Chapter Text
Bakugou sighed, rubbing his eyes hastily, and glared at the computer in front of him. He has been charting in between patients all day, along with running on low fumes. The resident he was in service with was suddenly switched to someone by the name of Izuku. Bakugou could care fucking less, they’re all the same; parasitic douches. He felt his pager go off for room 220, so he got up quickly and made quick strides to the room. The patient in 220 was a sweet ten-year-old; she was here for recent seizures. Her parents went home to just shower and pack some stuff for her and she was here alone.
“Nurse Bakugou! Is it okay for me to get a blanket?” She asked, smiling and showing her blue brace brackets.
“Of course, brat. Is it okay for me to take your vitals while I’m in here and then I’ll grab you a nice and fresh blanket?” Katsuki said, plugging in his information, and then asked her for her birthdate.
“Yeah, that’s fine” The girl smiled as Bakugou headed to the bedside, taking blood pressure. “Do you think my mom and dad will be here soon?”
“Of course, Sato. They told me they'd be quick,” he smiled. He understood that she needed reassurance and that she was nervous. “How are you feeling?”
“I feel okay right now, just a bit of a headache..” Sato said, looking up at Katsuki.
“Headache, huh?” Bakugou nodded, finishing vitals and then going to grab a blanket as her monitor started going haywire. He quickly turned around and found her spasming, foam escaping her mouth as her head convulsed back. He quickly rushed to her side, taking a look at her vitals and calling for assistance. Bakugou also paged for the doctor as he injected the medication to stop the seizure. Other nurses and help rushed in as the monitor went haywire to suddenly deadline.
“CODE BLUE!” Bakugou screeched. “WHERE THE FUCK IS DOCTOR MIDORIYA!” He screamed as he reached for the code cart that was pushed towards him. He clicked charge, letting them become ready, “Fucking clear!”. He put them on the girl's chest, shocking her and watching her vitals. Still nothing. “Somebody page this piece of shit doctor again! Charge again!”. He shocked her again and still nothing.
“It’s been a minute Nurse Bakugou…”
“Charge it one more time!” He placed them on the girl's chest one more time and shocked her. Nothing. He called time of death as they stared a her.
Bakugou stared at the ten-year-old. He has dealt with a few patients dying on him but this one hit hard. She was so young, sweet, and only here for a few hours. She should be alive. She would have been alive if…
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry, I didn’t-” A bush of green hair skidded into the room, looking at all the staff around the bed. Red eyes landed on him, and then suddenly a rush of ash blonde was roughly grabbing the greenette.
“You fucking piece of shit! You have a fucking pager for a reason!” Bakugou screamed, fisting his hand on the white coat in front of him. “You fucking always answer your page! What the fuck are you, stupid? Look, now this girl is dead because of your incompetence,” Bakugou seethed, “I can’t believe your fucking doctor. Now you get to tell her parents when they come back why the fuck their child isn’t alive” He growled, shoving the resident and walking out of the room, heading to a supply closet. Once he reached the supply closet he grabbed a saline flush and slid down the wall, a light sob coming out of his mouth. He felt some tears rolling down his face, his nose sniffing as he wiped his eyes. Working in pediatrics was hard, especially when he lost a patient. Bakugou isn’t an emotional guy but, children don’t deserve to leave that early in life. He let himself sulk for a few more minutes and then he saline-flushed his eyes, waking him up in the process.
He knew he was never, ever, working with that douche again.
Bakugou watched around the corner as the doctor talked to the family, listening to the way the mother’s breath hitched at first and then a full-on sob; her whole body shaking as her husband tried to console her as he broke as well. Red and green caught each other, making Bakugou look away and head in a different direction. He heard footsteps behind him, progressively getting faster.
“Um, Nurse! Please, wait!”
Bakugou whipped around, making the doctor let out an ‘eek!’. “What! What could you possibly want!” He yelled, looking head-on at the green-haired dork in front of him.
“I just wanted to apologize. I’m new and I didn’t know where my pager was and then I did find it but I didn’t know it was an emergency until I heard the code blue over the speakers and then I was rushing to the room but I got lost and my attending was also not answering his pages and-”.
“Listen, I don’t give a fuck” Bakugou stated, shutting Izuku up. “I don’t give a fuck if you're in the middle of taking a shit, you answer that page at all times. I don’t care if it is because a patient fucking stubbed their toe if I or another nurse page you, your ugly ass better fucking sprint” He growled, getting in Izuku’s face. Green eyes looked at him in fear, sweat building on the kid’s brow. “All of you fucking doctors are the same” Katsuki laughed, “You guys think you can just walk around with your dick in your hand but guess what, you can’t. Us nurses aren’t here for your pleasure and convenience, we know just as fucking much as you do, obviously more since how stupid you are,” Bakugou continued, “Learn how to be a fucking doctor or just go work at a fucking McDonald’s. This job isn’t for pussies. Now, I have some charting to do because I don’t have someone to do my work for me like you do. Now fuck off and do something useful”. Izuku stared, his face in shock and his mouth agape, not a single word coming out. The other nurses and doctors peeked over at them as Bakugou left.
