Episode 2 : Deku has a Sprained Ankle...

"Can you walk?" Todoroki asked him, holding his hand out to a rather... disabled Midoriya. A little while ago, the green-haired boy landed on the floor and immediately let out a groan as held his leg. He was having a blast™ with a familiar spiky-haired boy, training as if they were trying to kill each other in the end. Fortunately, a sprained ankle was all it got to--for now.

"I think I'm fine-" Midoriya took the hand and pulled himself up, a bit teary-eyed at the moment-"Todoroki-kun."

When he stepped his injured foot onto the ground, he felt it sting a little--no--a lot. He then collapsed back onto the ground, landing with a thud.

"Midoriya!" Todoroki exclaimed, kneeling on the floor in front of him.

Damn, now it really hurt. Midoriya knew that he could not walk at all; but he's felt worse, maybe he could still go on?

"I can still go on," he said with determination. A sprained ankle was nothing compared to what he had been through.

"Are you sure?" Todoroki asked, concerned that his friend might be going a bit too far. It was just training anyways.

"No."

The two turned around, finding their teacher, Aizawa Sensei, glaring down at them. With crossed arms, he held the deadly glare at the two. They knew what to do without him even saying anything.

So without any hesitation, Todoroki slid his arms around Midoriya, minding his injured leg. He then carried him up and walked away from the training site, cradling the boy in his arms. The red and white-patterned boy was surprised at how light Midoriya was. On the other hand, the smaller one went from Determined Big Boy™ to Flustered Cinnamon Roll™. You couldn't blame him. It felt--as well as looked--odd to be carried around by someone just because of a hurt ankle. I mean, it was nice to know that one of his friends cared for him enough to bring him to the nurse, but to carry him to her? It felt like he was being babied all over again.

"T-Todoroki-kun?" he stuttered softly, hiding his face in the other boy's chest.

"Hm?" Todoroki looked at him and brought himself to a halt. He found the freckled boy's ears turn red and smiled.

"I appreciate what you're doing but could you please put me down?" Midoriya requested.

Todoroki started walking again. "I'm sorry but I can't."

The other boy looked at him. His look was a mix of confused, annoyed, and beseeching. "But why?"

"You're hurt," he answered plainly, his smile remaining.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Midoriya sighed, wrapping his arms around the larger boy's neck as he hid his face away. He had just remembered the time when he forgot to come by Todoroki's dorm after training and instead passed out on his bed. It was already dark outside when he finally remembered.

Todoroki chuckled softly. "Yeah."

"I said I was sorry," Midoriya pleaded.

"I know," the larger boy smiled. "I just like seeing you flustered like this, I guess."

"You guess?" the smaller boy exclaimed.

The two finally entered the building when they both fell silent. Apparently, the other classes had already finished when the boy got injured. So now, they were walking through halls filled with both younger and older students from different classes. People were staring and gossiping as they passed. This made Midoriya feel anxious to the point that his insides felt like they were having a pity party. Todoroki, on the other hand, walked through it like normal. To him, it was as if he was just carrying a bunch of files over to another teacher.

"We're here," the larger boy announced. Only then did he realize that the green-haired boy in his arms had already fainted out if shyness.

"What happened to him?" Recovery Girl exclaimed. Todoroki didn't even notice her appear.

"He fainted."
