Chapter Text

~Kyouka Jirou~


I have no idea where I am, how I got here or why exactly I'm here. However, I am sure that I'm laying in hospital bed in hospital clothes with Kaminari sleeping in the chair next to me his hand on mine, at first I didn't believe it but after rubbing my eyes for the seventh time I had nothing else to do but believe. I have no idea what time it is but I didn't feel like waking Kaminari seeing as he looks like he hasn't slept in two days. I rest my head back on pillow and try to fall back asleep but it doesn't last long when the door bursts open revealing Mina, Bakugo, Kirishima, and Sero.

"Kaminari we got your message!" Mina shouts barging through the door. Kaminari jolts awake letting go of my hand in the the process and I can't help but feel disappointed, he rubs his eyes frantically as yawns obviously still tired. "Jirou, my baby, how are you? We saw Kami's text message and I was so worried." Mina rushes over to me to crushing me in a warm hug.

"Huh?" Kaminari blinks rapidly trying to understand what's going on, "Jirou, you're awake? You're awake!" He gasps squishing my face between his hands making me laugh.

"Yes, I'm awake Kaminari." I smile grabbing his frantic hands trying to calm him down.

"Thank the stars!" He wraps his arms around my resting hid head on my shoulder, unknowingly pushing Mina out the way who doesn't seem to upset about it.

"So are you going to explain what happened or do you plan to leave us in the dark Kamibro." Sero asks leaning against the wall.

"I have to agree with soy sauce over there, what the fuck is going on?" Bakugo adds slamming the door shut. Kaminari brushes everyone off and grabs a water bottle from the table opposite and hands it to me.

"You need to drink water," he tips the bottle towards me, "please."

"Breathe Kaminari, I'm not going to die." I take the bottle of him and take a sip.

"You guys were saying." Kaminari finally turns his attention to the people crowding around the room,

"You really are something else Kaminari." Kirishima huffs making Sero and Mina giggle.

"Start talking dunceface." Bakugo sits down near the door.

I sigh, "I'm way too tired for this shit."

"We can talk outside if you wanna sleep." Kaminari suggests already standing up

"Breathe Kami," I grab his arm, "I'm fine. Bakugo don't shout, please, I just woke up I don't want a headache." Bakugo grumbles in response

"So who's explaining?" Mina asks sitting down on the bed next to me. "Because when I got your text ' Jirou's in the hospital, she's hasn't woken up in hours, I'm scared.' I wasn't sure how to react." Kaminari buries his face in his hands.

"Spit it out Kaminari!" Bakugo yells

"Stop shouting." I stress

"Yeah, yeah, sorry. " He mutters

"Well," Kaminari begins, "Jirou was going through her concert rehearsal when halfway through she collapsed and started burning up, you were barely breathing. You've been here for whole two days, you were scaring me Jirou."

"So how are you?" Kirishima asks

"Exhausted, like extremely tired." 

"Has a doctor checked up on you yet?" Bakugo asks

"No." I admit

"Kaminari!" Sero, Mina and Kirishima yell in unison

Bakugo sighs, "I'll get a doctor." He lightly closes the door behind him. Kaminari presses the back of his hand on top my forehead as he takes the water bottle from me, letting out a sigh of relief to see I'm not burning up. Bakugo walks back into the room with the doctor, everyone falls silence as the doctor takes my vitals and draws some blood from my arm. Mina rubs my shoulder in sympathy while Bakugo and Kaminari refuse to take their eyes off me, the doctor rumages through his clipboard before giving the final verdict.

"Ms Jirou is just suffering from being extremely over worked both physically and mentally, she's also quite dehydrated so make sure she eats and drinks well fro the next few days. You'll be discharged in an hour." With that he walks out leaving everyone is silence, especially me.

"Over worked, really Jirou?" Bakugo breaks the silence

"I really don't want to here it man." I mutter falling back onto my pillow

"What, I Don't get it?" Kirishima looks around for answers

"You're not the only one bro." Sero pats him on the back

"Really not the time to be sceptic guys, Kaminari looks like he's going to start tweaking." Mina sighs. Kaminari fiddles with his fingers nervously as he mumbles to himself, I intertwine his hand with mine making him jump at first but he eventually relaxes and slightly leans on my shoulder.

"I'm confused, doesn't your manager do your schedule so how can you be overworked if someone does chooses your daily activities, unless your doing something else to tire yourself out." Kirishima tries to solve

"Oi miss popstar we're waiting for an answer." Bakugo presses

"Leave her alone, she just woke up." Mina argues

"Just woke up my ass, I'm still waiting for an answer."

"If she doesn't want to say Bakugo, she doesn't want to say and that's it." Sero grabs Mina before she's all up in Bakugo's face. I feel Kaminari's hand tighten around mine.

"Jirou you must be hungry were do you feel like going after you get discharged?" Kirishima asks changing the topic

"Uh, I have been feeling like eating some Italian food." I admit

"I mean who doesn't love pasta." Sero adds

"We'll be waiting for you to get ready then." Kirishima opens the door

"You guys go ahead, I need to talk to Jirou." Mina sits down next to me. Kaminari looks around sceptically before dropping a bag on my lap and then following Kirishima out the door. I rummage through the bag to see clothes that look just like mine, dark blue flared jeans and an off the shoulder purple top. How the hell did Kaminari  get my clothes? "You good girl, you need any help?" Mina asks as I carefully get up from the bed

"I'm good, just hella exhausted." I take the clothes out the bag and enter the bathroom.

"So you and Kaminari." Mina sing songs across the door

"What you talking about?"

"Jirou, girl. I'm not blind I saw you take his hand."

"I was just calming him down, you saw him he looked like he was on the verge of passing out. I was just being a good friend."

She sighs, " 'Friend' does that not irritate you."

"Mina what are trying to say?"

"I'm trying to say that you might have feeling you aren't ready for, babe." Mina chuckles

"I'm way too tired for this Mina and I'm hungry talk to me when I'm better." I walk out the bathroom rubbing my eyes

"Okay I won't press but just remember what I said. Now let's go I'm so fricking hungry." She dramatically sighs

"Jirou, you ready to go?" Kaminari peeks through the door

"She's ready." Mina grabs him and walks away. I pack all my stuff away and follow after then just to be stopped by Bakugo, a stern look on his face. I try to walk past him but he just blocks my way refusing to move and I know I can't get out this situation.

"What do you want Bakugo?"

"Be fucking straight with me Jirou, over worked? Something up and you're gonna tell me." 

"I don't have to tell you shit."

"You know I will find out either way so it'd be easier if you told me." Bakugo seethes

"Well you better get to investigating then." I brush past him, I really don't have time to deal with him. I know he means well but I really don't want to drag people into my problem and if I seem like a bitch for trying to solve my problems then it's bitch I'll be. I plaster a smile on my face as I walk towards Kaminari, who's now buzzing with excitement.

Everything's going to be fine, everything going to be fine.
