Chapter three
"How ya feeling?" Monoma asks, scooting the chair just a tad bit closer.
"I'm feeling fine, my legs don't hurt anymore."
"I didn't know your legs even hurt, was something wrong with them?"
"They were banged up and bloody...I just didn't tell anyone..." Shinso admits, looking away, not wanting to look Monoma in the eye.
"Shinso...why didn't you tell me? I could have gotten you help sooner!"
"I was fine, it was never that bad anyways," Shinso says, fiddling with his fingers, "how are you holding up?"
"I don't matter right now, you lost people that you're extremely important to, I just want to make sure you're ok." Monoma says, giving Shinso a soft smile.
"I'll be ok, but you have started to get close to class A, are you sure you're good?"
"I'll manage, don't worry."
"Alright," Shinso sighs, looking at him, "thanks for looking after Eri."
"Of course, she's here with Present Mic, do you want me to go and get them?"
"Uh no, don't leave, I can just text him, I want you to stay here though." Taking out his phone, Shinso texts Mic asking him to bring Eri to his room, putting his phone down afterwards, looking back over at Monoma. "Aizawa gave class A a week off to recover from the fight and the loss of their classmates. Do you know if your class is going to go back right away or if they're giving you some time off?"
"I'm not sure, Vlad hasn't sent anything out in the group chat, but even if we aren't given time off, I'd gladly skip until you're better."
"Thanks, but I don't want you to get in trouble because of me."
"Don't worry about me, I just want you to make sure you get better, plus I'm sure Vlad will give us some time off, he just hasn't said anything yet..." Monoma trails off, looking down at his phone which dinged right as he said that. "Oh, Vlad just texted the group chat, we also get a week off, looks like I can take care of you without getting in trouble," Monoma says, smiling.
"Well I appreciate it," Shinso says, letting a small smile creep onto his face. While they were looking at each other, smiling awkwardly, there was a knock on the door, "c-come in!" Shinso says, moving his glance to the door.
Mic and Eri walk inside, closing the door behind them. "Toshi!" Eri exclaims, running over to him, jumping onto his bed.
"Hey Eri," he chuckles, glad she didn't jump anywhere near his legs.
"I'm so glad you're ok!" She exclaims, hugging him tightly.
"I'm glad you're ok too!"
"Monoma, I need to talk to papa alone for a minute, can you take Eri out of the room for me?"
"Aw, but I don't want to leave Toshi!"
"It's only for a moment, then you can come right back," Shinso reassures her.
"Alright," Eri mutters, crawling off the bed and going with Monoma, who led her to the playroom right outside Shinso's room.
"Hitoshi, is everything ok?" Mic asks, walking over to the chair beside his bed.
"Not really, dad said something earlier that really worried me, he said that we would be getting revenge on the commission once I'm able to get out of the hospital, he said I'm behind on some stuff and when I told him not to do anything rash, he said, he'd been thinking about this for a while, he's worrying me, but told me to drop it when I questioned him, do you know what's going on?"
Mic froze for a moment, he knew exactly what was going on, he had been talking with Shota about this for a while, although he knew Shota didn't want the kids knowing just yet, he knew Hitoshi wouldn't give up on this. Mic was also afraid Hitoshi would take it badly because he's always wanted to prove he can be a hero even with the quirk that he has. Even though Hitoshi has proven he can be a hero, would he be ok with the plan? "Hitoshi, trust me when I tell you not to worry about it, you'll know when the time comes, ok?"
Groaning in frustration, Shinso sighed, "whatever."
Mic sighed and stood up, walking over to the door to let Monoma and Eri know they could come back in, but while opening the door, he heard something rip, turning around he saw Shinso slowly getting out of bed, ripping the IV's out of his arms. "Hitoshi! What are you doing?" Mic exclaims, running over to him, grabbing him by the shoulder, "you need to stay in bed!"
"Let go of me! I'm going to find out what y'all are planning on my own!" Shinso growls, yanking his shoulder away from Mic, making his way to the door, limping as he goes.
Mic sighs, knowing he won't be able to force Shinso in bed, decides on the worst possible option, to have Monoma brainwash him. Quickly walking past Shinso, he goes over to Monoma, explaining everything. Monoma who didn't like the sound of using his quirk on Shinso, especially after it came from the guy that told him to make Shinso happy since Denki is out of the picture, bit his lip, trying to debate what the best option was until he heard grunts of pain coming just a few feet away from him.
Shinso was barely dragging his legs along, grunting from the pain, however not caring about the pain because he had a goal in mind and to achieve that goal, he'd have to work through more pain then this. However, seeing Shinso in pain due to sheer stubbornness helped Monoma make up his mind, jogging over to Shinso's side, he placed a hand on his shoulder, copying his quirk, "here let me help."
"You aren't going to-" Shinso stopped mid-sentence, confirming that Monoma has successfully brainwashed him, turning him around, Monoma helped Shisno back in bed before deactivating his quirk, sitting back down in the chair he sat in before, giving Shinso an apologetic smile.
"Did you copy my quirk and use it against me?" Shisno asks, looking at Monoma.
"Yeah I did, I'm sorry, but I didn't know how else to stop you, you were hurting your legs even more!"
"Thank you," Shinso says, taking Monoma's hand in his.
"What?" Monoma asks, confused.
"Thank you," Shinso repeats, "I really appreciate it."
"Oh, y-you're welcome," Monoma stutters, not really expecting that response from Shinso.
"Alright, well I'm really tired and my legs hurt so I'm going to take a nap, it'd be great to see you here when I wake up," Shinso says, sleepily as he closes his eyes, still holding Monoma's hand in his.
Monoma blinked, confused as to why Shinso was still holding his hand but smiled nonetheless, this is something he's dreamed of for a while now, although he really wished it was under better circumstances. Smiling in content anyways, he held Shinso's hand tighter and sat there, determined to be there when he woke up, glad Shinso was ok.
Aizawa was walking out of the hospital, sending Mic a message, "leave Eri with Monoma and meet me at the spot, we have things to discuss," before hopping in his car, and heading towards the spot, they couldn't risk arriving together, suspicions would arise.
