Just a little something from my fanfic I’m writing… :)
Izuku awoke with sporadic breathing and a numb face. He was in the infirmary… it was rare to be in such a place when Overhaul had always been there whenever he’d been hurt. He wasn’t in pain however, but that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Izuku touched the right side of his face, feeling his warm face… but it was completely numb.
He started breathing deeply, trying to calm himself down. Breathing in, one two, out one two, in one two three, out one two three. He tried counting his breaths up to ten, and slowly felt the panic ooze away into the back of his mind. Now that he was calm, he could think about the situation objectively.
Izuku looked around the room, spotting Setsuno sitting across from him. He was just staring. His eyes wore a look of guilt, as if he’d done something wrong. Izuku couldn’t make sense of that since Setsuno had played right into his hands. If anyone realized that, Izuku would be in trouble, not him. Yet, the look on his face said otherwise… Maybe Setsuno took the blame?
Izuku tried to speak, but it was more difficult than usual. His words sounded like they were punched together with staples, “What’s wrong?”
Setsuno opened his mouth, then shut it and swallowed the saliva in his throat. He began to speak with a worried tone in his voice, “I went too far this time.”
