Chapter Text
Nemuri had two thoughts going in her head before she died, one screaming thst she cant die, not with Sushi waiting at home for her and the second was what if her students meet the same fate?
When she woke up in a hospital she was suprised. Her head rung a little as the blindly light of the hospital glared down at her.
The room was sterile as expected and the windows were partially open to let air into the room. Nemuri could just bearly see the moonlight through the curtains, a dark sky. Beside the pro hero was one of those pushing desks/tray(?). On it were alot of cards and she could faintly see a few drawings from where she laid.
There was an iv bag connected to her, maybe that explained the lack of pain she felt. It probably did.
With a soft groan she tried pushing herself into a sitting position and winced as thr position shot a flash of pain into her. Thr heart monitor beside her briefly speeding up.
Despite thr brief discomfort which slowly faded she could see the room fully. And find the call button after little struggle she managed to press it before laying back down slowly.
The ringing having finally stopped.
The room was quiet for awhile until a nurse walked in with a smile.
"Hello Ms.Kayama, glad to see you're finally awake! Its been around a month since you've been attacked. How are you feeling? Any pains?" The nurse asked nicely. Waiting patiently for a reply.
Nemuri blinked as she looked over at the nurse.
"Hi.." she manged to croak out, voice dry from not using it for awhile.
"..I'm...as good as i can be, no pains really...just..yeah" she offered weakly with a small smile. Unsure how to really respond, she didnt feel pain but...she could remember what happened briefly, not fully but..
"Thats good, now it is a bit late so if you want you can rest for now and we can discuss your injuries with the doctor and how treatment would be going on furthermore?" The nurse offered.
Nemuri nodded slightly, trying not to shake her head too much incase it starts ringing or hurting "yes- please, I think i need...need some more rest..but could I maybe have water or something to eat?"
The pro asked, voice still wavering every now and again. Immediately the nurse nodded and said she'd be right back before disseapering out the room.
When the nurse returned, she was quick to give Nemuri a plastic cup of water and toast. With a small thanks Nemuri grabbed the cup and the nurse left as she started to drink some.
Having been so confused that she was still alive she completely forgot about her students and cats, but she reasoned with herself that if they were in the hospital she would be probably already informed...hopefully someone looked after sushi.
After a moments thought she tried to look for her phone but she doubted it'd be anywhere here, afterall it wasn't with her when she went on this mission. Let alone would it have survived what she went through if it had been with her.
To her suprsie in the midst of cards and drawings there her phone sat, its purple case with a picture of sushi printed on it. Lowering thr plastic cup she pressed the power button to see if it was charged. Low and behold it was.
Once unlocked a barrage of messages were on it, some from the school group chat, others just texts of get well soon. And thr text she had been looking for most
~~Karoake + Drinks~~
Sleepyhead: Don't worry about Sushi, she's with me and Yamada.
The groupchat had tons of pictures of Sushi after that message. Likely the two having hoped to reassure Nemuri if she woke up without them there. She sighed fondly as she scrolled the photos of Sushi. A few were of her sleeping, and others were her doing silly stuff. Even a photo of her with Shouta napping.
It was a good reassurance that her cat was well and taken care of. A big relief off her shoulders. She didnt look through the other messages yet. Having decided that maybe some rest was in order before texting something stupid to a colleague or friend.
The phone was put down, a bit of toast eaten and she drank some more water before she tried to sleep again.
The next time she woke up the sun was in the sky. And she could hear more walking outside the room. With a small yawn she opened her eyes, blinking a few times before keeping them open.
What she had expected was the room to be the same as yesterday. What she didnt expect was to see her two friends and her cat walk into the room.
Clearly neither of the two expected to see Nemuri awake because they froze at the doorframe.
Sushi did not care about the fact Yamada and Aizawa weren't moving, she jumped out of Shoutas arms and ran to Nemuris bed, jumping onto it.
Nemuri let out a suprised laugh at seeing her cat in a hospital. She was pretty sure cats arent allowed in hospitals. Sushi seemed thrilled to see her again, squashing her head against Nemuris.
While Nemuri was distracted with Sushi, she didnt realize Yamada and Aizawa had gotten beside her bed.
"Awww hi Sushi...you're a good girl arent you?" Nemuri whispered quietly to the grey tabby, petting her gently with a slightly shaky hand.
The two men watched the reunion between cat and owner. It was sweet, if Kayama wasnt covered in bandages still.
"Nemuri?" Yamada said a small smile on his face, a geuine one and not one of his personas ones.
The woman in question looked up at him and gave him a small smile back "Hey boys, been awhile huh?" She said it as if they'd all been busy on hero work outside of the city for a bit and not that Midnights been in a coma for awhile.
"...yeah...how are you feeling?" The normally loud blonde asked.
Yamada and Aizawa werent in their hero costumes, Yamada was wearing a more casual outfit. His hair down and glasses on. Said outfit was just some graphic-tee which probably had an image of either himself or whoever annoyed Aizawa this week, a cardigan and jeans eith boots.
Aizawa meanwhile went for just a black shirt, unzipped hoodie and sweat pants, so pretty similar to his hero costume - the sweater.
"Alot better then I was when I got attacked im guessing" she said with a small shrug.
"Awhhh you guys are too cute! Worrying about me! I bet you two came every day to my side! Such softies!" The female pro hero teased the two, mainly Aizawa who just grumbled slightly.
"But thanks for looking after Sushi for me..I'd have hated for her to be alone or starving while I was gone.."
Kayama sighed quietly. She really was relived that Sushi was looked after. Her fingers kept petting said cat.
