequent blackouts, of course. The whole class has been on high alert after being told Todoroki's condition, and have made it their responsibility to never leave him alone, and to make sure that he was feeling okay. Todoroki and Midoriya have been inseparable ever since they recovered, and were back to their usual lovey-dovey selves.

They weren't the cause of my concern, though.

Lately, Bakugou's been getting worse. He relapsed to his old ways after the villain attack, and has been hurting himself again. I've tried to get him to stop, because I don't want what happened to Midoriya happen to him, but it's hard to get a temperamental blonde to listen to you, you know?

And then there's Kaminari. He's not doing too well either.

The other day in class, we were doing combat training, and had to use our quirks against one another. I had been put up against Kaminari, which was odd, because Aizawa usually doesn't let two friends go against each other, and we were a bad pair, in my opinion. Throughout our fight, Kaminari always hesitated to use his quirk, which in the end, got him hurt. I didn't mean to hit him as hard as I did, and Aizawa was quick to stop the match and tend to Kaminari. I had hit him square in the chest, and had pushed him to the floor. I must have knocked the wind out of him, because he had trouble breathing for a few minutes.

Currently, I was sitting on Kaminari's bed, the boy in question beside me and tucked snugly under the warm covers. Bakugou was at the end of the bed, sprawled out and looking at something on his phone. We had both decided to check in on Kaminari together after dinner since he didn't leave his room, and it ended up with us staying a little longer than expected. When we were allowed into the room, the electric quirked boy ignored us, and went back to lying down. It didn't seem like he was in the mood to talk, and I had to beg Bakugou to stay with me so I could ensure he was alright.

It's been two hours now, and Kaminari still hasn't moved.

I was beginning to think that dragging Midoriya in here was a good idea, since Kaminari really enjoys Midoriya's company, and the greenette always seems to make any situation more manageable just by being there.

I think it was time to pull out the big guns.

"Bakugou," I murmured, tapping the older teens head with my foot. "Call Midoriya."

The blonde huffed, and turned to me with a frown. "Why?"

I motioned to Kaminari. "He'll know what to do."

Bakugou glanced over to Kaminari, and sighed in defeat, turning to go back on his phone. "Fine."

He pulled up Midoriya's contact and clicked the 'call' button. The phone rang a few times before there was a click, and Midoriya's sleepy voice came from the other end.

" . . . Kacchan? Why're you calling me, it's almost three in the morning."

Bakugou sighed. "I need you to come to Kaminari's room."

There was a shuffle, and a soft murmuring sound, which sounded like Midoriya telling Todoroki to go back to sleep.

"Is everything okay?" he asked, his voice hushed.

"Hopefully it'll be okay once you get here."

More shuffling, and a light thud. "Yeah, okay. I'll be there in a second."

The call ended, and Bakugou let out a sigh.

"He'll be here in a sec –."

Knock, knock, knock.
