I didn't know about it before. [There's a short pause between this and the next text. Being vulnerable can be difficult, but it's fine with Midoriya. He wouldn't make fun of him for saying something so honest.] You're my friend, Midoriya. I wish you took your well being into account more often.
[It takes Izuku way longer to reply to Todoroki than it should, if only because that kind of honesty deserves honesty in return. Izuku knows Todoroki; that must have taken him some effort to write.]
I guess I never really considered what other people might think, since this isn't as serious as breaking my bones like I did before. Especially friends, because I didn't really have any before you, Iida-kun, and Uraraka-san.
[Bakugou would have counted once, but that's a place they've yet to make their way back to since everyone's quirks manifested.]
If it's important to you, then I will do my best to make sure I sleep more!
[Sometimes it still hits him out of nowhere, that he has people who actually care about his well being now. This is one of those times.]
[It takes Shouto too long to write the reply. He's just staring at one of those setences and having a hard to reconciling it with the Midoriya he knows. He's kind, he's stubborn, he's self-sacrificing to the point of self-detriment. He's one of the smartest people Shouto's ever met.
Who wouldn't want to be friends with somebody like that?
His response is short because it's easier that way. Hopefully the answer comes faster.]
What? How?
It is. Thank you, Midoriya. Keep taking care of yourself. I don't know what'll happen if you get sick here. We don't have a lot of options for medicine.
It's okay. I have you and everyone in our class now.
We could ask her! If anything, making an emergency stash of medicine could be a good idea. We just have to make sure we're not making Yaoyorozu-san overwork herself.
Yup. So far it sounds like only our world calls them quirks.

Dear god.]
How are you a functioning human being. You're still growing, Midoriya. You should be sleeping more than that.

Aw, don't worry, Todoroki-kun! I don't do this all the time!

I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was upsetting you. I promise I'll try to be better about it.

That's true. It would've been worth checking the stores around here for medicine, but it's all probably expired at this point.
no subject
We can't read the labels on things either.
no subject
[Or in the years before that...]
Yeah. Eating any kind of medicine without labels to check sounds really dangerous. We should ask if anyone has a healing power of some kind.
no subject
I don't know how much Yaoyorozu knows about medicine compounds. That's probably our best bet. Did you meet people who didn't call them quirks too?
no subject

Yup. So far it sounds like only our world calls them quirks.
no subject
She's very smart. If anybody in our class knew about those chemical compounds I think it'd be her.
It's weird, right? It's hard switching to calling them powers.
no subject
It is, but I don't think people mind if we call them quirks as long as we explain what we mean!
no subject
no subject
That makes a lot of sense! I guess I don't mind because I like explaining how everything works, too.

I'm not exactly an expert, but if they have questions, I'd be happy to answer them if I can.

Now go take a nap.
no subject
You'll let me know if you or the others need anything, right?
no subject
[Not on purpose.]
no subject
I should be around town again in a few hours. I'll see you then!
