A Friendly Visit [Chise]

After Akio put down his game console he heard a knock on the door "Come in," he answered as he quickly wiped the tears from his eyes. In stepped Chise, the first friend he made at UA and the vice president of the cooking club, she said she hoped he didn't mind she dropped by and that she brought him a get well present "Chise, you came to visit me!" he said happily with a smile, glad that someone was here to talk with him "No, I don't mind at all, thank you for the present that's so sweet," he said as she held the tin out for him to see. She wasn't sure which she liked so she made some chocolate chip cookies "Ah I love chocolate chip cookies, thank you," he told her with a smile "These doctors still have me on bed rest so I've been stuck in this bed since I got here, Miku brought me some stuff from my dorm to keep me entertained but I wish I could get up and move around," he complained with a sigh, though it's no surprise he's still on bedrest, he almost died that night and still looked pretty banged up with his arm in a cast and sling, his face all bruised with some stitches on his brow and face. "Come sit down, there's a chair over there you can use," he said to her pointing at the chair in the corner of the room.

Chise said it was no trouble and that she thought it'd be a nice gesture to cheer him up, Akio nodded "It's definitely cheered me up, thanks," he said taking a cookie from the tin that Chise just opened up and took a bite "They're delicious," Akio said as he finished the cookie and wiped the crumbs from his mouth. She brought the chair over and sat down next to his bed, saying how nice it was for Miku to come visit him and bring some of his stuff to keep him occupied. She then asked if she was the only one who visited him and that his parents were surely worried "Yeah, she said G told her that I was in the hospital so she came to see me and my parents came down to visit as well, they were really worried but, I think I was able to put their minds at ease a little bit," Akio told her "Oh, G also came to visit me, he's actually the one who called the ambulance," he said as he ate another cookie. He could tell Chise wanted to say something to him but couldn't bring herself to do it "I'm sure you want to know why I'm in here, it's ok you can ask," he said with a comforting smile "I was attacked by a villain," he told her as his face became slightly more serious "I was on a run and heard someone screaming, I texted G and ran to the screaming and saw a woman beating the man screaming, I tried to stop her and she beat me up, G came and saved me when I was passed out," he told her "You don't need to worry though, the doctors said I'm going to be fine, I should be back at school within the next few weeks," he explained to her, trying to put her at ease

Chise said she believe she'd made better before but if he says they taste good she'll believe him, she then took a cookie herself and ate it "They're really good, so if you've made better those must be amazing," Akio said to her with a smile. She then said that at least he was there to help that man although he suffered the attack from the villain, she then said that Akio saved him and it seems like he's on his way to becoming a true hero, Akio shook his head "I'm nowhere near close to being a true hero Chise," he said getting serious again "I-I didn't save the man, she killed him before I could even get near them, I probably made things worse, that man died because of me," Akio said to her, his tears starting to form again "Not only did I not save the man, I almost got myself killed that night," he told her "I'm fine now but when I was first brought in, I was on the brink of death, how am I going to be a hero if I can't even save 1 man from some tiny woman," he said his head hanging in disappointment

Chise apologized to Akio and said that she never should have brought it up, Akio shook his head "No, it's fine, you didn't know," he said trying to reassure her that she didn't do anything wrong. She then told him that even if this was his first encounter with a villain that there will be more and even if he didn't save the man, he still got out alive and that there will be times when you can't save people but that just means you have to get stronger so that he can protect those he cares about, Akio looked at her and saw the expression on her face, it was the most serious he'd ever seen Chise She's right, the only thing beating myself up about it will do is slow my progression, I've got to use this as motivation to get stronger he thought to himself, he nodded his head "You're right, G said he'd take my training more seriously now, so I've gotta stop moping around and just get stronger, thanks Chise," he said to her with a smile "I wish I was healing faster so that I could train and get stronger quicker only being able to sit in this bed every day is the worst," he said to her as he rested his head against his pillow

Chise said it was good that G had decided to train him and that he's not such a bad guy once you get to know him "Yeah, he's a good guy, although I don't know how much he likes me after he caught me kissing Miku, I had no idea she was his daughter until we had already started dating," he said to her "Man, he was so angry when he caught us, I'm glad he decided to give me a chance though," he told her. Chise told him that he could take the easy way out and go to someone with a healing quirk but it might be better like this because it gives him time to think about how he can improve from here and that he has things that can keep him preoccupied so his mind can wander from the thought of being in the hospital "Yeah I guess that's true, I just hate the fact that I'm stuck in here while everyone else is out there with the opportunity to get stronger, I'll just have to work even harder when I get out I guess," Akio said "I'm sure with G's help I can get a lot stronger," he said confidently

Chise said that it was good that G gave him a chance, and that due to him being a single parent he'd be worried and overprotective of their child and that it's their parental instinct, Akio nodded "Yeah, I understood why G was so worried, all I wanted was a chance and now that I've got one I've got no intention of letting it go," he told her confidently. She then said that when Akio gets out maybe they could work out together and that they're both on their way to becoming great heroes and helping each other would benefit them in the long run, she even suggested a joint training session with him, her and G, Akio nodded "That'd be awesome, I think G mentioned he might group us together for a couple of training sessions, we could definitely help each other become amazing heroes," Akio said with a smile "But enough about me, what's going on with you? Anything exciting or interesting happening in your life right now?" he asked her, he'd just been rambling on about him and his life so far, he wanted to ask about Chise so they weren't just talking about him the whole time
