You and Bakugo were sent to fight a villain in a local town by your Agency. Bakugo led the attack and capture, and you trusted Bakugo completely. But when the villain predicted his attack, and snuck up on you, you were forced to act spontaneously. Although the villain was defeated and arrested, you got hurt. By the time you got to U.A., you were quickly rushed into the medical wing.

Meanwhile, he was completely unscathed. Not a single scratch or bruise. You had taken most of the hits, protecting him. But he was supposed to protect you not the other way around. And here he is waiting while you’re being treated in the infirmary. That should be me, not her He thinks to himself as he makes his way to the gym, clenching his fists in stress, anxiety, and guilt. How did I let this happen He blames himself as his fists collide with the punching bag again and again. He feels pain start to gnaw at his skin but ignores it as he jabs again, again, and again at the bag. Blood began to drip onto the black bag and floor as he grit his teeth and threw another strike.

Unbeknownst to Bakugo, You had been released from the infirmary and had come to find him. You pause in the doorway of the gym, your heart throbbing as you watch him self destruct with guilt.
