What most people don’t realize with my pain is that some days are worst than others. Today is one of the days that is worse than others.
Pain radiates from the middle of my back to my hips all the way down to my toes.
I attempt to push myself up into a sitting position and immediately fall back onto the bed. My quirk has always effected me more than I would like to admit, but with each injury it gets worse. Even with recovery girls healing.
And ever since the incident where I broke my back it’s gotten worse. Even with the use of recovery girls quirk some days I can’t get out of bed. Or on the bad days where I can get out of bed I can hardly walk and i refuse to use a wheelchair. Though more often than not now I do use a cane or forearm crutches when I’m not in class.
I grab my phone and open Bakugo’s contact. While me and him don’t get along most of the time. He’s still the only one besides my mom who I’m comfortable with helping me on days like this.
Several minutes later he steps in closing the door behind him. “Want me to tell Aizawa you’re ditching?” He asks coming over to me.
“No, I just need to get out of bed,”
“Crutches Or cane?”
“Crutches,” he nods and slowly helps me sit up. I grit my teeth so I don’t scream and I end up pressing my face into his shoulder once he finally has me sitting.
“Are you sure you want to go?”
“Have to,” I mumble into his shoulder. He sighs and after a moment I give him the go ahead and he slowly helps me out of bed. My legs immediately buckle and he catches me before I fall to the floor then helps me to sit back on the edge of the bed.
“No, you don’t. The world won’t end if you miss one day nerd,” I stare down at my legs.
“I can’t be a hero anymore can I?” He sits down next to me.
“Don’t say shit like that,” he replies “you’re going to be a hero. Hell you’re going to be the best of all of us. You’re definitely stubborn enough to find a way,”
At least one of us has confidence in me. “I wanna try again,” I say and he helps me stand again and balance on my crutches.
The thing about bakugo is yes he can be an asshole to me but he does always help the best he can when I need it.
