Recovery Girl laughs when he enters with the biggest smile as he bleeds.

"Oh my, sit down," she immediately says.

He follows her order, sitting down on the closest bed. It's pretty comfortable. Even the sheets are nice and soft. He could sleep here instead of his room, really.

"I take it you won?"

He looks up at her, snapping out of his thoughts.

"You know it," he smiles.

He should probably stop doing that if he doesn't want any blood in his mouth, but he did do really well today. He feels he deserves a pat on the back, but would die before voicing that thought.

She approaches him before grabbing his head and tilting it around, assessing the damage. The harsh sting is still there. He would very much like to make that stop.

"Not too bad. It doesn't look broken, but definitely fractured. Would you like me to completely heal it, or just enough so that you can go back out there?"

"The second option," he immediately answers.

She nods and he lets her kiss his cheek so she can do her job. 

He feels the pain dissipate almost completely and sighs as Recovery Girl starts cleaning off his face. The blood had begun to dry, leaving an uncomfortable, hard feeling.

The exhaustion from her quirk doesn't affect him as much, probably because the injury wasn't that bad.

She wraps his nose carefully, and it stings, but it's nothing in comparison to before. He cleans his hands off too, and when she's done, she walks over to her little drawer and takes out a candy bar, handing it to the blond. One of his favorites.

"Grab a juice on the way out and finish them both before you get back to fighting. Be safe," she says as he walks out.

"Thank you," he calls, but it barely sounds like what he had meant with his mouth full of chocolate and juice.

He scarfs down the snacks, making sure he feels okay enough spar with someone else.

When he enters the building again, he spots Mr. Aizawa scolding Midoriya for- what?

He listens in as best he can as he walks by.

"-tried bribing him with food so that he could make an All Might sculpture with his ice. What made you think that was-"

He's such a fanboy.

"I'm back sir," he interrupts carefully.

Mr. Aizawa turns around. "You okay?"

"Yup. Recovery Girl said I'm good to go."

He nods in approval and lets him go find another partner to spar with before going back to lecturing Midoriya who doesn't look sorry at all.

He hears Bakugo laughing, and when he spots him, he sees him laughing surrounded by the others.

Kaminari waves at Sero who sees him first. Sero waves back immediately, calling him over.

"Did Midoriya really try to convince Todoroki to make an All Might ice sculpture?"

Bakugo laughs harder, making Mina giggle and Kirishima smile.

"Yeah. Todoroki even made an attempt, but his face came out all distorted."

Bakugo's wheezing now.

He laughs. "Really?"

Mina starts laughing too.

"Is it still up? I wanna see it," Kaminari says, looking around.

Mina points at a small group of their classmates, Todoroki standing in the middle, looking down sadly.

He walks over and sees that Todoroki is looking at the ice sculpture. When the blond sees exactly what the sculpture looks like, he runs back to the group, holding a hand over his mouth to prevent himself from bursting out laughing.

He had seen the different-shaped eyes with the most crooked nose in history. The mouth had floored him, drooping down, making All Might's chin lumpy.

"Yeah, he needs some practice," Sero laughs.

The laughing dies down and he looks around at his friends, deciding on who he's going to ask to spar with him.

"Any of you want to spar?"

They all look at him.

"Your nose is busted."

Kaminari smiles at Kirishima. "Yeah, but Recovery Girl said I was good to go."

He then turns to Mina.

"Mina? You're harder for me to go up against since I can't get too close because of your acid and all."

She nods excitedly. "You're on Sparky."

They stretch, do their normal sparring warm ups, and then take their stances at a distance away from their other friends. They both look over at Sero, who's the only one look at them, to countdown. He nods.

"Alright. Three, Two, One."

They both move forward, Mina throwing some acid when Kaminari gets too close. He dodges the gross-looking substance.

They both get hits in, Kaminari electrocuting Mina a few times while Mina gets him with her acid. He barely manages to dodge some acid that was headed for his hair. He just needs to discharge some more electricity the next time he gets close enough.

He's practicing on using the electricity in close range combat in case of civilians, which in this case, are his classmates.

She throws a high kick and he ducks. She predicted that, so she's already throwing a punch with quite a lot of acid. He's been careful about his nose. She hasn't been aiming for it, but they both know it would really help her if she gets to hit it. Villains would definitely take advantage of it, so he was kind of hoping she would use that to her advantage.

He pushes her arm up, away from him, and uses the contact on her arm to shock her. Her acid burns like hell, but he makes sure to use just enough to stop her from doing anything else and she almost falls to the floor before he catches her, pinning her to the ground carefully.

He tries not to think about her acid touching him. Bleh. And god, he feels like he's sweating so much. Gross.

He gets up after a while and makes sure she's okay.

"Um? You good?"

She groans in pain.

"Ow."

He laughs and helps her up. Her hair is a bit more puffy than usual and she has a few bruises on her. 

Part of Kaminari's uniform is burnt off, and he's sure his face has quite a few bruises. Mina really packs a mean punch. He's sort of glad she didn't hit is nose now.

"We only had to spar with two people, right?" Sero asks the two when they get closer. 

"Yeah, that's what Mr. Aizawa said. I think we should spar once more, though. Class 1-B is pretty annoying. I'd hate to lose to them," Kirishima says, cracking his knuckles.

He doesn't look too beat up. A bit of bruising around his left shoulder and a scorch mark on his upper back, but it doesn't look like it bothers him.

"How's your nose?" Kirishima asks.

Kaminari feels the pain that's there, but it's not too bad. It's just there.

"Fine. If I breathe too hard, though, it feels like it'll fall off," he laughs and Sero reaches to tap the bandages.

Kaminari is quick to react and moves out of the way.

"Woah there, I will cry."

It takes them a while to figure out who to go against next, but they eventually fight once more before classes are over and they can go back to the dorms.

Kaminari immediately knows he's going to shower once they get back. He doesn't like showering in the school, choosing to shower in private.

~~~~~

"You guys up for some studying?" He asks the group as they walk back.

They all raise their eyebrows in surprise.

"Wow, Kami, you want to study?" Sero asks.

He nods. He's tired of not doing enough for his grades.

"Yeah, ask Bakugo. I had him help me last night."

Everyone turns to Bakugo who gets mad instantly with the accusation of caring for his friends.

"If I can help one of you so that I have one less dumbass to deal with, you bet your ass I'm going to. Now fuck off," he grumbles.

Kirishima whispers to Mina loudly, making sure Bakugo can hear, "Wow, it sounds like he really cares about us."

Bakugo starts yelling profanities, not stopping even as they enter the dorms. They were one of the first ones to get there, so only a few people hear Bakugo's angry barking.

"Bakugo, could you please stop cursing so loudly," Momo tries.

He glares at her, keeping his mouth closed.

"Thank you."

She then turns around and goes back to talking to Hagakure. Bakugo looks like he'll actually explode with how much he's shaking, obviously angry.

"You," he points at Kaminari.

"Huh?"

"We're talking," he says before turning to the others, "All you extras better not bother us. When we get back, you better have some edible food or I'm killing all of you dumbasses."

The angry blond turns back to Kaminari and motions for him to follow.

No one can ever keep anything from Bakugo. He'll always think the worst happened, so he ends up extra angry at the person of his friends problems', or angry at the people who he thinks are the root of his friends' problems.

When they get to Bakugo's dorm room, he slams the door shit behind them.

"Now, what the fuck happened yesterday? You've been acting extra weird."

Kaminari lets his smile fall just slightly. Bakugo already knows a lot of the problems he has with his parents.

"Just my mom making a big deal about the usual. You know, grades and all," Kaminari answers, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You keep saying that. She still on your ass about that shit? What did she say now? Give me your phone," he says, reaching his hand out.

"Wait, what?" Kaminari asks, backing up slightly. He's frowning now.

"You heard me, hand it over." He makes grabby hands and Kaminari laughs nervously.

"Dude, you're insane. I told her I would bring them up, and that's what I'll do. I really need to do this for me too, you know?"

Bakugo sighs dramatically. He doesn't like that. Not one bit and it's obvious. Bakugo always makes sure his friends are okay. It's an aggressive sort of thing, but everyone knows he cares.

All his friends have been checked on, even with the mental health stuff. Bakugo's been through shit himself, and he's not at one-hundred percent, but he takes pride in being the best friend he can be. The others love that about him, but if anyone mentions it, he'd kill us with his bare hands.

He starts pacing back and forth in the middle of the room while Kaminari sits on the bed awkwardly,

"I fucking get that, but if you stress yourself out too much, you're gonna fucking make yourself sick. You better not be keeping shit to yourself. I don't give a flying fuck if it's me, but you tell any extra if something is fucking bothering you. You got that, dumbass?"

Kaminari nods and gives another stupid salute. Bakugo hates it, but Kaminari does it all the time for that reason.

Bakugo sits on the edge of the bed, too. It's quiet for a while.

"So?"

Kaminari looks around the room. It's lightly decorated and personalized. There are band posters here and there, but it's not like Kaminari hasn't been in here before. Hell, he's stayed the night on particularly rough days. It's just that he kind of forgets what it looks like every time.

"Let's just wait a while to make sure the idiots have the food actually done. I don't want to deal with having to boss them around right now. I'm pissed off."

Kaminari nods, understanding.

"You should change, and let me go shower. I'll go to mine and we'll just meet back up in the kitchen," he immediately decides, and makes his way to the door.

Bakugo blocks the way.

"Like I said, if you're hiding something, I'll kill you if you don't tell anyone," he threatens.

Ooo wow, great threat. He almost laughs.

"Alright, Blasty. Now, I need to shower," he smiles.

"Yeah, I know. You fucking reek. Get out of my room," he says, moving out of the way.

Kaminari never knows how to talk about feelings and stuff, usually choosing to leave things unsaid. It's more comfortable for him, makes him feel less nervous, but as he leaves Bakugo's room, he quickly turns around.

"Uh, thanks or whatever," he rushes out before slamming the door shut.

He practically runs to his room, hoping Bakugo doesn't chase him down, telling him to never thank him because he's 'gonna be the best at everything' meaning being the best friend too, though, he'll never say they're friends.

Man, he thinks to himself, I really need to learn to not be awkward.
