Todoroki's POV

Our walk is stiff and silent. Several nurses raise their guard when we walk by as if they think Bakugo is an anger management patient that could lash out at any given moment. Once we reach (y/n)'s hospital room though, Bakugo decides to say something.

"They didn't ask for you to be brought here, but I thought it would be important for you to see this," he jerks his head in the direction of the door where a small clipboard hangs from a hook. "And in case you were wondering, they were worried 'bout you. If you feel the same, prepare yourself. I'm out."

With that, Bakugo stalks back towards the front entrance, leaving me to wonder at his cryptic words. (y/n) was worried about me. My face heats up in embarrassment as my mind recalls how I had acted upon my own worries. Have they been acting like this as well? I pick up the clipboard and skim through it.
