"Alright-" Dr. Shuzenji nodded, wrapping her stethoscope around her neck. "-you're good."
"Good?" You repeated dumbfoundedly.
"Yeah." She nodded, giving you a small smile. "Your x-ray's look good, your injuries look fantastic. I don't see a reason to keep holding you on restrictions."
Your lips parted turning to All Might.
It has been two long weeks since the fight with Stain, you have been 'grounded' ever since.
"I think you can participate in your school activities today." Dr. Shuzenji commented.
"Uh-" All Might stepped closer, "-are you sure Doc?"
"Yeah." Dr. Shuzenji nodded, "I don't see a reason to keep her on the sidelines during national physical fitness day."
"But she-"
"All Might-" Dr. Shuzenji cut in, "-trust me, as her doctor and as a friend. I would never give my permission for (y/n) to participate in physical activities if I didn't believe she would be fine."
"It just seems so soon."
"I know." Dr. Shuzenji nodded in agreement, "But her body heals faster than the average person. I believe she is at the end of her recovery. I don't even think she has to bandage up any of her injuries anymore."
"Her rib?"
"All healed, her x-rays looked good." Dr. Shuzenji turned to you. "See what happens when you just listen to us and rest?"
"Yeah-Yeah." You sighed but couldn't stop the smile from blooming on your lips. Dr. Shuzenji grinned, seeing how far you come from the first time she met you.
"I do want to see you in a couple of weeks-"
"Why!?" All Might jumped.
"Just-" Dr. Shuzenji calmly stated, "-for precaution. We can never be too careful."
"Right." All Might breathed turning to you. "(y/n), if you don't want to go to school today, you don't have too-"
"I do!" You jumped off the exam table. "Let's go!" You pulled on All Might's arm. "Thanks Doc!" You called; you could hear her faint laugh as you dragged All Might out of the hospital.
It was National Physical Fitness Day.
This meant UA High was going to be in an uproar.
No classes were being held, it was all just one giant free for all for sparing, obstacle courses, training with quirks, everyone was excited for it, and you have been praying you weren't going to have to sit on the sidelines watching everyone.
You and All Might hopped into his car, it felt like a breath of fresh air having a clean bill of health, having no health restrictions you leaned back against the seat feeling excited to get to school!
Bakugo groaned, feeling tired from lack of sleep as he walked into the classroom. He glanced around seeing only a handful of students were here waiting in their seats. Mina had her head on her desk resting for the few minutes they had before school started. Mina sighed, opening her eyes glancing over at your desk.
Where were you?
"Man-!" Mineta groaned, "-where is everybody!?"
"Yeah?" Kaminari glanced at all the empty desks. "Where is Midoriya, Todoroki, Jiro or (l/n)?"
"I saw them." Tokoyami noted, "They were walking into the building together."
"Hm." Kirishima thought for a moment, "Maybe they are at Lunch Rush, you know how (l/n) is with food."
"That's what I would put my money on." Toru chirped in. Mina sighed slowly sitting up feeling her cell phone buzz in her pocket.
"Huh?" She sleepily blinked, staring at her phone reading your text telling her you were in the Gamma Gym. Mina was confused, not understanding why you would be there...class was about to start.
"Hm?" Midnight peeked her head into the room. "What are you kids doing here?"
"What do you mean?" Sero asked. Midnight pointed to the clipboard hanging carelessly on the whiteboard.
"You just needed to sign that, change into your gym clothes and go join the fun!"
"What!?" The class jumped up.
"That makes so much sense now!" Mina said looking at her phone.
"Huh?" Toru turned, "What does?"
"(y/n) said she was in the gamma gym, and it didn't make sense until now!" Mina hopped up, walking over to the clip board seeing all the missing students had already signed in!
"It seems we are the ones who are late." Tokoyami commented.
"Ah!" Mina growled running to her desk, grabbing her things before running out of the classroom.
Bakugo rolled his eyes, slowly standing to sign the stupid piece of paper. His eyes glanced over the list, landing on your name he saw it was in the middle of Deku and Icy Hot. His jaw clenched, knowing you were with those two again.
----
"Hey-" Kirishima called out, having changed into fresh gym clothes he caught up with Bakugo who was leaving the locker rooms. "-are you ok man?"
"Yeah." Bakugo snapped, "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well..." Kirishima sighed, "...I'm not ok."
"Huh?" Bakugo stopped walking, turning to the red head.
"It's just..." Kirishima kept his eyes locked onto the floor. "...it feels like we were all getting really close, but then we all left for our internships, and we came back things just feel...different."
"Different?"
"Yeah." Kirishima muttered, "Like, Midoriya, Todoroki and (l/n)...it seems those three have been inseparable since we all came back to class." Kirishima rubbed the back of his neck, "It feels like we are being left behind...you know?"
"No." Bakugo bluntly said, turning to walk away.
"Yeah...maybe I am just overthinking it." Kirishima awkwardly laughed off.
"You're not." Bakugo stopped walking, keeping his back to Kirishima. "Those three idiots have been hanging around each other a lot more."
"So, you noticed it too!" Kirishima jumped. "I thought (l/n) and Todoroki didn't even like each other since the Sports Festival! I wonder what changed..."
"Hmph." Bakugo grunted, trying to shake off the feeling digging its nails into his shoulders. He didn't care about who you hung around, why would he?
"I just wish..." Kirishima muttered, "...we could all be close again..."
"Let's go find them." Bakugo groaned.
"Huh?"
"They are in Gamma Gym, right?"
"Oh yeah!" Kirishima perked up, "Mina said that's what (l/n) told her! Come on!" Kirishima grabbed Bakugo's hand and began running.
"H-Hey!" Bakugo protested but his feet willingly followed him.
The two students from Class 1-A quickly reached their destination, the gym was packed with students from every course. Kirishima looked around trying to spot familiar faces through the thick crowd of pumped students.
"Wow!" People cheered all facing the gym floor.
Kirishima spotted pink skin, he grabbed Bakugo's hand again and began their way through the tight crowd.
"Mina!" Kirishima called out, turning her head.
"Hey!" Mina waved back.
"What are you-" Kirishima cut himself off seeing the two people sparing on the gym floor, his mouth dropped open seeing you and Shoto were going at it once again. "-what!?"
"Yeah!" Mina jumped in excitement.
"Ho-How is she out there right now!?" Kirishima worriedly asked.
"She got cleared by her doctor this morning!" Midoriya peeked from behind Mina.
"Really!?" Kirishima jumped, "That's awesome!"
"Yeah!" Mina agreed,
"What are those two doing?" Kirishima wondered as Bakugo crossed his arms over his chest watching the match.
"Shoto challenged her to another dual." Mina said,
"Seriously!?" Kirishima laughed, "Didn't he learn the first time around?"
"I guess not." Mina laughed, turning back to the match before them. Shoto jumped from your blue flames, sending a flood of ice soaring towards you.
Bakugo's chest inflated as his heart quickened.
You recovered.
The two of you could finally have your match!
A hungry smile smeared itself on Bakugo's face as he tapped his foot impatiently waiting for you to finish this fight.
After fifteen minutes the match concluded.
You reached your hand out for Shoto to take, after a moment he smiled taking your out reached hand.
"You guys were insane!" Asui bounced on her feet as the two of you walked to the sidelines so the next pair of students could have their turn on the floor.
"Thanks." You smiled, taking the water bottle from Mina.
"Are you feeling, ok?" Mina worriedly asked, Shoto glanced over waiting for your answer.
"Yeah." You shrugged.
"Really?"
"Yes." You laughed, "I got a clean bill of health this morning."
"That's amazing (y/n)!" Mina jumped excitedly.
"I'm finally off restrictions so yea-" You were cut off my Bakugo grabbing your arm, dragging you away from the group.
"Hey!" Your classmates protested.
"B?" You looked up at him confused, but he just glared down at you.
"Your healed?"
"Uh...yeah?" You slowly answered.
"How healed?"
"I am off restrictions-" You chuckled, "-so..."
"Let's go." Bakugo said grabbing your wrist about to walk onto the gym floor.
"Wait-!" You laughed pulling him back.
"I told you-" Bakugo glanced back to you, "-the second your healed we are having our final match."
"-you have to sign up and wait your turn." You finished your statement.
"What?"
"You think just anyone can jump on the floor and fight?" You laughed, "No, you have to sign up."
"Ugh!" Bakugo groaned, not wanting to wait any longer. "Where is the stupid sign-up thing!?"
"Over there." You pointed.
"Come on." Bakugo ordered, you looked down at his large hand around your small wrist. He didn't let go of you even when the crowd thinned out enough to where you wouldn't get pushed apart.
"It's gonna be about a three hour wait."
"What!?" Bakugo snapped, getting instantly fired up.
"Yeah." The worker answered on how long it would take for your match to start, "This is the only gym where students are allowed to use their quirks. There might be a shorter wait at one of the other locations."
"Thank you." You called as Bakugo stomped away, still gripping your wrist.
"Ugh!" Bakugo growled annoyed.
"What do you wanna do?" You asked, "We can wait or go someplace else-"
"Why the hell would I want to fight you without any quirks?" Bakugo snapped, turning to look at you, causing you to smirk.
"Scared that's the only way you can beat me?" You challenged.
"HA!" Bakugo threw his head back laughing, he leaned closer to you. "I can beat you with both hands tied behind my back."
Bakugo was inches apart, you got a whiff of a sweet smell. It was like caramel and liquid sugar...
"Put your money where your mouth is pretty boy."
"P-Pretty boy!?" Bakugo growled glaring down at you, leaning closer. His hair as long returned to its normal style from his internship with Best Jeaniest, why did people still call him that!?
"Yep." You popped the 'p' glaring right back up at him not backing down from the few inches he held on you.
"I'm gonna make you eat those words, Princess." Bakugo snarled.
