Chapter 22

I hope some of you have your tissues ready

Mina's pov

"Check everywhere you can!" Everyone rushed around, throwing things out of drawers and cabinets in hopes of finding a med kit.

"I got one!" Ojiro rushed back to where Hagakure was still kneeled beside Sami. I ran back and pulled off their jacket and shirt and someone else worked on untying their cloak. The cloak was thrown to the side and everyone in the room froze.

"Holy shit." Bakugo muttered, running a hand through his hair. "I thought-"

"He died." Hanta took a shuttering breath. "He was dead." I could see tears forming in his eyes and it seemed no one knew what to do anymore. I heard a groan from under me and I snapped out of it, moving to lean over his face.

"Denki, Honey, can you hear me?" I brushed away blonde hair from his face and he opened his eyes just the slightest bit. "Hey, Buddy." I smiled. "You have a damn lot to explain but for now I'm gonna need you to stay awake, ok?" He seemed to freak out a bit and become more aware as he pressed his hand to his side.

"Oh shit-" he started to hyperventilate and I motioned to Hanta for help. He quickly nodded and moved to Denki's head.

"Hey-" he tilted the blonde's chin back so they were looking at each other. Hanta smiled, tears in his eyes. "Hey... hey, Pretty. Breath for me." He nodded as our friend took a breath. "Good boy. Again." Kaminari breathed again and calmed a bit. Tears started to pool in his eyes and ran down the side of his face.

"It- it hurts." The words were quietly whimpered but everyone heard. Hanta let out a small sob and nodded, rubbing Denki's cheeks gently.

"I know. I know it does, honey." He sniffled and leaned down to Peck the other's nose. "It'll be okay. You're gonna be okay." Hanta left their foreheads resting together and Ojiro spoke up.

"Hold him down. There's no exit wound. I have to pull the bullet out, and god knows it's gonna hurt like a bitch." He grabbed a pair of tweezers and we all started holding him. Bakugo and Kirishima each had an arm, shoji had his legs and I helped Ojiro while Hagakure took care of Ayuto. "On three." We all nodded and Hanta was trying to distract him from what we were about to do. "One, two, three."

The three tightened their grip and Ojiro used the tweezers to feel around for the bullet. Denki let out a scream and everyone cringed, but no one stopped what they were doing. He was sobbing and screaming and Hanta was trying his best to console him.

"Hey, hey, we have to Denks. We have to. It'll get infected if we don't." He kissed his head and held it still.

"I still can't find it, dammit!" Ojiro sighed. "I have to go in deeper. It's the only way I'm getting it out." He grimaced before pushing the tweezers in further. An ear piercing scream came from Denki as he tried to thrash around, only succeeding in moving a little.

"NO! NO PLEASE STOP!" Tears streamed down his face and they were wiped away by a crying Hanta.

"They have to. I'm so sorry. It'll be over soon, I promise." He continued to leave kisses on his face as he cried out for us to stop.

"I got it!" Ojiro started to pull the tweezers out but a movement from Kaminari made his grip loosen and he dropped it. "Damn it, stay still!" He, of course, didn't listen and continued to thrash around. I huffed and quickly straddled his chest and held his torso still with my legs.

"Can You get it?" I asked quietly and he nodded, pushing back in as another scream along with sobbed out pleads sounded throughout the room. He grabbed it and pulled it out dropping it to the floor. Thank god it was all in one piece. We stayed in our places as he poured alcohol into the wound and searched around the med kit. He found a needle and thread and began stitching the wound closed. He wasn't bleeding much, so nothing major was hit, and it was far enough to the side that no organs would have been hit.

"Done. Alright, let's wrap him up." We got off of him and Hanta was still calming him down as we wrapped bandages around his torso. "There."

"See? It's over. You're ok." Hanta kissed Denki's head as he sniffled and whimpered, closing his eyes as a fresh wave of tears rolled down his face. "Shhh, it's okay, Baby. It's alright. I'm here, don't worry." He wiped the wetness from Kaminari's face and smiled down at him. "Rest, Honey. I'll be here the whole time."

"P-promise?" His voice was weak and scratchy, and it was obvious he was worn out.

"Promise. I'm not leaving you again." Hanta whispered and I sniffled, wiping my own tears from my eyes. I'm sure everyone was doing the same as we cleaned up what we could of the med kit and closed it to take it with us.

"Someone has to carry him back to the vehicles." Kirishima pointed out and I grabbed his blood soaked clothes as Hanta said he'd do it. Denki winced as he was picked up but relaxed once he was being held bridal style with his head against Hanta's chest. Halfway there, he had fallen asleep and he was carefully carried into Hanta's camper, where he was gently laid on the bed and covered with the blankets. Hanta took Ayuto and everyone left so it was just me, Hanta, Denki, And Ayuto in the camper.

"I don't understand. He wasn't breathing. He didn't have a pulse. He was dead Mina." Hanta rubbed his eyes harshly and I sighed, patting his leg. "You should rest. He's lost a lot of blood so he's going to sleep for a few days. When he wakes up, we'll let him explain, but for now," I made Hanta look me in the eye, "he's alive. He's here, and he's with you. Ok?" He nodded.

"Yeah, ok. You should sleep too. It's been a lot for everybody today." I nodded and kissed Ayuto on the head before making my way out of the camper and to the one me and Hagakure share with Ojiro and Shouji.

I had this planned from the beginning, but I guess most of you had it all figured out already.
