-x- Izuku Midoriya's POV -x-

My eyes fluttered open, head pounding. "Uggggh," I let out.

A woman - who I soon recognized as Recovery Girl - turned around in her chair. "Oh, you're awake, sonny." She hopped down from her seat before taking one next to my bed.

"What happened?" I mumbled. After a moment, I shot upwards, eyes wide. "Are they okay?" I asked frantically. "I mean - Kirishima and Todoroki. Are they alright?"

Recovery Girl smiled. "Yes. They're both fine. Todoroki sustained minor injuries due to his quirk's resistance, and I was able to patch up Kirishima quite quickly. You, however," she sighed, "Have been out for a few days now. I believe about four."

I blinked. "Four. Days?"

"Well, that's what happens when you rile someone up enough to get slammed into a wall before diving under a falling ceiling," she snapped, causing me to smile sheepishly. She sighed. "You're just as reckless as him... You're lucky, too. If I wasn't here, you'd be out for much longer."

Nodding, I laughed. "Thank you, ma'am."

"Mhm. Now, I'd like to complete a small check to make sure everything's alright," she mentioned.

"O-oh, sure," I smiled.

"Alright," she said, standing, "Just sit still."

--- timeskip because doctor stuff ---

Recovery Girl shone a light in my eyes before flicking the device off. "Alright," she hopped down, "You seem to be alright. However, I'll be keeping you here overnight just in case."

I nodded. "What time is it, anyway?"

"It's already after hours." She glanced over at her computer, "More specifically, it's 9PM."

My eyes widened. "Already?!"

"Calm down. And, if you wanted to know," she added, "It's Tuesday, so you'll be heading back on Wednesday tomorrow. Your teacher has excused you from any assignments."

I let out a sigh of relief.

"You know," she typed on her computer, "All of your classmates visited you."

My throat felt dry. "A-all of them?"

She nodded. "They left you quite a few gifts, as well, if you looked over at the desk beside you."

Turning, I noticed several gift baskets piled up on the counter beside me.

I picked up a note in one filled with sweets, turning the paper around, and read Sato's name written neatly across the paper. Huh. I didn't know he baked.

Glancing over at the table, I looked over a few more items. I felt a lump rise in my throat as I scanned through the simple notes, smiling.

After I was about to turn away, I saw a note flutter to the ground, catching my attention. Raising a brow, I bent over the bed, wincing from the pain. However, I continued until my finger swept against the paper, and I picked it up.

Sitting upwards, I unfolded the note, eyes widening once I saw how full the page was.

Hi Izuku. I'm sorry, but I'm not the greatest at writing letters. I still wanted to try, though. Maybe it'll make you smile when you wake up.

I furrowed my brows. Who wrote this? Curious, I continued reading through the paper.

So, I thought I should tell you how things were going. I should probably start with what the class has been doing.

For the past few days, we've gone through our normal subjects, though I think we got some leeway because of your guys' (I mean Kirishima, Todoroki, and your) hospital visit.

We did have a few lessons with All Might, though. Everyone was a little on edge, but I think we still did all right. The class had to do this crazy difficult rescue exercise. I thought I might fail, but Iida helped me a whole lot. And you did too, Izuku.

Confused, my face scrunched up. How did I help?

It's kinda weird sounding, I know. It's just that, whenever I started messing up, I remembered how you jumped in to save everyone. You didn't have a super warm welcome, but you still tried to help.

And your smile. When you smiled like that as you dove towards Kirishima, I couldn't help but feel horrible. For judging you initially. For knowing that, if I was in your situation, I wouldn't be able to do what you did. But at the same time, I felt like I could do anything. It doesn't make any sense, I know. But that's just the way you made me feel. It's unexplainable. And I'm sure everyone else feels the same too (oRIGINALLY IT SAID TWO AND NOBODY HECKIGN TOLD ME, YOU HOOLIGANS XDD).

My breath hitched, hand flying up to cover my mouth. My eyes quickly darted to the next line, seeing several smudges and scratches on the paper, marking failed attempts at writing.

I don't really know what to say, so I'll just write this. We all think you're amazing, Izuku. Thank you.

My fingers trembled, and I bit the inside of my cheek to hold back the tears. My eyes drifted further downwards, jumping between scribbled messages in different colors.

I hope you get well soon, Midoriya!

Your friend, Iida.

That was crazy cool man! I mean, it was terrifying, but it was still awesome! You better start feeling well soon!

Mina ;3

I'm really sorry for how I treated you. What you did was incredibly manly. I'm not totally great at saying what I mean, but thank you.

Kirishima

What you did was very impressive, Midoriya. Though, I must admit, it was quite nerve-racking.

Sincerely, Yaoyorozu

That was so cool, man! But terrifying. So if you don't mind, please don't do it again. Yeah.

Kaminari.

Dummy. I was worried.

~ Jiro

Thanks. This is Todoroki.

I snorted to myself at the last message, a small, shaky smile creeping onto my lips. As I scanned through the rest of the paper, a line near the bottom caught my eye.

You inspire me so much, Izuku.

--Love-- From, Uraraka

(^^ the "Love" is crossed out, there's just no strikethrough on wattpad pfft)

My breath hitched and the paper shook in my hands, teardrops smudging the ink. "Guys...," I whispered breathlessly, lips twitching into a smile. "Thank you."
