The smell of sterilization and latex filled your nose. Your eyes fluttered open, fixating on the bright led lights above you. It took a minute for your eyes to adjust to the blinding light before you could truly get a sense of your surroundings.

"Where the fuck..?" Your voice came out rough and hoarse.

"Y/n..?!" A calm yet urgent voice called from beside you.

You slowly sat up in your bed, you propped yourself up on the pillows. You looked to your side, your stare connecting to Yaoyorozu's.

"Christ.. everything hurts." You groaned, stretching your stiff body.

Before you could react or ask more questions you were pulled into a comforting embrace. "oh!" You huffed, surprised.

She pulled away from the hug but still kept her proximity, she brought her bandaged hands to your face. She pulled you into a small sweet kiss. From such a small kiss it seemed to breathe life into you again.

"Oh thank goodness you finally woke up," She began, her eyes slightly glossing over "I thought you weren't going to for a moment.." She admitted.

"Oh, Yaoyorozu.." You hushed, still severely confused but concerned about the girl's emotions.

"I better go tell a nurse you're awake, stay put," She said quickly and stood up, stopping at the door with a giggle, "I guess telling you to stay put is kind of silly, it's not like you're going anywhere." With that, she disappeared from your view.

You stayed sat in the bed, thin sheets covering your tired body. You studied their boring plain pattern, taking notice of the IV in your hand. This drove your confusion even further.

After a moment Yaoyorozu came in accompanied by a nurse, "Hello Miss Y/l, how are you feeling." The nurse asked as she approached you.

"Good, I think, I'm just confused and it hurts."

"What hurts?"

"Everything." You threw your head back onto the pillow.

"We'll Miss Y/l, for starters you're currently in the hospital. After an incident with an attack, you were severely injured. You've been asleep for a whole week. It's a miracle that you're even still alive, the condition you were brought in on you were just barely hanging on." The nurse explained, clearing some of the haze in your mind.

She began to check some of the monitors beside you, writing stuff down on her clipboard. "Oh, also this was dropped off by someone for you." She said, taking a few flowers off the nightstand with a letter attached and handing them to you.

"Thanks." You gave her a small smile.

"We'll be in again soon to do another check-up, since you're awake we suggest keeping you one more night, but if all is well you are set to leave tomorrow." She said before taking her to leave, just leaving you and Yaoyorozu in the room.

You studied the flower then read the card,

Get better soon kid, we need you.

Love, T & T

"Whose that from?" Yaoyorozu asked, standing beside your bed.

"Uhm, just some friends." You laughed slightly, placing the flowers back onto the stand.

Yaoyorozu nodded, her mind seemed to wander.

"Mr. Aizawa told me what you did for me during the attack." She finally spoke.

The attack.

"Oh yeah?"

"You could've died." She said, looking away.

"But I didn't." You said, your memories of the night began to come back, the fight, the Nomu, the blood.

You looked at Yaoyorozu's neck to find a familiar bite mark. This small injury told you everything you need to know to remember the whole thing.

"I carried you to safety after fighting that Nomu, I thought I was going to die. But I wouldn't allow that, not until you were safe." You said, playing with your hands.

"He said that he couldn't believe his eyes when you walked out of these trees barely alive and covered in blood, with me in your arms. He thought you were gone that night as well." She explained, her voice shaking every couple of words.

"When did you wake up?" You asked.

"A little after you collapsed, soon enough for me to see you in that state." She swallowed hard.

*Flashback*
[Yaoyorozu's POV of that night]

Many alarmed and anxious chatter filled my head abruptly. I shot up from laying down, gasping for air as I did. Many others surrounded me, trying to cure my wounds. Even after passing out, I could still remember what had happened.

"Yaoyorozu! You're awake." Mr. Aizawa said from beside me, with the most emotion I've ever heard from him.

"W..where is she.." That is all I could utter.

"Who?" He asked, full of concern.

"Y/n, where is she?!" I asked a little more eagerly this time.

He didn't reply, only with silence. I quickly stood up, brushing off his efforts to keep me sitting.

"Yaoyorozu! I advise you to sit, you're in no state to be running up like that."

I didn't care, with all due respect, his words meant nothing right now.

"Y/n?!" I called out a few times, brushing past heroes and students.

It took a moment for my eyes to find a familiar girl unconscious on the ground. Her hero costume was torn in certain spots, blood was painted on her delicate body. My eyes widen as I bring a hand to cover my mouth, which let out a small choke.

"Y/n!" I say again, this time running towards the girl. I pushed past people around her and slide next to her.

My hands found her face, her skin was cold to the touch. My shaky hand frantically found its way to her neck, placing two fingers to feel her pulse.

"It's faint.." I muttered, feeling tears run down my face after trying so hard to hold them down.

I watched as her chest rose slightly in short breaths, barely noticeable. I wrapped my injured arms around her, propping her head in my lap. My eyes winced at the pain I felt physically and emotionally, holding onto the girl as if it was my last hope.

"Y/n, please stay with me, please don't make this my fault.. please wake up." I pleaded through sobs, tears falling to the ground around us.

My frantic pleading stopped when I looked up to spot an ambulance, also immediately after two paramedics rushed from the car, rushing to my side.

"Get the stretcher." One ordered to the other. "Please, let us help her, we'll make sure she's okay, I promise." He said, bringing himself down to my level.

I sniffled and nodded, allowing him to take her out of my arms. He did a quick check-up on her vitals with the tools he had on him. Quickly after they lifted her onto the stretcher, I watched through a teary haze as they closed the ambulance doors, with my Y/n behind them.

"Please.." I choked, gripping the cloak of my costume.

*End of flashback*

Yaoyorozu looked out the window at her side, avoiding your gaze. You watched her body tremor slightly, seeing a line of tears flow down her cheek. Without even thinking you got up from your bed and wrapped her in an embrace.

"Y/n!" She announced, taken back. "You should stay in.." She trailed off, "oh forget it, I just want you in my arms." She hushed, letting her face rest in the crook of your neck.

"I wouldn't allow myself to die so easily, not with you by my side. What I did was my choice, even if I didn't make it out alive it would never have been your fault. I saved you." You said in a calming whisper, not wanting to let go.

"And I'm so grateful for that." She said softly.

You pulled away, brushing any remaining tears from her soft visage, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Ahem.." A quiet voice said from the doorway with a small knock.

You stepped away from the girl and gave them your attention, Yaoyorozu let out a small embarrassed giggle.

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm here for one more check-up." The doctor said, checking his clipboard briefly.

You obliged and laid back in your bed. The doctors did a handful of tests on you, and you seemed to be doing well from the results.

"Okay Miss Y/l," He said briefly, "All the tests seem to be in the green on letting you go tomorrow. So we will release you tomorrow. Do you have any family or guardians to look after you when you're released? it doesn't say on file." He explained.

"Uhm." You grew quiet, it seems you've dug yourself an impossible hole to get out of.

"I will! Ahem, I mean I will be looking over her, I won't take my eyes off her." Yaoyorozu interrupted with a gleeful smile.

"Alright," He said, not all too convinced, "also Miss," He turned to Yaoyorozu, "Visiting hours will be over shortly, it's best you make your leave soon. Rest well." He added before taking his leave.

Yaoyorozu gave you a pout, knowing she'd have to leave shortly. "I don't want to go." She sighed, standing up beside your bed.

"I don't want you to go either, but I'll be here, I'm not going anywhere." You said and she looked down at you with an unconvincing visage, her brow slightly arched. "I swear." You took her hand into yours. "Now kiss me before you leave." You gave her arm a slight tug.

She happily obliged and bent over to your level on the bed, pressing her lips on yours. You savoured the moment, her touch and smell, you wanted it forever.

"You're a villain." The words are etched into your brain, haunting sweet moments like this.

Yaoyorozu pulled away, giving you a sad smile. "Rest well, Y/n." She placed a soft kiss on your cheek.

You gave her a soft smile as she picked up her bag and left the room, softly closing the door behind her.

You sighed and flipped yourself over to gaze out the large hospital window. The sun had set behind the distant mountains, taking away the majority of the light outside. You wondered how you got yourself into this mess, and how it would ultimately end.

Your thoughts eventually lulled you to sleep, like how would Yaoyorozu act when finding out your true self, your true identity?
