? Benevolence ?

I woke up to pale sunlight shining through the windows, still on the couch. A light throb echoed through my head as I groggily sat up.

Yesterday's fights were a little spotty in my memory but I distinctly remember the flash of pain from Iida's kick. I stretched lightly before checking my phone to see 2 messages from Kirishima.

Moments after receiving the text, a knock echoed through my house. I opened the door to see Kirishima and Kaminari grinning brightly.

"Hey [L/n]! Ya ready?"

I laughed lightly, gesturing for them to come inside. "I just woke up, let me change real fast."

As the two boys bounded in, Kirishima began apologizing. "Sorry! We were heading to the mall and your place is on the way so we wanted to invite you."

I smiled reassuringly, "It's really fine. I'll be right back, sit tight."

Leaving the two teens in the living room, I dashed into my room to change.

In a clean set of clothes, I came back to the living room to see my two friends looking through one of the many medical books scattered around the apartment.

Kirishima looked up as I walked back into the room. "You've got a lot of first aid books. Still up for giving some lessons sometime?"

With a gentle smile, I ran a hand through my hair. "Yeah, definitely."

Kaminari bounced on the balls of his feet, "Do you know anything about first aid for injuries caused by electricity?"

I nodded, pointing to my room. "Yeah, I've got a book with a whole chapter for that kinda stuff."

His eyes gained a determined light, "Could you teach later? Just cause I could accidentally shock someone and I would at least wanna be able to do something..." He trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Of course, I can give you guys a few lessons when we get back if you want."

Both boys agreed enthusiastically before we set out for the mall.

The air was just chilly enough to be comfortable as we ambled down the sidewalk, my two companions rambling about various topics. I felt a soft smile creep onto my face as I watched Kaminari gesturing wildly, trying to prove a point.

"Come on! It's so accurate though!" The energetic blonde turned to me, desperation in his eyes. "[L/n]! You know whats up! Doesn't Bakugou seem like a chihuahua?"

I laughed loudly, "I don't know, man. Maybe more of a pomeranian?"

Kirishima crossed his arms and chuckled. "Why do you both go for small dogs? He's not even short!" He tossed his hands up exasperated.
