Little Acts Of Kindness

6. The Escape

Izuku must have drifted off, as next he woke it was to Recovery Girl shaking him awake, which caused him to back away before he was properly awake. She told him that it was time for dinner and handed him the meal.

He gave a thanks, before starting to eat it, looking up to see that the curtain around Aizawa’s bed was open again and that a Present Mic was once more helping the other to eat. It was a minute before he realized that there was some music quietly playing. Coming from where Mic-sensei sat.

It wasn’t something he heard before, but it was relaxing. Just a gentle melody. He kinda wished it was a bit louder though so he could hear it better. But, he wasn’t going to ask the english teacher.

Still he found himself not being quite so tense in the presence of the blonde teacher. He finished eating and found himself lying on the bed, bored. Recovery Girl came back out and unwrapped the bandages on his chest, and Izuku caught the first glimpse of the creeping wound he had right above his heart. It was still fairly wounded, the nurse saw his confused look, “The decay had started digging deeper, it managed to eat away at the muscles and part of your rib cage that protected your heart. If the contact had been any longer it may have managed to reach your heart.” She informed him clinically. “I already used a lot of your stamina to heal you, so you will have to let the rest of it heal naturally. Same as Aizawa over there. These types of wounds just require too much stamina to fully heal.”

“W-wouldn’t s-stamina r-recover?”

“Yes, but this type of stamina isn’t just something you can recover with a short nap. It’s more akin to your life force, and my healing eats up part of it to speed up the natural healing process. With time your life force can recover, but a bunch of injuries, or a major injury will take out a huge chunk of your life force. When you get released you can not break anymore of your bones, if you do I won’t be able to heal it. So be careful or you could lose the use of that limb.”

Izuku nodded, repeating the words in his head. ‘Break a bone and lose that limb.’

She carefully disinfected the wound and then wrapped his chest back up, removing the heart monitor as she did so before directing him to get some more sleep. Then she went over to Aizawa-sensei, unwrapping the bandages around his head after telling him to close his eyes. Izuku took in a sharp breath seeing how black and purple the face was, it completely bruised, except one part underneath his eye that looked cut. Recovery Girl carefully wiped some disinfectant on the wounds and put on some clean bandages. Also removing his heart monitor.

Then she walked out of the room, towards her personal room. A beeping came from across the room and Mic-sensei looked down at his phone, grumbling. “Go do your show Hizashi,” Aizawa-sensei said.

Present Mic sighed, “I’ll be back tomorrow morning with breakfast for you and the little listener.”

“Of course, I’ll see you then.”

Mic-sensei started to walk out, turning he smiled at Aizawa, “Love you Sho!”

“I love you too you goof, now get going.”

The english teacher chuckled and walked out.

About ten minutes passed before Aizawa sighed and spoke up, “Can you put on Hizashi’s radio show?”

“O-of course,” Izuku replied, pulling out his phone and opening the radio app for Present Mic’s Put Your Hands Up station.

Some music was playing and after thirty minutes, when the clock hit 7pm, Mic-sensei’s voice came on, “What’s up listeners? How has everybody's days been doing?” Present Mic started, cheerfully talking about different subjects.
