137: 𝑃𝑖𝑧𝑧𝑎
A/N: I feel like it's been so long since an updateee (it's been five days)
Before he even got to her floor... She knew he was there.
Before he bolted down the halls she could hear him.
Before he burst through her door she could feel him.
Bakugou tore through the door and stopped, staring at Kira's bed. She was there, she was sitting up... She was okay.
"Katsuki-"
He ran to her bed and practically jumped on her. Wrapping his arms around her tightly. "Kira. Kira." He panted into her neck. "Damn it all Kira... You're awake." His voice was hoarse.
"Katsuki." She whispered back. Tears springing up in her eyes. She hugged him back, tighter than ever. She didn't think she could ever let go. Not again. Ever.
It took her a moment to come to her senses completely. She was so focused on the feeling of having him here she didn't notice... Him.
He was shaking.
Not just from relief or emotional overwhelm. But from exhaustion. He was still panting after a few minutes.
"Katsuki..." Kira pulled away grabbing his face. "Are you okay??" She asked.
He coughed. "Shut up... I'm fine."
"Shouldn't... I probably shouldn't have ran all the way here... My hearts beating super fast... It's fine... I'll be fine..."
"Oh my God Katsuki!" Kira's eyes widened. "What's wrong with you?!" She asked. Holding his head, she could feel his pulse thumping in his neck. He was sweating profusely and still panting.
"It's... Nothing... I'm just out of breath." He wheezed. "Maybe I should actually listen to my doctor... I might pass out."
"Lay down!" Kira said, grabbing him. "If you have a heart attack now I swear to God I'll kill you Katsuki!"
She looked around. There wasn't anyone else in the room. Her uncle had left briefly to tend to another matter, and Tammy was getting a brain scan so they could understand how her body worked now that she didn't have her quirk.
She pressed the call button. "Y-you need a doctor!" She sounded frantic, scared. Bakugou grabbed and held her hands carefully, seeing the tears springing up in her eyes.
"It's alright Kira. I'm okay." Bakugou assured her. Letting go of her hands and hugging her tightly.
"Y-your heart-" She whimpered. Hugging him again. "Your heart... I-I- saw..."
"I'm so sorry Kira. I'm so sorry you had to see that." Bakugou whispered. He had been hoping... That Kira would wake up without memory of what happened just before he died. He had hoped she wouldn't have to remember what happened to him.
"Don't ever do anything like that again." She sobbed. Holding him tightly and crying harder now. "Anything at all... Don't kill yourself, d-dont hurt yourself... Please..."
"Okay I'm sorry." Bakugou whispered. Laying on his back with Kira laying on top of him. Like she was trying to make sure he doesn't get up. He rubbed her back comfortingly. "As long as you don't either..."
"I won't I promise." Kira hugged him tightly and buried her head in his chest. "I promise..."
They laid there, holding each other in silence. Until the doctor Kira called arrived.

Recovery for Kira was fairly quick, considering the fact that she literally died. She had some minor damage to her brain and nervous system. Because of the sudden energy she held when she first stole all for one.
Her body was just a little slower, her brain muddled. Reflexes dulled. There were worse injuries from the whole fight.
A few nights after she woke up and everyone thought she was doing fine she suffered from a random seizure. Similar to the one she had before she died. The doctors decided to keep her longer to monitor it and give her medications.
The worst effect, in her opinion were her damn legs.
According to the doctors it was very likely Kira would be able to walk like normal in no time. But her legs were still... Numb.
She had lost her original pair, the new ones were created in the battle. Completely reformed by corpse and her super regeneration quirks. Without corpse they were different... Harder for Kira to control on her own.
Though she could move them, with a little physical therapy. She'd just need way more in order to walk, or run, or fight.
But that was okay... The world wouldn't need her to fight again for a long time. Apparently there was peace now. No new villains. All of the jailbreakers had been rounded up and the league was history.
Everything was going to be okay.
When it came to recovery... Tammy was handling it worse then Kira was... In a way.
Going from completely numb and literally dead to being completely alive wasn't easy for anyone. And Tammy had been dead for almost four years.
"I'm dying." Tammy whined, holding her stomach.
"You're not dying you're just hungry." Shinsou argued, sitting in front of her on her bed. With Kira in physical therapy and Bakugou staying at home they were the only ones there. "Eat."
"I don't want to..." Tammy looked at the plate of food In front of her with disgust.
The girl was used to being able to just... Not eat. It wasn't necessary so she often didn't do it. Now it was necessary.
As far as Kira could tell, the girl had accidentally given herself some serious eating disorders. Or at least an aversion to eating.
"I don't care." Shinsou responded. Pushing the food closer. "Eat something. Anything. I'll go and get you food if you want. Just tell me what you want to eat." Her boyfriend said with a frown.
She stared at him for a few seconds.
Then promptly burst into tears.
Another problem she's been having was emotional regulation. Corpse had the effect of numbing everything, including hormones and emotions. Meaning Tammy barely felt anything the entire time her quirk was keeping her alive.
"Hey no stop!" Shinsou said in panic. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to push but-"
"I l-love you!" She sobbed, hugging him like her life depended on it. "I like how you care about me." She sniffled.
Around most people Tammy was still her usual stoic self. Most of the time at least. But she felt anger and sadness and love stronger than she ever had. She was like a teen girl on her first period or a pregnant woman. Her body didn't know how to process her hormones correctly. Not yet at least. But the doctors had her going to therapy regularly, both physical and mental.
Shinsou hugged her. His face bright red as he buried it in her hair. "Yeah I know... I love you too... I want you to get better okay? What do you want to eat?"
"I don't knoww." She cried.
"I got pizza." Kira said, the nurse pushed open the door and Kira wheeled herself in. She used a wheelchair around the hospital, especially after physical therapy. Since they didn't want to risk exhausting her.
"Hey hotwheels." Shinsou said. Without much emotion. "We were having a moment... But Pizza is good. Maybe she'll eat that..."
"I can't stop cryingggg why can't I stop crying?! At least it's just Kira... Anyone else would have been totally embarrassing... I'm such a baby... That kinda smells good through... The thought of eating makes me sick..."
With corpse gone Kira could actually read Tammy's mind. It was no longer as silent as the grave. Originally Kira couldn't because 'she can't read the dead' but obviously that doesn't apply to Tammy anymore.
Something about the way her brain functioned was now completely different. Giving off waves just like most other people, it was both cool and weird to actually be able to hear the girl. But Kira was... Glad for it.
"Hey Kira." Tammy pulled away from Shinsou and wiped her eyes. "She's back from therapy or whatever... Still in the chair though..."
"Can you walk yet?" Shinsou asked her. Taking the pizza box off her lap and putting it on a table.
"No... Not on my own at least. But I can stand up. Which is progress." Kira noted. "I can feel them a little more now."
She looked down at her legs. She was wearing shorts and a t shirt from the dorms. It was weird to look at them... They didn't look like... Hers. They looked foreign. Unfamiliar.
Kira's old legs had blemishes and scars. These didn't. They were like new.
Even the scar over her knee was gone. The one in the shape of her cousin's hand, that Shigaraki gave her so long ago.
It was weird.
She looked back up when the door opened, still sitting in her chair.
"Stop getting food without me!!" Bakugou grumbled. Throwing off his jacket.
"Hey KitKat." Kira greeted. "I got pizza. Supreme your favorite."
"I fucking see that." Bakugou grumbled. Without warning he picked her up and almost tossed her onto her bed. The action seemed rough and joking. But in reality he did it because he knew she'd struggle to get on herself. "How'd you get that shit anyways?"
"My uncle brought it." Kira shrugged. "He's talking to the doctor now. Also you're not supposed to lift anything over twenty five pounds."
"I'm not weak!" Bakugou snapped. Plopping on her bed.
"Just stupid apparently." Shinsou observed. "Try not to have a heart attack infront of my pizza."
"That's barely a pizza. It's just cheese you fucking pussy." Bakugou glared.
"I like my pizza to taste good."
"It does fucking taste good!!" Bakugou scoffed. "Eat vegetables. You have the food palette of a fucking toddler."
Kira giggled and watched, sharing a look with Tammy that said 'here we go again'. The two boys relentlessly teased each other, but it was always lighthearted. Kira knew it was just how they showed the friendship they had. Now that both of their girls were okay they were still close...
Kira was glad, that Bakugou made his own friend.
