I don't own Boku no Hero academia/My Hero academia. I do however own a clipboard.

"So Endeavor, that flame mask of yours is it present all the time?" I asked the Pro Hero in front of me.
"No, only when I do hero work." Endeavor said.
"Alright, Alright" I mumbled and scribbled some notes down on the little clipboard.
"Your flame attacks, how many of them emit bright light?" I asked.
"Well, they all emit light, obviously. But I will say about half of my attacks include bright light. Also, why do you always bring up my eyesight? It's a waste of time. I have told you that already" Endeavor said bitterly.
'Wow, you sure are salty today Todoroki. But then again when are you not salty? I mean you are salty every time I meet you. Like calm down your saltiness is enough to outmatch the Atlantic Ocean.' I thought as scribbled away on the clipboard.
We continued the little questioning session for about 5 more minutes and Endeavor only got more bitter as time progressed. Leaving me extremely uncomfortable.
Looking down at the notes I had taken throughout the questioning session I came to the conclusion that his "poor" eyesight was caused by the constant exposure to the bright light his flames emit. Which is kind of a problem considering that it's part of his hero suit.
"Hmm" I sighed as I thought of the different outcomes of the situation.
"What is it?" Endeavor spat.
"Well, to put it simply your quirk is causing your eyes damage." I stated bluntly.
"Excuse me?" Endeavor said with a pointy tone.
"The light from your flames is causing damage to your eyes. I have observed your eyesight since you started coming here which is quite a long time. Your eyesight has dropped by 5% since I began working with you. That is-" I was interrupted sentence by endeavour.
"5% is nothing big. I'm doing fine" He grumbled.
I just raised my brows at him and gave him a disapproving look.
"You may not think it's a big thing, but I can assure you that it is quite concerning. Especially considering that you are exposed to that bright light almost every day. At this rate, if you keep brushing it off and refuse to listen to me you are going to end up completely blind." I told him.
Endeavor became very quiet after I said that. He just stared at me. My guess is that he was finally letting the reality of the situation sink in.
"Become blind?" He muttered in disbelief.
"Yes, but only if you don't do anything about it and that is where I come in. Helping people with these types of things is my job after all." I said while reading over my notes yet again.
"But why will I become blind?" He asked concern finally dropping his rude tone.
I Looked up from my papers and made eye contact with him.
"As I said before Todoroki. Your flames are the reason. But if you wish for a more in-depth explanation, I can give that too." I said.
Endeavor just nodded his head letting me know he wanted a more in-depth explanation.
"Right, so what is happening here is your Retina taking damage from the light of your flame. The Retina is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It covers about 65% of the back of your eye. Retina's function is to convert the light the lens of your eye receives into neural signals and then transmit them to the brain for visual recognition." I said while placing the clipboard on the desk beside me.
"Now retinal damage is not uncommon. It's actually one of the most common ailments to the eye. Damage to the Retina can be caused by old age, trauma or in your case light damage. However serious damage of the Retina can end up causing blindness." I continued to explain.
"Since you constantly expose your eyes to very bright lights, especially with that mask of yours, it is to be expected that there would be some damage to your Retina. But I honestly did not expect that amount of damage. Prominence burn is probably the attack that causes the most damage to your eyes." I said while crossing my legs.
"Tell me Endeavor do you use any type of protection for your eyes?" I asked clasping my hands together.
"No, I suppose I don't." The pro Hero responded.
"Ah, that would explain it." I hummed.
"Explain what?" Endeavor asked.
"Why your eyes seem to suffer more damage than other heroes with flame quirks." I said getting up from the chair I was sitting on.
I squatted down in front of a bunch of drawers trying to find the right one. All the drawers had different labels indicating what was in them. After a bit of looking, I finally found the drawer I was looking for. I opened the drawer up and snatched one of the many small boxes that were stored inside it. I closed the drawer before standing up and walking back to my chair.
Endeavor only watched as I placed the tiny box on the desk. I sat down at the office chair again and looked at the Pro Hero in front of me.
"This should do the trick." I said with a small smile.
"And what is that exactly" Endeavor questioned.
"Contact lenses. Contact lenses specially developed to protect the eyes of people with fire quirks. Don't ask me how they work because that is not my department." I responded.
"Alright, so what do you do with them?" The flame hero asked me
"You plop them in your eyes before you go to work and then when you are done with the day you take them out and throw them in the garbage bin. The next day you plop in a new pair of contacts and repeat what you did the day before." I explained.
"And they are going to fix my problems?" Endeavor said with his usual rude tone.
'And we are back to the salty Endeavor, lovely.' I thought as I started the computer on the desk.
"They will fix some of your problems. These are the standard contact lenses; you might need some stronger lenses though. Be sure to contact whoever makes support gear for you since this technically falls under support gear after as it's literal protection." I sighed while typing away on the computer.
I opened the file titled Todoroki Enji and opened a sheet I was supposed to fill out every time I performed a check-up on a patient. I also needed to type in the name of the contacts into his medical file.
"What about the damage that's already there? It sounds like the contact lenses only prevent future damage." Endeavor stated.
"That is true. I can only fix the damage your eyes suffered recently. But I would suggest that you contact an ophthalmologist for further treatment. Ophthalmologist is just a fancy word for a doctor who specializes in eyes. They will probably also be able to give more insight into what is happening." I said while focusing on the screen in front of me.
"Would you like me to fix the damage I can do something about, or would you rather save the whole thing for the ophthalmologist?" I asked looking at Endeavour.
Endeavor did not say anything. He just stared at me probably thinking about whether he should say yes or no. You would think a person would immediately say yes to get an injury fixed even if it is just some of it. But it is not uncommon for a person to wait to get it all fixed in one go. It is mostly Pro Heroes that wait and get everything fixed together. Why that is, is one of the universes many questions.
"Might as well do it." Endeavor grumbled.
"Alright, I will have to touch your face to do so. Is that okay with you?" I asked.
Even though he already said yes, I wanted to make sure it was okay for me to touch him. I always do that. Well almost always. If the situation is something life-threatening, I will use my quirk immediately. If it is not anything super serious, I will always ask my patient for permission to touch them with my quirk in use.
"Yes, just get over with it." Endeavor spat.
"Okay then... I will need you to close your eyes for me. Also, it is going to sting. You have been warned. If it becomes too much you just need to say stop and I will stop." I Informed the man in front of me.
He did not say anything and just closed his eyes. I used my legs to roll the office chair closer to the Pro Hero. I placed both of my hands on the side of Endeavor's face, so my thumbs would be over his eyes.
"I'm going to start the procedure now and again you just need to say stop if it gets too uncomfortable." I said and placed my thumbs on the man's closed eyes.
I pressed my thumbs ever so lightly on Endeavors closed eyes and focused on absorbing the damage. A small tingling sensation travelled through my hands as I activated my quirk.
Endeavor scrunched his nose up as we got a bit further into the treament5. I almost giggled and the faces he made. There was just something so unbelievably funny about it. I have no idea why I found it funny, but I did, nonetheless. I guess it is just the idea of seeing the Nr 2 Pro Hero scrunching his nose up like a little bunny. An image of a bunny version of Endeavor flashed through my mind. I nearly wheezed at the image.
'No, no. Focus (y/n), you got a patient to treat. Now is not the time to imagine Endeavor as a tiny fluffy bunny.' I mentally slapped myself for getting distracted while treating a patient.
"All done." I exhaled and removed my thumbs.
Endeavor opened his eyes and blinked a few times.
"So, you have fixed the damage?" He asked looking at me.
"I have fixed the damage that I could fix. Again, you should contact an ophthalmologist for further examination since this is not exactly my field." I responded while rolling back to my place in front of the computer.
I started typing away filling out a formula about the use of quirk to heal injuries. It still amazes me to this day how many things I need to fill out and write down every time I do, well anything.
"I can write you a referral and-" Endeavor interrupted me before I could finish my sentence.
"I won't need that. I will find someone myself. Someone that I deem good enough." He said using a sharp tone yet again.
"Okay..." I trailed off.
'He makes it sound like I was going to send him to a complete maniac of a doctor. I will admit that it's kind of tempting to do so with the way he acts. But I am a good person, most of the time, or something and would therefore never do anything like that.' I thought.
I opened one of the drawers in the desk I was sitting at and picked out a notepad. I then proceeded to scribble down a few things. Considering my occupation, I actually have readable handwriting, big surprise I know. I will admit that it took a lot of practice to get to a point where you could consider my scribbles words. But I got there eventually.
"Here you go. It's the name of the contact lenses and a few suggestions for ophthalmologists. I know you said you wanted to find an ophthalmologist yourself, but I wrote them down just in case." I said while handing Endeavor the paper slip. He almost ripped the little piece of paper out of my hand.
"Alright, that was it right?" He grumbled.
"Yes, that concludes your checkup. You are free to go." I beamed.
Not going to lie getting Endeavor out the door is one of the most relieving things. He just has this atmosphere around him that makes things gloomy. He makes you feel like you are walking on ice and could crash through the surface at any given moment.
Endeavor got up from the chair and walked towards the door. I got up as well and towards the door as well.
"That was all for today. Goodbye and have a good day." I said as Endeavor got out the door. He did not even spare me a glance and just walked down the halls of the hospital.
"Rude. You could at least say goodbye." I mumbled under my breath.
I looked around in the hallway. A bunch of Pro Hero was sitting at the chairs in the hall probably waiting for their turn. I should probably get started on my next patient. I walked back into the room and said: "Next Patient."
"Yo Dr Listener her for my checkup!" A familiar voice said.

A/N
I had to research a bunch of stuff for this chapter.
I will however say that there are probably some incorrect things here and there.
So please don't kill me if any of the information is incorrect. I'm trying my best.
Edit: I even went back to recheck things. I am trying my very best. i spent a good 3 hours researching.
Anyway, water drink it.
