It has been a whole week ever since the incident and Izuku was doing better. The gash on his leg turned into a white and pink scar, his cuts were all healed along with his bruises, and his shoulder was finally almost done healing. The bad news was that his shoulder was always going to have problems. It wouldn't bend all the way in certain directions and there was nothing the doctors could do to fix that. Izuku already knew that something was going to happen to his shoulder and he was thankful that it wasn't paralyzed or that it wasn't removed. Sure he was bummed about how he has limits to his body, but he took it the best possible way. Physically, the boy was ok. Emotionally, he was a wreck. Everyday a nurse would come in twice a day to let him know that Katsuki was waiting for him in the lobby or waiting room, and everytime he always declined his visitation and only allowed Uraraka and Shoto to come see him. They were always super nice to him and brought him decent food since the hospital food was getting gross considering he ate the same three meals everyday. However, every time they visited, he always looked towards the door to see if the blonde was there with them. He knew he always denied his request but he always did it. On one side, he wanted Katsuki out of his sight and out of mind. He hated being lied to, to be kept in the dark. He wanted to yell at him, punch him, do anything to show his anger. On the other hand... he wanted to embrace the Katsuki and stay in his arms and stay there without saying anything, knowing that whatever comes out of either of their mouths could be heartbreak and make them fall apart.
Izuku sighed, getting up to walk towards the window. He opened it with his good hand and leaned out of it. As soon as his head stuck outside of the window, he saw the same view he saw every morning. The sun was rising, making both colors of orange and dark blue mix with each other with the clouds hovering above the tall buildings seen in the distance. Birds chirped happily in the trees while others flew above in the morning sky. He loved this view but his favorite part was when a certain car pulled up in the parking lot. Just on cue a loud door slammed shut making the greenette look down towards the noise, and there he was. A blond head of hair making his way inside the hospital doors. Izuku smiled a bit. Being able to see Katsuki come every morning and leave every night, made Izuku's heart swell in joy. It let him know that the blond truly cared for him while Izuku gave him the cold shoulder. Just as he was about to stick his head back inside, he noticed the blonde was stomping his way inside the hospital doors. Izuku tilted his head and simply watched the small body make its way towards the entrance. He moved on the second floor of the hospital where they take people in recovery, so he could see pretty clearly. Once the blonde disappeared inside the building, Izuku continued to pull his head all the way back inside, and closed the window. He made his way back to his bed and pulled the tray of breakfast food in front of him. The door opened slowly revealing the same tall male nurse that has been taking care of him for the past few days ever since he switched rooms.
"I have excellent news for you!" he said while placing his clipboard down.
Izuku looked in his direction while taking a spoonful of pudding, nodding his head for him to continue.
"You will be discharged in the evening. We will do a couple more tests, give you some instructions and medication, and then you can be on your merry way!" the man exclaimed.
Izuku beamed at the news. Finally something good!. He quickly swallowed his food and allowed the guy to do his thing. After about twenty minutes of Izuku getting checked up on, the nurse walked away allowing Izuku to get dressed. It was a bit hard to do since he could only use one arm to get clothes on but in ten minutes he was done. He wore some dark blue jeans, a long sleeve black turtleneck sweater, and his red shoes. The clothes were a bit big on him since they were not his, but he didn't mind. He was actually comfortable even though only one arm was in the sleeve while the other was under his shirt. His shoulder wasn't healed so he couldn't take off the cloth supporting his arm. It was still early and the sun just finished to rise all the way up, making the sky a light blue. He looked at the clock to see that it was 8:30 in the morning. He sighed and placed himself back on the bed and scrolled through his feed, slowly falling back asleep.
"Mr. Midoriya?" some called.
Izuku opened his tired eyes to see the same nurse from before, and smiled.
"Yes?" He said as he stretched a bit while getting up.
"Here. The instructions on how many to take are on the bottle and if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or visit the hospital again." he said standing up straight and handing Izuku a pill bottle.
Izuku took it tiredly and put it in his pocket. Izuku was then instructed that he was allowed to leave the hospital at any time. The greenette thanked him and waved goodbye as he left the room making his way towards the waiting room. Upon reaching the door however, he hesitated. He remembered Katsuki coming in quite angrily this morning and he was definitely not ready to confront him right now. He looked out the small windows of the door and peeked outside. He looked around the room to see if he could spot a familiar head of hair. Upon searching for a few minutes, he finally opened the door and hurriedly made his way to the desk, checked himself out, and then left. Upon doing this, he didn't see Katsuki at all which confused him a bit but was relieved once he reached out the hospital doors and not seeing Katsuki.
Just as Izuku exited the building, Katsuki popped out of the bathroom with a loud groan.
"God I felt like my bladder was going to explode!" he rasped to himself as he stretched his arms out. He made his way to the couch chair where he sat every day, and basically slammed himself onto it. He shifted in a more comfortable position before looking down at his phone.
"8:45 that means fifteen more minutes till I can ask... " he looked down on his phone while deciding to pass time while scrolling on some pictures of he and Izuku when they spent time together. Every swipe of his finger, showed a picture of Izuku. Whether it was sleeping, watching a movie, cooking, or just smiling at the camera. Of course the greenette got mad when he found out there were pictures of him sleeping, since he was never aware of them but always pouted when he heard a click of a camera when he was doing anything else. Katski smiled sadly at all of the pictures. After a while he looked at the time and read 9:04.
"Finally" he grumbled while standing from his seat and stretching.
He knew the answer already to his question but he wasn't going to give up. He always kept little hope inside him before asking if he was allowed to see him, but that hope shattered every time he got the same answer. He hated not being able to be told no and the worst part is, he always lost when it came to Izuku.
He sighed loudly and just looked at the lady in the front desk "Izuku Midoriya?" he asked, adjusting his posture upon saying his name. The lady in the front desk checked her computer for a minute before keeping a confused look on her face when looking at Katsuki.
"Izuku Midoriya was discharged 20 minutes ago." She said.
Katsukis eyes stared at the lady in disbelief "you're lying" he stated. He thought that the greenette told the nurse to tell him this so he could leave but there's no way he actually left.
"I'm sorry but he's no longer in the hospital" She said going back to look through her files then looking at the blonde again "Says here that he checked out at 8:43AM. I can't say anything more regarding his health but... he left sir" she said unsure of what would happen. Katsuki didn't say anything and quickly turned around and slammed the hospital doors open making his way to his car.
"Fucking nerd. I'm not letting you leave again" he mumbled to himself.
He got inside his car and the first place he went to was his own house. He looked everywhere for any signs of life but only saw Miss following him around. Katsuki was basically running around the place yelling his name while checking Izuku's room if he took anything with him. Surprisingly everything was the way he left it. He made his way back downstairs, into his car and drove all the way back to the city towards Izuku's apartment building. Upon arriving at the building, he parked his car quickly and made his way inside.
"Hello how may I- Oh! Mr. Bakugou! Pleasure to see you!" the lady at the front desk said cheerfully. Katsuki looked her direction and made his way over to her with a pissed expression making the lady worry a bit.
"Izuku Midoryia" he simply stated.
The lady frowned a bit "you just missed him"
Katsuki looked at her before huffing loudly and slamming his hands on the marble counter.
"DAMNIT!" he pushed himself off the counter and slammed the front doors open again leaving the lady behind in surprise. He hopped in his car again and began driving around the city to different locations to see if he could spot Izuku anywhere in the streets. It was getting very late and Katsuki had not stopped to take a break besides to add gasoline to his car. He has gone to go eat, he hasn't contacted anyone, he hasn't gone to the bathroom, nothing. He sat in his car driving his car in panic. He was constantly checking the news and turned on the radio in case there was a villain attack and it was directed to Izuku. Katsuki was scared. He was scared that Izuku was lost, hurt, killed, or if he ran away somewhere else to escape from him. At this point he didn't care that Izuku left him for good, he was more worried about what happened to him. The sun started to set and there was still no sign of Izuku. Katsuki stopped and parked in an empty parking space near a row of shops and restaurants. He let his head fall on the wheel and made it honk briefly before it stopped. Katsuki kept his head in place making a couple tears fall on his lap.
"I can't lose you again..." he whispered.
"Then explain yourself" a voice beside him said.
Katsuki jumped up, startled by the sudden intrusion before looking to his left. His window was down and his eyes were staring right back at a pair of green ones.
"I-izuku?"
