BNHA Rp blog for Mel Ilyrico: doctor, reluctant quirk user, boarder.

[solasdaite]

So...

I never thought I’d be making this post.

I mean -ever. This was never in the list of possibilities in my life.

I never thought that I’d be resigning from my position at the hospital. It’s all I’ve wanted since I was little. I was going to become a doctor and treat the heroes that saved everyone. I had a plan. Ask my siblings, I can be flexible, but my life plan has always been a specific way.

But I handed in my resignation. Still kinda surreal I won’t be coming back from vacation.

Instead I’ve been offered- and accepted, a position with The Wonder Duo. As their personal doctor.

I mean I’ll be doing some other work for them too. There’s talk about my helping out with some of the hero offices they work with treating emergencies or making sure those heroes are taking care of themselves. They’re giving me a whole floor at their office, and I get to help design it! And of course, most importantly, Pro Heroes Deku and Ground Zero’s health is my priority.

And even more: they’re my friends.

So I guess for all of you who’ve found this blog over time for one reason or another, you can now find me at @doctor-melody-ilyrico

(Apparently working for a Wonder Duo gets you a nice and shiny blog!)

Thank you for anyone who follows me into this next chapter in my life. I never planned this, but I’m looking forward to the new challenge.

And honestly… They both mean a lot to me. They have since I met them. So this… this is great.

[the-wonder-duo]

Shaddup.

I ain’t whipped. 

[solasdaite]

Being whipped and being in love are different things.

Bakugou-san is the latter. Trust me, I’ve seen them.

[the-wonder-duo]

I think that we’ve come to an unspoken agreement that we’ll stay here.

I think that this place that we live in now— I know we’ve referred to it in the past as an apartment, even though it’s more of a split townhouse —is the only place that Kacchan has felt comfortable letting his guard down in years. 

When we’re outside, even if we’re relaxing with our friends or our family, we always have to be vigilante; there may be danger around every turn. Of course, we don’t try to be paranoid about such things, but the fact of the matter is that we have to exercise a certain amount of appropriate caution when we’re out and about. 

Here, though, in this house? Kacchan allows himself to decompress, letting the pressures of the day slide from his shoulders, if only a bit. 

I’m beginning to feel the same myself. I have to admit that I’ve grown rather attached to this place over the past couple of months; it’s nothing like the places that I’ve lived in the past. There are certain elements in place that allow this be a sanctuary of sorts; we’d be hard-pressed to find protection that’s half as fitting anywhere else. 

And then there’s the matter of Okami-san herself. 

She’s growing old, and although I think she’d have to be hard-pressed to admit it, she does need help doing small chores like carrying groceries up the stairs, and Kacchan and I always do our best to assist her with any errands. Her family doesn’t visit her much— if at all —and she and Kacchan seem to get along quite well; she seems to be incredibly fond of him, and judging by the way that Kacchan treats her— the way he holds himself around her, and the way he speaks to her —he holds a tremendous amount of respect and affection for her, as well.

Theirs is a relationship that has been forged for over half a decade, and I don’t think that Kacchan would want to be away from her. I’d hate to leave her, too. 

And as for the house itself… 

Much of the decor remains from the days when Okami-san and her late husband used the whole of the house, and Kacchan hasn’t seen fit to change it much; it’s refined, but not in the pretentious manner that causes Kacchan to sneer. I’ve added to the furnishings myself, in my time here, and along with the imprints of Kacchan… I think we’ve made a lovely home for ourselves. 

And this is only just the beginning. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I’m not sure; Kacchan’s always been rather protective of this place, even when we were first starting out as Pro Hero duo. In fact, even after I’d asked multiple times— it was incredibly inconvenient and some might even say dangerous to be misinformed of such a thing when it came to my partner —I wasn’t even sure where he lived myself until my twenty first birthday. 

I believe that we’ve mentioned this before on this blog, but it was only then that Kacchan gifted me with the figurative key to his home. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Unfortunately, it was only earlier this morning that Okami-san reassured us of how this house has been christened many, many times over her and her late husband for several decades. 

[solasdaite]

.... Oh my god.

I can’t stop laughing.

[solasdaite]

Having a place- a home, that you can feel comfortable and yourself in is too important to give up. If you both have that where you are now, don’t give it up for anything. 

Privacy is hard won in this world, especially in your line of work. Having a place you can retreat to, a place that is yours together... 

Not that i’m lecturing you or that my opinion holds weight! Heh. I just agree. 

And I’m glad you’re both happy. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I.

Um.

I’m okay!

I’m great!!

[the-wonder-duo]

You think so? 

[the-wonder-duo]

I. 

I, um. 

I mean. 

[solasdaite]

You are so awkward. So so awkward.

Just say yes next time lol

[the-wonder-duo]

I.

Um.

I’m okay!

I’m great!!

[solasdaite]

I’m glad you had a good night. 😉😘

[the-wonder-duo]

Today, Ground Zero captured a man that has endangered the public and haunted both of us for quite some time.

Now that Backlash is behind bars, the citizens of Japan can sleep a little more contently at night, knowing that they’re safe from this terrible man. 

The families of his victims can rest a little easier, as well, knowing that justice for their loved ones will be found at last. 

And Kacchan and I… 

We’re not— happy, exactly, but there’s something like relief— a break in the tension, something that’s been there for months, perhaps, so heavy and weighted, pulling us down —in the air around us.

It’s palpable. 

After what happened the last time that I’d tried to intervene— after I’d let the absolute rage that threatened to suffocate me from the inside out consume me, overwhelm me… I thought it best to help those who were around me in a more immediate way; I thought it best to help others to safety, confident in the fact that Kacchan would be able to take down his foes independently. 

I was not wrong in that line of thought; Ground Zero performed amazingly well in battle today, and it’s thanks to him that the villain Backlash was finally apprehended, after months of searching and after multiple run-ins with heroes from around the world. 

I’m so incredibly proud to have him as a partner, and I’m so glad that some of the weight— if only a little —that has been born of Backlash will no longer coat his every move and thought like an insidious second skin. 

Physically, Kacchan is expected to make a full recovery; in fact, there isn’t much left to the injuries that he incurred today even now. 

Emotionally? 

Perhaps this can be the start of a new period of healing. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I think so, too!!! 

I—

Uh.

I… have to go? 

[solasdaite]

💦💦💦💦

Enjoy! 😳😉

[the-wonder-duo]

The villain Backlash and several of Backlash’s known accomplices have been spotted on the adjacent route between Yokocho street and Nakamise-daki.

We’ve received reports that Pro Hero Ground Zero is currently engaged in combat with this group of villains. Although we’ve not heard from Pro Hero Deku at this time, we’ve been told that Deku is on-site, as well, and that the two may have been attacked during an outing together. 

Citizens are asked to evacuate the area at this time, and any citizens that have plans to travel to the vacinity are asked to reschedule those arrangements at this time. 

In addition, we’ve been told that the Endeavor Hero Agency, Team Idaten, and the Up Dog Hero Office are responding to the scene. 

Updates on the situation are pending. 

[the-wonder-duo]

We at the Wonder Duo office are pleased to announce that Backlash and his accessories have been taken in custody. 

At this time, we’ve been told that Backlash himself and seven of his cohorts were apprehended by Pro Hero Ground Zero himself, and that three others were captured by backup that arrived only a few minutes after the initial report of Backlash’s sighting in the Yokocho shopping district. 

We’ve also obtained confirmation that Pro Hero Deku was not involved in the fight itself, choosing instead to ensure that those around him were brought to safety before returning to continue this task. 

No civilian or Pro Hero casualties have yet been substantiated, although we’ve received word that Pro Hero Ground Zero ended the fight between Backlash and himself with the well-known, arm uplifted stance that was popularized by the former number one hero, All Might. 

Although there appears to be a moderate injury taken to the arm in question, social media has been flooded with pictures depicting Ground Zero’s victorious pose. 

The Wonder Duo office thanks you all for your patience while waiting to receive updates regarding this matter. More information is to follow.

[solasdaite]

No!

[the-wonder-duo]

We do!

We’ll be reading to children at the Hosu Community Library on Saturday, the 11th, along with several other heroes. Most notably, the hero Gale— known most recently for his significant contributions towards aiding recovery efforts after the earthquake that rocked the East coast earlier this year —will be visiting the West. We’ll be fortunate to have him joining us. 

Other heroes that will be attendance include, but are not limited to, Celsius, Creati, Suneater, and Sensor Girl. 

Monetary donations to the library are not being requested at this time, but the library has asked for those who wish to attend this event to bring a children’s  book of their own as token of their admission. The collected books will be donated towards the children’s wing of the library, which has recently undergone expansion. 

More details are to follow. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Hah? 

That freak-eyed shithead’s touring France.

Y’know, I ought to be less surprised that you fucks don’t know this kinda crap already, considering the blatant ignorance you’ve all displayed towards other shit. 

[the-wonder-duo]

…Uh huh. 

[the-wonder-duo]

You’re not a fan. 

[the-wonder-duo]

So what you’re telling me is that Deku fans are butt ugly and you’re tryna console yourselves by claiming that it’s what on the inside that counts? 

Heh.

[the-wonder-duo]

I, er. 

Wouldn’t call them ugly, per say. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Kacchan…

Kacchan’s quite possibly the most enticing person I’ve ever laid eyes on. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Of course Kacchan isn’t ugly. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I think that Kacchan’s potty mouth is one of the most beautiful things about him. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I. 

Uh. 

Y’know that pinup from the Kamino Animal Refuge calendar? 

Deku hung the shot of me over his desk at work. 

Before we got together. 

[the-wonder-duo]

And here come the waterworks. 

[the-wonder-duo]

You guys are never going to let me forget that one, are you? 

[the-wonder-duo]

Hah? 

Deku ain’t some kind of pretty boy. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Objectively.

[the-wonder-duo]

Shaddup. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Y’know that crap that Deku spewed earlier, saying that I’m the most enticing person he’s ever laid eyes on? 

I feel the same way about him. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I find Kacchan the most attractive.

[the-wonder-duo]

Excuse you? 

[the-wonder-duo]

Of course!

I’m not saying that Kacchan isn’t rude, or abrasive, or blunt, or downright nasty at times. After he’d manifested his Quirk as a child, I’d always thought that he was a jerk myself, and while he’s matured over the years, he can still be a jerk sometimes, as can we all, but— 

There are times when these parts of his personality aren’t inherently dislikable, and even then, Kacchan is so much more than the sum of his parts. 

[the-wonder-duo]

He’s the best. 

Period. 

[solasdaite]

You two are so sweet.

[the-wonder-duo]

I think I’m blushing brighter red than Midoriya-San does…

@exoticjizz hush you, I’m no hero.

[exoticjizz]

Mel, you save lives as often, if not more, as Pro Heroes. Don’t sell yourself short. Just because you’re not licensed as a hero, doesn’t mean you aren’t one. @solasdaite

[solasdaite]

.... Luciel, I don’t know what I would do without you. @exoticjizz

I’m on vacation. Please tell me you’re free to come see me?

[solasdaite]

If you’re claiming fans I’m kinda curious where I fall. 😂

[the-wonder-duo]

S’not much of a change.

More drills, more patrols, more babysitting. 

[the-wonder-duo]

If you’re asking about his condition, then he’s doing fine. 

And if you’re not, I’d tell you to read the title of this blog again. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I, uh. 

I think I may have had something to do with that. 

[the-wonder-duo]

I’ve had a lot of time over the past few days to think about the repercussions of my actions as of late. 

Although I can’t bring myself to truly regret certain courses that I took— the decisions that I made when Kacchan was being unjustly carted off to solitary confinement in such dangerous circumstances, for one —I know that my conduct has impacted those around me for the worst. 

I’ve shaken the faith that the public has in me as a symbol of hope; I’m meant to uphold a higher standard, and I’ve failed you all. 

I made my mom cry. 

I’ve never seen my friends more concerned. 

And Kacchan… Kacchan’s been through so much. 

I can’t bear to be the one that hurts him again. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Deku has nightmares. 

Even his dreams’re… interesting. 

[solasdaite]

And no one has a right to judge. 

Honestly, it’s their relationship and their decisions. Everyone else needs to fuck off.

And no one tells Zero what to do. Not even the doctor who wanted to look at his wounds. 😒

[the-wonder-duo]

Good morning, everyone.

At this time, I would like to take a moment to publically apologize for my performance yesterday. 

That’s… all I have to say right now. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Kacchan did not hospitalize me, and rumors reporting otherwise are absurd. 

My injuries were not severe. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Contrary to your apparent belief otherwise, every ounce of medicinal knowledge does not, in fact, drain out of a doctor’s body once they’ve stepped foot out of the hospital in which they’re employed. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Stop. 

I hurled myself at him. Pinned him against a wall. 

I was trying to break his focus. 

The “attack” that he’d been lining up would’ve had disastrous consequences. 

For him. And for everyone around him. 

I can’t tell you all the whole story. I can’t even fully tell you why that is. 

But I couldn’t just watch it happen. 

[the-wonder-duo]

…Yeah. 

His safety. 

[solasdaite]

Stop attacking Ground Zero.

I can tell you- as I did treat Pro Hero Deku- that his injuries were not the result of abuse. I’ve been trained to specialize in Pro Heroes, I know what injuries from battle look like. 

Just stop being led by this mob mentality. 

Zero wouldn’t hurt Deku. He did what he did because he had to. That’s what heroes do. 

And… I believe he really did do it for the safety of everyone involved. I… can’t explain why. I just know that Zero did what was best. 

[the-wonder-duo]

Thanks. 

For everything. 

[the-wonder-duo]

It means, for all intents and purposes, that Deku ain’t a Pro right now. 

[the-wonder-duo]

What was I supposed to do? 

Stay on the sidelines while the man that hurt Kacchan— the man that cleaved the arms off of Kacchan’s body, the man that skinned one of our colleagues alive —finally came out into the open? 

Was I supposed to stand aside while Kacchan fought against him for the first time since that man almost destroyed the life that he’d known? That he’d worked to hard to earn for himself? 

You have no idea how hard Kacchan took that. You have no idea how hard it was to see how incredibly lifeless Kacchan was after he’d pulled himself out of those sewers. And that’s just Kacchan— Backlash has impacted so many more lives for the worst. 

Was I to do nothing while accumulation in LiveWire’s body potentially threatened to electrocute who knows how many people with the sheer force of so much energy that’d been building in his body? 

[the-wonder-duo]

Maybe it started off being about me— being about all of us, I guess, but by the time you had Backlash in your sights, Deku, you were… the look on your face was something else. 

Never seen you look at someone like that before. 

I didn’t like it. 

Some shithead jumping into battle ‘cause he’s driven by— what? Hatred? Revenge? 

A vendetta? 

That ain’t you. 

[solasdaite]

I know you’re angry. And that you’re hurting.

I’m not saying you didn’t have reasons to do what you did. They’re not bad ones- I know how much you love him.

I know what it's like to want to save someone. I do. It's my job to save lives.

I know what it is to want to save someone you care about too. I watched my father lose my mother and there was nothing anyone could do. And I poured everything I had into keeping you alive. Not just because it’s my job, but because I care.

I'm not even mad that you could've thrown that away today. That the sacrifice I made could’ve been in vain.

You're not the first hero to jump back in before they were ready. I know how badly you want to- no, need- to help.

But Midoriya-san... I've watched too many heroes I've treated die by doing what you're doing. By doing what you did. Because they thought they'd be fine, that they were needed. And when you add emotion in, it can be deadly.

Please... There are people who can't lose you. People who would be devastated at your death.

I know you wanted to be there for him. But please, just remember that.
