Chapter 7: The Hospital

Last time Craftwork partook in the Raid on the Shie Hassaikai Yakuza. He of course helped subdue Rikiya alongside his wife and her three interns. Now however the Heroes must recuperate at the hospital after such a dangerous mission.

Ryuko was currently in a room at the hospital, despite her suffering minor injuries the staff at the hospital insisted on her staying in a room for her own safety. A knock at her door interrupted the silence as she looked towards it. "Come in!" Ryuko said as Ochaco, Nejire, and Tsuyu entered with concerned looks on their faces. "Miss Ryukyu are you okay?!" Ochaco asked in a worried tone as she looked at her mentor in concern. "I'm fine Ochaco, I'm more concerned about everyone else, especially Eri and Nighteye." Ryuko said as the three girls nodded in understanding.
                Ryuko noticed that Nejire seemed to be troubled by something as she wasn't her usual smiling self. "Nejire, what's bothering you?" Ryuko asked as she looked at her intern in worry. "D-During the fight, Mr. Craftwork drew that really scary monster! I-I thought he only drew happy and fun things." Nejire whimpered as the monster was still burned into her memory. Ryuko noticed that Ochaco and Tsuyu were also scared from witnessing Craftwork's stunt. "Judgement of Orochi is one of Craftwork's special moves, he hates using those drawings, but he didn't have much of a choice in the moment." Ryuko explained as the three girls nodded their heads in understanding at her words.
               Ryuko sighed as she knew how much her husband hated using those drawings as it scared people so easily. "Please you three don't let that change your view on Craftwork, he's a good person." Ryuko begged as the three girls looked at her in surprise. "You really do care about Mr. Craftwork a lot, ribbit." Tsuyu said as she gave the pro hero a curious look. "Of course I care for him deeply, he is my husband after all." Ryuko said absentmindedly as the three girls looked at her in complete shock and disbelief. "You and Mr. Craftwork are married?!" Nejire said as a large smile spread across her face.
Ryuko wanted to slap herself for revealing her little secret considering how hard both her and Nagisa worked to keep it under wraps. "Yes, Craftwork and I have been married for three years, that being said we started dating in highschool." Ryuko explained as the three girls all looked at her with excitement in their eyes. "Really? That's so sweet! Would you tell us about it?" Ochaco asked with hope in her eyes. Ryuko sighed before letting a smile spread across her face. "Alright, but all of you have to keep our marriage a secret. Craftwork and I do it for safety reasons." Ryuko explained as the three girls nodded in understanding as they waited for Ryuko to start.

With Craftwork
Nagisa was in the hallway of the hospital as he stared at the door to the room of Nighteye, from what he could gather the hero wasn't doing well. "Are you just going to stand there?" Nagisa turned to see Aizawa standing next to him with his usual tired look in his eyes.

"What do I say to him Aizawa? Him and I never really got along and now he's probably not gonna make it. What can I say?" Nagisa said as he wanted to reach into his bag and pull out his mask and place it on his face and hide himself away. "Nagisa, you tend to overthink things, just go in there you'll know what to do." Aizawa said before walking off down the hall leaving him alone.
Nagisa entered the room as he saw Mirio and Toshiro standing by Nighteye's bed as Nagisa saw the different medical equipment sticking out of Nighteye's chest. Nagisa also noticed that Mirio was barely keeping it together and Toshiro wasn't much better. Nagisa then turned his attention towards Nighteye as he swallowed his nerves.

Nighteye spotted Nagisa as a small smile spread across his face. "I must say, I never thought I'd be happy to be wrong about something." Nighteye said weakly as Nagisa stood next to his bed and gently took Nighteye's hand.
"Calm down would you, this isn't the time for you to get all humble." Craftwork said as he tried to stop himself from breaking down as well. "No, I have to say this. I always respected you wanting to do things your way. I just believed that you could be one of the best if you just used your Quirk to it's full extent." Nighteye admits as he looks at Craftwork weakly as the Creative Hero lets out a weak chuckle. "It was never about being one of the best to me, all I cared about was ensuring the safety of civilians." Craftwork said as Nighteye let out a weak chuckle of his own.
"I need you to promise me something?" Nighteye asked weakly as he seemed to get even weaker as time passed. "Do you really think I'll say no?" Craftwork fires back as tears started to run down his face. "Tell Izuku I was wrong and please stop restricting yourself. The future I saw looks promising, but I want you to assure that it becomes a reality." Nighteye coughed out as Nagisa tightly clutched his hand. "I'll do the best I can, just promise you'll keep watching us on the other side." Nagisa said as both of them let out a chuckle. With that Nagisa feels Nighteye's hand go limp as a flatline could be heard within the bedroom.

An Hour Later
Nagisa was in a different room in the hospital as he looked down at a little girl still struggling with the fever she got after overuse of her Quirk.

"To think that this little girl was the catalyst for an entire Yakuza operation." Nagisa said as he looked at the little girl in surprise and wonder. "So far we've figured out she has never been taught to control her Quirk so Midoriya really took a risk with that stunt he pulled." Aizawa said from his place by the wall of the room. "It's a good thing that your Quirk can keep hers in check until we are able to teach her how to control it." Nagisa said as he looked down at Eri in curiosity.
             Aizawa looked over at Nagisa with a sharp eye as he started to think about something. Nagisa noticed this and wonders if something is wrong. "Something you wanna talk about Aizawa?" Nagisa asked as he looked over at the Eraser Hero. "It's just, you used Judgement of Orochi. You hate using your special moves, are you holding up alright?" Aizawa asked as he knew how much those particular drawings made the Creative Hero uncomfortable. "It had to be done Aizawa, it was either that or Rikiya would've killed Ryuko." Nagisa said as he looked down as he thought back to the fight.
Aizawa sighs as he walks up to Nagisa before placing a hand on his shoulder. "You look like you need to calm down, maybe you and Ryuko should go home for the day." Aizawa suggested as he looked into Nagisa's eyes and noticed both the lack of sleep and stress has taken on him. "Alright, but first I need to pass on a message to Midoriya." Nagisa said as he took his leave from the bedroom as he made his way down the hall in search of the U.A. student in question. On his way he bumps into Tsuyu of all people. "Oh! I'm sorry Mr. Craftwork, ribbit." Tsuyu said as she did a quick bow to him.
              "It's fine Tsuyu, I'd like to apologize if I frightened you during the raid, I just didn't want anyone to get hurt." Nagisa said as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "It's okay Mr. Craftwork, your wife explained everything, ribbit." Tsuyu said as she was scared that Craftwork would be angry with her knowing. To her surprise, the Creative Hero gave her a gentle pat on the head. "It's fine Tsuyu, you girls more then earned our trust after your work during the raid." Nagisa said as the student gently smiled at him. Nagisa and Tsuyu bid each other farewell before they both went their separate ways.
               After another ten minutes of walking, Nagisa finally found Izuku, who looked rather distraught. "The Hero life isn't always so glamorous is it?" Izuku jumped before turning to look at the Creative Hero. "Mr. Craftwork, maybe Sir Nighteye was right, maybe I was the wrong choice." Izuku said as he looked down at his feet. Izuku felt a hand on his shoulder as he looked over at Nagisa. "Izuku, I talked to Nighteye before he passed. He wanted me to tell you he was wrong about you. I know it's hard, but the future he saw looked promising! We need to make sure that future becomes a reality." Nagisa said as he tried to comfort the high school student.
                 Izuku looked over at Nagisa as the Pro Hero gave him a supportive smile as the teen returned it. "Right! I won't stop, I'll become a Hero and make sure that bright future becomes a reality!" Izuku said with confidence as Nagisa gave him a supportive pat on his back. Nagisa and Izuku bid each other farewell before Nagisa turned his attention towards finding his wife. Eventually he spotted Ryuko standing there as she was finally cleared to leave the hospital. "Wanna head home?" Nagisa asked as he gave his wife a crooked smile. "Yes, I think I'd like that." Ryuko said as they both made their way to the exit of the hospital.

At the Apartment
Nagisa and Ryuko both changed out of their Hero outfits before quickly changing into more casual clothing. Nagisa places a takeout order as both of them were to exhausted to cook dinner for themselves. Nagisa and Ryuko collapsed onto the couch as they both let out a tired sigh. "Well mission success more or less." Ryuko said as she gently snuggled into Nagisa's side as she started to get comfortable. "Yeah, but it came at a cost." Nagisa sighed as his thoughts wondered to Nighteye and his final words to him. Ryuko noticed this as she looked at husband in worry.
                 "Nagisa, something is bothering you." Ryuko said as she tried to get her husband to talk to her. "Nighteye...I know we never really got along, but I still respected him and all of his work." Nagisa said as Ryuko noticed just how tired Nagisa actually was. "You haven't slept since the night before the raid have you?" Ryuko said as Nagisa gave her a nod of confirmation. "After we eat dinner your going directly to bed, this entire mission has taken to big of a toll on you!" Ryuko said as she gently pulled her husband towards her and resting his head on her shoulder. Nagisa simply surrendered to his wife's demands as his exhaustion finally caught up with him and his strength started to fade.
